Chatting with Morgan was one event in Andreas' life.
.
.
Man utd,
Manager room
As he read the email from an influential scout of Manchester United, he gave a very high grade to this player, saying that this player would be as good as Ozil in the future. Mourino got a little interested in this player.
The scout used Ozil as a template to evaluate this player.
.
"Well, Another technical player." he commented after watching the video. It's not that he dislikes this kind of player, but united have no shortage of this type of player.
Having bought Pogba from Juventus, he no longer needs this type of midfielder. Pogba was bought for 80m, so he needs more transfer budget. He still wants a defensive midfielder to stabilize defenses.
.
.
.
The coach generously gives Andreas and the team two off days since the next match is on the 28th of August.
He still comes to the training ground to train.
Different skill moves are now easy for him, which was impossible in the past.
The credit goes to Ronaldinho, but more important is how he works this trick in the game. There are many flashier Brazilian players worldwide, but only some can work these plays effectively in the game.
After working on his long shots and dribbling, he ends his Training.
.
.
There was a practice match taking place on the training ground of Granada. The red vests were the Main players, and the blue vests were the substitutes.
Andreas was playing in the red vest in his position.
His right foot fired the ball into the upper right corner of the goal after receiving the ball in the middle from Boga.
The substitute goalkeeper didn't even try to save the ball. Or, more importantly, he didn't have enough time to react.
"This is his 2nd goal from the same position." The assistant said to the pacho.
He nodded at the word of his assistance..
.
On the field, Andreas gives thumbs up to Boga, who sent this pass.
"Ok guy's end of training."
.........…
28th August
Las Paslmas vs Granada,Las palmas.
"Hello, I am valdano your host. With me, here is my commentary partner for today's game Moreno.
What do you think of today's game Moreno."
" Las Palmas is playing very well since they are entering La Liga this year, while Granada, as we can see, drew against strong Villareal last weekend.
This is the battle of relegation. As you can see, both teams will try to stay in this 1st division, so this match will impact their standing as the season progresses. For a relegation battle, every win is important."
"I agree with you. I got the starting lineup for both teams.
Las palmas is starting in their familiar 4-2-3-1. Goalkeeper: J.varas
Two defenders D.garcia ,Bogas. Two Fullback Michel, Castellano.Two defensive mid, Gomez and Mesa.One attacking mid-J.viera.Two wingers El zhar and K.boateng.With one single striker M.Livaja.
Granada started with 4-4-2.
Ochoa
G.silva-Uche-David-Tithe
L.martins-Andreas-krhin-isac cuenca
j.BOGA- Ponce.
What do yo think of both team lineup and formation, Moreno?''
"Well, Las palmas is going with their traditional formation. But Granada, I think going a little attacking. As you can see, there is much change in their formation. You see Andreas placed in the middle, but I think in the game, he will be a little upfront, making the formation 4-1-2-1-2. So there will be one defensive mid.
As long as Las Palmas can counterattack, which they will certainly do, they might score or win the match."
He explained his thoughts to the audience and his partner."
Is Las Palmas capable of winning?"
"Of course"
"Well, we'll see when the match is over."
.

First half ..
Las palmas Kickoff..
2"J. Varas sent a long through ball to the opponent half. But Kevin Boateng was caught offside.
Tito passed the ball to Isaac. Who was in the right-wing. He passed it to Andreas, who was close to him.
Mesa rushed toward Andreas, trying to steal the ball from Andreas. His sole responsibility in the match is to mark Andreas and make him uncomfortable. This is what the coach told him to do.
Seeing this, Andreas passed it back to Isac. Mesa smrikked after that.
"What? Can't dribble past me ?"
Andreas ignores his provocation.
On the wing, Boateng tracks back, tackles Isaac, and wins the ball. He then passes it in the middle to Viera.
Viera dribbles the ball forward. He passed it to right winger el zhar. He quickly dribbled past left-back G.silva and cut inside. He shot the ball with his right after cutting inside.
The shot he uses is low-driven.
It goes out of bounds after touching Ochua's hands.
