The second warm-up match, the personal grudge battle between the Cao family and the Han family, was also the reason for holding the warm-up match. If it weren't for Han Yonghe and Cao Yi who had a dispute, maybe this new Cuju competition would have officially started.
There will be no warm-up match during the competition. Of course, thinking about it now, Lu Yao is quite grateful to Cao Yi and Han Yonghe for holding the warm-up match.
Today, as the second warm-up match, because the strength of the second half is weaker than that of the first half, everyone has little expectations for this game. However, as the game progresses, especially at the end of the first half,
After the Lions scored in the first five minutes, the atmosphere of the entire second warm-up match was pushed to a climax. At that time, everyone was already looking forward to the second warm-up match. It turned out that this second
This warm-up match is not only to resolve personal grievances. In terms of team strength, the Wenyuan team and the Lions team are also relatively strong. At least, both sides have something to offer in terms of tactics and players. Their opponent, Zhang Maocai, is
Needless to say, the Goshawks led by Gu Liang have been watching the tactics used by the Lions and their changes on the field. The purpose is naturally to study them thoroughly and wait until the official game.
Defeated in one fell swoop.
In the first half, I thought that the players were better and the Wenyuan team with its core trio had an absolute advantage. However, judging from the score, it was the weaker Lions team that led by a score of 2 to 1. In the end, the Wenyuan team had an absolute advantage.
What was surprising was Cao Youzai's substitution before the end of the first half. He was replaced by the two Lions' treasures, Zou Kai and Chen Feng, who all the players knew were fat and thin.
Originally, if Cao You didn't send them on the field, others would even think that these two people were just the mascots of the Lions. It was just that Cao You didn't replace them in order to satisfy his status as a civilian team.
However, when these two scored goals shortly after coming on the field, everyone stopped laughing at them because they were indeed capable.
At the end of the first half, the Wenyuan team made substitution adjustments and replaced two defenders. However, these two defenders, under the tactical instructions given by Han Wenyuan, did not target Zou Kai and Chen Feng after the start of the second half.
Different defensive strategies were adopted. Although Han Wenyuan was not as good as Cao Yu in terms of tactical attainments, Han Wenyuan's luck was quite good. If he had misjudged either Zou Kai or Chen Feng,
People, maybe in just a few minutes in the second half, the Lions could win, and the entire game would become an exhibition match for the Lions. However, because of Han Wenyuan's good luck, he successfully judged
We identified the weaknesses of Zou Kai and Chen Feng and adopted targeted measures so that the two forwards could not pose a threat to the Wenyuan team's back line under different defensive tactics. Moreover, several attacks had no effect.
Later, Zou Kai became angry and shot in a way that he was not very good at. Because of this, the Wenyuan team played into the opponent's plan. The Wenyuan team launched a defensive counterattack, successfully scored and evened the score.
Everyone was very surprised by the changes that took place in the Wenyuan team in the second half. After all, Han Wenyuan had a fierce argument with the core trio during the halftime break, and throughout the first half, Han Wenyuan stood still.
A coach who is in a daze on the sidelines, saying nothing, and not formulating any tactics, can be said to be useless. But after the second half, Han Wenyuan, who does not seem to be very professional in coaching, actually responded to the situation in the first half.
Especially Zou Kai and Chen Feng made very correct analysis. After Wenyuan team tied the score, the game started to look better.
Among the people watching the game on the sidelines, the one who wanted to thank Han Wenyuan the most was Gu Liang. As the Goshawk team will face the Lions team in the first round of the official game, in fact, before Gu Liang watched this warm-up match,
Gu Liang agreed that the Lions' offensive and defensive capabilities were not very good. The only variable should be their coaches. Cao Yu, then he would only need to respond to the tactics Cao Yu might design.
. However, what Gu Liang didn't expect was that Cao You actually had two unexpected ace players, namely Chen Feng and Zou Kai. The performance of these two players exceeded Gu Liang's expectations, and they only watched the first half of the game.
For five minutes, Gu Liang would think that these two men would become forwards that would pose a major threat to his Goshawk team in official matches. For a while, he could not find a suitable way to limit the scoring of these two men.
