There is a belief called football

Chapter 100 Against Buriram ([-])
After scoring the goal, the entire Buriram team celebrated wildly, as if they had won the AFC Champions League. In contrast, the slightly lonely Guangzhou Tianbao players.

Stan was expressionless. In all fairness, Buriram's goal was wonderful, from the defender "Tunes" who pushed the ball out of the siege, to "Anan" who kicked it forward, and finally "Achim Peng" scored. There were only 2 transitions in between.

Buriram did a good job of fulfilling Stan's request to the players of the team during the intermission, that is, to play as simple as possible.

I remember that in the 2008 European Cup, the Russian team that eliminated the Netherlands was the team that took this style of play to the extreme.

At that time, the Russian team, led by "Arshavin" nicknamed "The Tsar", played very simple football. The pass in the midfield was basically completed with 2 or 3 kicks. I remember the last game of the group match, Russia vs. Sweden.

At the club level, I also think of the Russian team "Zenit". In the UEFA Cup semi-final victory over Bayern Munich, Zenit also used the national team's style of play, which was extremely concise.

Although the strong rise of the ball-handling faction represented by Barcelona later weakened the momentum of this concise school, Stan personally admired that simple football very much.

So when Stan saw the opponent go in, although he was worried, but purely from the football level, he recognized the opponent's goal, but the game was still going on, Stan was not a spectator, what he wanted to do was to win!
"Come`on", Stan yelled to cheer up, while clapping loudly to cheer up the players on the field.

At this time, the captain Nei Kenan ran over and asked Stan a very realistic question, that is whether to attack or defend.

The situation is very simple, is to desperately bring back a precious away goal, or just like that, accept the 0-1 ending and go back to the home court.

Nekonan has played in the professional league longer than Stan has coached the professional league. To take a step back, Nekonan has represented Iran in international A-level competitions more times than Stan has coached in the AFC Champions League.

Ke Nan, who is experienced in internal medicine, knows that now that the deadlock has been broken, it is important to unify thinking.The current situation is very similar to the first leg of the 2015 Champions League semi-final, Barcelona VS Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich defended well throughout the game, but after conceding a goal in the second half, their thinking was not unified, and they lost 0-3 in the away game.

But at this time, Stan was obviously inexperienced. He told Nekonan, "Keep attacking and must score goals."

Nekonan nodded, but obviously he didn't agree with Stan's decision in his heart.

The final result proved that Nekonan’s worries were right. After scoring the goal, Buriram’s morale was high. They originally thought that Guangzhou Tianbao was an insurmountable mountain for them, but now they feel that this mountain is not impossible to conquer as long as they try.

At this time, Buriram, who had the ball in his hand, was more ruthless in defense. Once he grabbed the ball, he immediately passed it to the frontcourt, allowing three super-capable offensive players to try to attack.

Soon after, another African in the Buriram team, "Ohandza" from Cameroon made another victory, and the total score of the Buriram team was 2-0.

The telecommunications stadium in Buriram suddenly fell into a boil, and the passion of the fans was completely ignited. Before the game, they would never have thought that they could take off the pants of the "Chinese class bully" Guangzhou Tianbao and beat their opponents hard.

"Tao guides you to see if Stan should be replaced. If this continues, I am afraid that Guangzhou Tianbao will collapse," Shen Fangjian said.

"But the problem is that all the good cards in Stan's hand are already on the field, and the current situation can only make some changes among the 11 players on the field."

"In fact, it seems that when Guangzhou Tianbao conceded the first goal, Stan should make a change," Shen Fangjian said.

"Football is like playing chess. If you make a wrong move, if you only lose one goal, there is still great hope of returning to the home court. But the current situation is a bit difficult. The situation forces Stan to score an away goal. In two rounds of the game, an away goal is worth a thousand dollars," Tao Wei said.

In the two rounds, if the final total score is the same, then whoever scores more away goals will advance. For example, if the away game loses 0 to 2, then back home, Stan’s team needs to score 3 goals to advance, and if they lose 1 to 2, then returning home, only need to score 1 goal.

That's one of the interesting things about the two-legged knockout system, because FIFA encourages offense and makes the game look better.

Director Tao's voice was not finished, and he scored another goal on the field. Buriram, Thailand led Guangzhou Tianbao 3-0.

The Guangzhou Tianbao fans who came with the team were completely sluggish. Many people had already started to leave the field. Being doused in the heavy rain for 10 minutes was bad enough. What was even worse was that the beloved team was completely abused.

