Chapter 80 My Battle
Djic left the team and I was alone in my dorm.When I came back from basic physical training in the morning, I was really upset to see the empty dormitory.Dejic is one of the few technical players in Slovenia. Except for him, I am afraid that no one in Slovenia can compete with Hleb on the technical level.Although we can use violent tackles and fierce defense to deal with Hleb, but in the offense, without the technical assistance of Djic, our offense will probably be like headless chickens. Go forward with a big foot in the backcourt, and then fight for speed... However, no matter how indispensable Djic is, if he does not return home at night, it is also a violation of the team's discipline and affects his body. Coach Kirk Even if he is punished to leave the national team, there is nothing to criticize in terms of management...

Eh, I can only sigh at him.Djic is not here, Coach Koke said he wants me to play the position of defensive midfielder, am I...can I do it...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the second training session of the day began.

Coach Cork made it clear to the whole team that my new position is a defensive midfielder, who is responsible for interception and long-range shots in the midfield.Moreover, despite the opposition of most players, he added me to the main lineup!My original position was a striker, and I fell back to such a deep defensive position all of a sudden. I felt the pressure. Facing the repeated attacks of my teammates, I really didn't know if I could withstand it.Even if we can rely on the cooperation with other midfielders to play a good defense against our substitute lineup, but when we face the Belarusians, can we defend Hleb?
I knew very well that the reason I was able to tackle Hleb with a ferocious wave tackle that day, knocking Hleb to the ground and taking the ball from him, was because he didn't notice me at all, and , He has been through five people in a row, and his physical strength has been greatly exhausted.If it is a normal game, when 11 players play against 11 players, Hleb has many teammates who can share his pressure. Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult for me to perform wave tackles again.If I want to defend a superstar like Hleb in an official game, I must improve in a short period of time and adapt to the defensive midfielder position faster!
However, Alostive said that my task in this European Cup qualifier is to lead the Slovenian national team to the main match of the European Cup!Regardless of whether I play as a striker or a midfielder, as long as we can defeat the opponent that should be defeated, we will be able to enter the European Cup!I don't know what the task Alostiff mentioned means, but I choose to believe, I believe she will not deceive me, and, this is my original goal, isn't it?
The simple warm-up training is over, and the next training content is group confrontation.

For the first time, I put on the yellow vest that symbolizes the main position.I used to wear the blue vest of the substitute team all the time, but this time I suddenly put on the yellow vest, and I suddenly felt heavy pressure in my heart.But when I think about everything I experienced in that "universe" last night, I feel that I have nothing to be afraid of.

Even such a strong pressure, I have been able to bear it, so what is this little psychological pressure!
Intra-team confrontation begins!

The substitute lineup, led by two former Slovenian players, is now a substitute mainly because of their advanced age.They are Milenko Asimovich and Milan Ostci.Milenko Asimovic, who was a midfielder substitute, was one of the players in the great Slovenian team that participated in the World Cup in Korea and Japan. He was the substitute of Zakhovic in that great team people.Facing such a star player, my defensive ability will face a great test!And the other one, Milan Ostci, is also well-known. He was also a member of the team that participated in the World Cup in Korea and Japan. Back then, he partnered with Zahovic in the frontcourt, and Zahović was in charge. Control the ball and pass the ball, and he is the one who makes the final blow!Moreover, in the play-offs of the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, it was these two fierce players who scored a goal each against Romania, and finally eliminated the Romanian team and entered the World Cup!

Against such a hero in the history of Slovenian football, with my half-baked defensive ability, can I really defend it?

Coach Cork blew the whistle to start the game!Milan Ostci passes the ball to Milenko Asimovic, who holds the ball and starts the attack!Asimovich's ball control is really top-notch. Two players on our main side pressed forward, but they couldn't get the ball from him!But Asimovich was forced by two people, and he really couldn't move forward, and he couldn't get the ball out. He had to turn around and pass the ball back to his teammates in the midfielder position.

I see that Acimovich's pass seems to be a little weaker, and with my speed, it seems to have a chance!So I ran towards this weaker pass, and before my teammates at the defensive midfielder were about to get the ball, I released my unique skill-wave tackle!
This tackle is full of power and ferocity!The midfielder teammates saw how powerful my tackle was, and they were taken aback, and they shrank when they caught the ball!

So, my tackle successfully broke the ball!After getting the ball first, my body continued to glide on the grass and brought down the midfielder!However, such a tackle is not a foul, because I got the ball first, the ball is mine!Bringing down the opponent is just the result of being unable to stop the car after getting the ball.After I got the ball, I immediately stood up.The position of the midfielder has been broken by me, and in front of me, there are only two central defenders and goalkeepers left!
Speed, speed!My biggest advantage is speed. Since I am already at the forefront of the team, then, if I don't kill it alone, when will it be? !
I started to break through with the ball!This is already a return to my striker function!My speed is the fastest in the team, and neither central defender can compete with my speed!They can only deal with me with two people's pincers, but I have already seen their intentions!
The direction of my dribbling was not facing the two central defenders!I rushed to a small gap on their left, so that there was only one central defender who could defend me!Their pincer shot down the air, but my breakthrough quickly broke through their line of defense!

In this way, I am directly facing the goalkeeper!
"Come on! Look at my-sea-wave-shot-door!"

The ball came out of the chamber like a cannonball, and there seemed to be some stardust surrounding the ball...

Stardust, or ocean waves?Those silver ice crystals can be said to be fragments of stars, or broken flowers of sea waves... When did my shot become so powerful? !

Could it be... the result of receiving gravity training in that "universe"? ...

"Crack!" The ball hit the net hard!In the first team training game I played with the main team of Slovenia, my first shot went through the goal of the substitute team!
