Chapter 021 Regaining confidence and starting a desperate counterattack

Not long after Li Ruolan left the stands, she was escorted to a large hospital closest to the stadium, and the two women in the stands and some of their entourage also followed her. Although they had made such a plan several times before,

When the incident actually happened, I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Fortunately, the beds in that hospital had already been reserved by them, and all the corresponding medical equipment and medical staff were also the best.

After arriving at the hospital, Li Ruolan was quickly sent to the delivery room under the control of a group of professional medical staff. After completing the final examination as quickly as possible, it was confirmed that Li Ruolan was in good physical condition, and it was also recommended that she could give birth naturally, and she was in

Li Ruolan, who was in labor pains, agreed immediately after hearing the diagnosis result.

On the other side of the conversation, when the Atlanta players returned to the lounge, they originally expected to be greeted by Gasperini's thunderous anger, but found that the coach at this time was actually more silent than them, so the atmosphere in the room became tense.

Time fell into an eerie silence.

It wasn't until about a minute or two later that Gasperini slowly raised his head. Looking at the frustrated faces of the players around him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment. Then he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"What's wrong with you? You all seem to be bowing your heads in silence. People who don't know would think we are holding some kind of memorial service here!"

Gasperini would say such ironic words, which surprised the team members. Ordinary people would have been conflicted after hearing such words, but now it has had an effect.

Some unexpected effects at least eased everyone's extremely bad mood.

Seeing this situation, Gasperini knew that something was going on, but it still took some time for the players to completely come out of the negative emotions, so he pursued the victory and said: "I believe no one would have thought of the final outcome after the first half before the game.

The result will be like this, but it is not entirely your fault, and you did try your best in the first half. If not, the situation may only be worse now. But Gomez, you

I do have to bear some responsibility for today's provocative action. Although I don't mean to blame you, I also ask you to pay attention in the future. Of course, when it is time to fight back, you must also be tough and never let it go.

People have been bullied. It is not our style not to fight back when we are beaten, even if we pay some price for it."

After a slight pause, he found that the players were thoughtful, and Gasperini continued: "It may be difficult for us to come back from this situation, but there is still half a game left.

, it would be too early to admit defeat like this! So I hope you can continue to cheer up after the start of the second half, don’t think about the promises you made before the game, don’t think about the current score, and put down all the psychological baggage.

Just go and play the second half of the game, what if there really is a miracle! Of course, as long as everyone tries their best, then even if we still lose in the end, it will be an honor to lose.

When it comes to strategy and tactics, due to our current passive situation, all the tactical routines we originally formulated have to be completely abandoned, and now we must also develop a new set of practical play methods.

As for what new style of play to adopt, I already have some ideas in my mind. Generally speaking, it is based on our current situation of serious shortage of manpower and falling behind in the score. It is meaningless to engage in positional warfare, so what I mean is

Simply give up the midfield position and switch to a long pass and lob play that directly connects the two ends. Except for the goalkeeper, the distribution plan for the remaining eight players on the field is five in the backcourt and three in the frontcourt.

However, we haven’t thought about the details yet, so why don’t we all discuss it together while we still have some time to see who can come up with better suggestions?”

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire lounge was already very lively. After hearing Gasperini's question, everyone began to actively start thinking. Although most of the ideas that the team members could come up with in a short period of time were not very good.

It's reliable, but it still provides the coach with some ideas for reference.

"Richard, I know you have tried your best today, how are you now?" When Gasperini's eyes finally fell on Li Zhao, he found that he seemed to be still immersed in some emotion and unable to leave.

He came out, and the cell phone still held tightly in his hand also showed his anxiety at the moment.

Li Zhao had already made several calls before this, but unfortunately he received no response. If there wasn't a game to be played at this time, he would have rushed over as quickly as possible and then waited by Li Ruolan's side.

Naturally, Gasperini had already known that the person carried away from the stands by the group of doctors and nurses was Li Ruolan, so he also understood what this incident meant to Li Zhao, and the reason why he remained silent after returning to the lounge

Part of the reason for taking such a long time is that he was thinking about how to deal with this problem. From a human ethics point of view, he should let Li Zhao leave at this moment, but if he really did this, then they would probably lose this game.

He really had completely lost hope, but after some comprehensive weighing, he still had to make up his mind to change.

But just as he was about to continue speaking, Li Zhao slowly raised his head and met Gasperini's eyes, as if he already understood what the other person was thinking, and then said: "Coach,

I don’t object to the arrangements you are going to make next, but I still ask you to wait a little longer, anyway, there are only the last few minutes left.”

"Okay! Your wife's sudden situation was something we didn't expect, and we can't blame anyone. It must be difficult for you to settle down and play football before you get further information. I can completely understand this, so you don't have to be too nervous."

It's more than forced." Gasperini's words were more of a comforting nature, and he didn't say whether he agreed or not, but the meaning was already very clear.

