Chapter 40: Heart Quality

On the field of play, Derby County launched a wave of fast breaks.

The football was passed back and forth between Maurice and Van der Vaart. There was no chance to find the first opportunity before reaching the penalty area. Maurice passed the ball to Ribery in the front left.

Ribery was about to rush into the penalty area with the ball, but was stopped by the Schalke 04 defender.

Van der Vaart hurriedly reached for the ball.

In normal times, whether it is training or competition, the cooperation between Morris, Van der Vaart and Ribery is very tacit. ' name, according to the 'script', Ribery should pass the ball to Van der Vaart at this time, the latter can't find the opportunity to cross again, and Morris can get the opportunity when he plugs in. This is training, The game has used a lot of tactical coordination.

But now it's a little different.

At the front of the left penalty area, Ribery made a shot. Seeing this action, the Schalke 04 defender subconsciously wanted to block it. The Derby County players knew that Ribery was going to pass the ball, but no one thought of it. Yes, Ribery did not choose to pass the ball, but directly dunked the ball to pass the defender in front of him.

In such a densely defended position, it would be unwise to excel. If it succeeds, it’s okay to say that the key is that Ribery failed this time, because Schalke 04 has more than one defensive player, and their left back also keeps up. After being double-teamed, Ribery swayed past the opponent in front of him, but was entangled by another player. Although he tried his best to shake off to get rid of it, he was eventually broken under the double-teaming of the two.

Derby County's offense also came to an end.

......

"Derby County missed a good opportunity, Ribery was stole the ball..." Pride Stadium commentator Alfie said regretfully.

Fans in the stands at Pride Stadium also regretted the missed opportunity.

on the coach's bench.

"Damn! Asshole!" Wan Sheng scolded fiercely with his fists, "What the hell, what the hell is he doing!"

"Perhaps he didn't notice?" Diamares advised.

"Didn't see it? Damn it! If you see that kind of pass with your eyes, he can still start the game?" Wan Sheng said angrily. Naturally, he didn't say this casually, the player was on the field. A lot of passing coordination is based on tactics, perhaps relying on the habits in daily training, rather than just looking at it with eyes. Human reaction speed is limited, and it is impossible to always be the first in a fierce game. Know how to pass the ball. If you want to pass the ball well, it naturally depends on habits and tactics. Just now, Ribery should obviously pass the ball because of his position. In addition, he has cooperated with Van der Vaart and Maurice more than once. The reason for not passing the ball must be his own.

It's fine if it's just one time, it can only be said that the temporary performance is not good, but this is not the first time.

Wan Sheng felt quite annoyed.

But look at the time, there are still a few minutes in the first half, and Wansheng did not replace Ribery. He still wanted to wait for half-time to give Ribery some 'pointing'. It should be accurate to say that it is to verbally educate this guy and let him know what to do.

Of course, Ribery didn't hear Wan Sheng's scolding, and he didn't know that Wan Sheng was very annoyed with his performance at this time. He had just taken a chance, and he was a little regretful, but he still felt that he could perform better, as long as there was a moment. better performance. This mistake doesn't matter.

Soon the next opportunity will come again.

This is Leighton Baines's steal, the first time after the steal. He passed the ball to Ribery in front of him. Ribery didn't pause, and rushed forward with the ball. His speed was still very fast and his performance was quite good. The Schalke 04 players who came to grab the ball. At this time, Ribery should pass the ball again. After all, he has already reached the front court, and there is not much space to move forward. However, Ribery still did not pass the ball. He cut the ball across. To the middle.

Ribery's choice made Maurice, who was following behind him, a little dazed, because the positions of the two were repeated a bit. Maurice could only stagger Ribery's position, but Ribery had already fallen into each other. In the interception, in the end, the football was snatched by the opponent, and he himself failed to maintain a good balance and fell directly to the ground.

But the fall received no sympathy.

The referee said nothing, and Wan Sheng on the coach's bench was even more intolerable. He directly asked Diamares to notify the fourth official to request a substitution.

"It's not good to change people now?" Diamares said, looking at the time.

There are still three minutes left, and the first half of the game is about to end. During this time period, the lineup is always maintained, and it is better to make substitutions in the second half.

But Wan Sheng couldn't take it anymore!

"Substitution, let Leto go up!" Wan Sheng decided.

Diamares couldn't change Wansheng's decision, so soon a substitution card was raised on the sidelines, Derby County asked for a substitution, Frank Ribery was substituted, and full-back teenager Leto Ziegler appeared. .

