I Just Can Score

Avran Grant's life course is legendary. He is already fifty-two years old, and he should have coached many teams normally.

But in fact, before the age of fifty, he didn't even leave Israel.

Grant is well-known in Israel. He has coached Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, especially coaching Maccabi Haifa, monopolizing the Israeli domestic championship. After he left to take over the Israeli national team, Maccabi Haifa still has Became the first Israeli team to enter the Champions League group stage.

The Israeli national team coached by Grant also achieved quite good results. In the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, the Israeli national team remained unbeaten, only second to France and Switzerland, and bid farewell to the German World Cup.

Although Grant failed to lead the team to the World Cup, it must be noted that he coached the "Israeli national team"!

Israel!

Does Israel have a football team?

Most of the outside world is not clear, Israel is too small too small, can lead Israel's football, unbeaten in the World Cup qualifiers, it is definitely a very dazzling achievement.

With this, Grant entered the European field of vision, and soon he got a heavyweight position-the football director of the Portsmouth club, and got the opportunity to work with the old coach Redknapp.

one year later.

With his profound understanding of professional football, Grant impressed the club chairman Abramovich and entered the Chelsea club as the sports director.

After Mourinho left the club, Grant rushed to take over the position of head coach.

This is Grant's resume.

From Grant's resume, it is difficult to see that he has the qualifications to become the coach of a big club, because most of his resume is in Israel, and he has not even coached a larger club, but his "interim coach" "Position, being able to be "temporary" until now is definitely a skill.

Grant's ability lies in his interpretation and persistence of football.

For example, now.

When Chelsea fell behind Newcastle United by two goals, most players felt that they needed to change their strategy and adjust their game against Newcastle United. After thinking about it, Grant came to the conclusion that there was no need to change. He said he gave All players, "There is no problem with our tactics! There is no problem with our style of play!"

"If he (Zhen Shaolong) can maintain this level for a long time,

No matter how we change, we will definitely lose! "

"Thinking about the feeling of the first half, we played a big advantage, but the opponent scored more goals, so what?"

"Football is like this, full of uncertainty. Go to the field and fight for the remaining 45 minutes before you can determine whether it is us or the opponent who loses!"

Grant's sonorous and powerful words made all the players feel uplifted.

Grant is different from Mourinho.

Mourinho is the kind of coach who uses his personal authority to directly tell the players what to do. He will not explain carefully, and the players just do what he says; Grant is the kind who patiently tells everyone, Explain the reason for doing this, with sincerity in the words, giving people the feeling that they hope to be understood.

The latter is more friendly and acceptable.

Even though Grant has no authority, most players still respect him, because they all feel that this is a capable coach, not someone who has no ability as they imagined, but just quit after a while.

————

Fifteen minutes passed quickly in halftime, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides came to the court again. With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially started.

Most people believe that Chelsea will make some adjustments, for example, they will strengthen the marking of Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong performed really well in the first half. With two goals and one assist, he almost single-handedly led his team to a strong lead over Chelsea.

If Zhen Shaolong is allowed to play, how can he play the game?

But in fact, it's not.

After a period of time in the second half, many people found that Chelsea did not adjust their tactics, how to play or how to play. In terms of overall play, they still used offense to suppress Newcastle United, and the defensive end did not change much.

This is a bit surprising, and it also caught Newcastle United a bit off guard.

Chelsea's offensive was quite gorgeous. Joe Cole and Malouda led the attack from the left and right, sending the ball into the penalty area continuously to create threats. Lampard in the middle is also a strong point. He occasionally gets a chance to shoot a long shot. The huge strength seems to be no different from shooting in the penalty area.

Newcastle United's goal was frequently threatened, and the weak defense soon became untenable.

In the 51st minute, Lampard shot directly from the outside and directly broke the goal.

In the 61st minute, Joe Korne cut a pass from the center to the penalty area. Pizarro passed the ball to Drogba. Drogba ran fast and kicked the ball directly into the goal with a straight kick.

3 to 3!

Chelsea tied the score!

The surrounding stands were full of shouts, and the game commentator also sighed, "First Lampard, then Drogba! Chelsea recovered two goals in a row, and the score became 3 to 3!"

"Chelsea's offensive is too fierce. They play the characteristics of linking the attack from the wing and the center. Lampard is very strong in the center. Joe Cole and Malouda continuously send the ball to the penalty area from the wing!"

