It must be said that everyone present, including Zhao Zhen, is very optimistic about this first warm-up match. The reason is also very simple. As Lu Yao's friends, Chen Chen and Pan Wen need not say much about the importance they attach to this match.
, Moreover, the strength of these two teams is also recognized as strong.
Especially for Pan Wen's Fan Lou team, the entire team can be represented by a clear hierarchy. The players in each position are the most suitable. When Pan Wen selected players, he had already considered what kind of players he needed for different positions.
Went in.
As for the grassroots team, the reason why it attracts attention is mainly because of Lu Yao. After all, the leader of this grassroots team, that is, the captain Chen Chen, in terms of identity, he is just an ordinary citizen from the outer city.
If Lu Yao hadn't appreciated him, how could he have become the leader of this grassroots team.
Not only Chen Chen, but the entire grassroots team members are also ordinary people from the outer city, which makes them the most special existence among these eight teams.
Almost everyone, because of Lu Yao, regarded the grassroots team as Lu Yao's team. However, because of the identities of Chen Chen and others, everyone did not take the grassroots team seriously. Because in their eyes
, although this project is called New Cuju, in their view, just like before, this project is more about things that only rich people can play, and these rural people who Chen Chen found cannot understand it at all.
It makes sense, not to mention that their first official match opponent was the Huangtian team led by Wang Da.
Having said that, since Chen Chen is from Lu Yao, he will naturally attach great importance to this game, so everyone thinks it is necessary to watch the warm-up match between the grassroots team and the Fanlou team. On the one hand,
, before the official game, they can see what the actual game will be like and what their team needs to pay attention to, and they can also understand the strength of the team participating in the warm-up match. On the other hand, they also want to see Chen Chen, who is both a coach and a
How much does the captain weigh who is about to leave the field to play football?
However, what no one expected was that Chen Chen gave everyone a bombshell in today's warm-up match.
That is, he is not a starting player, but a substitute, standing on the sidelines and watching the game.
This move surprised all the spectators present, and even Lu Yao felt a little surprised.
However, Lu Yao quickly thought about it and felt that this was an unexpected matter, but it was something that was being sorted out.
Based on Chen Chen's devotion to this game, he must know the difference between his grassroots team and the Fanlou team, that is, he has to participate in this game both as a coach and as a player. Regardless of
No matter what kind of game it is, the biggest difference between coaches and players is the issue of vision. When you are a player, you will give up thinking about everything else and focus your main energy and attention on the present.
During the game, before the whistle blows at the end of the game, you will basically focus all your attention on the field. At this time, it is decided that what you can see is limited, and you cannot see it from a macro perspective.
Think about the trend of the game, or in other words, make the most correct judgment about your team.
As for the coach, it is just the opposite in this respect. He does not need to go out to participate in the game in person. Although he cannot do anything on the field, he has an overall view that all players cannot have and can analyze the game in a macroscopic way.
It is the coach's advantage to make the wisest judgment based on the trend of the situation.
Take the Fan Lou team as an example. Pan Wen's physical fitness is definitely not suitable for being an athlete and playing games, but as a coach, he can clearly see the performance of each member of the Fan Lou team on the field, or the opponent team.
Using an overall tactic, he can make timely adjustments to the current situation of the Fan Lou team. On this point alone, if Chen Chen leaves the game, he will never be able to do it.
Therefore, Lu Yao felt that Chen Chen must have thought about this before deciding that he should stand on the sidelines and watch the game for a while. After analyzing the trend of the game for a while, he decided whether to play or not. Chen Chen's behavior
This behavior actually reminded Lu Yao of the classic cartoon he watched as a child, Slam Dunk.
Among them, Kenji Fujima of the Shoyang team holds the position of player and coach. The Shoyang basketball team also achieved good results every year under his leadership. Of course, it later lost to a team with the aura of the protagonist.
, let’s not mention this for now.
However, if Chen Chen adopts this strategy, although there are some advantages, such as being able to maximize Chen Chen's ability as a coach, but just like in the cartoon, when this soul figure has no end and other
When players play together, the style and level displayed by the entire team are completely different.
