Chapter 21: Sworn Enemies

In the afternoon, Yin Sen returned to the base, and the next day, everyone packed up and headed for Penang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Penang is located in the western part of China, which is considered a high-altitude place, and Penang is not like the Penang in Malaysia, and this Penang is not the Penang. Penang is a small place, but it is naturally much bigger than Yongcheng, there are no other well-known football teams around, which makes Penang fans become extremely fanatical about the Penang Suns, when the players approached the hotel by bus, the door of the hotel, and the fans along the road held large and small signs, as if to march and protest to mock the Qian players, Yin Sen felt that in the face of the Qian family from afar, Penang did not intend to do the friendship of the landlord, but a little dismounted.

The team arrived a day early, the club arranged a junior high school stadium in Penang for the team for training, the field conditions were not ideal, the potholed lawn, and the remaining mud in the dirt pit, so that the players training was very unsmooth, for this, De Boer did not say anything, except for the announcement of closed training and refused to be interviewed by local reporters, his energy was all focused on the team's training. Occasionally, some local people, breaking through the blockade and sneaking into the field, speak ill of the players and coaches, some players heard it, and were very angry at first, but when they saw the calm coaching staff, they were also discouraged.

"Our opponent this time is a team with a low score, Penang Sun, I think everyone should be familiar with it"

"So, in this game, we have an advantage!"

Hearing De Boer say this, many players were puzzled.

"Advantages? Psychologically, home and away results, or geographically, we are at a disadvantage. ”

De Boer saw everyone's expressions, and from the Q&A in the past few days, he basically knew the anxiety of the players.

He Ping said: "Everyone knows that our opponents have broken into the Super League many times, but as far as I know, all of them have been back in the first division that year. And as far as I know, they haven't invested in big transfers in recent years. In other words, their strength has reached a bottleneck, and if they want to go up, there is no other way than to improve the individual ability of the players and the technical and tactical level of the team. ”

An Gaofeng said secretly: "Doesn't this mean that they have been playing together for many years, and they have become more tacit, and their playing style has been very formed?" ”

Hearing An Gaofeng's whispers, many players laughed, but looking back, what De Boer said was actually right, at this time, a problem from an angle, many things from different angles will have different results, it is obvious that De Boer is very good at looking at problems from different angles, and what the meritorious coach has experienced, after all, is much richer.

"And we're the first year we're in the Premier League, and I'm sure we're going to be here for a long time, you have a lot of potential, and I want you to have the confidence to win, our opponents, but the teams at the bottom of the table, I believe that as long as you play normally, it's not very difficult to beat your opponents."

De Boer's words are inspiring, but after all, the players are adults, and they will not be like divine help just because of a few words, but it is true that these words have allowed them to unload a lot of baggage, football competition, and finally return to football.

"Next, let's talk about tomorrow's game ........"

I have to say that at this time, De Boer's art of speaking, one ring after another, from humanities to competition, from feelings to skills, well versed in the iron and blood of German football, De Boer's arrangement this time can be described as bold.

"Wu Yuan, Zeng Zhi, Qiu Dabing, tomorrow's game, the three of you will start and play as a striker......"

This is the first time since De Boer took over the coaching of Qian that he has arranged the tactics of three forwards......

On Sunday, the weather was sunny and cloudless, probably a regional feature, with occasional gusts of wind blowing and the race scheduled for four o'clock in the afternoon, before the sun had set.

Yin Sen and others have been to the stadium in the morning to adapt to the venue, at that time there were no fans sitting in the stands, the whole stadium is not big, it is estimated that the full seat is not 30,000 people, it should be a dedicated football field reconstruction, there is no runway on the side of the stadium, and the distance between the stands and the stadium is relatively close, which provides a good vision for the fans, this is the grave court that Wang Bo often says, although it is not boxy, but this sense of urgency and depression, the Tao is really a little godlike.

In the afternoon, when Yin Sen and others appeared on the court again, it was completely different from the morning, maybe because of the weekend rest, the empty stands were basically saturated, and many fans pulled banners with some words written on them, but Yin Sen's myopic eyes were not clear, anyway, I felt that the fans were quite enthusiastic. This somewhat evokes memories of Yin Sen's past.

