In basketball, there is the title of "Best Sixth Man", which refers to the most powerful rotation player among the substitutes. He can lead the team to resist the opponent's offensive when the main team is resting, or he can be as good as the main team after coming on the bench.
Performance.
In football, there is also a saying of the "Twelve Best", which are players who cannot play as the main force due to various reasons, but often play key roles. Such players may be due to physical fitness or injuries, or even forwards
There are too many linemen and he becomes a substitute, but because he is trusted by the head coach, he often performs well.
Of course, the substitutes are just substitutes after all, and are not as good as the main players in terms of fame and income. It all depends on how the players are selected. Some players are willing to be substitutes because of their feelings, while others think they can still save themselves and choose to leave.
For Wang Ai, being able to have a "super substitute" position is the most comfortable thing. Now that Depor's strength has declined compared with previous years, and its deterrence has been reduced, Wang Ai is not worried that there will be fewer key matches.
There will be worries that the national team competition tasks will be too heavy to take into account. In this way, Wang Ai can concentrate on a few games, and can receive training from the competition without having to bear too much burden.
After returning to the club the next day, during the afternoon training break, head coach Irueta specifically talked to Wang Ai and revealed this meaning. He was worried that Wang Ai would seek to be the main player because of his outstanding performance in this game. Although
The left midfielder Forlan is already a bit old, but the older he gets, the more cunning he becomes. Now his ability to score goals is reduced, but his ability to support and plan is constantly improving. And the right midfielder Victor is in his prime and often has outstanding performances, let alone
Beleron's waist is ahead of schedule.
Irueta was afraid that Wang Ai would fall out with these three, and that the young and energetic would insist on fighting over each other. Laco's dangerous financial situation could not tolerate the outbreak of internal conflicts.
Wang Ai laughed and appeased the bright-faced head coach, saying frankly that "super substitute" was a very charming title and that he was willing to play as a substitute at Deportivo.
Irueta happily said that as long as Wang Ai is in good condition, he will often be included in the squad. The two of them have reaffirmed Wang Ai's status in the team after Wang Ai's explosive save of the team.
Confirmation: From general substitute to super substitute, from the edge of the roster to the core of the roster.
Wang Ai is already very satisfied with this result. Europe has never lacked young talented stars, but in the top leagues, it is usually after the age of 17 to be the main player. The most famous young genius Rooney was only five days short of 17 last year.
He came on the bench. Prince Podolski of Cologne, whom Wang Ai likes very much, is also an 18-year-old talented player who has established himself in the Bundesliga.
If your body is not mature, no matter how good your technique is, it will not be able to bear it.
On this day, Wang Ai received many congratulatory calls and text messages from friends, and even accepted a phone interview with CCTV Sports Channel again. However, the processing was very short. Wang Ai had to carefully prepare for tomorrow's game with Eindhoven.
On the same day, Eindhoven had arrived in Deportivo and began to adapt to the Riazor Stadium. Although today's Eindhoven is still a giant in the Eredivisie, its performance in the international arena is sluggish.
Even their team has many well-known stars. For example, midfielder Van Bommel, right midfielder Park Ji-sung, left midfielder Robben, main defender Lee Young-pyo, and their head coach is the famous Hiddink.
Compared with Irueta's Spanish "King of Galicia", Hiddink is the coach standing in the front row of international football in this era. The only coaches with whom he is equally famous are Capello, Van Gaal, Ferguson and Ancelotti.
, Lippi and a few others.
Although Irueta sneered at this in his heart, he was very cautious in preparing for war. The football world is very broad for players. Even players at the level of football champions have many wealthy clubs to choose from. However, for the head coach, there are many wealthy clubs to choose from.
It seems very narrow, especially among the best coaches. Although their competition is tepid and does not attract attention, it is actually more cruel.
Very few coaches can stay with one team forever, most of them have to wander around constantly, and every dismissal is by no means a pleasant experience. Every dismissal is also caused by a blow from a "peer". Even if it is two
Even if there is a rival team, the players can "co-develop and make progress together". They will not be worthless just because they lose. But between coaches, it is the real "zero-sum game". If you win, I will lose.
How glorious you are, how unlucky I am, you give me a raise, but I dismiss class.
Especially for a civilian coach like Irueta, who has been famous for many years but has no chance to take charge of a wealthy team, and whose reputation and income are far less than those of big-name coaches, he has the urge to overthrow his opponents: If I don't step on you, I won't be able to get up.
Before the game, Irueta gave a very serious speech to the team, asking the team to press the Dutchman to the ground and rub him, and made a sound to win the opponent.
Hiddink acted very indifferently. He knew very well what a coach like Irueta was thinking, but he did not dare to underestimate Depor's strength. There is no reason for people to despise a strong La Liga team.
At 8:45 that evening, under the witness of Danish referee Klaus, the two sides started a fierce battle at the Riazor Stadium. In the end, with the cheers of the home team fans and the rainy weather in the autumn, the victory
Depor defeated their opponent 2:0, with Pandiani and Sergio scoring one goal each.
Wang Ai, who was still playing as a substitute in this game, did not get a chance to play, which inevitably disappointed the fans watching the game, and Irueta had no intention of explaining to Wang Ai.
But Wang Ai can understand. One is that Deportivo almost completely controlled the situation in this game and took a two-goal lead soon in the second half. It doesn't matter whether Wang Ai can play or not. In addition, Wang Ai played half the ball in the last game.
Irueta must be afraid that his condition is not good.
Anyway, we have won, so we should give other substitutes a chance to practice. It’s still early in the season.
Although it is regrettable that it is one more game before he and even Chinese players score a goal in the Champions League, but after the outbreak in the last game, the outside world's tolerance for Wang Ai has been strengthened a lot.
No matter what you say, I follow my own pace. If you really make me anxious, be careful as I activate the Ph.D. of Philosophy's spraying skills.
After the game, Wang Ai briefly exchanged views with Comrade Zhang Lu, a well-known CCTV source, and provided him with a lot of internal information for his TV commentary, including Wang Ai's judgment of himself, etc.
And just after class ended at noon the next day, when Wang Ai and Constance walked out of the campus together, they found a tall and beautiful woman standing at the school gate, smiling cautiously.
