Chapter 20: A tough battle before a hard battle

Players' meeting room at the training base.

There are coaches, there are players.

Every season is hard, hardship catalyzes fighting spirit, and perseverance comes from hard training.

----- training with Coach Corboni.

No matter how strong the opponent is, if you lose points, you won't lose the battle, and if you lose the team, you won't lose people.

Waiting for the players to calm down, Coach Corboni said seriously: "For the rest of the time, only my voice can be heard in the conference room until I finish speaking. ”

No one answered, and the room was silent.

Coach Corboni pulled out a piece of paper from the text folder, looked it in front of the players' eyes, and said: "This is the specific pre-match situation for the next three games, I believe everyone already knows." With all due respect, all three games are tough battles and the first challenge we hope to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. Therefore, if you want to surpass your opponents, you must first surpass yourself. ”

First match against Athletic Bilbao,

Fight against Atletico Madrid again,

Tail game Barcelona team,

Two league games, one Spanish Copa del Rey. Carbine loves to play and prefers tough battles.

Coach Corboni continued: "Boys, it's not impossible to win, but there is an important point that cannot be overlooked. The first thing to do is to get to the training ground right away and go now. ”

The teammates stood up without saying a word and ran to the training ground one after another, followed closely by Kabine, who felt half funny, and every command was too military-oriented.

The training ground, there are coaches, there are players, and there is a hot sun.

The youth team, which rarely trains with the first team, was also on the field, so that the training ground was filled with more than 30 players, all of whom were standing and waiting for Coach Corboni to speak.

Coach Corboni was dressed in training overalls, with a board in his left armpit and a silver whistle around his neck, leading the assistant coach to come. And give the old instructions, the players formed a big circle according to the instructions, due to the unusually large number of people, this time the [big circle] is really big.

When he saw this, he thought it was funny, and snickered alone, because he remembered the doughnut that Andoci had invited him to eat yesterday. Van Kakit, the squirrel standing next to him, squinted at him and whispered, "Idiot! Seriously! ”

Squirrel has been with the team for nearly four years, and will be with Coach Corboni for four years, and he is very familiar with the atmosphere on the training ground, and Cabine knows the reason, so he hurriedly put away his smile and got serious.

Coach Corboni seemed to be satisfied with the big circle formed by the players, and when the players were quiet, he said: "Let's do a simple warm-up of 10 laps first, and then go straight to the 11-on-11 actual training." But please keep in mind that this actual combat training has a [theme], that is, [team cooperation]. ”

After speaking, he spread his hand to the assistant coach next to him, the assistant coach nodded, and said to the players: "We will be divided into three groups, each group of eleven players, everyone will come back here after running ten laps, and I will announce the grouping." ”

Coach Corboni said indirectly: "Don't stand, run quickly." Come on! Come on! ”

Thirty laps and 10 laps are different and the same.

The difference is that the number of laps is twenty laps apart.

It's the same: the sun still hangs over the players' heads.

Before the sweat rained, the players of the youth team had begun to fall, and Coach Corboni was very unhappy when he saw this, and the assistant coach did not dare to say more.

Coach Corboni said: "The youth players are supposed to be above the senior team, but they can't keep up with the pace of the 10 laps, and our team's youth system really needs to be improved. ”

After hearing this, the assistant coach still didn't dare to say more.

Ten laps around, Carbine didn't dare to get ahead because he didn't want to be reprimanded by Coach Corboni. He obediently followed the captain Fisk all the way and ran ahead of the youth players.

After ten laps, everyone gasped and returned to the meeting place. The assistant coach threatened not to give a short break, and immediately divided into groups and played against each other immediately.

Kabine was eager to fight, but instead of being in the same group as his usual first-team team, he was placed in the youth team. Puzzled, Kabine asks the squirrel:

"How so?"

With a helpless expression, Squirrel told SΓΉ Kabine that he could only ask Coach Corboni in person.

Before the eleven-on-eleven battle, Carbine came to Coach Corboni, and before he could speak, Coach Corboni said, "I knew you would be surprised, say it." What can't you figure out? ”

"I'm training and playing with the first team now, so why did I have to be in the same group as the youth team this time. ”

Coach Corboni asked, "Is that all there is to it?" ”

"Yes," said Kabine. I don't understand! ”

"Youngsters, you're going to have different teammates, different opponents, different training and different tactical systems. A player with quality who can play with any team-mate, and I'm sure you can do the same, unless you don't think you're good enough. ”

Kabine's ego was hammered hard, but he got it. To Coach Corboni, he said, "I see, Coach. With that, he ran away and prepared to line up.

Coach Corboni waited for Carbine to run away and then said to the assistant coach: "This kid needs to be patient. ”

The assistant coach nodded: "Yes!" In the game, strength alone is not enough, the most important thing is mentality. ”

Fiske, Roffman and Squirrel Van Khakitt were lined up with the rest of the first-team players, while Kabine was in the youth team and played in attacking and defending midfield. However, he is not familiar with the fighting style of his teammates, so he plans to touch a few balls with his teammates first to find a feeling.

The assistant coach blew the whistle to start the actual combat training: "~~~~~ beep ~~~~~"

The youth team kicked off first, the ball rolled immediately, and the first team poured in like a mighty wave on the river.

Kabine didn't have the ball in his hands at the moment, but he moved extremely fast and Rovman seemed to be clinging to the defence without gaps.

