The first warm-up match of the new Cuju Competition has officially started. The two teams are the Grassroots team and the Fanlou team. Just five minutes after the game started, the Fanlou team scored a goal through a free kick. The goal was
It has a high gold content. Although it is not the first goal in the official game, this goal should be said to have increased Zhao Zhen's attention to Cuju, and also made all the spectators present think that it is very wise to hold this competition.
choice.
The one who scored the goal was Li Hao, one of the three powerful midfielders whom Pan Wen had mentioned before.
Compared with the cheers of the Fanlou team, as a grassroots team that was lagging behind, they did not show any disappointment. No one wanted to be left behind by the opponent's first goal, not to mention that today it was the Emperor and all other teams were on the sidelines.
Watching the game, losing in this situation is very embarrassing.
However, as the leader of the grassroots team, Chen Chen started working as a coach on the sidelines from the beginning today and did not leave the field immediately to play. After losing the ball, Chen Chen only looked over for a few seconds.
One of the players said a few words, but it seemed that they had no intention of playing.
However, although Chen Chen did not play, the tactics of the grassroots team also changed obviously after conceding a goal.
The grassroots team adopts the tactic of pressing forward. This tactic puts a lot of pressure on the opponent. It basically increases the pressure on the Fanlou team from their own backcourt.
However, this tactic of pressing forward is actually a double-edged sword. The advantage is that once the opponent makes a mistake, if you seize the opportunity correctly, you can get more offensive opportunities to quickly equalize the score or even take the lead.
In fact, in Lu Yao's view, the tactic of pressing forward has a fatal weakness, and it is also the area that needs the most attention, and that is defense.
As mentioned before, this kind of formation presses forward, causing one's own side's defense to push forward. Although when the opponent uses long passes or quick counterattacks, it may cause a situation where it is too late to defend. At this time, one's own side's defense line has to push forward.
Defenders can use the forward pressing effect of the formation to cause an offside foul on the opposing offensive player.
However, using this tactic, there are very strict requirements for the stance and running speed of the players on the back line. Once a mistake is made and the opponent succeeds in countering offside, the goal will be completely exposed to the opponent's goal.
It is under the sight of the offensive player, and there is a high probability that it will result in a one-on-one ball.
No matter how powerful a goalkeeper is, it is difficult to defend the opponent's forward in a one-on-one situation.
Regarding the tactic used by Chen Chen, even Lu Yao was worried for Chen Chen. After all, this tactic has very high requirements for defensive players. No matter how outstanding the grassroots team's defenders are,
But after all, this is their first real game. If they adopt such a difficult and highly coordinated tactic in the first game, I wonder if it will be counterproductive and let the Fan Lou team take the lead?
Even Lu Yao couldn't explain the trend of the next game clearly. After all, although Chen Chen had told himself when he found him before, their team's main tactic was defensive counterattack, but they lost a goal in the first five minutes.
, even if the free kick was scored, the defensive ability of Chen Chen's grassroots team of Lu Yao team was still questioned to a certain extent.
On the field, the game continued, and the grassroots team began to launch an attack. It has to be said that Pan Wen's Fanlou team, he and Lu Yao had mentioned it before, the most proud of their Fanlou team were the three players including Li Hao.
As for the comprehensive ability of midfielders, since Pan Wen said so, it means that the midfield ability of this Fan Lou team is much better than that of Chen Chen's grassroots team.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. In fact, judging from the performance of Chen Chen’s grassroots team’s ball transmission, it is indeed the case. It can be seen that although the facial expressions of the players of this grassroots team have not changed much, it is still the opening game after all.
They conceded a goal in five minutes, and the emperor was watching from the sidelines. He was still a little embarrassed. Therefore, the grassroots team is now on the offensive side. Although there is no change on the surface, their offensive rhythm
From the specific performance of the players, it can still be seen that the grassroots team is a little anxious. This is not what Chen Chen told them, but a normal performance when the score is behind.
Judging from their passing of the ball, there were many times when their passes in the midfield were almost intercepted by the Fan Lou team. This shows that the grassroots team's midfield strength is quite satisfactory. It seems that Chen Chen is not training.
How much effort has been put into the midfield? Except for Lu Yao, all the team leaders present have obviously discovered this problem in the grassroots team, especially Wang Da's Huangtian team, who has exposed Chen Chen as the number one player in the grassroots team.
