Chapter 80: Lost Confidence!

"Hey! Plum! ……”

When Li Chuanqi arrived at the training ground for the third time, the supporters of Santa Málaga greeted him warmly.

Li Chuanqi has been treated the same as the rest of the team, and is no longer the youngest and dispensable person in that team.

Li Chuanqi responded to them politely, dodged the eager gaze of the "female traitor" Thomas as quickly as possible, put on football boots and ran into the field.

"Hey! …… Lilia has to work hard, otherwise such a good boyfriend will run away......"

Thomas didn't understand why Li Chuanqi wanted to avoid his gaze.

Soon after, the players arrived and Antonio began training in earnest.

Five days later, the second leg of the quarter-finals will determine whether Santa Málaga can go one step further and reach the semi-finals.

If Santa Malaga reach the semi-finals, they will make European football history and set the best result for any team at the lowest level in a cup competition.

The 3-2 first leg laid a solid foundation for them to advance to the semi-finals, but the opponent is currently the third-ranked team in La Liga, and their strength can be imagined.

The first leg also made Santa Malaga deeply realize that if it were not for the favor of Lady Luck, the opponent would have sealed the victory in the first half.

Amid media criticism, there is no doubt that Valencia will certainly give it their all in the second leg.

Well, in the end, no one can be sure who will make the cut.

"Zukulini! Supplemental defense!! …… Barris Addo has blocked, you have to make up for it as fast as possible! ”

Li Chuanqi broke through the defense of Barris Addo and fired a shot from the edge of the box to break through the goal guarded by MiG, and Antonio was unhappy with the defense of the central defender.

Zucullini signaled that he knew, and muttered: "I'll go and make up for it, Lee will definitely pass the ball to Liag, and then you will accuse me of missing the defense......"

He didn't blame Barris Addo for failing to defend Li Chuanqi, because now there is no one in the team who can snatch the football from Li Chuanqi's feet one-on-one.

Even Pablo, who has the best defense, can't slow down Li Chuanqi's advance at most.

That's all.

"Mine! This ball is mine! ”

Pablo immediately took the blame on himself: "I didn't retreat fast enough!" ”

"Hey! …… This ball ......"

Li Chuanqi grabbed the point in front of the goal and shot successfully, Antonio wanted to blame his back line again, but he couldn't say it, because Li Chuanqi seemed to know the landing point of the side cross in advance, and quickly inserted it from outside the penalty area to the front point, and completed the point-grabbing shot.

How can this be prevented?

"Li's ability to grab points in front of the door is getting stronger and stronger!"

"This should be because his sense of smell in front of the door is becoming more and more sensitive!"

"Nope! This is the ability to predict, super ability to predict! A unique super premonition ability, the same ability as Inzaghi! ”

The goal made the supporters of Santa Málaga, who were sitting in the stands, argue excitedly.

At the end of the one-and-a-half-hour training session, Antonio gathered the players together for a summing up.

After summing up, it was the players' turn to give their opinions, and the backline, which had been criticized by Antonio, gave its opinion.

Baris Addo said: "I admit I can't defend Lee, but as soon as Zucullini comes over to make up for it, he passes the ball to Liag ......"

Zukulini nodded: "That's one of the difficulties, we don't know what to do a lot of the time. ”

Mig said: "Coach, instead of putting hope on our backline, we should put hope on the front line. With Lee and Liag, the golden striker pair, he scored one goal, we scored two, and in the end it was still us who won! ”

These words seem to resonate with the players, who support them.

Liag patted his chest with satisfaction, and then put his hand on Li Chuanqi's shoulder: "No problem, the matter of scoring goals is on our master and apprentice!" The matter of promotion is put on our master and apprentice! ”

Li Chuanqi turned his head to look at Liag who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, okay, what you said makes sense, this is the confidence that Real Madrid's academy gives you?

Antonio opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

Is this the confidence of the mystery?!

Well, based on past results, it seems like that's the case.

However, I always felt that something was wrong......

"However, the two of them have now caught the attention of the teams, Valencia suffered a loss in the first leg, won't they be defended in the second leg?"

Yes, that's it.

Antonio asked his question.

"Ordinary people can't stop the two of them!"

Zucullini, who was "abused" by the pair of mentors and apprentices, disagreed with the coach.

"Ordinary people? Is Valencia's backline average? They are the third best defence in La Liga! Without this defence, can Valencia be in third place? ”

Damn, when did you guys stop taking the top three teams in La Liga out of sight?!

"Actually, they're not very good."

MiG immediately expressed his opinion: "They are so good, they haven't scored three goals by this pair of masters and apprentices!" ”

Liag thought so and gave MiG a thumbs up, yes, this team is getting more and more promising, look at this self-confidence, it is worthy of being nurtured by me!

Antonio's eyes widened, damn it, can this team still take it?

It's swelled to this extent!

Pablo said: "Lee and Liag have confidence and there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't think there's a problem with what the coach said, we do have problems at the back. ”

The players immediately closed their mouths and began to think seriously about the captain's words.

MiG nodded and said: "What the captain said is very reasonable, our defense line does still have problems to solve, especially the frontal protection ...... in front of the penalty area."

Barris Addo said: "I think I still hesitate sometimes to step up and work with the captain to stifle the opponent's attack in the cradle. ”

The wind immediately changed and the backline began to discuss what they could improve.

Antonio breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally got back on track.

He didn't have a trace of jealousy and resentment towards Pablo, he knew very well that this team could do without him, but it was all over without him.

Because this team was pulled up by Pablo, from weak to now the dominant side of the D League.

No one knows exactly how much Pablo has paid.

Take Liag, for example, who used to play in a D team in Madrid.

In a League D game, Santa Málaga suffered a heavy defeat, and Liag shone in the game to complete a hat-trick.

After the match, Pablo approached Liag and asked him to join San Málaga.

Can the solicitation be successful?

Are you kidding!

However, what is surprising is that I don't know what Pablo said, Liag actually came to Malaga from Madrid to join Santa Málaga.
