Arthur was targeted by the Madrid Pirates, and everyone can see this.
The Sevilla Navigator coaching staff on the sidelines is naturally no exception.
But they can't get another centre-back, Victor Poyatos, to help.
There are only four defenders and two central defenders. Each one has his own defensive zone and cannot run around casually.
Defense emphasizes positioning and discipline far more than offense.
Whoever's position belongs to whoever has it, and you must not visit each other, otherwise big problems may easily occur.
Therefore, even though he saw that the situation on Arthur's side was somewhat critical, Navigators head coach Pierre Brunt did not instruct Poyatos to switch positions with Arthur.
If you are used to playing left center back, you will still have problems if you move to the right center back position.
In the end, Brent made an adjustment plan to let defensive midfielder Victor Montero help Arthur to withstand the attack of the Madrid Pirates.
He could see that the Madrid Pirates took advantage of the momentum after the goal and launched a fierce offensive.
But they can't keep going like this.
They are not bloody Leeds City after all.
So as long as we hold on for this period of time, the pressure on the defense can be greatly reduced.
When the time comes, the Navigators will control the ball and attack, and at least they will be able to maintain a balance.
Brent looked at his watch and saw that there were still about twenty minutes until the end of the game.
To score two goals in twenty minutes... is a bit difficult, but not impossible.
※※※
The reason why Brent was able to ask Montero to help Arthur and play as a central defender was mainly because the Madrid Pirates' midfield did not have a top offensive midfielder like Pablo Becker.
Madrid Pirates' four midfielders, in the center are Juan Ramirez and Joaquin Vela.
Among them, Ramirez is a pure defensive midfielder with excellent defensive ability, but his offensive level is very average, and he has almost no long-range shots.
Joaquin Vela's offensive and defensive balance.
This is a nice way of saying it.
A bad way to say it is "mediocre offensively and defensively".
Vela is a talented player trained by the Madrid Pirates themselves, and he has the advantage of having a household registration. In addition, he is indeed a hardworking and versatile player, so Parotti has high hopes and focuses on training.
Although his offense and defense are mediocre now, he has just turned twenty-five after all, and there is still room for growth, although it is not much. But Bella has always been diligent and hard-working, and his tireless running and solid basic skills have indeed made him a success.
Rotti is an important part of the team's midfield.
What he needs to improve is his awareness, the awareness to handle the ball correctly.
Currently, the Madrid Pirates' offense mainly relies on two wings.
Especially on the left wing, the combination of Cardoso Toni and Ion Martinez is top-notch in La Liga.
Therefore, some media nicknamed their group "Angel Left Wing".
From this nickname, you can tell that the Madrid Pirates' embarrassing angel only has a left wing and no right wing, so the Madrid Pirates are "disabled angels" who fly with one wing.
Why is there no right wing?
Because Silverio on the right is in good and bad form. When he is good, he is fully worthy of his worth of 70 million euros. When he is bad, he is the biggest parallel import of Madrid Pirates.
The Pirates also wanted to pursue excellent right midfielders or right wingers this summer, but due to various reasons, they failed to successfully win several targets they were interested in. So even if Silverio's condition is unstable, they can only make do with it.
Let him continue playing. At the same time, I pray that his good condition can last longer...
In addition, the team's right back Jose Irazusta has just joined the team this season, and he and the team are also facing running-in problems.
So the right wing of Madrid Pirates has not yet been formed.
As the main defensive midfielder of Sevilla Navigators, Montero was able to retreat to help Arthur because the Madrid Pirates' midfield attack did not pose much threat.
Of course, he still has to take care of the midfield defense. After all, he is only there to help, and he is not a serious central defender.

In the previous attack, a cross was passed from the wing, and Hu Lai went to compete for the top, but he did not top the ball and instead collided with Montero.
The other person pushed him hard.
In the end, neither of them got any points.
However, the football was pushed away by Poyatos, so Montero still completed the defensive task.
Hulay turned around and took a look. The opponent was a Uruguayan player.
So he reminded the other party in Spanish: "Be gentle, brother. Do you also want to memorize a card?"
Montero glanced at Hulay.
He still remembers the Europa League final.
I heard Hergures talk about Hulay touching the trophy before the game. He also said at that time that he wanted Hulay, who did not believe in evil, to see the cruelty of fate.
As a result, the Seville navigators saw how cruel fate is...
This is really a very bad memory.
So now when he heard what Hu Lai said, Montero subconsciously believed that he could do what he said.
If I really get a yellow card from this kid...then the game will be really difficult!
