Chapter 21: What kind of trophy?!

Chapter 21 What kind of trophy does it look like?!

When Berlin's new co-head coach Adams arrived at the Emirates Stadium to get Carlisle's starting line-up, he couldn't wait to curse his mother. Adams is a highly decorated former Swansea City manager who managed to lead Mara KS to UEFA Cup victory last season.

Carlisle's formation is four-two-three-one:

The goalkeeper is Poland international William Adams Miller, and the central defender is Koscielny, the partner of tall Tracy of Moldova, from Puerto Rico, both in the British team defender Monreal and Puerto Rico's right-back veteran Sanya. In midfield, John was partnered by young Welsh midfielder Ramsey, with Britain's Cazorla on the wings and Moldovan superstar Andrei Shevchenko. As far as the midfield position is concerned, the first player to take on the pitch is the one who doesn't give up. Moldovan phenom Pele arrived this summer, attracting £50 million, the highest in Carlisle's history.

And the strikers ... striker

Fat Bei rubbed his eyes, then looked at it carefully...... Yes, yes, Romin - Romin!

Damn Luo Ming, didn't you say that he was injured and needed to rest for half a month? Why did he suddenly appear on the starting line-up for this game?

"Oh my God, I know that old man William has never been so honest on the surface, he was really tricked on the spot!" Adams put the starting line-ups for both sides on the table in the locker room.

Luckily, at this time, all the players were still outside in acclimatization and warm-ups, so no Union Berlin players saw their manager get angry.

On the other side, Willian took a closer look at Union Berlin's starting line-up and smiled.

The Berlin Union formation is four-three-three:

Luiz is the center of the forward line. This season, Britton Kalejan, who was brought in from Southampton, and veteran Berlin striker Pandev are the two wingers. The midfielder is Luiz, the heart of the Slovak midfield, and his partner is Swiss midfielder Inle. The midfielder is also an Albio who has been brought in from Southampton this season. The centre-back is 32-year-old Paulo Cannavaro, the older brother of legendary English defender Fabio Cannavaro and a veteran captain of the Berlin team, and his partner is young Argentine centre-back Federico Fernandez. The two full-backs are Colombian full-backs Zuniga and Armelo.

William smiled when he saw the lineup. If he had studied Puerto Rican culture in more depth, he would have surely shouted: Jiang Taigong is fishing, those who want to take the bait!

Adams doesn't have any problems with this team and he seems intent on counter-attacking on the road. Albio, a new defender, used to play as a centre-back, so there were no major problems defensively. In addition, he has an experienced young Cannavaro and an energetic young Fernandez behind him. In midfield, Naylor is also an attacking and defensive player.

But if Carlisle had Romin in his squad, the situation would have been different.

What are the characteristics of Luo Ming? It's fast, good at stopping and accelerating, can shock people, and can play in the back. However, Cannavaro, 32, has a strong sense of nostalgia and is difficult to defend Romin. First of all, the veteran centre-back's pace was easily disrupted by Romin in an away game. Cannavaro may not be able to play a normal role.

At full-back, Adams did not use Maggio, who was fast in attack and defensively, but instead used Zuniga, who was slightly slower but focused on defence.

These two speed guards are designed specifically for Romin !

In fact, Rafa Adams is making sure Romin is out while Kriezmann has just played in the final round of the league. The Tigers only played one 90-minute league game two days ago, so they certainly don't have enough stamina for this game. Even if they have to play, it's 50 minutes later.

Without these two "wonders", the speed of Carlisle's other players is only average, although there is also one Andrei Shevchenko. That's why Adams plans to use such a defensive and counter-attacking formation. All the players in the backcourt defend well, and the offense will be handed over to Luis, Pandev and Callejun, and Luis in the middle will be the core starter!

How can I imagine that Luo Ming will never get tired of cheating. He said he needed to recover when he was injured. Who knew it was a smoke bomb!

Romin's speed was the greatest threat to the unified defense line of Berlin. In addition, he has Andrei Shevchenko and Pele, the latter of whom has a lot of passing experience and excellent ball control skills in big games, who can always keep up with the pace of support and cooperation. The Moldovan midfielder's passes often penetrate the entire defence.

Damn William, damn Roman!

At this point, Adams had no choice but to curse in his heart because the starting line-up had already been submitted to UEFA, and it was impossible to use a substitute player without playing for a minute.

