Super Marshal

Chapter 39



When the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, Valencia City stadium was boiling!

On the court, some players are excitedly celebrating the team's good start, while others are holding their heads in displeasure, like a defeated rooster.

The same is true on the sidelines.

Although it was just promoted to the first team this summer, the two managers' reactions were quite different after the game.

In front of the coaching area of the home team, the new coach of Levante, Granero, is embracing his assistants with a red face, unspeakable high spirited and boundless ambition.

In the coach's seat of the visiting team, the head coach of the visiting team Atletico Madrid, Zambrano is very green and dare not stand up.

In this way, he is avoiding the cameras of reporters and TV stations.

Valencia City stadium scoreboard, showing a surprising score, four to one!

In international practice, the home team is in the front and the visiting team is in the back.

It's a complete fiasco!

At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid showed a strong desire to win. They turned away from home and pressed ahead. They successfully used the subtle cooperation of two centers, Kiko and Salva, to break Levante's goal and take the lead.

But after the lead, Atletico Madrid did not slow down, but continued to press on, intending to expand the score.

But at this time, Levante launched a counterattack, striker Kaiku seize the opportunity, scored the equaliser goal.

However, Zambrano did not choose to retreat, but continued to ask the players to increase their offensive investment.

On the other hand, Levante defends firmly in his own half and adopts the tactics of steady defense and counterattack.

Finally, in the 26th minute, Levante seized the opportunity again. After Kaiku's success in anti offside, he broke into the penalty area and crossed the goal to help his teammates score and reverse the score.

Losing the ball in a row, Atletico Madrid is unstable.

At half-time, Zambrano angrily denounced the performance of the players and demanded that the attack be strengthened in the second half to level or even reverse the score as soon as possible.

However, it was unexpected that Levante's defensive tenacity was unexpected, but the counterattack was extremely sharp. In the 52nd and 68th minutes, two counterattacks resulted in goals, and finally locked the score to 4-1.

This is a result that no one would think of before the game!

But it happened!

Zambrano sat in the coach's seat, and even when the players stepped off the court, he didn't go to shake hands with them as usual.

From the players that distrust, doubt, and even blame, let him out of the anger.

"You bastards don't work hard. Do you think I can't see it?"

"If you work harder, the back line will be so easy to break?"

"If you fight a little bit more on the court, can Levante get the chance so easily?"

"Now that you've lost the game, you're going to blame me instead? Doubt me? "

"Damn, I'm not finished with you!"

…………

…………

Although Zambrano desperately tried to avoid the camera, his ferocious expression because of anger was captured by the live TV camera and presented to all fans.

This is the disadvantage of live broadcasting!

Naturally, we can see the high cold.

"Zambrano is too anxious and too determined to win!"

This is Gao Han's own opinion after watching the whole match live on TV.

"Well." Cantarello also agreed, "the overall strength of the first team is still better than Levante, if the opening lead, Zambrano can appropriately slow down the rhythm, it is estimated that Levante want to fight back, it is not so easy."

But the high cold doesn't think so.

"I think the most important thing is the aging of the defence and the mentality of the players

Atletico Madrid's back line is aging, which is a serious problem.

In fact, this problem has always existed in the past few years.

Although the style of Atletico Madrid is relatively simple and rough, in fact, it is a typical Spanish team. It attaches great importance to the attack of the team. It can even be said that the tactics of Atletico Madrid are carried out around the forwards.

From Kiko and penef in the double, to Vieri, to Hasselbaink, and now to Salva.

In the tactics of Atletico Madrid, the strong center always occupies a crucial position.

Therefore, even if the relegation, sold Hasselbaink, Atletico Madrid will immediately try every means to dig the best Spanish shooter Salva.

With the strong center to suppress the other side's center back, threatening the other side's goal, and then through the forward movement of the back line, as well as the overall oppression of the midfield, the other side will be firmly suppressed, so as to maximize the advantage of the strong center.

But there are two risks to such tactics.

First, the back line moves forward, which has higher requirements for the defenders, especially to achieve fast up and down.

But now Atletico Madrid's back line is full of veteran players, obviously unable to adapt to such tactics.

Zambrano sticks to the team's traditional playing style and does not adjust his tactics according to the characteristics of the players.

In the 88th minute, at the end of the game, the red card of veteran centre back Fernandez is the best example.

"There's another point, and most importantly, that the players are not happy

Alpine shook his head, "at least in front of the team pressure, I can't see the players do their best."

The team pressure in the middle and front court is the foundation of the traditional way of playing in Atletico Madrid.

Missing this link, the defensive line rashly pressure on, but allow the other side to easily out of the ball, that is pure death.

So, in the game, Levante counterattack, almost a hit a quasi!

