Chapter 148: Dead Silence Intermission
The 22 members of the team, 18 players and 11 players, including the goalkeeper who was sent off, Wittmar, all stood in front of Coach Kork, with their heads bowed as if they were sweeping graves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 There was no sound in the info locker room, even the usually funny Lyubyankić was silenced - that's natural, Lyubyankic was almost one of the worst performers today. Many of the balls were counter-attacked because they were lost there, and in addition, his ineffective attack also led to the Dutchman's unbridled attack. But being beaten to 0:4 at halftime, it was not only the responsibility of Ljubiyankic alone, it must be the problem of the whole team......
Including me......
No one dared to make a little noise at this time, and Coach Cork wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He stretched out his hand and waved it in the sky, but no one knew what he was trying to mean...... He couldn't say a word......
That feeling of dead silence, that feeling of the end of the world, was transmitted in the dressing room in Slovenia. There is no morale, there is no strength, there is nothing that looks promising. Not only is it a big score behind, but it is also 10 to 11, and in the second half, I really don't know what kind of fate will be......
Suddenly, a strange laugh came from the corner—
The laughter only came softly, then faded away. It's quiet, but there's no sound in the locker room, so everyone can still hear it very clearly!
"Andelkovich! At this time, you can still laugh?! Cesar yelled angrily.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was wrong......"
Andelkovic knew he had made a low-level mistake at the wrong time...... Although he didn't play today because of a cold, Kilm took his place, but when the whole team was seriously reflecting, he was looking at his phone, and he happened to see a funny joke - so he was angry at the wrong time, although he didn't play, but poor him was blamed by everyone!
"Enough! At such a time, why are you still talking nonsense here! "Coach Cork finally spoke.
His eyebrows twitched and moved, indicating that he was genuinely angry. Although Slovenia is not a strong team, it is at least a European powerhouse that has reached the World Cup, and now that it is beaten like this by the Dutch team, the pressure on Coach Koke must be too great for us to imagine...... He may not have encountered a few such big defeats in his life, and it was only at halftime that he could already make a final decision on the outcome of the coffin, this feeling is really bad......
I walked up to Coach Cork and said to him, "I'm sorry...... I didn't defend well and let Sneijder and Robben take what they wanted, and that's all my responsibility...... Coach Cork, please ...... Let's plan the tactics for the second half...... It doesn't matter if you take me off......"
"If I have someone to replace, then I will definitely replace. However, there is no one to change your place. Now all you have to do is give me a good second half. This game is already like this, and now, your most important task is not to attack, not to defend, but to avoid cards! Our next game is against Luxembourg, this one is a game that must be won, if you are suspended because of this game, if you lose the next game, you will really become a sinner...... "Now the big score is behind, so that Coach Cork is also in a very bad mood, he is usually very good to me, this time he spoke, he used such a heavy tone. I suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, and I felt fear in my heart for the first time......
Coach Cork cleared his throat and finally spoke in front of all the players:
"Guys, this is the toughest time for us in Slovenia's history, we were 4-0 down to the Netherlands in the first half and we have one less player because of the red card. This is a great experience in our lives, and we must carry it through. Even if we can't come back in the second half, we have to try to keep the score from expanding. If we were to have the biggest defeat in Slovenia's history, we would not be able to account for our country, and our football-loving children would have a shadow over their hearts. In this way, our Slovenian children will not like football more and more in the future, and there will be fewer and fewer children who choose football. This will be a devastating blow to Slovenian football. So we can't keep conceding more goals, we have to defend well and we have to keep the Dutchman out of our goal! I won't make any substitutions in the second half because of an accident in the first half, we have already made two substitutions, and this precious substitution in the second half should be used to prevent the possibility of injury. So, at the beginning of the second half, we will fight the opponent with the current lineup, and we will fall like a warrior, not die like a coward! ”
"But is there any hope for us all like this......" Ljubiyankic said with a sad face.
Since taking over as head coach of our national team, Coach Kork has been known for his impassioned speeches, his provocative drive, and his ability to always give us great morale. However, this time, at a huge disadvantage, even Coach Koke's best speech has lost its effect...... Such sorrow is worse than death!
Not to mention, we're going to have to play again and endure a full 45 minutes of torture!
In the locker room, there was once again a deathly silence.
It's time and we've got to play.
We saw in the tunnel that the Dutchman walked out of the tunnel with a relaxed expression, and Sneijder even smiled and teased Van Persie. In contrast, our team's complexion is much more ugly...... Is this the difference between the winners and the losers...... Such a morale contrast, how can we ...... Be able to have confidence and hold on in the second half!
When we walked out of the stadium, an even bigger challenge came! When the Dutch fans saw the Dutch team play, the whole audience chanted, which was deafening! In contrast, the Slovenian fan camp, which is already a small number, is demoralized, no one shouts, and even the team flag has been crooked and no one has held it up.
Do we really want to ...... Is it time to lose and wait...... (To be continued.) )
