The speed of the discussion of the wild race made all the fans shine, and the morale of Jianlibao also rebounded.

In the first half, the two sides played a few more exciting attacks, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"Xiao Yi, good kick."

"It's okay, let's make persistent efforts in the second half!"

"Just kick it like that! I don't believe we can't kill him! ”

The teammates were elated, as if they wanted to vent all the grievances of the first half.

Looking at the discussion surrounded by the stars holding the moon in the middle, Zhang Ran let out a long sigh, followed the back of the team with his head down, and walked towards the locker room without saying a word.

Accompanying him, there were also Li Weifeng and Zheng Yi, two frosted eggplants, which looked wilted.

"How? Can it still hold up? ”

Feeling the touch coming from the back of his neck, Sun Jihai barely squeezed out a smile: "Brother Ou, no problem." ”

"Is it really okay? It's not good to be reluctant, and if there is any problem, say it as soon as possible. ”

Sun Jihai still shook his head, "Brother Ou, I'm fine, I can hold on." ”

After speaking, Sun Jihai gave Ou Chuliang a smile that met social expectations, and bowed his head and left.

In the locker room, Zhu Guanghu looked at the people with high fighting spirits, and his face was full of satisfaction.

It's all in the semi-finals, and if you get past England, the next one will be the final! Whoever they face in the final, the time given to both sides is 90 minutes anyway.

Everyone is one head and two legs, I can't beat you, can't I fight you?

The thought of playing chicken blood in the final and thus achieving the ultimate victory. Zhu Guanghu can't wait to hope that the team can get past the semi-finals as soon as possible, and then put on a passionate pre-war speech in front of thousands of fans.

That scene, when you think about it, I feel enjoyable.

At this point, Zhu Guanghu coughed lightly and said, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." ”

"We played well in the first half, although we didn't score a goal, but the opponent is also a duck egg!"

"And we don't lose much to the opponent in terms of possession and number of attacks, in such a fierce battle. The first thing I want to praise for keeping the goal clean is the players at the back! ”

Swish!

All eyes were focused on Zhang Ran and the others, Zhang Ran's head was covered with a towel, he barely raised his head, squeezed out a smile and said, "It's all up to Brother Ou to help in the back." If it weren't for the good of O'Go, it would have been difficult for us to hold on to the draw. ”

"That's right, it's all up to Brother Ou!" The counsellor shouted.

"It's all up to Brother Ou!"

"Brother Ou is beautiful!"

"With Brother Ou here, what are we afraid of when we defend?"

Seeing that everyone was coaxing, Ou Chuliang smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be so exaggerated.

Zhu Guanghu did not miss this opportunity, and praised again: "That's right, Ou Chuliang's performance in the first half is also worth encouraging. According to our statistics in the first half, Ou Chuliang saved a total of 8 shots on goal and also had 7 key interceptions. This performance alone is enough to be rated as the MVP of the game! ”

“MVP，MVP，MVP！” The players shouted the funky name loudly, as if to take the atmosphere to the extreme.

After everyone gradually calmed down, Zhu Guanghu continued: "But, our defense is good, but the players in the midfield are not very good. ”

"There were so many attacking opportunities in the first half, and I didn't take one of them, which is a bit unreasonable."

"So in the second half, we're going to..."

Zhu Guanghu deliberately made a long note again, seemingly to criticize the frontcourt players, but in fact he wanted to use this to cheer them up. Li Jinyu was the first to understand, and took the lead in standing up and said loudly: "We will definitely continue to work hard and increase the score as soon as possible!" ”

"yes, that's right, we're going to get one, oh no, two, no, three!"

"Hahaha, let's try to score more points and make the opponent give up the game early. Then we will be able to reduce the pressure on our defense. Lao Zhang, did you say that? Haha, why don't you laugh? What do you think? ”

Sui Dongliang put his arm around Zhang Ran's neck, and Zhang Ran snorted two sentences with his nose, which was regarded as a response.

Seeing this, Zhu Guanghu was a little dissatisfied and said, "Zhang Ran, how did you do it?" As the vice-captain, why is he so unmotivated? ”

"Coach, I..."

"Alright, don't explain." Zhu Guanghu waved his hand, "Let's focus on offense in the second half, fight against the British, and see who stabs whose door first!" ”

"Zhang Ran, as the vice-captain and central defender, the responsibility of defense will be handed over to you."

"When we attack, the pressure on the back line will definitely be greater. You overcome it a lot, and when the front players score, we will switch to attack, and then your pressure will be reduced, clear? ”

"yes, that's clear."

