Chapter 31 What's the origin of that No. [-]?
Of course, Van Basten will not stay by Longshut's side every day to teach him to play football.

As the head coach of a team, he has enough things to do, and Long Shute already feels that he has benefited a lot from being able to take the time to give pointers.

Shooting is the same as dribbling, passing and other skills. If you want to improve, in addition to talent that cannot be forced, there are only four words of "continuous training".

When it comes to training hard, I didn't say it, everyone in the football world is hot chicken!

In Amsterdam, the world-famous "sex capital", for two years, he has never been to those romantic places that make people excited and confused - of course, part of the reason is that he was really traveling before. There is no money in the family, and the apprentice's salary of tens of euros a week is enough for him to meet basic food and clothing problems.

There is a so-called boy skill in martial arts, although there is no scientific basis, but if all this vigorous energy is vented into training, it is also a terrifying energy that cannot be ignored!
However, now the surging energy accumulated in his body for 19 years has a more suitable place to vent.

That is the UEFA Champions League qualifying round!

2009 7 Month 29 Day.

Portugal, Lisbon.

Jose Alvalade Stadium.

Home of Sporting Lisbon.

In fact, the official official name of this team should be called "Portugal Sports", but the habits formed over the past few decades have kept Chinese fans from changing their mouths.

Head coach Paulo Bento has just celebrated his 40th birthday. This former member of the Portuguese golden generation has been in charge of the Portuguese Super League for four full years, leading the team to two Portuguese Cup titles and two Portuguese Super Cup titles. , but has always missed the league championship, ranking second for four consecutive seasons, which makes the club's executives and fans faintly dissatisfied.

However, compared to Ajax, Benfica can at least have a stable chance to win European games. Coupled with a stable record, Bento did not blindly buy big-name stars, and their financial pressure is relatively much smaller.

But even so, they also have some young players with great potential: Lisbon's three heroes-Moutinho, Veloso, Vukcevic constitute their midfield skeleton, Moutinho presides over the offense, Veloso guards the waist, and Vucevic connects the front and back.

Moutinho, who became famous at a young age, is regarded as the future midfielder brain of the Portuguese national team. He is also hailed by the domestic media as the natural successor of Deco. Rosso is also known as the high-value version of Pirlo in Portugal. The two, one in front and one behind, with the Montenegrin escorting them, can indeed make a difference in the Portuguese Super League.

But now they have a big problem.

"Damn!"

Bento finally discovered this problem after the opening 15 minutes. He stared closely at Longshut, who was next to Moutinho in the midfield, and muttered:
"What's the origin of that number 8?!"

The assistant coach answered him with some embarrassment: "This is Ajax promoted from the youth team. It should be a defensive midfielder. It is... a Chinese player."

Bento was obviously taken aback for a moment, showing an expression of "Are you kidding me?"

In Portugal, there are more than 100 young players from China studying in various clubs (most of them are informal studies). Although Bento has not had substantive contact with them, but from the feedback of other colleagues Look, the strength of Chinese players is not enough to gain a foothold in Portugal, not even the level of playing in the second-tier league.

In such a heavyweight game as the Champions League qualifying match, as the head coach, he has certainly done quite a long time of preparation, including studying Ajax's main lineup, bench depth, signing strength, usual tactics, and even The head coach's commanding habits, but... He really didn't notice that an unnamed young player promoted from the youth team in the opponent's team would become the most terrifying pawn in Van Basten's hands! -
"Hey? Hey!"

Vukcevic made a direct pass from the backcourt. Moutinho stretched out his arms to protect the wings, stretched out his left foot to catch the ball, but was pushed by a force and lost his center of gravity. One side.

Then his eyes blurred, and the red figure easily grabbed the ball in front of him.

Red number eight!
It's just a slight collision of the body, even if the referee's position is close at hand, there will be no indication.

Because Long Shute didn't pull forcibly, didn't stretch his legs to trip people, and didn't show the soles of his shoes to violently throw the shovel. He just used his strong body reasonably to push his opponent lightly.

Long Shute has already become much smarter. In many cases, his excellent starting ability and reaction speed are enough for him to complete the defensive task, and there is no need for rough fouls and tyrannical fights.

What's more, Moutinho, who is 1.7 meters tall, weighs only 60 kilograms!Any grown man is much stronger than him!

Such a bean sprouts-like physique can easily fall down at the touch of a finger!
Compared with how to defend, what makes Long Shu special more difficult is how to defend without being seized by the opponent to stage a flop...

But in this regard, Moutinho is obviously a bit honest, but Ajax has a sophisticated diving maniac in the team-yes, I am talking about Uruguayan striker Suarez.

Van Basten's arrangement in the team's training really worked. After a period of training and adaptation, Long Shute gradually began to master the tricks of preventing flops. There is no way to get the ball comfortably, let alone organize the team's offense.

However, Moutinho still had an unyielding fighting spirit in his heart. He didn't care about the consumption of his personal energy, and started pressing and counter-robbing with Long Shute, wanting to defend his honor as the core of the Portuguese midfielder.

And then...he failed terribly.

Moutinho pushed, but Long Shute remained motionless.

When Moutinho pulled, Long Shute didn't respond.

With Moutinho on top, Long Shute, who weighed nearly 75 kilograms, was like a mountain, and he didn't even shake it.

Moutinho wanted to knock him down with all his strength, but after a stride, Long Shute was half a body away from him.

Moutinho, who was about to be unable to catch up with his opponent, had no choice but to grit his teeth and shovel out. Long Shute took the first step to distribute the ball to ensure that even if the referee did not call a foul, the ball was still at the feet of his teammates. After being struck by lightning, he hugged his legs and rolled over on the turf.

Although Long Shute's performance was still a little green, Moutinho's shovel was undoubtedly a reckless foul. The referee didn't even think about it, and directly took out a yellow card and headed towards Portugal's future midfielder. Core held high.

Jose - Alvalade Stadium immediately sounded boos all over the sky.

These home fans don't have any rational, neutral, and objective attitudes. They only know that the referee didn't say anything when their team's players were knocked out of their positions in such a "brutal" way just now. The guy is just "touched" and wants to roll straight into the goal.

Even their head coach Bento couldn't help complaining to the fourth official about the unfairness of the penalty.

Such a "double standard", the key is that the referee who is so unfriendly to the home team must be a black whistle!
