Chapter 213 The draw ends

The palace, the playing field.

The second warm-up match of the new Cuju Competition was between the Wenyuan team and the Lions team. It can be said that it was a personal grudge match between Han Yonghe, the minister of state, and Cao Guoshu, a relative of the emperor. Everyone originally thought that this match was adulterated.

A game of personal emotions should be uninteresting.

Even in ancient times, this kind of game mixed with personal emotions was despised by most people. However, as the game progressed, everyone discovered that the game between the two teams was not as boring as imagined.

.Whether it is the personal strength of the Wenyuan team’s core trio or the Lions’ Cao Yu’s tactical ability, there is much for them to learn.

And now, the game has entered the 25th minute of the second half, and there are still five minutes left before this second warm-up match will be completely over. The score on the field is now two to two, and the two sides are tied. In fact, since the second half, Wen

After the Yuan team made adjustments, the two main forwards of the Lions at that time, Zou Kai and Chen Feng, were no longer able to attack effectively under Han Wenyuan's successful tactical predictions. Every time they attacked, they were defeated by the Wenyuan team.

After defending, the Wenyuan team took advantage of Zou Kai's unstable mentality to launch a defensive counterattack, successfully breaking through the Lions' gate and evening the score to 2-2. However, this was the only chance of success in the second half until now.

One goal was much less than the three goals in the first half.

This is because after Cao You found that his two forwards, Zou Kai and Chen Feng, could not score, he replaced the two starting forwards of the Lions, and when he took control of the ball, he also changed his tactics.

, which means that he has completely given up on offense. He pinned his hopes on his team's defense. He hopes to maintain the two-to-two score until the end of the game through his changes in defense. In this way, the pressure is on the contrary.

When it comes to the Wenyuan team, compared to the Cao family, they have now thoroughly analyzed the Cao family's forward capabilities and have successfully made the opponent lose their offensive capabilities. Therefore, the draw outcome is unacceptable to the Wenyuan team.

. Especially the core trio headed by Xu Chang. For this game, the three of them went into it with a winning mentality. If it really ended in a draw, they might suffer after the game.

He was reprimanded and even looked down upon by other team members.

Therefore, the Wenyuan team also adopted corresponding strategies in response to the Lions' delaying tactics. However, in terms of tactics, Cao Yu was still slightly better at this time. He had already guessed that the Wenyuan team would take advantage of the frontcourt.

Pressing the ball, his defense made mistakes due to pressure, and then he could only use the ability of long passes to hand the ball to the midfielders. Therefore, under the command of Cao You, the two sides switched offense and defense several times, who

They didn't take advantage, and the game began to become anxious. If it had been the day before, I believe no one would have thought that these two teams from the lower half of the district, which were not very strong, would bring a lot of trouble at this time.

A wonderful offensive and defensive battle.

Although the two sides have been engaged in a game on both offense and defense, five minutes before the end of the arm game, the ball was once again in the hands of the Lions. At this time, Cao You felt that the time was ripe for the Lions.

Generally speaking, they can use this opportunity to launch a wave of positional attacks to compress time, just like Chen Chen’s shot in yesterday’s warm-up match, and use the last time to score a goal. This will not give the Wenyuan team

Leave some time to defend.

When Xu Chang saw the Lions starting to slowly advance the front line, he instantly understood what the opponent wanted to do. He immediately shouted, "Adopt a retractive defense!"

I saw that the players of the Wenyuan team also changed their previous behavior of taking the initiative to press forward. They began to retreat collectively, and finally set up a defensive formation in front of the penalty area. This was exactly what the Wenyuan team adopted after the start of the second half.

, a defensive formation used to limit Zou Kai and Chen Feng's offense. Although this defensive formation shrinks the defense line more seriously, it can minimize the opponent's chances of passing the ball and scoring near the penalty area.

The reason why Xu Chang adopted this strategy was the conclusion he came to after discussing with Han Wenyuan during the halftime break. At that time, after analyzing Zou Kai and Chen Feng, Han Wenyuan immediately said that the Lions' offense basically

They are all done inside the penalty area. Whether it is Zou Kai or Chen Feng, or their two starting forwards, they have almost never used long-range shots. If this is the case, they will adopt a defensive strategy of shrinking the defense line.

