Chapter 60 - Friendly Match

Nelson is a very forgiving Portuguese boy. He didn't have too many complicated thoughts because of the arrival of new domestic aid. After Mendes had a long talk with the club, Nelson's position was very stable, and Griezmann, the handsome The Frenchman was assigned to the winger position, and there has been no conflict for the time being.

Although Griezmann is an absolute highlight player in Real Sociedad, compared to other young stars who become arrogant after becoming famous, Griezmann is much better.The bigger reason for coming to Deportivo is that Deportivo offered Real Sociedad a transfer fee that was irresistible, and Griezmann was full of expectations for the future after being persuaded by Vazquez in person, so he The integration in the team is still very good.

In addition, now the third captain Rich is serving as the field captain and daily training. He treats his French compatriots very kindly, which also makes Griezmann feel warm in Deportivo.

Everything seemed to be in order, and the expected conflict between the two forwards did not break out, which made Vazquez very relieved. He brought the two together to the friendly match, and prepared to let them go up together to see the effect.

Let Nelson really feel the crisis is when taking the team bus to Santander.

The new French kid actually took the place next to Thomas!Don't you know which position has always belonged to him!

Nelson was about to pounce on him, but Rich grabbed his neck and sat down behind Clemens and Griezmann.The French captain didn't favor Griezmann because he was from his hometown. All this was actually Vazquez's arrangement: "Boy, the boss said to borrow your Thomas for a while today, so that they can cultivate some tacit understanding." , I will return him to you when I go back."

His Thomas, this description made Nelson feel a little relieved, so he calmed down.

Vazquez, the old coach, seems to have a gentle temper, but he can treat Nelson submissively enough to see the means.

Since you can't grab it, express your dissatisfaction with your eyes.Nelson stared at the back of Griezmann's golden head the entire time.

Griezmann did not feel the resentment of Nelson sitting behind him, but with a focused and studious expression on his face, he took a notebook and drew a simple schematic diagram on it with a pen and said to Clemens : "Thomas, how do you need me to move?"

Griezmann has already seen through that Clemens, who is in charge of assists in the team, did not reject the problem of new teammates. He put his mobile phone in his pocket and directly drew a line on the notebook with his finger.

This line directly cuts off the first three yards of the opponent's penalty area.

Clemens' voice was very calm: "Run within this range, and my ball will find you."

Clemens is very confident in his long pass. After practicing for such a long time, he has already reached the point where he can hit wherever he wants, which can be called a proficiency.For the first time, the handsome Griezmann's eyes lit up as he enjoyed the cake being fed to his mouth. He couldn't restrain his excitement and took a selfie with the male god.

Please, please feed the cake!

This selfie was directly posted on Twitter by Griezmann without any p-pictures. Fortunately, Griezmann and Clemens are among the best handsome boys in La Coruña, and today’s sunshine happened to cause the camera to self-portrait. With a beautiful picture effect, this photo is so eye-catching that people will be drunk.

And after this tweet was reposted by Deportivo's official tweet, many Deportivo fans' favor for the new aid rose in an instant.

As soon as I came, I knew I was looking for it. Hug the thigh of the male god Clemens, young man, look after you, you have a bright future!

And this behavior once again caused Nelson's deep resentment behind him.

Thomas is mine, the photo is mine, it's all mine!Damn boy, let's fight!

But right away, this over-the-top detail caught the attention of the onlookers.

"Is it my illusion... Why do I feel that the male god and the new handsome guy have a resentful gaze staring at the camera all the time..."

'It's not an illusion, I saw it too, and I was really shocked. '

'Wearing a hat and half of his face was blocked by the back of the chair, only his eyes were exposed... Sorry for my poor eyesight, I can't tell who it is. '

'Rich: That's Nelson, he's just trying to get his place back. '

'ls is the captain, isn't it!The captain greatly accepts my confession, you are the most handsome! '

"Just now I said that the newcomer Xiaoxianrou is the most handsome, you are a woman who is not firm..."

Nonsense, obviously the male god is the most handsome! '

'Looking carefully, Nelson's big squirrel's eyes were really aggrieved, and the captain quickly stroked his hair to appease the ex-favorite who had lost the attention of the male god. '

'What is a former pet? '

"It's the old pet~ I deeply feel that the newcomer Griezmann will become the new male partner xd'

And Nelson's resentment did not affect Griezmann's good mood, until he arrived at Racing Santander's home stadium, the Sardines Stadium.

