Chapter 003: Substitute for the battle, Good luck!
Back in the locker room, Ding Yue sat alone in front of his cabinet, looking at his teammates walking around expressionlessly.
It was only at this time that the coaches and players in the locker room woke up, and someone who was far away just now was not clear about the situation, and after listening to the explanation of the brother who was in the know, a worried look appeared on his face, this young man, can he bear it?
Ding Yue sat quietly like that, and suddenly slammed his fist into the cabinet!
Bang bang bang!
Those who didn't look at Ding Yue were taken aback. Then almost all eyes turned to this poor, and somewhat innocent young man.
It wasn't until there was a pain in his fist that Ding Yue realized that his knee-jerk action might attract everyone's attention.
The skin on the fist broke, and tiny streaks of blood slowly seeped out of the wound. He raised his head with some uneasiness in his eyes, and his right hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and sure enough, everyone noticed.
"Uh, I'm sorry...... sorry。 ”
"Hey, bro. Are you alright?" Antonio López walked over and gave Ding Yue a hug, "It's okay, the fans are just angry about changing the game time." It's none of your business. ”
As the captain, Antonio Lopez is reasonable and has to appease Ding Yue.
Before the youngster's move to Atletico Madrid was confirmed, he had only occasionally heard about him in the news. But these days, this cheerful guy, who already speaks some basic Spanish, has gradually integrated into the team, if not love, at least not disgusted.
During the pre-match warm-up, he had already walked to the sidelines twice and begged the fans to stop booing... As captain, he has done what he can.
Ding Yue didn't answer him, patted Lopez's hand, and signaled that he was fine.
Lopez smiled and rubbed his hair condescendingly, "There must be such a process, if you want to conquer the fans, you still have to talk about the performance on the field." ”
Ding Yue nodded.
Teammates also came over, greeted, high-fived, shook hands, and expressed their support for Ding Yue in their own way.
The tears that I had endured for a long time finally came out of my eyes, and then quickly wiped them away.
Ding Yue stood up.
López patted him on the shoulder....although his eyes were still red, he knew that this young man should not be the kind of weak sissy.
……
……
The players of the main squad began to line up in a long lineup, ready to walk out of the players' tunnel, in Calderón, for the fans, for the club, for themselves, to fight!
Although Courtois is a newcomer, he just fills the position left by De Gea's departure, which makes Ding Yue a little envious.
The back four are No. 2 Silvio, No. 21 Peria, No. 18 Domingos and No. 6 Felipe.
The forward knife is No. 7 Adrian, who is the same age as Ding Yue.
No. 14 Gabi, No. 5 Thiago and No. 4 Mario Suare were in the middle of the grind and dispatch, while No. 8 Eduardo Salvio and No. 10 Reyes flew on both wings.
Although Atletico Madrid is by far the most liquid club in Europe in this transfer window, no one expected Manzano to remain so conservative. Home 451?
The home fans are a little overwhelmed. Although the names of the players bought by their home team in the transfer market this summer are not too high, they are very targeted, and they are also a rare short-circuit recruitment work that has not been done in recent years.
The management finally got the hang of bringing in Portugal international Silvio from Braga, and since Cetaridis Atletico finally have a quality right wing-back. Buying back Academy midfielder Gabi from Zaragoza, who was the first contributor to Zaragoza's relegation last season, scored 10 goals and became the team's captain and playmaker.
The above is a small expenditure, and the heavyweight transfer is to make Europe tremble, first quietly signed the Turkish international Alda Turan, which is just a small test, and a few days later from Porto for 45 million euros to bring in Falcao, who shined in the Europa League last season, although the value is a bit too high, but this is the best effort to make up for the vacancy left by Aguero's departure.
Of course, Atletico Madrid is not a typical person who is stupid and has a lot of money, the team has introduced five players from the central axis from goalkeeper to striker through loan and free transfer, from Chelsea on loan from the young Belgian goalkeeper Courtois, the best defender in the Brazilian league, Miranda, Thiago who has been on loan for a year and a half, officially joined Atletico Madrid after terminating his contract with Juventus, and the forward line is waiting for Adrian after a long legal wait, in addition to the return of Asenjo and Salvio are young potential players.
That's it, although Falco can't play... It's not as good as the first game at home, facing Osasuna, and don't dare to play double strikers. Although you said that these two wingers are pulled up, plus Adrian is a three-striker... But how many games have Atletico played 433
Did Manzano ever fight like that?
However, for the sake of playing okay in the friendly match, the fans did not have too many opinions.
With the referee's whistle, the first half of the game began.
Only in the third minute, home player Eduardo Salvio headed in a cross from left wing-back Felipe in the penalty area, but the ball went high over the top right corner. A sigh echoed throughout the stadium. However, the game has just begun, and according to this situation, the bottom three goals are guaranteed!
Atletico Madrid fans are still optimistic.
In the eighth minute, Suarez tried to shoot with his right foot from outside the box, but the ball was again high in the top right corner.
Manzano sat in the chair of the coach's bench with a calm expression.