"Assen, Assen"

"Yes"

"What are you doing, you shouldn't!"

"Oh, think about something, what's wrong?"

"It's up to you today"

"Dizzy, what are you doing?"

"I don't know this class of brothers, I'm still a little afraid of the sun, I can't let go of my hands and feet, you are the most awesome here, of course it's up to you."

After Wang Bo finished speaking, he patted Yin Sen on the shoulder, and his serious appearance let Yin Sen know that he was not joking.

"I'll do my best."

With the team, the two sides have fought many times with their opponents shaking hands one by one, and many people are familiar with each other, but the smiles on the faces of the Penang players, Yin Sen does not have much kind feeling, like the joy of a cunning big bad wolf seeing a lamb.

"Old money, there are new faces"

At the end of the team was a tall player, wearing the captain's armband, and he shouted naturally Qian Bing. Yin Sen was lined up in front of Qian Bing and happened to hear the words of the two.

"Oh, yes"

"I'm sorry to let you go back empty-handed again"

The captain said with confidence.

Qian Bing was also a little angry, but after all, he was the captain, and his heart was still quite big, and he said, "Okay, let's see." ”

The captain of the other party, who was ignored by Qian Bing, seemed to be a little surprised, feeling that although the previous Qian Bing was also such a personality, he was not so indifferent. So his eyes turned to Yin Sen and he looked at it seriously. However, Yin Sen did not react, and passed by a long time ago.

"Did you see Xiao Cui's eyes just now?"

"He's not always like this, Daddy Dead"

"Haha, Anzi, if you sum it up well, I'll obey you"

"I'll see you announce it later, flatbread!"

"Look at it"

"Where do you get your confidence?" Shen Qiuran struck.

"Old Shen, what nonsense are you telling the truth!"

Qian Bing: "Shut up, be careful of being patted." ”

A passing ceremony, the game gets into the main topic.

Yin Sen has always felt that people in northern China are generally taller, but seeing the Penang players standing opposite, Yin Sen knew that his thinking was too narrow, Yin Sen felt that he was no longer short, and should be above the average height of the players, but compared with the players opposite, at least just shook hands all the way, Yin Sen didn't think that anyone was obviously shorter than himself, obviously taller than himself!

To be honest, the football field is not based on height to judge the victory, but the tall team, will definitely have some kind of advantage, high-altitude advantage, the Chinese team many years ago, in Asia also has this advantage, that time to occupy a place in Asia, this advantage and around this advantage to build a style of play, is one of the reasons, but in recent years, the height advantage of the national team has not been so prominent in Asian teams, and even compared with some teams in West Asia.

"I still insist," An Gaofeng said behind Yin Sen without complaints.

"The three strikers arranged by the old man today must be crazy!"

Yin Sen smiled, he knew that there were not a few people in the team who thought the same as An Gaofeng, Yin Sen had also heard Qian Bing say that in the face of Penang before, the coach was mainly based on shrinking defense, and if he could steal, he would steal, even then, conceding the goal was inevitable, and after many games, the players' fear of Penang City had a certain psychological shadow. However, if you want to say that you are not afraid of facing Penang, and even feel that you have an absolute advantage, that person is not Yin Sen, but De Boer, the dignified German meritorious coach, do you say that you will be afraid of an Asian league-level relegation team? If someone hears it, it will definitely laugh off the big teeth.

"Calm down, think about what I told you before, you are no worse than your opponent"

At this time, the coach's words before the game, this old man will always say this kind of thing before the game, of course, his purpose is obvious, but the strange thing is that the players really eat him, and when he is a little panicked on the field, many people will think of the coach's words, and then slowly calm down.

Zhang Fei dribbled the ball along the side.

