Chapter 367: The Charm of a Football Star
Although the European competition is temporarily over, the fans do not seem to let Guedes go and greet them at the door of the training ground with various banners.
The banner is characteristic, like a joke Vieri made on a plane.
Guedes and Couvas, including Lincoln, who scored a goal, were not spared, and their huge portraits were locked in the lower half of their bodies with a large lock, accompanied by the text - Take care of your own birds.
"The bird is not obedient, and it is true that the ball is not well played." Wang Dalong was a little gloating, he was disappointed in them himself, and it was normal to taunt them. Lincoln they don't know how blessed they are, they really don't know how difficult it is to become a professional player, how coveted it is to be able to get so much money, he couldn't think about it a year and a half ago, so he cherishes his career very much, and will never do anything that violates professional ethics, but Lincoln They are obviously not, maybe they are too talented, and they have grown up too smoothly, and they don't know how hard it is to get it.
In most parts of China, no one plays professional football at all, and Wang Dalong was born in Longmen City, Quang Nam Province, in addition to being a miracle, it is still a miracle.
"Boss, don't tease us anymore, we know it's wrong, and we won't dare to do it again."
"This thing can't be erased, after the end of your career, people will talk about it, all you can do now is to conquer everyone with better performances, such as this league at the weekend, if you want the fans to like you again, you have to show better performances, if it's still like the Europa League, then your situation will only get worse and worse." Although Wang Dalong actually has little experience in his career, he understands it by watching the news.
Didn't a superstar like Ronaldo have a lot of scandals when he was young? But people reconquered the fans with wonderful performances and changes, and in the end, it was not his scandals that were remembered, but his merits.
Of course, if you want people to talk about scandals, you have to be at least a football star, otherwise you are a cat and a dog, who will talk about you?
However, despite the hard work and performance in training, Crespo didn't give it a chance is another matter.
For the first time on the weekend, Crespo put Cuvas and Guedes on the bench. It stands to reason that after returning from Moscow, the guys have reviewed, the money has been penalized, and the strength and form have recovered, and they should regain their place in the main line, but Crespo chose the original two substitutes.
On the way to SPAL, Kuvas knew that they would be substitutes, so they naturally couldn't be happy, a bad team like SPAL happened to be an opportunity to get back into form, but Crespo didn't start?
Of course, they can also be understood as Crespo hid them in order to prepare for the second leg of the Europa League.
Lincoln was lucky, after all, he scored last time and made up for his mistakes, and also because Parma really didn't have a center.
There was nothing to see in this game, and Parma was still much higher than Spal's. In the first half, Wang Dalong assisted his team-mates with three assists, and Parma's performance was very different from that in the Europa League.
The bigger the score, the more sad Kuvas became, because without them, the team still performed so well. In the second half, Wang Dalong scored the fourth goal and went off early, after which Lincoln also got a chance to rest.
The final score was 5:0.
However, Crespo used up three substitutions and did not have their share of Kuvas.
Coors and Gross glanced at each other, both seeing the crisis in each other's eyes. The strength of the team has been growing, Crespo is also changing, they are no longer the absolute main force in the team, Crespo really dares to make substitutions.
"In the Europa League, we won't be unable to play, right?" Kuvas muttered. He made his debut as an attacking midfielder at Boca Juniors and had a strong ability to read the game, and he saw it in this game, not how strong he and Guedes were, but how strong the TMD Wang Dalong was. With them on the field, the score is like this, and without them, it's also like this.
That only shows that they don't seem to matter that much, because other teammates can take their place. As far as this game is concerned, Wang Dalong's three assists in front of him are really TMD beautiful, and they are completely fed to the mouth, if such a ball can't be scored, he is embarrassed to stay on the field.
Any teammate in that position can easily score a goal. Why did Crespo use them when others could do it?
Guedes didn't have a bottom in his heart, and what Kuvas was thinking, he was also thinking.
It's not that they already have talent, and they are boundlessly strong. It's that Wang Dalong is too strong, and it is Wang Dalong who has led them to victory all the time. For a while, they even felt that this team was not just Wang Dalong's team, they were also very strong, and they also had the ability to play for other giants. When Wang Dalong finalized the transfer to Manchester City, they also felt that they should go to the giants instead of just staying at Parma.
But now, they seem dispensable to Parma.
What transfer giants are talking about now? Let's think about how to win back the main position, this game has brought them too many ideas.
As a professional, it's right to have a sense of urgency in their hearts, and the fact that Koovas and Guedes can think that way shows that they haven't been overwhelmed by the sperm.
They were all able to think like this, and Wang Dalong felt that his level had improved even more.
With the skill of God Vision, he feels more relaxed than before, he used to have three eyes, now he feels like he has eyes on his head, this game, he always feels that he doesn't need to observe, he can see the movement of his teammates, and then complete the assist.
He also felt that it didn't matter who was standing next to him now, as long as he wasn't really a pig, he could run, be diligent, and have better awareness, he would be able to pass the ball over. With Ampadu and Casey behind him, he can calmly organize the attack, of course, Lincoln cannot be missing the point in front, Lincoln's role as a fulcrum and bridgehead is still very prominent.
Crespo also tasted the sweetness, and as he prepared for the second leg of the Europa League, he still had no intention of returning Couvas and Guedes to the main line-up, throwing them on the side of the substitutes.
Such information hit Curles even more, and it looked like they were really going to sit on the bench.
"If this continues, won't I have a chance to go to the World Cup?" Guedes woke up to the fact that one of Portugal's most promising young players had made a big mistake.
