[Football] Midfielder

028 Master-Apprentice Love

If the match against Real Madrid allowed Malaga fans to see the talent of Chenamuris, then the battle against Osasuna made them clearly realize the importance of the Spaniard in today's Malaga team. Has an unparalleled role.

"He is an angel sent by God to help Malaga rise!" A Malaga fan said emotionally.

Malaga's schedule this season is not easy. In addition to La Liga, there is also the King's Cup to play.

The Copa del Rey is a mix of clubs from the four levels of Spain "regardless of high and low" for knockout matches. It is also a cup competition that is rated by the media as assisting small clubs.

The Copa del Rey stimulates and promotes the operation of small local clubs. Many low-level league teams can earn enough "rations" for a year by playing against La Liga teams.

In the 05-06 season, the Copa del Rey competition system was reformed, and the low-level teams had to go through several rounds of knockout matches before meeting the La Liga teams.From a certain point of view, the number of games played by La Liga teams has been reduced, and the possibility of upset games has been reduced.But at the same time, the income of small clubs will also be reduced.

According to the Copa del Rey competition system, the first three rounds of qualifying rounds will be decided by one game. From the fourth round until the semi-finals, there will be two rounds of home and away games, and the final final will be decided by one game.

The 11 La Liga teams that did not participate in the European competition directly entered the fourth round, and the 17 teams determined in the first three rounds went through two knockout rounds to determine the seven winning teams.The seven winning teams and the nine La Liga teams that participated in the European competition will then form 9 teams for two rounds of home and away matches until the champion is decided. (Note 16)

The first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey is scheduled to be played against Osasuna three days later, and there is only three days between the ninth round of La Liga.

Therefore, when playing against Osasuna, Ferreira was determined to retain Murris' physical strength and prevent Murris, who has physical "deficiencies", from playing frequently.

But this decision still caused Ferreira to suffer a lot of criticism.

Chairman Arthani, although he is also puzzled by Ferreira's decision, has accepted Ferreira as the coach, and he has counterattacked beautifully in the two rounds of matches. He might as well observe for a while.

Although the shrewd UAE boss knows who wrote these two rounds of counterattacks.

On the 27th, Hercules played against Malaga.

Herkus is a newly promoted team that returned to La Liga after an absence of 13 years. Last season, they won the runner-up of La Liga.

Herkus, who has returned to La Liga, can be said to be high-spirited and menacing.

In the first half, the two teams played 0:0.The players on both sides played very bravely. Herkus, a newly promoted team that has experienced a trough and finally climbed back to the La Liga team, showed people their tenacious fighting spirit.

Especially after destroying a Malaga attack, they showed a hearty fighting desire and shouting, which gave Coach Ferreira a bad feeling.

He immediately let Murris go to warm up, and Hekus could no longer let Herkus continue to play.

In the second half, the Spaniard wearing a black jersey appeared on the Jose Ligo Perez Stadium, and many people exclaimed that the black ghost was coming——

Oddly enough, the specter didn't display his spooky pace or spectacular dribble at the Joseligo Perez stadium, nor did he even display the pinpoint accuracy of long balls at the El Sardar stadium.He just moved his toes lightly, and gave a proper short pass one by one, reconnecting Malaga's offensive line that was disrupted by Herkus.

At the end of the game, Malaga won with only a one-point lead.The fans were not dissatisfied with this, but spoke highly of the game.

That is not a young man who only sees victory in his eyes. He knows better than anyone what this team really needs.

His wisdom and calmness won everyone's praise.

And his role on the field is becoming more and more like a rescue trump card.Because every time he is sent to the field, it is for the team's emergency.

Although the fans hope that Coach Ferreira will pay attention to this young player and use him as the core of the entire team to lead Malaga all the way forward.Instead of pushing him to the battlefield because of this need.

Ferreira is very satisfied with Murris' performance. At the same time, he is also actively asking the physical coach to formulate the most reasonable training plan for Murris.

How much time the Spaniard can play on the field directly determines how far they can go this season.

In the ninth round of La Liga, Malaga played against Real Sociedad at home.

This time, the Spaniard started and led Málaga to a two-goal lead at the end of the first half.

The Royal Sociedad players seem to be sleepwalking today.As for Malaga, two goals greatly encouraged them, and their attacks became more and more fierce.

Ferreira thought that the current situation should be able to maintain the victory, so he replaced Murris.

There was hesitation on Murris' face. He knew that the Royal Society was not without combat power. On the contrary, under the appearance of sleepwalking, there was an undercurrent surging, and they might give Malaga a fatal blow at any time.

