Mister Legend

Chapter 21

Leading again, Castilla was unreasonable, and still suppressed the home team without even a decent attack.

In the 307th minute of the first half, Enzo broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Socueramos' left back Lalitji. The referee awarded a penalty kick and drew a yellow card as a warning.After a brief discussion, the players on the field gave Mbappe the right to take the penalty kick. The French teenager had scored two goals before, and if he scored another penalty kick, he would complete a hat-trick.Mbappe lived up to the kindness of his companions and shot the ball into the middle in one fell swoop.

At half-time, the visiting team Castilla led the home team 17-3 with the first career hat-trick of Mbappe, who was only three and a half months away from turning 1.

In the locker room, Li Mudi, who had recovered from his shock, praised the team's performance, telling everyone not to pay too much attention to the world wave. In the second half, continue to stick to the pass-and-control style of play, and the midfielder should be bold.In the end, I patted Mbappe, who was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, and asked him to make persistent efforts and not to be complacent.

I don’t know if Xiao Li launched some unknown deception skills. The French boy scored two more goals with his head kick in the second half. With the goals of Alvaro and substitute Munoz, Castilla scored a goal. In the 7-1 victory, the home team fans who were present when the players left the field booed wildly.

After this round of competition, Castilla has accumulated 9 points and is one of the only four teams that have won all three games. They scored 13 goals and conceded 1 goal. Top of the 2 league table.

Although it is very close to Madrid, in order not to increase everyone's fatigue, the team stayed in Socueramos for one night before returning.Because of this big victory, the players were very happy, and they made an appointment in twos and threes to go out and relax together, and the coaching staff gave tacit approval to this.But our poor classmate Li Modi stayed alone in the room, beating his chest and feet, wanting to cry a lot.

In the next few days of training, everyone found that the head coach focused on Abner, and almost gave him one-on-one guidance.This move made other players envious, but the Brazilian left back was miserable. He was so tired that he wanted to lie down and sleep until the next day after training.Fortunately, it was enough for Li Moody's narrow-mindedness to vent for three days, and Abner didn't have the urge to stop playing and go back to his hometown.

September 9, no wind, 19 degrees Celsius.Castilla sits at home to usher in their fourth opponent in the league, Real Unión Club S.AD.This is a nationally broadcast game, so the kick-off time has been changed to 23:20 on Saturday.

There are many teams in Spanish football whose team names are dubbed "Royal". This is because they were bestowed by the Spanish royal family because of their outstanding record in a certain period, and the same is true for the Royal United.This club is located in the city of Irún in the Basque Country. The original team name was Racing Irún. In history, it won the King's Cup four times in 1913, 1918, 1924 and 1927. In 1915, the title of "Royal" was bestowed by King Alfonso III of Spain at the time, and the name was changed to Royal Union.The Royal United in the 20s and 30s was indeed a strong team, but in the last 15 years, they have been completely immersed in the third tier. The four groups of the B-League switched back and forth, and the results were very stable.Royal United performed well in the first three rounds of this season, ranking sixth in the standings with two wins and one loss.Forward Jorge Galán is a player with a very comprehensive ability. His shooting, speed, and explosive power are all 14, and his off-ball running and teamwork are all 28. In terms of ability alone, he is qualified to rank in the top of this level of league. Ten; central defender Esnaola and striker Mgarka are the backbone of the team; in addition, the core midfielder Mikel Alonso is the legendary midfielder Xavi Alonso (Xavi Alonso) Brother, the spiritual attributes are also very good.The average age of the players on this team is 20, which is the oldest among the [-] teams in this group, so they are very experienced and difficult to deal with.

At the pre-match press conference, Royal United head coach Aitor Zulaika (Aitor Zulaika) was very arrogant when answering reporters’ questions about how he viewed Castilla’s current performance. Winning means nothing, two newly promoted horses and an elevator with no historical honor, but any team with a bit of strength will easily win when they encounter such a role."

"But your team has only won two games, and it has lost two games in a row this month." The Marca reporter quit, and he had to find the right place to talk. This is not a place where others can just go wild.

Zuleyka pouted and smiled: "That's because we played the Copa del Rey before the last round of the game. Facing the powerful West Second Team Almería (UD Almería SAD), we fought for 90 minutes before losing by 1 goal. And In the third round of the league after that, we were also sneak-attacked by the opponent for 1 goal due to physical reasons. In terms of strength, we are much stronger. If they compete under equal physical strength, they are not opponents at all."