Kirby swam inside and outside the middle circle, with Rovman still behind. Kabine asked for the ball, but the young teammates didn't give it, but ran forward against the sideline. Carbine bared his teeth and shouted, "Here, give the ball!" ”

His teammates didn't respond and continued to go straight to the heart.

The youth team was all up front and in danger of being counter-attacked by the first team. Knowing this, Kabine thought that the rhythm of the attack must not be broken, he ran a few steps forward, Fiske's defense was in front of him, and there was a Rovman defense behind him, Kabine had to find a gap in two seconds, he swam, pulled the space, and waited for the ball to come.

The young team-mates swept into the heart and flew a high ball together.

Before Kabine and his young teammates could pick up the ball, Fiske was already up and running. The ball's terrible landing point is matched with Fiske's wonderful contact: "~~~~~Oh~~~~"

With a flick of the head, the ball flew out of the area and floated out of the area.

Fiske taught Kabine and his youth team-mates a lesson, and that's the experience.

The ball landed, the squirrel caught the ball, and turned to counterattack.

The youth team quickly returned to the back. Kabine didn't have time to get annoyed and accelerated to catch up, but the squirrel ran very fast, and soon after dribbling the ball, he passed to Rovman, who had hit back to the front, and immediately knocked on the side after receiving the ball, knocking it to the squirrel, and the squirrel understood, seeing Rovman's run, it was a short stopper, and Roffman stepped forward to receive the ball and was outside the penalty area.

Beautiful duo hit the wall and cooperated.

Rovman outside the penalty area dribbled sideways, at this time Kabine had arrived, and his young teammates stepped forward to defend, but Rovman was in an excellent position, and he was smart to dodge, and he threw off Kabine in two hits.

The youth team's backline narrowed the gap, and although Rovman faced a dead end, he handed the ball to the left and received the ball firmly on the left wing, and the youth team's back defense would follow the one-on-one defense, and the gap was immediately exposed.

Kabine saw that it was not good and stepped forward to fill in the position.

Several attackers such as Squirrel had already stood up, waiting for the ball to fly. Kabine approached the squirrel and vowed not to give a vacant seat.

The left wing tried desperately to get rid of the defender, but the defender fell to the ground and hooked the ball, and the left wing avoided it, and it was no longer in the way. But he didn't pass the ball high, he just let the ball fly out of the ground and into the box.

It's impossible to tell where the ball is coming from, but everyone is ready.

Kabine started, the start was fast, he wanted to catch the ball first, but the squirrel wouldn't let him go, and he kept up with the grab.

The pace prevailed, it was Kabine who caught the ball, and the first-team attack was interrupted.

Carbine's big foot clears the ball and the ball flies out of the box and will land in the centre circle. Fiske was very calculating, and immediately stepped forward to suppress the striker of the youth team, the ball fell, the striker did not get good, but Fiske had already won possession.

Fiske ran forward with the ball and was actively involved in the attack. The squirrel yelled, "To Rogman." ”

The ball then headed towards Rovman, who was in poor position but was the best in the team. As soon as he received the ball, he attracted two defenders of the youth team, and the second general was not afraid of his predecessor Rovman, striking left and right, and stretching out his feet to hook the ball.

Rovman is trapped, and the squirrel comes forward to relieve him, and Kabine must not slip through the net, so he must follow the squirrel.

Although he was trapped, Rovman picked up the ball and picked it out of the envelope, and the next second saw the squirrel and Kabine accelerate forward to grab the ball at the same time. The squirrel arrived first, swinging the ball at the foot, and the Kabine arrived later, and it was a bit of a rubbing of the squirrel to him.

Carbine was so difficult that he had no room to turn around, so the squirrel had to turn the ball back to his team-mate, and when Carbine saw the opportunity, he shouted: "Push forward, force him to death." ”

The youth team moved forward and took the opportunity to grab the ball.

Fisk sensed that the opponent was in a hurry and took the initiative to ask for the ball. A team-mate at the back gave the ball and Fiske received it and turned it to the right in an attempt to open up the space with a pass. The right wing-back received the ball, saw that Rovman was not far away, and ran forward with the ball. Rovman moves aggressively and prepares to receive the ball.

Seeing through his opponent's intentions, Kabine shouted to his teammate on the right: "Follow Rogman!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rogman had already taken the ball.

Kabine lamented that his team-mates were inflexible in their positioning, which led to Rovman winning possession.

The two sides were instantly reversed, and in five seconds, the youth team changed from offense to defense, and the first team changed from defense to offense.

Kirbine retreated sharply.

At this point, the ball was no longer at Rovman's feet, the ball was gone, the squirrel received the ball, and the stalemate of several rounds did not make him think too much. The squirrel hoisted the ball out, and the forward teammate stepped forward to catch the ball.

The defender of the youth team actually missed the opponent's striker, and the guide was a step slower.

Kabine dropped back into place, but the opposition striker was already activated, dribbling the ball down the middle of the penalty area and making a quick move. At this time, the squirrel ran behind the striker, and the striker struck the back foot and knocked it to the squirrel. Kirbine aimed at the back of the squirrel, and ran briskly.

As soon as Kabine arrived, the squirrel immediately got up and drew his bow.

The ball went straight to the goal, and the goalkeeper of the youth team saw the direction of the ball, jumped to the right, and stretched out his hand.

Prepare to block the incoming ball......
