Chapter 4 Point-grabbing striker
Walking into the dressing room, at half-time, Momo somehow felt that Peter Neulule was a little strange about his attitude.
In fact, there is a reason why Peter Neulule treated him like this, because he found that Momo's ability to grab points is very strong, don't underestimate this, you must know that there is a kind of striker called a point-grabbing striker.
Of course, there is also the saying that there is opportunism. But at that time, there was no clear concept of grabbing point forward, and the concept of grabbing point forward was clear after David Sergio Trezeguet, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Philippe Inzaghi, Luca Toney and other figures.
At this time, the formation of Hannover 96 is 1144, and the single arrow striker needs to have a good running position and grab the point awareness. Momo was favored by Peter Neluel before because of Momo's ability to grab points.
It's just that Momo didn't show this perfectly on the field, and in just ten minutes, Peter Neululer found Momo's ability to grab points and his running awareness is very good.
Although he is still very immature in dribbling and controlling the ball, shooting and passing, he is only 17 years old and has a lot of room for carving.
You may not understand the point-grabbing striker, who is those who have first-class offensive awareness, physical agility, quick reactions, and can make all decisive judgments on the situation on the field.
They don't need too subtle skills, too extreme speed, too strong physique, they just need to be where they are needed most, when they are needed most. Often, all it takes is a flash of inspiration, only a key shot on goal, and only a need to send the ball into the opponent's net again and again.
But often such a person needs a good middle lane to deliver ammunition to him, otherwise it is easy to be buried, and it is often because of a stunning performance that he is favored by a strong team and has since reached the peak of his life, such as Luca Toney is a typical example of this type. Miroslav Klose also made his fortune by grabbing points as a striker.
In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Thomas Muller can also be classified as a point-grabbing striker, his technical characteristic is to run without the ball, and he can always be in the right position to hand in that shot, including Luis Alberto Suarez can also be regarded as a strengthened version of the point-grabbing striker.
Philippe Inzaghi, who moved to AC Milan from Juventus in 2001, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who moved to Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven, made a name for himself when he scored 25 goals for the Reds in the 2001/2002/3 season to seal the league title ahead of schedule.
And David Trezeguet, the king of the Juventus penalty area, and the alien Ronaldo, who is a world-class goalscorer, have the same qualities as the previous two.
They are very good at grabbing points, their movement is erratic, and most importantly. They can always be in the right position, one shot to set up the victory, the three of them are simply three goal machines, as for why Peter Neulule knew that Momo had a good ability to grab points, but ignored Momo so much.
First, because the above-mentioned forwards are all very tall, and the worst is more than 1.8 meters, while Mo Mo is only 1.7 meters and is a yellow-skinned player from China.
Second, because the arrival of Freddie Bobic greatly alleviated the problem of Hannover's 96 striker, plus Momo did not show his ability on the court, and hit such an earth-shattering must-score in his first appearance. Therefore, it is logical to put him in the transfer market.
"Dole, play more for Momo in the second half. The two wing-backs pressed forward, don't stay in midfield all the time, we need to step up our attack, you know? β
No manager will say in a game that the game doesn't matter, and it can be said that it is okay to lose.
In fact, it was really not an important match, at least not for Peter Neulule, which can be seen from his set-up, which was not at all careful, and could even be described as sloppy and perfunctory.
"Do you all understand? If you understand, Momo, you come out with me. β
Momo's expression was a little indignant, he was very dissatisfied with Pieter Neulule's sloppiness, and it could even be said that the whole Hannover 96 was loosened under his just arrangement.
Indeed, Salb is a relegation team, the situation is very critical, if Hannover 96 insists on winning, maybe Salbu is in a hurry, and will make some out-of-the-ordinary moves, resulting in injuries to players.
This is what Peter Neulule doesn't want to see, their promotion to the Bundesliga is already a sure thing, and even the championship is within reach, so his next vision will be longer-term, but these are not what Momo wants, he just wants to play, play happily!
"Momo, about the transfer, I think you can actually stay in Hannover 96."
Peter Neulule's gaze was deep, it was not impossible for him to cancel Momo's transfer directly, but it had been announced before, and it would be a double harm to force a player to stay.
Momo is still young, only 17 and judging by his contract, he can afford to spend it completely, which is also a big damage to the club's reputation. Therefore, after discovering that Mommer has the potential to be a good striker, Peter Nelulule hopes to keep Momer at Hannover 96, which can be regarded as an investment.
"The matter of transfer, perhaps, there is a sentence that can tell you my attitude very clearly."
After a pause, seeing that Peter Neulule had a slightly inquiring gaze, Momo stretched out his right hand and pointed at himself to look at Pieter Neulule, with a firmness in his voice, with a kind of reverence.