"What do you say? I didn't hear it! Zhu Guanghu said loudly.

"Hear me clearly!" Zhang Ran suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.

Drink!

Everyone was startled by Zhang Ran's voice, Sui Dongliang was the closest to him and was hit the most.

At this moment, he looked at Zhang Ran's side face dumbly, and for a while he didn't know this teammate who got along day and night.

"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you..."

"I didn't have much!" Zhang Ran waved his hand, then looked at Zhu Guanghu's eyes, bounced up from the stool suddenly, and stood upright: "Report to the coach, Zhang Ran guarantees to complete the task!" ”

"Good, good, good!" Zhu Guanghu was stunned by Zhang Ran's voice first, and then saw Zhang Ran's statement, thinking that he had just failed to control his voice.

After getting Zhang Ran's reply, Zhu Guanghu's eyes were full of appreciation. "Yes, yes, worthy of being the captain of Jianlibao. Zhang Ran, you have to remember your words. If there's any hole in the back, I'll ask you. ”

"Good! If there is any loophole, I am fully responsible! Zhang Ran answered loudly again, and then sat down with his butt and stopped squeaking.

Seeing Zhang Ran like this, Zhu Guanghu nodded with satisfaction. took out a pen and pointed to the small blackboard to explain the offensive tactics of the second half.

While his teammates were listening carefully, Zheng Yi leaned over to Zhang Ran and whispered, "Lao Zhang, are you crazy?" How do you put all the responsibility on your shoulders? You say the coach is too, is he blind? In the first half, our defense line was torn apart and muddyed by the opponent's No. 9 so many times, couldn't he see it? ”

Zhang Ran still buried his face in the towel, and his towel was warm and stuffy at the moment, as if it had been heated by something.

"It's not that the coach can't see it, it's because he didn't score a goal, so he selectively forgets." After Zhang Ran explained, his tone changed, "Lao Zheng, no matter what, this is the task assigned to us by the organization, no matter how difficult it is, we must complete it, we can't drag the collective back, what do I have to do, do you know?" ”

"Got it." Although Zheng Yi was a little unwilling, he still nodded. Recalling the scene in the first half, his eyes revealed a touch of ferocity. "Don't worry, Captain, I'm here, it's on the left; I'm not there, and he doesn't want to go back to the left. ”

Zhang Ran raised his head and glanced at the vicious Zheng Yi, this time, he didn't say anything to stop it.

"Big head, you tell me the truth. How did you feel in the first half, did you have any comments or anything else you would like to say? ”

Li Weifeng shook his head.

"If you don't tell me the truth, I'll let Xiao Yi ask you!"

"Don't don't, don't call Brother Yi, don't call Brother Yi, don't bother him." Hearing the two words of discussion, Li Weifeng hurriedly shook his big head like a rattle.

"Then you should be sharp, if you have something to say, talk quickly and fart quickly. It's going to start in the second half, and you don't have a chance to say it's going to be a game. Ou Chuliang urged.

"I, I, I..." Li Weifeng glanced back at Zhang Ran, who bowed his head and recuperated, sighed and said in his heart: "I'm sorry vice captain." ”

Then he raised his head, and his face changed to a look of determination.

"Brother, we had a hard time defending in the first half. Against the opposing strikers and forwards, there are few good ways to defend. If you hadn't been behind us again and again, you might have given the other side the lead. ”

"You go on." Ou Chuliang nodded.

In the first half against England, Ou Chuliang made no fewer saves and interceptions than France, and the defensive range was much larger.

But the difference is that in the first half with the French team, Jianlibao had almost no power to fight back; In the game against England, he threatened the opponent's goal several times.

Since it was the same 45 minutes, it only showed that the pace of the game was faster, and often when one side defended successfully, it quickly launched a counterattack. With a large number of rounds of back-and-forth, the pressure will definitely be concentrated on players in a certain position, and there will be a significant loss of stamina.

Now the players who fancy the frontcourt have so much desire to attack, so happy. Needless to say, the pressure must have fallen on the defenders at the back. And looking at Zhang Ran's dying-looking appearance, Ou Chuliang once again affirmed his guess. Usually the guys who are in the top few in the physical fitness test are already out of breath just after halfway.

If it weren't for the fact that he bullied an organ of his body with two hands last night, the problem would have been in the first half of the game.

"The opponent's No. 9 is difficult for us to defend 1V1, and his left and right foot skills are good, and he can break through from the left and right sides."

