Football God.

Next, at the front of Leeds United's penalty area, such a conversation took place, which was circulated for a while after being interpreted by lip language experts after the game.

Mertesacker: "Why are you here?"

Schmeichel: "Helping the team."

Mertesacker: "...but you're a goalkeeper."

Schmeichel: "So?"

Mertesacker: "Goalkeepers are supposed to be obedient, aren't they?"

Schmeichel: "No."

... Is it appropriate to be so straightforward?

The German defender looked at the tall goalkeeper beside him speechlessly, and seeing the excited light on the young goalkeeper's face, he suddenly felt that his coach bought him for a reason.

In addition to the reason for the header, did you still see that Schmeichel had a different kind of ambition, so you let yourself come to fill in the hole?

Schmeichel usually stands in the backcourt, whether it is training or team games, and yells at Jack from time to time as a pastime—Jack feels wronged—but I’m afraid this kind of "all the way forward, the world is vast" The factors have long been rooted in the bones.

Didn't Schmeichel put Neuer's photo on the locker door?

Perhaps Premier League fans are not familiar with Neuer, but Mertesacker, who came from Bremen in the Bundesliga, is very clear about the Schalke 04 goalkeeper.

That's a goalkeeper who can't wait to fly into the sky with a wing on his back. His defensive range expands from this goal to the opponent's goal, and the entire stadium is under his contract!Thinking that Schmeichel can treasure Neuer so much, he must also be a fan of the goalkeeper. It is inevitable to imitate idols.

If Schmeichel knew what Mertesacker was thinking, he might have thrown an elbow at his defender.

worship?

Who adores him!

I can't wait to grab that guy and bite him!

If the boss hadn't mentioned to himself how powerful Neuer was every now and then, Schmeichel wouldn't have missed that German until now!

That guy is basically his sworn enemy, his opponent, an incompatible existence.

If one day that person came to Leeds United, what would happen to his own!The boss likes him so much!

But Schmeichel did pay a lot of attention to Neuer, which more or less affected Schmeichel's goalkeeping style.If Schmeichel used to be a goalkeeper who could live in the goal purely relying on the reaction and prediction of the goal line, now Schmeichel has increased the use of a lot of foot skills.

This is not only what he wants, but also what Heinrich has mentioned to him a long time ago, about the construction of Leeds United's defense.

In general clubs, several lines are always very clear. Forwards, midfielders, and goalkeepers, no matter how they change or change their names, they cannot escape the scope of these three lines.

The goalkeeper is often placed behind the defenders to defend the goal.

In Heinrich's words: "The requirements for the goalkeeper are like a wall that can block the goal. It is probably their highest mission to keep the goal."

Schmeichel thought the same way before, at least most of his training programs included this requirement.

But Heinrich probably coached some clubs that value footwork. He carefully observed Barcelona, ​​which won the UEFA Champions League last season, and finally came to a conclusion——

A goalkeeper is not just a wall in front of the goal, he can do so much more.

Many of the theoretical things Heinrich did not explain to Schmeichel too clearly. After all, they are all headaches for the coaching staff. As an executor, Schmeichel only needs to know the conclusion.

The conclusion is that, in addition to yoga classes, Schmeichel also has to follow the club to participate in some training in the team that does not require goalkeepers.

Long pass, short pass, ball control, and the most frightening lob shot to Schmeichel!

The last one was added by Heinrich on a temporary basis, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of his own goalkeeper, which has no defenders.

What he wants to do is to allow Schmeichel to better participate in the defense of the back line and fill the gaps that always appear in the back line. When defending, the goalkeeper is actually the absolute core and absolute priority in the penalty area. , no one can foul him, this is the advantage of the goalkeeper.Schmeichel wants to participate in defensive tasks through this all-round activity.

In addition, Heinrich asked Schmeichel to do a series of training on the cooperation of the return pass, the serving of the set kick and the throwing of the throw-in.

As for the shot, anyway, the long pass is to pass to the front of the player, and the lob shot is to shoot into the goal. Heinrich feels that his goalkeeper does not have such strong muscle strength at present, and the matter of passing directly into the opposite goal is temporarily is not going to happen.

