Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 182

After Messi left, countless eyes focused on Sunderland.

They all know that the head coach Anton has great powers, and if he can invite Messi, he should be able to invite others.The media has been guessing for a long time, and even sent people to Newcastle Airport to stay.I didn't expect that the boots fell off today, and it turned out to be Ibrahimovic, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

In other words, why does Sunderland always stare at Barcelona when they recruit stars from other teams?

The media outside the Stadium of Light huddled together, but the fans were all overjoyed: Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic is coming to Sunderland!We can happily go down the tree.

Sunderland is a small place, and the fans have never seen a few superstars. Messi came to them before, allowing them to spend half a season like a dream. Messi’s departure really made them sad, but now they are When Ibrahimovic came, the fans couldn't help being excited: This is Ibrahimovic!

But soon, the fans were poured cold water on their heads. They were told: Ibrahimovic did not come to sign the contract, but Ibrahimovic challenged their coach Anton.

The fans were all stunned on the spot: Is that so...then we can't get down the tree yet?

In Guangming Academy, Ibrahimovic did come to challenge Anton.

This 1-meter tall man stood in the front hall of Guangming Academy, looking down at Anton—there were many people watching from the Sunderland club, but none of them could catch Ibrahimovic's eyes. All of them were directly ignored by him.

Among so many people in the front hall, he recognized Anton at a glance: only this handsome young man with a confident face, standing in the middle of the front hall to welcome him, could be the one who can be with Mei in "Life in the Greenery". Player A of the Western Alliance.

"Let me see your ability! As long as you have something that can convince me, I can join your team." Ibrahimovic looked at Anton carefully, thinking that this man is handsome, but his temperament is still too much. Too mild, without the arrogance he likes best.

"So, you came directly to Sunderland today, not to sign a contract to join my club?" Anton asked lightly.

Immediately, Ibrahimovic sneered "ha" and raised his face to the sky.

Ibrahimovic is arrogant, Anton is calm.The contrast between the two is very strong.But in the attitude of the two, Ibrahimovic did not gain the upper hand.

Although Anton is not as straightforward and domineering as Ibrahimovic, but at the bottom, Anton is as proud as Ibrahimovic.

Seeing that the two were fighting, behind Anton, the CEO Martin had a bitter face: at this moment, he had sent his staff to contact Ibrahimovic's agent about the transfer - but the other party made a challenge and said it out: Could this be... a scam?Are you kidding me?How can any player go directly to the club to ask for a test of the head coach?If he refuses to join in the end, won't he discredit Sunderland and Anton?

But Ibrahimovic has always been a person who does not take the usual path.

It is said that when Ibrahimovic first debuted, Professor Arsene Wenger once invited him to "trial training", but Ibrahimovic flatly refused, saying: "Zlatan has never tried training." It can be seen that he is crazy.

Now Ibrahimovic came to Sunderland alone, not even asking Sunderland to provide him with a contract, but asking the opposing coach to prove to himself that Sunderland is worth joining.

At this time, many players who should be training also heard the news, and they all gathered in the front hall to watch.Royce and Hummels had just finished training, with white steam on their heads. The last two rushed into the front hall. At this time, they stood on tiptoes outside the crowd, and they saw that Ibrahimovic was really big and tall. Standing far away in the middle of the crowd.

They quickly asked the people next to them: "What's the situation now?"

The staff of Guangming Academy responded and said, "The head coach has agreed to the other party's challenge."

Reus and Hummels asked in unison in surprise: "What challenge?"

If the opponent's challenge is about ball skills and shooting... these disciples should do it for them to deal with Ibrahimovic.

Before he could answer, Anton's voice sounded loudly: "At two o'clock this afternoon, Zlatan will compete with me at the gymnasium on the east side of the Sunderland City Hall, everyone is welcome to come and watch. "

Royce still didn't quite understand: "What gym?"

Hummels is already excited: "Taekwondo, taekwondo!"

"Anton is going to compete in taekwondo with that extremely arrogant guy?" The two young men shouted at the same time: "The boss is sure to win!"

Anton holds a ninth-degree black belt—the highest possible degree for his age.

The media waiting outside never expected that things would turn out like this—but thinking about Ibrahimovic's personality, Ibrahimovic is indeed capable of doing this.

The time and place of the challenge had been set, and the media hurried to the only gymnasium in Sunderland to seize favorable terrain there.The live report team of Sky Sports even contacted the headquarter, planning to arrange a "live broadcast", but couldn't find a commentator who could explain the Taekwondo match temporarily, so it was very frantic.

At around 01:30 in the afternoon, the taekwondo hall was already full of people. Howard Jones, the trainer of the gymnasium, is also the only amateur referee in Northeast China who has the qualifications of a taekwondo referee. Shocking: This gym has never received so many viewers since its opening.

