Chapter 58 Ways to Reduce Stress
The team's continuous defensive problems were actually expected by the coaching staff. With the departure of several important players, Castilla's passing advantage in midfield is no longer as dominant as before. Statistics show that in the presence of Enzo and the other three, the team can average 59% possession in games, compared to 49% in the last two games, a drop of 10%. This gives the opposition more opportunities to attack the Castile defence, which is notoriously untestable. The two wings, like the first team, are outstanding representatives of the strong and weak in attack; The central defender position is not only far inferior to the big brother of the first team, but also inferior to the average of the second division B in terms of speed and strength.
Now that we've found the root cause of the problem, the next thing to do is how to close the hole. Combined with the characteristics of the existing players, compared with La Zuo, Lin Liangming's strength is team cooperation, and his weakness is personal breakthrough; Compared with Odegaard, although Fabas is far inferior in passing and dribbling skills and imagination, it is very comprehensive in all aspects and has no obvious shortcomings; The difference between Kuchi and Enzo has been mentioned before, the former is like a Maverick, unlike the latter who can command the whole team.
At this stage, there is Mbappe, so the 4-2-3-1 formation is still more suitable for the team, but the tactical play is no longer suitable for Li Mudi's previous comprehensive passing and control, but into a fast and flexible attacking system closer to the Real Madrid first team, the midfielder no longer pursues possession too much, but hands the ball to several players in the front as soon as possible, using their excellent individual ability to create opportunities. When the Frenchman leaves, the team will change the formation to 4-4-2, allowing the left and right wingers to drop back a bit, leaving plenty of space at the edge of the box for Kuchi to play at will. In the words of offensive coach Pozo, Lee is using Kuchi as Castilian's plum king.
After playing the league against Rioya, the team's rest day for the second day was canceled in disguise, and now the atmosphere of the whole team is a little too tense, especially the several players in the back line are under great pressure, and the psychiatrist who is resident at the club advises to adjust their mentality as soon as possible, otherwise there is a possibility of collapse. The coaching staff decided to use the day to do a group activity to let everyone relax and not tighten the string in their heads too much.
Early on Monday morning, all 27 players on the current Castile rotation list, plus the ineligible third goalkeeper Cranionkos, took the various gifts that had been prepared before, and led the entire coaching staff to a children's welfare home on the outskirts of Madrid. At this time, it was still in the first month of the Celestial Empire, and Li Mudi chose a theme to celebrate the New Year for this love activity, and everyone wore very festive clothes. Since it is the Year of the Monkey, there are many little monkey dolls among the gifts prepared by the players, and there is even the existence of the national idol Monkey King, which has been greatly loved by the children.
After helping the orphanage to clean up some damaged tables and chairs, the players accompanied the children to play various games in the backyard. It was supposed to be activities such as swinging, skipping rope, and playing house, but I didn't know who took out a football, so the yard instantly turned into a game of more than 100 people chasing the ball. In the grass field without goals and borders, young men in their twenties pretended to run behind a large group of children under the age of ten, trying to grab the ball flying among the children, and everyone's face was filled with a bright smile like the morning sun, and this heavenly beautiful picture was recorded with meticulous precision by the cameras on the side.
Why are there cameras? Because after learning about the event, Gines immediately used his connections to contact two television stations and newspapers, and asked each other to do a free promotion for Castile and Li Mudi by providing exclusive news. Although Li Moody was very disgusted with the charity event as a show, in addition to him, the rest of the club's staff, including the chairman Mr. Francisco, were very much in favor of Gines's approach, and Li Moody asked his agent, "Are we sincerely giving love to the orphanage and the children?" If yes, why are you afraid of being known? After that, he felt speechless, so he had to agree to follow two large cameras behind him at all times.
After several coaches and players in the team who are quite skilled cooks made a few delicacies for the children, the welfare home love activity came to an end for the time being. Everyone didn't stay here for lunch, after all, the team was a bit large, and the amount of food was much larger than that of children, and eating in the welfare home would cause a lot of trouble for the other party.
After leaving the welfare home, the Castile staff took a car directly to the commercial street in the center of the city, lunch was solved in the car, and the players were a special "healthy beef sandwich" made in the canteen, which was also absolutely delicious, and there was no taste at all. The uncles of the coaching staff don't have to suffer that kind of sin, and can enjoy the burgers and pizzas beautifully, getting the lads a roll of the eyes and saliva.
The next place the team will go to is the game hall, and after leaving the welfare home, the staff of the TV station and newspaper office have left, so everyone can have more freedom to play. What is the favorite entertainment of the hairy boys who have not yet become stars, it is nothing more than video games, KTV, and nightclubs. Except for the preference of the last one, Li Mudi has no way to satisfy them, and the first two are today's key projects.
