Chapter 109: Don't be nervous
Physical condition has always been a long-standing problem for the Chinese team.
When football has developed to the point where it is today, there is more and more emphasis on attacking and defending on the field.
Unless you encounter a manager who borders on paranoid van Gaal, although the general formation of the team can be seen in the process of switching from defense to attack, this formation is often accompanied by overall movement.
It is not uncommon for the frontcourt players to always return to the back to defend, and the defenders will also insert into the opponent's penalty area to attack.
It is probably because Fu Bo does not have enough confidence in the physical condition of the players, and in fact, in the past, the Chinese team did collapse quickly when the physical fitness in the final stage was seriously reduced.
But solid defense is not a reason to limit offense.
Fu Bo focused on the position and area of activity of the defenders, and in the face of the knockout round, he did not intend to go all out, but handed over the burden of threatening the opponent's goal to the front court.
This made Qu Jing feel a little ridiculous.
This is too much belief in the ability of offensive players, right?!
In the case that the individual ability of the frontcourt players is not very outstanding, expect only three or four people to complete the battle?!
But that's it on the pitch, the manager has the final say.
So even if Qu Jing and the gourd babies don't agree with Fu Bo's conservative decision very much, they will still follow it after they play.
Execution is execution, but if the timing comes true, Qu Jing doesn't care about that, and the reason why he is so important in Real Sociedad is that Agusli does not limit his decisions on the field.
In this kind of competition, Qu Jing will not stick to any bullshit area, that's not his style.
What made Qu Jing feel a little headache was the nervousness of his teammates, their expressions were too solemn, players like Shi K, who had already played in the main team in the Chinese Super League club, kept puffing out during the pre-match ceremony, Xu Xin was even more serious, he began to have red circles under his eyes almost from the moment the national anthem sounded.
Being able to hear a familiar melody in a foreign country and see the red flags waving in the stands also made Qu Jing feel a little pressure, although he didn't think it was a difficult game.
At the beginning of the game, it was already 2:30 in the middle of the night in China, but Qu Jing thought that there must be many people who knew him who stayed up late to watch the game, such as Zhang Lei and the former colleagues of Qianbao Company, although they did not call, they must have paid attention to the old songs of the game, and of course, those die-hard fans in the "football circle".
"Relax, don't have any worries, just kick how you want", Qu Jing kept relieving the pressure on the gourd babies when his teammates surrounded him, but looking at the wry smile they squeezed out, it didn't seem to have much effect.
After the opening, Qu Jing found out that he still overestimated the competition experience of the gourd babies.
European players play about 50 games a year, and a young player who plays until he is 20 years old can probably get about 300 high-intensity confrontation experience, while our domestic players can only play 200 games when they are about 30 years old.
If you don't have a very high ball quotient, game experience is of course crucial for a player.
For example, how to effectively reduce pressure before the game, how to quickly get into the game state, and how to adjust the ...... reasonably with the progress of the game.
The more important the game, the closer the strength, the more normal the players who can adjust to the state faster, and the more they can establish an advantage on the field.
The gourd babies, who were obviously inexperienced in the game, showed unprecedented nervousness.
Their movements look stiff and even less accurate when passing.
Like Li Hang, who played very steadily in the first two games, when facing the breakthrough of the Saudi Arabian team's No. 7, he was very irrational and rash to grab and let the opponent change direction twice in a row. In fact, if he can maintain the form of the first two games, according to his physical condition, he will not let the opponent penetrate so easily.
Qu Jing clapped his hands and shouted loudly to try to relax his teammates, but it still didn't look good, and left-back Chen Chao was obviously out of position when the opponent's No. 15 player cut inside with the ball, and put the opponent down directly as a last resort, giving the opponent a very well-placed free kick.
"Try to pass the ball to me for a while, it's nothing like this! Hangzi pay attention to the back point, you should pay close attention to their No. 22 player ......", and for the first time, he also ran to the penalty area to assist in the defense, and seeing that the defense lacked some layering, he simply began to convey "instructions" to his teammates.
The players of the Saudi team did not look much better, and the No. 7 of the penalty shot took aim for a long time before kicking the ball straight out of the bottom line.
"See how bad they are, mind the and ......", Qu Jing ran backwards while using foul language to relieve his teammates' abnormality.
After Du Jia passed the ball to right-back Yang Kuo, Qu Jing took two steps back and reached out to ask for the ball, and after getting the ball, he did not rush to divide the ball, but stabilized the rhythm.
He first slowly dribbled the ball forward, and when the No. 5 player of the Saudi team came up to press, he stepped around to the left, and then quickly wiped to the right, and easily formed a breakthrough, and when the No. 5 player caught up from behind, he stretched out his hand to signal Li Hang to answer.
"Hangzi, that's it, pass it back again, it's like walking monkeys, they're a fart!"
After making a two-to-one with Li Hang, Qu Jing, who took the ball, made a forward gesture to Li Yuan on the right side, and then handed the ball to Wang Qiuming, who was responding in the middle.
The Saudi team quickly formed a defensive formation, and when there were not many offensive players in the front of the Chinese team, it basically ensured that every player of the Chinese team had their markers and coordinated defense in front and behind.
Wang Qiuming, who couldn't hit forward, passed the ball back to Qu Jing, who formed a regional triangle with him.
"Run more, form more triangles, plug the ball when you have the opportunity, hit back if you don't have the opportunity, don't worry", Qu Jing ran frequently and formed different offensive groups with his teammates, while not forgetting to remind loudly.
Anyway, the other party can't understand it!
They have to be able to anticipate the passing lanes, that's what they're capable of!
I have to say that under the guidance of Qu Jing with the ball and running without the ball, the gourd babies began to gradually return to normal, and soon, Wang Qiuming gave Zhang Ning a chance to hit the door with a very tacit straight stopper, although the foot seemed a little poor, but with Zhang Ning's angry roar, it can be seen that he is also entering the state.
Unlike the previous two games, Qu Jing has been taking the initiative to ask for the ball since the opening, especially when he feels that a few people in the front court do not have particularly good opportunities. He took full advantage of his advantage of rarely making mistakes with the ball, and used gestures and words to remind the four people in front of him when breaking through the defense of the Saudi team players.
"Li Yuan, when the ball is on the left side, you have to resolutely insert it in front of the right side, don't worry about the back, I will fill in for you", seeing that Li Yuan is not as resolute as Xie Pengfei on the right side, Qu can't help but hate him for missing the opportunity.
In fact, Xu Xin, Zhang Ning and Wang Qiuming played well in a small area, and also attracted the attention of many players in the Saudi team.
It doesn't matter if he can't play, as long as he can attract the opposition defense on the right flank, the Saudi players in the middle will not be too dense, so Qu Jing can try to cut in with the ball......
