The coaching career started as a college team coach

"Mom, I have a very important game tomorrow." Almiron said this, and he didn't know how to continue. He had to play a very important game, and then what? He didn't know what the purpose of "reporting" this to his mother was, nor did he know what answer he wanted from her.

"Are you nervous, Mickey?"

"Nervous. I'm going to start tomorrow."

"Look at what you said, it's not your first start." The mother laughed. Almiron remembered that his first start might have been when he was young in Cerro Porteno.

At that time, not only his mother, but almost everyone he knew sat in front of the TV to watch his game. A long time has passed.

"Mom, we are competing for the championship. We are all heading for the same goal. I don't want to disappoint them, and I don't want to disappoint myself."

The mother didn't speak, just listened to her son talking slowly on the other end of the phone.

"I'm afraid of making mistakes, although the people here are very nice and tolerant of me. If I make a mistake, they may not punish me or ignore me. But I will be disappointed in myself."

"So I am very conflicted and nervous, Mom. I flew so far to play in England, but I was so nervous before winning the championship. I am so fragile."

The mother listened to the words from the other side of the ocean. She knew that what her son needed at this time was not advice, but listening and companionship.

"Miguel."

Almiron stopped.

"Miguel, no matter what, we will watch your game tomorrow. No matter what, we are supporting you."

"Yeah." Almiron didn't know how to answer, he could only remain silent.

Almiron talked a lot with his mother. At first, Almiron was mainly talking and his mother was listening. Later, Almiron asked about the situation at home, so it was mainly his mother who was talking and Almiron was listening.

Fortunately, Almiron was arranged in a single room this time, so Almiron could chat without worrying about disturbing his teammates.

The next day, when Wei Le saw Almiron, he seemed to smile more. Wei Le didn't know what happened, but after all, he still had to rely on Almiron's performance tonight. Since Almiron was more cheerful, it was always good.

Almiron was not very good at dealing with pressure. In the recent assessment given by the team doctor, Almiron was one of the people who needed to pay attention to the psychological stress state.

Although Almiron was very popular, he actually didn't have any particularly good friends in the Wolves. Bowen and Jota had a good relationship because they entered the team at the same time. Coady and Ruben Dias had a good relationship because they were partners in the back line.

But Almiron didn't speak English very clearly since he came to the team, let alone open his heart and make friends with English-speaking teammates.

Wei Le felt that Almiron's performance was not satisfactory when facing the pressure of the championship, mainly because there was no way to relieve the pressure. Pressure needs to be vented, and at least Almiron couldn't vent the pressure by communicating with friends.

In this game, Almiron, the right winger, needs to play to the advantage of his right foot, shake the angle and cross the ball. His performance is very important to the result of this game.

In fact, Almiron's condition has been very bad during this period. In the championship stage, Jota and Bowen continued to play, and Haaland also performed well, but Almiron was generally silent for various reasons.

Sometimes he was "sleepwalking" on the court, and he could not find the space to break through under the siege of the opponent. Sometimes he missed the game that had the opportunity to play because of some minor injuries.

This is not okay. If he performs like this, he will definitely not be able to compete in the Premier League next season.

Wei Le also suspected that there was a problem with his tactical arrangement for Almiron, which led to this situation. He believes that Almiron can play as both wingers and center forwards, and can also play as a front midfielder, so he was placed in the position of cutting in from the left.

Almiron's cutting in from the left can give space for the left-back Godfrey to press forward and cross, which is suitable for the team's style of play, but does this also sacrifice Almiron's ability?

Wei Le made a lot of adjustments to Almiron. This time, he directly arranged Almiron on the right side, letting him try to cross from the right side, and let Doherty move in the ribs when attacking.

After the game started, both sides attacked and defended each other.

In the 10th minute, Leeds United midfielder Pablo Hernandez suddenly shot in front of the penalty area, and his long shot was higher than the goal range, but his shot was regarded as the final curtain of this game.Open.

In the 18th minute, Wolves found an opportunity.

The opportunity appeared on the right side, and Edwards passed the ball to Doherty. Doherty passed the ball to Almiron in front.

Before Almiron received the ball, he looked into the penalty area. Before this attack, Leeds United players were actually in place to defend. The penalty area was full of people. If a cross was made, it would probably not be effective.

What to do?

Almiron took a deep breath, and the ball was passed. Almiron lowered his center of gravity, pushed the ball toward the bottom line, and accelerated to take a step.

The space was getting smaller and smaller, Almiron gritted his teeth, his right foot was his dominant foot, and at a place very close to the goal, why didn't he try... shooting? !

The angle was small, but Almiron still glimpsed the defensive emptiness of the near post. Leeds United's left back Berardi was not as fast as Almiron, and he had enough time to shoot after shaking the angle.

If you think of it, do it!

Almiron lowered his head and focused on controlling the ball. He took a step forward, then swung his leg and shot!

Berardi felt something was wrong and quickly shoveled. Phillips, who was returning to defense, also shoveled out to block Almiron's shot from another direction.

But Almiron's shot was very accurate! And it was powerful! Goalkeeper Green did not expect Almiron's ball to go directly to the goal.

When Almiron shook the angle, Green thought he was actually going to cross the ball. From his point of view, Haaland's position in the middle was also very dangerous, so Green took a step forward and tried to save the opponent's cross.

But this ball was coming from behind Green!

Green seemed to have slipped, and stretched his left hand behind him to save the shot. But he didn't touch anything! The football almost rubbed the goal post and flew into the goal!

1:0! ! Almiron scored!
