Chapter 099: Applause!(6/9 for the Wandering Layman Alliance)
Juan Carlos had despair on his face, and he subconsciously glanced at the sidelines.
After yesterday's events, he has become a lot more sensible and knows that now is his last chance at Sporting Gijón.
In training, in this match, Carlos is giving his all and he wants to show everyone what he is capable of and prove to Leon that he is a footballer.
Before Leon's adjustment just now, everything was going for the better.
He did a good job on the defensive end, making it difficult for striker Antonio Fernandez Abarez to get any decent chances on the main side.
However, with this adjustment of the coach, everything has changed.
Carlos was pinned down in the aerial scramble, and Javier Blanco, a player who was not as tall as him, actually scored with a beautiful lion header over his head.
This was a big blow to Carlos.
This child is now in pain inside.
In fact, Carlos was terminated by Getafe, and there is a story behind this.
One of the key factors was his poor performance in heading ability, which was a fundamental reason for Getafe youth manager Gonzalo to drop him and the club to terminate his contract.
And the fiasco of Real Madrid, which lost to Leon, can only be said to be a fuse that prompted Getafe and Carlos to terminate their contracts.
Leon was not clear on this, and independent scout Mr. Tomires did not 'survey' on this point.
Carlos is well aware of his situation, he knows where his shortcomings are, and the kid has been training on headers in the hope of improving.
However, it is clear that the improvement of heading skills does not happen overnight. Progress can be described as extremely slow.
In such a situation, Leon gave him the opportunity to play in Gijón, and Carlos said to himself that he must cherish this opportunity and perform well!
For his shortcomings, it is a thorn in his heart, he secretly vowed to continue to train headers, to improve himself, but also hope that this shortcoming is discovered by the coach as late as possible, in this way, he can leave a good impression on the coach with his performance, then even if this shortcoming is discovered, the coach should also see his other advantages, continue to give him the opportunity to stay in the team to play.
Carlos never thought that Leon's eyesight was so powerful, and after he joined Sporting Gijón, the team's first intra-team match, he found his and this shortcoming.
If Carlos didn't think that Li Ang had anything before, now, he really realized that this Chinese coach is very powerful and has such a vicious vision!
To have such a high-level coach is something that players should be happy about.
However, at this moment, Carlos was not happy, and Carlos was a little desperate and painful at this time.
His biggest hope now is that the coach will not give up on him and can continue to give him a chance!
***********
Leon shook his head, he was also amused by what he had just thought, he actually doubted the data, he actually wanted to doubt it, to test Carlos's heading ability.
The data is the most real!
Leon's shaking of his head was seen by Carlos, and his heart began to sink: Is he going to be given up again?!
He is unwilling!
It was as if he had a knife cutting flesh in his heart!
Because he knew that this chance could be said to be his last chance to continue his football path, and if Leon gave up on him, it was really impossible for him to continue playing.
Carlos was ready to be called to the sidelines by the coach alone.
However, Leon did not do so.
Leon waved his hand to assistant coach Fernandez and signaled that the 'test' of Carlos' header ability was over. The team continued the training that was previously scheduled, focusing on ground attack.
Fernandez nodded and adjusted the tactical arrangement of the main side.
Pale glanced at Leon, he didn't say anything, however, he was also shaking his head in his heart, this Juan Carlos, his physical fitness is so good, and his performance in the confrontation just now can be said to be quite good, but the shortcomings of the header are too obvious, it's a pity!
A centre-back with a terrible header is a fatal shortcoming.
Whether it is Fernandez or Parle, looking at Carlos at this time, they all feel pity, with a look of pity, this kid, what a good physical fitness, the prediction and card position are also very good, it's just that the header ...... It's a pity!
They have changed from being very optimistic about Carlos' career to shaking their heads in denial.
Leon is still standing on the sidelines, observing the players' performance in the game.
He didn't say anything, but he just stood on the sidelines and put a lot of pressure on all the players and they were more positive about training and games. The coach's vision is too vicious!
Resuming the previous main coordination and ground offensive routine, Carlos's performance on the defensive end returned to his previous performance, he was able to jam the position well, complete the interception in advance, and also use his body well to confront the opposing offensive players, interfering with the opponent's ball and attack.
Leon watched all this with interest, and he was surprised.
He was surprised by Carlos's performance now, it was impossible for this kid not to know that his header was 'exposed' just now, and it was impossible not to know what it meant to him.
However, at this moment, Carlos's attitude in training has not been affected in any way, to be precise, he is more serious and more desperate.
It can be said that every ball must be fought for!
Is this an attitude and performance to fight for the last chance?!
Leon looked at the child.
It's worthy of [willpower (determination)] to get eighty-three players!
Obviously, Leon did not shout to stop the game, nor did he 'call' Carlos alone, which gave the kid the last hope, he gritted his teeth, discharged the unquiet emotions in his heart, and played as well as he could!
Leon nodded, to be honest, he was really satisfied to see such Carlos and such a child with a tough personality.
The physical fitness is excellent.
【Spiritual Attributes】All over the place!
Such an excellent basic condition!
The [Header] attribute is so bad!
Is that the reason to give up on this person?!
No!
Leon resolutely said no, whether it was Carlos's insistence on letting him integrate in such a situation, just Carlos's excellent basic conditions, he was reluctant to give up such a young man!
Isn't it just that the [header] ability is terrible?!
Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in this evil!
He's going to find a way out for this kid!
Even in the face of difficulties, you must fight your way out!
Just because this kid hasn't given up.
He, as a coach, naturally can't give up his players easily.
At this point, on the pitch, Dias burst forward with the ball and was ruined by a beautiful tackle from Carlos.
Leon stood on the sidelines and applauded.
This applause on the side of the training ground seemed so abrupt.
Carlos, who had finished the tackle, got up, turned his head to look, and was stunned to see this scene.
The coach is clapping!
Are you applauding your performance?
Is it?!
Then he saw that Leon seemed to know what he was thinking, and Leon looked over and gave him a slight thumbs up.
The child's eyes suddenly became sour......
His despair and fear seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness!
He gritted his teeth and continued to prepare to defend against the opponent's attack!
As long as they haven't been driven away!
Just hold on!
Hang on!
Persistence is hope!
Come on, Carlos!
Come on!
