The strongest blade in football

Chapter 186 Controlling Destiny (5000 words)
To some extent, before this, Wang Nuo was not from Leonardo, nor from Combuare. He was the person who was coming to the prince of Qatar.

Regardless of Leonardo or Combuare, the impression of Wang Nuo only stays in some clips in the video collection.

But video highlights?Come on, that proves nothing at all.

Therefore, when it was revealed that Wang Nuo was loaned to Paris Saint-Germain a few days ago, Combuare’s first reaction was——

What?Really want to buy him?The pathetic self-promoter who came door-to-door a year ago?a Chinese?

He seems to have done a good job in Manchester City, but when will such a young Ligue [-] not emerge three or five?

When he told Nasser about this idea, Nasser just smiled and said, do you think I want to rent him?No, no, he is the one Prince Sheikh wants.

Combuare immediately shut his mouth. He cherishes his job very much, although his monthly salary is only 11 euros.

And Leonardo's initial reaction was very close to that of Combuare. As early as the first half of last year when he coached AC Milan, he didn't quite understand why Braida took Mauro to Liege.

Milan doesn't need a kid from the Belgian league.

When he first arrived in Paris, when Leonardo learned that he could no longer sign strikers this season, he almost inserted his pen into the table.

He called Mino Raiola, wanting to scold that dead fat pig first, and then remove the damned additional clause.

As a result, Raiola assured with great confidence that Paris' striker is enough now.

"Let's put it this way, you can regard Wang Nuo as Pato when you coached AC Milan! Wang Nuo is also a golden boy player!"

"Stop joking!" Leonardo didn't believe this at the time.

"I'm not joking at all. Paris is participating in the Europa League this season. Wang Nuo is best at playing in the Europa League! You will love him to death!"

"As for changing the terms, eat shit! Don't even think about it!" Mino hung up the phone directly.

Leonardo ends up getting nothing but promises and insults from a fat man.

Likewise, he ran to Nasser, who repeated what he had said to Comboare like a repeater.

Leonardo had to close his mouth with a smile, and then wait and see.

Therefore, when some media interviewed Leonardo and asked him to talk about his views on Wang Nuo, Leonardo tried his best to recombine the stories he heard from other places, trying to get away with vague words.

But those nasty reporters don't want to hear nonsense, so they ask more and more specific questions.

For example, Wang Nuo's talent, Wang Nuo's skills, what Wang Nuo will bring to Paris.

And even his hobbies, the more detailed the better, there are Wang Nuo's anecdotes and the potential for future development.

Leonardo hasn't studied Wang Nuo yet, he doesn't know much more than those Paris fans, but he still spoke at that time:

"He's a very, very... special young man, we've been following him for a long time, he's exactly what the club needs, a player with talent and professionalism."

Look, this sentence applies to 90% of the players, right?

Leonardo said a bunch of stuff like that and it made him feel stupid.

"He's a good striker, he can play forward or wide, very dangerous, maybe you think he hasn't proven himself in Ligue [-], but he has a good character, all in all he reminds me of... "

Who do you remember?

Oh, think about it, come on!
Leonardo's brain was running fast. The players he had led and the teammates who played football appeared and disappeared one by one in his mind. The microphones in front of him seemed to mock him mercilessly.

He can even smell his own saliva.

At this moment, Leonardo had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "He reminds me of myself."

Leonardo was quite famous when he was a player. He felt that he was praising Wang Nuo by saying this.

He thought he could see the sun through the clouds and mist, but he looked around everyone's eyes, and finally found that no one seemed to believe his words at all. Of course, this kind of thing often happens at certain times——

At the press conference, someone spits out lotus flowers, intends to lie, and everyone, including those who work with him, nod knowingly.

Fortunately, today, Leonardo didn't go to say hello to the boys of the youth team, nor wasted time on the remote call with Pastore, but came to the training site of the first team honestly.

When he discovered that in the 20-minute five-a-side match, Wang Nuo scored five goals in one breath and assisted Gameiro and Nene to score each, he immediately made a vow in his heart.

Next time, when Raiola comes to Paris, he's going to hug that damn fat guy and give him a big kiss.

"Think about your striker combination for the new season and make good use of everyone the team bought in the summer." Leonardo said to Combuare, who was immersed in happiness.

A blush seemed to creep over Comboare's dark face.

He was like an upstart who got rich suddenly, and finally saw the "wealth" he had in his bank card. Today's training match made him dizzy with joy.

In addition to Wang Nuo, newcomers such as Gameiro, Matuidi, Siligu, and Sissoko have also shown amazing strength.

Money is really a good thing!
Next season, the three lines in Paris are bound to undergo major adjustments on the basis of last season!

Brighton, a beautiful seaside city in the south of England.

It is located in the south of the "Greater London" area, only one hour away from the city of London.

Paris Saint-Germain will play the Emirates Cup in a few days, and they will stay here for two days to play a warm-up match with Brighton before heading to London.

Brighton was promoted to the British Championship last season as the number one in the League One. The team lineup has just been updated and is in urgent need of polishing.

Moreover, Brighton are very happy that Paris Saint-Germain can play against them in the warm-up match.

