Chapter 32: Solo Performance
Cruyff's turn, as the name suggests, was a signature move by Dutch superstar Cruyff, which was first seen in the group stage of the Netherlands vs Sweden at the 1974 World Cup. The "Cruyff Turn" is a demanding combination www.biquge.info of speed, feints and flexibility.
After Zhang Shujie passed Chen Peng, the goal was close in front of him. Goalkeeper Wu Dong was stunned by the action just now, and when he reacted, Zhang Shujie had already kicked the door. But because the angle of this position itself is very small, even if Wu Dong is half a beat slower, he is still lucky to save the ball.
Although the ball did not score, Zhang Shujie's ingenious "Cruyff turn" won a lot of applause. This was the twenty-fifth minute of the first half of the game, and his solo performance was less than ten minutes away from Li Mu's "oxtail passing" just now.
Zhou Ying asked Wang Shihan: "Did you shoot the action just now?"
"Of course it was filmed! ”
Zhou Ying stretched out her head. Wang Shihan said: "I pressed the shutter continuously and took pictures of every detail. ”
An Rong walked up to the two of them and said to them: "Don't care about his actions, pay attention to the game on the field, take notes and shoot." ”
The two girls stuck out their tongues and turned their attention to the court.
Liu Xiying had good luck today, she saw two incredible people in a row, she didn't know what the names of these two actions were, until she heard the two reporters behind her talk about "oxtail passing" and "Cruyff turning", she still didn't understand the origin of these names.
Tang Feng took the pen and said while writing: "Xiao Liu, I really didn't expect that these two high school students would have such an ingenious way of passing people, which really opened my eyes." ”
Xiao Liu sighed: "I have seen it too." Brother Tang, to be honest, this is the first time I have witnessed 'Oxtail' and 'Cruyff Turn', which I have only seen on TV before. ”
"Why shouldn't I? These two teenagers are not simple. ”
"This is something that many professional athletes can't do, and the two of them actually made it!"
Tang Feng stopped the pen in his hand, glanced at the two teenagers on the field respectively, and said secretly in his heart: "It would be a pity if they could only play in the amateur league in their lives." ”
Zhang Shujie used "Cruyff turned around" to return the color to Li Mu's "oxtail passing", but Li Mu stood in the distance and smiled at Zhang Shujie. For Li Mu, no matter what his friend does, it doesn't seem to be a very strange thing. On this court, who knows him better than Li Mu? The answer is no.
In the same way, Zhang Shujie also knows Li Mu well. So when the wonderful performance of the two appeared, they were not as surprised as the others, as if everything was expected.
Xinguang Middle School wants to organize an attack, and the first thing that comes to mind is Li Mu, as long as the ball is at his feet, no matter how tight the opponent's defense is, he has a way to tear apart the defense. Yuying Middle School couldn't grab his ball between the two people in the front and back, and he could still pass the ball calmly.
Qin Yang kept running in the front court, like a ghost, if it weren't for Yan Tao's excellent defensive awareness, Qin Yang would have scored at least one goal. Both of them tried their best, one wanted to score quickly, and the other tried to stop it.
Liu Jiajun and Luo Yi, who are in charge of the left and right wing-backs, are also pulling out and running. During this time, Yuying Middle School was very passive, and all ten players returned to their own half to assist in the defense. Li Mu and Qin Yang took turns to put pressure on the goal of Yuying Middle School in different ways, no matter how powerful Yan Tao was, he could only watch Qin Yang alone, and he basically couldn't prevent Li Mu.
Compared with Li Mu's activity in the attack, Zhang Shujie was a lot quieter, except for the previous "Cruyff turn", he did not have more performances. Of all the players in Yuying Middle School, only he remained in the frontcourt, but the team has been suppressed, and he has done nothing in the frontcourt, perhaps the only role is to contain the defenders.
The midfield has almost been controlled by Li Mu, and on the football field, getting the midfield is equivalent to getting the world, and this piece of the world does not belong to Yuying Middle School.
In the past, Yuying Middle School relied on the personal abilities of Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao, and liked to implement the response tactics of retreating and inserting. But it was only used once in this game. The defense was too tight, Yan Tao didn't have many opportunities to insert assists, and most of the time he was at the front of his own penalty area. If this continues, how long can Yuying Middle School's goal last?
The cheerleaders of Xinguang Middle School cheered for the team, and the cheering of the cheerleaders of Yuying Middle School did not stop, and the atmosphere on the court was extremely high, which made people excited.
Huang Zhou was swept by Li Mu again, and even he couldn't remember how many times he had been passed by this person. Li Mu dribbled the ball with his feet, others couldn't break his ball at all, Qin Yang began to run, and Yan Tao followed closely. Li Mu glanced at Qin Yang, suddenly raised his left foot, and after the ball left the ground, it did not fly to Qin Yang, but to the other side.
