Chapter 305: A Different Kind of Passion
Coach's seat in Hong Kong, China.
Wan Sheng was in his seat, watching the game seriously, and the camera pointed over, and it could be noticed that his expression was very serious, but there was still a hint of relaxation.
Fan Zhiyi and Bergkamp sat on the side.
In just two days of contact, Fan Zhiyi has already met Bergkamp, Fan Zhiyi's English is not too standard, but he was still able to have some communication with Bergkamp, and now they are talking about the game.
"It's okay to play now, but you still have to pay attention to defense." Fan Zhiyi is a little worried about defense, perhaps because the team has always paid attention to defense during the preparation process.
Bergkamp had a different view: "I think we should be more aggressive and make them scared of us and show the strength of the team. β
Hearing this, Wan Sheng turned his head and said with a smile, "I think so too." β
"Oh?"
Fan Zhiyi looked at Wan Sheng, although Bergkamp is a big star, but in terms of coaching and leading the team's games, Wan Sheng is the one with strong ability, and he is also the head coach of the team.
"If the game goes on like this, you can't say who will score first, so we should play tougher, play strong, play advantage, so that the chances are greater."
Fan Zhiyi thought and nodded.
He didn't know if what Wan Sheng said was right, but he felt that it was a bit dangerous for Hong Kong, China to fight with Thailand like this.
Wan Sheng also knew about the danger, but he didn't think about it.
In other words, how can a football game not be dangerous? How can anyone win for sure? The two teams are competing for chances, and the more opportunities they have, the more likely they are to win.
Offense and defense are two extremes, to defend well, you must give up some offense, and vice versa, the team plays tougher, you will definitely be able to fight for more initiative, more opportunities, so that you have more hope of winning.
Right now. The game has just begun.
Unlike Thailand coach Savit, they don't feel that the team is only playing against the Thai team with a momentum, because he knows that the players have not fully integrated into the game, after all, this is Thailand's home stadium, and the shouts of the fans still cause some interference to the performance of the players, that is, the team has not yet started to play its strength.
Now that we can play evenly with the Thai team, then the team will not be at a disadvantage in the future.
ββββ
On the field, the clock has passed 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes of fierce confrontation, the players of both teams have gradually entered the state. The cooperation between each other began to fight, and at the same time, the intensity of the confrontation did not decrease, but became a little more intense.
Zhuo Zhuo stood at the front of the formation in Hong Kong, China.
From the beginning of the game, his head echoed with the words of his coach, "...... We have to be more resolute, no matter what choice we make in the game, don't hesitate, pass the ball when we need to pass it, shoot when we need to shoot. Be decisive in everything you do...... If you have a chance in front of you, shoot straight at goal, don't hesitate and don't think about the chance. Kick it hard...... Fight, to kick tougher, more manly......"
These words are to guide yourself on what to do in the game.
Zhuo Zhuo also did what Wan Sheng said, and from the first minute of the game, he played very tough and resolute.
As a striker. He often has to deal with the entanglement of the opponent, as well as the various small movements of the Thai players, which makes him have to face more than just defensive pressure. So Zhuo Zhuo rampage in front, running, squeezing, finding positions without the ball, constantly colliding with the opposing defenders, after receiving the pass, seeing that he was about to be robbed, he directly picked up his big foot, and kicked directly forward, twice in a row The shots were all hit on the opposing player and popped out of bounds, maybe it wasn't called a shot, it was about to be tackled, and he kicked helplessly, but this approach worked, this time, the defending Thai player saw him raise his right foot, and subconsciously dodged, and then Zhuo Zhuo easily jumped over with the ball.
A successful breakthrough!
After Zhuo Zhuo completed the breakthrough, the central defender Gidshavard greeted him, and in the process of running over, he also shouted a lot of chase, as if he was blaming his teammates for letting Zhuo Zhuo break through easily.
Against Gidshavard, Zhuo Zhuo opted for a pass.
He passed the ball to Chen Zhaoji, who was inserted, and Chen Zhaoji received the ball a little slower and was entangled by the opposing player, Pedepong.
At this moment, Zhuo Zhuo shouted, "Shoot! β
Chen Zhaoji reacted at this time, remembering what the head coach had said before the game, and then he turned around and picked up his right foot and kicked it in the direction of the goal.
"Bang!"
The ball bounced high on Pedepong's leg before being cleared off the line by Thai full-back Sevavin.
There is no threat to shoot, but this attack reminded Chen Zhaoji what to do, the ball just now was kicked very happily, even if it was blocked by the opponent, but at least it was considered to have completed the shot, and the feeling of the football kicking on the opponent ...... It's cool!
"Let Ne-Mad haunt again! Next time, I'll do it again! Chen Zhaoji thought.
Soon Hong Kong's next wave of attack came again, this time with Zhuo Zhuo outside the box, 30 meters from the goal, directly with his feet and long shot, the ball passed between the two Thai defenders, straight to the left side of the goal.
