Chapter 1778 Unwilling

Qin Lin looked at the players in the locker room. Most of them took off their clothes, their upper body was naked, and they wiped the sweat off their bodies with dry towels.

Qin Lin didn't speak during this time, he just folded his arms and chest and watched quietly in front of the tactical board.

At the same time, I was thinking about what to say to the players next.

Peng Weijun sat in his seat, lowered his head and obediently wiped his body, and kept peeking at the head coach from the corner of his eye, trying to guess his own fate from the change in the head coach's current expression—whether he would be in midfield Substitute yourself during the break?

In the last ten minutes of the first half, although the Pirates of Madrid strengthened their offensive on the right, the South China Tigers still defended.

With the help of his teammates, Peng Weijun's side finally did not continue to concede the ball.

This process was very thrilling, and the South China tiger was very passive on the scene.

It's just a little bit of luck-Hu Lai had a shot that was pushed by the goalkeeper Du Ke, and it bounced off the crossbar.

At that time, everyone was scared into cardiac arrest.

Although he did not continue to concede the ball, Peng Weijun did not know whether the head coach Qin Lin was satisfied with his performance.

Because to be honest, in the process of these defenses, his contribution is not great, and his performance is not outstanding.

The main thing is to rely on the help of the team's defense.

Even the offense of the Madrid Pirates may lead to Boss Qin Lin's determination to replace him-because if the Pirates continue to attack like this in the second half, he will most likely not be able to withstand it.

Peng Weijun knew that with his performance in the first half, even if he was really replaced, he would have nothing to say.

But he was still a little unwilling.

This unwillingness was not aimed at Qin Lin, but at himself.

Obviously he trained hard before this game, made full preparations, and wanted to do a big job in the game.

The result was just a dismal impression.

If he is substituted like this, it means that this impression will be frozen, and everyone will remember only his poor performance in the first half.

When people mention him in the future, they will only say: "Peng Weijun? Oh, I know, he is the idiot who was smashed into a sieve by Kamara in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup!"

He doesn't want to be the "stupid" that everyone talks about.

But if the head coach wants to replace him, what can he do?

Thinking of this, Peng Weijun was a little downcast.

After everyone changed into dry jerseys one after another, Qin Lin finally spoke:

"We played okay in the first half. We only conceded two goals when we were proactive. The most important thing is that we didn't continue to concede when the opponent started to attack us on the left side...I know it's a mess. , and took advantage of good luck... But these are not important. The most important thing is the result, and the result is that we did not continue to lose goals, only lost two goals!"

When he said the last sentence, he put the emphasis on the word "only".

This is what he wants to emphasize.

It sounds a little funny-you are two goals behind, and you are talking about "only losing" two goals? Are you sure this isn't really sarcasm?

But Qin Lin was really not being sarcastic, he continued:

"The current score is not very good, but it is not too bad. I still say that this is our hard-won opportunity. If we don't try our best and just raise our hands and admit defeat, it would be too wasteful. So the second half and the first It's the same at halftime, if you have a chance, attack it. Only two goals behind, we still have a chance! When attacking, the two sides still have to press! We must do our best! Don't think about physical ability, Anyway, that's the way it is, either we **** them before we run out of energy, or we get **** by them after we run out of energy!"

Then Qin Lin called Yao Huasheng's name: "Huasheng, after Peng Weijun went up in the second half, you should move closer to him and help him defend."

Yao Huasheng nodded, and agreed without saying a word: "No problem."

But Peng Weijun was stunned. He suddenly raised his lowered head and stared at the head coach with wide eyes.

He had always been worried that the head coach would call his name and then tell him not to play in the second half.

It turned out that he was indeed mentioned by name, but the content of the mention was to keep him on the court!

For a person who originally thought he was dead, this feeling is no less than resurrection from the dead!

There was light in his eyes immediately.

Qin Lin turned to the others as if he didn't see Peng Weijun's eyes at all, and continued to arrange his own adjustments.

Peng Weijun lowered his head again and clenched his fists.

He knew that his life had been extended, but he couldn't sit back and relax.

