Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 187
For Jiangsu Suning, this game is very important, let alone the two teams are direct opponents for the AFC Champions League.And if Guangzhou R&F still wants to compete with Guangzhou Evergrande for the Chinese Super League championship this year, it must compete every game.At present, R&F is still six points behind Evergrande in terms of points, and as long as they lose one game, they may no longer be able to keep up.

Yan Feng was very disappointed that he could not play in such an important game.While feeling aggrieved, Yan Feng couldn't blame the team.Who told him to have this incident and affect his status?To blame, Yan Feng can only blame the mastermind behind this matter.

As for the black man behind the scenes, Yan Feng knows who it is, but he has nothing to do with his opponent now.He can't go to Shenzhen again, secretly destroy the other party or sink into the sea, right?As a professional player, you can't do anything illegal.

"I can only pray that this will pass quickly." Apart from thinking this way, Yan Feng could only sit on the bench depressed and watch his teammates hold the entrance ceremony.

The game started quickly, and both sides played very intensely.Watching the players from both sides fighting back and forth, Yan Feng sat down and eagerly wanted to be replaced.

Especially seeing Suning's Teixeira galloping like no one in R&F's defense line, Yan Feng wished he could go up and stare at him right now.The last time they played against each other, Yan Feng still remembered that he was hit by Teixeira when he first dived into the field.Then he forced opponents to play hard with ferocious and difficult defense.That time, while restraining Teixeira, R&F had enough energy to attack and finally equalized the score.That time was also Yan Feng's debut in the Chinese Super League, so he has always been impressed.

When R&F and Suning played against each other again, the strengths of both sides changed a lot.After R&F introduced the 'King of the Ball' Zahavi, the offense is close to the strongest teams in the Chinese Super League.After Suning bought R. Martinez and Korean international defender Hong Zhenghao with a speed of about 11 seconds in the second transfer, both defensive and offensive strengths have improved a lot.In terms of offensive ability, it is comparable to Evergrande.

In this case, for the time being, the two sides will still play secret forces that are evenly matched.At least R&F's offense can still threaten Suning.

After playing stalemate for more than 20 minutes, Suning gradually gained the advantage.Yan Feng didn't play today. R&F is not inferior to the opponent in terms of offense, but the defense is much worse.With the increasing defensive pressure, R&F's offense was dragged down.

Suning began to gain an advantage on the scene, and as many as [-] to [-] fans shouted more excitedly: "One in. One in."

"Bang!" Teixeira took a shot after getting rid of Zhang Yaokun's defense. Poorly, he hit a bit straight, but Cheng Yuelei desperately blocked the goal.

"Teixeira, Teixeira." Suning fans shouted Teixeira's name, as if he could score a goal if he shouted a few more times.

"It's a pity. If it wasn't played too squarely, the ball would probably be there." Some fans felt that this was a bit regrettable.

"Yeah. It's just a little bit worse."

"But it's okay. I feel like we're going to score soon. Last time they drew at home and now we're back at home and we've got better players. We're going to win this game for sure. of."

"Win them and surpass them in score. Maybe, this season, we will have a chance to catch up with Evergrande. It would be great if we can win the Chinese Super League championship."

Unlike the relaxed and confident thoughts of the fans at the scene, R&F head coach Stokojvic was much more nervous at this time.

"Defense, man-to-man." Stojkovic kept shouting from the sidelines to remind the players to defend well.

The corner kick came out. Although R&F's players were fighting hard, they were still grabbed by Suning's players.Fortunately the ball was off the top.

"Huh~" Stojkovic, who was relieved, turned around and walked to the submerged seat, but he didn't take two steps, and he turned around and walked back to the original place feeling worried.Looking at the heavy look of his players on the field when they faced the defensive pressure, he shook his head, and couldn't help but look back at Yan Feng who was sitting in the bench.

"I didn't expect that Yan Feng's absence would reduce the defensive strength so much. Do you want to put him on the field?" Stojkovic thought at this time.Today he is lined up in a 532-5-[-] [-]-back formation, and Wang Song, who is substituting Yan Feng's position, is more comprehensive, but Wang Song, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, really makes him uneasy.