Up to now, Leto Ziegler is only 18 years old. As the youngest player in the team, Wansheng still attaches great importance to his training. He is a young player, has potential, has good strength, and is still very malleable. Now after a year of training, Ziegler has no problem with his strength, that is, he has less experience, but his advantage is that he can play every position in the backcourt. Of course, his best position is full-back, whether it is left-back Or right back, Ziegler can do very well.

Wansheng replaced Ziegler, the meaning is obvious.

Ziegler came on to replace Leighton Baines, then Baines could mention the left midfielder and replace Ribery's position. In this way, the 442 formation was readjusted.

When Derby County raised the substitution card, the entire media, including the fans, were a little surprised. Even those laymen knew that the end of the first half was definitely not a good time for substitutions, even if the game was played at this time. Not good, it should also be delayed until the second half, instead of rushing to make substitutions.

"It seems that Wansheng is very dissatisfied with Ribery's performance..." Alfie said.

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate also said, "In the first half, Ribery wasted too many chances. It seems that he is not in a good state today, and the victory is unbearable."

With his words, the big shot points to Wansheng.

I saw Wan Sheng's serious face, which was not much different from usual. It's hard to tell what Wan Sheng is thinking based on his expression, but he can tell from the look in his eyes that he is thinking about game-related issues, and this substitution also explains a lot.

Ribery stepped off the field.

The cameras pointed to the past for the first time, and Ribery was on almost all the shots. At this time, Ribery was sweating all over his face. The dissatisfaction on his face was also obvious, and there was also a bit of consternation. Obviously, he thought that the coach would replace him at this time, and even Ribery did not expect that the coach would replace him.

He just wanted to perform well and try to help the team score goals. The next moment the team asks to replace him?

He was a little annoyed.

Especially the substitution is still at this time. What does this mean? Anyone can know that this shows that the coach is extremely dissatisfied with his performance, otherwise he would never be replaced by himself now.

However, when Ribery came off the court, he hugged Baines and walked to the bench.

Wan Sheng didn't even look at him, he just pointed to the empty seat and shouted, "Look at it!" The dissatisfaction in that tone was unmistakable.

Although Ribery was also very dissatisfied, he was still a little uneasy.

normal times. Wansheng greeted everyone with a smile, and even when he said things, he was only serious. But no one in the whole team is not afraid of him, especially when he is very serious, the kind of majesty is really scary, even the "fierce-looking" Ribery is no different from his teammates in this regard.

But Ribery still pouted and wrote his dissatisfaction on his face.

With the reports of the outside world, Ribery's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and he somehow feels that he is also a star. As a famous star, it is natural to have face. Look at those stars, don't they all have some personality? ? Now that he is also a star, in an important European competition, it is naturally very embarrassing to be replaced at such a time. Because of this, Ribery feels that he has lost face. Even if he is very uneasy, he still has to show very angry.

"There are many, many fans looking at me now!"

"If I'm as timid as the younger players, the fans who support me will be disappointed, right?"

"I'm a big star now, and I'll write it on my face when I'm angry!"

"I'm not only angry at being replaced, but also angry at the game! I'm angry at the performance!"

"..."

Many thoughts lingered in his mind, and Ribery looked up at the several cameras pointing in this direction, and the thoughts in his heart became firmer.

......

Wan Sheng didn't know that Ribery had so many ideas, and he didn't have the heart to think so much. The first half time passed quickly, and then it was halftime.

In the locker room, Wan Sheng didn't say a word to Ribery, but just told the players who were about to play what to do in the second half.

In fact, he also knew that Ribery must have some ideas, but what about that? If it is Ziegler, he will really comfort a few words, Ribery? But I'm 23 years old, I've experienced so much, and now I'm a little famous, but something goes wrong? If he can't even pass this level, he will never want to become a star in the future, no matter how strong he is, because becoming a star requires not only strength, but also stable mental quality. Status, affect the game status? A player like this can't show his strength anywhere!

Derby County is actually pretty good now. There are no major events. Even in European events, it is difficult to meet heavyweight opponents. If it is in the European Champions Cup, before every major game, there will be a media event The contest, not to mention that every time Chelsea and Barcelona meet in the future, will the media break out the rumors that Ronaldinho is going to transfer to Chelsea?

It's not just rumors, but even Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich said with certainty that he can offer a sky-high transfer fee and a sky-high contract to buy Ronaldo. What about this situation? Ronaldinho's performance is also quite good in every game!

This is the inner quality of a world-class superstar!

Look at the current Ribery... It seems that he has just become famous, and even the French national team is not sure that he can enter and becomes complacent? (To be continued ~^~)