Real Racing Santander used to be a powerhouse in La Liga just like La Coruna, and like La Coruna, it also declined in the later period, and was impacted by the Golden Dollar era and fell to the First Division.However, Deportivo has climbed back to the ranks of the first division, and is now in the upper reaches of the league, but Sporting Tanzand is hovering in the third league.

The economic situation of Racing Santander is very worrying now, so for the arrival of Deportivo, from the club president to the coaches and players here are very happy. For them, it is also precious to be able to play a game with the first division team Experience, their coach thinks more. At present, the team has firmly grasped the leader position in the West C League, and has widened the gap with No.2. Promotion to the West Second Division is already a certainty. Now, and the young men under him were a little bit smug, very impatient.It is also a good thing that a team that is not weak has come to cool them down.

Although it was a friendly match, the strength of the opponent was average, but for the purpose of training, in the first half, Vazquez lined up the same starting lineup as usual, except for Alex who could not play because of the flu, most of the main players The player coefficient came on the field, and Griezmann took the position of left winger, echoing Nelson on the right.At the top is the veteran Richie, who is also the captain of the field.

But what was unexpected was Clemens who was pushed on the bench.

This has been discussed before the game. Alan Subia has not shown up in an official game for a long time. The Deportivo veteran even has the idea of ​​​​transferring, but Vazquez does not want him to leave, even It is suggested that the club can provide some guarantees for the future of the old goalkeeper, such as helping him find a position in the club, which is much better than begging him to stay in the team with a dry mouth.

And in this friendly match, Vazquez also hopes that Alan Subia will find his status. After all, anything can happen on the court. Once Clemens is unable to play, then they still have to put Alan Subia on top.

Clemens rolled himself into a ball after warming up, surrounded himself with a thick down jacket, and put on a woolen hat. He did a good job of keeping warm.

The Sardine Stadium is less than half the size of the Riazor Stadium, and it is usually not full on match days.But today is different. Being able to re-examine the distance between the team and the La Liga team is a big temptation for many fans. The crowd is full, and the football field with more than 1 people is full. When it was released, it also created a lot of momentum.

But different from the usual away games, the fans here are very enthusiastic, not only cheering when the players of Racing Santander play, but also when the players of Deportivo are warming up. The fans applauded.This very "kind" performance of the fans made the more than 2000 Deportivo fans who came with the team feel flattered.

Because they didn't have a good reputation in the past, basically wherever they go as a guest, they will be watched heavily, especially when they went to Atletico Madrid to play an away game last time, the fans on both sides almost fought, and finally the riot police were dispatched to control the situation.This allows the fans of Deportivo to abide by discipline and organize every time they go out, and maintain vigilance against the fans of the home team at all times in case they laugh too arrogantly after winning and cause gang fights.

This is the first time Deportivo fans have seen such a harmonious and friendly home fans. Because the friendly match was not strictly controlled, many Deportivo fans broke into the opponent's interior and chatted with the opponent's fans. By the way, Amway's own home team, many people have concluded Nice friendship.

And among these fans, those female fan teams who followed Clemens also came to the Sardine Stadium in the cold winter, holding a sign with Clemens' name high up, which is a beautiful scenery. .

But when all the starting players lined up on the field, many fans found that Clemens, whom they had been waiting for for a long time, did not come!

Not only the fans of Deportivo, but also many local fans of Santander want to appreciate the demeanor of this player who can often clean up opponents. It is natural to see Clemens on the bench now. Disappointed.

Vazquez wouldn't let Clemens sit there the entire game, would he?

And these emotions will not affect Deportivo's bench, Clemens huddled in the chair, his eyes looked into the clothes from time to time, the inside was shiny, clearly telling everyone that this young player is distracted.

Today is not only the day of the pre-match warm-up match of Deportivo, but also the time when Real Madrid sits at home to usher in the friendly match of the Serie A strong team Roma.Unlike here, the game in the Bernabeu has been going on to the end of the first half. Kaka started, but many players were pushed on the bench by Mourinho. After scoring a goal, Mourinho called Di Maria and Benzema and put them on together.

Clemens did not watch the live broadcast, but refreshed the battle situation. When he saw the faint red rope on Kaka's neck, Mr. Daochang showed a faint smile on his face. People are found by anyone.

