Go back to the past and be the king

Chapter 259 You have to face up to yourself
After the first round of La Liga, the defending champion Barcelona beat Racing Santander 3-0 away, while last season's runner-up Real Madrid drew 0-0 in the first match; At the top of the list, Forlan scored two goals to lead the scorer list; Valencia winger Joaquin also scored two goals to help the team win 4-0.In the assist list, Valencia's Argentine midfielder Banega has 3 assists;
It is worth mentioning that in the list of saves, the top two are the goalkeepers of the winning team. Atletico Madrid goalkeeper De Gea made 9 shots in a single game to keep the opponent's shots out, while Barcelona's Barde Si also made 7 saves.

It seems that this season, Atletico Madrid's front and back courts are very good, and the fans have a little more expectations for this season.

And all of this seems to have nothing to do with Lu Chen, he is now working hard to enter the big list.

"Lu, rest for a while..." Costa couldn't bear to watch Lu Chen refuse to leave for a long time after training, staying on the training ground for extra training.

Lu Chen kicked the last football out, then turned and walked towards Costa, took the towel he handed over and wiped the sweat off his face.

Behind him, the flying football drew a strange arc in the air and crashed into the goal.

"I'm not the same as you. You can still enter the squad now. And I don't know when I'll be able to play, so I can't rest..." Lu Chen panted.

Now Costa is being entrusted with more and more important tasks by the head coach, and Lu Chen, perhaps because of his playing style, has not been trusted by Flores until now.

Costa was silent for a moment, and after considering his language a bit, he said, "Lu, I have something I don't know how to say about your current situation..."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm already like this. There's nothing else I can't say, but it's okay."

Costa also knew that Lu Chen was a person who didn't like to beat around the bush, so he didn't bother.

He glanced at Lu Chen and said, "Lu, I think you should change the way you play football now..."

Lu Chen froze for a moment, "Why do you say that?"

In fact, Lu Chen also felt it himself. The feeling he plays now is completely different from when he played in Munich 1860.But the authorities were confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

Costa said: "You are not the core of the team now, and all the people in the team are no longer playing around you. Therefore, you have to sacrifice part of yourself to serve the team instead of letting the team serve you. Serve……"

"For example, in the previous training match, you could choose to pass the ball to me. But you chose to take the ball yourself, which caused the running of the rest of the team to become useless. And you also because no one responded. You, that's why you lost the ball..."

"That's the change I'm talking about, your mentality should change. It's not 1860 anymore, we're at Atletico Madrid now. I'm a substitute and you can't even play as a substitute, that's who you are The fact that should be accepted. Everything before, just let him be a memory."

Although Costa's words were direct, they were deafening, and made Lu Chen's confused heart suddenly clear.

Indeed, Lu Chen's current mentality has not yet adjusted.He still regards himself as the core, and he thinks that he has unlimited firepower in the team.As a result, there has been no way to integrate into the team...

Now that the reason is known, the problem is solved.

During the following training, Flores noticed the change in Lu Chen.

After recognizing himself clearly, Lu Chen, who no longer plays football with himself as the core, plays like a different person on the court.

Lu Chen used his speed and physical strength to explain what a "mad dog who can't run to death" type of player is.

He is also a little different from a B2B player. B2B is from the opponent's penalty area to his own penalty area.

And Lu Chen, from the goal of the main team to the goal of his substitute team, has him.

In the end, even bringing the substitute team almost overturned the main team...

Flores and his assistant looked at each other, and they could both see the word "surprise" in each other's eyes!
It's a pity that the roster for the competition has been determined. Before that, Lu Chen trained with the substitute team. If Lu Chen is put on the roster rashly, he still doesn't know if he can display his ability like this.

"Lu's performance is still unstable, let's wait and see..." the assistant coach suggested to Flores.

Flores also thought the same way. Instead of expecting Lu Chen's unstable performance, it's better to rely on the tactical formation that he has already trained.

So Lu Chen was still not included in the squad for this game, and Costa was still a substitute.

However, this time Costa's appearance time was obviously a little more than the previous game.

Just when there was not much time at the beginning of the second half, that is, at 58 minutes, Flores replaced Aguero, who was not very good, with Costa.

And Costa's performance is not bad. During the game, he hit the goal with both feet and shot on target twice.

Thiago Mendes' goal that opened the score was only scored after Costa's running position opened up the defense.

It can be said that now Costa is slowly using his outstanding performance to gain the trust of Flores, and slowly began to occupy an important position in the team.

But Lu Chen is still tepid, and his performance in training is good and jet lagged.

Up to now, even the media who have always believed in Lu Chen began to gradually suspect that maybe Lu Chen really became a shooting star across the sky, and once it fell, it would not be able to rise again.

But the Chinese media still have a little bit of expectation, looking forward to the next game where Lu Chen will be able to play.Because Atletico Madrid's next opponent is Barcelona!

Guardiola's Barcelona did not inherit the invincible record of last season. Only in the second round, they were overthrown by the newly promoted Hercules at home...

As I said a long time ago, newly promoted horses are monsters.

Hercules was able to pull the thriving Barcelona "Dream Three" army back to the earth, and also let other teams see the opportunity to defeat them.

In particular, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid...

Let alone Real Madrid, it is still early for them to play against Barcelona.

And Atletico Madrid, their battle with Barcelona is just around the corner...

Whether Lu Chen can make an appearance in this most critical game has become the most concerned thing of the Chinese media.

Therefore, many Chinese sports media came to Madrid early, wanting to know whether Lu Chen will appear.
