Chapter Eighty-Six: Champion Battle 1
"Why are you here?"
Yu Liang rubbed his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenxin standing at the door of his house with some incredulity.
"It's early to come back, if you come back late, you won't be a statue!"
After opening the door, he directly beckoned Zhang Wenxin into the house.
After the interview in the stadium, Yu Liang and his teammates returned to the locker room.
They were away to take on Rum in three days' time, so when they got back to the dressing room, they just opened a bottle of champagne and celebrated before coming back.
"Becoming a statue scares you to death!"
Zhang Wenxin stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Congratulations, another victory!"
"Thanks! By the way, what's the matter with you coming this time? ”
After taking out two bottles of milk from the refrigerator and handing one to Zhang Wenxin, Yu Liang drank it directly there.
"Have you eaten?"
"Yo, haven't you seen you for a few months and learned to care about people? Rare, rare! ”
After taking a sip of milk, Zhang Wenxin looked at Yu Liang playfully and blinked.
"What, is there any intention for me?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
After being choked, Yu Liang directly put down the milk in his hand and turned around and walked towards his room.
"The quilts in the room are all paved, I'm sleepy, you can take care of yourself!"
"Coward!"
Looking at Yu Liang's back, Zhang Wenxin scolded secretly, then dragged his suitcase and went directly into the guest room.
……
"What do you say? I'm going to the national team? ”
The next morning, after Yu Liangchen came back, listening to Zhang Wenxin's words, he almost squirted out the food in his mouth.
Since returning from injury, he has not even been selected for the national youth team, and now Zhang Wenxin said that he is going to enter the national team, can he not be excited.
"Yes! In May, the national team will come to Europe for a training camp. According to the reliable information I have received, you and King Dong will both be selected at that time! Well, good news, think about how to thank me? ”
"Cut, why thank you! I don't know if it's true! Besides, even if it's true, we have a dime to do with you when we enter the national team! ”
Yu Liang glanced at Zhang Wenxin nonchalantly.
"No, I said you came all the way here just to tell me the news!"
From last night to now, Zhang Wenxin has not revealed a word about what she is doing in Belgium.
"Who are you? Is it necessary to tell you? ”
"I'm speechless!"
Yu Liang looked at Zhang Wenxin in surprise. There is nothing to say.
After breakfast, Zhang Wenxin went out with a camera and a backpack.
Yu Liang also went to the club to train in the afternoon.
It wasn't until he came back in the evening that Zhang Wenxin came back with a tired face, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was tired of playing. The next day, Zhang Wenxin still went out early and returned late, although she was very curious about what she was doing, but she didn't say anything, and Yu Liang didn't continue to ask.
After two days in the training ground, the weekend arrived. The atmosphere in the team is also getting more and more serious.
On the afternoon of April 21, Yu Liang followed the team to Lum, a small city on the border with a population of only a few tens of thousands.
But tonight will be in the spotlight of hundreds of thousands of people in Belgium.
Also in the spotlight is Mons' home game against Ronse.
Because of these two games today. It is possible to decide the title of the Belgian second division champion.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the stadium, which can only accommodate one or two thousand people, was already crowded with fans watching the game.
Because the stadium is very small, the facilities and equipment are not very perfect, and the sound insulation effect is naturally very poor.
Van Ake had to raise his voice in the dressing room. "We've reached the final of the cup and now we can concentrate on the league! With four rounds remaining, they are only one point away. So this game has only one requirement for you, give me a win against them, and take all three points! ”
"Okay, take all three points!"
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, the game started on time.
After the start of the game, the Lunm team took advantage of the home advantage and launched a direct attack.
Rum have been the dominant players in the league this season, winning the first stage of the league with an unbeaten record and a chance to qualify for the promotion play-offs.
In the second stage of the league, they only lost one game, but because of the many draws, they were in third place with a difference of four points.
However, after two stages, they still lead the overall standings by four points.
However, after two phases of the game, the Rum team, which had a strong lineup, had problems and lost two games in a row after the start of the third period. The defeat in these two games has cost them the advantage at the top of the standings and even fallen out of the top position.
After that, though, they adjusted quickly and were unbeaten in six games leading up to this game.
Four wins and two draws were not as good as Antwerp's seven-game winning streak, but they managed to halt their decline and put them at the top of the table once again by one point.
Since the start of the season, the Mons team has been biting the score behind the Rums, and currently has a total of 60 points. Because of the win, Antwerp, who had won ten consecutive victories, was squeezed into third place.
