Granada Ultimately lose the match because of their mistake.
.
Next day, Andreas watched a collection of vintage footage he had amassed. By watching that video, he can see how Ronaldinho uses his dribbling to draw defenders to him. His teammate is now free to move into the open because of this. You can only do this if you have full faith in your skills.
'Well, Ronaldinho at his peak was another level of player. He can basically do everything on the court.'
.
Pacho and his assistant were reviewing the match against Las Palmas.
"From the next game on, I think we need to adopt a more defensive mindset. We let Las Palmas score three goals, and if we keep doing this, I worry that we will be dropped from the first division. "one of the assistants said.
"But if we do that, we can't guarantee that we will certainly win, right? And in our team, there are many good potential players." "Another coach said.
"I am thinking about making Andreas the core of the attack." Pacho said.
"In today's match, he performed well." And he can read the game, so I don't think there is anyone other than him who can take such responsibility."
.
.
Andreas did not know that he would be a core in the next game. He was busy talking to a pretty girl.
After talking While Andreas was thinking about the match they played,
'I should start performing better. This team is really bad. Maybe if I perform better, I can go back to Man UTD or maybe some other EPL team. Well, first, I should start performing better. Than i should find myself A reliable agent.'
Andreas falls asleep while thinking about his future.
Andreas was completing his morning routine after waking up. They get a two day vacation after the last match.
One thing he noticed about the team was that they really don't care about winning. They only care about personal performance. Because this team mainly consists of players on loan, they have no sense of belonging here. However, this is also true for him. But he always wanted to win.
.
.
.
"Beep.. beep"
On a training ground, the sound of a whistle can be heard from time to time.
"Remember Andreas. You are the core of the attack. And I give you full freedom in the court so that you can use your vision and flare."
Andreas nodded his head after listening to the coach's instructions.
After that, Andreas was greatly focused on the game. He can be seen anywhere in the field. Using his vision and flare to help the team Sometimes he accelerates the game tempo, and sometimes he slows down.
.
.
"He is a really talented player," one of the assistants said.
To Pacho's nod.
"We can't keep him for long."
"That's why we should use him more before he leaves us." Pacho said.
.
.
"Hey Andreas," Boga called him.
"Yeah."
"I was wondering if you could give me some assistance in the match."
"Well, will try. if you are in the right position. You got good speed, so try to use that in the match."
Boga nodded
While leaving the training ground, he remembers his time at Manchester United. There were always spectators during the training. Well, perks of being a small club, he guesses. He then glanced at his attributes. Its all the same as before.
After training, he went home. After that,
he tries to analyse the performances of Zidane and Ronaldinho. Determines their course of action in game by comparing it to his own assumptions about similar scenarios. It will help him make better decisions in the game.
.
.
"Okay, now for tomorrow's game, we will play in a 4-2-1-2-1 formation. Where two wings will try to play wide. And Andreas will play in the middle, with two DMs to support.
Remember to try to play slowly and keep the ball on your feet. Understand boys?"
"Yes, boss." They said it in unison.

While Boga smiles with his teeth and says, "Good pass."
'Good, pass my ass.' Andreas scoffed.

Andreas dribbled the ball forward. Ahead of him was only one defender left. Galvez was slowly approaching Andreas while maintaining a good distance so that he couldn't pass him through sudden acceleration.
Boga was making a run from Andreas' left side. Eibar's right wingback was closely behind him. Behind Andreas was Eibar's defensive midfielder.
Galvez was slowly closing down Andreas. Andreas knew if he didn't get past this defender, he would lose the opportunity to score as the defensive midfielder was behind him.
As Andreas approaches Galvez, he uses the inside of his foot to push the ball slightly. After that, he quickly snapped the ball in the opposite direction. [skill move: elastico]
"Wohhhhh!" a cheer broke out in the stadium.
"Did you see that?"
And old fans are asking others.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Several fans nodded. Their cheers didn't make any impact on Andreas. He passed Galvez and dribbled the ball forward.
Before he could react, Andreas passed him. He accelerated towards the final destination.
Goalkeeper Risego comes out of his position to stop him. Andreas was still a few metres away from him.
In a flash, Andreas makes a choice. He manoeuvres the ball inside of his boot.

He unleashes a controlled yet powerful shot. The ball left his foot with a whisper, curling elegantly in the air. The ball finds the perfect trajectory. The goalkeeper watches in despair as he makes one last unfruitful attempt to save. The ball sails with ease, grazing the inside of the post before nestling into the top right corner of the goal.
.
The stadium erupted in cheers. 14,000 people were roaring and cheering for this magical moment they witnessed.
"In a word: brilliant. The crowd is on their feet. why would they not be? The magic they just witnessed. People will believe that big-team matches are the only places where such mastery displays are possible. Who could have predicted that this match would include such a moment of grace? Perhaps, for the time being, at least, Andreas is not a major player. At least for now, we can call him Ronaldinho's sucessor. The elf who did the magic as soon as he stepped onto the field."
The commentator roared with his passionate voice.
Andreas rushed towards the corner. He did a sliding kneel. Boga runs as fast as possible.
"You have to teach me this trick,, Andreas." He was roaring in his ear.
Soon, others joined. Some ruffled his hair, some patted his ass.
"Hey, who pats my ass, damn it?"
Well, no one seems to be replying to his question.
.
Andreas feels that in this match, he will do more magic.
The game restarted. The player from Eibar was passing in their half.
"Concentrate, there are still 65 minutes left." Their coach was shouting from the dugout.
"Don't give them space." Pacho was roaring.

The left wing-back of Eibar won the ball. He quickly passes the ball to the middle. Jota number 10 of their team receives the ball. Uche quickly closed him down. But Jota passed the ball before it got too dangerous. Leon, the right winger of Eibar, receives the ball on the wing.
"Eibar on the counterattack. They are passing the ball fast. Oh, Leon passed it back to Jota. Jota got free space in front of the box. It could be dangerous for Granada."

After a few minutes, Andreas got the ball in his own half. Right after he gets the ball, Jota brings him down. Andreas could not help but smile at him. He was closely watched by an opponent after the first goal.
After that, Andreas got a few touches, but he couldn't do anything as he was closely marked.
Pacho was frowning after seeing this scene. Because of his tactics, Andreas' flair was greatly needed for breaking opposition tactics. Like the first goal, Andreas created that goal by himself with his talent and flare.

[A/n: YOU guys may think I am underestimated, Granada. But in reality, Granada lost this match 2-1. And pacho is not the type of coach who can help a team win with certain tactics. So if Grannada wants to win, Andreas must perform.
And do tell me if you have any complaints about pacing.]
