Chapter 2 (18)
Until noon the next day, when it was almost time to eat, the rain that had begun last night was still pouring and continuing rapidly. The rain drove away the hot weather that lasted for three or four days, bringing people the freshness of autumn and filling the originally turbid air with a fresh breath. The autumn cicadas, who had a premonition that time was running out, were seizing the time and singing desperately, one high and one low. In the midst of the cicadas chirping far and near, a few rays of golden sunlight tore through the thinning clouds and shone hotly on the land that had just been moistened by the rain.
Looks like the rain is about to stop. This also indicates that the team's match with Changsha Qinyuan will also be played on time.
Before going to the restaurant to eat, Sun Junshan was still muttering to Dai Zhenguo about the competition. He really didn't want to see his team lose, even if it was just an inconsequential match.
Dai Zhenguo raised his eyelids and glanced at him, ignored him, and walked his own way in the light rain with his head so thin that his clothes couldn't even get wet. In his impression, Sun Junshan is not the character of this mother-in-law. General Manager Sun, who is usually very steady, sprang around several offices like a headless fly all morning, scaring several club staff who had nothing to do to find an excuse to do. He also ran into the coach's office from time to time to talk around, asking Dai Zhenguo and them to watch a few game videos quietly. Not only did he not let himself live in peace, but he also found the waiter at the resort to reprimand him, and the reason was even more far-fetched - why did the waiter who was cleaning the room leave the mop in the corridor without saying hello? Doesn't she know that doing so can easily cause a "traffic" accident? The waiter was very unconvinced and contradicted him, so the matter was out of control, until the resort manager who learned the news came to accompany him in the rain and said a lot of good words, so that he could persuade Sun Junshan, who was so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck.
Seeing that Dai Zhenguo didn't speak, Sun Junshan, who was bored, closed his mouth. But he didn't take a few steps before he asked without giving up: "You say, if we lose, will it affect our current situation?" β
What's the deal if you lose a match? Dai Zhenguo didn't want to pay attention to him, and secretly quickened his pace. But he didn't want to ignore it completely, so he had to say perfunctorily: "What situation does it affect?" β
"Will it affect the good momentum of our winning streak?" Sun Junshan looked at Dai Zhenguo with some dissatisfaction. These people don't care about this game. He said excitedly, "If the loss of this inconsequential match affects the mood of the players, if the loss buries the good opportunity that we have won so hard......"
"You've been worrying about this all morning, huh? Look at the toss of people to the point of chickens and dogs. Before Sun Junshan finished speaking, Dai Zhenguo smiled. This is just a confrontation game, each testing the opponent's virtual reality, at most with the practice of the new lineup, so that the players are familiar with the new tactics - who will be so serious, turn over the hole cards to the opponent? . He also teased Sun Junshan, who was messed up because he cared too much, "Don't worry, losing a match won't interfere with your A and B plans." β
"I'm not kidding you."
Seeing that Sun Junshan was a little angry, Dai Zhenguo couldn't laugh with him anymore, so Zhengrong said: "Qinyuan's strength is indeed stronger than those opponents we have encountered before, but it is not so strong that we will definitely lose." He weighed it in his heart to see if he needed to tell the general manager all the weaknesses that the coaches had carefully analyzed from the Qinyuan game video in the morning. He picked out the content that everyone is already familiar with and said, "Qinyuan is characterized by fast, flexible, sharp breakthroughs, and many attack points, but their '4312' formation requires their No. 17 player to respond to the dispatch between attack and defense, and to see him to death is equivalent to choking Qinyuan's seven inches - we can completely use the double back tactics to limit his activity space, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, then it will be difficult to say whether to win or lose." β
"Really? It's as simple as that? Sun Junshan didn't believe it. Last night, Dai Zhenguo praised Qinyuan to the sky, and it has only been a few hours, and Qinyuan has become a phoenix on the ground?
"Hmm." Dai Zhenguo nodded affirmatively, "Qinyuan's No. 17 used to play wild ball, you know, right?" That's the weakness, the biggest weakness. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that several coaches from Qinyuan accompanied a few reporters to step on another road, so he quickly stopped talking and greeted the group of people loudly.
With so many outsiders present, it is difficult for Sun Junshan to find an assistant coach for detailed interrogation. He had to be polite to those people on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was searching his stomach to find out what kind of connection there was between this player who played wild football and Qin Yuan's weaknesses.
