Chapter 4 Watching the Football Scene
Drove to the restaurant, there was a Bodhisattva named Qian Bai, everyone naturally had a big meal, but they didn't ask for wine, although Qian Bai didn't know that Yin Sen didn't drink, but he wanted to watch the ball in the afternoon, and he had to watch it more soberly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After eating, after drinking tea for a while, everyone set off for the court.
The Shuanglong Gymnasium in Qiancheng, as the home stadium of the Lanxiang football team, is not located near the training base, and after coming out of the restaurant, after nearly half an hour, Wu Dajun pointed to an indoor gymnasium not far away and said to Yin Sen: "It's here." ”
"Oh" Yin Sen responded, but at this moment, Yin Sen's mood was rarely a little excited.
Calculating, this seems to be the first league that Yin Sen is watching in China, although it is not a top league, but it is also a regular game, which is a childhood dream for Yin Sen, who went abroad very early.
It's really interesting to think about it, the dream of childhood will be so simple, but it seems to be out of reach, isn't life a process of turning childhood dreams into reality, so dreams, in fact, will be realized, but in this process, some you have waited, and some have not waited.
Ssangyong Stadium, not like San Siro, designed as an open gymnasium, it is located in a large range of parks, the name of the park is called Ssangyong Park, the name is written on a huge landing Taishan stone, in addition to the football field, there are some other venues, of course, it is not named after the word "Ssangyong", the car drove into the lawn on both sides of the park road to see a lot of people, but always feel that few people are coming for the upcoming ball game, this feeling, in a few people from the parking lot out of the lot, It was even more noticeable on the way to the gymnasium.
In Yin Sen's experience, going to watch a football game is like a festival or a grand party for fans, not only can you have a visual feast, but the most important thing is that you can experience a feeling of fans crowded together, that is, a feeling of meeting with like-minded people, maybe many people you don't know, but feel a sense of participation in the pilgrimage together. Even if the level of support is poor, when playing on home turf, the fans will always create a home atmosphere for the team, and sometimes, this atmosphere can really help the team win the game.
But here in Qiancheng, Yin Sen didn't feel a trace of atmosphere, maybe they came too late, or the time of the game itself was set appropriately, in short, it gave Yin Sen a feeling that there would not be too many spectators in this game.
In fact, as expected, when the four of them walked up to the west stand, Yin Sen looked around the court, the players had already warmed up on the field, and the referee, linesman and other staff also got together to communicate related matters, but in the stands, from Yin Sen's point of view, everywhere was empty and full of loneliness, and occasionally some spectators, sitting on chairs in twos and threes, were not very interested. It doesn't look like a home game at all, it's like a game at a neutral stadium, with no home advantage other than the stadium itself.
Yin Sen: "There are so few people watching the game! ”
Qian Bai: "Hehe, Asen, you also feel this way, this is too big a gap with you abroad, right?"
Yin Sen nodded.
Qian Bai: "These positions, but they are all money, they are all wasted"
Yin Sen and Wu Dajun looked at each other and smiled.
Yin Sen asked, "All the games in the minor leagues are like this?" ”
Wu Dajun replied: "Not really, today because it is a midweek and an afternoon game, there are naturally fewer people, I and Mr. Qian also came to see the last two weekend games, and there are not many people, but not so few, there are still one or two thousand people."
Yin Sen: "How many people can sit in this stadium?"
Wu Dajun: "About 30,000 people"
Qian Bai: "Hehe, there are more people watching the football in the stadium in our S City, but then again, the top league and the secondary league are originally two concepts, Lao Wu, I remember that Lan Xiang used to be a team in the top league, right?" ”
Wu Dajun: "It was very early, there was no concept of the Super League, it was all A, there was a while"
Mr. Qian: "Hehe, okay, let's come to see the game today, the atmosphere will be the same, I think in the future, if no one watches our game, let those students watch it, and the home field will have some advantages."
Although Qian Bai is not an expert in football, he understands very well that the home stadium should have the appearance of the home stadium.
Wu Dajun: "Actually, this has something to do with the local government's attitude towards football, if this is the case in S City, the government will not be able to sit still and send tickets everywhere, and the team will have to report criticism."
