The strongest blade in football

Chapter 58 Miracle
In the next few days of training, Wang Nuo never talked to Jovanovic again.

And when Yovanovitch noticed the abnormality and took the initiative to find him, Wang Nuo only said one sentence——

"You have been helping Yoksimovich from the beginning to the end. You don't regard me as a friend at all. You are no longer my friend."

The Serbian pretended not to understand at first, but when he found out that Wang Nuo really understood the truth, he revealed his true colors.

"Listen, this is a transaction. You should be honored to participate in it. I don't owe you anything!"

After speaking, he left indifferently, his attitude was completely different from the previous day.

At the same time, even Dalma's attitude towards Wang Nuo became much more indifferent.

But Wang Nuo didn't care at all, he devoted himself to the training without any distraction.

He wants to fully adapt to the rhythm of the first team and constantly correct some of the habits he used to play in the youth team.

Boloni has observed Wang Nuo's training since he signed the contract. In his opinion, Wang Nuo has exposed three problems.

The first question is that when Wang Nuo played as a winger, he often chose to cut inside after receiving the ball.

On the one hand, this shows that he is confident in his dribbling, and on the other hand, it will make it easier for opponents to predict in advance and make defensive moves.

Boloni thought of a way for Wang Nuo.

He found another player, took a short distance, aimed at one or both of Wang Nuo's feet, and kept passing the ball to him.

Boloni told Wang Nuo that if he received the ball with his right foot, he should accelerate to the bottom line and pass the ball.

In this way, he will save half a second of adjustment time and make it more difficult for the opponent to defend.

Wang Nuo's second problem is his lack of header ability.

He has a height of 1 meters, a strong physique, excellent jumping ability, and can play a center forward.

But Wang Nuo has been wandering on the wing in the past, the reason is that he has a bad judgment on where the header will land.

Boloni noticed that Wang Nuo liked to practice extra after training, so one day after training, he told coach Namr to let him accompany Wang Nuo to practice heading for half an hour every day.

"You scored 0 headers in the youth league, and I hope headers can become your scoring weapon." Boloni expected.

Wang Nuo's third problem is that when he plays full-backs and wingers, he always loses his position in defense.

He cares about offense, but is always slow on defense.

This is both a mentality issue and a technical issue.

When to retract, when to prevent the opponent from getting in, and when to assist in defense, it also requires hard work and hard work.

Wang Nuo felt that the problems pointed out by the coach were right on point. These are indeed his weaknesses, and to become an outstanding player, one must try to overcome his weaknesses.

Boloni was always able to spot problems and talked to the players regularly.

Sometimes it’s less formal, maybe in the office, in the stairwell, on the training ground or in the restaurant.

In short, as soon as he finds a problem, he communicates, understands the feelings of the players, and listens carefully to the feedback.

Wang Nuo speculates that this may be the key to the coach's success in the past.

Moreover, Boloni is not a rigid coach who makes everyone obey orders.

Wang Nuo remembered a training session. After warming up, Boloni pointed to the court and said to them, "Everyone, run from one baseline to the other at a sprint speed, ten times!"

Everyone looked at each other and expressed doubts, but no one dared to refute.

Then someone started to run, and Wang Nuo followed suit, when he heard Boloni shouting hurriedly behind him.

"Hey! Come back! What are you doing!"

Everyone looked at each other again, and Witsel couldn't help asking, "Coach, didn't you let us run?"

Boloni was disappointed: "The Champions League game will be played in two days. At this time, you will sprint back and forth 10 times. Can you stand on the court normally the day after tomorrow?"

"Why doesn't a single person come forward and say, hey, coach, your arrangement is wrong."

"Remember, you have to listen to me, but you must be able to think independently. Only when you think will you ask questions. Only when you ask questions will you understand. Only when you understand will you generate trust!"

Well, Wang Nuo's understanding of Boloni is getting deeper and deeper. He is a person who is good at finding problems and has great ideas.

In this way, time passed day by day.

On December 12th, Liege's much-anticipated big day finally came.

On this day, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Standard Liege played against Alkmaar at home.

Witsel changed into a new hairstyle that can bring good luck, Mabo Kani put on the wristband given to him by his mother, and Dufour prayed devoutly for half an hour before the game. Defour also came to watch the battle.

Tickets were sold out early. Although it was a mid-week night, except for the visiting team's fan area, the Dufrasen Stadium was full of seats.

The four major fans will set off fireworks, ten red flags are waving in the wind in the south stand, and countless fans hold the small red flags they receive when they enter the stadium, almost dyeing Dufrasen into a sea of ​​red.