Soon in the afternoon, the weather cleared completely. As always, the scorching sun dominated the sky, spraying its light and heat on the earth. The autumn cicadas, who had been noisy all morning, seemed to be tired of singing, and quietly lay down in a corner to rest. On the concrete pavement that connects the entire resort, there is occasionally an inconspicuous wet stain, which is probably the only trace left by more than ten hours of continuous rainfall.
At the side of the turf belonging to Qinyuan, Zheng Changsheng told his team members one by one to pay attention to protect themselves and not to be injured. For this confrontation match, Zheng Changsheng neither held a pre-game preparation meeting, nor did he arrange any targeted tactics for the players on the court during the warm-up just now, but just let them run more and fight more. He didn't even ask them to put some pressure on their opponents and cause some trouble. This made Sun Junshan, who attaches great importance to the game, somewhat unhappy.
Sun Junshan sat on the bench on the side of his team with drooping eyebrows, looking at everything in front of him with a blank expression, until the cameraman of the TV station turned the camera, he squeezed a smile on his face and nodded to a few reporters who were already familiar with him.
The players of the new era are clearly not as nervous as their general manager. It's just a warm-up game, it doesn't affect the future of the team, it doesn't affect the vital interests of the players, it doesn't even have an appearance fee, who would take such a game seriously? So some people ran on the field without even wearing shin guards. They were immediately yelled back by Zheng Changsheng. Under the stern gaze of the old coach, these lazy guys had to do this very important thing well.
In front of the TV cameras in their hometown, the players of Qinyuan were undoubtedly more passionate than the players of the new era, and at the beginning of the game, their offensive was like a tide, wave after wave, wave after wave surging towards the opponent. Two-over-one fit, two-over-two fit, wall-hitting fit, large-scale transfer...... Tactical routines are endless, as smooth as mercury, and dizzying. With only fifteen minutes played, they had already taken a 2-0 lead. Of course, this achievement is also thanks to the tacit cooperation of the players of the new era, their defense hardly caused any problems for their attack, often deliberately leaving holes in the defense, not to mention, even if they happen to stand in the right position and get stuck in the opponent's line, they will be very realistic with the opponent to perform, and then let the opponent swagger into their own turf, calmly get up and shoot.
All this that the players of the new era did was for that TV show in Qinyuan. They are using their actions to cooperate with their former teammates and current friends, so that Qinyuan's image on TV can be more glamorous and shiny, and in order to make Qinyuan have more audiences and applause in the years to come. Although they also crave these things......
The players of both sides tacitly staged this wonderful show together in front of the camera.
Most of the viewers at the side of the stadium are people who know the ball, and they can naturally see the mystery in the middle, but they don't try to uncover this layer of paper - anyway, this video is to make the TV station attract more advertisers, and the more fancy the better. Moreover, the performance of the Qinyuan team members is also exquisite, and many things are seen for the first time even by reporters who have been with the team for more than a month. For example, Qinyuan No. 17 scored the second goal for the team......
- At the moment before receiving the ball, Qinyuan No. 17 was facing the goal on the edge of the small penalty area, and next to him was the new era of marking central defender and goalkeeper; Because his teammates were not active in defense, the marking central defender had to abandon No. 17 and rush to block the Qinyuan players who entered the penalty area from the right side with the ball; Qin Yuan led the player to pass the ball, and the ball was handed to No. 17; The seventeenth player stood in place and stopped the ball with a slight knock on the inside of his right foot, and then dragged his leg back - at the moment when he swung his leg, all those who looked in this direction clearly felt that there was a pause in his movements, but this pause was too short, so short that people could only realize it but not catch it, it was more like a kind of ethereal illusion and illusion in the mind - but the goalkeeper of the new era pounced on the side of the goal...... It wasn't until he was almost planted in the barley that Qinyuan 17 finished his shot β he just pushed the ball forward and it swooped into the net......
The small audience was silent. They were still reminiscing about the unique charm revealed in that elusive momentary pause. Yes, Charm! Qinyuan No. 17 brought the melody between movement and stillness to the extreme at the moment of shooting, and it even gave people's consciousness the illusion of time standing still......
The silence was followed by applause and praise, and even Sun Junshan, whose face had always been solemn and solemn, couldn't help but stand up and applaud for this shot. Several text reporters immediately rushed to the cameraman's side, urging a replay of the footage, and they needed to confirm whether the pause had ever occurred.
The photojournalist agreed to their request. In fact, he was also very curious, and when the seventeenth shot the goal, he thought that the camera was malfunctioning.
The replay came out, but the reporters were still not satisfied, because even in slow motion, they couldn't confirm whether there was a pause. Two or three dissenting fellows have already begun to argue about it.
