In the dream just now, he was going through a torment.
Pablo Becker, the core midfielder of the Navigators, led the entire Navigators team to continuously attack the defensive zone where he was located. He was attacked so hard that he was almost turned into a sieve.
Before the first half of the game was over, Madrid Pirates fell behind by three goals.
The last scene in his dream was him falling to the ground, looking at Becker's back from his skewed vision, and dribbling the ball towards the penalty area...
Then he woke up.
After waking up, he felt that something was wrong - Pablo Becker, like him, was an attacking midfielder, but Becker was not good at dribbling the ball and didn't like to do it. He mostly moved away from the defense.
After the players, they will pass the football out. It is rare to pass several people with the ball and go straight to the yellow dragon...
So this must be a dream.
Vukovich needed this thing to prove that what he had just experienced was just a dream, and that he was really frightened.
Now recalling everything he suffered in the dream, the feeling of powerlessness and despair still spread in his heart.
There seemed to be still faint boos from the home fans in my ears.
Listening carefully, it turned out to be the low-frequency hum of the exhaust fan in the bathroom.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of continuing to lie on the bed, he sat up in one breath.
"It's so unlucky..." Vukovich muttered.
On the day of the game against Sevilla Navigator, I actually had such a dream.
Does this mean that I will perform poorly in the competition?
But such a dream is not groundless.
As the saying goes, he thinks about things every day and dreams at night. The reason why he had such a dream was related to the problems he encountered recently.
Not counting the warm-up matches, he has already played five games with the team, including four league games and one Champions League game.
As a result, his performance cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, it can only be said to be mediocre.
No, actually saying that you are doing nothing is considered a compliment.
Vukovich knows exactly how he performed.
In the game against the Kings of Madrid, Danny Drew was ridiculed online for not guarding Melli. But in fact, Vukovich knew very well that Drew failed to guard Melli, and he was not the only one to blame.
, I also have a large part of the responsibility.
Because he frequently loses his position on defense, Mellie can always face Drew directly.
As a result, Drew was criticized the most because of his "famous scene" in which he raised his hands in the confrontation with Mellie and was passed over.
In comparison, thanks to Drew, he attracted much less firepower.
But Vukovich himself needs to know that next time he may not be so lucky to have someone help him attract firepower.
Maybe we don’t have to wait until next time, just today, in the home game against Sevilla Navigator.
Maybe it wasn't an illogical dream, but some kind of prophecy?
Vukovich sighed.
He originally thought that when he came to Madrid Pirates, he could constantly feed Hulay with shells behind him. While feeding Hulay into the top scorer, he also became the "assist king".
As a midfielder, what a blessing it is to be able to work with forwards who rarely complain?
After the result came, the head coach told him to move back and play as a central midfielder.
Not only must we attack, but we must also take into account defense. Even offense and defense should be split 50-50.
He admitted that as an attacking midfielder, his physical fitness is quite good. Playing in the Bundesliga also made his confrontation ability not inferior. So what the head coach said to him at the beginning may have some truth, otherwise why would he agree to the head coach's arrangement?
But obviously changing from a player who only plays as an attacking midfielder to a central midfielder is not as simple as talking about it.
Now Vukovich even feels that based on his previous performance, he may be taken out of the starting lineup by the head coach and replaced by the team's third captain Joaquin Vela in the game against Sevilla Navigator.
Because he played against the Phoenicians, he was replaced by Bella. After Bella came on, the team held on to the one-goal lead and won a difficult victory.
Comparing the two, he and Vela have completely different effects on the team after they come on the court.
I don’t know when it will be until I get another chance.
If he cannot start the game against Navigator, then there is a high probability that he will not be able to start the Champions League group match against the Turin Bulls next week.
What about the league match against Valentia at the weekend?
It's hard to say.
Because his inability to start is entirely due to technical reasons. Gu Xuan
Thinking of this, Vukovich was a little frustrated.
However, he still got up from the bed, simply put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Always have to face it.
Going from a familiar place to a completely unfamiliar environment, the coach has completely different tactical requirements and positioning... This is the risk of transfer.
How can there be so many people who kill everyone as soon as they arrive and adapt seamlessly?
