Chapter 68 Tangled Cassel (There is another chapter tonight)
As Trabelsi enthusiastically celebrated the goal, the live cameras gave Button and Samaras another shot.But at the moment Trabelsi scored, the two, like other teammates, raised their hands and jumped up from their seats cheering.

From the look of their expressions, the two were no different from the others.

Not getting the expected expression, the camera could only turn back helplessly.

The two people who raised their hands in celebration immediately withdrew the piled smiles on their faces, and slumped down on their seats listlessly.

"It seems that you are going to lose." Samaras put his hand on the pillow, and his expression looked relaxed in the field of view.

"Why, are you going to give up?" Barton pouted, folded his hands on his chest, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"No. But I thought about it carefully. As long as I have a place in the team's starting lineup and reflect my value, then I will naturally get the status I deserve. There has never been a core figure who is passed and the head coach Famous for doing the right thing.” Samaras shrugged helplessly: “Take a step back, even if you really win the boss and make yourself an indispensable person, the boss’ prestige will be wiped out and you will be dismissed.” Now, do you still want to fight like this?"

Button was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Everyone understands the truth, and no one is born to oppose the head coach. But now it is a free society after all, don't you think the boss is too authoritarian?"

Samaras was silent, his character was not as rigid as Button's.With emotion, it is because the good performance of the last few games has been carried away.Now that he sat on the bench for a game, his feverish head suddenly cooled down a lot, and he also calmed down.

But Samaras, who calmed down, found that Barton was thinking much deeper than himself.It seems that Barton's rough and sellable performance is just an appearance, covering up his delicate thoughts.

"So... what are you going to do?" Samaras asked.After asking this sentence, Samaras actually had a plan in his heart.What he has to do now is how to persuade Barton to change his mind.

"I plan to reconcile with the boss after the game." Button's answer made Samaras dumbfounded.Originally, Samaras was still thinking about how to persuade Barton, but Barton himself made a U-turn.

Samaras didn't speak, he knew that Barton would definitely explain.

"Okay, I admit, you actually convinced me." Barton spread his hands and said.

"Hehe." Samaras and Patton laughed together.

As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. After the fight and the same dilemma as the brothers and sisters on the bench, the distance between the two has narrowed a lot.

The knot was lifted, and the attention of the two returned to the game.

At the last moment of the game, Everton, who was behind 1:3, gave it a go and attacked with all their strength.In front of Manchester City's defense line, waves rose higher and higher, crashing and roaring again and again.The waves hit the reef, stirring up foam and debris all over the sky.The water droplets in the air have not yet dissipated, and another wave of spray brought more foam into the air.

Under the wave after wave and the sky full of foam, even Manchester City's defense line was submerged.

But in the crevices of the waves, we can still see the occasional hard reef. Although it has been hit again and again, the reef has never retreated even a step.

Everton can achieve good results, relying on the defensive counterattack to win, rather than the positional battle where every inch of land is contested.They are used to playing against strong teams with a weak posture, and they are not used to oppressing weak teams.Now coming to besiege the iron barrel formation of Manchester City, it seems that there is more than enough energy but not enough energy.

The dense crowd in the penalty area makes it impossible to open the blank area for such a pass.Even if there is a space where Everton players withdraw from the running position, it will be covered up immediately.Sometimes Arteta sees the space and before he can pass the ball, the space disappears.This makes the command tower a display.

The middle road is blocked, and the side roads are also not good.Manchester City's defensive line shrunk, and everyone returned to the 30-meter area of ​​the backcourt. There were at least two people on the left and right flanks, which severely squeezed the space for Everton's two wings to move around.

Everton, who pressed out and attacked wildly, does have an obvious advantage.But the problem is that the advantages in the situation can't bring them goals, nor can they bring them victory. Often after advancing to the vicinity of Manchester City's penalty area, Everton can no longer find a way to tear the Manchester City iron. Barrel-like solid line of defense.

The outside players can only blindly hoist the football high into the penalty area, praying that it can be transformed into a threatening shot by their teammates, but there is a formation attached to Manchester City's defense, and the most feared thing is this kind of cross!Richards is not at a disadvantage in terms of height and strength, and has an extraordinary sense of prediction. Almost all high balls are destroyed by him immediately.

Everton right forward Simon Davis once made a breakthrough, but the penalty area was full of people. He had neither room to move nor a route to pass the ball. Just in such a dazed effort, the ball was given by Sun Jihai. Kicked off the touchline.In the penalty area, there are even more crowds, and every Everton player is caught in Manchester City's "ocean of people's war".Under the cover of the chaotic situation, the shady little moves of the defensive players greeted Everton's offensive players time and time again.

Everton's siege lost its power. Instead, Manchester City took advantage of the emptiness of Everton's pressure and organized several effective counterattacks.

In the 82nd minute, Sibierski and Richards cut off the football together. Before the opponent came up to block, Sibielski quickly passed the ball to Mido.Mido made a direct long pass and found Vassell in the frontcourt.

Vassell rushed into the Manchester City penalty area like the wind, and the opposing defender came up to press. Vassell passed the ball to Ismail Miller, and then turned around deftly, swayed past the opponent, and went deep.

But Ismael Miller, who seldom dribbled the ball throughout the game, made an old mistake at this time. Ismael Miller, with his back to the goal, flicked the ball bit by bit, suddenly turned around and shot!

Although it was sudden, the kick was too hasty, not strong enough, the angle was too straight, and the ball was not fast - the football went straight into the arms of the Everton goalkeeper.

"Wow!" Jim Cassell put his head in his hands and cursed something in a low voice.

With this ball, if Ismail Miller completes the two-for-one cooperation and passes the ball to Vassell, then Vassell will face a lone goalkeeper.

Fortunately, the team has already led 3:1, and it is nothing to miss an opportunity.

In regret, Jim Cassell couldn't help but glanced at the bench. If Samaras was allowed to come, maybe the goal would have been scored.Thinking of this, Jim Cassell was also a little annoyed: These players are really serious. The team's performance is not good, but they still have conflicts. Is it so difficult to train and play with peace of mind?Do you have to come out to blame the head coach?
Don't you know you can't rub sand in Duncan's eyes?

Thinking of Duncan's iron-fisted style, Jim Cassell felt bitter again.This head coach is still too young and too tough in dealing with things, which can easily cause players to resent him.

But having said that, compared to the penalty of sending Cordella to the reserve team because of the lateness incident, Duncan was kind to Button and Samaras.At least for now, these two have entered the 18-man roster and are sitting on the bench.

So, Barton and Samaras also have to thank Duncan?
Jim Cassell was awakened by this absurd idea, and quickly withdrew his rambling thoughts.He made a plan. After the game, he must talk to those two players and Duncan separately. As an assistant coach, his role is the link between the head coach and the players.

"Ismael Miller, this kid is still too immature! He has too little first-team competition experience!" Duncan's voice reached Jim Cassell's ears.

Ismael Miller is characterized by a strong body and powerful strength. Such a center should be a tactical fulcrum, but because of the "too independent" performance of the last start, Ismael Miller seldom takes the ball Protects the ball and always passes the ball quickly.

Although the power of the "four-element formation" can be maximized with one kick, it shows from the side that the teenager is immature in handling the ball. This blind shot is also the same reason.

Hearing Duncan's words, Jim Cassel showed his old blood: "I don't have much first-team game experience. Is it about yourself? Ismael Miller has more than 11 game experience, counting This game, this is your [-]th game, right?"
