Chapter 176: Take the initiative to change
"Shen Feng is not only the top scorer of the Dragon Super League last season, but also the assist king, I remember that his assist data is 16, this season, Shen Feng is on the two fronts of the Dragon Super League and the AFC Champions League, not only scoring goals, but also a lot of assists, two assists in three rounds of the Dragon Super League, and two assists in two games of the AFC Champions League!" Xu Yang, as the number one "Fengchui" in the Longge football circle (Shen Feng's touter, can no longer be simply described as a fan), has all the data of Shen Feng at his fingertips.
"In the new season's Jianye team, Shen Feng's position has also changed compared with last season, from a striker to a shadow striker, that is, the '1' in the 4-3-1-2 formation, but this change has not affected Shen Feng's offense, he scored 7 goals in three rounds in the new season of the Dragon Super League, and also scored 3 goals in the first two group games of the AFC Champions League. It's hard to find a player around the world with a goal efficiency as he does! The more Xu Yang spoke, the more excited he became.
"Now, Lippi has also withdrawn his position in the Dragon Nation team, probably because he wants to rely more on his assist ability!"
"Through Shen Feng's performance on the two fronts of the club and the national team in the past year, Shen Feng is the kind of system player that the head coach likes to use the most and has strong adaptability!"
"Whether it is in the club or the national team, no matter what tactics are played, no matter who the opponent is, Shen Feng is always useful, and it is a big use, not a small one!"
"I'm sure he'll still be able to do something amazing now after being dropped back to midfield by Lippi!"
There is a type of player known as the "panacea", that is, the ability to play multiple positions on the field!
Football is a sport of eleven people, unlike basketball, there are only five people, and it is impossible for anyone to be able to play all positions on the field, because the forward, midfielder, guard, and goalkeeper have completely different requirements for the technical characteristics of players.
Just like Shen Feng, his forward skills are currently at the top level in Asia, and most of the attributes related to the front line are above 80 points, and the "speed" and "off-ball running" have reached 90 points.
But as far as the relevant skills of midfielders are concerned, Shen Feng's attribute values, not to mention the top in Asia, are in Longchao, and there are countless people who are stronger than him!
However, due to the stats of his "big picture" and "passing" skills, they also reached 80 points, which is considered a good standard, allowing him to pass the deadly ball in a flash of inspiration.
Moreover, because his original position on the field is a striker, the thinking of playing the ball is the thinking of a striker, which will not change due to the temporary change of the position on the field, so when passing the ball, he can think more from the perspective of the striker, and pass the ball that is more convenient and easy to handle for the teammates who are at the front.
In addition, Lippi let Shen Feng retreat in another position, which is to rely on his speed, so that he does not have to force the ball when he does not have a good passing line, and can choose to rush forward with the ball by himself, providing one more option for the counterattack launched by the Dragon Country team from the midfield.
This change in the arrangement of the Dragon Country team made the Dragon Country team play more calmly on the field after the start of the second half of the game.
Shen Feng's defensive ability, although not as good as Zhao Xuri, who was born in the back, but he is young, good in physical fitness, fast, and active in running, in the first half, because a person was in front, when he retreated to participate in the defense, he had to be ready to put in the counterattack at any time, so he could not invest too much energy in the defense, and now the position retreated to the midfield, and the task on his body also changed, and he had to play more roles in defense.
Shen Feng's main task in the second half is to nail the number one star of the Welsh team and the core of the attack - Bale when defending!
The duel between the two that was advertised by the media before the game was presented in such an unexpected form in this situation.
Bale did not have reservations in the game because of the commercial nature of the game, and he still worked quite hard, trying five shots on goal in the first half, but unfortunately under the key marking of the Dragon Country, the shooting effect was not very good, and none of them hit the goal range.
After the start of the second half, Bale continued to attack, but after the Dragon Country team replaced Shen Feng to mark him, the restrictions on him were more in place.
In the first half, Bale was also able to rely on his personal speed to produce the defenders of the Dragon Nation team, get rid of the defense, and then wait for the opportunity to shoot; Now, Bell is the first reaction, past Shen Feng, and can't get rid of him, under Shen Feng's entanglement, it is difficult to find a chance to get up.
Bale can only choose to pass the ball, otherwise he will face the Dragons' defense and lose control of the ball.
Better limiting Bale, the strongest attack of the Welsh team, has reduced the defensive pressure of the Dragons team a lot, and can divert some energy to counterattacks.
Although the players who withstood the front have changed, the counterattack routine of the Dragon Country team has not changed much, although Wu Lei is not as good as Shen Feng in terms of height and weight, but the speed is not slower than Shen Feng, and because of his small size, he is more flexible in shifting gear, and his ability to run without the ball and seek opportunities is also good.
From him to the front of the Dragon Country team, compared with Shen Feng in the first half of the game, he was only slightly lacking in ability to deal with high-altitude balls, and in other aspects, his ability did not drop too much.
Moreover, because the midfield of the Dragon Country team has an extra Shen Feng who is rushing very fast, when Wu Lei did not run out of the space to catch the ball, he could choose to be driven by Shen Feng with the ball, and because Shen Feng's position retreated to the midfield, he and Zhang Xizhe and Yu Hanchao's position was much closer, and when he was carrying the ball forward, Zhang Xizhe and Yu Hanchao were able to keep up with his footsteps, go hand in hand, pull the Welsh team's defense, and make Shen Feng's breakthrough more efficient.
All in all, as soon as the Dragon Country team opened the second half, the personnel adjustments were made, and the counterattack was further strengthened while ensuring the basic defensive intensity, so that the Dragon Country team was strengthened in both defense and counterattack.
The Dragons team's initiative to seek change has achieved good results in the face of the Welsh team's unchanged strategy.
