Chapter 41: Superstar
If someone is careful enough, they will find that the two players with the most goals in the last two rounds of the league are Liu Jun and Wang Dalong. Liu Jun has always held the honor of the top scorer in the Chinese League, and quietly brought his goal count to 16 goals, which is quite frightening, after all, the league has only played 18 rounds, and there are still 12 rounds. He has already produced the best results of his season.
As for how far it can be improved? It depends on how far the team can go, in fact, he has never scored four goals in two games, limited to the last two.
This happened only after Leonardo's arrival, and even related to Wang Dalong and Anderson, his mood was a little complicated, and he had to admit that it was these people who brought great changes to the team and himself.
And Wang Dalong's four goals in two games instantly surpassed many midfielders and even local strikers on the league scorer list. He has only used two of a dozen games, and if he scores again in the next league game, then he can surpass a lot of people.
This rate of climb is very amazing, but he didn't score enough goals to attract more people's attention.
But within Dragon International, it's very clear.
The team's good form and situation did not make Leonardo flutter, the team's only goal is to play in the Chinese Super League, which is his most basic mission, if he fails, then his experience in China, will become meaningless.
But at this time, he added another happy trouble. When the draw for the one-sixteenth final of the FA Cup came out, he was happy, he didn't expect the team's luck to be so good, and he drew the same competitor in the Chinese League, Guizhou Zhicheng!
Guizhou Zhicheng is only behind Julong International, and there is also hope for promotion.
In the one-sixteenth finals, a single-elimination method is still used, and the winner is determined, but this time, the home advantage has become Guizhou Zhicheng.
I have to say that this is a small temptation, the last round was drawn to the powerful Jiangsu Suning, Leonardo has no extra ideas, this round is different, and the opponent's strength is equal, Leonardo's mind is different. He is very satisfied with the team's current attacking power, and he can still fight, depending on the results of the next league home against Inner Mongolia Zhongyou and away Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard.
If the league can win four in a row and have a points advantage over rivals, then in the FA Cup, it is completely possible to fight for it.
In addition, in training, he deliberately strengthened the offensive training, intending to raise the team's attacking power to a higher level.
For this reason, he also personally put on the battle and pointed out Huang Yinhu on the right side. When he played professional football, he was a right midfielder and midfielder at the continental level, and there must be a lot to learn from Huang Yinhu.
The advantage of a famous player as a manager is this, the players have to serve, like Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, he can calm the dressing room and the players listen to him.
Wang Dalong was also pulled out to practice alone, where is his gap, Leonardo knows more about it, poor ball control, and poor ability to break through. He appointed two people to accompany Wang Dalong to train, one is the captain Tang Ruhai and the other is Anderson. Tang Ruhai defended Wang Dalong closely, while Anderson taught him how to get rid of it.
This kind of treatment is unique in the team. Wang Dalong knows that it is impossible for him to improve by leaps and bounds in technology in a short period of time, but the training with Tang Ruhai can quickly increase his experience, and he can know what the people who defend him will generally do, learn from each other's strengths, and find a breakthrough more easily.
As for what Anderson taught him, he actually understands everything, but he can't learn Anderson, Anderson's technical skills, which he has practiced since he was a child in Brazil, where there are many masters, and he Wang Dalong, although he has also practiced his skills before, but in professional football, it is completely insufficient.
Anderson is much better than Wang Dalong in this point, and he is not as good as Wang Dalong in scoring goals on the court, so he can only laugh at Wang Dalong in training. Because Leonardo has changed formations, the positions of the two people do not overlap, and there is no much competition, but they have become collaborators, so the relationship between the two people is getting better and better.
Even Liu Jun has let go of his hostility, and now the three of them are the frontcourt trident, and they are partners together every time they train, which saves Leonardo a lot of trouble.
However, Leonardo also has a headache, in case one of the three people is injured, then the team will suffer, no one knows what the team will play, as a last resort, he can only promote the unqualified striker of Quang Nam Province to the bench, which is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, there is no way.
Of course, he didn't expect this kid to be able to go into battle to destroy the city for Dragon International, he just hoped that the three of them would be healthy and healthy, and there would be no injuries.
Professional football is like this, you can't do it, you just can't do it, the manager won't use you, it's useless to go through the back door.
※※※※
Against Inner Mongolia Zhongyou, Leonardo continued to send a trident. The opponent is a team in the middle of the league points, can't rush over, and can't be relegated, this kind of team is the most desireless, and it's best to play, of course, if the opponent gets a reward from other competitors, it's different, it will suddenly be violent.
But in the Dragon Stadium, even if they snipe, it is still too difficult.
In the first half, Dragon International showed its terrifying attack power! It was Liu Jun who opened the scoring again, this guy is not obvious, and he can always score the first goal, which is why although Wang Dalong is very strong, Leonardo still takes Liu Jun as the core.
Wang Dalong is still the second, and the second goal was an assist from Anderson. The tacit understanding between these two seems to be innate. Of course, this has to be another great contribution to Anderson, now Anderson only needs to take the ball to break through to the big penalty area, he handed over the ball, he no longer forced the goal, but to make the ball to Wang Dalong, Wang Dalong always lives up to expectations, is a trick, eat all over the sky, the middle of the penalty area volleys to score!
Anderson has completely calmed down his mentality, and if he can't score goals, then brush assists......
Assists are also stats.
Wang Dalong is used to enjoying the cheers of the fans at the Dragon Stadium, and this is his seventh goal and the fifth goal of the league! He doesn't even think about what rewards the system gives him, if he continues to play like this, he doesn't need a system, he can still be like a fish in water in the Chinese League, as long as Anderson is by his side......
In the second half, after Liu Jun was tactically replaced, Anderson spared no effort and sent another assist!
Wang Dalong scored twice again! He has increased his league goal tally to six, while Anderson has contributed six assists in three league games!
Wang Dalong himself was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what Anderson's goal and assist bonuses were.
To be sure, the assist bonus is definitely far inferior to the goal bonus, Wang Dalong's own bonus ratio is very different, and Anderson must be a lot!
Without Anderson, there would be no goals for him......
He felt that after the game, he must have a good treat......
In the end, Dragon International easily won Inner Mongolia Zhongyou 3:0 at home, and due to Dalian Yifang's three consecutive draws, they narrowed the points gap to two points!
Dalian drew with Shanghai Shenxin, Wuhan Zall and Beijing Renhe, costing them dearly, but they still lead Dragon International by two points in the standings.
And coincidentally, in the next round, the two teams will face each other in Beijing!
Wang Dalong's name finally appeared on the official website of the Chinese League and was elected as the best player in this round of the league.
The official website describes it like this - a rising star, three rounds and six balls! With two goals in the FA Cup, he is a superstar for Dragons International.
