Unlike everyone on the sidelines who were discussing endlessly, Cao You looked at the formations of both sides on the court and began to think about how to give his Lions a greater chance of winning.
Although the tactic used by Gu Liang is different from the previous grassroots teams in terms of formation and offensive methods, overall it is still a defensive counterattack formation. So for the Lions, what they have to consider is not the opponent.
As for the means of counterattack, once the opponent is able to form a counterattack, it must mean that their defense is in place, but their offensive players are not able to break through the opponent's defense and find opportunities. Among the eight participating teams, no matter which team they are, as long as they form a counterattack
, the opportunity to create a one-on-one goal should not be missed.
The difficulty lies in how to break through the current defense line established by the opponent. Once the defensive system is broken through, it will be more difficult to form a new formation to deal with the opponent's attack. If one or two goals are lost as a result, it will be even more difficult.
Needless to say, this was how Wangcai team played before. In the first half of the first half, Wangcai team was able to play back and forth, but once the opponent Wenyuan team scored a goal, the entire team became confused.
It turned into a mess. Although the capabilities of the Goshawk team are naturally not comparable to that of the Wangcai team, the conclusion is the same. As long as the team that focuses on defense is breached by the opponent, its morale and formation will be at an absolute disadvantage.
Because the weather and sunshine did not have any substantial impact on him in this game, and considering the trend of the game, Cao Yu decisively chose to get the right to attack at the beginning. He wanted to be the first to let the team open up the situation.
, thus occupying the absolute initiative on the court.
As Cao You's opponent, Gu Liang of the Goshawks was also waiting with bated breath for the Lions to kick off. He couldn't help but turn around and look at the players under his command. It could be said that he was leading the team.
The soldier who came out was filled with emotions. Before, when he first met Zhe Kexing, he was considered a passionate young man. However, later on, he was trapped in the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty that emphasized culture over martial arts, and the income was not high.
, and when the world was peaceful and no one was thinking about war, the entire army and military discipline gradually became lax. Gu Liang was not a god, nor did he have such lofty beliefs. When the surrounding environment changed
, he chose to go with the flow, so later on, Gu Liang didn't like Zhe Ke's behavior.
However, when Zhe Kexing faced the current situation in the army, his choice was completely different from Gu Liang's. It's not that Zhe Kexing had any noble beliefs. It's just that Zhe Kexing believed that people can't be inactive for the rest of their lives.
You have to do something in whatever position you hold. Even if you are an ordinary soldier, you must fulfill your responsibilities, not be late for training, and complete training tasks. This is what you should do as a soldier.
Zhe Kexing's behavior did not affect Gu Liang at first, but what really changed him was the previous lectures given by Zhe Kexing as an instructor at the palace training ground, and what happened to Zhe Kexing and all their team members at that time.
That running game.
Gu Liang lost. He lost to someone he had never liked very much. Moreover, he lost completely. He lost on his most proud physical strength. From then on, Gu Liang's point of view began to change.
He originally thought that Zhe Kexing became the instructor because of his relationship with Lu Yao. As for his ability, he himself probably didn’t have much. However, Zhe Kexing proved with his actual actions that he felt that he had
Qualified to be this instructor. From that time on, Gu Liang also secretly set a goal. No matter who he lost to, he did not want to lose to this soldier who could be said to have been brought up by himself. Therefore, since the establishment of the Goshawk Team, Gu Liang has been very
Work hard. In the early days, Master Han Qi was still in charge of some Goshawk team affairs, but those were just superficial efforts, including the formulation of the team uniforms and the selection of the team name, which were all decided by Han Qi himself.
But once professional things are designed, such as tactics, coaches, and team members' training, it's not that Han Qi doesn't want to take care of it. It can be said that Han Qi is really powerless. Maybe the independence of Daxia did not happen. Han Qi
Qi should be able to participate in the Goshawk team's training throughout the whole process, but things have to be focused. Han Qi's focus in the later period was directly involved in the affairs between Song and Xia. Until later, he was directly sent to the border by the emperor.
Already.
As a result, the burden of the Goshawk team fell on Gu Liang's shoulders. Gu Liang still remembered that Han Qi specifically found Gu Liang and told him about the new Cuju competition before leaving Bianliang.
