Chapter 2 (24)
The defeat in the warm-up game did not cause much trouble for the team, and in the subsequent group stage, the new era continued their previous good fortune, first with a thrilling 2-1 victory over their first opponent in the finals, then with a 3-1 victory over the second three points, and stubbornly held on to the draw in the third game, and finally, they won the group by a narrow goal difference over Chengdu Ipsen. In doing so, they were in a good position in the finals, successfully avoiding the top spot in the other group, Changsha Qinyuan, who have been in almost insane form of late, scoring eight goals in three group games......
This is already the best result that Zheng Changsheng and they are looking forward to. According to Sun Junshan, all this is like a dream, and this dream has not woken up, and it can continue to be done.
The team's next opponent is Qingdao Double Happiness, an old opponent who is familiar with both tactics and personnel. Seriously speaking, it is still a strong team that has been recognized before the start of this league to give the new era confidence and hope, if it were not for the double happiness of Qingdao in the qualifiers, the new era may not have come to Chengdu to compete for the two A B places...... I just don't know if this new era can get another surprise from Qingdao Double Happiness.
Everyone is looking forward to another surprise, but everyone understands that although Qingdao Double Happiness is still the same Qingdao Double Happiness, the new era is no longer the new era it used to be, and the team is now facing an extremely bad problem - the lineup is not complete......
The line-up is not in order, it's just a less harsh-sounding statement, but in reality the situation is far more serious and serious than that. Foreign striker Seryosha suffered a recurrence of his leg injury in the third group game, and even the most optimistic estimate of the team doctor will require him to rest for seven to ten days, which means that he will miss at least one or two games in the finals - hey, Seryosha, who has just gotten better, is the team's top scorer in the group stage, and he alone accounted for half of the four goals, and his absence will not only make the team lose a firepower point, but also Zheng Changsheng's forward line designed for the team will become lame. What made Zheng Changsheng even more headache was that the left forward Chen Mingcan is still lying in the hospital - in the second game, the opponent who had no hope of qualifying made a big move, Chen Mingcan was kicked in the face by the opponent in a scramble, and fainted on the spot, and then the hospital gave a diagnosis report of a broken nose bridge and a mild concussion, and he will definitely not be able to participate in training matches for a month - this is actually announcing that his league this year has ended. With Chen Mingcan, there is also the tactics that the old coach has always adhered to: "the combination of high and fast forwards, and the two wings dominate the attack". Zheng Changsheng thought about it again and again, but in the end, he couldn't find a reliable candidate to fill the vacancy on the left side. There is also the right wing-back, who is suspended for accumulating three yellow cards, Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo have been together for a night, and they still can't think of a proper guy to replace the position......
The two even argued over who should act as the left midfielder.
Dai Zhenguo insisted that Gao Jinsong was the best fit for the position. His reason is very simple, the original intention of the team to recruit Gao Jinsong was to let him be used as Chen Mingcan's replacement, and now is the time for him to come in handy.
Zheng Changsheng disagreed with this plan. He believes that the other striker who substitutes Seryosha has the same height advantage as Zhang Chi, which will make the team suffer a lot when competing for the high-altitude ball in the frontcourt, so Gao Jinsong, who is in good physical condition, should be placed in a position higher than the front waist, in addition to organizing the attack and connecting the echo, he also has to take the responsibility of competing for the first landing point of the ball. As for the position of the left wing-back, it is completely possible for the current right midfielder Ma Cheng to take over, and the position of Ma Cheng can be replaced by the current forward player. The primary task of the two flanks is also no longer to dominate the attack, but to assist and coordinate the attack.
The plan proposed by the old coach completely subverted his previous tactical arrangement, and he had not discussed it beforehand, so no one spoke in a hurry, just stared at the scribbled diagram drawn by Zheng Changsheng on the small blackboard. On the blackboard, the Arabic numeral "12", which symbolizes Gao Jinsong, was advanced much by Zheng Changsheng and almost embedded between the numbers of the two strikers.
Except for Sun Junshan, who seems to understand whether he understands or not, Dai Zhenguo and the goalkeeper coach both smell something unusual from it.
After a long time, the goalkeeper coach asked uncertainly: "This...... This isn't 'four-four-two', is it? ”
Zheng Changsheng didn't talk. Even he didn't know what kind of formation this was, and he also wanted to figure out whether Gao Jinsong in this position was a midfielder or a striker? But one thing he knew very well was that this picture was definitely not smeared on his whim, but what he really thought in his heart - Gao Jinsong's position was there, only a little further back than the two strikers.
