Chapter 16: The Crazy Goalkeeper of America

"Rock, scissors, paper!"

Lao Ma shook his fist and smiled: "I said a long time ago, I have never lost in guessing boxing, you stay on the bench honestly, and replace you when the situation cannot be opened in the second half, if we can lead to the end, you will continue to rest on the bench." ”

Ling Feng looked at the two fingers drawn indignantly, and muttered, "Damn, I still want to be the best shooter!" Two games without a goal! ”

"If you have the ability, you will score another hat-trick and I guarantee that the top scorer is yours." Lao Ma even replied: "Since we won the championship in 78, no one has scored more than six goals in a World Cup, this year's biggest hope Ronaldo is dumb, but the kid in Croatia and the strong man in Italy have played well, but they are unlikely to be able to break this cycle, don't worry." ”

Ling Feng's teeth itched with hatred, Lao Ma was so easy to stage a hat trick, what if the Chinese team went home in the game?

"I'm going to talk about the tactics against Mexico now." The old horse took the whip and pointed to the formation on the big screen and said......

There is no saying which team can make Lao Ma so reassured, and among the top 32 of the World Cup, he is least afraid of the Mexican team.

Because all along, the style of the Mexican team has been a complete continuation of the Argentine technical school, focusing on delicate skills and smooth coordination.

Mexico in Central and North America is much higher than Argentina in terms of economic conditions, so many of their players are too lazy to go abroad to pan for gold, unlike Argentina, their own national football level is high, but the economic level is backward, many players are because of their poor families to embark on the road of football, in order to seek higher development so hard to go to the European league, which also greatly promotes their own development, so that many Argentine players have learned a lot of European things, such as the perfect combination of their own skills and the rhythm of the game.

The tactics arranged by Lao Ma are very simple, midfielders Liu Dong, Yue Lingxiang, Li Tie and Zhang Xiaorui, in addition to Li Tie being responsible for defense, Zhang Xiaorui, who had the best skills among the four little swans, also appeared on the World Cup stage for the first time, and he took over the gap left in the middle when Ling Feng was not there.

Lao Ma is now trying his best to create opportunities for some players who have not played, and in the last game against the United States, Lao Ma was replaced by Su Maozhen, Sui Dongliang and Li Jinyu on the game, and the goalkeeper was also replaced by Jiang Jin.

In Lao Ma's words, after all, it is the World Cup, and it is not easy to come here, how uncomfortable it is to go home without playing......

So now in the Chinese team, with Zhang Xiaorui's appearance in this game, only Qu Shengqing and No. 3 goalkeeper Fu Bing have not played among the 22 players.

"We don't play high balls in this game." Lao Ma's tactics shocked everyone, Mexico's goalkeeper is only 1.75 meters, such a good opportunity not to play high-altitude balls?

"You idiots!" The old horse had a look of hatred on his face: "The air superiority of the Dutch team is obvious!" It's not the same that you can't get the Mexican team! Do you have a better header advantage than the Netherlands? ”

A kind of young players stopped talking, Ling Feng had such a big hole in his head, even if he played, he would definitely not be able to top the ball, and the others, compared to the Netherlands, the advantage of high altitude was almost negligible.

It's hard for the Netherlands to bargain on Mexico, let alone them.

"Don't bully Campos for being short, he's better at handling high balls than the average goalkeeper." I don't know if it's an illusion, Ou Chuliang felt that Lao Ma seemed to glance at him out of the corner of his eye when he talked about "ordinary goalkeeper......

Ou Chuliang was a little depressed, but Ling Feng didn't say anything, even if it was Yue Lingxiang and Liu Dong, the young players who were the golden partners, they would definitely be much more famous than themselves after the World Cup.

Compared with them, Ou Chuliang can only be regarded as an "average goalkeeper" at best.