"For me, coach! Just for me. If, a game cannot be won, then for me, how many goals are lost, it doesn't matter! Instructor! Do you know? I hope to win! I want to win every game I play! β
Looking at Momo with a little emotion, Peter Neluul seemed a little surprised, there would be people arguing about such a thing, if you want to continue to keep Momo in Hanover 96 and let him dispel the idea of leaving, then at this time, answering this question is a good start.
"Listen, I know you want to win. However, failure is also a form of growth. I'm the manager and I'm responsible for the whole season. It's a strategic arrangement......"
Peter Neulule tried to explain to Momer, but Momer did not seem interested in his words, and the intermission passed quickly, and under Momer's cold eyes, Peter Neulule couldn't help but stop talking.
"Coach, I'm disappointed. If a team doesn't have the desire to win, then it won't achieve much. I want to win, maybe you're right, but what I want to say is, I don't accept defeat! Football is not about life or death. But it is higher than life and death. Football does not distinguish between life and death, but it divides victory and defeat! I hope I'm on the winning side! Even if it's a draw, I don't want to accept it! β
After saying this, Momo turned around and ran like a player's tunnel, he couldn't wait to step on the pitch, he wanted to play, he wanted to win. Even if he will leave soon, for him, football is his life, and if he can, he wants to live for football every minute of his life.
"Damn the yellow-skinned monkey! Who did he think he was! Who does he think he is? Victory? I'll let you know who's going to call the shots on this team. I will let you know that you will only be able to win if you listen to me, Pieter Neulule. β
Turning around and walking into the dressing room, Peter Neulule tried to calm his anger, but he could still feel his uneasiness in his tone, 17-year-old hairy boy, talk to me about football? And tell me about a team's achievements!?
"The full-back guards keep the wings, Dole you step back, see the situation and rush forward, if you can try to score, as for Momo, let him attract the attention of the Salbu defenders!"
Surprised by the changes before and after Peter Neulule, although Peter Neulule tried his best to calm his tone, but Dole and other players still heard the anger in his tone, seeing that the time was approaching, Dole and others rushed out of the lounge.
Peter Neulule's look is a bit uncertain, and some people may like a player with a drive like Mommer and a player who is hungry to win like Mommer.
But Peter Neulule is clearly not, he is the kind of person who is extremely important to authority, and he always has a way of letting the other party know whose fault it is for the players who oppose him.
"Hey, boy, what did you just say to the manager?"
Dole quietly poked Mommer in the back, Hannover's 96 results this season were good, so Pieter Neulule had a hard waist, and few people dared to mess with him.
Pieter Neulule has thus developed a sense of being kind and pleasant when you are needed. Smile on the big players. And for those players who are not very big cards and have mediocre strength, it seems to be a bit harsh in the habit.
"It's nothing, black and strong, no, Dole, just remember to bring it back and give me more balls."
Momo's tone was very calm, as if it was really nothing, in fact, Momo felt that his performance was very good, when he just said this, Momo was actually really worried, but he suddenly remembered some novels he had read before he was reborn, it seemed that those managers were quite fond of players like him! Is this to blame Momo for being too naΓ―ve, or is the plot of the novel too tricky?
With the referee's whistle, Momo rushed to Salb's backline and began to wander between the gaps, and the Salb players seemed to have reached a strange tacit understanding with the Hannover 96 players, the Hannover 96 players were not active in grabbing, and the Salb players kept falling in the backfield.
Momo said he couldn't figure it out, why? Why are the big guys so lazy, if there are people who buy this ball game, they probably have to scold the match-fixing!
Even the commentary can't be understood, Salb is a relegated team, and now it's easy to understand that they are on their feet when they are leading by one goal, and Hannover 96 is so unhurried, how can it be like they are ahead?
When Momo ran to the good time again, and Dole chose to break through with the ball himself and was intercepted by Salb's players and lost the ball, Momo couldn't hold back anymore, he stepped forward and went to reason with Dole.
"Black and strong! Didn't you say you were going to pass me more before you got off the pitch!? So what are you doing now! β
Dole is remorseful for conceding the goal! Listening to Momo's accusation, he couldn't help but raise his head and say to Momo
"It's the manager's arrangement, and you're being stared at so much!"
Momo was a little stunned, the head coach's arrangement? Seeing Dole running away, Momo couldn't help but turn his head to look at the coach's bench, at this time, Peter Neulule was standing on the sidelines with his hands crossed, not in a hurry, and he didn't look anxious about falling behind the score at all.
