Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 49 Substitute Battle
The in-team training match of the Premier League team is only 60 minutes long, and the referee is served by an assistant coach. During the season, it is generally only held when changing tactics or adjusting personnel, and when the truce is too long to maintain the team's competitive state.

At around 3 p.m., there were many spectators beside the lawn of the training base. Apart from the fans, everyone from the club’s vice-chairman Ayawat down to the ball boys came to watch. Leicester City’s official media, Leicester Mercury " also sent senior reporter Tony over to observe.

"Mr. Ayawat, today the team played casually. I am not even a referee, so naturally I will not interfere with them."

Ranieri also put his hands in his pockets, standing beside the vice chairman Ayavat, looking confident.

Not to mention the lineup of the main team, the substitute team consists of No. 23 Ulloa and No. 19 Kramaric as the double forwards.

Zhang Mai led the midfield with No. 33 jersey, No. 11 Albrighton, No. 31 Thorn Dyer and No. 34 Inle lined up.

后卫有27号瓦西莱夫斯基、2号德拉埃和29号贝纳卢安和7号哈蒙德，其中7号哈蒙德是中场客串后卫。

The goalkeeper is No. 43 Schwarzer, a 32-year-old veteran.

At the beginning of the game, the 28-year-old England midfielder No. 31 Thorn Dyer was ordered to entangle the main player No. 14 Kanter. The two were about the same height, and the slightly floating Thorn Dyer was still not afraid without the ball. special.

The substitute's left-back No. 7 Hammond has already been vaccinated by Zhang Mai, and the main team's No. 26 Mahrez can defend against his inside cuts. The rest of the work is up to him. The left foot will hit the right, just to cut to the left and then shoot. If you kill him, you will not pass from the right.

No. 2 Draai and No. 29 Benalouan took turns to stare at No. 9 Vardy. They brought down the ball when they saw the ball outside the penalty area, and they were suffocated in the penalty area.

No. 27 Wasilewski just needs to defend his right. No. 20 Okazaki Shinji can walk around outside the penalty area, and squeeze with his body as soon as he enters the penalty area.

No. 11 Albrighton and No. 34 Inler faced No. 4 Drinkwater and No. 10 Andy King on the main side;
Zhang Mai bypassed No. 14 Kanter's interception with high-altitude balls and fast long passes, creating offensive opportunities for No. 23 Uloa and No. 19 Kramaric ahead.

The two forwards of the substitute team are not greedy for credit, and they toss the tall defenders of the main team to their heart's content.

When the substitute team lost the ball in the frontcourt, Zhang Mai also used his speed to quickly pinch the ball handlers of the main team, just like a tall version of substitute Kanter.

The main team was clearly arranged by Zhang Mai, and everyone on the bench was fighting for breath.

The main side (or Leicester City’s usual tactical side)’s usual defensive routine of looking for Kanter, Kanter looking for Mahrez or Vardy was completely cut off, and the substitute team faintly gained the upper hand, just because the main force The strength of one side's back line avoided conceding the goal.

"Which side is the main force, the red side or the yellow side?"

The vice chairman Ayawat was so confused that he couldn't help asking Ranieri next to him.

"The yellow vests are the main force, and they are now practicing defense!"

Seeing that the main force was slowly falling into the downwind, Ranieri's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

MD, I should have replaced these original teaching assistants if I knew it earlier, they must be helping the substitute to come up with ideas and want to see Lao Tzu's jokes!
Several old courtiers from Leicester City helped Zhang Mai take the blame invisibly.

Ranieri uttered big words in front of vice-chairman Ayawat before the opening game, and he was embarrassed to give instructions in person for a while.

Assistant coach and director of signings Steve Walsh is the referee on the field, and his face is also a little hot at this time.

Except for the goalkeeper Jr. Schmeichel, the 11 members of the main team were all introduced by Walsh, and their worth accounted for 2/3 of the whole team. What kind of shit is this!

The opportunity to help has finally come!
9号瓦尔迪和替补方的2号德拉埃在禁区里争顶高空球，178cm的瓦尔迪还比188cm的德拉埃轻了将近20kg，被挤得一个狗啃地就趴到了地上。

"Qu"!Walsh's whistle blew and the substitute was awarded a penalty.

The players on the substitute side were about to approach Walsh for a theory, but were stopped by the dog-headed strategist Zhang Mai.

The substitute players who played well also gave Zhang Mai face, and Zhang Mai gently eliminated the impending turmoil.

