Chapter 574: Further Changes

While no player wants to be plagued by injury, as an attacking player who is known for his breakthroughs, there is still a high chance of being fouled by an opponent during a game. Especially when encountering the brutal defensive actions of the defenders, the chance of injury increases exponentially.

Therefore, Feng Quan, who has suffered many malicious violations from his opponent in two consecutive games, is ready to buy [Rehabilitation Materia Medica] in order to shorten the recovery time when he encounters an injury.

Although the price of 30 skill points is very high, Feng Quan has accumulated 29 skill points after breaking the men's 100m world record again at the Oslo Diamond League and winning the 200m event for the first time. As long as Feng Quan casually participates in another track and field event and wins a championship, he can gather the skill points required for [Rehabilitation Materia Medica].

However, even though [Rehabilitation Materia Medica] can greatly shorten the time for injury recovery, Feng Quan still hopes to avoid the occurrence of injuries as much as possible.

In addition to preparing to buy [Rehabilitation Materia Medica] for his backhand, Feng Quan is also ready to change his style of play that likes to break through with the ball to avoid repeating the mistake of alien Ronaldo's frequent injuries.

Moreover, don't look at Feng Quan, who won the La Liga Golden Boot last season with 51 goals, and also set a single-season goal record in the Champions League with 23 goals, but in the eyes of many world-famous football celebrities, Feng Quan's status in world football is still not comparable to Messi and Ronaldo.

In the eyes of these celebrities, although Feng Quan's current strength is enough to rank among the ranks of world-class stars, Feng Quan's goals still rely more on his superior speed advantage, and then score goals through counterattacks.

If it weren't for Atletico Madrid's Europe-winning backline, it would have been difficult for Feng Quan to get so many counter-attacking opportunities.

Therefore, if Feng Quan can't further enrich his offensive means, even if he scores more goals in the new season, he still can't surpass Messi and Ronaldo's status in world football.

Of course, changing the style of play is not something that can be decided by Feng Quan alone, and it must be approved by manager Diego Simeone.

So, after the match against Olympiacos, Feng Quan informed Diego Simeone of his thoughts.

"BOSS, you have also seen in the last two games, the number of times the opponent uses foul kills to prevent me from breaking through has increased significantly, which greatly increases the risk of my injury." As he spoke, Feng Quan also pointed to his somewhat swollen ankle. "So I want to make some changes in the future, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to say goodbye to professional football in a few years."

In fact, even if Feng Quan didn't take the initiative to find him, Diego Simeone was preparing to make Feng Quan reduce the number of breakthroughs in the game, even if Feng Quan's speed was not really lightning fast, and it was impossible to avoid all the opponent's plots. didn't think about it, before Diego Simeone could speak, Feng Quan actually took the initiative to find himself.

"Wind, you have a point." After a pause, Simeone continued: "Actually, even if you don't come to me, I will be about to talk to you about this when I return to Madrid, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative. I'd love to hear how you plan to change yourself? ”

"First of all, I want to reduce the number of dribbles and more attempts to get in front of goal. At the same time, when attacking in position, the number of activities in the middle is further increased, rather than more on the two flanks as before. Feng Quan said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Diego Simeone couldn't help but nod approvingly, because what Feng Quan said was basically very close to what he imagined.

In the past, Diego Simeone did not recommend that Feng Quan try to increase his attempts to grab points in front of goal, although some players are born with a far more than ordinary sense of goal, but it is clear that Feng Quan is not such a player.

For those who are not born "opportunists", they must rely on a lot of game experience as an accumulation in order to gradually improve their sense of smell. In Diego Simeone's view, Feng Quan's time in football is still very short, and his accumulated game experience is still a little lacking.

Although Diego Simeone doesn't want to admit it, Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed the best template for Fengquan's future development. After all, the Portuguese king at the time of his debut was also known for his sharp breakthroughs on the wing, and as he grew older and accumulated game experience, among all his goals, the proportion of goal-flanking and grabbing points to score goals has become increasingly prominent.

Although the change in Ronaldo's style of play is closely related to the fact that the advantage of age is no longer obvious, it is the most critical factor in his transformation that he repeatedly encounters the black feet of his opponents when he breaks through. Therefore, Feng Quan was able to realize this problem so quickly, which made him very happy.

In addition, Feng Quan's desire to increase the proportion of attacks in the middle is also very much in line with Simeone's appetite, after all, with Feng Quan's ability to score from free kicks today, even opponents will have some hesitation about using foul tactics against him.

As a result, Diego Simeone not only readily agreed to Fengquan's proposal, but also made a new attempt in the subsequent group confrontation practice within the team.

…………

At 7 p.m. on September 20, the fourth round of La Liga Atletico Madrid hosted Celta as scheduled.

With Celta de Vigo not playing in this season's Champions League, they are significantly more fit than the hosts, who have just experienced a Champions League game in midweek.

So, with the advantage of physical fitness, Celta, who were playing away, launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid in the opening stage, in a vain attempt to seize the opponent's unstable foothold to make a difference.

However, because Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone had already guessed the opponent's plan and had already set a game strategy before the game to stabilize the defense in the opening stage and wait until the opponent's momentum was waning before launching the attack, so the onslaught of the Celta team did not form a substantial threat.

As the game wore on, the dominant Atletico Madrid team not only quickly regained the initiative of the game, but also quickly broke the deadlock on the field.

In the 16th minute of the first half, Feng Quan did not choose to break through after receiving Mandzukic's header on the left side of the front field, but passed the ball to Alda Turan, who received nearby, and went directly into the opponent's penalty area.

Alda Turran, who received the pass, faked a long-range shot from the periphery to deceive the defender with his legs, and then passed the ball to Griezmann, who was ambushed near the corner of the box on the right.

In previous games, whenever Griezmann picked up the ball in this position, he either chose to cut inside or pass the ball to Mandzukic in front of goal. But this time, Griezmann flicked a shot and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area near the baseline, where the defense was relatively empty.

Just when the Celta players thought that Griezmann's pass would fly directly out of the bottom line, Feng Quan, who had already inserted into the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest when the ball was about a meter from the bottom line.

Immediately afterwards, when the two Celta players closest to Feng Quan came to their senses and pounced violently, Feng Quan accurately found the gap in the opponent's defense and passed the ball to Mandzukic who was ambushed 8 meters in front of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Alvarez pounced on Mandzukic when the wind was full of balls, he was unable to prevent the Croatian striker from opening the scoring.