As an instructor, Zhe Kexing knows this very well. In fact, yesterday, Zhe Kexing briefly chatted with Chen Chen about the warm-up match. Chen Chen said that he was thinking about whether to test it in the warm-up match.
Some new tactics, Zhe Kexing encouraged Chen Chen's idea at that time. However, Zhe Kexing never thought that Chen Chen's so-called new play was based on the fact that he did not have to leave the game.
on the basis of.
Zhe Kexing, who had watched the grassroots team training all the way, knew that the grassroots team without Chen Chen was indeed not very strong. I remember that during the training one day before, Chen Chen did not participate in the training because he went to Lu Yao's place. That day, the grassroots team's
The state can be said to be the worst since the past ten days of training.
In fact, all the tactics of the grassroots team are mostly designed around the forward Chen Chen. In the defensive counterattack, Chen Chen's skills and speed are used to score goals. But now Chen Chen is not playing, and
Zhe Kexing's analysis revealed that Chen Chen's decision not to play must have been made just yesterday, otherwise he would have done tactical training in this area during the previous training. Since it is a strategy that has just been studied, then for
Grassroots teams will not fail to consider the consequences and impact of Chen Chen not playing. However, can they really accept that the soul of their team is not on the court? What kind of team will they become? Zhe Kexing
Don't know either.
However, although the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, Lu Yao can understand Chen Chen's intention of doing this after a little thought. You know, although even Emperor Zhao Zhen was watching this game from the sidelines, but said
After all, this game is just a warm-up match. No matter whether you win or lose, it will not affect the subsequent official game. After all, except for insiders, there is no audience in this game.
If this game is used for training, it can be said to be the best opportunity. Chen Chen's focus in doing this should be to focus on the official game against the Huangtian team. He wants to see what will happen if he doesn't
How much strength can the team exert when on the field? Of course, this is also the first time for me, as a coach, to guide the team from the sidelines. Everything needs to be tested. Once it comes to the official game
At that time, no one dared to try new tactics, because the official game was a one-way ticket. Once you failed and lost the game, there would be no future. Whether this team would exist in the future was a question. Chen Chen knew this very well.
What's more, their opponent in the official game is the Royal Tiantian team. Whether it is internal pressure or external pressure, it is full of pressure. Therefore, it is better to use this warm-up match to practice tactics.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
However, even so, Lu Yao still admired Chen Chen's decision-making. If it were him, he might have worries because Zhao Zhen came to watch the game. You know, the emperor personally watched the game from the sidelines. If it was because he did not play, it would cause
If the grassroots team collapses quickly and the game doesn't look good, I don't know if the emperor will blame it, but the consequences will be more serious than losing in the official game.
However, Chen Chen was already standing on the sidelines. It seemed that he was determined not to appear on the court in the first place. Lu Yao then looked at the emperor Zhao Zhen, wanting to see how he felt about Chen Chen's move.
What was the reaction like?
Originally thought that Zhao Zhen would be angry at Chen Chen's move, but Lu Yao saw that after Zhao Zhen saw Chen Chen walking directly to the sidelines, after experiencing a brief surprise, Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled,
Obviously he was very interested in Chen Chen's move.
I saw Zhao Zhen saying to Han Yonghe and Cao Yi who looked surprised next to them: "Did you two know before that Chen Chen would not be on the court?"
Although Han Yonghe and Cao Yi did not pay as much attention to this competition as their sons, they had followed most of the more than ten days of training, and they had also spent a few days to watch the top four teams in the top half.
The training situation of the team. In their impression, there has never been a situation where Chen Chen did not play in the game but worked as a coach. I wonder if it was because of the coaching script that Lu Yao later gave Chen Chen.
made such a decision?
Han Yonghe shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it before, maybe this is the trump card of the grassroots team?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yi on the side immediately raised objections and said: "I don't think so. How can a team put its core players on the sidelines and call this style of play a trump card?"
Han Yonghe was sure that Cao Yi would be against him, and then the two of them started a debate on this issue, and they got into a heated argument.
Zhao Zhen smiled and signaled the two to stop arguing. Then he told Fan Zhongyan, who was watching the game for the first time, about the previous training situation and personnel structure of the grassroots team, and then asked Fan Zhongyan what he thought.
