On March 7, the day before the game, there was only an adaptation training, and in their own home stadium, the team did not pay much attention to it, and only carried out some simple coordination drills.

Sunset is called by the coach to work as a translator, and sometimes has to help Arshavin communicate with his teammates, and the contact with Ivo is the most troublesome, so Sunset first translates into Chinese, and then the Portuguese interpreter explains to Ivo.

After translating a few times, Sunset felt how troublesome it would be if the language barrier was not spoken, and Zhen Xuexi told Tymoshchuk to consider his physical fitness and send him on the field when facing strong teams, and the team would let him get enough rhythm to recover. Russian translator Wang Rui actually translated that Timoshchuk would be played in some games, and most of the games would allow him to get enough rest, and he was disheartened by the enthusiastic Timoshchuk.

This causes Sunset to pay attention to the language and begins to learn German with Timoshchuk and English football terminology with Arsha.

Wang Rui, who learned that his translation had made a big oolong, begged Sunset in private, but he didn't mention it again. However, Wang Rui was much more careful after this, and deliberately left a phone number, and when he encountered an inaccurate word, he would consult Sunset first.

After smooth communication, the team's offensive coordination was much smoother, but Arshavin still felt that it was not good enough, and called Sunset to cooperate with his teammates at the end of training.

Sunset and Arshavin do have a more tacit understanding than others, after all, Ukraine and Russia are both branches of the former Soviet Union, and although there are personal characteristics in running and passing, the general idea is the same, and it is natural to cooperate more smoothly.

When the back court made a long pass, Arshavin also stopped with a cushion under his feet, and the afterglow on the other side immediately started along the ribs and quickly went straight forward.

When Arshavin cut inside in front of the penalty area, Sunset pulled out at the same time to draw some attention from the defence.

When Arshavin faked a real pass, Sunset also completed the turn and cut into the small penalty area, which instantly ripped the defense up and attracted the attention of the goalkeeper.

Arshavin's real pass was Timoshchuk in the back, and he immediately turned and pulled to the right after the pass, and he was also trying his best to distract the defense and open up space in the middle.

Timoshchuk's long-range shot hit the crossbar, but his teammates applauded the combination.

Unlike laymen who are judged by goals, the players know that the most valuable thing in this offensive demonstration is the three-man off-ball running and response. They have been playing football for many years, although they have been useless from the beginning, to being too lazy to run in the future, and now they have no one to cooperate and can't run if they want to run, but when they are really displayed in front of them, they are still knowledgeable.

Arshavin then put Sunset in the center position, broke through from the right side, and called Ivo to come over.

Arshavin began to cut inside around 40 meters, and at the same time, Sunset bypassed the big black Gomez and cut into the goal, and after rounding, he did not go straight in, but instead of running in a straight line, he kept on the offside line, but could cut forward at any time. Gomez didn't dare to get out of the way with him, and only left central defender Jung In-hwan went back to him.

When Arshavin cut inside, Ivo did not pull outward, but faced Arshavin and began to cut inside and run empty, but his line was deeper, and he rushed directly into the penalty area with Yang Kuo, which was involved, and did not bring Yang Kuo to Arshavin, increasing Arshavin's burden.

At the moment of the crossing, Arshavin and Ivo made a quick two-man pass that seemed to have little effect, and the moment the ball was pushed to Ivo, it was knocked back to Arshavin.

But this short pass made the defense not dare to relax their guard on Ivo, for fear that Arshavin would knock on Ivo who inserted into the box from the right side. This knock also made Yang Kuo hesitate, and even if he immediately chased after Ivo again, Ivo had already pulled enough distance to get the angle of the shot, and Ivo's threat jumped several levels in an instant.

Sunset in the box suddenly pulls out, and Arshavin hands the ball to Sunset in a staggered manner, and Sunset kicks it back, not giving Jung In-hwan, who is closely marking behind him, a chance to destroy.

Sunset's return pass didn't go back to Arshavin's feet, but knocked to the left side of the penalty area, and he just pulled the gap left by Jung In-hwan's exit, and Arshavin also rushed in. Caught up with the ball and fired straight at the far post, kicking the ball out and into the net before Gomez went down to block.

This time it is also shown that the off-ball strategy, which is the most lacking skill of domestic players, can create space and time for the ball carrier to shoot, so that the ball carrier can shoot more easily.

In addition to the subtlety of the off-ball movement, these combinations allowed the players to confirm that Arshavin's movement belonged to Lian Po, who was still able to eat rice, and had more confidence in Sunday's game.

The whole team stayed in a hotel near the stadium that night, and in order to familiarize Sunset with the atmosphere of the team as soon as possible, Zhen Xuexi asked him to stay with the team when he played at home.

Xiao Zhi is in a standard room with Sunset, and when he returns to the room, he pulls Sunset to talk about running without the ball.

In the past two years, with a large number of foreign coaches entering Huaguo, the biggest headache for Chinese players is the lack of ability to run without the ball. The players also began to pay attention to this ability, especially in the afternoon, when they saw a series of wonderful off-ball runs and strategies, Xiao Zhi was also very interested.

Sunset was taking out her homework from her bag when she was interrupted by Xiao Zhi, a little crying and laughing.

"Brother Xiao, who did you listen to say that we don't have the ability to run without the ball? How easy it is to understand running without the ball, it is the running when there is no ball, who doesn't run when we usually don't have the ball? I think what they're really saying is to play off the ball, to respond, to help a player open the line, to draw away defenders, to give him a chance to shoot or pass. I think the more dangerous the run, the more it can attract the attention of the defense, and in addition, we should pay attention to maintaining contact with the players, and if the defenders see it dead or block the passing line, there is no threat, and there is no way to respond...... As for Brother Xiao, you just need to pay attention to opening up space for Arshavin and shooting and passing lines, if you think he wants to hit the goal, you will pull it to the side......"

It's easy to say, but in fact, it still depends on the tactical literacy of the team, understanding the development direction of the game, the defensive characteristics of the opponent and the ideas of their teammates, plus the tacit understanding of cooperation. Playing a small habit of reducing ten will, can eat the opponent raw with speed and physique, and absolutely do not use the brain, that is, they are not used to using their brains, and most of those who have brains go to study honestly. There is a serious lack of tactical literacy and independent thinking ability, and they are not accustomed to active cooperation, so they lack the ability to run without the ball and respond to the problem.

But Xiao Zhi is by no means the kind of player who has no brains, and as soon as Sunset said it, it became clearer and clearer, and he slowly came up with a clue according to the afternoon demonstration, and he couldn't wait to pull the whole team up and practice now.

Seeing Xiao Zhi in a daze, Sunset didn't bother him, many situations on the field are things that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and they can only be understood by themselves, and it is useless to say more.

So Sunset concentrates on her homework.
