Among all the people present, Lu Yao and Zhe Kexing were the only two people who truly believed that Cao You had a chance to lead the Lions to defeat Wenyuan. Of course, they did not believe in any member of the Lions.
Personal ability, what they valued was Cao Yu's tactical ability.
However, even Zhe Kexing, who had watched several rounds of training by the Lions, had difficulty guessing what kind of tactics Cao Yu's Lions would use. Their average offensive and defensive abilities during training were
Is this really the strength, or are they hiding their strength?
Even Zhe Kexing couldn't predict the strength of the Lions, let alone Lu Yao. After all, while Cao You was leading the team members to train, he was in seclusion at home preparing for the imperial examination.
However, the astute Lu Yao still saw some clues from the selection of the Lions before the game. Everyone knows that the three newly replaced players of the Wenyuan team have their own positions, two forwards and one center.
On the field, judging from this position distribution, there is no doubt that the Wenyuan team's offensive ability is very strong. They have both an excellent center and two forwards with super offensive abilities. They launch an attack around these three players.
Come to think of it, even Chen Chen's grassroots team can't guarantee that they won't be breached, let alone the Lions team whose defensive capabilities are not very outstanding.
In this case, everyone watching the game felt that it would be better if Cao You chose to attack first. Since the game had just begun, it would be easier for the players to warm up quickly through offense and find their state.
.As a defensive side, you may not be able to touch the ball for a long time at the beginning, which will cause the players' defensive enthusiasm to decline and their condition to decline. This will easily affect the players' mentality. In yesterday's warm-up match, Chen Chen
The first goal brought to the grassroots team was that the two new defenders of Fanlou team were not in the state.
Although it is the first half now, and as the starting players, they are definitely in a state of eagerness to try, but there is still a certain psychological gap between the attacker and the defender at the beginning.
Everyone basically had the same idea, whether it was due to the difference in team strength or Wenyuan team's team style, from any aspect, Cao Yu was actually more suitable to take the initiative and choose to kick off first.
Even the Lions' opponent, Han Wenyuan of the Wenyuan team, felt this way. He originally thought that he would fight for the right to attack and gain an advantage first. After establishing a mental advantage in this way,
It is very likely that this game will become an exhibition match for the Wenyuan team.
However, everyone, whether they were opponents on the field or people watching on the sidelines, were very surprised by the choice Cao Yu made next.
That's because Cao You did not choose to attack first that was beneficial to him. Instead, he chose to choose a side first and handed over the power of active attack to the opponent. Admittedly, Cao You may have thought that the opponent might not be able to make progress in one attack.
However, the opponent they faced was the Wenyuan team, so everyone was very confused about Cao You's choice.
However, Lu Yao, who was standing on the sidelines, understood Cao's intention after closing his eyes for a few seconds.
He looked at Chen Chen and Pan Wen, who looked puzzled, and only said a few words, that is, the wind is blowing.
In a normal modern football stadium, there is actually a flow of wind. However, before the game, the event preparers have actually made pre-game weather predictions. Coupled with the design of the stadium, uncertain factors such as wind speed will be controlled.
Within a reasonable range. Downwind and headwind, whether in terms of running, dribbling, or shooting, will have a certain impact on the game. For modern players, these impacts have actually been integrated into their daily training.
, I don’t care at all about the small impact of the weather.
However, this is the Song Dynasty. Apart from other things, there are no wind barriers around the competition field. Once the wind blows, the wind force and direction are uncontrollable. In addition, these team members have only passed through more than ten times before.
Days of training time, how do they know the wind direction and speed? The ability to adapt to the situation is actually a hidden danger.
Based on the above considerations, Lu Yao also knew the reason for Cao Yu's decision to choose sides after he made the decision. He couldn't help but admire Cao Yu in his heart. In fact, he was talking about the impact of weather on the game.
It was mentioned in the player's manuscript. However, Lu Yao thought that the official game would be at the Bird's Nest Stadium and there would be a barrier. Even if it was really windy, it should not have much impact on the game. Therefore, Lu Yao
Yao just wrote one sentence, pay attention to wind speed and direction, which will also affect the situation on the field. Coaches need to take all uncertain factors into account on the playing field.
