Chapter 53: Hate the Feeling

When Valencia returned to Spain with a 1-0 victory, the hero immediately began his long-range training, and the urgency of reality made him know that he had to improve as much as he could.

He works hard, but hard work does not necessarily lead to success, and the saying that there is sweat and harvest can be called the most false self-consolation in modern society.

On September 28, in the fifth round of La Liga, Valencia hosted the weak Espanyol.

One is fighting for the title, the other is trying to stay relegated, and there is no good contrast between the two teams themselves. So, in the pre-match commentary, the view that Valencia are on a five-game winning streak at home is simply one-sided.

Some people even predict that Valencia can use this game to surpass Real Madrid, who have always been at the top of the standings because of goal difference.

For the Bat Legion, the game was played out in a relaxed, optimistic atmosphere.

But soon, people realized that something was wrong, that things were not as smooth as they had imagined, or that there was a player who had given Valencia a big back, a player they had been most concerned about and looked forward to before the game.

The weather was very pleasant, the breeze was gentle, and it was not hot, which happened to be a good time for people to be most reluctant to exercise a few times.

But the hero didn't enjoy it, because just now he was forced to helplessly, put an anti-aircraft gun and rushed to the second floor of the stands.

It was his seventh shot of the game, but the threat was still there, and it was all about the efficiency and threat of the previous four league games.

Shit! Shit!!

A slap on his forehead, the crisp and loud sound was as resentful as his dissatisfaction with himself, which could not be suppressed or hidden. Although the weather is good, it is repeatedly bad, and even some weak expressions make the hero feel like a furnace, and his body is unbearable.

Although he showed signs of being studied and frozen in the league last week, Rafael Benitez still put him in the starting line-up for this game, giving him enough trust to keep Mista and Oliveira on the bench.

But that trust didn't pay off today, as the Spaniard's defensive tactics, which almost replicated Atletico's second-half tactics, came to fruition in this game, where the hero who had handed in an incredible seven goals in the first four games finally went silent.

This time, he was beaten to the soft underbelly, and he never scored the third goal in the Atletico Madrid game, and it can be said that he was frozen by the Espanyol defense throughout the first half and did not get any chances.

Even his unique flexible movement did not make any achievements in this race, not completely ineffective, but a little bit of chance and luck.

The effective defensive arrangement, coupled with the fact that he is paid enough attention to, this kind of defensive pressure and rhythm makes the heroes who have been smooth sailing before unable to adapt for a while.

Originally, with his ability to grab points and run positions, he shouldn't have been so wolf-bèi, but the panic caused by his lack of experience made him completely lose his direction on the field.

Before the game, the hero had imagined the difficulties he would encounter, but he did not expect them to come so violently.

However, Benitez on the sidelines did not seem to be in a hurry at all, as if he did not see the predicament of his team. It can be said that the expression of today's hero is not unexpected.

Surprise can win, but once it is discovered, it will become a loophole to limit yourself.

From the second half with Atletico Madrid, Benitez has actually noticed this, and the hero's sword has been explored by the opponent.

But for him, this qiē is normal, because the hero is only 18 years old. If such a young striker has no weaknesses in all aspects, or has reached the realm of a trick that is eaten all over the world, then why should those strikers who have been accomplished for a long time be emotional.

And the reason why he continues to start the hero is simple, trust and those seven goals.

As soon as some young players debuted, it was the peak of his short career, Benitez did not believe that heroes were this kind of people, with the talent and psychological qualities of heroes, as long as they worked hard, they would never fall to this point.

And according to his observation, hard work is precisely what heroes lack the most.

Since I think that heroes can grow, but they need him to cultivate, like this starter, it is the opportunity for Benitez to give heroes to grow. Although the words are old-fashioned, the truth is practical, not to be beaten twice by the hammer of reality, who knows that this hammer is to hide, as for how to hide, this has to be practiced.

As for the second reason, it is even simpler, without giving factual evidence, a goalscorer who has scored 7 goals in 4 games is put on the bench, then this manager must be a mallet and underwhelmed.

