Chapter 210 Hedging

The palace, the playing field.

Compared with the celebration scene after the Wenyuan team once again recovered the score, the Lions team was lifeless. The players looked at each other, obviously unable to believe this fact, because from the first half of the game to the present, they actually occupied the court.

The Lions have always taken the initiative. Especially after Cao You replaced Zou Kai and Chen Feng, the Lions scored a goal at the end of the first half and took the lead again. Everything was heading towards Cao You.

It developed in the expected direction, but who knew that just ten minutes into the second half, the situation would be reversed again. Not only did the two forwards of our team misfire, but they were also caught by the opponent.

opportunity, successfully launched a defensive counterattack, and finally tied the score again.

At this time, Cao Yi's mood on the sidelines was the most angry. After the Wenyuan team equalized the score, Han Yonghe looked here again and smiled. Cao Guojiu was so angry that his teeth were itching. He knew that Han Yonghe

The old guy Yonghe was laughing at himself, so he went to Cao You and asked him what his plans were next. He didn't want to lose the game like this. Before, because Cao You made reasonable use of his players and tactics, in fact,

It has helped the Lions to establish a certain advantage, so Cao Yan gave up on not letting the Lions make substitutions. But now the situation has changed. During the defensive counterattack, the Wenyuan team once again passed two

The cooperation of the core players tore apart the Lions' defense, and finally scored and the score was tied. Moreover, it happened after the Lions' Zou Kai and Chen Feng's offense was ineffective, coupled with Han Yonghe's ridicule,

This once again made Cao Yi furious.

Originally, Cao Yan himself was not very satisfied with the two live treasures Zou Kai and Chen Feng when he first saw them. Cao Yan felt that the size and condition of these two people were completely unfit to join the Cuju team.

However, his son Cao You said at the time that it was precisely because of the joining of these two people that the original intention of the new Cuju could be better reflected. Seeing that his son was very insistent, Cao Yi didn't say much.

But in today's game, the outstanding performance after playing in the first half seems to be just a flash in the pan. These two people faced the two defenders replaced by Wenyuan team, plus Han Wenyuan's

Even though the tactics were coordinated, they started to feel helpless.

"What do you want to do? I didn't let you accept them in the first place, and now they are directly targeting you. How can you win?" Cao Yan looked at Cao You and said suppressing the anger in his heart. He knew that this

The situation cannot be the same as the Wenyuan team during the halftime break. Conflicts between our own teams cannot break out.

Cao You did not directly answer his father's question. Instead, he moved his eyes back from the players on the field. He looked at the two Lions sitting on the bench next to him who were replaced five minutes before the end of the first half.

The team's starting forward.

Then, Cao Yu walked over and asked, "How are you two doing? If you go on the field now and hold on until the end of the game, is that okay?"

The two starting forwards of the Lions were stunned for a moment, and then nodded. They were thinking, why are we allowed to play again? Originally, after Zou Kai and Chen Feng scored a goal after coming on the field, these two people felt that,

Maybe the starting forwards in this official game will be Zou Kai and Chen Feng, and they are also ready to sit on the bench. Unexpectedly, just ten minutes into the second half, Cao You expressed that he wanted them to

The two return to the field.

Cao You did not explain the reason to them. After all, time was limited. Then he asked the two people to do warm-up exercises again. The two team members naturally obeyed the command, stood up from their seats, and went to do warm-up exercises aside.

Cao Yi was a little confused. Although he questioned Cao You about the two living treasures, he never thought that Cao You would replace those two people again. What on earth was he thinking?

What?

But this time, in response to his father's question, Cao You gave a two-word answer: avoid danger.

Naturally, Cao Yi didn't understand the meaning.

All the players on the court naturally saw the two players, Zou Kai and Chen Feng, who were starting to do warm-up exercises again, and thought that Cao You wanted to replace him because he did not perform well. As for the Wenyuan team, this

At that time, the momentum was at its peak, and I felt that it would be useless for the other party to replace him.

Cao Yu walked up to the two people who were warming up and seemed to be explaining some tactics.

On the field, the celebration time was over, the Lions served, and the score had become 2-2, with less than twenty minutes left before the end of the second half.

After kick-off, both sides used the same tactics as before. Wenyuan team still retreated in defensive formation, and the two core players were still wandering back and forth in the midfield. At this time, the Lions team still made a move because they had just lost the ball.

