Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 13: Has Lippi's dream girl from his later years appeared? (Seeking monthly votes)
Team A's half at this moment.

Feng Renliang hadn't had time to return to participate in the defense because he had been dispossessed.

He has been with Evergrande for a long time, but Muriqui is like a mountain pressing down on him.

No matter how hard he tries, he can only get a few sporadic playing opportunities when others are rotated out or injured.

He was unwilling to accept it, but what could he do in the face of such a huge gap in strength?

Like this time, he clearly gave it his all, but what was the result?
Feng Renliang was somewhat discouraged; no matter how hard Team B tried, they were still no match for them.
However, just as Feng Renliang turned his head to think about returning to his position after Team A scored, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The young man who had just started speaking Italian managed to intercept the ball so easily, overpowering Muriqui.

Moreover, after smoothly controlling the ball, that guy even sent it directly to the frontcourt with his right foot!
A big kick to clear the danger?

Do not! ! !
When Feng Renliang saw that the end of that beautiful arc was right behind Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting, the two full-backs of Team A in front of him, in the most awkward position!
Just as Feng Renliang was about to give up, he suddenly pushed off the grass and darted forward.

Everyone knows that Evergrande's fastest player is called the Cheetah.

However, in terms of speed alone, Feng Renliang wasn't much slower than the cheetah!
A rainbow fell from the sky!
Grass clippings kicked up underfoot!
After Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng turned around, they were devastated to find that Feng Renliang, who had just been shut down by his own teammate, had already leaped over them like a cheetah and dispossessed the ball that had curved so beautifully.

Feng Renliang is no match for those weaklings in the reserve team!
After unloading the ball, facing the hastily attacking Zeng Cheng, Feng Renliang used the instep of his right foot to push the ball back to the far post.

The football passed Zeng Cheng without any hindrance and went into the corner of Team A's goal!

Less than a minute into the game, Guangzhou Evergrande's star-studded team, which used to easily dominate the B team, unexpectedly conceded a goal!

The training ground fell silent!

No one's attention was focused on Feng Renliang, who had scored the goal!

Everyone on the field, including Lippi on the sidelines, looked at Su Hao, who had already rushed to the edge of Team A's penalty area, with some astonishment.

Defensive midfielder!

It was created in the 30s.

At that time, the Italian team used the WM formation, in which the midfielder needed to take on both defensive and offensive organization responsibilities.

They had to drop back to assist the defense when defending, and also supply ammunition to the forwards when attacking. This was the earliest prototype of the defensive midfield position.

Later, with the continuous development of football tactics, in the 1960s, when the Brazilian team adopted the 4-2-4 formation, players like Didi emerged.

He plays in a deeper midfield position, responsible for controlling the tempo of the game. He organizes the team's attack through precise passing and actively participates in defense, playing a crucial role as a shield. This is an important stage in the gradual formation of the defensive midfield position.

In the late 1980s and 1990s, the Italian chain defense system became popular, in which teams paid more attention to the layering and overall cohesion of defense.

It was from this era that top-class defensive midfielders like Gattuso and even deep-lying Pirlo became sought-after by all teams.

Back then, top coaches were even willing to sell their top strikers for a dream midfielder!

And among them happens to be the one standing on the sidelines right now—the Silver Fox, Marcello Lippi!

Perfect early interception, exceptional vision with a strong overall perspective, solid fundamentals surpassing all other Chinese players on the field, and... and that most mesmerizingly beautiful arc.

This moment!

Although it was just a simple assist, the old man saw the shadows of two people in that black-haired boy.

Gattuso?
Pirlo?
Or perhaps a combination of the two?

Unbeknownst to him, Lippi's heart, which had been calm and collected for some time, suddenly began to beat rapidly again.

This...this guy.
And this guy is only 16 years old!!! He's won the Champions League and the World Cup. With those two titles, he's already satisfied!

However, people are afraid of getting old, afraid of losing all passion when they get old.

He came to Evergrande for the money, but if he can win the AFC Champions League, he can lead the team to compete in the Club World Cup.

The old man suddenly had an extremely fanatical idea.

If he can lead such a team to win the Club World Cup?
That.
Of course, this series of thoughts only flashed through the old man's mind for a second!

After recovering, the old man began to give Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, who had just lost their positions, a barrage of Italian-style reprimands.

As for Su Hao?

After making such an assist, the substitutes from Team B naturally started ruffling Su Hao's hair with smiles on their faces.

"Holy crap, Xiao Hao, that was awesome! That slam of your butt almost knocked Muriqui off the pitch!"

Qin Sheng was as talkative as ever.

Feng Renliang, who received Su Hao's wonderful message, was not usually very talkative.

He simply jogged up to Su Hao, gave him a high-five, and casually added, "That was a really good pass!"

1: 0!

Team B had a dream start.

After being scolded by the old man, Team A naturally began to really put in their best effort.

From that moment on, Su Hao witnessed just how formidable Guangzhou Evergrande was, a team that had dominated the entire Asian region.

Every breakthrough completely throws B team's defense into chaos.

After several attempts on the left flank, Team A started focusing on the right flank.

Although Elkeson wasn't as fast as Muriqui, he was still at his peak and could use his samba-style skills to make life difficult for the B team's wing defenders.

1: 1!

1: 2!

In just five or six minutes, Team A, once they got serious, completed the comeback.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, the wing attacks had already been practiced.

The old man then waved his hand and pointed towards the middle lane.

Upon making this gesture, Zheng Zhi, who had originally intended to move the ball to the wing, immediately understood and passed the ball directly to the soul of Guangzhou Evergrande in front of him—Dario Conca!
Penetrate through the middle!
As for Team B...

Having earned his teammates' trust with a rainbow kick, Su Hao lowered his center of gravity and took the initiative to meet Dario Conca, who was taking small, quick steps.

Su Hao still didn't know what level the panel was at.

But
However, from his solo victory over Zhang Linpeng to his various battles with the Evergrande team in the last few minutes...

Su Hao was absolutely certain!
That panel full of question marks—those attribute values ​​full of question marks aren't weak!
At least in the Chinese Super League, and in Asia!
absolute!
Absolutely not weak!!!
