Fox in the Penalty Area

"Vukovic."

When Milos Vukovic heard the coach pronounce his name, he raised his head in surprise and looked at coach Parotti.

Parotti ignored his reaction, but continued to read the names from the starting list.

Vukovic looked around again, especially Joaquin Bella Bella and him.

The two looked at each other, Bella smiled at him, and then looked away.

So Vukovic confirmed that he really started again.

He understood that the head coach Parotti chose to continue to trust himself at this critical moment.

At the same time, he also knew that such trust was not unlimited.

If he still can't show a convincing performance, I'm afraid he will have to say goodbye to the starting position,

"I just got the Pirates' starting roster."

In the visiting team's dressing room, Villa Voyagers coach Pier Brent said to his players:

"Good news, Vukovic is still starting. So we have to adjust a little bit, in the offense, we need to make more use of the space behind Vukovic!"

The team captain, Pablo Becker, nodded.

He is the core of the team and determines the direction of the team's offense.

※m※In this game against the Sevilla Navigators, Parotti did not let Joaquin Bella return to the starting lineup as people speculated before the game, but chose to continue to trust Vukovic. Although the Serbian international's performance in the previous game was quite average, even disappointing.

In the match between Madrid Pirates and Sevilla Navigator at home, the commentator Alvarez Sanchez is introducing a noteworthy situation in the game.

"The navigator has obviously noticed this, so when attacking, the focus is on the area where Vukovic is located..."

Vukovic was in a daze, not knowing whether he was in a real game or in a dream.

Because since the start of the game, he has become the key attack target of the Seville Navigator. It can be clearly felt that the navigator's attack is targeting him.

Especially after he attacks, as long as Navigator gets the ball, he will immediately pass the football to the space behind him.

For this reason, he had to return to the defense desperately, sprinting back and forth at the speed of the attack.

After the back defense is in place, you must immediately stare at the threatening players. It is completely different from the back defense when he played the midfielder.

When he played in Weiserdorf before, he didn't have high requirements for defense. He can return to the position and put up a good posture, which is considered a very good performance.

There are not many opportunities for physical confrontation with opponents.

If the opponent wants to break through him, he will only intercept it symbolically, and then hand it over to his teammates who are responsible for defense behind him.

Not at all now.

If he passes the opponent's offense now, he will be directly facing the defender.

He had to do everything in his power to stop the opponent.

Even in a sense, he has no way out - if he does not perform well in this game,

He will be adjusted out of the starting lineup.

It is certainly impossible for the head coach to continue to start himself in the key battle of the Champions League against the Turin Bulls.

This game has to be played as if it were the last game.

He thought of that dream again.

Can't make dreams... come true!

Voyager's striker Dani retreated to receive the pass, and Vukovic posted it immediately, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Dani originally wanted to get rid of Vukovic easily and break into the penalty area.

But before he started, he felt a shock force hitting him——Vukovic stuck up.

Dani was taken aback, he didn't expect Vukovic to be so tough.

Fortunately, his foot skills are delicate enough. At the moment of being hit, he hooked the football back, otherwise he might have lost the ball just now. ball.

Instead, Dani seized the opportunity and shook him away!

But Dani also failed to bring the football into the penalty area, because he had just shaken Vukovic and was about to start accelerating when the Pirates captain Juan Ramirez rushed from the side and kicked him.

After a muffled sound, Dani, who suffered from a lack of strength, staggered and wanted to fall out, leaving the football at Ramirez's feet.

After quickly passing the football, Ramirez turned around and shouted to Vukovic: "Don't take it easy, just stick to him!"

After yelling, Ramirez realized that he was yelling in Spanish, and the other party still couldn't understand it, so he switched to English, and at the same time cooperated with gestures and movements, repeating the meaning again.

This time Vukovic understood, he nodded: "Understood."

※※After Carey stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he got rid of Victor Montero, the navigator's midfielder, and pretended to pass the ball to Hou Lai. After opening the angle, choose to shoot directly.

However, he didn't fully exert his strength on this kick, and the football was hugged by Navigator goalkeeper Marko Duric.

Then Voyagers launched an attack Vukovic ran back from the front again, this time defending the captain of the opposing team, Pablo Becker.

The midfield master from Argentina faced Vukovic, and after a feint shot from the upper body, he brought the football forward with his feet.

Vukovic posted up, and Ka followed in the paint.

Seeing this, Becker raised his right foot and made a gesture to distribute the ball to the right.

Then slam the football to the left and turn around at the same time.