I have found a weak point, and when the official competition comes, I might as well take advantage of it.
Originally, the midfield ability was not as good as that of the Fan Lou team, and the mentality of his own players was a little impatient, so the ball was transmitted very poorly in the midfield. Fortunately, the overall formation of the grassroots team was moving forward, so even if
If the midfielder is pressed by the Fan Lou team, he can also pass the ball back to the rear players who are following him.
Because of the heavy pressure from the grassroots team, the Fanlou team did not dare to send many players to fight for the ball. Most of their players still had to consolidate their defense at the rear. As a result, the two sides pulled each other and the situation began to stalemate.
. And basically the ball moves in the midfield and the second half of the grassroots team.
"It's nothing special. They can't attack like this. I want to see what other tactics they have."
Li Hao, who had just scored a goal, seemed a little arrogant now. After many unsuccessful midfield battles, Li Hao stopped his ineffective running. He also wanted to save some energy, so he said this.
In fact, Li Hao wanted to compete with Chen Chen, but when he came on the field, he discovered that Chen Chen was not the starting player of the grassroots team. Li Hao suddenly felt a sense of being looked down upon, so,
He worked very hard on the field, as evidenced by the free kick he scored just now. Although the two teams have a good relationship in private, it is precisely because of their good relationship that they cannot hold back on the field.
Although Li Hao's speech just now is arrogant, it is true. It is still difficult to break through the Fanlou team's defense with the midfielder of this grassroots team.
Therefore, now all the Fanlou team's defense members believe that the grassroots team has no way to enter their own half, so they have begun to relax.
The grassroots team, Chen Chen, was waiting for this opportunity. Although the grassroots team seemed to be passing the ball aimlessly, their eyes were always on the two players in the frontcourt.
Then, the ball reached the feet of a center of the grassroots team. At this time, the two forwards of the grassroots team suddenly began to accelerate, running directly towards the Fanlou team's penalty area, one on the left and the other on the right.
Then, I saw the grassroots team's center holding the ball kicking out a long pass.
After the ball stayed in the air for about two seconds, when it fell, it landed directly at the feet of the grassroots forward on the left who had just run towards the Fanlou team's penalty area.
“What a beautiful long biography.”
"I didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous midfielder of the grassroots team would be so capable of long passes. This pass directly passed many defensive players of the Fan Lou team!"
Su Shi and Su Che, who originally thought the game was very boring, could not find anything interesting to say, but at this moment, this long pass appeared, and Zhe Katsuyuki on the side also said: "The main tactical play of the grassroots team is
Defensive counterattack, and to lead a beautiful defensive counterattack, a necessary prerequisite is that the team's long passing ability must be outstanding. It seems that the grassroots team has worked hard in this aspect."
Time waits for no one, and while everyone is surprised, the forward of the Grassroots team has already got the ball, and he starts running with the ball from the left side. However, the defender of the Fanlou team also runs at a good speed, and there are two players
He was already entangled with the striker.
The forward looked up at the penalty area. At this time, there were three Fan Lou team players in the penalty area, as well as the own player who had just run into the penalty area from the other side.
When two players from the Fan Lou team were about to steal the ball, the forward from the grassroots team raised his foot and passed the ball directly into the penalty area. It was a far point. At this time, only two defenders from the Fan Lou team were still far away.
There was the grassroots forward who was running like crazy just now.
Pan Wen, who was on the sidelines, had his heart in his throat at this time. He began to regret. He had already known that Chen Chen's grassroots team used defensive counterattack tactics. Why didn't he expect that their team's long passing ability was so outstanding?
The next second, the ball fell into the penalty area, and the grassroots team's forward jumped high. Although the grassroots team's back line did not have a height advantage, the two forwards were taller and stronger.
The next second, the striker made a header and the ball flew towards the goal.
As a result, the Fanlou team's goalkeeper made a wonderful save and directly pushed the ball over the goal crossbar with his right hand.
As a result, the grassroots team won a corner kick.
All this happened too fast. The grassroots team's offensive just took only about ten seconds from the long pass to the header in the penalty area. After the attack just now, all the players of the Fanlou team, especially Li
Hao, I no longer dare to look down on the grassroots team. Even if Chen Chen is not on the court, they are still a very difficult opponent.
