Green striker

Not long after the game restarted, the halftime whistle sounded. When Chen Yang was about to walk back to the locker room, old assistant coach Hunter Ben handed Chen Yang a dry towel in the player tunnel.

"That goal was very good." While giving Chen Yang a towel, Hunter also smiled and congratulated Chen Yang.

Then, Hunter quietly asked about Chen Yang's current situation, "Do you still have the strength for the second half?"

"I'm not injured or sick, and I feel fine." Chen Yang said truthfully.

Except that the feeling of being soaked now is not good.

"That's good, now go back to the locker room and change into dry clothes." The old assistant coach patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and asked Chen Yang, who was wiping his wet hair after taking the towel, to get down quickly.

After the old assistant coach gave Chen Yang instructions, he greeted the next Tarragona player who came over and did the logistics work just like the club staff here on the sidelines.

Chen Yang here naturally didn't have much time to think about staying and communicating. After greeting the old assistant coach, Chen Yang quickly went down to the locker room.

After entering the dressing room, Chen Yang changed his clothes, then picked up a hair dryer and blew his hair to dry himself out of the wet state as quickly as possible.

In such a heavy rain situation, when taking a break from high-intensity and fierce competition, this is also something that a professional player should pay more attention to than ordinary people.

Especially since it's only halftime and there's still a 45-minute second half.

Of course, this kind of thing is true for everyone who will play in the second half, and no one is exception.

Colds, fevers, and flu can all be easily caused if you don't pay a little attention.

Professional players are also human beings. Even after training, their immunity prevents them from getting sick easily, but that's all.

This is true for professional players, not to mention people whose physical fitness and immunity are not as good as those of players.

"The weather forecast is really unbelievable. The rain it's raining today is nothing short of moderate rain."

It was Carlo, the substitute defender who replaced Grossito in today's game. He complained in the locker room, "I felt so uncomfortable in the first half of the game. I hate the feeling of my clothes getting wet all over."

Already."

"In this season, the weather is inherently fickle. Don't blame the weather forecast. It would be damned if the weather forecast could predict everything accurately." The complaints about Carlo have been changed.

The old captain in good clothes shook his head, he had seen a lot.

Moreover, Silin seemed to have remembered something, touched his chin, and said again: "What is this? I don't think you have seen it before. It's in the same place, with a dark rainstorm on one side and bright sunshine on the other."

The scene on a sunny day, that scene, tsk tsk tsk.”

Speaking of the latter, the old captain clicked his tongue, as if he had witnessed that scene with his own eyes.

"Where should I have seen this?" Morente asked curiously.

The old captain replied: "It's not difficult to see this situation happen, you just need..."

"That must be very lucky." Morente thought.

"No, it doesn't require any luck."

"How is it possible? How could you see something like this without any luck?" Morente was surprised by the old captain's words.

"Actually, there is no need for luck at all..." The old captain paused here and gave up.

Now, during the conversation between Silin and Morente, everyone became more or less interested in the situation of the old captain. Everyone in the locker room also looked at Silin, wanting to hear it.

What was the old captain's answer?

Here, Chen Yang was sitting at the back. Looking at this, he opened his mouth, but closed it again.

Chen Yang knew what the old captain was going to say next.

However, it is really meaningless for Chen Yang to tell it, because the answer has no meaning in the first place.

Therefore, Chen Yang just looked at the old captain who had given up his life and pretended to be mysterious as he said word by word, "The answer is very simple, that is... on the Internet.

"

"What on the Internet?" Morente didn't quite understand the word the old captain said.

"Of course it's on the Internet!"

“On the computer, you can search and see it!”

After saying that, the old captain burst into laughter.

Only the old captain smiled.

"…………"

In the locker room where the old captain's answer came from, the other players were collectively indifferent upon hearing the answer.

The old captain who likes to tell cold jokes and so-called humor has really started again.

But this is not even a bad joke, there is absolutely nothing to make people laugh about, right?

But it doesn't make people feel funny at all, right?

