Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 137

"Shenhua's goal is really beautiful. From the counterattack to the offensive and defensive transition of the shot, whether it is speed or coordination, everything looks so perfect. Especially Demba Ba's emergency stop pass is very just right. Such a goal looks It has a pleasing aesthetic feeling." Tang Hui was full of praise for Shenhua's goal.

"Shenhua's goal is really nothing to say. At that time, Yan Feng had already caught up, and it was resolved invisible by Demba Ba's stop and pass. High-level foreign aid is different. If it is an ordinary domestic player, it is likely to be hard. Chong. With Yan Feng's speed, there is a great possibility that he will lose the opportunity to shoot." Zhou Yun also had to admire Demba Ba's handling of the ball.

Demba Ba's handling of the ball this time is really beautiful.Yan Feng looked at this tall and thin foreign aid, and also admitted in his heart that the opponent's level was superb.Based on his experience in the Chinese League One, few domestic forwards can respond so calmly, and he himself has destroyed such opportunities for opponents more than once.

The team fell behind, and was hit by the opponent when everyone raised their hearts to make the opponent look good.This dealt a big blow to R&F's morale.After the re-kick-off, R&F tried to attack, but because of fear of being counterattacked by the opponent again, he kicked a little timidly.This attack ended with a non-threatening long-range shot.

Conversely, Shenhua's offense is different.Just ahead of the opponent, Shenhua was very excited and wanted to take advantage of the victory.Shenhua's offense played very calmly and confidently, passing and controlling quickly, and gradually suppressed R&F within the half-court.

Shenhua's Moreno and other midfielders took turns to attack the center, but under the desperate defense of Yan Feng and Lu Lin, no effect was achieved.Seeing that the middle road was not working, Shenhua shifted the offense to the side road again.Both Gualin and Cao Yunding on the wing were very active, and Cao Yunding was the most active among them.Cao Yunding, who just scored a goal, kept dribbling the ball to hit R&F's wing, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and the success rate was quite high.Tang Miao, who had just come back from injury, gradually couldn't stand it anymore. Cao Yunding passed the ball many times, posing a great threat to the goal.

The situation on the court was not good, and the suppressed R&F had almost no power to fight back.This made Stojkovic on the sidelines a little anxious.

"Press out, go to the midfield to compete with the opponent." Stojkovic shouted anxiously from the sidelines, and the translator around him kept imitating his appearance and yelling in Chinese on the court.It's a pity that the translator doesn't have that momentum, and the roar looks a bit funny.

"Svensson, raise your position, don't play five backs." The team is already behind, and they are still under pressure, and it seems likely that they will concede again.Stojkovic had to abandon the formation of five at the back, changing the formation from 541 to 4231 (451).

Svensson switched to playing as a defensive midfielder, which relieved Yan Feng's defensive pressure a lot, and at the same time he could safely support to the side.On the front line, Xiao Zhi's threat has doubled because of the support of Lu Lin, Bruninho and Reinaldio.

They say offense is the best defense.In this way, R&F's midfield strength has increased after the change, and the offense has also been strengthened.The defensive pressure on Shenhua also increased correspondingly, which made Qin Sheng and Lu Zheng dare not press forward unscrupulously.On the contrary, this limits Shenhua's offense very well.At the same time, the most important thing is to liberate Yan Feng, so that he can start to use his characteristics of strong running and sweeping range in the midfield.

Gradually, R&F not only withstood Shenhua's attack, but also pushed the opponent into the midfield to fight.For a time, the midfielder could be said to be on his back, and the confrontation was unprecedentedly fierce.

R&F, which finally stabilized its position, also began to attack Shenhua's goal.However, Qin Sheng's protection in the middle is very stable, coupled with Li Jianbin's murderous defense on the back line, R&F really can't break through Shenhua's defense.

The game time in the first half became less and less. In the end, the impatient Yan Feng rushed forward to participate in the attack, but it didn't work.The game was over soon, and R&F walked into the locker room with the result of being behind by one goal.

In the first half, R&F played very hard.Even if an offensive was launched for a period of time in the final stage, it was impossible to break through Shenhua's defense line.Faced with this situation, Yan Feng felt powerless.He believes that if there is no change in the second half, there is no possibility of getting out of this game.

