Mario Salado watched the football go over the crossbar. After finishing the shot, he seemed to have lost all the strength in his feet and could no longer support his body, so he dived and fell to the ground.
At the same time, there was a burst of gloating laughter from Madrid Pirates fans in the stands.
This is for Salado.
As a talented player trained by Catalan United’s own youth training echelon, Mario Salado can be said to have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Among the echelons of all ages, he is the top one.
Naturally, he believes that he will become a star in the Catalan United first team, just like Melli enjoyed the treatment at King Madrid.
He won the La Liga Best Young Player Award, the European Best Young Player Award... everything is replicating the path Melli has taken, so he will definitely grow into a player like Melli in Catalonia.
But in the end he did not become what he and others expected.
Logically speaking, he actually performed well in the Catalan United first team, otherwise he would not have won the European Best Young Player Award.
But compared to his target Meili and his competitor Hu Lai, his performance was really "mediocre".
Especially after seeing Hu Lai's crazy performance last season, this talented player who once wanted to beat Hu Lai has given up such thoughts.
Ninety-five goals in a single season...this is really uncompetitive!
What's more, he still has the big mountain of Kabangka to overcome in the team.
It is obvious that the current core of the team is Brazilian, not his "direct descendant" trained by Catalonia itself.
Just like the two players' positions on the field, he is on the left, and his range of activities is basically limited to this side.
Although Kabangka is nominally on the right wing, his position is very flexible in actual games and can even be permanently stationed in the middle.
In order to adapt to Kabangka's characteristics, the team even replaced their previous main right back Pablo Osqui, because although Osqui is fierce in defense, he is not good at assists.
So this summer, the team spent 42 million euros to introduce the young Portuguese international Rico Hidalgo from the Portuguese giants Porto United.
The Portuguese right back is fast and very good at assisting. Although his defense is slightly inferior, head coach Reilly Vicente doesn't care because Hidalgo was the one he asked the club to introduce by name.
With Hidalgo joining the team, Kabangca can stay in the center, leaving the right wing open to Hidalgo, who has a strong assist ability.
Although this will result in the loss of some defensive capabilities, it can ensure the team's offensive firepower.
And all this is because of Kabangka.
It is clear at a glance who is the core and who is the auxiliary.
But in fact, Mario Salado could have become the core of the team.
How did it become like this?
In the final analysis, I'm afraid it's because of his poor ability to seize scoring opportunities...
Just like this ball.
Kabangka has attracted almost all the Madrid Pirates' defensive forces, leaving him with a huge gap, and then passed the ball to him.
It can be said that he put all the cake into his throat.
But he was still able to pick his own throat and spit out the cake...
How can such a performance allow the club to support him as its core?
Which core will squander important opportunities in games?
And compared with Kabangka, who can only play on the wing, he does not have the conditions to become a core player.
Listening to the roar of laughter in the stands, Mario Salado turned around and saw Cabangka giving him a thumbs up.
He was slightly surprised.
If this happens in training, the Brazilian will definitely be dissatisfied with himself because he wasted the opportunity he created.
He was often "educated" by Kabangka during training:
"Mario, you should be like this..."
"Mario, you should be like that..."
"Mario, you shouldn't be like this..."
"Mario, you shouldn't do that..."
…
But on the playing field, the Brazilian genius who was said to be as famous as Melli was unexpectedly tolerant. Not only did he not accuse him of wasting opportunities, he also gave him a thumbs up.
What can you like about your performance just now?
Even Salado himself felt ashamed that he wasted this opportunity.
※※※
When Salado received the pass again, there was a shout from the stands near him:
"Thank you, Salado! Thank you!"
Of course, the home team fans were not really thanking him, but mocking him.
And I hope to use this kind of ridicule to affect Salado's next performance.
Amid their cheers, Salado did not choose to break through with the ball, but quickly passed the ball out again.
It can still be clearly seen that he was affected by the missed opportunities before and seemed a little lack of confidence.
Originally, he could break through directly, but now he passed the football to Kabangka in the middle.
His pass was so sudden that Kabangka was completely unprepared and the football flew over with great power.
At this time, the Brazilian's super sense of the ball was revealed - despite the rush to catch the ball and despite Salado's strong pass, Kabangka still struggled to stop the football.
Of course, it is inevitable to stop a little too much.
But a superb player can always turn emergencies that may occur at any time on the field into conditions that are favorable to him.
In other words, a player who can always make the optimal choice in the face of various emergencies on the court is a top player.
There is no doubt that Kabangka is such a top player.
Not only did he not let the stoppage become his mistake, but he took advantage of the opportunity to get between Ramirez and Joaquin Vela in one breath!
He changed the stopping ball into a passing ball!
Fortunately, Danny Drew was focused and predicted in advance the actions that Kabangka might take.
