Chapter 680 God's Turn
Hazard found himself standing in the familiar St. Mary's Stadium, a little dark, as if the lights were not turned on.
The exit of the passage in front is very bright, but not dazzling. You can vaguely hear the shouts of fans coming in from the stands of the stadium outside. The closer you get to the exit, the louder and clearer the sound, as if you can hear someone's name calling.
A white light flashed, and everything suddenly became clear.
He found himself at the exit of the player's passage at St. Mary's Stadium, and the entire stadium was filled with shouts from fans.
It was very big and very clear, and he could even clearly hear the exact location of the sound.
For example, above his head, there was a team's hardcore and loyal fans who would shout, and they always curse themselves.
This is incredible!
Hazard stood at the exit of the player passage in a daze, looking at the left, the right, the front, and then the back. Everything was exactly the same as when he walked out of the player passage before the game, and it was very realistic.
On the court, the two sides had already set up their stances against each other, and the referee's whistle was already in his mouth and was ready to go.
He knew that it was about to start!
With the referee's crisp whistle, Hazard felt a flash in front of him, and he was already in the opponent's penalty area.
As soon as he looked up, he saw himself.
Very familiar, wearing a red and white arrow striped jersey designed by Christopher Bailey, a famous designer in Aspree, gasping and looking very tired, but he was still running in front of him, patiently looking for opportunities.
He believed that it was himself, because he had always done this!
If you want to gain a foothold in Bielsa's team, you must do your best in every game.
After passing the ball back and forth a few kicks, the ball came to his feet.
He started from the left, took skillful small steps, crossed the ball, and began to cut into the middle.
"Transfer!" Hazard blurted out.
Because he saw Suarez running out of the open space in the penalty area and asking for the ball, but Hazard on the court seemed not to see it, and passed another player on the opponent when cutting in.
"Come on the right!"
It was obvious that Sturridge was diagonally inserted from the right rib into the penalty area to meet him.
The Hazard on the court was a little hesitant, thinking about whether he wanted to shoot himself or pass the ball to Sturridge?
But it was this hesitation that he missed the excellent fighter and the opponent's central defender came up.
In a hurry, Hazard chose to kick himself, but the angle was too small and he was hugged by the goalkeeper.
This made Hazard feel very depressed.
Because he knew very well that this was an excellent opportunity he missed in the game against Manchester United.
No, it should be said that it was twice, once for Suarez and once for Sturric, but he missed both times, and finally made the worst choice in a hurry and shot himself.
"I should have passed it earlier!"
But just when Hazard regretted it, the picture changed again.
This time, Southampton was wearing a away jersey, and the game was obviously different from the one just now.
Tony Cross made a long pass with a diagonal pass and accurately found Hazard on the left. The latter took off the ball with one steadily, and the ball seemed to be stuck to his feet.
This time he played with the opponent's rash defender, and after easily passing, he dribbled the ball from the left rib and penetrated the penalty area, and then he swung past the opponent's tall central defender in the penalty area.
At this moment, Hazard, who was watching coldly, exclaimed, "Opportunity, hit the door!"
But Hazard on the court seemed to have no idea and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic.
The Swedes' position is not good, and there is a central defender next to him, so he received the pass from Hazard and used his physical advantage to open up the space for kicking, but the angle was too small and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
Hazard remembered that this game was against Hul City.
"Why? I didn't even notice such an obvious opportunity?"
Hazard asked himself in a very entangled manner.
But he had no time to regret it. The picture changed again and entered the next game, but it was still his mistake.
...
"Master Huan, look, this is what Hazard sees now!"
In the Nike Training Center in Stapletwood, in front of a virtual training system that Southampton has just formed, Marcus Du Satoy smiled and introduced Yang Huan to the team's new equipment.
In the room in front of them, Hazard was wearing a pair of shorts and laying on a platform, with many data cables with sensors connected to monitor his every move, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, etc.
Through these data, the system will automatically obtain Hazard's mentality at this moment, such as nervousness or disappointment.
Yang Huan and Marcus Du Satoi saw everything Hazard saw at this moment through the LCD monitor.
The difference is that Hazard uses a first-person perspective and has a full sense of substitution, while Yang Huan and others' pictures are divided into two parts, one is the first-person picture seen in the virtual reality helmet, and the other is Hazard's situation.
"These images are made from game videos provided by Sky TV and BT. They are all scenes of Hazard's turnovers in the past season and this season, and they are all scenes of him missing the pass and shooting opportunities during the game."
Yang Huan nodded, and he also realized that it was all mistakes in these two aspects.
"Why?"
Marcus du Satoi smiled and looked at Bielsa next to her.
The Argentine madman put glasses on the bridge of his nose, "From the current situation, Hazard is a very outstanding opportunity creator. He is the best player in our team who is good at creating opportunities and is also the best at dribbling and breaking through."
