Midfielder

Every morning, the sun will not stop its rise into the sky because of Lin Yi's melancholy, and Lin Yi's heavy breathing will still be heard on Benfica's training ground on time. Mourinho did not break his promise. He added Lin Yi to the training program on time.

In addition to the necessary physical confrontation and physical training, Mourinho began to try to let Lin Yi attack directly within 30 meters from the goal.

Mourinho saw the potential of Lin Yi's calf strength from the explosive test a few weeks ago. Instant explosive power is this little guy's advantage, but Mourinho needs to open another door for this kid. Guy is a little too humble in some ways.

"A qualified commander not only has to revitalize the entire team, but also has to be the key to unlocking the deadlock in the game at critical moments."

"From the day I started following your training and games, I rarely saw you taking the initiative to shoot on the court. Yes, you can use the pass to tear apart the opponent's defense, but you have to be clear, don't let the pass pass you. The ball becomes a cage that locks oneself in.”

"If the opponent understands that you are the kind of guy who can only pass the ball, then you will easily fall into passivity. Because they only need to keep an eye on your passing route, and you do not have any ability to threaten the goal."

"If you want to open a big enough gap from your opponent, you not only have to pass the ball like a knife, but more importantly, you have to become a knife yourself!"

"Deep in, you should be like a knife directly to the opponent's throat in the middle. Remember, there should be many ways to kill the opponent, instead of indulging yourself in passing the ball."

"Think about the legends of this club. Rui Costa will also seize the opportunity to hit the opponent hard when attacking. This is a qualified midfielder. This is how modern football is, you can pass the ball To sort out the team's context, you should also learn to use proactive offensive methods to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm."

Lin Yi nodded to indicate that he understood the question, shooting? In fact, Lin Yi can use his beautiful footwork to pass ghostly passes, which is enough to prove that he has a good feel for football.

It's just that when he played in the dilapidated pitches behind Sebatur and the church, he was used to directing others on the field instead of becoming a finisher. His footwork is actually not bad, but he is not yet good at it. Get used to letting yourself solve problems.

Compared with shooting, Lin Yi prefers to see the moment when his pass shreds the opponent's defense. Those surprised eyes and the goalkeeper's desperate eyes are his favorite. However, he understood that Mourinho was right. He was indeed paranoid about passing the ball when attacking.

This is a disease and must be cured. . .

"One hour of shooting training every day, try to shoot from multiple angles, practice with both your left and right feet!" Mourinho's voice seemed a bit stiff, but Lin Yi fully understood what the serious-looking guy in front of him was doing.

When a person wishes you well, he will use the strictest standards to ask you. If you are a puddle of mud, no one will care about your future. Although Lin Yi muttered all day long that the uncle in front of him was a tyrant, he never stopped training.

Mourinho rarely teaches a player one-on-one like this, except when he once served as a youth team coach in the Portuguese low-level league. But now Lin Yi, a kid who has just stepped into the threshold of professional football, has Let Mourinho pick up his old business again.

He needs to let this kid understand that knowing how to pass the ball is a must-have condition for an organizer, but forward penetration at critical moments will also be a key to winning the game, and sometimes being appropriately selfish is also a necessary choice.

Mourinho is very optimistic about this little black-haired guy, although he often mumbles incomprehensible languages ​​when looking at him.

But Mourinho has never been stingy in cultivating this kid, not only for the team's performance, but also for the kid's future.

Lin Yi does not lack talent or skills, but what he lacks is practical experience and systematic training in professional football. That little guy looks more natural on the football field, and the most primitive things in football seem to flow through his veins.

But there are too many things that cannot be cultivated, and the wildness in that kid is one of the reasons why Mourinho pays so much attention to him.

Dare to fight, even when competing in groups, Lin Yi also showed a very fierce side on the court. He was not cute at all at this time.

He never lets the football be easily broken under his feet. Unless the defender relies on his body advantage to knock him down very fiercely, otherwise it will be really difficult to steal the football from his feet.

Even if someone could intercept Lin Yi's dribbling, he would immediately turn around and counterattack. Mourinho found that this kid had a strong South American player style when intercepting the ball.

Lin Yi trusts his first judgment very much, calculating that he may not get the ball back immediately, but he will definitely make it impossible for you to continue dribbling the ball.

If Lin Yi is still like a gentleman when organizing offense, then when he intercepts others in the midfield, he is more like a fierce robber.