It might be effective.

Judging from the effect of the second half, the Lions team is indeed weak in long-range shooting ability. Therefore, Xu Changcai boldly adopted this defensive formation again in the last five minutes. A feeling of dissatisfaction first arose in his heart.

I am willing to feel that now, it is impossible for the Wenyuan team to win this warm-up match. There are only five minutes left in the game. There is no doubt that the opponent will use these five minutes to complete the final.

An attack. And all he can do now is to ensure that his team does not concede the ball and end the warm-up match with a draw. Although Mr. Han and Mr. Han may blame themselves and their two friends for this result, they really

I have tried my best and have nothing to regret. However, if the Lions score a goal in the last five minutes of this game and complete the victory, then I will not be able to accept it at all.

Xu Chang and his two friends loudly cheered for his teammates and asked everyone to guard the last five minutes. In fact, the other ordinary team members had some prejudice against these three people at the beginning, but this time

At this point in the game, these people have seen the performance of Xu Chang and the others. In terms of technology, they are indeed better than themselves, but in terms of leadership and adaptability, these three people have done nothing.

Wrong, in that case, if someone is better than you, you should get more wages, isn't that what you should do?

After the other members of the Wenyuan team figured this out, they also focused all their attention on defending the Lions.

As for the Lions, the pressure is much less. After all, after they made personnel changes and replaced Zou Kai and Chen Feng, their goal was to end the game with a draw. Now it seems

, in fact, their goal has been achieved, the last five

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

Minutes, the opponent will definitely not be able to come up with any new tricks, and time will not allow them to complete anything like a decisive blow. But on our side, there are still a few minutes left, and we can use this attack to complete a decisive victory.

.

On one side was the relaxed Lions team, and on the other side was the tense Wenyuan team. In this way, the two sides entered the decisive battle in the last five minutes.

At this time, the three people on the commentary desk were rare and silent at the same time. This was because they, like the people watching the game, also wanted to take a closer look at what changes would happen on the field.

"Now that the game has progressed, it is no longer a competition of who is stronger and who is weaker." Lu Yao said on the sidelines.

Five minutes passed quickly. Half a minute before the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Lions tried a long shot. The result was self-evident. They used something they were not good at.

method to attack, and the final shot missed. The reason for choosing this method in the end is of course related to the Wenyuan team's strict defense, which will never allow the Lions to get any offensive opportunities in the penalty area.

However, as the shot went wide, the game was basically declared over. With more than ten seconds left, after the Wenyuan team's goalkeeper kicked the ball out, the referee Zhan Zhao

The whistle was blown to end the game, and the Wenyuan team had no chance to organize another wave of offense.

Just like that, the game ended, and the score between the two sides was fixed at 2 to 2. It was the same score as yesterday's first warm-up match between the Fanlou team and the Grassroots team. The only difference was that in yesterday's game,

Only one goal was scored in the first half, and three goals were scored in the second half. In today's second warm-up match, the number of goals in the first and second half was completely reversed. There were three goals in the first half, and three goals in the second half.

Only one goal was scored. Even so, the intensity of today's game was no worse than yesterday's. On the contrary, because everyone's expectations for yesterday's game were high, but their expectations for today's game were relatively low, so today's game was

The second warm-up match brought everyone an even bigger surprise.

After the game, the three commentators first expressed their opinions. Among them, Su Shi and Su Zhe naturally took everyone to review the four goals in the game. After all, there was no game replay, so everyone just

Through the commentary of these two brothers and with your own memories and imagination, you can review these four goals.

After Su Shi and Su Che reviewed the four goals, they once again asked Zhe Kexing what he thought of the game. Unlike these two people who were more concerned about the goals, Zhe Kexing focused on only one goal.

During the second half of the goal.

Zhe Kexing said: "The two of us have different opinions. For me, the most exciting part of this game actually started after Cao Yu replaced Zou Kai and Chen Feng. Although at the end of the second half,

In a quarter of an hour, neither side scored a goal, but during this period, the tactical transformation and offensive and defensive abilities displayed by both sides were all vividly demonstrated. I can't help but look forward to the performance of these two teams in the official game.

