Chapter 2: The head-hammer dribbling first takes effect, and the warm-up match against Finland (ask for a monthly ticket)

"Beep!"

In this warm-up game, Wilmots lined up a 4231 formation to make the final experiments for the upcoming game.

Thibaut Courtois was in goal, with Alderweireld and Vermaelen in a central defence, while Vertonghen and Seaman played at left and right wing-backs.

In the position of two midfielders, Witsel is paired with Nainggolan, one can play the ball and the other has defensive toughness.

In the position of the three forwards, from left to right, Hazard, De Bruyne, Chen Yufeng.

Romelu Lukaku is up front as a single arrow.

If anyone has followed this year's Premier League, they know what a terrifying and suffocating attacking line it is.

Almost every player is the top player in this position in the Premier League, basically the four Premier League kings in the same position.

If not the best, it's the top three.

And in this friendly match against Finland, the course of the game was a bit surprising.

As a team that did not enter the main round of the European Championship, Finland's strength is naturally far inferior to Belgium.

It stands to reason that Belgium should be given a big win in this game to give the team a shot in the arm.

However, it was because of the degree of coordination and run-in that Belgium's attack was intermittent, and even if there were continuous shots, it was still difficult to break through the Finnish bus defense.

"Bang!"

In the 50th minute of the game, Finland scored a goal with a header from a set-piece in front of the court to take the lead over Belgium.

"Ah......h

Near the coach's seat, Wilmots looked a little painful, and sat in place with his face covered, feeling a little powerless in his heart.

When an opponent scores in such a game, it really proves that their defence is an out-and-out patchwork defence, and there is no ability to resist a strong attack at all.

This is definitely a point that will be exploited by the enemy in the main match of the European Championship.

As for the strikers who have not scored in 50 minutes, this is even more incredible......

It's hard not to wonder about their form in the race.

"I still don't understand why we finished the qualifiers and helped Belgium get into the main draw, but someone stepped in and took our place."

On the bench, seeing the team scored, Mertens certainly had something to say and complained to Carrasco next to him.

Both of them are Belgian players on the right flank, overlapping with Chen Yufeng's position, and have been playing as a regular rotation before.

"Maybe he's playing too well at the club." Carrasco shook his head, also a little helpless, "If we can also create 35+ goals in a single season, maybe we can also sit in that position." ”

"It's different, Leicester City's players have scored more goals this season."

Mertens is still unconvinced, "You look at Vardy and Mahrez, these two previous nobodies, are also around 30+ performances. ”

'It's the style of this team, it's easy to score goals, and it shouldn't have anything to do with the players.

Carrasco shook his head and said no more, as if he didn't quite agree with Mertens's statement.

This view is indeed a bit extreme.

The Premier League's defensive players are not stupid, how can they possibly allow a player with little ability to play such statistics?

It can only be said that Chen Yufeng is still in the adaptation period, and he is still running in with his teammates.

"If he can't score in this game, then I will never obey him, and when I face the media, don't think about how good I will be." Mertens continued, apparently very dissatisfied.

On the field, Chen Yufeng, who saw the team being scored, spread his hands slightly towards Hazard on the other side.

Just now, Hazard was a little too lonely, and his shot from a small angle was held by the goalkeeper and launched a quick counterattack.

He also felt a little powerless.

So far in the game, everyone has too few opportunities to catch the ball and can't play at their true level.

Players on the offensive line often rush to get the ball when they receive it, resulting in a lot of unnecessary attempts at goal.

The synergy is not strong, so even if the combination of Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, etc. is put together, it will not have a good offensive effect.

Occasionally, you may score goals because of your ability, but you are not consistent enough.

'Let's play differently, Eden Hazard, there's a chance to smash a cross into the box, I'm with Romelu Lukaku.'

Chen Yufeng shouted at Hazard, "Trust us." ”

At the other end, Hazard waved his hand towards Chen Yufeng, and began to think in his heart.

Chen Yufeng has indeed shown a good level of heading in training in the past few days.

But when he was at Leicester City, he scored a header if he remembered correctly, right?

Can this level really be believed?

"Forget it, try."

Eden Hazard has made the decision to find Chen Yufeng and Lukaku in the cross.

Kevin De Bruyne also heard the conversation between the two and was ready to get a chance to play the ball into the box later.

The game soon resumed, and Belgium again organised the attack.

Finland, on the other hand, did not hesitate to pull back its line and put up a bus to defend.

In the face of this kind of defense, Chen Yufeng's dribbling ability showed too little space, so he didn't use it for the time being.

As the minutes ticked by, Belgium gradually pressed the whole line, still hoping to end the warm-up match with a victory.

Seventy-fourth minute.

