Chapter 168 Let me play central defender?
Coach Susic suddenly stopped the game!

All of us have never encountered the experience of stopping the game during the team's training!This is a team training that simulates actual combat. It has always been valued by everyone in the team!
Under normal circumstances, if there is an accident in the team's training game, such as someone being seriously injured, or a major incident such as a fight, etc., the team's group training game will be suspended.Coaches all over the world basically hold similar views on this item. After all, there are not many opportunities to simulate actual combat in any training, and group training within the team is one of them!
However, coach Sucic took the initiative to stop this team training match! This rare fact surprised us very much.Everyone can't figure out what drug coach Susic's mind is selling.As a newcomer to the national team, I can only stare blankly at how effective Coach Susic's strategies can be.

"Miloi Bisovich, you go to the bench and join Spasic and the others directly, so that Spasic can cooperate with you."

I was shocked and said: "Coach Sucic, but I am not a well-known athlete, let alone an all-rounder. I am just a midfielder. I am good at technology. You let me play central defender. How can I beat it?"

Coach Susic said: "It's okay, there are always ten different arrangements for ten people, if one kind of arrangement, in the end, will be unlucky to you, it means that you have to be here to practice this kind of Arrangement of the required abilities. A good player should have the ability to be versatile and be able to be that unlucky guy anytime and anywhere. In the current Bosnia and Herzegovina team, I hope to have this kind of ability The one with the ability is you."

"However, Coach Sucic... I still think I'm more suitable to play in midfield... Such a temporary task, can't it be someone else's turn?!"

"Don't worry, it won't be my turn. Because I think that the person who can make contributions in the defense is the soul and the most important person in a team. I think you will become such a person. Bosnia and Herzegovina's defensive line has made great achievements, and it has perfectly switched between the roles of midfielder and defender. In fact, in the final analysis, our Bosnia and Herzegovina team does not need a superstar like Babarec, because we have it, but, in In our central defender position, we really need a world-class star to occupy the main position and let him make outstanding contributions in our defensive position. I think, with your talent and ability, you will be able to do it A new role like a centre-back."

"Is it really possible... Coach Susic... But... I still want to play in midfield..."

"Maybe it's like this. In this team training game, you first go to the substitute team to play as a central defender for a while, and it will be regarded as our tactical experiment, so that you can get familiar with the new position first and see what happens. Can you really meet the requirements of such a position? As for the question of playing in the midfield, in fact, if you play in the midfield, which side is your shooting position? Although your shooting power is very good, but the awareness of shooting Not strong, the accuracy of shooting is not high, this kind of ability, on the contrary, it should be said, is not very suitable for the requirements of playing midfield."

"...Coach Sucic, otherwise, let me try to play first? If I really don't play well, you can just let me go back to the midfield position."

"Okay then..." Coach Susic also let go of his tone: "Take it as practice today, and when you are familiar with the position of central defender, you will thank me for bringing you to the position of central defender today of."

"Okay..." I said sadly.

……

So, coach Susic asked me to come to the bench.With my additions, our substitute lineup is very complete. The back line has become four defenders, and the space in the middle has been filled.However, my defensive skills are not good. Under such circumstances, even if one person is added to the back line, what can I do?Could it be that coach Susic just took a fancy to my jumping ability?I'm not as tall as Dzeko and Ibisevic, and of course not as tall as Fjotoft, but I have a pretty good bounce, which means that I have the opportunity to compete with these big guys for the header.The ability to control the air is one of the most important abilities when facing the Norwegian team. My air stay is of course very important, but can it really be more important than the defensive skills?I can't vouch for myself at all.

In any case, this game resumed under coach Susic's whistle blowing again.The home side, with Misimovic in possession and Pjanic defending in midfield, continued on the same path as before.However, since the defense line on the side of the bench has increased from three to four, Dzeko and Ibisevic are facing more entanglements, and it is true that their running positions are not so flexible.Misimovic saw that he could not pass the ball to Dzeko and Ibisevic, so he passed the ball to Pjanic and ran towards the side.He obviously wanted to pass the ball over the heads of the two big men Dzeko and Ibisevic through the bottom line.And his plan was also implemented smoothly-Pjanic passed the ball to Salihovic on the sideline, Salihovic passed a person, and then passed the ball straight to Misimovic.Misimovic, who received a direct pass from the side, made a direct pass without stopping the ball——

The ball flew over Ibisevic's head!Ibisevic jumped high, and I jumped desperately, trying to beat him!However, my header is still unable to compete with him!Although Ibisevic didn't shoot the goal himself, he also created an excellent opportunity for Dzeko!Dzeko knocked lightly in front of the door again.

The ball was scored into Piprica's goal again.Nothing has changed.

After 2:0, the main team continued to strengthen their offense.Soon, Misimovic made another cross from the wing, and this time it was Dzeko who competed with me for the header.His header beat me straight away, a high-flying header that slammed into Piprica's goal hard.My performance is still very bad. As a central defender, in the new position, I have shown a considerable degree of unskilled and unaccustomed.These two balls are my defensive responsibility.

I... have I gotten worse?