It can be seen from the shocked expressions of Pan Wen and Chen Chen that although these two friends of Lu Yao attach great importance to this new Cuju competition, and they performed very well in the warm-up match yesterday, however, it is very difficult for them to do so.
Obviously neither of them noticed this seemingly simple but very complicated sentence in the coach's manuscript. Even Pan Wen and Chen Chen did not expect it, let alone those who had not read the coach's manuscript carefully.
That's it. From the puzzled expressions of everyone on the sidelines regarding Cao Yixuan's actions, Lu Yao also knew that no one seemed to have noticed what he had written.
However, it is obvious that Cao You understands the coach's manuscript better than Chen Chen and Pan Wen. At least he noticed that this sentence may seem casual, but in fact it contains a lot of university knowledge. Therefore, Cao You must have understood it.
Wind direction and speed will have some impact on the stadium and the player's condition. Therefore, based on his understanding, when the wind picked up, Cao You made the decision to choose the side first.
In this way, according to the current wind direction, Cao You's Lions team is in the direction of the downwind, and the warm spring breeze blows from their backs, making the team members feel very cool and comfortable.
In comparison, the members of the Wenyuan team felt less comfortable. As soon as the team members took their positions, the cold spring breeze had already blown ruthlessly from their faces, making them feel chilly.
Chen Chen and Pan Wen didn't notice this sentence in the coach's manuscript written by Lu Yao, so they didn't understand the reason why Cao chose the side. So Lu Yao briefly told them about the possible effects of wind speed and direction on the playing field.

Influence.
Pan Wen doesn't care. After all, his Fan Lou team's warm-up match was completed yesterday. He can just take this factor into consideration when the official match begins.
However, Chen Chen's mentality is very different. He is about to become another steward next to Lu Yao, and the thing he attaches most importance to right now is this new Cuju competition. Privately, he thinks that he should
Among the leaders of the eight teams, he was the one who paid the most attention to this competition and had the most thorough research on tactics. However, judging from Cao You's understanding of the wind direction, Chen Chen was completely defeated. When Lu Yao talked about himself
When the coach's manuscript once mentioned the impact of wind on the game, Chen Chen had no memory at all. He didn't remember reading this sentence at all. Lu Yao definitely couldn't lie to him, and the Lions on the field were
Choosing a side further proves that Cao You must have seen that sentence.
Therefore, Chen Chen's current mood can be said to be that of shame. None of the things he values most and does most conscientiously are not perfect. There are still things he has not considered. He blames himself very much and quickly admits his mistake to Lu Yao.
.
Lu Yao, who knew Chen Chen's character very well, had long known that he must have this reaction, so he quickly comforted Chen Chen, saying that his sentence was not impressive. After all, except for Cao You, all the leaders of the eight teams should not have it.
After seeing that sentence, Chen Chen didn't affect his team's performance on the court because he didn't read it less. He just needs to be more careful from now on.
This was tantamount to teaching Chen Chen a lesson, and Chen Chen secretly vowed to be more serious about his work in the future.
At the same time, Zhan Zhao's whistle sounded on the field, which meant that the game between the Cao family's Lions team and the Han family's Wenyuan team had officially begun.
Pan Wen looked at the situation on the field and asked: "Although Cao Yu is very aware of the impact that wind direction and speed may have on the game, is this impact enough to affect the game situation?"
Lu Yao smiled and said: "In this game, it should be said that it has a great impact. After all, the leader of the Wenyuan team, Han Wenyuan, can take into account the tactics that Cao You may use and Xiong.
Some basic information about the Lions team members. However, this is the first time he has encountered an uncontrollable factor like wind. Moreover, this is the first field game of the Wenyuan team. No matter how powerful the players are, it will be their first time competing.
, when encountering an unexpected situation, it is inevitable that you will be in a hurry, and this is the opportunity Cao You is looking for."
"But, in the second half, the Han family will have the advantage of controlling the wind direction," Chen Chen said.
"In fact, no one can say for sure about the direction of the wind. However, I think it is impossible for Cao You to have just guessed today's weather. He must have done research on this aspect yesterday or this morning. Moreover, once it is in
If the Wenyuan team is in chaos at the beginning of the game, a very serious problem will occur, that is, internal strife. The three core players are the main players in the game, but if there is a problem with the three of them, you say, the other players will not
Are you going to start blaming them?"
