At 2 pm on July 10, the final championship and runner-up competition started at the 80,000-person stadium, with the Genbao Football Youth Team playing against the Portuguese Youth Team.

Before the game, Figo sent him a WeChat message: "I have prepared a big gift for you. I hope you like it!"

Li Zhao smiled slightly and roughly guessed what he meant, so he didn't take it to heart. However, when he actually entered the competition and saw the big gift, he couldn't be happy anymore.

Li Zhao found that he was really careless this time. In the first half, except for the first two organized attacks, which were relatively brilliant, he seemed to have completely disappeared and made no further achievements. Without his organization, the Genbao team's

The offense also became a mess. Although Wang Ziyi struggled to hold on to the backcourt, he was still scored two goals by his opponent in the 22nd and 34th minutes. The first goal conceded was by Gonzalo Gu, a winger of the Portuguese team.

Des's world-famous goal was undisputed. The second goal conceded was entirely the goalkeeper's error. It was a ball that seemed to be passed and shot from the wing by Gonzalo Guedes. It was no longer there.

At the goal angle, the goalkeeper showed his hand at this moment, and the ball slipped out of the goalkeeper's armpit and went into the goal.

The main reason for Li Zhao's mediocre performance in the first half was the gift Figo prepared for him. His cousin Leonard was also a player who guarded Li Zhao full-time. Unlike when facing the Kashima Antlers' marking,

That time the opponent's hasty defense did not have much impact on Li Zhao, but this time Leonard stuck to him like brown sugar, making it impossible for him to catch the ball comfortably. Although he was resentful, he had to admire him at the same time.

Good move from Figo.

"Leonard, don't you think it's a bit of a waste of talent that you don't organize the offense, but instead come to mark people?" Seeing that Leonard was restraining him, Li Zhao couldn't help complaining to him.

"It's okay. This is the coach's arrangement. I just implemented it seriously. Besides, it's not bad to do it if it's rare. In terms of how well I know you, there is no one else who is more suitable than me." Leonard said. His pace and physical fitness were basically the same.

He can keep up with Li Zhao and is relatively familiar with Li Zhao. If he changes to another person, he may not be able to achieve very good results. Although an excellent midfielder is sacrificed for this, he can still output enough firepower in other positions. On the other hand, he lacks

Li Zhao's Genbao team has a great influence. From this point of view, this exchange is really worth it.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-2 behind. Fan Zhiyi replaced the No. 1 goalkeeper who was in poor condition with Dyna, and finally managed to ensure that the goal was no longer missed, but the scene was still very ugly.

"Master, do you still want to win this game?" When Li Zhao returned to the players' tunnel, Xiao Mi's voice suddenly came.

"Of course, do you have any ideas or suggestions?" Li Zhao was communicating with Xiaomi in his mind.

Xiaomi: "Then I think not only you, but also your team must make certain adjustments. Of course, this suggestion is a bit bold. I don't know if your coach Fan has the courage."

Li Zhao: "Let's talk about it. If possible, I will try my best to persuade him."

Xiaomi: "The specifics are like this..."

Back in the lounge, Li Zhao casually checked his phone and found a WeChat message from Figo. He clicked on it: "I received the gift. I think you should be very satisfied, so you still have confidence in the second half."

?"

Li Zhao thought for a while and replied: "Yes, I will come back in the second half and lead the team to keep the trophy."

The other party was silent for a while and replied: "Courage is commendable, but it is very difficult to get back! I want to ask you are you serious?"

Li Zhao: "Of course!"

Figo: "How about we make a bet?"

Li Zhao: "What bet?"

Figo: "If you lose, terminate your relationship with your current team and go to Portugal with me. I can help with the relevant procedures and I will pay the liquidated damages."

Li Zhao: "What if you lose?"

Figo: "Then I will stay and be your personal skills coach for two months."

Li Zhao: "Okay, deal!"

Figo: "Wait a minute, don't you think about it seriously? After all, such a thing has a huge impact."

Li Zhao: "If I shrink in order to consider the consequences, maybe the current situation of some people in our national team may be a reflection of my future. If so, why don't I try to fight while I'm young? There is a saying that if you don't fight, you won't win.

It’s exciting, and who knows what the outcome will be until the last moment. If I lose, it can only be attributed to fate, but giving up easily is definitely not my style.”

Figo: "Such conditions are not fair to you. As long as your team can get two goals back in the second half, you will win!"

Li Zhao did not insist anymore and agreed.

Just as Li Zhao put down his mobile phone, Fan Zhiyi came in. He summarized the first half of the game and mobilized everyone to brainstorm. Li Zhao was the last one. No one before him could come up with a good solution.

At the moment of embarrassment, Li Zhao raised his head and said, "Coach, do you still want to win this game?"

"Of course I want to, I can only dream about it. But I can only think about it. I think it is unlikely that we will win today with our current strength, but we should still be able to maintain the current score. Of course, such a result will definitely be

Not satisfied, I hope everyone can continue their efforts in the second half and try to get a goal back without letting the opponent expand the score again, so at least we have a good explanation." Fan Zhiyi said, obviously he

There is no confidence either.

"If this is the result you want, just pretend I didn't say anything!" Li Zhao looked very disappointed.

"Oh, no! What do you mean?" Fan Zhiyi finally came to his senses.

"What I mean is that if we want to win, our current style of play will definitely not work. We need to drastically adjust our tactics. Of course, the results will be worse after such adjustments, but there is still a possibility of winning. If we don't even have the idea of ​​winning, then I

There is really no other way." Li Zhaodao.

"Tell me about the specific adjustment method!" Fan Zhiyi became interested.

Li Zhao: "Now that we focus on defense, although there may be a chance to steal one or two goals, it depends on the opponent making mistakes, but in the end it will be a dead end. The opponent's technical and tactical level is still better than us in all other aspects.

It seems unwise to press forward and attack them, but it is also our only way at present. The specific implementation method is to ensure a certain backcourt defense while strengthening the frontcourt forces. The midfielder can quickly shift or even give up directly and fight for the midfielder.

We are not their opponent. In terms of personnel adjustments, I hope Wang Ziyi can participate in the frontcourt..."

When he said this, he was interrupted by Fan Zhiyi: "Your style of play is a typical British style, but Wang Ziyi is the focus of the defense. If he runs the whole court, who will leave the defense to him?"

Li Zhao: "First of all, I think Wang Ziyi's talent should not be above defense. He is not bad at offense. I think it might be better if he is used as a center. As for the defense you mentioned, I think it is okay.

Let Balta have a try, he should be on the substitute list, right?"

Fan Zhiyi: "He is indeed on the list, but his position is center."

Li Zhao: "It doesn't matter. Positions can be changed. No one can guarantee that he will play in one position for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter what position he was in before. What matters is whether he is suitable for the new position. I have read his information and he is more

He had played as a defender a long time ago, and he played well. It was only later that he was adjusted to the center position. However, because his feet were not flexible enough, he was not very comfortable in this position, so I tried to switch positions between him and Wang Ziyi.

The idea to try.”

Fan Zhiyi said with a smile: "You are so good, how about you become the head coach?"

Hearing this, Li Zhao felt really guilty. He knew that he was a bit frustrated, so he said: "Coach Fan, please don't bury me. I'm just giving my opinion. How could I do this?"

Fan Zhiyi just felt that he had been robbed of the limelight before. When he saw Li Zhao lowering his posture, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, I'm just kidding you. I will consider your suggestion, but I don't plan to adjust the current situation for the time being.
