Sun Yonggang felt that the mobile phone in his trouser pocket was vibrating, so he took it out and looked at it, and an update of the battle situation popped up:

Dongchuan Middle School 2:0 Renmin Middle School, Scorer: Hu Lai (29, 54)

This kid scored again?!

Sun Yonggang held his mobile phone in a daze.

Then he turned his gaze to the stadium where the game was going on at this time, and his gaze was a little complicated.

Here, the second half of the game between Shuguang High School and Haihe No. 3 Middle School has begun. After the halftime adjustment, the format of the game has changed, and Dawning High School has become more and more brave and has completely occupied the top.

But in fact, looking carefully at the tactics, formations, and personnel, Sun Yonggang didn't see any adjustments.

The players at Aurora High School are just more motivated and focused......

Just five minutes before Hu Lai's goal, Chen Xingyi had also scored a brace to help Shuguang High School take the lead again.

He shook his head slightly.

If Sun Yonggang didn't know that the two games were going on at the same time, it would be absolutely impossible for the players on the field to know what was going on in the other field, so he really thought that these two people were deliberately on purpose......

Though...... It stands to reason that with Chen Xingyi's fame, past record and strength in the national competition, how can Hu Lai be qualified to compete with him?

But Sun Yonggang just had such an absurd idea.

Maybe it's because he once heard the two teenagers fighting each other at the airport......

In the stands of the football field of Lingnan Institute of Technology, Chu Yifan's other three roommates all looked at the court in amazement.

Just now, the fourteenth striker of Dongchuan Middle School once again completed his weird celebration in front of everyone present.

And his teammates flocked to him for the second time.

"Haha, willing to lose!" Chu Yifan clapped his hands and laughed in the stands, "Thank you brothers for your hospitality!" ”

The three roommates frowned, shook their heads, and said, "This is impossible...... How did this goal go in? ”

"This fish leap to the top is too exaggerated, isn't it? Shoot straight from the penalty spot with a leap to the top...... How do I feel it's more likely? ”

Chu Yifan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he was Mengjin or not, the fact is that when the People's Middle School had the upper hand, it was Dongchuan Middle School that scored the goal." Don't be reluctant! ”

The three roommates glanced at each other and sighed in unison, after inviting Da Chu one by one, they were afraid that they would only have to eat instant noodles......

Li Ziqiang is still expressionless, even if his team is already two goals ahead of the top four in the last national competition, People's Middle School, he did not look up to the sky and laugh because of excitement.

In fact, his most intense action was to get up and walk out and wave his fist after Hulay's goal.

But the expression on his face was always taut, even tighter after the goal - he gritted his back molars and threw a fist.

His face was tense, but in fact, Li Ziqiang's heart was very happy, or rather fulfilled.

Ever since Rokai left, he has been hell-bent on building a team that meets his expectations.

For this reason, after returning from the national competition last year, he asked the senior freshmen and sophomores who stayed in the middle to do more basic physical training, mainly to practice physical fitness, which is actually laying the foundation.

Without enough physical strength as a foundation, the offensive and defensive tactics he envisioned were destined to be nothing more than a castle in the air.

The arrival of Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui after the new move in high school was an unexpected joy, but it also made it easier for him to implement his ideas.

Originally, in Li Ziqiang's plan, even if there was no person like Xia Xiaoyu, it would not be too much trouble. After all, it is said that it is a combination of offense and defense, so naturally it is the strength of the whole team that needs to be relied on in the attack, not a certain person.

So it's good to have Xia Xiaoyu, but it's not in the way without Xia Xiaoyu.

As for Hulai, it is the most important part of this set of tactics.

It is different from Sun Yiming, the head coach of Renmin Middle School, the players of Renmin Middle School, Chu Yifan's roommates, and some others who think that Xia Xiaoyu is the core of the team.

On the contrary, in Li Ziqiang's heart, Hulai is the core of this team.

Because if he hadn't been there, all Li Ziqiang's previous arrangements would have been just jokes. After all, no matter how offensive and defensive you are, someone always has to be able to put the ball into the opponent's goal, right?

Can others do it, such as Shen Yulin?

Actually, it's okay, but it's not as easy to use as Hulai...... Or sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

In fact, even if Luo Kai comes, I am afraid that he will not be able to compare to Hu Lai's ability to score.

There are a lot of tactics, no matter how cleverly designed, if you can't score a goal in the end, then everything you have designed before will be in vain.

After all, all tactical support has to be goals, and if your team can't score goals, it's very difficult to stay up in the game. Even Jiaxiang High School, which is good at defense, has to have a striker like Xu Gaofei who is good at counterattacking.

It's just that in today's football, scoring goals no longer seems to be the task of a central striker. In many tactics, the center forward, or even the striker, is only one part of the team's tactics, and the more important role is to contain and defend. Use your own movement to contain the opposition and create opportunities for your teammates to pull out the gaps.

There was also a popular "no striker" in world football for a while, and you can know what this means by looking at the name, and you can score goals without a striker.

In the last two decades, under the onslaught of various tactical ideas, the center forward has been called upon to be more versatile and versatile. Even a center forward can not shoot, he can't score, but he definitely can't pass the ball, he can't take the ball, he can't protect the ball, he can't get involved in running...... In other words, even if he can't even score double-digit goals in a season, as long as he can return to the defense when the team is defending, can pull away when attacking, provide assists to his teammates, and connect the midfield, then he is a good center.

As for scoring, some of the midfielders do it with all kinds of central midfielders, wing-backs, or wingers. The center striker just pushes the opposing defender against it.

