"Although Vukovic did not assist directly this time, he also played a very important role in this goal. And this is why we signed him in the first place."
After finishing celebrating the second goal, Parotti said to assistant coach Valentin.
"Indeed, Vukovich helped us solve the transportation problem from our penalty area to the opponent's half." Valentin nodded.
The previous Madrid Pirates had a combination of Ramirez and Joaquin Vela in the middle of the midfield.
Ramirez is only responsible for defense, and Joaquin Vela has mediocre abilities.
So for opportunities like this, if it were changed to the past, either Ramirez or Joaquin Vela would have to transfer the football to Tonini on the left, or Silverio or Dikunzo on the right.
.
Then let them transition to the frontcourt.
In this way, the extra procedures will slow down the team's counterattack speed.
Now that Vukovic has replaced Joaquin Vela, the ball can be passed directly to the frontcourt with him.
Because Vukovic himself is an offensive midfielder with excellent offensive organizing ability. He has comprehensive skills and good accuracy in long and short passes.
His delicate foot skills allow him to rely on his skills to get rid of opponents even if he is pressed by the opponent's players in the backcourt. For example, the ball just now was like this. Facing Tres, Vukovich cleverly passed the ball.
Lost the other party.
This is why Parotti believes Vukovic can be a versatile midfielder.
He has good running ability, which can support him from one penalty area to another.
He has very delicate skills and is able to control the ball and get rid of the defense in a small space.
Good overall view and vision ensure that he can find gaps in the distance.
Excellent passing skills allow him to pass the football into the spaces he finds.
In addition, his physical condition gives him good confrontation ability, and he will not easily lose the ball whether in defense or offense.
Vukovic, who has so many advantages, is simply a attacking midfielder, which is indeed a waste of his talent and ability.
It's just that he was used to playing as an attacking midfielder before, so he was a bit "lazy" in playing.
So now we have to force him to step out of his comfort zone and not become the attacking midfielder who just wants to feed Hu Lai at the front of the opponent's penalty area.
This process is very painful and will also affect everyone's evaluation of him.
But Parotti always believed that it was worth paying all the costs.
As long as Vukovic can complete the transformation according to his vision, Madrid Pirates will have a truly world-class midfield master.
Until now, Parotti has seen some clues.
Next, he and the coaching staff will use this game to continue to convince Vukovic and let him voluntarily carry out transformation.
※※※
In fact, the coaching staff didn't even need to look for him. Vukovic on the field has already realized the benefits of this change.
It doesn't mean that if you let him play as a central midfielder and also take into account defense, he will not be able to participate in the offense or provide assists - wasn't he the direct assist for the team's first goal?
On the contrary, after moving back, he almost completely controlled the team's midfield. He was involved in defense and offense, as well as organizing and controlling the rhythm. He was involved in all of them.
what does that mean?
How could an excellent midfielder not desire to truly take the overall situation into his own hands?
Unless he has no ambition and no ability.
Vukovich thinks he has this ability.
So, if you can move deeper and control the entire midfield, why not?
He really enjoys the sense of control of fully participating in the team's offense and defense and grasping every detail.
There is a very strong sense of security.
Because every aspect is handled by him and is controllable.
Vukovic, who followed his teammates and ran back to his own half, found the direction for his next effort.
He suddenly has no interest in being a single-function attacking midfielder.
He became more and more interested in the "blueprint" that coach Parotti once drew for him.
Although that will greatly reduce his chances of winning the "assist king", in comparison, a true midfield master will obviously make him more excited than the "assist king".

After the game restarted, the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands cheered one after another, one wave after another.
A two-goal lead gave them hope of beating bitter rivals Sevilla Navigators at home.
At the same time, the team's performance was completely different from when it stumbled before, which made Pirates fans happy - this is the home team they want to see! Gu Zang
In the cheers of the Madrid Pirates fans, the home team's morale was boosted and they continued to launch fierce offensives towards the Sevilla Navigator goal.
The navigator could only squat down and hold his head.
Head coach Pierre Brunt stood on the sidelines and looked at the court speechlessly.
