Chapter 19: An Unexpected Debut
After listening to Chen Jianhao's opinion, Fang Jizhou didn't seem to agree, and said: "I think it's quite strong...... At least it's much better than when I was back home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Chen Jinwu nodded and said, "It doesn't feel like it's the same thing as us, it's very tactical." ”
"You're right, but ......" Chen Jianhao raised his head, looked at the bench of Sporting Lisbon opposite, and said: "The team opposite is quite strong, as for our team...... It is estimated that it will not be able to hold on in the second half. ”
"Is it as bad as you say?" Wu Tianchang glanced at him and said, "It's comparable, isn't it still 0-0 now?" ”
"That's just appearances. Well, it's a bit like the way I used to play. ”
"What do you mean?"
Chen Jinwu said with a smile: "He said that there are too many people on the other side who do it alone." If you work well, it won't be like this. ”
※※※※※※
Chen Jinwu is not wrong at all. Less than five minutes into the second half, the opponent scored a goal. In the next 15 minutes, two more goals were scored. 3:0, basically locked the win.
Maybe it's the manager's credit. At halftime, they saw a very clear sight - the opposing player had been sitting with his head down, and a middle-aged man next to him walked over, pointing fingers, emotional, and seemingly cursing.
However, it was Silva's turn to curse at this moment.
Unexpectedly, instead of scolding, Coach Silva walked over to Chen Jianhao and his party with a helpless face.
Coach Silva asked: "Boys, do you want to go up and try it?" ”
Chen Jinwu's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The other three saw Coach Silva's finger pointing to the field, and combined with Chen Jinwu's reaction at this time, Deng Shi also understood.
"He wants us to play?" Wu Tianchang couldn't help but ask.
Chen Jinwu just hummed.
After a few seconds, Chen Jinwu asked, "Coach, do you really want us to go?" ”
"Why not?" Silva waved his hand and said, "You were already in the squad. ”
"But didn't we just come here today?"
"Four days ago, when you signed the team agreement, you submitted it to the Football Association for registration. You know, Portugal has very few restrictions on youth training, which is one of the reasons why foreign kids want to come and play here. ”
"But ......"
"Didn't you notice that the team could have brought seven substitutes, but I only brought three?"
Chen Jinwu reacted at this time, but he was a little surprised, and asked: "However, why did you let us sit aside at the beginning, and said that it would not affect the team's ......?"
Silva smiled and said, "Don't you think it's a brilliant idea?" It can test your adaptability, your ability to interpret the game on the spot, and of course, your ability to work under pressure. ”
Chen Jinwu was dumbfounded and said, "Ming...... I see. So, what about our jerseys? ”
"They've all been brought, and it's in a travel bag over there, with the name on it." Silva gestured to the other end of the bench and said, "Okay, without further ado, I'll tell you what's next." First, we used up two substitutions at half-time and can only play one, so we'll give you a minute to discuss who to put on later. Second, you shouldn't be able to win this game back, don't have psychological pressure, just play how you want, I'm just looking at your previous playing habits and technical characteristics. Thirdly, I need to step up my attack, I heard you have three strikers, right? With that No. 11 partner, think for yourself...... See, number 11...... The rest play on their own, and when they have the opportunity, they will shoot boldly, do you understand? ”
Silva's speech was extremely fast, and Chen Jinwu listened intently, but he also missed a lot of words. However, he could roughly understand the coach's intentions, so he nodded and said, "Roger, coach." ”
"Alright, a minute, hurry up and prepare. I'll bring you the jersey. ”
After Silva left, Chen Jinwu immediately said to the others: "He said that he wanted to change to a striker, who wants to play?" ”
Wu Tianchang said: "I am a defender, so I have nothing to do." ”
Fang Jizhou said: "I ...... I don't seem to be ready, and I don't feel like I'm in shape for the past two days......"
At this time, Chen Jianhao stood up and said to Chen Jinwu: "I'll go!" Don't rob me! ”
Chen Jinwu got the ideal answer, looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay! ”
※※※※※※
68 minutes.
Chen Jianhao high-fived the substituted player, and then slowly walked to the court.
Chen Jianhao wears the No. 27 jersey, and although he wants to wear the No. 9, he obviously has no choice. The opposing players glanced at him a few times, and some were whispering to each other, perhaps talking about his blood-red hair.
This conspicuous hair color, paired with a normal medium-straight hairstyle, actually looks old-fashioned. However, when they found that Chen Jianhao also began to look at them, they hurriedly withdrew their gaze.
At the moment, he is down 0-3, and the coach only gives him two instructions: play freely and shoot when he has the chance.
Isn't this Chen Jianhao's favorite style of play?
