Chapter 6 Candidates for Acting Head Coach

In the end, this reserve league ended with Manchester City's 3:2 Jedi counterattack and finally won.

The reserve team players are very happy. After all, the victory won by the head coach of the first team will allow them to give Pierce some good impressions. When the first team is short of personnel, these impressions will take effect.

"This is a very good victory. To be honest, it really exceeded my expectations. The boys in the reserve team are great, of course, you are even better!" At the end of the game, Pierce looked at Duncan with a smile and said, "Especially you The arrangement for Barata is definitely a stroke of genius. As for Samaras, he can stay in Manchester City, so the first person to thank must be you!"

"Diop kept a dark face and stopped talking.

Originally, he was ready to satirize Duncan's 442, but he didn't expect the game to develop in the opposite direction.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Duncan's arrangement created the team's big reversal.

So now Diop's mouthful of words can only be stuffed in his stomach.

The winner is the prince, the one who wins the game is the winner!
"Maybe luck is on our side." Duncan concealed.He didn't want Pierce to discover the secrets of array football, so the less he said, the better.

"Luck is also a part of strength." Pierce said, Pierce, who has been on the court for a long time, is very disapproving of Duncan's "luck theory".Since it was Duncan's adjustment, the victory must be due to Duncan's ability.

But Diop behind him nodded sharply: luck, this kid is definitely luck, it's just that he ran into Samaras, who is lucky and lucky.

Now that the game is over, Pierce said goodbye to Duncan.

After the players celebrated and showered and left, Samaras found Duncan alone.

Samaras eyes, full of gratitude, Duncan almost saved his career!

"Coach, just now Pierce said, let me report to the first team tomorrow." Samaras first said goodbye to Duncan, and he was about to leave.

"Your strength is no problem, as long as you adjust your mentality, you will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the first team." Duncan encouraged.In the formation system, Samaras's evaluation is "the main player".

"Although you just said that winning is luck, I know it's definitely not!" Samaras said excitedly.

As the direct scorer of the three goals, he can clearly feel the difference he personally experienced before and after Duncan made the arrangement.

In the first half of the game, it is not that he and Barata have not cooperated, but the tacit understanding between the two is average. After all, Samaras was in the first team and Barata was in the reserve team before. The two had no chance to play together.

But after Duncan made the arrangement, Samaras suddenly had a feeling that he and Barata seemed to be old buddies who had cooperated for decades. He knew exactly what the opponent would do in the next moment and in which direction the ball would go.As for Balata, I also feel the same way.

But before, the two had obviously never played football together!
Off the court just now, Samaras went to ask other players, but the answer he got was "no". When they cooperated with Samaras, nothing changed.

The only thing that changed was between him and Balata.

And Duncan made the arrangement, and it was only him and Barata. From this point of view, Samaras must have something to do with Duncan for this miraculous change!
"Okay, let me tell you the truth!" Duncan sighed, and suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and leaned over, lowering his voice, "Actually, I am a wounded dragon, because I was seriously injured, I can only maintain my human form. And between you and Balata, I used dragon language magic to make it."

"Eh..." Seeing Duncan suddenly and seriously say that he is a dragon, Balata's brain short-circuited for a while.Originally, he suspected that Duncan had some kind of magical ability. After all, it was too shocking for a single arrangement to change a game.

But now that Duncan said it in a serious manner, Samaras was a little unbelievable.

"Perhaps, it's really luck. A blind cat meets a dead mouse?" Samaras made an excuse for himself.

Thinking of this, Samaras secretly told himself that he really thought too much, so he apologized to Duncan, turned around and left.

Duncan let out a long sigh of relief. If he wanted to try Samaras to be more simple-minded, and if he wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, Duncan's lie was really hard to come by.

"I should think of an excuse once and for all, so that if someone asks me in the future, I will have something to say." After all, since I came to this world as a coach, I must use the formation system, and I can't let it go away just because others question it.

Although this game was played extremely well, it can be called a big reversal.But after all, it's only at the reserve level.

The attention received is very low.

So no one cares about it except the person involved.

Even if someone knew about it, they would only think that this was just a reserve team game, and it didn't represent anything.

In the following days, Duncan gradually melted and absorbed the memory of his "predecessor".

Although the level of coaching is not superb, he has all the knowledge a coach should have.

Even if he doesn't wear sunglasses now, with the tactical knowledge in his mind, he can direct the training and competition of the reserve team.But because he had to close his eyes when using the formation, Duncan still kept his sunglasses close to him.

As for the coaching style, Duncan has strict requirements on the team's tactics and discipline.

Off the court, everyone can be casual, but on the court, he is the one and only coach.

That's why he doesn't like Diop meddling.

Of course, Duncan is not a "do-it-yourself" head coach.More often, Duncan handed over the usual training tasks to other coaches, and he was only responsible for directing official games.

Under his "wise command", although the reserve team lost the striker Samaras, they still won three consecutive victories in the reserve team league.

Compared with the high spirits of the reserve league, the results of Manchester City's first team are in stark contrast.

The first team lost two of their three games in February, except for one draw.

Samaras, who originally thought he could be a rescuer, was completely out of shape in the first team, and he no longer had the heroic state of scoring three in a game in the reserve league.

Pierce arranged for him to start three games, but in the three games, Samaras was ineffective and mediocre. It seemed that there was no difference before.

At this time in the Manchester City team, Pierce's prestige has dropped to freezing point.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Manchester City lost 0:2 at home to relegation rival Reading.When the whistle blew at the end of the game, there were boos and get out of class dismissals for the first time in the silent South Stand of Manchester City.

Pierce's face was ugly.

Sure enough, in the next day's newspaper, there were overwhelming criticisms of Pierce.

Outside the club, some fans also gathered. They held up banners and chanted slogans, hoping that Pierce would be dismissed from get out of class.

Regarding the speculation about the new coach, many media pointed to Diop.

Diop's previous preparations have played a very good role. Many media have pointed out that once Pierce dismisses get out of class, Diop is the most suitable successor.

Even many fans hope that Diop will succeed.After all, Manchester City has a lesson from the past that "the assistant coach became a full-time coach and led the team with good results".

Even the team's rotation midfielder Harman also stood up and supported Diop: "He has maintained a good relationship with everyone, and I trust him very much. If one day I can play under him, that kind of It must feel good."

Harman is a player who only joined this season, so he is not interested in Pierce's great contribution to Manchester City.

Although because of his mediocre performance, he is only a rotation player.But the playing time is relatively stable, and he can be regarded as a quasi-main player.