At the same time, Yan Feng was also thinking about his performance in the first half.Regarding the performance in the first half, to be honest, he himself was very dissatisfied.Not to mention that Guarin and Moreno broke through once in a row. Although he was not easily passed by his opponent, he was very difficult to defend.Many times, Yan Feng relied on his own reaction and explosive power to let his opponent lose the opportunity.

Why is it so hard for me to defend myself today?Yan Feng thought to himself.Although the opponent's strength is very strong on the one hand, but on the other hand, he must also have some shortcomings.

Did you stretch your feet easily?
No.Yan Feng didn't grab many times today, and he didn't make a move easily.

Is it because you are in a bad state?
How can it be?Yan Feng thinks he can kill a tiger?
But why is it so tiring?so uncomfortable?
uncomfortable?Wait, I seem to have thought of something.

Yan Feng began to recall the situation when facing Moreno and others in the first half.The opponents Yan Feng met today not only have good foot skills, but also have a good grasp of direction and rhythm, which often makes Yan Feng a beat slower, which is very uncomfortable.

Why do you always feel a beat slower?Always feel bad?Is it my position?
No problem.In the game, I basically stand with my feet one in front and one behind, that's right.

In professional games, defenders generally do not stand with their feet parallel, but one in front of the other.When Yan Feng played wild ball in the past, the defense always liked to stand with his feet parallel to the front.And this wrong position was changed after entering the professional team.

Yan Feng kept thinking about it, and soon he discovered the problem. Whether the opponent broke through or got rid of it, they basically chose the direction of his front foot.And in the previous games, what I felt more uncomfortable was basically this situation.

That's it.It turned out that this was what made me uncomfortable.

Yan Feng thought for a while, and finally understood why.Standing with your feet one behind the other is equivalent to facing your opponent sideways. (This situation is most obvious in full-back defense.) For example, if your right foot is in front, that is your left side. The left side is the strong defensive side, and the center of gravity is also here.If the opponent chooses to break through in this direction, then the range of turning around is very small and can be started very quickly.The best result for the opponent is to fight with himself for speed.On the other hand, because the right foot is in front, the right side becomes the weak side.If the opponent chooses to break through on the right, it will take more time for him to turn around and start at the same time, which will give the opponent more opportunities.

Think about it the other way around, if you become an attacker.If you want to break through or change direction to get rid of the defense, the best direction to choose is the direction of the opponent's front foot.When the left foot is in front, it will protrude to the left, and when the right foot is in front, it will protrude to the right.

Haha, it turned out to be like this.Then I have to pay more attention next time.

After Yan Feng figured this out, he felt that defense seemed more interesting.At the same time, I also understand why the full-back always faces the opponent sideways.Because that is to defend against the bottom and put it in the middle, and there are partners in the middle to help defend.When the opponent cuts in the middle, he will meet a teammate who is helping to defend, and when he hits the bottom, he will be turned into fighting for speed and body with the defender.

Although he understood the most likely direction of the opponent's attack, Yan Feng felt that even if he understood, he still couldn't change his uncomfortable situation.After all, the initiative is always in the hands of the attacker, and the defender is naturally passive.

So is there any way to change it?Or can try to make up for this weakness?

Yan Feng thought hard, and finally thought of "Chinese Style". In the final theory of "Chinese style", there is a technique called blocking and intercepting the ball.

The core of blocking and blocking technology is pre-judgment (pre-designing the route by oneself and pre-judging the opponent's action).First of all, to be a defender, when stepping forward to defend, you must first scan the front, back, left, and right to form a situation in your mind.Write down the positions of your teammates and the positions of the two closest opponents' support points.In this way, you will know the choices that the ball holder can make next.

Secondly, if the opponent wants to pass the ball, there will be two routes in front to choose from.If the defender wants to steal the ball, he must give up a relatively comfortable and safe channel for the opponent. He can lightly lift the other foot to lure the opponent to pass the ball from this route, and then immediately use the other foot to block the pass. ball course.Since the defender pre-designed the opponent to pass the ball from this path, the chances of successfully blocking the ball will increase a lot.

If the defender only wants to keep an eye on the opponent and not give the opponent a chance to pass the ball comfortably, then he must use the best position to block the opponent's most comfortable and safe way of passing the ball.In this way, the opponent can not find a good pass point, or can only pass the ball to teammates who are relatively difficult to get the ball.