Vukovic was indeed thrown out by Becker's kick, but he turned around and killed him immediately after realizing that he had been deceived.

Becker's speed is not fast, which is his weakness, and Vukovic rushed forward again with two big strides.

Becker didn't expect that Vukovic's reaction was so fast this time, and he was reposted by the other party.

If he continues to fight with Vukovic, he will only miss the opportunity to organize an attack.

In desperation, Becker had to turn around to protect the football, and then pass the football back.

"Nice job!"

In the distance, Ramirez shouted in accented English.

Although Vukovic still did not steal the ball from Becker's feet, he completed a successful defense.

A defense doesn't have to win the ball away from the opponent to be successful.

Blocking a forward pass, forcing the opponent to slow down...these are successful defenses.

Hearing the praise, Vukovic didn't show a smile on his face. He just looked around to confirm the positions of the players on both sides near him, and then stood in his defense zone again, preparing for the Navigator's next attack.

Mimi※

"Vukovic was obviously more aggressive in defense today...

The assistant coach Valentine on the sidelines walked up to head coach Parotti and covered his mouth with his hands.

"He probably realized his chances were running out."

Parotti said: "No matter what the reason is, as long as he works harder in defense, our goal will be achieved. Vukovic's running ability is very strong, and he can completely erect a barrier by running in defense. , to provide protection for our back line, so that the pressure on Drew is much lighter."

Mimi ※Drew's pressure is indeed much lighter.

He could feel some nuances between today's game and the previous ones.

Before, because Vukovic would leak space, as a central defender, Drew had to rush up many times, act as a midfielder, and even rushed to the center line to defend in one breath.

Although Drew's turn is fast, the speed is not slow, and he is very flexible, but he rushes so high, leaving a huge gap behind him...it is also very difficult for him to handle.

Let him run a 100-meter race against Melly in the race, it is really difficult - no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than Melly.

Meli is fast and flexible, and he is as slippery as a loach when he carries the ball. It's okay if he stands still and simply competes with Melly in speed, then he really can only be left behind.

There is no such problem in this game.

He doesn't need to press forward frequently, because there are people in front of him.

Vukovic worked very hard in defense in this game, protecting his line of defense very well.

It’s like having a filter. First help him filter out some threatening attacks that can hit him. Because of the assistance of his teammates, he can deal with it more calmly.

That's why Drew once said to Chen Xingyi that defense was not his business alone. He was really not looking for excuses to excuse himself, but the fact.

In football, the offense can be solved by the talent of the players alone. But defense really needs to rely on the cooperation of the whole team, or rely on the system-if a defensive player always needs to be one-on-one with the opponent's offensive player, it means that there is a big problem with the team's defensive system. No matter how outstanding this defensive player is,

There is also no guarantee that I will win all one-on-one defenses throughout the game, let alone all one-on-one defenses throughout the season.

Now with the support of his teammates, Drew is much more comfortable defending.

Danny Drew can not care about the ridicule and nickname for him on the Internet, but he doesn't want to let the Pirates fans continue to be disappointed.

He also wants to be like Hu Lai, wherever he goes, he can reap the heartfelt cheers and respect from the Pirates fans ※※Although Vukovic works hard, he can't stop every attack of the Seville Navigator , like this time.

The navigator's main left midfielder Josepe Jensen suddenly cut in from the wing, forming a numerical advantage in Vukovic's defense zone.

Becker sent a through ball just in time, and it hit the Pirates' rib space. Vukovic turned and chased it.

To be honest, Vukovic has some admiration in his heart-he also wants to play like this, stirring up wind and rain in front of the opponent's penalty area. Instead of defending bitterly like now.

But there is no way, this is his responsibility and work.

So he gritted his teeth and chased after him. He had just run two steps when he saw Danny Drew rushing towards Jensen.

The Danish international kicked up his left foot, as if he was going to pass directly, but after grabbing it, he buckled the football to the inside, and he wanted to cut inside!

At the same time as he smashed the ball, Danny Drew suddenly cut across, and just like that cleanly separated the football from Jensen.

“Drew! Nice defense!”

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the Pirates fans applauded Drew's wonderful performance unanimously.

Amid the cheers and applause, Drew looked up against Jensen's impact and push behind him, and his eyes collided with Vukovic's.

Vukovic realized that he didn't have to chase back when Drew was close to stealing the ball.

His body immediately slowed down and braked, while looking at Drew.

It was at this time that Drew also looked at him.

Both saw what Vukovic was trying to express from the eyes of the other: Pass me the ball!

Drew: Ready to catch the ball!