However, as the second half started, Han Wenyuan adopted a targeted defensive strategy. In the first fifteen minutes, he successfully restricted the performance of Zou Kai and Chen Feng, making it impossible for the two of them to break through the defense and gain another goal.
Goal.
Gu Liang, who is also a coach, can naturally see what kind of defensive strategy Han Wenyuan uses to deal with Zou Kai and Chen Feng. Of course, he also sees the weaknesses of Zou Kai and Chen Feng. Gu Liang has already started to think about it.
The Eagles met the Lions in the official game, and when Cao Yu sent Zou Kai and Chen Feng, what method should he use to deal with it.
Cao You had actually considered this. After the Wenyuan team equalized the score, Cao You thought about training Zou Kai and Chen Feng, and gave them a few more minutes to let them think of their own solutions and see if they could
Being unable to find a way to break through the Wenyuan team's defensive formation was also a test for Zou Kai and Chen Feng.
However, it is a pity that, facing the impregnable defense of Wenyuan team, Zou Kai and Chen Feng failed to find a suitable opportunity in their second attack in the second half. In order not to give Gu Liang more time to analyze his team, Cao Yu finally
He gave instructions to replace the two forwards who started the game back on the field, and Zou Kai and Chen Feng were naturally replaced. In terms of physical strength, Zou Kai and Chen Feng did not play as much as the starting lineup.
There are more two forwards, and from the perspective of ability, although these two groups of forwards each scored a goal for the Lions, the difference is that the starting two forwards of the Lions scored points.
The method, in fact, relies more on Cao Yu's tactics to score points. As long as there is no accident and the opponent falls into Cao Yu's routine, the two forwards only need to appear in the designated position to score. On the other hand, Zou Kai and Chen
Feng, the way the two of them score points actually has certain requirements on their own abilities. After all, at that time,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Facing the opponent's defense, they are the only two people trying to break open the defense. It can be said that they are a perfect combination of personal ability and tactics. Therefore, from this aspect alone, Zou Kai and Chen Feng are actually better than the starting two forwards.
of the team members.
However, because Zou Kai and Chen Feng have targeted training, in terms of personal comprehensive ability, Zou Kai and Chen Feng actually do not have much advantage. In terms of defensive ability, in fact, Zou Kai and Chen Feng are not as good as the starting two.
As a forward, after comprehensive consideration, Cao You replaced Chen Feng and Zou Kai in order to avoid danger. At this time, Gu Liang, who was watching the game, felt a little unhappy, but he thought that the distance to the official game was no longer at most.
In a week, no matter how hard Zou Kai and Chen Feng train, it is probably very difficult to overcome all their shortcomings in such a short period of time. I have almost mastered the weaknesses of these two people.
He also felt from the bottom of his heart that if it were him, he would have replaced Zou Kai and Chen Feng.
After some explanations by Zhe Katsuyuki, all the leaders of the other teams present also agreed with Cao Yu's approach. After all, this was just a warm-up match. The real highlight, the one worthy of attention, was naturally the new Cuju.
It is the official competition of the competition, so choosing to hide your weaknesses at this time is a wise choice.
However, not everyone can understand Cao You's approach, especially Cao Yi, the leader of the Lions. If it were for other things, maybe Cao Guojiu could understand his son's painstaking efforts. However,
For Cao Yan, this Cuju warm-up match was the only one he didn't want to lose. He definitely couldn't stand Han Yonghe's mocking eyes.
And when Cao Yi approached Cao You and asked him about the substitution, he already knew that his father would definitely not be willing to accept it. He would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, so he explained to his father. In fact, he was doing the substitution just now.
At the same time, the two starting forwards have been told the defensive strategy that the Lions will adopt next. In other words, in the next fifteen minutes of the game, even if the Lions cannot find a chance to break through
Wenyuan team's gate, but at least the score must be kept at 2-2 until the end of the arm race. In this way, if it ends in a draw, Cao Yan will not lose face.
Uncle Cao Guo was not worried about his son's tactical ability, and Cao You was full of confidence when he spoke. It seemed that he had really found a way to limit the attack of the core trio of Wenyuan team. These three people actually
His ability is very outstanding, but now that the substitution is a foregone conclusion, Cao Yi can only make tactical adjustments based on Cao Yu's judgment of the situation.
