Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 88 This Is Growth

"The young core of Leiria-the pearl of Porto's youth training", the headline of "Match" diverted the attention of many viewers from Deco. After all, the Brazilian midfielder has been famous for many years, and the media is more willing Discover new hotspots of public opinion from local young players.

"In the No.16 Portuguese League round that ended yesterday, the direct dialogue between the No. Porto needs to be thankful that they have Deco, the best midfielder in the league. If it weren't for his magical performance, Leiria would very likely step on Porto to enter the European Champions Cup qualification zone in the middle of the league.

Leiria's No.5 performance last season is enough to amaze us, but now their momentum has gone straight to the top three in the league. The biggest contributor is naturally the head coach Jose Mourinho who led the team. The former Benfica coach has conquered many Portuguese fans with his unique style of offensive football. We really need to be surprised by this. What is it that gives Leiria an attack power that is even comparable to the three giants?

It is worth noting that Leiria, who is financially tight, did not do much in the summer transfer window. They just rented a young player from Porto's youth academy, Jan Rodriguez.According to the investigation of the reporters, Mourinho personally proposed this signing to the club, and even caused rumors of an illegitimate child in the Leiria team. Now that the [-]th round of the league has passed, Jan Rodriguez What did you do for the club?
Five starts, eight substitute appearances, and Rodriguez, who did not maintain full attendance during the rotation, handed in an answer sheet with one goal and seven assists. Of course, this record is not a surprise, but as long as a few other statistics are added , we will discover the importance of this young man in the Leiria formation.According to statistics, during the time Rodriguez played, his offensive participation reached an astonishing 90.00%, and his pass success rate was 80.00%.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to call him the core of Leiria's midfielder. We have reason to believe that if it is not for the influence of age and physical factors, with this performance, Rodriguez can completely replace the starting midfielder. The position is firmly held in the hand.In the game against Porto, it was the young Jan Rodriguez who helped Leiria maintain the lead before stoppage time.

Although the first goal went to Leiria center Patro, most of the credit went to Rodriguez, who completely dominated the counterattack.Although the time to overtake the score was very little, it was the extremely fast long pass, which went directly through Porto's midfield to the feet of the double forwards. This ability to transport shells forward is very precious.

At the same time, compared with most Portuguese midfielders, Rodriguez rarely occupies the ball. He is extremely efficient in getting rid of people and almost never sticks to the ball. Every coach should be happy to have such a genius under his command. Although Rodriguez was replaced in the second half of the game, he had some unpleasant emotions with Leiria coach Mourinho, but it should be just a small problem, and the two masters and apprentices who have a good relationship will not care This spur of the moment on the pitch..."

……

A last-minute conceded goal turned three points into one, and no one was happy, leaving Leiria in a subdued silence as they left the visiting dressing room at the Asantas Stadium However, Mourinho felt a little relieved by this.

In the draw with Benfica, there was still happiness with a fluke mentality in the team, but now, Leiria's mentality has changed. They no longer put themselves in a lower position to think about the game. The self-confidence generated in the environment of struggle and hard work is also the mentality of a quasi-strong team that Portugal's middle and lower teams look forward to but are difficult to cultivate.

After being defeated by Paulinho relying on experience, the helpless and humiliating anger went to Yang's head. He sat on the bench and watched the team lose the victory within easy reach. The feeling of powerlessness gradually overwhelmed the belt It was not until after taking a shower that Yang calmed down and thought about his somewhat aggressive behavior.

Sitting on the team bus, Marovic could see his depressed state of mind. The old captain knew what kind of psychological gap Young had experienced in the game, from Deco's divinely assisted goal causing the score to fall behind, to relying on his own efforts Earning back the situation, this is the time for young people to burst into confidence.

Porto's coach Octavio adopted targeted tactics at this time, and Paulinho also successfully achieved a one-for-one effect. Yang, who already felt that he could dominate the game, was suddenly taken out of it. It must be a tough feeling to want to do something more for the team and not be able to do anything.

"Little guy, don't blame yourself anymore, if you reach my age, you will find that the game is indeed like this a lot of times, one omission, one flash of inspiration, and the result will be turned upside down.