But what Heinrich didn't know was that he underestimated Schmeichel's ambition.

This Mr. Goalkeeper has always been honest and honest. That is because Heinrich will make pre-match arrangements for each game. Each deployment is very detailed, and it is specific to each player.

Schmeichel always looked at his own range of activities, and Heinrich circled him in the penalty area with a very casual circle.

This made Schmeichel dare not speak or move, not because he was afraid of being punished after running out, but because he was afraid that his coach would lose his favor because of his disobedience.

Probably in Leeds United, Heinrich's favorite is the first priority in all their decisions.

But this game is different. My coach said, I can play as I want!

How does Schmeichel want to play?

Of course, how to play with money!

That is to say, after Schmeichel ran out of the penalty area for a full 5 minutes, no one paid attention to this person's wandering, because the Hammers helped West Ham United's penalty area is the real panic!

Probably because the previous three goals came too easily and easily, which made all the frontcourt players green-eyed.

Scoring a goal and assisting one, these are the fundamentals to ensure that they get a small amount of money!

Originally thought that the boss let him play West Ham United just for a test, but now it seems that it is a reward at all!

Who doesn't love a bonus day?no one!

And after Ozil made another assist and Griezmann scored, the score behind by four goals finally made the players of West Ham feel as if they had been poured with cold water.

Yeah, what did their coach say before the game?Let them defend and counterattack!

But look what they've done!

The captain finally took advantage of the kick-off and ran to the sidelines quickly. The first thing he did was to bow his head to Zola and admit his mistake. Zola didn't have time to argue with him, so he quickly made arrangements. After 3 minutes, West Ham United The overall atmosphere has changed.

If it was the kind of arrogant rushing forward before, then now it has started to firmly erect the fence, and several rows of defenders stand firmly, gritting their teeth and struggling to resist Leeds United's attack!

This kind of change made Ronaldo, who was watching the game, involuntarily say: "They have become so fast." After speaking, he realized that this is not his home, probably because he is used to watching Leeds United games alone, but he is not used to it. Everyone is together.

But as soon as the words fell, Sir Alex Ferguson, who was sitting among the players, followed up: "Unfortunately, it's a bit late."

This sentence is also the idea of ​​​​West Ham United coach Zola.

Before the game, he never thought that Leeds United would be so fierce and brutal. He just arranged for the defensive counterattack that was safely arranged. In terms of personnel arrangement, he also focused on the faster forwards and midfielders. Strategy, but before I thought about focusing on counterattack, now I must focus on defense!

But no one expected that such a miraculous effect would be received by West Ham United!

Leeds United's formation is too high, leaving a gap near the midfield. Ozil, who should have been there, has already pressed up. Although Ozil usually does not have defensive tasks, this gap is obviously given to West Ham United. message of hope.

The goalkeeper with a big foot actually passed through the neutral position and sent it directly to their striker's feet!

West Ham striker Sears in this game is a young England teenager. Although the opportunity came suddenly, Sears was not dazzled by the gift from heaven.

He calmly picked the ball, passed Jack in front of him, and rushed all the way towards Leeds United's half!

Diego's pupils shrank slightly, and he just yelled: "Pell, stay and stand firm!" Then he went up to block it by himself!

Mertesacker stood firmly in place, the first thing he did was not to observe the position, but reached out to give Schmeichel a hand: "Casper, you should..."

"Leave me alone and watch the ball!"

Schmeichel's words directly made Mertesacker see that Hills, who was riding alone, broke through Diego's defense and strode towards the goal!

No time to worry about whether his goalkeeper is reliable or not, Mertesacker ran up to prepare to carry Sears with his body!

Being a defender is actually not easy. How to control and consider between defensive success and non-fouling is actually a test for every defensive player.

Mertesacker has a lot of experience in defense. He rarely uses his body to resist players, but in this case he can only make this kind of decision.

