19. Passive defense
At the beginning of the game, the Beijing team kicked off first, and they were not in a hurry to attack, but looked for opportunities in the midfield's steady inverted foot pass. The players of the Changchun team all cautiously returned to their own half to defend.
It is also a South American country, compared to the flashy and technical nature of Brazilian football, Argentine football is more practical, their attack is efficient, practical, and more about overall coordination.
Before the game, Nam Mingzhu told his players in the dressing room to keep an eye on the situation on the pitch at all times, and after midfielder Christian got the ball, the opposing strikers and wide players would quickly step forward.
Sure enough, in the 13th minute, after Christian got the ball, forwards Aso and Diego quickly stepped forward, and the side players also plugged in, Christian smiled, and shook Qin Song who came to intercept with the ball, Luo Tailai immediately came to make up for the defense, but Christan did not continue to pass, but made a diagonal pass to the side.
The ball goes to the feet of the wide player and passes back to Christian, two-one! Christian's successive dribbles attracted the Changchun defence. Just as Christian was about to pass the ball again, the ball was intercepted by Qin Song, who ran back. But the ball didn't roll far, Diego retreated to get the ball, and central defenders Takasugi and Niu Zhuang both came to defend at this time.
"That's not right! One less! Luo Tailai shouted, "Leaking someone! Leaked Aso! ”
Sure enough, after Diego took the ball with his back, he saw that the two central defenders of the Changchun team were attracted to him, he knocked lightly with his heel, and the football accurately passed through the gap between Takasugi and Niu Zhuang, and there was Aso who had been waiting for a long time!
At this critical moment, the referee's whistle blew, and when everyone didn't know what was going on, the linesman's flag held high gave everyone the answer. It turned out that when Diego passed, Aso happened to fall into the offside trap of the Changchun team's backline.
It was really a false alarm, and the players of the Changchun team were relieved. However, Beijing's Argentine Trident was so threatening in its first attack that it was really nerve-wracking.
'The manager was right, the moment the midfielder Christan got the ball was when they bared their fangs. At this time, all the players of the Changchun team thought so in their hearts.
The Changchun team kicked off and the game continued.
"I was so nervous just now, I was so scared that I was going to have a heart attack!" Assistant coach Lao Wang gasped on the side, "If this is a one-on-one goal as soon as it comes up, what will happen to the morale of the team." ”
"Uncle Wang, you're too nervous, come back and sit down." Nan Mingzhu calmly beckoned Lao Wang to return to the coach's seat, "Although the opponent has an offensive trident, don't forget that we are also an undefeated team in the league." You see the players on the pitch are much calmer than you. ”
Nan Mingzhu pointed to the back line of the Changchun team and said: "You see that when Gao Shan and Niu Zhuang stepped forward to defend just now, fullbacks Shi Kai and Zhao Jialin also stepped forward, they calmly created an offside trap, and Asu just stared at the direction of the football, and when Diego got the ball, he wanted this opportunity, but ignored his position." ”
Lao Wang nodded, slowly returned to the coach's seat and sat down, thinking to himself: If it was the previous team, maybe this ball would really become a single goal.
"In the face of a strong team like Beijing, there will be one scene after another like this." Nan Mingzhu said.
Sure enough, Lao Wang's body stood up again before he could sit firmly, and at this time, it was the Beijing team that took the ball, and the football passed directly to Asu's feet, and Takasugi immediately took a close defense to prevent Aso from turning around. Aso had no choice but to protect the ball first and wait for his companion to come up and respond.
Christian quickly ran over to ask for the ball, and at this time, Shi Kai decisively ran over to cooperate with Takasugi's defense, and he saw the opportunity to kick the ball forward with a big kick to save the day.
"Well done! The small stone is beautiful, and the mountain is also very beautiful, and the opponent's striker can't be turned around! Goalkeeper Jiang Bo shouted encouragement to the defenders.
Soon, the Beijing team made a comeback, and it was Christian who took the ball, and Luo Tailai quickly approached. But Christian protected the ball well, and Rotailai couldn't break it easily. At this time, Christian observed the situation on the field, Diego and Atsu were both closely watched, and there was no chance.
"Haha, Chinese, football is a sport of eleven people, do you really think that I will only pass the ball to our own people?" Christian smiled dismissively. Randomly flicked the ball to the side and passed it to Sun Dazhi, who was inserted from the left side.
If you want to say that the best player in the Beijing team with the Argentine trio at the moment, it is Sun Dazhi. Often when other teams are staring at the Argentine, it is Sun Dazhi who intervenes to assist in the attack, taking advantage of the opponent's negligence to open up the gap and mobilize the defense.
The same is true now, Sun Dazhi was completely unmarked after taking the ball, and at this time it was too late for Changchun left-back Zhao Jialin to chase back, Sun Dazhi cut inside, and he was very close to the goal. And the goalkeeper of the Changchun team, Jiang Bo, has already opened his hands and is ready to save.
At this time, Niu Zhuang ran over to fill in the position, ready to intercept, but it seemed a little too late. Sun Dazhi posed as a shot, and there were words in his mouth: "Haha, stupid cow, take the bait." Then he passed the ball to Diego in the open space!
It turned out to be a feint, and Sun Dazhi's previous series of actions were just to attract Niu Zhuang to take the bait, so as to liberate Diego.
"Damn! Hit the trick! Niu shouted. Behind him, Diego was already in his position and was about to shoot with his left foot.
"Smack!" It's the sound of a soccer ball hitting a boot. Immediately afterwards, a figure got up quickly, ran forward with the football, and passed the ball to the front court.
"Qin Song! Qin Song! The fans at the scene shouted excitedly.
It turned out that just when Diego was about to shoot, it was Qin Song who ran back, cut off the football with a sliding tackle, and then quickly got up and dribbled the ball forward. This happened in less than ten seconds, leaving everyone stunned.
"Well done! Xiao Qin! Niu Zhuang came up and slapped Qin Song's back fiercely, causing Qin Song to stumble forward.
"Don't be complacent, this time it's just a coincidence, I want to see how many waves you can withstand!" Sun Dazhi came from behind and said to Niu Zhuang.
"Humph! Come on! Come a few times and put you down a few times! Niu Zhuang responded unceremoniously.
"Sister Nan is so amazing!" Qin Song would think of what head coach Nan Mingzhu said to him before the game at this time.
"Xiao Qin, your task is like this, Brother Lai is staring at their midfield, Dashan Dazhuang is staring at the striker, but the Beijing team also has a Sun Dazhi, this person may pass the ball or shoot after taking the ball, if Da Zhuang they fill in the position to mark Sun Dazhi, then you have to be optimistic about Sun Dazhi's passing channel, once he passes the ball out, you will go up to me to cut it off!"
In fact, as analyzed by Nan Mingzhu, the next attacks organized by the Beijing team using Sun Dazhi were resolved by the Changchun team one by one.
Qin Song completed the task well, he successfully protected Niu Zhuang to mark the gap generated after Sun Dazhi, and left-back Zhao Jialin also participated in the defense of Diego, so Sun Dazhi basically did not play its due role in the first half.