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Hu Lai said again: "Or...brother, if you don't do those little tricks, you won't be able to guard against me?"
Montero took a deep breath and resisted the thought of spraying it back.
He realized that the other party was provoking him and trying to anger him.
So be careful with your movements and never take any chances on this kid.
Stay calm, Montero!

Daniele Di Kunzo is an Italian international who joined Madrid Pirates from Ferenc last summer.
He has not played in the Europa League between Ferenc and Leeds City, nor has he actually had contact with Hulay on the court.
But he has been teammates with Albertazzi for three seasons and is very familiar with the abilities of this talented Italian goalkeeper.
Using Albertazzi as a reference standard, he knew how powerful Hulay was.
This is a man who can score a hat-trick in front of Albertazzi!
He still remembered how he felt when he learned that Albertazzi had conceded three goals in a single game. He thought the news was wrong.
For this reason, he specially went to look for game highlights.
After watching it, I was shocked by Hu Lai's performance.
Both forwards, he often played against Albertazzi in team training when he was at Ferenc.
Even against training with lower intensity, he failed to score three points against the "Iceberg".
This is a shooter born to score goals!
So during the halftime break, head coach Parotti asked him to use his skills to create chaos near the Sevilla Navigator penalty area and then looked for Jule.
He has no opinion.
If Hu Lai were replaced by a young boy who had just arrived in Europe, he would definitely criticize the head coach's arrangements in his heart.
But he won't feel uncomfortable if he is asked to make a wedding dress for someone who can break the "iceberg".
Not to mention Hu Lai's goal just now.
Strictly speaking, that's not a very good opportunity.
Because the defensive players and offensive players are stuck together and too close to each other. There is not enough space.
However, Hu Lai still relied on his superb ability to judge the placement of the football, accurately found the space where he could kick, and completed a wonderful volley.
The reason why Sevilla Navigator goalkeeper Duric did not make a save was because he did not expect Hulay to complete the shot from that place.
Di Kunzo is only 1.68 meters tall, so in terms of his ability to grab points, he is really inferior.
Most of his eighteen goals last season were scored after breakthroughs.
He can contribute 3.8 dribbles per game, which ranks among the top ten in Europe.
Scoring in this way is very inefficient.
But if it is used to assist...
The short stature of Di Kunzo has a very low center of gravity, so even though his body is not strong, he can still keep up with the physical confrontation in dribbling.
It seems to be stumbling, but it is not easy to lose the ball.
Just like now, he receives the ball with his back to the direction of attack.
Sevilla Navigator midfielder Becker was behind him and didn't want him to turn around.
But Di Kunzo took advantage of his low center of gravity and simply moved the football to the side, then turned around... and it turned out successfully!
When Becker stretched out his foot to steal the ball, he went around from the side and directed the football towards the Sevilla Navigator penalty area!
Faced with the central defender Poiatos who came up to intercept, Di Kunzo raised his left foot to pass the ball across. Poiatos was deceived and stopped for a moment, trying to intercept his passing route, but he raised his foot.
The left foot then dunked the football into the penalty area!
When Poiatus tried to turn around again, he was already obviously a step too late.
Compared with the short and nimble DiQuinzo, he looked like a big robot with rusty joints all over his body.
When Di Kunzo broke into the penalty area, Sevilla Navigators fans booed in the stands.
Amidst the boos, Di Kunzo continued to bring the football forward, and after leading goalkeeper Dulic to the forward point, he passed the football sideways with his right foot.
In the middle, Montero glanced at Hu Lai and found that he was accelerating and wanted to go around to grab a point, so he quickly accelerated and stepped forward to block Hu Lai's route.
In the end, Hu Lai stepped forward and only took a feint shot!
After making this fake move, he immediately flashed from behind Montero to the other side of him, still going around, but not from the right, but from Montero's left!
Squeeze in between Montero and Artur!
When Atul saw Hu Lai intervene, he quickly raised his hands to indicate that his hands were not moving.
Carrying a yellow card, he is really in a state of panic, fearing that he will give the opponent a penalty kick and receive another yellow card, then he will have to end...
Montero watched the football being passed to his left, then turned around and saw Hulay appearing there, blocking Arthur behind him.
Arthur was halfway through the tackle and did not dare to continue. He raised his hands and half-knelt on the line of the small penalty area.
Unaffected, Hu Lai raised his right foot, crossed his ankle, and knocked the rolling football towards the empty goal!
Goalkeeper Dulic turned over and pounced back, but it was too late!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Hu! Hu!! Scored twice! Madrid Pirates leads Sevilla Navigators 3:1 in the away game!!"
