Chapter 31 No one is available

During dinner, Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Yang Muge and Guo Nu made it together again.

They don’t care about the way other teammates look at them, and they don’t care about Liang Qiqi’s attitude.

This time, the theme at the dinner table was Guo Nu.

"Zhou Yi, Liang Qiqi targeted you directly last time, and you explained it to him. Why didn't he cause trouble for you today, but you were so tough?" At the dinner table, Sun Pan was very curious about this question.

"That's different. He is asking for trouble for Lao Guo when he has nothing to do. Lao Guo is my friend! He is trying to get his friends with both sides! I am so righteous!" Zhou Yi praised himself again.

"I think you took the opportunity to find fault. But I did a good job, and I think that boy has been upset for a long time." Sun Pan said.

"There are so many people who make you unhappy..." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes. Guo Nu, He Ying, Liang Qiqi, and Sun Pan were all unhappy when they said it.

"No matter what, Lao Guo, you will definitely start in the next game!" He patted Guo Nu's shoulder and said.

"That's hard to say." Sun Pan curled his lips, "What we lack is the central defender, he is not."

Although Sun Pan stood up to support Zhou Yi after the game to seek justice for Guo Nu, this does not mean that he hopes Guo Nu starts and plays as a defender, because it means that his chance of conceding the ball is greater than usual. He is really afraid of Guo Nu.

"But now he is the only one who can play a guest role as a central defender. Two of the six defenders were injured, one was suspended, and the remaining three were all on the court, and one was missing. Those who could defend were Lao Guo and Yang Muge... Yang Muge, can you play as a central defender?" Zhou Yi turned his head and asked Yang Muge.

Yang Muge shook his head: "I'm not suitable to play as a central defender."

"I'm not suitable either..." Guo Nu finally spoke.

"If you want to play in the game, don't say such things, Lao Guo." Zhou Yi waved his hand quickly. "The man Yang Muge is the main midfielder, don't compete with him."

"Can you continue to lose the ball?" Guo Nu asked back. He was in a bad mood, as if he was afraid to appear.

"Hey, I can't say that. I can see clearly below. Your problem is that although you played as a central defender, you are still playing as a midfielder. Too much forward rushing, resulting in losing the position. Of course, the opponent will score from your side." Zhou Yi analyzed for Guo Nu that he had been a substitute for so many games, and it was not just sitting down. He was observing the game. This kind of game is different from a low-level game in the audition finals, and it will not let him fall asleep.

"Also, your moves are too big and it's too easy to give the opponent a free kick with a good position. Isn't that the first goal you lost on the court?"

"So you have to change your mind. Don't always think that you are playing the back midfielder. You have to know that you are playing the central defender. The technical requirements of the central defender are different from those of the back midfielder. But the most important thing is psychology. You are too impulsive. Look at the first time we met, I mistakenly recognized you as an uncle, and you want to hit me. This is wrong. Just correct my name."

Guo Nu blushed, but didn't say anything to refute Zhou Yi. He didn't know if he blushed because of anger or embarrassment.

"Old Guo, I think you care a lot about your appearance, your age, and your stuttering. But in fact, the more you care about these issues, the more others will have a reason to laugh at you. If you don't care about these things yourself, then others will not be able to use this matter to talk about it."

"It's easy to say, Zhou Yi. He has been doing this for many years, how could he change it?" Sun Pan disdained Zhou Yi's statement.

"This is indeed a problem..." Zhou Yi also fell into deep thought, and there was no sound on the dining table for a moment.

Guo Nu lowered his head and sat in the seat. On the one hand, he felt that Zhou Yi was fantastic and knew his own problems. He had been like this for seventeen years. How could he change it just by saying that he could change it? He had never thought about it before, but in the end he failed.

But on the other hand, he hoped that Zhou Yi could come up with some solutions.

Perhaps even Guo Nu himself did not realize that after Zhou Yi stood up for him today, spoke up for justice, and successfully asked Liang Qiqi, who repeatedly provoked him, deep down he had actually developed trust and dependence on Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was able to make the annoying Liang Qiqi apologize to him. Maybe there is a way to solve his own problem?

"Hey, there is it!" Zhou Yi suddenly slapped the table. Guo Nu was shocked and immediately turned his head to look at him.

Sun Pan and Yang Muge also watched it together.

"Old Guo's disease is a chronic disease. If you want to achieve results immediately in a short period of time, you must use special medicine. Although it is not a cure for the symptoms, it is good to treat the symptoms first. So you can get a strong medicine." Zhou Yi said,

"Tell me the point!" Sun Pan said anxiously.

"What kind of strong medicine?" Yang Muge was also very curious.

Although Guo Nu didn't say anything, his eyes already explained everything.

"Old Guo's problem now is that it is difficult to calm down. It is too easy to be impulsive, so let's do some special training in this regard!"

“Special training?”

"Yes, special training!" Zhou Yi nodded solemnly.

After dinner, the director Xu Tao came to the room of the head coach Hao Dong. He wanted to discuss a problem with Hao Dong.

In the match against Bayern Munich, the team lost 0:9 in the end and almost lost ten goals. Seeing that the number of goals conceded was getting fewer and fewer, they did not expect that this game would allow them to return to the pre-liberation overnight.

