Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 124 Scary Speed ​​of Progress
After all the matches against Yanbian Fude, the Guangzhou R&F team did not fly back to Guangzhou, but went directly to Shanghai.Then began to prepare for the fifth round of the Chinese Super League against Shanghai SIPG.

The Shanghai SIPG team can be said to be the favorite team to compete for the Super League this year, and they are very strong.Especially after the introduction of Guangzhou Evergrande's powerful forward 'Little Bear' Elkeson this year, his offensive ability has become stronger.Moreover, there are several international players such as Wu Lei and Yu Hai in the team, plus the former "King of Celestial Body" Kongka, it is definitely a formidable strong team.

The Shanghai SIPG team is one of the main competitors of the Guangzhou R&F team this year.And such a strong team, whoever faces it will feel the pressure.Because of the importance of this game and the strength of the opponent, Stojkovic did not give Yan Feng a chance again.

After the match against the Yanbian Fude reserve team, Xie Yuxin suggested to Stojkovic that Yan Feng could be given a chance to try.In this regard, Stojkovic also nodded at the time.But when facing Shanghai SIPG, he still did not choose Yan Feng in the end, and gave the place to others again.

As for this matter, Yan Feng didn't know, so his mentality was much calmer.After Xin Yuxin's point after the last game, Yan Feng has completely let go of his knot.His current goal is to improve his abilities in all aspects first, and strive to gradually enter the game after the second half of the season.

This time, Yan Feng didn't react much to being excluded from the big list again.This allowed him to sit in the stands and watch this fierce game with a good attitude.

The game eventually ended in the loss of the Guangzhou R&F team. 'Bear' Elkeson scored the only goal of the game.For Little Bear, Yan Feng personally likes it very much.Cub is in good health, fast, skilled, dedicated and self-disciplined.The Cubs also helped Guangzhou Evergrande win the AFC Champions League last year.I believe that few people who watch the game will dislike a player like this.If it weren't for the fact that the team was an opponent, Yan Feng would have rushed down to find the Cubs to take a photo and sign.

In this game, other people also aroused Yan Feng's great interest.For example, Wu Lei, the domestic forward who is known as the king of martial arts, Yan Feng also pays great attention to his performance on the court.Yan Feng used what he had learned to observe Wu Lei and found that he was indeed different from other domestic players.Not only is he fast, but his skills are also very good, and his level of ball control and shooting skills are among the top in the country.What Wu Lei most attracted Yan Feng's attention was his movement awareness, which was erratic, accurate and very level.By observing Wu Lei's running position, Yan Feng learned a lot.

On the SIPG side, there is also a domestic player who plays the midfielder, which caught Yan Feng's attention.It's not Yu Hai, who changed his midfielder in SIPG, but Cai Huikang, a current international player.Cai Huikang's position is the same as Yan Feng's midfielder, and the style is very similar.Also as a defensive midfielder, Cai Huikang has a very strong body and strength. He has a strong frontal interception ability, but his skills and passing ability are relatively average.

Yan Feng compared himself with Cai Huikang, and found that the characteristics are really very similar.In comparison, in fact, I still have some advantages, that is, I have better speed and physical fitness, and the inferior place is the competition experience.These discoveries made Yan Feng full of confidence in his future. "It seems that I am not far away from my dream of becoming a member of the national team."

And in this game, what Yan Feng paid most attention to was not the scoring bear, nor the martial arts king or Cai Huikang, but the former "celestial body king" Kongka.

During the game, Yan Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that many of Kongka's performances were very consistent with the time-space application and staggered defense zones mentioned in "Chinese Style".

Everyone knows that Kongka's physical fitness is actually very average.He's not tall enough, not strong enough, not quick enough, but he has a very good footwork and brains.

Yan Feng found that Kongka really played very smartly.In the face of the defense, Conca rarely directly seeks to break through.It is often created by pulling the ball first and retreating, enough space.In this way, if the opponent does not move, he can easily pass the ball or cross the belt; if the opponent also moves forward, he can use the change of rhythm to easily break through.

And when Konka came to the front of the penalty area, he generally would not choose to break through or pass diagonally directly when he took the ball.Instead, they tend to cross the sides first and pull out the space before passing the through ball. Such a pass can often pass a very threatening ball.

This is completely in line with the time and space concept of bypassing the defense zone mentioned in "Chinese Style".Yan Feng has to sigh that high-level foreign players are not necessarily playing football.Not only does he know how to play on the court, but he also has enough skillful footwork to support him.

"This is playing football with your brain. No wonder he can lead the Guangzhou Evergrande team to win the AFC Champions League and become the 'King of Celestial Body' with his physical condition. It seems that I think I should use my brain as much as he does when playing football." Just do it." Yan Feng saw from Kongka that he needs to advance in the future.He doesn't want to be just a defensive player, he also wants to be more comprehensive and stronger.

Regarding Kongka, Yan Feng was also thinking about how he should defend him.In this game, neither Svensson nor Wang Song could restrain Kongka.What should I do to prevent Kongka?

In the end, Yan Feng's answer was just like keeping a close eye on people in a basketball game.Use your own speed and physical strength, coupled with your dominant strength, and then stick to Kongka like a dog's skin plaster.No matter where he ran, he followed wherever he went, making it impossible for Kongka to get the ball easily.At the same time, it is necessary to constantly compete with physical strength, which consumes Kongka's physical energy and energy.Kongka is the brain of the Shanghai SIPG team. If he is restricted, the SIPG team will become no threat.

In fact, R&F coach Stojkovic also thought so, but none of the people he sent could do this.Svensson, who has average speed and is not flexible enough, can't do it, and Wang Song, who is not physically fit, can't do it.

After watching the main game, in the second day's reserve team game.Yan Feng actually learned how Kongka played on the field.As soon as he had the opportunity, he tried to pull the crossbar out of the air and then pass a through ball.Not to mention, it allowed him to pass a good through ball or two.It's just that his passing strength is not controlled as freely and properly as Conca.Even so, it can be regarded as creating a big threat.

In this reserve game, Yan Feng did not play as desperately and crazy as he did against Yanbian.This time he played more calmly.Although it is not so scary, the defensive strength has not dropped much.And when he went up to the front of the penalty area, facing the solid defense line, Yan Feng first took a few steps across to force the opponent to reveal a little space, and then shot and scored.

Yan Feng is very satisfied with his own performance in this game.Satisfied that some of his ideas were proven and practiced.

As the coach of this reserve team game, Xie Yuxin was not only satisfied, but frightened.

"Isn't this too scary? It's only been a week. The little lunatic seems to be making progress again."

"This time I didn't play so desperately, but this defense still makes the opponent breathless. What is even more surprising is that he actually started to try to organize? And he really made a few good threats. Come on the ball!"

"Hasn't this kid always been able to crush people with his body? Now that this guy has started to organize in the midfield again, will this make other people live?"
