Chapter 15 Nirvana
Chapter 15: Killing Skill ()
Benfica's players took a day off after the Lisbon derby battle and started their daily training the next day. After Celsillon announced that Chen Chao would take office, all of them did not say anything, but just exchanged their eyes secretly, and did not even dare to let out the atmosphere.
What a joke?
This devil Chen, the God of War Chen, was already strong enough before, but now he has become the team's actual leader. He will lead the team to play before Fatty Ka comes back. So how can we be lazy?
Don't you be exhausted to death?
Life is miserable!
God, have you been dozing off again? Why can’t you open your eyes and take a look?
Chen Chao's inauguration speech was so simple that everyone expected. He stood in front of the players casually: "Since I am leading the team now, I will talk about my rules. My rules are very simple, only two, the first one... obey! The second one, or obey! Do you understand?"
"I understand! Boss!"
"Boss! I understand!"
Benfica's first team has twenty-six players, and the number is really quite large. However, although their answers are a bit messy, the content is surprisingly consistent. They used to be like mice and cats when they saw Chen Chao, and now no one dares to disobey the devil Chen who has risen again.
"Well, just understand!" Chen Chao nodded with satisfaction, and even showed a smile: "Let's start training now, everything will be the same!"
Chen Chao said it was as usual, but Celsillon, Lopez, and Carlos Gomez found that Benfica's players became more hardworking during training. Obviously, Chen Chao's pressure on these players has increased again, but this is a big good thing!
Just one day later, the first complete game commanded by Chen Chao arrived as scheduled. They welcomed their first opponent in the UEFA Champions League group stage at their home court, the Belgrade Guerrillas.
Among the four teams in Group F where Benfica is located, Manchester United must occupy a qualifying place. If Benfica wants to obtain the right to qualify, it must fight against the slightly weaker Lyon team, and cannot lose points on the Belgrade guerrillas. This point was also clearly mentioned in the media's pre-match analysis. Everyone determined that the weakest one was the Belgrade guerrillas. Benfica, who played at home, would definitely win in this game. Even if Benfica's head coach Camacho is not there, Celsilon, as an assistant coach, is definitely capable of leading the team to victory.
However, at the Guangming Stadium, in the first complete game directed by Chen Chao, an accident happened!
Because Benfica's style of game has become very tough this season, they are very active when intercepting their opponents. When the game was 26 minutes, Benfica's No. 14 left forward Huge made a move to brighten the soles in a tackle. Although he did touch the ball first before tackle the opponent's player, the referee still showed a yellow card indiscriminately. Huge, who was dissatisfied, protested fiercely against the referee's penalty, and he got the second yellow card from Spain's referee Ali Yuruyor, who was sent off directly.
Benfica, who lacked an offensive player, still took the initiative on the court. After all, the strength of the Belgrade guerrillas is much worse than that of them. However, Benfica, which won ten shots in the whole game, failed to knock on the opponent's door. The opponent who was guarding the game was only a long shot with one kick in the 90 minutes, but they took a point from the Light Stadium with an iron barrel formation.
At the post-match press conference, Celsillon said in his summary: "I am very satisfied with the team's performance. Although we should have won a victory, our players faced ten people most of the time in the game. They have performed well enough!"
Not only in the game, Celsilon will convey instructions to Chen Chao, but even his current remarks are the result of discussion with Chen Chao. Chen Chao is still very satisfied with the performance of Benfica players in this game. He can still keep playing against the opponent on ten or eleven. Even if he fails to win, he doesn't lose. The players are already hard enough.
When Selsilon summarized the game at the press conference, Chen Chao also gave the players a relaxing pill in the locker room. With Chen Chao's rich experience in leading troops, he naturally knew that blindly suppressing was absolutely undesirable. He could only hold a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, and follow the rules that had been set in advance to make the rewards and punishments clearly distinguish, so that his subordinates could completely obey.
"Hey! Boys, are you feeling very unhappy if you failed to win the game?"
Chen Chao glanced at Huge, who was worried, and swept over the dejected player one by one, and then laughed: "Damn it! That dog referee obviously made an unfair judgment! Huge, although your tackle is not standard enough, it is too much to give you a yellow card, let alone if you fight, you will give you another yellow card! Don't worry, I will let the team appeal this penalty!"
kindness?
The players looked at Chen Chao in surprise. They originally thought that they could not win this game and failed to win the first game under the coach. Maybe everyone would be severely punished. But when they heard the tone of the devil Chen's speech, it seemed that he did not intend to punish everyone!
