Mister Legend

Chapter 70 Standing Home
In the locker room, the young man from Castilla lost control of his emotions. On the one hand, he was behind because of the score, and on the other hand, he was very angry when he heard that someone used racial insults to his head coach. Grab the guy and fight to the death with all the Royal United players and fans in the stadium.

This mood is not good.Although it is necessary to maintain a high fighting spirit in the game, it must be moderate. If you are too obsessed with fighting against your opponent, you will fall into complete passivity.The moves in this situation are very big, and it is very easy to be punished for fouls. And once you focus on competing with your opponent, you will no longer be able to pay attention to tactics, running coordination, or even where the ball goes. .If you can't see the situation on the field clearly, what kind of ball do you play?Just go directly to the ring with the opponent to solve it.So Li Mudi first wanted to do some ideological work for this group of angry little calves.

After instructing the physical therapists to rush forward to help massage the players who fought hard in the first half, the Castilla coach walked to the tactical whiteboard with a smile on his face, and coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. After looking at them one by one, he said slowly: "First of all, I would like to praise you as a worker for cultivating young players. In the previous 45 minutes, you have fully demonstrated what a professional football player should have. I’m very happy with his professionalism and tenacious style of play.” These words surprised the players who were still immersed in the unfavorable situation on the field before, and they thought the coach would be dissatisfied with the score behind.

Seeing some surprised expressions, Li Mudi smiled again, and continued: "Secondly, I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone in my personal capacity, thank you for your support and help to me in these two days, Thank you!" After saying that, he bowed deeply to the boys.

The players who were sitting on the chairs to rest or lying on the physiotherapy bed to receive the massage were taken aback. They hurriedly got up and looked at the big boss in panic, and they didn't care about competing with anyone at this time.

After getting up, Li Mudi signaled everyone to return to their original positions and do what they should do.Then there was a change of face immediately, with a serious expression, and said sharply: "But as the head coach of the team, I am very dissatisfied with your performance in these 45 minutes! Alvaro, what are you doing in the last 10 minutes?" ? In my pre-match arrangement, I asked you to use your personal skills to continuously attack the opponent's wing, not to use taekwondo to knock them down." The right winger lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

"Febas, do you only think about wrestling with your opponent? Even if you beat Alonso, don't forget that he has already scored a goal, and you only have a yellow card." New The core of the midfielder broke out in cold sweat.

"Rivero, although I admit that your physical fitness is indeed much better than that of your peers, don't you only grow your body but not your brain! The opponent is surrounded by two people, and you have to rush up to fight them. Do you think you are The club king?" The boy who just turned 18 was in tears.

"And Lin Liangming, your mother is a winger, winger!" Li Mudi said while tapping the tactical board with a pen, and at the same time gave his compatriots a fierce look, which scared Lin Liangming almost from his seat. I slid down and knelt down, but I still had to continue to criticize.

"Look at what I did in the first half? I turned into a f***ing full-back and kept retreating to defend. I remember that I arranged for a left-back before the game. Are you dead?" There was another sudden roar, frightened Shocked by the shock of the Brazilian Abner, he immediately got up and replied loudly: "It's not dead, it's fine!"

"Since you are alive, tell me, do you want to arrange such a screen in front of you to help you defend in the second half?"

Due to the need to mark the opponent's right winger Erzmendi, and center Garland also ran to his defensive area from time to time, Abner was really under a lot of pressure in the first half and had to seek help from his teammates.But now that the Boss has put the words here, he has to make a statement, so he simply responded: "Report Boss, I don't need the screen in front, I can solve some problems by myself." Then he whispered: "And His defense is so bad, it doesn't help!"

Abner is worthy of being a living treasure in the team. As soon as he said this, everyone immediately burst into laughter. The low atmosphere caused by the game situation and the head coach's criticism before suddenly escalated.Only Xiao Linzi, the underdog, accepted everyone's ridicule with a look of lovelessness.

After the boys had had enough laughs, Li Mudi assigned tasks to Lin Liangming again, but his attitude was much more relaxed. "In the second half of the game, you have to focus on the frontcourt, use the small-scale cooperation with the three central midfielders to hit Erzmendi's back more, your offensive threat is greater, and he will naturally be suppressed .In addition, you can make more use of Rivero's containment to shoot a few long-range shots, and at the same time pay attention to competing for the second landing point."

After seeing his compatriots nodding solemnly, Li Moody finally shouted to all the players: "The opponents are violating us with rough fouls on the field, and their fans are insulting us with despicable words outside the field. I know, this makes everyone very angry. .But at the same time I want you to think about it first, why did they do this? No team that came here before was treated like this, why us?"

Fabas, who had been silent until now, responded: "Because they are afraid of us!"

"Yes! Because the bastards of the Royal United know that they can't beat us, so they are afraid, and want to use these tricks to bring us down. Do you think we will still be fooled?" Always gentle and humble At this moment, Li Mudi turned into a swearing-mouthed villain, which surprised Solari and others beside him.

The players who responded to him immediately became emotional, shouting: "No! We will kill this bunch of idiots..."

