Edward looked at what was happening on the field with a grin. When his assistant coach handed him the FA Cup footage of Zolin's performance, and let him enjoy the whole process of Zolin taking down one provocateur after another and sending him off the field without fouling, he knew that this exciting tactic would not stop there. Perhaps for many decent gentlemen, this is not in line with the spirit of an athlete, but for a goalkeeper who can dominate the penalty area, it is a good tool. A goalkeeper only needs to use a super-technical means at the right time in a game to show his determination to defend the goal and shake the confidence of the opposing attacking team, after all, no athlete is completely unafraid of injury.

Zuo Lin thought differently from Edward, he just felt that it was more unpleasant to look at the opposing striker. However, Zuo Lin will not repeatedly resort to hyper-technical means. The referee from Saudi Arabia looked at him with a wary gaze that forced him to restrain himself.

Throughout the first half, Edward did not hesitate to make the scene extremely ugly and used very peculiar tactics. All but one striker was in their own half, almost letting the Japanese attack. But the Chinese team's defensive method is very strange, each player defends an area, and the protection of each other is not very close, only in front of the goal, a few defenders compress the opponent's shooting route, but the compression is extremely limited, sometimes it is simply deliberately exposed some opportunities for the Japanese team to shoot. The Chinese team has to defend very layered, but neither pressing, nor aggressive, this kind of game looks like a training match. In the entire first half, Japan had 12 shots on goal, and all of them were within the woodwork. However, with a goalkeeper like Zorin, these shots that are already limited in angle and distance are nothing. After all, this is a tactic that doesn't make Zuo Lin doze off much.

Outside the field, the team leader asked Edward with some incomprehension: "Mr. Edward, I don't understand your intentions very well. It's true that we weren't very strong, but we had never been so passive in the past against Japan. ”

"That's because the focus on the game is different, and I want to look good and want to win, although I want to too, but the current Chinese team can't do this. So, I'm going to choose the one you prefer: winning. "Running back and forth is physically demanding, especially when you can see the hope of winning, the running is very active, the physical exertion is very fast, but the physical response is very low. I don't like the stats, I can't tell you how long it will take for the Japanese team to have a problem with their stamina, but the second half should give you an effect. ”

Edward made three strikers in the second half, leaving only two defenders to defend, and the rest of the team continued to attack, and the steals were much more ferocious. The sudden increase in pressure made the Japanese team very uncomfortable, and the lack of physical strength due to the frequent running in the first half gradually began to show. However, due to the fact that the Japanese team's defense was also quite layered, and the Chinese team's forwards lacked a bit of luck, neither side could score until the end of the game. In the end, it could only end 0:0.

Such results are not satisfactory. However, the different performances of the Chinese team in the first and second halves have made many people realize that this is an intentional tactic, although there is no goal, but in the second half, the Chinese team's attack one after another, the more balanced distribution of the ball on both wings and the middle, and the imagination that has obviously improved when cooperating in the midfield, have made the Chinese team that has only been trained for a week bright.

Unlike any manager who likes to accuse the media of irresponsible reporting and then get along with the media, Edward is very fond of the media, especially those who like to swear. He deliberately asked the assistant coach to leak some news to some media to blame the Chinese team, and provided manuscripts to other media to praise the Chinese team. But media orientation is gradually being controlled by these strange actions.

He even added a media consultant and a copywriting assistant to the national team's roster, which was basically used to write the gunner's manuscript. For the already huge expenses of the Chinese team, these two experiences, the expenses of members with good media relations are not a burden on the Chinese team, but they play a considerable role.

In the next match against Spain, the Chinese team has become more and more mature in this tactic of consuming the opponent's physical strength and then counterattacking. Although this tactic is based on the trust that a super goalkeeper like Zuo Lin will not be breached, it sounds a bit mysterious, but in fact, so far, Zuo Lin has not disappointed.

With no one pressing, the Spanish team's attacking prowess was unmistakable. The quality of all 11 shots in the first half was very high. Moreover, the Spanish team's technical confidence is incomparable to Japan's, their forward defenders pursue the best shooting position in the front court rather than a good shooting position, frequently breaking through the Chinese team's back line and even dribbling the ball until the small penalty area to shoot, which makes Zuo Lin very tired. As a strong European team, Spain has indeed made Zolin feel the level of football on another level.

