Chapter 104: The Power of the Junior General

Halftime is a good time to sort out the shortcomings of the first half of the game, and also to sort out the current situation a little.

For now, at least, Juan's tactics were successful, but he didn't seem to be very happy himself, as everyone could see when he entered the locker room.

'Everyone did a good job in the first half, but I would say that we had 45 minutes left and a one-goal lead was not safe, so in the second half we had to change that a little bit......

Juan is actually still a little worried now, after all, in the last game, Gago, Redondo, and Aimar were all kicked lightly, although it seems that there is no big problem, but at least as far as Juan knows personally, Redondo is a person who can tolerate pain very well and is easy to pretend that nothing happened.

-- Or is it that these Argentines are a little biased towards this?

Five minutes into the second half, Athletic Bilbao tried to take control of the game, with Suseta being more active than in the first half, frequently linking up with his team-mates on the left flank, and at one point they almost succeeded.

Suseta and his team-mates made a one-two on the flank, then cut into the box, and Thiago Silva, who came up to defend him, slipped on his feet when facing Suseta and suddenly fell!

"Oh......" The audience let out a cry of surprise, and in contrast, there was an exclamation from the away coach's box, and almost everyone stood up, holding their heads for fear of seeing a scene they didn't expect!

Of course, Suseta will not let go of such a good opportunity, he subconsciously shoots high!

"Ahh............h

When Riquelme fell, there was only one Diego López in front of him, and behind him was a big goal!

Correct! Whereas!

With this ball, he rushed directly to the sky......

Not to mention this sudden situation, Suseta didn't expect it, everyone exhaled heavily, whether they were relaxed or unwilling was only known to themselves.

When Alan finally relaxed his tense nerves and sat down with a sigh of relief, he was horrified to find that his little coach was sitting in his place in all directions, still serious ......

Snacking.

"That...... Juan, aren't you nervous? ”

Hearing Allen's question, Juan turned his head to look at him and smiled: "I'm nervous, but I can't help them kick, so I can only sit here and eat snacks nervously." ”

"......" Alan was speechless.

Diego López was shocked at this moment, he subconsciously looked back at the goal, then at his friends, patted his chest with wide eyes, and for a moment looked like he was scared and cute......

Juan Sorin was around, seeing him go up and pat him on the head to comfort him, the ball didn't go in, otherwise how sad would the child be?

The Athletic Bilbao coach looked even more sorry than their captain, he got up from his seat, saw that the ball had not gone in, waved his hand violently, and reluctantly sat back in the dugout.

"Isn't our luck bad today?"

He complained as he sighed and looked at the situation on the field.

On the pitch today, the main person responsible for organizing the attack is Redondo, he always looks very calm when he carries the ball, and he is very comfortable with everyone, but how long can he be on the pitch like this?

As he ran, Redondo caught a glimpse of Gago who was also running wildly on the side, and for a moment his thoughts returned, and he remembered what they had said when they had talked to Juan alone that day.

"Fernando, what do you think of that Fernando?"

When this sentence was asked, Juan's face was still mostly ridiculous, after all, Romario and Redondo had already made a lot of noise in the team, and everyone thought that Redondo should be more biased towards Messi - after all, although Messi has his own height limit, but in terms of talent alone, he is definitely a big step ahead of many people.

However, Juan can see that Redondo himself is more interested in Gago, firstly because this kid plays in a similar style to him, and secondly because he is in the same position, Redondo thinks that at least this can better cultivate a good player.

"It's good, it's hard work, it's talent...... However, it is a big organizational weakness. Redondo still had a headache when he said this, "He doesn't seem to be very good at organizing defense and attacking, let alone switching between attack and defense, so he can't be called a good defender." ”

"If that's the case, let's help him, right?" Juan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

And looking at his appearance, Lei Dong was more surprised, and rubbed his temples helplessly: "I understand." ”

Now on the court, beside him, Gago, is running desperately, although he doesn't know what he will do later, but it is clear that at least in terms of hard work and hard work, he will definitely not lose to anyone!

