11. When you are young, you must dare to fight

Leo went back to the sidelines to make up some water while his teammates were celebrating the goal, Gonzalez whispered in his ear about the technical and tactical arrangements, Leo listened silently, and nodded lightly when asked. After a short break, we got back on the pitch and the game went on at half-time.

Mendoza said: "With only 10 minutes left in the first half, Granada was not conservative in their 1-0 lead, and they still pressed all over the board when attacking. Fernandez seems to have moved a little bit forward, he was supposed to be in the midfield position, but now he is closer to the penalty area, what do you think, Mr. Belleron? ”

"Yes, he has been around the box for the last ten minutes or so, and he is almost no longer involved in the return defense, and Granada is now closer to 442 in formation, with Fernandez and Cordoba forming a double striker."

Mendoza laughed: "It's interesting, isn't it, there are not many strikers wearing the number 5 shirt, Fernandes has been reborn since he left his father's wings, and this game he was mediocre in the midfield position, Zizou's son against Barcelona last week was like a dream, this game disappeared without a trace, he has now pushed his position forward to the front line, I am looking forward to what different surprises he will bring us next." ”

Belleron laughed and joked with him: "It seems that you don't worry about the fans' messages anymore. ”

Mendoza suddenly exclaimed: "Oh ~ Granada midfielder Rosina made a mistake, he lost the ball, now it is Deportivo La Coruna's counterattack, the ball was sent to the front of Granada by a big foot, this pass is of high quality, Lucas takes the ball, his start is very fast, Granada's players did not come to rush back to defend in time, now it is 2 to 4, a great opportunity to rewrite the score, teammates are raising their hands to signal Lucas to pass, but he did not do so, he chose to hit the goal directly, the angle is very tricky, the goalkeeper is out of reach，goal！ The ball is in! ”

Belleron's voice was full of smiles: "Lucas handled the ball very well, the opponent was too late to defend, the only two defenders had already blocked the passing route, the unexpected shot was obviously a wise decision, this shot went straight to the dead corner, very beautiful." ”

"The first half of the game is over immediately, and now the score is 1-1, and the two sides are back in the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion. Granada's pre-match youngster Fernandes was not a surprise in the 45 minutes other than two good quality passes, both of which were missed due to team-mates, and after a short break, we looked forward to the second half. ”

On the way back to the locker room, Rosina, who looked a little guilty because of his mistakes, was very depressed and walked at the back of the team with his head down. Leo waited for a moment, walked side by side with him, reached out and gently patted his teammate's shoulder twice, and whispered: "It doesn't matter, we still have the second half, and we have a good time." ”

He himself was depressed enough in the first half, and he didn't forget to comfort his teammates. Rosina was also a little surprised, this 'second generation star' is usually known in the team for cherishing words like gold, except for Marchis, he rarely takes the initiative to talk to the rest of the team. Although the teammates did not complain, the hard-won advantage did not last long, and they were equalized by the opponent, and everyone was somewhat disappointed and anxious.

But at this time, it was Leo who stood up, and just one sentence made him inexplicably settle down. In the last game against Barcelona, it was this young man who turned the tide for the team, and when he was 2-0 down, he scored three goals in a row and finally achieved a reversal. And today, his sentence 'a qiē is too late' sounds extremely reassuring.

In the locker room, Leo still habitually sat in the corner, his head bowed and meaninglessly pinching the kettle in his hand, and in his ears was Gonzalez's voice emphasizing technique and tactics. When he called himself, he inadvertently looked up, and just in time to make eye contact with Córdoba sitting on the other side, he felt a hint of provocation in the other party's eyes.

"Leo had a good first half, and in the second half, with a reasonable distribution of physical energy, the running without the ball could be a little more positive."

Leo nodded, "Understood." ”

He withdrew his gaze and continued to land on the empty kettle in his hand. He had no intention of competing with his teammates, who should be comrades on the same side rather than opponents. This is his second game at Granada and he will be here for at least a full season. His goal is much more than just to make Granada's relegation a success, it takes the whole team to work together, and the tensions in the dressing room are undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block. And the best way to resolve the conflict and eliminate the suspicion should be on the court, with absolute strength to conquer his teammates, although he actually does not quite understand where the contradiction between them is.

