Chapter 207: Old Pinto's Musical Dream
Coach Stahl Solbakken borrowed from Jose Mourinho's tactics and combined them with his team's usual counter-attacking counter-attacks to allow Barca's attacks to be lost in the first 20 minutes, with the only threat being David Villa's shot from the waistline of the penalty area.
Huluwa felt his hands and feet cold, and he seemed to have kicked more of the frames in the past two months than in the previous ten years combined.
Copenhagen's forward line is the most standard one high and one fast configuration of the anti-counter team, and the 190-centimeter Senegalese striker Dame Ndoye has a faint taste of the first striker in the Danish Super League, and his scoring ability is very strong. His partner, Brazilian Cesar Santin, is incredibly fast and has a standard skill at his feet.
In the 26th minute, Barcelona pressed the pass at half time and failed to form a threat, and Copenhagen captain Quest took the ball in the midfield and launched a counterattack. The moment he received the ball, there was no one else on the halfway line of the 22 men on both sides except for Barcelona goalkeeper Jose Pinto.
Cesar Santie stepped on the halfway line to stand out, Barcelona's full-backs Abidal and Alves were still pressed in front of the opponent's penalty area and did not come back, Pique and Puyol stayed until they turned around, and were thrown out by Santin four or five meters away. The distance from the middle line to the penalty area looks very long, but it is actually a matter of a few big steps, not to mention fast horses, that is, players who are generally not good at speed, and if they want to catch up, they basically have to rely on the striker to mix garlic under his feet.
Santin and Ndoye are like two crazy wild horses, and in an instant they are divided into left and right to kill the Barcelona penalty area, between them are the panicked Puyol and Pique, the four of them run in the shape of a trumpet, and Aunt Pujie is the bottom of the trumpet. The others watched from afar, and all of them were beyond their reach.
Due to the defensive principle of giving priority to the ball, the Purs and Pique could only desperately chase closer to Santing, who was rushing forward with the ball, and Ndoye, who was also going hand in hand on the other side, was completely out of content. In fact, it is impossible for Pupi and the others to even catch Santin, they are just doing their best, otherwise it would be very unreasonable to just open their eyes and look at it.
Two seconds later, Santine rushed to the outside of the Barcelona penalty area with the ball, and behind him was Pupi duo approaching, and Pinto had already abandoned the goal. Such a simple routine, even the Chinese team is difficult to miss, as long as Santing crosses the football to Ndoye on the other side, it will be a near-empty goal, Pinto even if he has three heads and six arms, there is no way.
35-year-old José Pinto certainly can't be three-headed and six-armed, and he's not a squid. In fact, if you really talk about the talent of goalkeeping, there will be very few people in the football world who can surpass Pinto, but in his almost 20-year career, he has only played three seasons as the main player during the Vigo Celta period, and the rest of the time has been the second goalkeeper, neither increasing nor decreasing, nor fighting.
Pinto's failure to become a top goalkeeper was due to absent-mindedness, football was not his passionate, and he spent far more energy on music than on goalkeeping skills.
José Pinto has a bachelor's degree in sound engineer and a master's degree in music production, and he is a pop music producer of considerable quality.
Pinto had his own band and a dedicated music studio, and although he didn't make any name for himself these days, his ambition was always in pop music.
In fact, playing music is also quite hard, and there are many more grass stage bands than football clubs at all levels combined, but there are very few who can get ahead, and there are far fewer opportunities than football.
And playing pop music is very expensive, even if you want to be a music migrant worker, you must at least have similar equipment. Pinto and his team can't be migrant workers, he can't toss and lose his job without that time, and the studio has been supported by Pinto's salary for all these years.
Opportunity is important no matter what you do, and so is pop music. If Jenna Pence and her Green Wind Band hadn't met Zhuo Yang by chance that year, it is very likely that they would still be a wandering bar band, and even have disappeared.
Every day in this world, countless bands disband and disappear, and more musicians with dreams join in, and it is not uncommon for those who become passers-by to sweep the sands, and those who have broken their dreams early and go back to move bricks are not necessarily much worse than the level of the king and queen.
Opportunity is a key, open this door is the golden avenue to the sky, without this key, can only forever grope outside the door, old recall their youth once chased the dream, a sigh is all the story.
In 2004, Pinto and his studio had an opportunity, and their production was appreciated by a director of the pop music giant Warners, but this opportunity did not come out of nowhere, it took a lot of connections that Pinto had maintained over the years. For this opportunity, he invested in this production at any cost, because it was a success or not.
Jose Pinto was already planning to retire at that time, and once he signed with Warner, he would start his beloved musical life in full. But at the last minute, Warner released Pinto's pigeons, and they had a better choice.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and this setback almost destroyed Pinto's musical dreams, and he put too much effort into it. Perhaps it was years of football training that gave Pinto strength, and he eventually survived and continued his music, starting again to look for his next opportunity.
The blow also made Pinto start taking his football seriously, as he had to earn wages to keep his dream alive. Over the next three seasons, Pinto, who was focused, took the position of Celta Vigo's main goalkeeper and showed his talent in the art of goalkeeping.
But after all, football is only a job to support his family, not a professional interest, and he still prefers the backup goalkeeper in football, because he earns a lot of money because he has few things to do.
In the 2008 winter transfer window, Pinto got his wish, because of the cruciate ligament rupture of substitute goalkeeper Albert Holkela in training, Barcelona bought Pinto from Celta, who was relegated to the second division of La Liga, and since then he has become the second Barcelona goalkeeper at ease.
Over the years, Barcelona seems to have a curse, from Enke to the Turkish Rustu, and then to Hollac, several people have had a hard time and have very bad luck, until Pinto came to seem to have shattered this nightmare, he is safe and happy, and Barcelona is also thriving.
Jose Pinto's best friend in the Barcelona team is Messi, can't you think of it? Although Messi's best friend may not be Pinto, the two do have a good personal relationship. Pinto's least favorite person in the team is naturally Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang knows, but he doesn't care anymore.
.
José Pinto is a musician at heart, and goalkeeping is just a side hustle. Facing Copenhagen's hard-nosed manager and Brazilian striker Santing, who has formed a momentum to force the palace, musician Pinto is the old goblin who does not play according to common sense.
