World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 544
In this game, Maritimo's team is full of melon eggs, and only Aduriz is a reliable veteran.

Since Aduriz retired and came back again, doubts have never stopped.

"Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

"Come back after retiring? Think of yourself as Jordan!"

"It's probably not enough money to spend!"

"To actually sign such an old guy who is over 40 years old, Maritimo is so rich and stupid!"

……

However, Aduriz has proven himself on the training ground and in the game.He put in more effort than young players, and slowly recovered his form. In the limited playing time, he performed well, made great contributions to the team, and scored goals.

But bullshit is ubiquitous, and doubts still exist.

"That is to go out during garbage time. After all, the club has to give the fans an explanation!"

"Others are tired of fighting, but of course he looks pretty good when he comes up."

"It's okay at the beginning, as the league progresses, the body will become more and more tired"

"Isn't it good to give his playing time to young people? His existence compresses young people's playing time!"

"Gao Yuan is still training the 41-year-old Aduriz! It is estimated that he will be able to become a talent when he is 50 years old, haha"

……

Aduriz also knows that his existence has put a lot of pressure on Gao Yuan and the team, so he can only train harder to live up to the trust of the coach and the club.

Gao Yuan saw Aduriz's efforts in his eyes, and often communicated with him after training.

"There is an old saying in China called forty not confused. It means that after a person is 40 years old, he has no doubts about life. As a football player, I believe that your understanding of life should be more profound and thorough. Therefore, I hope you can do what you can and don't work too hard. After all, you are not young anymore, and maintaining your sports life is the most important thing."

Aduriz was very moved. Although the coach was more than ten years younger than himself, he was able to consider his career and take the initiative to relieve himself. This respect and care made the veteran feel warm in the twilight of his career.

Aduriz, why didn't he realize that he was not confused when he was forty.In my career, I have experienced the heat and cold of time and felt the ruthlessness of the years. For 40 years, I have had doubts, hesitation, excitement, and joy, but what remained was more contemplation, sudden enlightenment, reason and sobriety.

At this age, he has been able to distinguish what kind of coach is a good coach, what is false politeness, and what is caring from the heart.

A scholar dies for his confidant.Although he did not express his sincerity in front of Gao Yuan, he repaid the coach's trust and concern with practical actions.

In daily training, he will not hesitate to teach his young teammates by precept and example, and pass on his unique skills in the green field for many years to his teammates without reservation.

Outside of training, he will tell the young people in the team what he has learned and learned from playing football over the years, and tell them that they are very lucky. They have met a good coach and a reliable club, and they must know how to cherish them.

He also provided a lot of suggestions to the coaching staff based on his own experience to help the coaching staff improve their efficiency and work.

In the locker room, he also gave full play to his role as a veteran to help Gaoyuan better control the locker room.

……

It can be said that he has played a positive role model in all aspects, and what he has done has far exceeded the expectations of the club.Gao Yuan felt more and more that the veteran Mendes introduced to him was far more than worth the money!
However, Aduriz himself still felt that it was not enough.He is a person who has retired once, and he knows how to cherish and be grateful.He always reminded himself to do his best to repay the coach's kindness and trust!

Now, Gao Yuan is under tremendous pressure because of the lineup rotation, and has given himself a chance to start.

This is not only the trust of the coach, but also the moment when I need to repay my gratitude the most.

Aduriz really wants to use his performance to dispel doubts from the outside world, not only for himself, but also for the team and the coach.

He played very actively in the first half, fighting for every ball, not at all like a veteran over 40 years old.

But the more he wants to play well, the more he feels really old.

I played a few times before, because I was surrounded by the main teammates of the first team. They were very capable and provided me with great support, so I didn't feel tired playing.

And because he came off the bench in the second half, the opponent's physical energy has been consumed a lot, so his body doesn't look much worse than others.

But this time is different.It's not that others are helping me to kick, but that I am leading a group of rookies to kick.And played with them from the beginning.

