Chapter 1932 "The Great Emperor" Appears

The game is going on normally, and players from both sides compete for the ball in the midfield.

Football is flying in the air, neither belongs to the Chinese team, nor does it belong to Italy.

At this moment, there was a loud commotion at the scene.

It was cheers mixed with boos.

That left fans watching live on TV in a daze as to what was happening.

But soon they heard the excited voices of their commentators:

"Caesar got up from the bench and ran to warm up! It looks like he is going to come off the bench!"

The same goes for the Chinese narrator:

"Caviglia will replace Caesar, what does this mean? It means that the Italian team is not willing to accept a draw... This is also normal. Their last round of group stage will face the host who has a last stand. If this game is just a draw , then it means little to them. Only by winning the Chinese team can they take more initiative..."

"This is actually good news for the Chinese team. Italy will definitely step up its offensive, so that there will be more space behind them, and the Chinese team can fight back..."

Whether it was He Feng or Yan Kang, when the two of them mentioned that Caesar was going to play, they were full of excitement, looking forward to what would happen next.

It stands to reason that, as a legendary Italian superstar, Caesar's appearance often means a nightmare for the opponent.

But that was before.

The current Caesar has long lost that deterrent power.

His appearance was regarded by the opponent as a loophole that could be exploited...

It has to be said that even the most die-hard Caesars fans would wish that their idol would simply retire in order to avoid further humiliation.

So when his companions congratulated Tang Yuan and Caesar was about to appear on stage, the expression on Tang Yuan's face was not happy.

He even said: "Why are you changing at this time? Are you taking the blame?"

"Caesar is coming."

Qin Lin's tone was a little nervous.

Unlike those optimistic fans and commentators, he smelled danger from this substitution.

The outside world is belittling Caesar a lot now, but Qin Lin has always felt that this kind of belittling and ridicule is fine if it stays at the level of public opinion.

But if professional coaches also believe the jokes made up by the fans, I'm afraid it's not so good...

Although Caesar missed several chances in the last game against Nigeria, he was inactive until he was replaced.

But in any case, this is a superstar who has created many miracles.

He should never be underestimated!

When Qin Lin was nervous about Caesar's warm-up, Dillon, who was not far from him, had no time to pay attention to his former favorite student.

His eyes were all focused on Luo Kai, and his brows were slightly frowned.

After pondering for a while, he said to Qin Lin: "Qin, go and call Li back from the warm-up area."

Qin Lin took the order to leave, and at the same time, he was thinking about what kind of substitutions Dillon was going to make, who he would replace, why, and what adjustments he would make in tactics...etc.

But after he called Li Rong back, he realized that Luo Kai might be injured!

Because Dillon is telling the team doctor to get ready.

So he leaned over and asked Yu Jintao in a low voice: "What's wrong with Luo Kai?"

"The old man said that when Luo Kai was fighting with Cheli in the penalty area just now, his left ankle may be overloaded to support his body..."

"Ah?" Qin Lin was very surprised, he didn't notice this at all, judging from Luo Kai's running movements in the past few minutes of the game, everything seemed to be normal. "I didn't see anything..."

"The old man said that considering Luo Kai's character, even if he feels uncomfortable, he will not take the initiative to express it, especially if he shows it, he may be replaced. If you see that he is running normally, then It shows that he is deliberately covering up. But Luo Kai’s right leg was obviously not stretched enough in the fight just now, so he missed the ball. In fact, at that distance, if Luo Kai is healthy, it is entirely possible to pass the ball Hooked back..."

Yu Jintao asked Dillon about this doubt just now, so he told Qin Lin exactly what Dillon had told him.

"...Combined with the recovery of Luo Kai's injury, the old man dare not take this risk."

When Caesar was still warming up, the Chinese team took the lead in completing the substitution.

"Eh? Luo Kai wants to go?" He Feng and Yan Kang were a little surprised.

Just now the two were still analyzing that after Caesar played, the Chinese team could focus on playing fast offense.

And if you want to be fast enough, you need two wide players, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai.

As a result, Dillon has now replaced Luo Kai...

"In the last game, Luo Kai played for 62 minutes and was replaced. This game played for 74 minutes. Luo Kai's performance was still very diligent. He had two shots on target, but the luck of scoring in front of the goal was a bit unlucky. ...Maybe he was still affected by the injury, and he couldn't fully display his own characteristics...Dillon should also be worried about Luo Kai's injury, so he replaced him in advance..."

The two quickly guessed why Dillon replaced Luo Kai.

In all likelihood, it was still related to his injury.

Since being injured in the Champions League semi-final, Roquet has missed all the remaining club games and almost missed the World Cup.

Even if he catches up now, the injury is not completely healed.