"Newcastle United's defense seems a bit fragile. Among the two central defenders, Taylor is still too immature. He failed to seal Drogba's point just now. Rozenal even almost disappeared. He is probably sleepwalking. , have no idea what you're doing."

"Newcastle United were also suppressed very badly, most of it was Chelsea attacking."

"It's still early to tell the outcome, but Chelsea's strong performance and scoring two goals in a row can indeed give people more confidence!"

"..."

When Chelsea celebrated their goal, Newcastle United was a little depressed.

Zhen Shaolong is one of them.

The gap between the three goals in the first half was already huge. Unexpectedly, Chelsea was not hindered and maintained a suppressive offensive. The team's defense was so weak that the opponent scored two goals in a row.

No matter how many goals you score, you can't help conceding consecutive goals in the backcourt!

Now that the opponent has tied the score, Zhen Shaolong suddenly realized that his countermeasures are very lacking. After using up "Kill" and "Strike", he can only rely on ordinary skills to score goals.

"Precognition"?

"Skills"?

Zhen Shaolong shook his head continuously. The effects of "Precognition" and "Skills" are also good, but they need specific scenes to be effective.

"It seems that we can only fight recklessly!"

he secretly thought.

At present, Chelsea is playing well and has scored two goals in a row. If they continue to score in good form, they will lose no matter how hard they fight.

Zhen Shaolong is not the head coach, so he does not need to consider issues such as defense and restrictions. All he needs to do is try his best to score goals.

Then Zhen Shaolong worked harder.

run.

scramble.

In the constant running, try to cooperate with your teammates, try to run out of open space to find opportunities, but it is not easy to find opportunities through hard work.

Because of defense.

Chelsea's defense is indeed difficult. The midfielders are full of big-name players. Big-name players are not only famous, but also have excellent personal ability and rich experience. Any player in the midfield can bring him huge benefits. pressure.

But still have to fight!

If you fight, you will have a chance, if you don't fight, you will have no chance at all.

Zhen Shaolong not only fought alone, but also led the entire midfield to fight.

Chelsea's solid defense does not put pressure on him alone. Every Newcastle United player can feel the pressure during the offensive process, especially the midfielders, who need to confront Chelsea's powerful midfield head-on. Under the pressure of pressing, the opposing midfielders Lampard and Mikel are all strong players who can attack, defend and run. The two formed a solid line of defense. Joe Cole and Malouda on the wing Coupled with the support of Pizarro who retreated, it was difficult for Newcastle United to take advantage of the midfield competition.

In addition, defense is also very important.

Chelsea scored two goals in a row. Newcastle United must also pay attention to defense, and they need to contain a certain amount of energy. Often Chelsea attack twice, and Newcastle United only have one chance to attack.

It is not easy to take advantage of the rare opportunities to score goals. Zhen Shaolong found that the strikers had no chance, so he simply retreated continuously and went to the back to find his teammates for the ball. But it was too difficult for the midfielder to get the ball and find opportunities. He could only cooperate with his teammates. While assisting the overall offensive, slowly run forward.

This worked a little bit.

Perhaps the reason lies in Chelsea's "special attention" to Zhen Shaolong. When Zhen Shaolong gets the ball, even in the midfield position, the opponent will give priority to defending him.

In the 78th minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong received a pass from the center line and moved forward. Lampard immediately gave up marking Button and rushed over to press him.

Zhen Shaolong immediately passed it on to Button.

After running forward for more than ten meters, Barton passed the ball back again. Zhen Shaolong ran two steps back and kicked the ball to Gremi.

Gremi glanced at the field in front of him, and immediately sent a kick to Nzobia on the wing.

N'Zobia showed incredible pace as he flicked past Ferreira in an explosive start before delivering a brilliant cross from the outside of the box.

middle!

Owen!

The chasing boy took the best position. He was squeezed by Terry and still had a half-position advantage. Using this half-position, Owen caught the point accurately and volleyed directly at the ball!

"Boom!"

The football made contact with the feet, made a loud noise, and then quickly turned and rolled towards the goal.

Stick the earth!

Although it was just a shot with one foot on the ground, the football rolled very fast and the angle was a bit tricky, so it was impossible for the goalkeeper to complete the save.

pity!

Not a good angle!

Cech also had no time to react, but the football rolled past his feet. Almost subconsciously, he stretched out his feet to block the path of the ball.