This kid has extremely strong self-confidence. Perhaps Mourinho can often see this characteristic of Lin Yi in himself.

They are both the kind of people who are extremely confident in themselves, but one is on the court and the other is off the court. They both firmly believe that the choices they make are correct.

This little guy has a spirit of not admitting defeat, which is what Mourinho appreciates the most. A person who likes to bow his head and admit defeat will never become a great man. Just like when Lin Yi was dribbling the ball on the field, no matter whether you win or lose, you must hold your head high and look at all your opponents.

Lin Yi never likes to admit defeat, just like when he first practiced football with that man, he liked to see the short smile on the man's face and the gentle eyes of his mother when he won the ball, which is why he kept playing football.

On the football field, he had memories of all the happy days in the past, but from the day he chose football for a living, he understood that he had to take on more responsibilities, and careers often represent responsibilities.

And now, he understands why he chose football. Seeing the green lawn and hearing the cheers of the audience, his blood is boiling.

"That is a kind of madness that makes blood vessels hot." Lin Yi can still remember the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the game with Ferreira.

From an orphan who was forgotten in a corner to an idol facing tens of thousands of people cheering, those short 30 minutes have made Lin Yi understand what he should do. If he still wants to hear that crazy shout, he has no choice but to sweat more on the training ground.

If he wants to succeed, he has to grit his teeth and do everything well from now on. Lin Yi knows that he has no way out and can only grit his teeth and move forward.

Such training will start from the early morning every day, last for two to three hours, and then continue after the team's regular training.

Even those old guys who have played football for more than ten years are a little shocked by the intensity of this training, but the black-haired boy seems to be unaware of it.

Mourinho uses such a mature training method to stimulate Lin Yi. He believes that the little guy has the ability to accept this kind of high-intensity indoctrination.

Lin Yi's training continues crazily, but his playing time in each official game is still stuck within 30 minutes by Mourinho. Even if Lin Yi has made 1 assist in three games, he can't snatch one more minute of playing time from Mourinho.

"30 minutes is a limit. If he is forced to extend the time in the game, it will only harm him." For a little guy whose body is still in the development stage, Mourinho still needs to protect him as much as possible. He can be a surprise soldier, but not a regular weapon.

I really don't know when I can start. Every time Lin Yi sits on the bench and watches his teammates running on the field, he will think so. He is eager to run on the field, but now it seems that the head coach has no such plan for the time being.

"Wait for the opportunity... I hope I can do better." Every day during training, Lin Yi will say this to himself. This is not to remind himself, but to spur himself. He needs to use practical actions to prove that he can do it.

Maybe it was the victory over Ferreira at the Stadium of Light that brought back the confidence of Benfica. Maybe it was Lin Yi's interlaced running and ball distribution on the field that brought more vitality to the team's offense. In the next four games, Benfica won all the games.

Lin Yi also began to be favored by more and more Benfica supporters, especially some female fans. There was no way. That boy had a face that was too cute and was easily accepted by women. Even his orphan status would attract more love.

"That boy has a very deceptive face... Those women are too crazy..." All the Benfica players were speechless watching Lin Yi being frantically called by female fans, hugged, and kissed. He was really an enviable guy.

"Help... Life... Ah..." Lin Yi swore that he absolutely didn't like being envied like this. Damn, being molested by hundreds of 30-something aunts, what's so exciting about that? Put you in a pile of women like this, can you get excited?

The continuous victory made Benfica's ranking start to climb from the middle of the league to the fourth place. Now it is only 5 points away from the first-ranked Sporting Lisbon. Many newspapers began to say that Benfica's recovery is unstoppable, and the next derby in Lisbon will be worth looking forward to.

Lin Yi has contributed 3 assists so far, and the pride of Sporting Lisbon has scored 3 goals in 4 games. The competition between the twin stars has already begun.

The most proud person now is probably Mendes. All his work focus has been placed in the city of Lisbon. The shining stars of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lin Yi have made him see the harvest of his bet.

However, a very troublesome thing now is that Chris's contract has been finalized, and Lin Yi, the little guy who was promoted from the youth team, has not yet reached a working relationship with the club.

It's not that Mendes himself doesn't want to talk about this issue, but no one from Benfica from top to bottom has received him. Everyone's mind has been used on the presidential election. As for the future of a 15-year-old child, there is no much concern.

