Chapter 65 Instead of studying archery, study the art of war instead!
The African Cup of Nations starts on January 10th and ends on January 31st.
The African national teams played by Aubameyang, Ceju and Gervinho failed to reach the finals, so they returned early.
On January 31, Lille faced Lens at home.
The three people who had returned from the African Cup were sitting in the locker room and glanced at Hao Qiang from time to time.
During the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday evening, Rudy Garcia announced the starting lineup, arranged tactics and other operations, all three of them were in a state of confusion.
Firstly, his condition needed to be adjusted after returning from Africa. Secondly, seeing Hao Qiang's position as a midfielder on the tactical board, the three of them couldn't accept it for a while.
Until today when the game was about to start, the three of them still felt it was too crazy!
What happened to the team during their time away from the team?
The man who ranked first in the scorer list actually left the striker to play as an attacking midfielder?
Is Lille's offensive firepower so luxurious?
There is no room for a man who averages one goal per game in the front line?
When the game started, Hao Qiang calmly organized the attack from the attacking midfielder position.
Cheju, who started at the back line, still looked incredulously from a distance.
Gervinho will start as soon as he returns. When actively running on the right side of the frontcourt to respond, he naturally has to pay more attention to the movements of the attacking midfielder.
But every time he sees Hao Qiang, he is a little distracted and wants to applaud him!
This Chinese forward, oh, no, the Chinese players are simply amazing!
Lille fans are already used to it.
I even think Hao Qiang is more reliable than Cabaye in playing attacking midfielder!
Lens is fighting for relegation and is undoubtedly very conservative when facing the leaders as a guest.
Hao Qiang organized the attack in the frontcourt in the first 20 minutes.
The cannonballs delivered to the front trident are evenly covered by rain and dew, and the shooting threat is relatively average.
But at least it can produce continuous output.
Melo and Gervinho, who started the game today, were obviously in very bad shape.
After 20 minutes of the game, Hao Qiang decisively used Fabregas' card.
The Lens defense generals were quite helpless as they watched Hao Qiang organize the attack.
Generally speaking, attacking midfielders are flexible and technical players.
Hao Qiang's tall and powerful body stood at the front waist position, as steady as an old dog!
A normal defense simply cannot win the ball.
Because of Hao Qiang's confrontational ability, he can absolutely protect the ball when facing a non-monstrous midfielder.
Even if he cannot pass the ball forward, he can still protect the ball, turn around, and pass the ball smoothly to his teammates in safe positions.
Hao Qiang, who is now playing as an attacking midfielder, is calm and unhurried, neither impatient nor impatient.
If Lens doesn't press out, it will be difficult for one or two people to steal the ball from him.
Hao Qiang did not try to take the initiative to break through, and most of the time he completed the response by running through the open area.
A midfielder who can break out and pass is definitely top-notch.
Hao Qiang is self-aware, but he has not yet reached that level.
So do the most basic work.
Stand still, hold the ball, and pass the ball well!
As the game approached 25 minutes, Hao Qiang began to pass the ball to speed up the game.
Frequently delivers threatening balls to the right and center.
Coupled with Debuchy assisting from the right, Gervinho and Melo got opportunities one after another, but they squandered them all unceremoniously.
When Gervinho missed one and a half, Hazard couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
During the retreat, he opened his hands to Hao Qiang and showed an uncomfortable expression.
It's like she has become the unpopular little daughter-in-law of a yellow-faced woman.
In the past, he would have been angry even if he didn't curse.
But now I was afraid that Hao Qiang had a problem with him again and deliberately refused to pass the ball to him.
Hao Qiang saw Azar's reaction and made a downward gesture to him with a calm expression.
Let him calm down for a while.
Azar could only suppress his anxiety.
After all, Hao Qiang didn't treat him coldly.
At least I got a response.
I don’t know what the elder brother is thinking.
Gervinho went to the battlefield without rest after returning from the African Cup. His poor condition was like pooping his crotch, and the smell could be smelled from a distance.
Melo became a complete substitute. He finally got a chance to start, so he naturally worked hard.
It's a pity that I used too much force. I am positive, but it is ineffective.
Lille fans are also suspicious.
"Why does Hao Qiang always create opportunities for Gervinho and Melo? They can't do it today!"
"Well, the people from Gervinho are back from the African Cup of Nations, and the soul is probably still on the way."
"You should pass more passes to Hazard. Are they having conflicts again?"
