Chapter 14: You Are Our Ronaldo (Part II)
Injuries, constant injuries, tormented Lawrence's nerves.
Back, knee, ankle, calf, thigh, head injuries are all over the body. He was only 26 years old, his talent and health were eroded, and he even had to take an overdose of painkillers every night to sleep.
Can football bring him a little bit of joy? It doesn't seem like so, but the Irishman's singing never stopped after he played in the professional league.
Hydeward's eyes gradually focused, all of Lawrence's attributes gradually became clear, the current potential was 134, the current ability was 134, he squeezed every inch of the potential of his body, even if this sponge was squeezing hard, there was not the slightest moisture.
Physical attributes are very poor, and there is always a red arrow on the speed and burst that goes straight down.
The green arrow pointing to the upper right represents a slight increase in the attribute, and the increase will be around 0.1-0.9, and pointing directly above represents a large increase in the attribute, with an increase of 1 or more.
Similarly, a red arrow pointing downwards to the right indicates a slight drop in the property, while pointing straight downwards indicates a large decline.
Lawrence is trying to suppress this process at most.
The note turned into a ball of paper in his hand, and a few years ago he and Andrews were Gemini signs in Ireland. When they left their homeland for England, the people of their homeland longed for them to be the likes of Manchester United captain Roy Keane and another legend in Ireland.
Andrews is on a path to prove himself and if he can continue to do so in the next few rounds, he will most likely move to a bigger club in the winter. Maybe it's West Bromwich Albion, maybe it's Arsenal.
Lawrence, on the other hand, has had a career that has been a history of injuries from head to toe. And just like that, the Irishman went from the seventh tier of England to the second division of the Championship with a smile and a gratitude for life.
The speed that he thought was proud of was worn out, and he became a Lawrence who only scored one goal in 11 league games.
"Boss, I probably can't help you."
He patted his right leg and pulled off his socks.
There were two reddish scars on the heels, a knife horizontally on the tibia, and a cross on the vertical, not only that, but the round scar should have been left by the long shoe spikes shoveled into the leg.
"On both feet, and on the back"
Lawrence smiled helplessly and looked at the moon in the sky in a daze.
Hydward left the training ground without saying anything, and soon returned with a bag full of bouncing footballs.
"Boss, I'm poor, I don't have much money, these are the transfer fees I gave you."
He took out the soccer balls and laid them out one by one, and wiped them back and forth with a towel.
"This ......"
Lawrence was speechless, looking at the balls scattered all over the ground, what did the manager want to do?
"When Cristiano Ronaldo debuted, his transfer fee was also a bag of football. Ferguson's 12.24 million and Real Madrid's 96 million are not worth as much as this bag of football. ”
"No one can stand here with so many injuries, Lawrence, you shocked me, you know?"
"Actually, I should apologize to you, if I had taken over during the winter break, I would probably have sold everyone on the team. Portsmouth need better players for relegation, but unfortunately you are not on the list. ”
"This bag of football is a transfer fee paid to you, I can't get Cristiano Ronaldo, Lawrence you are my Cristiano Ronaldo."
Hydward's every word is sonorous, like a fan song, "Lawrence is unstoppable, he's physical, he's fast, his shot can go through the net, la-la-la...... Are you scared? Lawrence is unstoppable! "Straight to the heart.
Ward repeatedly looked at his stats panel, and there was a pattern in football, and the higher the position, the more intense the confrontation became.
A large number of stars will be played further and further back, and this is the last resort to prolong his career, the 31-year-old Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard moved back again this year, and Jay, who even played as a second striker a few years ago, switched to a central midfield this year.
The most effective way for Lawrence to do so is to move back, which is a choice that most professional coaches make for their players.
But whether it is suitable or not is even more worth considering.
If you're like Gerrard, the midfield is a panacea, from top to bottom, left to right, of course, you have to change it, you have to change it immediately.
At least the problem of physical confrontation has been completely solved, from the forward line to the midfield, the level of physical confrontation faced is not at the same level at all.
It's a pity that Lawrence is not Gerrard, his talent panel is only a bright dark green on the point of a striker, a forward midfielder; Winger; The talent in these positions in the midfield didn't even shine on.
Positional talent dark green represents like a fish in water, light green is at ease, yellow is obscure, and red is at a loss to follow these four grades.
The Irish can't even reach that gear, and it is better to play a midfielder than to sing.
Since the position can't be changed, you can only start with responsibilities like Jonathan. Then start from the center of the pile; Striker; dragging back forwards; defensive forwards; all-round striker; Pick one of the seven responsibilities of a nine-and-a-half and a point-grabbing striker.
Stand-up center; Strikers and all-round forwards that require strong physical confrontation are completely unbeatable for Lawrence, even if they are physically intact.
Defensive strikers, who actively seek confrontation, are even more unsuitable.
Four were excluded in the first place.
The number nine and a half, which is one of the most bluffing characters in football, is generally the number 9 is the iconic number of the striker and the number 10 is the signature number of the playmaker in the midfield. As the name suggests, the nine-and-a-half is a character between the 10th and the 9th, who can both destroy the city and command the city.
Lawrence used to play as a number nine and a half, and he relied more on the type of nine, a duty that would use his breakthrough to create opportunities for the forward midfielder or wide fielder, a high free man up front, and he was always looking for gaps. If you can describe it as a player, it is the Spanish golden boy Torres.
It's impossible to play like this, the Irish doesn't have much passing ability, and the duty of letting him play a number nine and a half closer to a number ten is not a solid suggestion.
Now in front of us, there are only two options left: the backward striker and the point-grabbing striker.
These are two completely different player type responsibilities, and for both Hydward and Lawrence, they are faced with a choice between one or the other.
It's like Bayern Munich's strict management system colliding with Barcelona's free imagination, which represents the truth of the football world, but there is no tacit understanding with fellow travelers.
The point-grabbing striker is an aggressive and aggressive man who is known as an opportunist on the pitch, and the role is defined by AC Milan legend Filip Inzaghi. Nicknamed Linghu, he relied on his incredible running position and ultra-high archery skills, and Inzaghi, who had no speed and no body, wrote his own legend.
Is it just that Lawrence can be such an opportunist?
Hydward fell into a long thought.