In the 11th minute, Thiago tried to shoot with his right foot from outside the box, but the ball went just wide of the left goal.
After that, Osasuna withstood Atletico Madrid's three-board axe and began to organize some attacks. In the twentieth minute, Neconan received a pass from Beltran outside the penalty area and shot with his left foot! Courtois made a sideways pave! The ball flew off the line! Beautiful save!
The fans on the bench and in the stands applauded the beautiful save from the new youngster.
"It's awesome! I didn't see it!" Juanfran sat next to Ding Yue and couldn't help but exclaim, this ball is not easy to save.
"Courtois is very strong, everyone will see his performance this season!" Ding Yue told the truth, and then said silently in his heart, you are also very powerful, when the boss Simeone comes, your spring will come.
Juan Fran, who looks a little vicissitudes on the outside, doesn't understand the little Jiujiu in Ding Yue's heart, who transferred to Atletico Madrid in the winter window last year, was actually pressed on the bench by Manzano in the first game of the season, which made him quite unhappy. Is Silvio really better than himself, Juanfran doesn't think so.
After a moment, he still suppressed the resentment in his heart, propped his cheek with one hand, and shrugged his head like a defeated attack.
Shortly after, Atletico Madrid took over the game again and again had a couple of good chances in a row. Salvio had a chance in the 27th minute, but the young man... Opted for a powerful shot instead of a volley, and the ball hit the opposing goalkeeper directly in the chest.
Next, although Atletico still laid siege to the opponent's goal, they never got a better chance than Salvio's one-on-one shot.
00 score, the end of the first half.
The fans are not dissatisfied, Atletico Madrid's attack looks extremely sharp at least, this opportunity is out, this shot is ... With a little bit of luck, the second half was fine. I often shoot on the field, how can I not score.
Back in the dressing room, Manzano did not make major adjustments, and it was clear that although he did not score, he was quite satisfied with his attacking staff, at least, he had not yet thought of making substitutions.
Turan, Ding Yue, Juanfran, and Assunção all walked out of the locker room with some disappointed expressions.
……
……
Ten minutes before the start of the second half, it looked like a replica of the first half.
But Manzano slowly couldn't sit still.
The offense looks ferocious, but the score is still 00!
Football is not boxing, and it is not won by counting!
In the 55th minute, Eduardo Salvio fired a right-footed shot from outside the penalty area and hit the right post of the goalpost! Salvio, who couldn't believe all this, was quickly replaced by Manzano, who was already anxious.
The fans applauded the substitution, which was an encouragement to the performance of the youngster Salvio and a welcome to Turan.
Turan quickly showed his worth when he came on and drove long down the middle to dribble to Reyes on the left, whose shot from outside the box grazed the right-hand post.
Osasuna also responded, with Rama replacing Dydimo and continuing to keep the tackles at the back.
After Ding Yue was called up by Manzano in the 70th minute to warm up, he was called back to the bench. Looking at the old man who was starting to get a little anxious, Ding Yue had a very complicated smile on his face, if he didn't fight for his life at this time, when would he stay?
Atletico, whose physical strength was gradually declining, was unable to organize the attack that began in the first and second halves after the young Adrian wasted a single knife again in the following game.
The fans were full of passion from the beginning, to silent prayers later....It's been eighty-five minutes, even if... Score a goal. You won't besiege the whole game, just take a point, right?
Manzano had already made a second substitution at 77 minutes, with Juanfran coming on for Thiago.
At this time, he looked back, and the attacking player on the bench....was the only Chinese left.
Shaking his head, he beckoned again, and after a pause of two seconds, Manzano looked at the bewildered crowd on the bench and shouted, "Ing!
Ding Yue was shocked. Jumping up from his chair, he took three steps and two steps and rushed towards Manzano.
"Hey, Dad, is Ding Yue coming out!"
Every time Ding Yue left the bench, Feng Yuzhi's heart was touched.
Ding Ming took a closer look, and only then did he dare to be sure that the person who was standing beside the head coach and listening to the teachings was his son.
"That's right, it's Ah Yue! The coach seems to be sending him on the field!" Ding Ming was very excited! After waiting for almost ninety minutes, wasn't he just looking forward to this moment.
"It's over, and then call someone up. Toss!" Feng Yuzhi doesn't care so much, she dislikes that the coach has too little time for her son.
Dead ball, the fourth official on the sidelines held up a substitution sign.
On the 22nd, down on the 10th!
The crowd was amazed.
From the moment Ding Yue stood on the side of the court to sort out his jersey and pants, the new hatred and old hatred were counted together, coupled with the resentment that the game could not break the deadlock, and the boos warmed up before the game even louder.
"This, this! these people ......" Feng Yuzhi's words were incomplete.
Ding Ming had no choice but to hug his wife tightly, for fear that she would do something stupid.
The boos did not stop this substitution, Reyes saw the number on the sign, and immediately ran over, the game time was running out, and the quick completion of the substitution allowed his team to have more time to attack.
Near the halfway, the two hugged each other, Reyes patted Ding Yue's shoulder and said in his ear: "oodluck!"