So when Kabangka just took the football out, Drew, who was originally in the penalty area, stepped forward to meet him.
Then when Kabangka caught up with the football, he stretched out his foot to intercept it.
The two exchanged a fierce kick at the edge of the penalty area. After a muffled sound, Kabangka fell to the ground before losing his balance.
Drew's body also swayed, but he still stabilized his center of gravity and quickly moved the blocked football away.
Madrid Pirates took advantage of the situation to launch an attack.
In the end, Hulay completed the shot, but the ball was held by Catalan United goalkeeper Toney Schulman.
Seeing Schulman hug Hulay's shot, Kabangka, who was returning to defense, ran towards Salado.
Then he pulled him, covered his mouth with his hands and said: "You shouldn't have passed the ball to me just now, Mario. You should have broken through directly. You have the advantage of speed. As long as it is sudden enough, their right back will not be able to react."
.”
At this moment, Mario Salado seemed to be back on the training ground.
As long as he performs poorly and makes a mistake, Kabangka will directly criticize him publicly without waiting for the coach to stop.
At first, Salado was dissatisfied with Kabangca's approach, but he couldn't stand the head coach and sided with the Brazilian and fully supported him.
Salado could only curse, or occasionally stab Cabangka in a weird way.
However, Kabangka never got angry with him, but discussed the matter as it happened and pointed out his problems, as if he did not hear the dissatisfaction in Salado's words.
To be honest, as a talented player who has been famous for a long time, he always thinks highly of himself.
Anyone would feel unhappy being taught such a lesson in front of others.
So even if we don't talk about the potential competitive relationship between the two people, the relationship between Salado and Cabangca is not considered good.
If it had been before, after being kidnapped by Cabangla and "teaching" him how to play football, Salado would probably have rolled his eyes inwardly, even if he didn't say anything on the surface.
But this time, maybe it’s because of the previous likes.
Faced with Kabangka's criticism, Salado nodded simply: "Okay, I will pay attention next time."
Kabangka patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, Mario. You are a sharp knife, don't be blunt."
Salado reacted reflexively and said, "It's really strange to hear you praise me..."
Kabangka seemed to have not heard the subtext of his words at all. He smiled, turned around and ran away.
Behind him, Salado kept watching him.
※※※
Gaspar Rosas got the ball in the midfield. He was about to pass it to Kabangka, but he saw Kabangka gesture to him, telling him to move the football to the left wing.
Although it is not actually a very good opening there, Rosas now respects Kabangca's idea very much.
Since Kabangka wants the team's offense to go in that direction, he will naturally cooperate.
It was just such a delay, and now Rosas has lost the best opportunity to pass the ball.
Vukovic rushed forward to steal the ball from his feet.
Rosas seemed to be still observing the situation on the left, not seeing Vukovich at all.
But when Vukovich really pounced and stretched out his foot to steal the ball, Rosas's outside instep of his right foot pushed the football to the outside of his body, and at the same time he turned around and blocked Vukovich with his body.
Then he continued to move the ball with the outside instep of his right foot, making a circle with Vukovich as the axis.
Vukovic stretched his legs continuously to steal the ball but failed.
Every time he steals the ball, the ball is always blocked by Rosas' body just right, causing him to fail to steal the ball.
After making a circle like this, Rosas faced the attacking direction again and saw the situation on the left side.
Mario Salado is making a diagonal pass from the wing to the ribs.
Under the harassment of Vukovic, Rosas decisively sent a through ball!
The football flew forward quickly against the turf, like a hot knife cutting through butter, penetrating the defense of the Madrid Pirates!
Salado took advantage of his speed and forced his way through. Madrid Pirates' right back Irazusta came from Catalonia, but failed to gain a foothold in Catalonia - he did not compete with Argentine right back Pablo Osqui.
, so I chose to come to Madrid Pirates.
Faced with Salado's speed advantage, he seemed to be struggling.
Even though he used his hands and feet, he still couldn't stop Salado. He turned around and was blocked by Salado!
"Salado! Salado!"
Amid the continuous exclamations of commentator Sanchez, Salado received the ball behind the Madrid Pirates defense!
Almost a single sword!
Upon seeing this, Hewel rushed forward decisively and blocked the angle of his shot.
Salado tried to take the ball to the outside, but as soon as he pushed the ball away, he suddenly passed the football across the field with his left foot!
The football almost passed in front of Hywell, but he had no time to react and could only watch the football roll toward the center.
And there...
Catalan United center Emond Pettersson is tangled up with two Madrid Pirates centre-backs.
Then a figure shot out from in front of the three of them!
"Kabanka!"
The Brazilian rushed to the goal and swept the ball horizontally from Salado!
The football flew into the goal that was no longer guarded!