But he is a player, and the coach is the coach of the entire team. It is his honor that the coach listened to his opinion.But it does not mean that he can intervene in the arrangement of the head coach, what he has to do is to obey.

At this time, I can only believe that Malaga's teammates can withstand the coming fierce attack of Real Sociedad.

This was a very shocking game. Malaga was sure of winning, but throughout the second half, they were directly beaten by the Real Sociedad players who suddenly became brave.

First, Luke was injured and left the field, and then the front midfielder Fernando was also kicked. The angry Spaniard directly raised his fist, punched the opposing player, and was directly sent off with a red card.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad, they retained a lot of physical strength, and seemed to be waiting for the moment when Murris was off the field, chasing and beating Malaga.

Had it not been for Arnau's save of the last goal and the determination of the Malaga players to fight hard, Malaga, with a two-point lead, would have surrendered the victory and Real Sociedad would have taken three points.

Although the game ended in a draw, almost all fans and club executives were angry.

The voices clamoring for Ferreira to dismiss get out of class are endless. They believe that the Porto coach is not suitable to lead the Malaga team, let him go back to Porto!

In their view, Coach Ferreira deliberately suppressed Chenamuris and reduced his playing time just to ensure his status in the locker room.

As for Real Sociedad's series of counterattacks, what they fear most is not a draw, but the weakness of the Spaniard's lack of physical strength, which everyone knows.

If it wasn't for the lack of physical strength, why did Coach Ferreira let the Spaniard go off in a hurry?Those laymen will only think that Ferreira is suppressing the Spaniards, but smart people can judge that Coach Ferreira is trying to hide the weaknesses of the Spaniards with good intentions.

Yes, Real Sociedad discovered through the first few games that Coach Ferreira only allowed the Spaniard to play half of each round.Judging from the video of the game against Real Madrid, the Spaniard was indeed a little weak in the second half.Although God's goal was reproduced, it can be seen that he is holding on.

Therefore, the coach of the Royal Sociedad made this bold arrangement.If the Spaniard played in the first half, they played conservatively, trying to confuse the Malaga players and coach as much as possible.When the Spaniard is off, it is time for them to fight back.

If the Spaniards only played in the second half, then they would fight to the death in the first half, and defend in the second half. It is right to keep the victory.

After the game, Ferreira was invited into the chairman's office.

The UAE boss invited Ferreira to his seat and made him a cup of coffee with less sugar.

After that, the two sat opposite each other.After a while of silence, the owner of the UAE smiled and said, "Coach Ferreira has to worry about the team's affairs. Those boys are still obedient, I mean, have you obeyed the arrangement of your head coach?"

"Mr. Chairman Xie's concern, this is all my responsibility. The atmosphere in the team is very good, everyone is of one mind, eager to return to the club by playing excellent results this season."

"But I heard something different."

"Mr.president--"

"Coach Ferreira doesn't like Chena Murris? Because he is not obedient, or has he threatened your status in the locker room? Oh, don't take it to heart, my manager, I am just curious, take it easy ~"

Coach Ferreira looked very serious.

"Mr. Chairman, no one values ​​Murris' talent more than me. Because I am his coach, every coach is very proud to have such a talented player on the team. If possible, I hope He played the whole game every game. But in fact, against Real Madrid, Mouris reacted very well after the game, the whole team was there and I can testify to that.”

"In these few rounds, Murris still has a lot of physical strength. Has Coach Ferreira overprotected him?"

"This is so that Mouris can stand on the stage of more games."

Arsani looked at Ferreira and narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

Malaga Club Stadium.

Murris stood in front of the goal, constantly practicing free kicks.

At this time, it was already dark, and the dazzling headlights around the stadium illuminated the entire stadium.Vaguely, there was only Murris alone, kicking the ball in front of the goal to any corner of the net again and again in front of the goal.

Ferreira stood behind Murris at some point, watching the Spaniard raise his legs high, and the ball shot towards the goal like an aurora.The ball was much higher than the crossbar, but it fell in front of the net at an extremely fast speed, like a battle ax chopped down from the sky, it was amazing!

While Ferreira was admiring, his expression was a bit complicated, as if he was pity, but also regretful.But still clapped his hands and walked forward.

"coach."

"Are you practicing free kicks?"

"Ah."

