Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Flowing Soldiers (II)

PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Walking Alone in the Wind" and the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Wild Elephant Bullet Wave", congratulations to the book friend "Wild Elephant Bullet Wave" for becoming the second helmsman of this book!

Judging from the table of the Chinese Super League, as long as the opponent passes the ball behind him to the middle of the road he is guarding, this counterattack will definitely end in nothing. And if the opponent passes the ball behind him to the side, the threat will drop significantly, not to mention, Bai Jiajun still has a good chance of catching up, his speed advantage is too great

Relying on Bai Jiajun's over-speed pursuit, the Shanghai Oriental team did not give the opponent even a chance to shoot in the first game of the season, this very shocking result made Bai Jiajun immediately sit in the main position, even after the original two main central defenders returned from injury, his playing time has always been the most.

Although as the saying goes, "one trick is fresh, eat all over the world." But there is also a premise for this move to play such a big role, that is, the Shanghai Oriental team's ball control ability should be strong enough to completely flatten the opponent's formation, because the former is approximately fixed, so the key is actually the strength of the opponent, and it is naturally easy to press the weak team through the half, but if the opponent's strength is not under the Oriental team, this is too difficult.

The strongest competitor Guangzhou Hengda team encountered by the Shanghai Oriental team this season is such a team, although the possession rate of the Shanghai Oriental team is still superior, but it cannot suppress the opponent can not play the position of the offensive Cheng dù, and in the counterattack they also have an absolute speed faster than Bai Jiajun Super fast horse - Brazilian "Black Panther" Muric, although the latter is still difficult to break through Bai Jiajun's iron gate directly from the middle in the counterattack, but if you go to the side, Bai Jiajun's speed is fast, It is also impossible to catch up with the football before Muric

But in this case, Bai Jiajun has shown that he has surpassed Asia's first-class tackling skills and one-on-one marking ability. Even Muric, who has super dribbling skills, has a considerable chance of losing the ball as long as he is entangled by Bai Jiajun, let alone others. And what makes the offensive players vomit blood even more is that even if Bai Jiajun fails to release the shovel, he can quickly get up and catch up with him with a super low center of gravity. And then again

And it must be noted that due to the earlier introduction of nutritionists and physical coaches, the physical development of young players in the Shanghai Oriental team is much faster and better than in history, due to the obvious improvement of the strength of the players, coupled with the help of as many as 4 high-level foreign aids, the current Shanghai Oriental team whether it is "rushing around", or "passing around" The power has been fully revealed, even in the face of Guangzhou Hengda team such as the top Asian team, the ball possession rate in the game can easily exceed 60%, When playing other teams, it can almost exceed 70%. With such a strong control force, the opponent can't organize a few attacks in the whole game, where can he afford such a waste?

With these three strengths, Bai Jiajun quickly became the most important player in the Shanghai Oriental team's backline, and with his help, Shanghai Oriental team had a wonderful start to the season, not only did not concede a goal in the first five rounds, but also gave opponents a total of 19 shots on goal. The average is less than 4 times per game, and if you remove the number of games against Guangzhou Hengda. In the other four games, the opponent only gave 7 chances, only one of which was from inside the penalty area, and the Shanghai Oriental team finally lived up to its name

However, due to Bai Jiajun's short stature, some teams soon began to target this "weakness", but when they sacrificed the oldest football tactics of long passing, they found that Bai Jiajun's air defense weakness was not as obvious as he originally thought. Especially in sports warfare, he can even go around the front defense to target a foreign high striker who is more than 1.9 meters tall, which makes the audience in an uproar, and the nickname of "Chinese Cannavaro" spreads, and it was soon upgraded to "Asian Cannavaro"

Of course. After all, the disadvantage of height is there, in the set-piece defense that needs to be tougher than before, Bai Jiajun's air defense is still quite weak, and the Shanghai Oriental team is basically a technical player with weak air dominance even in the frontcourt, and it cannot be compensated for by guò change defense, so the set-piece defense later became a major fatal flaw for them. However, with the Shanghai Oriental team's super midfield control in China, the Chinese Super League opponents can get very few set-piece opportunities in the game, and it is almost impossible to beat them by scoring set-pieces

Not to mention the Chinese Super League, even in this year's AFC Champions League, Bai Jiajun's performance is still very good. The Japanese team, which is also good at ball control and high pressing, does not have too strong high-altitude bombing ability, and the South Korean team, which has the three magic weapons of pressing, counterattacking and set-pieces, has always been afraid of ball-possession teams, coupled with the excellent individual ability of the four foreign players of the Oriental team, it is difficult to have opponents who can really pose a threat even in the Asian arena (in fact, this is also an important reason for Xu Gen's release, and the completely unchallenged game is not good for the growth of young players in the team). As a result, Bai Jiajun was able to develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses and became the most watched new star in Chinese football in 2009.

