Chapter 196: powder keg

Remember [New] for a second,! Pirates Park is full of seats and very lively.
In the final stage of the season, the competition for various championships has also reached a white-hot stage.
The fans were enthusiastic and every home game was lively.
Even if the game has not yet started, just warming up before the game can make the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands excited.
Even in the locker room inside the stadium, the voices of those fans can be clearly heard.
It wasn't until assistant coach Valentin closed the door that the voices outside became much quieter.
Head coach Parrotti looked at the players who were making final preparations for the game and said, "Now announce the starting list."
Many people's hands lightly.
Valentine stared at Maxi Carey, a little nervous-he was afraid that when Parrotti pronounced the Dutchman's name, Carey would say "You should be smart, I'm not ready to start"...
This is definitely not something that Valentine is worrying about. He feels that with Carey's character and temper, it is entirely possible to do such a thing.
"Hywell, Irasusta, Moreno, Amantegui, Brynjorson..."
Parrotti did not have as many ideas as the assistant coach. He calmly reported the starting list in his heart one by one. .
"...Bella, Daya, Cerovich, Silvario, Hu, Carey."
After saying the last name, Parrotti looked at Maxi Carey.
Not only him, but assistant coach Valentin and everyone else in the locker room also set their sights on the Dutchman.
As everyone watched, Carey's face was as usual, and he was not overjoyed because he finally made his debut.
Judging from his expression, it seems that this sudden start has long been expected by him.
※※※
"Dad is the first! Dad is the first!"
In the box, the two children shouted excitedly, pointing to the photo of Carey that appeared on the big screen at the scene.
Behind them, the surprised look on Sophia's face has not subsided.
Before the game, when the live DJ was broadcasting the starting list, she did not expect her husband to appear there.
She felt that it was a very good result that her husband could come off the bench today.
Just don't let her and the children run away in vain.
"...Somewhat unexpectedly, Parrotti put Maxi Carey in the starting roster before this game...This is Carey's first start since his injury!"
On the TV in the VIP box, the narrator Sanchez's surprised voice came.
"We don't know what he can bring to the game. After all, he hasn't had any outstanding performances since his injury: no goals, no assists. He still seems to be struggling with the rustiness of being away from the pitch for a long time... "
※※※
Real Catheron head coach Jean Osvaldo was also surprised when he saw Kyrie start.
Because Kyrie has failed to play in two consecutive games, he didn't expect to start the game against himself.
He doesn't know if this means that he has better luck and can win today's game smoothly...
Why did Kyrie either come off the bench before, or he didn't even have a minute to play for two consecutive games? Very simple, the game between Saria and the Madrid Pirates has already told everyone the answer.
Because although Carey has recovered physically, there is a big psychological problem.
On the one hand, being far away from the court made him unable to find the rhythm of the game, and on the other hand, he is now afraid of physical confrontation.
Saria ended up taking a point away on the road with their restraint on Kyrie.
Royal Kathong is stronger than Sarria, so why can't we go further and take three points directly?
You know, for Saria, Kyrie is only coming off the bench.
In this game, Carey was the starter.
As long as Carey's performance can be contained, plus the Madrid Pirates are in the rotation and Real Cathoun is the main force, it is not impossible to win away games.
It's easy to deal with Kyrie, just let the players kick a little harder.
Real Cateron really need those three points too - fifth place is not secure as Sebastia is just one point behind them and the Sevilla Navigators are just two points behind .
Both teams could have overtaken them at the last minute of the league and, in their place, knocked Real Cateron out of the European qualification zone.
When the two sides clashed in the first half of the league, Real Cathoun shook hands with the Madrid Pirates 1:1 at home. At that time, the Madrid Pirates also adopted a rotation in the game because of the influence of the Champions League.
How similar is it to today's situation?
Since we were able to draw at home to the Pirates of Madrid, why can't we go further now?
Thinking of this, before the game started, Osvaldo issued the first instruction to the players on the court:
Against that Dutchman!
※※※
Maxi Carey was targeted, and as long as he had the ball, a Royal Cathoun player quickly appeared around him.
