Chapter Ninety-Six: Opportunity
Commentator Liu Hong praised referee Hassan for giving cards to the Australian players, saying that it would help the referee control the situation on the pitch and let the Australian players know whose home stadium it is. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the reality was not quite what he imagined.
Although they received a yellow card, it did not change Australia's tactics.
Zhou Yi is the target of their focus and is the key to their ability to win on the road. How can you be intimidated by a yellow card?
Some Zhou Yi Australian players will use their excellent physical fitness to backlog Zhou Yi, as long as the action is properly controlled, even if they do not foul, they can play a role similar to fouling, anyway, they will not let Zhou Yi take the ball comfortably.
They divided and surrounded Zhou Yi and pressed closely, a two-pronged tactic that tried to make the Chinese team unable to function normally.
It can be said that this strategy is still relatively successful and targeted.
Surrounding Zhou Yi not only cut off Zhou Yi's passing route to the outside, but also cut off the passing route to Zhou Yi from the outside, plus a "personal bodyguard", making it difficult for other players of the Chinese team to pass the football to Zhou Yi, let alone Zhou Yi to pass the ball to others.
So at the beginning of the game, Australia's tactics played the Chinese team a little embarrassed, Zhou Yi repeatedly asked to be unsuccessful, but Australia played very active in the attack, through the physical advantage, they took advantage of the collision. Sometimes it doesn't even count as a foul to get the ball with a physical advantage.
On this basis, they repeatedly attacked the goal of the Chinese team.
At this moment, Sun Pan has become the protagonist of the Chinese team, he has made high and low blocks in front of the goal, and has resolved crises for the Chinese team many times.
Of course, Guo Nu and Yang Muge are also very important in the defense, and without their layers of filtering, then Australia's offensive in front of the Chinese team may be even more ferocious.
However, even if he can hold on and not concede the goal, this is not the result that Gao Hongbo wants, let alone what the Chinese media and fans want. Since it's on your home turf, of course you want to be able to get all three points. In this way, when facing Australia again, the Chinese team can also look more calm.
So it's not enough to just defend, it's still to attack. And if the attack does not threaten the Australian goal, the pressure on the defense will only increase, not decrease.
But how can the offense be improved?
Yang Muge could come up to pick up Zhou Yi, but he didn't dare to do so, because he came up, but the Australian players grabbed the ball from Zhou Yi's feet with a physical advantage, so they could play directly in front of the back line, because their midfield barrier was not in place. As a defensive midfielder, he can't easily plug in, the defensive position is more important than anything else, he can take over the reality of the team's offensive weakness, but he must not rush up to participate in the attack because the offense is unfavorable, resulting in a defensive misposition.
So he can only be in the back, and when Zhou Yi is in trouble, let Zhou Yi pass the football back to him, and he will transfer it, or simply let him organize the attack.
It's just that his offensive organizational ability is far worse than Zhou Yi......
However, his presence does have one more point of play. Therefore, after Zhou Yi was pasted by the other party, if it didn't work, he would decisively pass the football back to Yang Muge.
But this kind of return pass is not very helpful for attack.
You can't always play a game with a return pass or a cross pass, right?
The key is to pass the ball forward.
But Australia is particularly strict with Zhou Yi's forward pass, which is simply a strict defense.
This tight defense hampered the Chinese team's attack.
※※※
When Zhou Yi was surrounded by Australian players and could only pass back, He Ying thought of what Zhou Yi said to himself this morning.
At that time, they had just gotten up, and Zhou Yi came out after washing, and suddenly said to He Ying: "He Ying, in the night game, if I am closely watched by them, you have to retreat to pick me up." ”
He Ying was quite surprised at the time, and didn't understand why Zhou Yi suddenly said this.
So Zhou Yi explained to him, because Australia will definitely focus on guarding him, they will definitely prevent themselves from passing the ball forward, and at this time, He Yinghou needs to withdraw to meet him. When Zhou Yi was deeply encircled, He Ying had to be his reinforcement.
“...... And there is a very important point, He Ying. Your performance against Japan in the last game must have been seen by the Australian coach, and they must have known about your situation at the club, so guess what conclusion they will come to?"
"I ...... Not in good shape. He Ying said.
