The Road to a Football God

The first half of the game ended with a score of 1-1.

After leaving the court, Maher sat with Gilbert to replenish water and stretch together to buffer physical strength.

"Very tired."

Gilbert looked bitter and sighed: "The pace is too fast. Not only do you need to run all the time, but you also need to concentrate all the time. The physical and mental pressure is very high."

"You can write a paper."

Maher had the same feeling, but he just teased him first, "On the physical and mental consumption of fast-paced confrontation."

Gilbert rolled his eyes, and neither of them said anything. After more than ten minutes, they returned to the court.

"Beep!"

A whistle sounded, and the second half of the game officially began.

Maher was fully focused and ran tirelessly again.

He knew very well that if he kept running like this, he would most likely have cramps after 75 minutes, but he still didn't manage his physical strength.

As I said, the first impression is very important.

He wanted to fight for a short highlight moment, instead of allocating physical strength to complete the game.

After running for a while, he found that after the start of the second half, the players became more familiar with each other and had a better understanding of each other.

The pace of the game accelerated again, and the ball was rotated rapidly.

Each player had to constantly change his role, sometimes running quickly towards the gap, and sometimes suddenly turning back to help his teammates defend.

"Bang!"

In the 64th minute of the game, the yellow team midfielder Januhans suddenly made a long pass. He accurately found Ward on the right side, who stopped the ball and rushed into the penalty area, facing the defense line.

Before the defenders surrounded him, he observed the position of center forward Evans and made a pass.

"Bang!" Evans shook his right foot sharply and pushed the ball into the dead corner, "Shua!"

2 to 1!

The overall strength was stronger, and the yellow team with the leading ball possession rate deserved to lead again!

"Beautiful!"

Maher took advantage of his teammates and did not hesitate to praise himself. He ran towards Evans and his team and entered the celebration camp.

......

After the restart, the red team launched a counterattack.

But after several unsuccessful attacks, they fell into a disadvantageous state again.

At this time, head coach Kevin also replaced the two players on the bench. He took off the center forward Evans of the yellow team and a central defender of the red team.

When Maher saw the two new players, he felt moved and had confidence in his ability to play data again.

Kevin almost made a substitution that was both positive and negative and beneficial to the yellow team's cross from the wing.

He took off Evans, who was not good at heading, and replaced him with a center forward who was over 1.9 meters tall; he also replaced the defender of the red team who was better at heading with a center defender who was over 1.8 meters tall.

Is it to give the center forward a chance to show his characteristics?

"I can just meet it, and show my characteristics at the same time."

Maher smiled, ran more actively, and his desire for crosses from the bottom reached the highest level.

With such a center forward standing in the middle, his crosses became much easier.

As long as the ball is fast enough and not directly picked up by the goalkeeper, and the height is high enough, the opportunity will naturally appear!

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the frustration of several crosses being cleared was gone, and he had hope again.

"Bang!"

His next cross opportunity came in the 71st minute of the game. He did not create a goal, but created a successful header.

The center forward was not well prepared and jumped a little late, resulting in a weak header in the end, which was easily picked up.

However, the increase in the threat of the yellow team's cross after the substitution was immediate!

"Okay, brother, come on!"

The center forward gave a thumbs up to Maher and paid attention to the young man's pass.

Maher waved to him, turned around and saw that he seemed to be targeted by the opponent's side midfielder, and deliberately followed him.

In the 3-4-3 formation, the side defense is generally based on the recovery of two side midfielders.

If the side center back in the three-back defense is allowed to defend one-on-one, it means that the defense line has reached an extremely dangerous moment.

Maher has been facing this winger since the beginning of the game. Fortunately, the opponent has stronger offensive attributes and did not put much pressure on himself.

But now, it seems different.

"Lotten, you will remember my name."

Lotten has discovered Maher's threat to his own defense and no longer underestimates him.

This is a strong young midfielder who looks like the type with amazing core strength. He was also the one who tackled Maher at the beginning of the game.

Maher also introduced his name to him and was not too worried. As long as he did not give Lotten a one-on-one opportunity, there was still hope of passing the ball.

The opportunity occurred in the 78th minute of the game. The red team's midfielder intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack, rushing towards the yellow team's backcourt. The scene was spectacular.

But in the lateral transfer, the pass was too weak and was intercepted by the yellow team's midfielder Januhans.

The situation changed instantly!

"Catch the ball!"

Januhans passed the ball to Maher in the open space on the wing, and the latter immediately started to kill towards the bottom line with the ball.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The sound of spiked shoes stomping heavily on the grass was heard. It was Lorton who was chasing back quickly, trying to use his speed advantage to steal the ball from behind.

"Bang!" But he didn't expect that after noticing him chasing back, Maher slowed down, observed him, and then swaggered to pass the ball.

He didn't think about going down the bottom line, and exploded directly at 45 degrees behind the penalty area line!

The football rolled into the penalty area with an arc, and the yellow team's center forward's eyes flashed brightly. He first lowered his center of gravity, then jumped high, looked back at the moon, and headed the ball into the goal.

Under the gaze of everyone, the football flew towards the goal and finally touched the net with a "swish".

Here it comes again!

Three to one!

"Yeah...!!"

The yellow team's center forward screamed excitedly after landing, and then rushed to Maher who passed the ball to him, "Nice! Brother! Nice!"

Maher was also very happy. He got 1 goal and 1 assist. This time he couldn't pretend to be calm.

The two of them were familiar with each other. They jumped high and bumped their chests.

"You and I are indispensable."

Like a dragon and a phoenix, the two excitedly praised each other. Maher patted his shoulder and said with a mature look: "Congratulations."

Only Lorton was left with a depressed look on his face. He didn't expect that Maher would not play by the rules.

Don't most wingers like to lead the ball to the bottom line?

After this ball, Maher gradually lost his physical strength. The coaching staff off the court noticed this and sent Evans back to the court as a guest winger.

After Maher came down, he lay on the ground with a towel to stretch his leg muscles to avoid soreness tomorrow.

Jolson came up at some point, smiling, with no hidden thoughts, "You really gave me a big surprise, kid, 1 goal and 1 assist, great performance and data!"

"It would be great if it was in the English Championship."

Maher looked relieved, joking about the training match data, "Wouldn't the value increase by 100,000 directly?"

"At 17 years old, if you get 1 goal and 1 assist in the English Championship."

Jolson thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Transfer Germany immediately marked your value at 3 million euros."

3 million euros?

Maher raised his eyebrows and smiled, it sounded good, but it was a pity that this was not the English Championship.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, he looked back and found Mr. Gary Speed ​​coming over.

"Maher."

Gary Speed ​​smiled in return, in fact, for his level, just this simple expression can explain a lot of things.

He must appreciate Mahel's ability and the talent he has shown at this age.

"I believe you will definitely get a chance this season." Gary Speed ​​left a message, glanced at Jolson, and said to the latter: "Keep an eye on them, don't be led astray by those bad boys in the team." "Of course." Jolson nodded in agreement, and then watched Gary Speed ​​leave. After the other party walked away, he came to Maher's side with an excited look, patted Maher's shoulder heavily, "Did you hear me, did you hear me?" He felt that he seemed to have finally made some contributions to the team. "Is all I want a chance?" Maher waved his hand and made another poor joke: "I want goals and assists in the professional league, and a value of 3 million euros." Somehow, when he was happy, he liked to joke with people. [Skill: Observation lv1] [Proficiency: (36/300)] Maher was very satisfied with the progress of the new skills after the game. The improvement speed was beyond his expectations.
