Chapter 113 The Silent Intermission

There were 22 people in the team, 18 players entered the field, and 11 players entered the field, including the sent-off goalkeeper Witmar. They all stood in front of Coach Cork with their heads bowed, as if they were sweeping the grave.There was no sound in the locker room, even the usually funny Ljubyankic was silent - that's natural, today Ljubyankic can almost be said to be one of the worst performers.Many balls were counterattacked because he lost the ball. In addition, his weak offense also led the Dutch to dare to attack unscrupulously.But being beaten to 0:4 at halftime, it is not only the responsibility of Ljubyankic alone, it must be the problem of the whole team...

including me……

No one dared to make a sound at this time, and Coach Cork wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.He stretched out his hand and waved it in the sky for a while, but no one knew what he meant...he couldn't say a word...

That feeling of dead silence, that sense of the end of the world, was transmitted through the Slovenian dressing room.No morale, no strength, nothing that looked promising at all.Not only was the score behind by a large margin, but it was still 10 against 11. In the second half, I really don't know what will happen...

Suddenly, a strange laugh came from the corner——

The laugh came only briefly, then disappeared again.Although it was very quiet, everyone could still hear it very clearly because there was no sound in the locker room!

"Anderkovic! You can still laugh at this time?!" Cesar cursed angrily.

"Ah, sorry, I was wrong..."

Anderkovic knew he made a low-level mistake at the wrong time... Although he didn't play today because of a cold, Kilm replaced him, but he is seriously reflecting on the whole team He was looking at his mobile phone when he was playing, and happened to see a funny joke - so he committed public outrage at an inopportune moment. Although he didn't play, the poor man was criticized by everyone!

"Enough! At this time, why are you still talking nonsense!" Coach Kok finally spoke.

His eyebrows were trembling, which showed that he was really angry.Although Slovenia is not a strong team, at least it is also a European team that has entered the World Cup. Now that it is beaten by the Dutch team, the pressure on Coach Koke must be so great that we can't imagine... He may never meet in his life. After a few such big defeats, it was only halftime, and the conclusion of the outcome can already be made. This feeling is really bad...

I walked up to Coach Cork and said to him: "I'm sorry...I didn't defend well and let Sneijder and Robben do whatever they wanted. It's all my responsibility...Coach Cork, please... arrange Tactics for the second half...it doesn't matter if I'm replaced..."

"If I have someone to replace, then I will definitely change. However, there is no one to replace in your position. What you have to do now is to give me a good second half of the game. This game is already like this, Now, your most important task is not to attack, not to defend, but to avoid getting a card! We will play Luxembourg in the next game, and this game must be won. If you get suspended because of a card in this game If you lose the next game, you will really become a sinner..." Now that the big score is behind, Coach Kirk is also in a very bad mood. He who is usually good to me, this time he speaks, unexpectedly With such a strong tone.I suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, and felt fear in my heart for the first time...

Coach Cork cleared his throat and finally spoke in front of all the players:
"Guys, this is the most difficult time for our Slovenian team. We were 0-4 down to the Dutch team in the first half, and, because of the red card, we are still playing one player less. This is our life. A big experience, we have to get over it. Even if we can't recover in the second half, we must try our best not to expand the score. If we unfortunately create the largest loss in Slovenian history, we will not be able to explain to the nationals , Our children who like football will cast a shadow in their hearts. In this way, our Slovenian children will dislike football less and less in the future, and there will be fewer and fewer children who choose football. This is It will be a devastating blow to Slovenia's football. So we can't continue to increase the number of goals lost. We must defend well and keep the Dutchman out of our goal! I will not change for the second half People, because of an accident in the first half, we have already substituted two people. The precious substitutions in the second half will be used to prevent the possibility of injuries. Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, we will With the current lineup, go to fight against the opponent, we must fall like soldiers, not die like cowards!"

"But, we are all like this, is there any hope..." Ljubyankic said with a mournful face.

Coach Kok has been known for his impassioned speeches since he became the head coach of our national team. His incitement is extremely strong and he can always bring us great morale.However, this time, under the huge disadvantage, even Coach Kirk's best speech has lost its effect... Such sadness is more uncomfortable than death!

Not to mention, we'd have to play again and endure a full 45 minutes of torture!
Once again, the locker room fell into deathly silence.

The time has come, we must go out.

We saw in the player tunnel that when the Dutchman walked out of the tunnel, his expression was very relaxed. Sneijder even smiled and made fun of Van Persie.In contrast, the complexion of our team is much uglier... Is this the difference between the winner and the loser... Such a comparison of morale, how can we... have the confidence to hold on in the second half!

When we walked out of the stadium, a bigger challenge came!The Dutch fans in the audience saw the Dutch team playing, and the audience shouted, deafening!In contrast, the Slovenian fan camp, which already had a small number of fans, had low morale and no one shouted. Even the team flag was crooked and no one helped it up.

Do we really want to... just waste time and wait to lose...