If RUM want to extend their advantage at the top of the table, they will have to beat Antwerp in this game.
So after the game started, the head coach of the Lum team, 44-year-old Pete Barrett, has been standing on the sidelines and commanding.
Barrett's passionate command makes it easy to infect the players. One by one, they were like chickens beating blood, and they kept attacking.
"Whew...... These guys have taken their pills! ”
finally shoveled the ball out of bounds at the opponent's feet, and had a chance to catch his breath.
It didn't take a few breaths before the Rums sideline ball was sent straight away.
After sighing at their mental state, Yu Liang immediately shouted loudly: "Defense, defense, defense!" ”
to improve the concentration of your teammates.
Before the game, Van Ake had made it clear that as long as the game could hold on for more than half an hour, the victory would be theirs.
The reason is simple, the high-intensity pressing tactics of the Lunm team are very physically draining. And two of the team's key players, striker Mirek Valigora and attacking midfielder Hagdorn, are both thirty-five years old.
As long as they can survive until their fitness problems, the team's attacking efficiency will be greatly reduced, and that is when Antwerp will be able to fight back.
But after the real fight, Yu Liang found that the game was far from being as simple as arranging tactics before the game.
When facing Rum's 35-year-old striker Mirek Valigora, Yu Liang really didn't think the Pole was 35 years old. If it weren't for the vicissitudes on his face, plus reading their information before the game, Yu Liang would have felt that this guy was a young and old guy.
Since the start of the game, he has been thrown off by the old guy twice with explosive power.
If it weren't for Nicalola's timely defense from the flank and curbing Valigora's attack, Yu Liang would have been beaten into a sieve.
The high-intensity pressing of the Rum team allowed them to gain possession of the ball again, and then immediately launched an attack, and Valigora rushed directly towards Yu Liang with the ball after winning the ball.
Seeing Valigora rushing towards him again with the ball, Yu Liang was angry: "Uncle, I really think I'm muddy!" ”
Yu Liang, who was a little angry in his heart, rushed directly towards Valigora.
Through so many game observations, it is not difficult for many people to find the importance of Yu Liang to this Antwerp team.
As a seasoned veteran, Valigora knows that there are many ways to beat their opponents on the pitch, and one of them is to beat their core players.
The core player is not only the main player in terms of tactics, but more importantly, the spiritual symbolism of this aspect.
A lot of players are the backbone of a team, and if they don't perform well on the pitch, it will affect the performance of the whole team.
In terms of tactics, it goes without saying that Yu Liang is the initiator of Van Ake's transition from defense to attack.
As for mental strength, if you carefully watch every game in Antwerp, it is not difficult to find that whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end, Yu Liang will step up at a critical moment in the game, and then help the team get out. Over time, Yu Liang's behavior will become a dependence on his teammates. This is where the value of his spiritual power lies.
So Valigora wants to break Antwerp's solid defensive system by beating Yu Liang.
Looking at Yu Liang, who was rushing towards him, Valigora suddenly accelerated......
"Uh......"
Yu Liang, who was rushing towards Valigora, watched Valigora's body suddenly swing sharply to the right, and he was so frightened that he immediately moved to the left.
In the first two encounters, it was because of his slow movement speed that he was directly thrown off by Valigora.
But as soon as Yu Liang moved, he saw Valigora twist the ankle of his left foot, his toes slid on the football, and he pushed the outside instep lightly, kicked his right foot, forcibly pulled back his body, and rushed towards the right side of his body.
"Perverted!"
Seeing that Valigora was still able to make such a drastic change of direction at the age of thirty-five, Yu Liang couldn't help but curse secretly.
Then quickly adjust your center of gravity and start moving to the right. But this time when he moved, Yu Liang kept a mind. The left leg was not fully retracted, just to prevent Valigora from changing direction again.
Valigora, who had just completed the change of direction and was about to break through from Yu Liang's right side, watched Yu Liang move to the right.
After holding the ball with his left foot, after swinging his body back, he led the ball with his right foot and rushed directly towards Yu Liang's left side.
Backbite!
Just when Yu Liang was glad that he had a heart, a sharp whistle sounded.
The referee who ran over pointed directly at Yu Liang's left foot, and then pointed to the goal.
"Fouls, free kicks, Valigora won a free kick for the team, look at the Chinese that the Antwerp people are proud of, it's like a clown ...... in front of Valigora" (To be continued. )