"Many midfield superstars have amazing free kick skills. For example, Brazilian midfielder Marcos Assuncao can kick a terrifying free kick with a huge arc with his right foot without even running up. There are 'Angels' Marcelinho Carioca, known as the foot of the court, can kick various styles of free kicks anywhere on the court, and is known as the supreme in South America. Brazilian Juninho and Italian Pirlo are famous also often staged lore. There is also Beckham, who is known as the heartthrob. Although his face has graced him a lot, his free kicks are really good. Especially his 'Beckham Scimitar' , so that many teams have become his soul. Oh, yes, our Murris is also a handsome guy, not losing to that heartthrob.”

"Thank you coach." Murris really didn't pay much attention to things like appearance.

"I saw your ball just now. The arc is very strange and the speed is very sharp. How long have you been practicing?"

"Three days."

"Three...three days?" Ferreira was really surprised. Even the greatest goalkeeper might not be able to block a free kick of that level.But the young player told himself that it only took him three days.

"When the team was fouled last time and the referee awarded a free kick, I thought about practicing free kicks."

"...Do you have a name?"

"Tomahawk!" Murris said after thinking for two seconds, "I hope to win honor and victory with the coach and Malaga teammates with this invincible tomahawk."

Ferreira was stunned, and after a while, he reached out and patted the Spaniard on the shoulder.

"Murris, I may be leaving Malaga soon."

Murris looked up in astonishment, then suddenly thought of something, and suddenly lowered his head.

"Oh, good boy, don't do this, it's not your fault. You know, I disagree with the chairman in many ideas." Seeing the Spaniard showing a feeling called sadness, this man was decisive The famous Porto marshal suddenly became anxious.

But in his heart, he was still moved.At least in the heart of this talented player, there is him as a teacher.

In particular, this young Spanish player never showed emotions called joy, anger, sorrow and joy on the court.Expressing his emotions so clearly this time has filled the old coach's sour heart.

He loves this team. Although he has only been with him for four months, he has seen unlimited hope and future in this team.

Malaga is a rising team, not only the talented midfielder, but also the condition of other players is constantly improving.

He has an unimaginable passion for this team.

He stayed up all night to formulate tactics for the players, and excitedly and impatiently designed formations around Murris that looked incredible but were completely worth implementing.

The existence of Murris has helped him inspire infinite vitality in the position of coach, and he has many wonderful and bold ideas.He waited for the collective strength of the Malaga players to improve and be able to better match the pace of Murris, instead of letting Murris cooperate with them every time.

However, all this has not yet been implemented, and he is about to be fired by the club.

Murris lowered his head, knowing that the old coach was just comforting his heart.His departure must be because of himself.

If he had let the coach know earlier, he was not physically weak, but he had just recovered and the coach wanted him to rest, and he responded graciously.But he didn't know the direction of things, and it was so difficult to control.

The patience of the UAE boss is not as good as he imagined.

When he first came to Malaga, the chairman had expectations of him.But for more than a month after that, he didn't get a chance to play. Chairman Arsani didn't say anything, and he never expressed his displeasure.He thought that at least two weeks could be given to him to recuperate.

Although he also knew that victory at the Bernabeu Stadium would break this balance.Make many things more uncontrollable.

But in this life, he just wants to be a player and play his own football well, not to intrigue with those high-ranking people.So many things, even if he was aware of it, he didn't take it to heart.

From this point alone, Murris apologized to Coach Ferreira.Especially when he withstood the pressure, kept his strength for him, and insisted that he only play half a game, although he really wanted to tell the old coach that he was actually a "runner", but he silently accepted the old coach's kindness.

If Ferreira knew what Mulis was thinking at the moment, he would have patted him on the shoulder and told him: It's not that Mr. Chairman is impatient, it's just that no matter which club's chairman, his interests come first.Seeing such a talented player below, it is inevitable to feel impetuous and utilitarian.

He can create victories on the court, why should he be left on the bench?

He is so young, if he is not running on the court at the moment, does he have to wait until he is too old to run?

What they are best at is to squeeze the physical strength of the players and let them create wealth and value for the club as much as possible.Not just Malaga, but all of them.

"Murris, you know, I have always favored both offensive and defensive football. Malaga's team still has a lot to make up for, whether it is offensive power or defense, neither side is dominant. Several big victories, let The fans and the club misjudged the strength of Malaga. I can understand their desire for the team to win, but they must also consider what kind of cards they have in their hands."

Morris nodded.

"But the chairman doesn't think so, he just wants to see artistic football. In every game, he hopes that you can dedicate the most exquisite passes and goals for him. I am very worried. If you continue to play like this, one day , you will be dragged down by the whole club."

Catering to the wishes of the higher-ups is already very difficult, everyone is greedy, especially after seeing something called art, there will be almost harsh requirements for a player.They are more and more dissatisfied with the status quo. Even if you have achieved a lot of victories, as long as you go to Waterloo, the past efforts and efforts may be wiped out.

