Chapter 53: The Lower Back
"Defensive organizational core?"
Coach Fukai never thought of letting Fujii take on this task, he himself was a frontcourt player when he was a player, and he lacked experience in training in the midfield and backfield, and he never thought about dragging such a good offensive player to a back position.
"The back of the 442 diamond-shaped midfielder is no lower than the front midfielder, not only has the passing organization ability of the midfielder, but also has to frequently intercept the opponent's attacking players, body and technique, all of which are indispensable, and Fujii Shu can do these perfectly."
Coach Yasuda patiently explained that it was too late to use tomorrow's game, but fortunately, it was only the second round, and the strength of the opponent Otsu High School was probably the same as Horitaka High School.
Hopefully, Otsu High School didn't find this weakness.
Thinking with a little worry in his heart, Coach Yasuda thought.
January 3, 2013, National Gymnasium, Tokyo, National High School Competition, Second Round.
Kicking off in the middle circle, Otsu High School's No. 10 midfielder Makino Nagataka held the ball and made a long pass to the winger No. 9 Toru Honda in the front court.
"It's such a fast speed, this winger from Otsu High School, it is said that he practiced sprinting when he was in junior high school, and Nakamura, the tenth back of Hachioji High School, can't keep up at all!"
In the live broadcast room of Asahi TV, the commentator Antaro Matsuki was a little nervous, and the captain of Nakamura, who guarded the midfield and backfield, couldn't catch up desperately, and Toru Honyamada, who was unbeatable.
The shoulders sank, the ball turned around, Toru Honda shook off the central defender Nagahama who stepped forward to intercept, and flexibly cut from the side to the middle, and you can faintly get a glimpse of the technical characteristics of Bayern star Robben.
Facing Ryunosuke who took the initiative, he dribbled the ball and turned from the middle to the right side, and between movements, a sudden right-footed arch touched the ball, rolling the ball from Ryunosuke's side into the goal.
"Hahaha! Remember me! Remember my number, my name, Toru Honda is also! ”
Toru Honda, who scored the goal, ran to his knees on the sidelines, rushed to the camera lens of the live broadcast, pointed to his number nine, and laughed happily.
Fujii Shu's face was expressionless, and he was only one goal behind, so he didn't panic.
In the fourteenth minute of the first half, he received the ball, and the two players in charge of marking him were one in front and one in the back, both of whom were fast full-backs, and it seemed that the opponent did not want to let himself sprint with the ball.
A croquette with no difficulty, waded past the first full-back who was not self-sufficient, rushed more than ten meters away with the ball, and his body naturally used a Marseille maneuver to get rid of the second defensive defender.
The televised camera was barely able to keep up with him, and the corners of Yasutaro Matsuki's mouth, who was watching him, opened the corners of his mouth and let out a series of indistinct exclamations.
"Oops, hey, hey! Quick, really fast! Not only the speed, but also the rhythm of the dribbling! ”
Fujii Shu looked up and swept the front court, there were three defenders in front of him, he pulled to the right side, a central defender stopped, he hit it directly, the offensive in the state of the ball is favorable to the rules, let Fujii Shu's unscrupulous shoulder hit the strong defensive central defender, the goal distance is only 19 meters!
Provoked the football, a rainbow pass the ball over the head of the next defender, the last defender stepped forward to press, Fujii Shu and he squeezed together, suppressed the opponent with his body, raised his foot, concentrated his strength on the football, shot from a side position of fifteen meters away, depressed his posture, leg muscles agitated, and shot out vigorously.
“gooooooooool!!!”
The ball went straight through the goal, and the goalkeeper of Otsu High School was knocked away by the huge force of Pei Ran, and an unstoppable shot set off cheers and waves in the stands, and the net rippled, and the football fell on the green grass inside the goal.
Matsuki Yasutaro waited for a few seconds before he yelled, clenched his fists and swung them down.
After the goal, Fujii trotted to the side of the pitch, put one hand to his ear, and made a listening gesture to the stands, which was a celebration imitation of Italy's melancholy prince Baggio, which was both unassuming and impressive.
"Huhuhu-ha! Huhuhu--ha! ”
Tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were conquered by his goal, and most of the fans who watched the high school games did not support the home team, in order to appreciate the feeling of young people fighting hard when they were in the prime of their youth.
The sound was lowered for a while, and then suddenly pulled up, and the wonderful performance of scoring goals by five people in a row deserves such preferential treatment.
In the fifteenth minute of the first half, the score was equalized by Fujii Shu, 1-1.
"Look at the performance on the spot! Hachioji High School No. 13 forward Fujii Shu, a goal of complete personal ability, he can always stand up in times of crisis, we said before the first round of matches, as long as he plays well, the signing fee may reach hundreds of millions of yen, and now I want to change my words, his value, has reached this level. ”
Sergio in the live broadcast room also began to tout Fujii Shulai, how could he be indifferent in the face of such an incomprehensible player.
On the bench at Otsu High School, coach Maruyama was not hit, he knew that his team could not prevent players like Fujii, although he deliberately sent someone to target, it was just to show his attitude.
Let's go in! It depends on who scores more, and the team I have tuned out is best at attacking.
Coach Maruyama has the chance to win, and he gestures to his own players on the field to strengthen the attack!
The ball returned to the feet of Otsu High School, midfielder Nagataka Makino followed the arrow of the attack, kicked straight behind him, and passed to the winger Toru Honda, and Captain Nakamura had nothing to do with Toru Motoyama, allowing the opponent to throw himself off and attack from the side.
This time, Toru Honda tried to shoot from a distance, and the ball narrowly grazed the crossbar and hit high, but the midfielders of Hachioji High School did not bring him much resistance, and if he continued like this, he would concede the ball sooner or later.
"Fukai, substitution, replace Nakamura Shikei, the upper central defender has Nakaharu Mura, let Fujii Shu play the back, Nakaji Mura assists in defense near him, and you have to stabilize it first in the first half."
Coach Yasuda, who was sitting next to him, said decisively that he couldn't play like this anymore and had to make adjustments.
"Hey! I'll inform the referee. ”
Coach Fukai got up from his seat, and with a chance to kill the ball, he raised the number plate on the sidelines, No. 10 Shiki Nakamura, and No. 15 Nakaharu Arimura.
Oh! Do you see it?
Coach Maruyama of Otsu High School unexpectedly looked at the substitution adjustment, and his eyes stopped at the chubby and kind coach Yasuda next to Coach Fukai, the champion coach of Kashima Antlers, he still recognized.
Moved the rescuers, Yasuda Yasuchi, what a big name!
Coach Maruyama, who can only coach a team of high school students, sneered a few times, and the big Buddha who was temporarily invited would not help in the face of this situation in advance, unless it ......
His gaze moved to Fujii Tree, who had just come on the field and whispered a few words to Nakaharu Arimura, unless this genius can really be perfectly qualified for the work of the midfield, which is the opposite position of the frontcourt player, and the midfielder Shikei Nakamura is not competent, and a frontcourt player will not make much splash.
"Wear this, tree!"
Captain Nakamura, who was about to leave the game, took off the captain's cuff on his arm and put it on Fujii's arm with his own hands, and it was obvious that he was a little disappointed when he left the game early, but he still forced a smile.
"After I get off the field, you will be the captain, you have to take on the responsibility of the captain, I believe you can do better than me."
After saying that, Captain Nakamura turned around and left, returning to the bench, his back a little gloomy.
