Fox in the Penalty Area

"Vukovic."

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

Parrotti ignored his reaction and continued to read the names in the starting roster.

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

The two looked at each other, Bella smiled at him, and then retracted her gaze.

So Vukovic confirmed that he really started again.

He understands that coach Parrotti chose to continue to trust himself at this critical moment.

At the same time, he also knows that such trust is not unlimited.

If he 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 locker room, Villa Voyager coach Pier Brent said to his players:

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

The captain of the team, Pablo Becker, nodded.

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

※ Meter ※ In this game against the Sevilla Voyagers, Parrotti did not let Joaquin Bella return to the starting lineup as people guessed before the game, but chose to continue to trust Vukovic. Although the Serbia international's performances in previous matches have been rather mediocre, if not disappointing.

Commentator Alvarez Sanchez is giving you an update on one of the notable events in the match between the Madrid Pirates and the Sevilla Navigators.

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

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

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

Especially after he attacked, as long as the Navigator got the ball, he would immediately pass the football to the space behind him.

For this reason, he had to fight back desperately, sprinting back and forth with the speed of attacking and advancing.

After the defense is in place, it is necessary to immediately keep an eye on the threatening player, which is completely two different strengths from the defense when he plays the attacking midfielder.

When he played in Wissedov before, he didn't have high requirements for defense. He was able to get back to the defensive position and set up a good posture. It was already 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 leave it to his teammates behind him who are responsible for defense.

Not at all now.

If now he has let the opponent's offense pass, it is directly facing the defender.

He had to do everything in his power to stop him.

Even in a sense, he has no way out - if he doesn't perform well in this game,

He will be adjusted out of the starting lineup.

It is certainly impossible for the manager to continue to start himself in the crucial Champions League battle against the Torino Bulls.

This game has to be played like the last game.

He thought of that dream again.

Can't let the dream... come true!

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

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

But before he even started, he felt an impact force hitting him - Vukovich stuck his whole body up.

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

Fortunately, his technique is delicate enough. At the moment of being hit, he hooked the football back. Otherwise, he might have lost the ball just now. Vukovic saw that the first hit was unsuccessful, and he tried to stretch his foot again and break it. 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 swayed Vukovic and was about to start the acceleration, the captain of the Pirates, Juan Ramirez, rushed from the side and hit him right.

After a muffled sound, Dani, who was suffering from a loss of strength, wanted to fall out, leaving the football at Ramirez's feet.

After quickly passing the football out, Ramirez turned around and shouted to Vukovic: "Don't go out easily, just stick to him!"

After shouting, Ramirez realized that he was shouting in Spanish, and the other party couldn't understand it, so he switched to English again, and repeated the meaning again with gestures and movements.

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

※※After Kyrie stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he got rid of the Voyager midfielder Victor Montero, and pretended to pass the ball to Hu Lai, tricking the Voyager midfielder Boatos who was in front of him to move the center of gravity, he shook After opening the angle, choose to shoot directly.

However, he did not fully exert his strength with this kick, and the football was hugged by the navigator goalkeeper Marco Duric.

Then Voyager attacked Vukovic and ran back from the front again, this time against the opponent's captain, Pablo Becker.

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

Vukovic posted it, and Card followed on the inside.

Seeing this, Becker raised his right foot and gestured to score the ball to the right.

Then slam the football to the left, turning around at the same time.

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

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

Becker didn't expect Vukovich to react so quickly this time, and it was reposted by the other party.

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

In desperation, Becker had to turn around to protect the football before passing it back.

"Nice job!\"

In the distance came Ramirez's accented English shouts.

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

A defense doesn't necessarily have to grab the ball from the opponent's feet 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 area again, ready to meet the next attack of the Navigator.

Mimi ※

"Vukovic played a lot more defensively today...

The assistant coach Valentine on the sidelines walked to the coach Parrotti's side and covered his mouth with his hand.

"He probably realized his chances were running out."

Parrotti said: "Whatever the reason, as long as he works harder in defense, our goal will be achieved. Vukovic's running ability is very strong, and he can completely rely on running to erect a barrier in defense. , to provide protection to our back line, so that the pressure on Drew is a lot less."

Mimi ※ Drew's pressure is indeed much lighter.

He could feel the slight difference between today's game and the previous ones.

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

Although Drew's turn was fast, his speed was not slow, and he was very flexible, but he rushed so high, leaving a huge space behind him... He was also very difficult to handle.

It is really hard for a strong man to let him run a 100-meter race with Merry in the competition - no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than Merry.

Merry is fast and agile, and he takes the ball like a loach without slippery hands. If he stood still, it would be okay to say that if he simply competed with Merry in speed, he would really only be left behind.

There is no such problem in this game.

He doesn't need to press forward frequently because there is someone in front of him.

Vukovic worked very hard in defense in this game and protected the line he was in very well.

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

Therefore, Drew once said to Chen Xingyi that defense is not his business alone, and he is really not looking for excuses to excuse himself, but a fact.

In football, the offense can rely on the talent of the players to solve problems alone. But defense really needs to rely on 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. Even if the defensive player's ability is outstanding,

There's no guarantee that you'll win all of your one-on-one defenses the entire game, much less all one-on-one defenses throughout the season.

Now that he has the support of his teammates, Drew is much more comfortable on defense.

Danny Drew may not care about the taunts and nicknames slapped on him online, but he doesn't want to continue disappointing Buccaneers fans.

He also wants to be like Hu Lai, wherever he goes, he can get the heartfelt cheers and respect from the Pirate fans ※※Although Vukovic works hard, he can't stop every attack of the Sevilla navigator ~www.readwn.com~ Just like this time.

Navigator's main left midfielder, Joseph Payensen, suddenly cut in from the flank, forming a numerical advantage in Vukovic's defense area.

Becker sent a through ball just in time, which happened to hit the pirates' ribs and Vukovic turned to chase. It was too late. He could only see Jensen inserted into the space and received a through ball from Becker.

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

But no way, it's his responsibility and job.

So he gritted his teeth and chased after him. Just two steps away, he saw Danny Drew rush up to meet Jensen.

The Denmark international swung his left foot, as if he was going to make a direct cross, but after grabbing it, he buckled the football to the inside, and he wanted to cut inside!

Just as he smashed the ball, Danny Drew swooped in and cut the ball cleanly from Jensen.

"Drew! Nice defense!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the Pirates fans did not applaud Drew for his wonderful performance.

In the cheers and applause, Drew resisted Jensen's slamming and pushing behind him, looked up, and his eyes collided with Vukovic.

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 of them saw Vukovic's meaning in each other's eyes: Pass the ball to me!

Drew: Get ready to catch the ball!
