Chapter 4: What Thousands of People Say
After scoring the goal, Rochdal's offensive became even more vigorous. Xie Zhou's defense line was like a branch in the wind and rain, swaying left and right. Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half. With Chris Grady's last shot, the referee Anderch blew the whistle to the end of the first half.
Rochdal ended the first half with a 1-0 lead.
After halftime, Ouyang Ao began to find some of the feeling of being a football coach. In the locker room, he was no longer at a loss as before the game started, but instead took out a tactical board to select players who needed to be on guard in the first and second half, and formulated a tactical policy for the second half.
"With a victory to repay the fans who support us, guys, the gap of one ball is nothing. As long as you are full of fighting spirit, the victory will belong to us!"
Ouyang Ao searched for the conversation in the FM game in his mind, and then encouraged the players with crappy dialogues. However, for his "inspiring" encouragement, Xie Zhousan's players did not seem to catch a cold, and walked out of the locker room with a few echoes.
Ouyang Ao touched his nose embarrassedly. He originally wanted to quiver and encourage the team members, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
The ten-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides came out of the players' corridor and returned to the court.
The second half of the game begins!
Judging from the first half, Rochdal's offense was mainly placed on two sides. If you want to turn the tables, limiting the offenses of the two sides is the primary issue. However, judging from Xie Zhoushen's current personnel configuration, Ouyang Ao can play very few cards.
The highest strength value of the full-back candidate in the team is Federico, who has 60. Judging from the data, the strength values of 60 and 68 are not far different, but from the first half of the game, Federico's defense right side almost became Thompson's backyard corridor. If Thompson's cross quality was not very good, Xie Zhouzhai would have conceded more than one goal in the first half.
Ouyang Ao did have a headache. Federico, who has a 60-strength strength value, is the first choice for the full-back, while the strength values of other substitutes are even more unsightly.
Just as Ouyang Ao was thinking about what to do next, the passionate shouts from the interviewer came from the court again.
"goooooooooooooooooooooal……The goal is scored!!! Kennedy!! This former Darlington midfielder scored!! 2:0, this is a wonderful shot!! Xie Wednesday's goalkeeper is powerless to do anything about this goal, Xie Wednesday is in trouble, they are already two goals behind their opponents!!"
This goal is like sprinkling salt on Xie Zhousan's wound. What Ouyang Ao and tens of thousands of Xie Zhousan fans could not have imagined was that the third salt came so quickly.
Just less than ten minutes after Kennedy scored the second goal, Rochdal's striker Klis Grady won another goal, 3:0. After that, Ouyang Ao made consecutive substitution adjustments, but at this time any adjustments had no big impact on the situation. The final score of this game was frozen at 3:0.
3:0, this is the score of Ouyang's first game in his career. When Rochdal took away three-pointers with joy, Xie Zhoushen was left with only the fans shouting and scolding.
The ninety-minute game passed quickly. If you watch a football game in front of the TV, you can do a lot of things in ninety-minutes, such as drinking a few beer, playing two poker games during the ads, etc. However, when Ouyang Ao frowned and watched the entire game in the coach's seat, he realized that the ninety-minute minutes actually passed very quickly, as if it had passed in a blink of an eye.
From 0:0 to 3:0, Rochdal did play a good goal today at Hillsborough Stadium. Rochdal's head coach Keith came to shake hands with Ouyang Ao with great grace after the game, and then led his disciples into the locker room. Ouyang seemed a little overwhelmed by the fans' screams and scolds.
"Second get out of class!!!John get out of class ended!!!"
"Get out! You country bumpkin!!"
"Get back to your hometown, Xie Wednesday doesn't need a young boy like you!!"
……………………
Xie Zhou Wednesday's fans always support their beloved team. Even if the team's performance is poor, they will also choose to support and encourage without hesitation. However, the fans are only angry about this young coach under 30. They blame the team's poor record on the head of the coach. In fact, this is the cruelty of professional football. Even if you are a world-class coach like Mourinho or Guardiola, as long as you fail to lead the team to achieve the results in the fans' minds, then sorry, the only thing waiting for you is the end of get out of class, let alone a young boy who is only 27 years old? This is football, this is professional football!
The screams and scoldings filled Ouyang Ao's eardrums, which was not pleasant at all, especially when a group of fans showed anger on their faces and kept insulting you with their middle fingers.