"Boateng tracks back and wins the ball from Isac. Oh, he passes it to Viera. Viera quickly sends it to the wing. El Zhar dribbles past the left back ... Oh, he hits a low-driven shot.
Ochoa responds quickly and sends the ball out of bounds.
What a quick counterattack from las palmas."Valdano said.
"Ochoa made a good save there," Moreno added.
5' Andreas receive the ball in his half. But mesa didn't leave the position to mark him, leaving him unmarked. Andreas steadily dribbles the ball.
Mesa comes forward to steal the ball when Andreas crosses the center line. Seeing this, Andreas passes the ball to the left midfielder Martins.
After that, Andreas moves forward. Martins tries to play a one-two with Andreas. But the pass was cut off in the middle by defensive mid-Gomez. Gomez sent a cross to Boateng, who was in the left wing.
After receiving the ball, he crosses the ball into the box. In the box, las palmas number 9 was fighting an ariel battle with the defender. They both missed the ball. Ochoa Comes forward and catches it.
"Right now las palmas playing better football than Granada."
"As I said earlier, Las palmas will play counter-attack and it seems Granada is having difficulties stopping their counter."Moreno said.
Andreas shook his head. Granda's current tactics aren't suitable for them. Paco tries to play possession-based football. They sure have more possession, but they can't attack because of a lack of understanding or chemistry or team strength.
Andreas drops deep to receive the ball. He will try to attract opponents to press him in this way, his teammates can open up, well, this is against the head coach's order, but they can't keep going like this.
9" Andreas receives the ball from Defender Uche in his own third. He then started dribbling forward.
On the dugout, paco frowned upon seeing that, Because in his tactics, Andreas should be in the front playing as Attacking mid. And he didn't give him the freedom to drop deep.
Upon seeing that Viera tries to block Andreas' path. His idea was to steal the ball from Andreas and start the attack.
Viera Presses Andreas from the left side; seeing this, Andreas accelerates to his right. Viera thought Andreas would use his speed to get past him, so he kept pace with Andreas.
Suddenly Andreas slowed down his speed and slowed down his rhythm. Viera couldn't keep up. He was one step ahead of Andreas. Andreas bypasses him from his left.
Andreas again uses his speed. He dribbles through the middle.
Mesa comes to block him. He was cautious so that he doesn't pass by like Viera.
Andreas slows down a little in front o mesa. He drags the ball back with his right foot and pokes it to mesa crouch.
Mesa tried to close his foot, but he was late. Andreas bypassed him when he took the ball and dribbled forward. He felt a sudden pull from behind.
Mesa turns around and pulls Andreas from behind.
As Andreas felt a sudden pull, he lost his balance, but before falling, he sent Boga a straight-through pass.
Upon seeing Andreas dribble through the middle, Boga immediately made a forward run. He successfully beat the offside trap and received Andreas' pass.
Garcia tries to stop Boga by using his body, but he fails. Boga smoothly receives the ball in the d-box.Boga was one-one with Goalkeeper.Goal keeper tries to block the near post, but Boga shoots the ball into the far post.
.
.
.
"Granada is ahead. Boga scores his first goal for Granda. Andreas deserves 90 percent credit for this goal. He is doing so much work."
"Let's start from the beginning. Andreas drops deep from his original position. Then he dribbles through Viera and Mesa before passing brilliantly. What do you think about this assist Moreno?"
"In this pass, we can see his speed, technique, and vision. As he dropped down to receive the ball from the defender, he used speed and technique to shake the opponent and finally sent a pass that led to a goal. This is a solo performance by a player. This was an artistic performance by this young Brazilian."
Earlier, Paco frowned because Andreas dropped deep to receive the ball in opposition to his tactics. But who cares if it turns into a goal? He is waving his fist.
.
.
A thousand granda fans were in a frenzy right now. Boga goes to the stand to celebrate his first goal.
Las palmas coach shook his head in the dugout. He signaled to the team to strengthen the attack of the team.
15"In the defensive half, Kevin-Prince Boateng wins a free kick.
