Chapter 50: The Targeted
"Do what I can. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xu Yifei muttered.
Each game can be divided into four different phases according to attack and defense.
The first is the defensive phase, through a single steal or a multi-person joint defense, to contain the opponent's attack, the ultimate goal is to avoid the opponent from scoring.
The second is the offensive phase, using all imaginable means such as breaking, passing, shooting, etc., to send the ball into the opponent's goal.
The third is the transition from defense to offense. At this time, some of our players successfully made a steal or cleared the siege and started to counterattack, but most players have not yet entered the offensive state due to inertia.
The fourth is the stage of moving from offense to defense. The moment our attack failed, most of the players were not in place.
The latter two phases can be collectively referred to as the offensive and defensive transition phases. The most important feature of these two phases is the short time, which requires the players to have a quick reaction speed, to unfold quickly in a very short time, and to seize advantageous positions.
In addition, soccer is a team sport, and in order to improve the success rate of attack or defense, the formation type is very demanding. In order for the players to fully develop the formation in a very short time, they must have a high tacit understanding, otherwise it is easy to run together.
Throughout the history of football, all the strong teams that are famous in the world are all teams with a strong grasp of offensive and defensive transitions.
As for the offensive and defensive transition system, it is simply who should press the assist when switching from defense to offense, how to maximize the offensive efficiency, and who should stay in the backcourt. When switching from offense to defense, it is necessary to clarify who should return to defense, where to return to defense, and who should wait for opportunities in the front court.
These are the key parts of every team's daily training, but in actual games, there is another question that no team can avoid: who should be listened to when it comes to switching between attack and defense.
Because the situation on the pitch is changing rapidly, it is impossible to follow the training routine. When encountering a complicated situation, there must be one person who stands up and unifies the thinking of the whole team, otherwise some people want to go to the left and some people want to go to the right, and it will inevitably be a plate of scattered sand.
This person is the core of the defense on the defensive end, the playmaker on the offensive end, and of course it can be the same person.
But any strong team has at least one defensive core and offensive playmaker, more is better, but not more than two, otherwise everyone is the same as each other, and it will not be possible to talk about who is the core.
Barcelona, for example, has two attacking playmakers, Xavi and Iniesta. Of course, they are able to coexist on the pitch because they have a very high level of tacit understanding and almost complete tactical thinking, which is difficult for other teams to emulate.
It's a pity that Leeds United didn't even have one such guy before this game......
Now, Xu Yifei's calm style of play and indomitable will have been recognized by his teammates, making him the core of the defense. But he must add another pair of courage to his shoulders, shoulder the heavy responsibility of offensive organization, and make himself the absolute core of the team!
And he has to do it without compromising the quality of his defense, which is undoubtedly extremely difficult.
However, there is no endless road, and Xu Yifei has long known that he can do this.
"Pirlo's way of playing, I've been learning it for more than half a month, and I hope it can be used today!" Xu Yifei was already secretly excited just by thinking about it.
Andrea Pirlo, the core of Italy's midfield, is an organizational midfielder, and Makelele, who is known for his defense, are just two extremes. Xu Yifei actually learned a lot from these two people, which is a miracle.
Aside from a standard lift ball, Pirlo's most go-to weapon is his ability to catch open spaces and his long, accurate and sudden balls.
He can often spot the opponent's vacancy in the middle of a leisurely stroll, and deliver a long, over-the-top pass that is extremely accurate and penetrates the heart of the enemy, tearing through the opponent's defense in one fell swoop.
Spectators often watch the replay before discovering the subtlety of Pirlo's passing, which shows how unpredictable his passing is!
Xu Yifei began to learn both Pirlo and Makelele at the same time very early, but because he did not have the skills to support the long pass, he never tried to make a long pass.
Today, in order to complete the task of establishing an offensive and defensive conversion system, he finally decided to try his hand. It just so happened that with the full force of Manchester City's players, Leeds United's ground attack struggled to get past the midfield and urgently needed to tear apart the opponent's defence with long overhead passes.
That's right, according to the situation between the two sides, Xu Yifei's tailor-made offensive and defensive conversion system for Leeds United is a long pass and a hanging.
Under this system, a single striker acts as the main attacker, and the three forwards can step forward to assist when they have the opportunity to defend well. All attacks are initiated from the back. The rest of the players have to stay and defend at the back.
In the 77th minute of the game, Xu Yifei and Bayram worked together to snatch the football at Kolarov's feet.
After Xu Yifei took the ball, he took two steps horizontally, and at the same time looked up to observe the situation in the front court. In the middle, McCormack was replaced by Coloe. Toure and Zabaleta were heavily guarded and left no chance. Hall on the left was sprinting forward with all his might, successfully attracting Xavi. Garcia's defense, but he should have a hard time outplaying Garcia in heads-up.
"Michael. Don, it's up to you! With a secret sigh, Xu Yifei suddenly shook his left ankle while running, and a football was transmitted.
"The long pass was transferred to the right side of the pitch where there was Michael. Tang, Xu Yifei's vision is very broad, he has just dribbled horizontally from the right side to the middle lane, and suddenly there is a ninety-degree transfer!
Oh, Xu Yifei's pass was as fast as ever, and he crossed the midfield in a flash. However, Michael. Don was clearly ill-prepared, he didn't catch up with the football and went out of the line. Hey, alas, just Michael. Don was a little slower to start, otherwise it would have been a good offensive opportunity. It seems that Michael. Don is not skilled enough to work with his team-mates, and it's no wonder that he has just joined Leeds United. “
Michael. Tang ran back to near the center line and gave Xu Yifei a thumbs up.
A minute later, Xu Yifei took advantage of the dead ball to have an exchange with the four attackers.
In the 79th minute, Manchester City won a corner kick and Pertier cleared it with a header.
The football was pushed into the top right corner of the penalty area, and Silva and Xu Yifei rushed over at the same time to scramble.
Xu Yifei is very smart, he first moved half a step sideways, stuck in position, even if Silva has the ability to reach the sky, there is nothing he can do.
Oh! Xu Yifei did not control the ball, but directly transferred with his big feet!
The parts were eaten accurately, and the football barely spun and went straight to the Manchester City backfield.
The speed of the ball was still very fast, and the Manchester City frontcourt players directly gave up the defense!
Hall and Zabaleta jumped at the same time to fight for the first point.
Good! Hall controls the first point, header ferry! McCormack at the top of the box leans on Colo. Toure, direct volley, the ball is in! Hang on to the dead end! World Wave! “
The 6,000 Leeds United fans who came to the Etihad were instantly boiling!
They all jumped from their seats, roaring, shouting, and waving their fists frantically. David. Michelle got a large foam board out of nowhere, on which was written in huge English: "Liz, win!" ”
At least 60% of the credit for this goal should be credited to Xu Yifei's account, his ball passed too suddenly, too quickly and accurately, and directly penetrated most of the court!
Of course, the quality of the M44's shots is also very high, and the angles are very tricky, so that Pandilimon can only look at the ball and sigh. ”
After McCormack's goal, Xu Yifei raised his head excitedly and roared, then rushed to the front court and joined the celebration queue......
After setting up the ball from the tee point in the centre circle, Aguero, Tevez, Silva, Yaya. Toure invariably shot his gaze at Xu Yifei......
(Today's update is complete...) Well, it's three watches today, and the ball disciple feels like he can't lift his eyelids anymore, and he really wants to sleep...... )
