Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 111

After Messi scored a goal, like an old cadre, he walked slowly back to the center of the court with small steps, stretched out his hand like a taxi, and wanted to high-five his new teammates to celebrate.

He scored a goal within 2 minutes of playing, and Messi didn't even seem to be sweating.

Unexpectedly, Vardy rushed up at once and hugged Messi's neck while brushing the ground-although Vardy was only an assist, the young man felt that it was really cool to score the goal so lightly.

Immediately afterwards, the Sunderland players rushed up together, hugging Messi and Vardy to celebrate together.Hyypia pumped his fists at the Wembley stands, and he was cheered by all the red, white and red and blue fans.

Compared with Sunderland, which took a 2-0 lead, most Chelsea players were shocked: Messi's goal came too fast, which was really caught off guard.

In the FA Cup final at the end of last season, Chelsea lost to their opponents. It can also be said that Sunderland fished in troubled waters and advanced a goal, and the two teams finally barely tied.In the penalty shootout, Chelsea suffered from the Icelandic Halldosson.

But now the two are facing each other in the Community Shield, and Chelsea have been playing seriously for fifty minutes, but they seem to be beaten so hard that they can't even fight back—what's going on?

At this time, Ancelotti finally seized the opportunity to change, and replaced the central defender who had been pointed out by him. In addition, Ancelotti replaced the new player Chelsea had just signed from Benfica. Aid, Brazilian Ramirez.Once the substitution adjustment is completed, captain Terry and midfielder Lampard are already very aware of Ancelotti's tactical adjustment intentions.

Chelsea's formation has been adjusted and is closer to 451.Ancelotti's intention is very clear, to strengthen the control of the midfield, relying on the personal ability of striker Anelka in the frontcourt, it is one to be able to pull one.

The position of "Warcraft" Drogba has been withdrawn deeper, and the chances of "direct dialogue" with Messi have greatly increased.Compared with Drogba, Messi looks petite and pleasant.A direct physical confrontation between the two is unlikely. Messi cleverly used his flexible footwork to avoid direct confrontation.

But the strong and strong Drogba stood in front of Messi like a wall, which somewhat affected Messi's ball and kick.As a result, the rhythm of Sunderland's midfield was slightly disrupted.

In the 67th minute, Anelka quickly pulled back a goal: Ramirez broke through with the ball and assisted Anelka. Anelka seemed to want to vent all his grievances in the World Cup in South Africa. Lift your foot and shoot.

Although Sunderland's goalkeeper Pickford touched the ball, the ball was too powerful. The goalkeeper only slightly changed the direction of the ball, and the ball still fell into the net with a "crack".

At this time, it was the 70th minute, and the Blues pulled back a goal.

The Blues fans finally breathed a sigh of relief: only one goal away, they saw the hope of an equalizer again, and began to sing and dance in the stands to cheer for their team.

The goal fell, making goalkeeper Pickford kneel on the turf angrily, clenched his fists and hit the turf, hating himself so much: he had clearly judged the direction, but why he failed to complete this save.The "zero seal" that was planned long ago is gone now.

But this young man has always been big-hearted, and immediately forgot about it when he was angry. He stood up, put on his gloves again, and jumped in the small penalty area to prepare for the next save.

At this time, Anton also changed.He replaced Royce, who had already scored a goal, and replaced Crouch, a high center forward who had long been eager to try on the bench.

Sunderland's style of play changed. Originally, the wingbacks on both sides of the team rarely broke through the bottom. At this time, they suddenly began to pass from the bottom to find Crouch, the high point in the penalty area.

Crouch completely replaced Messi's position and became the "true" center forward in the team.What about Messi?At this time, Messi followed Crouch and became a "shadow striker".

Chelsea's defenders faced Crouch, who was over two meters away and absolutely blocked his sight. Sometimes he couldn't even see where Messi had gone. He felt that this pair of strikers was really weird.

And Crouch is not greedy for merit. He sticks deep in the penalty area, but often plays for Messi behind him. Once he receives a cross from his teammate, Crouch does not choose to directly attack the goal, but puts the ball on the top. To Messi behind him.

With "Gao Guy" Crouch as a cover, Messi is easily missed by the defenders, and when he gets the ball, the goalkeeper Petr Cech's line of sight is blocked, so——

With a "boom", cheers sounded again in Wembley Stadium.

"Messi—"

"Messi is in again!"

Messi scored twice, and Messi himself was also very excited. This time he finally opened his arms and ran in the stadium to thank the enthusiastic fans.

After turning around, Messi quickly turned back to pay tribute to "Gao Guy" Crouch who made the ball for him.The pair of forwards with the "cutest height difference" hugged each other on the court, and Crouch had to bend down...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

For some reason, this scene made many fans on the field laugh out loud.

