Chapter 159 Failure Not Allowed

Chapter 159 Failure Not Allowed

Edward attaches great importance to the spiritual construction of Union Berlin, both within the team and externally.

It is true that Materazzi is a villain on the court, but he does have many advantages. First of all, he is not a villain off the court, but a very quiet person. He is very gentle to his family and his wife. Will bring him to Union Berlin.

Not to mention on the court, Materazzi is a very responsible player.He is a bit like the loyal brother in the previous Hong Kong movies. Anyway, the young people in the team like him very much. In their words, Marco is a person who can protect his teammates. As long as he is on the court, he will never have to worry about being bullied by opposing players.

Being able to say such absolute words shows how much the players of Union Berlin trust Materazzi.

Of course, his approach also has side effects. This guy is a big eater, and he may be sent off the field suddenly after playing a game, so he can only be the candidate for the team captain. .

The city of Berlin was in action for the second leg against Liverpool.Everywhere you can see high-spirited Union fans, serious-looking, arguing incessantly, hoping to come up with an idea to turn defeat into victory.

"Let's go."

Edward, who was sitting in the car, greeted the bodyguard, who started the car and drove towards Hoffman Manor.

Edward sometimes likes to listen to what the fans say on the street, after all, he also needs to understand the thoughts of the fans.I don't know if the team's performance is too strong. The fans I heard today feel that they can reverse the game. It is good to have this kind of confidence.

"Eddie~~"

As soon as Edward got home, he took off his coat when Caroline ran up and threw herself on him.

A few girls have been traveling for a month or so, and it's normal for him to play that one.

Edward patted Caroline's younger generation to calm her emotions. Looking at Winona Ryder who was waiting behind her, she also stretched out her other arm, and Winona Ryder also rushed up.

This girl regards Edward as everything, and she didn't feel much at the beginning, but after traveling for a long time, there is not a day when she doesn't want to miss Edward.

But she still only called Edward at noon, for fear of affecting him when Edward was working at night.

"Is it fun?"

Holding the two girls in his arms, Edward asked softly.

"It's okay." Winona Ryder replied lightly. She wanted to come back a long time ago, but several people agreed that the multi-country tour would not be a disappointment.

Caroline immediately jumped aside when she heard his question, and chirped: "It's very interesting, we also saw the aurora and bought you a lot of things."

She dragged Edward to go inside, Edward helplessly cared about Winona Ryder, the girl covered her mouth and chuckled.

Edward didn't seem to have any good ideas for Caroline. Edward always favored this young girl. She wasn't jealous, but just found it interesting.

"It's a Christmas hat."

"I also bought a lot of postcards... to post to Mom later."

"These are snacks, oh... If you don't like them, then I'll eat them myself."

"I bought this dress for you, isn't it very retro?"

Caroline took out one by one from the box, which worried Edward, the girl's belly was already a little big.

Edward grabbed her and said softly, "Okay, okay, let me hug you."

Hearing what Edward said, she really didn't continue.

Edward is very good at dealing with girls. They don't want to hear the straightforward "I love you, I miss you", but if you don't show it at all, they will get angry again, so skills are very important at this time.

You have to show that you miss her inadvertently, so that the girl can feel more empathy.Of course, this kind of thing is divided into different people, and girls with different personalities have different ways of dealing with it.

During dinner, Caroline was still chirping.

Scarlett was called back by her mother while traveling with them, as if she had received a movie.

Caroline took Winona all the way from Eastern Europe to Western Europe at night. She was really happy during this trip. Her mother used to be stricter, and she rarely had the opportunity to play like this.

The next day Edward spent a day with them at home specially.

On Wednesday, several girls went with him to the Fossell Stadium, and even his son came. Edward hoped that important people would be around at this time.

Mendes, a very smart person, also appeared at the Fossere Stadium. This kind of time is a good opportunity to have a relationship with Eduardo, and he will naturally not miss it.

"Mr. Edward, recently I signed a promising player in the Schalke 04 youth academy. If you need it, I can transfer him to Union Berlin."

"Oh? What's his name?"

Edward is interested. He has been paying attention to where Ozil is. If he can find Ozil, he will definitely let this bastard rot on the bench of Union Berlin.

"Julian, Julian Draxler, although he is not yet 10 years old, but he is a very promising player, I think he will definitely become a big star in the future, it will be better if he comes to Union Berlin development of."

"Yes, give me a videotape."

Hearing that it was Draxler, Edward was no longer interested, just to not dissuade Mendes' enthusiasm and make him feel surprised. It is impossible to judge a player by a name, that would be too strange.

Draxler is indeed a talented player, but this player had serious problems with his career planning in his previous life, and he is not a super genius, so Edward is not very interested in saving his career.

Draxler was the proud son of heaven in Schalke 04, but he suddenly defected to Wolfsburg without warning. This kind of thing really makes people not like it.

In a familiar team, the team is willing to meet all your requirements. Edward really can't think of the reason for his sudden defection.

The atmosphere at the Fossele stadium was extremely hot today, and the fans knew that it was a battle of life and death for the team. Before the players showed up on the court to warm up, they kept using high-pitched singing to boost morale.

When the players came out to warm up, there was another round of cheers.

Mourinho made a lot of adjustments to the lineup today.

There is no doubt that Van der Sar is in the goalkeeper position. Stekelenburg, who also came from Ajax, will play him as a substitute. There is no suspense. As a reassuring part, he has a very solid goal-line technique and has a faster reaction ability than his peers.

On the back line, Mourinho also made adjustments today.

