Chapter Eighty-Eight: Don't Talk About Martial Virtues
Jose Mourinho has been at home for more than a year since his dismissal from Manchester United, and his ability to hold hands with Tottenham is largely due to the promise of club chairman Levy to give Magic Bird full control over the club. But Levy's aides don't all think this way, at least some of Mourinho's key moves will always be secretly observed.
In weekday training sessions, Mu Shuai usually does not divide the players into main and non-main groups, but divides the strength of the two groups of players into a more balanced group, the weak offensive group is strong in defense, and the strong offensive group will be slightly inferior in defensive strength.
"Group 1, Sun, Lucas, Bergwijn, forwards; Alli, Winks, Hojbjerg, midfielders; Reguilon, Dier, Alderfred, Aurier, defender; Hart in goal. ”
"Group 2, Lamela, Mingichi, forwards; Ndon, Lo Celso, Sissoko, Gerdson, the four of you play in midfield, Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Davies you four defenders, Lloris in goal. ”
As soon as Mu Shuai announced the lineup, the players on both sides were a little confused, everyone thought that the coach was too ruthless, this is almost the main lineup playing as a substitute, a rich flowing oil, although a poor jingle is not a poor clang, but the configuration on each line is a little different, I don't know what medicine is sold in the coach's gourd? Is it just that you want the main squad to find a feeling of scoring goals?
Ming Yi also began to worry, saying that he would play on the right side, but there were three midfielders opposite, and the positions of the three would focus on the middle, and the style of play of the two strikers would also limit the running of him and Lamela.
Sun Xingmin, who was on the other side, was hugging Lei Jilong's shoulders and muttering something, looking at Lei Jilong's surprised and happy expression, thinking that he was confessing to Lei Jilong.
The assistant coach whistled, the group confrontation began, Lucas passed the ball back to Ali, Ming Yi immediately stepped forward to scramble, Ali was not in a hurry, he wanted to wait for Ming Yi to get close to a feint to shake off the little brother, who knew that Ming Yi did not mean to close his feet at all, and swept over with a full foot, Ali saw that the situation was not good, and immediately jumped after stabbing the ball with his right foot to No. 8 Winks, but he was still knocked down by Ming Yi, because the ball was still at his feet, the assistant coach did not blow and stop, Ali got up and scolded.
"Are you crazy? What is this? ”
Ming Yicai ignored it, turned around and rushed towards Winks. Winks has improved rapidly since Jose Mourinho arrived at Tottenham, and the most he has done on the field in the past has been to take the ball and divide it again, and his ability to organise and deliver the dangerous ball has never been able to be used, this time he looked up for a striker as soon as he got the ball, and a long mid-distance ball found Dutch striker Bergwijn.
Bergwijn wanted to catch the ball and stop it before making plans, but as soon as the ball landed in front of him, it was pushed out by a huge force.
"Good shot, Musa! Spread out. Lamela raised his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball, Sissoko moved when he heard the wind, and found Lamela on the left side with a long diagonal pass, and the main team was also angry at the opponent's fierce scramble at the beginning, and Ivory Coast had full-back Aurier who was willing to let the opponent make a fuss in his defensive area, and ran a few steps to prevent Lamela from controlling the ball with violence.
Lamela had a hunch that the limelight was not right, and she didn't love fighting, so she directly knocked Ndombele on the back, but she was knocked on her back by Aurier.
In just a dozen seconds, there were already three people on the field, and the anger of the players on both sides was surging. As long as the assistant coach doesn't blow it, where the ball is the battlefield, for a while the players are like red eyes, don't save face at all, come up is a slam and crash, and then the assistant coach has to stop the game.
Ali, who fell to the ground just now, still didn't give up, and yelled at Ming Yi: "Boy, what's the matter, stir up trouble, come on!" ”
Ali went straight to Mingyi, but fortunately he was hugged by Ndombele: "Delhi, dissipate your anger, it's all about running to the ball, not on purpose." ”
"What is this? Does a kid play football like that? Kicking people is also called kicking a ball? ”
"Young man, you can't help but talk about martial arts!"
Ming Yi thought to himself, brother, I can't help it, it's all my own people, who wants to kick you. When I'm done, I'll be with you. But he can't show weakness now, and he will fight to the end if he wants to.
"What's wrong with this? Did the referee blow it? If you're afraid of going home and playing PlayStation in pain, what's going on here? ”
Ali was furious, if he hadn't been held by Endong, he would definitely rush up and do it.
Assistant coach Joao whispered to Mu Shuai: "Boss, is it too late to play like this, there is still a game on the weekend, don't make any trouble at this time." ”
"No wonder when I was at Manchester United, the old man Ferguson wanted me to buy Ali, and the old man said that Ali's stubborn temper and desire to win are what Manchester United need." Mu Shuai was not in a hurry, but also felt very happy.
"But boss, this has nothing to do with the desire to win, it's all done." Joao reminded.
"Hey... Don't worry, don't you see how lazy Ali is in training, he will definitely be serious in the next training matches. These kids are too well-behaved on the court, they are too honest, not fierce enough, they have to understand that they don't need good kids for 90 minutes of the game, they need villains! Especially against a hard-line team like Crystal Palace, if we can't get tough, we will be eaten by our opponents. ”
As soon as Joo saw that the coach had already had an idea, he stopped speaking. The hiccups on the pitch also subsided under everyone's adjustment.
The game started again, the main side controlled the ball and attacked, the back player Hojbjerg handed the ball to Son Xingmin, Son Xingmin saw that the opposite right-back Doherty came up to intercept and was not in a hurry, he did not choose to fight with Doherty, but moved to the middle with the ball, Doherty followed Son Xingmin all the way to the middle, running and running, he suddenly found that the figure behind him was shaking, Doherty thought badly, and was about to return to his position, Son Heungmin had already passed the ball to Doherty with a diagonal pass.
Reggillon was plugging in at full speed and bringing the ball to the baseline, Doherty could only turn and chase back, but where to catch up, Regieron was completely unguarded around, and he had plenty of time to adjust, like just in training, to send a comfortable left-footed cross.
The young centre-back Dill did not dare to slack off, moved a few steps early to wait for the ball to land, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
Unexpectedly, Son Heung-min was just waiting for him, he unloaded the ball, ran two steps to the edge of the penalty area, and swung his thighs to shoot. Sissoko and Gerdesson were two midfielders, one left and one right, to block Sun Yige's shot.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xingmin actually shook a shot and made a fake shooting action. Take advantage of the trend to the right, don't underestimate this step of the ball, the two backs are shaken, and the center of gravity is handed over at once.
Son Heung-min glanced at the goal, and directly took his right foot to make a wonderful arc and went straight to the far corner of the goal.
Lloris flew to save, but the shot was too tricky, grazing the post and flying into the goal.
"Good ball, Sun!" When the teammates saw that Brother Sun Yi had entered the world, they stepped forward to celebrate.
"Why is this guy so good, he can shoot long shots with his left and right feet, and he can score anything? It's a monster! Joao muttered to himself.
"To be honest, Sun can play to this extent, I didn't expect that he should be the strongest person in the team to win now." Mu Shuai replied.
