I Just Can Score

Two days before the derby.

During the interview, Pellegrini showed a confident and calm look. He talked about the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Barcelona and the semi-finals that will come after the derby. He said, "At this point in time Yes, it’s not good news to meet Barcelona.”

"Whether we are facing Barcelona or Bayern, we need to use all our energy, but it is impossible for the players to be energetic continuously, and the entire team also needs time to adjust."

Regarding the national derby, Pellegrini said, "We are well prepared for the game against Barcelona. We won at Camp Nou in the last round. I believe we will still win this time."

Pellegrini's confidence has infected Real Madrid fans. The head coach said that having confidence against Barcelona makes them proud. They also believe that Real Madrid can win.

Actually.

Pellegrini did not appear confident on the surface. By the end of the interview, he had not yet determined what tactics he would use.

This is embarrassing.

There is a reason why Barcelona is recognized as strong. Their overall technical level and coordination level have reached the top level. Other teams cannot imitate them. In addition, Messi, as the core, is in very good condition. Now they can all be called the 'perfect team'.

Real Madrid was able to suppress such a team in the league, and even defeated the opponent by a huge score when facing directly, which made Pellegrini feel like he was in a dream.

Yes.

Pellegrini spoke very highly of Barcelona.

If we think about tactics and response methods to compete with Barcelona, ​​Pellegrini will not hesitate to let the team play defensive counterattack, but will Real Madrid use defensive counterattack?

This is where Pellegrini struggles.

The striker composed of Zhen Shaolong and Ronaldo is too strong. Real Madrid seems to have a great chance of winning when competing with Barcelona. It just needs to rely on the performance of Zhen Shaolong and Ronaldo, especially Zhen Shaolong, who has always performed amazingly. He can Score two or three goals and Real Madrid will definitely win.

"So...are we still going to use defensive counterattack?" Pellegrini hesitated.

If there is no defensive counterattack, the forwards will have more opportunities, and the outcome will depend on the performance of the stars in the team.

If the star performs slightly poorly, it will be difficult for them to beat Barcelona.

on the contrary.

Playing defensive counterattack means that the forwards will have fewer opportunities, and the overall team will be suppressed by Barcelona. However, from a tactical level, solid defense means a greater chance of winning.

However, even if you are playing defensive counterattack, you still need the performance of stars.

The difference is that playing head-to-head requires the performance of stars such as Ronaldo and Diarra. The midfield and frontcourt are strong enough to create opportunities for the strikers. Zhen Shaolong will definitely be closely guarded by the opponent, so the chances are relatively small; playing defensive counterattacks requires It's different, because fast break has become the main method. If two or three stars perform well, it is enough to score the opponent's goal. Then Zhen Shaolong's performance is very important. Maybe if the chance is good enough, he can complete the goal alone.

"so……"

"Believe in Zhen Shaolong or the entire team?"

What a dilemma!

Pellegrini was worried about the game tactical board for a long time. He wrote Zhen Shaolong's name on one side and C-Ronaldo on the other side. Later he changed it to 'whole team' and then used a very childish method, " WIN has three letters, just start counting from Zhen Shaolong, and whichever letter the last letter is, use which way to play!"

"W, Zhen Shaolong!"

"I, the whole team!"

"N, Zhen Shaolong!"

Pellegrini took a long breath and said with a smile, "So, this is God's will, let's play defensive counterattack!"

Kusilas next to him was stunned.

Kusilas opened his mouth forcefully, and his facial muscles tensed up. He couldn't understand Pellegrini's thoughts at all, "WIN? Three letters? Do you still need to count?"

Pellegrini glared at Kusilas, "Of course, I believe this is God's will, otherwise why would I choose to start counting from Zhen Shaolong?"

"..."

Kusilas didn't know what to say. He found that he couldn't understand Pellegrini's operations. Maybe he still has a long way to go before becoming a real head coach.

at the same time.

Zhen Shaolong was having lunch with Granero and Diarra in the club restaurant. They were talking about the upcoming El Clasico, and by the way, they were also talking about their Champions League rival Bayern Munich.

"I'm very familiar with Bayern. I played against Bayern last year," Zhen Shaolong said. "That's a good team. I have a very good impression of Bayern."

There is one sentence left behind, "Bayern often triggers tasks."

Granero and Diarra nodded together. They had nothing to say about Bayern and they didn't know what to say about Barcelona. They were more interested in gossip about their private lives.

For example, Diarra was gossiping about Granero not finding a girlfriend, "My girlfriend has a few good girlfriends, what do you think? Introduce one to you?"

