Chapter Fifty-Eight: Before the Devil's Schedule
The next morning, Kayla was in the arms of Old Ray and slowly opened her eyes. looked at Lao Lei, who was still asleep, with a soft and mischievous smile on his face. picked up his long hair and stretched it in the direction of Lao Lei's nose. After sneezing, old Ray, who woke up, staged a goosebump-inducing fight with Kayla in the room.
Not to mention the sweet interaction between these two people, the outside world is lively because of Lao Lei. With their dominant performance against Sporting Lisbon, the reporters collectively changed direction, changed the questioning and disbelief of Lao Lei some time ago, and began to praise Lao Lei again, how to exaggerate how to come to the report. Of course, there are some newspapers that are black and black, but they can't make any big waves.
What a genius back, the top hat of the commander of Portugal for the next 10 years, does not want money to buckle the head of old Lei. Of course, there are also some more authoritative newspapers that carefully analyze Lao Lei's performance in this game. They believe that Lao Lei showed a breakthrough and long pass that he did not have in the past in this game. Especially the ** Rui Costa-style long-distance assists on the ground are even more talked about by them. They said that Lao Lei showed an extraordinary speed of progress, and it was simply that he could improve in every game and make up for his shortcomings. In their opinion, Lao Lei is worthy of a ticket to the Korea-Japan World Cup, not to make Lao Lei have any contribution, but to serve the next generation of Portugal's national team.
But I believe that even if the old Lei Zhilu Dao, he will not take it too seriously. After all, from the beginning of the season to the present, Lao Lei can be regarded as coming over in the air bombardment of the media, and now Lao Lei has been able to calmly deal with the affairs of the media. For him, the media is very much like the unscrupulous traders he met on the streets in his previous life, as long as they can increase their income, they will use any means to say anything. Lao Lei treats the media with the mentality that you can't bite me, of course, if the media crosses the line, he will not give up with Lao Lei's temper.
After Kayla hastily accompanied Lao Lei to breakfast, she immediately flew back to London and rushed back to the crew to report. Before leaving, she and Lao Lei staged a live bloody drama in the airport, calling me on time every day, and not allowed to see other women. Two young people who have just confirmed their relationship, in reluctance and a deep French wet kiss, say goodbye.
Ray, who had sent Kayla away, looked a little sullen and flew back to Leiria with the team. On the plane, Lao Lei closed his eyes, pretended to sleep, and entered the system to check what he had gained yesterday. Lao Lei looked at his total soul points and suddenly came to his senses, his soul points showed 2 points, and he thought that he finally saw the soul points that turned back. In addition, he saw the additional rewards he had received, as well as the reward for overcompleting the mission, increasing his long pass to 70 points, and the reward for earning a passing skill: croquettes for his solo clearance yesterday.
Seeing this outstanding skill, Lao Lei was still very excited. After all, you can break through the other party on the court, but as a veteran in this area, Lao Lei has a feeling of addiction. At this time, there happened to be a croquette skill, and Lao Lei said that it was very good and very interested.
However, he didn't immediately click on this skill, but first went to the exchange system function to take a look, he had been coveting this function for a long time. As soon as I opened it, it really didn't disappoint Lao Lei, there was everything, and it was dazzling, especially some of Lao Lei drooled.
"Deception Card: With this card, you can cover the referee's eyes once while the effect is in effect. Whatever the host does, the referee will turn a blind eye. Effective time: 5 minutes. Soul Points Required: 30. (Can only be used once per month)
Enraged Card: After using this card, you can choose any person on the court, and that person will immediately be in a state of rage for 10 minutes. Soul Points Required: 20. ………“
There are also some skills and various cards in the back. However, there are some of them that have nothing to do with football, which directly makes Lao Lei's eyes straight, "**Card: You can choose a beautiful woman at will, and it happens in reality**." "What else are there kiss cards, ** cards, but the soul TV required is still very high, Lao Lei can't help but sigh that he really wants a junior, it's not cheap.
Looking at his pitiful two points, Lao Lei couldn't help but sigh, he was still poor. At the same time, I can't help but sigh that this dark back system is really insidious and vicious, and it will do everything, but I like it. The corners of Lao Lei's mouth flowed out with a trace of crystal, with a cheap smile.
On the schedule, Leiria will have a double week next week. Away to Rio Ave in the league, a mid-to-upper middle team, it will be another difficult game. Then on the fourth day after this game, the opponent in the Portuguese Cup, Morelence of the Portuguese League, is the first in the Portuguese Liga standings at this stage. It's a good sign for Leiria, who hasn't met a Super League team yet.
It was a challenge for Mourinho, after all, it was the first time he had led a team for such a long time, and it was a two-front play in a small team like Leiria. Andrea's injury and Ivan's cramping off have already sounded the alarm for Mourinho, and the problem of Leiria's poor squad has become apparent. If you don't control it well, there may be a wave of injuries and illnesses, and then it will be a disaster.