"Thomas."

Clemens suddenly heard someone calling himself, he quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket, then looked up and saw Vazquez staring at him with folded hands, pointing to the field, beckoning him to watch the game carefully.

This is Vazquez's requirement for all substitute players. Even if they are sitting on the bench, they must read the game carefully, so as to better understand the tactical intention and play beautiful football.

Only then did Clemens set his sights on the game.

For others, this game is for the purpose of running-in, but for Nelson and Griezmann it is the best opportunity to show their strength.

They are all players who can play wingers and forwards, and they are all good at speed, young and energetic, which can completely enrich the team's style of play.Although Deportivo has weakened the concept of competing for positions or rotations, there is still a vague competition between them.

Clemens now lives like a big white bear, and his demeanor is obviously much more relaxed than those of his teammates, so he can see Vazquez's use of the two and the changes in the frontcourt position.

Without Alex, the midfield metronome, the task of passing the ball and feeding the cake is often handed over to the guest midfielder Pizzi, but more often it is the three frontcourt players who directly press the ball and then shoot. In 10 minutes, Deportivo had scored seven shots, five of which were within the range of the goal frame. If it weren't for the performance of the opposing goalkeeper and the defender's sacrifice to block the eye-catching, the score on the field might be early. It was broken.

On the other hand, Racing Santander's offense is very little, they can hardly advance past halftime, let alone threaten Aranzubia's goal.

In the next game, Santander did not organize several effective attacks, and the game turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill. Today, it seems that the wind is not going well, and it has not meant to break through the opponent's goal.

Alan Subia found that the team's players seemed to like the return pass. Alex's diagnosis pushed back more of the task of organizing the offense. When it comes to sweetness, more is put on Clemens.Only this time, Clemens is sitting on the bench, guarding the gate with a reputation for stability rather than a veteran Alan Subia who has the ideal of going all the way.

The players felt that it was nothing. The delay in opening the game was just a matter of luck. Now that they have plenty of time, they can definitely find a good opportunity to score under the indiscriminate bombardment.

Santander's man-to-man defense is completely unable to allow them to support the entire game. As long as Santander's physical strength declines, then it is Deportivo's opportunity.What's more, it's just a friendly match now, in order to train the tacit understanding between the players. Based on the basic principle of not being injured, many players will not press very hard.

But Vazquez standing frowning on the sidelines has a different idea from the players. In addition to staring at the field, his eyes will look at Clemens who is surrounded by a thick down jacket from time to time. .In order to keep his body warm, Mr. Daochang is now working hard to hide his head in his clothes, so he left a pair of beautiful blue eyes outside, and he was willing to poke his head at Vazquez when he felt Vazquez's gaze. Made a mouth shape.

Do I need to warm up and get ready to play?

Vazquez stretched out his hand and pressed it down to signal Clemens to stay put. It was discussed before the game that Clemens would be allowed to go up and exercise in the second half, but definitely not now.

Looking back at the court, Vazquez stared at his disciples, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Clemens is an easy-to-use goalkeeper, with solid defense and timely forward pressure. Although he has been a guest in the defense recently, his physical fitness and personal ability make Vazquez not worried that Clemens will play. off.All in all, it is definitely the dream of all coaches to get such a goalkeeper in their own team.

But there is no perfect thing in the world, cheap can never let a family take over, Vazquez has a longer-term view than players and fans.

It can be seen from this game that the team has suffered from "Clemens dependence". They will consciously put the first step of the offense to the back, and then press forward as a whole, completely waiting for the precise through pass to create opportunities.Now there are no major changes in all personnel. Only one point of Clemens has been replaced, and the operation of the entire team has begun to become unsmooth.

For the team, this means that they must establish Clemens as the core of the team. Coruña has taken root, it's a collective sport and if Clemens isn't there, don't they play?

So Vazquez wanted to find fault with them, to see how the team played without Clemens, and Vazquez was very dissatisfied with the results.

Why are you all running forward? If you want to eat cakes and make them yourself, you have to wait for others to feed them?

The old coach shouted something loudly on the sidelines, trying to cheer up the team, but in the end it had little effect.Vazquez frowned, and finally seemed to give up, looking at the team that was not running smoothly. Although everyone played well, the newcomer Griezmann showed excellent sense of the ball and excellent physical fitness. Satisfied Vazquez too, but always felt that something was missing.

