Chapter 16: Robinho's Expectations
After getting along for a while, Wang Xuan can be regarded as figuring out the personalities of Ruben and Brian. Ruben is straightforward and Brian is a little scheming, but both of them have a very good work attitude and professionalism. If you can really let them work under their own hands honestly, they can provide them with greater help.
The afternoon training was mainly technical and tactical training. 4-2-3-1 is still relatively new to Manchester City, and Robinho has always been on the wing, and now Wang Xuan has put him in the midfield position. In his new position, Robinho will also need to adapt. Team-mates will also need to get used to playing with Robinho.
Wang Xuan put Robinho in the middle for two main reasons.
First, the two wing-backs in a 4-2-3-1 formation should go all out to defend when the opponent is likely to launch a counterattack. And Robinho's physical strength can't support him to play the whole game in a back-and-forth sprint. Although sometimes in order to confuse the opponent's defense, the forward midfielder has to start organizing the attack in his own defence, but this physical exertion is also less than that of the wing. And in Wang Xuan's design, the back also bears an important responsibility in the attack, which further shares the pressure on Robinho.
Second, Wang Xuan believes that Robinho's technique can be very effective in getting rid of in the middle, and after the breakthrough, he can maximize his personal ability whether it is on the side or playing by himself.
Of course, maybe this is just wishful thinking on the part of Wang Xuan, and he will pay for his bold decision in the future, probably ...... You don't have to wait until later. Now, on the training ground, Robinho has made a mess.
Brian's whistle interrupted the training session again, "Robinho, the opportunity was good just now, why didn't you give Ruo a pass?" You look at the route you take with the ball, the more you take it to the side, the space gets smaller and smaller, the passing route becomes less and less. At the end of the day, the best outcome is for the opponent to break the ball out of bounds and get a touchline ball or corner. Which of these is more important than an offensive chance? ”
Although Bryan didn't approve of Robinho playing as a midfielder at the beginning, he was still very involved in training without any emotion.
Wang Xuan once again gave a thumbs up to the Englishman's professionalism.
Standing on the sidelines and watching for a long time, Wang Xuan shook his head a little helplessly, but he did not interrupt the training, but watched quietly from the sidelines.
He found that Robinho was sometimes doing well in the midfield position. At the very least, he was able to create a passing opportunity, but he couldn't time it.
On the field, Robinho once again broke the ball because he was too sticky, and instead of getting up on the ground, he slammed his fist on the turf.
"Damn ......"
In this afternoon's tactical training, Robinho was very uncomfortable with the new tactics, while others were much better than Robinho.
After all, the positions of the others have not changed much, they just need to adapt to the new tactics.
With the passage of time, today's training is also over. At the end of the session, Robinho sat on the grass panting, covered in mud and grass clippings.
Wang Xuan sighed lightly, and he also questioned and wavered in his heart about his decision to let Robinho play in the front midfield.
Brian stepped forward and pretended to comfort Robinho when he saw his state, but the sneer on the corner of his mouth exposed his inner thoughts. It's just that the frustrated Robinho didn't notice.
Wang Xuan thought about it, but still didn't say anything to Robinho in the past. But after he turned to leave, Robinho, who was at the back, looked at his back with some anticipation. After a morning of physical training, Robinho felt there was something mysterious about the young manager.
Strangely enough, Robinho did poorly in his new position today, but instead of complaining, he was very much looking forward to his performance at Manchester City, in the midfield position. I look forward to Wang Xuan's help to me.
Perhaps, this is because he has too much resentment towards his former club, Real Madrid. He really wanted to use his performance to give the Madridians a resounding slap in the face.
Wang Xuan leaned back in the chair in the office, his hands gently touching his temples, and he had a slight headache. Robinho's performance this afternoon had to question his previous judgment. And at this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears - "Ding Dong".
This voice was the second time Wang Xuan had heard it, and the last time he heard it was yesterday, after the training was over. This sound is the prompt tone of the pinnacle system of football.
Wang Xuan summoned the system with some joy, and a brilliant light curtain appeared in front of his eyes again, and at the same time, a dialog box appeared at the front of all interfaces.
Trigger the quest, "Robinho's Expectations".
Mission Name: Robinho's Expectations.
Mission description: The Brazilian, who left Madrid in disarray, hopes to find himself in England and prove his worth with his performances, Real Madrid's mistakes. But he was very disappointed with his performance in today's training and he wants your help.
Mission Objective: To help Robinho become a qualified striker.
Reward: 1 skill point, 1 attribute point.
When the task system is opened, the system has already prompted that the task will be triggered randomly. It seems that having Robinho play in the midfield, combined with Robinho's poor performance in the midfield position and his insane desire to get revenge on Real Madrid, triggered the task.
After triggering the task, Wang Xuan was still a little happy, but how should he complete this task?
Wang Xuan was a little unsure whether Robinho could play the front midfield, but since this task could be triggered, it means that the football pinnacle system also believes that Robinho has the potential to play the front midfield, but a key is needed to develop the potential hidden in Robinho's body.
However, where is Wang Xuan going to find this key that can unlock Robinho's potential now?
Wang Xuan had a headache when he thought about it, he stood in front of the window, looked at the sky that was almost dark, and sighed.
Although his judgment is correct, Robinho does have the potential to play as a striker, but how to tap his potential?
Wang Xuan made himself a cup of coffee, and then found a piece of paper to list all the problems that Robinho could not adapt to the forward position.
Unfamiliar with the position, anxious, more withdrawn in heart, more "independent" style of play, like to show off their dribbling skills......
After Wang Xuan listed these problems, he faintly found the crux of the problem. He threw his pen aside and muttered to himself, "Looks like we'll have to talk to him tomorrow after training." ”
Then, Wang Xuan sorted out the records of today's training and found that there was no big problem with everyone except Robinho. At this time, it was already completely dark, Wang Xuan glanced at the note pasted next to him, patted his head, and said secretly in his heart: "How can you forget this important thing." ”
He shouted "terrible" in his heart, and quickly picked up his mobile phone to broadcast the number recorded on the note......
