Chapter 314: Trust Me, You're the Best!
The San Mamés Stadium is one of the most terrifying devil's stadiums in La Liga. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Despite the fact that Athletic Bilbao have not been very good this season, they have an amazing record at home and a fairly high win rate, and none of the top teams in La Liga have been able to get the slightest advantage here.
Since Heynckes took charge of Athletic Bilbao, he has been firmly in the middle of La Liga, occasionally showing in cup competitions, but overall, he has been even, which is also related to the tradition of this Basque team.
Athletic Bilbao don't have the same big recruiting spree as other professional teams, this team only uses Basque players.
Such a tradition is a marvel in European professional football.
It is also because of such restrictions, coupled with the unsatisfactory youth training output of Athletic Bilbao in recent years, which has led to the overall lack of competition in the team, but under the tutelage of Heynckes, the results are still relatively stable, so the management is also very satisfied with him.
The only thing that is more dissatisfied is that this old German man speaks a bit bluntly and is easily misinterpreted by the media.
For example, before playing Atletico Madrid, he praised the style of play of the Sheets Army, and even said that he intended to learn and learn from Atletico Madrid's style of play this season, but there were some gaps in the players, which led to a lot of detours in the first half.
As a result, this made him criticized by the media and fans, and he had to come forward publicly to clarify again.
But in the game, the Basque Lions under the tutelage of the old German man were not ambiguous at all.
Strong integrity, fast-paced offense and defense, high-intensity pressing and pressing......
Such a set of play, even Atletico Madrid is quite a headache, and it is difficult to organize an effective offensive throughout the first half.
However, the advantage of the Sheets in strength allowed the team to control the situation firmly.
In the second half, Athletic Bilbao wanted to rush at the beginning, but was quickly pressed down by Atletico Madrid.
As the game progressed, the physical energy gradually depleted, and Athletic Bilbao gradually weakened from the original male lion to a sick cat.
In the 83rd minute, with a furious shot from Baptista, he scored the winning goal for Atletico Madrid.
In the end, 1-0, Atletico Madrid took away a victory from the San Mamés stadium.
It was also the first time so far this season that Athletic Bilbao have lost at home to a team higher in the table.
After losing, the old German man looked unwilling, vigorously said that it was a crime of non-war, desperately dragged Gao Han to drink, and kept talking about Gao Han being drunk by Ferguson at Old Trafford.
There is a feeling of losing on the field and getting back on the field off the field.
Gao Han was depressed, blaming the damn British tabloid for poking out this mess......
After retiring from the San Mamés Stadium, Atletico Madrid returned to Mahada Enda to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League in midweek.
In fact, from this game against Athletic Bilbao, everyone can almost confirm that Gao Han will be lined up in midweek, especially Simeone.
Playing Athletic Bilbao, the Argentine veteran played the whole game.
So, there is no doubt that Marcos Senna starts.
It's just that he can withstand Juventus' strong impact?
…………
…………
April 8, evening, Calderón Stadium.
Marcos Senna stood panting on the court, hunched over and head bowed, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his swarthy face and dripping into the turf beneath his feet.
I moisturized my lips with a dry mouth, but found that there was little effect.
I'll have to find a chance to drink a sip of water, he thought.
In this game, Atletico Madrid made a lot of preparations, and Jankulovski and Deco on the left side teamed up to completely freeze Camoranesi, the Argentinian had a terrible performance in this game, his head was already hot, and he fell into a strange circle of losing more and more with the ball, and the more he lost, the more he lost.
Therefore, Juventus began to adjust the direction of attack, focusing on the left side.
That is, the side where Marcos Senna and Roberto are located.
Nedved, Zambrotta and Davies, all three players have one thing in common, and that is the ability to run.
Before, I just watched TV and videos, and I didn't have any strong feelings, but when I actually got to the court, Marcos Senna was surprised to find that these three guys were so special that they could run.
Needless to say, Nedved was the most active area on the left and in the middle, and he ran and ran non-stop throughout the game, and he was very fast, as if he had no end of energy.
Zambrotta has been partnered with Nedved for a long time, has a very tacit understanding, frequently presses, is very bold, and he is right-footed, once he is given a chance in the frontcourt, he cuts directly inward, which is quite a threatening long-range shot.
And Davis, this small Dutchman is the most difficult, as a drag midfielder, but you never know when he will suddenly plug in, fast, live at the feet, and the most terrible thing is that he is still very clingy, as soon as he loses the ball, he will close to the counter-robbery, and there are many small movements, which is really terrible!
In addition to these three guys, Juventus also have a rather dangerous striker, Piero.