"It's hard to hang the goal," Maradona pointed to the big screen video of the game between Mexico and the Netherlands, at this time Bergkamp raised his foot outside the penalty area, the route of the ball was excellent, but Campos did not pause and ran backwards quickly, unlike the average goalkeeper who ran backwards to the door, Campos turned his whole body and accelerated towards the goal, and a little in front of the goal line, he looked back at the landing point of the ball and jumped directly, holding the ball off the crossbar with one palm.

"Because he knows that he is not tall, Campos has practiced very the opponent's hanging door, and it is not easy to get the benefits from him."

"But if we shoot at a good angle and with a fast pace, Campos' skill won't be useful?" Liu Dong asked that the youngster scored another goal in the last game against the United States, and indeed established his status as the king of newcomers, so he is now very confident.

"That's it." Maradona approving: "Although his bounce is world-class, after all, his height is limited, and if the speed of the ball can catch him off guard, then his best skills are useless." ”

"You American goalkeepers are such perverts!" When the players came on the field, Ling Feng whispered in the ears of the old horse: "That madman of Colombia, Iguita, dared to play a barb at Wembley Stadium, dared to rush forward with the ball in the World Cup, and after being cut off once, he rushed forward and was broken again; Chilavert ran up to take a free kick when he was idle, and he could score directly from 70 meters in the backfield; This Campos is even more fun, I remember one season in the Mexican league he played a half-time goalkeeper and a half-time striker, and he ended up being the top scorer of the season......

The old horse crooked his nose: "The three of them are known as the three crazy goalkeepers, and it is just a coincidence that they are all in the Americas, and our Argentine goalkeepers are conscientious......"

"Conscientious?" Ling Feng sneered, "Is the current goalkeeper Luo A a normal person?" Worried about the end of the world all day long, refusing to play on Saturday, which team would dare to ask for him? ”

Old Ma: "......"

As Lao Ma said, in the first 16 minutes, Yue Lingxiang's long-range shot blasted open the door of Campos and took the lead for the Chinese team.

The speed of the shot was remarkable, but the angle of the ball was not very good, but unfortunately, Campos's height did not give him enough time to jump even if he reacted, and the ball flew past his fingertips and into the goal.

Ling Feng pinched Lao Ma's neck fiercely off the field, and kept complaining: "Damn bastard, why don't you want me to play, I finally met a rookie goalkeeper, if I play, I will definitely be able to score a hat trick in this game!" ”

Before he thought that what he had just said was not enough, Ling Feng added: "At least it's a hat trick!" ”

If Hua Butterfly heard Ling Feng's words, he would probably be angry, and he would be a rookie? With a height of 1.75 meters and one of the top goalkeepers in the world, can Campos be a rookie?

Hua Butterfly is not a rookie, but Ling Feng is his nemesis.

Naturally, Mexico's backline can't be compared to Germany and Yugoslavia, so it's quite easy for Ling Feng to create some long-range shots, especially when he opens the gap for a left-footed shot, Campos' nightmare comes.

One thing to one thing, Maradona's tactics can drop Mexico, and Ling Feng can drop Campos without a little temper - as for the one who can drop Ling Feng, it is probably Siyue......

"What are you anxious about?" Lao Ma leisurely spit out the smoke ring: "According to my estimate, we should have three more games, Croatia and Romania's strength is not too strong, no matter who they qualify, it should not be a problem to win, as long as they enter the semi-finals, then there must be two games, you can not even score three goals in total?" ”

"Don't think about the future," Ling Feng said expressionlessly: "Let's think about whether we can win this game first,, Lao Tzu is optimistic, you are much more optimistic than Lao Tzu......"

The old horse was still thinking about the meaning of Ling Feng's words, when he heard a neat cheer from the sidelines.

"Uh, we were scored?" A drop of sweat fell from the old horse's head.

The Mexican team is not a rookie to be mermaids, they can even force a draw with the powerful Dutch team, let alone the Chinese team where Ling Feng is not on the field.

A large part of Yue Lingxiang's goal just now was a sneak attack, and the overall strength of the Chinese team may not be much stronger than Mexico's.

When Ling Feng spoke just now, he had already seen the two strikers on the other side, Blanco and Hernandez made a clever two-on-two combination, and Hernandez had already formed a single knife......

