Moreirense Football Club, head coach's office.
Although it was already late at night, Triguera, his assistants and Deng Kai were still sorting out information.
"The starting center, Anderson, is 22 years old and 1.88 meters tall. He is a perfect model for a big center, but his foot skills are not good and he cannot play a fulcrum role."
"At the same time, his shooting skills are not good enough. He swings too long before shooting and is often sabotaged by others."
"Headers are okay. Three of the four goals scored so far are headers. But except for a few rare opportunities, Moreirens basically has no possibility of crossing, and they have no striker to break through. "
After the assistant finished speaking, Deng Kai nodded and said: "Okay, if you don't have good foot skills, you can use your head and chest to complete the fulcrum role. As for creating murderous intent, I can do it. I just need him to help me keep the football in the frontcourt."
There is no difference in this, because this is not the first time Deng Kai has said this.
The entire team's starting lineup and substitutes are all determined by Deng Kai's playing habits.
However, Mr. Trigla was very supportive and cooperative with Deng Kai.
The assistant has been an assistant coach at Moreirense for so long that he swears he has never seen anything like this.
Was Trigla's child kidnapped by Deng Kai?
"Alex, 22 years old, 1.76 meters tall. It's not written on it, but I know that Alex is the fastest in the team." The assistant coach said, "But due to the team's conservative Tactics, except when counterattacking, he has almost no chance to intervene."
"In addition, his passing is very good. I always think that if he is better trained since childhood, he has the potential to become Beckham!"
"But he was eventually eliminated from the Porto echelon because his defense was too poor, his physical confrontation was not good, and he lost the ball as soon as he touched it."
Deng Kailuo thought about it: "Fast speed, good cross, poor defense and physical fitness. These characteristics can make him play an offensive or even shingled full-back. He only attacks but does not defend."
"It happens that the team's right winger Flavio has good control but lacks speed and has no ability to hit the bottom. Alex can complete the bottom role and form a two-wing trend with Cristiano Ronaldo on the left."
Assistant coach: "Huh? Then defense..."
Deng Kai: "When Alex goes up, Kilop's position moves to the right. His speed is an advantage. Macedo can retreat to form a false center back to protect the center."
"Aren't Cordeiro and Macedo competing for positions? Whoever can better protect the gap left by Kirop's movement will be the team's starting midfielder."
"As an all-around midfielder, Emerson is responsible for cleaning up behind me. In the future, when the team becomes more confident, he can also participate in the attack."
Finally, Deng Kai and Triguera decided on the team's starting lineup.
=
Ronaldo, Anderson, Flavio
Emerson, Macedo, Deng Kai
Serafim, Fonte, Killop, Alex
Ricardo
=
Cordeiro (midfielder), Altino (center back), Orlando (center back), Gomez (goalkeeper) and others are important substitutes for the team.
The team is in a 433 formation, mainly attacking from the wing. The left wing where Ronaldo is located is the strong side and the main attacking path.
In the actual game, Deng Kai's position was closer to the midfielder and very close to the left wing. There was not such a large distance as seen on the formation chart.
This is also due to Deng Kai's improvement in running ability and speed.
Flavio on the right is mainly responsible for receiving the ball. He will be relatively inside and will hit the gap in the ribs when he has the opportunity. Alex is the real attacker on the right wing and is responsible for kicking the ball from the wing.
Alex's crosses have two levels. The bottom cross is mainly to find the center of the goal, which is basically the Anderson area.
If you don't hit the bottom and pass at a 45-degree angle in advance, you can hang back and look for Ronaldo.
The gap created by Alex will be made up for by changes in the backline.
But this basically left the team's original captain and main center back Altino without a position.
The soul of this defense is in Kirop, and his role is irreplaceable.
Goalkeeper Ricardo is more stable and more experienced than substitute goalkeeper Sergio Gomez, so he will definitely start.
But Gomez's attacking ability is stronger and he actually has more potential.
…
In fact, it didn’t take much time for Deng Kai, Ronaldo, and Font to become familiar with Anderson, Alex, Killop, Gomez and others.
They are all young people, chatting about their hobbies.
Trigla's tactics are basically to reuse these young people. As beneficiaries, they naturally have to maintain friendship with Trigla's spokesman Deng Kai and others.
These are very realistic things, and Ronaldo is not exposed to them in the youth training team.
Because the youth training team pays more attention to training, everyone will develop their own strengths under the guidance of the coach.
But professional teams look at results, and it’s normal to sacrifice your personal characteristics for results.
Anderson is not good at his feet, so he definitely hopes that his teammates will give him more passes.
Alex is fast and definitely wants to play offense.
Kirop no longer wants to continue to serve as a substitute for Altino, he wants to be the main player.
Now that their wishes have come true, they naturally have to work hard.
On January 27th, the 16th round of the Portuguese League kicks off.
Moreirense's opponent is Penafiel, who has just escaped from the relegation zone.
This shows that there is still a certain gap in the strength of the two sides.
Before the game, the market was optimistic about Penafiel.
Triguera's arrival did not bring any confidence to Moreirense fans, because he was not followed by Jardel and Quaresma, but by Cristiano Ronaldo and Deng Kai.
Fonte: I’m going to say it again, I’m coming too! Can you please stop ignoring me?
As Deng Kai and Ronaldo's first professional game, the two of them, oh no, and Fonte, all three were very excited.
But soon, Ronaldo's interest in professional football diminished a lot.
Thirteenth minute.
Ronaldo tried to break through the opponent after receiving a pass from Deng Kai on the left. After shaking several times in succession, he started to pedal his bicycle.
He felt that the other person was about to be shaken away by him.
He has even thought about his next step after shaking the other person away.
boom!
The opponent used a somewhat dangerous tackle to destroy the football at Ronaldo's feet, and also brought Ronaldo to the ground.
The key is that the opponent has not committed a foul yet.
Ronaldo was very dissatisfied on the ground. He believed that although the opponent touched the football first, it was a dangerous move and he should be given a card.
However, the referee ignored Ronaldo.
In professional football, more depends on the results.
What's more, the referee even thought that Ronaldo was too fragile. He had a chance not to fall to the ground after being kicked. Ronaldo's collapse looked like a performance.
This is the problem of the different scales of the professional arena and the youth training schedule.
Ronaldo feels he has been treated unfairly.
Little did he know that the other party was also looking at Ronaldo fiercely, and kept cursing in his heart... You show off!
