Chapter Twenty-Eight: The FIFA Virus (Part I)
The home win over Doncaster has made the media praise for Leeds United reach an overwhelming level, although it is only a League One game, but Leeds United's leaps and bounds in the second half of the season still surprised the experts who had previously underestimated them!
You know, even their own fans are disappointed with the team's performance in the first half! Everyone thinks the team will continue to struggle in the current quagmire!
However, the team's unbeaten record of seven games so far has completely dispelled the suspicions of fans, and with the team's schedule with few fixtures left, as long as the team can maintain its current form and momentum, Michu is still full of confidence in the team's promotion.
Royce and Muller, who transferred in the winter, have become the darlings of fans, and fans happily call these two and Delph the three young men of Lee Kee!
And the team's chairman, Kembets, is also encouraged by the team's recent excellent results, and gradually shows more support for the team! Michu was worried that once the chairman was dissatisfied with the results and interfered with the team's management, it didn't happen, and Bates didn't run to the team's lounge to do anything out of the ordinary when the team was not doing well! And Bates's belief and support make Michu's control of the team more and more powerful!
However, when the team is currently in good shape, there is a factor that is uncontrollable to the team's state!
It turned out that just after the match day against Doncaster, the team received a fax from the German Football Association and the British Football Association, and the three of Reuss, Muller and Delph were called up by their respective national Under-20 youth teams to prepare for the friendly next week!
You know, these three people have basically been half the sky of their own team since the winter break! Not only do they score goals and assists, but the three of them are also the dependence and guarantee of their own offensive tactics!
But the better the performance of these three people, the more they will naturally avoid being called by the national team!
Mi Chu took the three faxes that he had just handed to his hand, and Poyet could only shake his head at Mi Chu's helpless eyes!
"But then again, can you cheat? We told the leaders of the national team that all three of our players were injured in training, and then we could avoid being called up by their respective teams, and that we could avoid possible injuries? Michu said excitedly.
The reason why Michu was able to come up with such a bad idea is also due to the notorious FIFA virus.
And Michu kept talking as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, but Poyet's eyes as if he were looking at a mentally ill person and shaking his head firmly, made Michu dispel this unrealistic idea.
In desperation, Michu had to grab the phone on the desk, "Royce?" Why? What about shopping? Good news for you! You've been called up to Germany's U20s! Happy? When you get to the team, you have to play well, give me a good performance, don't embarrass me, don't get hurt is what I ask of you! If it's okay, you can continue to play, I will tell you the number of the other team leader, and you can check the schedule with him! Hearing that Michu ended the call so neatly, the expression on Poyet's face seemed to say, Damn! Your attitude has changed too quickly!
Michu rolled his eyes at Poyet and continued to dial Mueller, "Is it Mueller?" At Lisa's, I have good news to share with you, you've been called up to the U20s, that sounds good, and I'll send you the German team leader number later, good work! Just be careful not to get hurt! ”
Repeatedly, Michu cleanly completed the meat cutting, and Poyet, who was watching on the side, was dumbfounded!
After saying this, Michu turned to Poyet and said, "Arrange for three people to observe the game of these three guys, we have to monitor the real-time dynamics of these three people, God willing!" But please bless these guys from getting hurt! ”
If you don't draw sooner or later, you just want to take away your absolute main force when the team is in such a tiger state, Mi Chu is very dissatisfied with this training method!
Michu discovered the abomination of the FIFA virus from the standpoint of the club's head coach this time, after all, the state of a player is cultivated by the team and himself with a lot of effort, and the club can decide the use of players according to their own team conditions, which is very important for the adjustment of players' state and the protection of health!
Although it is a dream for many people to play for the country, once a player is injured, the club and the player themselves need to spend a lot of energy to adjust, which is obviously extremely unfavorable for the club and the player!
And the head coach of the national team can arbitrarily select players who meet his own conditions, but the club does not have such a big degree of arbitrariness, once a player is injured in the course of the game, who will the club find to reason?!
It is very common for players to plummet and even lose their main position because of a warm-up game or qualifier, and it is not uncommon for them to be directly reimbursed for serious injuries, so as soon as Mi Chu heard that these 3 guys were transferred like this, this is really up and down!
So Mi Chu still decided to prepare early, even if his main frontcourt was all withdrawn, he couldn't relax the training of other players, once there was any unexpected situation, Mi Chu still believed that it was better to prepare in advance than not to prepare!
Even in the worst-case scenario, your team needs to be able to deal with these situations effectively! After all, the game still has to be fought one game at a time!
However, for the players themselves, the experience of national brand games is still of great benefit to young players, which is a great exercise benefit for the players' adaptability under different tactics and their ability to adjust and adapt under different conditions!
On the bright side, the international matchday is also a great time for the club to adjust, and it will be a great help for the rest of Leeds to recover in fitness and form!
Since bad weather can't be avoided, it's better to be prepared as much as possible to minimize losses!
