In this game, Maritimo's team has a group of raw melons and eggs, and only Aduris is a trustworthy veteran.

Since Aduris' retirement and comeback, the doubts have not stopped.

"Lian Po is old, can you still eat?"

"Coming back after retiring? You think you're Jordan! ”

"I guess there's not enough money to spend!"

"Actually signed such an old guy who is over 40 years old, Maritimo is really a fool of many people!"

……

However, Aduris proved himself on the training ground and on the playing field. He worked harder than the younger players and slowly regained his form, playing well in his limited playing time, making a huge contribution to the team and scoring goals.

But the bar spirit is everywhere, and the doubts remain.

"It's just playing in garbage time, after all, the club has to give the fans an explanation!"

"Everyone else is fighting hard, of course he looks good"

"It's okay at the beginning, but as the league goes deeper, the body will get more and more tired."

"Isn't it fragrant to give him the time he plays to young people? His presence compresses the playing time of young people! ”

"Gao Yuan is still continuing to train 41-year-old Aduris! It is estimated that by the time he is 50 years old, he will be able to become a talent, hehe"

……

Aduris also knows that his presence has caused a lot of pressure on Gao Yuan and the team, so he can only train harder to live up to the trust of the coach and the club.

Gao Yuan sees Aduris' efforts in his eyes, and often communicates with him outside of training.

"There is an old Chinese saying that forty is not confused. It means that after the age of 40, people have no doubts about life. As a footballer, I believe that your understanding of life should be deeper and more thorough. So, I hope you can do what you can and don't work too hard, after all, you are not young anymore, and maintaining your athletic life is the most important thing. ”

Aduris was very touched that although the coach was more than ten years younger than himself, he was able to think about his career and take the initiative to relieve pressure for himself, and this respect and care made the veteran feel warm in the twilight of his career.

Aduris, how can he not have the consciousness of forty years without confusion. In his career, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of time, felt the ruthlessness of the years, hurried for forty years, with a flick of his fingers, there have been doubts, hesitations, and excitement and joy, but what has left more is contemplation, sudden enlightenment, reason and sobriety.

At this age, he can already distinguish what kind of coach is a good coach, and even more clearly what is hypocritical politeness and what is heartfelt care.

Death for a confidant. Although he did not express his sincerity in front of Gao Yuan, he repaid the coach's trust and concern with practical actions.

In daily training, he will teach his young teammates without hesitation, and teach his teammates the tricks that he has been fighting on the green field for many years.

Outside of training, he will tell the young people in the team what he has seen and felt about playing football over the years, telling them that they are lucky to have met a good coach and a reliable club, and they should know how to cherish it.

Based on his own experience, he also gave a lot of advice to the coaching staff to help them be more efficient and improve their work.

In the locker room, he also gave full play to his veteran role to help Gao Yuan better control the locker room.

……

It can be said that he has played a positive role model in all aspects and has done far beyond the expectations of the club. Gao Yuan felt more and more that the veteran introduced to him by Mendes was far worth the money!

However, Aduris himself felt that it was not enough. He is a person who has retired once, and he knows how to cherish gratitude. He always reminds himself to do his best to repay the kindness and trust of the coach!

Now, because of the rotation of the lineup, Gao Yuan is under great pressure and gives himself the opportunity to start.

This is not only the trust of the coach, but also the moment when he needs to repay his gratitude the most.

Aduris is very keen to use his performance to dispel doubts from the outside world, not only for himself, but also for the team and the coach.

He played very aggressively in the first half, fighting for every ball, and didn't look like a veteran over 40 at all.

But the more he tried to play, the more he felt really old.

On the pitch a few times before, because I was surrounded by the main teammates of the first team, they were very capable and provided me with great support, so I was not tired of playing.

And because it was a substitute in the second half, the opponent's physical energy had been consumed a lot, so his body did not look much worse than others.

But this time is different. It's not that others are kicking for themselves, but that they are kicking with a group of rookies. And to kick with them from the very beginning.

