fat man who can't play football

Chapter 23 Glory even if defeated
Fatty was hungover again, this time so drunk that he couldn't remember how he got back to his office.Sleeping on the cold bed, the fat brother thought it was time to go out and find an apartment of his own.

The fat man rubbed his temples, feeling like his entire head was going to split open.The fat man remembered drinking one cup after another with someone last night, and vaguely remembered the man with glasses called Irving, who was so good at drinking, and seemed to remember what he said he was the leader of a fan organization.Really bragging.

The fat man was about to turn over when he suddenly remembered something, quickly sat up and quickly rummaged through his crumpled wallet.After finally picking it up from the bottom of the bed and opening it, Fat Brother gasped.Those who killed thousands of knives didn't leave a single penny to my brother.

Fatty washed up with the speed of thunder and jingle.Then with red eyes, he came to the training ground with a murderous look.

Fat Brother saw this picture: Ah Ye and Oil Head Brother have begun to lead some players who arrived early to conduct 6-4 training in the half, focusing on the integrity of the training pressure.Oil head brother kept calling to stop training, requiring players to find the space behind the opponent after stealing the ball, pass and run quickly, and ensure the speed of counterattack.

Seeing that Aye and Brother Youtou were already fighting for their ideals, the fat man couldn't help but feel a little moved.Fat Brother suddenly shook his head and thought, no, there is a hint of conspiracy.These two bastards must have used this trick to shut their mouths, but I have to say that this trick really worked.

Fat Brother had no choice but to swallow the bitterness, after all he was just a dreamer and needed these two bastards to help him in training.

Now that qj is inevitable, Fatty can only enjoy it to his heart's content.After the players joined the high-position pressing training one after another, Ah Ye and Brother Youtou paid more attention to the details.

A Ye asked the players to pay attention to verbal communication and non-verbal communication when pressing.The oily head brother goes a step further by requiring players to give clear instructions or use solid body movement cues when pressing.

Fatty watched the oily head brother meticulously explain the meaning of each solid gesture to the players, and carefully designed oppressive tactics that allowed the players to respond quickly.

The fat guy couldn't help but think of Ali's thumb tactic of corner kicks in the first round. Every success on the field is not easy to come by. This requires thousands of repetitions in training.

After the training, the fat brother saw Mowat looking for substitute goalkeeper Taylor to practice free kicks together.Fatty couldn't help feeling curious, so he stopped and watched for a while.I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

I'll be good, though Steve's memory tells Fatty Mowat he's good at free kicks.But the fat guy didn't expect that Mowat's free kick hit rate in training was so high. Eight out of ten free kicks were able to hit the goal, and half of them were absolutely dead ends, making it impossible for Taylor to catch the ball.

Fat Brother feels that he still knows too little about players and is too superstitious about the experience of FMer in his previous life.Fat Brother decided to establish Mowat as his first free kicker.

The fat guy is going to have a good chat with Mowat, "Hey, Alex, good practice."

Mowat didn't expect that the fat man hadn't left yet, "Hey, boss, have you been watching?"

The appearance of standing in front of the fat man with big eyes blinking, looks like a hard-working child who is eager to be praised by his parents.

"Of course, I've been watching it for a while. What do you think of the high-pressing tactics of the team's new training?"

"Boss, I think it's pretty good. I'm not physically strong enough to take advantage of the midfield competition. The tactics I'm rehearsing now have high physical requirements for me, but I think it will cover up my shortcomings in confrontation. "

"Nice Alex, that's all you can think of. I saw your free-kick practice, it's pretty good. I'm going to let you take free-kicks in the game, Alex."

"There are also a lot of good free-kickers in the team."

"Don't you even have the courage to accept it?"

"No, boss. I'm glad I got the chance."

"Very well, don't worry about other people, just let it go."

Fat Brother suddenly felt that there was too little communication with these disciples brought out by himself, so he had to find an opportunity to sit down and have a good chat.

In the second day's training, Fat Brother announced in front of the whole team that Mowat would be the team's first pick for free kicks.Fat Brother carefully observed the expressions of the players. Fortunately, there was no discordant scene.

Another thing that makes Fatty a headache is that he and Pierce have not communicated for a long time during training.Fat Brother hasn't figured out how to deal with the relationship with the captain.

On August 8, Leeds United will face Middlesbrough in the second round of the League Cup.In the last match, Fatty didn't get a single chance from Karanka.

Since it was just an insignificant League Cup, both sides sent a large number of bench players.

Fatty still dispatched Wood and Belotti on the front line, and the two strikers must be integrated into the team as soon as possible.All other positions are on the bench.

Middlesbrough still insists on the 451 formation at home, but for the consideration of the midweek league, only captain Leadbetter and Gibson are the regular main players among the starters.

This is also the first time Fatty used high-position oppressive tactics in a game. In the locker room, Fatty was giving the final emphasis to the players: "All players must pay attention to judging the situation on the field, choose the right time to press, and maintain a good posture. overall.