Due to Penang's home stadium, Ben City's players seemed to play a little unrestrained, and the midfield players pressed over the halfway line early, and soon some players robbed Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei didn't do anything brutally, as soon as the ball arrived at ***, Shen Qiuran who came to pick up in the middle of the road, and then handed it to Xiang You, seeing that he was forced to be so anxious as soon as he came up to Penang, Xiang You took the ball a little trembling, but he still smoothly handed the ball to Jiang Fan, who retreated, Jiang Fan signaled Xiang You to calm down, Jiang Fan still has some command ability on the court, although this is not his duty, Jiang Fan did not turn forward after taking the ball, and continued to give it back to Shen Qiuran, not to mention that the Penang players were aggressive as soon as they came up, no matter how they said, with their strong physical advantages, I always want to give you a dismount, there is no special opportunity at this time, if you force yourself forward, you will often lose more than you gain, the general law of the game between the two sides in this matter, Qiu Zhufu will occasionally talk to the players about this, and the players listened to it, and they all felt that this guy must have studied the Art of War.

In the first few minutes, the game progressed very flat, in the eyes of the audience, it was the Qian players who were playing negatively at all, and the Penang team was forced to grab, and they immediately passed back, so they also had a hold, so the boos were everywhere, and they continued to float over the huge stadium, which made Penang's home advantage more vividly reflected, and the players of Penang City kept running as if they had taken a stimulant, as if their first goal was waving to them not far away.

Ten minutes, Jiang Fan tried to pass the ball forward to Yin Sen, the ball was inserted in the middle of the Penang team in the middle of the game to steal, and immediately organized a counterattack, Jiang Fan was eager to make up for his mistakes, the kick was too hasty, was the opponent a change of direction, lost the center of gravity, left behind, the midfielder, seems to have a great increase in confidence, he has foreseen that he will pass the opponent's defender, shoot and score, this is not his whimsical, half a year ago, in the face of the same opponent, he staged such a good show.

Qian was cut off in the active attack, the defensive system in the midfield did not work well, and the only players in Penang faced were Shen Qiuran and Zhang Fei.

But what makes him a little strange is that after Jiang Fan was thrown away by him, Shen Qiuran stepped forward very quickly, he didn't seem to mind that there was a small gap left behind him, once his defense made a mistake, it was likely that the opponent would face his own goal, Shen Qiuran in his mind, should be classified as a more rational central defender, so bold to make this decision, it is indeed surprisingly bold.

However, the Penang players are still very confident in their foot work, and their speed with the ball has not slowed down, shaking their upper body from time to time.

Shen Qiuran didn't eat the opponent's set, he concentrated on staring at the opponent's next game, although there are many situations in the feints, but they are generally based on a stable center of gravity, so the general can be judged by the changes in the opponent's feet, whether he really wants to change direction, or feints, of course, there are exceptions, but the striker of Bincheng does not seem to have that technique.

One side did not brake, and the other side was very tough, so, soon, the two collided together, Shen Qiuran had no physical advantage, he fell heavily to the ground, and the other party also fell to the ground, but he reacted quite quickly and immediately wanted to get up, but Jiang Fan behind him had already killed, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he kicked the ball out of the sideline, temporarily alleviating the situation.

Jiang Fan helped Shen Qiuran to confirm whether there was a problem, and then the two of them returned to their positions.

The players in Bencheng looked at this scene, a little surprised, brave and decisive, this is not like the consistent style of play of the weak Lan Xiang in memory.

Shaking his head, he ran towards the penalty area, and the sideline ball in this position could be thrown directly into the penalty area for Penang, which has been called the regular tactical play of the Penang team.

Penang's No. 13 player, Zhu Li, was originally known as the strongest man in the first division, and now that Penang has been promoted to the Super League, this title may also be upgraded, and it is rumored that he is a man who can shoot directly from the middle line. With such a big advantage, the Penang team will naturally try their best to take advantage of it, and several forwards have already rushed into the Chien's entry, and the spectators in the stands began to hold their breath after a burst of cheers, in their minds, maybe this is the moment to change the score.

Zhu Li wiped the football with his jersey, as if trying to add some friction, then stepped back a long distance, taking a long breath after the referee's whistle.

Yin Sen's position is in the front, and this time he did not participate in the first line of the defensive position in the penalty area, but wandered around the periphery, interfering with the opponent's second and third landing points, so he could clearly see the whole process of Zhu Li's throw.

I saw that he frowned slightly, stared at a few steps, started, and the two hands that took the ball waved extremely fast from the side and back, and then this momentum, shot, in one go, seeing the speed of the ball, Yin Sen deduced that the ball could fly extremely far.

