Chapter 175: Peak Duel (3)
In the first minute of the game, Li Yanfeng was interrupted by a foul in the backcourt of the Ben Cheng team. Li Yanfeng and Ning Hongsheng both knew that this was just a dismount before the game, and such an action was more of a message to Ning Hongsheng.
It's not going to be as easy as it was before because even if you foul you, I'm going to stop you.
Ning Hongsheng understood what Li Yanfeng meant, but he didn't feel the slightest bit frightened. You're not the first to foul and won't be the last, but they're all eliminated now.
After Ben Cheng took a free kick, the game resumed. The Ben Cheng team did not show any strength and urgency, and the free kick was also in the backfield, too far away, and there was not much threat to the Dagang team.
Ning Hongsheng took a free kick, but it was just a short pass back to the midfield, and then the Ben Cheng team began to make a continuous inversion between the midfield and the back.
When the central midfield was down, the two central defenders were also included in the passing system, five players, an X-shaped group, and the football was passed quickly at the feet of five people.
Because all the passes were completed in the middle and back of the Ben Cheng team, and the only central players of the Dagang team who rushed into the Ben Cheng team's half were Gong Chang and Li Yanfeng.
The two of them had no way to deal with the five passes of the Bincheng team, and once the two wingers showed that they wanted to receive the middle to participate in the pressing, when Ning Hongsheng passed the ball to the wingback, the two wingers had to return to the wing.
Ning Hongsheng alone is the center of the transmission, without the slightest fancy, just a series of short passes that are extremely bland. But it was this kind of passing that seemed to be something that anyone could do, which directly suppressed and mobilized the four players of the Dagang team.
The game had just begun, and the Ben Cheng team was not in a hurry at all, but more in the rhythm of the game. The Bincheng team is not in a hurry, and the Dagang team will naturally not be in a hurry. Before Chen Xiaojian made adjustments, the double back of the Dagang team did not have the slightest idea of wanting to press.
The Ben Cheng team pursues the control of football, although the players of the Ben Cheng team have a certain advantage in height and can play high football, but such an advantage is only for high school students.
Just saying that the absolute height of the Ben Cheng players is not very tall, which means that the Ben Cheng team is fully capable of playing small and fast football. In addition, the Bencheng team does not lack a height advantage in the high school league, so there are no obvious shortcomings.
If this group of players is of this height, then their height will be a weakness when playing against even the college team.
If they're taller, then they won't be able to do a series of smooth short passes.
Therefore, this group of players with sufficient height and excellent skills is the reason why the Ben Cheng team can ride the wind. There is no lack of skill at the feet, no physical confrontation, and no fear of high balls.
In such an era, in such a high school league, in the face of any opponent, the Ben Cheng team has no obvious shortcomings, but it has a good advantage.
In such a situation, Ben Cheng chose the tactic that made the opponent the most uncomfortable. In the end, there are only two words, control, control of the ball.
From the beginning of the game to the present, the Dagang team has hardly touched a football.
In other words, if there are comprehensive and professional statistics in this game, the pass-to-control ratio between the two sides at this time is almost 0 to 100.
It is precisely because of the tactics of the Bincheng team that Chen Xiaojian feels that this Bincheng team is very similar to the red and blue army that spans the continent.
When the Bincheng team chooses to control the football, then as the opponent, Chen Xiaojian can only choose to control the space. This is also the reason why even though the four players in the front court are running hard, Chen Xiaojian still did not let Song Yingjie and them plug in.
What the Dagang team wanted after the opening was obviously the control of space, and the whole team had three defensive lines.
The first line of defense is the pressing of the four players in the frontcourt, the second is the wall of the middle of the two midfielders, and the last is the defense of the back four.
The three lines are kept compact with each other, controlling a certain spatial distance. Control the space and let go of the ball, as long as the Ben City team does not enter the 30-meter danger zone of their own half, then let him control the ball.
Such meaningless ball control has no effect in Chen Xiaojian's opinion.
The two teams, one in possession and the other in space, formed a parity on the field. The performances of both teams have almost made themselves invincible.
The possession of the ball by the Bencheng team made the Dagang team unable to get the ball, and without the ball, it was naturally impossible to have the opportunity to attack. The Ben Cheng team is naturally undefeated.
On the other hand, the Dagang team controls the space, and once the Bincheng team enters the 30-meter range of the Dagang team, then there is a wall in front of them.
Suffocating the defense and breaking the dense defense has always been a world-class problem. In any match, no team wants to encounter a dense defense from the opposite side.
In official matches, it is not uncommon to have dozens of shots on goal and zero goals. And once the attack fails, then it means that you have to withstand the opponent's counterattack. And with each failure, the attacking team becomes more impatient.
When the attacking team can't control their emotions, the defending team's chance comes. It only takes one chance, a sword to seal the throat.
In the 04 European Cup, Greece officially reached the final with its tenacious defense and sharp counterattack. And defeated the host Portugal in the final to win the championship, erecting a monument to Greek mythology.
Looking back now, the Dagang team also has the shadow of the original Greek team, with a steady defense, sharp counterattacks, a team that no one is optimistic about except themselves, and they have all the way to the final.
The match between Dagang and Bincheng can also be seen as a duel between utilitarian football and offensive football.
Chen Xiaojian put forward the slogan of winning the championship at the beginning of the team's establishment, and contrary to the Dagang team, the Bincheng team has been carrying the banner of offensive football throughout the series, no matter who the opponent is, cutting melons and vegetables all the way.
Among the opponents who lost to the Dagang team, many teams will feel that they are unlucky, because the Dagang team has too many one-goal leading victories on the way to victory. In the face of the Ben Cheng team, even the opponent had to be convinced, and the victory of two or three goals made people have no excuse at all, only to dump.
Of course, this is only temporary. If the two teams can really go on like this, then there is no point in this game and it will be enough to go straight to the penalty shoot-out. The coaches and players of both sides will also be able to rest.
When seeing the opponent's formation and tactics, although the head coaches of both sides, Chen Xiaojian and Lin Zize, showed heaviness, this was only an expected escalation of the difficulty of the game, and it was far from the so-called despair.