In the end, the match against Spain still ended 0:0, while the Chinese team entered the third and fourth place competition with two games without scoring and conceding a goal, and the opponent was Ghana. In this faceless game, Edward didn't even send Zolin on the field. However, in this game, the Chinese team, which did not have the ultimate defense, seemed to be sober, and played more actively than the previous two games, especially in defense, and finally defeated Ghana 2:1 and won the third place in the Six Nations Invitational Tournament.

I don't know if this result alone is satisfactory, but after all, it is an international event, and all the teams invited are ranked higher in the world than China, so it would be nice to have a third place to comfort me. But the scouts who came to watch the game and test Zuolin's ability were very satisfied. Edward is not a reckless coach, and a reckless fellow cannot be a famous "conspirator", but this conspirator has an extraordinary trust in Zolin. He even specified the tactics of the current Chinese team on the premise that Zuo Lin would not be broken, and it seems to be working well. Combined, Zolin faced almost 40 shots in total, half of which were of considerable quality. However, there was no threat at all. Zuo Lin's ease is another comment in the eyes of scouts, many scouts said in the report: Zuo Lin has an almost predictable insight into the shooting route, he can always start early, occupy key positions and adjust at the right time, rarely let himself fall into the situation of desperate risk-taking behaviors such as the need to make a fish leap save, Zuo Lin's excellent goalkeeping ability even masks the striker's tricky choice of the ball and the continuous attempt to challenge.

After receiving such high praise, the first tentative transfer bids quietly arrived in the general manager office of the Shenbao team and Zuo Lin's agent Sang Shilin. The first batch of offers is very heart-beating: the minimum is 10 million yuan, the maximum is 5 million US dollars...... For a newcomer to the Chinese Super League, it's incredible.

Zuo Lin hasn't gotten this news at this time, in fact, with the life route he has decided, even if he knows, I'm afraid it won't make any difference. He doesn't think about what European big teams he wants to go to, he doesn't get complacent about the value he has to offer, he doesn't dream about the team he should choose to go to, because he is still very new to football, he doesn't even think much about how these teams pay attention to him, and he will change his life, because in his mind, he has never understood the way the world works. Zuo Lin, who was a little confused about these floating clouds of money, reputation and status, boarded a plane to Hong Kong with Jin Xiaohua on the day of the end of the Six Nations Invitational Tournament.

After Zuo Lin's enlightenment, Jin Xiaohua's cultivation during this period was fruitful. She reflected on her previous attitude and began to practice the breathing and meditation methods taught by Zuo Lin from scratch, and since she had previous experience learning the qigong breathing method, she first spent a while incorporating this breathing method, known as the tree breathing method, into her daily life. When she finally entered a normal cultivation state, she was quickly fascinated by everything around her. She found that once she changed her eyes, the things that seemed ordinary to be ignored at any time turned out to be so interesting, in the city, this nature is still showing its own strong and optimistic vitality, the surrounding flowers and plants do not have all kinds of troubles like those around them, survival is all they have, thriving is the ultimate proposition of their continuous efforts, the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death is as natural as their every breath, and simple thoughts and open-mindedness to life allow these simple creatures around them to face anything calmly。 The combination of the tree-breathing method and the unique affinity of women makes Jin Xiaohua as easy as Yan Yingxue to be popular with animals, and sometimes when she lies down on a park bench for a nap, those birds that Jin Xiaohua can't name will even stop on her. As for cats and dogs, animals that are more intelligent and more sensitive to qi are easier to get along with.

In this state of excitement and peace, after substituting the tree breath method into his daily life, Jin Xiaohua is actually more diligent than before. She is now a person who cultivates 24 hours a day, and it can be said that she is a thousand miles a day in the accumulation of the power of nature. What's more, she is different from Yan Yingxue, Yan Yingxue's practice relies largely on instinct and Zuo Lin's explanation, while Jin Xiaohua is constantly summarizing and improving, groping and adjusting herself, and trying to find the most efficient method.

If Jin Xiaohua maintains this cultivation speed, I'm afraid it won't take her a few months to start learning the basic ability to transform form with plant stems and leaves, and maybe her achievements will soon surpass that of an ordinary acolyte and develop towards an orthodox druid. Zuo Lin was considering whether to train Jin Xiaohua as a druid, and also teach her ordinary druid language and spell druid language. However, before that, Jin Xiaohua was still a qualified attendant with great combat effectiveness and rich experience in the use of modern weapons. This time he went to Hong Kong to assist the Security Bureau and the Special Affairs Bureau in their operations, and Zuo Lin felt that taking Jin Xiaohua with him would not only save him a lot of communication troubles, but also allow Jin Xiaohua to see how a druid fights.
