Chapter 146: Persistence or Stubbornness? The manager's choice!
In the second half of the game, like a copy of the first half, the Evergrande team firmly controlled the initiative and launched a fierce attack on the Taishan team. After the Taishan team equalized, they retreated, only the ability to parry did not fight back.
This kind of passive scene made the 30,000 spectators at the scene have no confidence to shout and cheer, and the cheering sound in the stands is not loud, but the sound of "class" mixed with it is particularly harsh.
Li Xiaopeng was also very anxious, still pacing on the sidelines, after this game, if the coach's walking distance is counted, it is probably not less than the players on the field.
However, with the passage of time, although the Evergrande team played troubles and frequently created threats, the score was never rewritten, which also strengthened Li Xiaopeng's confidence in maintaining this style of play.
After all, even if there is only one draw, considering that the opponent is the Chinese Super League hegemon Evergrande, such a result is strategically acceptable.
Time passed minute by minute, seeing that the Evergrande team continued to strengthen its attack, but it was never able to break the goal, Li Xiaopeng's face was depressed for almost the whole game, and his face gradually turned bright.
Finally, the game went into stoppage time, with three minutes of stoppage time.
With 93 minutes played, Tariska won another free-kick and it was their last chance.
The free-kick was in an excellent position, just to the right of the edge of the zone, just within the best range of the left-footed Tarisca, and was much better than the one that created a great chance to score in the first half.
The players of the Taishan team were in full swing, and all the players retreated to the vicinity of the district. Wang Dalei even shouted and gestured, shouting at his teammates and directing them to line up the wall.
In the end, the five tallest players of the Taishan team sent a human wall with an average height of nearly 1.9 meters.
The commentator who commented on the game exclaimed, "This height is not a human wall, but the Great Wall of the Taishan team"!
The ball has to go around the human wall first, and then fall rapidly, and you have to avoid the save of the king of the country, Da Lei, which is not easy to say.
Even if it's as strong as Tarisca, it's hard.
Everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on Tarisca, who was in charge.
Tariska observes, runs, and kicks.
At the moment when the ball flies, the human wall jumps high, and at this moment the height of the human wall has exceeded the crossbar of the goal.
But instead of flying as everyone expected, the ball came out close to the ground!
Boccia!
The ball grazed the foot of the jumping wall, skimmed over the turf and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.
Because the human wall was too high, Wang Dalei's vision was blocked, and he couldn't find the trajectory of the ball at the first time, and then went down to the ground to pounce when he reacted, but it was too late, and the ball had already rolled into the net!
The daring Tarisca surprised everyone and killed the game with an incredible boccia ball.
1:2, the Tarzan team was killed!
At that moment, Gao Yuan noticed that Li Xiaopeng's face was like ashes.
Losing is painful, and even more painful than losing is being killed! And it was a last-second kill!
On the way back to the club base from the Olympic Sports Center, everyone was depressed, and no one spoke.
Gao Yuan silently turned on his mobile phone, and sure enough, there was already a lot of scolding on the Internet, and there was a lot of ridicule.
"Hahahaha, as a fan of the Tarzan team, I actually laughed out loud the moment I was killed·····"
"It's better to mourn than to die, I'm convinced, Team Taishan is a joke, hahahahaha"
"Is the upstairs alive or not, it sounds like it's choking to death! Taishou lost the game and got out of class, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Na Weng"
"As a fan of the Taishan team, I watched the whole game with my anger, what else can fans expect from such a performance? We are not afraid of failure, but we cannot fail without hope! As a Tarzan fan, I feel deep despair! ”
"Pelle shouted helplessly in the district: Bread, I want bread! But his teammates told him: no cakes, only pancake rolls and green onions! ”
"I don't have any temperament at all, meeting Evergrande is like a mouse seeing a cat, kneeling and sending six points every year, how did Ludong Province come out with such a team of girls!"
·······
These comments are different from the previous indiscriminate spraying of sunspots, and are obviously the lamentations of many originally neutral fans. Mourning its misfortune and anger, the performance of the Taishan team tonight is indeed too disappointing.
The bus drove into the base, and the players silently rushed out with their equipment. The depressed Gao Yuan walked at the end, but found Li Xiaopeng waiting for him.
The two walked slowly side by side in the night.
"Xiao Gao, Kai is right, we didn't adopt Kai's opinion, we paid the price." Li Xiaopeng said.
Gao Yuan didn't answer, to be honest, he didn't know what to say.
The head coach is the first person in charge of the team, and when he loses, Li Xiaopeng suffers more than anyone else, because the responsibility and pressure are all on his shoulders, and there is no need to explain anything to himself.
"However, if I could do it all over again, I would stick to that choice."
Gao Yuan looked at Li Xiaopeng in surprise, not understanding why he said this.
"The league is a long process and you have to think about it all. This one was lost, but our consumption was not large, and we had more energy to devote to the match against Kashima Antlers. That's the real point. It's not just about qualifying from the group, but more importantly, once we win, we will have more energy and energy to devote to the next league. The game against Evergrande is 3 points, and then the game against other teams is also 3 points, sacrificing this game may be exchanged for more wins in the future, do you know what I mean? ”
Gao Yuan understood that Li Xiaopeng was in the "Tianji Horse Race", using the minimum consumption to face the strongest opponent, which was equivalent to using an inferior horse against a superior horse. Although he lost, his top and middle horses are still there, and there is still hope and opportunity to turn the tables.
I understand the truth, but I still feel too aggrieved in my heart.
Li Xiaopeng seemed to see through Gao Yuan's thoughts, and smiled faintly: "I have been the head coach, and I must understand the truth in this." After that, the stage will be broader, and there will be more such trade-offs. I don't mean that my choice is necessarily right, what I mean is that no matter how you choose, you must be resolute, and no matter what decision you make, you must not regret it. Remember, the most important thing about being a coach is to act with perseverance! ”
Persistence or stubbornness. This is a must-have for a good manager.
Fans will always raise all kinds of questions about the use of coaches and the formation of the line-up, but many managers have always been stubborn. Just like Maurizio Sarri insisted on using Higuain, Emery did not give up Gundouzi until the end of class, Valverde never rotated the lineup, and Lippi pressed Baggio on the bench····· Many of these coaches have failed, and people often laugh at their stubbornness, pedantry and inflexibility, but those who laugh at them forget that it is this persistence, persistence and intransigence that makes these managers stand in the dugout of the big clubs.
Li Xiaopeng patted Gao Yuan's shoulder, "Xiao Gao, look away, this is just one game in the long season, and the more important game is behind, don't be discouraged, come on!" ”
The Tarzan team really didn't have time to lick their wounds, and after this long night, everyone had to devote themselves to preparing for the AFC Champions League group stage against Kashima Antlers.
Compared with the league with Evergrande, this game is the key battle that determines the trend of the whole season!
