Chapter 30: The Axis
The first half ended.
Although Granada temporarily led by one goal, there was no scene of celebration in the dressing room.
It would be unwise and stupid to celebrate at this time.
There is no room for half of the proud soldiers on the battlefield......
The teammates were drenched in sweat, and most of their bodies were gone, so they began to drink and eat.
I drank a drink that replenished my body, and I ate a fragrant chicken roll.
The players fought for the team in the first half and are now eating and drinking, which is definitely as it should be.
What about the coaching team?
The halftime was fifteen minutes, which was enough to keep the coaches so busy that they didn't even have time to catch their breath.
There are several massage tables in the locker room, and on the left side of the massage table there is a rectangular wooden table, on which there are three or four pieces of paper, on which are written the strategic notes of the two teams in the first half, and the notes are made by the assistant coach.
That's what he has to do every game.
It was Coach Corboni who told him to do the job.
Coach Corboni led several coaches and stood next to each other at the wooden table, several pairs of eyes looking intently at the strategic notes.
"Any opinion?" Coach Corboni asked.
The coaches didn't reply in time, just looked at the strategy notes in fascination.
Ten seconds later, however, the assistant coach spoke: "Although we are temporarily ahead, our pre-arranged tactical configuration is not very effective in terms of performance. ”
Another coach said: "Why don't you give up the double midfield configuration, move Kirby inward, partner with the squirrel and change to a double attacking midfield configuration?" ”
Coach Corboni shook his head: "No, because Kabine is not a pure attacking midfielder, he is a very mobile player, his interception ability is no worse than his attacking ability, and this will limit his range of movement." ”
The assistant coach asked, "Coach, I think we should start with offensive selectivity and think again. ”
Coach Corboni pondered quietly, stared at his notes, and nodded his head fiercely.
Suddenly, he said: "Okay, we slowly gave up the sideline breakthrough tactics in the second half. ”
The assistant coach was shocked: "Coach, if this is the case, we can only blindly attack the middle, after three or four moves, we will be recognized by the other party, and the opponent will block the middle in time, and the team will not be able to eat the sweetness!" ”
Another coach said, "What about high-ball tactics? ”
The assistant coach explained: "That's even worse, the high-ball tactics will also strangle Kabine, making him useless. ”
Coach Corboni paused for more than ten seconds and suddenly said, "Yes, I know how to do it......"
There are five minutes left in the intermission.
The players had eaten and drunk enough and even warmed up in the dressing room.
Kabine stole for a moment, took out his phone from his backpack, and pressed the button to look.
I found two text messages in my phone's inbox.
He opened his inbox, only to learn that it was a text message from Mr. Haas and Widson:
[Mr. Haas: The first half table is good, keep up the good work!] 】
[Widson: Bastard!] I'm watching your game live and you deliver an amazing shot that reminds me of the time when I shot you in the ass with a soccer ball when I was training with you. Ha~! Go for it! 】
After reading the text message, a smile appeared on Kirbine's face, and the fire in his heart burned even more vigorously.
The second half was about to begin, and the coaching team's tactical meeting was over.
Coach Corboni walked to the centre of the dressing room again and said: "The opponent is deliberately making us use possession in the middle of the pitch in order to wait for us to make mistakes, and when we make mistakes, the opponents will start an efficient counter-attack. But they also have to endure a huge crisis, because this will lead to multiple loopholes in the middle of the road at any time. Why are opponents so risky? ”
After the first paragraph, no one in the locker room answered.
Coach Corboni shifted his steps and said, "Because the opponent wants to fight us!" It's a fight of all kinds! ”
The words echoed in the dressing room, just as Coach Corboni had said it three times.
The next words were even more unexpected.
Coach Corboni said: "I decided to innovate, so in the second half the team had to slowly abandon the playbook of breaking through the sidelines. With Kabine as the axis, he stationed troops in the middle and vowed to go to the next city to lock in the victory. ”
The reaction of the players to Coach Corboni was calm, but the reaction of the assistant coach was rather awkward, and he thought that Coach Corboni's decision was a real risk......
The time was up and the players left the dressing room and walked to the pitch.
Carbine, too, was walking to the pitch, calm on the surface, but inwardly thinking about Coach Corbony's makeshift changes in action, trying to figure out what it meant.
As soon as he walked to the exit channel, only about ten meters away from the court, someone shouted to stop him.
It was Coach Corboni who spoke, and the purpose of shouting to stop Carbine was unknown.
Carbine stopped, and Coach Corboni stepped forward and said: "Remember, the defensive work has to continue to be taken care of, and your task in the second half is to sort out the attacking line in the middle, and the squirrel has been changed to a false striker, he will try to cover you, and your running position should be more flexible, so that the opposing defenders can't defend against each other, you know?" ”
The words were short, and Kirbine was momentarily indigestible.
He just said to Coach Corboni: "I get it! I will definitely do my best! ”
Coach Corboni nodded and replied, "Well, it's good to understand, let's get on the field." ”
When the conversation was over, Carbine ran to the pitch.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the score was 0-1 in the first half, and the second half starts immediately." The on-site commentator explained.
The two teams have already set up their formations and are just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.