Sure enough, after the ball was shot, there was a wonderful arc, running towards the penalty area, and it was obvious that there was a goal, there was a big tall man in the penalty area looking forward to it, this landing point, this selection, obviously, it was trained to implement so accurately.

Qian is not unprepared, Penang's style of play is quite simple and violent, these small routines naturally can't escape De Boer's eyes, for this kind of hand-tossed ball attack defense, Qiu Jufu has also carefully rehearsed many times, including the defense of different distance serves, the task of the defenders is very clear, intensive suppression, in the case of no fouls, try to use some reasonable small actions to interfere with the opponent's jump, even if the opponent fights for the top, can not let him send force, and then the players in the middle line are scattered on the line of the small penalty area, pay close attention to the second drop point, Try to get the ball out of the danger zone. Although Yin Sen and the forwards also need to retreat to assist in the defense, De Boer asked them to pay more attention to the quick counterattack after gaining the ball.

Although the Penang strikers have all entered the box, they are still numerically inferior compared to the Qian defenders, and perhaps they are quite confident in their individual ability, but they are not overly alarmed.

The ball entered the penalty area smoothly, and the players on both sides jumped up and fought for the ball at the same time, although the Qian players were desperate and tried their best to compress the opponent's activity space, but the ball was really impartial and was grabbed by the Penang striker, but fortunately, it was squeezed by the Qian family, and the height of the jump was not enough, although the action of heading the ball was made, but the strength was limited, although a certain amount of rotation was added, but the ball speed was relatively slow, Qian Bing dragged the ball out of the crossbar with one hand after judging the trend of the ball. However, it was still scared that Qian Bing was sweating.

The audience is fierce, which brings enough momentum to the players in Penang, followed by a corner kick opportunity, Qian struggled to scramble, Zhang Fei kicked the ball to the front court, and finally created a respite for the players, Yin Sen can see that the strong physical advantage of the Penang team, as well as the momentum of the home team, did put pressure on Qian in a short period of time, before the game Coach De Boer's words, although the players tend to calm down, but after this period, it is difficult to say.

There has to be a counterattack, Yin Sen thought.

Zhang Fei's clearance, obviously only pursuing power, but it is also a coincidence, near the landing point of the ball, there are no Penang players, although there are no Qian players, the ball fell on the right side of the Penang half, and continued to go towards the bottom line after touching the bottom, which was also a relatively safe ball, after the Penang players started, it should be easy to get the ball, but maybe it was a standing problem, the closest to the ball was Penang's central defender, but he did not pursue it for the first time, maybe he was sure that the ball would roll out of the bottom line.

But no, after Zhang Fei's clearance, many people on the court started chasing the ball, the earliest one, but it was Qian's soldier, an inconspicuous striker, his position was originally on the right side, this time he retreated to the half court to assist in the defense, and started the pursuit at the first time. In Yin Sen's eyes, the soldier is not tall, but he is still quite burly, and his running speed is not very fast, the only outstanding thing is his endurance and jumping ability, it is said that he was the local long-distance running champion when he was in school, maybe De Boer saw this only advantage, so he recruited him into the lineup and acted as an important link in the counterattack.

And now, his role seems to be slowly being played.

Seeing the sprinting soldiers, several backfield players of the Penang team were stunned for a moment, and they also chased forward, and the central defenders of Penang, seeing this scene, also knew that they had lost the opportunity and began to arrange the backline.

Yin Sen is naturally moving forward, and An Fengfeng, who is behind, is also following step by step.

It's really hard work, it seems to be a vain and desperate pursuit, as a result, it really let the Wu Yuan get the ball in a position close to the left bottom line, a right forward, back to the half to assist in the defense, and then start to chase along the left court to the bottom line, this kind of performance, with a desperate Saburo to describe, should not be an exaggeration. However, the Penang players who came over from the four breads were also imposing, and they also had their own background of the shouts of the 10,000 spectators. It is foreseeable that it will not take a moment for the three of Penang to surround the soldiers, and when the time comes, there is no need for too much defense, and he can only be called the turtle in the urn.

