Chapter 124, eyes like torches

When the players of the two teams shook hands before the game, Qu Jing always felt that the opposing players looked at him a little wrong, he thought at first that it was because he was Asian, but after the game started, he realized that it must be Gary Neville who emphasized something to his players before the game, and after the game started, Qu Jing was also targeted by the opponent like never before.

Valencia players do not play a trace of the traditional La Liga top five, a real strong team, the players on the field will never be like them to run and scramble, from a bird's-eye view, almost everywhere the ball passes, the Valencia players will immediately appear in that place.

At first, Qu Jing also hoped to complete the strategy of his teammates through active running, and tried to organize the attack, but the Valencia players moved much faster than he expected, and it was often the case that before he could fully receive the ball, the opposing players' feet were already stretched out......

The result was that he was just as prone to passing and receiving errors as his teammates.

At the beginning, he didn't think it was anything, and many weak teams would adopt this line of thinking, coming up and trying to get a good start as much as possible through crazy grabbing, and there was no big chance of winning anyway, and there was no need to keep physical strength.

But Valencia's desperate scramble as soon as he came up was still a little unexpected for him.

It's okay once or twice, but every time you pass and receive the ball, there are always several yellow figures around you, and the feet are extremely fierce, even ferocious, it is inevitable that they will have subtle psychological changes, how can they kick this ball?!

Several Real Sociedad players have been in the same situation, such as Vela and Canales, who don't appear particularly decisive when it comes to passing and receiving the ball – which can require intense physical contact with opposing players, and in severe cases, injuries.

"Is this still La Liga that pays attention to technical flow?" After being put down by the opponent's Perez again, Qu Jing who fell to the ground wanted to cry without tears, isn't it the Premier League that should be this rhythm, when will it still fit?

Originally, Agusli also asked Real Sociedad to use the numerical advantage of the midfield to cut Valencia's midfield in a diamond shape, but under the wide range and high-intensity running of the opposing players, the midfield led by Qu Jing was a scattered attack.

Fortunately, although Valencia is fierce and plays a very fast pace, it is still too anxious in the transition from defense to attack, always trying to find Negredo and Rodrygo directly on the front line, but how can it be easily penetrated?

But let the other party continue to fight like this, what if there is a chaos to win?

Qu Jing looked at Agusli on the sidelines.

Agusli made a steady gesture at him, following the opponent's rhythm is obviously not a good choice, in the current situation, only based on stability, as long as the opponent does not let the other side score, you can let them have fun, no matter how good the physical strength is, if you always do this, it will soon be consumed.

In desperation, Qu Jing also changed the established way of playing.

He pretty much gave up on playmaking and pushing the ball forward, and instead focused on defending.

Who to defend against?

Valencia's offensive hub, Parejo, of course.

Qu Jing noticed that Parejo played more of a playmaking role than Perez, De Paul and Mina, who were more defensive and focused on the offense. Whether it's a straight forward ball in the middle or a split between the wings, almost most of it comes from Parejo's feet, and if he can be limited, it will undoubtedly make Valencia's attack out of order.

Unlike Valencia's wolf-like defensive strategy, Qu Jing opted for a one-on-one spell with Parejo.

He believes in his "superpowers" in judgment and movement, especially after more than half a year of hard training, if he concentrates on defending a player, he still maintains a very high steal success rate.

When he saw Qu Jing defending himself closely, he didn't attract much attention from Parejo. The head coach focused on the opposing player in his pre-match deployment, but also asked for restrictions on his attacking play.

Defend? Or one-on-one, what gave him this confidence?

In terms of dribbling and breakthrough success rate, he has contributed the average data of the top ten in La Liga!

So just like the heart-to-heart competition, Parejo did not choose to pass the ball at the first time after seeing Mina on the right side reaching for the ball, but prepared to break through the curve......

He first shook his body to the left, and when he saw that Qu Jing was not fooled, he quickly wiped the ball to the right, and when he saw Qu Jing's body moving with him, he immediately buckled to the left......

To his surprise, the move that was supposed to get rid of his opponent did not deceive Qu Jing as he had hoped, and when Parejo was about to dribble down the left side and down the middle, Qu Jing stabbed the ball with his foot earlier than he did......

“X……”

Looking at the curve that went around behind him to get the ball, Parejo was a little incredulous, this kid seemed to have completely penetrated the rhythm of his own dribbling, and he also maintained an extreme consistency in his movements, moving, stealing, chasing the ball, all in one go......

Parejo was also very quick to react, he immediately made a pull movement, and then quickly completed a 180-degree spin, and after a few steps, he changed from the left side of the warp to a frontal defense.

Seeing that Vela and Canales and others were surrounded by opposing players, Qu Jing did not pass the ball, but first shook to the left and then to the right, and also waited for Parejo's body to start moving, and then slammed the ......

He almost repeated Parejo's move, but with a different effect, Parejo could only watch him dribble forward after he shook his weight away.

This round of rapid transition from offense to defense can be described as a flash of lightning, and it only took more than ten seconds, because of the formation, after breaking through Parejo, Qu Jing was able to directly approach the opponent's backline.

The reason why Valencia can form a pressing defense is that they run with all their strength without the ball, but just now it happened a little too quickly from a successful steal to a breakthrough to Parejo, so that the players who were pressed by the Valencia team did not have time to return to the defensive position.

This also gave Real Sociedad a 4v3 attacking situation - Qu Jing held the ball in the middle, Vela was involved on the right flank, and Agureche was waiting for an opportunity up front.

"It would be nice if Canales weren't so far behind......"

If Canales is there, whether he pulls the gap or plays the ball for the warp, he could break through Valencia's defence.

But in the current situation, the offensive group composed of Qu Jing, Vela and Agureche is too thin - even if Vela on the edge takes the ball and then reorganizes the attack, Parejo and Perez will be in place quickly, and if it is directly plugged to Agureche in front, it may not have a better effect.

Therefore, Qu Jing made a choice in an instant, and before he could get close to the big penalty area, Qu Jing slammed his foot into a long shot......

And then flew straight up to the stands - kicked!

"Hoo ......"

The fans in the stands lamented for a while, and the next very good attacking opportunity in a passive situation, everything was beautiful, only the last kick was missing......

"Ahh Qu is a little anxious, if you take a few more steps forward, maybe you will enter! ”

"Don't you see that both players are already catching up? Also dribbling? Can you guarantee that the ball won't be tackled by them? ”

"So what? Don't forget, Qu's free kick is a good one! ”

……

Qu Jing also waved his hand at his teammates regretfully, frowning vigorously, he never got a decent chance, and the first shot attempt in this game was a little outrageous.

He let out a sigh to ease the tension that had rarely appeared before, he also wanted to bring another belt into the penalty area just now, so that it would be more certain, but seeing the opposing goalkeeper Sanchez standing a little to the left, so he chose to shoot suddenly from a distance - the idea is very full, but the reality, a little skinny......

"Alas, Agusli is still looking at him like a torch, I can see that I have to shoot the goal", Qu Jing glanced back at Agusli a little helplessly, and then saw the old man shrug his shoulders at him......