Some adjustments were made, that is, their defense did not dare to be too forward, but in this way, the offensive players invested by the Lions had to face the defense of many Wenyuan team members.

At this time, Zou Kai and Chen Feng began to take the initiative to ask for the ball. Obviously, they were dissatisfied with Cao You's intention to make substitutions and wanted to prove themselves. However, haste makes waste, and Han Wenyuan was not satisfied with the abilities of the two of them.

The analysis can be said to be very thorough. When the two men got the ball again and prepared to attack, the result was still the same. The two forwards were restricted by the Wenyuan team's defense. Although this time Zou Kai did not act like

He was as angry as before, and the ball was always under his control, but he just couldn't break through the opponent's defense. Han Wenyuan's defensive tactics were also very clear. He never took the initiative to attack and kept the same in response to changes. The two sides were in a stalemate.

With.

Until, after the game progressed for five minutes, Cao You suddenly called out Zou Kai's name and then made a gesture. Zou Kai looked over and saw that although he looked unwilling, he still chose to kick outside the penalty area.

Of course, this is not within the shooting range that Zou Kai is familiar with, so the result of the shot is obvious. However, this time Zou Kai increased his intensity when shooting, and the ball flew directly out of bounds without falling into the hands of the Lions goalkeeper.

.

The goal kick means the Lions have enough time to position their defense.

At this time, Cao You also found the side referee Gongsun Ce, and then Gongsun Ce found the head referee Zhan Zhao.

Then, a short whistle sounded, which meant there was a change of personnel on the sidelines.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The Lions once again replaced Zou Kai and Chen Feng, two forwards who scored goals on the field, and replaced the original two starting forwards.

Cao You's move actually made all the leaders of other teams on the sidelines a little confused. Although they had just seen the two forwards doing warm-up exercises, they did not expect that Cao You would really

The two of them came back on the field. Although Lu Yao's rules about substitutions did not state that people who had been substituted could not be put on the field again, but Cao Yu had no choice but to put the two of them on the field again.

Change the situation on the field.

The current defensive strategy adopted by the Wenyuan team, in fact, no matter what tactics Cao Yu uses to break through, as long as the formation is stable and there is no loss of position or active pressing, the Lions are afraid of the Wenyuan team’s defensive counterattack, so the Lions have more offensive numbers.

There is no advantage in the game, and the Lions' long-range shooting ability is very average. Most of the defensive players are gathered in the penalty area. It is difficult for the Lions to find opportunities to break through. Maybe Cao You can find a way to break through in the future.

This defensive formation, but now, there is only a quarter of an hour left before the end of the normal game. It is obviously unrealistic to find a solution in such a short period of time, not to mention that now the offensive right has been followed by Zou Kai's long shot.

Failure was left in the hands of the Wenyuan team.

If substitutions are made at this time, even if Zou Kai and Chen Feng find it difficult to score, there is no need. After all, these two people should have more physical strength than the starting two forwards, and they may also be able to contribute their own strength in defense. This

This is what other leaders are thinking about now.

However, as a commentator, Katsuyuki Zhe and Lu Yao on the sidelines were very clear about the reasons for Cao Yu's move.

Lu Yao had told Pan Wen and Chen Chen before that if he were Cao Yu, he would find an opportunity to replace Zou Kai and Chen Feng.

At that time, Pan Wen and Chen Chen still didn't understand, but now Cao Yu really did this.

In this regard, Lu Yao gave an explanation: "Cao Yu made this personnel change not to win the game, but to avoid the risks of Chen Feng and Zou Kai."

"What do you mean?" Pan Wen and Chen Chen were still confused.

Lu Yao continued: "Although Zou Kai and Chen Feng performed well in the first half and even scored a goal, after the start of the second half, facing Han Wenyuan's tactics, everyone from Cao Yu to Zou Kai and Chen Feng seemed

At their wits' end, neither of them could break through the Wenyuan team's defense. You must know that after this game is the official game, and Zou Kai and Chen Feng spent most of their time on their physical appearance, and their shortcomings are now

Although some have been exposed, there may still be some problems that they have not exposed, such as physical strength and their defensive performance. If these two continue to play in this state, they will definitely expose more of themselves.

Question. Therefore, in order to prevent other teams from thoroughly studying Zou Kai and Chen Feng, Cao You made plans for the subsequent competition. Therefore, Cao You wants to replace the two of them at this time to prepare for the official competition."

