Volume 1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 44 A Date with Armando
Leaving the press conference, Fence Pull's eyes were gloomy.
As the team's secretary, she had already thought about how much trouble tomorrow's newspaper would cause for Simon King.
At the same time, she also had a hunch that with Simon King today's unbridled mouth.
I'm afraid that the entire Portuguese coaching circle, and even the football circle, will attack them in droves next year.
Simon King, it's not that he doesn't know this.
But he was only 27 years old after all.
Although many people of this age have become very mature with philistines.
But his Simon King's heart is still as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
What's more, the pressure on him during this time is too great, and he will be humiliated by others from time to time.
Seeing that Simon King was sullen, Fence Pulla gently held his arm, and said gently: "It's okay, just be yourself, Grandpa and I will support you." ”
Simon King glanced at her gratefully and sighed, "I'm sorry for the fence, I was too impulsive just now. ”
"It doesn't matter, I just read a book about the Celestial Empire yesterday, and there is a sentence on it that I like very much."
"What?"
"Swallows and sparrows, never know where the swans will fly."
"Swallows and sparrows?"
Simon King frowned and continued to come to his senses: "Hi...... You are talking about 'the ambition of the bird's nest and bird', this is what Zhuangzi said. ”
"Yes!"
"It's Zhuangzi, it seems to be a great old man." I also heard that in the Celestial Empire, 'Zi' means old man. ”
'What?' When did the son become the meaning of the old man? And what about the wife? What about the son? Are they all old people? ”
Simon King laughed, and the displeasure just now was swept away.
He reached out and scratched his beautiful nose and said with a smile, "Okay, it's okay." If those insiders want to join forces against me, then let them come, I, Simon King, am not afraid of anyone! ”
At this moment, Simon King's expression was very calm.
But in the eyes of the fence, there is a calmness and calmness that has never been seen before.
That's a man's self-confidence, a self-identity that comes from the depths of his soul!
……
Saying goodbye to the fence, Simon King, with the help of the stadium staff, successfully found Armando's office.
The opponent was not affected by the defeat and welcomed him in very warmly.
After taking his seat, Armando said, "I heard that you had some trouble at your post-match press conference?" ”
Simon King didn't know how much the other party knew, so he could only explain embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Armando." Whatever you hear, trust me, I don't mean to disrespect you. ”
"It's okay young people! The media is always like this, black can be written in white. Besides, I think you're right. ”
"Am I right?"
Simon King was a bit surprised, he had thought that an old-school coach like Armando might be hostile to him.
"Yes, kid. What if you haven't played professional football? Mourinho is not to mention, he is a great man. Let's just say you - you, game champion, tactical analyst, haven't played a ball. But so what? ”
"You've won the game, you've won the support of the dressing room, that's what you're capable of!"
Simon King was surprised: "You know I won the support of the locker room? ”
"Of course! Don't you know that I have all the videos of your tactical meetings here. ”
"Well...... I know, so I buried a mine for you. It's just that I didn't expect that your on-the-spot adjustment was so good that it almost demoted us. ”
The two laughed, and their eyes were full of affection for each other.
Armando continued, "I know what you're arranged, but I don't want to do that. So, I chose to go and race as usual, that's ...... You should be able to see it. ”
"Yes sir, I see that. But I don't understand ......"
"Don't understand why I don't want to? It's actually quite simple, because before you and Mourinho, there was a coach who didn't play but was very good. ”
Speaking of which, Armando's eyes were a little more dim.
He sighed, and continued: "Let's not talk about him for now, I invited you over today to express my kindness to you. Second, I want to rely on the old and sell the old, and I plan you to give two suggestions. ”
Simon King was very moved, after all, it was the first time that he felt the care of a professional coach.
"It would be a great honor for me to receive advice from my seniors."
Armando shook his hand, motioning for him not to be polite.
Then his eyes flashed, staring into Simon King's eyes and said: "Your tactical level is excellent, but you have a huge shortcoming, that is, your on-the-spot command, lack of necessary experience and decisiveness!" ”
This sentence is like a heavy hammer.
It hit Simon King's sore spot at once, and he quickly nodded and said, "That's right! In the first two games, I haven't found out. But it wasn't until today, when I played you, that I realized it. Pls sir, can you teach me? ”
"Good! The world says you're a megalomaniac, but I don't think you're proud. This is good. ”
Simon King could only smirk and continued, "Sir, you can teach me. ”
Armando said: "Experience cannot be taught. Well, I'll ask you one more question. ”
"Tell me."
"Your style of play today...... Who taught you? ”
Although Armando's words were said very casually.
But Simon King saw the slight tremor at the corner of the other party's eyebrows, and was obviously very concerned about this matter.
So he said decisively and bluntly: "To be honest, when I was studying your tactical play, I found a mangary of a senior's battle, and his name is Ricares Evangelista. ”
When he heard the name, Armando's hands shook involuntarily.
His breathing also became more rapid, as if it had something to do with it.
Simon King felt strange in his heart, but he didn't know that he should study it deeply, so he told the research process of his own set of playing methods.
“…… Truth be told, although Evangelista's predecessor's short-pass counterattack may have some shortcomings. But in any case, I think that the tactical thinking of this predecessor was at least fifty years ahead of that era. ”
"Do you really think so?" Armando asked, his eyes unusually determined.
"Yes. I really think so. ”
"And then?"
"Later, I used his theory as the foundation, and combined my good position with the big bus and high pressing, and finally came up with the current style of play."
After saying this, Simon King looked at Armando, looking forward to the other party's reaction.
But Armando didn't speak, as if he had thought of something unhappy, and after a long time he looked out the window and said, "In addition to the on-the-spot command, my second suggestion is about your tactics. ”
"What advice?"
Simon King's face changed color due to the solemnity of the other party.
He seemed to have a premonition that a great opportunity had befallen him.
