Chapter Twenty-Five: The Footsteps of the New Season

Vazquez's undisguised "hugging his thighs" made Adrian and Griezmann angry, and at the same time unstoppable contempt.

"Why don't you pass me the ball, I've just run out of space!"

Adrian questioned Vázquez.

"My chances are better, I've gotten out of space!"

Vázquez replied firmly.

"Then why did you pass the ball to Qin again?"

"Because when I was about to hit the goal, I saw Qin running over, and if I passed the ball, it would be an empty goal. An empty goal is less difficult to score than a single goal! ”

For Vazquez's answer, Adrian and the others knelt down directly.

It's not okay to be unconvinced, this kind of naked, shameful and proud hugging of the thigh, can still be said so justifiably, and it is impossible to refute it, can this Nima not be convinced?

In the face of everyone's disdainful looks, Vázquez did not care at all.

I just want to pass the ball to Qin, I just want to create a chance for Qin to shoot and score, what can you do to me? Qin is the first brother of the team, I will have a good relationship with him, even if you are dissatisfied, what can you say? Am I alone? I'm not alone, I pass the ball. Am I selfish? I'm not selfish, I've left better opportunities to my teammates.

Ahem, of course, I pass the ball to just ...... Qin.

In fact, Vázquez is really a very intelligent player, both in terms of being a person and doing things. As a man, he will first have a good relationship with the most important person in the team, after all, he is a player, and the way to make a good relationship is very simple, just need to keep making balls for each other on the court - anyway, the core of the team is Qin Shou, he just wants to make balls for Qin Shou, and no one can say anything.

As for doing things, his style of play is really special, and he can rush and rush. Can you still ...... Ahem, it comes with attributes and creates penalties.

Simeone couldn't laugh or cry off the pitch. But he couldn't say anything, Vazquez played really well, and he became more and more proficient in cooperating with the team, and he could also establish a tacit understanding with Qin Shou. And after he rushed left and right, he was able to find an opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates...... Ahem, the teammates here are only referring to Qin Shou alone.

After this warm-up game, Simeone approached Vazquez and subtly reminded him that he hoped he could be more integrated with the whole team. The secret meaning is that it's nothing for you to pass the ball to Qin Shou, but it's too nonsense for you to pass the ball to him alone, you are a player of Atletico Madrid. It's not just Qin Shou's assistant, you should put the interests of the team first.

After the game, Qin Shou also found Vazquez. He's not a coach, and he has a good relationship with the big guys, so he said it very directly, telling Vázquez that he appreciates his pass, but if he or other teammates have a better chance, he hopes that Vazquez will still give the football to his teammates at the right time.

Facing the opinions of head coach Simeone and Qin Shou, the two "big guys" of the team. Vazquez nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would pay attention to his play. Correcting deficiencies.

Outcome...... In the third game against Championship side Leicester City, Vázquez made another mistake with his old mistakes.

The start of this game was very smooth, even if it was still half a substitute and half the main force, and there were problems such as the lack of tacit cooperation between the new players and the old players, but the midfield played very orderly under Qin Shou's scheduling. There is not much disorder.

Just eight minutes into the first half, Atletico Madrid took the lead at home.

It was Qin Shou who scored the goal, and it was ...... who assisted him Uh, well, or Vázquez.

Vazquez formed a break down the right flank. After changing lines in succession, he rushed to the edge of the right penalty area. At this time, Adrian and Griezmann were already outflanked in the box, and there were two points in front of goal, and if Vazquez passed the ball, Atletico had a good chance of scoring.

But Vazquez didn't choose to cross first, he rubbed it for a while, and then passed the ball to the top of the box in an inverted triangle line.

Qin Shou just ran to this position, in fact, he just subconsciously ran forward, more if the football did not score, he could quickly devote himself to the second attack. So when the ball rolled towards him quickly against the turf, he almost didn't react, and he didn't expect Vázquez to pass the ball to him.

Fortunately, Qin Shou's nervous reaction was indeed very fast, he raised his foot to meet the football is a furious shot, the football whistled, changed direction, and ran towards the direction of the goal against the turf, and finally drilled into the lower left corner of the goal.

"Shoot beautifully! Oooo ”

After the football entered the net, Vazquez ran over with a smile on his face and high-fived Qin Shou in celebration. Looking at his excited appearance, he seems to be happier than scoring a goal, and his teammates around him are all black lines.

Adrian and Griezmann scratched their heads in frustration, but they were speechless - they were all used to it, this Vazquez was really ...... Hug your thighs and hold out the level.