"Coach Zheng wants to make a desperate bet to play three forwards?" As soon as this thought came to Dai Zhenguo's mind, he immediately let him deny it. It is impossible for the cautious Zheng Changsheng to do such an arrogant thing in such a major game, and Gao Jinsong's position does not look like a striker, he also has to bear the team's front and back connection and offensive organization, from this responsibility, Gao Jinsong is still a midfielder. But as a midfielder, Gao Jinsong's position is too forward, and he is completely facing the opponent's back line, which is a characteristic that only a striker should have......
Confused and confused, Dai Zhenguo was not ambiguous at all on other issues, and he immediately put his opinion on the table: "In this case, Ma Cheng's advantages cannot be brought into play, and because of the unfamiliar sense of position, maybe the players will not be suitable on the field!" "He didn't fit in himself. Not only did he not adapt to the new tactics proposed by Zheng Changsheng, but he also did not adapt to the new concepts contained in this new tactics -- Zheng Changsheng suddenly made a 180-degree turn in his tactical guiding ideology, and directly changed from emphasizing the balance between offense and defense to advocating offense.
Sun Junshan sat aside and didn't speak, but glanced at Dai Zhenguo intentionally or unintentionally. The goalkeeper coach also glanced at Dai Zhenguo, and then looked at the old coach who was still looking at the blackboard silently, smacking his lips, but didn't say anything.
Zheng Changsheng really hasn't considered the question of whether the players can adapt to this tactic immediately, but it's not a big problem. He pondered for a moment and said, "I will elaborate on the precautions for this set of tactics in the preparatory meeting. We have three days left to train to get them familiar with and remember their position, and as for the results, that can only be tested by the competition. ”
Let the game test new tactics? Dai Zhenguo couldn't accept this reason, he felt that Zheng Changsheng was too arbitrary and whimsical! He still insisted on his opinion: "I still think '442' and 'wing-led attack' are more advantageous. As for the reason, he cited two points, "First, after so many games, the players are familiar with this set of tactics; Second, the results of so many games have proved that this tactic works. There is another meaning in this remark, Dai Zhenguo is implicitly reminding Zheng Changsheng that a sudden change of tactics at this critical moment can sometimes lead to unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.
Of course, Zheng Changsheng also heard this kind reminder, but he did not waver in his determination at all. He patiently explained to Dai Zhenguo: "We are not giving up the two sides, but just advancing Gao Jinsong's position, so that we will be slightly better off in the control of the high-altitude ball in the front court; The other two wings are still tasked with assisting in the attack," he said, using chalk to draw long arrows on the wingers' number rings on the blackboard, indicating that the burden on their shoulders had not lightened. "And in doing so, we have three midfielders in front of the back line as a barrier, so we can better intercept the opponent......"
"But it actually changed tactics!" Dai Zhenguo argued loudly, "You shifted the core of the attack from the two sides to the middle, and suddenly let Gao Jinsong take on such a big burden, will this make him unable to control his emotions in such an important game and make some low-level mistakes?" ”
Sun Junshan and the goalkeeper coach exchanged glances. In their opinion, the current Dai Zhenguo is a person who can't control his emotions. It's strange, Dai Zhenguo has always been optimistic about Gao Jinsong, why did he jump out against Zheng Changsheng at this time and entrust Gao Jinsong with a heavy responsibility? After a little thought, both of them understood that at the critical time in front of them, when they took a step forward to heaven and a step back to hell, people will always unconsciously expose their most essential character - Dai Zhenguo is afraid of making mistakes and taking responsibility, so he insists on "442" and opposes Zheng Changsheng's reuse of Gao Jinsong, even if the final result is contrary to his expectations, he also hopes that this result will come naturally; Zheng Changsheng is another kind of person, although he usually seems to be conservative and sluggish, and he is not very receptive to other people's opinions and suggestions, but at the critical moment, he can make changes without hesitation, even if this change will be inconsistent with his own consistent statements and practices, he will not waver a little, and he will resolutely implement this change! This is also the basic condition that you should have as a manager.
Seeing that Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo were deadlocked and no one could convince anyone, the goalkeeper coach said: "I think it's a very good idea to move Gao Jinsong's position forward, at that distance, his long-range shooting ability can also be better played, and his cooperation with Zhang Chi will be more threatening...... This actually shows his attitude. Once again, the goalkeeper coach is on the same page as the head coach. And the reason why he made such a decision is not because the positions of the two or whose words are more reasonable, but because he also feels that the team's tactics need to be adjusted: in the past three games, the new era has conceded goals in every game, and the old tactics and lineups have been thoroughly studied by the opponent......
Sun Junshan, who was stared at by Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo, thought for a while and said, "I also agree with Zheng's plan. He couldn't come up with any strong reasons, but he felt that he should trust the old coach, and the old man would never harm him. Of course, Zheng Changsheng is even less likely to endanger the club and the team. As for why he didn't change sooner or later, he had to change at this time, Sun Junshan thought that Zheng Changsheng must have his reasons for doing this......