"Look! Look! Here he is again! A reporter who was still on the field shouted, loudly reminding his peers.
The reporters in a crowd immediately raised their faces and tried to look out onto the lawn, and the photographers immediately took up their cameras. But they didn't see anything, only the players, coaches and staff of both teams were applauding loudly.
"What the hell are you looking at? What do you want us to see? Did he do something again? Someone anxiously asked the startled guy.
In a hurry, the questioned reporter stammered. He really couldn't tell what he was seeing. What he had just glimpsed was shocking, and he really didn't know how to tell everyone about the impossible. He only now realizes that his language skills are still very poor, and it is impossible for him to express what he sees in words.
Fortunately, Qinyuan 17 soon helped him out of the siege with actions again.
- Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, just a little time in the blink of an eye, No. 17's two legs crossed the ball six times in a row, and Guan Mingshan, who was one-on-one with him, couldn't make any defensive moves except for standing on the lawn and opening his mouth wide again...... This time, he really wanted to stop his opponent and save some face for himself, but he couldn't keep up with his opponent's rhythm at all, let alone face such a juggling and fancy move. He could only watch his opponent pass by him in a daze, and then reluctantly turned around to see what was going onβcould this guy score another goal this time?
The ball didn't go in. The well-positioned New Era goalkeeper pressed the ball firmly on the turf and immediately protected it with his body......
"Fifteen hundred yuan to find such a player, it's worth it!" Dai Zhenguo sighed. This is the second time that Qinyuan 17 has staged such a wonderful breakthrough, but he was still shocked, and couldn't help but praise a few words. He was very jealous and envious of his peers.
You Shen, who was sitting next to him, was very calm, and just said lightly: "Next year will not be at this price." With this kind of player, there are more things to worry about. Do you think a small club like the Second Division and Qinyuan can keep such players? There are already a few A-League clubs who are inquiring about him and have given us transfer offers. One club even offered us an offer and promised never to counteroffer. There was already some worry in his voice.
"He doesn't know yet?" Dai Zhenguo raised his eyebrows on the court.
"If he knew, he would still be able to play football with peace of mind?" You Shen said with a wry smile, "We gave him a short-term contract, and the end time of Qinyuan's second division league is the end time of the contract." β
Dai Zhenguo grinned and said that he understood that all the contracts of all players at the New Era Club were in this situation. Not only the two clubs of New Era and Qinyuan, but most of the clubs in the entire second division like this short-term behavior, looking forward to jumping into the door with this low-cost business model, and then relying on the qualification of the first and second division to absorb funds to rebuild the team. This can indeed reduce costs, but it also brings incalculable hidden dangers - players who have no sense of belonging and cannot grasp their future destiny regard immediate interests as more important than anything else, and they will even dare to break with the club for a few dollars, or do such dirty things as betraying the club and the team behind their backs for the sake of greater interests......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the vague rumors in the team about Chen Mingcan taking the lead in selling the ball. He couldn't help but sigh heavily. No wind and no waves!
You Shen also sighed, and said, "We have no choice but to hide here. Others are not only eyeing our seventeenth, but also several main forces...... Look at it, no matter what the result of this year's league looks like, next year's Qinyuan will definitely be a different situation. β
Dai Zhenguo nodded silently. The situation is similar for teams in the new era, such as Zhang Chi, the current top scorer in this year's second division league, has been targeted by several clubs, including many A and B clubs. He also quietly glanced at You Shen from the corner of his eye. Someone told him that he had seen Zhang Chi and the head coach of Qinyuan drinking tea and chatting together last night. He doesn't trust a manager to talk for an hour or two about why an unfamiliar key player from another team has a common concern......
You Shen suddenly stood up, applauded Zhang Chi's threatening shot, and gave him a thumbs up.
"This Zhang Chi has a very sensitive sense of smell in front of the door!" You Shen made no secret of his love for Zhang Chi. "I heard that you found him for the new era?"
"Yes." Dai Zhenguo understood what You Shen meant, so he said, "If you are promoted to A B and we can't go up, I can help you say a few words." - But it's up to you to do the work, and you're not the only club with whom he's connected. β
You Shen smiled. In fact, what he wanted was Dai Zhenguo's words. He didn't continue the topic, handed Dai Zhenguo a cigarette, and lit the cigarette roll in Dai Zhenguo's hand, and after taking a puff, he changed the topic: "What about your No. 12 with good long-range shooting ability?" Why haven't you played yet? β
Dai Zhenguo hesitated. This question is not easy to answer, he can't tell You Shen that Gao Jinsong is actually not the main force. And he still can't figure out what You Shen is asking for? Is he interested in Gao Jinsong, or is he asking about the reality of the new era?