Fan Zhongyan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, in Wei Chen's opinion, the reason why Chen Chen did not play was because he wanted to do a test. After all, this is just a warm-up match. The highlight must be the official match, and Chen Chen's test is mainly
It’s also to fight against His Majesty’s Emperor’s Team.”
"Oh? That's it."
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen asked Fan Zhongyan carefully about his thoughts. Lu Yao did not expect that what Fan Zhongyan said was exactly what he had thought of before. It seemed that this person was really powerful and could guess Chen Chen's thoughts in an instant.
Of course, apart from Lu Yao, Zhao Zhen and others, the other team leaders watching the game from the sidelines were also confused.
Among them, Zhang Maocai was smart and felt that he had clearly seen the meaning of Chen Chen's move, that is, he, like himself, had given up on this Cuju competition. After all, the grassroots team was going to face the Huangtian team in the official competition, and
, basically no one thought that the grassroots team would win this battle. If so, winning or losing this warm-up match would be irrelevant, so Chen Chen simply chose to mess around. Lu Yao should have already paid his wages anyway, so it might as well be
It would be nice to simply watch these two games from the sidelines. This is an extremely superficial thought in Zhang Maocai's mind.
However, Yang Tao and Han Wenyuan had other thoughts of their own. These two people still recognized Chen Chen's ability as a leader and captain, so they were very confused that he was not playing now. Finally,
The two of them reached an agreement, that is, Chen Chen was recuperating his energy. He did not want to consume too much energy in this game, and he did not want to expose more tactics to his opponent Huangtian Team.
, so he did not choose to play. In this way, the Huangtian team would not know what kind of tactics his team would use when he played. On the one hand, he was resting and adjusting his state. On the other hand, it was also
I don't want to reveal too much to the Emperor's Team.
However, Wang Da and Wang Yi of the Huangtian team don’t think so. After all, the two teams have been training at the same time for more than ten days. In terms of understanding, Wang Da’s understanding of the grassroots team is definitely no worse than Zhe Kexing’s.
, he knew very clearly that the absolute core of this grassroots team was Chen Chen, and today Chen Chen did not choose to play in the warm-up match. The reason for this was not clear to Wang Da.
As the coach of the Huangtian team, Wang Yi felt that maybe Chen Chen believed that his role as a coach was more important than his next game, so Chen Chen chose to watch the game from the sidelines, but no matter what, both of them knew
, the opponent of his Huangtian team in the first round is the grassroots team on the court. Instead of racking his brains to think about why Chen Chen is standing on the sidelines watching the game, it is better to focus on the game that is about to start and learn more about the grassroots team.
The team's performance in this game is the more important thing.
Finally, there is Cao You.
As a man favored by Lu Yao, Cao You's intelligence was extraordinary. When he saw Chen Chen walking to the sidelines without playing, he had already guessed that Chen Chen did this on purpose just to see what he was doing.
How much strength can the team exert when he does not play? You know, Chen Chen wears many hats, captain, coach, leader. Under such multiple pressures, he has to go off to play, and he is highly nervous.
Under such circumstances, if he still wants to compete at his full strength in the arena, Chen Chen's physical strength will definitely not last for an hour. In other words, it is impossible for him to maintain a high level throughout the game under such pressure.
level of performance.
If you know this is the case, you might as well make some concessions yourself, first watch the situation on the court as a coach, and wait until the game gets heated, then go on the court yourself to improve the strength of the entire team. This can often lead to good results.
effect.
This is Cao You's understanding of Chen Chen's move.
In fact, no matter what these people think of Chen Chen's thoughts, Chen Chen is already determined to stand on the sidelines and do his job as a coach first.
In comparison, the one who was most surprised at this moment was Pan Wen who was standing not far from Chen Chen.
He is the most surprised and panicked person now. As the leader and coach of the Fanlou team, last night, Pan Wen and his team members conducted a series of analyzes on the grassroots team. At that time, Pan Wen felt that the grassroots team
The team will definitely make tactical arrangements around Chen Chen, combined with their defensive and counterattack style, so Pan Wen actually designed many strategies to limit Chen Chen's performance. He originally wanted to see the effect after the game starts today, but who knows,
Chen Chen didn't even play at all. Didn't his efforts last night go in vain? However, Pan Wen was not discouraged. Everyone knew that the core of the grassroots team was Chen Chen, and instead of playing the game, he became a coach.