"

When Su Shi and Su Che heard what Zhe Kexing said, they knew that this guy was just like before, saying he was luxurious to please both sides, but they were already used to it. Then, it was time to dig holes. Su Shi said: "I don't know, Instructor Zhe,

Which of the two teams do you think performed better in today’s game?”

Originally, Su Shi and Su Che had already made preparations for both Zhe Kexing and Guild to say some good words. Who knew that this time, Zhe Kexing would give his own point of view at the end of the game.

"From my own point of view, after watching the entire game, what I like more is the performance of the Wenyuan team."

As soon as these words came out, Su Shi and Su Che obviously didn't expect it. When they saw Zhe Kexing looking towards them, the two of them realized it, so Su Shi said in a hurry: "Oh? Why did instructor Zhe say this? Today

In my opinion, the strength of the Lions team is not as good as that of the Wenyuan team. After the Wenyuan team mastered the offensive method of their forwards, they still tenaciously persisted until the end of the game and did not let the Wenyuan team break through their home team again.

Although it is not a victory of the weak against the strong, they have completed their mission, why are you still optimistic about the Wenyuan team?"

Zhe Katsuyuki said: "I give this result because of the performance of the Lions in the last five minutes. Before the last five minutes, both sides can be said to be very similar in terms of tactical execution ability and offensive and defensive conversion ability. It can be said that in

Between them. However, looking at the last five minutes alone, the Wenyuan team performed much better than the Lions. We must know that the Wenyuan team had internal strife in the midfield. Now that the game is over, I

It can be said. That is, Han Wenyuan had a conflict with the core trio and other players, and this kind of problem was very fatal during the game. However, he solved the problem perfectly in the second half,

Especially in the last five minutes, facing the Lions' last attack, the Wenyuan team showed great unity and defended under the command of the core trio. In the end, the Lions were not allowed to score a goal and ended in a draw.

The way to end the game, in terms of tactical execution and the concentration of the players in the last five minutes, the Wenyuan team is definitely better."

Su Zhe was a little confused and said, "But, I think the Lions had no problems throughout the whole game."

"No," Zhe Kexing on the commentary table looked at Su Che and said, "Their problem lies in their attitude. It is precisely because of their attitude that I just said that I am more optimistic about the Wenyuan team. You guys

You know, in fact, after Zou Kai and Chen Feng came off the field, I think Cao You's original goal was to maintain the tie until the end of the game. Obviously, five minutes before the end of the game, when the Lions launched their last attack

, they have completed this task. At that time, they controlled the ball and advanced. The time was just right to complete the last attack."

"Yes, in the end they found an opportunity just before the end and took a long-range shot, but it missed. Does this have anything to do with their attitude?" Su Shi asked.

Zhe Kexing continued: "You can think about it, in this game of the Lions, except for Zou Kai's two long-range shots,

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

In addition, there has never been a long-range shot again, which shows that the Lions are not a team good at long-range shots. At the last moment of the game, in your opinion, the Lions found an opportunity and grabbed the position to take a long-range shot.

But in my opinion, that shot was more or less a flaw deliberately exposed by the Wenyuan team to the Lions. They knew that there was no problem in letting the Lions take a long shot, because they simply couldn't score."

As soon as Zhe Kexing said this, Su Shi and Su Che were stunned on the spot. It turned out that the Wenyuan team was also so good in tactics.

Zhe Kexing sighed and said: "In fact, it is not difficult for us to find that the tactics adopted by the Wenyuan team in the last five minutes are actually the same as the formation that restricted Zou Kai and Chen Feng at the beginning of the second half. By shrinking the defense

, it seems to be making their defense line retreat, but in fact, it is strengthening the defense around the penalty area. I think the reason why they dared to use such tactics before the end of the game is that they have accurately calculated the Lions' offensive methods.

, it’s more done through shots inside the penalty area.”

"As you said, facing a defense like Wenyuan's, it's normal that the Lions can't score points."