It is still the passionate voice of Mendoza, the football commentator of the sports channel of Spanish national television: "Welcome back, this is the seventh round of La Liga, Granada hosts Deportivo La Coruna, the first half of the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw, let's watch the second half of the game." ”

Soon after the break, Leo observed a change in Deportivo LaCoruna's tactics, no longer taking the ball as they did in the first half and then moving forward to move from defense to attack as quickly as possible. And now it's about possession and short passing. If there is no good opportunity for the midfielder to get the ball, he will pass it back to the backcourt to control the rhythm and relaunch the attack. Ordinary passes can not only penetrate the opponent's defense to find opportunities, but also maximize the opponent's physical energy.

Granada's possession was noticeably reduced and Deportivo looked to be working.

"It was Deportivo La Coruna's corner, the ball came out, hit a back point, but there was no teammate on his side, he was cleared by Granada's back, Fernandez, who was standing near the arc, got the ball, turned and accelerated, his start speed was simply amazing, and the two Deportivo players who were still following him just now were far behind him in the blink of an eye. He had already taken the ball to Deportivo La Coruna's front, and the two defenders came to press him, and now it was a one-two, and Fernandez showed no intention of slowing down, still dribbling with the ball. ”

Deportivo La Coruna's players were a little hesitant, Leo was so fast that he could run with the ball as fast as he could without the ball. Either fight to get injured or eat cards to steal, or cling to him for opportunities, or force into the corner.

But Fernandez didn't give them a chance to think, he just rushed through the two men with the ball, and the two saw only a red and white shadow flash, instinctively sideways and out of the way, and in an unbelievable way, he succeeded.

Mendoza's voice was steep and high-pitched: "Oh my God! Fernández, Fernández! His speed is like a rocket...... Kick the door! gooooooooooooooal！ The goal was so beautiful, Fernandez went from getting the ball, to running long distances, to passing shots, and the whole process in one go, without giving Deportivo half a respite! ”

He was a little overexcited, and he spoke at an astonishing speed, and Belleron tried to speak several times, but he didn't even have a chance to interject.

The Camenez Stadium fell into a frenzy because of this goal, the fans excitedly chanted Leo's name while waving the scarf in their hands, the stands were a sea of red and white one after another, Leo stood on the sidelines and accepted the congratulations from the fans with his teammates, while thinking about the bet with Ronaldo in his heart, inviting him to his brother's birthday party at home, thinking about the expression of Little Theo, Leo felt that he was full of fighting spirit.

Mendoza finally calmed down, and Belleron said: "Fernandez is really a genius born for football, the goal just now, the courage to dare to fight against the defenders without slowing down when dribbling the ball at high speed, is really commendable." After all, if he collided hard, someone would inevitably be injured at such a speed, but he was not afraid. The quality of the shot was also very high, and goalkeeper Lukes had actually touched the ball, but the speed was too fast and the power was too great for him to recover. ”

This goal not only cheered all the Granada fans in front of the stadium and in front of the TV, but also exploded at a well-known football forum:

"Which fool just said that our Leo ball is like shit, and he will only rely on his face to tell me loudly, do you have a painful face?"

"All I care about is whether his hair will fall out like his dad in the future?"

"Even if his hair falls out, I'll fan him with that face."

"If this ball collides with a Deportivo defender, it must be a serious injury, what is it like that? I don't want to think about the personal safety of the opposing players. ”

"Upstairs is deliberately dark for the sake of being dark, isn't that called competitive sportsmanship? Wouldn't he have been hurt himself? My husband is young, daring and dedicated! ”

“……”

The game was still in full swing and Deportivo were desperate to equalise. Their opponents in the first few rounds of the league are not strong teams, with three wins, two draws and one defeat with 11 points, which looks very gratifying, but in the next few rounds of the league against Granada, they will have to challenge the traditional powerhouses such as Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid. All of them are hard bones, where is there a team like Granada with weak overall strength to gnaw? If they don't get all three points, they will have a tough game going forward.
