Chapter 4 Redemption of Samaras
Duncan did not expect that the head coach and assistant coach of the first team would visit together.

Pierce asked about Duncan's injury, and after getting an answer that wasn't a big question, Pierce nodded.

The game was still going on, and the attention of the two was quickly attracted by the game.

Samaras, who was completely out of shape, once again missed the set kick passed by his teammates.The Greek striker looked helpless with his head down and his eyes dazed.

Some players are already a little dissatisfied, wondering why the coach didn't replace this big man who would only waste opportunities.

"Duncan, I think it's time for us to make a substitution." Diop frowned, pointing to Samaras: "That kid is a waste of opportunities on the court, he is not suitable for Manchester City at all."

Samaras is 1.9 meters four, but his waist and abdomen are not strong enough, and his header ability is weak.He handles the ball well, but lacks the speed, so it's hard to get out of defense.On the court, Samaras often fell into a bitter battle.

Pierce frowned, and Samaras was indeed in the reserve team.But in any case, this is also a player he introduced himself.Diop said that Samaras was wrong at this time, wouldn't that be slapping Pierce's mouth?
That's not what an assistant coach should be saying.

Through the sunglasses, Duncan looked at Diop with a less friendly expression.

In a team, at any time, the head coach is the only authority.The head coach has the sole right to speak, and no second voice is allowed.

Diop's words have already been considered as meddling in the internal affairs of the team.

Just now, no matter how bad the situation on the court was, the assistant coach of the reserve team didn't speak.

The assistant coaches of the reserve team understand the truth, but Diop, an assistant coach of the first team, doesn't even understand it.

Unaware of what he said, Diop, who offended the two head coaches, is still complacent about his "wise guidance".

Diop didn't know that his gesticulation touched Duncan's back scales, and he was still talking endlessly: "Salamas is obviously out of tune with the whole team, look, this time he ran past again, how good it is!" He wasted all the chances you had! And your attacking midfielder, who didn’t organize the attack well and ran into the penalty area to ask for the ball, did he think he was a striker? It’s not just these two, the whole team is completely out of touch. Some people want to attack, some people want to defend, it's a mess! No wonder it's the reserve team, sure enough..."

"So what?" Duncan said coldly.

As soon as Diop turned his head, he saw Duncan standing aside with folded arms. Although he was separated by sunglasses, the two cold gazes were like sharp swords, making Diop tremble.

"No, it's nothing..." Facing the cold Duncan, Diop's heart trembled, and he swallowed the second half of the words again, faltering.

Duncan didn't speak any more, and turned his head to the playing field.

When Diop came back to his senses, he suddenly felt ashamed: You, a small head coach of the reserve team, actually scolded me?

And facing the other person's eyes, he actually felt a little embarrassed?

but……

Why did Duncan, an honest man who is usually friendly, suddenly show such an aggressive side?

The feeling just now must be an illusion, right?

Yes, it must be an illusion.

Diop, who came back to his senses, was a little annoyed: in front of so many people, he was frightened by Duncan's words.If this gets out, doesn't it mean that Diop is afraid of Duncan?

Duncan was thinking about what to do.

The team is still behind and time is running out.Many people, including Manchester City players, felt that they were going to lose.

Duncan is a person who hates failure extremely and loves victory!
He noticed Samaras' lackluster performance.

He cast his eyes on Samaras, and Samaras' personal information immediately appeared in front of him.

Name: Samaras

Team: Manchester City Reserves

Position: Forward

Role: Striker

Loyalty: 50
Personality: hesitant

Rating: main player

"It seems that there is indeed a problem!" Others couldn't see anything, but Duncan, who held the system in his hand, found that Samaras' loyalty had dropped from 61 to 50.

This is already a very dangerous signal!This figure shows that the player may decide to leave the club at any time.

But the strength evaluation of Samaras is actually there. Duncan looked at the players on the field, and none of them rated higher than Samaras.

It seems that we can only gamble!

Duncan knew that for such loyalty, any words of encouragement were useless.Because this player has begun to distrust himself and the team.

In other words, his self-confidence has begun to crumble.

But luckily you met me!

The corner of Duncan's mouth curled up. He was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Diop: "Hello!"

"What's the matter?" Diop, who had been waiting for Duncan for a long time, replied with staring eyes.

He puffed out his chest and belly, trying to put on an imposing look.

"Oh, nothing." Duncan calmly turned his head back.

"What do you mean?" Diop was a little annoyed.

Over and over again, take me as a hello-kitty?

"I forgot the name of that front midfielder, but I just remembered it. His name is Barata." Duncan said.

Diop almost staggered and fell.

Just asking for a name?

Forget it, I'm such a big shot, I don't have the same knowledge as him.

Diop wants to calm down.

But right away, the scene that made Diop vomit blood happened.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Duncan called Barata to the sidelines: "Baratta, in the next game, you go to the front and partner with Samaras as a striker."

Barata nodded. He is characterized by his flexibility and excellent feet.Partnering with Samaras, it can barely be regarded as a standard striker combination of one high and one fast.

"Also, tell everyone that once you get the ball, no matter what the situation, give the ball to you or Samaras. It's the same after you two get the ball. He can only pass the ball to you, and you can only pass it to you. Can pass the ball to him! You two, except for your own shots, can only pass the ball to each other! Remember, it is any time and any situation!"

Duncan looked at Balata and gave orders with a serious face.

"Uh, coach...anytime, under any circumstances?" Balata was a little puzzled and repeated.

"Anytime! Under any circumstances!" Duncan said with an emphasis.

"Okay, coach!" Although the arrangement made by the head coach felt a little unreasonable, Barata nodded and turned back.

He noticed that Pierce and Diop were on the side, so he must be more obedient and submissive.

On one side, Diop's face turned black with anger. These two arrangements of Duncan were exactly the opposite of what he just said.

He said Samaras always wasted opportunities, and Duncan asked everyone to pass the ball to Samaras.

He said that Barata always went forward without doing his job, and Duncan asked Barata to play forward.

This co-author of Duncan is playing against him, against him!

But this is obviously Diop's self-indulgent sentimentality. Duncan holds the formation system in his hand, so he naturally made display arrangements based on the players' abilities.

The three substitute strikers of the reserve team are all evaluated as "young players", only Barata is slightly better, and is a "substitute player".At this time, it is natural to use Balata.

Duncan didn't notice that the decision he made was completely opposite to Diop's.

"Interesting." Pierce, who had been watching from the sidelines, raised the corner of his mouth.Duncan's arrangement, which is exactly the opposite of Diop's, happened to put an end to a hesitant thought in Pierce's mind.

It is true that he is about to leave get out of class soon, but as a famous Manchester City player, Pierce has the right to make suggestions on the candidate for the new coach...

Let's see who is better between you two!
Barata quickly informed everyone of Duncan's "tactical intentions."Although the players on the field were a little stunned, they still followed suit.

The most surprised was Samaras.

He didn't expect that the coach would put the outcome of the game on himself.My previous performance can really be said to be terrible!
He already had the consciousness of being replaced.

"Well, since the coach still believes in me, I'll give it a try." Samaras encouraged himself.

"Boy, you can do it." Duncan stood on the sidelines, closed his eyes, and put the small circles representing Samaras and Balata in the formation system into the eyes of the formation of the two dragons out of the water.

The moment it was put in, the yin-yang fish representing the two dragons out of the water glowed with a ray of light and began to operate.

Duncan said in his heart: "There are two dragons coming out of the water formation to support you, if you don't stand up again, don't blame me!"
