Chapter 15 This Feels So Good
Updated: 2013-03-05
In fact, Dick has no doubt about Torres' goal - he used two goal cards, which means that Torres can score one goal next, at least he can equalize the score...
However, a draw was not what Dick hoped for. Although it seemed like a good result to win one win, two draws and four losses in the first game compared to the previous seven rounds, winning the draw in the first game seemed to be a very good result. However, in fact, Dick knew in his heart that whether it was his age or nationality, people would treat him with a more demanding attitude, so no matter what, he had to win this game and have to start a good start. Even if it was not so convincing, he had to win!
Now only winning can make Dick stand firm, at least reduce some doubts, and draws are not enough...
"As a matter of course, it can only add icing on the cake. Bargains are bargains." Dick thought to himself that in this game, he used up one-fifth of his storage. It seems that if he wants to truly become a top head coach, he still has a lot to learn.
But don’t worry about these for the time being, just win this game first!
Whether you can win depends on whether your observation in the first half is correct. What he observed in the first half was that Atletico Madrid second team's overall strength is still stronger than that of the opponent. However, if you press the attack, you must be careful of the opponent's quick breakthrough. Now he has made proper arrangements for this point. It seems that Naker does not have a good way to deal with this targeted defense, it depends on whether he can tear open the opponent's defense line in the offense.
He is still confident in Atletico Madrid's second team's offense, but Dick also knows that sometimes football games do not mean that you have the advantage. If you have a way to score, you will definitely be able to score and win. It depends on some luck...
On the court, after controlling the opponent's only counterattack opportunity with a huge threat, the morale of Atletico Madrid II players was greatly boosted. Sometimes a head coach who can make correct judgments and adjustments during the halftime break is quite helpful to the team's morale improvement. Before, Atletico Madrid II players were not familiar with this new head coach at all, and did not think that the head coach had any skills because of his age and nationality. However, now, after Dick made the correct judgment and was confirmed on the court, even if they did not convince Dick, at least they understood that following Dick's instructions, they would be easier to win.
This is very important - no player doesn't want to win. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Atletico Madrid second team players are relatively young and have little fame.
While constantly providing various passes to the penalty area, Torres is also constantly looking for opportunities to score goals. In fact, he has not received such treatment before. However, in previous games, he was still adapting to the transition from youth team to professional team. Even if he is a genius, it took a long time to adapt to this kind of adaptation. Former head coach Yaro did not wait for him to adapt. Dick met a situation where Torres had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Spanish Second Division, but his condition and confidence were not affected too much.
Coupled with the encouragement before the game and the help of those two magical goal cards, Torres had a big explosion in this game without warning.
Twenty minutes after the second half of the game started, after continuous offense and passes, Torres scored another goal!
The midfielder's long shot was blocked by the opponent's defender with his body. Carlos intercepted the ball and quickly stuffed the ball into the penalty area. Torres took the ball at a little in the penalty area. He first made a fake shot directly and lured the opponent's defender to fly over and block it, but then quickly dunked the ball and flashed past the opponent's defender!
"Torres has made a breakthrough! He is very close to the goal!"
The commentator on the scene shouted excitedly, and the fans who were still scolding Dick couldn't help but stand up and stared at the penalty area.
Torres did not allow the suspense to continue. After flashing past the opponent's last defender, he did not make any fake moves in the face of the goalkeeper who was attacking, but directly pushed the ball!
The opponent's goalkeeper fell to the ground a little slower, and the ball flew past his armpit and went straight into the blind spot of the goal!
"The ball is in--" the live commentator shouted in a long voice.
Countless Atletico fans jumped up from their seats and cheered the arrival of the goal.
Although their genius Torres did not score goals in the seven league rounds before, he now scored two!
Scoring twice!
"A genius is a genius! After a very short adaptation period, he immediately scored two goals!"
Many Atletico Madrid fans were thinking this way in their hearts, completely forgetting that they had doubts about Torres before, thinking that the "genius" component may be a bit unworthy of the name...
While the fans in the stands closest to the home team coach's seat were cheering, they saw a discordant scene. They saw the young head coach who had been booed by them for most of the game standing in the stands, tilting his head, opening his right hand to his right ear, listening carefully to the cheers in the stands, and looking intoxicated...
"Damn, our cheers are not for you!"
"What a self-indulgent guy!"
Atletico Madrid fans in the stands began to shout, but after they started shouting, Dick took back his hand, turned around and left them with a back, and cheered at the court with his arms open.
"This guy is really annoying!" Many people began to grit their teeth.