Chen Jianhao suddenly remembered that during the two years of playing in the amateur league in China, Fan Zhiyu also did the same. But he understands that it was not predestined, but that Coach Silva has given up on this game and just wants to take the opportunity to test his immediate ability.
Chen Jianhao took a few steps in place near the center circle and then ran to the empty space on the right. I ran back and forth twice as a warm-up.
His eyes sharpened. Now that you're on the field, you have to prove your strength.
The ball is in the hands of the opponent, corner kicks. I saw a player drive the ball out of the box, and the ball flew straight into the penalty area. Your defender leaps high and breaks the ball. The ball bounced to the edge of the box and fell to the feet of the opposition. Your own defenders then catch up and push them to the touchline.
Chen Jianhao was still jogging near the center circle to warm up, while observing the movement of the ball. His job is not to defend, so he has no intention of going back to help defend. Seeing that the players couldn't resist it, and pulled the opponent to the ground in desperation, he just shook his head.
The referee immediately stopped the game and ran forward to show a yellow card.
The opposition player took a free kick near the left touchline, and the ball flew into the box again, but this time no one got it, and made a big inside arc in the air, and then flew to the right and out of bounds.
Chen Jianhao happened to be wandering off the right side, so he simply ran forward and prepared to catch the ball.
Although he was far away from his teammate who served the ball, Chen Jianhao raised his hand, and his teammate threw the ball at him vigorously. There was no way, only a gap appeared in front of Chen Jianhao, and everyone else was stared to death.
Maybe because he is an Asian player and a new face, the opposing players didn't take him seriously.
Coach Silva was standing on this side, less than five meters away from Chen Jianhao. He shouted at Chen Jianhao, and then pointed to his teammate on the other side.
Chen Jianhao followed the prestige and found that a teammate was extending his hand to him from a distance. Chen Jianhao immediately understood the coach's intentions, and rolled the ball vigorously, and the ball passed through the four players at a breakneck speed and flew to the feet of his teammates 40 meters away.
The pass was extremely accurate, and despite the distance, his team-mate stopped the ball with ease.
“HaoQiu!” Coach Silva coldly yelled "good ball" in Chinese, and then gave Chen Jianhao a thumbs up.
Just when Chen Jianhao was stunned, Chen Jinwu, who was standing aside as a translator, shouted: "I taught him!" Don't get distracted! ”
Coach Silva smiled at him and raised his hand: "JinGong (attack)!" ”
Chen Jianhao immediately understood what he meant, nodded, and then ran towards the opponent's half.
Just as Chen Jianhao was activated, his team-mate on the left quickly blasted the ball forward, and another striker on the other side - the number 11 mentioned by Coach Silva - took the lead and ran towards the spot where the ball landed. However, just as he was close to getting the ball, the opposing defender suddenly shot out from the side, a flying tackle, and the ball slowly rolled towards the front of the goal. The goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball. If the ball had been faster, it would have been an own goal.
For the next few minutes, Chen Jianhao did not touch the ball again. However, he kept jogging on the field, going around the left side of the centre circle to the right and from the right to the left.
The other party was obviously dragging out time, they kept falling in the backcourt, and they thought they were playing Chen Jianhao around. In fact, Chen Jianhao was more to warm up, just to press the ball-holding players by the way. He felt his body gradually warm up.
The opposing full-back suddenly returned the goalkeeper and made a mistake, and the ball went out of the line. A teammate motioned for Chen Jianhao to take a corner kick, but he refused. He also did not go to take up a place in the box, but stood on the outside of the box and waited for a long-range opportunity.
However, to his surprise, the corner resulted in another goal conceded.
After the corner kick was taken, it was punched out by the goalkeeper. The ball flew straight out dozens of meters away and was picked up by the opposing midfielder. At this time, the defender did not dare to step up categorically, and stared at the player with the ball while retreating. I saw the opponent single-handedly hit the penalty area, and then cleverly picked the ball to the other side, and the receiving player followed, just a light top, and pierced the goalkeeper's five fingers.
The score on the field became 0:4, but Coach Silva did not react much. Anyway, today is doomed to a big defeat, and losing 4 goals is no different from losing 5 goals.
The opposing players did not celebrate hard, the players did not show too decadence, everyone returned to the midfield as if nothing happened, and the game continued.
Chen Jianhao naturally understands this feeling, and when he played in the amateur league in China before, he often had a one-sided situation. The only difference is that in the past, it was he who slaughtered his opponent, but today it has become slaughtered by the opponent. When you first concede a goal, you will inevitably be frustrated, but when the game really loses suspense, that frustration disappears. Especially in this kind of competition, which does not affect the final ranking, it doesn't matter if you lose more or less.
