Chapter 6 One person breaks through an entire line of defense
On the sidelines, the members of the coaching staff, including assistant coach Blanca, were all impressed by Lin Quan's beautiful breakthrough just now.
Especially the way that Messi is passing, they can't help but talk about it.
"It really looks like Messi just now!"
"Yes, he has taken the power of one pinch and one button to the extreme!"
"Raphinha made the right choice, if he didn't move laterally, the opponent would definitely burst past his left!"
"That's right, Lin Quan's feints are too real, the action of heavy shoulders and the change of center of gravity are too deceptive, not to mention inexperienced young players, even experienced old players are easy to be deceived!"
"Defending Messi can't be deceived by his feints, and you must rely on strong prediction to be able to successfully defend one-on-one!"
Several people discussed it enthusiastically, but as they chatted, the topic shifted from Lin Quan's body to Messi.
Lin Quan's passing move just now was originally just a very ordinary way to pass people, and there were many people who knew how to do this.
But it can be used as well as Messi, so deceptive, there are only a handful in the entire football world!
In the eyes of the members of the coaching staff, Lin Quan's actions just now are very similar to Messi, at least with Messi's seventy or eighty percent of his skills.
"Hehe, Messi's influence in the minds of young players is really great, not to mention the youth team, in the entire La Masia youth team, there are a lot of people who imitate him to play football!"
"Yes, there are a lot of people who imitate Messi, not only in La Masia, but around the world."
"You don't know, recently many young players from many countries have joined us La Masia, and when they joined, they had almost the same title, such as Messi in Japan, Messi in South Korea, etc."
A coach in charge of youth training said with a smile:
"Messi in these countries, if he can reach Messi's strength of seventy or eighty, it is enough to become a football superstar!"
"Haha, how is that possible, there is only one Messi in this world, and no one can reach his height!"
Messi is a player from La Masia's academy, and many coaches present have taken him before and are very impressed with him.
Messi's unique way of playing is based on his extremely high talent.
Without Messi's kind of talent, it would be impossible for others to imitate success.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Quan's breakthrough will make the coaches' eyes shine.
There are many people who imitate Messi, and there are very few people who imitate it so similarly that they feel like Messi is playing on the field.
The game continued, and after Lin Quan successfully broke through Raphinha, he was already close to the edge of the big penalty area.
The main team's central defender Banjak did not dare to let him continue to get close to the penalty area, so he immediately chose to step forward, stuck on his inside, let him go down the line, and did not let him cut inside to shoot or pass.
There is currently only one attacking player in the box, but there are three defenders.
And the forward of the substitute team is only 175 tall, while several defenders who defend him are more than 1.8 meters tall.
If Lin Quan is really driven near the baseline, his pass may be difficult to form a threat, and it is more likely to be cleared by the defender.
He didn't want to waste this opportunity, so he immediately approached Banjak with the ball, observed the position of his nearby teammates, and made a move to prepare for the pass.
This move won the praise of several coaches on the sidelines:
"Lin is playing very smartly, he knows that his ability to get rid of it is not strong, he can't stick the ball too much, he has to pass the ball as soon as possible."
"Yes, the main team's midfielder is not far from him, and at this time he has already caught up from behind, and if he passes the ball a little late, he may be surrounded and lose the ball."
However, the substitute side seemed to be half a beat slower, there was no one nearby to pick up, and Banjak and another defender in the substitute were stuck in his lane of passing to the striker.
It seems that you can only pass back, but if you pass back, this offensive opportunity will be wasted! ”
"Returning the pass will waste the opportunity, if you don't return the pass, there is a high probability of losing the ball and being counterattacked by the opponent, relatively speaking, it is better to return the pass!"
"Hehe, why are you all so conservative, he just made a beautiful breakthrough, and he can do it again at this time!"
A young coach clearly thinks differently and is a little more aggressive than the conservative nature of other coaches.
As long as Lin manages to break through Banjak's defense, he will be able to create a two-on-two opportunity, and the remaining two defenders will definitely split up to intercept him.
In this way, the opponent's bag on the substitute striker is invalid.
At that point, he can either hit the ball himself or pass the ball to the striker, and there will be more options.
"So, what will he choose?"
The coaches were very curious about Lin Quan's choice!
Lin Quan chose to break through!
Although Banjak is a young player born in '95, he has a lot of experience in defending.
He didn't stand in a dead position, nor did he rush into a rush recklessly, but stood in position, kept a suitable distance, and slowly retreated, forcing the opponent to slow down.
This is not a long distance, and if the opponent wants to shoot, the defender can stretch out his foot to interfere or block when the opponent adjusts his pace.
In this way, there is a high probability that the ball will be blocked.
And if the attacking players get into his rhythm and are forced to slow down with him, the threat of the opposition will be greatly reduced.
Because there is no speed advantage, it is difficult to think about being in place.
What's more, the other players on the defensive side are still chasing back at full speed, and as soon as the offensive player slows down, he will be caught up immediately.
Therefore, Lin Quan couldn't fall into the trap of the other party, couldn't slow down, and couldn't stop.
Against a backward defense like Baniak, Messi has a trick in his arsenal that works very well, that is, smashing the ball and changing direction.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Banjak to raise his left foot and retreat, Lin Quan flicked the ball to the right.
This move reminded the coaches on the sidelines of the previous breakthrough, and they thought that Lin Quan was going to repeat his old tricks.
"Oops, mistake, this ball is over!"
Seeing that the football rolled out a bit far, the coaches were a little sad.
At this distance, the defender can cut the ball directly.
Sure enough, seeing that the opponent 'made a mistake', Banjak immediately stretched out his raised left foot and wanted to poke the ball.
But just when he thought he would be able to touch the ball first, one foot slammed into the ball at a faster speed and knocked it to the other side.
Banjak was dumbfounded, how did the other party do it?
Could it be that what was just now was not a mistake, but a trap for him?
After touching the ball twice with his right foot in a very short period of time, Lin Quan's left instep gently cut the football.
The ball came to Banjak's right foot, but at this time his left foot had not landed, and his right foot could not move at all, so he could only watch Lin Quan knock the ball again with the instep of his left foot, and after changing the direction of the ball, the ball rolled forward.
And Lin Quan also took advantage of the situation to wipe past Banyak, looked up and observed the position of the defenders, and then decisively kicked the goal.
The kick was so sudden that the two defenders at the back didn't have time to fill in and the goalkeeper didn't expect him to be able to shake off the angle and hit the goal.
And when he saw Lin Quan kicking the door, it was too late to fly to the rescue.
The ball flew into the top right corner of the goal at a modest speed, and bounced into the net at the angle between the crossbar and the post.
It's a theoretical dead end, and even if the goalkeeper is prepared, it's very difficult to save.
The score on the field came to 1:0, and the substitute team actually took the lead.
The players on the substitute team were stunned for a moment, and then flocked to Lin Quan like crazy.
Lin Quan was taken aback, and was about to run away when he saw that the situation was not good, but where could he escape!
He was pounced on by a group of substitutes, pressed underneath, and piled up a mountain of people.
And the players of the main team stood in place with their hands on their hips one by one, with complicated expressions.
They witnessed the whole process of Lin Quan breaking through from the touchline to breaking into the penalty area, and except for central midfielder Raphinha, who may have been easily passed by the enemy because of his carelessness, no other players made a mistake.
But the opponent scored an unreasonable goal, which made them unable to even complain about their teammates.
At this time, Enrique, who returned to the office to get the information, was studying which team to send Lin Quan to, and he had no idea what was happening on the field.
