Chapter 5: The First Shot
With the referee's whistle, the game began. Chen Xiaojian's first game officially kicked off.
Chen Xiaojian arranged a defensive counterattack formation that had been decided a long time ago, 4-2-3-1. City Park is positioned in a more standard 4-4-2 formation.
After all, the 4-4-2 formation is more widely used, relatively easy to use, and belongs to the kind of formation that is easy to learn and difficult to master, which can be regarded as deeply loved by everyone. Of the ten amateur teams, it is estimated that eight of them are playing 4-4-2.
After the game began, the two forwards of the City Park team passed the ball to each other, and then passed the ball to the midfielder behind them, and the two forwards stepped forward at the same time and rushed to the heart of Chen Xiaojian's team.
Song Yingjie and they also rushed towards the City Park team at the same time, and the striker Gong Chang pressed all the way to the back line of the City Park team, suppressing the opponent's two central defenders, and not allowing them to move the defense line too forward.
Shen Si and Shi Xiaoyu pressed towards the two full-backs of the City Park team, trying to suppress the opponent's two wings.
Song Yingjie did not fix himself in the position of the back at this time, but rushed forward quickly, and together with Li Yanfeng, who played in the front midfield, he pressed the two central midfielders of the City Park team.
This is the tactic set by Chen Xiaojian, if the opposite side kicks off first, then in the first five minutes of the game, he will carry out a crazy frontcourt press, take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's unstable foothold, and strive to form a counterattack after breaking the ball.
Because of the forced robbery by Li Yanfeng, the midfielder of the City Park team was obviously unprepared, and after being forced to rob, he was suddenly a little scrambling, and there was a mistake in a pass, which was intercepted by Li Yanfeng.
After Li Yanfeng successfully intercepted, the opponent's left central midfielder immediately came over to defend Li Yanfeng, and at the same time stretched out his foot to reach the ball at Li Yanfeng's feet.
Not long after the game started, Li Yanfeng didn't want to take risks, so he didn't try to break through, but leaned over, squeezed his opponent, and then pushed the ball to Song Yingjie, who came to answer.
After Song Yingjie received the ball, he pulled it and brought the ball to the right horizontally. This move to the right immediately attracted the right midfielder to come and defend. After Li Yanfeng passed, he immediately got rid of the opponent's entanglement and ran diagonally to the middle.
The opposite left midfielder moved a beat slower, and it was too late for Li Yanfeng to mark Li Yanfeng after he got rid of himself, and Li Yanfeng had already run out of a vacant position.
As soon as Li Yanfeng arrived, Song Yingjie's pass also arrived, and Song Yingjie passed a half-high ball in order to avoid the opponent's defense.
Li Yanfeng saw that the speed of the incoming ball was relatively fast, and the half-high ball was not so easy to stop, and the opponent's left center midfielder had also rushed over. Li Yanfeng didn't have time to adjust, stretched out his right foot, and paddled under the ball, the ball did not land, but changed direction. And because of Li Yanfeng's pad, the ball became high and fast, but it still flew between the opponent's right fullback and right central defender.
Gong Chang has been moving between the two centre-backs, pressing the opposition while also waiting for an opportunity. At this time, when he saw Li Yanfeng's pass, he immediately chased in the direction of the ball. Because Li Yanfeng is a cushion pass that does not stop the ball directly, the direction is a little off.
Li Yanfeng didn't care if the ball was biased at this time, and immediately chased in the direction of the ball.
Li Yanfeng ran to the ball and unloaded the ball, and just about to make adjustments, the right central defender had already forced over and collided with Li Yanfeng. Li Yanfeng was hit, and his movements were immediately a little deformed, but there was still a little distance from the penalty area, if it was in the penalty area, Li Yanfeng would definitely lie down, but outside the penalty area, Li Yanfeng would not do this.
If Li Yanfeng fell to the ground at this time, it would be good to get a free kick, but if the referee thought it was a fake fall or normal defensive action, everyone would lose the ball that everyone had finally grabbed.
Li Yanfeng's movements were a little deformed, but he still barely protected the ball, and the right central defender saw that Li Yanfeng's movements were deformed, and immediately stretched out his feet to break Li Yanfeng's ball.
Li Yanfeng flicked the ball to the outside with his left foot, avoiding the foot stretched out by the right central defender, and no longer adjusted, took a step forward with his right foot, and swung his left leg, which was directly a volley from outside the penalty area.
Because Li Yanfeng's movements did not swing away, and it was a long-range shot with his left foot, his strength and speed were a little worse, and he was chased by the right fullback and blocked with his body.
Li Yanfeng's shot was Li Yanfeng's own first shot in the game, and it was also the first shot of the Dagang Middle School team.
Chen Xiaojian watched and clapped on the sidelines, indicating that the ball was played very well. This is what Chen Xiaojian has been practicing. Pressing in the opponent's half, after the press was successful, it only took three passes between three people to form a shot.
It's just that although the performance was not so perfect and he was not able to score, but from the handling of this ball, it can be seen that the things in training are still well mastered, so although the ball did not score, Chen Xiaojian was also very happy.
At this time, the City Park team on the field began to attack, and the right midfielder took the ball directly to Chen Xiaojian's side of the half.
Shen Si followed the other party closely, stuck in the position and did not let the other party cut inside. The right midfielder didn't have a chance to cut inside, so he dribbled the ball all the way, colliding with Shen Si from time to time, although he couldn't cut inside, but he was also leaning along a diagonal line to the middle.
As the right midfielder advanced with the ball, Song Yingjie kept compressing the formation to the backcourt, keeping the formation compact and not giving them the opportunity to run in the gaps.
When the right forward brought the ball to the left corner of the penalty area, he glanced at the scene in the penalty area and saw that the two forwards of his team were stuck with Lin Hengfeng and Li Bing, so he stretched out his hand to stop Shen Si, and Shen Si pulled away half of his body, picked up the ball with his right foot, and crossed directly.
When the cross came, the box was immediately overcrowded, and they all wanted to rush into the box to fight for the header.
Li Hengfeng looked up at the ball and saw the ball flying directly towards him, and immediately squeezed together with the opponent's striker, wanting to compete for the first landing point.
Lin Hengfeng and the opponent were too close to each other, and it was not easy to jump, Lin Hengfeng shouted: "Tank, come out to catch the ball." ”
Ding Yan heard Lin Hengfeng shouting one by one, and immediately abandoned the door and prepared to catch the ball.
In the scramble, the goalkeeper has a huge advantage, that is, the goalkeeper can use his hands.
Lin Hengfeng and his opponent were still in the position, neither of them could jump, Lin Hengfeng kept squeezing the other party forward. Ding Yan ran over and jumped over, stretched out his ape arm lightly and picked the ball off.
Because there were too many people in the penalty area to prevent accidents, Ding Yanyi did not kick off immediately, but hugged the ball in his arms, and when everyone withdrew from the penalty area, Ding Yanyi kicked the ball out with a big kick.