"Yes. Zhou Yi said. "Will they focus too much on you when you're not in good shape? I don't think so. So you actually have a lot of freedom on the pitch and you can do things without Australia noticing. Your sudden retreat and turn forward will greatly surprise them. ”
"But I'm in ...... state"
"Don't think about it so much, the state will be there. ”
He Ying finally agreed to Zhou Yi's request, he was very envious of Zhou Yi's tactical literacy, but he didn't know that this was verified by Zhou Yi in the virtual space.
In the virtual games he has played, Australia has used a siege strategy against him in the vast majority of games, and in the virtual world, such a high probability means that this is a tactic that Australia is likely to use in reality. In order to deal with this set of tactics, Zhou Yi thought of many ways at first, and later he found that the key to dealing with this defensive strategy was to make He Ying active.
If He Ying is in a lack of confidence or for some other reason, and is out of the way, then this game will be very difficult to play.
※※※
He Ying remembered what Zhou Yi said to himself before the game, he still didn't quite understand why Zhou Yi knew so much about Australia, but he now knew that this was not the time to figure out this problem, anyway, he had already seen the "miracles" shown by Zhou Yi many times, as long as he cooperated with Zhou Yi.
He looked left and right, as Zhou Yi "predicted", the Australian players were not very strict about his defense, and when Zhou Yi got the ball, everyone's eyes naturally turned to Zhou Yi, and they didn't notice their side at all, they were still active.
It's really underestimated.
If He Ying had been angry before, although he wouldn't show it on his face, he would be angry, and there was a fire burning in his heart. In essence, he is a proud person, he is different from Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Yang Muge, Guo Nu These friends, they used to be the same characters, Zhou Yi is a student, an amateur player; Sun Pan is a gangster who was driven to the football team after a fight on the basketball team; Yang Muge and Guo Nu are marginal figures who are not valued in the youth team of their respective clubs.
Only he He Ying has been a team that has attracted much attention since he was a young player, and he has never been absent from the national youth team and the national youth team at all levels as long as he is not injured.
With such an illustrious past and outstanding talent, of course you would be a little proud.
But now, He Ying's heart is much calmer. Since Zhou Yi's strong rise, his star light has been robbed a lot. Everything he encountered in Barcelona also made him feel more peaceful, which will help him figure out some questions that he couldn't understand before, such as "I'm so talented, why am I not as good as Sun Pan now?"
Because he is so ambitious, he thinks that he is talented, so he should follow the path of genius. The move to La Masia, and ultimately the choice to stay at Barcelona, was based on this mentality. He always felt that only Barcelona could match his talent.
In this regard, Sun Pan's choice is much more rational. I chose to go to Chelsea's academy because Chelsea was most interested in him and had the most sincerity, and I followed him for many games, and I just observed him, and I was not interested in anyone else.
At Chelsea, after playing in the youth team, because the first team has a goalkeeper like Petr Cech guarding the goal, it is difficult for him to play even if he is in the first team, so it is better to go out on loan. And in order to be able to play, he is even willing to go to the team of the third division of Germany, if it is put on He Ying, without Zhou Yi's persuasion, he even feels that it is a shame to go to the Spanish Second League.
But Sun Pan has played his own place in the German league, and attracted the favor of Atletico Madrid with his outstanding performance, and Sun Pan himself also felt that although he performed well in the German league team, it was still difficult to squeeze Cech down in the Chelsea first team, so he chose to continue to be loaned out and went to Atletico Madrid, which favored him and observed him for a long time.
In this way, he will be able to play in Atletico Madrid.
At Atletico Madrid, because of the ample opportunities to play, his talent has room to play, and his status has naturally risen.
To put it bluntly, if you don't have the opportunity to perform, no matter how talented you are, it's just a "concept" that you can't perform.
And now there is an opportunity in front of He Ying, he has no chance to show his talent in the club, but in the national team, the head coach trusts him, stares at the huge public opinion pressure of the people across the country, and continues to let him start.
It's a lot of pressure, but it's also an opportunity.
As Zhou Yi said - when the opportunity appears in front of you, you must seize it to be qualified to talk about the future.
Seeing Zhou Yi who was deeply encircled, the retreat would make He Ying lose the opportunity to charge ahead, but it gave him a chance to change his career.
He ran back. (To be continued.) )