As we all know, so far this summer, Paris Saint-Germain is the club with the highest expenditure in the transfer market, and its massive signings have attracted a lot of attention.

So this warm-up match at Farmer Stadium also attracted nearly [-] spectators to watch the game live, and sold a lot of tickets!
For Wang Nuo, this warm-up match is a rare contest with real swords and guns, which is conducive to improving the tacit understanding between him and his teammates, and to experience the technical and tactical play of the entire team.

In this game, in order to allow as many players as possible to play and exercise, the two sides did not limit the number of substitutions.

Before the start of the game, Combuare told the players that more than half of the starting players will be replaced after the first half, so that everyone can seize the opportunity, use the limited time as much as possible to perform well, and focus more.

In the first half of the game, Combuare formed a 442 formation, and Wang Nuo partnered with Gameiro as the striker combination.

Behind them are Matuidi, Nene, Sissoko, Bodmer.

Thiene, Armand, Bishevich, and Searard are on the back line, and the goalkeeper is the new aid Siligou.

All six new aids are on the stage. On the one hand, they are indeed relatively strong. On the other hand, Combuare wants them to get acquainted with each other as soon as possible and establish some initial tacit understanding.

Paris' opponent Brighton has a 4312 diamond midfield formation, which is very common in Premier League games.

This formation has a weak point, that is, the defense on both sides is limited by the width of the formation, which is difficult to take into account.

Therefore, in most cases, the three central midfielders are required to make up for it through a wide range of lateral movements, which is also a game point that both teams often pay attention to.

Take this game as an example, if Matuidi or Sissoko have a good ability to play the ball and can pass the ball quickly and long to Wang Nuo or Gameiro on the side, they can pose a threat or consume the opponent. Midfield stamina.

On the other hand, if Brighton's front midfielder is strong enough to put a certain amount of pressure on the opponent's midfielder when Paris' midfielder transfers a long pass, or simply block the ball to one side, then his own midfielder will have three players. Players and even the entire defense line do not need to move in a large range to conduct passive defense.

Wang Nuo likes the opponent's concentration of troops in the middle, so that he can gallop freely on the side!

After the game started, Wang Nuo smelled the familiar smell of British football again, and the cheers from the fans on the sidelines made him feel that he had never left England this season.

A few minutes later, the Brazilian Nene got the ball from the right.

He has a great ability to read the game and is quick.

There was a gap in Brighton's defensive formation, which Wang Nuo didn't think much about, and he went straight into the penalty area - and that was enough.

The ball flew diagonally from behind, and Wang Nuo successfully got rid of the defense. Before the ball hit the ground, he already had a feeling that everything was under control.

Last season, he has been dealing with the defense of the Premier League defenders. At this moment, facing Brighton, who has just been promoted from League One, he can clearly feel that the No. 14 Calderon in front of him is too slow.

Do you think I'm going to stop the ball and shoot?Wang Nuo thought to himself.

Without waiting for the football to hit the ground, he quickly turned his body sideways and raised his left leg like an open bow.

"Oh!"

This kick was solid, and the football rushed straight towards the goal from the upper left corner of the penalty area!

Brighton's entire defense and goalkeeper couldn't imagine that Wang Nuo could catch a high ball from the side and hit the goal directly, and no one reacted at all.

The football drilled into the upper corner of the goal like a cannonball, and even made the net make a muffled sound of "dole", 1 to 0!

On the third day after Wang Nuo joined the team, he scored his first goal. Although it was in the warm-up match, it can be seen that he is in good condition.

Nene, who passed the ball to Wang Nuo, was also taken aback. He had learned how powerful Wang Nuo was in yesterday's training, but this goal still refreshed his understanding of Wang Nuo.

This kind of shooting requires very high physical adjustment ability. The average player may not be able to score such a wonderful goal with ten kicks!
too strong!
Gameiro and Matuidi, who were not far from Wang Nuo, came over to congratulate them. Wang Nuo didn't seem very excited. He hugged them and gave Nene a thumbs up.

At this moment, the loud sound of that blow still echoed in Wang Nuo's body. He felt great, and nothing could stop him!
Brighton coach Gustavo Poyet watched the Chinese striker with interest. He watched the FA Cup final at Wembley last year, and he was deeply impressed by that game. impression.

He doesn't understand what Manchester City thinks at all, and will loan out this top star who has been able to destroy the city in the Premier League.

The shot just now reminded Gustavo Poyet of the 2002 UEFA Champions League final. The Frenchman was in almost the same position and blasted a goal of the century with his left foot.

Of course, in his view, Neon, the Brazilian who passed the ball to Wang Nuo just now, also played a key role. No. 3 Greer didn't push up in time, which allowed Neon to aim calmly and make an accurate pass.

So he shouted loudly on the sidelines, reminding the full-backs on both sides to concentrate and not to make similar mistakes again.

It is not terrible to fall behind in the warm-up match, but it is terrible to find the problem.

The game continues.

Wang Nuo will not be able to participate in the next Emirates Cup. Before the league starts, he must make good use of this time to familiarize himself with the technical characteristics of everyone in the team as much as possible to prepare for the future Ligue [-].

