Chapter Twenty-Seven: Upgrading Skills
"Revenge?"
Listening to the words from the media reporters, Wan Sheng felt very surprised, he had just coached Atletico Madrid, where did he get the grudge with Barcelona?
It wasn't until then that he reacted.
It turns out that the Catalan media is talking about Barcelona's revenge on itself!
It's been two and a half years since Manchester City eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League, and now they are in charge of Atletico Madrid, and they are still thinking about revenge on themselves thanks to the Catalan media...... Their ability to hold grudges is really clever!
Wan Sheng pursed his lips and said with some sarcasm, "Barcelona wants revenge on me?" That's really an honor, I actually became an enemy of Barcelona......" said 'honor', but anyone can hear the sarcasm in their mouths.
Then Wan Sheng looked at the media reporter and said, "When Manchester City and Barcelona played each other in the Champions League, it should have been the first half of 2008, but I almost forgot when it was, after all, too long has passed." β
"It's really funny to hear them talk about revenge now, it's hype, right?"
Wan Sheng asked reporters on both sides, of course, no one would answer this kind of question, he shook his head indifferently, and said with a little regret, "It's a pity that Barcelona is not a Premier League team, otherwise it would be interesting to let them take revenge a few more times." β
The media reporters next to them didn't come back for a while, but they immediately understood what Wansheng meant.
If Barcelona had had many meetings with Manchester City in the Premier League, they would have lost a lot of games, that is, they would have declared revenge many times...... This is completely disdainful of Chi Guoguo.
Wan Sheng didn't care about the reporter's thoughts, but cheered up and said, "But it doesn't matter, there is still a chance." β
"I'm in Madrid and my team will play them a lot in the future, it's still a long way to go, but it's the closest ...... I'm referring to the beginning of February next year, and I'm sure they'll say it again! β
ββββ
In front of many media reporters, Wansheng expressed his determination to win and his disdain for Barcelona.
That tone and words made the Catalan media outraged.
Barcelona also received the message.
Barcelona club president Laporta once hated Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng directly rejected Laporta's invitation two years ago, and at the same time, also expressed his disdain for Barcelona, so Laporta remembered Wan Sheng.
Now, two and a half years later, Laporta has almost forgotten about it.
But when Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid, it immediately became the most concerned topic in the Spanish media, and Laporta also knew that Wan Sheng came to Spain.
In July and August, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona had nothing to do with each other, and nothing happened to the two sides, and now Atletico Madrid is going to play against Barcelona, Laporta feels that the opportunity for 'revenge' has come, but before he can say a sarcastic word, he learned what Wan Sheng said from the media, and he angrily threw the goblet in his hand directly to the ground.
Then Laporta immediately appeared in public view and said, "That Chinese should maintain due respect for Barcelona!" β
"I believe that in this game, Barcelona will emerge victorious and teach him a profound lesson!"
Laporta felt that what he said was serious enough, but Wan Sheng didn't take it to heart at all, and when he learned Laporta's words, he laughed and said, "Respect? He wants others to be respected, first and foremost. β
"The Chinese? Who is he referring to? I don't think it's me, and I think he's seriously racist! β
Laporta's words were caught, and he finally understood why the Englishmen were always talking about Wan Sheng's sharp words.
Wansheng is more than just articulate.
In order to find some trouble for Laporta, he also asked the club to sue the Spanish Football Association, of course, the words 'that Chinese' and 'the tone as an example' are really difficult to directly associate with 'racial discrimination', and in the end the matter will not be resolved, but it will always make Laporta uncomfortable.
After that, Laporta stopped talking.
Laporta found that he really had nothing to do, he was the president of Barcelona FC, and he didn't have to come out to fight a war of words with a manager himself, it was Pep Guardiola or Barcelona players who should go up.
It's just a pity that Guardiola is not the kind of person who likes to talk a lot.
Pep Guardiola was silent before the game.
So Barcelona's 'minions' spoke, and the "News of the World" kept boasting about Barcelona and belittling Atletico Madrid, "Barcelona is a century-old giant, much better than Madrid's team." Not to mention Atletico Madrid, even Real Madrid is much worse than Barcelona! β
"The results speak for themselves!"
"That Chinese lacked the necessary respect for the century-old giants against Barcelona, and this kind of behavior affects a lot of people, including teenagers who love football......"
"If he continues to insist on this, Spanish football will be a mess and the Spanish Football Federation should pay attention to him, as a public figure, a well-known manager, he lacks the most basic courtesy to his opponents......"
The News of the World expanded and expanded the matter, almost saying that Wansheng's disrespectful behavior towards Barcelona would lead to the destruction of the world.
