Marriner looked at Dick speechlessly, just now even he believed that Dick would have some way to help Atletico win, but it turned out to be just a reassuring word......

However, although he was speechless, Marriner quickly explained to Dick the composition of the opponent's personnel, in this respect he was a qualified assistant coach, at least in terms of training and gathering intelligence on the opponent, and he did not see Dick at a loss for his unfamiliar opponent, but told Dick everything he knew in detail.

From Marriner's explanation, Dick learned that the No. 20 player is named Nakel Bueno, twenty-one years old this year, a member of the Barcelona academy, scored eleven goals in 36 appearances in Barcelona II last season, and was loaned to Lleida by Barcelona this season to continue training - because he played in La C last season, and at the same time he is not too young, Barcelona wants to see what kind of ability he can play in the higher level of La Liga, if the performance continues to be excellent, Then it can be used as a supplement to the first team, and if it is not good, there is no worry that no one wants it.

"Grass mud horses are Barcelona again! I hate you even more now! Dick cursed in his heart, and he did not sit idle, but began to carefully observe the performance of Lleida's players on the field, hoping to judge the next tactical arrangement through this intuitive performance.

I have to say that at least Dick is still very good in eyesight - in his previous life, he was a fan for more than 20 years, and when the broadcast system was not developed, he watched at least one game a week, and after the broadcast system was developed, he did not refuse to come, and he didn't have any special favorite team, basically he would watch all the games that he could see, and if there was a conflict in time, he would pick a more famous team to watch.

"Well, it's not very good overall, that Nacker is just a guy who is used to attacking with his own ability, and his coordination ability is not very good, so it should be enough to pay attention to that...... They weren't particularly good defensively, with the two centre-backs playing each other in between holes, so as long as we continue to focus on boldly getting the ball into the box, with Torres in the form he has today, he'll take his chances. ”

Dick muttered as he watched the game, then he turned to Marriner and asked, "Robert, do we have a better defender on the bench?" That guy in Lima can run, but he didn't get to the point at all, if it weren't for Lleida's lack of attacking ability in the middle, I'm afraid we would have to concede the third goal, and if we want to counterattack in the second half, the midfield will have to be stable. ”

"Why midfield?" Marriner asked, somewhat confused: "The most dangerous place for them to attack and counter-attack is on the flanks, especially on the right side. ”

'Their right side, our left side, is actually steady." Dick proudly explained to Marriner: "That kid likes to work alone, yes, his ability is very good, but Kubino's ability to fill in is very strong, and we have reduced the number of assists from O&S, and under such a double attack, he is not a threat - if he is so strong that he can't defend either man, Barcelona will still send him out on loan?" I'm afraid I'm already in the first team. So in this case, we need someone in the midfield position who can stand in position, who can form the first cushion of the opposition when the opposition is counter-attacking, so that the centre-backs have time to organise an effective defence...... Because when the wing attack is blocked, they will pass the ball to the middle of the attack as soon as possible, and then there needs to be a defender in a position to interfere. Lima couldn't take on this responsibility, because he could only run back and forth, and he didn't have any sense of position. ”

This analysis made Marriner quite convinced, so he immediately nodded: "I understand...... Kuro Bakas, our substitute midfielder, can only be used as a substitute because his running and confrontation ability is not as good as Lima's, and his defensive skills are not as good as Cupino's, but he has a good sense of position and good physical fitness. ”

Dick compared the impression in his mind to the young man on the bench - about 1.8 meters tall, with short mental hair, watching the game intently.

Dick nodded slightly, he looked at his watch, saw that there were still five minutes left before the end of the first half, and then greeted Barkas.

"Kuro, go warm up!"

Barkas froze for a moment, then saw Dick beckoning to him, and was sure he would change himself—he immediately took off his coat and rushed out.

"The child still can't hold his breath." Dick said to Marina in an old-fashioned manner.

Marriner pouted – in the coaching profession, twenty-one-year-old Dick was a kid, right? Eighteen-year-old Kuro Barkas is not a kid in the player's business, but a lad at best.

"What's the matter, defend when you're behind, and let a midfielder warm up...... What is this manager up to? ”

There are a lot of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands who have begun to curse in annoyance, they were only happy for seven minutes, and then they were scored two in a row by the opponent, and then the team was pressed and beaten by the opponent, and now they have to change to a back to strengthen the defense - this is really unbearable!