Qian Bai: "Qiancheng, hey......"
Yin Sen: "Really? That's good! ”
Qian Bai: "That's right, in recent years, as far as I know, the development of football in first-tier cities is really fast, in general, the government is supported and promoted, and because there has been no top league team in Qiancheng in recent years, many fans have gone to our S city."
Yin Sen said that he understood, to be honest, Qiancheng and S City are really close enough, since the high-speed rail has been opened, it is almost an hour away, which is longer than this time even if you want to drive a car from east to west in Yongcheng.
As the time of the game approached, the number of spectators in the stands increased slightly, and there were some people holding banners and flags, because they were sitting opposite, and they couldn't see what was written on the banners, so Yin Sen probably guessed that it was a phrase wishing the home team to reach the top league.
"There are still some die-hard fans of the home team," Qian Bai sighed.
"Yes"
"yes, that's good," Yin Sen responded.
When the whistle blew and the game began, the home team Lan Xiang wore a blue and yellow-edged ball suit to attack left to right, and the away team Ji Shi Tianchi wore a white suit and attacked from right to left. Just now, Wu Dajun has roughly introduced to Yin Sen that the strength of Lan Xiang's opponent Jishi Tianchi is in the middle and lower reaches of the league, and there has not been much improvement in recent years.
This can be seen in the opening Yin Sen, although the two sides in the midfield competition, the away team can still grab some balls, but after the ball is broken, they are looking for someone, think about their style of play, the midfield's response and organization functions are very important.
"The core of the Tianchi team, let's call it that, is the No. 11 player who was targeted by Lan Xiang's two players" Wu Dajun said to Yin Sen while saying, "Their playing style has basically not changed in the past few years, as long as this point is restricted to death, this team will die, it's so brittle, their results can be stable in the middle and lower reaches, it just means that the level of some teams is too low"
"Oh"
Wu Dajun: "So, basically this ball depends on how Lan Xiang attacks, Tianchi's defense is decent, and Lan Xiang's forward line is not very strong, but I think they should not be satisfied with the draw, these later rounds are still very important to them"
Qian Bai interjected: "It's the same for us!" ”
Yin Sen asked, "When will the other game start?" ”
What he meant, Qian Bai and Wu Dajun naturally understood, asked about another alternative team.
Wu Dajun replied: "Almost, the difference is about twenty minutes, my mobile phone text is live broadcast, I can see it as soon as there is a situation."
While speaking, there was a burst of cheering from the stands opposite, and as far as the eye could see, it was Lan Xiang's left side attacking, and he happened to run under the stands where there were still many fans, ushering in a burst of cheers.
Qian Bai: "It's much more comfortable to listen to a voice, otherwise it's too quiet." ”
Yin Sen agrees with this. If the audience is so quiet, the game is exciting, otherwise it is really unbearable, but then again, there are often a lot of cheers for a wonderful game.
Yin Sen watched the game carefully for a while, Lan Xiang's overall feeling for him, just like Wu Dajun described before, the offense is weak and the defense is strong, the team's style of play is still very clear, but the ability of the striker is limited, but fortunately, the opponent's attack ability is more in this game, which allows Lan Xiang's midfield to free up more strength to support the attack ahead, and it can be seen that the Tianchi team is quite hard to defend.
Wu Dajun: "If this continues, the Lanxiang team should be able to win the game, the gap between strength and weakness is still quite large."
Yin Sen nodded in agreement, and he was paying attention to the details on the playing field at this time.
Yin Sen often has a habit of watching the ball, first familiar with the team's style of play, the approximate position of the front, middle and back, the focus of the attack, and the core of the attack and defense, so that he can have a general understanding of the team, and then he will start from the key players, observe their characteristics of the ball, the ability of the left and right feet, the technique of stopping the ball, the passing technique, and the situation of running with and without the ball, etc., in order to understand the ability of each player, this habit of watching the ball or the ability to watch the ball, But when I was in Colombia, I gradually learned it under the ear of Coach Coleman. Of course, it often takes a long time to observe each player, not only to watch, but also to remember.
