In the later part of the training, Francisco José Pallada's success rate of dribbling and breaking through decreased significantly.
In the face of a tough defense, the talented player did not have many solutions. He chose to force a breakthrough several times. In the end, out of four breakthroughs, two were intercepted, one was stopped by the opponent's foul, and only one of the breakthroughs was successful.
Li Ang nodded on the sidelines. This was the right style.
However, Palada's performance still surprised him a little. He had to admit that this kid was indeed talented. His sudden stop and change of direction during the successful pass was quite wonderful. It fully displayed the small player's flexible footwork skills and ability to combine the ball with the player.
Li Ang believed that if Pallada could make good use of his footwork and learn to adapt to the scramble and high-intensity confrontation, then the kid's future was still worth looking forward to.
It could also be seen from this that Sporting de Gijón did have a good eye. It was just that they went wrong with the development of this player later. Talented players needed to be polished. You just needed to give him a fair environment and let him grow on his own. If you interfered too much, or even treated him like a greenhouse flower like Sporting de Gijón before, it was obviously wrong. It made sense that the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold.
Li Ang's current idea was very simple. One was to emphasize the scramble in training. On the one hand, it was to cultivate the whole team's awareness of pressing. On the other hand, it was to polish the genius Pallada so that he could adapt to the fast-paced and high-pressing game. If Pallada could do well and handle the ball well in the fast-paced and pressing situation, whether it was passing or breaking through, then Li Ang certainly did not mind continuing to use this kid as the core of the offense. At that time, Sporting de Gijón's offense would be different and people would have a whole new level of respect for them.
Of course, in the process, Li Ang had to properly polish Pallada's character. Obviously, this player was spoiled by Sporting de Gijón. Did he think that he was the most indispensable person in the team? Did he think that the club valued him so much that he could receive special treatment?! That he could even ignore and challenge the authority of the manager?!
Li Ang wanted this talented player to realize that there was no special treatment, only a fair environment! Talent and ability should only be used on the training ground and the arena, and should not be used as capital to squander wantonly.
If Pallada could restrain his temper and complete his tasks well in training and games, Li Ang would not be stingy with the development of this player. He would use the Talent Skill Card that he had obtained from the system on this player. Of course, the premise was that the player's performance satisfied him, gained his approval, and showed due respect to the coach. For example, even if he accepted an apprentice, he had to observe, didn't he?
This afternoon's match was definitely an unforgettable memory for Francisco José Parada.
He had been knocked down three times.
If he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been injured.
Pallada secretly remembered it in his heart. He was full of resentment now. He hated the new manager of the team even more, especially when he thought about how he had been shoved to the ground by Li Ang and was scared to death. He was ashamed and angry.
He thought that his teammates must have seen how scared he was at that time. This was unacceptable for Pallada, who was usually proud and arrogant like a peacock. He felt that he had embarrassed himself, and the culprit was Li Ang.
It was because of this idea that after the day's training, when Li Ang directly informed Pallada to go back to the locker room to change his clothes and not leave first, and then go to the office. When the two of them had a good talk, Pallada directly chose to resist.
After Francisco José Parada changed his clothes in the locker room, he directly left. He did not inform the manager that he was leaving first, nor did he give any explanation. He just left straight away.
On the way home, the talented player of Sporting de Gijón was faintly pleased. He thought about how the manager was foolishly waiting for him in the office, but he had already gone home. He was slightly pleased, as if the anger he had suffered from the manager today had been compensated.
Francisco José Parada, who was spoiled by the former manager of Sporting de Gijón's B team, Osvaldo, as well as the entire team, did not realize what his actions meant.
This was the most blatant provocation to the manager's authority.
Li Ang was in his office, waiting for Pallada while watching the game videos.
He had asked Fernández and Pallas to help him collect and prepare these game videos. They were all Sporting de Gijón's B team's game videos this season.
Although he had taken up the position of the new manager of Sporting de Gijón's B team, Li Ang knew very little about this team, or more specifically, about his players.
If there was any way to quickly understand these players, it would definitely be to watch the game videos.
Li Ang rubbed his eyes. He had already watched three games.
He came to the conclusion that the team was in a state of disunity.
Sporting de Gijón's defense was in a state of disunity. At least from the game videos, he did not see the team having a decent defensive system. The opponents were often able to tear apart Sporting de Gijón's defense with a few passes or two.
In addition, the team's performance was even worse when defending set pieces. In the game against Atlético Madrid's B team, the team lost three goals due to set pieces. One was the opponent's direct free kick to break the goal. Then the opponent used a free kick and a corner kick to score two headers from their own players. When the team defended set pieces, they were completely pulled apart by the opponent's positioning and running position. The defense was a mess and there was no focus at all.
Li Ang knew that the Spanish teams advocated offense. Whether it was the La Liga or the Segunda División teams, there would often be big results in the games. One of the reasons for this was that the teams advocated offense and did not pay much attention to defense. Therefore, there were often massacres.
However, no matter how much offense was advocated, the defense had to be done well. Unfortunately, in Li Ang's eyes, Sporting de Gijón's defense was really unbearable.
Well, if the defense was not good, then the offense should be good, right?!
Li Ang's evaluation of the offense was: it all depended on luck.
Sporting de Gijón's offense was centered around Francisco José Pallada. Therefore, the quality of the offense was directly linked to this player.
Li Ang saw that when the opponent studied Sporting de Gijón's offensive patterns and was very focused on Pallada, Sporting de Gijón's offense was completely paralyzed. The reason why the team did not score in the league games was because of this! The opponent's oppressive defense made it difficult for Francisco José Pallada to play a role on the field.
In Li Ang's view, when Sporting de Gijón scored in the games, it was because the opponent was too stupid and foolishly allowed Pallada to play. Of course, this also showed that this talented player did have a certain level of ability. As long as he could play in a forgiving environment, Pallada did have some semblance of an offensive core. He led Sporting de Gijón to play a good offense and almost all of the team's goals were scored under these circumstances.
Therefore, Li Ang said that Sporting de Gijón's offense depended on luck. It depended on whether the opponent adopted tough defense and aggressive tactics. Our goals depended on whether the opponent was brainless … If this was not a test of luck, then what was?
This also coincided with Li Ang's conjecture after observing the team's training on the sidelines of the training ground.
The team had to make changes and the focus of the changes was on Francisco José Pallada.
Pallada?!
Why is this kid not here yet?
Li Ang yawned and casually looked at the time on his watch …
