Chapter 70: Tuning Muriqi (1)

Gigg Lane welcomed Luton in a friendly match, but the fans collectively fell silent during the friendly match. This was the first time for Burley!

"I swear, this is not the Burley we are familiar with, and the single arrow at the front is not the Muric we are familiar with." Kewell felt helpless when he said this, but he still wanted to say: "

Compared with last season, Burley's current counterattack will control the ball more at his feet, but in this way Muric's characteristics cannot be brought out at all. Our little Panther should wait for the long pass from the backcourt, and then

Relying on his astute anti-offside and throwing away the defender, he defeated the opponent's defender with speed at the moment! Now that Burley controlled the ball on the ground, he gave the opponent's defender time to prepare. The interference of the opponent's defender made Muric lose his speed advantage.

This style of play is simply not suitable for the little Black Panther."

"Hey, No. 4 from Luton, if you can, turn around and let me see your name! Damn it, why don't you hug Muric and take off his pants? Are you in love with our Brazilian boy?

!" Kewell was very angry. The opponent had no choice but to imprison Muric like an octopus. Every time Muric wanted to speed up, he would be pulled by the opponent's defender. Sometimes, Muric would be hugged directly.

Richard also discovered this. The referee standards of English League One teams are larger than those of English League C teams. Of course, this refers to the standards of both sides. In addition, Luton players are also very smart. They usually choose to seriously interfere when the referee's back is turned.

When the referee turns around and immediately lets go, just such a moment of interference can make Burley's counterattack come to nothing. This trick is very useful for Muric who relies on speed to destroy the opponent's defense. As long as Muric speeds up

If you lose your body balance, what's the point of scoring goals if you lose your body balance?

During the observation, Richard found that the tactics he set for Burley cannot be judged as failures. At least the team controlled the ball at their feet and increased the success rate of counterattacks. From the opening to the present, Burley has created in just 20 minutes.

Three effective counterattack opportunities! As for shortcomings, I can only say that the changed tactics are not suitable for Muric. This is probably the only shortcoming.

Each of these three counterattacks was very sharp, and each time there was a chance to tear Luton into pieces. Unfortunately, they failed each time.

In the first 4 minutes, Luton bullied Burley and the newly promoted team began to press hard. As a result, Diarra overturned the opponent's forward in the midfield in a very threatening manner, stole the ball and passed it to Redondo. This is a miracle in itself.

A foul, but the referee did not call it. Redondo sent the ball to the wing. After receiving the ball, Nasri moved from the wing to the center. He was very fast. When he attracted the opponent's defensive player, he cleverly sent a straight shot.

Sai. However, Muric failed to keep up. It was not that Muric made a mistake in cooperating with his teammates, but that Luton's defensive player pulled him very covertly. Muric, who was concentrating on speeding up, did not have the balance of Ashley.

I stumbled a few steps on the lawn and almost didn't fall. When I stabilized my body, I tried to chase the ball, but the ball was already at the feet of the Luton players.

In the first 10 minutes, Burley took advantage of the throw-in and passed it according to the previously divided area. The football was running on the court at high speed, just like a billiard ball that was hit hard and rolled rapidly through impact.

These high-speed rollings are to create opportunities. Redondo, who is good at creating opportunities, suddenly returned the ball to Gascoigne's feet when he was holding the ball to the side. Gazza completely understood Fernando's intention and kicked back hard!

With the cooperation of Redondo and Gazza, the ball quickly crossed the opponent's direction, but Muric was hit by someone at high speed again. Being hit by someone chasing the ball at high speed would definitely cause him to lose his balance. In the end, Muric just had to

He could grit his teeth and fall down on the lawn.

Richard found that Muric was one of the people least adaptable to this tactic. Muric's speed has always been Burley's goal-scoring weapon, but after entering the larger league of English League One, as long as the opponent's defensive players have time to react

, then these defensive players can use small movements and physical contact to prevent fast players from performing.

Fortunately, Muric finally succeeded once. During the counterattack on the ground pass, Muric shook off the entanglement of the opponent's defender and went all the way to the penalty area. Maybe he was too excited. When facing the goalkeeper alone, he actually

Missing the ball... Generally speaking, Muric's abnormal performance cannot be completely blamed on him. In the past, Muric's task was to counter offside goals. With his speed, no one in England C could catch up after he countered offside goals.

, not to mention interference. But this time, the defensive players in English League One can pass the ball to observe the time when Muric is preparing to counter offside, which naturally makes it twice as difficult.

Richard replaced Muric with Di Natale. He saw Muric's disappointed expression, but he could only pat him on the back gently and say: "Have a good rest."

In fact, Richard is very optimistic about Muric's future. He believes that Muric has the ability to become Burley's star player in the Premier League. However, Muric's half season in the English League Three has allowed him to adapt to low-intensity games.

, the team was upgraded to League One and began to be unable to perform when facing more powerful opponents. This is normal.

Di Natale's appearance immediately brought about a change for Burley. Di Natale, who also played in the lower leagues before, is not afraid of England's dirty defense at all. In fact, Italy's defense is definitely not very clean.

To survive in such an environment, there is no such thing as adaptation or discomfort.