Neither pleasing players, nor fans, nor the club's top management, although Benitez lacks some tactfulness, but not to the point of ignorance of human accidents, every manager has to command and train the team, but also manage.

Of course, in addition to these factors, Benitez did not expect the hero to explode again and surprise him.

It's just that this thought was extinguished 20 minutes after the start of the game.

Fortunately, Benitez was not disheartened, it was just a fluke to take a look, and he was mentally prepared, after all, there is only one alien, and he will kill all sides as soon as he debuts, and there is only one unrivaled striker.

Then, immediately after the break, Rafael Benitez announced in the dressing room that Mista's decision to replace the hero.

The hero, who lowered his head and heard this decision, his fists tightened randomly, and he trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He was mentally prepared for this moment at the end of the first half, but when it did come, he found that his state of mind was far from as calm as he expected.

At this moment, he finally found that he couldn't stand the coldness of the bench, couldn't stand being a boring bystander, every real struggle with the opponent on the field, every pain, every drop of sweat, every goal, every cheer, and even every failure, had made him addicted to drugs and couldn't extricate himself.

I want to be strong, I want to play, I want to score

The hero does not pursue the scenery on the football field, but the fun of football has sunk him. If you want to play football, you have to go crazy, this slightly crazy sentence, he finally has a first experience at this moment.

At the beginning of the second half, it was noted that Valencia had made a substitution, and the hero did not even come on, but sat directly on the bench.

In front of the camera, the hero still bows his head without saying a word, he is not discouraged, just disappointed, disappointed in himself.

Seeing this, Alonso shook his head and said: "Hero has been replaced!" His performance today was really bad, he didn't provide any threatening shots, maybe he was too tired. You know, as an 18-year-old rookie, starting consecutive games is too demanding for his fitness."

As a die-hard fan of heroes, Alonso said this, in fact, he was a little evasive, and he meant to excuse the hero. As an experienced veteran commentator, how could he not see the crux of the hero.

But lest the young hero be hit and criticized too much, he nevertheless gave such an explanation against his will.

But Sousa on the side didn't buy it, he said bluntly: "The characteristics of Hero are too simple, and in the defensive system of modern football, such players are too easy to be restricted!" Of course, with Inzaghi's example in the past, who can't say that Hero's future ends here, but he has to make some changes. Otherwise, he would definitely encounter a scene like this often. ”

As the game continued, Mista's effect on the pitch was immediate, and his ability to pile up in the box immediately brought great energy to Valencia in attack.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Valencia opened up the situation with a long-range shot from Angullo. It was an assist from Mista's return in the box, a versatility that the current hero does not have.

One-on-one, simple short-distance coordination, the hero may not be a problem, but it is too difficult for him to find a passing route in the crowd.

Compared to his talent in archery, his passing talent is just as stinky, and when he sees the dense crowd and legs, his head will be a little dizzy, foggy, and he doesn't know what to do.

So, at least for now, the hero is still a pure terminator.

After Mista came on the field, this immediate effect made the hero's inaction on the pitch more and more obvious. In this comparison, there is a gap.

Thankfully, his record of seven goals ahead of him, and his age of 18, give people plenty of reasons to tolerate and forgive.

At this moment, although the exposure of his weaknesses has become an indisputable fact, it is bound to attract a lot of controversy, questioning and criticism. But at the very least, Benitez and Valencia fans still have high expectations for him.

After all, no one naively expected the hero to immediately turn into a super striker and support Valencia's forward line on his own. For them, the hero has shown enough talent to attract their attention, as well as the possibility of their own growth, and it is enough for a young player to show this.

For the average young player, that's true.

But, heroes are not.

He doesn't care what others think of him, even if tomorrow all the Spanish media start to criticize him, arbitrarily smear him, and question wantonly, he doesn't care.

All he cares about is playing, growing and scoring goals.

And the most intolerant is the expression of one's own incompetence.

He is paranoid by nature and hates this feeling!

Hate to death!!

I hate it like crazy!!
