Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 189

However, without waiting until Sunday against Newcastle United, Anton has "first-hand" seen Ibrahimovic's performance on the field.

As Ibrahimovic joined Sunderland in reality, this player Z soon "aligned" with Anton in his green life.Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Messi and Anton, these three became comrades-in-arms.Messi extended a warm welcome to Ibrahimovic's joining. He and Ibrahimovic were teammates in Barcelona for a period of time-judging from the respective reactions of Messi and Ibrahimovic, Anton feels that there is nothing between them Contradictions, get along very well.

Eriksson also told Anton a "small detail": Ibrahimovic got a Messi's Sunderland jersey from the room after Messi moved out. After Anton and others left, Ibrahimovic carefully Put away that jersey, saying that it is to help Messi keep it.

It can be seen that although Ibrahimovic left Barcelona without hesitation, the relationship between him and most of the Barcelona players is still good.For example, Pique also shoulders the "task" of packing Ibrahimovic's luggage.

The timeline in "Life in the Greens" is faster than in reality. In reality, it is still a dark and long winter. In "Life in the Greens", Anton's team has already started to play the preseason and Champions League qualifiers.

In these games, Ibrahimovic's performance is very eye-catching. For teams that are not as strong as his own team, Ibrahimovic always puts on a posture of "killing them all" at the beginning of the game.His strategy is to score quickly at the beginning of the game, and after the team leads by a big score, let Anton replace himself.

"Comfortable--"

Ibrahimovic said that this is the most worry-free way. I have a fun time and can comfortably watch the opponent "dying struggle" during the rest of the game time. How cool it is.

Anton observed Ibrahimovic's performance from his own perspective.Ibrahimovic's personal ability is very outstanding. Holding the ball behind his back is simply a nirvana. Scoring is effortless, and he has his own offensive system. He is a star that can be used immediately when he is placed in the team.

But to put this comprehensive center forward in the formation, I want to knead Ibrahimovic and the whole team together, and achieve more blooms, so that the team will not become a team of Ibrahimovic alone-this is not a one-off. easy job.

Making good use of Ibrahimovic is a hundred times more difficult than making good use of Messi.

Anton felt a little headache, but he had to accept the result of Messi's departure and Ibrahimovic's arrival: this is a good thing for the team, and even for the city of Sunderland.

So, in the "northeast" derby between Sunderland and Newcastle United on Sunday, Ibrahimovic's name appeared on the substitute list.

This day is called "Derby" day because there are two important "Derby" dramas in the Northeast and Northwest at the same time: the Merseyside Derby in the Northwest and the Tyne Derby in the Northeast.

The Merseyside derby took the lead, and when Anton and his team were ready to play, the result of the score there was already drawn: Liverpool drew "cousin" Everton 2-2 at home.Liverpool scored the first goal, was equalized and overtaken, and then equalized again.Although nothing can be seen from the score, it is said that the team has made "substantial" progress under the leadership of Sir Dalglish.

Anton didn't care about these, all his attention was on his upcoming game.

This game is very important to Sunderland fans, after all, it is related to the honor of their team.And last round their young players were almost scolded and cried on the opponent's court, and they must be brought back this time.

Therefore, in this derby match, the attendance at the Stadium of Light reached 47000.The huge special lights above the Stadium of Light illuminated the greenery in the stadium brightly, and there were waves of sound in the stadium, all cheering for Sunderland.

The atmosphere reached its peak when the players from both sides entered the field. When the broadcast announced the names of the away team players one by one, the Stadium of Light was full of boos, and some fans were already cursing unceremoniously.But most of the fans around will remind: "Brother, for the sake of the head coach, let's be more civilized!"

This is because Anton specially sent a tweet before the game, asking the fans to help him convey: the strength of a team is not a matter of words.Although the team suffered verbal violence in the away game last time, but based on the empathy of "don't do to others what you don't want to do to others", he asked the fans to "be merciful" to the players of the visiting team, at least not to interfere with the opposing players emotions, so that Sunderland can defeat the other side upright, so that they can be convincingly defeated.

Although some fans disagreed with Anton's point of view, most of them out of respect for Anton, scolded a little lighter.

Soon, the broadcast at the Stadium of Light began to broadcast the home team's list of players, including the waiting substitute players off the field.

When Ibrahimovic's name was read, there was a burst of thunderous cheers in the stadium.This is the Sunderland fans welcoming Ibrahimovic in the most simple way-then rhythmic shouts sounded from the stands: "Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan..."

The player whose name was called is on the bench at the moment, and he is satisfied with such warm cheers. Ibrahimovic stood up, turned around, and stretched out his hands to the whole stands, as if he was enjoying the cheers, and he seemed to be appreciating the whole stadium. Said: "Welcome to the world of Zlatan!"

Such heroic and unrestrained actions of this man drove the entire Stadium of Light into a frenzy - the fans liked him, they were willing to become Zlatan's subjects and follow him to fight the world...