Who knows if someone else has been replaced on the rostrum tomorrow morning, and who knows if the next chairman will still pay so much attention to the black-haired kid. He is just a star of hope, not a famous star.

It is not certain whether he can stay in Benfica as others expect. No one knows whether there will be a new chairman and whether he will start buying those already famous guys.

Mendes really has nothing to say about such work efficiency. He is helpless. He even has to explain to Lin Yi why the work contract has not been settled. Fortunately, the boy is now fighting with Mourinho on the training ground and rarely asks about these things.

"You are professional, I won't ask too much, I am only responsible for playing well, I believe you will handle everything, anyway, you are my agent, everything is up to you." Lin Yi knows that these things are beyond his ability, so he might as well not care.

Mourinho has been booed less and less when he stands on the sidelines. When the team's ranking gradually rises, not many people think about whether this guy has coached a professional team before, and whether he is qualified to coach a giant.

The fans' requirements are actually very simple, winning, winning the championship, and playing beautifully. As long as you can meet their wishes, then they will have the opportunity to worship you and lift you to the sky. On the other hand, it is the kind of experience that Mourinho enjoyed a few weeks ago, which is simply worse than death.

The better the black-haired kid performs on the court, the more it proves Mourinho's unique vision of judging people. Both guys have won the respect of others in their own way. Now the Stadium of Light is filled with more cheers for them than the curses they once had.

Although the team's performance has begun to get better and better, Benfica's troubles are far from over. As a wealthy club, it is always full of struggles for interests. Problems on the court can be solved with feet, but the players cannot control some factors outside the court.

Benfica's presidential election has reached the final stage. The competition between Villariño and Azevedo for the presidency has reached a white-hot point. They are trying to find the flaws of their opponents, and the language and behavior of attacking each other have begun to flood the entire club.

According to the words of those Benfica fans, "This is simply a civil war. The struggle between two idiots is destroying Benfica."

But they have no choice. It is a game of politicians. These ordinary fans have no way to control anything and can only watch helplessly.

Mourinho never wanted to get involved in such club affairs. He just wanted to lead Benfica to play quietly.

Winning the championship is what a coach should do, but some people will not let go of this new guy because he has become a stumbling block for others. Now those people want to kick him out of the position of head coach in various ways.

Villariño, the main competitor for the chairman's position, has long regarded this guy signed by Azevedo as a person in the opponent's camp. The better the record of Benfica, the more unfavorable it is for him.

He has publicly said in the media more than once that a team of Benfica's status should be equipped with an excellent coach, not those without any experience. Mourinho is obviously not among the ranks of excellent coaches.

Whether Mourinho admits this fact or not, he has been classified as Azevedo's camp, even if he has not said anything.

The strongest fortress is often broken from the inside. When Benfica has just gathered its courage. A disgusting force is dividing them again, and even makes everyone feel disgusted.

The players have inevitably been disturbed by this unstable factor in their training and competition mood. No one knows what the final result of the chairman's election battle will be. If a new chairman is elected, where will the future of these players be? Everyone is waiting anxiously.

"This damn infighting!" Mourinho cursed this power struggle in private. Lin Yi heard such curses in person, but he didn't know how to tell the serious uncle about it.

Although Lin Yi still doesn't feel anything about such power struggles, he still has to compete with numerous training subjects every day and avoid the crazy entanglement of the auntie fan group, but he can already see too much worry from Mourinho's frown.

"What can I do for you?" Lin Yi asked Mourinho suddenly after the training. No matter what he can do, he hopes that this uncle can have less troubles, even if he can accompany him to drink a beer, but the premise must be that someone will sell it to him.

"The filth in the adult world has nothing to do with you. Your task is to train and play, and pay less attention to the mess outside." Mourinho rejected Lin Yi's kindness, waved and left the training ground, but the back figure looked a little melancholy in Lin Yi's eyes.

The troubles of adults, alas... Lin Yi looked at the guy who was going away, and he could only sigh and said that now he just hoped that these annoying things would pass by quickly, instead of disturbing others endlessly.

"It's all about money." Lin Yi spat fiercely on the ground, as if he wanted to spit out the haze surrounding the Benfica team.

The damn weather seemed to be messing with it at this time, and the fine raindrops hit Lin Yi's body, but it couldn't dispel the irritability in Lin Yi's heart.

No one can see Benfica's tomorrow clearly... Everyone is cursing this damn election, including Lin Yi...

A future with an unknown result... For everyone...
