Chapter 18 Damn Team Awareness!

When Simon Grayson held a coaching team meeting overnight, Neymar was also talking on the phone with his agent. This time Wagner Ribero really couldn't stand Neymar's arrogance. I worked hard to help you get the opportunity. You were wasted so easily because of your desire to perform. You... are you fucking brainless!?

"Silva, do you know what you did? You are ruining your future! Who is Simon Grayson? Don't you know? Since that guy has a nickname like "brutal Simon", he has always been decisive in his work. Even if he just came to Barcelona at the beginning of the season, he still cleaned Messi, Pique, Sanchez and others with pressure. Do you really think you are more important to Barcelona than them?"

Neymar grabbed the phone and said nothing. He realized that he had made a mistake. Although the head coach did not immediately give him up because of his timely apology, next... it would be difficult to win back Simon Grayson's heart!

"Wagner, I said that I have expressed my opinion to the head coach in time, so... Well, I think I should still have a chance, right?"

Wagner Ribero's contemptuous laughter came from the receiver: "Hahaha, chance? Do you actually think you have a chance? Oh - Silva, you do have a chance. I believe that in the days ahead of Barcelona, ​​you should still be able to play in some unimportant games, and then when you perform a little better, you will be sold at a higher price."

"This... shouldn't be possible?"

Neymar said this and he was a little guilty. If someone else had been the head coach, this kind of thing would have happened naturally. After all, Barcelona spent hundreds of millions of euros for him. In recent years, the money has reached an astronomical figure. In addition, he is only 26 years old and has just renewed his contract with the team for five years. His value is still very attractive.

But... Barcelona's coach is Simon Grayson now!

What else can't be done by this man named "Brutal Simon"?

Barcelona is more like a Premier League team now. The club management doesn’t care about the team’s affairs at all and focuses on running the club. The team’s big and small matters are all Simon Grayson’s final say!

"Well, Silva, no matter whether Simon Grayson will give up on you anyway, I think you will be in the next days of staying in Barcelona. Training hard and fighting for the chance to play will not harm you. Even if you want to transfer in the end, it will be a bargaining chip for us to negotiate with the new team, do you understand?"

"Yes, Wagner. I get it!"

"Oh..." Wagner Ribero sighed over there: "Okay, Silva, don't think so much. Next I will find a way to help you. Now you should have a good rest. Only after you have a good rest can you ensure your condition."

On the second day of the game day, Simon Grayson gave the team a day off. After all, the team still won, and the players also need to relax in time.

When the next day of training, Simon Grayson did not criticize Neymar by name, but after he said something about the importance of "team awareness", the players knew who the head coach was dissatisfied with.

But this time, no one sympathized with Neymar anymore. Almost everyone felt that Neymar was indeed too "independent" because Barcelona players have now begun to understand that they are walking on a different road from the past, but also leading to success. Although the team has declined in controlling the ball, they have played better overall and have more offensive performance and scored more goals. The most important thing is... they can win!

Facts have proved how great and wise the coach of the "brutal Simon" is. Before we knew it, Barcelona players have begun to be conquered by Simon Grayson. After all, not every head coach can do the thirteen consecutive victories in various competitions. What's more, Barcelona has only experienced the blood exchange of most teams this summer, replaced the head coach, and changed the team's tactical style.

Although Barcelona players have not yet reached the point of blind trust in Simon Grayson, they will respect every tactical instruction of the "brutal Simon".

After the training began, Divaio and Lerotale began to practice tactics with the players, and Montoya and Salavi were also put forward more tactical requirements to let them pay more attention to the overall cooperation of the team on the right.

Three days later, Camp Nou welcomed the newly promoted Huesca team. Although Huesca's performance is not as outstanding as Girona, it is now ranked 16th among the twenty A-level teams, with 5 points more than the teams in the bottom three in the relegation zone.

But after encountering Barcelona at Camp Nou, no one thinks that Huesca has any chance. Even if they want to leave with a single point, they can't.