Liu Jiajun cut in from the left, and Li Jian had returned to the vicinity of the penalty area to assist the defender in the defense, and stuck to Liu Jiajun's side. The two of them jumped up at the same time to fight for the ball, and in the end they were finally hit by Liu Jiajun.
He stretched out his head and passed the ball to Zhou Haiping who was inserted in the air in the air, the old captain can only defend, not attack, but no matter who is in this position, the goalkeeper will chuckle. Zhou Haiping's position was only about seven yards away from the goal, and he was also one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and the nearest defender was also two meters away from him.
He Xin has already attacked! Maybe Zhou Haiping really has no confidence in shooting, facing the goalkeeper he crossed to the middle, Kong Xiao, who was returning to the defense, wanted to stretch his legs to block, but in front of him was his own goal, or an empty goal, and he would swing himself an oolong if he was not careful, so the leg he had just stretched out retracted.
Li Mu has been outflanked in place.
Seven yards in front of him, there is no goal line where the goalkeeper stands, this kind of ball can be kicked in as long as it is not a cripple, let alone Li Mu. Yan Tao saw that it was not good, and when he saw that Li Mu was about to shoot, he jumped over with his body and wanted to use his body to block this shot.
Li Mu touched the ball on the sole of his right foot, he stepped on the ball, pushed it with his left foot, and the ball rolled from the only defensive crack to the right front. Yan Tao yelled badly, and saw the unmarked Qin Yang appear in front of the door, Tang Wendong's face changed greatly, and he ran quickly to stop Qin Yang from shooting, but it was too late.
As soon as Qin Yang raised his foot, the ball was lying in the goal of Yuying Middle School.
After 30 minutes of fierce struggle, the score on the scoreboard finally became 1:0, and Shin Kong Middle School took the lead.
After the goal, Qin Yang did not take the lead in celebrating with Li Mu, who assisted, and he roared loudly and ran to the fans of his team, showing his No. 9 jersey. This should have been Zhang Shujie's shirt, but because he left Xinguang Middle School and went to Yuying Middle School to study, this jersey was given to Qin Yang, who transferred to the school this year.
Qin Yang's intention couldn't be more obvious, he wanted to tell everyone in the cheers of the cheerleaders: Zhang Shujie did not stay in Xinguang Middle School to study in high school, it is not a pity.
Reporters from major media outlets also frantically took pictures and videos of him. Qin Yang felt that just showing the jersey was not enough, and said loudly into a camera: "There is no Zhang Shujie in Xinguang Middle School, only me Qin Yang!"
Li Mu hurriedly pulled him to prevent this guy from going too crazy. An Rong, Wang Shihan, and Zhou Ying are quite calm, according to the situation on the field, it is only a matter of time before Xinguang Middle School scores a goal, and they have already prepared in their hearts. What's more, any team will almost concede a goal when facing Shin Kong Middle School. Tang Feng and Xiao Liu are also very calm, and it is not surprising that the old powerhouse Xinguang Middle School scored first.
There were fifteen minutes left in the first half, and theoretically Yuying Middle School had a chance to equalize the score, but Li Mu was too strong, once he controlled the ball, Yuying Middle School could basically only watch him dribble with beautiful dance steps and couldn't stop it.
After Huang Zhou was shaken by him for the nth time, he couldn't help but drag him to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle and Huang Zhou got a yellow card.
Xinguang Middle School won a free kick in front, but the ball was too far away from the goal, estimated to be about forty meters, Li Mu could not shoot directly, he passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, and the person who received the ball was Qin Yang.
Li Mu's ball arc and landing point are very good, the pass is very good, Qin Yang is ready to jump to fight for the point, but Yan Tao will not let him succeed easily. Qin Yang is taller than Yan Tao, but his physique is a little worse, under the weight of a body like Mount Tai, he can't jump, and the ball is also destroyed by Yan Tao out of the penalty area.
Kong Xiao saw the incoming ball and chose a position in advance. But Li Mu fought out halfway, blocked in front of Kong Xiao, and unloaded the ball with his chest. Kong Xiao wanted to grab back, Li Mu pulled the ball back with the soles of his feet, then turned around and buckled, and easily dribbled the ball past him.
Yuying Middle School's restricted area was crowded with people, and the two colors of team uniforms were mixed together. Li Mu rubbed the ball high into the sky with the outside of his left foot, and the ball flew over the heads of more than a dozen people, drew an outer arc, and floated to the back of the goal.
The ball has gone into the sky above the small penalty area, and everyone knows that if the ball is grabbed by the players of Shin Kong Middle School, the score is very likely to be rewritten again. For a while, the players of both teams flocked to the back point, with different ideas, both wanting to be the first to grab the ball.
In the end, no one succeeded in scrambling, and the ball flew too high to jump up and grab it. Everyone thought that the ball would fly out of the bottom line, but unexpectedly, the ball suddenly fell rapidly in the air, with a strong spin, and drilled into the corner of the goal.