However, for the game in front of him, there is no need to be so detailed, Yin Sen quickly found the first object he wanted to observe among the players of the Lanxiang team.
The impact of key players on a team is huge, although we will all say that football is a game of eleven people, but first of all, this is a person must be composed of individuals, then the individual ability of these individuals, naturally has a direct relationship with the comprehensive strength of the whole team, modern football is developing rapidly, the team's playing style is varied, but the formation is nothing more than so several, in these formations, key players often appear in key positions, one to these positions more than others need personal technical guarantees, Second, from the strategic and tactical thinking of the team, there are often these key positions to launch offense or organize defense.
The key figure on the side of the Tianchi team is obviously the midfielder, he is a typical midfield engine, of course, this engine also has to be graded, like Zidane, it must be the V12 engine used by aviation, and the Tianchi team midfielder in front of him is much worse, and the single-cylinder engine of the Jiefang brand tractor is in front of it. Moreover, under the restrictions of the Lanxiang team, it is obvious that the engine is suspected of bursting.
Speaking of the Lanxiang team, Wu Dajun was basically right what he said to Yin Sen before the game, the front is weak, there is no sharp knife, and there is a lack of key players who can organize the offensive in the midfield, but on the defensive end, it is a good job. Yin Sen's eyes at this time fell on the No. 5 central defender of the Lanxiang team, 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 change formation, so that the midfield of the Lanxiang team is solid, but whether it is the five-person guard line or the three-person guard line, Yin Sen can see that their central defender will always be only one, No. 5, although he can't see the appearance clearly, but his figure is not tall, maybe around one meter eight, but his ability to control the high-altitude ball is quite good, his feet are clean and neat, and the use of defensive skills is also very appropriate. It doesn't leave the opponent a chance to make a foul.
It can be seen that he should be quite comfortable with the role of central defender, and the players will feel a lot more relaxed when there is such a player in the team.
But after the ball passed the midfield, the Lan Xiang team did not have many methods, could not see the far and near and left and right scheduling, the forward players did not actively run to tear away the gap, the midfielders did not have a good connection with the front, in Yin Sen's view, the midfield play style is too rigid, the midfielders can not be said not to be active, but the basic running is a straight line, too much looking for teammates in front of the pass, and where the teammates are diagonally and at the far end, it is estimated that it is not clear, the side players are focused on the bottom, but the bottom technology is not outstanding, So under the acceptable defensive ability of the Tianchi team, there were very few who could break through to the bottom line to form crosses, and those who walked towards the middle with the ball on the side, Yin Sen didn't see one for a quarter of an hour.
"No idea" is the evaluation given in Yin Sen's heart.
It really takes ideas to play football, the offense is too dogmatic, and expecting the attacking routines that you usually train to work can often be disappointing, because the textbook offensive routines must also have textbook defensive routines.
Of course, on Lan Xiang's side, there have been a few long passes from the backfield to launch attacks, and the No. 5 player should also feel the lack of offensive strength in the midfield, but in terms of offensive ability, Yin Sen knows that he is weak, and the position of the long pass has a certain idea, but the accuracy is not enough, and it is often taken or destroyed by the opponent's defenders.
At the end of the first half, the fire basically spread in the half of the Tianchi team, the two sides fought fiercely, and the players did not hesitate to run physically, but the fans in the stands were not enthusiastic, no wonder they, the scramble was fierce but there was no result, if the whole game was to watch the ball at the feet of the players on both sides to grab it, it was really not interesting, but according to Yin Sen's estimate, if the performance of the two sides is normal, then the goal should not come too early.
Qian Bai was a little anxious: "Asen, you see that Lan Xiang should be able to win this game, if the situation is not very good in the draw, then it will be even more difficult for me to decide."
Yin Sen smiled and asked Qian Bai not to be too anxious: "Lan Xiang doesn't have a good chance to score, but it's difficult to concede, their back line is still okay"
Qian Bai: "Do you think it will be a draw?" ”
Yin Sen: "It's hard to say, but in this situation, even if the Lanxiang team is the most capable of scoring, it should be the second half of the second half."