As Lu Yao spoke, he thought to himself that with Cao You's IQ, he must have taken all these factors into consideration.
After the game started, everyone's eyes were focused on the field. Unfortunately, Han Wenyuan and Han Yonghe did not expect the question that Lu Yao thought of. Originally, their Wenyuan team, under the instruction of Han Yonghe,
There is a combination of off-field coaches and on-field coaches, and among these people, the one who read the coach's draft most carefully is probably Han Wenyuan. However, he chose to take the lead in attacking from the beginning and will choose the side.
From the act of giving up power to the Cao family, we can know that he actually did not pay attention to the sentence written by Lu Yao.
As for the three core players of the Wenyuan team, although they were told by Han Yonghe to read the coaches' manuscripts and adapt to changes on the court, the three of them had the same idea, which was to focus on the general direction and overall strategy of the tactics.
In terms of control, they still have to rely on the off-field coach, Han Wenyuan, who is watching the game from the sidelines. After watching yesterday's grassroots game against the Fanlou team, they are even more convinced of this.
People who stand on the sidelines and watch the game will indeed have a better view of the overall situation, and when analyzing the trend of the game, it is definitely more advantageous for those who stand on the sidelines. Chen Chen proved this very well in yesterday's game. Therefore,
Although these three core players also read the coach's relevant manuscripts, they did not read them particularly carefully, let alone pay much attention to such words in one sentence.
And these four of them will soon pay the price for their pride and carelessness.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the field. As Zhan Zhao's whistle sounded, the second warm-up match of the new Cuju Competition could be said to be a battle of old enemies. The Wenyuan team led by Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan faced Cao Guo.
Uncle, the Lions team led by Cao You. Before the game, basically everyone was more optimistic about the Wenyuan team, while Lu Yao and Zhe Kexing thought that the Lions team had a chance. But one thing is for sure, except for the extreme
Except for a few people, almost everyone present felt that the intensity of today's game was not as intense as yesterday's, or even much worse.
At the beginning of the game, Wenyuan team took the lead in attacking.
Facts have proved that everyone's idea is correct. The Wenyuan team, like the Fan Lou team, has three core players, but the three core players of the Fan Lou team, including Li Hao, are all centers.
Therefore, their conduction ability in the midfield, including organizational ability, is relatively strong. However, the Wenyuan team has two core players who are currently at the forward position, and only one core player is playing the center position.
After the game started, the Wenyuan team was different from yesterday's Fanlou team in the way they quickly passed the ball and steadily controlled the ball possession rate. Their passes almost made mistakes several times, as long as the ball was not at the feet of the core center forward.
It always gives people the feeling of being robbed.
Each member of the Lions team stood firm in their position. Except for the forward who was left in the frontcourt, the other ten players retreated to their own half to defend. From the perspective of the formation, it was really a defensive comparison.
stable.
The order given by Han Wenyuan to the Wenyuan team was very simple. After the game started, they had to give the Lions a powerful blow. Even if they couldn't score a goal, they still had to demoralize the opponent. It was worthwhile to expend some energy for this.
The members of the Wenyuan team resolutely implemented the tactics explained by Han Wenyuan and started the game
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Then they began to press forward towards the opponent's half. However, while running, they always felt that their physical exertion was greater than during normal training. They thought it might be because this was their team's first city-level competition.
That's why this happens.
The Lions team, like the grassroots team yesterday, did not actively attack from the beginning, but held on to their position. After a while, the players of the Wenyuan team began to sweat on their foreheads.
Procrastinating like this is not the way to go, the core center thought, so he began to use his personal ability to break through the Lions' defensive formation. There were two other core forward players in front of him to support him.
Subsequently, the center passed two Lions players in midfield and began to approach the Lions penalty area.
The other two core players of the Wenyuan team also showed their super personal abilities at this time. In terms of speed, they are indeed much faster than the Lions' defenders.
The two began to run desperately towards both sides, with the Lions chasing them behind them. At this time, the core center found the opportunity and passed a long pass to the forward who broke through from the right.
.
However, at the beginning, including Chen Chen and Pan Wen, judging from the person's shot and the flight path of the ball, the forward should be able to receive the pass steadily. Su Shi and Su Che also explained this, they
Everyone began to praise him, saying that the core player of the Wenyuan team had outstanding long-distance passing ability.
