Father Green

Chapter 3 and Three: The Lisbon Twin
After the friendly match, Sporting Lisbon coach Marco Silva found Charlotte.Although the head coach is much younger than himself, Silva did not underestimate the opponent's idea.You know, what is the Premier League?Who can create a world where there is no real material?

Silva first asked about the situation in the Premier League. Charlotte told him that the pace of the Premier League is very fast, and the opponent will not give you much time to dribble. Can't eat it.

At the same time, the Premier League is not suitable for Portugal's desire for fancy moves. It doesn't matter how simple or effective it is. As long as you can hit the ball into the opponent's goal, it doesn't matter if you hit it with your butt.

The Premier League and the Portuguese Super League have a lot in common, but also have many differences.Charlotte looked at the opponent as if she wanted to develop in the Premier League.
"Then who do you think has the best talent in our team?" Charlotte's reputation for selecting and training young players has spread to Portugal, so Silva asked this question.

At the beginning, he poached the Spanish right back Danilo before Porto, which made Porto very angry.Then just promoted to the Premier League and poached Colombian attacking midfielder James Rodriguez from Porto. Although Porto made a lot of money for this black shop, but one season has passed, it turns out that the real earner It's Charlotte.

Charlotte was a little speechless, and said that the ones I know the most about the entire Portuguese league are those few players. There are many players in your team that I have never even heard of, and I can see what they have just played a friendly match. ?
Damn, I really think I am a computer, and I know everything with an infrared scan
After thinking about it, Charlotte remembered seeing an "acquaintance" at Sporting Lisbon before. Compared with the current Sporting Lisbon players, that acquaintance will be more famous a few years later.

"I think the NO.15 left back is good, and the young man's defensive foundation is still good." Charlotte said.

"NO.15? Rojo?" Silva is naturally very familiar with his players. He knew who it was when Charlotte mentioned the number, even though he had just taken over the team not long ago.

It's just that the name is a bit beyond Silva's expectations. Although Rojo is currently the main left back of Sporting Lisbon, the Argentine is not outstanding in the team.At least compared to that vote of offensive players, Rojo does not have much fame and does not attract much attention from his head coach.

The point is that the Portuguese league, like the Premier League, puts more emphasis on full-backs who participate in the offense. Rojo's defense is good. For a young player, he can gain a foothold in the Portuguese Super League.But now the team's definition of a full-back is not just good defense. It has high requirements for speed, anticipation, and crossing. These are exactly what Argentine defenders lack.

"What do you think of Van Wolfswinkle?" Silva asked.

"Who?" Charlotte didn't have much impression of this awkward and unfamiliar name, but he knew Wolfsburg.

Silva was a little embarrassed: "It's the number nine, the one who scored one of your goals before."

I wonder if this little guy is just showing off. He has no impression of him scoring the only goal in the game for Sporting Lisbon.
Van Wolfswinkle is Sporting Lisbon's current top scorer with eleven goals in all competitions.

When Silva said this, Charlotte understood: "Oh, that Dutchman, it's okay."

Okay? !

The top scorer in his team, the core of the offense seems to be underestimated by the opponent, Silva is so angry!
Charlotte naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but that number nine was really ordinary.Not to mention anything else, Harry Kane and Sterling can beat each other a few blocks at this stage, not to mention the more mature two in the future.

So this guy with a mouthful name is purely the character of no tiger monkey in the mountains calling himself the king.Concentrate the offensive firepower of the whole team on you alone, so you can only score less than fifteen goals in a season?This is the Portuguese Super League, not a heavily defended league like the Bundesliga and Serie A.

I don't know if this head coach named Silva took office through the back door, and he still asked me such a simple question?

"That NO.15, Rojo! I think he has a good position and defense, and he can bounce well. He should also be able to play as a central defender. You can try it, and you may have unexpected gains." Charlotte said I will bid farewell to Silva, he is going to go back to rest now, this guy is simply a... Grieving little fairy.

After spending almost two days in Sporting Lisbon, the game against Benfica has already arrived.

"Welcome everyone to the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal. Now is the first round of the semi-finals of the 2012-2013 Europa League brought to you by Sina Sports. The match between the Portuguese giants Benfica and the Premier League leader Southampton at home , I'm Zhan Jun!"