*****
At this time, Stan just woke up like a dream. He looked at his watch, and there were about 10 minutes of stoppage time. He ordered the boys to retreat across the board, and used up the remaining two substitutions in one go. Park Hancheng replaced Li Qiao, and Qi Bing replaced Recoba.

After Park Han-sung came on the court, he fought very fiercely. He flashed the soles of his shoes several times and turned the opponent's shovel on his back. Of course, he also received a yellow card, but the current situation requires Park Han-sung's style of play. In contrast, Li Qiao's style of play is soft. If Stan replaced the Korean earlier, the situation might be different.

Stan knew that after the game, the media would criticize him. The prize money wasted, and the media sneered at him. What Stan was most worried about was losing his coaching position. There had been rumors that the club was planning to hire a big-name coach, at least Lippi and Guus Hiddink.

And Stan knows that as long as he can go on in the AFC Champions League, then his position will be stable. In the current situation, even if he returns to the home court, there is little possibility of a comeback. Stan looked at the children on the field, and he was a little bit reluctant. He knew that if he was fired, Qi Bing, Qi Qi, and Li Qiao, whom he personally promoted, would not have a good life.

When the referee blew the final whistle, Stan stood like a sculpture on the edge of the court, the rain poured on his deep face, Stan's eyes were blurred, and he was a little confused.

When Magath coached Bayern Munich, his performance was not good, and the club fired him without even informing him. When Magath was driving the next day, he listened to the radio and found out that he had been fired by the club.

The giants have been ruthless since ancient times, and what Stan worried about was that on the plane back, the notice of his dismissal from the club had already come.

He stood on the sidelines, despite the heavy rain, "Will this be my last game coaching Guangzhou Tianbao?"
*****
When the plane landed in Guangzhou, the media had packed the airport to the brim. The away game lost 0-3. The pre-match rhetoric has now become a slap in the face. How could the media miss such news.

However, the media still did not block Stan. In the end, the staff of Guangzhou Tianbao came out to face the news media, and the players had already left through the VIP channel.

But if you can escape the first day of junior high school, you can't escape the fifteenth day. Before the weekend league match, Guangzhou Tianbao arranged a press conference. Although the press conference was aimed at the league match, any fool would know what the group of reporters would ask.

Sure enough, the first reporter who asked the question asked, "Coach Stan, will you resign?"
"Why? Just because of one game? Then I told you that the knockout round lasts 180 minutes, and you can ask me your questions after the game is over," Stan replied very strongly.

But the toughness at this time, will it become a joke after the second round in two weeks?
"I heard that the club has been looking for someone to replace you. What do you think?" the second reporter asked.

It's a bloody question.

But Stan still replied firmly: "Then you can ask the club, personnel affairs are not in my control, I am only responsible for the transfer of players, not the transfer of the head coach."

The club press officer saw that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to end the press conference early, but Stan stopped the press officer. Stan knew that it would be better to face it than to hide.

"Is the loss in the last game against Buriram related to your stupid employment? We saw that the replaced Park Han-sung is obviously more effective than Li Qiao", the third question.

"I suggest you watch the game before asking me this question. Li Qiao's threat in the first half can be understood by anyone who has watched the game. In addition, should your boss consider changing to a reporter who understands football better?"
Stan’s words amused the other reporters. Indeed, Stan’s answer to this question is very good and well-founded. In a 90-minute football match, you need someone like Li Qiao when you are on offense, and you need a tough player when you are defending. I cannot say who is more suitable.

Seeing that Stan's answer was airtight, no one really dared to continue provoking for a while.

"Any more questions?" Stan asked.

At this time, a female reporter asked a question with a crisp voice. She was actually Shen Yao, and her question was, "Will Li Qiao play in the next game?"

Stan looked at the female reporter in front of him and said three words, "Of course."

Everyone in the audience was shocked, thinking: "Does this Li Qiao have some backstage?"
Stan said that he violated the professional ethics of the coach. Before the game, nothing is taken for granted.

The reason why Stan did this is because if he wants to make a comeback in the next game, Stan probably needs to rely on Li Qiao and Recoba, so he wants to give Li Qiao an attitude, and he also hopes that Li Qiao can live up to his expectations.

Originally, the reporters in the audience couldn't ask any questions, but Shen Yao's question and Stan's answer made everyone excited again.

Someone then asked: "Why does Li Qiao have to play?"
