586. Advanced: The Legend of the Female Coach (9)
As soon as the game began, the Getafe players were full of fighting spirit.
Under a steal from a Getafe player, the football that was originally at the feet of the Spaniards immediately changed hands.
So, for the next ten minutes, the ball was in the hands of the Getafe players.
With four midfielders working together, Getafe pushed forward and ten minutes later, Getafe had pressed into the Espanyol half and began to threaten the Spaniards' goal.
Moreno has been standing on the sidelines of the court, with no expression on his face, occasionally raising his hand to gesture to the nearest players, directing the players to force tackles, looking calm.
But that's just scratching the surface.
Every coach will be superficial.
Just to prevent the camera from capturing his panic, and to escape the spit of the on-site narrator.
The manager who started to panic in the first ten minutes cannot be a point of praise from others.
Thankfully, the Espanyol players kept trying, and finally got a chance to get the ball back at their feet.
As soon as he saw the ball back at his team's feet, Moreno immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Legano even heard Moreno say, "God forbid." The expression on his face also improved.
After the Spaniards got the ball, they quickly launched a counterattack, striker Santos took the ball and went all the way to the penalty area, and the fans in the audience saw this and immediately helped with a tsunami.
Moreno also craned his neck, watching Santos rush forward like a sturdy cheetah, silently praying in his heart that the goal would be scored.
After all, there are only two defenders at the back of Getafe.
However, God apparently did not hear Moreno's prayers, and the Getafe defenders desperately tried to foul and stop Santos' attack.
As a result, the offense was really cut off.
At the same time, however, the Getafe defender also received a yellow card.
The home fans were disappointed, but they didn't forget to boo the Getafe defenders with strong dissatisfaction.
The Getafe defenders were clearly immune to the boos from the fans, rubbed their noses and continued to do their job.
In the following time, the two sides went back and forth, but there was never a goal.
Seeing that the time of the first half was about to end, the Spaniards finally started attacking again.
It was still striker Santos who went straight with the ball.
But once again, history is strikingly similar, and he was stopped by Getafe's defenders.
In exchange for another yellow card from the Getafe defender.
At this moment, both Getafe defenders each carried a yellow card.
The boos of the home fans almost toppled the roof of the stadium.
The halftime whistle was also heard at this time.
In the players' lounge, Santos, who had two consecutive attacks blocked, was very angry.
Some of the other players took the time to rehydrate, while others comforted him.
Lian Yin and the rest of the coaching staff followed Moreno into the players' lounge.
'Santos, you played well in the first half. As soon as he entered, Moreno complimented Santos.
The manager's affirmation eased Santos's anger a little, but he was still annoyed that he had missed two chances to score.
Moreno patted him on the shoulder and didn't continue to enlighten him, and the break was limited, so he had to hurry up and plan for the second half.
Leanyin listened to Moreno's tactical arrangements while looking at Santos, who was still drooping his head.
Moreno didn't plan to change his tactics, just made a small adjustment to some details.
Given the performance in the first half, the most important thing for them was to get possession, keep it and look for a turnaround, as they did with Barcelona next door.
After the tactical set-up, Moreno said a few more words to stir up the atmosphere, and then asked the players to rest themselves, by this time, five minutes before the start of the second half.
The players got up one by one to leave the lounge.
Lienon didn't call out to Santos until the last moment: "You wait. ”
Santos turned to look at her suspiciously, wondering why the difficult female assistant had called out to him.