Old captain, he really doesn't seem to have that kind of humor.

"What's going on? It's so quiet in the locker room. Are you waiting for me to come?" Mandy, who had just opened the door to the locker room, asked after seeing the cold atmosphere.

After asking, Mandy didn't bother about the reason why the locker room was so quiet today. Mandy saw that after he spoke out, most of the players' attention turned to him.

Mandy smiled again and said: "Okay, it's good to be quiet now. I will just use the next time to talk about some changes in our tactical formation in the second half."

The halftime break is when the head coach is arranging his troops, looking at his ability to coach the game, and adjusting his performance.

If the tactical changes are properly adjusted, then the second half of the game will naturally be of great benefit to the team.

But in Tarragona's second half, tactically, to be honest, any head coach wouldn't be able to do anything.

Mandy's tactical changes in the second half, in his plan, are very simple, change when you need to, and play when you can.

"Bennato, Silin, Chen Yang, how are the physical fitness of the three of you? Will you be able to last until the end of the game in the second half?"

When Mandy opened his mouth, he asked directly about these three main generals who could not be ignored in the defense line, midfield, and forward line.

This is Tarragona's first choice for substitutions during the game.

As long as any one of these three says that he is not physically strong enough and cannot persist, then Mandy will simply use the substitution spot.

"I don't need it."

Chen Yang was the first to respond.

Although he is a free man in the frontcourt and runs a lot, he does not consume a lot of physical energy. He has no problem playing the whole game.

"I don't have any problems. Although the defensive pressure is high, my physical fitness can still support me."

Behind Chen Yang was vice-captain Bennatto. He raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to replace him in the second half.

Bennato, 29 years old, is in the golden age of a player, so there is no problem in this case.

The one with the problem is the old captain Silin. When asked about his physical fitness by Mandy, the old captain said sincerely: "As for me, I should be able to play for half an hour at most."

"Okay then, I will replace you depending on the situation when the time comes." Mandy nodded, he understood, so he would decide accordingly.

"That's it." Silin nodded, and then he said with a smile: "If it hadn't been raining too much and too cold tonight, I would have played the whole game without any pressure."

"As much as I hate to admit it, it is the fact."

The old captain was still laughing, but this time, there was no conscious humor in his laughter.

Some of them are just a sigh that seems to show respect for old age.

In the words of the old captain, the players on the team next to him did not speak at this time. They all looked sideways at the 33-year-old veteran who was about to leave for 34.

This time it was everyone, because the old captain spoke in silence.

Chen Yang also glanced at the old captain while Silin was speaking.

He was a little surprised, because it was rare for him to see the old captain show his attitude of obeying his elders, and it happened in the locker room, under the eyes of everyone.

However, just as some surprise arose, Chen Yang took it back.

Because, this is a fact.

People have to adapt to old age. For professional players, after the age of 30, their physical fitness will more or less decline.

Generally speaking, if the physical condition is maintained well and the daily life is self-disciplined, the condition will not decline much. As long as the skills are still there, there will be no problem for such a player to play until 35 or 36.

But the decline in physical ability is inevitable, such as physical fitness, speed and so on.

I will definitely not be like a young man, such as Chen Yang now, who is 20 years old, such a energetic and young man.

It is a high-intensity strenuous exercise that can go up and down, run and jump. No matter how long it takes or how tired you are, you can persevere and endure it.

Veterans, veterans, when the years have passed, what is left is the rich experience and the body that is no longer young and energetic.

Except for those players who have absolutely first-class talent, whether it is physical fitness or their own skills, they will not be counted among the ranks of old age players. They are the type that get better and better as they get older.

As for the old captain of the Tarragona team, will he be this type?

Slim, he is not.

At least, Chen Yang didn't think so.

In the visiting team's locker room, Guardiola came to the locker room during halftime. He was also following his players to make arrangements for the second half.

"In the first half of the game, we made some mistakes and made a lot of mistakes."

