Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 166

The timeline of "Green Life" is very interesting. Different players have timelines at different rates on different mission lines.

Anton and Torres almost started the "task" for beginner players at about the same time. Anton has not finished a season here, but in Torres, he has gone through ups and downs for [-] seasons, leading Newport All the way up from the lowest level, it has now been promoted to the Premier League, so it overlaps with Anton's "Challenge of the Champions League" mission.

All involved players will receive an email reminding them to log in to the emulator at a certain time to participate in the match.Otherwise, the simulator will come up with all kinds of inconceivable reasons to announce the absence of the player: for example, the head coach may have a bad stomach, so he cannot command on the spot; the player may be refused to participate in the game by the Football Association because the jersey has not yet been made. There is no reason for this!

Messi is also very interested in the match against the Queen of England. He has shouted early in the morning that he must "see" Her Majesty the Queen and see if she will give her a medal or something.

So Anton and Messi stayed in their "battle room" early in the morning, getting ready and logging into the simulator.

As a result, they all arrived a little earlier, only Torres was online, and Her Majesty the Queen hadn't logged in yet.So Anton and the three of them took Torres and chatted for a while.

Torres said a lot of interesting things about "Newport".

Speaking of it, when Her Majesty the Queen and Torres first took over Newport, Newport was really a small and dilapidated club. Even the stadium was shared with two rugby clubs, and the ground was "barren land" all year round. , There is no "greenery" in the bare.

"When I saw this field at the time, I was so scared that I didn't know how to play." Torres said, "After thinking about it, I won't be injured here anyway, and in reality there are many such small clubs, many People who like football play on such pitches. Then I got used to it."

As soon as he got used to the venue, he discovered that Her Majesty had found investment for Newport, rebuilt the stadium, and the club was developing rapidly at a rate of rising to a higher level every year.

At the same time, Torres also found that the fans watching the game are also changing-they are getting more and more neat and decent, and they are starting to use the latest mobile phones. All games are smiling.

After the team was promoted to the Premier League, Torres also borrowed the "Newport Daily" from the fans to take a look, and found that in that daily newspaper, Newport was already a thriving "soccer city".

Isn't this just an example of changing the local economic structure and improving the lives of local people through football?

Anton thought to himself: As expected of a queen!She is definitely coaching the team with an overall view. Newport's "virtual" fortune-telling history can be used as a textbook for football club management.

Anton just wanted to ask Torres about Abramovich, and they were notified at the same time that Her Majesty was online and the game would start within [-] minutes.

Before Torres had time to say to his own team: "Come on!", he hurried to prepare.

Soon, both Anton and Messi saw Her Majesty the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II of England, who looked only in her twenties, wore an olive green hunting suit, was heroic, and drove a wartime tractor truck to the sidelines of Newport Stadium, and jumped Get out of the car, climb over the fence, and enter the field to command.A stadium guard rushed over behind her, yelling that they are not allowed to enter the stadium. When it was clear that this was the "head coach" himself, his jaw dropped in shock.

Anton also felt stupid.

Messi pushed Anton with his elbow: "See... the head coach, that's... so cool."

*

In this game, Anton played in person. He was on Messi's side, playing the position of a winger.Her Majesty seems to know his technical characteristics very well, knowing that he is fast but not good at rushing, so he arranged a tall full-back for man-to-man defense.

Anton knew he couldn't hold the ball, so most of his energy was spent running without the ball.Occasionally a brilliant run and get the ball from Messi can be a huge threat.

——It's really flattering to let Messi make the ball for him!

Anton tightened the arch of his foot, arched his body slightly to exert strength, and kicked at an angle.

At that moment, he really felt the rush of adrenaline and the feeling of his heart beating to the mouth of his throat.It wasn't until the dust settled and the ball fell into the net that Anton suddenly felt a cheer overflowing from his mouth. He couldn't control himself anymore. He simply opened his arms and ran wildly around the newly built stadium, with the wind whistling in his ears. Passing by the ground, he leaped high and swung his right arm into the air with all his strength, there should be nothing more satisfying in the world——

Messi also added an assist statistic to himself, happily chasing Anton's stride.

At this moment, Torres ran across to him, gave a thumbs up, and blinked slyly.Anton suddenly remembered—speaking of his shot, it seems that Torres taught him.