When grabbing the ball to counterattack, you must choose the most favorable attacking area. Players must move ahead of time, and the pass must be concealed.

The most important thing is overall movement and anticipation.That's it, lads.Let's play! "

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the team had already played what they were training.The effect was immediate. Boro was extremely uncomfortable with this kind of oppression that penetrated the entire court, and basically could not organize an effective offense.

But Leeds players are also adapting to this style of play. Several times when they snatched the ball, they required a quick ball and made a lot of mistakes.Either the amount of advance was too large, and the striker couldn't catch up at all, or the responding players didn't move in advance, and there was no point of exit after grabbing the ball.

In general, the fat man saw what he wanted.He was communicating with Aye next to him about some details.

Suddenly, Fat Brother was shocked by a roar, "Steve, is this what you said to bring Leeds victory?"

The fat man looked back, and it turned out to be Owen, the man with glasses, and he really was the leader of the fan organization.This kind of game goes on an expedition with the team.

"Owen, be patient! The game has just started, what are you crying over there?"

Owen sat back in his seat angrily.

The Leeds players did not entangle Fatty and Owen for too long. After stealing from midfield, Murphy directly passed a half-high ball to the penalty area.Gibson, who has always been steady, failed to clear the ball. After taking off, he just rubbed his head against the ball, which slowed down the speed of the ball instead.

At this time, Belotti showed the sense of a shooter. He started ahead of time and came to the position where the ball fell, and shot directly in the air.The goalkeeper didn't respond. 1:0, Leeds United lead away.

Red Beibei finally scored his first goal for Leeds United. After a long wait, this window paper was finally pierced.After scoring the goal, Hong Beibei took off his jersey excitedly.

Owen yelled loudly in the stands, "Yeah~~"

In the 35th minute of the game, Leadbite dribbled the ball in the midfield and was suddenly caught by the three Leeds and quickly lost the ball.After Murphy got the ball, he directly made a penetrating pass to find Warnock who was plugging in from the wing.

Warnock made a direct cross, and the Boro defender had no time to return to his defensive position.Wood jumped high in the middle, "It's a goal!"

The fat man was still thinking about Hong Beibei's goal from the sidelines, and he couldn't even see who scored it.But the fat brother is a natural acting school, he doesn't need a script at all, and he doesn't need to be in the play, so he directly started the crazy kneeling celebration.I just miscalculated my own weight, and my knees hurt a little from being rubbed.

Aye quickly followed and rushed over to hug Fatty, "Steve, we really did it. Poor Middlesbrough was stunned by us. Such a goal will strengthen the players' confidence in the high press. Steve Husband, all this is your credit!"

The fat brother was suddenly a little shy to be praised so face-to-face by A Ye.

After the first half, Leeds United led by two goals.

Irving and the fans rubbed their eyes vigorously. Is this still Leeds United who were pressed and rubbed by Middlesbrough not long ago?This tm is like changing the team!
In the second half of the game, Karanka, who was unwilling to face defeat in front of the home fans, replaced Bamford and played 442.

Because the high-position pressing tactic is very exhausting for the players, the Leeds players have not yet learned to allocate their physical energy reasonably under this tactic.

After a period of time in the second half, the physical strength of the Leeds players continued to decline, and the movement on the field began to slow down.Middlesbrough players seized the opportunity to pull back a goal in the 73rd minute from forward Kick in front of the goal.

In order to maintain his running ability on the field, Fatty quickly replaced three players and played all the cards in his hand.

Time was consumed minute by minute, and the game came to stoppage time.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Leeds United was about to win the away game.Owen was already biting his nails nervously.

Leeds United have all retreated, the Middlesbrough defender drove directly into Leeds' penalty area with a big foot, and Berardi, who was in the central defender's position, pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Maybe Tongge was too tired from running and couldn't keep up with the ball to clear the ball.Middlesbrough captain Lidbitt shot angrily at the ball from outside the penalty area and went straight to the dead corner.

Perfect stoppage time!Middlesbrough fans are completely crazy.

Fat Brother became a stone sculpture for a while, unable to react.Owen buried his head between his legs in pain when he saw the ball.

The two sides were dragged into overtime. Due to the double blow of lack of physical strength and missed goals in stoppage time, the Leeds players were a little bit out of their minds.Kick seized the opportunity to kill the game with an outflank in front of the goal in the 110th minute of the game.

In the end, Leeds United lost the game 2:3 and stopped in the second round of the League Cup.

After the game, Fatty stood on the sidelines for a long time, unwilling to leave, his mind went blank.

It was the singing of the Leeds Expeditionary Force that brought the fat man back to reality.

"Here we go with Leeds United
We're gonna give the boys a hand

Stand up and sing for Leeds United
They are the greatest in the land
Every day, we're all gonna say

We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! (We love you - Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!)

Everywhere, we're gonna be there
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! (We love you - Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!)

Marching on together! "(Forge ahead!)
The eyes of the fans are discerning, and they can always see the hard work of the players.