Back on the court, the core trio headed by Xuchang were actually quite happy with Cao You's substitution, because Cao You's substitution meant that as long as they didn't show up defensively,
Unexpectedly, at least in this warm-up match, the Wenyuan team will not lose. What is left is to consider how to break through the Lions' defense in the last quarter of an hour and take the lead again to lay the foundation for this warm-up match.
's victory.
After thinking about this, Xu Chang was very excited after receiving the long pass from his goalkeeper. He thought about organizing an offensive immediately and scoring again.
However, after Xu Chang got the ball, he found that the Lions' defensive formation began to change. First, the two Lions starting forwards who had just been replaced had retreated to near the midfield.
The Lions' three midfielders and another forward were surrounded by four or five opposing defenders near the center line. The first line of defense had been established at such a forward position. Originally, Xu
Chang believes that the Lions team is actually more likely to use the same tactic as his own team, shrinking the defense line so that the Wenyuan team cannot break into the penalty area. However, he did not expect that their defensive front line would also be stretched at this time.
Near midfield.
Xu Chang planned to dribble the ball while thinking about how to break through the first line of defense. However, he didn't go far when he discovered subtle changes in the opponent's defensive formation. There were three defenders who were actually keeping one or two positions with him.
At the same time, he moves with the direction in which he is dribbling the ball. No matter which direction he is dribbling the ball forward or moving, the opponent's three midfield defenders can be said to move with him without moving an inch. In addition, there are
The two defensive players are located slightly further away from themselves. They are responsible for keeping one-on-one attention on their two friends, which are the other two core players of the Wenyuan team.
What is the purpose of this defensive tactic? Xu Chang came to the conclusion after thinking about it carefully. He tried to pass the ball to an ordinary player of the Wenyuan team in front of him on the right. However, staring at one of his defenders, Xu Chang saw After judging the direction of movement, he directly shifted his position and moved to the passing path in advance.
Later, Xuchang tried twice more, but was unable to pass the ball.
Lu Yao, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene and said: "It seems that it will not be easy for the Wenyuan team to score again in the last fifteen minutes."
Chen Chen and Pan Wen took a look at the situation on the field. Chen Chen, who is known for his strong defense, saw the defensive tactics adopted by the Lions. Chen Chen said: "The three Lions forwards all returned to their own half to defend. , this makes it very easy to formulate tactics. I think that Zou Kai and Chen Feng may not have strong marking skills, so I replaced them. If it was the two of them, they might not be able to mark those two. For the core forward, if you use a forward against a forward, you will at least not lose in terms of speed. As for the technical aspect, you can make up for it through the supplementary defense of other players."
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Well, the man-marking method is used to limit the performance of the two core forwards. However, the soul of this core trio is still in Xuchang. Because the three forwards return to defense, the number of The Lions' defensive players definitely have the advantage, and using three midfielders to move with Xuchang completely restricts Xuchang's passing routes and prevents him from organizing the offense well, which can destroy the culture. The attacking rhythm of the far team is now less than a quarter of an hour away from the end of the game, so using this method is a very correct choice."
"But," Pan Wen said from the side: "With only three people, it's impossible to stop all X Chang's passes, right?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, he can pass the ball back, and then pass it through the defender to other centers to organize the offense."
Lu Yao shook his head and said, "That's the problem. In fact, it's not impossible to use other centers to organize attacks. But you have to know that the abilities of the core trio of Wenyuan team are not the same as those of other ordinary players. In terms of level, that is to say, it is not that easy for ordinary players to cooperate with the core trio. This can be seen through the goal scored by the Wenyuan team in the first half. In fact, the Wenyuan team’s The first goal, from the attack, to the pass, and finally the volley, was actually completed by the core trio, without the participation of other players at all. In other words, it was probably during the training process There is no good tacit understanding between the core trio and the ordinary players. If they are forced to cooperate, it is likely to cause mistakes. Think back to the training situation of the Wenyuan team."
After hearing what Lu Yao said, Pan Wen thought for a while and said: "When you said this, I remembered that every time the Wenyuan team trained before, everyone trained together at the beginning, but every time at the end During the last half hour of training, the three core trio members trained individually."
