Chapter 507: Physical exhaustion
Facing Pepe, who came to make up for the defense, Feng Quan made three consecutive feints to pedal the bike, and then immediately flicked the ball diagonally with the outside of his right foot, and then wiped it from the opponent's left side.
The next moment, when Casillas, who abandoned the goal, was still five or six meters away from him, Feng Quan immediately made a feint with a powerful volley.
When Casillas reflexively lowered his center of gravity in the process of attacking, ready to meet the "burst" of the wind, he was surprised to see the football draw a graceful arc in the air over his head, and then grazed the lower edge of the goal crossbar and fell into the net.
While Feng Quan was celebrating the goal with his teammates, the team's coach Diego Simeone made another personnel adjustment.
Considering that he would have to play two games in a row over the next six days, Diego Simeone replaced the Brazilian international Diego, who had just joined the team, with a significant drop in stamina.
With the arrival of Diego, Atletico Madrid, who adjusted the team's formation to 5-4-1, also set up a "bus" in their own 30-meter area.
Although the pressure on Real Madrid's defense was greatly reduced, after all the players of the Atletico Madrid team except Griezmann were involved in the defense, they could only continue to threaten the opponent's goal by grabbing points in front of the goal after wide crosses.
Although Morata pulled a goal back after receiving Carvajal's cross from the right on the 41st minute of the second half, the suspense of the game was renewed.
However, as soon as the game resumed, Diego replaced the team's only striker, Griezmann, with Thiago at the back.
As a result, after Atletico Madrid put on a purely defensive lineup of "5-5-0", until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Real Madrid failed to complete a shot that hit the goal frame range.
…………
Although Feng Quan didn't play the whole game, he didn't even bother to say a word after the game.
In previous games, Diego Simeone, although he occasionally involved Feng Quan in the team's defense, only asked him to return to his own half to make a "formal" defense, and did not really let him retreat to the 30-meter area of his own side for a "substantial" defense.
The reason why Diego Simeone made such an arrangement is that Feng Quan must be ready to counterattack at any time, and once he retreats too deeply, it will inevitably affect the speed and efficiency of the counterattack.
On the other hand, Feng Quan's own defensive ability is very limited, and instead of wasting his precious physical strength on defense that is not very good, it is better to let him retain his physical strength to better participate in the attack.
And today, because he was worried that Xu Xin would be "blown up" by C. Ronaldo and Di Maria, he retreated to the 30-meter area of his side five times to help his "little fellow" to assist in defense.
Since switching to football last year, under the guidance of Jonas Kessler, Feng Quan's [stamina] attribute has improved a lot, and if he uses all his energy to attack, he will not feel too tired even if he plays a full 90 minutes of high-intensity games.
Although in the previous game, Feng Quan also felt very tired after the game because of Diego Simeone's request to participate in the team's defense. However, as long as you can quickly replenish a large amount of nutritious food, and then get a good night's sleep, the fatigue of the next morning will be greatly reduced.
But in today's game, due to the relationship between retreating to the 30-meter area of his own side many times to help Xu Xin assist in defense, coupled with the fact that this is the 6th game he has participated in in the past 18 days, and the "side effects" brought by the use of [Great God's Light], Feng Quan felt the feeling of being "overdrawn" for the first time.
In order to verify his judgment, Feng Quan immediately entered the system after returning home to check his [physical function].
Sure enough, as Feng Quan expected, his "physical state value" at the moment actually dropped to 57 points (extremely poor state: speed, strength, endurance, reflexes, flexibility, and explosiveness 6 attributes reduced by 3% to 10%).
Although you can purchase [Status Recovery Potion] by consuming skill points, it will help you improve your physical condition to "good" status as soon as possible. But Feng Quan, who is bent on improving the level of [Great God's Light], how can he be willing to waste valuable skill points?
However, he also knows very well that it is difficult to restore his body to a "good" state within 3 days without using the props provided by the system, just by taking a lot of nutrients and getting enough rest. Although even the "average" Feng Quan is enough to crush Almeria's defenders, this will not only further reduce Feng Quan's physical condition, but also delay the speed of his physical recovery.
After a short "ideological struggle", Feng Quan finally made up his mind, immediately picked up the mobile phone next to the bed, and then dialed the phone of the team's coach Diego Simeone.
Even though it was almost early in the morning, Diego Simeone was not annoyed that Feng Quan suddenly disturbed his rest, because he knew very well that Feng Quan would not call him so late if there was nothing important.
"I'm so sorry to call you so late." Feng Quanyu said apologetically.
"It's okay, I know you must have something important, otherwise you wouldn't have called me so late." Diego Simeone said in a calm tone.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Quan slowly spoke: "BOSS, I feel very tired after today's game. So, I hope I don't have to be included in the 18-man squad against Almeria, and only a good rest will allow my body to return to normal as soon as possible. ”
After a slight pause, Feng Quan continued: "Of course, I won't have any complaints if you ask me to play, but with my current poor physical condition, I am worried that my performance will be ......"
Before Feng Quan could finish speaking, Diego Simeone smiled and "rushed" to answer: "Are you worried that you will regret leaving the team?" ”
"Hey, that's right."
"Wind, you're a very hard worker, I know that very well."
After a pause, Diego Simeone continued: "Long before you scored that spoon goal, I could already tell from your off-the-ball run that you were in terrible shape. So, even if you don't score that goal, I'll replace you after Thiago finishes the warm-up. ”
"Actually, even if you hadn't mentioned it to me, I didn't intend to take you to Almeria. However, since you have offered it yourself, you will let me stay at home and sleep from tomorrow onwards. And, until the end of the match against Almeria, I won't allow you to be in Espino. ”
