9 A new pick and try Granada vs Deportivo 1

After the training, everyone dispersed. Leo was still practicing dribbling on the training ground alone, but was stopped by Gonzalez: "Don't train yourself today, come to my office, I have something to talk to you say."

Leo nodded and went back to the locker room to change.All the way, he wondered what Gonzalez wanted him to do.Could it be that I made a mistake? It's impossible. I've only been training for a day and a half.If it is not necessary, he is a person who doesn't even talk when he is training. He has overfulfilled the training plan assigned by the coach, and it is not his fault to make mistakes.

He didn't think about it any more, changed his clothes and went directly to the head coach's office. He knocked on the door and got permission, then pushed the door and walked in.

Gonzalez beckoned to him, and Leo walked over and sat on an empty chair opposite him: "What do you want from me?"

Gonzalez smiled kindly: "I discussed it with the rest of the coaching staff, and we decided to formulate a training plan specifically for your personal situation."

It turned out to be another training plan for him, but Leo didn't understand why this specialization was necessary, so he asked directly: "You specially arranged for me to have regular training with the striker group today, and the confrontation training in the afternoon will be I'm on the side with the defense team, is there any special purpose?"

Gonzalez was a little surprised at his sharpness, and he could relate it to today's training with just one sentence: "We want you to try more activities on the front line."

Leo understood: "You mean to let me play forward"

Gonzalez nodded and continued: "I know that you have played in the midfielder position since you were a child, and your father is also a world-class midfielder. But I and the entire coaching team think that your speed and scoring ability put a lot of pressure on you. It's a pity to be in midfield. You should be like a sharp sword, tearing through the defense with speed and piercing the heart.

Leo squinted his eyes, and was a little bit affected by his sentence of tearing up the defense, piercing the heart and stimulating the nerves and senses.In just a split second, he regained his usual composure.Seriously thought about Gonzalez's proposal.

The striker is actually a very convenient position, the core of the tactical offense, and the purpose is only one goal.You don't need strong organizational skills, and usually you don't need to return to your own half. You will be credited for winning the ball, accept the fans' pursuit and praise, and you can also be on the scorer list.As long as you don't waste too many opportunities, no one will scold you if you lose.

To be honest, Leo was a little tempted by this proposal, and there was only one reason. He loved active offense and hated passive defense.But he has maintained his usual cautious attitude and will not respond lightly.

Leo didn't answer, and there wasn't much expression on his face, just as meticulous as he was during training.Gonzalez was a little confused about what he was thinking, and said, "You don't need to make a choice right away. We just give you a suggestion. I hope you can try to change it during training and consider it carefully."

Leo was silent for a while, and when Gonzalez was about to explain to him the training plan and diet specially designated by the coaching staff for him, Leo suddenly asked: "What kind of striker do you want me to be?" , Grab points or advance”

In fact, he feels that these three types of forwards are not suitable for him, and he is not as good as the midfielder position.The list is just to test Gonzalez. If it is just because the team lacks a striker with strong scoring ability and does not consider the player's own development, he will immediately reject the head coach's proposal.But Gonzalez just thought for a while, and then watched him calmly spit out three words, size 9 and a half.

As the name suggests, this is a position between the No. 10 midfielder and the No. 9 center. Compared with the midfielder, the No. 9 and a half does not need to undertake defensive duties, but must have super scoring ability.For the center forward, he has more organizational skills and an overall view.This is an all-round forward position, fast, explosive, delicate footwork, flexible running, wide vision, absolute possession of the ball, pass or shoot or dribble breakthrough, every decision made will be made by the defender The transition to attack is catalyzed into a deadly threat, which is the absolute tactical core of the entire team.

For Leo, this position is undoubtedly more attractive than the midfielder. He is already tempted, but the surface is still calm: "But I am not omnipotent."

Gonzalez leaned forward, looked intently at the young man in front of him and said, "I believe that with your talent and talent, you will be the best all-round striker in the world in the near future."

A rare smile appeared on Leo's face: "I will think about it carefully."

Gonzalez handed him a bunch of information on the table: "Here is your weekly physical training plan and nutritional recipes, you must strictly follow the plan. I heard you like to eat sweets"

"I don't like it." Leo almost denied it reflexively.