"Lucas ......"

Qin Shou called out so.

He was going to say, "What about the change that was promised?" But when I think about it, Vazquez's pass is really imaginative, although it is much more difficult and easy to be destroyed by the opponent, but if you pass it, it will really form a particularly good shooting opportunity. I can't even think of myself, let alone my opponent. Such a surprise has indeed received good results.

Vazquez looked at Qin Shou.

Qin Shou hesitated for a moment and replied, "Uh...... The ball was well passed. Thanks for the assist. ”

"Still shoot beautifully, Qin!" Vázquez smiled, then shook his head again and explained, "I saw you running up from behind, and without thinking too much, you passed the ball. I'll pay attention in the future, and if my teammates have a better chance, I'll take it. ”

Qin Shou had to praise Vazquez in his heart that he was a very smart player, he nodded, and didn't say anything more.

There are some things that are okay to say once or twice, but if you say too much, it will be annoying.

And Vázquez is not stupid, he knows very well that if he just hugs his thighs all the time, he will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among everyone if he turns a blind eye to his other teammates. The thighs still have to be hugged, but the feelings of his teammates also need to be considered, and as for how to balance the relationship between the two, it depends on his own means.

Vazquez also understood what Qin Shou meant, and nodded in the same way.

Vazquez was still active on the flanks and was arguably the quickest new signing to integrate into the team, and he was more skilful in midfield, so he created more chances.

He has indeed changed a lot, although he still makes more balls for Qin Shou, but his teammates have a bigger space and a better opportunity, and he will not hesitate to pass the football over.

It is precisely because of his active performance that Atletico Madrid scored two goals in the first half, scoring Carrasco and Gabi respectively, the former was in the penalty area to receive Vazquez's bottom line cross and head the goal, the latter was Vazquez broke through and knocked the football back to the middle, Qin Shou completed the last pass, and Gabi scored on the line of the penalty area.

These two goals are related to Vazquez, if it is the goal that assisted Qin Shou before, Vazquez already had two assists in the first half, and he planned once, such a performance is indeed amazing.

"This Lucas, really good...... Whether it's a breakthrough or a pass, it's very handy. I think he's different from a lot of Spanish players in that he has a more practical style of play, and he's very flexible and imaginative. ”

Simeone's assistant Boggs commented from the sidelines.

"It's really good, his style of play can bring more variety to the team's attacking approach. But......" Simeone nodded in agreement, then shook his head and smiled, "If he doesn't have outstanding characteristics, how can we spend so much money to bring him in?" Could it be that you really think it's his aura attribute? ”

“……”

Boggs glanced at his immediate boss, and the meaning of that gaze was obvious, wasn't it?

Simeone's face twitched twice, and he quickly turned his head to hide his embarrassment.

The first half ended with Atletico Madrid leading Leicester City 3-0, but in the second half, the visitors scored twice in the space of 10 minutes.

The two goals were scored by Leicester City's two strikers, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie. Jamie Vardy scored separately.

Simeone was impressed by the two strikers, especially Jamie Vardy, who was quick, had a keen sense of smell and was a natural goalkeeper.

He first got rid of Atletico's defenders on the line of the box and set up a goal for Riyad Mahrez, then received a pass from a team-mate, used his speed to force his way into the box, and fired a blast through Courtois's goal.

Watching him from receiving the ball, breaking through, and then shooting a whole set of movements, the connection is very fast and smooth, and it is a very confident feeling.

Simeone was a little surprised, he didn't expect a team that was not yet in the English top flight to have such a good player in the squad. This made his eyes flicker a few times, and he felt the urge to draw the player into his command.

The final result of this game is 3:2, the home team that scored three goals in the first half did not score a goal in the second half, Qin Shou and Gabi and other old players have been replaced in the midfield, since it is a practice, then more opportunities and time are still left for substitutes and new signings.

Although there is no success in the offense, the team has made significant progress after this period of running-in, although there are still many shortcomings, but as the run-in deepens, this deficiency will become smaller and smaller.

After scoring two goals in quick succession at the start of the second half, Leicester City didn't show much for the rest of the game and the game ended uneventfully.

However, after the game, Simeone vaguely offered his appreciation for their two strikers to Leicester City manager Ranieri, but Ranieri was strongly opposed, so he had to give up.

Simeone is just a whim, he can achieve it, he can't make it and it doesn't matter, and the strikers of Atletico Madrid are no worse than them.

With the end of the three warm-up matches, Atletico Madrid's pre-season preparations have come to an end, and the pace of the new La Liga season is getting closer and closer.
