Chapter 181: Half-court offense and defense

Coach Susic organized an ingenious five-on-six half-court offensive and defensive drill. The basic content of the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info is: five offensive players, against five defensive players plus the goalkeeper. Our Bosnia and Herzegovina national team has a total of 23 players in the European Championship qualifiers, and except for a third goalkeeper, the remaining 22 can play two five-on-six half-court offensive and defensive training. Coach Susic asked the third goalkeeper to act as the referee on one side, separated the remaining 22 people, and organized the half-time amplifier training in the two halves.

I am afraid that it was a special request from Coach Susic, who actually divided the five attacking players of me, Misimovic, Dzeko, Pjanic and Ibisevic. And such a combination is also very reasonable - Misimovic is the front midfielder, Pjanic is the back midfielder, and I am the shadow striker in the double front midfield, and in front of our three midfielders, there are two forward players Ibisevic and Dzeko - this combination is indeed quite reasonable!

And against us, in terms of goalkeepers, we are playing Piplika again. In addition to him, the other five defenders are: central defender Panza, central defenders Vsa Jevic, Spašić and Lulic, and midfielder Salihovic. Five of us against six of them, 30 minutes of attacking and defending, we have to score to score, and they just need to take the ball over the halfway line to score – of course, it doesn't work with a big foot.

This kind of ingenious half-court offensive and defensive training is obviously bad for the attacking players and beneficial for the defending players. It's unfair to have one more person and score more than the attacking players, which is unfair to us attacking players. However, Coach Susic did not give our attacking players a chance to defend themselves, saying: "Since this is training, it is to simulate reality, if the attacking players waste the ball so easily and don't put the ball in the opponent's net, then how much punishment will you receive?" This is a consequence that you may not even be aware of. So, in order to train the effectiveness of the attack, I hope that you can take advantage of every opportunity to attack in this offensive and defensive training. In addition, once the offensive player is cut off, he must counter-steal on the spot, and if he does not counter-steal on the spot, it is difficult for the offensive player to win the offensive opportunity of the ball in the front court. This is also the purpose of this half-court offensive and defensive training. ”

Although Coach Susic said so, after all, it was still very difficult for us offensive players, but none of our players here dared to disobey what Coach Susic said, so the half-time offensive and defensive training started smoothly.

This time, the only preferential treatment for the attacking players in the half-court training is that the attacking players can serve the ball from the middle circle. Being able to control the ball is still very important for attack, especially for players with good technique. Of the five of us, the most skilled is undoubtedly Misimovic, while the most offensive and defensive is Pjanic. Ibisevic and Dzeko are two cannons on the forward line, and even two bombers, the height of both of them, one reaches 1.89 meters, and the other, even reaches 1.92 meters, compared to the defenders of many teams, both of them are very tall. So our attack can play two more strikers' high points, and my shadow position as a tandem midfielder and striker is mainly based on long-range shooting, playmaking in the box and ball control. Although in such an offensive and defensive training, we are at a great disadvantage as the attacker, but because our position is very reasonable, and from the training just now, the five of us are in good shape, so we still think that we have the hope of scoring more goals and defeating the defender!

At the whistle of Coach Susic, we kicked off!

Pjanic passed the ball to Misimovic, who carried the ball forward on his own, and his possession skills were good, and he quickly passed Salihovic, who was on the rise. However, in addition to the defender Salihovic, the other four defenders are all defenders, including traditional central defenders such as Panza and Vlajevic, as well as two fullbacks Spašić and Lulic, all four defenders are standing in the penalty area, which makes our cooperation completely impossible to play!

Misimovic was in possession and thinking about how to break down the defense. He's a player who plays football with his brains, and he quickly discovered the key to it -

That's right, the defenders are not tall enough!

Misimovic immediately passed the ball to me, who was pulled to the wing, and shouted: "Pass the ball into the box and let Ibisevic and Dzeko fight for the top!" ”

I did it immediately! A cross with a high quality flight to the center of the big penalty area!

Goalkeeper Piplika rushes out! Although he made a lot of mistakes, he was an experienced goalkeeper after all, and he knew that if I let this ball pass, the two central defenders would not have enough height to be easily won by Ibyševich and Dzeko! And now, the only person on the defending side who can compete with the two of them for the ball in the air is himself!

Piplika yelled and punched the ball out of the box with a fist over Ibisevic's head! However, Misimovic waited outside the box and once again caught the ball firmly. He handed the ball to Pjanic and let Pjanic cross from the left! This time, the ball was passed in the direction of Dzeko!

The central defender Dzeko faced was Panza, and his height was obviously not able to compete with Dzeko, who was 1.92 meters tall, for headers! However, by this time, Piplika had already attacked, and it was not easy to strike again to get rid of Dzeko's pass over his head! However, he is still fighting for it! Stumbling to the ground, Piplika jumped to his feet, hooked his fist into the air, and miraculously knocked the ball out again!

The ball flew high and flew to the right side of the penalty area, a place where no one was defending, and I, just crossed from this position, and the man was not far away......

This ball, the height is just right, the speed is not fast, isn't it, I can ......

I made a decision - I had to use a very beautiful world wave to decide the first goal with this shot!

I jumped high!

Defender Panza saw me jump high and already knew my intentions! He hurriedly ran over and tried to stop me, but he was too far away from me, and my action was complete!

Lean back and swing your right foot towards the sky!

Barb shot!

Piplika made two sorties in a row, and he was too late to defend! My barb shot flew over his head, and he fished it out with his hands, but he didn't catch it!

The ball is in! 1:0! Our attacker, we scored a goal in the first attack! (To be continued.) )