Belgium set up an attack on the left flank, and Eden Hazard received a transfer from Kevin De Bruyne and rushed towards the Finnish full-back.

"Bang!"

He was quick at his feet, swung his body widely, and instantly broke through and crossed towards the middle.

A high-pitched cross headed for the middle and soon flew over Lukaku's head and towards the back post.

Seeing this scene, in fact, many Belgian players have no hope.

They stood on the second spot outside the box and were ready to fight for the second spot of the football, just as if it was an ordinary attempt.

But it was in such an ordinary cross that Chen Yufeng, who was still wearing the No. 66 jersey, suddenly appeared at the back of the penalty area.

In the case of the Finnish defender taking the lead, Chen Yufeng came from behind, completed the air in an instant, and then used his waist and abdomen to smash towards the football.

He did these movements very comfortably, as if he were really a centre-forward who was constantly moving in the box, and everything seemed to fall into place.

"Bang!!"

Chen then completed an unstoppable header and flicked the ball into the far corner of the goal in the air.

The ball was so fast and angled that the Finnish goalkeeper surrendered.

"Huh!" A sound of touching the net sounded, and Chen Yufeng also fell to the ground.

This is a perfect header to the top, from the beginning of the landing point prediction, to the later header attack, everything seems to be just right, extremely high quality!

"Walter?"

Lukaku's face suddenly had some question marks, he hugged his head with both hands, and then ran to Chen Yufeng, "You really have the ability to score goals with a header?" ”

"I thought you were just the first two without confrontation, hahaha."

Lukaku was surprised and envious, and directly lifted Chen Yufeng up.

As a fulcrum centre-forward, his header skills are average at this stage, with a low success rate for headers.

"You think I'm a training player, huh?" Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows and replied.

At this time, Hazard and the others also ran over, and their eyes were a little surprised.

This kind of header, not to mention Lukaku, Hazard and De Bruyne will definitely be difficult to play.

From the degree of completion of the action and the final strength, neither of them can complete it.

"I really believe you, maybe we should have played like this a long time ago, and I can cross with confidence."

Hazard hugged Chen Yufeng and sighed again at Chen Yufeng's magic, "After seeing your volley, this time I saw your header again, it's incredible." ”

In fact, Hazard has always been a very confident player and feels that he is very good in all aspects.

He certainly didn't feel the slightest convincing to the others, except for basic respect.

Now, after suffering from Chen Yufeng's impact one after another, Hazard is a little convinced.

De Bruyne didn't say anything, and turned around and walked away with Chen Yufeng after high-fives.

He has always been such a person, and being able to run over already shows his recognition.

"Beep!"

The game then resumed, and after Belgium had equalised, the players pressed hard again to try to quickly overtake the lead.

Finland was clearly a little flustered after being scored.

After receiving the ball in the middle circle, the midfielder hesitated to deal with it and was stabbed away by De Bruyne, who came up next.

The ball was cut off as soon as it kicked off!

"Bang!"

Seeing De Bruyne, who was in a large gap on the right side, he directly kicked the right straight plug and found Chen Yufeng who was inserted forward.

This time the Finnish team was not prepared and the defensive line was quite disorganized.

After Chen Yufeng noticed this scene, he immediately began to break through.

He wants to try his hand at the full-backs of these European teams and come to the national team with a realistic level of defensive focus.

After coming to a suitable distance, Chen Yufeng's center of gravity instantly decreased, his right shoulder sank, his body followed to the right, and his footsteps also stepped to the right.

He did it very quickly and realistically, and it immediately caused the Finnish defenders to lose their balance in the retreat.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yufeng repeated his old trick and made a change of direction to the left again.

"Bang!"

After seeing that the Finnish defender was at the end of his intensity, he quickly slid his right foot to the right to complete the final change of direction.

As Chen Yufeng swept into the penalty area, the Finnish defender also fell to the ground in embarrassment, becoming a background board that highlighted the power of Chen Yufeng's dribbling.

Wilmots, who was on the sidelines, suddenly stood up from his seat, and a few gleams appeared in his eyes.

Mertens also shut up at the moment and looked into the box.

Chen Yufeng did not stop his steps, and after passing the first one, he found that the timing of the pass was not good, and immediately started the second dribble.

He still used the pendulum just now, and his body looked very calm, without a trace of fear of being stolen by his opponent.

In this case, the defenders, who themselves appear to be passive in the penalty area, can't help but make a final push after all.

Chen Yufeng had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and his left foot flicked to the outside to shake the angle of the shot for himself.

"Bang!!"

The outside instep shot reappeared, and a coquettish curling ball flew into the far corner of the Finnish goal.

The sound of touching the net that followed did not surprise anyone, it was like a grand dance drama performance, and the perfect ending that should have appeared in the end.