Suseta saw Redondo swing the ball to the right, thinking that he was about to break through, and quickly shifted his center of gravity, the opponent he had been watching did run that way, but at the same time he also passed the ball to Gago with a coquettish heel pass.

When Gago received the ball, the whole person was confused, and it stands to reason that he should pass the ball back to Redondo at this time, but now that Redondo is entangled with him, what should he do?

Gago, who received the ball, didn't know what he should do next, and when he saw that Redondo had someone there, he wanted to give the ball to Belleron. But as soon as he turned his head, Belleron also had people from the other side by his side, so he could only dispel this thought. Just when he was a little overwhelmed. The opposing defender rushed up!

There was no suspense, Fernando was stunned and lost the ball at his feet......

"Anti-robbery! Pretty! Athletic Bilbao's steal gave the team a chance to counterattack! Deportivo La Coruna has just pressed on all fronts, and it has not yet had time to return to defense, chance!! ”

When Deportivo saw that it was Redondo who had the ball, they all pressed it with confidence and boldness, especially on the two wings, like prolapsed mustangs......

However, what they didn't expect was that Redondo did not pass the ball to Riquelme or Belleron, but to Gago, who is rarely involved in the team's offensive tasks!

At this time, the players on both sides of Deportivo La Coruna are running back desperately, which is even more desperate than the usual sprint training in the team!

Gago's eyes flashed, and then his feet were empty.

The ball was lost???

Gago didn't react at all, one of his subconscious actions was to quickly turn around, and then - rushed towards the opposing player! His physical condition is not bad, and he can completely rely on his physique to suppress the opponent, which is the only thing that Redondo is more satisfied with him at present, and now the players in Bilbao can't run away, and they can't pass the ball, and they can't complain in their hearts.

Finding the right opportunity, Gago was a collision with the opposing player, the opposing player's body lost balance, the pace of his feet became chaotic, and the football was subconsciously knocked out, this time Riquelme came up in time to catch the football, and the ball returned to the feet of Deportivo La Coruna.

Juan, who saw this scene in the coach's seat, shook his head, put down the snack bag in his hand and wiped his fingers clean, and then took out a notebook and pen.

…… I don't know whose training is being strengthened, but I still have to be silent for a while: "Whose training is this going to strengthen?" ”

Juan closed the notebook and smiled at the people around him: "Do you need to say this?" The whole team, of course. ”

"The whole team?" Alan was dumbfounded, he thought it was just a certain player who needed extra training!

"I'm not so cruel." Juan's face was calm with a capital letter, and Alan didn't know why he vaguely felt a little stomach ache.

Riquelme passed the ball to Redondo, who retreated to pick it up.

This time, the Argentine did not pass the ball to his own compatriots, but directly to David Silva, who was one of the worst in the team in terms of impact resistance, and soon he could not turn around under the pressure of the opposing defenders, so he had to distribute the ball to Portillo on the wing.

Portillo was originally ready to accept the pressure when receiving the ball, but as expected, he didn't even have time to get up on the other side, he could only choose to pass the ball to the inserted Belleron, the Spaniard just received the ball, and the opposite person began to squeeze him again.

Belleron had no choice, and directly subconsciously gave the ball to Redondo, and Redondo was still entangled with Suseta at this time, seeing the ball rolling towards him, the Argentine took a direct step back and cleverly leaked the ball -

After a big circle outside, the football was back at the feet of Fernando Gago.

Someone seemed to have pressed the replay button on the field, Suseta pressed again, Gago lost the ball, and then he tried to counter the ball......

"Well, do I don't understand fashion now?" Frank blinked, feeling a little outdated, "This back-and-forth tactic is more popular now?" ”

He looked inquiringly at his tactical encyclopedia partner, but Dean couldn't seem to understand: "What kind of situation is this, Deportivo wants to train Gago as the core of his organization?" ”

At this time, the person who holds the ball, whether it is any more experienced person in the team, the team has already attacked the opponent's penalty area, where is the use of doing this kind of unskilled entanglement with the opponent in the midfield?