Under this trend of thought, the cultivation of center talents naturally follows this direction.

There are people who score single-digit goals in a season, but because of their excellent physical fitness, they can always return to the defense in time, and they can faithfully implement the manager's tactics in the front court to start strangling and forcing the opponent to get the ball. So sit firmly in the main center of the giant team.

Some people have scored very few goals in a season, but because of their outstanding tactical role, they can still take the blame after losing, and they are naturally the main force of the giants.

Li Ziqiang is not saying that these centers are not good, these tactics are not good, for example, the overall offensive and defensive tactics he plays by himself are actually one of the more popular tactics.

Some centers are also a very important part of the tactics, and if there is no center forward to contain the opponent's defense, and if there is no center as a bridgehead for the team's attack, the results of those teams will be greatly reduced.

But Li Ziqiang just thinks that everyone is too extreme, as if a center that is not comprehensive enough is not a good center, so it can't be used.

After all, isn't football still about who scores the most goals? So if you have a center forward who can score goals, why can't you use it?

Besides, those European giants, the world's football powers have all kinds of outstanding talents, they can afford to play without a striker, what about other teams?

For example, the Chinese team.

Nowadays, the Chinese team is plagued by the lack of excellent strikers, even in the face of some weak teams, they often have the dilemma of scoring a goal for dozens of minutes.

And the overall strength of the Chinese team's midfield and backfield is really not strong in today's Asian football, and there is no striker who is particularly good at scoring goals, how can he achieve good results? After all, when your overall strength is not superior, if you can't attack for a long time, the morale of both sides will naturally disappear, the Chinese team will play more and more impatiently, and the defensive side will be more and more confident.

If you meet an opponent whose strength is almost the same as that of the Chinese team, or even better than the Chinese team, the poor scoring ability will become a fatal shortcoming.

On the one hand, it may indeed be that he wants to keep up with the mainstream of world football, and on the other hand, he may also be forced by the fact that Chinese football really can't find a few strikers who can score goals - there are no strikers available, so why don't you play "no striker"?

Of course, the result of this is naturally a failure, because Haoqiang uses the "no striker formation" because their midfield is strong, and the Chinese team uses this because the striker can't score goals...... But the midfield strength is not strong, what good end can you play without a striker?

So after seeing Hu Lai's ability, Li Ziqiang had already made a decision in his heart. In his sophomore year of high school, Hulai bluntly announced his position as the offensive core of the team, unmistakably told everyone what kind of football he wanted to play, and then everyone worked together in that direction. lest anyone question and provoke his authority and waste everyone's time and energy.

It was a surprise to the sophomores and juniors - everyone still remembers how the head coach looked down on Hulai, but he didn't expect that after the coach changed his mind, it was as if he didn't remember what his attitude towards Hulai was before.

Li Ziqiang doesn't care what others think of him, he only cares if his tactics can be implemented and observed, and whether he can succeed.

In the Anton Cup, he has actually been experimenting with this tactic all the time, wanting to see how it works.

And the end result is surprisingly good.

Hu Lai became the top scorer in the Anton Cup, and Dongchuan Middle School also successfully defended the Anton Cup championship and won the right to participate in the national competition again.

Among them, the 3:1 victory over Jiaxiang High School is Hu Lai's masterpiece - as the main center, he was collectively targeted by Jiaxiang High School, in this case, Hu Lai can still grasp the few opportunities and score.

This person is not like Luo Kai, he is not fancy and unsightly, and even a little mediocre, but he is like an ordinary dagger with an ordinary appearance, and the appearance is ordinary to not attract attention, but in fact it is extremely sharp, and he can easily kill someone with a stab forward.

Li Ziqiang turned his head and glanced at Sun Yiming, who was standing on the sidelines like a dumbfounded.

He has learned about the resume of the head coach of the People's High School, and knows that he is a head coach who believes in the "midfield winning theory", believing that the midfield is the most important part of a team, and the team is strong if the midfield is strong, and the team is weak if the midfield is weak.

It stands to reason that there is no such thing...... After all, the midfield has both offense and defense, and if the midfield is strong, it can attack and retreat, and it can reduce the pressure on the defense while scoring directly, without the need for a striker with strong scoring ability.

But if Hulai's "ordinary" dagger is ignored because of this, it will be a big problem.

Li Ziqiang once thought that although Hu Lai had a good talent, his foundation was too weak to be of great use. So at the beginning, he didn't treat Hu Lai as a person in his team, when he recruited sixteen new people, he was actually recruiting fifteen people, and Hu Lai's name was clearly added by Li Ziqiang at the end...... I thought that this kid would definitely not be able to survive the basic training assigned by himself, and he would take the initiative to leave.

As a result, this kid not only survived the somewhat difficult basic training he arranged, but also improved like a rocket, from the first substitute appearance in the Anton Cup to scoring three goals in the national competition; From the first year of high school, he can only rely on playing smart to score goals, to the second year of high school, he can carry the captain of Jiaxiang High School to complete the shooting...... This progress is really a rapid progress, so that Li Ziqiang's concern about his "weak foundation" has been thrown out of the clouds.

Now that the foundation has been solidified, Li Ziqiang has no previous prejudice against Hu Lai, and naturally wants to fully squeeze his ability.

From the first year of high school to the present, his efforts on Hulai have not been in vain.

He doesn't know where Dongchuan Middle School will end up in this national competition, but in the face of all kinds of opponents, he will always be more relaxed than last year.
