Chapter 132: Greetings from Morikawa

While Osvaldo was still doubting the scene he was seeing, a thunderous thunder sounded over the court:
"HUUUUU!!!"
Hu Lai has finished his celebration.
The thunder awakened Osvaldo, and he recovered his spirits. Turning around, the assistant coach, who was still holding his head and feeling painful and regretful for losing the ball, went to the bench to shake people.
"Let Yonezawa Masao get ready to play!"
As a head coach, he reacted very quickly and decisively. Without hesitation, I knew what I should do right away.
As the team's midfield organizer, Yonezawa Masao is the main force of Royal Cateron. But before this game, he didn't choose to start Yonezawa Masao because he wanted to defend himself in the away game.
Then Masao Yonezawa, who is not good at defensively, can only be removed from the starting lineup.
However, Masao Yonezawa was not left at home completely, but went with the team.
Deep down in Osvaldo's heart, he is still looking forward to a victory away from home.
Besides, with one more offensive player, one more preparation. In this way, when something unexpected happens during the game, it can be considered as prepared.
Facts have proved that Osvaldo's decision is correct.
Now he needs to replace Yonezawa Masao and regain control of the midfield.
In fact, Osvaldo doesn't need to be so anxious. After all, his team has just lost the ball and the score is only 0:1. There is still a long time in the second half of the game.
Moreover, even a 0:1 score may not be unacceptable.
This is an away game after all, facing a team that is good at offensive like Leeds City. Losing only one goal is a very good result.
But Osvaldo's substitution was not for offense.
Or it's not just for offense.
He is for defense.
After Leeds scored, the morale was boosted, and the offensive will definitely be strengthened next-Osvaldo would not think that Leeds will slow down and regain defense after taking the lead.
Under such circumstances, if Royal Cateron continues to defend, it is very likely that they will not be able to defend.
After all, after losing the ball, the mentality and morale of the players have been hit.
At this time, if you continue to defend according to the previous tactical requirements without making any adjustments, if you are rushed by Leeds City’s attack, the Royal Carterhorn’s defense line will be in chaos-because Leeds City has been used to and in the previous game. Adapted to the defensive tactics of Royal Carterhorn.
So it has to be replaced, and it has to be replaced by Yonezawa Masao, who is usually the main midfielder at Royal Carterhorn. He has the skills. Through his skills to help the team to control the ball, so that the players gradually recovered from the panic after losing the ball.
So Osvaldo quickly made such a substitution adjustment.
At the same time, after stabilizing the situation, Yonezawa Masao is on the court, which can also give Royal Carter the capital to counterattack.
At that time, seize the gap left by Leeds City's offensive and send a through kick; or after Leeds City's offensive is exhausted, Yonezawa Masao organizes the offensive and opposes the offensive. Even if they can't score, at least they can make Leeds' offense no longer so unscrupulous, thus reducing the pressure on the Royal Carterhorn's defense line.
It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Hu Lai has finished celebrating with his teammates and is running back to his own half.
At this time, Masao Yonezawa was already on the sidelines, listening to their coach Alvardo's instructions.
Seeing this scene, Hu Lai winked at Morikawa Junpei next to him: "Morikawa, the opportunity is here!"
Morikawa Junpei glanced at the sideline and shook his head: "The boss didn't arrange a specific task for me."
The implication is that Clark does not make adjustments, then he will still follow the requirements Clark gave him before the game, and will not act arbitrarily because of a Yonezawa Masao.
This is the rigid side of Morikawa Junpei mentioned before.
But at the same time this is also his valuable advantage. As a defensive player, we must be clear that the most important thing in defense is not personal ability, but tactical discipline.
If every defensive player follows his own ideas and ignores the team's tactical discipline, then the team's defense will be no different from nothing.
In other words, Morikawa Junpei is an ordinary iron rod, placed in the hands of ordinary people, picked up and whirled for a round, and can whistle a big windmill. But it's just an iron rod.
However, it fell into the hands of Monkey King and became the "ruyi golden hoop" that made countless demons and ghosts frightened.
The key is to see if it will be used.
If Clark is indifferent or slow to react to Royal Carterhorn's substitution adjustments. So Morikawa Junpei still followed the previous tactical requirements to protect Jay Adams and Pete Williams. As for what Masao Yonezawa will do after he comes on the court, that's not what Junpei Morikawa has to consider.
He will not take one step beyond the thunder pond.
If Masao Yonezawa performs well here, causing Leeds to lose the ball...Even if Junpei Morikawa is responsible, he will admit it, but he might make the same choice next time...
As soon as Morikawa Junpei finished speaking, he heard Pete Williams calling Hu Lai: "Hu, the boss is looking for you."
Hu Lai followed his reputation and saw Clark gesturing to him on the sidelines while shouting: "Let Morikawa freeze him!"
He pointed to Yonezawa Masao who was still on the sidelines.
Simple and clear, you can see it at a glance.
Hu Lai nodded, turned around and said to Morikawa Junpei: "The task is here, the boss asks you to freeze Yonezawa Masao."
Morikawa Junpei raised his eyes to look at his senior in the national team and nodded:
"good."