Thai goalkeeper Gedepudesa did well and will save the ball off the line.
Hong Kong got a kick.
Fullback Luo Zhikun sent a corner kick, the football fell straight to the front point, Zhuo Zhuo and the opposing player fell to the ground in the scramble, but the referee did not signal a foul, and in the confusion, Thai midfielder Siripan cleared the ball out of the sideline.
After Luo Zhikun sent the sideline ball, Jiang Shihao got up again to hang the ball in the middle, and Chen Zhaoji used the top of his head to point the ball backwards to Zhuo Zhuo.
Zhuo Zhuo almost did not hesitate, and directly raised his foot to volley when he met the ball.
It's too difficult to shoot with this kind of difficulty, and it's too difficult to hit a threat. As a result, the ball flew high above the crossbar and went out of bounds, completely hitting the plane.
Zhuo Zhuo covered his face with some annoyance, smiled embarrassedly at his teammates, and walked back.
However, the media still spoke highly of this offensive in Hong Kong, China.
Gao Jixian, a commentator on Super Sports S Channel, said, "Hong Kong, China has continuously launched an offensive against the Thai goal, wave after wave can't stop at all, the Thai team is in a hurry, although it doesn't pose much threat, but Zhuo Zhuo's first shot is still interesting, mainly because the Hong Kong team played with momentum." The opponent who pressed was out of breath......"
Japan's NTV TV commentator Itsunori Onodera also had to admit that "the continuous offensive of the Hong Kong team has brought a lot of trouble to the Thais." β
"The competition between the two teams is very fierce, and there is no disadvantage in the strength of the Hong Kong team." Then he made a judgment, "But as time passes, the Hong Kong team's hard work will drop a lot, and Thailand is likely to play an advantageous ...... at that time."
Regardless of Itsunori Onodera's predictions, at least so far, the Thai team has not felt any advantage.
The only feeling of the Thai players on the field is that the game is really too hard!
Before the game. Many media have analyzed that the Hong Kong team relied on defense and luck to win Australia, and the head coach Chavit also said the same, Chavit and their statement is that Hong Kong, China is likely to choose defense, and what they need to pay attention to is how to break through the dense defense to achieve the goal.
So they all think that the team should play against Hong Kong, China.
But the game was not like this, the Hong Kong team on the field played very tough, and they looked desperate.
in this regard. The Thai frontcourt players felt it the most.
Striker Nutham has been defended all the time, and he has not done much so far because the opposing defenders have been too dead to mark him, just like that. Nutterham didn't care, after all, there was a gap between the opponent's strength and theirs.
Nutterham feels that the opponent is playing too hard!
It's like just now, as soon as he got the ball, the opponent rushed over. That made him shrug a little, and then he just took a step before the opponent fell to the ground and tackled. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have been shoveled to the ankle.
Even so, Nutterham is not afraid, and his teammates will do the same when they play against strong teams, but the key is that the players of this Hong Kong team are too physically tough!
This is the most obvious feeling of Noottenham.
Nutterham never imagined that he would encounter a situation where he did not want to make physical contact with the opponent in the match against the Hong Kong team.
In the Thai team, he is also considered strong, but after a few physical collisions with opposing players, he felt bursts of pain in the muscles of his arms and thighs.
Which is this Hong Kong team!?
It's all European teams, or even African teams, okay!
Look at their players, they don't seem to be stronger than their own, but they really collide, they are completely inferior!
Other Thai players also felt similar to Nutterham, who had physical contact with the Hong Kong team players several times, and they were the ones who were at a disadvantage, especially sometimes they would collide with each other when they grabbed the ball, and the opponent was okay to continue the game, and they had to hurt for a long time.
The gap in physical fitness is too obvious!
This situation is difficult for fans and spectators to see, because even if the players have a physical collision, they only hurt for a while, and then continue the game, and the scene seems to be equal between the two teams, but in fact, the Thai players are suffering 'physical damage'.
The fierce confrontation in the game really made them suffer.
ββββ
In this case, the only thing that is not surprising is Wansheng.
Hong Kong, China and Thailand are both teams in eastern Asia, and the physical fitness of the players is about the same, Hong Kong, China is not weak in this regard, and during the half-month training period, Wansheng let the players do the most training, which is about improving the confrontation ability, half a month is not long, but the average player still improves the confrontation ability attribute evaluation of 2 to 3 points.
On the playing field, it is difficult to show the advantages of 2 to 3 points of attribute evaluation, but don't forget that Wansheng's coaching skills, players' union skills, honor skills, etc., are bonus to the player's attribute ability.
After Wan Sheng coached the team, the 'not weak ability' has become an advantage, and under the effect of various attribute ability bonuses, the confrontation ability of each player in the team has improved a lot, so it is much stronger than the Thai team.
So in terms of head-on physical confrontation, the Thai team will naturally be at a disadvantage.
This is the biggest advantage of Hong Kong, China.
