Mister Legend

Chapter 25 The Helplessness of the Reserve Team
This day's training has just started, the head coach called all members of the coaching staff to the office next to the training ground for a meeting.

Li Moody threw the newspaper on the table, and said to Solari angrily: "Are these newspapers crazy? Such a big fanfare! Mbappé is really in good condition now, but you must know that he is facing the third. For an opponent in the first-level league, if he plays in La Liga, those old fritters will teach him how to be a man every minute. Which peerless prodigy at this age can show more outstanding strength than adults in top games? This is encouragement and praise Is it? This is killing! There are ulterior motives! Other tabloids don’t mention it, Maka and Asi must not be unaware of it!”

Solari also agrees with this, "It is indeed a bit too exaggerated. This kid is still young, and doing so may affect his mentality. Just now, he seemed a little impetuous."

Upon hearing this, Li Mudi quickly told everyone to pay more attention and cut off the bad signs in advance.

After everyone agreed, Olellana, a fitness coach who has worked for many La Liga teams and has a deep understanding of Spanish football, brought up a new topic: "16 years old! I just came to a brand new environment. With such a good performance, it’s no wonder that it caused such a big commotion, Messi didn’t seem to be such a sensation when he was just a fledgling!”

The offensive coach Pozzo also actively participated in it, waving his hand and said: "Messi became famous when he was in the reserve team, but he didn't perform like this. He exploded slowly after he was promoted to the first team, and at that time his age should be Almost 20 years old."

Olellana turned her head to face the boss, smiled and said, "It seems that Li is still very powerful, and there is no one in his eyes."

Facing this naked flattery, Li Mudi was so beautiful in his heart, but he was still very humble on his lips. "Where is where? Luck luck!"

Just when the atmosphere gradually turned to joy, Solari suddenly said: "Do you think Rafa will transfer Mbappe to the first team?"

……

There will always be such a cold guy in a team, pouring a basin of cold water on everyone when they are in high spirits.

But this problem really made the entire coaching staff feel a headache.The only serious striker in the first team is Benzema, and it is impossible to insist on playing for the entire season.Although Ronaldo and Jesse can also stand in front, they are not as threatening as when they have space to sprint on the side.Benitez puts Mariano on the bench from time to time to prevent special situations from happening, but because of tactical play, he doesn't like to use him very much, so he hasn't played for the first team this season.According to the regulations of the Spanish Football Association, if a player registers for a certain game of the first team, he cannot participate in the reserve team game of that round, and the same is true for transfers.That is to say, in the same round, as long as Mariano is drawn by the first team, he will definitely not be able to play in Castilla's West Division B, which leads to his very little playing time in the new season.

Now that Mbappe is on fire, and his technical characteristics are in line with the requirements of the first team, will Benitez let him replace Mariano's bench position?Although in reality the French teenager exploded a year later, it was in Monaco, and Li Moody was not confident that he would come to Real Madrid a year earlier and would still be able to make it.After all, the Bernabéu puts too much pressure on the players, especially for young players, it can be called a nightmare.Canales (Sergio C****es), Drenthe (Royston Ricky Drenthe) and Pavón (Francisco Pavón) are all here, lost themselves.Now that there are so many people paying attention in the reserve team, if he is under the spotlight of the first team, who knows if Mbappe will only think about life like Mario Balotelli from now on!

Putting aside the false name of wanting to train players, as a football coach, Li Moody certainly hopes that his disciples can grow steadily and gradually become world superstars. Mbappe is his very optimistic successor to the future football champion .But as the head coach of the reserve team, he has no way and no right to interfere with the decision of the first-team coach. This is really helpless.

After the team meeting was hastily concluded, when everyone walked out of the office and rushed to the training ground, Li Mudi thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called Qi Zu, asking if there was any transfer of Mbappe from the first team recently. mean.But after all, Qi Zu is just Benitez's special consultant, not even a coach, and he can't get involved in tactical arrangements and player selection at all. Bei Shuai will not talk to him about the transfer of reserve team players, so ... I can't help it.

In the subsequent team training, Li Moody was a little absent-minded on the sidelines, and he kept thinking: If this happened, how many opportunities will Mbappe get in the first team?Mariano was replaced by someone 5 years younger than him, will he feel resentment?And this also means that he will completely lose the opportunity to gain a foothold in the first team. What will happen to his future?Will this happen to current players such as Erdegaard and Enzo...