Hearing Yin Sen say this, Wu Dajun was a little curious: "Why is this?" ”
Yin Sen explained: "Overall, the advantage of the Lanxiang team is still quite obvious, there is basically no pressure at the back, and now they are basically a 3-5-2 formation, and the midfield is obviously pressed up. But there are not many ideas on offense, they are all ordinary routines, and although the opponent's offense is suppressed, the defense is still decent, as long as the body can, it should be able to resist for a while, but after all, the passive beating, the consumption of physical energy is much more intense than that of Lan Xiang, I estimate that this will persist until twenty minutes after the second half, enough to choke! ”
Wu Dajun: "Oh. Coach Yin, you're amazing. ”
Qian Bai laughed and said: "Of course, Ah Sen, you mean, during this time, the situation will not change too much, then I'll go to the toilet..."
Yin Sen thought he was joking, but he didn't expect Qian Bai to finish speaking, and he really stood up and walked out.
"Old Wu, are you going?"
"Uh, no need"
Yin Sen and Wu Dajun continued to sit, but Wang Ze got up and followed.
Yin Sen asked, "Angkor, do you have a list of players from the Lan Xiang team?" ”
Wu Dajun: "Yes, but I didn't bring it on hand, I can find it on my mobile phone, what do you want to know?" ”
Yin Sen: "The information of the number 5 central defender"
Wu Dajun: "Hmm, you wait"
After speaking, Wu Dajun took out his love crazy 4 and started searching.
After a while, Wu Dajun handed over the mobile phone.
Maybe the influence of the secondary league is not great, and there is not much information displayed on the mobile phone: Xia Jun, born in September 1992, is born in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and plays for the Qiancheng Lanxiang football team as a central defender......
There wasn't a lot of useful information, but Yin Sen did remember his name, Xia Jun.
Wu Dajun added in due course: "I know that this central defender is not very old, but he is the old man of the Lanxiang team, it seems that before the Lanxiang team changed its name, he was already in the team and has been playing this position"
Yin Sen: "Oh. Hey Angkor, when the time comes, you can show me the information of the team personnel."
Wu Dajun: "Okay, I will also Yongcheng today, and I will give it to you when the time comes, I have it on my computer."
Yin Sen: "Brother Ang, you are also going to Yongcheng today, the school reform is basically completed, right?" ”
Wu Dajun: "Well, I will go back to take a look regularly, and I also need to report the situation to the group regularly, and now the college league is imminent again, by the way, I heard that you gave up the head coach, did Mr. Qian tell you about the acquisition of the team?" ”
"That's not going to happen, I think Coach Shi's coaching level is above me, I don't know it myself, I know how to play football, you say that as the head coach, I don't need to say three fires, not a single fire."
"You're humble, Coach Yoon"
"No, Angkor, I'm being humble with you, but Angkor, I think that if Coach Shi can coach this team, maybe the effect will be better."
Wu Dajun asked, "You mean Lan Xiang?" ”
"Yes"
"How to say"
"In terms of the creation of the striker, Coach Shi still has something special, I have seen it in the school competition, and he has also cultivated a lot of people in the midfield, some of which are really good."
"I hope this thing can go well, the school has such good resources, if it can be used effectively, I believe the team will go a lot better."
"En," Yin Sen agreed.
Wu Dajun smiled again: "Haha, isn't there still you, Mr. Qian admires you a lot, and has told me a lot, and I also hope to see you lead our own team to the Super League next season." ”
Being complimented in person, Yin Sen was still a little thin-skinned and his face was a little red. After all, Wu Dajun's relationship with himself is not very close, so he can be regarded as a relatively close working partner.
Yin Sen asked, "Angkor, what is the strength of the opponent of the Lan Xiang team in the next few games?" ”
Wu Dajun: "I've really seen this, judging from the ranking, it's not high, at most it's the second echelon, and the ranking is not very high, but it's Fuding's side, and then there will be a few fierce battles, so I think the situation will be obvious soon, but we can't wait."
Yin Sen: "Their game should begin."
Wu Dajun: "It's already a one-goal lead"
"Fuding's offense is not bad, this is not long in the beginning, right?"