But thinking of the club's arrangements, Stojkovic could only shake his head.Yan Feng can sit in the supplementary seat today, but he decided on his own just in case.You know, what the club actually means is that Yan Feng will be suspended internally until the matter of Yan Feng is not investigated.

Yan Feng also noticed the head coach's gaze, and he thought with joy that Lao Si wanted to send him on the field.Who knew that Lao Si only saw this one glance, and didn't express anything after that.

Fortunately, in the next game, although R&F was at a disadvantage, the offensive team headed by Zahavi was able to frequently threaten the opponent's goal.As a result, Jiangsu Suning was unable to attack with all its strength, and thus tenaciously defended the first half of the game.

The first half ended with a 0:0 tie.Although a little unsatisfactory, the fact that he did not concede a goal made Stojkovic feel that a good arrangement in midfield should be able to change the team's temporary disadvantage.Because of this idea, Stojkovic dismissed the idea of ​​sending Yan Feng to play.He focused on encouraging today's starters and changing some tactics.

Not to mention, Stojkovic's arrangement still played a big role.Less than 10 minutes after the end of the second half, Zahavi got rid of the defense at the front of the penalty area and succeeded in a long shot from the far corner.

"1:0, R&F is ahead."

Many people did not expect that this would be the case at the beginning of the second half.

For the team's away lead, Stojkovic is very satisfied with his arrangement at halftime.It's a pity he wasn't happy for long.

Although this conceded goal was a bit of a blow to Jiangsu Suning, who were playing at home, it failed to defeat them.Encouraged by the captain and the coach, they not only did not lose their morale, but instead raised their determination to attack.After they attacked with all their strength, without Yan Feng's desperate efforts in the midfield, R&F's defense could not hold it.After leading for only 3 minutes, he was tied by Suning.It was Teixeira who scored the goal, and also shot after getting rid of the defense.

The two sides returned to the same starting line.Although this did not hit R&F's morale, after all, Suning's momentum has risen.Taking advantage of the momentum of this goal, Suning started a fierce attack.

The pressure on R&F's defense is increasing, and it looks like it will collapse at any time.If it weren't for offensive players such as Zahavi who could counterattack and threaten opponents from time to time, Suning would not dare to press with all his strength after tying.It is estimated that R&F's goal will be kicked into a sieve by Suning.

Being suppressed, R&F, whose defense was unstable, finally failed to hold it.In the 69th minute of the game, Suning scored again.This goal was scored by R. Martinez, who was passed to him after Teixeira broke through the Korean foreign aid Jang Hyun-soo.

"2:1, Suning overtook."

Suning's home court once again turned into a sea of ​​joy.

R&F, which was lagging behind, also gave up.Now it was their turn to launch the onslaught.Not to mention, the firepower of R&F's all-out attack is still very fierce.Especially led by a player like Zahavi who scored profusely, their offense still made Suning's defense, which is mainly based on domestic players, a little bit unable to withstand it.Although Suning had a strong defender like Hong happened to block Zahavi, other domestic players failed to guard R&F's other players under tension.In the end, in the 81st minute, Renaldinho used his personal ability to score an equalizer.

2:2, the two sides drew again.And this tie was maintained until the end of the game.

Although after the tie, Suning rose up to attack and thought of winning the home game.However, after the R&F players defended with all their strength in the end, they still failed to score again.

R&F tenaciously drew with Suning in the away game.For the R&F club, this is still acceptable.The one who was more depressed was Yan Feng.He ended up spending the game in the bench.In the next few substitutions, Yan Feng thought that Lao Si would replace him under defensive pressure.But he was not called when the last quota was exhausted.This made him very disappointed.

This also made him understand that the team might keep him on the bench until the black and gambling matter was investigated.It is estimated that this is the team's punishment for his alleged fight and not telling the team.

After thinking about this, Yan Feng had nothing to change except being depressed.Unable to think of a way, Yan Feng stopped thinking about it.He turned his attention to the game again.Although he didn't play, it was not without gains to watch carefully from the sidelines.

From the game, Yan Feng faintly felt that some circumstances had touched him.After the game, after careful reflection, Yan Feng understood what touched him, and his mood improved a lot because of it.