But Zlatan was on the bench.

Anton's starting high center today is Crouch.

Crouch is taller than Ibrahimovic, but far less strong than Ibrahimovic, and his skills at his feet are not as superb as Ibrahimovic, especially when confronting opponents.

But Crouch is also very hard-the team had Messi before, put him on the bench, as a super "Mei Blow", he has no complaints.But now another Ibrahimovic fell from the sky.Also as a high center forward, the overlap between Crouch and Ibrahimovic is higher than that between him and Messi, which makes Crouch feel a strong sense of crisis.Got the chance to start today, Crouch naturally has to perform.

In this game, Eriksson acted as the "card dealer" of Sunderland's midfielder, passing the ball to Crouch with a through ball.Crouch has good skills at his feet, and he takes the ball into the penalty area.The Newcastle defender was unceremonious, stretched out his foot and brought Crouch down, and put it down simply and rudely, with a kick to the ankle.

"Drip --" the whistle sounded, followed by boos and merciless abuse from the home fans.

In view of Anton's face, the fans were polite, but now the opponent is shameless.

The Newcastle defender is also a little wronged: This is a tactical foul!

But the posture of Sunderland fans rushing to the ankle after seeing him, it is impossible to "speak" to show mercy.

Crouch looked fine, got up and prepared to take a free kick with his teammates.The boos of the fans were a little less, and they turned their attention to the free kick.

"This kind of defender is looking for death!" Anton suddenly heard Ibrahimovic on the bench behind him say something coldly.

It is also not seen that Ibrahimovic used more force, such a cold curse can teach people to hear clearly.

Anton shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably, always feeling a little "thorn in the back". Of course, Ibrahimovic was "happy and enmity", but his attitude made Anton faintly worried.

Unexpectedly, the situation on the court is gradually developing in a direction that is not good for Sunderland.

After all, Crouch is not Messi. When he is in the middle, he cannot form the kind of cooperation with Royce and Vardy on the two sides when Messi is there.What makes people nervous is that Crouch's speed is getting slower and slower, and his running posture is also a little unnatural.

But Crouch still took advantage of a corner kick to score a goal in stoppage time before the break.

After suffering for a long time, Sunderland finally took the lead, which made the fans so happy that they forgot to hurt their rivals for a while.

During the intermission, Anton asked the team doctor to check Crouch's injury.He is a cautious person. Once he confirmed that Crouch's hamstring was not proper, he immediately made a decision to replace him.

"Responsible to yourself!" As soon as Anton said these words, Crouch immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Now Sunderland had no other choice, Anton made the decision and decided to replace Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic has just arrived and has not yet done tactical training with the team. The players still don't know how to cooperate with Ibrahimovic.Anton was about to order the midfielder "card dealer" to pass the ball to Eriksson as much as possible.At this time, Ibrahimovic had already stood up and winked at Eriksson: "Brother, it's up to you."

Immediately, this tall, burly man rushed out to warm up.

The fans who were still in the stands during the intermission immediately noticed that Ibrahimovic rushed out to warm up, and laughed wildly with excitement-with this man, Newcastle United, you will tremble!

Ibrahimovic is arrogant and arrogant off the court, but he looks quite calm on the court.At this time, he had just finished warming up and went on the field. He looked like a dragon and a tiger, and he ran very actively, rushing towards the landing point of the ball.

The "card dealer" Eriksson got Anton's advice in advance, and the tactics at this time were simple and direct. Those who could find Ibrahimovic looked for Ibrahimovic, and those who couldn't find Ibrahimovic, the cards were dealt to the two super fast players on both sides. For wingers, they either cut inside, or break through to the bottom, and find Ibrahimovic's support in the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic got the ball without breaking a sweat and turned his back.

Newcastle's defenders, just like in the beginning, used Ibrahimovic as Crouch to defend and went straight to the shovel.But Ibrahimovic is not Crouch, he stands firmly in place like a steel tower.When someone else shoveled, Ibrahimovic raised his foot and flicked his toes. The ball was still under his feet, but the opponent's defender slid out.

This is just Ibrahimovic's first touch with the ball.

The Stadium of Light burst into applause: the fans were so excited that they forgot to protest.

At this time, another defender of Newcastle rushed up to help defend, held him behind Ibrahimovic, stuck in the position and did not want Ibrahimovic to turn around.

But any obstacle is not an "obstacle" for Ibrahimovic.Newcastle was obviously under-prepared and not ready for Ibrahimovic to play-but from another perspective, they deserved it: If the Newcastle defender hadn't shoveled Crouch, Ibrahimovic would not be so early by Anton. Come on.

The most terrible thing is that this Newcastle defender who rushed forward to help defend, didn't even know that Ibrahimovic's famous stunt is to get the ball with his back!

Newcastle is in danger.
