Chapter 259: Knowing that you can't do it
Lin Qi didn't know what the scouts were thinking, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, all he cared about was the current AFC Champions League champion!
Most of the media reporters are unlikely to know what the scouts are thinking, and in fact, apart from the Football Newspaper, no other Chinese football media has done any special coverage of European scouts coming to watch the game.
In the eyes of Chinese reporters, it is a matter of time before An Run and Lin Qi go to Europe to play, and the arrival of European scouts does not mean anything, let alone which league and team Lin Qi and An Run will go to in the future.
In that case, what's the point of paying attention to them, although Chinese football is weak, there is no need to kneel and lick the scouts of European clubs.
It was they who came to us in China to select the players who were suitable for the club, not that we begged them to come.
Huaxia football should have such arrogance, and Huaxia football, which has two outstanding young players, An Run and Lin Qi, should have such arrogance.
Scouts from European clubs have only enriched the spectacle from the stands, not many people have paid attention to them at all, and of course, they are unlikely to get in the way of the AFC Champions League final.
With the end of various pre-match ceremonies, the AFC Champions League final between Qilu team and Quancheng team officially began. Qilu was given the right to pick the edge, while Quancheng were the first to kick off in the first half.
Chen Biao, who got the right to kick off, was not happy, because in this game, the Quancheng team was obviously in a passive defensive position, and it was better to pick a side if they kicked off first.
Besides, the ball of the Spring City team came out, and they didn't know how to play. Before the start of the game, Chen Song did not make any offensive arrangements, as if he had given up the game. It's just that Chen Song didn't want to lose too badly, so he kept telling the players to pay attention to defense.
Of course, even if it is defense, Chen Song has repeatedly warned the players not to make too many moves. It's not that I'm afraid of cards, it's that I'm afraid that the players will get hurt.
Lu Fei's injury made the Quancheng team all soldiers, and the most worried and scared was not the players, but Chen Song, the head coach, who didn't want to fall into the predicament of no one available next season.
That's all Chen Song has done for the Quancheng players - defend, and at the same time pay attention to avoid injury!
I have to say that Chen Song's arrangement is very strange, not to mention reporters and fans. Even the players of the Quancheng team also think that Chen Song, like them, gave up the competition for the AFC Champions League championship in this game.
Only Lin Qi knew that Chen Song had pressed all the hopes of attacking on him!
Strictly speaking, the formation sent by the Quancheng team in this game is not the kind of double back in the past, although the double back also attaches importance to defense, but it does not pay attention to such an extent. It can only be said that the Quancheng team has adopted a double-back formation in defense, and in attack, there is no shadow of any double-back waist.
Because. There is only one attacking player in this game of the Spring City team. That's Lin Qi!
The rest of the Quancheng players didn't even have to attack, their only task was to keep their goal and concede a few fewer goals.
Yes, it's not about trying to keep the goal in the net, it's about conceding as few goals as possible. The Springs are self-aware, and they know that stopping the Qilu team's front trident goal is tantamount to a dream. When the Quancheng team was in a brave state, they couldn't stop the attack of Anrun, Zhou Tao and Lin Heng, not to mention that in this game, the players of the Quancheng team were not in good shape, and they didn't dare to make too many moves.
※※※
With the referee's whistle, the final of the AFC Champions League officially began. The Quancheng team drove the ball out, and the football came directly to Lin Qi's feet.
Lin Qi did not pass the ball back like he did in the past, but chose to carry the ball himself!
"Lin Qi didn't send back, what is this for? He won't play a one-on-one with the Qilu team at the beginning of the game, and the players of the Qilu team are all concentrated in their own backcourt. "The commentator at the scene can't understand Lin Qi's actions, even if you are competitive, you always have to see the situation clearly.
Although this game has long been dubbed Lin Qi as one against eleven by the media, can you Lin Qi really do this? It's obviously impossible, you say it's more reliable to play a defensive counterattack, but what is the situation when you take the ball forward at the beginning of the game?
While the commentator was chattering, Lin Qi continued to move forward with the ball, not to mention, Lin Qi really passed two players of the Qilu team in a row, but when he passed the second Qilu team player, Lin Qi's ball was a little bigger, and the football was obtained by the defenders of the Qilu team.