"In addition, we often attack the front, and when the opponent counterattacks, there is basically no one at the back. There is such a big gap in the back, and the other party basically runs as much as they want? ”

"Besides, we can't send too many people to see him, otherwise people in other positions will miss out."

"Against such a speed player, if no one can keep up with his speed, Brother Ran said that the best way is to use dense defense, not only to limit his space with the ball, but also to limit his passing space and block the shooting route."

"But I sometimes can't get back when I plug it in, except that the iron comes back a little faster."

"Now it looks like the coach is going to continue attacking in the second half, and I don't want to stay in the back all the time."

Ou Chuliang listened to Li Weifeng's complaint and nodded thoughtfully.

He didn't feel much to deal with such a high-intensity game, but he had to take into account the thoughts and feelings of his teammates. Everyone is still a youth army, and their psychological resistance to pressure is not as good as that of the adult team.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ou Chuliang asked again.

"It's Brother Ran, Brother Ran won't let me say it." Since it has been "mutinied", then simply "betray" to the end.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Brother Ran said that depending on the coach, the attack will definitely be strengthened in the second half. If we take the initiative to defend ourselves, we will definitely sweep everyone's sex. Therefore, so Brother Ran asked me and Brother Zheng to keep their mouths shut, and they were not allowed to complain. ”

"What about Sun Jihai? Zhang Ran didn't tell Sun Jihai about this? ”

"Nope." Li Weifeng shook his head, "Brother Sun plays well and is assertive. Brother Ran said that even if he didn't tell him, Brother Sun wouldn't talk nonsense. ”

Ou Chuliang nodded, Zhang Ran was quite accurate. With Sun Jihai's arrogance, no matter what the situation, he will grit his teeth and persist to the end without a trace of complaints.

After understanding the situation, Ou Chuliang nodded.

At this time, Zhu Guanghu has already arranged the offensive tactics for the second half, and has also won the approval of most of the players.

Looking at the players in front of him who couldn't wait to perform in the second half, Zhu Guanghu encouraged again: "How to play in the second half, do you understand?" ”

"Listen, clear, white!"

"What do we want?"

"Attack! Attack, attack! ”

"Good!"

Zhu Guanghu smiled, morale is commendable, morale is commendable!

It seems that his wish to pretend to be "Xitl" in front of thousands of fans is about to come true.

At this moment, an untimely voice came from the crowd.

"Coach, I think we should consolidate our defense first and then look for offense in the second half."

As soon as the words rang out, the entire locker room fell silent.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Ou Chuliang's raised right hand.

"Chu Liang, what did you say?"

"Coach, I think we should focus on defense in the second half and use defensive counter-attacks to find goals."

"Why?" Zhu Guanghu frowned.

When the others said this, they would have scolded him back with his violent temper. But it was Ou Chuliang who said this, and he had to think about it seriously.

'Because our backline is overwhelmed.' Ou Chuliang stood up and replied lightly.

"Overwhelmed?" Zhu Guanghu's brows tightened, and he immediately set his eyes on Zhang Ran. "Zhang Ran, aren't you guaranteed to be good? How..."

"Coach, I didn't say anything, I don't have any opinion!" Zhang Ran hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.

Zhu Guanghu looked at Zhang Ran's anxious appearance, and felt more and more that he was talking behind his back.

Just when Zhu Guanghu wanted to scold him further, Ou Chuliang spoke again: "Coach, it has nothing to do with Zhang Ran. When I say overwhelmed, I mean that I am 'overwhelmed' myself. ”

As soon as Ou Chuliang said this, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"What? What's going on? As soon as Zhu Guanghu heard that Ou Chuliang had a problem, the nerves in his body immediately tensed, "Chuliang, what's going on?" Is it an old injury from the match against France? Or did you suffer some new injury in the first half and hide it from all of us? ”

Seeing that Zhu Guanghu was so worried about himself, Ou Chuliang shook his head and said, "It's not injured, it's not an injury." ”

"What's that?"

"Coach, our speed of switching between attack and defense is a little slow." Ou Chuliang analyzed, "Especially when counterattacking quickly, the opposing striker often has a lot of space to choose from, and our players can't defend at all." ”

"Slow to switch between offense and defense?" Zhu Guanghu groaned, "Zhang Ran, can you be clever when you switch between offense and defense?" Wouldn't it be possible to take a step a little further and anticipate in advance? ”

"No problem coach, I'm fine!" Zhang Ran immediately responded.

Ou Chuliang still shook his head, "Coach, it's not Zhang Ran's problem..."