In the evening, in the sixth round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Malaga (Málaga Club de Fútbol) at home. They had 70% of the ball possession time and failed to score a goal with 31 shots.With such a need to make changes, Benitez only changed players once, and it was still because of Jesse's injury that he could not persist in the game.Mariano, who made Castilla have a lot of trouble yesterday because of being transferred to the first team, sat on the bench for a full 94 minutes (including stoppage time in the first and second half). The 0-0 score not only made the Bernabéu booed Benitez, but also made Li Moody more helpless, and some thoughts came up involuntarily.

On October 10, the team had a day off and no training was arranged.Li Moody recruited the FM system interface to use this month's scouting tool and found several good news.

姆巴佩在9月末的双值已经变成了137/180了，能力对比8月末上涨了3点，潜力对比上次显示的数值也提高了3点，可以说是西乙B级联赛的头号球星了。

In addition, the ability values ​​of the main goalkeeper Yanez, central defender Leon, Odegaard and Enzo who performed well in many games have all increased by 2 points, and the abilities of the other main players have generally increased by 1 point.

Correspondingly, there is also a less optimistic situation. The ability value of the substitute players who have fewer opportunities to play has not increased. So far, they have not played Cena and Rodriguez for 1 minute, and their ability has dropped by 2 points.Also, apart from Mbappe, no one's potential value has changed.

Based on the overall appearance of the players, so far, the morale and state of the team are not bad, after all, it is during the winning streak.However, Li Moody has some problems with the use of players. The distinction between the main force and the substitute is too obvious, causing some players to be very fatigued, while some players have a serious shortage of playing time.Among them, the personal information of Mariano, Ganfornina, and Narvaez all showed some dissatisfaction with the playing time, which aroused Li Moody's great attention.Unity is the foundation of a successful group. If someone in it makes a bad voice, it will be too difficult to go on smoothly.As the leader of the team, it is very important to do a good job of maintaining the atmosphere of everyone.So Li Moody decided to increase the rotation of players from the next league game, so that more players can participate in the team's victory and success.

Why not start the rotation in the next game, the 7th round of the league?Because the next opponent is really a strong opponent, and the 8th round of the league will meet the national team match day, it is just right to let the substitute players play more.

On October 10, Castilla will challenge Guadalajara (CDGuadalajaraSAD) away.The home team is currently ranked No. 3 in the standings with 2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses and 7 records. Although this result is very average, you must know that they started with a three-game losing streak before and rose rapidly after two core players returned from injury. Unbeaten in the past three rounds.

Speaking of these two core players, they really have a deep connection with Castile.Right back Moyano (Jesús Moyano) is 26 years old this year. He was born in Real Madrid's youth training. He also had a lot of appearance records in Castilla that year.This player has very comprehensive abilities. Looking at his ability values ​​through the FM system, it can be found that there are almost no single digits. Although none of the values ​​​​are high, almost all of them are in the range of 10-12.This kind of ability is the level of the number one right back in the Spanish third tier league.Moreover, he only left Castile in 11 years, and he had an intersection with Li Moody for a year, so he can be called an old acquaintance.

And another core, striker Riki (Riki) is an older former Castilian player. The 35-year-old played three games for the then Real Madrid C team and the reserve team before the 03-04 season. season.The veteran's condition is quite good. He just arrived from the La Liga team Granada on a free transfer in the summer. With a lot of experience, he is a very difficult old demon.

Guadalajara, like the third-round opponent Socuelamos, is also located in the autonomous region of Castilla-La Mancha, very close to the city of Madrid.Its home stadium is very distinctive, with a capacity of 5000 people, which is quite a lot for the third-tier league, but it is not common to have a design where none of the seats are all standing tickets.The usual attendance rate - this should be called the admission rate, is less than 5000%, but the game against the league leader will undoubtedly be full. [-] crazy fans standing and watching the game, this is not a good distraction for any visiting team here.What's more, the morale of the team is now high, and it is really difficult for Li Mudi's team to retreat unscathed.

The team took the bus to the reserved hotel, and was stopped by several crazy home team fans outside the gate for a while. It was only under the protection of hotel security and patrol police that they were able to enter the hotel gate smoothly.At this time, an unprecedented sense of tension spread among the young players. Most of them had never experienced such an experience, and the coach was even a rookie. Being well-informed, I calmed down with some verbal encouragement, so that the atmosphere would not be too bad.

The adaptation in the evening was watched by more than 2000 fans who entered the field early, which made the Castilla players feel uncomfortable and emotional.
