Midfielder

Chapter 13 The World of Adult Teams

Lin Yi was no stranger to the first-team head coach standing in front of him. That guy was the uncle who had been standing on the sidelines for two or three days in a row watching his games and training. Now Lin Yi was very careful to remove the modifier "obscene", although that guy always looked at people with this kind of perspective, which was really vulgar. But looking at the guy's face, Lin Yi wisely chose to remain silent.

Now Lin Yi doesn't want to provoke him. He doesn't want to be kicked back to the youth team by this unfriendly guy. But he doesn't feel nervous now. Instead, he feels the freshness of the first team, those who are sought after by his teammates in the youth team. The guys are standing next to me now, well, it feels pretty good, at least they are all alive, and it is much clearer than watching them play on TV.

But after seeing this new coach, Lin Yi finally understood why he was on the first team. But even Lin Yi himself clearly felt that this was a child's play, because the guy had only seen him participate in two or three days of training and group competition, and he had already decided to transfer himself directly from U18 to the first team, even if Even an idiot can understand how risky this is.

Well, Lin Yi looked at the people around him. It seemed that no one was smaller than him. These guys were all too strong. Lin Yi, who was only 1.73 meters tall, now felt that his height was a bit too short. The other wretched guy The uncle's actions this time seemed to be a bit too hasty.

But Mourinho didn't think so. First of all, the black-haired boy in front of him publicly called him a dirty uncle in front of so many people, which made the excitement he had been brewing for a long time ineffective. He could only keep his face straight now to keep his seriousness. The moment just now was indeed a bit embarrassing. Even he himself didn't know how to answer the conversation. That unfortunate kid was really rude.

However, Mourinho has become more interested in this kid. He has also seen many people in Spain who were directly promoted from the youth team to the first team, but those little guys are more or less nervous. , but the little guy in front of him didn't seem to feel this way at all.

When Lin Yi stepped into the first-team training ground, he was more out of curiosity. Anyway, such an experience was not stressful at all for him. Since you dare to choose me to join the first team in the U18, what do I have to be afraid of? If you dare to use it, I dare to kick it. As for what Edward said about the turbulent news outside, does it have anything to do with him?

What does it matter what others say to me now? They are not me? They are not players, they are only qualified to watch the game, so please shut up. If those boring people think they can stand on this lawn, let them try.

If they think they are more qualified to play for Benfica, then don't just stand on the sidelines and howl like crazy. As long as those people can pass Benfica's youth training, then they will have the opportunity to stand on the court and work hard for Benfica. If you can't even compete for the most basic quota, then what qualifications do you have to stand there and scream like an idiot? Aren't you embarrassed? Still want to be shameless?

Edward didn't even know how that boy Lin Yi had so much confidence. Didn't he know where he was going? This is Benfica's first team! Benfica! That is one of the most wealthy families in Portugal! Everyone who can make it to the first team is a good enough guy. Doesn't this guy know how to be nervous? Doesn't he know what pressure is? What a damn kid!

Even Edward felt a little uneasy when he learned that he was going to report to the first team with Lin Yi. After all, this was his first time to work in the first team, and it was with a new head coach. But now it seems that Lin Yi has no feeling at all about what happened. He even dared to look around before Mourinho was about to give a lecture, as if he wanted to see this luxurious training ground clearly.

"God, doesn't this kid know fear? You know that the guy in front of him just destroyed six absolute main forces, and now that little guy dares to have such a relaxed attitude in front of him. I really don't know what's going on. What are the boy’s nerves made of!”

Edward may have discovered for the first time that the boy he taught was extremely courageous. Now there may not be anyone in Benfica who is not afraid of the lunatic who is lecturing him. But Lin Yi didn't care about the expression of the guy in front of him. Edward was really worried that this kid's performance would anger the new head coach and ask him to pack up and go back to the youth team.

Edward, who was worried, didn't want the little guy he had worked so hard to train to be kicked out just like that, but Lin Yi didn't have any telepathic abilities. He didn't know how nervous Edward was at this moment. He just looked at the new teammates around him, but it was obvious that everyone here was older than him, even those on the second team were already 19. Years old, his height and physique are far greater than Lin Yi.

But Mourinho is not as cruel as these guys think. There is no good in being a tyrant in the team. He knows this very well. After all, football matches still rely on this group of players to play. It would be wrong to make the relationship too rigid. I don't have much help, just killing the power stick once is enough.

But Mourinho knows that he must maintain the minimum dignity as a head coach, even though that kid just destroyed it all. But the defeat in the first game has made Mourinho feel the pressure, and his team's renewal needs to see results immediately, otherwise he will be purged like the unlucky German.

Mourinho knows very well what the outcome will be if he fails here. At that time, no one will stand up to speak for him, including Azevedo, the club president. So he must reverse the current unfavorable situation of Benfica as soon as possible within a few games, and the people in front of him are the chips for him to make changes. Mourinho believes in his vision and the ability of these newcomers.

There is a saying in the British football world that the better the older, in the eyes of many people, only those old guys with rich experience are the best, and only these guys are the guarantee of your victory. Qualifications also have their own market in the football circle.

Because young people often represent the instability and uncertainty of their performance, but Mourinho does not think so, although having some old guys with mature skills and rich experience will bring stable results. But when your team is full of old lazy people, you might as well replace them with a group of reckless young people, because they all have strong desires and will be more competitive.

Especially those guys who have just been promoted from the second team or youth team to the first team, they are eager to stand out on the football field and they are eager to succeed.