However, no matter how hard they scolded, Dick was unmoved—something he himself found strange, because although he had been passive before, he didn't feel any nervous during the game, and the scolding from the fans in the stands didn't affect him in the slightest—which Dick could only explain by saying that he was a natural manager.

At this time, the "natural manager" was being angrily scolded by a group of fans behind the home team's coaching stand.

"Bastard! You're not dead, are you? Motionless ...... You might as well move! Now we are lagging behind, we have to attack! What is defense! ”

"Attack! Don't let them be so arrogant on our home turf! ”

"Damn, you scold, I want you all to get down on your knees and lick - my toes when you win the game." Dick thought to himself - if a head coach only listens to the instructions of the fans to play, then it will be over - for example, in a World Cup qualifier, the head coach of the Chinese national team really replaced XX in the shout of "change XX" chanted by the audience, and the result? The score that was originally leading was changed and then fell behind, and finally lost that crucial game......

Fans are often affected by emotions, but the coach cannot be affected by this, and must have a calm and sober judgment - Dick's judgment at this time is undoubtedly correct, and Atletico Madrid can no longer concede goals now.

With this in mind, Dick waited until the end of the first half - Atletico Madrid, who retreated to the defense, stabilized their situation and did not allow the opponent to continue to extend the lead.

When the players left the field, many Atletico Madrid fans in the stands booed, and the players of the second team thought that they were booing them, which made them feel ashamed, and almost ran into the players' tunnel, Torres did not look good when he came off the field, although he scored a goal, but the team's backwardness made his mood start to become bad, not to mention that after 20 minutes, the second team of Atletico Madrid focused on defense, and he did not get many opportunities.

"Don't blame yourself, it's none of your business."

Dick, who was waiting for him, put his arm around Torres' shoulders and walked towards the tunnel and said as he went: "Don't worry about not having a chance to continue scoring, I said you would score at least two goals...... In the second half it was our turn to counterattack and finish them off! ”

As they spoke, Dick and Torres walked to the players' tunnel, where he stopped abruptly and waved to the stands that had been the most scolding in the first half and were now the most booed......

The fans in the stands were stunned at the same time - they had planned to continue to boo or scold Dick subconsciously, but Dick was holding Atletico Madrid's hope, the talent of the second team, the hero of the game, Fernando Torres, who was loved and expected by all of them......

"Sample, do you know what it's called? This is called a rat bogey, and how do you know the breadth and profundity of my Chinese culture! ”

Proudly hugged Torres, as if he was hugging a peerless beauty, and walked into the players' tunnel, and he didn't let go of his hand until he walked into the players' tunnel: "Let's go, Fernando, let's talk about how to do those bastards in the second half!" ”

Walking into the dressing room with Torres, Dick glanced at the players who were silent in the dressing room – all of them looking bad, falling behind in the first half and being booed by their own fans...... You must know that although they only won one of the previous seven games, they have never been booed by their fans! The fans who came to watch Atletico Madrid's second team play were the most loyal fans of Atletico Madrid, and even they started to boo themselves, we must have played poorly in the first half......

Dick blinked, then figured out why the players had the expressions they did.

"You're thinking too much, really thinking too much."

Motioning for Torres to sit back in his place, Dick slashed his head at such a seemingly illogical and unfounded remark.

The players looked at the young manager in amazement - the oldest goalkeeper among them, Sanchez, was two years older than Dick, and now the manager who didn't have any hair was saying that they were thinking too much - how could they think too much?

"Are you fretting about the boos from the fans when you left the game?" Dick laughed, "Don't ask me how I know, I just know anyway...... But now I can tell you that they're not booing you, they're booing me, because they think I'm a coward and a guy who doesn't fight back when I'm already down by a goal in the first half...... Do you think they're right? ”

"Sir, I don't think they're right." Captain Gaspar replied honestly: "There was a time when we were in a dangerous situation and if we didn't regain the defence, they could have scored a third goal. ”

He is a first-hand witness on the field, so naturally it will feel even stronger.

"yes, that's it, so the fans aren't booing you, they're booing me, and they're booing the wrong ......," Dick said to the players in English, and the need for an interpreter on the sidelines is because it affects the players' hearing in a noisy environment, and they understand it immediately in Spanish, but not in the dressing room.

"I asked you to defend in the first half to win the game."

Dick said as he felt like he was really getting into the role of a head coach: "The fists have to be withdrawn and then punched out so that there is power, and the second half is when we break those bastards with heavy punches!" Let those guys know that Atletico II is not something they can easily beat! ”
