Chapter 14: Stubborn Defense
Almost overnight, the members of the Shuguang High School football team became celebrities at school. Going to magazines and being interviewed, these are almost impossible for an ordinary middle school student to get a living. They became the center of attention, and everywhere they went, they were greeted and even asked for autographs. When happiness comes suddenly, most people will lose themselves, not to mention that they are just a group of high school students?
In the team's activity room, Liang Ke had an uncharacteristically straight face: "If you don't train today, we'll have a meeting." ”
None of them knew what medicine was sold in the coach's gourd.
"I've seen a very bad phenomenon during this time, I don't know if you have noticed it?"
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what the coach was referring to.
"We only won one game and a lot of people were happy not to know what their last name was. Is this necessary? It's like you, what about the team that won the national championship? Happy to die? ”
Someone laughed.
"Don't laugh! I'm serious about you! ”
The laughter died down immediately.
"You're all still young, and you still have a long way to go. Remember at all times: victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged. Liang Ke pointed to the matchup table behind him, "Many people don't know who did it." I'm telling you, Sophie spent a night, four and a half hours kneeling on the ground, drawing it for you! My knees are swollen! She wouldn't have let me say it. But look at your appearance, I don't want Sophie to spend the night working uselessly after the next game! ”
Zhang Jun secretly glanced at Sophie, who was sitting next to Liang Ke, and found out for the first time that she was also embarrassed.
"What does Sophie's line draw with a red pen mean? Have you thought about it? She wants us to win game by game, so that the line can be drawn longer and longer. Are you willing to let this line end here? ”
No one said a word. Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
After a long time, Liang Kecai said: "I'm not training you, I'm just saying what I want to say to you." Alright, you all go home. Go back and think about what I said, disband! ”
It's always not very happy to be trained. Zhang Jun sat on the balcony and looked at the deep blue night sky.
With a "squeak", the balcony door next door opened, and Sophie walked out. I'm tired of studying and need to change the air. She stretched a lot, only to find that Zhang Jun was on the balcony of his house, ignoring her arrival.
"Why?" Sophie asked.
"Count the stars." Zhang Juntou said without replying.
Sophie looked up at the sky, it was cloudy today, and there was not a trace of starlight. "Still thinking about what the coach said?"
"It's not."
"And what are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering, how long can that line be?"
Sophie looked at Zhang Jun.
"How long do you think you can draw?"
"I don't know, it's a long, long time."
"Really?" Sophie asked with a smile.
Zhang Jun suddenly jumped up from the chair, pointed at Sophie, and said with a serious face: "Look at it!" In this week's game, I'm going to score three goals alone! ”
"Is it another hat-trick?"
"Nope! That's a birthday gift for you! After saying that, Zhang Jun turned around and walked into the room.
Sophie stood alone in the same place, this Saturday, October 20th was her birthday, and she didn't even remember herself. She looked up at the night sky.
"Fei Fei, enter the house, it's heavy outside!" Mom shouted in the house.
"Oh!" Sophie turned and went into the house.
"What are you doing?" Mom asked.
"Count the stars."
This Saturday, the second match of Shuguang High School was held at Shuguang Middle School, against Nanyang High School, which ranked eleventh last year.
As soon as Chen Huafeng entered the alley of Shuguang Middle School, he was startled by what he saw. The narrow alleys were filled with all kinds of cars and motorcycles, all of which belonged to various news units. "It's just one game, and it's attracted so many reporters!"
In the school, a large number of reporters gathered on the side of the court, gathering in groups to discuss the upcoming game and the dark horse team of Shuguang Middle School.
Anke looked through the window at the lineup of reporters who had twice as many reporters as in the last game, and was deeply surprised: "Isn't it? So exaggerated?! ”
Liang Ke said: "Don't care about those things outside the field. Have you forgotten what I told you? ”
"Nope!" All the team members replied loudly.
"Excellent! In this game, our opponent is Nanyang High School, which ranked 11th last year. This is a team that is known for its defense. The opponent's habitual formation is 532, with two dragging back central defenders, and in front of them is their captain, marking central defender Liu Yi. The back five will hardly cross the halfway line in the game. Of the three midfielders, two are midfielders. Their midfield strength is mediocre, but their forward combination is high and fast, and they are still very threatening. No. 9 Liu Yun is nearly 190cm tall and is a powerful center forward who is very good at heading. No. 10 Li Pengfei is only 170cm tall, but he is very fast, his skills are good, and he is very good at breaking through. Nanyang's balls were all scored by these two people. Therefore, we have to be extra careful with these two guys, and we must always keep enough pressure on the opposition defence up front and not let them play on the counter-attack easily. However, Yang Pan, you are still not allowed to shoot from a distance in this game, and you are not allowed to use a single kick in the whole game. ”
Yang Pan nodded.