Alves delegated to the reserve team, and Sun Jihai appeared in the starting list.Although Friedrich's defense is more stable, his offensive ability is limited, so Mourinho chose Sun Jihai, who has a good pass.The two defenders are Pepe and Ramos. Although Materazzi and Nesta performed very well in the last game, they are also responsible for conceding the ball. The turning speed of the two of them is a problem, so Owen and Nesta Diouf found a chance. Today, the two guards were replaced by the faster Ramos and Pepe. It will be easier to deal with Irving.Seeing this central defender combination, Edward always has a feeling that time and space have turned. In the previous life, the two people always had frightening performances when they were in Real Madrid. Pepe and Ramos were the dirtiest defender combination in the world at that time. Unexpectedly, after going around and around, they were reunited in Berlin Union.

The left back is Philip Neville. Neville, who came out of the Manchester United youth training last game, performed very steadily, so he still appeared in the starting list today.As a Manchester United youth training player, Neville not only understands Liverpool better, but also has more motivation when playing Liverpool. Now Union Berlin needs this spirit.

The two defensive midfielders are Xavi Alonso and Cambiasso. This pair of partners can attack and defend well, and is responsible for the team's offensive and defensive transitions.

More important is today's frontcourt combination.

Mourinho made a lot of adjustments to the front four, because Ronaldinho and Robben were also sent to the reserve team, so today's right is Dirk, who is ubiquitous on both ends of the offense and defense The running ability can limit Liverpool to a great extent, but also bring some help to the team.

Just some help, not a big help, no way, he is really not an offensive genius, Dirk Dirk is very comprehensive, but nothing can be perfect, even so, Mourinho still believes in Dirk, he likes it Such a hardworking player.

The candidate for the front midfielder position is undoubtedly Sneijder. There is always an inexplicable trust between Sneijder and Mourinho. He also performed very well under Mourinho. At this time, Mourinho Ao will naturally believe in his lover.

Today's starter on the left is David Villa. Villa has balanced feet and good speed. Although he is not as sharp as Ronaldinho, his tactical execution is a level higher. When Ronaldo is not around, he is also a good candidate on the wing. He can cut inside or cross. There is a lot of uncertainty. It is difficult for the opponent to defend. The only problem is that he is not a wide player. When handling the ball, he chooses There may be some problems.

On the single arrow, Mourinho once again made an amazing choice.He did not use Robin van Persie, who was back from the ban, but chose Marco Materazzi.

Although Materazzi's turning speed is not fast, but the impact is still good. Today, it seems that he is going to attack in the sea, land and air. He may also play a wide cross with Liverpool. In the last game, he was smashed by the opponent with a high ball. On the field, it is understandable for Mourinho to be angry.

After the game started, the two sides started fighting each other again.

Today Houllier's team did not play conservative because of the away game, they actually chose to attack, which is simply dizzy.

But this situation is very good for Berlin Union. Mourinho looked at the Liverpool players on the field with disdain. You must know that Berlin Union has an away goal. If Liverpool still play like this, when the total score is equalized, they It's at a disadvantage.

But after Union Berlin stole the ball, Liverpool retracted more cleanly than anyone else.

"Shit!"

Mourinho couldn't help swearing. He was deceived. He thought that Liverpool really had the guts to play against Union Berlin in the away game. He didn't expect that they were just pretending at the beginning, whether they could score a goal. Now Union Berlin won. The ball, they returned to the defense faster than the rabbits. In a blink of an eye, Michael Owen himself was up and down the frontcourt, and even Diouf returned to the midfield to supplement the defense.

This is the most correct choice, already leading by 2 goals, there is no need to continue to compete with Union Berlin on offense.The fans of Union Berlin also saw Liverpool's plan, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with overwhelming boos.

Liverpool is a wealthy family, why would they place a bus in front of them?They have never seen such a shameless giant, and they put on a posture of sticking around for 90 minutes at the beginning of the game.If you were an ordinary wealthy family, you would never be able to do such a thing, and you really don't want any face.

Today, Union Berlin's breakthrough ability has declined from left to right. With this posture, Union Berlin has no good way to do it.

Mourinho regretted throwing Ronaldinho and Robben to the youth team. Then he thought that he did not make any mistakes. The team can lose or be eliminated, but the discipline of the team is discipline. who makes the change.

After taking the ball, Villa gave it to the middle. Today Sneijder also saw the team's problems.

In normal times, he is willing to make green leaves for his teammates and silently pass good balls, but at this time he still stands up. Even though it is difficult to break through the middle, Sneijder still dribbles the ball past Gerrard and runs all the way, forcing him to chase after him. The Liverpool captain pulled him down behind him.

A free kick in a good position.

For a team like Union Berlin, where all members can take free kicks, free kicks are also an important offensive method.

Edward is also looking forward to who will take the penalty.

It seems that it should be Xavi Alonso, Materazzi went directly into the penalty area, is this going to be a tactical free kick?

Sure enough, Xavi Alonso went directly to the top of Materazzi's head, but it was a pity that Carragher pushed the ball out of the penalty area first, and the Union Berlin fans sighed. foot.

His long-range shot bounced off the baseline off Gerrard's hand.

Union Berlin players all looked at the referee.

Seeing the referee's hesitation, Gerrard hurried over to explain: "Sir, I didn't do it on purpose. He kicked my hand, and I didn't extend it on my own initiative."

"Yeah, Steven didn't mean it."

Carragher helped explain.

But after thinking about it, the referee still showed a yellow card. In Gerrard's desperate eyes, he pointed to the penalty spot, penalty!

This penalty ignited the Fusele Stadium. In the opening 5 minutes, Union Berlin, which was playing at home, got a penalty kick.
