Chapter Eleven Yellow Vests
The game was still not over in the end. Probably coach Mandolini really couldn't bear the poor performance of some players on the field. He announced the end of the game just ten minutes into the second half.
When he left, Mandolini felt pain and joy in his heart. Degan's performance made him shine, and he was full of hope for the team's prospects in the new season. In addition, Pacini, Lazzari, and Al Bettini, Montolivo's performance is also very good.
But some people really let him down, their performance on the court was not even as good as elementary school students. It can be predicted that some people have completely lost their position before the start of the new season.
Degan was also very satisfied with his performance today. After that goal, at the end of the first half, he fired a long shot from outside the penalty area to open the goal guarded by Taibi.
In the second half, his performance was still eye-catching. First, he made a cross from the wing, accurately found Paccini at the back point, pushed and scored, and then Pacini reciprocated, crossed the penalty area, and assisted Degan to complete a hat-trick.
The main team got two points from two free kicks by Albertini. In today's world football, when people mention free kick masters, they only think of Beckham's arc, but they don't know Albertini's. The deciduous ball is also unique in the world.
The game was called to stop. Although Digan was not enjoying himself, he had no choice but to hook up with his good friend Pacini and walk towards the locker room happily.
"Rod! Your performance today is simply amazing. I can't wait to start the new season soon, and surprise all the first-tier teams!"
Degan laughed and said, "Gianpaolo! Don't forget, we are also a first-tier team now!"
Paccini was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, scratched his hair, and said: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it, it's great, I'm going to play in Serie A too, Rhodes! We will be in Serie A The best strike partner on the field! The defense of all teams will be crushed by us!"
"Don't be too complacent, brat! A good performance in a training game is nothing at all, you are still far behind!"
Saudati came over from behind, snorted coldly at the two of them, and walked over with his head raised.
Pacini seemed to have discovered Columbus in the New World, and looked at Digan with a puzzled face: "He is so arrogant, just now he behaved like a clown on the court!"
Digan didn't take it seriously, of course the defeated Shiba Gou would bark a few times, the winner would take this seriously: "Don't pay attention to him! I think he must be menstruating today, look at him The way you walk looks like you're wearing a sanitary napkin!"
Paccini was amused by Digan's description, neither of the two saw that Saudati's face was so dark that they could play Bao Qingtian.
After taking a shower and rejecting Paccini's invitation to have a drink together, Degan is going home and the new season is about to start. He doesn't want to leave a bad impression on Mandolini because of some things outside the stadium.
The Atlanta club rented a house for him, not too far from the team's training ground. Degan didn't drive, but ran back. Now this body is very good, but it hasn't been practiced. Degan wants to In the new season, he will become famous without a good body. He has to hurry up and adjust his body to the best condition. When the season starts, he will surprise everyone.
Degan left, but left Mandolini with a difficult problem, which position Degan should play. Judging from today's performance, winger, organizational midfielder, striker, Degan can be competent in every position.
This is also thanks to Digan's rich experience in his previous life. At the beginning, he played as a center forward, but because of his thin body and his tragic height, he changed positions.
The head coach of Chengdu Sheffield United arranged for him to play as a winger because of his extraordinary speed, but Degan didn't like this position very much, so he became an organizational midfielder again.
If Digan is placed in the midfield position, although his technical and organizational expertise can be used, his scoring ability is wasted. If he is placed in the winger position, the left channel of the stadium is occupied, but No one can guarantee that the forwards of the team can turn every cross from Degan into a goal. Through today's game, Mandolini also discovered that the only reliable forwards in the team are Degan and Parsons. Chiny two.
In the end, Mandolini decided to use Digan as a center. If the team suffers injuries in the second half of the season, it can be adjusted again.
There are many players who are very disgusted with being a jack of all trades, but Deegan has no such eccentricity. The more positions he can play, the opportunities he will get will increase accordingly. This is a good thing, who would foolishly yell at the coach : "I want a fixed position!"
All right! Go to the reserve team to report!
Soon it will be the day before the start of the new season. Before the group training, everyone's heart is hanging. Everyone knows that Mandolini will announce today the starting lineup for the first game of the new season at home against Lecce tomorrow. list.
