Chapter 106: A Failed Defensive Experiment
My approach to playing centre-back, tried-and-true, was useless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Because my defensive skills are not very good and I don't have a physical advantage, it would be a waste of resources to let me play at centre-back. It didn't take long for Coach Susic to realise this, and he finally stopped insisting that I play at centre-back.
However, he is still struggling with the choice of centre-back. In this position, he tried several more people, but whether it was Halihovic, or Salihamidzic, or even Barbarec, or even Dzeko - all of them as central defenders could not withstand Ibisevic's killing. When Dzeko was a central defender, even if Ibisevic had no partner, he was alone when he still pressed Dzeko's head and scored a goal! Therefore, in the end, Coach Susic's entire defensive system was still not able to be established.
At this time, Misimovic said to Coach Susic: "Coach Susic, I have an idea, I don't know if you are interested in learning about it?" ”
Coach Susic is in a hurry, and Misimovic's advice, no matter how bad it is, I am afraid he will try it as a lifesaver. However, what he didn't expect was that Misimovic actually suggested that the existing lineup should be kept unchanged and no longer toss the lineup. His reasoning is that even if we are going to face a big Norwegian team, there is no need to respond to the impact of the opposition with personnel changes. After all, we also have our own characteristics, our midfield control, is already stronger than the Norwegian team, when the time comes, the Norwegian team's tall forwards, maybe the whole field can not touch the ball. Even if he is Vjotoft, the real focus of the competition is still in the midfield!
We have a very strong midfield. If nothing else, the three young combinations of Misimovic and Pjanic and me alone are already very strong. Not to mention the presence of superstars like Barbarets and Salihamidzic. We have such a strong midfield that we don't have to worry about Norway at all, let alone their striker Fjotoft. You know, the core of a team, their core is in the midfield, as long as the midfielder can control the ball, then the forward line will get a steady stream of opportunities. But if the midfielder can't control the ball, no matter how strong the striker is, it's useless. Coach Susic just didn't figure it out, so he struggled with the issue of central defenders for so long. In fact, in such a game, the decisive thing is not the central defender at all, but the midfielder.
Misimovic's suggestion is a reflection of his very good general's demeanor. After hearing his advice, Coach Susic also discovered his own problem. All along, he has paid too much attention to the configuration at the front and back ends to the neglect of the midfield. It's time for him to change his overly contemptuous approach to midfield.
This time, Coach Susic once again moved me back to the main line-up as an attacking midfielder. We're five little guys together again. This time we were no longer practising the centre-back pairing, but attacking up front. We decided to replace the defence at the back with the attack from the front in the game against Norway. We have to suppress the Norwegian team with a strong attack and keep them from turning over.
This time, Dzeko and Ibisevic scored several goals again. Our main line-up, in a very Norwegian way, beat the substitutes.
After that, we are very much looking forward to the official match between the Norwegian team. It became our consensus to teach them a lesson with offense, not defense.
Fast forward and soon, the official match against Norway in Oslo is about to begin. We had a very aggressive line-up. Dzeko and Ibisevic are undoubtedly on the front line, and I am in midfield, Barbarets, Salihamidzic, Misimovic and Pjanic in midfield. At the back, the captain is still pressing, and the goalkeeper is Piplika. Sure enough, the Norwegians used Vjotoft as their main striker, and they undoubtedly had to use long balls as their main tactic!
The race has finally begun! Our five Bosnian powerhouses started at the same time, which not only shocked the whole Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also the whole world! Among the national teams in the world, I am afraid that we are the only ones who dare to do this.
Norway seem to have a problem with us using five teenagers in their twenties, and they have threatened to make us pay for their dismiss. As soon as they kicked off, they attacked very violently and tried to kill us. In terms of offensive methods, as expected, it is the tactic of using long passes and rushing hanging! Their mid-range hoisted the ball high into our half.
In their frontcourt, there is Fjotoft. His ability to control the ball in the air is very strong! Our captain, Spašić, was unable to beat Vrjotoft in a header even with his best efforts. Fjotoft put the ball down and another Norwegian striker rushed over and fired a shot at the ball! ――
Piplika flies! The veteran goalkeeper put in a convincing performance at the moment when he needed to play the most! He touched the edge of the ball, which changed direction and flew towards the far post! After a duang sound, the ball hit the post and bounced out of bounds!
This ball, definitely give Piplika a credit! After all, this shot was a close-range and powerful shot from an empty position! If it is an ordinary goalkeeper defending this goal, it is very likely that there will not even be a reaction! However, the veteran goalkeeper Piplika has been in the football world for many years, and his experience, he has seen far more of the world than other goalkeepers! It is precisely because of this that he, who once made the low-level mistake of "Flying Immortals", has already learned that before such a shot appears, he must react in advance! So, he used his advance movement to make a world-class save to save the Bosnian team from fire and water!
Our whole team rushed over and hugged Piplika! What a credit to avoiding a goal in the first minute!
However, on the other hand, we do understand how terrible the Norwegians' high-altitude bombing really is. In the next corner, we didn't dare to make a mistake, and even Dzeko returned to his own penalty area to assist in the defense. (To be continued.) )
