Green striker

Tarragona, which had been on a winning streak, came to an abrupt end at Elche's home court, which was trying to set a record.

At the post-match press conference, some reporters who came to the game would not miss this situation.

"For the result of this game, how do you evaluate a result like a draw."

"Tarragona failed to continue to set records. The fifteen-game winning streak in Segunda División was ended in three games. What do you want to say about this?"

Regarding the issues mentioned by these reporters, Mandy just said: "In this game, the players have tried their best, but the opponent did a good job. It may be a pity that they cannot continue to win and create new ones."

record, but this is football, no one will win all the time. And the result of a draw is acceptable to the team."

Mandy uses the word acceptance.

Unable to gain a victory, it ended with a draw. Tarragona took one point home in the away game.

Mandy was right about this result, and it was an acceptable situation for Tarragona.

They are still in first place in La Liga, with a clear lead in the league.

But in this draw, a lot of things can be seen just from the Elche match.

Tarragona's opponents in the league are now studying their games, tactics, and playing styles, and they have already received preliminary results.

From today's game, we can see that the technical and tactical aspects displayed by Elche have the shadow of Tarragona's own new style of play and tactics.

Therefore, this is also the result of Tarragona this season. Whether it is up or down, it is time to test the rotation and make adjustments.

"Does the draw mean that Tarragona's current tactics have been corrected? How to deal with such changes?"

"Do you think this is a sign that it may be difficult for Tarragona to achieve the same winning streak as before?"

This is what reporters are concerned about.

Tarragona's miraculous performance in Segunda División this season, and its "German" style quick counterattack, has set off a new wave of storms in Segunda División. This is a topic that can be discussed for a long time.

Now that Tarragona's winning streak has ended and the magic is gone, it is even more worthy of writing.

However, Mandy skillfully avoided talking about this issue.

Instead, Mandy said into the microphone: "For the team, regardless of victory, draw, or loss, it will not affect the team's goal for this season, which is to avoid relegation."

"We are still fighting hard to avoid relegation."

After Mandy's words came out, the reporter who asked Mandy the above question had an obvious sneer on his face.

Currently ranked first in Segunda División, Tarragona is still fighting for relegation?

hehe!

Who believes it!

The current situation in Tarragona is put to the reporter. If the reporter puts himself in his shoes, he will not believe what he says!

So the reporter's sneer can be explained. After all, Mandy's words were really perfunctory. The purpose of casually saying a few words was too prominent. She really treated the reporters as fools!

Who has ever seen that after twelve rounds of the league, the team ranked first in the Spanish Second Division with 34 points is talking about relegation?

It's really funny!

However, Mandy looked at the reporters in the audience. After he finished speaking, he smiled lightly and looked very calm.

Whether others believe it or not, Mandy herself treated these reporters as fools.

No matter how these reporters understood it, they would have reported it the day after the game.

Mandy doesn't care anymore.

Anyway, he will definitely not say anything about a bigger goal besides relegation, at least, he will definitely not say anything here now.

Because when you say something, whether you like it or not, when it comes out of your mouth, it is water that is thrown out and can never be taken back.

It's okay to do.

If you can't do it, then you are really asking for trouble.

In this post-match press conference, Mandy and Bennatto all had the same propaganda tone to the outside world.

No matter what the outside world thinks, Tarragona, their current season goal is still to focus on relegation.

Therefore, it is really difficult for reporters to find any valuable news about Tarragona.

If they want to write a manuscript, they have to rack their brains carefully and think about it.

But I don’t care about the reporters.

As soon as the time was up, Mandy and the deputy team member Benatto who attended the press conference today left the scene.

It's an away game, and now we're just waiting for the two of them to get in the car and go back.

"In today's game, our defense has a big problem. I also made some obvious mistakes during the game. Otherwise, this would not have been a draw." Bennato and Mandy were walking on the bus.

On the way in the car, Benato said to Mandy.

Now that the press conference is over, it is no longer a public occasion, so there is no need to be taboo about some of Benatto's words.

"We need to face up to the fact that some players' physical fitness and their status have inevitably declined and become unstable." As the team's vice-captain, Bennato has some things to say.

What Benato said can also be seen now. After the 12th round of the league, we are entering the middle of the season.

In this game, the performance, physical fitness and state of the main players were no longer so ferocious.

Especially, we just experienced a double match in a week.

"So who do you think needs a good rotation and enough time to rest?"

Now that Bennatto had raised his opinion, Mandy, who always didn't mind others expressing their opinions freely, supported it and asked, "For example, Chen Yang? Silin? Or Mović, Grossito, Fran?

·Garcia, or you, do you think either of you needs a good rest or two?"

Ask the individual when rotating breaks.

Bennato was slightly startled, and then he said tentatively in his own opinion: "I think it can be said that Jean Mović and Grossito, the two already strong full-backs, should rest for a while first.

Two games.”

"Well, what you said is very good. So, when should we take a break after one or two games?" Mandy followed Benatto's words and continued: "This is the current schedule? Don't forget,

We have two games next week, one against Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey at our home ground, and then next weekend, again at home, against Granada."

"Two games, two home games, let them rest, who should be able to replace their positions, and also ensure that the defense line is stable and will not fall easily?"

"Carlo, or Kokojevich?"

The two people Mendy mentioned are the current substitute players in the Tarragona team's defense. They are the kind of players who can be hit or miss. They are equivalent to a panacea for the defense, but their strength is quite average. Relatively speaking, they can only be

Substitute level.

Mandy looked at Bennatto and finally asked: "So, look at our defense. If you are replaced and rested, how can the team's formation for the next game be in the Copa del Rey against Barcelona without watching?