Perhaps in Charlotte's view, this game is not as important as the two-day weekend league game, but this game in China has attracted a lot of attention.Not only Sina, but also LeTV, PPTV and local sports channels around the world have live broadcasts, but CCTV did not arrange live broadcasts because they did not buy the copyright of the Europa League.

A certain person in charge of the CCTV Sports Channel is heartbroken. Damn, I thought it would be an unprecedented time for Southampton to be lucky enough to break into the group stage. Who the hell knew they could reach the semi-finals! !

But at most, it will be criticized by the fans for such a season, because according to Southampton's current results, they will definitely go to the Champions League next season, and the Champions League. CCTV bought the broadcast rights.

"Southampton this season has surprised everyone. They have already won the English League Cup and are currently ahead of No.2 Manchester United by [-] points in the league. That is to say, in the remaining four league games, Southampton only needs to Win one of them, or tie two games, you can win the league championship this season. At the same time, in the Europa League, they have passed all the way and reached the semi-finals. If they can pass the Benfica in front of them If it is closed, then they will reach the final of the Europa League in a historic way!" Although the fans are well aware of these situations, Zhan Jun still introduced them again.

"There is no doubt that Southampton's biggest contributor is their young head coach, the magical Charlotte from China. Since he was the head coach of the Saints last season, he has been out of control. Last season, he won the British Championship and the After winning the FA Cup, it is also possible to win a triple crown this season, at least the double crown is not a big problem." Alan Hansen said.

"Yes, Charlotte has brought something different to Southampton. They hold high the banner of attacking, they have a lot of talent in their camp, all of them are young players. The key is that such young players Charlotte will be tough. They are divided into two sets of tactical lineups to deal with the league and the cup respectively, and the excellent depth of the bench is also the secret of his success this season." Alan Shearer continued.

Because the Chelsea game will be played one day later, both Sky Sports and the BBC have enough time to broadcast the semi-finals of the two UEFA Cups. After all, the Premier League team was wiped out in the Champions League. The only thing left to talk about masturbating is the Europa League.

"This year's Portuguese Super League championship looks like Porto is bound to win, so Benfica can only compete for the Portuguese Cup and the Europa League this season, but even after passing Southampton, they will face Chelsea or Juventus , so relatively speaking, their pressure is greater than that of Southampton. After all, Southampton has won the League Cup and is aiming for the League Championship, so even without the Europa League, it is still very successful for them. .No, it was a miracle season." Martin Taylor analyzed.

Indeed, compared to Southampton, Benfica is under more pressure. After all, they have no hope of competing for the league championship, so their coach Jesus wants to fight in the Europa League.

"We have already got the starting lineups of both sides." Zhan Jun in front of the screen held a piece of A4 paper: "For Benfica, the starting goalkeeper is Arthur from Brazil. This is Benfica's main goalkeeper. The left back is Mel. Gallejo, the central defender is Luisao and Garay, and the right back is Pereira."

"In the midfield, Matic and Martins are partnered, Nicolas Gaitan is on the left and Enzo Perez is on the right, the leading striker Lima is the second striker, and the center forward Cardoso is in front."

"Southampton's starting lineup here, I think everyone guessed the same. Yes, Charlotte used Southampton's 'Europa League version'. The only slightly unexpected thing is a slight change in the midfield." James Jun first sells a pass.

"The goalkeeper is Ter Stegen. There is nothing to say about the back line. Danny Rose, Jose Fonte, Nkuru and Carvajal. The midfielder is Wanyama and Schneiderlin. It is the main force standard. But it is not the vice-captain Lallana in the front midfielder, but the teenager Pogba. Pogba's position is the front midfielder? But it may be formed in front of Schneiderlin and Wanyama The formation of a double central midfielder, we have seen this style of play several times in the Saints."

"The two sides are the Gabonese supercar Aubameyang and the Colombian international Rodriguez, and the forward center is the Pampas eagle Icardi."

"However, Charlotte has a lot of cards, and there are good attackers such as Lallana, De Bruyne and Sterling on the bench. I think Charlotte has a lot of options when she can't open the situation. .”
