Chapter 185: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
“…… Chen Xingyi dribbled the ball on the side and passed! Pretty! ”
The narrator's excited voice came from the TV.
Chen Xingyi on the screen did make a beautiful move - he first pretended to continue to go down, and his body leaned forward, but suddenly he braked suddenly, and his right foot stepped out but only crossed the football and shook a shot.
Then he gently flicked the ball inside with the outside of his left foot, and before the second defender of Daming Middle School stretched his foot to break it, the inside of his left foot slammed the ball forward, causing the opponent to pounce.
At the same time, Chen Xingyi jumped up and dodged the fullback of Daming Middle School who was defending in front, and then turned around to avoid the second Daming Middle School player who rushed up, and then caught up with the football and dribbled to the penalty area!
There was a loud cheer from the loudspeaker of the TV, and the screams mixed in could be clearly heard.
After passing two defenders from Daming Middle School, Chen Xingyi dribbled into the penalty area.
Facing the third Daming Middle School player who came up to defend him, he raised his left foot to make a gesture to shoot, and deceived the opponent to turn around and block with his body. But instead of shooting with his left foot, he flicked the ball sideways with the outside instep and dodged the opponent.
Next, before the fourth Daming Middle School defender rushed up to block him, he shot decisively!
The football made an arc, bypassed the ten fingers of the goalkeeper of Daming Middle School, and flew into the goal from the inside of the far post!
"Oh! Pretty! Chen Xingyi scored his second goal of the game! ”
In the midst of the loud cheers, even the narrator's hoarseness was exhausted, and his voice was almost drowned out.
"I'll go, this ball is really beautiful......"
"Chen Xingyi's brainless fans are really annoying, but Chen Xingyi's ability is really outstanding......"
In front of the TV, the players of Chongwen Middle School were also impressed by Chen Xingyi's goal.
This kind of performance, even the opponent can't find fault.
"It seems that there is no suspense that Shuguang High School will reach the finals of this year's national competition. This time, we must succeed in revenge! ”
"Don't think about the finals yet, we still have the semi-finals with Dongchuan Middle School." Marin, who had been silent in the room, said suddenly.
His teammates wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he thought of the words of head coach Xu Fengjiang during training yesterday afternoon, and immediately closed his mouth again.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and the person who went to open the door quickly called out as soon as he opened the door: "Coach? ”
The other Chongwen Middle School players who were crowded in the room to watch the game quickly got up from the bed, chair, and carpet when they heard this, and looked at the door.
Sure enough, they saw head coach Xu Fengjiang standing at the door, his eyes swept around the room; Falling on the TV, the Dawning High School players were celebrating their goals on the screen, and the voice of the commentator came over the speaker: "...... In the 57th minute of the game, Shuguang High School led Daming Middle School by two goals, and the situation was very good......"
Hearing what the commentator said, the Chongwen Middle School players in the room were a little embarrassed, after all, during training yesterday afternoon, the head coach criticized them for only caring about Shuguang High School and not caring about the opponent in the semifinals in front of them.
But this time, Xu Fengjiang did not criticize the players, but said: "Don't watch the game, come to the conference room for a meeting." ”
After saying that, he did not continue to stay, but turned to leave. At the same time, the voice of the assistant coach knocking on the door of the other people's rooms sounded in the corridor outside: "It's a meeting, it's a meeting!" Meeting room gathering! ”
The players of Chongwen Middle School in the room all looked at the captain Marin, who picked up the remote control and turned off the TV: "Let's go, let's have a meeting!" ”
※※※
In this small conference room, the players of Chongwen Middle School were packed, and even moved the tables and chairs to make everyone stand in order to accommodate more people.
In this way, it can be regarded as stuffed into the whole team of Chongwen Middle School.
Everyone standing now looked at the projection screen in front of them, which was the video of the Dongchuan Middle School game edited by the coaching staff of Chongwen Middle School.
From the first game against the last Fourth People's Middle School, to the second round against Qinchuan Middle School, and finally in the quarterfinals 5:2 victory over Qingyang High School.
Head coach Seo Bong-gang was the only one sitting, sitting at his desk and operating his laptop.
