Chapter 10: Stadium Anoeta

Not surprisingly, after returning to the apartment, Qu Jing received a call from Zhang Lei from China. Zhang Lei did not ask him whether he would play in the new season, probably because he was afraid of putting pressure on him, but Qu Jing introduced him to the general situation of today's game, and analyzed that the next game against Real Madrid B team, when the team could not open the situation, it may usher in the opportunity to appear, which made Zhang Lei feel very excited, and kept cheering him on the other end of the phone, and proposed to send a reporter from the "football circle" from China to release the news of Qu Jing's debut in the West C League.

Qu Jing politely rejected this proposal, and then put forward his own considerations: domestic media and fans are paying close attention to the every move of overseas players, although the number and quality of Chinese overseas players have declined in recent years, but even so, when Zhang Chengdong made his "La Liga debut" in the Rayo Vallecano team still attracted the attention of countless people. There is still a long way to go from West C to La Liga, and Qu Jing doesn't want to waste the once-in-a-lifetime "eye-catching" opportunity of the debut on West C. In fact, the news of his transfer to Real Sociedad has been very tightly blocked, and foreign players are always thundering and raining, if Qu Jing can create surprises without the media and fans knowing, the boost of the "Football Gang" APP is obviously immeasurable.

Surprises don't come out for no reason, and for Qu Jing, the most important thing at the moment is the performance on the pitch.

The weekend against Real Madrid B was an opportunity.

On the day of the holiday, Qu Jing carefully watched and analyzed the data and video data of the Real Madrid B team in the club's activity room.

The La Liga giant's B team is obviously not as sharp as the first team, in last year's Group B of the third division, in addition to a limited number of big wins over opponents, more games are small wins or draws, like the Real Sociedad B team This double kill, it is not uncommon, it seems that Zidane's record as a manager is not as brilliant as when he was a player.

Compared with Real Sociedad B players, Real Madrid's B team players do not reflect the kind of gap between the first team, such as Sans, Capilla and Battista and several other players, and even show higher quality than Real Madrid B team players, plus Agusli is obviously more experienced than Zidane in coaching, it is no wonder that Agusli has a certain psychological advantage before the two teams compete.

After regrouping on Monday afternoon, Agusli sent a message to his squad that they had to win the weekend against Real Madrid's B team.

As a result, he made targeted arrangements for the tactical routines of Real Madrid's B team, increased the training intensity of set-pieces, and made a tentative change to the position of Qu Jing on the field in the group practice on Thursday: continue to retreat, form a left and right double back with Sans, make full use of Qu Jing's tackling ability, and organize a counterattack on the spot. It should be said that Qu Jing is more suitable for the new position, in this arrangement, he and Agusli's ideas can be described as similar, of course, he is clearly aware of his strengths and weaknesses, if the combination of the midfield, in his forward position, the rhythm and awareness are slightly inferior to Capilla for Canales, by Sans to concentrate on interception, he assists in defense, you can concentrate on organizing the attack, so as to hand over the final blow that he is not good at to Canales to deal with.

Capilla obviously has a big gap with Canales, from the daily training matches and the first round of games, Capilla has exposed the lack of rhythm countless times, which is why Agusli tried to retreat, once the situation cannot be opened, Capilla's shortcomings in rhythm control are made up for by the curve.

The first team's match against Sporting Gijón on Saturday afternoon, because it was a home game, Agusli asked the players of Team B to watch the game live, one is to learn from the high-level players in close proximity, and the other is to warm up for tomorrow's league game of Team B.

The Anoeta Stadium is undoubtedly a magical place, as Griezmann, who switched from Real Sociedad to Atletico Madrid, said: "The Anoeta Stadium is never a place to be messed with, they will do their best to stop every team", last season, Real Sociedad completed a three-in-a-row attack on Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid at the Anoeta Stadium, shocking the world, and the newspaper "Marca" once praised it: "Regardless of the season's results, the fans at the Anoeta Stadium are happy enough." ”

The Anoeta Stadium was not well attended, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm shown by the Real Sociedad fans, who kept chanting the names of the players before the game, and the Real Sociedad team song resounded in the air.

David Moyes' managerial performances last season earned the trust of the club and the players, and also made fans look forward to Real Sociedad in the new season, and the first-round draw against Deportivo La Coruna did not seem to affect Moyes's mood, and he looked confident when asked before the game for his thoughts on the game.

David Moyes was clearly overly optimistic about the game, and after the start of the game, the Real Sociedad players still did not seem to get rid of the curse of being strong when they are strong and weak when they are weak, and they were lazily unable to lift their spirits on the pitch, but instead let Sporting Gijón play a lot of dangerous attacks in the first 15 minutes.

What puzzled Qu Jing was that Moyes didn't seem to have a strong sense of ambition for this game: except for Jonathan in the front line, almost all the other players retreated, and players like Canales and Vela who were good at attacking were completely entangled with the opposing midfielders and had no time to attack. Moyes, who is somewhat similar to Mourinho's coaching, is obviously more defensive: there is a lot of synergy between the back line and the midfield, but on the offensive end, whether it is the coordination of the ribs or the organization in front of the penalty area, except for maintaining the layering of the formation, it is impossible to open the situation at all. Canales and Prieto missed a couple of good counter-attacks in the frequent fill-ins of Illia Ramendi, and the Real Sociedad players seemed to be unable to find a better way to attack under the ferocious scrambling of the Sporting Gijón players.

Moyes on the sidelines looked gloomy, the Scotsman, who was accustomed to "rough English play", frowned even more tightly after Jonathan's two consecutive shots, Vela was completely lost after retreating to midfield, and when he finally got an anti-offside opportunity, he chose an aimless cross, and the more active Sporting Gijón player intercepted the ball, eliminating this great opportunity into nothing, causing Moyes to sigh again.

Qu Jing's eyes are full of anxiety, Ilya Ramendi, who turned back from Real Madrid, performed miserably in the back position, under the continuous strong attack on the left side of Sporting Gijón's left, he left a huge hole at the top of the arc of the penalty area when he stepped forward to make up for the defense, Canales obviously realized the seriousness of the problem after returning to the defense a few times, and took the initiative to retreat, moving Prieto's position forward, but Prieto, like Bella, was not in the state at all, which directly caused the offensive gap in the midfield, Jonathan chose to shoot from outside the penalty area after winning the ball several times, The outrageous hit rate caused a wave of boos from the fans.

In the 71st minute, Canales and Ilia Ramendi were both replaced, Qu Jing faintly felt that Canales and Vela were a little uneven, and when the talented attacking players frequently wandered on the defensive end, the results were self-evident, which reminded him of the comments he had seen from netizens about Moyes, just like the evaluation of Yang Xiaoyun by Xiang Nan in the drama "Struggle": "You give Yang Xiaoyun 50,000, she can decorate 500,000 yuan for you; You give her 5 million, and he still decorates 500,000 for you. ”