"I heard that after Zambrano was promoted to the first team, he was very unhappy with a group of veteran players in the team." Sergio Garcia said with a sneer.

"Oh?" Gao Han then remembered that his assistant and Zambrano seemed to have a quarrel.

"I heard that, too." Garcia shrugged and said scornfully.

"After Zambrano entered the first team, he put forward higher requirements for the players in terms of training and tactics. The veteran, led by Captain Aguilera, responded on behalf of the team. As a result... He went his own way."

Alpine nodded, which is really like Zambrano's style.

"Moreover, Zambrano said in his first press conference after he promoted the first team that he would vigorously promote the reform of youth in the team, especially in the back line."

After hearing this, Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "he is so conceited!"

There is no doubt that Zambrano's performance in the second team is brilliant, but it has nothing to do with coaching the first team.

Sometimes there are things that can be done but cannot be said.

It's like he's going to be younger, right? Does it make sense?

Yes, very right, very reasonable.

But the problem is, if you say it so openly, the media and fans will be happy. They think you are good, but what will the veterans think? What do you think?

Professional players are also human beings and have all the emotions of ordinary people.

In dealing with this issue, Zambrano is really clumsy.

Perhaps he had thought of it, but he was too optimistic about his prestige.

Optimistic, he felt that even if he said it, the players would still work hard for him.

But is that possible?

…………

…………

The first round defeat of the League will soon affect Atletico Madrid.

The next morning, when the alpine arrived at the sports city, it was obvious that they could feel the change on the face of the club from top to bottom, from the security guard at the gate to the staff in the sports city.

Give people a very depressed, very depressed feeling.

When the cold came to the training area of the youth team, we saw the equipment manager of the team moving things to the training area of the first team.

"Hey, Anthony." Cold passing, casually say hello.

Anthony lillarandi looked up, saw the cold, squeezed out a stiff smile, "Hi."

"Didn't the first team rest today?" Gao Han asked strangely.

Lillarandi shook his head. "It's customary to rest, but... Zambrano changed his plan."

"Oh." Gao Han nodded.

"I won't tell you. They are in a hurry to set up the training ground."

Watching lillarandi move things to leave, alpine far to see the first team training ground.

Inside, Zambrano was directing the coaching staff to set up the training ground, but strangely, no one spoke.

This is professional football!

Very cruel, very realistic!

But Alpine has no spare time to pay attention to others, because he knows that if he loses, he will be in a worse situation than Zambrano.

Even at that time, the first one to attack him was Zambrano!

He would never allow Zambrano's mistake to happen to himself!

So, he wants to win!

…………

…………

Atletico Madrid beat Toledo 5-0 in the first round, and won the top position in the first group of the second league, but it was not stable.

Second in the table is Real Madrid's second team.

This team's performance in the first round is also quite eye-catching, home with Portillo's hat trick, 4-0 defeat fuenlavlada, also made a good start to the season.

Xihong athletic team 2 also beat Kodar 3-1 at home, Pino scored a goal.

After a round of the league, Atletico Madrid has also collected first-hand information. In addition, cantarello is familiar with the second league. According to the experience he has provided, alpine can preliminarily judge the strength of the opponent.

If there is no accident, the real challenge to the second team of Atletico Madrid should be the second team of Real Madrid, the second team of sporting Xihong, and the first round big win, and last season's good performance of Zamora and Orense.

As for Toledo, although the first round defeat, but cantarello's evaluation of this team is still very high, that as long as the adjustment, Toledo will still be the most powerful contender for this season's group championship.

On the contrary, fuenlavlada, alcocon and La Coruna were not optimistic because of their poor performance in the first round.

In the second round, Atletico Madrid will head north to bolasello in the south of Xihong to challenge the promoted team.

This is a semi professional team that has been established for more than 80 years. Before that, all of them were involved in the low-level League. They were promoted to the second league for the first time this season. They drew their opponents in the first round away, without any information.

Because of this, I dare not be careless at all.

Because he knew that the more such an opponent, the easier it was to capsize in the gutter.

In the cold concentrate on preparing for the second round of the League at the same time, Zambrano is also actively preparing.

This time, the two teams played on the same day.

The first-team opponent is verva.

Interestingly, last season, verva ranked 21st and had been relegated.

However, Atletico Madrid dropped from La Liga to La Liga, and the second team of Atletico Madrid, who was originally in La Liga, was forced to drop to the second league.

As a result, lead to the original should be relegated to welva, but instead stayed in the second division.

And everyone also thinks that the home game against vilva will be a great opportunity for Atletico Madrid to walk out of the shadow of the first round defeat.

Therefore, this battle has attracted the attention of all members of the club.

On the contrary, the second team, no one.