At this moment, Li Zhao suddenly felt the phone he was holding vibrate, and he immediately understood that there was a new message. When he clicked on it, he found that it was from Dolsa. The content is as follows:

"Brother is really anxious! Don't worry, Sister Lan is in a very stable condition now. There are several of us sisters here in the hospital watching you. Just put your heart back in your stomach and just play football well."

If everything goes well, maybe our game will end earlier than yours, so you have to work harder, we are still waiting to hear the good news about the team's victory!"

The message sent back by this text message was very important. It not only effectively calmed Li Zhao's increasingly restless mood, but also strengthened his determination to go all out to play the game well.

"Thank you, then we will make an agreement!"

Although Li Zhao's reply was brief, it revealed his renewed confidence. Now that he has put down his burdens, he has completely lost his initial scruples.

Furthermore, although Juventus did not suffer any attrition, the number of yellow cards they received was not many at all. Moreover, in order to balance the situation on the field, the referee is likely to take more care of the home team in the second half. I want to understand the relationship.

Li Zhao didn't care so much about the yellow card. Although this was a big gamble, he had to give it a try.

After replying to this text message, Li Zhao immediately responded to the coach: "Coach, you don't need to make substitutions. Let us have a counterattack in the second half that completely overturns the opponent!"

"Ah, are you sure you're completely fine?" When he heard this heart-wrenching reply, Gasperini seemed to feel that things might take a turn for the worse, but he still had some doubts.

"Coach, are you questioning my determination?" Li Zhao did not answer him directly, but expressed his attitude in a rhetorical question.

"Well, it seems that I have been worrying too much. It's really good to have you on the court. This makes me more confident in the arrangements for the second half." After confirming the firm look in Li Zhao's eyes, he added

Sperini knew that the God of War who could gallop on the field without fear of any opponent was back again, and then nodded with great satisfaction.

But just when Gasperini was about to announce the new formation, Li Zhao suddenly spoke: "Coach, didn't you ask the players to talk about their opinions on your new tactics before, but it seems that I haven't.

You said it!

As for the long pass tactic you developed, I generally agree with it, but I still have some different opinions on the arrangement of some personnel. With only nine people left on the field, I think we can only arrange it in the backcourt.

Five people are still too few. At least six people must form a zone defense to make our defense truly effective, and it is not advisable to completely abandon the midfield..."

Gasperini couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this. Obviously he didn't agree with his suggestion, and then interrupted: "If you still have to take care of the midfield, then there will only be a single arrow left in the frontcourt.

Without effective support, if they are deliberately targeted, even the best forward players will hardly be able to pose any threat. And if we only have defense and no offense, how can we achieve a comeback?"

"Coach, you may have misunderstood."

Looking at Gasperini's confused look, Li Zhao continued: "What I mean is that in order to form an effective containment and counterattack, the configuration of the lowest two people on the front line is essential. In addition, among the six defenders

The added person is the most critical part. In fact, it should be more accurate to say that he is a deep-lying central defender. While taking into account defense, he must also deliver cannonballs to the front, and even participate in the front attack when needed.

Go in."

"In this way, the person at this position will definitely become the focus of the opponent's attention, and the pressure he will bear will also increase exponentially. In detail, the only two people in our team who can shoulder this important task are you and Ilicic.

You are a human being, and the most suitable person is you, but it consumes a lot of physical energy. I wonder if you can hold on when the time comes?" Gasperini understood Li Zhao's words.

After making up his mind, he quickly entered the role and asked the most critical questions.

"Don't worry, coach, I have never fallen behind in terms of physical fitness. Besides, I am not necessarily responsible for this role from beginning to end. If necessary, I can swap with Ilicic." Li Zhaopai

He held his chest and made the final guarantee.

Shortly after they made the decision, the second half of the game began again. After making necessary substitutions, Atlanta's lineup now became goalkeeper: Berisha; backcourt: Palomino

, Caldara, Hatboer, Freuler, Cristante; Deep-lying central defender: Li Zhao; Forwards: Ilicic, Zapata.

When the home team players passed by the knight's sword armor standing beside the players' tunnel, they suddenly felt that their energy and energy had improved slightly in an instant. Li Zhao, who knew about this, naturally knew that this was the knight's sword.

A played a role, but he didn't understand why they didn't feel it so clearly when they passed by the same thing in the first half.

Li Zhao, who didn't understand the key, stopped caring about the problem for the time being and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the game. At the same time, he also felt that everyone's desire to fight was back, and he was ready to fight back.

In contrast, the Juventus players began to become lax after taking the field in the second half, and had no intention of increasing their offensive intensity. The passes between them also seemed a bit careless, as if their team already had a chance to win.

It was average, but it also paved the way for a series of mistakes they made later.

Seeing that the opponent had shrunk its defense, Atlanta also adjusted its strategy again in time. In addition to retaining the necessary defenders, the rest began to participate in the counterattack.