Combined with the video of each game, it will explain to everyone why Dongchuan Middle School can win and why their opponents will lose.
"The mistake made by the People's High School is to underestimate Hulai, to be honest, this mistake is very stupid, and Hulai is also the top scorer in this Andong Provincial Qualifiers. However, considering that Sun Yiming, the head coach of Renmin Middle School, is a supporter of the theory of 'winning at halftime', it is not incomprehensible. Because he despised Hulai too much, he paid the price. If they had been more defensive against Hulay, maybe the end result would have been different......"
"There is only one reason why Qinchuan Middle School lost the game, that is, its strength is not as good as Dongchuan Middle School. If it weren't for the fact that Dongchuan Middle School was not very excited about this game, the score would definitely not be 2:1. As for Qingyang Yigao...... It's a stupid example, you have to take a warning, it's the result of not caring about the free play of the players. Although the game was very intense, the players of Qingyang Yigao were all fools, not considering their physical fitness, not taking into account the change in the rhythm of the game, blindly accelerating, and attacking the opponent, thinking that they could win the game with blood? It's ridiculous! ”
When Xu Fengjiang said this, he snorted disdainfully.
Of the three opponents of Dongchuan Middle School, Xu Fengjiang has the lowest evaluation of Qingyang Yigao, although the game highlights of this game after the game are the most popular and watched by "Goal" on the Internet.
Fans love goal shootouts, but for the manager, such a goal shootout means a dereliction of duty on the part of the manager.
Of course, everyone has seen the consequences of this, Qingyang Yigao let Hu Lai score five goals alone. If Hu Lai really won the top scorer of this national competition in the end, then he should be most grateful to the stupid Qingyang Yigao. Because the goal difference he got against this one opponent was enough to make him the top scorer......"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
"Alright, back to our game against Dongchuan Middle School. Hu Lai is the top scorer at Dongchuan Middle School and definitely needs to be focused on. But if it's not enough to just keep an eye on Hulai. When Dongchuan Middle School attacked, it was a whole, from full-back to full-back, to central midfield, and finally to the striker, everyone would be involved. If we only defend Hu Lai, or Xia Xiaoyu, it will be useless. Xu Fengjiang said with a serious expression.
Listening to the head coach, the laughter in the conference room gradually faded and everyone listened attentively to the head coach.
"So against them, we have to make the most of our advantages as a whole, not against them in certain positions, but against them as a whole. For example, in view of the characteristics of their two full-backs who like to insert assists, we will play their wings, and whichever full-back comes up to assist, we will focus on the space behind him, on the one hand, we will easily create offensive opportunities. On the other hand, it can also force their full-backs not to press up and attack, which is equivalent to reducing the pressure on our defense in disguise......"

"Chongwen Middle School is characterized by strong overall comprehensive strength."
In the conference room, Li Ziqiang was introducing his semi-final opponents to his players.
There are many small meeting rooms like this in the Asian Games Village, and there is no need to make an appointment in advance and then queue up to use the conference room like the last national competition.
"In terms of overall strength, there is no doubt that this team is ranked first among all the participating teams. Especially this time, their players are more mature. Judging from this competition, their captain goalkeeper Marin's performance is much more consistent than the last national competition, and the clean goals conceded so far are very telling. They don't have a star player as prominent as Chen Xingyi on the three lines, but with their strong overall strength, they can always easily control the pace of the game and lead the opponent by the nose. This can be seen from their defeat of Changtan Foreign Chinese High School in the quarter-finals. There is one more piece of evidence......"
Li Ziqiang operated a laptop mouse, and the names of multiple players appeared on the projection screen.
"These are the top players from Chongwen Middle School to score in this tournament, six people in total. And they scored a total of 11 goals as a team. Among those six are forwards, midfielders and defenders. There are direct goals from set-pieces, there are point-grabbing points from set-pieces, and there are normal sports goals...... It can be said that both the goalscorers and the way they score are very scattered and average. ”
The players from Dongchuan Middle School looked up at the names and numbers, eleven goals, six players, and the two most goalscorers scored three goals, one who scored two goals, and three people who scored one goal.