"Murris, you still have a long career. Promise me that no matter what the club and fans expect, you will do what you can."

Maurice looked up at Ferreira.

"I have seen too many outstanding players. They frequently overdrawn their physical strength and professional life for the club and the national team. They suffered from injuries early on and were finally abandoned by the club and the national team. When a player is in his prime, he has to think about retirement."

At that time, no one will remember how many feats you have established, and people will start to forget how you fought injuries and kept playing.You want to play football like crazy, but you don't get the chance to play.

Just like the entertainment industry, football is a very realistic and cruel place.Once your strength declines, you will be yelled at by the fans.What they remember are only those players who are brilliant and keep scoring goals to win their cheers.

Ferreira's words are not to make Murris lazy and slippery, nor to make him forget the responsibility of an athlete to fight hard.But today, when the Spaniard is highly anticipated, don't forget a sincere warning from a coach who is about to leave.

Fans' expectations will form invisible pressure.The Spaniard, who played an outstanding role in Malaga, bears the heavy responsibility of too many fans to revitalize Malaga, and the pressure can be imagined.And this pressure will become heavier with every victory.

Countless young teenagers fell quickly as soon as they shined. In addition to their own reasons, the fans' high expectations are also an important aspect.

"I see, coach." For Murris, things like pressure will only turn into unyielding fighting spirit.

But he is sincerely grateful to the old coach for his care.

After saying these words, Ferreira seemed to feel a little more relaxed.

Patted the young Spanish player on the shoulder, "Don't blame me, a bad old man, for letting you, a talented player, sit on the bench for so long?"

"No, I just thank the coach for his trust and concern for me." Murris said, bowing solemnly to Ferreira.

It took a long time for Ferreira's outstretched hand to land on the Spaniard's shoulder.

He has a lot of regrets, especially when he sees this young player expressing his gratitude so awkwardly and humbly.

"Good boy, although I have only been your coach for two months, no matter where you go, you are my best disciple. Even if I leave Malaga, I will pay attention to the growth of your proud disciple. .”

Morris remained bowed.

"You are the best player I have ever seen. In my heart, you are better than Ronaldo and Messi."

"..."

"Well, get up, boy. Remember, you are born to play, and you will become the greatest midfielder. When that day comes, I can proudly tell everyone that I once had a student named— —Chener Moores!"

The old coach hugged his favorite student heavily, and patted him on the back.

Where no one noticed, the old coach's eyes were red.

News of the termination of the contract between Coach Ferreira and the club soon spread.Although the news released by the club is that Malaga Club and Coach Ferreira broke up peacefully, many media still speculate that this may have something to do with the conflict in Malaga's locker room.

The Spaniard is now the darling of the top management of the entire Malaga club. Even if it is a conflict with the coach, the top management wants to keep the Spaniard even more.

It is conceivable that if the incoming Malaga coach wants to impress the heart of Chairman Arsani, how to properly arrange Chenna Mouris, the ace in the team, will be an important topic for them.

The reason why Ferreira dismissed get out of class early is that his positioning of the Spaniard has not been affirmed by Chairman Arzani, the number one fan of Murris.

In his opinion, the Porto coach is not suitable for the Malaga team, and he cannot fully display the talent of Murris, a midfield superstar.

Among those famous coaches who were unemployed at home, they quickly locked in Real Madrid's abandoned coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Pellegrini, who has served as the coach of Real Madrid and has also had a brilliant record, will definitely have no problem with his qualifications as the coach of Malaga.

What makes him most optimistic about him is the mentorship between Pei Gong and the Malaga ace player.

He is the mentor of Chena Mouris, the Bole in his career, and he brought this young Spanish player to the La Liga stage.Although it was a choice in desperation, it was he who made the world see the Spaniard's amazing talent and unparalleled gorgeous skills.

Pei Gong’s appreciation and expectations for this young player are also well known. After the match against Real Madrid in Malaga, Pei Gong once gave an interview to the media and praised the Spaniard as a natural player. He knew that he would always have One day will shock the whole football world.

The most touching thing is that the two were purged by Real Madrid in the same season.The feeling of sympathy spread among the entire Malaga fans.They decided almost immediately that Manuel Pellegrini would be Malaga's coach.

And the fact is that when it was announced that it had broken up peacefully with Coach Ferreira, the Malaga club was actively contacting Pei Gong.

There are also some people who sympathize with Ferreira. After all, this old coach looks very kind and treats players and fans well.It was too cruel to be kicked out by Malaga in this way.Others couldn't let go of the conflict in the locker room for a long time.