I don’t know if it was the fan who took the first move. A mineral water bottle slammed on Ouyang Ao’s back. The splashes sprinkled from the mouth of the bottle wet his windbreaker. Although it was only a slight slight, a coolness emerged from Ouyang Ao’s backbone. The bottle of mineral water was like a fuse, igniting the anger of the fans. Then, more and more debris were thrown from the stands around him towards Ouyang Ao.
Fans are venting their dissatisfaction in this way.
Ouyang Ao escaped into the locker room with his tail between his legs, like a wretched family dog.
But the locker room was definitely not a safe haven for him. When he escaped back to the locker room in a daze, Xie Zhoushen's team members looked at him with disappointment and disgust.
"My guys... you guys, you have tried your best. It's nothing to lose a game." The players' eyes made Ouyang Ao very uncomfortable. He forced himself to calm down and then tried to calm down the negative emotions caused by the defeat.
Ouyang Ao, who has played FM for many years, knows that the negative impact of failure is far more terrifying than the loss itself, especially the players' emotions.
But today it seems that all the worries came to Ouyang Ao, and the players didn't buy his account at all. The atmosphere in the locker room was so quiet that it was suffocating.
"Bang!" The suffocating atmosphere was broken by sounds. Captain Daley slammed the leg guard board on the floor, and the sound made sound was particularly harsh.
"Yes! We tried our best, but what about you? Damn, you will only say something useless after losing. John, you are not worthy of being Xie Zhou Wednesday's coach. After you took office, the team has achieved the worst start since its establishment. God testified, I don't know what the senior executives of those clubs think, and they will hire such an incompetent guy as the team's coach. But I only know what the players are thinking and what the fans are thinking. They don't need you, you, the incompetent boy!!"
Daly finished this almost in a roaring tone, and no one expected that the captain would suddenly explode at this time. Although his authority was far above the coach, it was just so openly challenging the head coach's authority. This was the first time.
The locker room was so quiet that it was as if a needle fell to the ground that could be heard. Ouyang Ao's face turned pale and blue. Since he possessed John two weeks ago, he vaguely felt that Daley had a prejudice against him. This was verified on the training ground, but he never expected that Daley would get so angry at him, the head coach.
This was Ouyang Ao's first game, and the result was a mistake, but it was based on a lineup that made people cry and cry. In Ouyang Ao's heart, he just took over the mess of Xie Zhousan for the unlucky guy named John. The team's poor record had nothing to do with him before. It was John's coach, not Ouyang Ao. Even if this game was coached in the true sense, Ouyang Ao, the defeat in one game could not prove anything. He had no reason or responsibility to bear all the mistakes!
What thousands of people are referring to! This is a word that suddenly popped up in Ouyang Ao’s mind!
The insults of the fans and the afflictions of the previous life appeared before Ouyang Ao again. Some emotions that had been suppressed in his heart that had been long ago were completely detonated at this time.
I am not a coward, nor an incompetent boy!! I don’t want to be Ouyang Ao who can ride on his head and shit and pee!! I don’t want to have a failed life again!!
Ouyang Ao's eyes burst out with rage and said in an almost cold tone: "Daly, first of all, I think you have to understand that I am your coach, not your servant. If you want to lose your temper, please pay attention to the object. My appointment is the decision of the club chairman Mr. Michael. If you are not convinced or dissatisfied, you can go and cause trouble for him. My stay or not is not your final decision. As long as I am still on Wednesday, I have the final decision! From today on, you are no longer the captain of the team. When can you clearly recognize your mistakes before you can restore your position."
After a pause, Ouyang Ao glanced at the locker room coldly and said, "Who among you has any objections to me? Now say it, as you wish, I will list all of you during the winter transfer period, stay those who have no objections, and those who are dissatisfied will get out of here!"
The reason why rabbits are gentle is not because they eat grass, but because there is no threat from other animals. As the saying goes, rabbits will bite people if they are anxious. Now, Ouyang Ao is a rabbit that is annoyed.
"Previous life" was bullied and excluded everywhere due to various factors in his personality. He longed to change such a life deep in his heart. God gave him a chance to start a new life. But now he found that it was not as he imagined that the fans' insults and Daly's provocation made him feel that he had become that cowardly otaku again. He didn't want to do this. The power of change and the long-suppressed emotions finally made him burst.
The strong aura made everyone present dare not show off, including Captain Daly!
