Chapter 26: Winning the Competition
Back in the locker room, Curry praised everyone's performance.
'In the first half, everyone did a pretty good job and played well in attack, but we wasted a lot of chances and we need to pay attention.
As soon as the conversation turned, Curry mentioned the land breeze.
"Lu Feng, yes, it's you. Don't think you're going to get a goal and you're still laughing. Even though you have an assist and a goal, how you play on the pitch. A person who fights alone, does not know how to cooperate, does not know how to pass. Football is not a one-man game, it is a teamwork sport. If you play like this again in the second half, you're going to go back to the youth team. ”
Hearing Curry's words, Lu Feng was secretly happy in his heart. Since the manager has criticised himself and warned himself to perform better in the second half, it doesn't mean that in the competition against Lywells, it is he who wins. Lu Feng glanced at Levilles, who was sitting on the side with a cold face and didn't say a word, his eyes were full of provocation, Ya, you lost.
"Got it, coach, I'll change it later, I'm going to score goals."
Lu Feng's words caused his teammates to burst into laughter.
"Lu Feng, it's good to have a goal, sometimes I can't score a goal in a game, I can't score in every game."
Silva, who scored in the first half, looked in a good mood and joked.
"It's unreasonable for you to score every midfielder, and I don't talk as a man who only assists. However, Lu Feng is a striker, so it's normal to want to score goals. Come on, Lu Feng, score another goal, and I'll invite everyone to dinner. ”
Team Dungeon Benjamin glanced at Silva with disdain and encouraged Lu Feng.
"For this meal, fight, you must score a goal and slaughter the vice team."
Lu Feng also replied with a smile when he heard this.
"Yes, yes, we've got you covered. It's rare for the deputy to be so generous, and we're going to slaughter him. ”
A lot of teammates cheered.
Levilles, who had not spoken, had become more and more gloomy, and he had seen Lu Feng's provocative eyes, specially. If it weren't for Lu Feng, the bastard, who kept wasting opportunities and couldn't get the ball, he would have scored the goal. As for Lu Feng's assist, Lewells directly ignored it, it was just luck.
Lewells is also unhappy with his teammates, a young player who is making his second appearance, as for the appearance of having a good relationship with him. In fact, Lewells' mentality has been unbalanced, and at the end of the last game, he also talked and laughed with Lu Feng, but this time because he lost the competition within the team, so he had so much resentment.
"Alright." Curry waved his hand to silence everyone.
"In the second half, the opponent will definitely press the attack, so we don't take the initiative to attack, play defensive counterattack. In the second half, Varazulla came up to replace Lewells. Victor, you also retreat, and form a double midfield with Valazula, we should play 4231. Play more direct passes and make the most of the speed of the land breeze, got it? ”
Hearing the manager's words, many players looked at Lewells sympathetically. In the first half of the game, the conflict and competition between him and Lu Feng were cut in everyone's eyes, and Lu Feng was about to be replaced because of his sticky ball, and Lewells was going to win. Who knew that Lu Feng first scored a long-range shot and contributed an assist, causing head coach Curry to choose to keep Lu Feng and give up Lewells.
Lewells couldn't believe his ears at all, the head coach actually replaced himself, just because this young Chinese kid wanted to replace himself. For Curry's rhetoric, Lewells is not interested at all, Ituano has such a big gap with the team, do you need to be afraid of the opponent's offense to make substitutions?
Fools know that this is aimed at themselves, and any change of formation is an excuse. Lewells stared at Lu Feng fiercely, not because of him, he would have scored a goal a long time ago, not because of him, and he would not have been replaced. Boy, this is not over, you wait for me.
Curry doesn't know what's going on in Lewells' mind, and even if he did, Curry wouldn't care. In the football world, the winner is always king, Lu Feng is in good shape, he has scored goals, as a head coach, of course he chooses Lu Feng, even if Lewells is an old player. The world of football is not a place where seniority can be relied upon.
Lu Feng would not know that such a thing made him and Lywells form a bond. But I believe Lu Feng won't mind, his goal is to become a double footballer man, and a small role like Lewells has never been his goal, let alone his opponent.
..
The second half of the game restarted, and Ituano stepped up the offense as Curry expected. Although no personnel adjustments were made in the half, they no longer contracted the defense on the field, but dared to press the attack. And the Santos team consciously contracted the defense during this period of time.
Therefore, in the first ten minutes of the second half, Ituano once took the initiative on the field, frequently launching waves of attacks on Santos' goal. It's just that the whole team of Santos had expected it, the defense was in place, and the counterattack was also played beautifully. As a result, although Ituano looked dominant, in fact, the goal threat to Santos was not as great as Santos's counterattack.
In the 5th minute, it was also Ituano's first great chance to score in the whole game. Ituano took advantage of a corner and almost scored. Striker Addison's header hit the crossbar and bounced off.
In the 8th minute, after Ituano's attack was cut off by Santos at the back, Anderson made a long pass, found Lu Feng who was in front of him, and almost created a single chance. Unfortunately, it was blown offside by the assistant referee. Lu Feng was quite dissatisfied, he obviously paid attention to the position of the opponent's two central defenders, and he was at least one position away, how could it be offside. It's just that the majesty of the referee on the field can't be shaken, and Lu Feng has to complain that his luck is too bad.
'Actually, it wasn't offside, it was a good goal, and the assistant referee made a mistake. From the slow-motion replay, it was clear that the Landbreeze was at least half a position away from Ituano's last centre-back. Unfortunately, it should have been a great opportunity for Santos. ”
In the first ten minutes of play, both sides were given a great chance each. Ituano and Santos were both unlucky, with the former hitting the woodwork and the latter being blown offside.
In the 11th minute, it was Ituano who attacked again and was cut off. This time, Santos did not adopt the tactic of directly looking for Lu Feng with a big foot. Through the combination of short passes, three-to-two passes and rapid advances, it quickly formed a three-on-three situation in Ituano's half.
It's just that, because Lu Feng was in a hurry to score, he chose to shoot himself at the last moment instead of passing to the unmarked Benjamin. Lu Feng's shot was saved by Andrio and a goalscoring opportunity was wasted.
Curry, who was on the sidelines, saw Lu Feng's actions and was dissatisfied.
"Ya, you should let this kid end, and waste the opportunity."