What they need most now is that others create this opportunity for them. When Mourinho provides them with a space, these people will fight desperately. Because they understand that this may be a rare opportunity in their football career, especially in such a wealthy club. If they want to stand out, they must seize such a fleeting opportunity, otherwise everything may be rewritten.

Mourinho needs a strong competitive atmosphere in the first team. He has found too many problems in three days of observation, especially in training. Almost no one will fight hard in training. More often, training is like playing games, and many people don’t even bring protective gear.

In fact, it is not only these guys from Benfica who have such problems. Many Portuguese teams have the same training attitude problem as Benfica. They believe more in their own skills and ignore the lack of confrontation in training because they hate physical confrontation.

These guys use their skilled skills to exercise their bodies in training, rather than making the training look like a simulated game. In Mourinho's opinion, there is no difference between having or not having such a level of training.

What he needs now is to let these newcomers bring in the competitive atmosphere in training. If those old guys don't want to be replaced, they must fight hard, not only in the game, but also in training. They must do their best, otherwise, they will have to accompany those six guys.

From this moment on, Mourinho transformed Benfica's training ground into a battlefield. No one should dream of being lazy here, because Mourinho will remember every guy's performance on the field. If you don't do enough in training, then he will not give you any face.

Lin Yi also came into contact with the training method of the adult team for the first time. There is no basic training that Edward often assigns to him. Most of the time, it is to cultivate the familiarity between the players. What is taught here is not how to dribble or how to run. Instead, it tells you how to obey the team's discipline and how to implement every tactical arrangement. All of this is new to Lin Yi.

Maybe many first-team players are a little uncomfortable looking at Lin Yi, because this little guy's face, which absorbs the advantages of the East and the West, is matched with his not-so-great height. He looks like a standard little boy, and has nothing to do with a strong football player.

But when they played on the field at the same time, they knew that this guy's face was too deceptive! This little guy's foot is very ruthless. When he steals and intercepts in the midfield, he doesn't care who the guy in front of him is, and he can use any means.

Anyway, Lin Yi relies on his physical flexibility. When interfering with the opponent's dribbling, he always inadvertently breaks the opponent's ball directly.

That's not all. The counterattack launched by this kid after stealing the ball on the spot is too fast. Every time he doesn't deliberately look for a target before passing the ball. But he rarely makes mistakes in passing. Even if he is not physically dominant in confrontation, he will try to keep the ball under his feet.

"What we need is the football awareness shown by this little guy on the field. He knows when and where to pass the ball. He is a smart organizer." Mourinho is very satisfied with Lin Yi's confrontation in the game. What he needs is for this kid to play like this on the field.

Even in training, he must play like this. The little guy taught these people a lesson. Maybe it was Lin Yi's crazy pressure that made the old players feel embarrassed.

The fight on the entire training ground began to become fierce. This may be the most fierce training in recent months. It has already had a taste of actual combat. Mourinho stood on the sidelines and watched this change with great satisfaction.

However, the little guy Lin Yi did not seem so relaxed in the training. He suffered a lot from his unfamiliarity with his teammates and physical disadvantages. This was not the training ground of the youth team, where he could play so calmly and freely. Those professional players also let him experience the cruel confrontation of the professional team level in advance. Lin Yi found that his thin body was really a bit overwhelmed by such a confrontation.

This also made Mourinho understand that there was still a certain physical gap between the little guy and him. At least for now, it was still difficult for him to withstand the impact of others, but Mourinho believed that his vision was right. This kid was a good material that could be created, but his body was still a bit thin.

The coach who was transferred with him from the youth team had to continue to increase the training of this kid. Maybe this little guy would become a surprise weapon in his hands, but Mourinho would not have such an expression on his face. He stood on the sidelines with a serious face from beginning to end.

Maybe such training can really bring a sense of actual combat. At least after three days of such hard work, Benfica won the game in the new round of the league. Although their opponent is only ranked tenth in the league, it is not a strong team worth mentioning. But the score of 3:1 at least gave Benfica, which was wandering in the trough, a shot of heart. This is the beginning of recovery. Benfica does not want to be kicked and beaten like a dead dog.

Mourinho also successfully relieved his own pressure, especially those who criticized him for making personnel adjustments. The two second-tier wingers he sent to the field completed the breakthrough task excellently. At least two of the three goals were related to the newly promoted teammates. Mourinho proved his vision in this way, but Benfica's organization in the frontcourt is still a little scattered.

Lin Yi just sat in the stadium as a member of the team and watched the whole game. When Mourinho saw the situation on the field, he inadvertently glanced at the stands, "If the little guy is strong enough, maybe he will be the most suitable candidate for the organizer position."

"It seems that God will not give all the good luck to one person. I hope that little guy can grow up quickly. I will make Benfica the strongest in Portugal again." Mourinho's clenched fist behind his back was not seen by anyone. Only he knew that this victory was just his starting point.

However, Lin Yi did not notice this scene. He just watched his new teammates, making the whole stadium sensation again and again. When they scored, they would wave their fists and let the whole stadium cheer for them.

"If I step on this stadium one day, will there be so many cheers?" Lin Yi looked... thinking...

He didn't know when that day would come, but he knew that if that moment came, he would definitely do it very beautifully!

This was a new beginning for Lin Yi in the first team. Fortunately, he had good luck. Except that the uncle often asked Edward to increase his training, Lin Yi could not find anything unsatisfactory.

However, Lin Yi dared to bet that these two uncles were guys with a strong sense of revenge, because the amount of training they arranged for him on the first day would make him tired like a dead dog. NND, two old guys who took revenge for personal gain. . .