——It’s all because of the upcoming duel between masters.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Anton and Ibrahimovic walked to the center of the gymnasium.At this time, both of them changed into taekwondo uniforms, and both wore black belts around their waists.After the meeting, the two bowed to each other in accordance with the Taekwondo tradition, with good etiquette.

At this time, Anton had already taken off his glasses in advance, and there were two shallow marks on the bridge of his nose, which were the marks left by wearing wide-rimmed glasses for many years.But this did not detract from Anton's handsome appearance in the slightest.When the onlookers saw Anton's "new image" clearly, there was a burst of screams from the crowd, mostly girls' voices, and then people began to call Anton's name rhythmically—— The gymnasium has become Anton's "home court".

Seeing that Anton reached out his hand and pressed it slightly, the gymnasium immediately fell silent.

I just heard Anton ask: "Do you want to wear protective gear?"

Ibrahimovic: "Is there any effect if you don't wear it?" This kid is quite honest, he just asks if he doesn't understand.

A smile appeared on the corner of Anton's lips: "Wearing protective gear has a style of play, and there is a style of play without wearing it."

What he meant was: if the opponent is wearing a protective gear, he can use some moves without any scruples; but if Ibrahimovic is not wearing a protective gear, he can't use some too powerful moves.

Ibrahimovic thought for a while, then nodded: "Dai!"

Anton nodded slightly, stared at Ibrahimovic seriously and said, "You are fine! Wearing protective gear is a sign of being responsible for yourself."

Ibrahimovic felt that the words were pleasing to the ear, and nodded, but after nodding, he felt a little bit: This is completely the attitude of the master towards the newcomers later.In this taekwondo contest, Anton seemed to have begun to control the field in terms of momentum.

So the two each put on protective gear, mainly helmets and armor.When Anton wore the helmet, there was a lot of regret in the stands: Anton's face could not be seen after wearing the helmet.But most of them also know that this sport is dangerous. Anton's doing this is a safe way, and it is also to make this "competition" as exciting as possible.

Jones stepped between the two and called the game on.

The rules of this taekwondo competition follow the competition system of the World Taekwondo Federation. The competition is divided into three rounds, each of which lasts 3 minutes, and there is a one-minute rest period during the competition.

Whether the game is won or lost mainly depends on whether the two sides use taekwondo techniques to hit the opponent's effective scoring parts, such as Anton's "stunt" whirlwind kick, and the corresponding points can be obtained by concentrating on the opponent's head.There are also KO wins in the game. If one party is knocked down and fails to stand up in time after the countdown is completed, the referee can make a KO win ruling.

The crowd of Sunderland fans at first held that watching the excitement was not a big deal, but now that their Anton and Ibrahimovic were standing on the gymnasium at the same time, the fans were a little scared.

Ibrahimovic has a height of 1 meters, about 95 centimeters taller than Anton.Long-handed and long-legged, extremely strong, with amazing jumping ability, Ibrahimovic seems to have been born for the two sports of taekwondo and football.

Compared with him, Anton is too gentle, as if he lacks the unique "gangster" temperament of Ibrahimovic.Even after the start of the first game, he was not as aggressive as his opponent—here, Anton seemed to be more modest and refined from the East.Even under Ibrahimovic's successive attacks, Anton gave way again and again, retreating to the edge of the field.

"I can't retreat anymore, Anton!" The fans shouted together.

Just when Anton almost stepped out of bounds with one foot, the man's edge suddenly appeared.Anton stretched out his arm and threw a straight punch, but it was a false move. When Ibrahimovic went to block, he had already retracted his fist, jumped up, turned 180° and kicked sideways, then turned around, pressing down on Ibrahimovic like a mountain. .

Ibrahimovic was caught by Anton, and he pushed back, trying to send Anton out of the arena.

But Anton took advantage of the strength that Ibrahimovic gave him, jumped up again, and kicked in the air in the opposite direction—this time he kicked Ibrahimovic firmly in the chest, with a muffled "bang", Kicking the opponent's armor.

"it is good--"

This time it was the referee himself who said hello.Jones is an amateur referee, but he's also a gym coach.Jones had never seen such a wonderful attack, and this time he couldn't help but yelled out.

After yelling, Jones realized something was wrong, looked around, and quickly added: "Score!"

Anton's two hits just now were standard offensive moves, and they hit the target, so he scored points.

At this time Jones quickly separated the two and announced that the game would continue.

Ibrahimovic looked at Anton, and there was some excitement on his face: it seemed that he had finally found an evenly matched opponent who could fight against him.

Who knows, at this time Anton made an unimaginable action: he took off the helmet he was wearing on his head, threw it aside casually, and at the same time stretched out his hand and waved to Ibrahimovic:

bring it on!Let the horse come!