No matter how good a player is, if he doesn't have a game to play and can't maintain his form, then the national team won't beckon him. A 20-year-old player can go to the World Cup, which is definitely something that many players dream of but can't do, but Guedes has such an opportunity, but such an opportunity seems to have been ruined by his own hands, and if Crespo plays like this until the end of the season, he will probably be finished. And his reputation is so bad now, the head coach of the national team has to consider public opinion if he wants to recruit him.
Sometimes it's not enough to have football skills, character is also very important, Benzema's strength is strong, but because of the time after the prostitution goal, the head coach of the French team refused to be in front of the national team gate for more than three years, if there is Benzema, the French team may have won the European Cup in 16 years.
It doesn't matter if Kouvas is here, Argentina has too many talents, and if you grab a lot of them, you can't line him up, and even Dybala may not be able to go to the World Cup, what is he.
Wang Dalong is different, he is the darling of the Chinese team, in early March, the Chinese team will have a friendly match, which is arranged by Lippi himself, and the opponent is the Italian national team. The Italian national team failed to participate in the 2018 World Cup final, so it was brought by Lippila to practice with the Chinese team, and the venue was arranged at the Tardini Stadium.
To be honest, the time was a bit squeezed, and it was not suitable to arrange a friendly match at this time, but the Italian Football Federation still agreed.
Of course, Lippi's mind is very obvious when he arranges this. The first opponent of the World Cup is Sweden, Sweden eliminated Italy and squeezed into the World Cup, Sweden can win Italy, so can the Chinese team win Italy? He has a good idea and a bit of an adventure. What if the Chinese team loses by a big score, is the player's self-confidence still there?
Lippi may feel that this is a matter of more advantages than disadvantages, in order to make Wang Dalong not tired, he even pulled the Chinese team to Parma to play, giving Wang Dalong and Parma enough face.
However, Crespo still thinks that this is not good, what if he gets injured because of playing a friendly match? He negotiated with the Chinese team, hoping that Wang Dalong would only play half the game, not the whole game. Friendlies really can't test the true level of a team. The Chinese team has always played friendly matches, but it has never won against any strong teams in the real arena. He understood that Lippi wanted to see the role of Wang Dalong, but at the same time he thought that Lippi was taking risks. Even he is intentionally or unintentionally reducing Wang Dalong's appearance time, all to protect Wang Dalong.
Of course, Wang Dalong is Chinese, and it is impossible to prevent him from playing in the national team.
As for Wang Dalong himself, he is actually looking forward to playing against Italy, Italy claims to have the best defensive system in the world, and it is not quite exciting to challenge Italy's defense?
Bonucci told him that he would greet him with his teammates in the Italian national team at that time, and he would definitely not let him score, which made Wang Dalong full of expectations, if he could lead the Chinese team to win Italy, then he would definitely be able to enhance the confidence of his teammates in the national team.
※※※※
In the blink of an eye, the second leg of the Europa League is here.
The day before, the Champions League kicked off first, with Juventus knocking out Tottenham Hotspur away from home thanks to Gonzalo Higuain's brace and successfully advancing to the quarter-finals, while Roma, like Parma, were played together that night.
The Champions League has attracted most people's attention, but Parma's Europa League is as eye-catching as the Champions League.
There are many CSKA fans who come from afar, all saying that Russia's economy is sluggish, but the enthusiasm of Russian fans to watch the game has not diminished in the slightest, and there are not many Parma fans who went to Moscow last week.
Guedes made a false alarm and eventually saw their names in the starting line-up, and they remain one of Crespo's most trusted players.
"I don't mean to play well this time and become a substitute completely." Crespo found the two of them to chat separately before the game. That being said, I wonder if it's just intimidation?
Of course, this gift is more of a surprise and encouragement.
A well-staffed Parma returned to their home turf and, without making a mistake, they could think of no reason not to take CSKA.
Spinach is bullish on Parma this time, letting the one-goal handicap speak for itself, and it seems that the Parma team that terrified their opponents is back.
CSKA coach Slutsky said stiffly at the pre-match press conference: "CSKA should let there be no suspense in the first leg, although this game is away, but CSKA's style of play is tough, and it will not make Parma comfortable." At this time, there is actually no difference between home and away, and Parma is just a paper tiger. ”
He described Parma as a paper tiger, shouldn't he be a sick horse? Saying this is certainly an attempt to give his players confidence, but it also stimulates Parma's players.
In the knockout stage of the cup, there are many factors of chance, and sometimes the influence of home and away factors is really not that important. If you are not strong, even if there are 100,000 fans shouting next to you, it is useless, the key is to see whether the players can play on the field and whether they can implement the tactics of the manager.
Wang Dalong also attended the pre-match press conference, and when the reporter mentioned Slutsky's paper tiger, Wang Dalong responded-for-tat, "They are a paper tiger, if we can't win this game, I will strip naked and parade on Parma Street!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the press conference instantly boiled.
Why do these words sound so familiar, where do you seem to have heard them? Stripping naked and cruising the streets of Palma Street? Many reporters couldn't remember where they were or when they heard it, but that didn't affect their interest in Wang Dalong's poisonous oath.
This is Chi Guoguo's telling opponent that Parma will definitely win and advance to the round of 16.
If other Parma players say this, everyone can listen to it as a joke, but from Wang Dalong's mouth? That's a lot of power, and that's the charm of a star.
Just like Messi and Ronaldo also have the courage and strength to confidently say such things and then put them into practice!
