Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 103 "FIFA Virus" Invasion

Wen Zhihao rushed back to Arnhem that day after finishing the filming of the promotional video. In one night, he fully relieved his physical fatigue.Return to training the next day.

Through these two Europa League games, Fraser realized that Wen Zhihao's weak defense would bring some hidden dangers to the team.It's not obvious in the league, but when it comes to the European arena with stronger confrontation and faster transition, the usually inconspicuous shortcomings will have a fatal impact.The two conceded goals against Manchester United at home can already explain a lot of problems.

In fact, Fraser is still very confident in Wen Zhihao's strengthening of the defensive end.Players who are quite creative on the offensive end are often more likely to guess the offensive intentions of opposing players when defending.

At the end of the two international match days, the players of the national team returned to the club one after another. It is reasonable to say that Fraser should breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time he was rather worried, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The club found him yesterday and showed him three faxes, from the Dutch national team, the Georgia national team and the US national team.

The theme is also surprisingly the same: Injury briefings.

When Fraser got the three faxes, his heart ached.The three injured are the absolute main force of the team, Van Beek, Kashiya and Miazga.Van Beek, who is at the lightest level, will be absent for about a month, while Miazga was accidentally injured with a serious decline in physical fitness and no confrontation. The exact length of the injury needs to be further evaluated and confirmed.

Before these two international match days, Fraser has realized that the team may encounter the "FIFA virus". He has already planned to promote several players to the reserve team and youth team to deal with the next league and make appropriate rotations for the lineup.

But when he held these injury reports in his hand, he hesitated a little, or at a loss.Several main players were injured at the same time, which almost caused the team's entire main defense system to collapse. No matter how courageous he is, he would not dare to let a group of reserve team children sit in the team's defense in the next real league.

Not everyone's name is Wen Zhihao.

The defense was in a hurry, Fraser thought of a lot of adjustment measures, trying to minimize this impact.

The two central defenders Miazga and Van Beek were injured. Last season's main player Kruswijk and the first substitute Van der Werf can temporarily top; captain Kashiya is injured, and Japanese defender Kosuke Ota can be a substitute at left back.Although he has little chance to play this season, and his contract will expire next summer, he also has the idea of ​​leaving the Netherlands, but now the team is facing personnel difficulties, and Fraser is forced to reactivate him.

The problem seems to have been solved for the time being, but Fraser is still worried. This defensive line has very few chances to play this year, and it can only be seen on the court to see how well it can perform.

……

After the international match day, all players returned one after another.The first thing Wen Zhihao saw was Zhang Yuning, but he found that Zhang Yuning was not in the right mood, so he walked over and put on a smile on purpose, and raised his voice to say hello: "Brother Yuning!"

Zhang Yuning's eyes flashed with joy when he heard the familiar voice.He nodded slightly at Wen Zhihao.

The past two national team match days have been a nightmare experience for him.In the third round of the Top 0 match, the Chinese team turned the boat at home. They were upset by Syria 1:[-]. They gave away the three points they had hoped to win. In the away game against Uzbekistan, the Central Asian wolf, they were defeated by two goals without any suspense. One foot was already on the edge of the cliff.

Zhang Yuning felt powerless in these two games. Either he couldn't get support from his teammates on the offensive end, or he was almost besieged by his opponents. As a forward, he had to do the job of a defender, which was quite awkward.

The national team played like this, and the fans naturally wanted to vent.After the home defeat to Syria, the Chinese fans spontaneously shouted in unison: "Football Association! We need Wen Zhihao!"

Of course, Zhang Yuning didn't mention this to Wen Zhihao.He knew it was useless to say it.Now Wen Zhihao has completely broken with the Football Association, and there is no possibility of returning in a short period of time, so it is useless to say more.

In the next round, Waiters will go away to challenge the strong team Alkmaar.Fraser took the time to find out about the three wounded.Kashiya and Van Beek are fine, just a slight muscle strain, and will only miss the last three weeks of games at most.Miazga, on the other hand, has a recurrence of an old injury and is expected to be unable to play for at least two and a half months.

Fraser could only accept that the team was temporarily short of major generals, and rushed to the away game with a set of remnants.

Although Alkmaar's strength cannot be compared with the traditional top three, it must not be underestimated. In the 2008-09 season, Alkmaar beat the top three in the Eredivisie, which shows its strength.Before Waiters took the lead this season, Alkmaar had always been regarded as the biggest spoiler in the Eredivisie.

Facing a strong opponent in the away game, the lineup is not the strongest, but Fraser never thought of using the back-and-forth tactics. Instead, he chose 4-4-2 in the formation, which showed that he did not give up the attack.

In fact, this is also no way.Fraser can't really feel at ease with this defense that was ordered to build in the face of danger. He can only hope that the offensive players in front will be fully released.To put it bluntly, it is to strive to score one more goal than the opponent.

Wen Zhihao was entrusted with an important task today. Although he appeared as a midfielder on the right from the position, Fraser gave him instructions to be a free man in the frontcourt and was granted unlimited fire rights.In Fraser's own words: "You can attack anywhere, any way you choose."

Perhaps because of the belief that the underdogs will win, Waiters turned against the guest as soon as he came up, and his intention to grab the start was very obvious.And Wen Zhihao was indeed flourishing in the opponent's half, either by forcefully attacking the opponent's defender from the side, or coming to the front midfielder to send shells to the front double forwards Fan Xiaolang and Castaigno.Or just raising your leg is a long shot to test the opponent's goalkeeper.

A series of attacks at the beginning made Alkmaar jittery in front of the goal. Waiters hit a crit again and again, and finally seized an opportunity.Wen Zhihao made a cross from the side, and Fan Xiaolang grasped the timing of grabbing the point accurately. Before the opponent's goalkeeper hit the ball, he used a lion toss his head and smashed the ball into the empty goal. Waiters scored first in 6 minutes.

Fraser breathed a sigh of relief, the start had the upper hand, and the players should be able to relax slowly.

But he didn't expect that it was everyone's relaxation that caused the team to have big problems.

Kosuke Ota, who had been absent for a long time, couldn't find the feeling of last season's game on the left side. He was directly passed by Alkmaar's Swedish forward Tankovic twice. What's worse was that due to these two defensive mistakes, Ota's mentality changed. He received two yellow cards within 10 minutes and was directly asked to leave the field by the referee.

This sudden change caught Fraser off guard, subconsciously looked back at the bench, and smiled wryly at the first glance.

Except for a player who was promoted from the youth team on his own initiative, no one is qualified for this position.Fraser must either send in this freshman who has no first-team experience at all, or there is really no one to replace him right now.