People like Frank who don't have much research on tactics can see that Redondo is deliberately conceding the ball, and his object of conceding the ball is Gago, but this Argentine guy doesn't seem to have reacted yet, and he has lost all kinds of leaks, which makes everyone worry about it.

…… Brother, can you eat the cake with peace of mind, Brother Dong is so old, it's very tiring to run after you all over the field!

Sitting on the edge of the court, Alan naturally felt some changes, and he subconsciously frowned and looked at people: "This is what you mean?" ”

Juan raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "Do you think I can change that big guy's mind?" ”

"...... that?"

"Unless, it's because he already has that intention, and then I push a little bit and give a step, and he will push the boat down the river." Juan smiled, "Don't look at Fernando like this, he is actually a very understanding person." ”

“…… Which Fernando? ”

In the face of everyone's ghostly gaze, Juan said calmly: "It's both." ”

Redondo's willingness to teach his skills was certainly something to be happy about, but what did he think in his own heart?

Juan propped his chin and followed the figure of number 5 running on the court.

On the pitch, Redondo has quickly drawn up a series of plans, such as how to adapt Fernando Gago to his current position, believing that anyone will have amazing potential as soon as the time comes.

Passing and discoling, and deliberately splitting the ball, he forced Gago to think about where the ball was going and what to do - not to cross and return, but to really organize a decent attack.

Gago received the ball again, and he saw Suseta pounce on him, reflexively trying to pass the ball away.

"Gago!"

The Argentine subconsciously looked back and saw that his seniors were waving at him: "Forward!" ”

"What?"

"Onward! Run, Gago, rush forward!! ”

Gago was stunned, only then did he know that he was shouting this sentence to himself, he ran forward desperately with the ball, and passed by the oncoming people, and at the same time, the ball that had disappeared under his feet in a split second just now miraculously returned-

Two over one!

Gago's face was flushed with excitement, the players of Athletic Bilbao obviously never expected that Gago, a defensive midfielder, would take the ball to the attack, even Suseta did not react, he looked at Gago in a half-sideways posture looking back at the moon, and even forgot to return to the defense at the first time.

Gago looked around him and was just about to distribute the ball to the right people, Redondo had already run up from behind and waved at him: "Here! ”

The Argentine child passed the ball very skillfully, and Redondo shouted again: "Forward!" ”

Deportivo La Coruna continued to move forward across the line, and the Athletic Bilbao players finally reacted.

Redondo is planning to use the cooperation of two people in the middle to break through!

Generally speaking, this person is either Aimar, or Riquelme, or there is also a Belleron, how can it not be Gago's turn...... However, today seemed to be the evil door, and Redondo passed the ball to Gago.

I don't know what they think, but how could it be that Rakko got his wish?

Athletic Bilbao's players began to focus on Gago's running path, with his wings on the lookout, while the two centre-backs focused on Fernando Gago who suddenly moved forward to the detriment.

At this moment, Recedo shook a shot and suddenly pushed a direct pass in the middle!

"Ahh!!hh Cunning!!! I don't bring such!! Frank covered his face and exclaimed, "I just learned today that Redondo is such a bad character!" Actually walking the whole back line of Bilbao is playing! ”

"Frank, you say it, let's put the smile on our faces, lest people think we are insane......" Dean was a little helpless, "but obviously, no one expected Redondo to come to this stubble, and Porti, who received the ball, was not offside!" A single knife at a time!! ”

There was a deafening boo from the stadium in the hope of using this opportunity to distract Portillo, but is the Spaniard the kind of character that can be easily disturbed?

His feet were steady, the expression on his face was calm, and there was not even a trace of swaying in his eyes.

Until the ball hit the front corner of the goal, it bounced directly into the net, and the white net stirred up a wave, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be played with by someone, and the water rippled and turned into a joyful smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Goooooal！！ Portillo!! Redondo's pass was as subtle as ever, it even looked a little scary......" Dean sighed a little, and the song written for Redondo on the pitch sounded like a poem.

