They lost to Nantes 2:1, and the whole team was not as interested in going to Paris as before.
That night, the whole team flew back to Moscow together.
On the flight back, the whole team's mood improved a bit.
In the final analysis, it is a lack of experience in the European war, or even a lack of backward experience.
Some of these players have just been promoted to the first team or have established themselves as the main force, and some are new players. Spartak has been monopolizing the Russian Super League in the past few years, and with several international players leaving, this team has really not experienced any turmoil.
Once the game was over, even though we lost, we still had an away goal, so it didn't feel that difficult.
In the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 1965-1966 season, UEFA began to implement the away goals rule.
In the second round of the Cup Winners' Cup that year, Hungary's Budapest Honved became the first team in history to advance on away goals - they defeated Dukla Prague 3-2 away from home.
Lost 1-2, but still passed smoothly.
This rule was subsequently used in the Fairs Cup and European Champions Cup.
If the scores in both rounds are the same, the team with more away goals will advance.
So after returning to the home court, as long as he scores a goal and defends 1:0, he has every chance of dragging Nantes to death.
Romantsev did not feel better because of the change in atmosphere. During the midfield, the team's silence was vivid in his mind. He had already felt the team's problems. The old captain Gorukovich gradually left the main lineup. In the second
Although captain Ceci is the main goalkeeper, his position is too far away.
Moreover, Chechi's personality is not that of a particularly leadership player, and as a goalkeeper, he doesn't really command the defense.
Romantsev gradually had an idea in his mind.
After returning to Moscow, he asked the players to rest. At 10 a.m. the next day, he personally knocked on the door of each dormitory.
"I'll give you 10 minutes to wash up. I want to see you sitting in the conference room at 10:15."
The conference room is more of a tactical room than a conference room. However, Romantsev, a former Soviet international, is obviously more accustomed to meetings, so he always calls the tactical room a conference room. This name alone reminds Lin Supo of his previous experience in Asia.
There were two meetings during the preliminaries.
"Damn it, shouldn't you have a rest today?"
Epifanov got up mumbling.
Lin Supo, who put on his shirt, kicked him angrily and said, "Hurry up, the coach won't kill you if you're late."
"Depend on."
Epifanov finally got up.
When they entered the tactical room, members of the coaching staff and the old captain Gorukovich, who was injured and did not go to France, were already sitting in the main seat and on both sides.
"Very good, you are not late."
Romantsev stood up with his hands on the conference table and walked around the table.
"I called you here today because I want to find out what everyone thought in France before. We are a young team, but we are also the leader. The entire Russian Super League is afraid of you. This is the first time I have seen any enthusiasm from you.
No, can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Seeing that no one was talking, Gorukovich took the initiative and clicked: "Ivanov Sergey, tell me what you think."
Ivanov Sergei Ludenkovich was only a substitute that day and did not play. When Big Brother ordered him, he looked confused. However, he noticed that Gorukovich's face was not kind, so he did not dare to speak back.
, had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I thought Nantes was very strong that day, and I couldn't figure out how to defeat them. I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't find a way."
"Very well, thank you for your candor, Mr. Ludenkovitch."
Romantsev looked at Konovalov, the main player in the midfield.
Konovalov took it upon himself to speak.
"I had the same idea. It was the first time I encountered such a strong opponent. At the end of the half, I found that there was no way to deal with them, and I felt like there was no hope."
"Okay, sit down."
Romantsev patted him on the shoulder and said: "I roughly understand what happened at that time. It's normal. I don't blame you. Even if we are the defending champions of the Russian Super League, we are not invincible. The defending champions of the Premier League are already
We went home in despair, and it was only a matter of time before we left the Champions League."
"I never thought you could defeat a super giant like Real Madrid, but the cowardice you showed disappointed me. Football can create miracles, but it is also difficult to create miracles. I know that on the field, you will not suddenly become a horse.
Ladona and Ceci will not become Yashin, but what I need is that, no matter what, you can fight until the last minute. Because you not only represent yourself, you also carry all Spartak fans in the entire region
The hope of the whole country, and even the competition that every country participates in, is called the European Champions Cup. You are Spartak and the champion of Russia!!!"
Obviously, Romantsev cannot accept the players' reasons.
As he said himself, he is very disappointed with today's young people.
When he plays football, even if the opponent is the powerful England, or the hateful Germans, the daunting Germans, the Germans with Beckenbauer, they will still fight to the end.
"I only saw one man and 10 cowards. Except for Subele, your performance really shamed our great motherland!"
With a clang, Romantsev slammed the enamel jar in his hand to the ground, and the entire tactical room was silent.
"You have to remember that you are already working, you can support your family, get married and have children. You are men. Every player is a man. You need to bear the responsibilities of a man! Whether it is for yourself or your family,
Your club and your country, your words and deeds, and your performance on the field must be worthy of every ruble you earn!"
Epifanov muttered in a low voice, "We use dollars now," but was kicked under the table by Shirko next to him.
The coach is very unhappy now. You really want to die and don’t drag everyone together.
Fortunately, Romantsev didn't hear it, otherwise Epifanov would have been arrested today, and the others would have been taken care of as well.
"After careful consideration, I want to make adjustments to the team's duties."
Romantsev looked at Lin Supo.
Lin Supo immediately had a premonition in his heart, and he was a little excited.
Growing up, he never even served as a group leader.
"Chechi changed from the second captain to the third captain. The original second captain was Subele, and Kolovanov was the fourth captain. Even if you are not the captain, everyone must understand that you are Spartak Moscow.
The players of Ke, and as the captains, you should be the role model for the team. Well, if there are no objections, that’s it for today. You can take a rest and train on time tomorrow.”
Ceci, who dropped one spot in the draft, had no objections. On the contrary, he did not want to take up a position in the team. It was just because those teammates had transferred and he and Gorukovich were veterans of the team.
Lin Supo didn't expect that he would directly become Captain Zhengyin.
The so-called second captain in Spartak is no different from the Zhengyin captain. Although the old captain Gorukovich is only 34 years old, his body has declined badly and he has suffered many injuries. Generally speaking, he is the second captain.
He is the captain on the field.
This made Lin Supo, who was originally very happy, feel pressured.
He had thought about becoming an official, but without someone tall enough to support him, the pressure he would have to face would be much greater.