If you think about it this way, Hu Lai is really awesome!
Vukovich slapped cold water on his face, then raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.
The water slid down his cheeks, dripping, dripping, and he looked a little embarrassed.
※※※
"Let's go, elementary school students, let's go eat!"
Hu Lai knocked on the door of Danny Drew's room.
Drew put on his coat and closed the door simply: "Let's go!"
Hu Lai didn't lie to his friends. When he called Drew that, they were really not angry.
But he is the only one in the team who dares to call Drew that. Others still don't have the courage, or don't have the shame to expose people like this...
Moreover, the relationship between Drew and Hu Lai is obviously good. People can allow Hu Lai to call him that, but they may not be happy for others to call him that.
The two walked out of the hotel door and saw the Pirates fans who had gathered on the roadside outside.
Drew is used to this scene. He knows that this is the tradition of the Madrid Pirates Club, and he also knows that when he returns from breakfast later, he will have to sign autographs for the fans one by one and satisfy their requests for photos.
This was an experience he had never had at Sporting Amsterdam.
The first time I participated in this activity was on the morning of the away match between Pirates of Madrid and Kings of Madrid.
At that time, he was surrounded by many Madrid Pirates fans, who had high hopes for him.
As a result, he disappointed the fans.
When he thought of this, Drew felt a little embarrassed.
Although he failed to guard against Merry, it was not his fault alone.
After that game, when Drew participated in the handshake signing ceremony again, there were significantly fewer people around him.
Pirates fans showed their attitude with their actual actions.
Drew didn't think this was because the Pirates fans were unsympathetic, because his performance was indeed not good enough, and he was the one who disappointed the Pirates fans in the first place.
If you want to enjoy the treatment of the stars again, you can only perform well in the competition.
The football world is that simple. If you perform well, everyone will sing your praises. If you perform poorly, they will just not ask for your autograph. That is really kind...

Han Shuyu stood in the crowd with a camera. She came outside the Aurora Hotel again, waiting to meet and greet Hu Lai, and asked him for a few autographs - these autographs would eventually become benefits for her fans, and she would draw them out
go.
Although she has become a part-time reporter, Han Shuyu has not forgotten her original intention and still insists on being her UP host.
Hu Lai and Han Shuyu are already very familiar with each other. Sometimes, at Han Shuyu's request, he would write on postcards something like "Don't forget to press three times in a row".
But in addition to coming to Hu Lai today to ask for fan benefits, she also wanted to observe and interview Madrid Pirates fans to see what they think of the team's recent performance, how they evaluate the new players, and what they think of Hu Lai.
view.
What makes her happy is that during the interview, she found that Madrid Pirates fans are quite tolerant of Hulay. Although Hulay's current number of goals is not as good as that of Melli, the fans have not complained. Some people even took the initiative to replace Hulay.
Rai defended and gave reasons that made Chinese fans feel ashamed - we don't love our football heroes more than these Spaniards!
But except for Hu Lai, others don't have such good reviews.
Especially the two new players Drew and Vukovic, although not everyone criticized them, many people made straightforward and merciless criticisms.
After all, their performance did not meet expectations...
"...I think Parotti should remove Vukovich from the starting lineup for this game." Some Pirates fans said this.
His words were immediately echoed by the fans around him:
"I agree. That boy Joaquin played well, but he has to make way for Vukovich. This is unfair!"
"I think we can give some tolerance and patience to the new players, but it shouldn't be during our game against the Navigators. I don't want to see the Navigators fans showing off at our home court..."
"Yes, Vukovich should be replaced! He always misses people and positions in the midfield."
"And Drew! Didn't he keep a clean sheet against Melli in the World Cup? Why did he become Melli's background in the local derby? Is it really worth spending nearly 100 million euros on a central defender?"
When everyone faced the microphone that Han Shuyu held out, they all had a strong desire to talk. They started chatting one after another and complained to the camera.
So Han Shuyu can feel that the Madrid Pirates fans are really dissatisfied with the team's previous performance, and they are also very concerned about the next game against Navigators.
If the Pirates lose this game at home, it might really set off a tsunami...
