Chapter 23: Ranieri Chooses Someone
*****
After a romantic Christmas, Iroh and the little black couple put the reluctant Sharapova on a flight back to Moscow, after all, both are athletes and are on the rise in their careers, especially Sharapova, and Iro doesn't want to affect her.
In fact, the biggest reason is that Sharapova's agent father is about to blow up her mobile phone.
Sending Sharapova away, Ielo was a loner again, and before the youth team had even a training camp, he could only conduct boring shooting drills in the system.
And so, 2005 was ushered in.
After a few games before the winter break, Iello is now an absolute mainstay of Valencia's youth team, and if there is a demand for the team, it is the captains Albiol and David. Silva is even more important.
And the fame is due to its own efforts, as well as Valencia sports newspaper Enrique. Wien's report proclaimed that the Valencian region had gone from being unknown to being famous.
Spring is a great start for many, but not for Valencia coach Claudio Ranieri, who has been winless for five games since the end of the 04-05 La Liga winter break, but the team has a good table in the first half of the season, surging all the way to third place in the league, and only after the winter exhaustion period has only stretched to nine points with second place.
The misfortune is not a single line, but what is even more unfortunate is that in the last round of the league, two generals were injured in a row, the main left winger Vicente and the forward Aimall, counting the previously injured Angulo and Kulo. Torres, Barreja, Bernardo. Corradi, I don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked when I see it, there are only five people left in the midfield!
Five! This is still counting Mohammed, who was transferred from the youth team at the beginning of the second half of the season. Sissoko.
Although Ranieri is famous and nicknamed the tinkerer, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! If there are no players, what can be made up? And the winter transfer window has long since closed, so Ranieri thinks of the youth team, or more precisely, of a certain youth team player.
Ranieri seems to be the spokesperson of Ctrip in the future, Ctrip is in hand, and he will go! Pulling up his assistant Benetti, he walked to the youth team's training ground.
******
While Ielo and David Silva were concentrating on running and passing, two men walked in from the other side of the training ground.
Their arrival caused a commotion on the sidelines.
After Ilo received the ball, he passed the ball to David Silva who ran in a 'pre-position', and he ran to the previous 'predetermined' position, ready to receive the ball, but when the position ran into place, he found that the football did not pass, and Iroh frowned slightly and looked at David Silva a little dissatisfied.
Iroh followed David Silva's gaze, only to find that David Silva was not the only one who turned his head to look in that direction, but everyone but himself - all looked over, and their eyes were full of excitement! When Iroh saw that it was the first-team manager Ranieri, his eyes were full of excitement!
When first-team manager Claudio Ranieri arrived on the sidelines with his assistant Benetti, everyone stopped training.
The first team are rumoured to have been plagued by injuries of late and are winless in five games. There are even rumours that the first team can't even make up an 18-man squad.
Not surprisingly, Ranieri came to the youth team this time to find someone to fill the first team vacancy!
Thinking of this, all the members of the youth team became excited again.
What do the youth team members train hard for every day? Isn't it about joining the first team to play in the official league? If you're lucky, you might even be able to participate in the coveted European Champions Cup!
At this moment, Airo's voice came from Xiaomeng's head, "Urgent mission, find an excuse to go to the toilet and enter the system!" ”
Under the pretext of urgency, Iroh ran to the toilet.
With a snap of his fingers, Xiaomeng appeared, took Iroh into the system, and couldn't wait to click 'Urgent Mission'
Urgent mission: The first team is winless in five rounds, Ranieri's men are full of injuries, come to the youth team to select players to fill the first team, and the host must join the first team!
Reward: 500 XP, 1 attribute
(Note: If you fail to join the first team, your level will be cleared!) )
Seeing the above task rewards, Iro's saliva flowed out, 500 experience points, you can upgrade to one level again! can see the back, if you fail to join the first team, the level is cleared, the egg hurts a little, and turns to ask Xiaomeng, "How can there be a punishment for mission failure?" ”
Xiaomeng glanced at her mouth, "Hmph! And he turned his head to the side.
When Iroh was about to 'turn himself in' for his actions three months ago with trepidation, he heard Pison shouting at him, quitting the system, and answered, saying that he had a little diarrhea, and the two of them ran quickly to the training ground.
Seeing that everyone was leaning over, Antonio López turned to his assistant Juan Pizzi and said, "Let's have a match." ”
What does that mean?
I guess even a fool knows.
******
Soon, with the red and yellow vests on both sides, the fierce youth team match began just after Juan Pizzi's whistle.
It's just that no one noticed that Ranieri's eyes were always focused on one person's appearance.
Everyone did their best and was motivated, for fear of missing the opportunity to make a bad impression on Ranieri.
