Chapter 21 Lore (Part 1)

Jace shook hands with Eugen Pope dejectedly and then walked towards the player corridor. Although there was an assist, the team faced a bad situation in the second half was inseparable from his poor control in the midfield. Done walked over and stopped him.

"You've done a good job, Ian. Don't worry, go take a shower and come back to see the ball. We'll win."

Perhaps a little unbelievable to the coach's last words, Jace looked up at Donn.

The young head coach grinned and said, "Do you want to make a bet, Ian?"

※※※

"It's incredible! When the Forests led two goals, everyone thought Wimbledon was finished, but look at it now... In the first half, the Forests scored two goals in four minutes to establish a lead. It was Wimbledon's turn to explode in the second half. They also scored two goals in four minutes, setting the score to a draw!" Motson thought about this question while explaining: Is it necessary to be so dramatic as long as Tony Donn's game? Something will always happen, making people look forward to it.

"After conceding two goals, Donn made a substitution adjustment. He replaced veteran Ian Jace with German young player Eugen Pope. But I bet that his substitution is for the situation where the opponent scored a goal. Wimbledon's second goal came too quickly, and no one expected it!"

Yes, no one expected it, even their own coach, Mr. Murdoch, so his celebration was not as crazy as the first goal. He only hugged his assistant coach and then stood on the sidelines to applaud the players.

Tang En glanced at the other party and found that he didn't like him no matter how he looked at him. If he was really tied by his opponent, he wanted to stop attending the post-match press conference. He didn't want to see the old face that was complacent. If that old guy said some smug words at the press conference, such as "We deserve to win" and "It's a pity that we didn't score all three points", Tang En couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't stuff the microphone into the other party's mouth in front of the media.

Anyway, he was very unhappy! Fortunately, the performance of the German boy after he came on the court made him feel a little better.

Eugen Pope quickly completed his first tackle after he came on the court. He tackled Leo Coke's ball beautifully in the middle and then distributed it to Williams on the wing. Although the ball was quickly lost, the young man's performance was applause from the fans in the stands. Done also gave him a thumbs up on the sidelines.

Pope's performance became more and more active after being recognized by the fans and head coach. Then the fans and commentators saw such scenes-

Wimbledon used his team's fierce tackle to gain possession, but was quickly cut off by Eugen Pope. Pope, who was not good at organizing, chose to pass the ball to Andy Reed or Gareth Williams, but the ball immediately changed hands under Wimbledon's press. Wimbledon decided to enter the 30-meter area of ​​the Forest, and took advantage of the momentum of equalizing the score and continued to work hard to turn the defeat into victory. But as soon as the ball entered the midfield, he was cut off by Pope and Smeka again...

Often within two minutes, possession of the ball can change hands three or four times back and forth between these two teams.

If he can't stop the ball, Pope will try every means to foul the opponent's offensive speed and interrupt the offensive rhythm. He has just started playing without physical strength, and he feels much better than those Wimbledon players who pressed for half the game.

The result was that the Forests' offensive could not be fought, and Wimbledon's offense repeatedly hit a wall. Both sides were trapped in the quagmire of mistakes in the midfield.

But Tang En was very happy about this situation. He said to Walker: "We successfully held the opponent. That boy Pope did a good job. Maybe I want to consider giving him a proper chance of playing."

Walker agreed with Donne's second half, but was not optimistic about the situation on the team. "Pope performed very well last season. But I think even if we can't let Wimbledon attack, we can't beat it ourselves. Are you suddenly satisfied with the draw, Tony?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied with the draw, but I have to give the team a buffer time..." Tang En was unsure. The price of strengthening midfield defense was to weaken offensive organizational skills. Ian Jace was not good at defense, and the passing and experience were still very impressed by Don En. Now it seems that he can only rely on Andy Reed?

Don En suddenly thought of something, and he asked Walker how long it was before the game ended.

"It's not considered injury stoppage time, seventeen minutes."

"It's still time. Des, go and call Cash back."

The balance of the situation that Pope has worked hard can't be wasted in vain. As the head coach, Tang En must make timely adjustments, otherwise he will be a sinner if the team cannot win the ball.

The 20-year-old Irish forward Brian Cash can play in both sides of the midfield. His ability to pass and shoot is not worthy of praise. As a wing player, his crossing is too average. This is the conclusion that Don En dribble from training. However, one thing he appreciates is that he has excellent dribbling skills. Kash is not a player who breaks through speed. His breakthroughs are all practical and practical than the opponent.

Because basically the four main players in the midfield have been confirmed, Cash, like Pope, can only accept the arrangement of being a substitute. Such players may not be able to play in every game, but there will definitely be several games that are most suitable for their performance. For example, this game.

Eugen Pope's appearance proved that Don't have a correct idea. Now that he has stabilized his defense, he is about to start fighting back.

Cash returned to the coaching seat, and Don told him that after playing, he only needs to do one thing: "Breakthrough, break through, break through again. Don't be afraid of Wimbledon's black feet in defense. They are almost out of reach. Have you seen them breathe heavily? Use your skills to tease them, irritate them, and break through them! As long as their defensive line is disrupted by you, our chance will come..."

Speaking of this, Cash suddenly asked: "Boss, how messy should you make?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, then said, "Stir into juice!"

"I see!"

"Do you understand?" Tang En remembered that he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Well, it's like chopping the apple and putting it in the blender."

Donn looked at the Irishman with wide eyes: "Oh my god. Your description is great! Yes, that's it! But we have to replace the apples with nuts. Go ahead and mess them up!"