In this regard, Wan Sheng said very seriously, "The way I respect my opponent is to do my best to defeat him in the arena!" But I wasn't surprised at all when they said that. If you look at it from an outsider, you may think that Barcelona's dignity comes from praying for others to 'respect' them, while my dignity comes from winning one victory after another. β
"That's the difference between me and them!"
ββ¦β¦β
Barcelona's dignity, of course, does not come from 'praying for respect from others', but thinking of the previous report of "World Sports", it is like Wan Sheng said, "Outsiders can really understand it this way!" β
The Catalan media are gritting their teeth.
They found that this Chinese was really sharp-toothed, but the media was certainly not to be outdone in this regard, and immediately a large number of reports came out, almost all of which were aimed at Wansheng.
Criticism, sarcasm and even invective are overwhelming, like Catalonia's declaration of war against Wansheng.
But after that, Wan Sheng stopped talking.
The Catalan media felt like a hard punch to the cotton, and the indescribable grievances and frustration can only wait for the game to be over, waiting for Barcelona's victory over Atletico Madrid.
ββββ
Wan Sheng didn't have time to say anything more to the media.
Just like Laporta himself did not come forward, Atletico Madrid also has supporters, especially when Atletico Madrid and Barcelona match, Madrid media, including "Marca" and "As", are unanimous to the public.
They made all kinds of comments, supported Atletico Madrid, and criticized and ridiculed Barcelona.
During this period, Wansheng led the team to prepare for the game.
It's an important game and it's going to be exciting, as the media says, "It's an attacking football battle in Spain." β
Barcelona must maintain the original style of play, Wan Sheng has no intention of changing tactics, Atletico Madrid's strength is not much worse than Barcelona, in addition, the team is just familiar with the new tactics, he is unlikely to make the team make changes to adapt to other styles of play - there is not so much time to prepare, Wan Sheng also believes that the team has a chance to win with the new tactics.
Wan Sheng sees the game very seriously.
Although it is just a league game, this is the first big game of the new season for Atletico Madrid, and if they can win the game, it will definitely be a huge boost to the team's morale, and the game is played at the CalderΓ³n Stadium, which is the team's first home game of the new season.
"Success, not failure!"
Wan Sheng secretly admonished himself.
However, he did not tell the players about the goal of winning, which would increase the pressure on the whole team, after all, Barcelona are not easy to beat.
ββββ
Soon the race day came.
This morning, Wan Sheng woke up early, he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, and simply got up to check the football training master system.
Wan Sheng opened the players' union system, checked the attributes and abilities of each player, and focused on those players who were determined to start, and he practiced tactics for a while on the formation system.
After that, Wan Sheng hesitated to open the skill panel.
He knew that today's game must be an offensive battle, and he can't win by defense alone, because Barcelona's attack is very fierce, and the team can't keep the goal, and similarly, Barcelona can't hold the goal.
So the key to the game is to see which team plays better.
In the soccer trainer system, the bonus to the game is naturally the coaching skill, and the offensive skill has also become crucial.
Wan Sheng has four offensive skills - Quick Dash, Shooting, Long Shot Power Amplification, and Pass Amplification.
All four skills worked very well, but in the end, Wansheng fixed the goal on 'passing increase', and the biggest problem for the current team is not the tactical adaptability, but the cooperation between the players.
Over the summer, half of the team changed personnel.
Regardless of the ability of the players who have just entered the team, there is certainly not much understanding between them and the veteran players, and when there is no tacit understanding, mistakes are quite reduced, so passing ability is a key attribute.
The skill effect of 'Passing Booster' increases the passing ability rating of all players by 3 points.
That's a bit of a small increase for now.
'Pass Amplification' is an advanced skill, Wan Sheng also has 4 skill points, enough to upgrade the skill to a high level, in fact, he has always wanted to save skill points to upgrade the skill of 'training specialization', but now, after thinking about it, he still decided to put the skill points on the offensive skill, after all, the offensive and defensive skills are almost fixed, and after getting out of the 'level 10 novice stage', he can no longer rely on upgrading to obtain new skills.
Wan Sheng gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and went directly to the '+' point in the lower right corner of the skill box.
A new message was immediately refreshed on the system message interface, "The level of the offensive skill 'Pass Amplification' has been upgraded to a high level." β
Wan Sheng covered his eyes and slowly let go, looking at the improved skill introduction little by little.
"Pass Amplification: This is an offensive high-level skill.
When your team is in play, your player's passing ability rating is passively increased by 3.
When your team is in play, your players' pass errors are reduced by 30%. (To be continued.) )