"Well, twelve minutes, the striker scores, sports battles, but that team has more ups and downs, and Lan Xiang is really the opposite, attacking and defending, from the data, the goal rate in the first 30 minutes is very high, but there are also a lot of goals conceded in the second half."
"Oh."
While the two were talking, the halftime was over, and Qian Bai finally returned to his position at the beginning of the second half.
Then a few people watched the game to themselves.
Yin Sen focused on picking a few people to observe carefully, although he knew that even according to optimistic expectations, the team could be promoted to the Super League, and Qian also bought the team, but the contract of the players is also a big problem, different environments, different coaches, different playing styles, and the players on this game don't know how much they can stay, but these things are not for Yin Sen to consider, professional habits make him involuntarily begin to look for the shortcomings of the players, and how to give full play to the characteristics of the players, and at the same time envision, If you are in the team, how can you adjust and control it, so that the team can play at a higher level.
As expected, fifteen minutes into the second half, the players of the Tianchi team were already showing fatigue, and the holes in the defense were getting bigger and bigger, and their physical strength could no longer support their fierce scramble like in the first half, so Yin Sen and the players of the Lan Xiang team knew that their opportunity had come.
Twenty minutes into the second half, Lan Xiang ushered in the team's most threatening shot since the game, a difficult midfield scramble, finally stood out from the encirclement, the midfielder stuffed the ball to his teammates in front of him before his body lost control, the striker received the ball, trembled, and kicked away when the defenders failed to step forward in time.
The fans shouted in the stands that it was a pity, but in fact, it was not all to blame on the striker, he didn't touch the ball a few times in the whole game, and he was not in good shape, even in the world's top league, even if he was a meter away from the goal, there were a lot of people who flew away, not to mention that the striker was not close to the goal.
Qian Bai: "It seems that Asen, what you said is right, we still have to wait until eighty minutes later."
Yin Sen: "Well, this is determined by their characteristics, and now it seems that there is no surprise, the Tianchi team can't stand it"
Qian Bai: "Hehe, this ball is boring to watch, the goal is actually used to drain the opponent's physical energy to win, Asen, do you think the next game will be very suspenseful"
Yin Sen thought for a while, and then shook his head: "Just now Angkor introduced the next game to me, the difference in strength is still obvious, I also understand the general level of the secondary league, Lan Xiang's midfield and backfield should be one of the best in the entire league, if nothing else, the stability is still enough"
Qian Bai: "Oh. Also, although it is ugly, at least it is not worrying, the back line is still solid, and the central defender is playing very well! ”
Yin Sen: "It's the team that Angkor told me about Fuding, the ups and downs are very obvious, there are many goals, there are many goals conceded, if you meet a team with a better defense, you will suffer if you don't keep it, because most league teams are slightly better defensively than offensive, so the price of a striker will be high, and scoring goals is a technical job after all." ”
Qian Bai: "Army, what's the situation over there?"
Wu Dajun: "The first half is over, it seems to be a 2:1, and Fuding is temporarily ahead. ”
Qian Bai: "Then let's wait for the final result, I hope that after this game, the situation can be clearer, then I can pay this money with peace of mind"
Although Qian Bai kept saying this in his mouth, Yin Sen still felt from the tone of Qian Bai's speech that Qian Bai's mood was not as nervous as he said, and he was a little calmer than Wu Dajun and himself at that time, it should be a kind of calmness that has been honed after so many years in the shopping mall, on the contrary, Wu Dajun and Yin Sen, although they are not two people who pay for it, but since Qian Bai let the two of them participate in this matter, they both feel that it is a big deal, once the decision is wrong, the consequences are unimaginable, so Yin Sen can see it, Along the way, the pressure on Wu Dajun was even greater than that of Qian Bai.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and Yin Sen did not watch the game very seriously for the next ten minutes, until the fans in the stands opposite erupted in enthusiastic cheers and a loud whistle came from the stadium.
Goals.
Among the four, the first to react was Wang Ze, who was sitting behind Qian Bai.
"Mr. Qian, you have scored!"
The three of them immediately reacted and looked at the field at the same time.
It was indeed a goal, the goal of the Lan Xiang team, and it was impossible to watch the replay on the spot, but the wanton celebration of the Lan Xiang team players on the field was still a relief.
