Chapter 30: Challenging the Corinthians

Anderson didn't know how to answer Curry's question.

Curry glanced at Anderson and said, "You're all professional players, right? It's not that the stats of the player master have been updated, or that your teammates are rated higher than yours. What's this. Have you ever wondered why FM companies don't give your data so high and why they give it so high to others. You don't know how much rating your own performance on the pitch deserves to be. ”

"I don't know what you guys think, anyway, I think the data and ratings given by the player master are just a reference, as long as you perform well on the pitch, the data and ratings will not be ugly." Sammy was the first to speak up in response to Curry. In training, Sammy's performance was normal. Actually, it also has something to do with his character. Sammy's personality is naturally loose, and besides, the evaluation given to him by the FM company this time is not low.

"Yes." As soon as Sammy spoke, Anderson took over the conversation. "The stats of the player masters are just statistics, and everyone's performance on the pitch is the key to everyone's future. Just like Lu Feng, if it weren't for his excellent performance in China and his current performance in the team, I don't believe FM would give him such a high rating. ”

Lu Feng is speechless, this is not considered to be a shot while lying down. Obviously, his rating is already very high, which will cause others to be jealous, and the captain still mentioned this, this is the rhythm of putting yourself on the fire to roast.

Anderson didn't think of this, but just mentioned it in passing, using the analogy of Lu Feng. Curry noticed the problem in Anderson's words and quickly diverted the topic. In Curry's heart, Lu Feng will inevitably have a lot of pressure in his heart when he encounters this kind of thing, and the pressure on him will be even greater if he talks more.

"Lu Feng's performance, everyone is also looking at it. Whether it's in training or in games, he has a good attitude. And what about you, look at you, the rating of a player master attracts all your minds, how can you get a high rating just like you. ”

"I'm sorry, sir, I was wrong." Silva's attitude in training was really negative. After the update of the football master data, he was affected to a certain extent, he originally thought that he could get an ability rating of about 160, who would have thought that he would only get an ability rating of 152, and the sense of gap in his heart made him seem careless in training.

Immediately afterwards, the team's copy Benjamin and others also admitted their mistakes, and a storm that might affect the team was resolved by Curry.

。。

It's March 7, and Santos is at home to Guarajangueta. In this game, Lu Feng qualified to start, and Lu Feng did not live up to the trust of the head coach and scored a goal in the game.

In the end, Santos defeated Guarajangeta 2-0 at home and continued his unworshipping momentum. In their next game, Santos travels to Corinthians in a match that will decide the top of the league. Corinthians are leading the way with nine wins and one draw, with Santos close behind by one point. In the next match, if Santos can win, he will be at the top of the table. If you lose, the gap will be stretched to four points.

Curry clearly took this game very seriously, and the team began preparations for Corinthians after the game against Guarajangueta. The importance of this game is self-evident, and Curry cannot afford to lose.

Three days later, the Corinthians Itaguera Stadium, the highlight of the league round, was played at Santos and Corinthians.

Corinthians have been doing quite well this season, going unbeaten in 10 league games. And Santos' recent momentum is not far behind, so neither the pundits nor the fans know who will emerge victorious. Because of this kind of competition, whoever wins is possible. Corinthians may be able to help them a little bit from home advantage compared to Santos.

In this game, Curry shot a 4321 formation for the sake of safety, thinking that he was very afraid of Corinthians' offense. And Lu Feng, Curry still didn't trust him enough in this kind of crucial game and was put on the bench.

After the start of the game, Corinthians took advantage of this home advantage and launched waves of attacks towards Santos from the beginning. Santos followed Curry's tactics and played defensive counterattacks. Corinthians' offensive ability is too strong this season, Santos and Corinthians play against each other, and Curry does not have that confidence.

In the 12th minute, Corinthians striker Allen had a one-on-one chance after breaking through the double of Valazula and Benjamin. In the face of the decisive attack of Gulidev, Allen chose to shoot, the football passed between Gulidev's legs, and the ball hit the post and bounced off the bottom line. The goalpost was meritorious, and Gulijeff couldn't help but kiss the goalpost.

In the 19th minute, Santos counterattacked quickly after a break, and Mamaku pulled Sami down after being passed by Sammy. Mamaku picked up the first yellow card of the game and Santos picked up a free-kick. Silva's direct free-kick bypassed the goalkeeper and flew off the post.

In the 26th minute, Carlos sent a beautiful through ball and Allen managed to receive the ball without being offside. The burst shot left Gulijeff completely unable to react, and the ball crashed into the net. Corinthians lead Santos 1-0.

In the 34th minute, Santos took a corner kick and Benjamin's header from inside the box was saved by Corinthians goalkeeper Andarosia.

In the 37th minute, Benjamin tackles a foul and receives a yellow card. Carlos' direct free-kick was saved by Gulidev, and Alto's follow-up shot was cleared off the line by Anderson.

In the 44th minute, Allen suddenly got up and shot after passing Valazula and Alex, and Gulidev made a brave save to save the shot. Carlos, who was plugged in from behind, hit the crossbar and Santos escaped again. At the end of the first half, the two sides had 58% and 42% possession, 7 and 4 shots on goal, and the score was 1-0. Whether it is from the field or to the score, Corinthians have an advantage over Santos.

After returning to the locker room, Curry told the players that there was still hope for a goal down, and he still fought back in the second half to try to equalize or even overtake the score. For Carlos, who performed well in the first half of the game, Curry instructed Valazula to play close defense and not give the opponent more opportunities to organize the offense.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Curry's adjustment went to a certain effect. Valazula's defense made Carlos, the core of the opposing midfield, unable to organize the attack comfortably.

Just when Curry thought the game was promising, Corinthians scored again.