"Yes! No. 33 Zhang Mai can get along well with these old players."

Vice-chairman Ayawat's compliment made Ranieri look even more gloomy.

"So what if they're alone?"

Zhang Mai only said this quietly, and the substitutes immediately felt that they had become the main force.

On the 9th, Vardy personally scored a penalty kick, and Walsh's whistle also sounded. At the end of the first half, the substitute fell behind the main team 0:1.

During the intermission, Ranieri, who was no longer calm, ran to the main side to chatter.

Zhang Mai in the distance sneered after seeing it. Fans all over the world know that Ranieri's on-site command effect is a negative number below zero.

The substitute only replaced the exhausted veteran No. 27 Vasilewski. There was no other way. Even in the penalty area, the Japanese played a variety of tricks. In the second half, they could only count on the new No. 8 Marty · James accompanied No. 20 Shinji Okazaki.

Zhang Mai also discussed with No. 19 Kramaric. In the second half, the two will switch positions from time to time, because now the substitute side needs to score.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides fought again.

After playing for more than 20 minutes, the scene fell into a similar situation in the first half. The substitute side had a slight advantage, and Ranieri was so anxious that he shouted loudly from the sidelines.

On the 19th, Kramaric retreated to the midfield, and Zhang Mai began to try to make a breakthrough in the middle.

Zhang Mai and No. 31 Thorn Dyer hit the wall and passed No. 14 Kanter.

The ball returned by Thorn Dyer was a bit too big, and Zhang Mai and the captain No. 5 Wes Morgan rushed to fight for the 1/2 ball.
Zhang Mai used an unskilled "Marseille maneuver" to barely pass the captain. He was about to break into the penalty area head-on, but was thrown to the ground by the experienced Wes Morgan.

"Qu"!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no matter how thick-skinned Walsh had to blow the whistle, he still acquiesced in Wes Morgan moving the tee point back five or six meters.

At a distance of 30 meters, it is still facing the goal. It is very difficult to attack the goal directly. At least Zhang Mai's "Full Moon Scimitar" is not easy to use now.

Zhang Mai made up his mind and added 15 genius points to the "God of Fallen Leaves" in the special skill column, making the proficiency of this skill reach 93/100.

Standing in front of the ball, Zhang Mai closed his eyes to digest the deciduous ball skills pouring into his mind, and then opened his eyes and backed away slowly after Walsh's whistle sounded.

Zhang Mai stopped after taking 5 steps, and then took a step to the right to start a run-up. At the end, he quickly swung his right leg, stood on tiptoe and hit the ball just below the center of the ball. Flew to the goal.

Zhang Mai stopped his body after taking a step forward, watching the ball flying towards the goal.

Standing in the middle of the goal, Schmeichel saw a white light jumping over the wall. It was too late to make a save. According to the ball's running route, it should have been higher than the goal. Shen, whized into the upper corner of the goal.

"Falling leaf ball!", "Falling leaf ball is more beautiful than Ronaldo!"

The audience on the sidelines shouted loudly, headed by the vice chairman Ayawat, all the staff of the Leicester City club watching the game applauded and saluted, including Ranieri on the sidelines and Walsh who was acting as a referee on the field.

Because it was an internal training match, the teammates on the substitute side did not celebrate, but they still came to congratulate Zhang Mai with a pat on the shoulder. From the strength of his teammates, Zhang Mai could see the gratitude and kindness of the substitute players towards him.

Then the game ended, and Zhang Mai and his teammates hid in the locker room immediately, and handed over the glorious scene of the on-site interview to the coach, captain and others.

"Zhang Mai, bull!"

Shinji Okazaki raised his thumbs up.

"Shouldn't anyone come to look for me for the time being, right?"

Zhang Mai felt that his teammates looked at him with a lot of kindness, and Vardy didn't know where to hide that funny?
"The main force and the substitute? No, I don't distinguish between these in my team. Those who can't meet the team's requirements have been eliminated. The rest are all qualified Premier League players. Whoever is in good condition can play!"

The old and cunning Ranieri easily settled the media reporters' controversy about the main substitute.

"The typical and boring defensive counterattack scene, the only bright spot is the new aid No. 33 Zhang Mai's falling leaves goal. I am looking forward to this Huaguo player who has amazed the world at Wembley Stadium. In the new season, he can bring us Come on for a great performance!"

"Leicester Mercury" senior reporter Tony reported this in the column "Pre-match Exploration Camp".
