Fox in the Penalty Area

In the weekly regular coaching staff meeting, head coach Parotti looked a little tired.

In yesterday's game, the Madrid Pirates, who played with all their main players, failed to beat Catalan at home. Whether it was the result of the game itself or the criticism from the media after the game, he was under tremendous pressure.

For this game, he made all the main players take a break for a King's Cup match.

From pre-match training preparations to tactical arrangements, he made very detailed arrangements.

It can be said that he is bound to win these three points.

In the end, he didn't expect that Catalan coach José Bernal would adopt such a passive tactic in the game-not attacking, but defending.

This is really unexpected to him.

As a wealthy team, Catalan United naturally has its own pride.

Their pride is that they rarely choose conservative and passive tactics in the game.

No matter what opponent they face, Cathay-Thailand will choose to use their strong control to control the initiative of the game, and then launch an attack on the opponent, completely destroying the opponent with a more violent attack.

This season, Catalan United scored 53 goals in the league, which is the team with the most goals. In the UEFA Champions League, they scored 18 goals in six group matches, second only to the King of Madrid who scored 20 goals, and are the team with the second most goals.

Such a team that is good at offense and has a strong offensive strength, unexpectedly chose defense when facing the Madrid Pirates.

They used their proud "control" expertise to slow down the pace of the game and defend, which made the Madrid Pirates very uncomfortable.

In terms of "control", the Catalan United are doing better than the Madrid Pirates. After all, this is their tradition, and the Madrid Pirates are just temporarily changing course.

So in this game, Parotti did not intend to use control to control. He chose to restore the previous tactics of the Madrid Pirates, using two wings to attack the Catalan defense.

To put it simply, if Catalan is good at "slow", then the Madrid Pirates will use their good "fast" to break "slow".

But he didn't succeed.

This is due to the fact that Silvilio was in poor form in this game, and the two wings flew together and did not fly.

There is also the reason why Hu Lai's feet were not going well in front of the gate yesterday.

The Madrid Pirates, who did not score a goal, could only watch the direct competitors of the league champions celebrate their escape under their noses...

"Some media criticized us for relying too much on Hu's goals, saying that we played too simply..." said the first assistant coach Jesús Valentin.

Parotti waved his hand: "They are right. Although Hu has gradually integrated into our system, this system is relatively simple. There is no way, who made the person we originally planned to be delayed? What about recovery?"

Everyone knows who he is talking about.

Maxi Carey.

"The good news is that Kyrie has started training with the ball, but the bad news is that it will take at least a month before he can practice with the team. Because he has suffered serious injuries in the past two years, we have to be cautious... . . . " Nick Jeter, the team's medical chief, gave head coach Parotti an update on Kyrie's recovery.

"One month later, we are only training together with the team. None of us knows how long it will take for him to actually play..." Second assistant coach Enzo Naher sighed.

This is the case with recovery from injuries. There must be every step that should be done. After the operation, rest is the first step, followed by limited recovery training, and then recovery training and training with the ball.

After training with the ball, the most critical step is to enter the step of training with the team.

Because only when we practice together with the team, there will be physical confrontation and it will be closer to actual combat. And some problems couldn't be exposed in the previous steps, and they only appeared during the joint training, which caught everyone by surprise.

So for everyone, the fact that Kyrie can practice with the team does not mean that they can breathe a sigh of relief, but will be more nervous.

Even when he's available, people don't really relax.

Carey will be the focus of the team medical team in every game, and the physical examination after each game will be very detailed.

Just to make sure he doesn't have the same situation as before - because of the knee injury, the ankle injury required surgery...

But that was the case. For a professional player in his thirties, two consecutive serious injuries meant that he had to walk on thin ice every day of his career.

The first assistant coach Valentine asked Parotti: "Didn't the club say that they would try their best to introduce players in the winter transfer window?"

Parotti shook his head and sighed: "Really good players rarely appear in the winter transfer market. The few players we are looking at are unlikely to come in the winter window."

In fact, Parotti has long known that the Madrid Pirates lack creativity. Even as early as the summer of 2026, he had clubs in the transfer market looking for playmaking talent in midfield.

At first, Maxi Carey was not injured, and Parotti wanted to find a substitute for Carey.