Li Mu This is not a pass at all, he is shooting!
The flight arc of the ball was very large, and the goalkeeper was out of reach, and Zhou Ying and the two girls closed their eyes at this moment and couldn't bear to look at it again. Wang Shihan didn't dare to watch it, but as a reporter accompanying the team, she had to take every important shot, so she had to watch it.
There was a crisp sound, and the ball hit the junction of the beam and the post, bounced, and bounced off the baseline.
It's a false alarm.
Knowing that the ball did not go in, Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying opened their eyes again. Li Mu smiled and slowly ran back to the midfield, the shot just now missed the target, and he didn't care in his heart. It's just that he doesn't know how much of a shock this is to Yuying Middle School, from fans to coaches.
finally survived until the end of the first half, An Rong hurriedly called the players into the lounge, he wanted to make a change in the formation, tactics and personnel, if it remained the same, this game would definitely be lost.
Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying took out wet towels and gave each of them one to make everyone shocked. Yan Tao sat down and shouted: "Oh my God, that Li Mu is terrible!"
As the team's first defender, even he said so, and others would not have any opinions.
Huang Zhou added: "I have only seen him play football before, and I think his skills are very good, but today I know that this guy is a devil and cannot be prevented." ”
Liu Fang also said: "It's unbelievable, he completely controlled the midfield by himself. ”
Pan Yongcheng said: "As long as you can freeze him, there will not be many opportunities for Xinguang Middle School." That Qin Yang is certainly powerful, but without Li Mu, his threat is not great. ”
Yan Tao said: "I don't understand, there was no Li Mu in the high school of Xinguang Middle School before, how did they get the national championship?"
"Because the No. 10 team member before Li Mu has graduated. It was Zhang Shujie who spoke: "There are actually not many masters in Xinguang Middle School today, and there are only a few people who turn over and over." In the past three years, their main lineup has not changed much, and eight of the nine main players have completed their studies this summer, and only repeat student Zhou Haiping is still there. ”
"The nine main forces, plus Chen Peng and Wu Dong, so the eleven people in their team last year were all very powerful?"
"Not bad. Eight of them have gone this year, and someone needs to fill them, except for Li Mu, a new recruit, and Qin Yang, a transfer student, the remaining six positions are all substitutes from last year. In comparison, the overall strength of this year's Shin Kong Middle School is a little weaker than in the past three years. Fortunately, there is still a Li Mu, otherwise, they would not be able to play the results that they have appeared. ”
Yan Tao smiled bitterly: "One Li Mu is enough for us to be busy." ”
An Rong clapped his hands at everyone: "Let's not talk about this matter yet, Li Mu is very powerful, but we can't admit defeat because he is alone." I'm going to adjust the formation now, 4-3-1-2 becomes 4-1-4-1, Huang Zhou, you have a yellow card, you won't play in the second half, I'll let Duan Song replace you later. ”
Huang Zhou nodded in understanding.
"Pan Yongcheng, you withdraw from the forward position to the midfield, and the four midfielders stand in parallel. Yan Tao, you have always been defending Qin Yang when you go to work, what do you think of him?"
"I always feel that Qin Yang is not so terrifying. Although he scored a goal, but this goal was completely Li Mu disrupting our backline, I started to see Li Mu taking the ball in the penalty area, thinking he was going to shoot, but he passed it to Qin Yang. Let's be honest, coach, I think the ball just now is very likely to be scored even if Li Mu shoots by himself, but he just chose to pass. ”
"Yes, that's just the way it is. It was Li Mu's selflessness that made Qin Yang's goal come true. So in the second half, your position is a little bit earlier, between the midfielder and the defender, so that you will meet Li Mu. Duan Song and Kong Xiao are right behind you, Qin Yang and I will hand it over to Duan Song, as for Zhang Shujie......"
An Rong looked at him: "Your performance in the first half was very average on the whole, although you were an arrow figure, but in the second half I asked to withdraw to the forward position." In this way, the distance between you and Yan Tao will be closer, and it will be more convenient to take care of it. I'm sure you both understand why I'm doing this. ”
The two said in unison, "We understand. ”
"Very well, I won't blame you for conceding in the first half, against Shin Kong High School, the winner of the last three national tournaments. In the second half, we tried to let Li Mu get the ball as little as possible! Also, it will be our ball later, I ask you to attack immediately after serving! Then regardless of whether the ball goes in or not, immediately retreat to defend! In the second half, we mainly play defensive counterattack!"
This is the first large-scale adjustment since An Rong led the team to participate in the qualifiers. Especially for Zhang Shujie, letting him, a single striker, withdraw to the forward position, which is almost equivalent to a no-striker tactic! Facing a strong opponent like Xinguang Middle School, An Rong decided to play conservatively and not take too many risks.
I just don't know, what kind of adjustment will Xinguang Middle School make to the second half?