This can't be regarded as a big trip for Lin Qi, it can only be blamed for the fact that the players in the backfield of the Qilu team are too dense, and Lin Qi can't pass all the eleven players of the Qilu team no matter how he goes......
"The ball was lost, is Lin Qi sending the ball to the Qilu team? This kind of kick-off is really incomprehensible. The commentator continued to complain about Lin Qi, he didn't understand what Lin Qi meant, but some European scouts in the stands did.
"Not only scheming, but also eager for quick success, eager to show themselves at the beginning of the game, such an unstable, immature and annoying character is not suitable for the healthy development of the club!" These European scouts wrote such a sentence in their notebooks, and then even if they lost interest in Lin Qi, at most someone added another sentence at the end: "I really don't know how such a player leads the team to so many honors......"
After these scouts finished writing these words, they focused their eyes on An Run. Few of the European scouts who came to the scene in this game only paid attention to Lin Qi or An Run, and the reason why the head coach of their club sent them here was because they were interested in both An Run and Lin Qi, but some were more focused on An Run, and some were more focused on Lin Qi.
Lin Qi's opening action really aroused the disgust of many scouts, and even the reporters and fans on the sidelines couldn't figure out how a player like Lin Qi could make such an off-standard move.
So why did Lin Qi do this? Is it true that he is going to work hard to show himself in front of European scouts?
Please, Lin Qi is not so naïve, the reason why he will do this is very simple, he doesn't want to let go of any opportunity to attack, although such an offensive opportunity is not good, but as long as the football is at Lin Qi's feet, he doesn't want to let go of this opportunity!
Lin Qi can expect that he will not have too many opportunities in this game, and the Qilu team's strict defense of him is part of the reason, and more importantly, the sluggish state of his teammates!
In the current state of the Quancheng team, it is difficult to form an effective support for Lin Qi, instead of waiting for the opportunity to attack, it is better to make up your mind from the beginning of the game and actively create opportunities.
Even if it is extremely difficult to create this opportunity, if you don't try it, how can you know that it will not succeed? Lin Qi knew that he couldn't do it, and he couldn't help it, if the Quancheng team wanted to win this game, he could only rely on Lin Qi's knowledge that he couldn't do it!
In addition, Lin Qi's move also contains the meaning of cheering for his teammates, what he shows is confidence in his teammates, confidence in the defense line formed by his teammates, and confidence in not being afraid of losing the ball.
Even if the football is lost at my feet, so what? I have ten teammates behind me who will stop all the Qilu team's attacks!
Lin Qi's actions only played a small role, and the players of the Quancheng team were a little more combative, but they did not help Lin Qi snatch the football back in the first place......
The Qilu team played very steadily, although they had heard of the current sluggish state of the Quancheng team, but the Qilu team still fully showed the importance and caution of this AFC Champions League final.
They will definitely not rush because their opponents are not in good form and rush to end the suspense of this game.
The game is 90 minutes, and if it ends too early, not only will you lose a lot of fun, but it will also make the players of the Qilu team feel relaxed, which is not good if you are bitten back by the Quancheng team......
Instead of speeding up the pace of attack, it is really better to play steadily, what the Qilu team wants is not a hearty victory, but to ensure that they can get the AFC Champions League championship trophy that is not far from them!
After the Qilu team got the ball, they first kept reversing the ball in the backfield, trying to tear apart the defense of the Quancheng team. However, none of the players of the Quancheng team rushed forward to fight, and all of them except Lin Qi shrank in their own half, waiting for the Qilu team's attack.
The back and forth of the Qilu team can not make any loopholes in the nine-man defense of the Quancheng team, the players of the Quancheng team don't seem to see the football at the feet of the Qilu team, anyway, you are only half the court, we don't fight, and even if you don't press to the front of the penalty area, we don't take you to rob, you play by yourself, you can't threaten the goal, whatever you play.
The players of the Quancheng team have implemented the arrangement of head coach Chen Song in defense very well, they have set up an iron bucket formation, and they do not press, nor fight, just waiting for your Qilu team to attack.
The Qilu team's backcourt reversed the ball for nearly five minutes, which is not considered stable, but cowardly, can't it tear up the defense line and not attack? Could it be that the opponent put up an iron bucket formation and only knew how to reverse the ball in the backcourt?
The Qilu team still couldn't help it, and they tentatively launched an attack on the goal of the Quancheng team...... (To be continued......)