Seeing that the team was being stabbed in the heart by the opponent from the middle, the coach of Athletic Bilbao finally couldn't sit still, he slammed up from his position, and then stepped to stand near the touchline - even so, the team's table did not improve, and Deportivo Lega's pressing attack and defense were completely restrained Bilbao's tactics.

Redondo is using his experience to slowly lead Gago around the court, and the best way to learn in the world is practice, so when Gago is running on the court, he will take the time to stare at Redondo for a while.

His passing, his running, his interceptions, his tackles......

Gago's hunger for knowledge was soaked.

"The little one did a good job." Alan sighed, "When I came to the club, I was actually still a very immature child, but my heart was higher than the sky, right? ”

"Yes." Juan also sighed a little, two months is enough for the other party to make a big change, "When he first came, he was only polite to Redondo, Riquelme, Aimar and others, and was very cold to others...... But now it's slowly getting better, and I don't know what's going on. ”

Alan opened his mouth, there was something hard to say, in fact, he knew what was going on, and thanks to Deportivo La Coruna's "reasonable brawl on the court" specialty, after three or two rounds of competition, a few children were not convinced by anyone, and the result has been fighting until now, although there is still a competitive heart, but the arrogance and feeling that they are superior or something, it is completely gone.

Deportivo La Coruna is a team with a strong emphasis on the wings, but in today's game, the members of the coaching staff seemed to see a possibility - attacking in the middle.

But if Gago can grow quickly, the middle lane will also become an important firepower.

Athletic Bilbao are a team that are very good at self-regulation, and after this goal, they quickly began to adapt to the formation, and soon Deportivo La Coruna was caught off guard by a corner.

While defending the corner, Gago's eyes unconsciously drifted to Redondo's body.

Juan asks him to learn Redondo's way of playing and Redondo's approach to football...... To be honest, he didn't expect that ball just now.

Redondo didn't pass the ball to himself, but to Bellerón, and to be honest he didn't expect it...... Because he didn't see where Beleron was at all, he was still facing his captain's man.

Redondo was facing away from the direction of Belleron, how did he know that the people of Belleron were there?

And that long pass in the first half...... It's so accurate!

He seemed to know in advance that there was an opponent in that place, and he knew in advance that Portillo would run up. He is as if he is meticulous and all-encompassing, which makes people feel awe.

Just as he was coming to his senses, a corner had already been taken, and Redondo was not too comfortable with Thiago Silva as a defender, as the Argentine watched him beat Susetta's corner from two men apart.

…… Hit at the feet of the Athletic Bilbao players.

The Bilbao player subconsciously looked at the situation after receiving the ball, Redondo and Gobeeron were all in the penalty area in front of him, no one came up to intercept him, and he could finally handle the ball comfortably...... Fart!!

What a god's defense!! It's all here, he can't even see the goal!!

Fortunately, out of the corner of his eye, he saw their captain Suseta waving, and he hurriedly launched a through ball to deliver the football to the captain's feet.

"Athletic Bilbao's counterattack! It's very fast! ”

The players ran back and forth desperately, but veterans like Redondo. It's really powerless......

'That one goal from Deportivo La Coruna just now boosted the morale of the players, so now a corner kick almost made them all rush forward...... As a result, Deportivo now makes the Athletic Bilbao players feel that they are closer to scoring a goal. ”

"Now there are a lot of Deportivo players in the second half besides Diego López! Athletic Bilbao counter-attacked very quickly and they had a great chance...... Don't miss out! ”

Of course, not to be missed, the expression on Frank's face was not like that, Dean subconsciously looked back at his partner, and was almost frightened to faint by the "damn it" on his face.

Gago chased after Suseta at full speed, risking a red card and scooping away from behind.

Suseta with the ball seems to have eyes in the back of her head, adds the ball forward, then jumps up just in time to dodge Gago's flying tackle and keep going!

Everyone in the stands, whether it was a Deportivo fan or a Athletic Bilbao fan, got up from their seats.

What will happen to this ball?

Will it be another repression for Deportivo La Coruna, or a counterattack for Athletic Bilbao?

