15 Las palmas3

"Poor defence by 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.