Bai Jiajun's radiant performance in the first half of this season not only allowed Xu Genbao to generously sell the domestic first-class central defender Du Wei to competitors, but also naturally attracted the attention of Mendes, a predator who has almost monopolized China's excellent player resources, but after following and observing for a period of time and consulting with Gao Jun, who is now recognized as the best football agent in the world, persuaded Bai Jiajun not to think about staying abroad immediately, the reason is very simple, Bai Jiajun's characteristics should be in a strong team, And it is only in the strong team that is good at ball control that it can give full play, but it is difficult for a Chinese player to have the opportunity to directly enter the giants and obtain at least the status of a rotating substitute. Mendes's advice to Bai Jiajun is to play in China for two years in a down-to-earth manner, fully prove that he is the No. 1 central defender in Asia, and then seek the opportunity to land in Europe, and he will use this longer time to patiently help him find and contact a suitable next home, Bai Jiajun accepted this arrangement after consulting Gao Jun's advice

With the birth of Bai Jiajun, Du Wei's departure not only did not weaken the back line of the Shanghai Oriental team, but avoided vicious competition, which is very beneficial to the harmonious atmosphere of the team. Although there are only three strong central defenders left in the Eastern team, because the physical consumption of this position is small, the attendance rate is much higher than that of other positions (except for goalkeepers), as long as it is not too unlucky to encounter multiple injuries and suspensions at the same time, it is generally enough.

The vacancy of Wuqiu Wang's departure from the team is filled by high-level foreign aid, and Du Wei has been reduced to a substitute before leaving the team, but Zhang Linpeng is now the No. 1 right-back in China (Sun Jihai has never been able to recover to his peak state after that major injury, although the technique and strength are still there, but the physical fitness is no longer enough to debut the fullback position. His departure is still a bit of a loss for the Shanghai Oriental team. However, the Shanghai Oriental team is rich in fullbacks, if Zhang Linpeng does not leave, where will the junior brothers such as Wang Shengchao and Li Yunqiu, who are also very potential, have a chance to get ahead? Therefore, even if the strength of the team will be damaged because of this, Xu Genbao still fully supports Zhang Linpeng's going abroad, although just in case, this time he still adopted the method of "rent first and buy later".

Compared with the proud Shanghai Oriental team, Gao Jun's other former parent team, the Dresden Dynamo team, was very unhappy last season. The departure of Gao Jun, Neuer, Hummels, Rong Hao and many other main players has significantly weakened the strength and bench depth of the Dresden Dynamo team, and Magath's recruitment before the start of the new season has not been successful

As a result, in the season just ended, the Dresden Dynamo team was disappointing on three fronts, the Champions League group stage was out early, and the German Cup was upset by an unknown weak team, only the Bundesliga situation was slightly better, after the dismal start after the results in the first half of the season once fell to tenth, Magath helped the team to play a good enough physical reserve in the second half of the season gradually showed an advantage, plus the team's new season greatly adjusted back line has gradually stabilized, As a result, Dynamo Dresden was able to bounce back in the second half of the league and narrowly managed to qualify for next season's UEFA Cup, which was not for nothing

As for several Chinese players who play in the Dresden Dynamo team, they have their own joys and sorrows, Wang Dalei, who was entrusted with important tasks in the new season, was sent back to the bench by Magath because of two low-level mistakes after playing a few games, and Dresden fans who always subconsciously compare him with Neuer are also very disappointed in his appearance, and only a few sane people understand that it is too difficult to compare a young goalkeeper like Wang Dalei with Neuer, who is now likely to be the world's No. 1 goalkeeper. However, it is also because of this that Wang Dalei will lose the main position soon is objectively a good thing, because in this way he can temporarily avoid the cusp, and after such a lesson, Wang Dalei is more cautious in the game, although there are still occasional low-level mistakes, but compared with before he was beaten into the cold palace this time, it has been significantly more stable

And because the No. 2 goalkeeper's table in the next few games was worse than the previous Wang Dalei, so Magath had to give Wang Dalei another chance, and in the end he still passed guò "worse than rotten" to temporarily sit in the position of the main goalkeeper. However, even he knows very well that this is of course because of his own improvement, but also because the whole team has accepted the new positioning, and the current Dresden Dynamo is no longer the invincible super team, but just an ordinary strong team in the Bundesliga (to be continued......