"Replace me on the field!!" Ling Feng grabbed the old horse's neck without grace, and the old rascal suddenly rolled his eyes and gasped.

In the end, Lao Ma still did not replace Ling Feng on the court, and until the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 1:1.

"Diego, I hate you." When he returned to the lounge, Ling Feng muttered, looking unhappy.

"Okay, okay," Lao Ma also realized that he was really a little overbearing, although he knew Mexico well, but he was too optimistic to forget that when Ling Feng was not on the court, the lethality of the Chinese team was reduced by at least half.

"I wanted to give the younger players more chances to play." Lao Ma muttered, but still made the decision to change Ling Feng to play, after all, it was a knockout match and he couldn't afford to play.

When Ling Feng, whose head was shining, stared at a large white gauze sleeve and walked onto the court, the fans in the stadium let out earth-shattering cheers and whistles.

Ling Feng's bald head is really nostalgic!

French fans, especially those in Paris, can not forget that in the season when Ling Feng joined Saint-Germain, due to an undeserved failure, from head coach Fernandes to all the substitutes, they were all shaved into shiny bald heads.

I remember that this was the biggest entertainment news of the year, and it also indirectly showed the unity within Saint-Germain at that time.

"Phew!" When interviewed by reporters, Djokaeff spat angrily: "At that time, Fernandez threatened us with a salary cut, and with the creaking of Ling's bastard's fist, who would dare not shave his head......"

Anyway, Ling Feng had become bald again, but with a white gauze tied to his head, this shape was still quite cute.

"Cute?" Ling Feng couldn't help but touch his head and smile bitterly when he heard the neat "AimableLing" on the sidelines, he was still cute when he was old......

Ling Feng's appearance has attracted great attention from the Mexican players, although basically no one among them plays in Europe, but the name Ling Feng, but the coach has been talking about it in the past few days, from his previous shooting highlights and the outstanding performance in the first two games of this World Cup, they have reason to believe that this young player under the age of eighteen, the World Cup is the same as usual games for him, and it will not affect his performance at all.

The player replaced by Ling Feng is Yang Chen, that is to say, if Lao Ma doesn't want to play a single striker, there is only one reason - Ling Feng's current position is not the familiar midfielder, but, a striker!

Sure enough, just three minutes into the second half of the game, Ling Feng's breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area gave the players of the Mexican team a disadvantage!

Pardo, Suarez and Billa failed to break Ling Feng, Pardo was shaken lightly by Ling Feng, and Suarez and Billa were squeezed aside by Ling Feng with his body.

But just as Ling Feng was about to hit the door, he suddenly felt a strong force under his feet, and he immediately flew up and fell to the ground, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the goalkeeper Campos, and his attack disintegrated Ling Feng's breakthrough.

"This dwarf is really fast!" Ling Feng muttered with his Chinese to get up, and when he saw Campos who had just kicked the ball out with a big foot, he looked puzzled, and hurriedly said in very fluent Spanish: "You saved beautifully......

After successfully getting a "Gracias" (thank you in Spanish) from the other party, Ling Feng twisted his ass and returned to the midfield with satisfaction - as for why Ling Feng knew Spanish? Well, Argentina also speaks Spanish, and Ling Feng mingles with Lao Mabati every day, so it's not surprising that he knows more than one language......

The Mexican team's offense is very sharp, after Ling Feng came on the field, Mexico obviously strengthened the personnel and strength of the attack, because the score of scoring a hat trick in the first game was too scary - and at that time, Ling Feng's position was still a midfielder, not a striker, and the head coach of the Mexican team could only adopt an internationally popular sentence: "Don't let Ling score, don't let him get the ball."

By attacking to tear apart the defense of the Chinese team, they have no time to organize an effective attack, so that they can contain Ling Feng to the greatest extent.

But didn't he think that under such an onslaught, his own backline would not be exposed?

Maradona's purpose in replacing Ling Feng was not to attack, but to defend and counterattack!