Dai Zhenguo, who is lonely, can only accept this fact.
The next thing was easy to do, and several coaches re-discussed all the details, and finally established this formation between "four-three-three" and "four-one-two-one-two", and also established Gao Jinsong's new position in the team - the tactical core.
***********
Right now, Zheng Changsheng is standing on the edge of the field with his hands behind his back, patiently waiting for his players to play. Because of his poor sleep, his eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes were still very sharp. His face was also a little gray, with a slight unusually pale, like a man who had been sick for a long time. In fact, his health is really not very good these days, because of the intense work and lack of adequate rest, his stomach problems have recurred, and he almost vomits as much as he eats. Considering his age and physical condition, the team doctor recommended that he be hospitalized. The old coach didn't listen to the advice of the team doctor, and he didn't even ask the team doctor to prescribe him medicine - after battling stomach problems for so many years, he had his own set of effective treatments. He had people buy a small, thin biscuit to carry with him, and if he felt sick to his stomach or was hungry, he would touch a few cookies to coax his stomach.
“…… New Era Team, No. 1 ......" The announcer's dry voice rang out in the stadium, and there was a burst of cheer from the disrepair-looking and dilapidated stands behind them.
As usual, the old coach greeted each of his players calmly, looked at them, nodded, or smiled encouragingly. He even slapped his hands with Wei Honglin's slightly rusty movements. Only when Gao Jinsong came on the court, he specially advised: "Don't be nervous!" And patted Gao Jinsong on the shoulder, showing his trust in him.
Gao Jinsong grinned at the old coach.
It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle to announce the start of the game and watched Zhang Chi pull the ball to foreign aid Seryosha, and then Seryosha turned the ball to Wei Honglin, that Zheng Changsheng returned to his seat. He habitually pulled out the cigarette case from his jacket pocket, shook one out and put it in his mouth, and then fumbled up and down for a lighter. Dai Zhenguo, who was sitting next to him, had already handed over the fire. Zheng Changsheng pouted, then shook his head hesitantly, stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case, reached out and took out a bag of biscuits that had been torn open from the backpack hanging on the armrest of the seat, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The match entered a fierce confrontation from the first minute, more precisely, the new era pressed the opponent to play.
The two teams have met before and are familiar with each other, and it is no secret that the current difficult situation of insufficient manpower in the new era cannot be a secret, so the head coach of Qingdao Shuangxi has arranged several core players in the new era in advance and arranged special players to mark the defense, such as the back of his team is Gao Jinsong, who has a deep memory of death. The bad thing is that it is bad in this "look at death" order, Gao Jinsong's position is so forward, and his Shuangxi back is almost about to become the defender of his own team, which makes Qingdao Shuangxi appear in the middle of the midfield A large blank area, so that the two fullbacks in the new era can be easily inserted, but if the Shuangxi back abandons Gao Jinsong and fights for the midfield, the defender behind him will immediately face Gao Jinsong directly - Gao Jinsong has performed a delicate footwork, Facing the opponent's tall central defender on the edge of the penalty area, a flick of the right foot made the central defender run in the wrong direction, and the shot on the left heel was even more concise and sharp, but fortunately, the goalkeeper of Double Happiness was focused, and smashed the ball out with both fists clenched and leaning over......
In the eleventh minute, the new era got the best opportunity since the start of the game: Wei Honglin made a long pass in the midfield; Gao Jinsong successfully competed for the landing point outside the middle penalty area, and the header was ferried; Ma Cheng, who followed up, grabbed the second landing point and quickly passed it to Zhang Chi who was diagonally in the forbidden area from the other direction; Zhang Chi stopped the ball and when he was about to shoot again, the two double happiness players had already pounced on him to block his shooting route......
Ay! Zheng Changsheng, who had already stood up, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and could no longer hide his disappointed expression. Zhang Chi's movements are too grinding! What a great opportunity that is......
Dai Zhenguo, who was equally disappointed with him, handed over a cigarette and cheered up the old man with a forced smile: "It's okay, we have more opportunities!" "It's also cheering for himself and the people next to him.
Zheng Changsheng took the cigarette, but after all, he couldn't hold back the smoking addiction that was surging upward, so he leaned on the lighter in Dai Zhenguo's hand and lit the fire, inhaled deeply, and let the choking smell of tobacco permeate his entire chest. He'll feel better that way.
Gao Jinsong asked Zhang Chi loudly while looking back and running: "What are you doing when you stop the ball!" Why don't you just shoot at the goal?! ”
Zhang Chi, who knew that he had done something stupid and missed the opportunity, couldn't even bother to reply, gritted his teeth and chased after the double happiness No. 10 with the ball.