"Whose problem is that? Li Weifeng? Zheng Yi? Or Sun Jihai? There was a hint of majesty in Zhu Guanghu's voice, "Chu Liang, don't be afraid, there is one thing to say." Who can't keep up with the rhythm, I see if he can change it. If you can't change it, you can change to a full-strength game, I don't believe it, can't you run faster? ”

"Coach, it's not a problem with the back line." Ou Chuliang shook his head again and vetoed.

"Not the back line? That's the midfield?! Zhu Guanghu turned his head to look at Li Tie and the others.

"Coach, we run hard every time we defend. You can also see that except for Li Tie, we have basically attacked the opponent's penalty area. When the opponent passes with a big foot, it is impossible for people to keep up with the speed of the ball, right? ”

What Sui Dongliang said was the truth, and Zhu Guanghu also nodded after listening.

"Chu Liang, in the end, isn't it still a problem with the guard line? Zhang Ran, they should be diligent and run more, and this matter will be solved, and you don't need to run out of the penalty area every time to help them defend. Even if he anticipates a second in advance, he can shovel the ball out of bounds near midfield. When the time comes, what is not there is time to defend? ”

"Yes, Brother Ou, you don't have to look at the opposing striker to death, as long as someone destroys the ball." The rest of the teammates should join in.

Seeing his teammates coaxing, Ou Chuliang said softly: "Then in the first half, how many balls did you intercept in the midfield?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the entire locker room became silent.

A few players counted on their fingers, and when they got the result, they all lowered their heads and blushed.

"Li Tie, how many did you say?" Ou Chuliang said by name.

Li Tie stood up and said in a deep voice: "0." In the first half, we didn't stop a counter-attack in midfield. ”

Hearing this number, even Zhu Guanghu's face couldn't help but become hot.

Ou Chuliang continued: "England forwards and defenders are mostly speed players, who use their speed and skill to break through, and the large vacuum at the back is just what they like to see. ”

"Whether it's Irving, Dyer or right-back Daniel Murphy, all three have the ability to single-handedly beat our defenders with their pace."

"After they break through, if the centre-backs don't make up for it, it's basically a one-handed one-on-one shot."

'If you don't notice that in the second half, they will definitely take advantage of the gap. When the time comes, I will have three heads and six arms, and I will not be able to guard against them. ”

Hearing Ou Chuliang say this, Zhu Guanghu also realized the crisis.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Zhang Ran, you tell me the truth." Can you defend against people? ”

"Coach, I..."

In such a public, Zhu Guanghu asked a main central defender if he could defend against the opponent's striker. Maybe Zhu Guanghu was just unintentional, but even if Zhang Ran couldn't prevent such an explicit problem, he had to grit his teeth and say that he could prevent it.

For a while, Zhang Ran was roasted on the fire by Zhu Guanghu, and the vice captain of Jianlibao had a blue face and a red face, and he didn't answer for a long time.

"Zhang Ran, there is not much time for the intermission, you hurry up. I don't blame you if you can't prevent it, don't delay everyone's time. ”

Seeing Zhu Guanghu's urging, Zhang Ran raised his head, as if he had made up his mind, "Coach, I..."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, another voice suddenly sounded: "Coach, I can't prevent it." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, Zheng Yi on the side didn't know when to stand up, and said loudly: "Coach, whether it's the No. 9 Owen or anyone else, when they break through 1V1, it's hard for me to watch except for fouls." ”

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Zheng Yi had such a big vacuum behind him, even if Owen dribbled in front of him, he would be able to pass two moves. But in the end, Zheng Yi did not say these objective reasons. Instead, he loudly admits his inadequacy in the 1v1 confrontation in front of his teammates and coaches.

As soon as Zheng Yi spoke, the locker room fell silent again.

The rest of the team began to think about whether they could defend themselves against Owen when they faced Owen in 1v1.

Thinking about the situation in the first half and his own ability, everyone was silent. Zheng Yi, a speed-oriented defender, can't stand it, let alone anyone else.

"Zheng Yi, you..."

"Captain, don't talk about it." Zheng Yi looked at Zhang Ran and gave him a look, "It's my lack of ability that drags down the back line." I'll admit that I can't stand the opposing striker, and if we don't do anything, I'm sure our left side will be beaten into a sieve in the second half! ”

Zheng Yi opened his mouth for Zhang Ran's face, and Zhu Guanghu, who had been floating in the utilitarian field for many years, could still see it. But even then, he had to start thinking about it seriously.

