Volume 1: Gamers in Portugal Chapter 38: The Resourceful Armando

The players are naturally willing to listen to Simon King's request.

What's more, the current team atmosphere is very good, and the players have also developed the good habit of asking questions when they don't understand and speaking freely.

Just listen to Julio ask: "Then if the opponent's forward also runs to the side without the ball, what should we do?"

Simon King: "Good question, if this is the case, I want the full-back in the midfielder position to run towards our penalty spot as soon as they take the ball, and our frontcourt players also need to

Quickly return to defense and enter the penalty area."

Bonatti nodded and said: "In this case, even if they create an opportunity to counterattack, at least we still have time to reorganize our formation."

Shao Mu said: "Sir, I have a suggestion."

"Say it quickly." Simon King nodded.

"When we are surrounding from the front, can we ask the defenders to keep an eye on the winger on the other side of them?"

Many players nodded in agreement with Shao Mu's proposal.

But Simon King shook his head and said: "This is a good idea, but there is a problem."

Speaking of this, he looked helplessly at the two central defenders and said: "For Anderson and Wilson, speed is not their strong point. What's more, when facing counterattacks, their role is more to restrict, by controlling the opponent.

Buy you time to recover."

Shao Mu nodded, knowing in his heart that once he defends himself closely, he is very likely to be defeated.

So, after another simple exchange, the second half of the game was about to begin.



But it was said that while Vesena was discussing countermeasures, the Aroka team on the other side, led by coach Armando, was also discussing their strategy for the second half.

He was also standing in front of the tactical blackboard, but Armando's expression was much more serious than Simon King's.

He knocked on the blackboard, his tone was a little slow, as if he was still thinking.

"Listen kids, what happened in the first half was not your fault."

"But you have to admit that the performance of this Vesena team is completely beyond their level."

"In other words, compared to the last confrontation, the current Vesena is simply a different team."

Captain Taylor nodded and said: "Yes, coach, their playing style is very aggressive, but it is obviously specially trained and it caused us a lot of trouble."

Wellington, who scored one goal, said: "To be honest, from the foul ball to the dozens of minutes when I scored, I really felt like I was suffocating. No one had ever put so much pressure on me."

Armando clapped his hands and said: "The fact that you have such awareness means that we can win this game. Although I know the outcome of this game, it actually doesn't mean much to us. But you have to remember,

This is home court! There are 5,000 fans in the stands."

Several people shouted at the same time: "Don't worry, coach, we won't let the fans down."

"very good!"

Armando nodded again, turned to the tactical blackboard and said: "The game plan for the second half may be different from what you think."

"Because the enemy's blockade is too severe, I'm going to set up a bus!"

"Set up the bus? No, coach, we are Aroka, we are at home, and they are a weak team, they are Vesena!"

Upon hearing the order to set up the bus, the Aroka team made a noise, and several main players, including the captain, made dissatisfied sounds.

Armando remained unmoved, a flash of coldness flashed across his cloudy eyes.

"Don't make any noise, listen to me."

"You think I don't want to win? No! To tell you the truth, I want to win more than any of you. As for the reason, I don't want to say it now."

"But the problem is, based on our current preparations, if we stick to our current style of play, we can't win, and we will definitely lose."

"Don't think I'm being alarmist. In fact, Simon King's style of play is very advanced. I can even assert that once his tactics are fully formed... no one in Portugal will be his opponent. . ”

The players were shocked!

They have been with head coach Armando for a long time, but they have never heard of anyone who this wise man has served under.

And now, he actually gave such a high evaluation to a person who plays games, and even made a judgment that he will definitely lose.

"Coach, are you serious?"

Captain Taylor opened his mouth wide, as if he had heard an impossible story.

"Taylors, how many years have we been working together? Do you think I'm joking?"

"No, sir."

"Okay, while I still have some time, let me tell you the specific tactics. Fortunately, we have also practiced the tactics of placing the bus, so I believe you will not be too unfamiliar with it."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The players of Aroka re-entered the arena with uneasiness, tension, anger and dissatisfaction.

But no one noticed that the moment the players came on the field, Armando quietly pulled left back Quares to his side.

"Quaresma, your discipline is the highest. Listen to me carefully. When you return to the court later, if you get the ball, I want you to make more diagonal passes."

"I know, coach, didn't you just say that?" Quaresma didn't understand what the coach meant.

"But you have to pay attention, once you see me extending two index fingers to you, you should not pass the ball to the right winger, but pass the ball to the right midfielder Arsenio."

"Ah? But...but he is in the midfield. If you want to pass it to him, the ball will be easily intercepted!"

"Just break it! It doesn't matter! What we fight for is the success rate! As long as there is a chance of success, we can score goals. I have already told him about other things, you just need to do as I say."

"Okay coach, I listen to you."

As the referee's whistle blows, the game restarts.

As the kicker, Vesena continued to press Arouca.

And their unique way of running really made Aroka a little exhausted.

Even the commentators on the sidelines were amazed by this phenomenon.

"Although I am an absolute Aroka native, Vishena's tactics really stood out to me."

Another person also said: "That's true. No matter who gets the ball, there will always be at least two open players around him. It's really weird."

"Yeah. I seem to have never seen such a style of play."

"Who says it's not the case! But let's not worry too much. After all, we are Aroka, and our strength is far superior to each other. And... and... uh... we seem to be setting up a bus."

"Although setting up the bus is a defensive tactic, I believe... our counterattack will definitely be successful."

In fact, the conversation between the two was just to divert the fans' attention.