"So that's it. If Zou Kai and Chen Feng expose too many problems, they will be easily targeted by the Goshawk team in subsequent games." Chen Chen understood what Lu Yao said.

Although Pan Wen understood Cao You's intention of replacing Chen Feng and Zou Kai this time, he said: "It's just that the score now is two to two. Although the two starting forwards had one in the first half,

The goal was scored, but it was a result of teamwork and Cao Yu's tactics. When it comes to individual offensive capabilities, I'm afraid they can't compare to Chen Feng and Zou Kai. At this time, these two people came back, and it took more than a quarter of an hour.

It’s also difficult to score points here.”

On the commentary table, Su Shi and Su Che deduced the same thing based on Zhe Kexing's explanation. Both of them felt that Cao You should not give up scoring opportunities so easily. Now they will replace Zou Kai and Chen Feng.

They can avoid risks and prevent the leaders and players of other teams from discovering more shortcomings in them. However, if the Lions lose the ball again in the next game due to this substitution, they may not be able to catch up.

Coming up, isn’t this a bit more gain than loss?

Zhe Kexing thought for a moment. In fact, he was a little confused at first about the meaning of Cao Yu's move. But after thinking about it carefully, Zhe Kexing said: "This game is a warm-up match after all. Even if we are competing with each other in this game,

The Han family really has a winner. The losing side can use the warm-up match as an excuse. At most, it will just let the other party show off their rhetoric for a while. However, compared to the warm-up match, the official match is of course more important.

, it doesn’t matter if you lose in this game, it does not involve elimination. However, the schedule of the official game is different. It is a single-elimination knockout system, that is, each team has only one chance, and will be eliminated as long as it loses one game.

, So, I think Cao You made a choice between the temporary conflict of morale and the long-term development of the team, sacrificing this warm-up match in exchange for a more stable performance in the official game."

After saying this, Zhe Kexing added: "Of course, replacing Zou Kai and Chen Feng does not mean that the Lions will definitely fail in this game, but it is indeed difficult for them to score points on the offensive end.

, but as long as they defend well, they can still maintain the 2-2 score until the end of the game."

Su Shi and Su Che thought for a while, and Su Shi said: "Well, from what you said, Cao Yu's approach is indeed in line with his thoughtful character. However, I don't know if the Lions can hold their own defense.

Until the end."

Cao Yu's mentality of making personnel changes was actually the same as what Lu Yao and Zhe Kexing said. He knew that even if he didn't tell him, with Zhe Kexing's understanding of him, he would guess his motives for doing so. However,

At this time, Zhe Kexing fully explained the meaning of Cao You's actions, but Cao Guojiu, who had stood aside and said nothing since the first half until now, became a little angry.

As the leader of the Lions, although Cao You is actually responsible for everything in the team, externally, especially in the DPRK, everyone knows that this warm-up match actually represents Cao Yi and Han Yonghe.

There is a fight between big families, and the people also think that the leader of the Lions team is Cao Yi.

Because of my son

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He is really good at leading the team, and he is really not very interested in this new Cuju. Cao Yan only decided to have this warm-up match because of his grievances with Han Yonghe. However, for Cao Yan, the significance of this game is

The outcome is actually more important than the official game. After all, it is related to his reputation. When Cao You made the substitution, he only said two words to avoid danger. At that time, Cao Yi did not understand at all.

The thoughts of temptation. Now that Zhe Kexing said this, Cao Guoshu also realized that after his son made this substitution, it can be said that it is basically impossible for the Lions to win again. Naturally, he felt

uncomfortable.

So, Cao Yi walked to Cao You and wanted to ask a few questions. However, Cao You obviously knew that he would come to ask him why, so he said: "Father, don't worry, although I will replace Zou Kai and Chen Feng

, and judging from the current situation on the field, it should be more difficult to break through the Wenyuan team's defense in the remaining quarter of an hour. However, our Lions will not lose, this

The score should not change again."

Cao Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. It seemed that his son had found a way to deal with the core trio of Wenyuan team. In this way, although his Lions team had no way to win this warm-up match, as long as

This two-to-two scoreline lasted until the end of the game. If the two teams tied in the end, it wouldn't count, and they would be able to hold their heads high when facing Han Yonghe.