Zheng Yi can't hold it, who will go up to guard it?

Hao Wei?

Hao Wei can't run away!

In an instant, a good situation, Zhu Guanghu suddenly felt that it was in danger and extremely tricky.

After thinking about it for a while and not thinking of a solution, Zhu Guanghu had to ask again: "Then Chu Liang, what do you say?" ”

"It's simple." Ou Chuliang has already thought of a countermeasure, "Just like the coach said, strengthen the midfield interception and improve the speed of offensive and defensive conversion." ”

'But it's not done by the back line, it's done by the whole team.

"After an unsuccessful attack, especially the person who loses the ball, you have to counter-attack on the spot to buy time for the defense."

"Defending forwards, defending forwards, defending at the back, all three lines are defending first, providing three barriers for the back line. In this way, even if the opponent launches a long pass, our players have time to deal with it. What's more, if you defend in this way, it will be difficult for the opposing team to play quality long balls. ”

"That's... Will the physical exertion be faster? Zhu Guanghu said with some concern.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." Ou Chuliang said softly, "Although we have played five games, our players have a lot of physical reserves and are capable of making full-court pressing." If someone is physically exhausted, be sure to speak up first and then bring in a new team member. Even if we all lack physical strength in the end, we must focus on defensive counterattacks and no longer fight positional battles with the opponent. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Guanghu understood.

If you still want to attack in the second half, you can either take a more physically demanding full-court press, or shrink the defense line and bite the defensive counterattack.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Guanghu was still a little reluctant.

Obviously he can have a fierce collision with the other party, but now he has to retreat to a corner to seek a counterattack, he can make such a decision, but can the fans agree?

After thinking about it, Zhu Guanghu still opened his mouth and asked: "It's not impossible to press in the front court, but I have to ask, do you have this certainty for a few of you front court players?" ”

Sun Zhi and Li Jinyu glanced at each other, and neither of them squeaked.

At this time, the discussion suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Don't worry, coach, I will definitely be able to complete the task!" ”

Shi Yi looked at Ou Chuliang, his face flushed.

Just now, I wanted to take a breath and tear up and stack some defenses. But now that he found that this kind of attack that ignored the backcourt had brought so much trouble and crisis to Ou Chuliang, he stood up without giving in, patting his chest and making guarantees.

"Okay, discuss one, what about the others?"

Seeing that the discussion took the lead, Sun Zhi also shook his teeth, "Coach, I should be fine." The pace and skill of their defenders are not very good, so I think we can take advantage of it. While the opponent has not yet stabilized the ball, it should be fine to interfere with the opponent's long pass. ”

"Me too."

"I'm fine."

Li Jinyu, Sui Dongliang, Zhang Xiaorui and others also spoke out one after another. In order to continue the offensive, they had to take on more responsibility.

"That's good." Zhu Guanghu patted his thigh, "Then let's do it first." ”

"In the second half, we were still attack-oriented, but at the moment of conceding the ball, the front-court players had to counter-attack on the spot. If I find someone who is not positive, warn once. But if two of them don't do it, let's go back and fight back defensively, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The big guys said in unison.

"Okay Chu Liang, do you have any questions?" Zhu Guanghu looked at Ou Chuliang gently, his violent temper could be angry with anyone, but to Ou Chuliang, he always had a consultative tone.

"There's no coach." Ou Chuliang shook his head, glanced at Zhang Ran, and shrugged his shoulders again, "I believe that in this way, my pressure will be reduced a lot." ”

"Okay, that's it." Zhu Guanghu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Either way, he didn't want to see his players become defensive in the second half. If you still lose in the end, it will be too embarrassing!

"Jingle Bell Ring..."

Just then, the bell rang for the start of the second half. The team members were in high spirits and stood up one by one, with high morale.

"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous." Zhu Guanghu finally said loudly.

"I wish you all a victorious start to the second half and reach the final!"

"Winning the !! to the final" Everyone yelled as hard as they could.

After Zhu Guanghu finished speaking, he stood guard at the door, watching the players walk in front of him one after another, and high-fived and encouraged each player.

In the dim and narrow players' tunnel, Zhang Ran and Zheng Yi came behind Ou Chuliang at some point and pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Oh, Brother Ou, thank you." Zhang Ran said softly, "If it weren't for you, Lao Zheng Zhen and I wouldn't know what to do in the second half." Maybe..."

"Thanks for what? What is there to be thankful for? Ou Chuliang shook his head with a smile and pointed to the sign on his shoulder, "Don't forget, I'm your captain." ”