Anke scolded in his heart: "Crazy! The other party uses a toilet array, and he is not allowed to shoot from a distance, does he really want to infiltrate from the middle? ”
"Ren Yudi."
Ren Yu raised his head.
'In this game, you don't have to limit yourself to the left side. Try to mess up the opponent's defenses, you know? ”
"Understood."
With the referee's whistle, the game began.
As soon as the ball kicked off, Nanyang put on a stubborn posture. In the last game, the Dawning team scored a goal in just nine seconds of the opening game, and Nanyang did not want to repeat the mistake of CITIC.
Liu Yi remembered what the coach said to him before he came on the field: "Shuguang's attack power is very strong, and against a strong team like CITIC, they can all score three goals." The addition of those freshmen in high school made the Dawning team simply reborn. We must not underestimate them! Liu Yi, your task in this game is to see Zhang Jun die. Don't let him get up in the box, he can use a shovel if necessary. ”
As soon as he looked up, Dawn's attack array had already rushed towards him with murderous energy.
Wang Bo distributed the ball to Ren Yudi, Ren Yu took two steps, and saw that the opponent's back line was very tightly defended, so he passed the ball back to Wang Bo in desperation. Liang Ke in the coach's seat frowned when he saw this scene.
Wang Bo carefully controlled the ball, he wanted to pass the ball, but he couldn't find anyone. The two strikers were watched to death. Ren Yudi and Yang Pan can only force the bottom in the face of this kind of toilet formation, but they will also be pushed out by the defenders when they pass into the penalty area. Yang Pan was forbidden by the coach to shoot from long range again. He really couldn't think of any other way to open up this situation.
Just when Wang Bo was at a loss with the ball, Ding Ding, one of Nanyang's double backs, was very clever and snatched the ball from his feet! Nanyang, who won possession of the ball, attacked quickly, Ding Ding drove to the front court with a big foot, and Liu Yun, who was 189cm tall, easily fought for the header on Su Li's head with his height advantage, and his header was ferried to Li Pengfei on the side, Li Pengfei received the ball and was about to dribble the ball, but the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by a person. It's Yang Pan!
Nanyang Middle School threw a throw-in, Liu Yi passed the ball to the front waist Zhang Yiming, Zhang Yiming hoisted the ball into the penalty area again, and the highest loyalty of the Shuguang team was only 186cm, which was still a little worse than Liu Yun. Liu Yun jumped up, the goal of the Dawning team was in danger!
A dark shadow rushed out, leaped high, and grasped the ball firmly with both hands. It's Anke!
"With a high ball? You're underestimating me, aren't you? Are you kidding?! Anke kicked the ball out with a big kick.
Wang Bo received the ball again, and in the face of the dense middle defense, he still had no choice but to pass the ball to Yang Pan, who was inserting at high speed. Yang Pan received the ball, relied on his terrifying speed, forced the bottom, and crossed!
Zhang Jun couldn't catch the ball, and the ball was pushed out by the opponent's tall central defender.
The two teams were at a stalemate on the field. The Dawning team has increased their vigilance, and it is unlikely that Nanyang will want to play a quick counterattack again. However, there is no better way for Shuguang Middle School to face Nanyang's dense defense, penetration in the middle is almost impossible, and crosses from the side are just useless.
The score has been deadlocked at 0:0.
In the 38th minute, the Dawning team attacked for more than half an hour, and finally had a chance, Yang Pan's cross was leaked into the penalty area, Zhang Jun ran to the ball, Liu Yi secretly shouted: "Not good! He hurriedly chased after him. Zhang Jun receives the ball and shoots!
Liu Yi took a risk of a flying tackle, the ball hit his foot and flew out of the bottom line, and Zhang Jun also fell in the penalty area.
The referee blew the whistle. Liu Yi looked at the referee nervously, and the referee pointed to the corner flag, which was a corner kick. Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "It was just a sudden negligence that almost allowed him to succeed! What a carelessness! Liu Yi looked at Zhang Jun's back and thought.
Yang Pan kicked a corner kick into the opponent's penalty area, but was pushed out by Nanyang's central defender.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were still tied 0:0!
"I think you could have done better in the first half!" Liang Ke said, "Ren Yudi, as soon as you opened the opportunity, why didn't you break through directly to the penalty area?" Why postbacks? Are you scared? ”
Ren Yu was silent.
"I don't think your dazzling skills are just pretty! In the second half, no more retreats are allowed. You have to be like Denilson, completely messing up the defense of Nanyang! Be confident! Are you low on confidence? ”
"Also, Zhang Jun and Zhang Rui, you two have to run more in the penalty area and tear apart each other's defenses, you know?"
"Got it!"
"Alright! Forty minutes to go, go and prove to the people outside that you're not shooting stars! ”