Han Qi also knew in his heart that compared to playing Cuju, not only Gu Liang, but every member of the Goshawk team was a soldier led by Han Qi himself. Of course, they hoped to be able to gallop on the battlefield and make contributions. As soldiers,
Gu Liang was keenly aware that there would definitely be a battle between Song and Xia. This was unavoidable. As for other things, they were not something the soldiers had to consider. However, Han Qi did not bring Gu Liang with him this time.
They went, firstly, because although the purpose of this trip was to reserve strength in a practical sense, on the surface it was still the peace talks between Song and Xia, so it was really not appropriate to bring too many close friends there. Secondly, Han Qi also felt that this new Cuju competition
It is also very important. Firstly, it is for his face as a high-ranking official. Secondly, if the Goshawk team can go further in this new Cuju competition or show its own strength, it may be easier to recruit soldiers.
.Han Qi had much more on his mind than Gu Liang.
Having said that, Han Qi did not participate in the Goshawk team's training on weekdays, so he found Gu Liang to inquire about the team's training situation. However, at that time, Gu Liang had already watched two warm-up matches.
To be honest, it is impossible to say that he is absolutely sure of entering the finals. Therefore, when faced with Han Qi's question, Gu Liang chose to tell the truth. Han Qi was not angry, and he told Gu Liang not to
No matter the pressure, as long as you exert your full strength, it doesn't matter even if you are eliminated in the first round.
The more Han Qi said this, the more Gu Liang felt that he could not embarrass Han Qi. So, after Han Qi left Bianliang, not only Gu Liang, but also the morale of the entire Goshawk team rose instead of falling, and they began crazy training
, this training is not only reflected on the field, as a big boss, Gu Liang actually read the manuscript about the coach given by Lu Yao no less than ten times. It can be said that in terms of tactical attainments, Gu Liang should be
You can compete with Cao You and Chen Chen.
However, although Gu Liang has read a lot of manuscripts, he also knows that in terms of cultural background and resourcefulness, there is no way to compare with Cao You. Cao You is naturally better in this aspect. However, Gu Liang also
It is clear where the advantages of yourself and the Goshawks lie, and that is physical strength and endurance.
In this case, Gu Liang decided to give full play to his team's advantages in this game. In terms of physical endurance, among the eight teams, no team should be stronger than the Goshawk team. After all, they are all soldiers.
Even if he runs the entire game without a break, there will be no problem. This is one of the important reasons why Gu Liang uses defensive counterattacks.
Of course, just defending is not enough. Gu Liang knows very well. Especially after he watched the game between the Grassroots Team and the Huangtian Team on the sidelines, Gu Liang became more determined in this idea. If a team only defends, like Chen Chen, in the end
It is likely to become a situation of chronic death. However, the biggest difference between the Grassroots team and the Goshawks is that although both sides are teams that focus on defensive counterattacks, when it comes to counterattacks, the Grassroots team has really many offensive players.
There were too few, so on the premise of ensuring defense, Gu Liang still wanted to win this game, and this decided that his forward must be a person with outstanding offensive ability and all-round skills. Obviously.
, Gu Liang didn’t trust anyone who gave him this task, so he had to do it by himself, so he naturally found himself in the position of the Goshawks’ lone forward. He hoped to create opportunities for himself through the defense of his teammates.
He personally completes the offense. It is precisely because of this that during training, Gu Liang focuses more of his training on offense. After all, as a forward, there are only a handful of times when he can really join the defense. More
The reason is because Gu Liang is very confident about the defensive abilities of his teammates. He feels that no matter what tactics Cao Yu adopts, he can resolve them.
At this point, it can be said that both sides of the battle, whether it is Cao You or Gu Liang, feel that they actually have a great chance to win this game. Of course, they do not underestimate the other party. This can be seen from the new formation they used in the opening game.
You can see it.
The whistle of the game made the two people whose minds were a little far away return their focus to the game. The game officially started, and Cao You's Lions kicked off.
"Zou Kai and Chen Feng should be said to have become the two absolute cores of the Lions' offense now. Logically speaking, the offense should revolve around them. However, with this formation of the Lions, I still think they are in the midfield.
Too many people have been invested.”
As Han Wenyuan, who had played against the Lions in a warm-up match before, he knew very well that with Cao Yu's ability, it was very possible to quickly improve the abilities of Zou Kai and Chen Feng during this period, but he had some
I don't understand why the Lions put the focus on the midfield this time.