But who would have thought that before the words were spoken, the ball had already fallen, and the core forward had already run several meters further than where the ball landed.
What's going on? Chen Chen carefully recalled the pass just now. According to normal circumstances, he should be able to catch the ball. But now, it is obvious that there is a difference between the forward player and the midfielder on the field.
Communication, or coordination issues, prevented the pass from being passed successfully. Subsequently, the ball was obtained by a member of the Lions, and the initiative was in the hands of the Lions.
The two core players looked at each other, and they did not blame each other, because they also knew that there should be no problem with the ball just passed, but why did it seem to be a little shorter when it actually landed?
Cao You, who was standing on the sidelines observing the situation, had already predicted that this situation would occur.
"Instructor Zhe, I really didn't expect that the two core players of the Wenyuan team had no tacit understanding in passing the ball and made such a low-level mistake."
Faced with Su Shi's question, Zhe Kexing had already seen the clues, so he said: "Actually, almost everyone thought that there was no problem with the pass just now, and the core forward of the Wenyuan team ran to the position where
, it should be where the ball was originally going to fall, but there are other factors that affect the ball’s landing point.”
Su Che thought for a moment and said, "You mean, wind?"
"Yes, everyone should have felt it by now. It has been windy since the start of the game. Although it is not a strong wind, the wind speed and direction will have a great impact on the trajectory of the ball in the air."
Su Shi had a clear mind and reacted instantly, saying: "So, is this the reason why Cao You took the initiative to choose a side at the beginning of the game?"
"That's right," Katsuyuki Zhe continued, "by choosing sides, Cao Yu's side successfully took advantage of the wind. Whether it's the running of the players, passing the ball, or shooting, the ball is assisted by the wind in the air. Naturally,
It’s about saving some effort. As you all saw just now, the members of the Wenyuan team started to sweat less than five minutes into the game. This is also because they have been running against the wind.”
"So, because of the headwind, both the player passing the ball and the player receiving the ball still estimated based on the previous distance, so the calculation was wrong. In the end, the ball was passed short, and this kind of coordination appeared.
A mistake?"
After Zhe Katsuyuki's explanation, everyone watching on the sidelines finally understood. On the one hand, they all realized that wind speed and direction can have a great impact on the game. On the other hand, they also began to admire them.
Cao You actually took this factor into consideration, so he chose a side in the first place.
In order to prevent Lu Yao from taking the blame, Zhe Kexing did not want anyone to think that it was because Lu Yao did not tell everyone about the incident at the beginning, so he went on to say: "Actually, I have checked and found out that after Mr. Lu Yao gave you
In the coach's manuscript, there was actually mention of wind direction and wind speed, but you probably didn't pay much attention to it."
At this time, the most depressing people on the field should be Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan. If Zhe Kexing hadn't revealed the wind speed and direction just now, the two of them would still be kept in the dark and thought they were his subordinates.
What's wrong with the team members' condition?
However, after Zhe Kexing's reminder, Han Wenyuan now knew the reason why his team had failed to pass the ball just now, but he had no way to take any countermeasures. The reason was very simple, because the wind speed and direction were weather and force majeure.
The reason is that as long as the wind does not stop, the players of the Wenyuan team will face the conditions of fighting against the wind at least in the first half. Perhaps the only chance to reverse this situation is that the Wenyuan team can choose a side before the start of the game.
, rather than launching an attack first.
Although each of the three core players under his command has strong professional abilities in Cuju, it is still difficult for them to master the passing and shooting power in a headwind situation.
"Damn it, we were completely tricked by Cao." Han Yonghe stamped his feet angrily on the sidelines. He looked towards the Lions team. At this time, Cao Guojiu looked high-spirited and looked towards this side with a smile.
The smile, in Han Yonghe's view, was naked ridicule.
Cao Yi must be in a very good mood at this time, and he also began to look at Cao You differently.
Back on the field, the ball was passed back to the goalkeeper by the Lions. The moment the goalkeeper received the ball, the Lions players collectively began to run quickly towards the opponent's half, going with the wind.
Time moves extremely fast.
However, the two core forwards of the Wenyuan team were not vegetarians. They immediately made adjustments and asked all players to return to their own half to set up a defensive formation.