Immediately, other reporters continued to ask maliciously: "Then what do you think of Castilla coach Moody Lee?"

"No comment, because I didn't see anything related to the head coach during the game. Their team has a few players with good skills, but there is no tactical routine at all, and there are too many meaningless passes in every game .Being able to take advantage of the ball and get some goals that would not have happened, all because the opponents we faced before were too weak and there were always loopholes. We will not be so useless. I will let everyone watch this game Knowing what a team with the strength to win the championship should have, it will also let some players fully realize who is a coach worth playing for."

In just 10 minutes, Li Modi was unable to utter a single word except for answering a question at the beginning. This press conference became a "Zulaika Show of the Week", which made the reporters of Marca very angry and made the Some tabloid reporters were thrilled.Our rookie coach quietly watched him pretending to be B, thinking about how to slap this old guy in the face hard during the game.

Back in the locker room, Li Mudi asked his colleagues what happened to Zuleika. After hearing the pre-match press conference, Solari said: "This person is indeed a bit arrogant, but he usually doesn't make such nonsense. This time against You should have something to do with Peperu. When the home team made an offer to Levante, Royal United had already applied for him on loan, and it seemed that it was about to succeed. Peperu received our transfer when he was about to agree to that side. Apply, and as you know, very few people can refuse the call of Real Madrid."

"So there is a reason for this." Li Mudi nodded, then twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "But the dignity of Castile cannot be trampled upon. The king is worried and the minister is humiliated, the king is humiliated and the minister is dead, I must beat him in the face severely in this game, and he will find his teeth all over the floor."

"..." The Spanish coaches expressed that they did not understand the Eastern idioms.

At this time, there was still about an hour before the start of the game. Li Moody used the scout tool opportunity of this month to check the information of the Royal United in detail, and admitted that this team is indeed very capable.And Zuleyka has a few attributes that are much stronger than himself, it seems that he needs to plan in more detail, otherwise it will be embarrassing if he doesn't get slapped in the face and gets caught instead.

Castilla's starting lineup: goalkeeper Yanez, right back Felipe Lienhardt, center backs Hector and Leon, left back Abner, center midfielders Odegaard and Fabas, midfielder Enzo , right winger Cedres, left winger pull left, center Mbappe.Fran caught a cold, and Toro and Alvaro sat on the bench as usual.

The formation of the Royal United is its customary 4-3-3, and several core players all start the game except for Mgaka's calf muscle discomfort and injury.

The referee blew the opening whistle and the visiting team took the lead.

Royal United is also a team that is good at possession of the ball. Statistics after the first three rounds show that their average possession rate is 58%, second only to Castilla's 63%.In particular, the average age of the midfielders is almost 9 years younger than here, and they have a lot of experience.So in the opening 2 minutes, the players of the home team didn't even touch the ball once.

After 10 minutes, the situation on the field has become very clear.The two teams use similar tactics, but the players of the visiting team have an overwhelming advantage in strength confrontation, will quality and game experience.The players of the home team lost the rhythm of the ball in the past, the midfielder and the striker were seriously out of touch, and it was almost impossible to complete a decent cooperation.

"It seems that they were targeted to death!" Standing on the sidelines, Li Moody shook his head slightly. After Yanez barely saved Garland's strong shot, he saw the Castilla players through the FM system. Morale has dropped from more than 90% before the start of the game to below 70%. If changes are not made in time, it is likely to fail.

Taking advantage of the chance that the football was out of the baseline, Li Mudi stretched out his hand to call Enzo over, instructing the team to give up the normal tactical play, retreat three to five meters, and play defensive counterattack instead.Let Mbappe firmly nail the gap in the opponent's defense line. The two wingers increase their running without considering physical issues. The passing of Erdegaard and Enzo should be more concise. There is no need to pursue overall pass control. Pass the ball behind, allowing teammates to give full play to their speed advantage.

As a result, a scene that almost no one could have imagined before appeared in this game. Castile, who has always been elegant and gorgeous, even set up a bus!With the Royal United fully in control of the ball and gradually pressing up, Mbappe, who was at the top, came near the midfield circle, which made the 8400 home fans become silent, and then booed from time to time .

This is to mess things up!But you are so cowardly?