"Is it a lack of fitness?" You Shenxiang asked very casually.
Again, this is an unanswerable question. Dai Zhenguo had no choice but to grin bitterly.
His uncomfortable expression fell on You Shen's eyes, which was a completely different matter. He has seen all the group game videos of the new era, and he has been impressed by Gao Jinsong's long-range shooting ability and ability to play as a midfielder, but he has also discovered Gao Jinsong's speed defects and possible physical deficiencies in short-distance sprints - Gao Jinsong's longest game only played 50 minutes......
"It's a pity......" You Shen said regretfully.
Dai Zhenguoba smacked his lips and responded to You Shen's unbelievable evaluation with a long sigh.
"What position does he play?" You Shen asked casually again, and gestured to his players on the field that only their own people could understand. "I think I've seen him play three or four positions."
"He can play in all positions except the goalkeeper." Dai Zhenguo told the truth this time.
You Shen didn't expect such an answer, and he asked in surprise: "All the positions?" β¦β¦ He's an all-rounder?! β
"Hey!" Dai Zhenguo frowned painfully, and glanced at Gao Jinsong, who was sitting in the grass over there and watching the game happily.
You Shen also sighed. This time, he sincerely felt sorry for Gao Jinsong, an all-round player with good skills on both his left and right feet, but he didn't have speed and physical fitness, which couldn't help but be sad.
The first half of the game was over, and they stood up to face their respective players. They were all very satisfied with the conversation just now. You Shen's satisfaction is because of Dai Zhenguo's promise to Zhang Chi, and because he has thoroughly figured out the physical weakness of Gao Jinsong, the most difficult variable to determine in the new era; And Dai Zhenguo's satisfaction was because of You Shen's misunderstanding of Gao Jinsong. If it weren't for the fear of being recognized by You Shen, he would have wanted to laugh out loud about it. He really couldn't understand, why so many people thought that Gao Jinsong had a problem with his physical fitness? In the physical fitness test conducted by the club before the start of the league, Gao Jinsong easily ran 3,500 meters in 12 minutes......
In the second half, there was no further television recording, so the match between the two teams really began.
As Zheng Changsheng analyzed in the morning, Qin Yuan did not adjust the lineup in the second half, which is actually the lineup they have been using in the group stage. On the one hand, this incident shows that they have a strong confidence in this line-up and tactics, but it also exposes the lack of reserve strength in this team, and their coach is not worried about his substitutes, even in this kind of inconsequential confrontation, he is not willing to give them much opportunity to show himself.
The new era has also made too many adjustments in personnel, just replacing the player who plays the front waist with Gao Jinsong, so that he and Wei Honglin can partner in the back waist. This set of double-back tactics designed to deal with Qinyuan immediately showed its power: Gao Jinsong did not suffer physically in several direct confrontations with Qinyuan No. 17, although the opponent can also get rid of him with speed and agility when he is a little farther away, but Wei Honglin will immediately appear on the opponent's possible offensive route, and take action to delay the opponent's advance speed to wait for Gao Jinsong to step forward to pack, and in this case, control of the ball usually changes hands- No matter how strong No. 17's personal ability is, it is impossible to get rid of the entanglement of two opponents every time. Qin Yuan's best attacking line in the middle was gradually contained, and they had to change their tactics and adjust their focus to two sides, and the seventeenth also changed from the organizer of the attack to the receiver of the attack. He was clearly not familiar with this shift in role, and several times he got himself wrong, and his coach had to stand on the sidelines of the field and shout at him where he should be.
Contrary to the anxious You Shen, Zheng Changsheng is now sitting on a bench on the edge of the field, holding the cigarette handed over by Sun Junshan in his hand, watching the game calmly. He even had a smile on his face Sun Junshan, who had a smile on his face, and chatted a few words of gossip that had nothing to do with the game, and happily told General Manager Sun that all opponents who stood in the way of promotion in the new era were paper tigers - even a team like Qinyuan had its own dead end! There are even people who say that Qinyuan's strength is enough to kick A A, and the person who said that should really come here to take a look, since Qinyuan can play A A, then it shouldn't be a delusion to look forward to a A B seat in the new era, right?
The old coach does have the confidence to say this.