Although he knew that he had great hopes, Degan still couldn't help feeling nervous. When he left Kaka's house, he blew it out. Wouldn't it be a big embarrassment if you couldn't get in.
"Are you nervous?" Pacini looked at Digan with a smile.
After these two days of contact, Digan discovered that his good friend is a heartless fool who doesn't care about anything, but his expression seems to be full of confidence in the eyes of others look.
Digan replied angrily: "Bullshit! Who doesn't want to be the main player!"
Paccini didn't mind either, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! As long as the coach is not crazy, your main position is pretty sure!"
Digan could only say silently in his heart: I hope so.
There is no doubt about the starting goalkeeper Taibi. Although this guy always makes some very funny mistakes on the field, he is definitely the most reliable one in Atlanta's current formation.
The four defenders are Bellini, Natali, Sala and Rivalta from left to right. Basically speaking, experience and strength are required. Italian football is about team defense, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, and being able to Serie A teams play in the back position, and they can secure their main position in other leagues.
Gonella's expression was a little gloomy. He should have partnered with Natali at the central defender position, but the poor performance of defending Digan in the team's training match that day made Mandolini seem not to trust him so much. him.
In the first game of the new season, the old defender Sarah who once played for AC Milan was sent, probably for stability.
The defensive midfielder is Albertini who does his part. Although he is old and abandoned by AC Milan, in this position, he can definitely rank among the top five in Serie A.
As he gets older, his physical function declines, but just relying on experience, Albertini is enough to be proud of the Serie A arena.
The left midfielder Zenoni and the right midfielder Marcolini, one of these two has played for the giants Juventus, and the other is also a veteran who has been fighting in Serie A for many years. It is appropriate to hand over the two wings of the team to them.
It's just that Degan's heart is a little anxious, which means that he has lost one chance, but it doesn't matter, there are still three places.
Organizational midfielder Montolivo, although Degan is disappointed, it is understandable. Compared with him, a newcomer who has just arrived, Montolivo is the new prince of Atlanta fans.
forward!
The ears of several people on the training ground were pricked up, waiting for Mandolini to announce.
"Gianpaolo Paccini!"
Paccini couldn't hide a smile on his face, which he deserved. After Rossini left, he became the new hope of Atlanta's striker.
With the last spot left, Mandolini did not directly announce, but threw out the yellow vest, which symbolized the main position, and landed directly in Digan's arms.
"Rod! You deserve this, don't let me down!"
Before Digan had time to be happy, his joyful mood was broken by a roar.
"Why? Coach, I want to know why?" Saudati jumped out excitedly, growling loudly.
Mandolini's face darkened, and he said: "Whoever is in good condition will play, I remember I told everyone when I first came to Bergamo."
"But I don't understand, did this kid fight with us last season? He didn't do anything, and I worked hard for the team to be promoted. Why did he take away my starting position as soon as he came? !"
Mandolini's face became more and more ugly. As a head coach, being questioned by his own players in front of the whole team was a great challenge to his authority.
"Luka Saudati! I think you should go to the reserve team to calm down. From tomorrow onwards, the first team will not need you!"
Saudati didn't realize how big a mistake he had made, he just felt that he had been insulted, severely insulted, which filled his heart with great anger: "Okay! You don't need me anymore, I Let's see what these two furry kids can do for Atlanta!"
After Saudati left, Mandolini's face was still ugly, and he turned to look at Digan, who was so frightened that Digan quickly put the yellow vest on his body, as if he was afraid that Mandolini would take it back again.
Mandolini was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said with a straight face, "Rod! I gave you trust, and I think you should give me something in return!"
return!
Unspoken rules!
**Disabled!
I have to admire Degan's imagination, this guy's mind is definitely full of unhealthy things, but fortunately, Mandolini is not really interested in that aspect.
"Tomorrow's game, do everything you can, let the idiot who left know that my choice is not wrong at all!"
Digan knew that he had misunderstood, and immediately replied confidently: "Of course! Everyone knows that the coach's choice is always correct!"