Could it be that the seemingly elegant and kind Spaniard is still a thorny head who incites the players to create conflicts in the locker room?

This is simply the destruction of the image. Compared with Ferreira's departure, neither the fans nor the fans can accept that the Spaniard is the executioner of Ferreira's dismissal.

And coach Ferreira, at the press conference when he left, severely criticized and accused such untrue speculation and rumors.

"From the coach to the players in Malaga, they are all of one mind, and there is no conflict in the locker room." The old coach kept a straight face, which was quite intimidating. "As for the locker room dispute between me and Murris, it's even more nonsense. Murris is a very humble and polite kid who understands every arrangement I make and is grateful."

Speaking of this, Ferreira slowed down his tone, obviously meaning to chat with the media.

"Yesterday, I said goodbye to my most proud student at the club stadium. He is a hardworking kid. The club training has long been over, and he stayed alone for additional training. He is practicing a new free kick. I believe that in the The moment he shows on the pitch, his memorable goals won't just be 'God's Goals'."

This news can also make headlines. Coach Ferreira directly said that Murris is his most proud disciple. Not only that, Murris also practiced a new stunt, and in the mouth of Coach Ferreira, this kind of goal is amazing. On par with God's goal!

"My disciple, Mouris, said something that touched me very much. Especially because I was about to leave Malaga, this emotion became stronger. He said that he wanted to use this free kick, and the coach There are also teammates who won honors and victories together. I regret that I cannot continue to lead Malaga to fulfill the promise I made when I took office. I am also very sad to leave these loving disciples. But as I said to Murris yesterday That way, no matter where I stand next, I'll be watching him grow, cheering and applauding every victory he has."

From the old coach's emotional departure interview, fans who clamored for Ferreira's dismissal and misunderstood Murris were silent.

In their view, a pair of mentors and apprentices competing for the right to speak in the locker room does not have a dispute over fame, wealth and status.They are just a kind teacher who will wash away false rumors for his disciples even if he leaves, and a good player who respects and respects the teacher and diligently wants to win honor for the club with Malaga players and coaches.

"I don't care about the outside world's speculation and doubts about me. I have been a coach for 30 years, and I am used to the ups and downs, and I am about to leave Malaga. But Mouris can't. He is still young and has the best heart. Sincere and most grateful hearts. I hope you treat him well, he is the most faithful child of Malaga—"

Countless female fans watched Ferreira's departure interview and wept.Football is also a place with emotions, not every coach and player thinks of themselves.

The outside world has also changed their tone towards Ferreira and Murris.

Murris is undoubtedly a good player of his duty, regardless of whether he will leave Malaga in the future and go to a higher professional stage.As long as he is in Malaga, he will be a faithful child of Malaga.

Coach Ferreira, the old coach may not be so in tune with Malaga, but he is a kind and kind old man.I wish him the next stop, and he can also reap the wonderful relationship between master and apprentice.

But this place in football, even if there is true love, is more cruel.In the case of Murris and Ferreira, there are not many situations where a peaceful breakup can be achieved and fans can shed emotional tears.

It can only be said that the Spaniard named Chena Mulis really has a charm that can make people around him willingly think about him and carefully care for his growth.

His performance on the court is indeed worthy of a coach's attention to him.

Coach Ferreira left for the day, and the players went to the airport to see them off.Murris came a step late. He held an exquisite food box and handed it to the kind old coach.

"My father is very grateful to the coach for taking care of me during this time. When he learned that you love fish, he made two for you overnight."

The old coach was very happy, opened the food box on the spot, and sniffed happily.

"True fragrance, thank your father for me."

"it is good."

Jesús Gamez probably felt that the scene where the master and the apprentice had a dialogue holding the food box was very loving and seductive.I took a photo and posted it on my twitter, causing quite a stir.

If there were bad suspicions before that Ferreira had collected money from the club to clear up the negative news about the club, then seeing this photo is nothing to say.

The old coach in the photo smiled brightly, looking at his proud disciple with gentleness.The Spaniard, who was expressionless and calm on the court, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there seemed to be a glimmer of spring in his eyes.

That photo is really beautiful.A feeling of admiration from grandparents and grandchildren. I don't know who first proposed this word, but it has been unanimously approved.

And they also confirmed that the Spaniard with a cold appearance has the most gentle and delicate heart.It is rare for a coach who has left to be so attentive.

However, there is always a banquet in the world, let alone in the ever-changing football world.We can only wish the old coach a smooth journey and that Murris can also thrive.
