Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 2008 Coax the children?

"Tomorrow is the game against Cathay United, so today we will have a confrontational training match."

After warming up and starting training, head coach Parotti announced the training plan.

Then assistant coach Jesús Valentine began the roll call.

Anyone whose name was called stepped forward and received a yellow vest from second assistant coach Enzo Naher.

Everyone knows very well that these people are likely to start tomorrow's game.

That yellow vest, like a yellow robe... is the goal of all players.

Then Valentine read Farias' name.

Ion looked at Nestor Farias who was standing obliquely in front, five people away from him.

The boy looked indifferent and took it for granted.

This made Ion even more upset, and couldn't help but snorted lightly.

Although Tonini's performance was widely criticized after losing to Catalan United in the first round, if the head coach wants to reverse the situation in the second round, he must make adjustments to the starting lineup. So it is not too surprising that Farias replaced Tonini in the starting lineup.

When Valentine named Farias, there was no uproar in the team. Obviously everyone has already guessed this point.

But Ion was still upset.

Displeased with that kid's calmness, as if he should be the starter...

※※※

After the team is finished, everyone enters the stadium and prepares to start the match.

Tonini, who became a substitute, found the right midfielder Alejandro Lopez who was also a substitute: "Alejandro, let's change positions, I will come to the right."

Lopez was a little strange at first, but when he saw Farias opposite him, he suddenly realized.

He thought that after Tonini was squeezed out of the main position by Farias, he was very unconvinced and wanted to cause some trouble for Farias in the match, maybe he could regain the starting spot?

Although he is a young player, Alejandro Lopez, who joined the Pirates since he was a child and was promoted step by step from the youth training of the Pirates to the first team, has a deep affection for the team. The veterans are also very emotional.

He is on the side of the "old school".

So he changed places with Tonini without saying a word.

The change of positions between Tonini and Lopez, and the choice to face Farias, was seen by everyone, including players and coaches.

But no one said anything.

Everyone thinks this is normal.

The relationship between Tonini and Farias is not good, they are in direct competition.

Tonini didn't want Farias to be too relaxed in training, and tried every means to make trouble for the opponent. They all understood this idea.

Farias saw it too.

He hummed in his heart:

Why did he take the initiative to let go of the starting lineup? It was clearly because of poor performance and physical injuries, and it was just a step down for himself. 'Considering the overall situation of the team'... It sounds nice, don't you still feel very upset now?

※※※

Farias got the ball at his feet and faced Tonini who was waiting in front of him.

He looked at the opponent who had lowered his center of gravity and was almost lying on the ground, sneered in his heart, and then used his left foot to push the football to the outside.

But as soon as he pushed the ball away, he knocked the football back with the inside of his left foot!

Then he kicked the ball with the outer instep of his right foot, making a gesture to turn the ball inward.

At the same time, he didn't look at the football, but fixed his eyes on Tonini.

If Tonini pounces to the inside, then the outside instep of his right foot is just a feint, and he will not actually touch the football.

He would then quickly switch to the inside of his right foot and push the ball directly into the penalty area behind Tonini.

But Tonini was unmoved by Farias' series of fake moves, and he continued to stay in the middle.

Farias saw that his intention was guessed by Tonini, so he simply "fake it for real"-the outer instep of his right foot really turned the football to the inside, and then started chasing the ball by himself!

Tonini seemed to have guessed that Farias would do this, so at the same time he dialed the ball, Tonini turned and cut across.

After Farias started, he hit Tonini's back, fell to his knees, and Tonini broke the football away.

When Ion, who had rushed up to make a response, saw this scene, he spread his hands and shouted in complaint.

Seeing Farias deflated, Ion was actually very happy. But he couldn't brazenly applaud Tonini, so he could only "curve to save the country" and "yin and yang weirdness" by expressing his dissatisfaction with Farias:

Rubbish! The ball was intercepted so easily, and I made my trip for nothing!