Wu Dajun: "This ball is stable!" ”
The game is over.
The score of 1:0 was maintained to the end, and the characteristics of the Lanxiang team's steady and insufficient forward line were vividly reflected. The four of them had no intention of leaving the stands immediately, and their mood was a little nervous.
"How's Lao Wu?"
This is the third time that Qian Bai has asked Wu Dajun about the Fuding game after the game.
"It's still 2:1, Fuding is ahead, but judging from the text live broadcast, the opponent's offensive is not small, this game is not easy to say, there are still twenty minutes"
Qian Bai grabbed his two hands together, shook them, stretched out his arms again, and said, "Then let's wait."
So, four people, one mobile phone, waited quietly.
This reminded Yin Sen of the moment when he got the score in the high school entrance examination, the feeling of wanting to know the result, but not wanting to know the result, as time passed, Yin Sen saw that Wu Dajun's sweat stains had been clearly imprinted on the mobile phone through his fingers.
"*** scored!"
Qian Bai: "Ah, what, who scored the goal"
Wu Dajun: "Ah, it's the other party who entered, the score hasn't come out yet, wait"
Wu Dajun sat between Yin Sen and Qian Bai, the three of them were crowded very tightly, looking at the past from Wang Ze's point of view, the unaware Bao Zhun thought that a few people were doing something unseemly.
Wu Dajun: "It's really scored, the score has been updated, 2:2, counting injury time, there are five minutes left"
Qian Bai: "Damn, then Fuding still has to lose, it's good to lose."
Wu Dajun: "It seems that the opponent's attack is very strong during this time."
Yin Sen: "Hmm, didn't you say that Fuding is known for its offense?"
Wu Dajun: "It depends on the actual situation on the scene, I don't know what happened"
Qian Bai: "I hope Fuding loses, and loses cleanly"
Wu Dajun: "Injury time~, it seems that there is a draw"
Qian Bai: "Oh, then Lan Xiang went up"
Wu Dajun: "Well, hey, penalty, penalty"
Wu Dajun shouted a little loudly at this time, but fortunately, there are still many people in the stands, and the home team has won, so naturally there will be some fans who are willing to stay longer, take pictures, send WeChat or something.
Qian Bai: "Damn, Fuding penalty?" That's not about winning."
Wu Dajun: "It seems to be the opponent's penalty, well, it's the opponent's"
Qian Bai: "What, Fuding won't be killed, hehe, okay, nervous, Asen, what about you"
Yin Sen: "It's okay, it's quite dramatic"
Qian Bai: "The penalty should be fine"
A few people stared at their mobile phones, there was no video on the phone, just a live text, but the eyes of several people seemed to start to get out of the line and take penalties, but this was the result.....
Qian Bai: "How's it going?" ”
He still kept asking, although the content on the phone was as clear as what Wu Dajun saw.
….
"Hey, I didn't get in!"
Qian Bai: "Really didn't enter?" Dizzy, smelly."
Wu Dajun: "Didn't enter, the game is over, 2:2"
Qian Bai: "It seems that I really didn't enter, I thought Fuding could lose, it's really disappointing to me"
Yin Sen: "You're a little too down-and-out, Fuding is also your alternative, I hope he loses, is this appropriate?" ”
Qian Bai: "Hehe, yes, but this situation is too difficult"
Wu Dajun: "Now Lan Xiang's points have surpassed Fuding, basically this is the situation"
Qian Bai: "Hey, it seems that I still have to make a decision, let's go, I have to communicate with the think tank again, those statistics, I don't know what to update"
Yin Sen and Wu Dajun wanted to go back to Yongcheng, while Qian Bai was going to S City, but at Qian Bai's insistence, everyone still set off towards Yongcheng, and when the sunset was only the last ray, the car finally stopped at the school gate.
Qian Bai: "Okay, you're here, I have to go back to S City."
Yin Sen: "Don't eat first?" ”
Qian Bai: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat Ontario during this time, let's talk about it when this matter is over."
understood what Qian Bai meant, and Yin Sen didn't force him to stay.
"Then you go back and be careful."
"Okay, I'm used to running around."