19' Attempt missed. Ezequiel Ponce header from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the right. Assisted by Luis Martins with a cross.
"Las Palmas created quite a few chances after conceding the first goal but couldn't convert them into goals," Valdano said.
"Yeah, they were pretty unlucky.But the way they are playing Granada is on the back foot now.I think they will even score soon." commented Moreno.
Boateng takes the ball into the wing . Tito tries to close him down. Boateng was trying to cross the ball into the middle of the box…
Boateng crosses the ball. Livaja attempts to win a header against Uche.
Despite winning the header, Uche failed to clear the ball. The ball is still in the restricted area of Granada.
David Lomban attempts to clear the ball with his foot. What happened? Lomban misplaced the ball and went to El Zhar at the edge of the box. He shot.
...Goallllllllll.... EL zhar hits the back of the net with a low-driven shot. Ochoa is unable to stop it.
Poor defence from Granada."
.Andreas shook his head helplessly. Andreas clapped his hand and said, "Don't be discouraged they just tied with us. Don't lose focus."
In the dugout, Paco was furious at this mistake.
"What are you guy's doing? Focus..focus.."
.
.
Granada kick-off.
.
25" Boga tries a long shot..which Goalkeeper easily saves.
28" Vincent Gomez dribbled the ball in the midfield and was bought down by Rene krhin. He won a free kick in the attacking half.
Boateng sent a cross into the box, which a defender resolved.
30" Andreas receives the ball in attacking third. He was fouled by Mesa immediately after receiving the ball. Granada won a free kick from 35 meters away from the post.
Isac comes to take the long free kick.
"Give me a long pass in the wing .." Andreas told him as Isaac was about to take the free kick. Andreas moved to isac position in the right wing.
ISAC sent a long pass to the wing where Andreas received it. But the pass was a bit heavy. Still, he managed to control it. Castellano tries to close down Andreas when he sees Andreas' first touch is a bit rushed.
Andreas didn't control the ball fully before that opponent left back rushed at him. Andreas pokes the ball with his toes. The ball flew over the head of Castellano and land in behind him.
"Beautifull escape."
Andreas received the ball and entered the restricted area from the right side. Mesa rushed toward him, intending to stop this attack. He used a sliding tackle to destroy the ball at Andreas' foot.
In the nick of time, Andreas saw Mesa's action. So before Mesa could use his tackle to stop the attack, Andreas sent a low pass to the near post.
There, Ponce scored the most straightforward goal of his life. He simply tapped it in.
"Goallllllll . .Granada.Ponce just scored the easiest goal in his life."
"Andreas, what a player he is. We could look forward to his future." Moreno commented.
Ponce aimed his finger at Andreas to celebrate together.
"Thanks for the pass, man."
"Good finish."
Isac and Boga joined them in the celebration.
.
..
. The Las Palmas coach shouted loudly to remind his disciples to keep their focus.
32" Andreas Shot a long shoot outside the box resulting in a corner kick.
35''The right winger El Azar sent a low cross into the box. Uche failed to stop it. Livaja shot the incoming ball into the right corner, but Ochoa saved it.
40"Viera sent a pass to el azhar.El zhar received the ball at the edge of the box. he shot from there with his left foot aiming at the left corner. But he missed the target.
Ochoa shouted to his teammates, "Why is he open? What are you guys doing?".
"El Zharrrrr...oh he missed the target very narrowly. He had an exceptional match today."
"After scoring the 2nd goal, Granada players are losing their focus. They seem to be sleepwalking," reported Moreno.
He sighed. His teammates are losing focus in the game, which is the case with a weak team lacking a winning mentality. He clapped his hand and said, "Focus, focus. the match is still in progress."
His teammate looks at him. Nobody said anything to him. Well, They are leading because of him.
Paco was ready to shout at this mistake, but when he saw Andreas was doing it, he didn't.
After the first goal, Andreas did not drop down deep. So the team needs a commander. They have more possession but are simply passing the ball without any intent.
Although he is not a famous coach, he can still see the change Andreas can bring to the team when he drops deep to catch the ball.
.
.