With that offensive opportunity just now, the grassroots team has proved to everyone present that their team is not only good at defense, but also has its own routines on the offensive end. Lu Yao also saw something here
I admire Chen Chen. It can be seen from the eyes of other spectators present that none of them thought that the grassroots team's long passing ability would be so powerful. Obviously, even Lu Yao knew this for the first time, so,
This technique of the grassroots team must have been practiced secretly in private. When Chen Chen could not play, they used it as a trump card. Although it did not work in the end, it still played a very good deterrent effect.
After this attack, no one will look down on this team composed entirely of civilians.
Of course, what Lu Yao didn't expect was that the thoughts of those watching the game were deeper. In fact, in their hearts, they all regarded the grassroots team as Lu Yao's team. After all, the leader, including more than ten team members,
Lu Yao personally selected him, and it was later confirmed that the relationship between Lu Yao and Chen Chen was indeed good. Therefore, everyone believed that although on the surface the leader of the grassroots team was Chen Chen, in fact the real mastermind behind the scenes was Lu Yao.
Yao, so for the tactic just now, more people will think that Lu Yao came up with it for Chen Chen. It doesn’t matter, both Lu Yao and Chen Chen are people who never care what other people say about the grassroots team, of course.
, there are also sober people like Cao You and Wang Da among them. They all know that Lu Yao has been in seclusion for a while to review and prepare for the imperial examination. Where does he have the time to do it to the grassroots team in training?
What kind of tactical arrangements are there? The Huangtian Team, which is training at the same time as the grassroots team, knows this very well. Therefore, both Cao You and Wang Da feel that through the attack just now, Chen Chen has proven that he is a
For a well-qualified coach, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing to stand on the sidelines and watch the game first.
Lu Yao then looked at Chen Chen. The attack just now had obviously won him face and dignity. However, it was obvious that the expression on Chen Chen's face was full of regret. It could be seen that he was thinking about the goal just now.
I didn't feel a little annoyed.
Indeed, judging from the ball just now, it is possible to score with a header in all likelihood. However, the goalkeeper of the Fanlou team made a world-class save and saved the ball.
This unexpected tactic of long ball can only be used once. If a goal is not scored this time, it will be more difficult to score a goal in this way. Pan Wen on the other side has already started shouting for help.
Everyone, pay attention to long passes. The Fan Lou team will definitely pay attention to this aspect after this.
Therefore, if we did not seize the opportunity just now, the whole first half, or in other words, the whole game, if we continue to use long balls, it is not that there are no opportunities, it can only be said that it is much more difficult than before.
Not only that, Chen Chen himself also knew in his heart that the attack was not successful. Even if a corner kick was created, it would not be possible to score a goal. This is because compared with the Fanlou team, the grassroots team has a lower physical fitness of the players.
There are indeed certain differences in terms of height. Not to mention anything else, the grassroots team does not have any advantage in terms of height alone, and height is a factor that greatly affects whether corner kicks can score goals.
Sure enough, the grassroots team took a corner kick on the field, and the ball flew close to the point. Then the backcourt players of the Fanlou team directly competed for the header, and then cleared the ball with one kick.
Although the ball flew to the grassroots team's half, the ball was still in the hands of the grassroots team, but this attack was completely over. The grassroots team could only look for opportunities from its own backcourt to launch a new round.
attack.
At this time, the first half of the game had already gone on for twenty minutes. Lu Yao had previously considered the limitations of ancient Cuju and the physique of ancient people, and finally did not set an injury time period. In other words, the last
The second half is half an hour each. Once the time is up, the half-time game will end directly. There will be no more stoppage time. As for substitutions, just like a normal football game, in the event of a dead ball, both teams can make substitutions.
Substitutions, however, adding up the first and second halves, each team can substitute up to three players. Although the substitution rules are very detailed, not every team among these eight teams is composed of
It is composed of five people, and half of the teams have three players, which means they only have two substitutes, so giving each team three substitutions for the whole game is enough. It may wait until the next session.
During the game, as the number of participants increases, some changes may need to be made to the game duration and substitutions.