No way, if you really want to be quick, you probably have to wait until the end of the World Cup.

If you really want to do this, Luo Kai will be the first to be unhappy. He has worked hard for four years, from the Dutch second league to the Premier League, isn't it just to participate in the World Cup? Let him not participate in the World Cup, how is it possible?

Dillon is actually unwilling to kick Luo Kai out of the World Cup list. Because his tactics really need wingbacks like Luo Kai.

So it doesn't matter if the injury is not over. Anyway, few professional players are in absolute health. They are more or less injured. Most of them are fighting with injuries, so it is enough to arrange their playing time reasonably.

He Feng and Yan Kang thought Dillon was worried that Luo Kai's injury would not heal quickly, and they didn't dare to let him play the whole game.

But I didn't expect that Luo Kai's unhealed injury might get worse...

Luo Kai who was replaced was actually very disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face because he knew why he was replaced.

He had just finished handing over with Li Rong, when the head coach Dillon took the opportunity to pat him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Let Master Feng check your ankle for you."

He knew that he was seen through by the head coach just now...

So he hung his head to find the team doctor, Master Feng.

This team doctor, who also participated in two World Cups, is a real expert in the field of sports medicine in China. After a simple inspection, he concluded that Luo Kai's ankle injury was at risk of recurrence, and arranged for ice packs first.

At the same time, he also criticized Luo Kai: "Why are you pretending? If the head coach didn't replace you in time, do you want to be like Ramirez? What's the point of you playing a few more minutes in this game? In exchange Are you happy that you won’t be able to play all the matches in the World Cup?”

Luo Kai was so scolded that he bowed his head and remained silent, unable to refute, and did not dare to refute.

Qin Lin, who was observing the situation, saw this scene and was convinced that Luo Kai was really injured.

He had to admire Dillon's vicious vision.

This may be a 70-year-old coach accumulated over the years of coaching career.

In this regard, I really still have a lot to learn.

Not only professional knowledge such as techniques and tactics and training arrangements, but also a lot of "wisdom" as a coach.

Luo Kai was injured just now, was it simply "Dillon's poisonous vision" that saw it?

After thinking about it, Qin Lin felt that it was not that simple.

You can't see it just by looking at it.

For example, after Cheli was kicked down by Luo Kai, his expression and movements when he got up were too deceptive.

But Dillon drew conclusions from Luo Kai's character and playing habits, which are much more reliable and advanced than just seeing with eyes.

Because the external things can be disguised, but the core things such as personality and habits are particularly difficult to change.

But this also requires the coach to know every player under his command like the back of his hand, and put in a lot of effort to do these things.

Qin Lin felt that he really couldn't do this now.

He still spends too much time on studying skills and tactics, and it is impossible to focus on digging the heart of every player under him.

This is not a problem, after all, he is still young, and it takes time to accumulate experience and experience.

Now he can't force him to develop skills like Dillon's.

But this incident is still a reminder to Qin Lin, reminding him to consciously pay attention to the improvement of this aspect of ability, and not just think about techniques and tactics in his mind.

Otherwise, he would just be a coach, at most an assistant coach, and what else would he be a head coach?

Not long after Luo Kai was replaced, there was another loud noise at the scene, which was still mixed with boos and cheers, which fully demonstrated the complicated status of Celius Caesar, the old king, who can be "up or down" in people's minds. .

"Celius Caesar stood outside the sideline of the court, he was about to be replaced! There was a huge cheer from the audience!"

It had to be a professional commentator, so he was able to describe the sound as cheers, creating an atmosphere where all the fans were welcoming the appearance of "The Great".

Chinese fans may really welcome it - when Caesar didn't start ~lightnovelpub.net~ Many people on the Internet said that Italy took the initiative to reduce the burden. Now that Caesar has come off the bench, according to this logic, isn't it because Italy puts on weight for itself?

It's hard to say how many Italian fans, or Italian fans around the world, welcome Caesar on the stage.

The pre-match "Corriere dello Sport" poll, although it was their "family opinion", did reflect the current "public opinion" in Italy—the vast majority of Italian fans really believed that the 38-year-old Celius Caesar It's hard to bring any help to the team anymore. He should abdicate, step down from that throne, and do a good job of handing over the shift, giving everyone and himself a dignity.

Amid the uproar, Italy's starting striker, Daniele Di Kunzo, walked to the sidelines and gave Caesar a high-five.

The latter patted Di Kunzo on the back before running onto the field.

He sprinted onto the court just as he had done countless times before.

After the first few steps, he slowed down and ran slowly towards his position with his head held high, like a proud lion walking on the African savannah.

"At seventy-six minutes into the game, the 'Great Emperor' appeared!"