This guy is also most accustomed to moving on the left side, and what is the Piero area......
it!
Marcos Senna wiped his face vigorously, his hands were covered with sweat, and he cursed indignantly.
He really found that the further back down the Champions League, the stronger the opponents he encountered, the harder it was to play.
If the left side of Manchester United used to rely on Ryan Giggs to fight alone, then the current Juventus is a complete set of combination punches, and all kinds of means emerge in an endless stream, making people unguardable.
Looking up at the scoreboard on the sidelines, he saw that the game had only passed forty minutes, and the score was still 0-0.
I rub!
Marcos Senna cursed again.
Only forty minutes?
How does it feel like you've played the whole game?
If it goes on like this, how can the body be able to withstand it?
……
"You kid is really lucky, you are so old, you are lucky to catch the last train, meet a head coach like Gao Han, and bring you out, it is your luck. ”
"What is the most important thing about a professional footballer?"
"No, I'm telling you, it's luck, or career planning. ”
'It's all about meeting the right team and the right manager at the right time. ”
"So, you're lucky, but you're also unlucky. ”
"You're about to be twenty-seven years old, right? According to the cycle of professional footballers' sports careers, you don't have a few years left, and you are in a very awkward situation now, and if you squeeze forward, you can enter the first line in Europe, but if you slacken, it is easy to fall back to the second line, or even worse, after a year or two, you will be sent away by the team, and all you will leave for the fans is the flash of this year or two. ”
"Do you know why, as your compatriot, Gilberto Silva has been a first-line midfielder in Europe?"
"Because of his performance in the World Cup, all the media and fans remembered him!"
"And you need to prove your strength in the Champions League, in front of the best opponents!"
"You're unfortunate, you're twenty-seven years old, and there's not much time left for you, maybe even this season, and if you miss it, you won't have a second chance in your life. ”
"When a professional player walks on the football field, the most terrible enemy is often not the opponent in front of him, but the self in his heart, always shouting to give up. ”
"Think about it yourself!"
……
It was Simeone who said to him the day before the game, in the dressing room after training.
In the past few days, the Argentine has been telling him about Juventus and some of his Serie A game experiences, sometimes even analysing them in combination with the game footage.
When it came to the competition, he realized that these things really worked.
He also knows that he is very lucky, really lucky.
It's like his cousin Assunsan, who is the same age as him, the two have played together since childhood, and they were better than him at home, playing for giant teams such as Santos and Flamengo, and later being taken by Roma and brought to Serie A.
This was the envy of Marcos Senna.
He dreamed of playing in Europe, he didn't dare to imagine Serie A, he just needed to be a professional league in Europe with a name.
But fate was so different, Assunção went to Serie A, and he couldn't even play in Brazil.
Just when he began to doubt himself and began to want to give up, God opened a window for him.
Gao Han, from distant Spain, extended his hand to him.
Since then, everything has been completely different.
As Simeone said, he met a suitable team, met a manager who understood him, and so he became famous in Spain, he began to perform better and better, and he quickly surpassed his cousins and became the object of pride and envy of everyone in the family.
He did it!
But he was always calm and rational in awe of the flowers and applause, because he knew that the slightest slack would leave him.
He had tasted the pain of failure, so he couldn't accept that he had failed again.
Now, he has two choices in front of him, either to continue to climb and climb higher mountains, but the road ahead is very rough and difficult, and he has to suffer more and suffer more than before, and he may not be able to gain anything.
Either stop there, keep the form as much as possible, make more money, and in a few years, go back to the Brazilian domestic team to retire, and publish a few more autobiographies after retirement, blowing about your magical journey in Atletico Madrid, and blowing up the troubles of your former superstar teammates.
Compared to the previous road, the back is much easier.
How to choose?
It's not just a struggle for Marcos Senna, it's a choice he faces on the pitch.
He was tired and tired, he felt like he had done his best, and he wanted to take a break.
Or else, leave it at that?
As soon as this tempting idea comes to mind, it is difficult to refuse.
"Hey, Marcos, don't let up, stay vigilant, you're the best, trust me, you're the best!"
There was a sound of encouragement from the sidelines of head coach Gao Han, who looked a little anxious.
Juventus is really strong!
"Trust me, with me you will be the best midfielder in Europe!"
This is what head coach Gao Han said when he first arrived.
At first he was suspicious that the young manager was fooling him like a teenager, but then he believed it.
Now, he still believes in his manager!
No cold, no Marcos Senna!
"Ahh
Marcos Senna shouted, looked up, stepped away, and sprinted towards Nedved with the ball.
At this moment, his eyes were looking straight ahead with great determination.
He's fearless!(To be continued.) )