No, he hasn't even got the ball yet, and the Royal Kathorn players around him have already posted it.
They rammed him so hard that he couldn't get the ball properly.
They don't care if they get fouled for doing so, anyway, as long as Kyrie can't handle the ball properly, Royal Catheron's defensive goal will be achieved.
There is always a price to pay for successfully defending Kyrie.
Of course, Kathong's players do pay more attention to their actions and try not to take cards.
In fact, this is already good. In the past when Kyrie was at his peak, as his opponent, even if you tried to stop him with a foul, you couldn't do it, because the "Flying Dutchman" didn't give you a chance to foul...
※※※
Carey took the ball with his back to the attacking direction, then tried to turn around, and he almost made it, only to be held on to the jersey from the side by Cathoun's players.
In the end his turn could not be completed.
Football is also lost.
The referee's whistle sounded, blowing Cathoun for a foul.
But despite this, Tobera Cassaces, the Catheron player who defended Kyrie, still held on to Kyrie's jersey, as if the game was still going on.
It wasn't until Carey waved his arms angrily and slapped Cassaces's hand off, he raised his arms and stepped back, signaling that he didn't do anything during the physical confrontation.
Osvaldo, the head coach of Royal Cateron on the sidelines, laughed when he saw this:
Well done, Tobera! That's it, keep provoking him, provoking him, and then successfully detonating this powder keg!
As long as Carey loses his composure, it is equivalent to abolishing them alone.
The game was only ten minutes into the game, and Osvaldo didn't believe Parrotti would replace Kyrie in the tenth minute of the game.
If he does...then just wait for Kyrie to go back to the locker room to go crazy, it's enough to make the Pirates' internal chaos, and they don't even think about playing in the second half!
Maxi Carey was not a mild-mannered man, and two serious injuries in two years made him sensitive and irritable—it's no secret, everyone knows it.
Those moves against Kyrie on the court were not just to break his ball, but also to stir up the fire in his heart.
Once it's burning, it's beyond anyone's control.
Whether it is Carey or the pirates of Madrid, they will be burned to ashes by this angry flame!

"Cathorn wanted to off Kyrie and make him lose his cool."
Valentin on the sidelines reminded Parrotti.
Parrotti nodded: "Of course, any manager who is not stupid would do this."
"Then what to do? What if Carey couldn't control his temper..."
"We have no way. It's impossible to replace him now. Then, before the opponent's provocation succeeds, Carey will explode." Parrotti shook his head and said.
For Kyrie, who is proud of his character, to be substituted without even finishing the first half is simply a great insult. So unless he gets a red card, it's absolutely impossible for Parrotti to risk setting a dynamite keg to replace him.
Valentine sighed.
The former Kyrie was actually a headache guy, but he always used his outstanding performance on the court to make everyone temporarily ignore, or tolerate the troublesome side of his character.
Now that he has lost his ability to be infinitely popular on the court, the flaws in his character have been magnified infinitely, which is somewhat annoying.
It's like a player who is surrounded by all kinds of gossip tabloids and paparazzi if there is constant news off the court, as long as he can keep scoring goals, leading the team to victory and winning the championship. All of the above are just part of a "legend".
But if the player doesn't perform as well, then all the "legends" immediately become the culprit for his poor performance. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
When doing well:
I smoke, drink, get tattoos and get hot girls, but I know I'm a successful professional player.
When performing poorly:
What? you drink? No wonder you're in bad shape!
What? do you smoke? No wonder you're in bad shape!
What? Are you burning your head? Divide your hair care a little bit into football, and you won't be so incompetent!
What? Do you still have before the game? So indulgent and unprofessional!
Valentin is now extremely fortunate that the club spent more than 100 million euros to bring Hu Lai last summer, otherwise the team's performance will be tossed even worse than last season, and it might not even qualify for the Champions League.
Valentin thought in his heart that fortunately there is only one year left on the contract between the club and Kyrie, and when the contract expires next year, he can get rid of this burden...
But in order to plan ahead, he will advise Parrotti to start looking for an excellent playmaking midfielder from now on to replace Kyrie and complete the team's real key puzzle.