Zhe Kexing smiled and said: "I don't believe that the Lions players have no thinking ability. The same tactics were used once at the beginning of the second half and again before the end of the game. They really

Is there no way to break through? I don't think so. Is it because they can't break through, or do they not want to break through? Even if Cao You really didn't find a way to break through this defensive formation for a while, the Lions' state on the court

, and it definitely shouldn’t be like this.”

Having said this, Su Shi also somewhat understood the meaning of Zhe Ke Xinghua, and said: "So, instructor Zhe, what you mean is that the members of the Lions team know that the game will be over soon, and they have the last opportunity to attack, and

Because they have completed the task of ending the game in advance, they do not want to break through the Wenyuan team's defensive formation."

"Yes, their mentality has changed during the last attack, because they feel that they are invincible, and this is what their coach told them in the second half, so it is equivalent to saying that it is completed now.

If the specified goal is achieved, then it doesn’t matter whether this last attack can achieve results. This kind of lax attitude must never appear in this kind of game. This kind of attitude must not appear until the last moment of the game.

A change in mentality can ruin the overall situation if you are not careful. The reason why I am more optimistic about the Wenyuan team is precisely because I do not believe that such low-level mistakes will appear in a team with very strong tactical execution like the Lions.

, I think Mr. Cao You has discovered this problem by now."

After hearing what Zhe Kexing said, not only Su Shi and Su Zhe, but everyone on the sidelines also looked at the area where the Lions were.

At this time, Cao Guoshu breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't care what the players' mentality was at the end of the game. For him, the most important thing was the result of this warm-up match. At the beginning of the second half, the attack

It had no effect. After Zou Kai and Chen Feng were replaced, Cao Yan thought he would lose the game. Fortunately, it ended in a draw, and because it was a warm-up match, there was no overtime or penalty shootout.

, so in this duel between himself and Han Yonghe, no one took advantage.

However, as the real person in charge and coach of the Lions, Cao You looked very ugly at this time. With his keen mind, how could he not have noticed the poor performance of his players in the last five minutes of the game.

At this time, he was scolding his team members.

"As a member of the Cuju team, especially a member of the Lions team, you must have a winning mentality at all times and cannot just be satisfied with the things in front of you. This is the reason why you are still just a common people until now.

.”

At first, Cao You still scolded them loudly, but in the end, his voice also became softer. Yes, they are just ordinary people who took their own wages and joined this Cuju movement for no apparent reason.

, they also completed the task that I gave them to maintain a tie and end the game very well. For them, it seems that I really don’t need to ask them to do such a thing.

Cao You was thinking this, and when his Lions team members heard the voices of their coaches, they began to apologize one after another, saying that when the official game came, they would never let Cao You down.

Compared to the Lions, the Wenyuan team had another scene after the game.

Uncle Cao Guo breathed a sigh of relief, while Han Yonghe was furious. Obviously, Han Yonghe was very unwilling to see the game end with such a score. After all,

Our own Wenyuan team has a top core trio, and judging from the fact that Wenyuan team equalized the score not long after the start of the second half, the strength of Wenyuan team is indeed higher than that of the Lions. But since Wenyuan team

After the Yuan team scored the goal and the Lions made personnel adjustments, the Wenyuan team had no chance to organize a decent attack in the following time. The ball was always under the control of the Lions until the end.

There was no chance to expand the score again. Thinking that his wish to laugh at Cao Guojiu had failed, Han Yonghe became very angry. Originally, he thought about scolding Xu Chang and the three of them, but when

He saw the members of the core trio take the initiative to find Han Wenyuan to admit his mistake after they got off the field, but he didn't know what to say.

Xu Chang and other three people came to Han Wenyuan and lowered their heads, saying that they failed to score another goal in the last minute and that the responsibility for not winning this game was all on the three of them. Han Wenyuan actually laughed.

Laughing, it means that the person with the greatest responsibility is naturally himself. If he hadn't said nothing in the first half, it wouldn't have turned into a draw in the end.

Xu Chang and three others also won the respect of other ordinary players of the Wenyuan team because of their wonderful performance in this game. The atmosphere in the team was harmonious. Seeing this, Han Yonghe could only accept the current result.
