章 355: Teamwork and Creativity

Coach Johansen nodded to himself with a smile as he watched his players celebrating the goal. He then pumped his fist into the air a few times before turning around and focusing on the group of substitutes warming up on the sidelines.

Since Tobias had gotten injured, he had to replace him with another player who could attack and defend well on the wing. The substitute also needed to have the ability to draw fouls from the defenders so as to create more chances for Zachary to score set-pieces.

Coach Johansen's gaze soon settled on Karl Toko Ekambi, the 21-year-old winger he'd recently signed from Paris FC. But after a few seconds of consideration, he turned his eyes away.

Karl Toko Ekambi was, of course, a great player who could play perfectly while on the attack through both wings. But his only weakness was his limited defensive ability. So, the coach didn't require his services in a game where players needed to defend more than they would attack.