At this point, rotation is certainly the best way to do it, but it's rare to be able to use it on the bench in Leiria. The era of using a lineup to fight the world is slowly gone. Mourinho can only wait until the winter break to see if he can get some funds to strengthen the squad at that time. Another way is to choose to give up some games and events, but Mourinho, who is still young and vigorous, wants to give up some events so early, he is hesitant and unwilling. Of course, the facts will prove that when there is continuous judgment, it will be chaotic. However, this is also inevitable, in addition to the fact that Lao Lei is a rookie player, Mourinho is actually at the beginning of his coaching career, and making mistakes at this time can lead to future growth.
In the few days after returning to Leiria, in addition to his daily training, Lao Lei had an additional daily arrangement, which was to talk to Kayla on the phone. Kayla's statement about this is to watch this stupid big man and not let him attract bees and butterflies, in England Kayla has heard a lot of interesting stories about football players off the field. In order to keep Lao Lei, an innocent big man, from falling, she has to spare an hour every day to call her, but it's a pity that she doesn't know that there is a saying in the Celestial Empire called **.
In addition, Lao Lei also practiced fried croquettes by the way, an extraordinary skill. It's as simple as its name. Two feet are compared to two chopsticks, a soccer ball is compared to a meatball, and a croquette is a soccer ball colliding between the feet. This is used to shake the defender's center of gravity, and then break through the moment the center of gravity moves. It's a very ordinary and basic trick, and it's useful. However, few people can make a name for themselves, including Romario, a lone wolf, who uses this trick to be both ornamental and practical. To put it simply, it's an easy-to-learn move.
In the system, when Lao Lei clicked on this skill for the first time, he found that this skill would not be learned independently, but should be comprehended, trained, and improved by himself. In this regard, the explanation given by the system is that the success rate cannot be specified by data, unlike predicting the defense, everything is decided by the host itself.
In this way, Lao Lei practiced fried croquettes in the training place given by the system. Among them, there are some high-voltage stimuli, and Lao Lei is already familiar with this. This is a very demanding foot frequency of the pass, and the first training content that Lao Lei received was to increase the frequency and success rate of the ball colliding back and forth between his feet. The result of failure in training is the acceptance of a high-voltage motor.
After a few days of hard practice, Lao Lei reached the level of "first glimpse of the door" for this action. On the training ground, Lao Lei also began to use this action, and actual combat is always the fastest way to improve. At the beginning, Lao Lei used fried croquettes and scared everyone. Lao Lei's past passes can often only be occasional assaults, deceiving others with suddenness, or bullying tired opponents in the final stage of the game with the strength and speed brought by the devil's muscles. And now, he's starting to incorporate the dredging into his regular arsenal, and the rate of progress has shocked his teammates.
Mourinho naturally saw it, but he didn't have time to be relieved. He was stumped by the rest of the schedule, and he was not prepared to start Ivan in the next game for safety reasons. Because now more and more Portuguese Super League teams are starting to play against Leiria, adopting a defensive counter-attacking strategy. The defensive action has also become bigger, and in this case, if Ivan starts the game, there is a big hidden danger.
The only good news is that Andre has received permission from the team doctor to play. However, he has just recovered from injury, and his condition is difficult to guarantee. At such times, Mourinho made a decision to change the team's tactical formation and line-up on the fly. In Brito's opinion, this decision was too risky, after all, the team was already familiar with the current tactics, and the effect was agreed upon. At this point, it would be too risky to change temporarily. Brito's advice was to abandon the Portuguese Cup competition and specialise in the league. However, Mourinho still insisted on giving it a try, and he was unwilling to give up so much. In fact, one of the thoughts in his heart was that the probability of him staying in Leiria next season was very small, and Mendes had already told him that Porto were interested in him.
This season, he wants to bring a title to Leiria. To outsiders, this is crazy, after all, there has never been a title in the history of Leiria in the Portuguese Super League. However, Mourinho is just going to be the first man. The league championship, in Mourinho's opinion, is too risky, as long as there are more than two injuries in his main squad at the same time, it will greatly affect the team's fighting ability, and the results will plummet. And the championship of the Portuguese Cup is more suitable for your own goals.
In the next game, when Ivan was not available, Mourinho decided to push Andre up front and play a striker, which was actually the number nine and a half position of the shadow striker. Then let the old Ledodo plug in, and the game at Sporting Lisbon gave Mourinho such an idea. This makes Leiria's frontcourt more flexible and versatile, but what is weakened is the ability to take a kick at the goal.
With Mourinho's current authority in the team, this decision was easily passed, and it was a gamble that would allow Leiria to make a qualitative improvement and breakthrough in his style of play and personnel rotation.
Later in training, Leiria began to practice this tactic until the Devil's schedule arrived before the winter break.