With his hands behind his back tightly, Mertesacker strode towards Sears, so as to minimize the effect of his arms, otherwise if Sears shoots and his arms happen to open, even if it is not intentional handball, it may bring Foul or even a penalty kick!

However, there is probably no need to be so meticulous outside the penalty area, but Mertesacker's nerves are too tense, after all, this is his first Premier League game.

But what surprised Mertesacker was that this Hills was obviously not as reckless as expected!

Hills glanced at Mertesacker rationally, and made a conscious pause, as if he wanted to shake Mertesacker like this!

But the German defender was not deceived, he took a step back directly, his tall body was unexpectedly dexterous, and directly backlogged Sears' ball space!

When Hills was about to find another way, suddenly a leg stretched out and scooped the ball under his feet!

This caught Sears by surprise, and fell directly to the ground. Before he got up, he began to raise his arms to signal a foul!

He shoveled me down, and lo and behold, my arm hurts from the fall!

But neither the referee nor the line referee made any indication. The referee raised his hands in front of his face and made a "no" gesture. He could see clearly that the tackler actually tackled the ball first. , and his tackle action did not become the direct cause of Sears' fall, this tackle was clean.

Hills was a little aggrieved. He raised his head to look, but saw an unexpected figure from behind.

This back belongs to Leeds United goalkeeper in black, Kasper Schmeichel!

After making a tackle, he took the ball under his feet and took the ball forward deliberately, but his reason still restrained Schmeichel.

After all, he is not the kind of alien who is open and hanging, the team is leading, and the goalkeeper dribbles the ball across the half. At present, Schmeichel still can't do it...

The big deal is to save it for later, hum!

Thinking in my heart, I raised my eyes to look at the teammates in the front court, and found at least four arms raised in unison!

Schmeichel chose Kaka, who was in the best position, and kicked the ball out with a long pass!

Probably because of too much force, Schmeichel sat back on the ground after passing the ball, and was pulled up by Mertesacker who followed closely.

Schmeichel glanced at Mertesacker and said, "Thank you, Pell." This new teammate is really nice, he can defend, and he can't run around, much better than Jack!That kid Jack is in a mess!

Mertesacker did not expect that his parity in Schmeichel's heart was rising step by step. He seemed to know Schmeichel again, and said: "Your footwork is great."

Schmeichel looked at him with a smile and asked, "How does that compare to Neuer?"

This person really likes Neuer.

Mertesacker looked a bit complicated, but he still said the truth: "Manu is great." He didn't make it clear. After all, one is a teammate of the national team and the other is a teammate of the club, but this sentence has already shown that Mertesacker gram meaning.

Neuer is still better at the moment.

Schmeichel didn't feel that he was hit. On the contrary, he ran to the front of the small penalty area full of fighting spirit, and continued to stroll around, with a bright light in his eyes.

Sooner or later, sooner or later, he will overtake that German kid, just wait and see!

The boss can only have one favorite goalkeeper!

And Heinrich, who was being talked about by Schmeichel, looked at the TV screen in surprise, his body had already left the back of the sofa, and he murmured: "Did I... stimulate Casper so much?"

Given that there is no serious substitute player for Schmeichel in the team, at this time to motivate Schmeichel to move forward, it is necessary to set up an imaginary opponent for him.

Neuer is obviously very suitable. The league is different, and they can't meet each other. In addition, Neuer's ability is strong enough to become a character like his opponent. Heinrich has always done this.

But judging from today's performance, Schmeichel has been working very hard, even a little too hard!

After the game, you must get all the shots of the game, and carefully analyze Schmeichel's running route and defensive range. This not only becomes an important member of the back line, but also makes his defensive style There have been earth-shaking changes!

Why didn't I find it in the game before?

Is it because I don't care enough about Casper...

Thinking about something suspiciously, the phone rang suddenly.

Heinrich looked down and found that it was a rather surprising number.

He glanced at Moritz, and Moritz waved his hand to signal him to go out and answer.

It seems that he was afraid that Heinrich would affect his watching, but in fact Moritz didn't pay attention to the game at all. The reason why he did this was because Moritz could see that his younger brother didn't like his passing He intervened a lot and even knew the specific arrangements for his football career.