You still have to perform well enough to convince the coach to let yourself stay on the court!

Kamara looked at the South China Tigers players coming out of the player tunnel, and immediately caught sight of the left back.

He thought the left-back would be substituted early at half-time because of his poor performance in the first half—meaning he had defeated the idiot.

But I don't know why, the head coach of the South China Tigers didn't make any adjustments during the halftime break.

So this left back is at it again...

Was it because he was not reconciled and made a strong request to the head coach to stay on the court?

But whatever the reason, you're going to regret being on the court, kid.

After Kamara looked away from the left-back, he turned to Hu Lai and asked, "Hu, if I hit too hard in this game, will you have any objections?"

"Huh?" Hu Lai didn't realize what Kamara was saying at first.

Kamara pouted in the direction of the South China Tigers' left back: "That kid, I want to teach him a good lesson."

"Oh, that's fine."

Hu Lai looked at Peng Weijun.

He didn't have any impression of this person, and he didn't know him at all before, so of course there was no need to worry about Peng Weijun.

After all, it's normal to try your best in the game, isn't it? Kamara wants to go all out, whether Peng Weijun can stop it depends on his own luck.

Hu Lai can't control it.

Although he is a Chinese player, it does not mean that he has to maintain a friend-like relationship with every Chinese player and consider every Chinese player in place.

Besides, doesn't a young player grow up from this game after game against strong opponents?

If Peng Weijun really wants to develop well in the future, wouldn't it be better to be able to fight against a strong opponent who is going all out?

If Peng Weijun is really defeated by Kamara, it can only show that his psychological quality is not good enough. It is difficult for such a player to achieve much in the future.

That's why Hu Lai doesn't care whether Peng Weijun will be beaten by Kamala...

Kamara nodded after receiving Hu Lai's reply, and then turned her attention to the left back of the South China Tigers.

"Why didn't you replace Peng Weijun?"

The assistant coach asked Qin Lin.

Qin Lin covered his mouth and said, "There is no better candidate."

"Isn't Yang You on the bench? His defense is better than Peng Weijun..."

"But what about offense?"

Qin Lin's assistant coach couldn't answer Qin Lin's question.

In fact, is this still an answer?

In terms of offense, Yang You is certainly not as good as Peng Weijun. The latter was born as a winger anyway!

It can be seen from Qin Lin's answer that he still cares more about offense.

So I would rather give up defense and attack.

But the question is... no matter how good our offense is, can we really beat the Madrid Pirates?

"Peng Weijun's defense is indeed not as good as Yang You's, but he is much faster than Yang You, and Yang You may not be able to defend Kamara." Seeing that the assistant coach stopped talking, Qin Lin further explained.

From a defensive point of view, Peng Weijun is also a more suitable choice than Yang You.

"I suddenly had an idea, after this game, no matter what the final result is... Maybe we should reposition Peng Weijun..."

Hearing Qin Lin's words, the assistant coach asked, "What do you think?"

"I think, judging from Peng Weijun's performance, he may be more suitable to play as a left-back... In this way, there will be more space for him to sprint. His foot skills are indeed a bit rough, and it is difficult for him to play in a small space. Bring the ball out..."

The assistant coach thought about it~lightnovelpub.net~ and felt that what Qin Lin said made sense.

but…

"But... you are not afraid that he will lose confidence in this game?" the assistant coach asked.

"He's not that fragile." Qin Lin said, "Didn't you notice that kid was always clenching his fists during the intermission? He was very unwilling."

"Friends of the audience, friends of the audience! Welcome back to the second half of the semi-finals of the Club World Cup! The current host Lingnan South China Tigers are temporarily behind the Madrid Pirates with a score of 0:2... There are 45 minutes left in the game. No chance to score his 100th goal of the year in this game...he had a great chance in the first half but Duquet put the ball on the crossbar..."

When the referee blew the kick-off whistle for the second half, commentator He Feng said so.

After the first half, he resigned to his fate.

The focus has been on whether Hu Lai can become the first player in history to score more than 100 goals in a natural year.

This is obviously more suspenseful than the outcome of this game.