Coupled with the fact that Di Natale is not slow, has a keen sense of smell, and is especially good at making trouble on the penalty area line and rushing into the penalty area to make waves, Luton's defense immediately ran into trouble.

Di Natale is the kind of player who not only needs support from his teammates, but can also support them. This can be seen from the number of appearances and goals he scored in Italy.

Di Natale scored 6, 9, 16, 13, and 5 goals in 5 seasons at Empoli, and played 25, 35, 38, 27, and 33 times respectively. If the historical process is followed, the transfer

Di Natale did not break out instantly when he arrived at Udinese. He only scored 7 or 8 goals in 33 and 35 appearances in the first two seasons. These goals are completely for mid-lower forwards in Serie A.

rate. Then Udinese purchased a large number of powerful players, which allowed Di Natale, Iaquinta, Di Michele, and Alex Sanchez to form a frightening striker. In the following several

In the season, he scored 11, 17, 12, 29, 28, 23, and 23 goals, and continued to be the top scorer in Italy and won the honor of Italian Footballer.

It can be seen that Di Natale is not a player who can solve a game by himself. He needs the assistance of his teammates. It just so happens that there is a group of talented players in Burley!

Now 24 years old, Di Natale has finally waited for the opportunity to prove himself in front of the head coach. He came to Burley for the UEFA Cup. If he can't even play as the main force of the team, what's the point of talking about the UEFA Cup?

Therefore, Di Natale was very active after his debut. He first created a chance for Ashley Young in a counterattack but was missed by Ashley. Then he received a pass from Sri and entered the penalty area and hit the ball on the goal frame.

.

His performance immediately changed Burley's offensive power. Di Natale, who is accustomed to creating opportunities for his teammates and enabling them to create opportunities, made Richard's tactics complete in the key link of the forward line.

"This is Burley, this is our Burley. This is why the old Kewell and Richard colluded to keep Nasri in vain. I love Burley like this!" Old Kewell said on the commentary table

Shouting loudly, the fans also shouted loudly as Burley counterattacked wave after wave.

Muric paid close attention to the situation on the court, watching Di Natale control the ball freely despite the interference of the opponent's defensive players... He ensured that Di Natale was not as fast as him and not as powerful as him! But it was better than

In controlling the ball under interference and shooting under interference, he will definitely not be able to match Di Natale.

"It's an Italian again. He received Gascoigne's pass and rushed towards the enemy's hinterland. There were Nasri and Ashley in front of him, three on four!"

Another counterattack, Di Natale dribbled the ball forward in the gap between the two central defenders. On both sides of him were Ashley Young and Nasri sandwiched between the central defender and the full-back.

This is a very threatening 3 versus 4, as long as you master the rhythm well, you can completely devour the opponent.

"Di Natale, he passed the ball!"

Just as the old Kewell shouted, Di Natale passed the ball diagonally along the gap in the penalty area, and then advanced forward alone.

Nasri was instantly caught in a double-team between two people. At this moment, he could shoot, but the shooting angle was slightly smaller!

"Nasri is not greedy for merit, ONETWO!"

Gently pushing the ball forward, Nasri collided with the defender, but the football rolled very slowly towards the goal post. At this moment, a man wearing a white shirt and blue shorts rushed towards him.

Come here, he is Di Natale!

"Shoot!"

Di Natale dared to swing his thigh and shoot hard from a small angle, which shows that he has absolute confidence in his footwork.

bump!

bump!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Old Kewell roared excitedly, grabbing the microphone and shaking his fat body on the commentary table

He stood up and said: "The Italians opened the scoring for us. We opened the scoring before Luton. This shot hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net. I enjoyed a violent shot like Rooney!"

Violent shots are always the ones that most stir up fans' emotions. When Di Natale's shot was different from George Clegg's and Muric's, Burley fans turned up their volume to the maximum, and the entire Giger team

Cheers like landslides and earth shattering came from the alley, and they used their hoarse voices to welcome Burley's new killer.

After the first half, Di Natale once again showed in the second half that he can perfectly integrate the team's style. He scored twice with one pass and one shot, and at the same time helped Gascoigne score a very beautiful goal.

Curving ball, this made the whole Burley remember the new 24-year-old boy, Di Natale, who wears the No. 29 jersey.



After the game, Richard celebrated Burley's first win of the new season in Burley's best hotel. However, after the banquet, Muric found Richard.

"Boss, please help me, just like you helped Ashley and Diarra. I don't want to be entangled by the opponent's defenders, and I don't want to lose my main position. I want to appear in the main lineup of Burley European Cup... Boss,

You help me, let me get rid of those little moves frequently, damn defenders!"

This is the first time that a player has taken the initiative to ask for help. Richard glanced at Muric with great relief and said: "Don't worry, Burley's little black panther, I will let you mature. But the way I help people is

It’s very special. Ashley got to where he is today because of the horrible things I scolded him for. Diarra almost lost his life. You..."

"As long as I can regain my main position, I'm not afraid of death!"

Richard smiled: "Muriqi, who said you have lost your main position? In addition, your situation is different, you will not die, but are you afraid of being beaten?"

Being beaten?