"Suseta broke through Gago! Now the man standing in his way is Thiago Silva! ”

Thiago looked up and saw Suseta who was dribbling towards him, and he didn't look overwhelmed or flustered...... Or rather, there was simply no time for him to do such a thing, and Suseta was as fast as a gust of wind.

Foul on the foot? Still is......

Suseta wasn't stupid enough to give Thiago Silva time to do a multiple-choice question, so he just made a sharp stop and turn, making Thiago think he was trying to fake and get past him...... Thiago Silva lowered his centre of gravity.

Suseta was very satisfied to see this scene, after all, Brazilians are so easy to deceive! He was the most depressed of the game, with Athletic Bilbao's midfield completely limited by Deportivo La Coruna's destructive style of play and unable to help him effectively.

When I finally got the ball, there were Deportivo players in front and back, and it was difficult to break through, and sometimes I would be unlucky enough to run into Redondo directly. It's good now...... As long as you pass this kid in front of you, the sea and the sky are wide in front of you!

Thiago Silva had just lowered his centre of gravity when he saw Suseta suddenly flick the ball to the outside and then accelerate past him!

"It's over!" Frank clapped his hands, in fact, he didn't feel strange at all for this person, after all, this person on the field is also called "Redondo II", knowing his ability, so he is very relaxed.

Break through!

Thiago Silva's reaction was quick enough that the Athletic Bilbao fans were just about to open their mouths to sing when he turned to Susetta.

He didn't give up, he didn't know what it was, he only knew that his head coach, Juan Dias, had told him with his own hands.

"It's your job to keep the line safe and don't let your opponent break through in front of you...... Job. Juan laughed, "And then, the rest of the businesses are ancillary, you know?" ”

"Oh......"

At that time, he and Peng Peng were both there, and neither of them took it seriously, but I don't know why, this sentence immediately popped up from my mind.

Yes, he's the team's defender!

He's the team's defence!!

A brick in the Wall of Sighs of A Coruña!

With that in mind, Thiago Silva lunged straight at Susetta.

"Oh no! And didn't shake off! The distance between Thiago Silva and Suseta has not been widened! Frank exclaimed, "How incredible, two people with such similar styles and backs are actually two opposite types......

"yes, the opposite type of ...... Gago's speed is really fast, and Redondo might be invincible if he had that speed. ”

"Don't do that, after all, Redondo is a little old......"

"Got him!!" Athletic Bilbao fans leaned in from the stands and shouted.

"Stop him!" The Deportivo fans threw their fists and roared.

Suseta was now entangled again, much to his surprise. He knew this person, but he didn't expect this person to be so tenacious. He decided to change things up again, so he made a quick stop and flicked the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot, and Thiago Silva flew into the air and rushed over his head.

Suseta started again, intending to catch up with football, and he figured it was time to shake off the pesky ass completely.

Thiago Silva made the same abrupt stop after making a save, then turned around and slotted the ball sideways as fast as he could.

None of the experience and techniques he has outperformed others, but in terms of physique, he will not lose to anyone!

The football rolls right in front of Souseta, and as long as you wade through, it's a single knife...

Suddenly. One foot was in front of his eyes. The soccer ball was swept by that foot. Fly out!

holysh*t？！

Who is this?!!

When he raised his feet and jumped up to dodge, he subconsciously looked down to see who had stopped him, but when he looked down, he saw that the person lying on the ground was none other than Thiago Silva, the seemingly silent Brazilian youngster.

This-how-?-but-can?!

Where did he come from? He was obviously dumped by me! There's no way he'll ever be in front of me again!

The battle-hardened Suseta stared at the man with wide eyes as he got up from the ground and stumbled and kicked the big football kick that was bouncing in front of him off the sideline...... Although he didn't have a single Athletic Bilbao player around him except himself, he could have controlled it and then seized the opportunity to give Deportivo a one-shot counter-attack.

At this moment, Suseta didn't know whether to admire him or look at him with mentally retarded eyes......

However, even so, Athletic Bilbao is indeed missing a chance not to mention, and now the time on the field is getting tighter and tighter, and now is not the time to worry about others......