Maybe they are semi-professional players, or maybe the skills and abilities of the whole team can't catch up with the opponent, but just talking about confrontation ability, it is completely the advantage of Hong Kong, China, so in the case of head-to-head confrontation, the Hong Kong team will not fall behind at all.
It's like an African team playing a European team.
The technical strength of the African team is not strong, and the overall technical and tactical quality is not high, but it is not easy for European teams to win against African teams, just like a strong team like Ghana, even if Spain, Germany and other strong teams encounter headaches. Because their players are so physical, they have a big disadvantage against them.
That's it on the field now.
In terms of technology, the Thai team played better than Hong Kong, China, both in terms of individual ability and cooperation, but they just couldn't play an advantage on the field, and Hong Kong, China played tougher than them and fought more actively.
In addition, Hong Kong, China, in several attacks, frequent long-range shots, also posed a lot of threat to the Thai goal.
One of the most interesting players is striker Chen Zhaoji.
After Zhuo Zhuo's reminder. Chen Zhaoji thought of what the coach said before the game, his long-range shooting skills were already good, and his feet were also very powerful, so he got the ball in front of the penalty area and shot directly, two of the three kicks did not pose a threat, but the two shots that did not pose a threat made several Thai defenders tremble, and that kind of strong shot, if it was directly pasted in the face. The scene is not too good-looking, and they estimate that they may end up directly.
In the 36th minute, Hong Kong's attack came again.
Hong Kong and Thailand fought for the ball three times in a row. In the end, full-back Huang Zhenyu kicked the ball to the front, and Zhuo Zhuo received the ball and passed straight to the middle.
Chen Zhaoji received a pass and turned around to get up.
Watching Chen Zhaoji's turning action, the defending Pedepong subconsciously shrank his neck. But Chen Zhaoji did not choose to shoot, but changed his action to bring the ball to one side.
By the time Pedrepong reacted, he couldn't catch up.
Chen Zhaoji took two steps forward. Seeing another Thai player coming to defend, he glanced at the goal and got up again.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the ball headed straight for the goal.
Thai goalkeeper Gedpudesa judged the position and made a strong save, but Chen Zhaoji's shot was full of power and tricky angles, and by the time he pounced on the position, the football had already flown over the goal line first.
ββββ
"Zhuo Zhuo! Zhuo Zhuo! He passed the ball to Chen Zhaoji......"
"Chen Zhaoji shoots!"
"Oh no! It wasn't a shot, he made a feint, it was realistic, and the defenders were fooled...... He continued to dribble forward...... Shot!? β
"It's a shot, the ball goes in! The ball is in! β
"The ball is inβ!!"
βGooooalοΌοΌβ
The Hong Kong commentator shouted excitedly, "Chen Zhaoji! Chen Zhaoji! Chen Zhaoji! He scored a goal for Hong Kong, China, 1:0, a direct shot in front of the penalty area! The ball was powerful and the Thai goalkeeper made an accurate save, but the ball went in! β
"Well done! 1:0οΌ 1:0οΌ β
"Hong Kong, China is ahead!"
While the Hong Kong commentator was commenting passionately, other media outlets were also talking about the goal.
"The ball is in! Hong Kong striker Chan Chiu-kee, who helped the Hong Kong team score a goal! A clean long shot! β
"Chen Zhaoji's passing is very interesting, and the Thai defenders seem to be afraid of him!"
"The shot was powerful, a great shot! With 37 minutes played, Hong Kong took the lead. It was a terrific lead, they fought for almost 40 minutes and finally got the goal. The Thai fans of the host country may find it difficult to accept this score......"
"Hong Kong were lucky, they scored a goal to lead Thailand! If they can win this game, it will almost be equivalent to securing a promotion spot in advance! β
ββ¦β¦β
In the midst of the tumultuous reports, Wan Sheng had already clenched his fists and stood up.
After almost 40 minutes of play, the team finally scored and he was very excited.
And not just because of the goals!
In fact, for the current Wan Sheng, it is difficult to excite him with a goal, and against the Thai team, Hong Kong, China has no disadvantage, even if it wins, it is not a big deal, but the meaning of this goal is different.
Whether it is coaching Derby County or Manchester City, Wan Sheng is accustomed to using tactics and playing styles to complete goals to solve the opponent, but now the Hong Kong team has a poor start and can't play any decent tactics at all, and it makes no sense to talk about complex tactics.
So in this game with the Thai team, the only way to fight hard is to fight head-on.
Wansheng is not sure of winning, and it is the first time for him to really let the team go to the opponent's hard steel, but now that the team has scored, this is not brought by any tactics, nor is it brought by the ability of the players, it is completely dependent on the hard work of the whole team.
If you win this game, it's a team win!
This brings a different feeling to Wansheng.
He was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted, hugged Bergkamp and Fan Zhiyi tightly, completely ignoring his image, just carnivaling with others.
That's football.
Different goals, different emotions! (To be continued.) )