"The lightning four-degree, the lightning-thrust foot technique, and the irresistible flexibility allow him to easily get rid of the defensive players even when facing intensive defense, and create enough space for himself and his teammates. Although he is not tall enough, he is very strong and is not afraid of physical confrontation at all."
Speaking of this, Ersa gave her own evaluation.
"All of this is the basis for him to become the best player in the world!"
Yang Huan is no exception to this, and he is also waiting.
Because in normal circumstances, Bielsa should have a god-turning turn next.
Sure enough, Bielsa was followed by a but!
"However, as the creator of the classical school opportunity, Hazard's desire to score is not strong enough, and even many scoring opportunities that should have been unsuccessful, he eventually chose to pass the ball and missed the opportunity."
"So, this season, as long as I arrange Hazard to start on the left, I will definitely arrange a deputy scorer on the right. The best ones are Sturric and Suarez, and Sanchez's effect is more average."
Lavel Morrison is a more traditional winger. He is not very good at scoring, but he is a one-shot breakthrough by the wing, and he is very fast and has a very active skill under his feet.
If we follow Bielsa's words, we can understand why Hazard's performance last season was also very eye-catching.
At that time, the team was Gareth Bale, who had a strong scoring ability, on the right side!
"Hazar has unlimited potential. In terms of passing, he does not have much forward pass, especially the last pass, which needs to be further strengthened. In addition, I am considering strengthening his scoring ability and desire to make him more comprehensive."
Regarding these, Yang Huan asked himself that he was not an expert, but it seemed to sound very good.
"What about Sanchez?" Yang Huan asked with concern.
The Chilean winger is also one of the strongest players in Southampton's frontcourt. But interestingly, the performance of both of them is not very ideal in the matches he and Hazard this season.
Some people even say that the two winger players are completely incompatible and mutually exclusive.
"Sanchez is a player who is more mature than Hazard, and his ability to dribble and break through is not as good as Hazard, but Hazard's ability to dribble and break through is the same level as Messi. Sanchez is at best slightly inferior, but Sanchez is more efficient and his scoring ability is better than Hazard. However, the two of them appear at the same time, not as fans and the media say, incompatible."
"Why is that?" Yang Huan was very strange.
"No goal!" Bielsa gave the answer very affirmatively.
"What's the meaning?"
"They all created a lot of opportunities, but the efficiency of these opportunities to translate into goals is too low, so in the eyes of fans and media, the two players, the team's goals dropped sharply, or the trident in the frontcourt performed poorly, is the reason."
Yang Huan immediately understood, "Then what trick do you have?"
Bielsa shook her head, "This kind of thing cannot be rushed. On the one hand, the two need to accumulate more training and competitions to cultivate tacit understanding. At the same time, I also hope to further urge them to make progress and make them more comprehensive."
Bielsa said this, she was very sure and looked at Yang Huan seriously, "But I can tell you with certainty that Master Huan, their partner with Suarez, plus Sturridge and Raville Morrison, will shock the entire European football world!"
After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled and understood what Bielsa meant.
Ibrahimovic and Drogba are both old, and the team's entire frontcourt strength has also changed drastically from that time. In the past, Ibrahimovic supported it alone, leading the team's entire offensive system, but now, the Swedish center has restricted Southampton's frontcourt attack power.
This may seem cruel, but professional football is like that.
Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth!
However, Yang Huan has already planned it with Raiola, and I believe that Ibrahimovic will be satisfied with this arrangement by then.
This is already the only thing Yang Huan can do!
Hearing Bielsa say this, Yang Huan let go of his heart. It can be seen that the team is still very careful in Hazard's plan. As a layman, there is no need to worry about anything.
But he still had a question in his mind.
"Marcelo, how are you going to arrange Kaka?"
Southampton has given Kaka a lot of time and opportunities so far this season, but the performance of the Brazilian has always been lukewarm. It cannot be said that it is too bad, but it does not make Kaka too bright. Therefore, the outside world has criticized Kaka.
After hearing this, Bielsa shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Master Huan, if you look at the performance of the stadium, Kaka is indeed not very good, but the analysis results obtained from our statistics show that Kaka is gradually improving bit by bit."
"Is that true?" Yang Huan was delighted and looked at Marcus Du Satoi.
The latter also nodded and expressed his support for Bielsa's conclusion, "After several months of recuperation and rehabilitation training, Kaka's body is already qualified to play the entire game. His main thing now is his psychological problem."
This made Yang Huan happy. If Kaka could be activated, it would be equivalent to introducing a superstar.
But, is it possible that the team still has to continue to trust him? Continue to give him opportunities?
"Master Huan, overcoming the fear in his heart is a difficult and thorny process. It's not like lighting a lamp. It's just like turning on the switch. It's not that simple. All we can do is trust and support!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he could only nod.
Since the coaching team and analysis team believe in Kaka, and they believe in them, we can only continue to trust Kaka.
Hope Kaka doesn't disappoint!
"Master Huan, please come with me!"
