Chapter 130 Delayed Core Victor

The "turmoil" of Victor's transfer gradually disappeared without a trace as the winter transfer window opened.And some football reporters who don't give up, even if they go to interview the transfer director of Manchester City, or the head of Juventus' transfer department.The answers I got were,

"There is no such thing at all. How did you get the news that Victor is going to transfer?" Such an answer.

Contrary to the impossibility of transferring, Victor's changing his position on the court is something that will definitely happen.And Del Piero also directly trained Pirlo to Victor, changing Victor's position on the court.Becoming a defensive midfielder told Juventus coach, Antonio Conte.

Conte didn't say much about Victor changing his position on the pitch.He just nodded to show he knew.Then he also said to wish Victor good luck.In this case.After all, although Pirlo is the first season to join Juventus this season, from the performance of Pirlo on the court, it feels that Pirlo can also play for Juventus for many years.

However, Pirlo, who was born in 1979, is already considered a "veteran" this year.And one of the important reasons why he came to Juventus was Pirlo's previous "old club." AC Milan only intends to sign players like Pirlo once a year for players over 30 years old.

Therefore, it can be considered that Pirlo is looking for a "successor" for himself.After all, maybe in another three or four seasons, Pirlo will announce his retirement or is no longer suitable to play in the intensity of a game like Serie A.At that time, Victor had just stepped into the most glorious time of a player.

Therefore, although Antonio Conte didn't say anything, he still hopes that Victor can successfully complete the "transformation." He will turn his position into an organizational midfielder.Besides, what Antonio Conte is most dissatisfied with Victor is that Victor has never listened to his opinion.I have always insisted on my original habits.

For Antonio Conte, who has a strong desire for control, he naturally does not allow such a special player to exist under him.

However, for Victor, he was not so "comfortable" during the training with Pirlo. After all, there are many things that need to be changed, the first is to adapt to the position.After all, Victor had always been in the frontcourt before. After getting the football, his first reaction was to watch the opposing goalkeeper standing in front of the goal.Then look at the running positions of your teammates.

But now, first of all, observe the positions of your teammates.In my mind, I was thinking about how to pass the football to the feet of teammates in better positions.In addition, when he was in the frontcourt, Victor basically "pounced" in defense, and he didn't hesitate to care whether he would be directly passed by the opponent's player.After all, do you have your own teammates behind you?

But now, standing in the position of the midfielder, if he still faces the opponent's offensive player and pounces directly on it as before.Then if the opponent's player passes by, then the opponent's offensive player will directly face the weak area of ​​his team's defense.

After all, behind Victor is his team's central defender.Although it is not "the last line of defense." However, it is no different.

However, it may be that Victor is indeed talented, in fact, from Victor's first "teacher," the Danish player at Fulham, Klaus Janssen.He is actually a player who can play any position on the central midfield axis on the court.

Back midfielder, central midfielder, front midfielder.

Therefore, in the "system", he taught Victor some things, such as observing the situation on the court and watching the running positions of his teammates.In fact, this is virtually providing a series of conveniences for Victor's current position on the court, from a number nine and a half player to a defensive midfielder.

Not to mention that it is not only Victor who receives Pirlo's training during the daytime "daily training" with Pirlo.And every night, now Victor rests in a bedroom by himself.So, I think it was the same as when I was in the Fulham or Arsenal youth training camp.Enter the "system" every night for training.

Therefore, no success is obtained casually. Behind every success, there must be a lot of practice, a lot of sweat, and unknown hardships.And when Victor was training hard at the Vivorno training base and in his "system space".

The one-month winter transfer window was also quietly closed.Victor finally stayed in the city of Turin and stayed in the Juventus team.Unlike what some football reporters and media thought, in this winter transfer window, Victor left Juventus and joined Manchester City.

Victor was sweating on the training ground, following Pirlo to learn how to be a good late playmaker, and Juventus coach, Antonio Conte, was also watching.As for Victor's physical confrontation, not to mention the physical confrontation of the lagging playmaker itself, it is less than that of the forward players.Plus, Victor plays with his mind more than his body.If you don't play with your head, you won't be an excellent playmaker.

Such dedication can still pay off.The first is to go through the entire January winter transfer period, plus February, which itself has fewer days.After two months of training, Victor has already participated in the team's normal daily training.

And Victor, who changed his position in this way, naturally surprised the Juventus teammates first.After all, the impression of Victor is that he only remembers Victor's role in the frontcourt.Retreat to get the ball, attack with the ball, pass and shoot.And now, standing in the same position as Pirlo.Then pass the ball, whether it is a short pass, slowly organize and penetrate the offense.Or direct long pass to find the forward forward.Or he directly dribbled the ball to attack and caught the opponent by surprise.

It seems that he already has a certain demeanor of a lagging playmaker.However, such a Victor still cannot directly participate in the normal offense of the first team.After all, the current Victor only seems to be able to become an excellent lagging playmaker in the future, but he is still a "semi-finished product".

The game in March also passed quickly.And Juventus also showed their "confidence" in wanting to win the Serie A championship this season. Although after the winter break, some of them did not perform well in the league competition.However, Antonio Conte and his team also quickly adjusted their status and returned to the "fast lane" of the championship.

After the game in April, Victor was already in the training of the first team, leading the "substitute" side, and in the group training within the team, he played on par with the "starter" side. .Although for a team of the level of Juventus, there is no direct difference between the so-called "starter" and "substitute".

However, Victor's feeling in the position of delaying the core of the organization is also similar to that of Pirlo.This kind of progress not only made Pirlo, who taught Victor, feel quite a "sense of accomplishment." And the team's head coach, Antonio Conte, was also amazed by Victor's rapid transformation.

Therefore, Antonio Conte also intends to return to the court when Victor returns to represent Juventus's first team and participate in Serie A matches.However, Antonio Conte's plan was just to tell his assistant, the team's assistant coach, Francisco Conte.

And this day did not make Victor wait too long. On April 4, Juventus played against Roma at home.At this time, Juventus has basically firmly won the first place in the Serie A standings.In this game, Juventus also won 22-4 at their home stadium, the Juventus Stadium.It is equivalent to announcing the final ownership of this season's Serie A.

However, what surprised football reporters and the media most about this game was that Antonio Conte was in the Juventus squad announced before the game.After a lapse of four months, the name of Juventus's No. 11, Victor, appeared for the first time.

In addition, Victor came off the bench in the second half, not replacing the team's striker, but replacing the team's No. 21, which is Andre Pirlo's number.When Victor replaced Pirlo, no matter what language the commentator was speaking at that time, he thought that Juventus was not satisfied with the score at that time.Determined to score more goals for Roma at home.

At that time, after seeing Victor on the court, the standing position was not the position in the frontcourt where Victor should be standing in their memory.Instead, he stood in the team's midfield, standing between the central defender and the central midfielder.That is, Victor replaced Andre Pirlo's position, dragging behind the position of the playmaker.

All of a sudden, these football reporters and football commentators immediately felt that "the world is changing too fast, and I can't react".Victor plays the back playmaker, isn't he a forward player, what's going on here?As for Victor's performance after he came on the field, he can easily organize the team's offense, whether it is a short pass, a long pass, or shouting at his teammates, directing the movement.

It was impossible to tell that this was the Victor they remembered.Instead, it looks the same as Andre Pirlo.It seems that Victor himself is kicking this lagging playmaker.

After the game, those football reporters seemed to have discovered the "New World".The first question to ask Juventus coach Antonio Conte in his post-match press conference was:
"Did Victor change his position on the field?"

In this regard, Antonio Conte nodded and said with a smile:

"Yeah, he's a good playmaker right now."