Iello was very excited, and after the start of the match, he kept running in front, running very aggressively, and frequently dropping back to catch the ball, seeking to cooperate with David Silva, but the effect seemed to be very bad.
Because they are all teammates who train together, they all know that Iroh and David Silva have a tacit understanding and often work together, so the level of prevention against the two is the highest! You want to break through? Yes! It's just that the ball is allowed to pass, but people can't pass, you have to cooperate? It's okay, but I'll cut you off!
There was no way to go on like this, so Ielo took advantage of the dead ball to pull Silva and Albiol, and said to Silva: "David, we need to get a little closer, pay attention to meet me nearby, I will break through!" As if thinking of what might happen later, he turned to Raul Albiol and said, "Also, take care of the space behind us."
After finishing speaking, the three of them high-fived and plunged into the fierce competition again.
Seeing that the three of them were getting closer, Antonio off the field. Lopez frowned when he saw it, shook his head and said secretly, although it is good to strengthen the connection, but there are too few people on the other side of the direct guide, if they are transferred to fight the counterattack on the other side.
Ranieri, who was next to him, didn't think so, but nodded with satisfaction: this is a player who can use his head.
After a while, it verified Antonio López's idea, after Ailo broke through the two, the last step of the ball was a big mistake in the guide, after being cut off by the opponent's central defender, he didn't stop the ball and went directly to the midfielder, and then the midfielder shifted with a big foot, because there were too many people on the left side of the side, and there was only one right-back on the right side of the guide, so in the end, the goalkeeper Asenhuo was brave and saved this single goal.
This accident brought David Silva back to his place, and because the two sides were too familiar with each other, the game slowly returned to a scorching state, and it was normal for people to turn their backs.
Seeing that the game was so chaotic on the field, Ranieri, who had been watching the match in a low-key manner on the sidelines, frowned, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the 22 people on the field!
Just when Ranieri wanted to express his dissatisfaction, the yellow side, that is, Elo's side, when defending the corner, Albiol pushed the football out of the penalty area, probably because of good luck, the second drop point of the football flew in front of Silva, and after receiving the ball, he saw Ailo accelerate and run forward, Silva did not hesitate, kicked the bottom of the football with his left foot, and the football obediently flew to the left.
It was a long ball with a considerable amount of advance, but Silva frowned as the ball flew out, feeling as if it had been overforced.
But Eloco didn't care about it, because he knew that this might be the only chance to shine!
It's better to meet than to be famous!
It's fast!!
Ranieri exclaimed.
Attaboy!
It's too late for Andy to chase back at this point, because his speed is much slower than Iroh, and the previous defensive success was because Iroh was pulled down before he could pick up speed, so this didn't happen. This is different, the red side attacks the corner, and the normal tactics of the full-back are to pull in and defend the opponent to counterattack.
At this time, Iroh is like a wild horse on the loose, and like a tiger out of the cage, the frequency of his feet waving is getting more and more, accelerating and accelerating again!
"This kid is running really fast, like playing a ball in a Lamborghini," Ranieri exclaimed Iello's speed, with a proper amount of humor.
Seeing that the football was about to fly out of the sideline, Iroh kicked forward with the toe of his left foot, the whole person flew in mid-air, his right foot hung in front, his arms were raised to maintain balance, his right ankle wrapped the football tightly, and at the same time his right foot fell with the fall of the football.
"What a strong explosiveness! Estimated to be faster than Vicente? Ranieri's assistant Benetti watched the scene and couldn't help but compare it to Vicente, the fastest left winger in the first team.
The red goalkeeper Barn looked at Iroh and 'killed' at high speed with the ball, and at the same time aimed at the corner of his eye, the closest defensive teammates to Iroh were still three meters away, which is still a conservative estimate!
But - time waits for no one!
Can't wait!
Let out a "roar" and strengthen your courage
Abandon the door and attack!
Iroh saw Bath who had abandoned the goal, smiled, slowed down his dribbling speed, and when Bath crossed the penalty spot, he suddenly remembered that this guy liked to shoot the most! I was afraid that it was too late to turn back, so I could only grit my teeth and speed up towards Iro.
At the moment when Barn hesitated, Arlo got up, touched the bottom of the football with his toes, and the ball flew up obediently, jumped high around Barn's hands, landed a meter in front of the goal, and then bounced into the goal.
After watching this goal, Ranieri already knew that he had gained something this time, and there was no need to watch it, so he called Antonio López, and left the youth team's training ground with his assistant Benetti in advance after a few words!
Iroh jumps high and swings his right fist!
Ranieri is gone, so there is no need for the matchup to continue, so Juan. Pizzi blew the whistle immediately.
Looking at Ranieri, who left early, the youth team players did not come back to their senses for a long time.