This was understandable, and Moritz didn't like to bother Heinrich with business matters.

Heinrich nodded, glanced at the TV screen, picked up his mobile phone and walked into the sun room, and pressed the answer button: "David, what's the matter?"

On the opposite side was the unique voice belonging to Beckham: "Do you have time tomorrow? I would like to ask you out for dinner."

Heinrich was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Beckham is now in AC Milan, and it is true that it is winter break. However, Beckham should be preparing for the 10 World Cup qualification. But this person actually wants to invite himself to dinner.

Beckham seemed afraid that Heinrich might misunderstand, and added: "Personally, I want to talk to you about something."

Heinrich was a little curious after hearing this: "It doesn't involve Manchester United?"

"It's not about Manchester United."

That's good, Heinrich nodded with a smile, and said: "Of course, there is no problem, you can go directly to Madrid, I will take the club to Madrid to prepare for the Europa League match tomorrow, when will you arrive in Madrid tomorrow?" , I will find someone to pick you up."

"No, I..."

"Oh come on david, england and spain are not italy, the journalists here want to glue their eyes to the airport, if they see a strand of your hair they will expose it, i don't want it Make trouble." They said they were going to pick up the plane, but in fact, they wanted to arrange someone to ensure that Beckham would meet him quietly, instead of making a scene in the city.

Beckham obviously also thought of this: "Okay, I will send the message to your mobile phone. I am looking forward to meeting tomorrow, Adrian."

Without saying anything more, they hung up and Heinrich went back to watch the game.

In the first half, the score was locked at 4-0. I thought Leeds United would be more restrained in the second half. Who knew that Leeds United was here for the slaughter!

Although substitutions were also made, they were all counterpoint substitutions, and no changes were made to the formation at all!

At this moment, all West Ham United fans lost all energy to hate...

How much I wished that Heinrich would not come before the game, but now I wish that blond man could be on the sidelines.

At least I can restrain these guys, so that I won't...not...

The fans of West Ham United no longer had the strength to "blow bubbles". They looked at the scoreboard in a daze. When the final whistle sounded, the huge 6-0 was displayed on the big screen!

They felt desperate, but Heinrich knew that maybe it was because the club didn't play hard from behind.

After all, they will face Atletico Madrid in the middle of next week, which is a tough battle.

Moritz is very satisfied with what he sees. As a half-fan, Moritz naturally assumes that his club is very good when he sees a lot of goals.

In any case, Leeds United is the property of the Heinrich family. Moritz, the boss, is naturally happy to see his property perform well.

Heinrich rested his chin on the calculation of the goal bonus. It has to be said that it is a lot of money, ah.

And in the hotel where Manchester United stayed, the Manchester United stars who were held there by Ferguson to watch the game were a little laughing at first, but when the game came to an end, there was no sound.

Ronaldo didn't even dare to send Heinrich a congratulatory message...

In the end, it was Ferguson who broke the silence with a sigh: "Leeds United has grown much faster than we imagined. A terrifying opponent is also a very good opponent, isn't it?"

And Ferguson's eyes became more determined.

It's time to find yourself a successor.

===

A hearty victory brought Leeds United back into the spotlight. Even though the biggest focus of this round of the league was originally the red and blue derby where Liverpool singled out Everton, it did not reduce the headlines of Leeds United.

6-0, this is not a simple score!

If in normal times, Leeds United can control the form of the game and let all the players play their best through Heinrich's deployment, this score seems to be nothing. After all, Leeds United's bloody abuse of Everton is still vivid. At present, West Ham United can't compete with Everton in single-player strength.

However, this Leeds United was said to be broken before the game, and everyone said he was going to be unlucky!

Without a coach, Makelele just stood up and walked around the whole process. Two people were replaced. They were all routine substitutions and nothing new, but the situation on the field was not taken away by the home team West Ham at all!

Those fans who sang "blowing bubbles" never imagined that Leeds United would be so cruel. Their midfielder was not a midfielder at all, and their forwards didn't want to be forwards. The hammer gang was crushed to pieces!