Winning, not to mention having a chance to tie, at least not losing too much in the game?"

When Mandy asked this, she reached a blank spot in Benato's mind. He scratched his head and hesitated.

"This...this..."

Benatto spoke hesitantly, and for a long time I didn't see him give a complete answer.

Because Mandy's words made Benatto not know how to answer it for a while, or in other words, he didn't consider the issues Mandy mentioned.

That is to say, he only saw that Mović and Grossito, including Fran Garcia and himself, were not in that state and needed to be adjusted or something.

But Tarragona still has to play. If they want to maintain their record, regardless of whether the results are good or bad, they must at least be able to play. What should they do to adjust when they are rotated?

Therefore, seeing Benatto's expression of being asked, Mandy couldn't help laughing.

Mandy asked again: "Bennato, are you really thinking about this problem and have already thought about it?"

"Otherwise?" Benato looked up at Mandy doubtfully.

"It would be nice if we changed the formation." Mandy said the reason. "It would be fine if we did not play a 4-2-3-1 formation but instead played a 5-3-2 or 5-4-1."

"Since there are going to be changes, then changes must be made."

"So, can this be won?" Benato asked back without thinking.

As a result, Mandy responded with a look that said you must be joking.

"Win? Are you serious?"

You know, it would be too much of a joke to win against Barcelona.

"This seems to be correct."

Benatto was laughing. Now he had realized what he was doing. He had gone too far, and he had been running without looking back when he wanted to go somewhere else.

"Okay, don't think so much. For us, the league is more important." Seeing Benatto's appearance, Mandy replied to him.

At this moment, the two of them have already left the stadium and are waiting at the agreed position outside the parking lot on the roadside.

Now Mandy was standing on the street with his hands in his trouser pockets, and Bernardo passed an extra coat next to him.

At this time, the wind is blowing a bit strong tonight, and you can already feel the rain in the air brought by late autumn.

It seems that a heavy rain will definitely fall here tonight.

The two people who were waiting for the bus to arrive, after Mandy finished her last words, for some reason, the two people who had been talking before suddenly became silent.

Except for the cold wind blowing outside and the occasional sound of vehicles driving past the stadium, the atmosphere was inexplicably silent.

Probably, after two minutes of silence.

"...Juan, it's still hard for me to imagine that I will play football in Tarragona on a day like today." It was Bennato who spoke first to break the atmosphere while waiting.

.

Benato said: "There will be a day when I attend the post-match press conference and the questions asked by the reporters below will no longer be about losing or relegation."

"It's about winning after all. A draw is the beginning of controversy, and we will be dissatisfied with our perfunctory answers. You know, in the past, maybe we answered those questions seriously, and they would just be as simple as wooden people."

Just say it, and it won’t matter anymore.”

There was a strange weirdness in Benatto's tone, or in other words, uneasiness!

"What do you want to express?" Mandy asked aloud.

"I just want to express... to express that we are now... different... very different!" Benatto waved his hands, trying to express his inner thoughts, "We... are no longer the same people we used to be.

Now! We are now No. 1 in La Liga, we are now... much, much different, just like a few seasons ago, in the 05-06 season, when Tarragona broke into La Liga for the first time."

"It's almost exactly five years since I came back. It's different. It's even stronger than before! You must know that feeling, Juan Mandy!"

As if he was so excited, Benatto finally called Mandy by name!

“…”

Mandy listened to Benatto's words. This time, he listened to them word for word.

Mandy said: "What do you think caused this change?"

"I think it might be because of...the team's new tactics? But...I think it's more because of Chen Yang...or maybe because of your many changes!" Bennatto used what he could think of personally.

, I gave my own answer wherever I could touch it.

In this regard, Mandy followed up, "You are right. The new tactics have helped the team. The arrival of new player Chen Yang has also helped the team. Some of my changes may have also helped the team.

"

"It's just that you have forgotten one more important thing, that is, on the basis of these, we have put in more energy and a lot of sweat. We are together! Being together as one is what makes us

The reason why we can win the wonderful results of those difficult games before is that we have given everything..."

"But the current result is indeed unimaginable for us in the past, isn't it? We are going through a great change, and this great change is developing for the better, isn't it?" Benatto interrupted Mandy.

words.

This made Mandy startled. He wanted to say something, but he found that he could not continue.

The reason was that Mandy suddenly felt that these changes were indeed as unimaginable as Benatto said!

Bennato never imagined that he would find himself playing in Tarragona at a time like this again.

And he, Mandy, noticed carefully now that he had never thought that he would be coaching the Tarragona team now. In the past few seasons when he coached, he had basically no investment in transfers, and he would be in this situation.

This season, I have achieved this result.

Moreover, unknowingly, even Mandy himself has undergone some unnoticed changes as the team progresses.

"Hahaha, you are right!"

It was Mandy who laughed.

In Mandy's smile, he clearly remembered that what he had said to Benatto before was all something he had discussed with Chen Yang many times long ago.

Otherwise, when it comes to tactics, last season he would definitely not have as many ideas as he does now.

"Perhaps, let's look for the reason. Maybe it's Chen Yang." Mandy said with a smile.

Chen Yang, he really must be counted among the main reasons.

He is absolutely indispensable for the current changes in Tarragona!

At this time, Benatto nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, I originally thought that this was the change brought about by Chen Yang."

At this moment, the two club buses also drove out of the parking lot and parked steadily on the side of the road.

A discussion on the current situation of the team ends here.

However, no matter what your personal will is, you choose your own direction.

For now, one outcome is a foregone conclusion.

That is, the changes in the Tarragona team have already taken shape!