Later, with Kyrie's injury, the matter became urgent and necessary.

For a while, the desperate Madrid Pirates even pursued Kabunka.

But just like Hu Lai will not join the King of Madrid, Kabanka will definitely not join the Madrid Pirates.

The status of the Madrid Pirates is still not as good as that of the Catalan United and the King of Madrid. At that time, the Catalan United were also pursuing Kabanka.

If you can go to the Catalan United to be the boss, why should you surrender your status and come to Madrid as the second in command?

So Kabanka clearly told the Pirates Club not to waste effort on him, he would never consider the Madrid Pirates.

As a Brazilian genius as famous as Meli, Kabanka does have the qualifications and confidence to say so.

Both Catalan and Blue-White Munich are better options than Pirates of Madrid, and both clubs are interested in him.

If it doesn't work, staying at Atletico Manchester is fine, why go to Madrid Pirates?

Some people are keen to be a rebel and challenge powerful enemies.

Kabangka has no such hobbies. He also wants to challenge powerful enemies, but he is standing on the shoulders of giants to challenge giants.

Other Mr. Golden Balls as strong as Soren Gribusch are even less likely to come to Madrid Pirates.

Even if people want to leave Blue and White Munich, they will only consider the "big family" like the King of Madrid.

Football is not without excellent midfield organizers, but they either, like Kabanka and Gribusch, do not have the idea of ​​​​coming to the Pirates of Madrid, or they are unwilling to transfer in the winter window, or they are simply unwilling to let the club go. people.

As a result, the Madrid Pirates are now scratching their heads, and the people they can choose are very limited.

Those who are fancy cannot come, and those who can come are not.

It's just like love, it's embarrassing.

"So we either give up the idea of ​​introducing target players in the winter window, or introduce them casually, or rent someone to make ends meet..." Parotti explained to his coaching team.

"It's better to rent or transfer than to do nothing." The first assistant coach Valentine gave his opinion.

Others also nodded in agreement.

Although they all knew that it was difficult to find a suitable candidate in the winter window at this time, it was like buying a lottery ticket, and they would always count on winning the lottery.

Even if you can't win the grand prize, can you win a consolation prize?

Since it is a helpless move, they don't expect to bring in those outstanding players. As long as the people who come can share some of the team's pressure, it can be regarded as a successful signing.

Parotti saw that everyone agreed to continue to work hard in the transfer market, no matter whether it was a transfer or a loan, he had to find someone, so he also nodded and agreed to this approach.

"Let's talk about Hu, I think he wasn't in a very high mood after yesterday's game, so he won't have any problems, right?" Valentine said.

"What's the problem? Just get some sleep," said the second assistant coach Nahel. "Maybe it was so smooth before that he forgot what it was like to encounter setbacks. But it doesn't matter, anyone will go through this, as long as they get some sleep."

What Naher was talking about is the mentality of most professional players in the face of failure-this kind of "failure" does not necessarily mean that they really lost the game, but it may also be that the performance is not as good as expected.

For Hu Lai, if he failed to score in such a critical game to help the team win, it can be defined as a "failure".

How to face failure is something every qualified professional player must learn.

Everyone's way is different, some people choose to indulge their desires, some choose to be with their family members, heal themselves with love and family affection, and some people may have other weird methods...

But eventually all need some sleep.

After a good night's sleep, when they see the sun reappear on the skyline, they know that no matter what happens, the sun will always rise. People must look forward and move forward, not to say that they are so optimistic and firm, but time pushes them forward and does not allow them to stop.

"I hope so..." Valentine shrugged, noncommittal to Nahl's statement.

Because he knows that there are always some people whose above-mentioned methods are ineffective.

Most people are just drifting with the flow of time.

But there are also people who want to be that waver, and are not willing to live their lives like this day by day.

※※※

After a day of training, Hu Lai packed himself up, came to the parking lot, and prepared to drive away.

But to his surprise, there was a person standing beside his car.

Hu Lai looked at Maxi Carey in confusion, wondering what he was doing here.

Blame yourself for not scoring in the game yesterday?

Or are you mocking yourself for not playing the role of the team's savior this time?

Maxi Carey saw Hou Lai who was coming forward, and asked a question that confused Hou Lai: "Last night, after the game, how did you sleep?"
