Volume 3 Red Forest Chapter 71 Pepe (I)
The young man Copelle Lavillan Lima Ferreira, or Pepe, stood outside the crowd and looked at a man and a woman in front of him with some strange looks. The girl was very tall and beautiful, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times. The man claims to be the head coach of a club in the English league...... Pepe has a lot of face in his head, is he really the manager of "Nottingham Forest"?
Pepe's game was over, and they won. Just as he was about to move on to the next challenge, the man in front of him walked up with a business card.
Next, he casually found a substitute and ran out to "talk in detail" with the man.
The head coach of a European professional football club, looking for a professional player, what else can he do for it, needless to say, Pepe also knows it in his heart.
"That, Mr. Donn......"
Don waved his hand for him not to say anything, then gestured to a row of parasols on the beach in the distance. "Let's sit and talk."
The three men sat down and waited for three glasses of juice.
Don took advantage of the time to think carefully about Pepe's current situation.
As a loyal FM series player, it's impossible not to know about Pepe, the most physical central defender in Fm07. Don has a habit of going to the Internet to collect all the news about the player after seeing how great a player is in the game, so as to get a better understanding of the player, and when he looks back at the game, he has a more sense of substitution.
So. When Pepe was not known to the whole world, in the world of FM07, Don seemed to have known Pepe for a long time, he knew this person's resume, he knew his past in Porto, and he also knew the name of his first club in the big 6 Europe. So, of course, he also knows that the current Pepe is the time to be down.
Serving three glasses of juice and leaving, Shania drank quietly through a straw alone, she had little interest in the conversation between the two men, and had to look at the crowd and the scenery of the sea in the distance.
"What about me. Don't like to talk nonsense. Donn looked at Pepe, "Nottingham Forest have qualified for next season's European Champions League, Hierro is retired, we are going to find a defender who can replace him, I am optimistic about you, Pepe." ”
Pepe was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the other party was looking for him Bacheng was this kind of thing, he didn't expect to say it so directly. And. There was a name that made him a little excited.
"Hierro? Real Madrid's Hierro? ”
Donn smiled: "It's Nottingham Forest's ...... No, it used to be, and now he's retired. The Forest team need to find a replacement elsewhere. Do you understand, Pepe, I feel like you and Hierro have a lot in common. ”
Pepe's idol is Hierro, Don said. Very right on Pepe Road.
"Tall, strong, technically excellent, explosive...... These are very similar to the young Hierro. The only thing you need to improve is the ability to assist with long balls, and Hierro is a good player in attack. ”
Pepe frowned, he felt that Don was on point. "Ugh. I'm a centre-back and a lot of times I have to be dragged behind. Although ......"
"You're a striker, aren't you?" Don asked suddenly.
"Yes." Pepe nodded, "First the striker, then the midfielder. Later, he became a defender. ”
Donn laughed: "That's how many Brazilian defenders come from. Seeing that Pepe might misunderstand that he was laughing at him, he laughed and said, "Every one of them came like this." Almost all of the best defenders. Lucio, Cafu...... I think the Brazilian players have a sense of forward movement in their bones, even if he is playing as a goalkeeper, why do you think that the defenders have to be dragged behind? ”
"Of course, uh...... That's what the coach asked. ”
"Actually, I think if you think of Hierro as your idol, then you should learn how he attacks from the back. I worked with him for a year at Forest and to be honest, he taught me a lot of lessons as a manager......"
Of course, there are factors in Tang's deliberate exaggeration, but Hierro did give Donn a lot of help and inspiration in some places, and Donn used to think that the central defenders should be at the back, except for set-pieces in the front court to go up to participate in the attack, and at other times to focus on safety. Unless the situation is particularly unfavourable and the situation is broken, he will move the centre-back forward – something he did twice in his first season with Forest.
After Hierro arrived at the Forest team, although his body could no longer keep up, the awareness of boldly stepping forward when he had the opportunity to show in training still benefited Donn a lot. What is the effect of a central defender, who everyone thinks should stay honestly at the back, and suddenly dribble forward in the game, or counterattack with a long drive?
