Chapter 13: A rookie's first experience in the Champions League (2)
Wag's face tensed, and the cheers around him hit his eardrums again and again like waves.
He tried to relax and calm his body as much as possible, but the gaze around him made his heart beat faster and faster.
It's the Champions League!
It wasn't until he got inside the Circle that he felt what it was like.
Tens of thousands of eyes watched, and even millions of people watched online in front of the TV.
Needless to say, it's easy to be famous on this kind of stage, but it's also easy to be embarrassed.
It's all about performance.
The Champions League is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a young player who has only played in the Belgian league.
Wag walked almost stiffly to his position, standing on the field, his mind blank.
Yi Le stood with Kanter, looking at Wag's appearance, Kanter couldn't help but laugh: "The rookie is scared stupid!" ”
"That's not a good sign!"
Yi Le frowned.
N'Golo Kante shrugged: "It's understandable to be nervous, but hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid, it's the Champions League, all eyes are on here. Properly suppressing the desire to perform, integrating into the team, and feeling the rhythm of the Champions League is the most important! ”
Yi Le turned his head and said, "You should tell him these words." ”
Kante pouted; "I don't want to be a bad guy!"
As he spoke, Kante waved his hand and left.
Yi Le turned his head to look at Wag, who was a little flustered, pursed his lips, and turned his head not to pay attention to him.
After a substitution, the game resumed.
Napoli's attack was even more irritable.
If we talk about the previous situation, Napoli lost and lost.
But what is this now?
The game was not over yet, and Villas-Boas was directly replaced by a Champions League rookie.
Boas's intention is too obvious, this is to train the troops, borrowing the hand of Napoli to train the troops.
Is it tolerable or intolerable?
They can lose, but they can't lose so aggrieved.
Thinking of this, Naples began to storm towards the left flank, and the object of their onslaught was undoubtedly the area where Wag was located.
Although Wag's performance in the World Cup is very good, to be honest, to some extent, the World Cup may be more influential than the Champions League, but the competitiveness is definitely better than that of a league like the Champions League.
They now have to teach Wag a lesson, and at the same time make Boas understand that this is a humiliating end.
.......
"Napoli is constantly pressuring on the left flank, which is a bit of a bully!"
Zhan Jun frowned and said.
In all fairness, it is natural to want to give to the weak, and Wag is a rookie in the Champions League, and he is making his debut at the top level, and he meets all the characteristics of the underdog.
Although he is now wearing the shirt of Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli is bullying people by putting all the attacking pressure on the left wing.
Under constant pressure from Naples, the left flank faltered, and in the end Yile had to retreat to help Wag share the pressure.
But even so, the pressure on the left cannot be completely relieved.
Boas is very calm, now that the score gap, Napoli has no possibility of turning the tables, and the purpose of sending Wag on the field is to better train Wag.
A few goals in exchange for the long-term stability of the Parisian left wing defence, it's worth it!
Wag was a bit of a scramble, he couldn't adapt to the fast pace and intensity of the Champions League.
In the past, training was training, but when it comes to real competition, the pace is much faster than when training, and confrontation is not comparable to training at that time.
Without anyone left behind, the ball didn't know where it was rolling, and all he could do in the ever-changing arena was concentrate and then fight to prevent the opponent from breaking through his defence.
Again and again, the impact is also challenging Wag's limit again and again, and after 10 minutes, this Senegalese young man is panting like a cow.
Bang!!
Yile intercepted a Napoli attacking pass and kicked the ball off the field.
Wag watched Yi Le walk past him, not even looking at him during the process, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
He knew he was doing poorly.
Time passed little by little, and Wag felt exhausted after 20 minutes of play.
He never imagined that the intensity of the Champions League would be so strong.
It's completely unbearable!
But what shocked him even more was that the rest of his teammates had been running for 90 minutes, but they still had the energy to spare.
It's still too weak!
Beep beep !!
The whistle blew at the end of the game, and in the final 20 minutes, Napoli went on a frantic attack, but they still couldn't pick up a point.
In the end, in the second round of the 2018/2019 Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Napoli 4-0.
And this Yile return battle also ended perfectly.
Post-match press conference.
In the face of the surging reporters, Boas answered them one by one.
"The first ball has a tactical component, that's something we've agreed on a long time ago, and we're trying to play with a variety of plays!"
"Yi is in good shape, and I think you've seen it with your own eyes."
"Will Yi play in the next game? I guess it's a stupid question, he's at the heart of Paris and he's going to be on the pitch all the time! ”
"Neymar transfer? Sorry, I haven't received any news about his transfer, and please don't write any nonsense, we'll sue you! ”
The big win over Napoli in Paris made Boas the little madman again.
spoke with a little confidence, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if mocking the reporters' questions before the game.
Looking at the triumphant Boas, the reporters were eager to give him a punch, but they knew that now Boas could only coax, they still needed news, they also needed interviews, and they needed Boas to open a green channel for them.
At the end of the post-match press conference of 'Harmony', the Parisian players returned to the training ground by bus.
Villas-Boas didn't give his players a holiday because of a big win, which he thinks is a sure thing to happen.
Villas-Boas's goal is always to win the Champions League, and other than that, even being runners-up would be a failure!
Back at the training base, the players were led by Villas-Boas and the players were given a brief post-match analysis, which allowed the players to leave.
Boas looked at Wag's back with his shoulders drooping, and couldn't help but say to Michelle: "He's handed it over to you!" ”
Hearing this, Michelle paused for a moment, and then couldn't help grinning.
This guy really thinks he's a babysitter.
"I think he can self-regulate!"
"Nope! He needs your comfort. ”
Michelle's cheeks twitched and she said, "Why do you think I can do it?" ”
Boas took it for granted and said, "Because, Eriksen is a successful example!" Man, he needs your counseling, you need to save a young mind! ”
Michelle scolded and left.
Psychological counseling fart!
It's to let Lao Tzu fool people!