He felt that he was really old, and the ball that he could easily catch up with before was now clear that the ball was in front of him, but he couldn't raise his speed; The ball that used to be able to accurately top the goal is now high above the goal because the bounce height is not enough; As for passing, it is even more difficult, you can use feints to confuse your opponent, but even if you shake off your opponent's center of gravity, you will be chased back by the opponent.

And the worst thing is physical fitness. The age is not forgiving, and by the end of the first half, he has exhausted himself.

Are you really old? The outside world is not wrong, I can only add icing on the cake in the team, but can't I give charcoal in the snow?

Just when Aduris's mood was as heavy as his steps, just when he was depressed, hesitant, and helpless, after an intermission, he was surprised to find that his physical strength had recovered! My condition has never been better!

He seems to have found the feeling of killing all sides at Athletic Bilbao again!

What surprised him even more was that not only did he recover his form, but his teammates also found their feelings!

Although they conceded a goal at the beginning of the second half, they soon took the initiative on the field and firmly suppressed the opponent in their own half.

The continuous attack made Aduris very excited, and the more he played, the more confident he became.

Not only did he give full play to the advantages of his center to hold the ball and make the ball, but also became the bridgehead of the team's frontcourt attack, and successfully connected the team's attack. And his own offense is also very good, several point-grabbing shots in the penalty area, all of which are very threatening.

But maybe it's because I'm too anxious, and I haven't been in the battle for a long time, so I haven't been able to grasp several good opportunities, and the shot is just a millimeter away.

Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, but his team was scoreless, Aduris was also a little anxious.

In the 67th minute, Tondela reversed the ball at the back, there was a little deviation, the central defender stopped the ball a little bigger, Aduris rushed over, and with a sideways flying tackle, the ball was cut off, but the opponent's defender was also shoveled out and fell a.

Aduris was in a hurry to attack, he didn't care at all, he got up and was about to keep kicking, but the referee's whistle sounded.

Foul!

Aduris was very angry when he saw that a good opportunity was blown away by the referee, and angrily picked up the ball and smashed it on the ground, the ball bounced high, and at the same time, the referee also raised the yellow card in his hand.

"Damn! You won't blow the whistle! I've been playing for so many years, and I've never seen a stupid X referee like you! Aduris roared unrelentingly.

The referee was also angry, he just wanted to warn Aduris, but the other party was too faceless! In a fit of rage, he pointed to Aduris's nose, "If you say one more word, I'll get a red card!" ”

"I ......" Aduris swallowed back the swear words that came to his lips, and as a veteran, he still had some self-control.

"Aduris!" A lofty shout sounded not far away.

Aduris followed the prestige and saw Gao Yuan shouting to himself anxiously.

Aduris ran over, and the anger that was burning just now disappeared in an instant, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at the young manager. Like a kid who did something wrong.

Gao Yuan grabbed his shoulder, "Aduris, you are the most experienced player on the field, you are in a hurry, what should these young people do?" Everyone is following your example! ”

"I'm sorry, coach, I was impulsive!"

As a veteran, Aduris certainly understands that he is impulsive, and the best response at this time is not to shovel the opponent, let alone lose his temper at the referee, but to find a way to send the ball into the opponent's goal!

Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, the drum does not need a heavy hammer, as a veteran who has experienced a hundred battles and has a mature mind, Aduris does not need to mention it too much.

The reason why he was so impulsive was because he wanted to win so much that he was blinded by victory and defeat.

Aduris is currently the only experienced veteran in the squad and the only key man who has the potential to change the tide of the game. Gao Yuan still decided to give him a little nudge:

"Aduris, remember what I said to you before? Forty is not confused! You're older, but it's not just a disadvantage, sometimes it's an advantage, it means you have more experience than other players. What you have to do on the field is not only to fight, but also to use your brains and use your experience and wisdom to help the team! ”

Aduris nodded thoughtfully, "Boss, I know what to do!" ”

Gao Yuan patted him on the shoulder heavily, and his movements were full of kindness, expectation, and trust.

"It's up to you!"