As soon as they entered the arcade in the basement of this large mall, all the lads were so happy. When the previous coaches led the team, the team's training tasks were not heavy, and most of them were comprehensive training for about three and a half hours in the afternoon. And since the head coach of the Celestial Empire took office, he has added the morning to the training plan, which adds up to five or six hours of training a day, which makes the boys accumulate a lot of resentment and fatigue. This opportunity to be released once and for all is indeed a very happy benefit.
In Li Mudi's impression, the dance machine, which has always been a girl's favorite, has become the most popular game among the players, but they all have physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, and it is not too difficult to catch the beat quickly and accurately, but the movements are completely aesthetically devoid, and all kinds of crappy dance steps that are low to the extreme make the onlookers laugh, almost to the point of laughter. The other players in the store recognized the Castillian team members and Limdy's unique oriental face, and after seeking a few group photos, they also joined the crowd and joked together.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so hot, Li Mudi held a temporary dance machine competition after a brief discussion with the store manager who came to visit, and the jury composed of O'Lelana, a physical trainer who thinks he is very artistic, plus Li Mudi and the store manager, made additional scores in addition to the game console score. In the end, there will be a game score champion and a champion who dances the best, if the ordinary player wins, he will get a voucher jackpot from the game hall, if one of the players wins, the reward can be exchanged for a medium value gift on the podium, and it can also act as a "king" in the afternoon KTV, which can order anyone to do anything not too excessive.
The game became extremely hot under the humorous guidance of the temporary host Solari. After seeing the very professional dance steps of some players, and then looking at the Castilla players' funny awkward dances like robots starved of oil, everyone burst into laughter, and O'Lelana even gave the team's living treasure Abnell a minus 10 points with a serious face, thinking that he insulted the eyes and hearts of everyone present, and made Li Muddy almost fall off the chair. Jesús Angel, the team's head of the team doctor, who had been acting as the team's cameraman behind him, also bent over with laughter, tears almost streaming down his face.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the game hall, and everyone was having a good time, and at the same time, the physical strength was almost exhausted. After taking the elevator to the top floor of the same building, everyone began to pick up the sushi rolls and water they had purchased at the supermarket on the first floor to replenish their energy and water.
There are nearly forty people in this big group, and there is no room in the KTV that can accommodate so many people at the same time, but four adjacent large private rooms were found. Although there is no way to get together, although it is a pity, there is also an advantage, that is, when there is no need to sing alone, the rest of the thirty or so people are waiting, and in the time of five minutes of one song, three hours is not enough for each person to sing once.
In order to connect the people in the four rooms, Li Mudi still proposed a singer competition, and the four private rooms were regarded as the primary selection venues, and one was selected to enter the final finals, and the last four people competed for the championship, and the score was calculated according to the score played by the machine. Poker is used as a lottery prop, a suit represents a private room, there is no upper limit on the number of people in each room, it is all up to luck, if you are lucky enough, you may only compete with three or four opponents for a place. When everyone acted as a gambling god and drew cards in various tricks, Li Mudi called the lobby manager and asked the staff to raise the scoring standard of the KTV machine, he didn't want anyone to open his mouth to get more than 90 or even 100 points, and he had to play extra after a draw, which was too wasteful of time.
When the machine was adjusted here, the boys were still peeking at each other's distribution results outside, and did not notice the specific situation, which led to the frequent "tragedies" that followed. Yáñez, who had always thought he was very talented at singing, was beaten by the machine for sixty-three points in the mouth, and his teammates loudly ridiculed him for his vocal cords growing into the esophagus, but it didn't take long for everyone to be proud, and then the scores of others broke the sky. Forty-nine, thirty-five, twenty-eighth, Peperu's famous song "My Sun" was scored an astonishing sixteen points! The friends in the other private rooms who were happy to hear the news almost peed, and the goalkeeper coach Roberto Vazquez even laughed and squirted beer out of his nose when he saw the score on the screen.
Solari summoned the staff to find out that this room had made a mistake in adjusting the difficulty of the rating just now, and it was directly made to the most severe level, and it is said that even some professional singers are difficult to get more than 80 points at this level. This episode once again caused everyone to laugh wildly, other people's misfortune is their own luck, so the members of the Castilla team Twitter and Instagram have been updated, all kinds of strange scores and videos accompanied by laughter have been posted on the Internet, and it has become a very hot topic.
Li Mudi, who proposed the "bad idea" of raising the difficulty of the rating, was complained by the ten players and coaches in this private room, and in the face of public anger, the culprit who had laughed so much before hurriedly and solemnly expressed regret - just like his motherland, he condemned the other gloating guys, and finally saw that he couldn't escape, so he blew two bottles of Carlsberg on the bottle, and barely managed to get them.