Is there anything wrong with swearing you just now? You have to defend if you are behind. If we didn’t swear you, I’m afraid you won’t have an offense in the second half? Now, I just equalized the score and challenged us like this. What an annoying guy!
Dick didn't care about the mood of these guys anymore. He was just celebrating his second goal - and then he was a little worried. Both goal cards were used up. Whether the goal could be scored next depends on the players' performance...
So he shouted loudly at the players who were still celebrating on the court: "Hey! Guys, remember to continue attacking like this next! Just use this method to hit them, and we have to make the third one and win this game!"
His voice was also loud enough. As the cheers in the stands gradually subsided, it clearly fell into the ears of Atletico Madrid second team players.
Although he still uses English, the players of Atletico Madrid second team already understood what he meant.
Offense! Keep offense! Until you win this game!
They have never been as confident as they are now, and Torres is even more confident. His eyes looked at the off-court and the young head coach was really right! He said that he could score at least two goals, and he really scored two goals now!
If that's the case, then work harder and try to make a hat trick - this will make it even more extraordinary!
At this time, Lyrida was hit hard. They had an absolute advantage on the field after scoring two consecutive goals through counterattacks in the first half. They felt that there was no problem with winning a game in this game. Even if they knew that Atletico Madrid's second team was very strong, they already had the advantage and there would not be too much problem in winning!
However, all this was immediately reversed after the start of the second half. Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack, and used two players to stare at Naker, who had the strongest personal ability. Then the midfielder who came on the bench also firmly stuck Lerida's counterattack route, allowing them to withstand the opponent's almost endless attack!
Although Atletico Madrid's second team's offensive ability is definitely not as good as those top teams, with clear levels and strong continuity when attacking, Lyrida's defense still has a chance to breathe, but she has no ability to counterattack at all. What should I do if I keep defending like this?
Lerida's head coach also made a difficult problem. If you want to say that experience, he must be much stronger than Dick, but he does not have the right players to rotate tactically. As a team that can only pursue relegation in the Spanish Second Division, it is already very good for Lerida to come up with a good main lineup. Put two excellent players on the bench? They are not so luxurious yet...
This is the gap in the background between top teams and small teams. Atletico Madrid is one of the most powerful teams in La Liga. Their second team members are of course not weak. Facing Lerida, both overall and individual, they all have certain advantages.
So when there is no problem with the defense line, they can still do it if they have to continue to attack.
Lerida's coach changed two defenders in a row, but it only made the midfielder even more at a disadvantage. They piled up enough players in the backcourt to keep the draw until the end of the game.
For relegation teams, it is a pity that they have lost a chance to score three points, but it is also good to get one point away. At critical moments, this point may solve many problems.
Atletico Madrid and the second team started to attack, leaving only two defensive players behind to pay attention to Naker, who was cruising in the frontcourt alone. The others rushed up and passed back and forth. After receiving the ball, they passed into the penalty area.
There are already many people in the opponent's penalty area. In this case, even if there are many passes, it is difficult to find a chance to score. Scoring in such difficult situations is the true expression of the star!
It is obvious that although Torres is not a star yet, he has the potential to be a star. That is, in such a fierce confrontation environment, the fans in the stands burst out with all their enthusiasm and passion!
When the game reached the 83rd minute.
After breaking through the wing, Domingo, who had been crossing, received a pass from his teammate and pretended to go down the bottom. After attracting the opponent's attention, he drove the ball to the middle and forced a breakthrough!
His breakthrough caused a chaotic situation on Lerida's defense line. Lerida's defenders began to concentrate more in the penalty area. At this moment, Domingo directly divided the ball to the sideline and handed it to the right back Elbari who was inserted into the side.
After receiving Domingo's pass, Elbarri quickly went down the bottom - several more Lerida's defenders began to pounce on him, and after a while, Lerida's defense began to get messy.
Elbarri directly passed the ball into the penalty area, the ball flew to the back point, Torres accelerated and got rid of the central defender who was guarding him, rushed to the bottom of the ball landing point and jumped high, then shook his head to attack the goal!
The ball flew into Lerida's gate without any suspense! The entire metropolitan stadium immediately burst into a huge roar - Torres' hat trick, a winning goal that once again overtook - is there anything more exciting than this?
When the huge roar began to sweep the entire metropolitan court, Dick raised his arms as if no one was around and looked proudly at the situation on the court.
Although he used two goal cards, the reversal of the entire second half was directed by him, which made him feel extremely excited and confident!
"This feeling is so good!"
Chapter completed!
