Grandma Bingxin once said that the times create heroes.

The so-called heroes should turn the tide and help the building to fall.

There are countless players who play well when the team is on the wind, but few of them can become the idols of the fans.

Only those who stand up in times of crisis and drag the team out of the abyss with their own strength are the superstars that people worship.

A player who has never been a savior, even if he was once a Golden Boot or a Silver Boot, will soon be forgotten, just as on that Istanbul night in 2005, people only remember Gerrard's shocking strike, who will remember Crespo's two equally wonderful goals before him?

Underneath every superstar, there is a pile of corpses that have become stepping stones.

Once the success is done, the same sentence applies to the football field.

The football stadium is a more brutal place than the battlefield, where you can choose to fight again, but you will die on the penalty spot on the football field.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

So when the Pavia Boys are in a desperate situation, they desperately want a superman-like hero to step up and lead them into battle.

This character doesn't do what he thinks, it has to be their core, Descartes. Mondillo.

That's what it takes to be a core player.

This is another test for Descartes. If he succeeds, it means that he not only has talent, but also has the heart to become a superstar; If he fails, his past exploits will likely be forgotten, and people will only point to his back and whisper: "You see, this is the core of that weak team, the guy who was easily taken by our Milan team." ”

Even if his teammates didn't expect anything from him, Descartes would never allow that to happen to him.

So he took a deep breath and prepared to face the next match with two hundred percent of his strength.

You want to trap me with a wall of copper? Then I'll smash them all with a sledgehammer!

Descartes was not much of a power player, and apart from his strong will, his physicality can only be described as average.

He doesn't have the speed of the wind, he doesn't have dazzling dribbles, and his greatest strength lies in his clear head and ability to handle football reasonably.

Don't underestimate this "reasonable" ability to handle football, there are very few players with such talent in the football world.

Some players may occasionally have a flash of inspiration on the pitch and make amazing passes, but most of the time they don't handle the ball satisfactorily.

We often hear commentators lament in football broadcasts: "Oh, it's a shame that this ball is a pity, if he takes two fewer steps and gives it to the left, the opportunity will come out!" "Oops, this ball shouldn't be shot, how good his teammates are, you see, as long as they pass through, it's empty"......

Between "taking two steps less" and "passing through", it reflects the player's ability to handle football.

Those players who have the occasional flash of inspiration may become the main force of a team, but they will never become superstars, such as Real Madrid's Guti.

The "Golden Wolf" can sometimes wear passes that even Qi Bald feels amazing, but most of the time, his passing is not even his own teammates, so neither Capello nor Bosque dare to make him the core of Real Madrid, because his ability to handle football is very unstable.

On the contrary, Guti's teammate Qi Bald has this most important point that he does not have.

People often only see Qi Bald's beautiful Marseille slalom and astonishing volleys, but few people can realize that the reason why Qi Bald can become a world-class midfielder does not rely on his Marseille maneuver every game, he relies on his stable ability to hold the ball and handle the ball.

Fans who follow Qi Bald can easily see that when Qi Bald gets the ball, he rarely gets tackled, even if he is caught by two or three opponents, but the ball is always stuck to his feet, or in the gap that no one notices, he passes it to his teammates.

Football rarely freezes or mistakes at his feet, most of the time, you watch his passing, it will feel pleasing to the eye, as if you are playing a PS game, looking at the pitch from a 45-degree angle in the air, you will find that the football goes to the place where it should appear most.

This is the reason why Qi Bald became one of the best players in the world at that time.

There aren't many other players with this quality, Nedved, who has never been praised for his skills, and Davis, who looks like a little boar, actually have this ability.

They rarely concede a goal in a game, and even in the face of opposition, they can always find a route that you never thought of and send the football out in time.

Therefore, the tactics of using bags and traps against such players are not very effective.

Nedved was able to become the core of Juventus' midfield and successfully took over Zidane's gun, relying not only on being able to run and grab, but also on the ability to handle key balls is one of the most important reasons.

And now Descartes is on the road to this superstardom.

Because he seems to have a natural instinct for handling football, he can always send it where it should be, with or without seeing his teammates.

At times, Mr. Mankaard even thinks that the midfielder is the most suitable position for Descartes.

However, in this way, his keen sense of smell and superb shooting skills in the penalty area were wasted.

It's really a blissful annoyance.

Perhaps this is what people often say, God always opens a window to let you breathe in order to close the door.

Descartes' physical condition was the biggest obstacle to continuing to play, but his talent meant that he was born to belong on the field.

The distance between him and the professional players is only 45 minutes of physical strength.

