Chapter 17: Substitutions (II)
At the end of the fifteen-minute half-time break, players from both sides returned to the pitch and the second half of the game resumed.
With a two-goal advantage, Wimbledon slowed down the attacking tempo at the start of the second half, but that didn't mean Ipswich Town Under-18s had a chance to equalise.
As in the first half, Wimbledon still focused on Anderson, and the first half of the game also made Wimbledon understand that as long as Anderson is locked, it is equivalent to killing the momentum of Ipswich's Under-18 attack.
Not only that, but Wimbledon also adopted a strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, and they suppressed Ipswich Under-18s in their own half for back-to-back and tentative attacks.
This style of play can be said to be very unkind, because it is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Ipswich Town Under-18 players, leaving them in a constant state of mental crisis, forcing them to concentrate highly and deal with dangers that may occur at any time.
However, this form has been painful for the Ipswich Under-18s players as they do not know when Wimbledon will be attacking and when they will be tentative.
But whether it is a real attack or a temptation, Ipswich U18 has to deal with it seriously, and over time, there will be huge pressure on the Ipswich U18 players.
Wimbledon used this psychological principle to constantly put pressure on Ipswich U18 by backing and probing the attack. So much so that they are exhausted in the process of disarming the alarm.
Looking at the players who were led by the nose by the opponent, Samp on the sidelines looked very helpless, but he didn't have a good way.
The lack of experience on the field and the overall strength are not as good as the opponent, and the two congenital shortcomings are like two mountains pressing on Ipswich U18, which makes people helpless.
But Samp is willing to accept such a result, he doesn't want to lose, although this is an assessment competition, the purpose is to select talents for the first team, but this is not an assessment for Samp himself.
After all, this is the U18, a team related to the future of Ipswich, such an important echelon is in his hands, and Samp also wants to give the citizens of Ipswich a decent answer.
But if you look at the current situation on the pitch, and then look at the bench, what will he do to turn things around?
Samp pondered.
And just when Samp was at a loss, Wimbledon forced a player from Ipswich U18 to panic the ball.
And this pass, and impartially passed to the feet of the Wimbledon striker, suddenly the rest of the back line did not have time to react, the Wimbledon striker only adjusted one step, dodged the angle, and blasted open the door of Ipswich U18 with a strong shot.
3-0, Wimbledon seals the win!
Ipswich Town Under-18 momentum is gone......
…………
On the bench, Gao Sheng sighed heavily - he lost the ball again. Although sitting on the bench and not playing, Gao Sheng still hopes that the team can have a good result, at least not conceding too much.
Because of this, it is said that Samp will arrange himself to enter the assessment squad in the next game.
Only if you enter the squad, you will have a chance to appear, right?
What Gao Sheng didn't expect was that after half-time adjustments, Ipswich U18 still didn't improve, and he was suppressed by Wimbledon and had no power to fight back.
Looking at the group of teammates on the court who are alive and powerful on weekdays, and then looking at the exhausted and embarrassed appearance in front of them, the contrast is really not ordinary. Anderson, in particular, is more like an enraged bull on the field, rampage, where is there still a little bit of the demeanor of the team's top scorer?
You know, Anderson has always been elegant and chic, and he has been nicknamed "Violinist", but looking at it now, such a contrast is really hard to describe.
But because of this, Gao Sheng realized a very important problem, that is, even if he is as strong as Anderson, when he is isolated, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to play at his level.
At the end of the day, football is a team sport, and you may be able to win a moment alone, but in the end, you have to rely on the team to win, and you can't go far alone.
Thinking of this, Gao Sheng couldn't help but secretly rejoice, because the first skill that Lao Fei asked Iniesta to grant was a team-type skill, and the intention was probably to let himself know the importance of the team, and Lao Fei really used a hard conscience.
Just as Gao Sheng sighed, Lao Fei's voice sounded in his mind again: "The understanding is good, how do you think about the three questions I assigned?" ”
Gao Sheng smiled and said, "So-so." ”
"Huh? Let's hear it. ”
So Gao Sheng told Lao Fei what he saw, heard and felt, and watched the game with questions, which are two different feelings than simply watching the game.
In general, Gao Sheng's view is not comprehensive, just like he said so-so, because his observation ability and information capture ability are not strong enough, even with the help of God's perspective, he can only barely focus on his own left side and the opponent's middle lane.
As the form arrows show, the midfielders are in mediocre form and simply can't provide the protection they deserve from the left. Wimbledon benefited from the quality of the team in the middle, and the in-form centre-back did not make any mistakes.
However, Gao Sheng knows that if he comes on the field, the central defender must be his own breakthrough. ……
…………
Inside the stadium, the game continued.
With another goal, Wimbledon sent the game into garbage time early, but they had no intention of stopping there.
On the contrary, Wimbledon took advantage of this momentum to increase the intensity of the attack, and there was a big move to bloody Ipswich U18 posture.
Wimbledon's dense attacking momentum made the already overwhelmed Ipswich U18 in front of goal, which was terrifying to watch.
Many onlookers of Ipswich citizens hung their hearts to their throats, praying that Ipswich U18 would not concede goals again.
But I'm afraid of what's coming.
Left!
It's still the left side!
First, Ipswich Town's U18 midfielder made a mistake in interception, and then the full-back was too late to fill the position, Wimbledon sent a through ball from the ribs, and the follow-up striker scored the goal.
Four to zero!
The game lasted less than an hour.
Lost four!
Onlookers suddenly burst into a wail, but more to express their dissatisfaction with the team's defense on the left side, especially the performance of the midfield, which was a disaster.
It's time for Samp to make adjustments!
Samp was already dead on the sidelines, but he couldn't show it as a manager, and as expected from the public, he had to make adjustments in the shortest possible time.
Even if this adjustment does not help the situation on the field, he must have this action, because not giving up is the bottom line of a team!
Samp turned his head and looked at the bench.
There are also six substitutes, three forwards, three defenders, two poles with little room to maneuver, either attacking or defending, and there is not much room for Samp to choose.
But no matter what Samp chooses, it will not solve the fundamental problem.
Going around and around, Samp's eyes finally fell on Gao Sheng.
Samp's eyes narrowed, and he remembered the changes in the past week, especially on the defensive end, which repeatedly deflated the offensive core of Anderson. And as a winger, Gao Sheng has good speed and physical fitness, although he sometimes makes some inexplicable mistakes, but who cares?
Anyway, it's already four to zero, and no one can get any better than this.
Thinking of this, Samp made a decision in his heart, and shouted at Gao Sheng: "High! Change your clothes and go up and kick your back. ”
Gao Sheng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe that Samp would change himself at this time, or play the back, it was too unexpected, he slowly stood up, pointed to himself and said, "Me?" ”
"That's right! It's you! Samp nodded.
"Are you really asking me to play in the back?" Gao Sheng asked uncertainly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you can!" Samp said with a serious look of encouragement.
It's just that Gao Sheng listened, and his left eyebrow flew up - good guy, I don't have much confidence to say this, how can I believe it?
But no matter what, Gao Sheng still changed his jersey and came to Samp's side.
I saw Samp put his right hand on Gao Sheng's shoulder, pointed to the court, and said: "After you go up, you will have three tasks to defend!" Defend! Or defense! Look at their right midfielder! Take care of the rest. ”
Gao Sheng turned his head and looked at Samp strangely, but before he could speak, a powerful foot kicked on his ass, and the whole person was pushed to the sidelines. ……