Royal Cateron did not succeed immediately, because until they kicked off and restarted the game, Yonezawa Masao was still dragged by the coach Osvaldo to talk non-stop.
It seems that Osvaldo has a lot of instructions to Yonezawa Masao, but it's not just patting him on the shoulder, and telling him, "You go up and kick as usual".
When Osvaldo pulled Yonezawa Masao to arrange tactics for him, the offensive of Leeds on the field remained undiminished.
As Osvaldo feared, Leeds, who took the lead, attacked fiercely, while the conceded team's Royal Carterhorn was demoralized and defended very hard.
In the stands, Leeds City fans cheered one after another, one after another.
If you don’t look at the game screen and just listen to the sound, every time the Leeds City fans cheer, they might think that Leeds City has scored again...
It wasn't until five minutes later that the full-back of Real Cathon, Benjamin Maldonado, kicked the football out of the sideline very close to the bottom line under the pressure of Camara, and the game entered the dead-ball stage.
Masao Yonezawa could not run.
In the stand box, seeing Masao Yonezawa on the field, Hiroto Motegi straightened his waist slightly and looked down.
The two Japanese players are about to meet, but he didn't change his position just for this.
Because this is the daily routine of Japanese football, it is not worth his excitement at all.
The reason why he pays a little attention is because he can finally see Masao Yonezawa's performance in this game, so he won't run in vain...half the trip.

After Masao Yonezawa came on the field, he followed the request of the head coach Osvaldo and took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball.
After passing the ball, control it under your feet, and then pass it out.
It's just that he didn't always pass forward, but first used cross pass and back pass.
The purpose of this is to stabilize the rhythm and avoid being stunned and scattered by Leeds's fast rush.
This is obviously Osvaldo's instructions.
Masao Yonezawa did very well.
I don’t know if this is considered to be one of the characteristics of Japanese players, that is, their tactical discipline is relatively good...
Hu Lai thought of the Asian Cup game after seeing Masao Yonezawa's performance.
Masao Yonezawa, as the midfield organizer of the Japanese team, has a very high appearance rate. But his performance in that game was not as good as this game.
It may be because of the different mentality during the game, or the different tactical requirements of the club and the national team.
In short, Masao Yonezawa, wearing a Royal Caterhorn jersey, is obviously better at getting the ball on the court than in the national team.
This is also normal.
Because of many factors such as different tactics, different positions of players, and different strengths of teammates, a player's performance in the club team and the national team is often very different.
If you can play at the core of the club, you might not even have a starter if you go to the national team.
In the national team alone, returning to the club may also be a substitute...
Masao Yonezawa is also of the kind with a relatively small gap. In the Royal Carterhorn and the Japanese national team, he is the main player and the midfield organizer.
With Masao Yonezawa's control after playing, Royal Cateron's performance can be seen to be better with the naked eye.
Under the leadership of Yonezawa Masao, the players tried to play slow vs. fast.
Generally speaking, the players of the La Liga team are very good in their small skills. Therefore, when watching the live broadcast of La Liga matches, I often see those little-known players from small teams and newly promoted players who can play in front of the players of the giants and play around with the wealthy players.
The Premier League teams are slightly lacking in this aspect, especially for small teams that are also ranked low, which is simple and straightforward.
The speed is fast and the confrontation is fierce, but the skills at the foot...do not dare to compliment.
This is the style of football in different countries.
Once the Royal Carterhorn slowed down, the aggressive offensive that Leeds City had just made was obviously less intimidating.
Fast and slow are always a pair of enemies on the football field, like a spear and a shield.
Leeds wants to use his own quickness to deal with Royal Cateron. It was like a sharp spear, piercing directly at the Royal Carterhorn.
If the latter follows the rhythm of Leeds City, sooner or later the opponent will be taken into the ditch. Therefore, Osvaldo replaced the player who can take the ball, Masao Yonezawa, deliberately slowing down the pace and frustrating Leeds' spirit. Turning Royal Carterhorn's defense into a bottomless swamp quagmire, Leeds City’s spear pierced into the quagmire and was unable to extricate itself from it.
It seems to have seen initial results.
Until Yonezawa Masao got the ball in the midfield, he was dropped to the ground by Junhei Morikawa who suddenly advanced...
The whistle sounded ~EbookFREE.me~ Junpei Morikawa fouled.
But Royal Carterhorn's smooth transmission was interrupted by this harsh whistle.
"Morikawa Junpei is not polite to his national teammate Yonezawa Masao! He actually committed a foul directly! And it was a foul that went up more than a dozen meters from the back midfielder to the front midfielder... Obviously, he At this time, he didn't even think about breaking the ball. He was giving Yonezawa Masao... to disarm him!" He Feng said.
Masao Yonezawa didn't expect Morikawa Junpei to run silently for more than ten meters and knock him to the ground. When he fell on the ground, he stared at Morikawa Junpei with wide eyes.
After the latter got up from the ground, he stretched out his hand directly to Yonezawa Masao, and said in Japanese: "I'm very sorry, Yonezawa-senpai. But I am now a Leeds player."