The game continued, Momo wandered aimlessly around the field, at this time he saw Dole with the ball rushing towards Salb's backfield, but at this time there were already two Salb players next to him who had been entangled with him, and Momo did not hesitate to run towards Dole.
"Hannover 96's offensive has not improved, the whole team has been attacking only the headless fly No. 37 MOMO and No. 21 Bill, at this time No. 21 Bill was entangled by the opposing player, No. 37 MOMO stepped forward to support, but No. 21 Bill will pass the ball to Momo? Forehead! This is? β
The commentary came to an abrupt end in a leisurely manner, and if they were mistaken, Momo at this time, made a steal on Dole, who was struggling to dribble the ball? That's a lot of fun.
At this time, Dole and the Salbu players were also shocked by the scene in front of them, where did this Chinese kid come from? Quarrel with your teammates first, and then make a steal on your own teammates? But now is not the time to care about that, at this time Momo is rushing towards the penalty area with the ball.
A Salb's centre-back did not rush forward to make a tackle, but chose to step back, keeping a defensive distance, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the football under Momo's feet.
This kid doesn't know how to control the ball at all, seeing that the football is sudden, like someone is tempting you with a delicacy, Salb's central defender did not resist the temptation after all, and when he was about to retreat into the penalty area, the next time Momo slipped the ball out, Salb's central defender suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his leg to make a tackle.
Salb's central defender suddenly stepped towards Momo, and Momo also rushed in the direction of Salb's central defender, the distance between the two quickly shortened, and the Salbu central defender was about to touch the ball to clear the ball.
Just then, a pair of dirty boots appeared in the eyes of the Salb defender, and the outburst of Mommer 15 allowed him to touch the ball first, and the Salb central defender watched as the ball passed between his open legs.
Mommer managed to poke the ball under the crotch of the Salb defender, 12's agility was not enough for him to completely avoid the next impact, Momer's body staggered a little, 8's balance and 7's strength made him feel that he had hit a thick wall, and one of the defensive guidelines of the central defender was that people could not pass the ball, and if the ball passed, people would stay.
At this time, Salb's central defender just wanted to be a man to stay, but Momo's flexible turn allowed him to finally hit Momo reasonably, and Momo finally passed Salb's central defender, and at this time he had already burst into the penalty area, and the football had passed the penalty spot.
Momo relied on the burst of 15 to touch the ball again, and was about to look at the goal, only to see the Salbu goalkeeper who swooped down, and then he lost his balance.
"It's a shame that after a beautiful crotch pass, the Salbu goalkeeper came out in time to confiscate the ball. MOMO No. 37 needs to be strengthened! β
Got up from the ground and swung his fist hard, the Salbu goalkeeper did not foul, he touched the ball first, and Momo may have been suspected of hitting the goalkeeper, the referee on duty called Momo over and gave a verbal warning.
"Hey! Brat! Why are you rushing at my feet to grab the ball! β
Dole ran over angrily, obviously worried about Momo stealing the ball from under his feet, but as he spoke, Dole suddenly laughed and slapped Momo
"Well done, though. It's a pity that I didn't get in. β
Momo gave Dole a blank look, and then straightened out
"Dole, let's discuss, can you pass me three good balls, I don't ask you to pass me all the time, but can you pass me three good balls? If I waste three good balls from you, then I won't say anything more. Of course, it's best if you can feed me all the time. β
After a pause, Momo, who seemed to find this unconvincing, emphasized again
"Three times, just three times. I'm going to score a goal! You trust me. Of course, if you don't even give me those three goals, then I'll still steal your ball. β
Seeing Momo's serious look, Doll couldn't help but smile a little dumbly, carefully recalled the arrangement of head coach Peter Neulule, and didn't seem to say that he couldn't pass the ball to Momo, thinking of this, Doll couldn't help but nod and said
"Okay! I'll see the opportunity to give you a good pass, after all, I don't want to lose. β
Mo Mo nodded fiercely and said firmly
"I don't want to lose either, I want to win! I want to win every game. β
After that, the two quickly parted, and each returned to their rightful position, ready to deal with the goal kick of the Salbu goalkeeper.
"No. 37 Momo seems to be discussing something with No. 21 Dole, so maybe we can expect what they do next."
Momo shook his fist fiercely, three chances! You have to score goals, and one of the first things Momo has to learn before that is to conserve his strength, and he is now feeling that his breathing is starting to be a little uneven.
9's stamina wasn't enough to sustain him all over the field, and Momo decided that he wouldn't be too active in running unless it was a particularly good space.
Looking at the Salbu goalkeeper who was about to kick off, Momo's eyes were a little sharp, you don't want to retreat! Even if it's on your home turf.