Just 5 minutes into the game, Shaq attracted Huesca's defense in the middle and divided the ball to the feet of the "Little Pharaoh" in the penalty area on the right. The Italian did not greedy for the goalkeeper who saved it, but directly passed it to the left. Gansuo, who followed up, easily pushed the ball to the empty goal and scored... 1:0!

"Beautiful! Perfect team cooperation! This goal is the result of a perfect team cooperation! Shaq and Salave's passing ideas are very clear, and Gansu's encirclement is also very good! Wonderful!"

Amid the crazy cheers at Camp Nou, the commentator released his passion. Now there is a strange phenomenon in Barcelona. As long as it is not Shaq's goal, fans will unreservedly dedicate the joy and passion in their hearts.

But... Shaq's goal-scoring ability is really strong!

Just four minutes later, when the game reached 9 minutes, Fabregas gave Shaq a straight pass outside the top of the arc in the midfield. Shaq turned around and drove the ball into the top of the arc, and suddenly shot with his right foot in front of the opponent's two central defenders!

"Dong!"

Shaq's shot was very powerful and fast, which was normal, but... the ball actually had a curve!

The ball drew a crescent moon-like trajectory to the right and then spun into the blind corner of the upper right corner of the Huesca goal!

Camp Nou Stadium... suddenly became quiet!

The ball entered!?

Such a ball... can you get into it too!?

The supporters of Barcelona at Huesca and Camp Nou were stunned. Everyone knew that the goal-scoring ability of "King of Football" Shaq was very abnormal, but how could he score in this way!?

This...this is just fucking cheating!

With great strength, fast speed, sharp angle, and extremely large curved trajectory that rotates out. Such a ball... is definitely a nightmare for all goalkeepers!

After a moment of surprise, Barcelona fans cheered for this wonderful goal. Although the heat and volume were much lower than Gansu's previous goal, Shaq didn't care about these at all, and he happily said the sentence "Cruijff, gotohell".

After taking the lead 2:0, Barcelona played more easily. They took the initiative on the court and created shot opportunities again and again. But it seemed that because their mentality was too relaxed, they failed to score again in the first half of the game.

Fortunately, the head coach was still very satisfied. Simon Grayson was very happy to see his team fully exerting his team consciousness, and even praised him during the halftime break. Although he was only two goals ahead, Huesca did not shoot at once, but Barcelona completed 14 shots, almost every three minutes. This efficiency is really amazing.

At this time, Simon Grayson was in a good mood, but after another forty-five minutes, Simon Grayson was in a very conflicted mood. It was not that Barcelona, ​​who played at home, was turned over by Huesca. In fact, they scored three more goals in the second half in the 45 minutes, and at the end of the ninety-minute game, they defeated their opponent 5-0.

However, these three goals were scored by Salavera, Rivero and Ben Parker. These three goals were also scored by the "Top Ten Stars". Can they prove how accurate Simon Grayson's vision in the transfer market is. Almost all the players he bought have played their due role, but Simon Grayson is really a little... unhappy!

Because these three goals are all from Shaq's...assisted!

It seems that because of the "team awareness" emphasized by Simon Grayson, Shaq used his head and his left and right feet to assist Salave, Rivero and Ben Parker in 52 minutes, 80 minutes and 87 minutes respectively. He scored a goal in this game and completed an assist hat trick.

But Simon Grayson was in a bad mood. His disciples had a lot of opportunities to score more goals in this game, but Shaq gave more assists to his teammates. This... this... is really depressing!

In this game, Barcelona scored 64% possession rate, with a pass success rate of up to 87%, and an astonishing 93% pass success rate, with a shooting rate of up to 34 times, but... it was Shaq, who was the offensive arrowhead, who only scored one goal.

Simon Grayson couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly at the end of the game: Damn! Did I do something wrong this time? Could it be... I promoted the "team consciousness" and turned Shaq, the goal machine, into the assisting king!?

Simon Grayson has no doubt about Shaq's ability. He thinks that if Shaq wants to do something, whether it is goals, assists, or even interception, defense, or passing in the middle and backcourt, he can become the best on the Green Field. After all, Shaq had done it when he was at Leeds United.

But... a goal!

What I need is a goal!
Chapter completed!