The game continued, and the grassroots team was not discouraged because they did not score a goal with the long pass just now. After all, if you do your best and let fate, if you are allowed to have a world-class shot, you must also allow the opponent's goalkeeper to perform well, or in other words,
If God doesn't cooperate and no goals are scored, if every attack can score a goal, then the score in each game will definitely be ridiculously high.
In the next ten minutes, the grassroots team successfully launched three waves of offensive, two of which posed a threat to the Fanlou team's goal. However, the grassroots team, which did not have the advantage in height, broke through the cross from the wing.
Once in a while, the Fanlou team would always destroy it. Only once did the Grassroots team attempt to score with a header, but the ball deviated from the goal and went straight out of the baseline.
As for the Fanlou team, they also seized two opportunities. Among them, Li Hao had a key steal in the midfield. The grassroots team's conduct in the midfield was indeed a bit poor, allowing Li Hao to find the opportunity, but the Fanlou forward
His shot missed, and the ball flew directly over the crossbar. On another opportunity, the grassroots defender used his strength to successfully force the ball down.
In addition to the yellow card received by the grassroots team in the first five minutes, although there were also fouls throughout the first half, the referee Zhan Zhao did not give any cards.
Half an hour, which can be said to be long or fast, once the time is up, Zhan Zhao blew the whistle, and the first half of the game between the two sides ended with Fanlou team temporarily leading 1 to 0.
Then, the players from both sides have a twenty-minute intermission, and then the two sides switch sides and play again in the second half.
Because this is at the Royal Training Ground, there is naturally no place like a rest room for both teams.
Therefore, the Grassroots team and the Fanlou team each stood in the area where their respective leaders were, began to study the situation in the first half, and also made tactical arrangements for the second half.
Although the players took a rest, the three people on the commentary desk could not take a rest. Although the midfield was over, they also began to speculate on the trend of the second half of the game and some of the tactical arrangements that both sides would make. It was time for the official game.
Among them, what makes the audience stay to watch the second half of the game, apart from the excitement of the game, depends on the commentator's words.
For this game, the first half was still very exciting, and in Su Shi and Su Zhe's opinion, the biggest highlight of the second half is naturally whether Chen Chen will play in person to compete. You know, if according to the first half,
In terms of rhythm and style of play, the two sides have been in a stalemate. It is very likely that the final score will be fixed at 1-0. In this way, the Fanlou team will win this game.
Of course, if the Grassroots team finds an opportunity by using a long pass, they may still be able to equalize the score. However, the poor passing of the Grassroots team in the midfield may also give the Fanlou team a chance to expand the score. What should be done in the second half?
Doing it depends more on what Chen Chen thinks.
Lu Yao walked up to Zhao Zhen at this time and suggested that Zhao Zhen prepare a bowl of water for the three ninjas on the commentary table. After all, he had been talking for so long, and it was inevitable that his mouth would feel dry.
The warm-up match was okay, but when it comes to the official match, they should talk more than they do now, so the three of them must be in good condition.
After Zhao Zhen heard Lu Yao explain the stakes, he immediately ordered people to deliver water to the three, and said that since it was a warm-up match, there was no need to work so hard during the halftime break. After all, what they said
, in fact, the leaders and team members present basically know it.
Throughout the first half, the two teams fought very fiercely and consumed a lot of physical energy. Therefore, not surprisingly, both teams had to make some substitutions at the beginning of the second half.
Five minutes after the break, Chen Chen changed into the team's uniform and seemed to be doing warm-up exercises.
He should have used the first five minutes of the break to talk to everyone about the tactical issues of the second half, and then left some time for himself to do warm-up exercises and prepare to play in the second half.
Seeing that Chen Chen was about to play, Pan Wen immediately began to make adjustments. It seemed that the Fan Lou team also had to change its players.
After all, this is the first game of the warm-up match, and it is also the first time that Chen Chen personally leads a team in a game. Naturally, he does not want his team to be suppressed and lose the game in the end, and in front of the emperor.
The reason why he did not play in the first half was because Chen Chen discovered that the grassroots team could still hold up its defense without him. If they only conceded one goal in the first half, he would play again in the second half and pass
The physical advantage should be able to equalize the score.
The spectators on the sidelines had different expressions on their faces when they saw that Chen Chen was about to take the field, but they all knew one thing in their hearts, that is, the intensity of the game in the second half must be greater than that in the first half.
