Chapter 25 Large-Scale Substitution

"Sorry, Perez, I have to leave."

Edward got up and said, and hurriedly left the box.

Halfway through, Edward felt a little regretful. Since he decided to be the chairman instead of the coach, he should not go in and out of the locker room, even if it was a warm-up match. When he was about to turn around and walk back, he noticed Mourinho He hesitated at the door of the locker room.

"Jose, why don't you go in?"

Edward walked over and asked.

"I, I don't know what to do, I said that if I don't equalize at half-time, I will make substitutions, and when the league starts, they will all be on the bench."

Mourinho was full of confusion: "But if we change players, our strength will drop a bit, and the scene will be even uglier."

Edward finally understood what was going on. He didn't expect Mourinho to worry about these boring things at this time. The madman in his previous life was not afraid of anything. He said that he would definitely change people. If there is really no one to change, he is so cheeky It is also possible to pretend that it didn't happen, that is a coach who is arrogant and thick-skinned, but very good at encouraging and protecting players.

But now Mourinho is obviously still very concerned about the evaluation of the outside world, because he has not yet achieved results, his arrogance has not been stimulated, and he is a little cautious when doing things.

"It's okay, Jose, I suggest you change all the positions you can change."

Hearing Edward's words, Mourinho was not only stunned, this is the home court, and they are still competing with Lazio for the qualification to enter the final. If they change some players with less ability, do they still have hope?
"José!"

Edward said with a solemn expression: "This is just a warm-up match. Even if it is a cup match, it is just a warm-up match. Compared with a bullshit warm-up match champion, your authority as a coach is more important!"

"I said, no matter when and where, no matter what happens, right or wrong, I will stand by your side!"

"You are the coach of the team, I think you still need to let the players know who has the final say on the team."

Hearing Edward's words, Mourinho couldn't help but have the urge to die for his confidant, and he would stand by his side no matter right or wrong. The proud Mourinho almost couldn't control his tear glands just by saying this.

Why does he want to revenge Barcelona? It's not that even the turf warden didn't treat him as a human being in Barcelona, ​​and the first-team players only read his jokes.

Compared with the two, he has not won any honors with the team, and he has been respected in Berlin!

Mourinho smiled with red eyes, and "slammed" the door of the locker room open.

Edward, who hid himself behind the wall, quietly listened to Mourinho's lectures coming through the door.

"You guys kick like shit!"

"In front of Lazio, you act like a group of soft-legged shrimps. My female cat was more sensitive than you when she was pregnant!"

"What a disappointing performance. It's a pity, gentlemen, that some of you lost your chance of redemption, at least in this game."

"I will replace some of the players. If you still can't perform well, you will all fuck me off the field. No one will go up and play by myself. I used to be a professional player!"

Hearing this, Edward almost laughed out loud. If you criticize the players, you can criticize them. Why are you telling the experience of professional players? Anyone here is a hundred times better than a third-rate low-level league player like you.

But after all, it was a group of kids who were easily frightened by Mourinho. Hearing only Mourinho's voice in the locker room, Edward shrugged and left with a smile.

"Perez, try our new snacks."

Edward handed over a box of potato chips with mustard sauce. This is Edward's response to fans protesting ticket price increases. He has opened some new low-cost snack stalls at Fossell Stadium. Such practices are common, but these The stalls are not directly operated by the team, but outsourced to the fan groups who support him. On the one hand, fans can enjoy low-cost snacks, and on the other hand, they can win over fan groups. Even if they sell a game at a low price, the profit will be considerable. .

Even if he can turn Union Berlin into a one-word club in the future, the support from the fans is also very important, and Edward will never treat his own people badly.

Florentino laughed dumbfounded when he saw the potato chips handed over by Edward, but he also took it and ate it with relish.

As a billionaire, he usually doesn't eat these things.

But for entertainment, he even drank whiskey directly from the bottle, not to mention eating snacks. The real rich are more down-to-earth than those who put on airs.

The second half started quickly.

Sure enough, Mourinho has changed a lot of people, the striker has become Huntelaar, the midfielder Sneijder, Dirk Dirk appeared on the right, and Villa on the left; the two midfielders are Chivu who cameo And Cambiasso, Alves, Mertesacker, Vidic and Evra lined up on the back line. What surprised Edward was that Mourinho even rotated the goalkeeper. He was replaced by Stekelenberg.

The old coach Zoff also changed six players in a row. The warm-up match was originally used to help the players find their status. There is not much benefit to letting those superstars stay on the court and abuse the food. On the contrary, there is a risk of injury.

After the start of the game, Lazio still used their traditional style of play. The attack speed was not fast, but every pass was very stable.

However, they encountered a completely different opponent from the first half. Both Dirk and Villa were representatives of diligence. Huntelaar found himself behind in the main battle and also showed a desperate attitude.

Union Berlin's four-man frontcourt began to press wildly and played very aggressively. In addition, they were young and fast, which caught Lazio by surprise.

Lopez hurriedly passed the ball under pressure, Cambiasso predicted a successful steal, and quickly passed it to Dirk Dirk on the right. After Dirk took the ball, he didn't stick to the ball at all, and immediately passed it to the middle, and Ronaldo in the first half performance is in stark contrast.

Although Sneijder and Van der Vaart are good friends, their playing styles are completely different. Van der Vaart prefers to shoot by himself, while Sneijder likes to pass the ball.

After the Dutch teenager took the ball, he made a breakthrough, shook the opponent's center of gravity, and then directly stuffed it into the ribs. Before Villar quickly knocked on the goal, Huntelaar's technical skills were clearly evident, and he volleyed directly without stopping the ball , the ball went straight to the right foot of the goal.

Peruzzi's reaction was quick, and even though the position was relatively far away, he deftly blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Seeing the indifference of the Lazio players, Edward felt that the goal was not far away.

Sure enough, Sneijder's corner kick accurately found Huntelaar at the back point, and the Dutch striker's powerful header hit the intersection of the crossbar and the column, a dead corner!

2:1, Union Berlin moved back a goal!