Now the team is still in a personnel crisis, so he has to have a good chat with Hao Dong.

He wants Guo Nu not to play in the next game.

After hearing his request, Hao Dong had almost no time to consider it, and immediately shook his head and said, "This is impossible. According to our rules, players who were sent off in the game will also be suspended for one game in the next game. This is the rule. How can the rules be changed at will?"

"But you have also seen the performance of that kid. With him on the court, I am worried that we will lose more in the next game against Dortmund..." Xu Tao frowned and said, he knew it would be difficult to convince Hao Dong, but he still had to try it.

"With him or not, we will lose a lot of goals. This is a gap in strength and will not change because of who will not go up." Hao Dong explained. "And even if I don't let him play, who else can play in the central defender position?"

"The one who was suspended..."

"Yang Fei can't do it, he was suspended. This is our rules. We can't change them, otherwise it will be a joke. In football, rules are very important."

"But if we continue to lose like this, we will also be under great pressure. The sponsors are already dissatisfied..."

"I know, Director Xu, you have difficulties. But since you invited me to be the head coach at the beginning, I think I have to be responsible for the team, so I have the final say on the team's affairs. If the sponsors have any pressure, let them find me directly, I will talk to them, and I will convince them." Hao Dong refused to give in on this issue. As he said, he is the team's coach, and he is responsible for the team's affairs. Who can play and who can't play, he doesn't need others to point fingers.

Seeing that Hao Dong's attitude was so tough and determined, Xu Tao couldn't say anything else. If he continued, he was afraid that both sides would break up. In that case, the show would completely die.

He had no choice but to say goodbye.

In order to comfort him, Hao Dong also said that he would make some changes in tactical arrangements so that the scene would not be too ugly.

What else can Xu Tao do?

This is all I can do now.

As soon as he left, assistant coach Xu Yang knocked on the door and came in.

"I just saw Director Xu come out of your room?" he asked as soon as he came in.

Hao Dong nodded: "Well, he came to discuss with me to see if he could not let Guo Nu play in the next game."

"How can this work? It's our coaching team's business to formulate a list of appearances. The crew has no right to interfere!" Xu Yang was excited when he heard that the other party wanted to seize power.

"Yes, so I didn't agree to them." Hao Haidong quickly comforted his assistant coach. "But the problem he mentioned does exist. Guo Nu was originally a midfielder, and he was not in his best condition when he played as a central defender. His personality and style of playing football are not suitable for playing central defender... But who told us that there is no one now?"

"Oh..." Xu Yang also sighed. The team's situation is really bad now. The continuous loss has caused everyone's morale to decline again and again. Coupled with the injury and suspension, it is really worse.

"But the next game still has to be Guo Nu started, now he is the only one who can play central defender. However, we do have to make some targeted arrangements. We can't do anything about the game against Bayern, but we can adjust it for one week. In view of Guo Nu's characteristics, we can let him be more responsible for robbing, let Liu Nian delay the back and make up Guo Nu's position."

"Scavenger?" Xu Yang asked after hearing this.

The scavenger means to drag the back of the central defender, which means to arrange a drag-back behind the central defender, not participate in the offense, and be brand new to defend, and is specifically responsible for handling the balls missed by his teammates in front.

However, the scavenger tactics have long been outdated. Now there is no team playing the scavenger tactics in international football. The last performance of Scavenger's international competition was at the 2004 European Cup in Portugal. The central defender of the Greek national team, Dras, played on the court like a scavenger. With his outstanding performance, the Greek team's defense was very stable. He finally reached the final, defeated the host Portugal, won the European Cup championship, and created the "Greek myth".

But after that, Delas, who played the main player in the Greek national team, did not achieve any good results in the club, and he became more and more marginalized. His tall and heavy figure made him no longer adapt to the development of modern football. It was natural that he was eliminated with the "scavenger".

Hao Dong nodded: "Similar to that."

"Okay, but the problem is that Liu Nian probably doesn't have the experience of fighting the scavenger..."

"Let him overcome it, there is no way, I can only do this. It's better for him to fight the scavenger than to let Guo slaughter?"

"This is..."

"Also." Hao Dong said again. "That Liang Qiqi, don't let him play the next game."

"His performance was really bad before..."

"It's not because he was not good enough to replace him, but because he accused his teammates of his teammates after losing today and provoked internal strife. And more than once," said Hao Dong.

"I understand. But after he comes down, who will let him take the lead? We don't have many substitutes in the midfield..." Xu Yang asked.

"Zhouyi."

"Zhou Yi?" Xu Yang looked up at Hao Dong in surprise.

"Yes, Zhou Yi."

"But he..."

Zhou Yi is the weakest in the team, at least in the opinion of Xu Yang, the assistant coach. After all, he is a student player and has not received professional and systematic football training for 17 years. It is already amazing to be able to stand out from so many auditions in the country. But participating in the competition in Europe... Xu Yang still thinks he is unreliable.

"I know he has many problems, such as physical confrontation, physical fitness... But like Guo Nu, in this position, we have no one except him, and now he is the only substitute in the midfield."