"Do you really have a way? Let me see, the two goals scored by the Wenyuan team before were very impressive. The first goal was extremely difficult to shoot, and the second goal was a very beautiful defensive counterattack. With the performance of our players now

The ability should not be able to stop their shots and breakthroughs." Cao Yi said with some worry. Although he knew that his son was quite accomplished in tactics, it was still difficult to completely block the Wenyuan team's offense.

Cao You smiled and said: "Father, don't worry. In fact, I have observed the three core players of their Wenyuan team. In fact, among these three people, the real core is not the two forward players, but Xuchang.

Although this center is not directly related to the two goals, the offensive rhythm of the Wenyuan team is often initiated from Xuchang. As the soul of the midfielder, the whole team is organized through him.

Attack. Now that our Lions team has retreated, it is obviously unrealistic to use defensive counterattacks. Therefore, the Wenyuan team should use more mobile warfare and positional warfare to attack. Under these conditions, they

The core offensive point is actually Xuchang. As long as he is blocked, the two forwards will have no room to perform."

When Cao Yi heard this, combined with the performance of the Wenyuan team so far, he felt that what his son said made sense. Although Xu Chang did not score the points himself, he was indeed an indispensable person in the midfield of the Wenyuan team.

Among the core trio, he is the only center. Compared to the forwards, who are more responsible for offense, Xuchang actually has to do more things, including offense and defense, organizing offenses, and designing defensive tactics. As long as he is locked in

, which can reduce the offensive rhythm of Wenyuan team.

But, can Cao You really have a way to limit the Wenyuan team's offense?

Cao Yan returned his gaze to the playing field.

On the field, after Zou Kai missed a long shot, the Lions made two personnel substitutions. Zou Kai and Chen Feng were replaced, and Cao Yu replaced the Lions' starting two forwards.

After Zou Kai and Chen Feng came off the field, their faces were full of unwillingness, especially Zou Kai. Not only was he perfectly restrained by the opponent's defensive players, but the Lions just lost the ball because of his lack of calmness.

After the long-range shot was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper, he directly launched a defensive counterattack, allowing the Wenyuan team to tie the score. He felt very sorry and felt that he was very sorry for coach Cao You, but he could not break the situation.

Cao You saw the two of them returning to the bench to get ready. Zou Kai looked at him and wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak.

However, Zou Kai did not expect that after a while, Cao Youi walked next to him and Chen Feng and sat down.

Zou Kai was very nervous. He thought that Cao You was coming to ask questions, so he immediately stood up to admit his mistake. However, Cao You motioned for Zou Kai to sit down, and then Cao You said: "You two performed particularly well today, but

Han Wenyuan guessed correctly what you two have been training for more than ten days. I replaced you in order to prevent you from exposing more shortcomings. After all, our opponent in the first round is the Goshawk team. The Goshawk team should be strong.

Needless to say, you both understand that no matter what, I don’t want the Cuju team I lead to be defeated in just one official round of competition. Therefore, I have already planned it. Next, I will find a place.

Before the official game starts, I will take you to continue training. I must train you to be forwards with no weaknesses, so that when the official game comes, we will have a chance to defeat the Goshawks."

Zou Kai was very moved when he heard this. He and Chen Feng were just two ordinary people in Bianliang City, but Cao You trusted them very much, so Zou Kai said: "Master Cao You, I know now that I

Nothing can make up for the mistake I just caused to the Lions, but you can rest assured that my unbalanced mentality just now is the first and last time. I will definitely perform well in the official game."

"Me too!" Chen Feng said from the side.

Cao You stood up from the bench and said, "That's what I'm waiting for." Then he looked at the field again.

On the playing field, the ball was transferred to the Wenyuan team. The goalkeeper took a goal kick. It was still a long ball, and the landing point accurately found the feet of Xuchang in the midfield.

Sure enough, the overall offensive rhythm of the Wenyuan team was organized by Xuchang. It was different from the defensive counterattack strategy used when scoring last time. There is still a quarter of an hour before the end of the game. Xuchang must make good use of these fifteen minutes, because

The Lions replaced Zou Kai and Chen Feng, which means that they no longer want to win this game. Therefore, as long as they grasp the last fifteen minutes and let the Wenyuan team score another goal,

Then the Wenyuan team will definitely win this warm-up match.

However, Xuchang looked around and saw that the Lions' defensive formation seemed to have changed again.