A Leeds United without Heinrich, a Leeds United with a strange offensive lineup, still not blocked, but shouting "White Roses are invincible" all the way forward!

This cognition has silenced many media who clamored that Leeds United must die before the game, especially the reporter who clamored that "Ozil is the worst signing of Leeds United, if not, he will eat the keyboard". A keyboard made of chocolate.

The size of the normal keyboard obviously consumed a lot of chocolate, and the letters that would have been on the keyboard were also drawn with thin syrup, which looked extremely delicate.

And the reporter from the Sun newspaper is also very bachelor, so he decided to go all out and directly opened a live broadcast room, where he performed "eating keyboards" and gained a lot of attention.

"This style is good, I accept it." Heinrich smiled and turned off the live broadcast interface, picked up the black tea on the side and took a sip.

The Leeds United Club did not return to Leeds after leaving London, but flew directly to Madrid, and booked a hotel here early to prepare for the next Europa League knockout match against Atletico Madrid.

Heinrich also went secretly, without disturbing anyone, and waited for the arrival of the players in his hotel.

Mr. Byron, who also took a step ahead and sat aside, was a little strange: "Show good? Boss, this reporter is very arrogant. Fortunately, Mesut doesn't understand English. Otherwise, what should I do if he hit me like this?"

Heinrich didn't care about it: "Playing in the Premier League requires basic psychological quality. Mesut must get used to being scrutinized and criticized. This is a necessary experience for every player." The voice paused, "As for the show of goodwill, the Sun has been consciously competing with The Times from the very beginning. It's not that Leeds United is not pleasing to the eye, but it has won a lot of pages for Leeds United."

It’s not that Heinrich made this statement out of thin air. In fact, the two journalists were arguing on Twitter and forums. From the moment their real names were issued, it was doomed that the two journalists were actually doing propaganda in essence.

Although Heinrich didn't know whether the reporter of the Sun newspaper had good intentions or the mentality of watching the fun, at least from the results, the reporter was open-minded enough and cooperated to complete this small-scale entertainment behavior.

No matter what the cause is, the result is very good, and the fact that the reporter of the Sun newspaper was able to open a live broadcast room to live and eat keyboards proves that they have a good attitude towards Leeds United.

Heinrich took another sip of black tea: "Mr. Byron, we can't expect too much from the journalists in England, but we don't have to demand their loyalty too much. As long as we can say something when needed, Even ambiguity is fine. Friends are better than enemies."

Mr. Byron nodded. In this regard, he obeyed Heinrich's arrangement unconditionally, and he was used to it without any questions.

Heinrich flipped through the newspaper again, and quickly put it aside.

You can't ignore the team's praise, but you can't believe it all. The pens of these uncrowned kings are like knives, waiting to stab people all the time.

Standing up, Heinrich looked down at his still firmly fixed arm, feeling a little helpless: "Is Dr. Braque still unwilling to take it apart for me?"

Mr. Byron also stood up and replied: "Dr. Brack means that it is best to recover as soon as possible. If there is any accident, he doesn't want to see the sharks. Boss, why do you see the sharks? Does Dr. Brack like to go to the aquarium?" "

Heinrich didn't speak, but felt helpless in his heart.

I've said it many times, Moritz doesn't like throwing people into the sea, even if they are thrown into the sea, they usually drown rather than being bitten by sharks.

Even if you are worried, you should be worried about whether you will be dragged to Africa to dig for gold mines. The Heinrich family just bought a few houses there... Well, think about it too far.

At this time, Heinrich's cell phone lighted up, and he stood up after taking a look.

Bertram stood up without saying a word. It seemed that he was about to leave with Heinrich. Mr. Byron hurriedly asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?"

Heinrich smiled, and gestured with his finger in front of his mouth: "I'll go, date."

The author has something to say:

Neuer: I heard, you worship me?

Schmeichel: ...Who said that!

Neuer: The whole world says so...

Schmeichel: Bah, no way!

Neuer: Then you put my picture in the closet...I saw it all

Schmeichel: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