Granero thought about Diarra's girlfriend and felt that he had no appetite for lunch. He was more concerned about Zhen Shaolong's departure.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Granero asked seriously.

"right."

Zhen Shaolong said helplessly, "Actually, I don't want to leave. I have friends like you in the club, but Manchester City has activated the buyout clause. At the end of the season, I will be a Manchester City player."

Granero was a little disappointed.

Diarra also pursed her lips.

In fact, one thing that the two of them know very well is that their main positions are related to Zhen Shaolong. Zhen Shaolong's departure will definitely affect their status. The competition for the same position in the team is very exciting. Real Madrid doesn't know what moves they will make in the summer. They want to It is difficult to continue to hold the main position.

Zhen Shaolong saw the expressions of the two people and knew what they were thinking. He suggested in a friendly way, "Lars, if you can't make it in Real Madrid, you can come to Manchester City to find me. I believe that Manchester City will definitely need a strong center like you." field."

"Esteban, my advice to you is..."

Granero listened with interest.

"Find a girlfriend first, otherwise I'm not sure whether I'll still have contact with you." Zhen Shaolong said seriously.

Diarra nodded.

Granero buried his head in tears with a sad face. His orientation was really normal, but he focused on football and ignored personal relationship issues. He was about the same age as Zhen Shaolong, so why did he insist on finding a girlfriend?

Zhen Shaolong continued, "How about this? My bodyguard Jenny doesn't have a boyfriend yet. She is a woman with a good personality. Cristiano liked her before, but she rejected her. How about it? If you and Jenny get married, we will It’s just family.”

Granero rolled his eyes and said, "Then I might as well date Cristiano."

At this time, Guti came from behind and happened to hear Granero's words. He opened his mouth in shock, then silently turned around and walked to the table next to him to sit down, without daring to make a sound in the process.

Then.

Guti turned on his cell phone and started typing continuously for a long, long time.

Zhen Shaolong's position was diagonally opposite to Gudi's. He asked a little strangely, "Jose, what are you doing?"

Granero glanced at it and curled his lips and said, "This guy must be gossiping again. I don't know which poor guy it is..."

Diarra nodded.

Guti raised his head and put down his mobile phone, showing a calm and gentle smile, "I just want to introduce a friend to Cristiano. He has been single since he came to Madrid. I thought about making arrangements for him, maybe he will like me as a friend."

Zhen Shaolong and Diarra nodded deeply.

Granero said with a sour mouth, "I've known you much earlier than Cristiano, and you didn't even mention introducing me..."

"Because Cristiano is more popular." Guti answered matter-of-factly.

After hearing this, Granero could only feel depressed. He was indeed not as popular as Ronaldo.

————

After having lunch in the restaurant, Zhen Shaolong went to the dormitory to rest. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes for half an hour, which was very helpful for reviving his energy.

But he was interrupted by a system message.

"Tip: There is a new system task triggered.

Head coach Pellegrini has great trust in you and bets the outcome of the game on your performance. You should repay Pellegrini's trust with goals in the next game against Barcelona.

Mission goal: Lead Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona by more than two goals.

(During the mission, you will obtain the special aura ‘King of Counterattack’.

When your team completes the steal, you will receive a special effect within fifteen seconds--

1. Your explosive power increases by 20%.

2. The moment you dribble the ball past your opponent, there is a 50% chance of triggering the 'football following effect', which lasts for two seconds.

3. When your teammates pass the ball to you, the football route will be corrected ten degrees to the best position. )

Mission reward: The appearance index increases a little. "

Zhen Shaolong was a little confused when he saw the mission introduction. He did not expect that Pellegrini's trust would actually trigger the system mission.

Pellegrini is such a good coach!

Zhen Shaolong felt grateful in his heart, even a little moved. Bergman and Kevin Keegan also trusted him, but they never triggered a task because of their trust. Pellegrini actually used this to leverage the system. , it’s really amazing.

Of course.

The mission is actually risky.

Although Barcelona has been suppressed by Real Madrid, Zhen Shaolong knew that it was just because he performed well enough and scored enough goals. Without any systematic tasks, he faced Barcelona head-on. Even if his performance was not bad, Real Madrid wanted to win. There is also a certain degree of difficulty.

Barcelona is indeed very strong, with a strong lineup, good star condition, overall maturity and stability, etc. Barcelona has many, many advantages. It will be easier to win as long as the mission is triggered.

The temporary effect of this task is indeed good. Two personal bonuses can appear during counterattacks, and one is a teammate's passing bonus.

"It seems..."

Zhen Shaolong sighed and thought, "I have to be Maradona for once, but I really don't like Maradona."
