Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 243

The game continues.

Hummels' new mission was an inspiration to his team-mates.The red-haired teenager Kaulbeck witnessed the German's long pass and thought to himself: Hey, I can do this too!

The red-haired boy ran back to his defense zone while looking back at Vardy.

Vardy has been working hard this season, and his running distance has always been among the top few in the team.But on the court, he often feeds people cakes, and rarely eats cakes himself.Although this guy never complains, but as a professional player, he still wants to score goals.

The person in the Sunderland team who has the best understanding with Vardy is Colbeck. The two looked at each other and confirmed their eyes-Valdy was immediately overjoyed, very good, he should be able to eat cakes soon.

Sure enough, Kaulbeck, who was inspired by Hummels, quickly started to find Vardy from the right.

Jamie Vardy was on the left and the West Brom side were stunned when Kaulbeck's unerring pass found him - nervously guarding Crouch from getting the ball. There is another Vardy?

Moreover, Vardy is in better condition than Crouch. Once he gets the ball, it is like a sharp knife, piercing the opponent's vitals.The speed of his short-range start is astonishingly fast. The opponent's defender originally planned to intercept him head-on, but in a blink of an eye he had to get up and chase him.Immediately there was danger in front of West Bromwich Albion.

Colback was enjoying watching in the backcourt, and at this time he received the eyes of the "rich second generation" Flanagan player.

Flanagan is really unwilling to be lonely. His teammates all have direct support points. He can only pass from the bottom at the right back position?

So Colbeck gestured to Mr. Ferguson and compared his height. Flanagan immediately understood that he still had an option to pass the ball to Shaqiri.Flanagan himself is not too tall, and he usually has many opportunities to train with Shaqiri, and the two have a tacit understanding.

So Flanagan was in the backcourt. Once he intercepted the ball, he also tried his best to find Shaqiri near the center circle.

Shaqiri played in Eriksson's original position and was supposed to act as a "card dealer" in the frontcourt, but today he often couldn't get the ball and was in a hurry. Seeing Flanagan take the initiative Find yourself, naturally overjoyed.The two hit it off immediately, and immediately formed a pair of "helping each other, feeding and eating" on the field.

On the sidelines, Russell looked at the situation on the field, stretched out his arms, folded his arms leisurely, fell backwards, and said to Anton: "If these little bastards play like this every game, how can we do it?" Isn't it easier now?"

The players on the field can "understand on their own", wouldn't it be easy for the head coach?

Unexpectedly, Anton smiled and said to Russell: "I have already relaxed this game." Basically, Russell gave guidance from the sidelines from the beginning to the end of the game, and Anton sat on the sidelines to watch the game.

Russell couldn't help but feel a little hot on his old face when he heard it, but he was secretly happy: So, within a few years, he can also try to apply for a low-level league team and try to be the head coach himself. tried?

……

The game ended with a 3-0 win for Sunderland.The goals were scored by Hummels, Vardy and Crouch.

After the game, in order not to belittle himself, Hodgson spent a lot of time praising Sunderland, the "top team", boasting this group of young people together, and made it clear that an old-school "big club" like Liverpool must reform. Otherwise, they will not be able to keep up with a young and determined new team like Sunderland.

Sunderland fans: We are also a century-old shop, okay!

After this round of competition, Sunderland took a short rest and flew to the Netherlands to prepare for the second round against PSV Eindhoven.

Before the game, Sunderland's centre-back, Finn Hyypia, announced that he would retire at the end of the season.Because of his age, Hyypia's playing time in the second half of this season has been greatly reduced.Most of the time, the Finn is responsible for guiding and training several main central defenders in the team, as if he has changed his identity and become half of the coach.

At the press conference announcing his retirement, Hyypia was also very happy to announce that he has accepted the invitation of Sunderland Football Club. After the end of this season, he will honorably become an assistant coach with responsibilities Across the first team, reserve team and youth training camp, it aims to focus on cultivating high-quality comprehensive talents on the back line.

The news came out that the Sunderland first team are all happy for Hyypia.The main central defenders were overjoyed. They had long been used to the days when Hypia led the training. This is good. Hypia should not leave Sunderland in a short time.

Soon Sunderland officially responded to this and announced that in the second round against Eindhoven, Hyypia will start on behalf of Sunderland.

After the official news was released, the Sunderland players were both happy and sad-this time Hypia started on behalf of Sunderland with such a "fantasy", which actually means that this is the last time Hypia started on behalf of Sunderland.

Sunderland holds a four-goal lead against Eindhoven. Not to mention a sure chance of winning, at least they have a greater hope of winning.Looking at the rest of the schedule, I'm afraid this will be the last game where Sunderland can easily win the game.

