Chapter 25 I Want to Succeed (112/136)
When Pavon stepped onto the field, he couldn't hear the shouts and boos of the Marseille fans. He only had what Chang Sheng said to him in the office in his mind.
"Do you want to succeed?"
Do you want to be successful?
This sentence actually didn't come out at this time. In the past two days, this sentence has been lingering in his mind for an unknown amount of time.
It made him sleepless at night, restless during the day, and didn't think about tea or food, and he didn't even think about training.
Does he want to succeed?
Of course he would.
If he didn't want to succeed, he wouldn't play football.
He wants success more than anyone, especially after what Real Madrid has been through.
Now he is very eager to hope that he can succeed, so that those who have laughed at himself, questioned himself, and looked down on himself all these years can lick back all the saliva they once spit out!
But he didn't know how to succeed, he worked hard, and when he got on the court, he still performed badly, and he seemed to lose his soul.
Every game is like this, he even began to wonder if he no longer knows how to play football.
If that's the case... Do I want to retire early?
Although everyone is encouraging him and cheering him up, he still doesn't know how to cheer up...
He felt that he had worked very hard, why couldn't he?
Until a few days ago, he was called to the office by Chang Sheng, where he was scolded head on. Only then did he discover this question—is he really a coward like Chang Sheng said?
No one wants to admit that they are cowards. Especially men.
Same goes for Pavon.
He didn't want to be a coward, but had he really been a coward before?
Pavon is also thinking about this issue these days.
It took two days. He had to admit that he was indeed a coward before.
He didn't want to be a coward,
He wants to succeed.
This mentality prompted his transformation.
But at the same time, what made him change was a detailed training plan.
At Lazio he saw a training program that he didn't even practice at Real Madrid.
After he expressed that he wanted to practice more, the coaching staff of the team even made a training plan for him!
This shocked him greatly.
You must know that even in a team like Real Madrid, which is the leader in the field of practice, players often have no rules for extra training. It all depends on their own interest and persistence. No coach will come to guide you on what to do. So everyone seldom practiced. At most, it is to practice shooting and free kicks.
But when Pavon wanted to do extra physical training, the fitness coach Elias Dominique even specially accompanied her to do extra training, instructing him to pay attention to what things should be paid attention to after the training, and what training items cannot be carried out. Yes, what training items need to be reduced, and what can be increased...
These Pavon never understood before, and no one told him.
Didn't expect to be in Lazio. There is actually a coach who is so serious and complicated...
His heart began to loosen.
Maybe with the help of these people, it is really possible for me to start over?
In the end, it fell on that **.
After leaving Real Madrid, no one will talk about Zidane's Pavon policy anymore. His pressure is much less than before.
In Lazio, there is a serious and responsible coaching staff to formulate a special training plan for him...
The external environment is already the best one he has experienced in the past few years.
If under such conditions. If he still fails as before, it can only prove that he is indeed a complete coward, waste!
Pavin is not reconciled, he wants to change the status quo, he wants to succeed!
He didn't expect to start this game. Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng put him in the starting list again.
And before the game, the head coach who had mercilessly scolded himself bloody. He also specially pulled him and taught him the opportunity face to face.
Among the two central defenders, when defending, Jose Passarella will push out, using his excellent anticipation ability and speed to directly steal the opponent's player with the ball.
At this time, Pavon will protect from behind.
Pavon's physical fitness is better than that of Jose Passarella. He is mainly responsible for air defense and controlling players that Jose Passarella can't deal with. For example, some offensive players like to use their physical advantages to force their way in.
At this time, Pavon will go up to stick to the opponent.
Chang Sheng gave Pavon a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the Marseille forwards.
After Drogba left, there were no Marseille strikers who could physically beat Pavon, so this game was not as difficult as people imagined.
※※※
The whistle to start the game interrupted Pavon's contemplation.
He looked up and looked at the teammates and opposing players who were spreading out in front of him. Although the eyes are still a little confused, but in the confusion, there is a firm belief that has broken through the cocoon little by little.
This game is an opportunity to prove yourself.
From this game on, I, Francisco Pavon, will be born again!
※※※
Marseille did not expect that Chang Sheng would let Pavon, who performed poorly in the first round, start again.
They thought they would face the combination of Jose Passarella and Hugo Campagnaro.
They were even more troubled by Jose Passarella, a young central defender with a maturity and composure that did not match his age.
His predictions and tackles are very accurate.
No wonder Lazio fans call him "Nesta's successor".
Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng sent Pavon to partner with Jose Passarella...