At the same time, Arsenal's match with Greek team Olympiakos will also start simultaneously.

Before the game, Boloni was very dissatisfied when he learned that Arsenal had sent a group of young people to the away game to "feel the atmosphere of the Champions League". He cursed, but he had no choice.

By the end of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal ranked first with 13 points and already qualified ahead of schedule. They are eligible to use the last game as training.

In the same group, Olympiacos ranks second with 7 points, Standard Liege ranks third with 4 points, and Alkmaar is at the bottom with 3 points temporarily.

Except for Arsenal's steady entry into the Champions League, the remaining three teams remain in suspense.

Olympiacos and Standard Liege compete for the second place in the group, and Alkmaar is also aiming at the third place in the group to qualify for the Europa League!

Because Wang Nuo did not have time to sign up for the Champions League, this game can only be watched from the sidelines.

But he was not idle at all. In the half hour before the start of the game, he was ran by many children to ask for his autograph.

This is not a great thing, but Wang Nuo received great encouragement, which is an affirmation of his goal.

Young fans surrounded Wang Nuo with autograph books, and some children would ask, "Will you become a football star in the future?"

Wang Nuo also did this kind of thing when he was a child. When he was 11 years old in Brussels, he had a booklet that even his parents would not let him touch. It had dozens of signatures on it, but it was a pity that he lost it while watching a game.

For this he cried for a long time.

He knows how much children like to collect this thing, and the little fans are willing to ask you to leave an autograph to show that they like you.

For this reason, Wang Nuo paid special attention to make sure that all the children who approached him had signed, and no one returned empty-handed. He wanted the children to be happy.

"Is everyone satisfied?" Seeing that all the children nodded, Wang Nuo sat back in his seat and began to watch the game.

This is a very, very important game. Even if Wang Nuo couldn't play, he still devoted [-] points of attention.

The game started.

After the opening, both sides had good chances. Alkmaar was the Eredivisie champion last year, and it is a very competitive team. Standard Liege did not fall behind in the cheers of the home fans.

But bad luck still came. Before halftime, the visiting team Lance received a diagonal pass from his teammate and scored a goal in front of the goal, pushing the standard to the cliff.

After the start of the second half, another bad news came. The Arsenal youth team fell behind Olympiacos by one goal.

The standard Liege players on the field knew that the situation was not good, and began to fight and attack like crazy, and gradually took some initiative.

In the 56th minute, Dalma made a wonderful pass to Jovanovic, and the shot was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the 73rd minute, Camargo went straight to the outside of the instep with his left foot, and Mabaokani waded into the penalty area, and the shot with his right foot was destroyed by the goalkeeper and went out of the baseline.

In the 87th minute, Standard Liege's corner kick hit Saar in front of the goal and almost hit the goal, and was cleared by defender Karavan on the goal line.

Time passed by, the fourth official raised his card, and a player was injured in the second half, and there were 6 minutes of stoppage time.

But 6 minutes is gone in the blink of an eye.

Wang Nuo saw that the faces of his teammates on the field gradually became gray and defeated, that kind of expression that was finished and there was no play.

The same goes for most of the fans, anxious, yelling, booing everything that slows down the offense, hoping time slows down a bit.

Boloni was so nervous that he squatted on the sidelines and bit his fist.

At this moment, in the chaos of the frontcourt, Standard Liege No. 17 Camosatu was shoveled to the ground and won a free kick more than 30 meters away from the goal.

Everyone is like a drowning person resurfaced to grab the last straw on his head.

Standard Liege players all ran near the opponent's penalty area, and even the goalkeeper Borat abandoned the goal, adding a little weight to the balance.

Some in the audience prayed, some wept, others closed their eyes and buried their heads in their clothes.

The free kick was taken, chaos in the penalty area, Mabokani fell, Casey fell, and the football passed over everyone's heads.

At this moment, a yellow figure leaped high, his clothes were pulled, but he still jumped very high.

A beautiful look back at the moon, the ball into the dead corner of the goal.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper Borat has created a miracle! ! !

He equalized the game as goalkeeper! ! !

The game is over!
The players on the bench poured into the stadium to celebrate, and the crazy fans in the stands were more like a nuclear bomb explosion, and there was chaos everywhere.

Wang Nuo was hugged tightly by a female fan she didn't know, and her neck was strangled until she couldn't breathe.

This night, Standard Liege kept the third place in the group and took the last train of the Europa League!
Miraculously stayed in the European arena!