Player, this is equivalent to breaking an arm for a grassroots team. If Chen Chen does not play, no matter how hard he coaches other players, their strength will definitely decline.
However, this did not make Pan Wen happy. As a good friend of Chen Chen, Pan Wen looked at him and was not sure what the meaning of Chen Chen's move was.
Time waits for no one. Su Shi, Su Che and Zhe Kexing didn't chat for a few words, and then they saw Zhan Zhao walking to the center of the stadium. The two teams were already ready for everything. The game was about to start.
.
The small episode of Chen Chen appearing on the sidelines finally passed, and then Su Shi and Su Che began to talk about the formation configuration of the two teams.
Although Chen Chen's team did not play, the team's playing style did not change much. From the position distribution, it can be seen that the grassroots team's playing style is still regarded as a defensive counterattack tactic, but in
The front line is missing a powerful attacker like Chen Chen.
As for Pan Wen's Fanlou team, there hasn't been much change. Several of their midfielders have always been the core of the team.
"Speaking of which, this is also the first time I've seen Cuju."
"That's right. In the past, Cuju was only popular among the princes and nobles. The purpose of this competition is to let more people know about this new Cuju."
"This is natural, and this can be seen through the membership of the grassroots team. You must know that the grassroots team, from the leader to all the members, are ordinary people, no different from you and me."
"Indeed, the Fanlou team is not a member of the officialdom. The Pan family is very famous as a big businessman in Bianliang. I don't know how they will perform on the field."
Su Shi and Su Che were chatting without a word, and Lu Yao stopped in his ear. Don't tell me, it really seemed like that. Although it is inevitable to be nervous when giving a commentary for the first time, compared with modern commentary, it is also a bit different.
There is a big gap, but as the first commentators, these two performed well, completely exceeding Lu Yao's expectations.
Of course, Zhao Zhen, who was listening on the sidelines, was also very fascinated. Obviously, he also felt that Su Shi and Su Che were right.
Fan Zhongyan frowned at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder who these commentators are?"
Fan Zhongyan returned to Beijing this time, and he had just learned about the Cuju competition, so he was not completely familiar with the relevant personnel of the competition, so Zhao Zhen introduced him to him, first the trio of Bao Zheng as the referee team, and then,
They are the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che.
"Su Shi, is that Su Dongpo? I often hear the names of these two brothers in this city." Fan Zhongyan was shocked when he heard that the commentator turned out to be Su Dongpo.
Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, he is that great talent. Not long ago, the two brothers and Lu Yao took the imperial examination in the same period."
Fan Zhongyan was thoughtful and said: "I see. This Mr. Xiao Lu is really powerful. With such a great talent, he must be a person of high integrity and integrity. Mr. Xiao Lu can actually find the two of them as commentators. It seems that Xiao Lu
Your Excellency is indeed very capable."
"That's true. I had the same reaction as you when I heard the two of them came to give commentary. Now it seems that Lu Yao has really found the right person."
Fan Zhongyan looked at Lu Yao and smiled. He really didn't expect that before, he only thought that Lu Yao had advanced thinking and strong ability to do things, but today Fan Zhongyan discovered that Lu Yao's interpersonal skills were also extraordinary.
We can recruit Su Shi and Su Che as commentators.
Perhaps for other people present, the main purpose of watching the game this time is to examine the strength of the two teams, the Grassroots team and the Fanlou team, so as to make plans for if they encounter these two teams in the future, but
For Zhao Zhen, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, this time watching the game, what they need to examine more is Lu Yao's organizational and coordination ability. After all, in the eyes of Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, Lu Yao will definitely not be in the pool one day.
The thing in the game will definitely embark on an official career when the time comes, so it would be better to use this Cuju competition to comprehensively examine Lu Yao's abilities.
On the competition side, on the field, Zhan Zhao confirmed the status of the two teams for the last time, and then started the countdown. Then the whistle sounded, and the first warm-up match of the new Cuju competition officially began.