45+2 "FIRST half end.Las palmas1, Granada cf 2. who do you think played better in the first half?"Valdano asked to Moreno.
In terms of overall team performance, Las Palmas played better. If they were lucky, they might have been able to tie the game up.
Granada needs more team chemistry. Andreas played exceptionally well in the first half, which is why they led. However, Las Palmas should take some action against Andreas. His performance might drop in the second half.
.
.
.In the locker room..
Paco was reminding the players to stay focused.
"Don't lose focus, and be more aggressive when defending. KrHin, your job is to defend; you don't need to go forward."
Krhin nodded at the coach's words. Than paco looks to Andreas,
"Andreas, you can drop deep. I'm giving you complete freedom in the second half. Whether you can use it in the future depends on how you perform."
Andreas was surprised at the bald head coach's decision. "Ok, coach."
"Boga, when Andreas drops deep you need to fill his position."
.
.
.
Las palmas locker room.
The first half was good, but we must mark number 18 closely in the second half. Make him uncomfortable. Hit him harder. Scare him away.
Coach looked at his two defensive mid and said.
"If you can completely freeze him, we will win easily."
.
.
Granada, Spain.
At certain bars.
"Hey, do you think we will win?"
"We will surely win. We are ahead of them."
"I hope so. But they are playing better than us."
.
.
.
"What do you think of number 18?"
"Are you talking about the Brazilian?"
"Yeah."
"I know he played well, but Las Palmas is all we have. Do you get what I mean? We don't lack players of his caliber." Mourinho told his assistant.
"Las Palmas have been playing exceptionally well since the second half started. They are trying hard to score a goal. What do you think, Moreno?"
"You're right, they've been playing well since the beginning of the second half. They're attacking from the wing where Getafe's defence is weak, and I think they will succeed in the forthcoming minutes."
In the dugout, pacho was screaming to his player to strengthen the defense in the wing.
50" Andreas sent a through ball to the front. Ponce received the ball outside the box. He shot the ball with his left foot, which Goalkeeper easily saved. Following that, he passed the ball to the left side.
Castellano received the ball. He dribbled the ball forward in the open space. Granada players were a little late to track back. He passed the ball to Marko livaja who dropped to wing from the center position.
Marko dribbles the ball forward. Tito is trying to close him down before he makes a cross. But he failed to do that. Marko crossed the ball aiming in the box where Boateng was waiting. He jumped high and headed the ball….
"Goal...Las palmas equalized. The counterattack defeated Granada."
Andreas shakes his head in disappointment. Well, this team is terrible. These were his inner thoughts.
61" Andreas drops deep to receive the ball from center back. With this, he also attracted Mesa out of his position.
Mesa followed his head coach's arrangement to stick with Andreas. Following the such close defense, andreas passed the ball to uche. After that, he quickly runs forward.
Uche passed the ball to the left back.
In the dugout, setien nodded, seeing that his arrangement was correct.
Andreas naturally knows he will be guarded strictly after halftime.
If it were a good team, it was not a problem, but this team is Granada, so it is difficult for the team to win these matches if he doesn't do something.
62'Viera shot from outside the box but missed the post by an inch.
"Las palmas is playing well after their second goal.They are dominating the ball and they are creating more attack than Granada."Moreno said,
"Las palmas defense again andreas is successful.They successfully restricted him.So granada is having a very hard time."His partner added.
65'Andras gets the ball from Cuenca in the middle. Mesa was In front of him. Before he gets too close, He uses heel-to-heel skill moves to get past him. After getting past, he accelerated from the middle.
"Andreas .. again uses the same skill to avoid a defender."
"Fuck."A cursed escape from Mesa. He followed andreas from behind. But andreas already accelerated.
In front of andreas was las palmas's last line of defenders. Their focus was entirely on Andreas. Andreas was 30 meters away from the post. The two defenders maintain a distance from Andreas which blocks him from further breakthroughs in the opponent's thirds.
Andreas shot with the instep of his right foot.
The ball flew out with a curve but still missed the post.
Andreas shakes his head in disappointment./