The opponent's defense is in a mess, and your own offense is more hidden, most
The probability of success is higher. And as a defender who observes the situation from behind, he has a better grasp of the open space, he can always see the space that the frontcourt players can't see, and then as long as he can have a good long ball ability, he can almost form a stunner.
This direct attack by the central defender saves the midfield, does not waste time, and has a sudden side, making the opponent unguardable. At Real Madrid, Hierro was not only praised for his defense at his peak, but also benefited from his offensive talent. Before Raul, Hierro even became the top scorer for the Spanish national team, while his position was at centre-back. He was perhaps the most goal-scoring centre-back in world football of his time.
The two men, Donn and Pepe, chatted about how the centre-backs can get involved in the attack on the picturesque Copacabana beach, and they also had a lot of fun and a lot of feelings......
Shania was bored, and the straw in her mouth made a purring and gasping sound - the juice was finished. She first looked around looking for a waiter, but at this time there were more and more people who came to rest, and she didn't find it for a while. She caught a glimpse of the cup that had been placed in front of Donn, full, and she didn't drink a sip!
She rolled her eyes, reached over the cup, inserted the straw in, picked up two straws, and sucked aloud with the pleasure of revenge.
Her unladylike way of drinking juice finally caught Donn's attention.
He turned to look at Shania who was pretending to be a monster, and then looked down at the empty cup in front of him. Then he smiled at Pepe, who expressed understanding and smiled as well.
Both of them realized that this conversation should end as well. Pepe didn't agree to Done's transfer, and since the conversation began, Done mentioned it, and they haven't talked about it at all.
"Uh, I think I should ...... My friends are still waiting for me. Pepe stood up and pointed to a few people in the distance, who had just played the ball with him.
Donn nodded in understanding. Chatting happily, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming to Pepe.
Just as he got up to say goodbye, Pepe suddenly turned around and asked, "Why do you know that my idol is Hierro?" I don't remember telling you about it, Mr. Donn. ”
This...... Don knew that it was his previous memories that were in trouble, so he could only find an excuse that seemed unconvincing, but how to understand Pepe's personal excuse: "Don't you think...... When we talk together, it's like old friends who have known each other for a long time? ”
Pepe grinned, then waved, "Goodbye, Mr. Donne." It's a pleasure to be able to meet you. ”
"Goodbye, Pepe. Me too. ”
"Goodbye, beautiful young lady." Pepe didn't forget to say goodbye to Shania.
Shania was looking around as if she was not interested in the conversation between men, but when she saw signs of saying goodbye to Don and Pepe, she pricked up her ears and eavesdropped. Seeing Pepe say goodbye to her, she stood up happily and waved: "Goodbye, Pepe!" ”
Seeing Pepe return to his companions, Don turned to look at Shania, and without saying anything, just looked at her, his face full of smiles, as bright as the sun overhead.
Seeing his expression, Shania sighed: "I had already proposed to go on vacation to the United States!" ”
Don knew that it was his fault that he had snubbed Shania. Men, don't be afraid to make mistakes, but dare to take responsibility! So he offered to invite Shania to dinner.
"Not hungry! I'm full of water! ”
Looking at the two empty cups, and Shania with a straight face. Tang En also sat down with a straight face: "Then I'll drink with you......" He waved his hand and wanted to call for a waiter, but was stopped by Shanya with both hands: "Okay, okay, if you drink it again, it will become a fruit." I know a restaurant has a good barbecue, you please me! ”
Hearing Shania say this, the sun returned to Donne's face.
"Alright, don't be angry, Shania. I promise to stay with you during your time in Brazil until you get bored......"
"I won't!" Shania retorted. The second half of the sentence she buried in her heart:
Never......
Don and Shania had a good day in the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro and didn't return until late at night. Sania's parents didn't seem to care about Sanya's crazy play, perhaps because they didn't have to worry about having Don by his side. Perhaps because they felt that Aunt Lane, who was stricter than them in England, was not a bad thing to let Shania relax during the holidays, after all, Shania was only a fifteen-year-old child. The two of them are busy with work and socializing, and with Donne, a "free nanny", accompanying them 24 hours a day, they may not be able to be happy.