As a striker, this sense of crisis is still there, breaking through is not his forte, for the sake of today, is to touch the ball as soon as possible when the opponent's encirclement has not yet been established, he knows that Zheng Jiang's position is relatively fixed, and he occupies a high point in the penalty area, but in today's game, it doesn't seem to be a high point, and Zeng Zhi has already run to the other side, he doesn't need to repeat it, because at this time, several midfielders in the Qian team have arrived, so the team saw Yin Sen.

For the soldiers, Yin Sen is still a stranger, he is not like Wang Bo, he can call his teammates brothers and sisters without saying a few words, he is usually very quiet, even in training, in addition to the coach counts him the least to speak, but for Yin Sen's ball skills, the soldiers are still quite admired, Yin Sen in training and even in the game showed the kind of control of the ball, as well as the accuracy of the pass, so that the soldiers feel comfortable in their hearts. At the same time, in front of Yin Sen, he had an inexplicable inferiority complex, and always felt that although both of them were playing, the gap in grade was too big, and the only thing worth consoling was Yin Sen's physical fitness that was slightly different from him.

So when he saw Yin Sen, the kind of accident that had been revealed in Yin Sen's eyes, Wu Yuan suddenly felt happy in his heart, and he began to realize that no matter what, he still has something to do in some fields, and what he has to do is to have no distractions.

Yin Sen's position is very good, in the Penang defender's side and back, but just in the line of sight of the half-turned Warriors, the Warriors do not need too much adjustment, with the left foot that is not good at the ball 45 degrees of the floor back to the middle, Yin Sen took the ball, slightly left at the top of the penalty area, the Penang team's reaction is still extremely fast, seeing the Warriors pass the ball at the same time, there are defenders running towards Yin Sen's position, burly, and with Huang Liang's captain's armband, the Penang players who were a little worried, Seeing that it was their captain who stepped forward to defend, they were decisively relieved, the captain's defensive ability, they themselves knew, and some fans even called him directly as Penang's Maldini.

The fans were even more wide-eyed, watching that if "Maldini" simply grabbed the ball at the opponent's feet, by the way, he could also boo the opponent for a wave, but Yin Sen did not do as they wished, the ball did not even exceed five seconds at his feet, when "Maldini" was ready to take the next defensive move, Yin Sen made a very simple lateral pluck, and gave the ball to the middle of the gap, there is no one there, but Yin Sen is very sure that someone will come up soon, this person is An Gaofeng, who is with him.

Speaking of the tacit understanding between An Gaofeng and Yin Sen, it is really unusual, An Gaofeng has not played with Yin Sen for a long time, but to say that he can cooperate with Yin Sen, the most adequate support for him is still this An Gaofeng, who used to be a substitute team, not only did a good job of protecting and supporting Yin Sen behind him, but even grasped some of Yin Sen's thoughts after taking the ball. This time, despite some risks, Yin Sen is still sure, after all, at this distance, An Gaofeng's difficulty in running and getting the ball will not be higher than that of Wu Yuan.

Yin Sen's hidden ball, and An Gaofeng's sudden insertion to take the ball, is a small routine, but it really surprised the Penang team, they couldn't imagine that the current Qian team's former Lan Xiang team can be so calm in the front court.

Penang "Maldini" judged the situation slightly, and then turned directly in front of Yin Sen and leaned towards An Gaofeng, he recognized An Gaofeng, and naturally knew that the other party was originally just a substitute player, and he only had very little playing time every season, and now he got the ball, it was indeed a good opportunity, but.

"Do you really have a grip on it?" thought Maldini.

The current situation does not need to be reminded by "Maldini", as Qian's No. 1 "mocking brother" has even reached the point of even mocking himself, how can he not understand how many pounds and taels he has, the center of the top of the arc is indeed a very sensitive position, but as a defensive midfielder, he does not have much experience in taking the ball in this position, and it is really tricky to deal with.

However, this time is different, the glorious advance is close to the Super League, An Gaofeng's identity is good, at least in the first few rounds of the league, his playing time, although not the longest one, but also the top few in the team, the coach took a fancy to him, it was De Boer, who dug out the potential tacit understanding between him and Yin Sen.