At this time, the double back waist composed of Wei Honglin, who is weak in attack and strong in defense, and Gao Jinsong, who has relatively average offensive and defensive ability, has gradually controlled the midfield. These two guys who live in the same dormitory also have a more tacit understanding than others: Wei Honglin has been dragging behind Gao Jinsong, even in the attack, he will not surpass Gao Jinsong, he consciously took the responsibility of protecting Gao Jinsong's back, and as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the defense line behind him; Gao Jinsong is mainly responsible for the scheduling and organization of the team's offense, and changes the offensive focus on the field at any time according to the changes in the field situation. The two of them have actually replaced Chen Mingcan and Ma Cheng as the core of the team's tactics and become the de facto offensive and defensive connection point and attack initiation point. This is the most disgusting thing for several veteran players in the past, because Gao Jinsong's pass makes them run all the time, they have to run many distances more than the usual game, which also means that they need to pay more physical strength and sweat than usual, although they also understand that this kind of running is actually looking for opportunities for victory, but they always find it psychologically difficult to accept - how can they revolve around the baton of a young player? But now that they have all accepted this fact, compared to the desire to beat Changsha Qinyuan, the biggest favorite to advance to the first B, running a few more steps and sweating a little more is really nothing......
Gao Jinsong didn't leave all the offense to his teammates to complete. After a few breakthroughs, he found a big hole in the opponent's offensive and defensive system: the Qinyuan No. 17 players are not good at defending, although it will not make their central defense useless, but it is undoubtedly a very good offensive line. He also immediately began to consciously try, and succeeded in causing trouble and confusion for his opponent several times. With the closest distance between the central attack and the goal, and his long-range shooting ability being familiar to opponents, any effective breakthrough in this direction will attract enough opponents to make room for his teammates to run and catch up......
In just a few minutes, Gao Jinsong and his teammates organized several threatening attacks, although they failed to convert into goals, but in these few minutes, the Qinyuan team's penalty area and outside the danger were chaotic, not to mention the attack, they couldn't even organize counterattacks, just to destroy the ball out of the safe area.
Dense defense will give the opponent a chance to shoot from a distance, and pressing out the defense will leave enough space for the opponent to break through, Qinyuan immediately fell into a dilemma, just when they hesitated about this, Zhang Chi received Ma Cheng's pass in the penalty area and turned to shoot, and the muffled sound when the ball and the goal beam collided was like knocking on the hearts of all Qinyuan people.
You Shen's face was even more ugly. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he stood on the edge of the field with a blue face, staring at the situation on the field without saying a word. He never expected the two teams to come together in such a way, so he couldn't find a solution to this tricky problem in a hurry, and to make matters worse, his team didn't have the same deep bench potential as the new era, and could be re-offloaded with substitutions. Almost all of the good cards in his hand are on the field......
It turns out that there is still such a big problem in Qinyuan! Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo glanced at each other, extremely happy. They didn't blame themselves for not being able to pick out such a problem in the Qinyuan competition video. In those games, Qinyuan's opponents all formulated a defensive counterattack strategy before the game, and in the game, they were tossed by Qinyuan's fast-paced offense. Even if Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo discussed this double-back tactic in the room for a morning, it was only a temporary emergency measure, and the only hope was that they could lose a little bit of face with it. Who would have thought that this two-back tactic would work so well?
Wait! Since the effect of the double back tactic is so obvious......
"Director Zheng, I'm thinking about ......" Dai Zhenguo didn't finish his words. He suddenly remembered the old coach's stubborn character and stubborn employment principles, if the two had any disputes in this public place, wouldn't it expose the contradictions in the work in front of the players?
"Hmm." Zheng Changsheng raised his hand to interrupt him. He has also received some new inspiration from the double-back tactics of Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin, which may help him solve a big problem in front of him. He frowned, and said slowly and thoughtfully, "Let's slowly sum this up after we come down." β
The two laughed together. The goalkeeper coach and Sun Junshan, who were sitting next to them, also smiled. This is a rare agreement between Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo for a long time, which seems to indicate that the contradiction between the two coaches has a certain tendency to be resolved. At this time, the unity between the leaders of the two teams is undoubtedly very important for the future of the team......
The second half of the matchup ended in a 0-0 draw.
The leaders of the two clubs got together again and complimented each other a few more words, and then dispersed in a hurry. It was the first time that You Shen had discovered that there was such a huge hole in the team's defensive system, and he had to quickly find a way to make up for it; Zheng Changsheng sensed a new idea and new tactic that he had never thought of before, and he needed to discuss its reliability with his assistants, and try to put it into practice as soon as possible, and then compare a set of reliable personnel through training......