"Boss, we... don't need to be punished?" Captain Petit asked tentatively.
"Punishment? What a blunder! Did you make a mistake? No! We failed to win this game because the referee treated Huge unfairly! I know whether you guys are trying hard!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Wow, haha! The boss is wise!"
"Of course, the boss is wise! You don't even look at how wise and powerful our boss is!"
The players were filled with joy. Chen Chao could feel that the distance between him and these players was much closer, but these players were still very awe of him.
"Okay OK! Stop! Stop!" Chen Chao interrupted the player who was still cheering and said seriously: "There is a reason why I failed to win this game, so I will not punish anyone, and I will also appeal to UEFA for Huge! However, we cannot only see the reason for the referee. We have an absolute advantage in the game but failed to win this game. Obviously, we still lack some ultimate skills! Next, we will develop some tricks. We must win the game against Leria in four days! Are you confident?"
"have!"
“Have confidence!”
"Leria is nothing, we will win them!"
"The guerrillas are also shit. If it weren't for the UEFA referee, we would definitely win! But in Portugal, no referee dared to favor our opponents, right?"
"Hahaha, of course not! We are Benfica!"
When he said this, Benfica's players were full of pride. With Benfica's current status, as well as his accumulated influence and background, they will not be treated unfairly in Portugal. Unless any referee does not want to do this anymore, they will not be able to get along with Benfica.
"Okay, okay!" Chen Chao waved his hand to stop the players from continuing there: "Everyone is packed, it's time to leave! Get off tomorrow morning and start training in the afternoon! Remember whether!"
"Boss, we remember!"
Chen Chao nodded, turned around and walked out of the locker room with Lopez. Carlos Gomez had already begun to think about what kind of tricks should be drawn to ensure that the team could turn their advantages into winning positions in future games. However, his football knowledge was still too poor, and he had no idea in his mind. In the end, he could only put this aside and leave it to discuss with Celsillon tomorrow.
The next morning, Chen Chao took a taxi to the training base early. Since he arrived in Benfica, he has never had his own office and has always shared the same room with Fatty Ka. Now the head coach's office has become his own use.
Celsillon, Lopez and Carlos Gomez arrived soon after each game, and gathered the coaches to summarize. Chen Chao learned this habit from Camacho.
There is nothing to summarize when it comes to the match against the Belgrade guerrillas. It is not a fault for Benfica himself at all. It can only be said that it was due to bad luck.
"Pepe, I think it's necessary for us to come up with some tricks with a higher success rate!"
Four people sat around the sofa, Chen Chao said his thoughts calmly. Celsilon and the other three looked at Chen Chao and suddenly found that the young man sitting in the main seat seemed to be more majestic than the master who sat here in the past. His calm demeanor and unquestionable tone did not look like a man who had just taken power, but instead he looked like a king who had always been high above him.
"Chan, actually... Well, when Jose was there, he arranged some set-piece tactics for the team, but like yesterday, once he faced the opponent's iron barrel formation, we had no good solutions like other teams."
The answer to Chen Chao was Carlos Gomez, who was in charge of the team's technical training. Celsillon also smiled bitterly and said, "Chen, you know this person. Compared to these little tricks, he values the attitude of the players, the morale and fighting spirit of the team."
"kindness!"
Chen Chao nodded and pondered for a moment. Although he didn't want to break the rules and regulations left by Camacho, he still felt that if the team mastered the skills of killing one blow, it would be a good thing no matter how you look at it.
"Everyone, Ka Fatty's coaching style is worthy of recognition. Benfica has not lost any game so far this season, and we have not even lost in the situation yesterday. This is all the credit of Ka Fatty! But I think we cannot just eat Ka Fatty's old money left by Ka Fatty without being enterprising! Therefore, it is necessary for us to make some useful transformations based on the team's existing foundation!"
When he said this, Chen Chao seemed to be back to the decisive killing when he held military power. Celsillon, Lopez, and Carlos Gomez almost subconsciously nodded and agreed.
After receiving the support of Celsillon, Lopez and Carlos Gomez, Chen Chao pulled out a few pieces of paper from a stack of documents in front of him and handed them to the three of them: "Look at it, these are some things I thought of last night. I wonder if it can be used."
Chen Chao watched the three of them take their tactical drawings, but after just a few glances, the three of them had a surprise on their faces. He immediately realized that his hard work had not been wasted all night.
"Oh-God, Chen, this tactical change... God, you're such a fucking genius!"
"Chan! OK!"
Chapter completed!