The football hit Cech's leg and popped!

"Hula..."

Fans screamed in fear from the surrounding stands, but the crisis was not resolved, because another player wearing a red and blue stripe jersey had already rushed to the position, and he calmly pushed the ball towards the ball.

Everyone who saw this scene only needed to look at the number of the jersey to know the result.

Number thirteen!

really!

The football rushed into the bottom corner of the goal without any suspense, and goalkeeper Petr Cech failed to make any response.

"The ball went in—!"

"Goooooooooooooooal!!!" The game commentator uttered the highest and longest cry since the beginning of the game, because the goal was so critical, "Zhen Shaolong! Zhen Shaolong! He sent the ball into the bottom corner accurately, completing his personal victory at Stanford. Bridge's hat and help Newcastle United regain the lead over Chelsea!"

"amazing!"

"It's a fantastic goal!"

"With Newcastle United so passive, the chances to attack are very limited, but Zhen Shaolong can still help the team score goals!"

"This is Zhen Shaolong!"

"He stands on the playing field, almost born to score goals!"

Amid the shouts of the narrator, Zhen Shaolong raised his hands high, with firmness and determination on his face, and shouted loudly, "Ah~~~~"

If possible, he really wanted to yell, "I can score goals by myself!"

"see it?"

"Just now is the proof!"

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong was still very reserved, he only uttered a loud cry to release the excitement in his heart.

beside.

Owen twirled his hair, his fingers brushed across his cheeks, revealing a bit of bitterness and sorrow. Recalling the past games and the goal in front of him, he suddenly thought of a question——

Every time he misses a shot, is it Zhen Shaolong who can score with a supplementary shot?

Zhen Shaolong shoots...

The only chance to make a follow-up shot was the first goal of the game. It is said that it is very possible, or was it 'deliberately' given to Gremi?

why?

If it can be explained once or twice, the statistics will be terrifying if the number of times increases!

"Is it really because... Zhen Shaolong has a way to increase luck? So he is luckier than everyone else?"

"Looks like... the Super Boys can't just be the second substitute!"

"I want to be the first substitute!"

While lamenting the depressing situation, Owen set a small goal for himself.

————

Zhen Shaolong's third goal made Chelsea feel very depressed. They had already tied the score. They expected to continue to score and win the final victory. They did not expect that the opponent could score.

3 to 4!

This score is not very friendly, especially when there are only ten minutes left in the game, maybe we can only seek a tie next time?

Just tie?

Chelsea looked at Newcastle United's celebration, looked at the score on the scoreboard, and couldn't be reconciled no matter how they thought about it. In their view, their own state and performance deserved the final victory, but they ended up falling behind their opponents.

Chelsea fans are not reconciled, but they can do nothing but pray that the team can quickly tie.

There is another person who is not reconciled, and that is Chelsea chairman Abramovich. He was still satisfied with Chelsea's consecutive goals before, and then the opponent completed another goal, and Chelsea fell behind again.

"He is very unusual!" Abramovich said suddenly.

Although he didn't mention his name, Arnesen understood the meaning and immediately followed up, "Yeah! He's really extraordinary. It's only the twentieth round of the league, and he has already scored thirty goals."

What Arneson said was not very accurate, it was thirty-one to be precise.

certainly.

This has nothing to do with the expression of meaning.

Abramovich did not continue the topic, but instead said, "Afran's level is still a little bit worse, he has not reached the standard of coaching Chelsea."

Arneson stopped talking.

If you have been in contact with Abramovich for a long time, you can have a certain understanding of his character. He is a result-oriented person, and he often only talks a few words when he is optimistic about a person.

Like now.

He was obviously optimistic about Zhen Shaolong, but Zhen Shaolong was not a Chelsea player, and he only asked a few questions, but he must have taken it to heart.

In Arneson's opinion, Grant's coaching is okay, and his level is considered good. Given him a period of time, he may be able to lead the team to achieve results, but Abramovich is a person who pays attention to results.

Now that Chelsea is behind the score, even if the players perform well and the tactics are well formulated, the reason for falling behind is that a single player of the opponent has exploded in his personal state, but falling behind is falling behind...

So Grant's level is not enough.

This is Abramovich, the famous Russian-Russian oligarch, a man who treats friends and admires himself, a generous rich man, and Chelsea's uncompromising club chairman.