But to get to the bottom of it, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and material resources are sometimes poor. You have done a good job in this game. I can understand your mentality at that time. Uncle, I have also felt that I am omnipotent.

You have to make enough right choices on the field to break through your limits and defeat enemies who are stronger than you. Even if Porto's midfielder is annoying, you should stick to your consistent style.

In the ten minutes he played, he only caught one chance to completely irritate you at the end, and this opportunity was given to him by yourself. There were countless choices at that time, but you chose to confront him head-on.

It was because of the discovery that you could not continue to implement the established tactics that the coach planned to make substitutions and adjustments. There was also a more important reason, because of insufficient physical fitness, you rarely played the entire game, and Porto was so difficult. Guess you were already feeling a little tired? "

Marovic sat next to Yang, patted his shoulder and whispered the advice. The Leiria team members who approached them showed a knowing smile on their faces. They all closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep, just to avoid embarrassing the young man. .

Yang looked up at Mourinho, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, and lowered his eyes in embarrassment: "I know what I did wrong when I left the court, and I want to say sorry to the coach..."

"Conflicts between men, many times a sincere apology is enough, not to mention that you are still so young, your Uncle Jose will forgive you, if it were us old guys, maybe he would not It will be so easy to talk." Marovich shrugged and turned his thighs sideways to make way for Jan who was sitting inside.

Yang bit his lip, leaned on the back of the chair, stood in the middle of the car, and walked slowly towards the front row. The bus shook slightly while driving, and every Leiria team member sitting on both sides of the aisle smiled and stretched out their arms. Help the wandering teenagers to walk more steadily.

Yang walked to the chair in the first row, and said in a murmur, "Coach, I apologize for my lack of calmness, I'm sorry..."

Mourinho turned his head and looked at the boy's black eyes that were shining like stars under the light, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved upwards. He stretched out his hand and stroked Yang's head lightly twice.

"The game is over, you don't need to call me coach..." Mourinho paused, and patted the young man on the shoulder, "Go back to your seat, I don't want the young man who performed the best today to lose his job because of traffic problems. Combat attrition."

……

After returning to the hotel where the team stayed, Mourinho convened his coaching staff to analyze some of the problems that arose during the game, and the group discussed it late into the night.

After the other assistants left the room, Faria and Brito stayed at the end. The former looked at Mourinho who was rubbing his eyebrows with a tired face and said:

"I thought you would take the initiative to talk to Rodriguez after the game. I didn't expect him to wake up earlier than I thought. It seems that Marovic's psychological counseling is doing well. Hey, Brito, he is Steal your job."

Brito laughed and didn't answer his words. Mourinho shook his head and said first: "I wanted to suppress this little guy's temper. Since the beginning of this season, his road has gone so smoothly. Well, he hasn't been taken special care of in a few tough battles, so someone noticed him today.

I have to say that Octavio has identified our weaknesses. Laeria Asia Pacific lacks an effective point of attack. As long as we pinch Yang, we will lose the ability to quickly switch between offensive and defensive forms. I have also thought about this problem before. , intending to use the form of weakening the midfielder to play the wing, but this kind of offensive and defensive formation is really not sure to play Porto.

It's good to have such a person to hit Yang, the higher the praise, the harder the fall, and he can't be too blindly confident. This Paulinho Santos's back and feet are relatively clean, which can be regarded as letting Yang know the famous people in advance. Hasn't Deco been targeted in the same way for the treatment of players? "

Faria nodded: "Next, I will strengthen his confrontation ability. Yang's body is still the biggest weakness. Although he can give himself more space after running training, but this game Once this is over, it is estimated that the opponents of the Portuguese League will have woken up. Who will not be able to exchange one for one, and there is no disadvantage if it is ten or ten. Porto has given us a difficult problem. In the future It’s not a good game.”

"Originally, the league is almost halfway through, and even the most hidden weapons should be thoroughly studied by the opponent. There is nothing to be afraid of. Yang needs to solve the difficulties he faces, and we have something to do. The tactics need to be further enriched. Players We must continue to maintain our good form, Faria and Brito, we will be busy next time."

It is certainly a pity not to beat Porto, but after the game is over, there is no need to regret anything. The most important thing is to prepare for Leiria's next match. Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and took pictures of each other Pat each other on the shoulder.