Two celebrities from Sky Sports also expressed emotion in the live broadcast room. Richard Keith said: "Looking at these players on the field, they have different innate conditions and talents. It is football that brings these different players together. Together, let us see such an amazing cooperation!"

"You're wrong, it's Anton, it's the head coach who brought these players together. We never thought that Sunderland could play this kind of combination, and he designed it like this. Alas, this Anton, So young... How can we old guys live!"

While refuting his partner's words, Andy Gray shook his head slightly, with a dejected expression of "living to a dog for a lifetime".

"I think this newly promoted team should be stable this year—" Richard Keith said his judgment, "There is no problem in gaining a firm foothold in the Premier League."

Andy Gray retorted him: "It's so easy to stay in the Premier League? They have Messi!"

"Then... the first six?" Richard Keith frowned.The top six in the Premier League have qualifications for the European War, but the top six are monopolized by the six clubs known as BIG6 all the year round.Sunderland has had Messi for the first half of the season, but neither of the big names is quite sure if Sunderland has any hope of finishing in the top six.

"Let's wait for the post-match interview to hear what Anton has to say! The head coach should be very clear about the club's vision for this season."

Sunderland led 3 to 1, but the game unexpectedly did not enter sage time.Chelsea did not lose their fighting spirit, and Sunderland did not give up the "training" of various tactical combinations.In the last 10 minutes, both sides scored a goal, and finally Sunderland won the game 4-2.

Sunderland won the silver shield.

Anton and Ancelotti hugged each other in a friendly way. Ancelotti said something to Anton. Anton pursed his lips slightly and nodded repeatedly.The atmosphere between the two was very friendly, but Ancelotti's face was gloomy-it is conceivable that once the game was lost, the famous coach faced even more pressure on the club.

Because of the awards ceremony to be held after the game, some interviews were scheduled to take place on the sidelines rather than in the mixed interview area.The captains of the two teams, Terry and Garner, were interviewed by the media on the sidelines.Ling has a large group of reporters carrying cameras, chasing Messi on the green grass.Messi ran faster than when he was on the court, and he had already gone back to the locker room.

In addition, players from the two teams were sometimes stopped for questioning.

Sunderland goalkeeper Pickford was one of those stopped.The question the lad was asked was: "What level do you think Sunderland will be in the new season?"

For the first time in his life, Pickford was being interviewed with a microphone pointed at him. After thinking about it for a long time and scratching his scalp, he choked out a sentence: "...We still have weaknesses."

Media: ... Is this modest or not modest enough?

The young man holding the glove pointed at the tip of his freckled nose: "I'm just a weakness..."

Obviously, the lad is a bit brooding about conceding two goals today.

Media: ... Oh!

"...But I will definitely not be in the future, just wait!" Pickford dropped this sentence, waved his gloves at the reporter, and went back to the locker room by himself.

Media: This young man is so cool.

In addition to the players of the two teams, the head coaches of the two teams are also the target of the media competition, especially Anton, the head coach of the winning team. The reporter from Sky Sports grabbed the best position and handed the radio microphone to Anton.

At the same time, the live broadcast of the game also cut to an interview with Anton.In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray and Richard Keys endured the noise of the scene and waited with great anticipation for Anton's outlook on the club in the new season.

However, Anton was guided by the staff and hurried to the players' tunnel - the awards ceremony will begin soon.As he walked, he responded to questions from Sky Sports reporters.

"Satisfied, very satisfied..."

Anton smiled gracefully in front of the camera, his eyes sparkled, and he was not stingy with his praise for the players under his command.

"How far do you think Sunderland can go in the new season and what kind of results can it achieve? I heard that the club has set a goal of top six. As a newly promoted team, do you think Sunderland can achieve it?"

Where did the top six goals come from?The Sky Sports reporter heard the director's prompt and matched the question with the conversation in the live broadcast room.

"Can it be done..."

Urged by the staff around him, Anton walked in a hurry.

But he still turned his head and replied:

"Have you ever heard of the 'Kaiser Miracle'?"

The two celebrities sitting in the live broadcast room gasped in unison when they heard the "Kaiser Miracle" in Anton's mouth.

"Kaiser Miracle", that is, "Kaiserslautern Miracle", or "Kaiserslautern Myth", refers to Kaiserslautern who had just been promoted from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga in the 96-97 season of the last century. The legendary experience of the club winning the Bundesliga championship in one fell swoop.

Kaiserslautern and Sunderland are newly promoted.

Could it be that Anton described himself as the Kaiserslautern who performed miracles?The new season has not yet started, and Sunderland under Anton's command is already aiming for the Premier League championship?

After a while, Andy Gray and Richard Keith recovered from their almost petrified state.Gray laughed and patted the desktop in the studio, and said loudly: "It's great Anton, I think I'm in love with the head coach of Sunderland!"

Keith raised his arms to the sky and said solemnly: "God, please grant England this miracle as well!"

"We can call it—'Miracle of Light'."