"Do you think Cao You, who has always been careful, will not notice this?" Lu Yao said: "Since he dared to replace the two starting forwards back on the court and give up the offense, he must have someone who can let go of Wen Yao. The strategy of attacking from afar."
As soon as these words came out, Pan Wen and Chen Chen felt chilled. It seemed that the Lions were indeed an opponent that should not be underestimated.
Back on the playing field, everything was as Lu Yao and Cao Yu expected. Under the guard of three defensive players, Xu Chang had no chance to pass the ball to his two friends, and the two core forwards also had no chance to pass the ball to his two friends.
Being stared at by the two forwards of the starting Lions team, perhaps the forwards of the Lions team are not as fast as the two core players of the Wenyuan team, but because they have not made another move since the first half of more than 20 minutes.
Since coming on the field, plus the intermission until now, the two of them have actually rested for forty minutes, and the two core forwards of the Wenyuan team have been on the court from the beginning of the game until now, so,
In terms of physical strength, the two sides are almost the same. No matter how they run, they find that they can't get rid of the two forwards of the Lions. There is not much time left before the end of the game. It is useless to do too much now.
The running was tantamount to consuming one's own physical strength, and then there was really no way to score. So, the two once again placed their hopes on the soul member of the core trio, Xu Chang.
However, Xuchang was not having a good time at this time. Whether it was a breakthrough or a pass, Xuchang thought about it for a while and felt that he had no chance to break through the double-team of these three people. As for the pass, he wanted to pass it to himself.
Two friends, it seems impossible now, because the strategy adopted by the Lions is to block the triangle offense of their threesome. It is impossible to cooperate like in the first half, so what should we do now?
What to do?
In order to prevent himself from being distracted by thinking about strategies while dribbling the ball, and also to try the effect of other players organizing the offense, Xu Chang passed the ball back to the defender of the Wenyuan team behind him. The defender was officially called by Han Wen
One of the two substitutes in the second half, the defender probably never expected that Xuchang would actually pass the ball back. He was a little stunned for a while, but after all, he himself was the one who had just used the three-man zone defense tactic.
So he did not pass the Cuju back to Xuchang, but gave the ball to another Wenyuan team midfielder.
As for the center, while dribbling the ball forward, only one person was defending, and he was not under too much defensive pressure. Then, he gave the ball to another forward. This Wenyuan team's third forward
As a forward, it seems that the whole team wants him to complete this attack. Obviously, the core trio overestimated the ability of this player. As a forward, he was sent on the field by Han Wenyuan, and he was more of a support and containment.
Everyone knows that the Wenyuan team's offense must be completed by the two core forwards, so as another forward, he knows very well that he is just a role player on the court, and now he wants to
to complete this attack.
The striker dribbled the ball forward with a solemn expression. Cao You had already guessed that when the core trio was helpless, it would be left to other players to try to attack.
When the forward was about to bring the ball into the penalty area, two defenders ran towards him and double-teamed him.
The striker, who was already very nervous, panicked immediately. He didn't even think about finishing the shot. In a hurry, he planned to pass the ball to the core forward on the right, and this had also been passed by the Lions.
The team expected it, and the moment they passed the ball, they were intercepted by the Lions defenders, and the offense and defense switched again.
This time the Wenyuan team's attack has ended in failure so far. Xu Chang seemed very helpless. After all, the Wenyuan team's previous tactics were based on their trio, so in terms of offense, they really couldn't deal with it.
That role player made too many demands, and it was really difficult for them to complete the offense. Moreover, Xu Chang could also see from the pass just now that the Lions were determined to limit the attack.
The performance of the three of them, and on my side, during this period, I didn't think of a way to break the situation.
The Wenyuan team members' arrogance after scoring the previous goal was extinguished by the Lions' impeccable defense. They began to return to defense, fearing that the Lions would adopt the same defensive counterattack strategy as before.
However, after successfully stealing the ball, the Lions did not rush to advance to the frontcourt. Instead, they started short-distance passes in their own half and slowly advanced.
Xu Chang naturally knows what medicine the Lions are selling in the gourd. It is impossible for the Lions to break through the Wenyuan team's defense now. The reason why they do not rush to attack in their own half is because
Delay the time until the end of the game, hoping to end the game with a draw.
Xu Chang looked at his two friends, gave them a look, and the three of them started to take action again.
