章 51: Already Behind

It was quite absurd for Norman to not start any of his top chance creators who could step up in tough moments to score difficult match-winning goals.

The two were currently the team's leading top contributors with Mateo having a total of twelve goals and ten assists to make up for twenty goal contributions and Ferran having a total of fifteen assists plus eight goals to make up for twenty-three goal contributions.

<Well, he did say he was doing it to prevent injuries>

'I am aware of that but Mateo was benched in the last match and we almost lost it because of that, why not bench Ferran just like he said and start Mateo? Why bench both of them?' Dave replied. 'You won't be able to blame injuries when you lose a match because you decided to bench your best players who are clearly fit for the match.'

<Maybe he has a plan, you just have to watch and see what he's up to>

'I just hope you're right about him having a plan and I hope it's not a plan that is guaranteed to fail.'