In the live broadcast hall of Sky Sports, Frank went crazy directly, jumping around the audience, looking super excited, and shouted loudly while jumping: "When Suseta started to dribble past Belleron and rush through the center circle before, who would have the slightest confidence in this kid and think that he could stop the Athletic Bilbao captain's progress?!" ”

"When Suseta forced his breakthrough with the change of fast and slow tempo, who would believe that this kid could still turn around and stick to him?"

When Suseta made a sudden stop to change direction and let the child rush through the air again. How many people still don't think Suseta has succeeded? ”

"This kid did it!! I don't know how he did it, but he surprised everyone!! When defending Suseta with a high dribble one-on-one, he managed to keep the top striker at bay! The most surprising thing is, how old is this kid this year? You're in your early twenties!! The future is limitless!! ”

When Thiago Silva was seen turning around and tackling in an impossible position, forcing Suseta to jump and dodge. This moment is even more exciting than seeing a goal!

It can even offset his previous slip with an unknown kick!!

Dean was also very excited: "The young players of Deportivo are very good, they are all very fast...... God, it's hard to believe that they're like shriveled sponges sucking up water now, and it's only been a few years like this, and A Coruña ...... The rise is no longer a problem. ”

"What are you talking about, Dean?" Frank grinned, "Isn't Deportivo already on the rise now?" ”

Redondo, who rushed back, was very excited on the court, he hugged Wood and patted him on the back: "Good job!" Good job! ”

At that time, he was still running in front of him and was almost about to give up, and I believe that there are many teammates who have the same idea as him.

But Diego Silva stimulated them with what looked like he was going to fight hard, causing them to slow down again, gritting their teeth and running one by one, panting back into their defensive positions.

…… Alas, take care of the mood of the older people a little......

Redondo praised people, and at the same time sighed in his heart, he is actually not a person who will be stingy with his praise, but there are some things that he is not very willing to say, but the appearance of the child in front of him is really worthy of a compliment.

Although he scored an own goal in the first game and scored in the second game, he was in full condition every time he came on the pitch after that, and this game even performed a live skill called "flat falling......

But compared to his desperate efforts, these are nothing!

Except for own goals! Well!

In the face of Redondo's sincere compliment, Thiago Silva himself looked very calm, but he was a little excited inside.

This feeling is really ...... That's great!

Football is as much a battle of morale as it is fighting, and Thiago Silva managed to defend against Suseta in this one-on-one game, which greatly boosted the morale of Deportivo La Coruna's side.

However, Athletic Bilbao were not vegetarians either, and they quickly made their adjustments, making two substitutions at the 67-minute mark, but neither looked like it had been very effective.

The head coach of Athletic Bilbao stood on the edge of the pitch, his face dark and shiny.

Deportivo youngster's play in this game was very good, first Gago's defense of Suseta made the captain of Athletic Bilbao hit the wall several times, and then Thiago Silva's flying tackle directly cut off Athletic Bilbao's attack, and the defense of both men had a very unreasonable taste, which also made Athletic Bilbao players complain.

These two guys are obviously from South America, how can they play as rude as if they are from South London?

Of course, this is just Susetta's anger, Gago's style of play is a few points similar to the elegant Redondo, which is recognized as elegant in football, so no matter how you look at it, his style of play is very beautiful, and Thiago Silva, although it is not ugly to play, but how to say that it is decent, right?

It's just that the defense of two people is too unreasonable, and Bilbao can't think of a better way to defend.

Juan stood up and stood on the edge of the court, his eyes falling on Gargo and sighing softly.

He wants his players to learn to play with their brains, not just their bodies.

Thinking about it and playing again will be very helpful for the players themselves, and there will be no less physical confrontation in all kinds of games in the future, and he doesn't want his players to get injured when they hit hard.

Moreover, he also has players like Aimar and Riquelme who have a softer style of play, and if they always encounter opponents who are physically strong and fierce in defense, and they can't play at their normal level, such players will not achieve much in the future.

Time seems to be running out for Athletic Bilbao.