Generally speaking, there is no big problem with his tactics, but the team did not wait for the opportunity to continue to put pressure on Vukovich and conceded another goal.
Not only does it expand the opponent's lead, it also greatly encourages the opponent...
He really didn’t expect the jokes on the Internet to be true!
This Hu Lai is really in trouble with his team!
You really want to be a damn "celebrity"!
※※※
Facing the indiscriminate bombardment of Madrid Pirates, Sevilla Navigator, who was playing away from home, had to shrink their defense.
Although they are not willing to be beaten like this, they at least have to avoid losing the ball again before they can consider making a comeback.
Of course, since it is a game between two feuding people, how can it be a simple and ordinary shrinking defense?
The players of the Navigators made very big moves when defending. They seemed to hope to use such rough movements to scare the Pirates players and make them retreat. This would relieve the pressure on the Navigators' defense.
However, this has a side effect, that is, it will give the Madrid Pirates some opportunities to set the ball in the frontcourt.
And the Madrid Pirates have two free kick masters...
In the 69th minute, Hu Lai picked up the ball with his back in the frontcourt.
He withdrew from the penalty area to meet his teammates. He did not intend to post up the center back Arthur behind him, but transferred the football to Kamara on the right.
But as soon as he moved the football away, he was kicked to the ground by Arthur.
After a scream, loud and harsh boos erupted from the Pirates Park stadium.
Pirates fans raised their middle fingers at Arthur and shouted curses.
In their view, Arthur was deliberately targeting Hulay, either to steal the ball or to kick Hulay.
The Pirates players were also unhappy. Captain Ramirez was the first to rush forward and headbutt Arthur.
Not to be outdone, Navigator's midfielder Montero came up and pushed Ramirez away.
The players from both sides faced each other like this.
When Hu Lai got up from the ground, he saw such a lively scene.
Kamala asked him: "Are you okay, Hu?"
Hu Lai said: "It's okay, Ismail. Self-protection, self-protection."
Kamala nodded in admiration and said: "I knew it!"
Then he looked at the lively crowd and asked Hu Lai: "Why don't you go up and help?"
Hu Lai shook his head: "No, they can handle it well. Look, the captain has his hands behind his back from beginning to end... Do you know what this means, Ismail?"
Kamala shook her head.
"This means that when the referee is about to make a decision, our captain will most likely only be given a verbal warning, and neither Montero who pushed nor Arthur who committed the foul can escape at least a yellow card. Then sailing
The mentality of all the players was completely messed up."
"Ah..." Kamala said thoughtfully, "Self-protection."
Hu Lai turned to look at him strangely.
"This is also a kind of 'self-protection'. In a conflict, you provoke the other party's anger, but keep yourself in a relatively safe environment. Although it seems that Montero pushed him back a few steps, it seemed that he was at a disadvantage.
But in fact...it’s actually an advantage!”
Listening to Kamala's analysis, Hu Lai's eyes lit up: "Okay, Ismail! If you can draw inferences from one instance, you're almost ready to start!"
Kamara chuckled: "After you left the team, I have been studying the things you taught me. When opponents in the Premier League faced me, they really didn't dare to foul me casually..."
Hu Lai patted him on the shoulder: "Very good! We have a saying in China, which is 'live until you are old and learn until you are old'. Even if you leave the profession, you should continue to learn and improve yourself, don't slack off!"
"Don't worry, Hu. I will continue to work hard. I found that the intensity of confrontation in La Liga is not small, and many La Liga players prefer to make the first pounce when defending. The movements are larger, which is more likely to cause fouls and the possibility of injury.
On the contrary, it is even bigger than in the Premier League...it is even more necessary to use 'self-protection' well."
Hearing this, Hu Lai was 100% sure that Kamala had truly mastered his studies and might be able to start his own school in the future.
He gave Kamala a thumbs up: "NEW BEE!"
Hearing this phrase that everyone in the Leeds City team knows, Kamara showed a proud look on his face.
Being praised by the teacher fully proves that his efforts are not in vain!