"In the first half of the game, we controlled more than 80% of the ball. With as many as 12 shots on goal, we still gave the opponent Tarragona a chance, and we ourselves faced some good opportunities.

I couldn’t catch it either.”

"This deserves our vigilance."

Guardiola's words may be aimed at one or two of the players sitting here now.

But Guardiola, that is, he stopped talking. He turned and said: "In the second half of the game, we still have to continue to take the initiative. When we play against the Tarragona team, we must play like we are in La Liga."

It's the same as playing against those conservative teams that bus the team in the penalty area."

"But in the second half, we should appropriately reduce some backcourt passes when controlling the ball, and try to make more use of breakthroughs with the ball."

"Come on the other side and try to get fouls that allow the opponent to get a card. Then, take more long-range shots, more corner kicks, and more free kicks."

"Use set-piece opportunities to look for opportunities."

Guardiola's tactical arrangement for the second half is also based on the actual situation of the game and comes from outside influences.

The heavy rain that started falling in the middle of the first half was still too heavy. In the second half, Barcelona continued to insist on passing and controlling the ball in the waterlogged field. The quality of the passing was not too high, and it was easy.

Mistakes give the opponent a chance.

In Guardiola's view, at the end of the first half, the opposing team's No. 9 forward made continuous passes on the wing and scored a one-stop goal. Except for the mistakes in the defense, the center and backcourt were not paying attention.

Be careful not to be careless, but the venue factor is also one of the reasons.

Because he could clearly see the opponent's passing action on the sideline, and when Alves turned around to pull someone back to chase him, he made a continuous "step into the trap".

So this heavy rain is really bad.

Guardiola thinks so.

"Damn it, why does it keep raining?"

In the stands, Jos, who was wearing a thin raincoat, yelled unhappily. Now he was watching the game in the open-air stands.

In the stand where Jos is now, during this period, there are only a few Tarragona fans and friends who are still holding on, including Jos.

After the heavy rain started, many people had already left the venue early. Now, during the intermission, more people no longer persisted and chose to leave.

After all, watching football in this unobstructed open-air stand is not only not enough to protect against rain, but also the main reason is that it cannot be protected. The areas where the clothes are soaked by the rain stick to the body. Along with the continuous heavy rain, the bursts of

The cold wind blowing this way made it feel chilly on my body.

It felt quite uncomfortable, even for a strong grown man like Joss, he was a little unable to withstand this overly unfriendly weather environment.

"Ah sneeze!"

Jos had already begun to sneeze. It was too cold. If it continued like this, he would definitely catch a cold. Jos began to look around, trying to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

However, wherever he looked, there were people standing there, and there was nowhere for Jos to look.

Seeing this, Joss scratched his beard and wanted to leave.

Maybe it would be a good choice to watch the game on TV at home after returning home...

However, Jos looked at the current score written on the large electronic display screen standing on the court, 1:0!

And, the current total score of 2:4 in the two rounds of home and away is displayed at the back.

Originally, José had to leave before the end of the first half.

But who made Joss persist? He was at the scene, just waiting for Chen Yang's wonderful team on the wing.

The second half hasn't started yet, and I don't know what the changes will be like in the second half.

There is a huge difference between watching a game live and watching a game on a TV while lying on the sofa.

It’s just that the experience of watching the game now is... difficult!

This is where Jos is troubled.

After standing in the stands for a while in the heavy rain.

Joss finally stamped his feet and made up his mind. He chose to sit back.

He wants to watch the game here before deciding whether to leave.

Whoosh!

In the rain of this night, another cold wind blew along with the rain, blowing on José's face.

The bone-chilling feeling in his heart made Joss, who was already wet, tremble all over!

It's too cold!

The trembling Jos was blown away by the biting cold wind. He gritted his teeth and said, "The tickets I spent money on cannot be wasted like this. If I see Barcelona score in the second half, I will

Let’s go now!”

"If there is no goal..."

"At most, at most, I can only watch him for another twenty minutes!"

Half an hour at most!

Joss felt that he could only hold on for so long here.