In fact, it was Teixeira who touched him the most in this game. His breakthrough made R&F's defenders exhausted.And Teixeira's breakthrough success rate is very high, which surprised Yan Feng very much.While being surprised, he also constantly analyzed Teixeira's excellence in his mind and matched them with the ideas in his mind one by one.In the end, Yan Feng found that Teixeira's extraordinary performance conformed to the optimal choice of internal ball control and direction (that is, the direction of the strength and weakness of the front and rear feet).

And when Yan Feng thought of his teammate Zahavi, he also found that Zahavi was in the same situation.In this way, Yan Feng firmly believed in his previous football concepts.

Although he thought so, Yan Feng still felt that today's touch should be more than these.Yan Feng began to recall constantly, scenes of offensive and defensive scenes of both sides flashed.But after images of successful breakthroughs overlapped one after another, Yan Feng finally knew what he was really touched by.

"It turns out that the method of choosing the direction of the front and rear feet that I thought of is wrong!"

That's right.Yan Feng finally found that the method of choosing the direction of the front and rear feet that he thought of before was unreliable.Why?Because in the game, the defender is often running, and his feet are constantly changing one after the other.In this situation, in a fierce game, which player can see clearly which foot is the real front and back?How to judge the center of gravity?

After discovering this fallacy, Yan Feng was not unhappy, but even happier.Because he discovered another simpler and more direct way to choose the direction of passing: the strong and weak lateral method.

Strength and weakness sideways method.The strong side is the direction of the defender's front, and the weak side is the direction of the air defense's back.Because in the game, the vast majority of air defenders do not have their feet parallel or face the offensive player head-on when facing the offense.Instead, the body is sideways.

Then when the defender faces the offensive player, the front of his body is the strong side. If he chooses this method to break through, it is easy to be cut off.Even if the first pass fails to block the ball, it will evolve into a fight for speed between the offense and defense.

The side with the defender's back facing is the defensive weak side.The attacker chooses this side to break through, and the defender not only does not have enough distance to stretch his feet, but also takes a long time to turn around, so it is difficult to match the speed of the attacker.In this way, the attacker will get a more favorable breakthrough advantage.

It's much easier to judge the strength and weakness of a defense by looking at an opponent's upper body than by looking at their feet.No matter how fierce the game is, as long as you take a look at your opponent, you will know which side is the strong side and which side is the weak side.

Choosing the weak side to break through may not be [-]% successful, but it has a greater advantage over the attacker when the abilities of the two sides are similar, and can increase the success rate of the attacker's breakthrough.Like in this game, Shetra all chose the weak side of the R&F defender to make a breakthrough.It's no wonder his breakthrough success rate is so high.

Thinking of the strong and weak side, Yan Feng is very happy.But what made him even more excited was that he finally fully understood the role and necessity of feints.

In Yan Feng's view, there are two functions of fake actions:

One, make fake moves to the strong side, so that the defender can maintain the current direction of the strong and weak side, so that he can break through from the weak side calmly.

Second, make fake moves to the weak side to change the direction of the opponent's strong and weak side, so that the weak side appears in the direction you want.This kind of situation is generally mainly on the side road, the opponent has someone to help defend, and the strong side is just on the sideline.This is equivalent to the fact that it is difficult to break through on the side, and there are people in the middle to help defend, which is also not an opportunity to break through.In this case, it is generally only possible to return the ball to a teammate.If you must break through, then it is best to use a fake move to swing to the weak side, and let the defender in front of you transfer the strong side to make the wing side become the weak side.Next, if you break through from the side, the success rate will be higher, and the opponent's help defenders can easily make up for it.

After thinking through these, Yan Feng's frustration of not being able to play disappeared.He suddenly wondered if he should thank the coach for allowing him to sit on the sidelines and watch the game?
If he was playing football on it today, in that fierce confrontational environment, he could still observe these things and think so much, then he estimated that he could compare his IQ with Einstein.

In the end, Yan Feng can only sigh with emotion: If there is a gain, there must be a loss, and if there is a loss, there is also a gain, and the loss and the gain are often intertwined.