That's fine, we'll just use Pavon as a breakthrough.
As a result, Marseille's offense began to take Pavon as the main goal.
But this time they found it was not so easy.
First of all, Jose Passarella closely protected Pavon.
Second, and most importantly. Pavin was no longer afraid of physical contact, nor was he afraid of shaking with each other.
His performance at the back line is quite tough. Even... When fouling, the foot is really firm and ruthless!
"Niang fell to the ground! He was knocked to the ground by Pavin! This was a shocking scene, so Niang himself felt unbelievable. He was still lying on the ground, turning his head to look at Pavin with a face full of surprise. The look on his face... He is surprising, because none of us expected it. In the first round, Pavon took it for granted that he was weak in the face of the attacks of the Marseille strikers! He needed Jose Passarella again and again. Fill him up to save him. But in the end he couldn't make it up. Marseille scored a crucial away goal..."
The narrator said in surprise.
Pavin looked at Niang who fell on the ground, panting heavily, clenching his teeth tightly.
A pair of fists clenched until the knuckles turned white.
I want to succeed——! ! !
He shouted hard in his heart.
He just competed with himself like this, and he didn't even listen to the verbal warning from the referee.
※※※
When Chang Sheng saw this scene off the court, he couldn't help laughing.
Still looks a little nervous, but overall it's good because he's moving in a good direction.
Have courage. Be fearless and be... hard on yourself!
Only in this way can we touch the threshold of success.
Regardless of how Pavon will perform in the end in this game, Chang Sheng is relieved.
※※※
Pavon is just one side of the game.
If Lazio wants to advance, they need to beat Marseille away, and they have to score first.
Because Marseille has an away goal. They must not be in a hurry, waiting for Lazio to take the initiative to press up, and then waiting for Lazio to make a mistake.
When they make a mistake, Marseille will immediately implement a merciless blow.
Strive to completely destroy Lazio's fighting spirit.
So at the beginning of the game, apart from targeting Pavon in offense, their overall strategy was to defend and counterattack.
Let Lazio attack. Then wait for an opportunity to fight back.
It's a good idea.
But there is a problem that Marseille's head coach Jean Fernandez has not considered.
That is... What if Lazio attacks first and scores first?
※※※
"David Silva! He is young and has no stage fright. He suddenly cuts in with the ball! Rocky pulled out to meet him, and the two made a one-two...Pandev! Everyone thought Silva would dribble the ball himself Pushing in, I didn't expect him to pass the football to Pandev! Beautiful pass!"
As the commentator kept shouting, Pandev had already received a pass from David Silva in the penalty area.
Then Pandev directly kicked the goal!
Marseille's defenders really didn't expect that the football would eventually fall to Pandev's feet, and they didn't expect that Pandev shot so decisively after taking the ball!
They thought that Pandev would have to adjust anyway, stop the ball, then make a fake move, then look up to observe the surrounding situation and the goalkeeper's position, and finally shoot - at that time Marseille's defense was also rearranged.
But Pandev just stopped the ball and shot!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
"Pandev——!!"
Marseille goalkeeper Butters fought hard to save, but at the age of 34, his explosive ability is not as good as before...
In addition, Pandev shot the ball quite suddenly.
So when Butters rushed over, the football had already flown into the goal!
"Pandev—! Goal!!!!"
The Italian narrator roared.
"Lazio outscored on aggregate and they also scored away goals, thus canceling out Marseille's away goals advantage!"
"This is what I told you before, Lazio's new tactics! The small-scale fast pass and cut cooperation, coupled with their speed advantage, makes people hard to defend! Marseille is completely surrounded by David Silva, Rocky The small cooperation between the three of them and Pandev knocked me out!"
"In a win-or-die game, Lazio launched a Jedi counterattack! I hope the counterattack at this time will not be too late..."
※※※
After the goal, Pandev hugged David Silva who passed the ball to him.
Although the two people do not understand the language until now, it does not prevent them from laughing and celebrating the goal together.
The old players in the match and the new players who joined the team were connected by goals.
Chang Sheng smiled happily when he saw this scene.
Victory is the bridge that connects everything and communicates everything.
Where there is victory, the bridge is strong.
Without victory, the bridge collapses, and even the best relationship is useless.
In this team that mixed newcomers and cleaned up a lot of old people, if you want to evaluate the locker room in the fastest time and obtain the stability and unity needed for constant victories, then victory is essential.
For half a year, he has been dormant.
Many people may have almost forgotten that there is such a head coach as him.
But now, he is back on the road, and the victory mode is on again! To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (an.) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