"Those two people are really good. You can tell from the warm-up match," Zhe Kexing said to Han Wenyuan: "But in the last warm-up match, you should also know that these two people also have some shortcomings.
Yes, although they have strong offensive capabilities, they are still somewhat out of tune with the Lions as a whole in terms of organization and passing. Of course, two of them were sent to start this game. I think Cao You has already solved this problem, that is, using these five midfielders
The field configuration is to assist the two of them, so that Zou Kai and Chen Feng can launch attacks in their best offensive areas."
While Han Wenyuan was looking at the situation on the field, he had already begun to think about how his team could limit the offense of the two twin stars Zou Kai and Chen Feng? What he was thinking about now was exactly how the Lions could
Think about it from the perspective of winning this game.
The situation on the field was not as Gu Liang imagined. The opponent would attack wildly as soon as the game started. On the contrary, the Lions were very patient and began to pass the ball continuously in the midfield. As long as the Goshawks players did not take the initiative to attack.
, they didn’t seem to want to launch an attack quickly.
Obviously, the Lions are patiently looking for opportunities. This is also in line with Cao You's character. He patiently looks for opportunities. When he actually launches an attack, he must give the enemy a fatal blow. It seems that Cao You's tactics are
Attacking the position, Gu Liang thought about this, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"This may disappoint you. What our team is least afraid of is positional attack. This kind of slow attack has no effect on us." Gu Liang thought to himself.
Lu Yao looked at the situation on the field, shook his head, and said: "Although Cao You's tactics are positional offense, which is also in line with their Lions team's consistent style of seeking stability, but the opponent they face this time is the Goshawk team.
What's more, the opponent has a defensive formation. In terms of physical strength and endurance, the Goshawks obviously have the upper hand. Therefore, one side is not in a hurry to attack, and the other side is also able to defend with ease. If this is the case
If we continue, I'm afraid the game will become a tug-of-war."
"I think the tug-of-war is very beneficial to the Goshawks." Chen Chen also expressed his opinion. "In this game, although the Lions players seemed to be passing the ball carelessly, the opponent had no intention of actively grabbing it. But
The formations of both sides are constantly changing. While passing the ball, it can be said that all other members of the Lions are slowly approaching the opponent's half court, and the positions of the players on the field are also beginning to change.
Changes. However, the Goshawks will only start to move within a reasonable range. However, the overall direction and formation of the Goshawks have not changed."
"The situation is developing in a direction that is favorable to the Goshawks," even Pan Wen could see. "The longer the time drags on, the harder it will be for the Lions to open up the situation."
At this time, Cao You on the sidelines began to think of what Lu Yao wrote in his manuscript about positional offense.
"When attacking in a positional position, the opponent's defensive players are all in position. What we have to do is to pass the ball and the movement of the players to create a gap, and finally complete the shot. The organization of the attack, no matter what the formation, is a combination of the side and the center, not the left side.
On the right, you can't play in the center from the wing. What you have to do is to read the game and make the most reasonable choice based on the changes on the field. There are two main options for positional offense, one is the wing and the other is the center. You chose the center.
, then the side road is the direction of your feint attack. The purpose is to attract the opponent's defensive forces to the side road, so that there is a gap in the middle road. That is, when attacking the side road, you should aim at the gap in the middle road. On the contrary, choose the side road and the middle road.
This is the direction of your feint attack. But remember, no matter whether you are on the wing or in the center, you must eventually hand the ball to the feet of your center, which is the top of the arc of the opponent's penalty area. Holding the ball at this position can both divide the sides and
You can attack directly. Here comes the key point. All your previous operations are to move the opponent's midfielder from this position and let your center directly face the opponent's center back. If the midfielder is in position, don't easily pass the ball
Give yourself a center, otherwise you will fall into the opponent's circle. There must be a change of rhythm. The pass from the backcourt to the midfield must be fast. The midfield is the strategic fulcrum of the offense. Once the ball reaches the midfield, the principle of passing the ball needs to be grasped.
Just keep an eye on the pass and don't rush forward, because at this time, there are only two situations. One is that your players haven't pressed forward yet, and the other is that even if they come forward, there will be defensive players from the opponent around him, so the first priority at this time is
The most important thing is to control the ball and observe the running of your teammates. Of course, they are not wooden stakes. There will definitely be players rushing towards your ball carrier. What needs to be analyzed at this time is whether the opponent is double-teaming you. If so,
Pinch, quickly release the ball. If you are pressing one player, see if you can break through him. All you have to do at this time is to create opportunities for continuous shots with your running players, usually in front of you.