"Although we are also an overall offense and defense, Chongwen Middle School is a more mature and complete overall offense and defense. They play both offense and defence, asking the full-backs to press and defending with both strikers retreating to their own 30-metre zone to participate in the defence. Playing against such a team, there are no loopholes to grasp, and it is impossible to expect them to be confused for a while and press against us like Qingyang Yigao. ”
"In addition, Chongwen Middle School is very good at controlling the ball, they are good at controlling the ball with short passes, even if it is goalkeeper Marin, it is rare to drive the football directly to the front court with a big foot, but choose to pass to the defender or the midfielder who retreats, and then transition to the front court through the pass......"
When Hulai heard this, he almost blurted out: Isn't this Barcelona?
But fortunately he held back, otherwise I am afraid that the focus in the conference room would have shifted to him, because everyone would ask him "What team is Barcelona?" ”
How will he answer then?
Although Hu Lai quickly closed his mouth, his small action was still caught by Li Ziqiang, who had been paying attention to him, so he called Hu Lai's name: "Hu Lai, what do you want to say?" ”
At this time, Hulai still became the focus of attention in the conference room......
"No, no, coach, I don't have anything to say......" Hu Lai waved his hand repeatedly.
"No, you have something to say." Li Ziqiang stared at Hu Lai.
"Uh......" Hulai knew that he couldn't hide today, but he couldn't say what he really thought in his head just now. Fortunately, he was in a hurry, and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Actually, I just listened to what the coach said about their goalkeeper's short pass, and I thought of a point, can Shen Yulin and I force their goalkeeper to force him to make a mistake in the game......"
When Li Ziqiang heard Hu Lai's words, an unexpected expression flashed on his face - he really wanted to use Hu Lai's name to play a role and make everyone correct their attitude.
I didn't expect Hu Lai to really think about something, instead of gags and nonsense.
This kid is thinking about things all day long, and he can even think of something useful?
When many teammates heard Hu Lai say this, their eyes lit up, and Shen Yulin puffed up his chest and looked at the head coach.
But Li Ziqiang shook his head: "The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement." If you and Shen Yulin go up to interfere, it's useless. Because the opponent doesn't just have one or two spots, they have a lot of spots at the back, and you go from the middle to get Marin, who can quickly move the ball to the wings. You go from the wing to get Marin and he can pass the ball to the middle. Even if you and Shen Yulin can control two spots, Chongwen Middle School will have more points to choose from. ”
"What if we press forward as a whole?" Hulai asked.
"Then our back will be empty. The opposition can take advantage of their skillful passing and cutting to quickly get the ball behind us. They must be better at this than we are, and we may face a lack of unity of thought and a lack of timing to press. To put it bluntly, we didn't have targeted training before, and now we want to change the style of play, which is not easy to achieve. ”
"Oh, okay......" Hulay had brought up a topic in response to the manager's questioning, and since the manager had rejected his proposal, he didn't dwell on it.
However, he fell into Li Ziqiang's eyes like this, and he may have been misunderstood.
Li Ziqiang thought that he was a little disappointed that his proposal was not accepted, so he praised and comforted him as a kind of encouragement: "But it's not easy for you to think of this, if the situation allows in the game, you can also try to force Marin." ”
Hulai nodded: "Okay, coach. ”
※※※
The cheers in the stadium were like thunder, and Chen Xingyi ran to the corner flag area amid thunderous shouts, and then made a handsome sliding knee, causing his female fans in the stands to scream.
Chen Hantang jumped up from his seat for the first time, waved his fists towards the court, and cheered loudly: "Good job, son!" ”
When he sat back in his seat, Xue Chaoyu, who was sitting next to him, smiled and congratulated Chen Hantang: "The hat trick in the semi-finals of the national competition is really a hero!" Mr. Chen, you have cultivated an excellent son! ”
Chen Hantang tried his best to be modest: "Where, where is it, he still has his own ability, I didn't do anything, I just brought him into the door of football......"
Hearing this, Xue Chaoyu laughed: "Mr. Chen, don't be modest. I'm really looking forward to Chen Xingyi's future in our Golden Arrow! ”
"I'm looking forward to it too, Manager Xue!"
Both middle-aged men set their eyes on the figure that had been surrounded by their teammates in the center of the crowd.