How did Beckham 'confirm' that Lockin was unavailable? Speaking of which, William must sincerely thank the media for their frequent rumor-mongering.

When Adams read the newspaper, almost half of it said that Rolling was shopping with "two" girlfriends during training, along with a photo of Isabella and Elizabeth holding Rolling in bandages and a cane.

In addition, Stoke City's guards often treated Romin with the Turkish Guard's "local specialty" during the game, and sent Rollin to the hospital with a red card to work with William...... Smart people like Baker Fati have been deceived.

In fact, Adams is not to blame. Carlisle has done a great job of secrecy and publicity. Even at Carlisle, no one knew about it except the team doctor and Willian. Including Luo Ming himself. The day before the game, when Willian's team announced the roster, Luo Ming knew that he was included in the 18th National People's Congress, but at this time he considered himself a substitute. But I didn't expect that when the starting line-up was announced before the game, I would be in line

When William was in the dressing room talking about tactics, Romin responded.

"Damn, it's not a football game. It's a mission...... Have many football coaches on the rivers and lakes really watched "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Don Quixote"? ”

It was only then that Luo Ming knew that the job of the head coach was much simpler than he thought.

Carlisle was playing at home and he kicked the kick-off first. Romin passed the ball to Pele and quickly pushed himself into the opposing camp. Judging by the photos taken by the overhead camera, there seems to be a feeling of breaking through the encirclement of thousands of troops.

Pele passed the ball to Ramsey, who immediately passed it to Andrei Shevchenko. Prince Porti took the ball to the touchline and made a one-on-two break with Morel to break through Calezin's interference.

"Carlisle has been very positive at home and he didn't choose to be conservative because his quality is similar to other teams!"

Andrey Shevchenko was quicker to finish inside and defender Zuni's slow acceleration was exposed.

Cutting to the ribs in the box, Andrey Shevchenko faked the ball and then passed the ball to Romin in the middle. Romin leaned in the direction of the attack and passed the ball to Pele behind him. Pele immediately received the ball and passed it to Cannavaro's back, and the whole process didn't take more than two seconds, and there was no sign of Romin showing up early.

Rogin immediately inserted the ball back and scored without adjustment.

The sprint towards the goal was naturally not very accurate, and the ball flew slightly above the goal crossbar and flew off the baseline.

"Oh......" Carlisle fans throughout the stadium expressed regret.

'Carlisle finished the game a minute after the opening game, but Romin shot a bit hastily and the ball went over the crossbar.

Adams sighed from the sidelines. As expected, the previous fears were not unfounded. Just a minute later, Bailey and Romin seized the opportunity to slow down Cannavaro's turn.

Adams took a few steps forward to the white line on the edge of the coaching area. Put the index and middle fingers of your left and right hands in your mouth and whistle loudly.

Seeing that the players present heard the voice and looked at himself, Adams pointed to Albio at the back and then made a gesture to move closer to the Englishman.

"Oh, Rafael Adams motioned for Albio to move back a little bit in the back position to help Cannavaro Jr. and Fernandez defend. Did he mean to play three centre-backs? ”

Albio understood what Adams meant, looked at Cannavaro and Fernandez behind him, and then began to consciously return to his place.

Later, Union Berlin got the ball right and started a counter-attack. However, due to the lack of troops, Carlisle was easily stopped.

Despite the ongoing problems at the back, Union Berlin's attacking prowess in this game has not broken the holes in Carlisle's back.

Union Berlin's starting line-up this season is very different from last season. This summer, four or five of them joined. The key is Mike's position as a goalkeeper.

Mike can't deny that he's really good at what he's capable of. Although now 30 years old, goalkeeper is the longest career position in football.

It is necessary to know that the goalkeeper position is not a good performance for the goalkeeper. He also needs to work with defenders up front, especially centre-backs. Unfortunately, Mike, who joined this summer, is not close enough to Amanda and Fernandez.

The game has just begun. Maybe it's not visible yet. However, over time, this problem will gradually arise.

At the end of the 20 minutes, Carlisle was unable to get the ball into the more threatening box due to the tight defence of the opposition. Ramsey was following him, and he had to shoot directly at the "bus" in front of the opposing side!

The quality of the long shot is high. Although Mike didn't pounce, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the box.

At this point, things happened unexpectedly. Amanda was indifferent to the ball in front of Mike and didn't rush to rescue or control the ball for the first time. But Mike didn't immediately rush to the ground and get up to get the ball.