Li Mudi made a gesture of pressing his hands down towards the red-eyed boys, and said in a low voice: "They want to knock us down here and make the second round meaningless... This is wishful thinking! But how can we break it?" What about their dreams?" Looking up at the expectant gazes in front of him, he continued: "Or fight them to the death like in the first half? No, our advantage is not that, but a fast and three-dimensional offensive system. In the second half, three The central midfielders need to coordinate their positions with each other. I require at least two people to step in and respond once the two wingers enter the opponent's half. And once there is a possibility of crossing from the winger, at least one person should run Go to the front of the penalty area to chase the second point."

Having said that, he turned his head to Rivero's side, and while drawing the position on the tactical board, he exhorted: "Unless there is an excellent opportunity after receiving the pass, don't force the shot, and go directly to the arc of the penalty area." At the top, pull the space to both sides at the same time, creating long-range opportunities for the teammates behind you." After seeing the other party nodding, he looked at Leon who was lying on the physiotherapy bed: "Retreat your position and be a scavenger , Manu will switch to man-marking central defenders and keep pestering Garland all the time, then all the defense in the penalty area will be handed over to you, and the central midfielders in front of you will provide you with the necessary help."

After arranging the subsequent tactical arrangements, the Castilla coach threw the pen back on the table and made a final summary: "We must continue to carry forward the previous tenacious style, not afraid of the opponent's physical confrontation, and be resolute when it is time to foul. , but don’t eat cards needlessly, you must calm your mind.” Then he closed his mouth and pointed out the door with his finger, and the fans of the home team in the stadium drifted into the quiet locker room accompanied by the music singing on the radio.After listening for a while, Li Moody sneered: "They think that the victory is in their pockets, we will be beaten all over the place, and finally we will be carried back to Madrid as dead bodies. I don't think so! I don't think so! I believe that in 45 minutes, Castilla will slap these rough guys hard and tell them who is the real football player."

"We're going home standing up!"

An undercurrent surged among the players.

After the kick-off of the second half, the shouts and boos of the Royal United fans in the stands did not decrease at all, and even the occasional voice of insulting Li Moody could be heard.But the Castilla coach was unmoved, standing on the edge of the court with his hands in his pockets, watching the ongoing game with a serious face.

After the kick-off, home team striker Garland had just walked ten meters in front of the penalty area when he found the young central defender with a baby face standing next to him.But when he moved to the wing, the kid still followed him, even after he switched positions with the winger, and the opponent also switched between two defenders, making Manu keep watching him.Garland then strengthened his running range and found that unless he exited the 40-meter line in the visiting team's half, he would always have this follower by his side.

Although Manu's man-to-man running made Castilla's running position on the field a bit confusing, Garland, who was tightly stuck to this piece of brown sugar, was completely out of the home team's offensive system. As if he got the hang of it, he used his speed and brave confrontation to make the home team's ace shooter very uncomfortable. If he wanted to catch the ball, he had to retreat to the midfield, but what's the use of getting the ball there?The final link of the royal joint attack was absent, and the two wingers could only be handed over to the two wingers. Unfortunately, they were not suitable for this job and could not play a role at all.

On the contrary, after solving the opponent's offense, Castilla began to create several opportunities in the home team's half.

Alonso controlled the ball in the middle, trying to find a supporter, but the active running and special man-marking tactics of the visiting team made several offensive players of the Royal United fail to run well. As a result, he hesitated He was grabbed by Toro and Muñoz and fell to the ground.Munoz, who stole the ball, distributed the football to Alvaro on the right. The latter, according to Li Moody's arrangement, directly accelerated and dribbled the ball towards the opponent's half.

The Royal United, who did not retreat in time, had only five defenders in their own half, and apart from Rivero who was always in front and Alvaro who dribbled the ball, Fabas and Munoz who had just completed the steal were also there. In the middle of the road, Lin Liangming ran desperately on the left, forming a five-on-five situation in an instant.

Seeing the bad situation, the home team's left-back Moxiluo immediately tried his best to slide the shovel, even at the cost of a foul to stop the opponent's dangerous counterattack.

It's a pity that Alvaro's attention was also very concentrated in the process of dribbling the ball at high speed. He rushed the ball out before the opponent's flying shovel came, and then took off with all his strength and flew over Moxilo's body, and then again After chasing the ball vigorously, he finally controlled the ball about ten meters away from the opponent's bottom line.

The central defender Esnaola, who was marking in the penalty area, was afraid that the opponent would cut inside, so he hurriedly handed Rivero over to his central defender partner Aimar, and at the same time called the defensive midfielder Rodella to take his place, and he accelerated Rush to the side to intercept Alvaro.

At the moment when several people switched defenses, Munoz also ran to the top of the arc of the penalty area, causing Rodella to hesitate in choosing who to mark. Just over the head of Esnaola, who stepped forward to defend, Rivero in the middle stuck Aimar tightly behind him, and a powerful lion swayed his head six meters in front of the goal, and the ball was hated smashed into the Royal United goal.

In 1 minute, Castilla pulled the score back to the same level.