On the sidelines, the young Her Majesty the Queen stomped on the riding boots she was wearing.She didn't look at the tactical board, didn't discuss with the coaching staff, and even disregarded the dignity and manners of the royal family, she yelled loudly into the field, telling her players to cheer up and don't be discouraged, they still have time.

There is still a lot of game time. Newport can fight all the way from the low-level leagues, and the players are not vegetarians.

Not even Torres.

He was like a loach in front of the goal, and as soon as he got out, Anton's team was sweating.

Not only that, the Queen also arranged for a very powerful "cake-feeding" midfielder in the Newport formation, who is responsible for feeding Torres.

Anton saw the technical characteristics of this "cake-feeding" midfielder, which was exactly the same as captain Gerrard.It feels like Her Majesty has specially "built" a midfielder according to Gerrard's technical characteristics and placed it in her own formation to match Torres, the center forward.

He looked at his NPC Gerald again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I still haven't been able to maximize the ability of Team Jie.

But at this time, he didn’t care about these things anymore, Anton hurriedly ran to stare at NPC Gerrard and NPC Mascherano, and asked them to pay attention to the midfielder who “feeds the cake” to prevent him from playing for Torres again .

The "on-field" coach is good at this. He can communicate with his players at any time when he finds a problem.

But sometimes Anton has to admit that it is easy to appear "authority fans" on the court, and his emotions are prone to violent fluctuations, which are not as clear-headed as the coaches commanding on the sidelines——

For example, he didn't see that the "feeding cake" midfielder was actually an illusion.

After Mascherano focused his attention on the midfielder, Newport's two wings immediately became active, and he could "feed cake" to Torres on the left and right. Torres is not a striker who likes to spit cakes, basically It was all comers, and they scored two goals in a blink of an eye, and Newport overtook them.

At halftime, Anton still decided to replace himself, so he changed his identity again and returned to the off-court command.

This time his team finally stabilized the situation and pulled back a goal. The score of [-]-[-] was finally maintained until the end.

The two "head coaches" came forward to shake hands.

The queen looked at Anton and said heartily, "Player A, it seems that you are better at the role of coach than as a striker... Do you want to continue to consider being a goalkeeper next time?"

Earlier, when Anton completed a random task in the simulator for the first time, he was the goalkeeper in the Queen's Chelsea - but it was a foggy day, and he couldn't even see the shadow of the Queen.

Thinking of this, Anton smiled and saluted: "As long as it is your team, I am very happy to help."

Queen: "Good luck, then - hope the draw doesn't detract from your Champions League success."

Anton also said truthfully: "It doesn't matter. My opponent, Player C's Manchester United, is probably your next opponent. Please be careful, because even if it is an opponent, he will help me stop you."

Queen:……

Not long after the game ended, all players logged out of the simulator.

Anton stretched his waist and straightened his neck in the real world—from a health point of view, he really hoped that he had exercised his muscles and bones like he did in the simulator just now.

At this moment, he suddenly stared at the table and stared blankly.

There is a special L-shaped long table in the "battle room". There are two glass water glasses on the table, both of which are filled with clear water, one for Messi and one for Anton.

The moment he logged out of the simulator, Anton noticed that the respective water surfaces in the two glasses were vibrating rhythmically at the same time.

This is... an earthquake?

But it's not like an earthquake. Anton is inside the house and can't feel any vibration or shaking, but the rhythm of the water glass in front of him is obviously like the rhythm in the MV of Adele's new song Rolling in the Deep; the scene in front of him is also very similar The scene in the MV - densely packed water cups, the water surface in each cup is restless with the drumbeat.

In that MV, the water glass kept vibrating because a drummer downstairs was beating drums rhythmically—and here in Anton... the world can't hear any drums.

It's like - there is an unknown world outside his world, and changes in that world will indirectly affect him here.

Messi also logged out of "Life in the Green", and was about to say goodbye to Anton and go back to his room next door.He turned his head, saw Anton's expression, and noticed the abnormality on the table.

Messi's reaction was very direct. He bent down and got into the belly of the table. Not long after, he carried a little black cat with its teeth and claws from under Anton's table, and held it in front of Anton.The water glass on the table immediately returned to normal.

"Ha, so it's this guy!" Anton burst into laughter.It must be that the little cat Larry squatted under the table and scratched the legs of the table vigorously, but it was so rhythmic and "sensual" that it really surprised Anton.

——So you are such a "rock" little black cat!