An Gaofeng tried to dribble forward, and then a sharp stop, this action did not shake off the "Maldini", he did not have this illusion, his purpose, just to let him in front of him, and then, he did the same action as Yin Sen just divided, a horizontal pluck with his left foot, and passed the ball to the left side again, his purpose is to hand the ball back to Yin Sen, if he didn't stop with the ball this time, "Maldini" would be between him and Yin Sen, so that the difficulty of his pass will be greatly increased.

Yin Sen didn't handle the ball slowly this time, the ball came to his body, and he went directly with his feet, and the man and the ball were one, and a sharp sword was inserted into the penalty area.

The three players who defended the team just now have rushed over, they have a clear division of labor, one forward, two backwards, and the gap inserted by Yin Sen is between the player who stepped forward to block and "Maldini".

This is the closest Qian has come to the Penang goal so far in the first half, and now it is the Qian player Yin Sen who the Penang players know the least to control the ball.

Yin Sen went around and plunged into it as quickly as possible, and had reached the area where he could shoot, but fortunately, the defenders of Penang caught up in time, and saw Yin Sen raise his feet to shoot, and the two of them desperately blocked with their flying legs, and they probably laughed at people for being so Meng Lang, but who knows, Yin Sen is the most lacking brain, especially on the court, the more critical the moment, the calmer and the fastest brain turn, which is the real advantage of Yin Sen when playing.

A stop ball dodged, while making the two defenders in front of him fall to the ground, and slashed in front of Yin Sen, and Yin Sen seemed to move a little laterally, this elegant passing action, not only made the few neutral fans in the stands applaud, even the Penang fans, but also a little envious, everyone loves beautiful things, football skills are not one of them. But at home, the Penang players were also very tough, and if they couldn't do it once, they organized a second interception, and the goalkeeper also moved to the right side of the goal to block Yin Sen's shot angle as much as possible.

Yin Sen raised his foot again to shoot, his eyes looked at the post on the left side of the goal, looking at this posture, it seemed that he wanted to aim at the gap on the side of the goalkeeper to shoot, this action made the goalkeeper nervous, he stared intently at Yin Sen's movements, and calculated the possible shooting angle in the next second, and the last defender in front of him was already flying over to save the danger, this distance of shooting, like a penalty, you can only act when the opponent has not yet shot, otherwise the instant reaction, it is also extremely difficult, And Yin Sen's shot selection is not a problem, and the action of the shot is also very realistic.

But Yin Sen gave up the shot again, and his left foot did kick the ball, but only on the left side of the ball, and the ball did not shoot towards the goal as expected, but at an oblique angle, against the turf.

Yin Sen once again gave a pass, this fatal pass, avoiding the blocking of the last defender, before the Penang players behind him stepped forward to interfere for the second time, he gently came to the feet of Zheng Jiang, who had been squatting in the penalty area for a long time, at this time there was no one within two meters of his surroundings, this ball, after too much suspense, at this time, there was no suspense.

The people of Penang, with their hands raised high, signaled that the ball was offside, and even a few surrounded the referee, but the referee looked at the linesman near the bottom line, and the whistle was quite clear, and the goal was valid.

The Champie team took the lead, and in the first of several encounters between Champie and Penang, Champie took the initiative first, and the goal of this counterattack was wonderful, and the shot was crisp and without any problems.

Zheng Jiang danced and didn't run back to the half-court, but was knocked down by Zeng Zhi, who rushed over later, and then Jiang Fan, like a stacked arhat, pounced, Qian Bing kicked the post fiercely, as if to vent the anger that had been hoarded in his heart for a long time, Yin Sen gestured to the soldiers who returned to the right side from a distance - the ball passed well just now, and at the same time high-fived An Gaofeng.

"My skills seem to have improved a lot," An Gaofeng sighed to himself.

Yin Sen didn't understand what he wanted to express, remembering all the slanders he had made before, and he suddenly felt funny.

There was no noise after the goal, although there was a lot of applause, but most of the audience chose to be silent, the home team's performance was not negative, at this time they should be encouraged, but as soon as they applauded, it became cheering for the opponent, so embarrassing.