If there are more than three kicks on the field, the opponent's defensive formation will be disrupted, and then the gap will appear."
"Go from the left!" After thinking for a while, Cao You finally gave the first instruction after the opening. At this time, the first half of the game had already gone on for a quarter of an hour, and the Lions still chose to take their time.
Pass the ball, but the Goshawks are still ready.
Hearing Cao You's shouting, the Lions also started their own attack. It can't be said that they haven't tried it before, but they failed to break through the opponent's defense every time. Once or twice, they were even almost defeated by the opponent.
Stealing and counterattacking, in this case the Lions players had no choice but to pass the ball back and return the ball to the midfielder. This goes on and on, and time passes.
The direction of attack proposed by Cao You this time is to find opportunities through the pull of the wing. After all, he cannot continue to be in a stalemate with the opponent. He wants to find opportunities through the wing. After all, there are two front lines in front of him.
Standing were the two offensive heroes, Zou Kai and Chen Feng.
After hearing Cao Yu's instructions, the entire Lions' formation and passing routes began to tilt toward the left. Of course, their opponent, the Goshawks, naturally understood their intentions, so the defensive formation also began to tilt toward the left.
Tilt, and for Chen Feng's defense on the right, only one or two defenders were left, and it was not a very close marking.
Through transmission, although the Goshawks tried to cut off the connection between the Lions center and Zou Kai, the Lions had five players in the midfield and could always find suitable passing opportunities. Finally, after ten minutes,
After the confrontation, Cuju successfully reached Zou Kai's feet.
It was finally time for her to perform, Zou Kai thought in his mind. However, he was not happy for long. In fact, in the next second, two defenders appeared beside him to help defend her.
Zou Kai didn't change his expression. In fact, since the last warm-up match, Cao You had specially trained him and Chen Feng. If the defender himself was not good enough, he was able to pass, shoot, and dribble.
On the other hand, Zou Kai and Chen Feng have grown into very good forwards, even as good as Xuchang's core trio in this aspect.
I saw Zou Kai feint to the left, and then he passed the ball with a beautiful pass, directly throwing away a defender. This was obviously beyond Gu Liang's expectation. However, the offensive abilities of Zou Kai and Chen Feng
He also knew that, so he sent the fastest and most physically fit defender in the team to the back line to be responsible for the defense of the two wings.
Therefore, although he was passed by Zou Kai, another defender was always close to Zou Kai. In this case, he had no way to break through and complete the shot on his own, and the range within which he could move was gradually reduced.
Except for Zou Kai and Chen Feng, Gu Liang feels that there are very few people in the Lions team who can complete the shot alone. If there is indeed a chance for a header in the penalty area, but when it comes to long shots outside the penalty area, they should
It's only right that there are no such shooter-type players. After all, I have watched every training session of the Lions, and I have some understanding of their players' shooting abilities.
It was precisely because of this judgment that Gu Liang focused more on the marking of Zou Kai and Chen Feng in defense.
However, he ignored one thing. Although Cao You shouted this attack from the left, in fact, was the Lions' understanding of this attack from the left really the same as Gu Liang's own thoughts?
?The next second, Zou Kai didn't panic and suddenly started to open up some positional gaps. At this time, he was almost at the left baseline position and could only choose to pass the ball. However, the penalty area was already full.
Without the Goshawks' defender, the Lions, who did not have the height advantage, had no way to complete a header shot in this situation. However, Zou Kai still chose to pass the ball.
However, Gu Liang discovered from this passing route that the ball was not passed to the midfielder, but to the other side, namely Chen Feng.
Because the previous defensive formation moved closer to the left, and Chen Feng did not choose to enter the penalty area in the end, there was only one defensive player beside him at this time. When Cuju fell and Chen Feng received it, he was facing him.
The defensive player was not in a hurry, and directly used his speed to distance himself. He brought the ball one step inside the penalty area, and at that moment before the two defensive players arrived to steal, he took the opportunity to hit the goal.
Gu Liang closed his eyes at that second. As a striker, he knew the quality of the ball.