"~~~Beep~~~"
"Alright, the second half begins." The commentator seems to be talking nonsense, but he seems to be very professional.
Athletic Bilbao held the ball at their feet, and it seemed to be very fierce, but they only kept crossing each other on the sideline and in the middle, probing the reality of the Granada team.
The Granada team defended at a steady pace, and the players were not in a hurry, because if you are in a hurry, you will make mistakes.
The away team is not in a hurry, the home team is in a hurry.
Athletic Bilbao lost patience with the repeated passes, and the attacking line slowly moved up, slowly squeezing the Granada defence.
The other party is not happy, but there is a sense of pressure.
In this second, a defender of the Granada team saw that the enemy was pressing too much, strode forward to hook the ball, and the enemy saw this, and gathered momentum, dialed the ball forward, and the person started again......
A move that has an immediate effect [Forced Breakthrough].
Although the defender was defeated at the beginning, he still clung to it, and he thought: [Even if you can't get the ball back, you won't be allowed to shoot]
The enemy really didn't shoot, not because the defender was very dense,
Instead, the enemy chooses to pass a good ball.
A masterpiece.
The ball is fast, the ball curves, and an arc is bent......
A Granada defender immediately jumped forward to stop the ball, but to no avail. Another enemy catches the ball.
The atmosphere was solemn, and the Granada back line quickly tightened, and Carbine stepped back to defend.
The enemy is extremely fast, quickly release the squirrel, the squirrel makes timely moves, and fights to the death in close quarters.
The enemy is cunning, sending the ball out in a straight line, unloading the squirrel's tightness.
The ball is still under the control of Athletic Bilbao.
Coach Corboni, who was standing by the touchline, went crazy again and shouted: "Kabine! Let's stop the ball! ”
It's not that Carbine doesn't want to take the initiative to disturb the ball, but the distance between the enemy with the ball and himself is getting closer and closer, and at this moment, the position is easy to be unbalanced, and the enemy must have a chance to get out.
Kabine's plan is: [When the enemy is about to run past him, start immediately, and keep up with the pace of the enemy, quickly pinch the position closely, and reduce the opponent's forward space. 】
But at this time, Coach Corboni had already shouted instructions, and Carbine was undecided, not knowing how to counteract.
Seeing that Kabine still had not carried out the instructions, Corboni turned to the assistant coach and said, "This kid is sick!" ”
Kirbine was not sick.
He was willing to abandon Coach Corboni's instructions and do it his way.
"~~~Huh~~~"
A gust of ghost wind is a gust of ghost wind brought by the enemy who is about to brush with him.
It's time to get started.
Kabine leans first and tries to [rendezvous] with the ball-possessed opponent.
The two of them rushed one after the other, walking wildly in unison.
The commentator shouted again: "Okay! Kabine steps forward to break the ball! The two are very fast! ”
The two had already [rendezvous], and Kabine touched the enemy's arm, pulling the enemy as he slowed down.
Speed to speed, shoulder to shoulder.
Kabine leans towards the enemy in an attempt to suppress the opponent's position.
It was outside the penalty area, and the enemy was still insistent and had not passed the ball yet. Kirbine continued to be tenacious and pressed hard.
Several attackers of the Athletic Bilbao team were based in the front point, and there were also reinforcements on the left and right, and the opponent with the ball had a lot of choices, but the successful run along the way made him obsessed with it very much, and at a critical juncture, he still did not pass the ball.
The squirrels retreated to help defend, several teammates were in place on all sides, and the backline led by Fiske was airtight and seemed to be stable.
The ball goes into the box.
The enemy also entered the penalty area.
Also in the box was Kabine.
Restricted areas, sensitive areas.
[Carbine has suffered here before, and it was a disastrous scene against Valencia last time. 】
So Kabine was wary.
There are defenders and attackers in the penalty area, and the space is very narrow, and it is messy.
There was not enough space, and the opponent with the ball had already picked up the pace, and Carbine followed suit.
"Very good distance! Is he going to shoot? The commentator asked loudly.
Doubts are about to be revealed.
The player with the ball dies at first and does not pass the ball.
Now it's dead and don't shoot.
He is a master of art and bold, and he is not presumptuous in the penalty area.
In the forbidden area, it is necessary to be cautious in handling every qiē, so Kabine abandoned the close defense method and replaced it with a face-to-face single defense of the enemy with the ball.
You can really shoot, no matter the angle and distance of the shot.
The opponent with the ball cut diagonally to the right, Kabine moved with his pace, and suddenly, the ball left his feet, but it was not a shot, it was a pass~~~!
"It's unbelievable that he is still playing short passes in the penalty area." The commentator explained.
[If there is a short pass in the penalty area, then the next shot will be a fatal blow]
The words spoken by the coach of the youth team of PSV Eindhoven have been forgotten by Kabine for a long time.
Was it a fatal blow?
I saw that the ball had already been passed out, and the forward speed of the enemy who received the ball was ......
There was no offside, and the wide referee was very sure.
In seconds, the man is in place, and the ball is in place.
The enemy was less than two meters away from the goal at this time, and the distance was terrifying.
He didn't think much about it, he arched his foot, and the ball finally left his foot and ran towards the goal......