It wasn't until the ball was passed to the backcourt of the new era that the head coach of Qingdao Shuangxi finally cleared his breath. Zheng Changsheng's old fox methods are too vicious, and if he doesn't pay attention, he almost fell into his trap - he is a three-forward tactic! That Gao Jinsong was actually beaten into a center forward by the old guy! Fortunately, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who went to worship the day before yesterday had a miracle and blessed themselves to survive this catastrophe, otherwise, it would be a big trouble! He beckoned to a member of the team who was running in front of him, whispered a few important words, and shouted at the team members to keep their formation tight and not let their opponents easily tear out the gaps. Only if you don't give your opponent a chance, then you can't lose this game!
Yes, hold on! Dead or alive have to hold the first half, Qingdao Double Happiness Coach played this idea! His players are far younger than their opponents, and when the game enters the second half, they will wait until the opponent's old players can't keep up with their physical strength, and then they will solve this old opponent who almost can't come to Chengdu!
In the face of Qingdao Double Happiness, which is bent on sticking to the past in the first half, the new era has not been grasped. After the opponent's formation is closed, the range of movement of their frontcourt players is compressed, even if it is difficult to find a gap in the defensive line, or rely on the frequent interspersed running of the players to tear out a slight gap, but the double happiness players have been playing together since childhood, and the cooperation and protection between each other are very tacit, and the players next to them will immediately fill this gap - this means that it is unlikely that the successful breakthrough is unlikely. Ma Cheng and Wei Honglin and the right midfielder harass the opponent with long-range shots from time to time, but this kind of attempt will be difficult to work for a while, in addition to the reason that there are too many people inside and outside the penalty area, their long-range shooting ability is really not very good.
It is not impossible to solve this kind of dense defense, such as using the width and depth of the court to mobilize the opponent and make their formation gradually looser, but the defensive back Wei Honglin is obviously not a person who does this kind of delicate work, and Ma Cheng, who is not rough in technique, does not have a good overall view, as for the central midfielder who changed to play right midfield, he lacks a sense of rhythm and enough patience. There are players in the New Era Club who have good skills, a good view of the big picture, a relatively broad vision, and can sensitively grasp the rhythm and have patience and patience, but this player is currently jumping around on the edge of the penalty area of Qingdao Shuangxi for a header. The old coach gave him a position that looked like the core of the tactics, but never said that he was the core, let alone granted him the privileges that the core players should have, so he had no right to change the tactical arrangement set before the game, and could only work hard to do his duty in the encirclement of the opponent......
In the 41st minute, Qingdao Shuangxi intercepted the ball in defense and quickly launched a counterattack;
Wei Honglin's entanglement of Double Happiness No. 10 deprived the opponent of the best opportunity to counterattack, Guan Mingshan and another central defender have blocked the breakthrough route of No. 10, and although Qingdao Shuangxi's strikers and full-backs have also followed, the players of the new era have also retreated. All indications are that this rapid counterattack is about to turn into a positional battle;
Stop, get rid of, Double Happiness No. 10 shook off Wei Honglin with a realistic feint, and then took the ball forward, and then picked up his leg - Gao Jinsong, who ran up to assist the defense in a panic, was still a step slower, although he knocked the opponent down in the grass, but Double Happiness No. 10 still completed the action before he slid the tackle......
The goalkeeper of the new era, whose face was out of shape because of panic, stumbled and stumbled to see himself running towards the goal, but he could only watch the ball fly straight into the gate until he fell on the grass, and he still stretched out his arms and posed with a ridiculous look desperately trying to get the ball......
No one made fun of him, and although the Qingdao people were laughing, they were cheering for their goal. His teammates didn't laugh, they just stared at the Qingdao people who were dancing with joy with a wooden face.
Zheng Changsheng, who witnessed this goal, was stunned, he really didn't expect that his team would let the opponent score first in this situation. But he quickly came to his senses and had a few words with Dai Zhenguo and the goalkeeper coach about the unexpected goal, and nodded thoughtfully.
The situation was dominant but let Qingdao Shuangxi, who was shrinking to defend, take the lead, and the players in the new era couldn't swallow this breath, and they were ready to launch a crazy counterattack after kicking off again.
Wei Honglin's passing intention was too obvious, and the ball he originally intended to pass to Ma Cheng was immediately intercepted by the opponent in the middle of the way;
The first pass of Qingdao people, the ball from the left side to the middle of the backfield of the new era, the second pass of the ball to the right front side of the penalty area, the third pass and then back to the middle, but the ball has entered the new era of the big penalty area;
There was no fourth pass, and Qingdao Double Happiness's No. 10 chose to shoot;
The New Era goal was once again punctured by their opponents, less than two minutes after they conceded the last goal......