Finally, the technique of blocking and intercepting the ball is mainly applicable to the midfield. It is best for players on the back line not to try to steal the ball.Because it is possible that the opponent will break through successfully, which will bring a great threat to the goal.

Recalling the blocking and intercepting technique in "Chinese Style", combined with the front and rear foot positions that he had just thought of, Yan Feng found that he was more aware of defense.

It turns out that this is playing football with your brain.Ha ha!
The more Yan Feng thought about it, the more comfortable he felt, and he was no longer depressed about the fact that the team fell behind.After thinking about it, Yan Feng finally laughed out loud. "hey-hey!"

"Huh? Yan Feng, what are you laughing at?"

"Ah!" Only then did Yan Feng realize that his teammates and head coach Stojkovic were looking at him suspiciously.And it was Lao Si who asked the question just now, and the translator was asking Yan Feng in Chinese.I'm going, this is miserable.Just thought too much.

"Uh, coach, I think what you said just now is very good. Under your leadership, I have full confidence in the team's recovery and even victory in the second half." To avoid embarrassment, Yan Feng made a nonsense.

"Well, you just need to be confident. Get ready now, the second half is about to start." Stojkovic nodded and didn't pursue further, then he turned his head and said to all the players.

"Yes. Coach," everyone replied.

"Phew, it's finally over. Fortunately, Lao Si didn't continue to ask, otherwise he would be miserable. By the way, what tactical arrangements did the coach say just now?" Yan Feng was relieved first, and muttered in a low voice .After that, I realized that I had thought too much just now, and I didn't hear the coach's arrangement for the second half at all.I'm going, this is troublesome.

"Hehe, Xiao Fengzi, it seems that you are very confident. The midfield defense in the second half depends on you. I really want to help the team score goals." Lu Lin, who was sitting beside her, put her arms around Yan Feng's shoulders and smiled. speak.

"Yeah. It is necessary. In the second half, you can rest assured about my defense. I will never let the opponent pass in the middle. Even if the ball passes, people must stay for me. Brother Lin, you can rest assured to go up and attack. I contracted the field in the middle of the midfield." Yan Feng said to Lu Lin confidently.This meeting he really has confidence, not to put it nicely.After just understanding some of the true meaning of defense, Yan Feng believes that his defensive performance in the second half will definitely be better.

With blocking and interception skills, coupled with his own strength and speed.In the land of midfield, who else is the opponent?
Yan Feng proudly followed his teammates out of the locker room and returned to the field.

The second half continued, neither side adjusted their formation.The difference from the beginning of the first half is that both sides now use a 4231 formation, which has become a competition for players and tactical coordination in various positions.Although R&F's individual personnel in various positions are at a disadvantage, Lao Si believes that the passing and cutting cooperation of his players will be smoother.After Lao Si took over R&F, he has been committed to creating a style of fast movement and pass control.

Then why did Lao Si choose the 541 formation at the beginning of the first half?The main reason is that Lao Si considered that many R&F players in corresponding positions are weaker than their opponents and have no advantage in attacking.So he chose to let the players defend first, and after exhausting the strength of the opponent's main force, he would attack aggressively at 70 minutes.In that way, R&F will definitely gain an advantage.

And Wang Song's injury ended, disrupting Lao Si's deployment.In the end, the team was successfully counterattacked by Shenhua.Now that the team has fallen behind, it is meaningless to stick to it.

"The second half has begun, and R&F no longer plays 5 defenders. It seems that they are behind and have decided to strengthen their offense." Tang Hui said.

"Well. In fact, in the last ten or so minutes of the first half, R&F had already changed their formation." Zhou Yun said.

"I'm not very optimistic about R&F adopting the same 4231 formation as Shenhua in the second half. R&F's players in all positions are at a disadvantage, especially the midfielder. In terms of midfielders, R&F is far behind in terms of fame and strength. Yes. And Shenhua’s midfield is more balanced in offense and defense, while R&F’s midfield is stronger in offense than defense. In this competition for control of the midfield, R&F will suffer a lot.” Tang Hui began to talk eloquently.

"Well. However, it seems that Yan Feng of R&F has started to exert strength in the midfield. Why do I feel that he seems to be a little different from the first half now." Zhou Yun said with some surprise.

"Huh? Let me see."

That's right, as Zhou Yun said, Yan Feng started to exert his strength in the second half.
