Chapter 33 Lore

Jess shakes Eugene Pope's hand dejectedly, then walks down the tunnel.Although there was an assist, the bad situation the team faced in the second half was inseparable from his ineffective control in the midfield.Tang En walked over and stopped him.

"You did a good enough job, Ian. Don't worry, go take a shower and come back to the game. We'll win."

Maybe he didn't believe the last words of the head coach, Jess looked up at Tang En.

The young head coach grinned and said, "Want to bet, Ian?"

"It's unbelievable! When Forest were leading by two goals, everyone thought Wimbledon was over, but look at it now... In the first half, Forest scored two goals in four minutes to establish the lead. It was Wimbledon's turn in the second half. Deng exploded, and they also scored two goals in a row within 4 minutes, tying the score to a tie!" While explaining, Mortensen thought about this question: Is it true that as long as there is Tony Twain in the game, there must be So dramatic?There's always something going on and people looking forward to it.

"After conceding two goals, Twain made substitution adjustments. He replaced veteran player Ian Jess with German youngster Eugene Pope. But I bet, his substitution was aimed at being pulled by the opponent. It's a case of returning a goal. The second Wimbledon goal came too fast, no one thought of it!"

That's right, no one thought of it, even their own coach, Mr. Murdoch, so his celebration was not as crazy as the first goal. He just hugged his assistant coach and stood on the sidelines Applause to the players.

Tang En glanced at the other party, and found that no matter how he looked at him, he was not pleasing to the eye.If he was really tied by his opponent, he would have thought not to attend the post-match press conference at all, he didn't want to see that smug old face.If that old guy said a little more self-satisfied wild words at the press conference, such as "we deserved to win" and "it's a pity we didn't get all three points", Tang En can't guarantee that he won't plug the microphone in front of the media into each other's mouth.

In short, he was very upset!Fortunately, the German kid's performance made him feel a little better.

Eugen Pope made his first tackle shortly after he came on. He tackled Leocock's ball beautifully in the middle, and then distributed it to Williams on the wing, although the ball was lost again quickly. .However, the young man's performance still got applause from the fans in the stands.Tang En also gave him a thumbs up from the sidelines.

Pope, who has been affirmed by fans and the head coach, has become more active.Then fans and commentators saw scenes like this——

Wimbledon gained possession with a ferocious tackle from their own team, but it was quickly cleared by Eugene Pope.The poorly organized Pope chose to pass the ball to Andy Reid or Gareth Williams, but the ball changed hands immediately under the pressure of Wimbledon.Wimbledon decided to rush into the 30-meter area of ​​the Forest team, taking advantage of the momentum of just equalizing the score to make persistent efforts and turn defeat into victory.But as soon as the ball entered the midfield, it was cut off by Pope and Smeka again...

Often within 2 minutes, possession can change hands back and forth between these two teams three or four times.

If he can't break the ball, Pope will also try to foul, delay the opponent's offensive speed, and interrupt the offensive rhythm.He didn't have physical problems when he just came on the court, and he felt much better than those Wimbledon players who pressed for half the game.

The result is that the Forest team's offense cannot be played, and Wimbledon's offense has repeatedly hit a wall.The two sides fell into a quagmire of mistakes in the midfield.

Tang En was very happy with this situation, and he said to Walker: "We successfully held off the opponent, that kid Pope did a good job, maybe I should consider giving him a proper chance to play."

Walker agreed with the second half of Dunn's sentence, but he was not optimistic about the team's situation on the court. "Pope was brilliant last season. But I don't think we could beat Wimbledon if we could keep Wimbledon off. Are you suddenly happy with the draw, Tony?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied with the draw, but I have to give the team a buffer time..." Tang En didn't know what to do. The price of strengthening the midfield defense was to weaken the offensive organization ability. Ian Jess was not good at defending, passing Twain still admires the experience and experience.Seems like it's all about Andy Reed now?

Tang En suddenly thought of something, he asked Walker how long until the end of the game.

"Not counting stoppage time, ten and seven minutes."

"It's not too late. Des, you go and call Cash back."

The balance of the situation that Pope worked so hard to achieve cannot be wasted like this.As the head coach, Twain must make adjustments in time, otherwise he will be a sinner if the team fails to win.

The 20-year-old Irish forward Brian`Cash (Brian`Cash) can play both sides of the midfield. His ability to pass and shoot has nothing to praise. Medium is too average.This was the conclusion Tang En had drawn from the training.However, there was one thing Dunn appreciated about him, and that was his excellent dribbling skills.Cash is not a player who relies on speed to make breakthroughs. His breakthroughs are all based on practical skills that surpass the opponent.

Because basically the four main players in the midfield have been determined, both Cash and Pope can only accept the arrangement of being a substitute.Such players may not be able to play every game, but there will definitely be a few games that are most suitable for their performance.Like this game.

The appearance of Eugene Pope proved that Twain's thinking was correct. Now that he had stabilized his defense, he was going to start a counterattack.

Cash returned to the coaching bench, and Twain told him that there was only one thing to do after playing: "Break through, break through, break through again. Don't be afraid of the black feet of Wimbledon's defense, they are already dying, you haven't seen them Are you gasping for breath? Use your skills to tease them, irritate them, and break through them! As long as their defense line is disturbed by you, our chance will come..."

Speaking of this, Cash suddenly asked: "Boss, how messy is it?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, then said: "Stir it into juice!"

"I understand!"

"You understand?" Tang En remembered that he hadn't finished speaking.

"Well, it's like chopping up an apple and blending it in a blender."

Tang En opened his eyes wide and looked at the Irishman: "Oh, my God. Your description is amazing! Yes, that's it! But we have to replace the apples with nuts. Go up and crush them!"