Until the halftime whistle sounded, the score on the field was still 0:0, and there was no effective offense.

Vazquez shook his head as he walked to the bench. Forget it, dependence is dependence. In the final analysis, didn't he always stand by Clemens because he wanted to get good grades?The reason for trying so hard to keep Clemens with the club was not to put him on the bench.

Now that Clemens has become an indispensable part, let's shape him into the core of the team, and let's talk about this season first!

Owning him can bring victory, so Vazquez will not feel sorry for winning, someone can use it, and don't worry about wasting it!

Clemens didn't know that Vazquez was thinking so much. He had been watching the field intently, observing each player's passing and shooting actions.Vazquez walked up to him and asked, "Tell me, why is it a draw?"

Clemens raised his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "The offense is not smooth, the opponent is pressing too hard, and Alex is not here." He wanted to say that he didn't play so he couldn't start the game, but Mr. Daochang He didn't want to show off like this, so he changed his words, "Maybe the door frame of the Sardine Stadium doesn't like us."

This sentence is not groundless. In the first half, at least four balls hit the goal beam or the goal frame. Each of them is an excellent scoring opportunity. However, the goal frame seems to have the magic power to attract the ball. fly over.

Vazquez couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed Clemens's short blond hair, and then said with a smile: "It's your turn for the second half, don't let me down, Thomas, I need a victory. Your intermission Just stay on the field and warm up when the time comes."

Clemens smiled, then took off his down jacket and stood up, and replied with a smile: "I will try my best, sir."

===

Susan was sitting among the Deportivo fans, holding the No. 99 jersey tightly in both hands, looking at the field with a reddish face.

She has become a Clemens fan since she watched Deportivo's away victory over Atletico Madrid last time. This time, Susan came to Santander to watch the game while the school was on holiday. , She also specially put on the jersey that belongs to Clemens.

Originally, she thought it would be embarrassing for her to wear this jersey, but when she got to the fans, she found that there are many fans wearing the No. 99 jersey, and most of them are female fans like her.They all looked sullen when Clemens huddled on the bench in the first half, muttering to each other why Clemens didn't play?If he doesn't play, how can he take a selfie from the air.

When Clemens stood up and took off his down jacket during the intermission, many people cheered, thinking that this meant that there must be a big substitution in the second half.

In the friendly match, there is no limit to how many people to change and when to change. Many Depor fans are optimistic that Clemens will be able to make an appearance in the second half.

And when the second half of the game was about to start, when Clemens stood on the sidelines and grabbed the collar with his backhand, took off his training uniform and was about to change into the official game jersey, many girls screamed.

Football is such a beautiful sport, isn't it?Look, the body of the male god can be seen at any time!so close!

The flashing lights came and went, and Clemens was not surprised that foreign friends always liked to take pictures of him, but Pizzy rolled his eyes.

"A bunch of women who look at faces." Pizzy muttered to himself.

Richie glanced at him while he was arranging the shin guards, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's be jealous, look at me, my eyes turn red when I'm jealous of Thomas' pretty little face."

Piji snorted, but he was really envious in his heart.

As a player, besides money and honor, what he likes the most is naturally the support of fans, especially female fans. It would be great if I could have a fan club myself.

But this matter can only be thought about. In the current society that looks at faces, Pizzy is not only not very good looking, but also has a bit of a fierce look. Obviously, he will not be more favored by beautiful Spanish girls than Clemens.

===

After the opening of the second half, Clemens seemed a little idle.

The team is still in a aggressive posture. With Clemens, the ball will be given to Clemens more often.But this is a small amount of time after all, most of the time Clemens has nothing to do.

At 51 minutes, the ball brought Clemens again.He raised his head and took a quick look at the frontcourt, and Clemens saw four people raising their hands at the same time.

Nelson, Griezmann, Rich, Pizzi.

Everyone wants to eat bread, so who shall I give it to?

Clemens thought about it for a while, and felt that since this game was a running-in for Griezmann, there would be nothing wrong with passing it to him, so Lakomens adjusted his driving and directly sent a long pass.

On the left side, the new aid Griezmann is rushing forward there!