※※※

Farias ran to the open to catch the ball this time, and when the football passed, Tonini also rushed over.

When Farias received the ball, he used the outer instep of his right foot to push the ball forward. He made all the movements of swinging his legs and waving his hands. Turn the football to the inside.

At the same time, he stopped and cut inside!

This time he finally got rid of Tonini smoothly.

But after he took two steps inside, Tonini chased up from the side again, still stuck in his inside line, preventing him from breaking through into the penalty area.

Farias swung his right foot as if to shoot directly into the far corner.

After the deceitful Tonini stretched out his foot to block, he dunked the ball into the penalty area.

Turn around at the same time!

After Tonini realized that the opponent was a fake move, he immediately retracted his legs and turned around.

Although his footsteps were a little staggering, he was still stuck inside Farias.

This time, Farias switched to swinging his left foot to make fake moves.

After shaking twice in a row, seeing the angle getting smaller and smaller, he chose to force his kick to shoot.

Tonini didn't stop the shot, but it hit the leg of central defender Antonio Bettia, who came up to defend, and bounced off the baseline.

Then Vukovic shouted dissatisfiedly in the middle: "What are you doing? Why don't you pass the ball?!"

※※※

Farias' shot on the left this time finally avoided the interception of all defensive players.

Neither Tonini nor the central defender or the goalkeeper could touch the ball he shot.

But he didn't score either.

The football sprinted towards the back corner against the turf, and then went wide of the back post...

After finishing the shot, he lost his balance. Farias, who was lying on the ground, saw this scene and punched the turf in front of him very uncomfortably.

※※※

Facing the joint defense of Tonini and the right back, Farias tried several methods, but failed to break through.

In the end, he could only pass the football, and he was looking for Hu Lai in the middle.

But because he has been entangled with the opponent's defensive player on the wing for too long, he has lost the best time to pass the ball now.

Hu Lai was surrounded by people.

The ball didn't even reach Hu Lai's feet or head accurately, and was cleared by the defender...

Hou Lai was also speechless, he said loudly to Farias: "Send it early!"

※※※

Of course, in the contest between Farias and Tonini, it is not always Farias who suffers.

There is also a scene where Tonini can only watch the other party leave after being teased by Farias.

Although some chances were wasted, Farias still scored two goals and sent an assist in the match.

In all fairness the performance isn't too bad.

But Farias was not satisfied with his performance.

Because according to his thinking, he should crush Tonini in all directions in this match, and let everyone know that he should be the absolute main force in this position.

what's the result?

As a result, he and Tonini, who played as a guest right midfielder, were very stalemate, back and forth...

If it wasn't because Tonini was not good at his right foot, he would have to pour the football to his left foot every time in the offense, which delayed a lot of things. Then Tonini's performance in the offense will be even better.

So although Farias' statistics are impressive, it feels like his performance is not as good as Tonini who has been put on the bench...

Some people may think that judging from the performance of this match, it is a wrong decision to let Farias wear the yellow vest that represents the starting qualification.

Farias put his hands on his hips, never trying to understand why Tonini behaved like this.

Didn't he get hurt again?

He cast a puzzled look on the blue muscle sticker on Tonini's thigh. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

At this moment, Hu Lai quickly caught up with Tonini, put his arms around his shoulders, looked down at his thighs, and asked with concern, "How is it? Is your leg okay?"

"It's okay." Tonini smiled and shook his head again and again, "I use this to prevent strain."

Hu Lai was stunned: "Oh. I have medicine for muscle strain here, which is specially formulated for me by an old doctor in my hometown. If you need it, I can give it to you. It has a particularly good effect on muscle strain .”

"I see, I won't be polite to you if necessary." Tonini said with a smile.

The two hugged each other like this, walking past Farias while talking and laughing.

Farias almost couldn't control his expression:

you are not hurt

Why don't you compete with me for the starting lineup if you are not injured?

What did you take the initiative to let when you were not injured?

Do you coax children? !