All the players cherish this Hypia game very much, and everyone has asked to start, because they can take a group photo with Hypia before the game.

After the starting lineup was decided, apart from Hyypia, the other ten people discussed something under the call of goalkeeper Pickford.

After the discussion, Pickford winked at everyone and said, "Don't forget when it's time to play!"

Hypia just came over at this time, and asked casually, "What did you forget?"

This group of people all laughed and said nothing, Hypia was at a loss.

This mystery was not officially revealed until the start of the second round against Eindhoven.

When the two teams played and the "Bulb" Eindhoven played UEFA's theme song at home, Hyypia realized that there seemed to be something wrong.

The photographers pointed their cameras at Sunderland, facing the stands of the two teams, and many fans took out their mobile phones, pointed at Sunderland with their lenses, and snapped shots.Flashing lights kept going on in the stands.

Hyypia turned his head slightly and looked at his teammates, only to realize that the entire team stood in a row on the green field, and there was an empty space between every two players.

So Sunderland's team is inexplicably longer than Eindhoven's team.

Hypia was really taken aback for a while before he realized that the Finn couldn't hide a smile on his face.The teammates around him all looked serious and took this matter very seriously.

"We are all Jingfen—"

"Jingfen means Finnish in spirit!"

Hyypia immediately remembered that when he first came to Sunderland, those teammates sitting in the conference room were also sitting in the same way, and all of them had serious expressions on their faces. Looking at it from another angle , is very cute.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, a season has just passed.

Although the Finns are very used to this kind of personal space, at this moment Hyypia just wants to hug these young teammates, thank them, and thank them for getting along and having fun this season.

It's just that it's far from the time to celebrate.The Finn and his team-mates were arm in arm in a circle, with the players facing each other, and Hyypia looked up to all of them and said: "For Sunderland—"

"Yes," all the starters shouted together at this time, "It's all for Sunderland!"

While Sunderland's starting players cheered each other on the field, Ibrahimovic was sitting on the bench bored watching.

At this time last week, Anton considered that he was too tired and replaced him early, and then let Ibrahimovic rotate in the next league game.Ibrahimovic thinks he should be able to resume starting in this game, right?No one knows yet.

Anton had been frank with Ibrahimovic earlier: he would be allowed to stay on the bench first, and then replace him at the "right" time. As for whether Ibrahimovic can successfully score more goals after playing, let himself A better place on the scorer list depends on Ibrahimovic himself.

At this time, the camera position in front of him slowly lowered, and the camera was aimed at Ibrahimovic.Ibrahimovic imagined that the various media are commenting at the moment: Sunderland put their strongest attacker, their "God" on the bench.

Ibrahimovic sighed as he thought about it, stretched out his palm, raised his five fingers in front of him, concentrated on looking at his nails, and made up the exaggerated voice of the commentator: "Look at that, the 'God' sitting on the bench , how boring it is!"

He was bored, and all the players and coaching staff sitting on the bench in the front row began to applaud, and Russell shouted hoarsely: "Marco, good job, keep playing like this!"

As soon as Ibrahimovic heard Royce's name, he immediately forgot about his fingernails. He stood up directly from the bench, clapped vigorously with his hands outstretched, and said "ohhhhh" in his mouth.Ibrahimovic's height of 1 meters completely blocked the view of the audience behind him.

The Eindhoven fans sitting behind Ibrahimovic protested gloomily in Dutch.Ibrahimovic used to understand Dutch when he was at Ajax, but at this time he just pretended not to understand, and waited for Royce's another attack to end before he sat down leisurely.

Because of Royce, Ibrahimovic was sitting on the bench, and it was rare for him to calm down and watch his teammates play.Only then did he realize that Royce played really well, even if Sunderland didn't have him, it would be okay to put Royce in his place.

Except for Royce... Vardy is also playing well, so-so; if you look back, the young people in the midfield are as stable as ever, and look at the backcourt, ouch, Anton's words are called What's going on, three days away from Shiba, or something...

In this way, Ibrahimovic stayed on the bench, staring at his teammates on the court for a long time.

Russell shouted: "Zlatan, come down and get ready to warm up!"

Ibrahimovic didn't hear it at all, and was still staring straight at the field. Even if he heard it, he would shake his head, expressing that he wanted to watch for a while.

So Russell shouted: "I count to three and you don't need to warm up. One, two, three!" The assistant coach finished counting quickly and sat back comfortably.

Ibrahimovic watched for a while on the sidelines, then suddenly realized and jumped up: "Anton, Anton, when will you let me play!"

At this time, the game was coming to an end, and even if he played, he could only be used as a tool to delay time.At this moment, the Swede has only one feeling in his heart: this Anton must be cheating, and he has been tricked.

"I want my golden boot!" He stretched out his arms and shouted to the sky.