He felt that he was really old. He used to be able to catch the ball easily, but now he could not pick up the speed even though the ball was right in front of his eyes. The ball that could hit the goal accurately before, but now it went higher than the goal because of the lack of bounce height.

And worst of all, physical fitness.Age is not forgiving, and he was exhausted by the end of the first half.

Are you really old?The outside world is not wrong, I can only add to the cake in the team, but can't help?

Just when Aduriz's mood was as heavy as his steps to the extreme, when he was depressed, hesitant, and helpless, after an intermission, he was surprised to find that his physical fitness had recovered!My condition is also better than ever!

He seems to have found the feeling of killing all sides in Athletic Bilbao in the past again!
What surprised him even more was that not only his own state recovered, but his teammates also found the feeling!

Although they conceded a goal at the beginning of the second half, they quickly took the initiative on the field and firmly suppressed their opponents in their own half.

The continuous attack made Aduriz very excited, and the more he played, the more confident he became.

Not only did he give full play to his advantages as a center forward in holding and making the ball, but he also became the bridgehead of the team's frontcourt offense and successfully connected the team's offense.And his offense is also doing very well, several shots in the penalty area are extremely threatening.

But it may be because of being too impatient, coupled with the lack of battle for a long time, he failed to grasp several good opportunities, and his shots missed by a hair.

Seeing the passing of minutes and seconds, and his team gaining momentum but not scoring, Aduriz was also a little anxious.

In the 67th minute, Tondra fell the ball from the backcourt, and there was a little deviation. The central defender stopped the ball a little too much, and Aduriz rushed over.

Aduriz was eager to attack and didn't care at all. He got up and was about to continue kicking, but the referee's whistle sounded.

foul!

Seeing that a good opportunity was blown away by the referee, Aduriz was very angry. Angrily, he picked up the ball and smashed it on the ground. The ball bounced high. At the same time, the referee also raised the yellow card in his hand.

"Damn it! Can you blow the whistle! I've played football for so many years, and I've never seen a referee like you!" Aduriz yelled angrily.

The referee was also angry. He originally wanted to warn Aduriz, but the other party was too embarrassing!Furious, he pointed at Aduriz's nose, "If you say one more word, I will issue a red card!"

"I..." Aduriz swallowed the swear words again, as a veteran, he still has some self-control.

"Aduris!" Gao Yuan's shout sounded not far away.

Aduriz followed the prestige, and saw Gao Yuan calling himself anxiously.

Aduriz ran over, the burning anger just now disappeared in an instant, he lowered his head and dared not look at the young coach.Like a kid who did something wrong.

Gao Yuan grabbed his shoulder, "Aduriz, you are the most experienced player on the field, you are in a hurry, what should these young people do? Everyone follows your example!"

"I'm sorry, coach, I'm impulsive!"

As a veteran, Aduriz certainly understands that he is impulsive. At this time, the best counterattack is not to shovel the opponent, let alone lose his temper at the referee, but to find a way to send the ball into the opponent's goal!
Gao Yuan nodded in satisfaction. He didn't need a heavy hammer to play the drum. As a seasoned veteran with a mature mind, Aduriz didn't need to mention too much.

The reason why he was so impulsive was because he wanted to win so much, he was blinded by the outcome.

Aduriz is currently the only experienced veteran of the team, and the only key man who may change the situation of the game.Gao Yuan still decided to give him a little advice:
"Aduriz, remember what I said to you before? Forty is not confusing! You are old, but this is not a simple disadvantage, sometimes it is also an advantage, which means that you have more experience and experience than other players. What you have to do on the field is not only hard work, but also brains, and use your experience and wisdom to help the team!"

Aduriz nodded thoughtfully, "Boss, I know what to do!"

Gao Yuan patted him on the shoulder again, his movements were full of kindness, expectation and trust.

"rely on you!"
