Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Terrifying Pace of Progress

After all the matches with Yanbian Fude were over, the Guangzhou R&F team did not fly back to Guangzhou, but went directly to Shanghai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info then began to prepare for the fifth round of the Chinese Super League against Shanghai SIPG.

Shanghai SIPG can be said to be the favorite team to compete for the Chinese Super League championship this year, and its strength is very strong. Especially after the introduction of Guangzhou Evergrande's strong striker 'Little Bear' Elkeson this year, the offensive ability is stronger. And there are several international players such as Wu Lei and Yu Hai in the team, plus the former 'King of Celestial Bodies' Conca, it is definitely a formidable team.

Shanghai SIPG is one of the main competitors of Guangzhou R&F this year. And such a strong team, no matter who comes to face it, will feel pressure. It is precisely because of the importance of this game and the strength of the opponent that Stojkovic did not give Yan Feng a chance again.

Originally, after the match with the Yanbian Fude reserve team, Xie Yuxin suggested to Stojkovic that Yan Feng could be given a chance to try. In this regard, Stojkovic also nodded at the time. But when he came to Shanghai SIPG, he still didn't choose Yan Feng in the end, and gave the quota to others again.

Yan Feng didn't know about this matter, so he was much calmer. After the new Yuxin points after the last game, Yan Feng has completely let go of the knot. His goal now is to improve his abilities in all aspects and try to play gradually in the second half of the season.

This time, Yan Feng didn't react much to being excluded from the list again. It made him sit in the stands with a good mindset and watch the intense game.

The game ended in the loss of Guangzhou R&F. 'Little Bear' Elkeson scored the only goal of the game. For Xiao Xiong, Yan Feng personally likes it very much. The bear is in good health, fast, skilled, dedicated and very self-disciplined. Last year, Xiaoxiong also helped Guangzhou Evergrande win the AFC Champions League. Players like this are not likely to be liked by those who watch the game. If it weren't for the fact that the team was an opponent, Yan Feng would have wanted to rush down to find Xiaoxiong to take a photo and sign an autograph.

And in this game, others also aroused Yan Feng's great interest. For example, Wu Lei, the domestic striker known as the king of martial arts, Yan Feng also pays great attention to his performance on the field. Yan Feng used what he learned to observe Wu Lei and found that he was indeed different from other domestic players. Not only is the speed fast, the technique is also very good, and the level of ball control and archery is the top in China. And what Wu Lei attracted Yan Feng's attention the most was his running awareness, his running position was erratic and accurate, and he was very level. By observing Wu Lei's running position, Yan Feng learned a lot of things.

SIPG also has a domestic player who plays in the back midfield, which has attracted Yan Feng's attention. is not Yu Hai, who changed to play in the back of SIPG, but the current international player Cai Huikang. Cai Huikang is the same as Yan Feng's position as the back midfield, and the style is also very similar. Also as a defensive midfielder, Cai Huikang has a very strong body and strength, strong frontal interception ability, and his foot skills and passing ability are relatively average.

Yan Feng compared himself with Cai Huikang and found that the characteristics were really very similar. In comparison, I actually still have some advantages, that is, I have better speed and physical fitness, and the inferior place is the competition experience. These discoveries made Yan Feng full of confidence in his future. "It seems that my dream of becoming a member of the national team is not far away. ”

And in this game, what Yan Feng paid the most attention to was not the little bear who scored the goal, nor the king of martial arts or Cai Huikang, but the former 'king of celestial bodies' Conca.

In the game, Yan Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that many of Conca's performances were very in line with the time-space application and staggered defense zones mentioned in "Chinese Style".

As we all know, Conca's physical fitness is actually very average. He's not tall enough, not strong enough, not fast enough, but he has very good skill and mind on his feet.

Yan Feng found that Conca was really smart to play. When faced with defence, Conca rarely looks straight for a breakthrough. Often it is the first pull of the ball and then the back to create, enough space. In this way, the opponent can easily pass the ball or cross the belt if he does not move, and if the opponent is also in front of him, he can take advantage of the change of tempo to break through easily.

And when Conca comes to the edge of the penalty area, he usually does not choose to break through or pass directly diagonally when he takes the ball. Instead, they tend to cross the ball to the sides and pull out space before passing through balls, which can often lead to very dangerous passes.

This is completely in line with the concept of time and space around the defense zone mentioned in "Chinese Style". Yan Feng had to sigh that high-level foreign aid playing football is not necessarily. Not only do you know how to play on the field, but you also have enough skilled foot skills to support it.

"It's just playing with your brain. It is no wonder that with his physical condition, he can still lead Guangzhou Evergrande team to win the AFC Champions League and become the 'king of celestial bodies'. It seems that I thought that I had to use my brain as much as he did when I played. Yan Feng saw from Conca where he needed to advance in the future. He doesn't want to be just a defensive player, he wants to be more well-rounded and stronger.

For Conca, Yan Feng was also thinking about how to defend him. In this game, neither Svensson nor Wang Song could restrain Conca. If so, what should I do to protect myself from Conca?

In the end, Yan Feng's answer is like a staring person in a basketball game. Use your speed and stamina, coupled with dominant strength, and stick to Conca like a dogskin plaster. Wherever he went, he followed the ball and couldn't get the ball easily. At the same time, you must continue to use your physical strength to compete and consume Conca's physical strength and energy. Conca is the brain of the SIPG team, and if he is restricted, the SIPG team becomes no threat.

In fact, R&F head coach Stojkovic also thinks so, but none of the people he sent can do this. Svensson, who is average and not flexible enough, can't do it, and Wang Song, who can't do it physically, can't do it.

After watching this main game, in the reserve team game on the second day. Yan Feng actually learned the way Conca played on the field. At every opportunity, he began to try to pull the ball out of the air and then pass a through ball. Not to mention, it made him pass a good through ball or two. It's just that his passing power is not as comfortable and well-controlled as Conca's. That said, it poses a big threat.

In this reserve team game, Yan Feng did not play as desperately and crazy as he did against the Yanbian team. This time he played more calmly. It's not as scary, but the defense hasn't dropped much. And when he was inserted to the front of the penalty area once, facing the standing defensive line, Yan Feng first took a few steps horizontally to force the opponent to show a little space, and then pulled out his foot and scored a goal.

Yan Feng was very satisfied with his performance in this game. Satisfied, some of his ideas have been proven and put into practice.

And as the coach of this reserve team game, Xie Yuxin was not only satisfied, but frightened.

"It's scary, isn't it? It's only been a week. The little madman seems to have made progress again. ”

"I didn't play as badly this time, but the defense still kept the opponent breathless. What's even more surprising is that he's actually trying to organize, and he's really got a couple of nice shots from him!"

"Hasn't this kid always been crushing people with his body? Now that this guy has started to organize in the midfield again, is this still going to keep everyone else alive?" (To be continued.) )