After getting used to the crazy boxing tactics that his opponents used against him, Descartes' talent was finally fully developed, and he was transformed from a good striker to a "super" playmaker.

The AC Milan Juniors defence looked airtight, but Descartes didn't believe in it, and he attacked the opposition defence again and again, trying to find their holes.

His efforts quickly paid off, as their four midfielders were pressed in a straight line at the edge of the box due to Milan's overly conservative retreat.

This kind of defense may seem like a direct protection for the backline, but it is often easy for people to break through two layers of defense and cause the whole to be chiseled.

The player who is best at breaking through such a defense is the later Messi.

In many of Messi's wonderful goal highlights, you can often see such a picture: two defenders stand in front of Messi one after the other, but he suddenly stepped forward in the high-speed dribble, directly erasing the first defender who was caught off guard, and the player behind him suddenly found himself in a very awkward position at this time: pounce forward, with the frequency and speed of Messi's feet, it is bound to be passed; Step back, with the goal and the goalkeeper behind you, Messi's shot is not vegetarian.

And when they hesitate, Messi often changes direction slightly and lives them cleanly.

In this kind of reel, people tend to think that those defenders look silly, and they don't even react when they are passed, but how do they know that things on the pitch are changing rapidly, and they have already been passed before they have made a decision, and what kind of reaction do you tell them to make?

Therefore, the two-tier defense line does not mean that it is as stable as a mountain, on the contrary, only a reasonable mismatch defense can bring depth and give your teammates time to react.

Uncle Bird, who was later criticized for "taking conservative football to the extreme", is such a defensive expert.

His team never had a straight line of defence, and even if he had a back three, he had to make sure that one or both of the midfielders were up front and the other one or two were dragged back, so that their defensive position was always in a triangle.

This triangular defensive body shape not only ensures a close connection between players, but also cuts off the opponent's passing route as much as possible, so that the opponent's range of movement is greatly compressed.

In fact, this is also the essence of Italian chain football.

People often say chain defense, chain defense, but what exactly is chain defense? Compressing space, blocking layer by layer, this is chain defense.

The Milan teenagers, perhaps because they put too much emphasis on defense, directly conceded the territory 40 meters in front of the penalty area, so that both defences were compressed into that short 40-meter area.

In this way, although it can rely on the advantage of numbers to gain a defensive advantage, it also allows the Pavia Junior team to calmly organize the attack in the opponent's half.

At this time, the Milan junior team also strengthened the defense against Descartes, not only did a full-time defensive midfielder follow him closely, no matter where he went, there would always be another Milan player to help the defense, and at least one player would cut off his forward pass.

However, the space on the pitch is three-dimensional, and no one can completely block all the passing routes of the opponent.

I can't go underground, so I can always go in the air, right?

Isn't a 45-degree cross the most frequently used tactic in football?

And no one wants you to go underground.

So Descartes ran to the two ribs of Milan and began to move, because the number of Pavia players who pressed through the half was obviously more than in the first half, and his route to the ball became much more, so in these ten minutes, he gradually began to feel at ease, receiving and passing the ball more and more frequently, and the difference was just a good pass.

With 26 minutes into the second half, the opportunity finally appeared in front of Descartes.

After a series of links at his own right-back, Descartes was able to secure a gap in the corner of the penalty area, and apart from the Milan defender who had been following him, another Milan defender was pulled away by his team-mate.

Descartes flickered nimbly to create a gap for a pass, and before the Milan midfielder could make up for it, he delivered a tricky half-high ball.

The ball swirled behind the Milan back line, but it was just out of reach of the opposing goalkeeper, which made the Milan players feel embarrassed, and Liverard, who had been hiding in the middle of the Milan back line, keenly seized the opportunity: his header was light, and the ball obediently flew into the door of the Milan team.

After the goal, Liverard was so excited that he didn't have time to celebrate with Descartes, ran straight into the opponent's door to scoop the ball out, and then trotted back to the halfway line.

It wasn't until Descartes came back that Riverard gave a thumbs-up and smiled at Descartes: "Good Descartes, two more times, and we can equalize." ”

Descartes laughed: "Two times is enough, our goal is victory." ”

Milan then kicked the ball off and after a series of passes, once again poured the ball back to the back.

The Pavia Juniors pressed hard and the situation was back to what it had been a few minutes ago.

Even if the Milan Juniors conceded a goal, they still had the advantage of two goals in their hands and did not panic, and although the Pavia Juniors wanted to score as soon as possible, they had no better way to face Milan's ironclad defense.