The French boy ran very fast, and broke into the hinterland of Santander like a sharp knife.The defender wanted to reach out to grab him in desperation, but Griezmann got rid of him directly. He accelerated and ran faster, which made the defender miss him and fell to the ground!

This also made a Santander player who wanted to shovel had to stop his feet, so as not to accidentally injure his own people.

Griezmann, regardless of the chaos behind him, strode into the penalty area and felt that Clemens was right in his car. His passing line was in the line he drew in his notebook. , not bad at all.

After observing left and right, Griezmann has already come up with two defensive players.

He set up his posture, as if he wanted to shoot, and immediately there were defenders ready to block the eye, but unexpectedly, he didn't feel the pain, and the ball didn't fly to the goal at all, but was lightly shot by Griezmann. A defensive player is bypassed with a single pull.

When everyone thought he was going to find a way to pass the No.2 defender, Griezmann actually chose to pass the ball!

He had a shooting angle in the penalty area, but Griezmann chose to pass the ball to a teammate in a better position, which made Vazquez nodded on the sidelines.

And the one who received the ball happened to be Nelson who rushed to flatter him!

Nelson, who has a keen sense of smell as a shooter, naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity, and directly sent the ball into the net with a burst shot!

"Super Laco! Long live Laco! gogogo!"

With the cheers of the fans, Deportivo finally broke the deadlock on the field, and the score was rewritten to 1:0.

Instead of running to Nelson, Griezmann grabbed the big squirrel who was going to celebrate with Clemens, and jumped directly onto Nelson's back.

In the past, it was Nelson who jumped on Clemens, but now that he was the one who was "suppressed", Nelson realized that this is really not an easy job.However, he still stretched out his hand to hold Griezmann behind him, with a smile on his face, showing his white teeth.

After being unable to attack for a long time, and finally scoring a goal, this refreshing feeling is almost beyond everything.

Nelson carried Griezmann to the bottom of the fans' stand in La Coruña. The two seemed to have forgotten the machine forward on the bus, and it seemed that the relationship was pulled in instantly.

Clemens, who initiated the prelude to this attack, simply clenched his fist and raised his head high, but such a simple action made many fans regard his back as their mobile phone wallpaper, and they were reluctant to change it for a long time.

The team took the lead, and Deportivo seemed more relaxed and played very casually. This also made Clemens look a little idle, and had to keep his body warm by jumping in place and running in a small range.

The body is always cold and it is easy to be injured when a sudden situation requires a big action to save. Clemens is trying to keep his body warm, and his range of motion is getting wider and wider.

When the game went on for 75 minutes, many fans found that Clemens had advanced to the center circle arc, with his hands on his hips and his body straight, observing the movement of the frontcourt.

Many fans who were not familiar with Clemens covered their mouths and were very surprised by the performance of this young goalkeeper.

And those Deportivo fans smiled slightly, not worried that Clemens would play off at all. Deportivo's new goalkeeper, who has full running skills and jumping skills, has contracted the entire football field. His defense The scope is almost breaking into the opponent's restricted area.

And Clemens' forward pressure also virtually added an extra player to Deportivo. When Griezmann knocked the ball back, it was Clemens wearing a pure black goalkeeper jersey who caught the ball.

He stopped the ball neatly, and drove the ball into the penalty area with a little cushion. If it wasn't for Rich not competing for the top spot, this would have been a must-goal.

Clemens felt a little pity, and then he quickly ran towards the goal to prevent the opponent's quick counterattack from being completed.

And Griezmann stood there in a daze, motionless.

Rich, who ran to Griezmann, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Griezmann nodded honestly. He is a winger, and the return pass was passed back to the goalkeeper who had already broken into the opponent's half. This feeling is extremely sour.

Rich smiled, and said to Griezmann in French: "It's okay, if you're not used to it now, you can get used to it in the future." If you don't run to participate in the defense, you will leave Griezmann with a thoughtful face.

At the end of the game, the score of the two teams was 0:4, with the home team behind the visiting team.

Nelson took the lead first, and then scored twice in just 3 minutes. Pizzi assisted Griezmann to score the first goal of his transfer to Deportivo. It can be said that everyone is happy.

And after Clemens exchanged jerseys with the Santander players, he saw his mobile phone on the bench light up slightly.

It opened, and it was a text message from Jorge Mendes.

'I have made a schedule with Puma, and I will shoot a print ad tomorrow, Thomas, I will pick you up. '