Gonzalez expressed a little surprise at the unusual look on his face: "That would be great, anyway, chocolate, candy, and desserts are absolutely not allowed."

Leo nodded, but what he thought was that he would never eat the last piece of chocolate cake in the refrigerator after eating it.

Gonzalez continued: "The video of our opponent Deportivo in the seventh round, go back and take a good look, there will be a technical analysis next, I am waiting for your consideration, I hope this is your first as a striker. game."

The game against Deportivo is at [-] pm on Saturday at the Carmenes Stadium, home of Granada.

Before the team bus arrived at the stadium, many fans had gathered at the scene, and the scene was very hot.The number of female fans hit a record high. They shouted Leo's name in unison in the stands. The Camenes Stadium, which can only accommodate more than 1 fans, was built by enthusiastic Granada fans to 5 people. atmosphere.

Poor Deportivo's supporters who came from afar can only occupy a small corner of the stands, and even their own fans are discussing the No. 5 player in Granada.Qi Zu's son conquered the auditorium with his face. Is this a football match or a film festival red carpet?

At the same time, the media activity area next to the stadium is also extremely lively.In the match between the two lower La Liga teams, the number of reporters present did not even lose to the giants.Undoubtedly, they all came for Leo Fernandez.They are looking forward to how a second-generation star who has been widely criticized by the outside world will perform at their home court after helping a team with bottom points successfully counterattack Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

This time against Deportivo at home, Gonzales put Leo in the starting list.The formation announced by Granada is still 451, with No. 18 Horn Cordoba as the single forward, and Leo is still placed in the midfielder position.

Leo and his teammates warmed up on the sidelines before the game, and the stands near them immediately boiled up, waving the colored balls in their hands into a sea of ​​red and white that belonged to the colors of Granada's jerseys, screaming and shouting one after another.The teammates all seemed very excited and waved to the fans one after another, thanking them for their presence and support.

Only Leo remained unmoved, still concentrating on stretching his muscles and moving his joints, his mind full of the technical and tactical arrangements of the coaching staff before the game.

Although Deportivo only returned to the First Division last season, they have absolutely nothing to do with the word underdog.

If Granada is a team that is completely struggling on the relegation line, then Deportivo's ups and downs are jaw-dropping.They had the brilliance of league championships, played in the European Champions Cup and UEFA Cup, and had the reputation of Super Deportivo. After a relegation failure, they were relegated to the Second Division and returned to the First Division. The golden generation of Super Deportivo players retired several times. Ups and downs, although today's Deportivo is no longer as famous as it used to be, it is still an opponent worthy of and very necessary to pay attention to.

In any case, Deportivo are a team that has the reputation to crush Granada, but that's not enough. They snatched three points from Barcelona at Camp Nou last week. team.

The pre-match warm-up was over, and when Leo was about to walk back to the player tunnel with his teammates, he raised his head and smiled casually at the audience stands. When he smiled, there was a shallow dimple on his right cheek, which looked extraordinarily charming .This smile set off another wave of cheers in the audience.Although he only played 20 minutes on behalf of Granada, three goals were enough to make Granada fans crazy for him.

The captain came over and hooked his neck while walking and said with a smile: "We have to make a suggestion to the chairman. The Kamenes Stadium can no longer accommodate our little Leo's female fans. It must be expanded."

The teammates also turned their heads and echoed: "Yes, it must be expanded."

Leo just shook his head, showing that he was too handsome and I was helpless, followed the captain all the way into the locker room, but suddenly heard a purposely lowered voice behind him: "That's okay. Future superstars can stay until our stadium is expanded."

Leo turned his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the person who was speaking not far behind him.It was the striker Horn Cordova he was going to partner with today.When Leo looked over, the man was lowering his head and joking with his teammates.Leo couldn't understand whether what he said just now was purely teasing or had other meanings.But in any case, he will never be stupid enough to have an unpleasant situation with his teammates before the game.

Everyone is nervously preparing for the game, and immediately after changing their jerseys, they will go to the player tunnel to line up to play. Naturally, no one pays attention to this little episode in the locker room.