So Wang Nuo took the initiative to assume the role of the fulcrum of the striker, and cooperated with Gameiro wandering behind him as much as possible, as well as Nene and Bodmer on both sides.

Wang Nuo has a strong body and excellent jumping, and he has a lot of advantages when facing the same young defender Elphick.

As long as the ball reaches Wang Nuo's feet, basically there will be no major problems. Once Gameiro starts and runs, Wang Nuo will try his best to respond to him.

Gameiro is short in stature, but has good explosive power, starts very quickly, and has the ability to get rid of defenses in a small range.

His pace is faster than Wang Nuo, let alone the typical defender of the British Championship on the opposite side.

Wang Nuo passed the ball to him several times, and Gameiro always found a way to catch it, and then efficiently made appropriate moves to get rid of it and quickly formed a shot.

Wang Nuo observed for a while, and found that Gameiro could shoot the bow with both left and right feet, and the quality was very high.

It's a pity that because of the pursuit of too tricky angles, every time there is a slight difference, there is no goal.

Throughout the first half, Paris had an absolute advantage, and Brighton seldom formed an effective offense.

This is not only due to the sharp offensive and continuous pressure of Paris Saint-Germain in the frontcourt, but also a large part of the reason is that the two new aids Matuidi and Sissoko are the black wind and double evil.

Wang Nuo had to sigh that his co-tenant partner, Matuidi, was too good at running away.

Matuidi can defend at all costs, covering a fairly large area. He is strong and resolute in his occasional back penetration, and the follow-up shot just now is very threatening.

Sissoko is also in very good physical condition. Wang Nuo feels that his stealing ability is superior to Matuidi's. He played a role similar to a sweeper throughout the first half.

These two seem to have built a small fortress directly in front of the Paris back line, making Brighton's already sparse attack look even more pitiful.

Siligu was nearing the end of the first half, and he didn't have many chances to touch the ball.

Bishevac didn't face many tests today, he played without haste and has a good mentality.

Because Combuare was his coach in Valenciennes before coming to Paris to coach, and he knew him well enough.

Combuare, who has been standing on the sidelines to watch the game, is very satisfied with the performance of the six new players who started today. The content of the game they showed made the coach known for his strictness unable to find any faults.

The only fly in the ointment is that the striker is not very lucky. Gameiro's several threatening shots failed to form a goal.

Just when he thought the score was 1-0 in the first half, Wang Nuo surprised him again!

On the court, Wang Nuo took the ball at the corner of the penalty area and began to get rid of it laterally. Without stopping, like a madman, he took the ball all the way to the top of the arc on the other side of the penalty area.

No one can stop him, and no one dares to stretch his legs rashly to grab him.

Finally, Wang Nuo opened a narrow space.

Just when everyone thought he was going to force a kick, Wang Nuo tipped his toe, and the football flew obliquely towards Gameiro who suddenly rushed out of the back.

Gameiro's start was just right, neither offside, but also won an excellent kicking opportunity.

Unfortunately, I didn't expect Brighton's goalkeeper to react very quickly this time, and chose to attack while Wang Nuo passed the ball.

Faced with the alert goalkeeper, Gameiro didn't choose to force it, but knocked the ball to the other side of his body lightly, and then did it back to Wang Nuo who also rushed in!
Under the interference of the defender stretching his legs, Wang Nuo came and stabbed and shot!

The goalkeeper was still in front of Gameiro at this time, he could only watch helplessly as the football hit his goal again!

2 is better than 0!

Wang Nuo scored another goal!
If the first goal showed Wang Nuo's confidence in shooting and his fiery state, then this goal is more the result of selfless cooperation.

Behind this goal, there are not only Wang Nuo's personal skillful dribbling and clever passing at critical moments, but also Gameiro's selfless response to the goalkeeper's attack without greed.

After scoring the goal, the two happily clapped hands to celebrate, and teammates also rushed over to congratulate.

The Paris Saint-Germain players on the field can feel that Brighton's strength is not bad at all.

Even though they have just rushed to the British Championship, the team's overall style of play is very mature and tough, not necessarily weaker than the Ligue [-] teams.

The reason why they were able to take a 2-0 lead in the first half was not that Brighton was weak, but that with the arrival of new aid, Paris has properly become a Ligue [-] powerhouse!

Scoring the second goal made Wang Nuo feel better.

Wang Nuo glanced towards the sidelines, and Combuare applauded him without hesitation and nodded.

Wang Nuo felt completely relaxed.

From the current point of view, the head coach is very straightforward and easy to deal with.

In Manchester City last season, Wang Nuo felt that he had been playing very aggrieved, with a feeling that he could not use his strength.

The front line competition is too fierce, he always wants to prove himself, the whole person is in a tense state for a long time, and the internal friction is very serious.

But now, this feeling has disappeared without a trace.

This is a good thing, he knows that here, he is the undoubted main force and has many more opportunities than in Manchester City!
As for what he needs to do, it is to cherish those opportunities and turn them into one goal after another, one victory after another!

From today on, Wang Nuo will take his fate into his own hands!