In the 36th minute of the game, Lens subconsciously strengthened its control over Melo and Gervinho, almost maxing out the defensive intensity.
Debuchy did not have a good passing opportunity to the striker on the right side of the frontcourt.
So he passed the ball across the middle.
Hao Qiang received the ball and then turned around and dribbled towards the center. Before the defensive player came up to block the ball, he decisively sent a through ball to the ground.
The football rolled towards the left rib area of the penalty area.
The Lens defense line immediately moved that way.
But it's obvious that the space there is much larger than before.
Hao Qiang watched intently as Hazard cut inside, cut across to get rid of the defender who rushed to block him, and then shot the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!
The Moruwa Stadium instantly erupted into an earth-shattering noise.
Lille fans were overjoyed.
"Look! We still have to rely on Azar!"
"Hao Qiang's kick is like a scalpel!"
"Hey, do you think Hao Qiang did it on purpose?"
"If it was premeditated, then Hao Qiang's attacking midfielder awareness is already top-notch!"
Azar rushed to skate and kneel to celebrate. Hao Qiang arrived shortly afterwards. Azar took the initiative to hug Hao Qiang and asked Hao Qiang with a smile: "You deliberately feinted to the right, right? How did you think of it?"
Hao Qiang couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Then I want to tell you about our China's thirty-six strategies, hiding the truth from the enemy and crossing the sea, encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, secretly trapping Chencang, diverting the tiger away from the mountain, playing hard to catch..."
Azar was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
When I finally looked at Hao Qiang, I couldn't help but feel admiration in his eyes.
did you see it?
The man who is the top scorer in French Ligue 1 does not study archery, but studies the art of war!
Hao Qiang has carried forward the spirit of doing what he does and loving what he does.
Cabaye and Balmont will not be able to come back for a while.
It is almost certain that he will play as a midfielder.
So he spent his free time watching a lot of game videos of top midfielders.
Combined with Bonpal's usual suggestions for him to play as an attacking midfielder.
He found that this organization's front midfielder had a lot of knowledge.
It has similarities with the art of war passed down from ancient China.
Anyway, we should try our best to surprise the opponent.
The whole world knows that Hazard is the biggest threat in Lille's forward line now.
If Melo and Gervinho are not allowed to make some noise and just beat Hazard dryly, it will obviously not have very good results.
Lille leads Lens 1:0.
Rudy Garcia signaled to the team after the team took the lead to strengthen control of the scene.
Dumont and Mavuba have been working together for some time and are getting better.
Even if Lens wanted to counterattack, they couldn't beat Lille's midfield.
These three midfielders are typically dark and tough!
Mavuba is in charge of black, Hao Qiang and Dumont are in charge of hard!
In the second half of the game, Lille's fast break opportunities gradually became better than in the first half.
However, Melo and Gervinho's condition declined, and Hazard performed well alone, but failed to score Lens' goal again.
Fortunately, the team's defense is solid.
Hao Qiang didn't take the initiative to set the pace.
The front trident, with two people as the handles, is still not strong enough just relying on the sharpness of Hazard alone.
Hao Qiang controlled the tempo. After slowing down the tempo, although the offensive efficiency further declined.
But at least Lens didn't threaten.
It can even keep Lens from getting past halftime for a long time.
When the game ended, Lille fans cheered.
The team won the victory without any blood.
Lille continues to lead the standings strongly.
In an interview with Six Golden Flowers after the game, Hao Qiang briefly responded to Lille's decision not to let him play in the Four Nations Invitational Tournament.
Domestic public opinion is quite divided on this matter.
Some fans believe that Hao Qiang should go to the national team as soon as possible to carry the banner.
However, the vast majority of fans believe that the time for the national team to recruit Hao Qiang is inappropriate.
It will affect Hao Qiang's performance in Lille.
Hao Qiang is not completely in charge of this matter.
During the competition period, not during FIFA match days, the club has the right to refuse call-up to the national team.
Lille did just that.
Are you kidding me?
Let Hao Qiang play in the national team's warm-up match?
You wouldn't do this even if your brain was kicked by a donkey.
Reject directly.
Hao Qiang responded to this matter in a low-key manner.
"The club has resolved this matter with the Football Association, so my current schedule is to follow Lille in Ligue 1 and the next Europa League."
Hao Qiang certainly couldn't say openly: I don't want to play in the Four Nations Invitational Tournament.
Six Golden Flowers also understands very well. At the same time, they will definitely say more good things for Hao Qiang in the report, hoping that domestic fans will understand and support his situation.
