This was the last official game of the first round. Before the new Cuju competition officially started, Lu Yao and Zhao Zhen discussed the order of the four games. It was at that time that Lu Yao transferred Chen Chen’s grassroots team to
The game was changed from the second game to the first. Because of this matter, Lu Yao was still expressing his apology to Chen Chen just now. Indeed, the two teams playing in the first game were under a lot of pressure, and their training time was also
There are fewer than other teams, which makes the grassroots team that does not have an advantage in terms of hard power even worse. Of course, Chen Chen also knows in his heart that this is to maintain the popularity of the new Cuju competition. The emperor came to the scene to watch the competition in person, so naturally
I want to watch the game of the Huangtian team below me. Therefore, it is very normal to put the Huangtian team's game into the first game. Facts have proved that Lu Yao's decision is very correct. Now, as long as there are games at the Bird's Nest Stadium, it is basically
The scene above was overcrowded. Even the food court run by his father next to the stadium was very prosperous, earning a lot of income every day. Because Zhao Zhen's presence in the first game made all the people of Bianliang happy.
He has developed a strong interest in Cuju. Although it cannot be said that every household is practicing Cuju now, the discussion about this game has gradually become louder.
What's more, Chen Chen knew that he still had a chance to win the first game. It was his ineffectiveness and failure to control his mentality that led to the grassroots team's defeat in the final penalty shootout. No wonder.
Others cannot blame Lu Yao for adjusting the order of the game.
Lu Yao already said in his conversation with Zhao Zhen that the first and fourth games of this first round of competition were the most important. Needless to say, the importance of the first game. Zhao Zhen personally came to supervise the battle, and the emperor and the people
Tongle, as long as he is present, everyone can pay attention to the new Cuju competition. And this fourth game, which is the last game of the first round, is also very important for this competition. After all, in this first round
After a round of games, there will be a one-week offseason. During this period, although the food court next to it will remain open for business as usual, the Bird's Nest Stadium will be in a closed stage. No teams will train here, nor will they be here.
Organize the competition. Naturally, the teams that advance in the first round can choose a day to train at the Bird's Nest Stadium before the start of the second round. This is something Lu Yao has decided before, in order to allow them to train in the Bird's Nest Stadium.
In the second round, the team's strength has further improved. He wants the audience to see that as the game continues, the team's level is also constantly improving. At the same time, the football betting stakes will also continue to increase. This is a win-win situation.
At the same time, after the first round of competition, we will face the stage of announcing the results of the imperial examination. Of course, only the results of the general examination and the list of candidates who entered the imperial examination will be announced this time, and the ranking of the results will not be announced.
Yao is not worried at all about being able to enter the palace examination. In addition to this, Lu Yao has another thing to consider, and that is the Cao family's martial arts competition to recruit a bride. According to Cao Ping, they have set a date for the martial arts competition to recruit a bride.
, it was after the second round of the official game. Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but think. If the Cao family wins today's game, then the second round of the game will be the Wenyuan team against the Lions. These two rival teams.
Let’s meet again. After this game is over, it should be the martial arts competition. After all the games are over, there will be the palace examination. After that, it will be the wedding day of Lu Yao and Han Yunyu. And he must be there.
After the second round of the competition, the Cao family holds a competition to recruit a bride. Only by doing something can we ensure that Cao Han will not marry Fu Shaolong in the end.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Lu Yao is now learning Kung Fu from Fang Zhuang every night, and then he is waiting for Zhang Mou to come back from Hebei to see if he can bring Jintai back.
Talking back to the Cuju Competition, in addition to the shock to the audience in the first game, there is a week's rest between the first and second rounds, which requires the organizers of the event, Lu Yao, to stay during this week
To prevent the audience's enthusiasm from cooling down. To do this, the most direct way is to make headlines in the last game of the first round. Therefore, when choosing the order of the battle, both Lu Yao and Zhao Zhen knew that they had to
The game between the Lions and the Goshawks was placed in the last game of the first round. Lu Yao was very clear about Cao You's abilities, and he never underestimated his opponents. And Zhao Zhen felt that Zhang Maocai's Wangcai team was originally a team that
If the first-round team comes to play soy sauce on the last day, I'm afraid the people will be very disappointed, and the fun of Cuju may be gone. As for the Goshawk team, Gu Liang and his team members
After all, he is a soldier, and he will still complete the things explained above seriously, so the last game in the second half will naturally be the game between the Lions and the Goshawks.
The two sides did not disappoint Lu Yao and Zhao Zhen. At least the audience was very happy to see it now. Both sides scored a goal in the first half, but in terms of rhythm, it was indeed a bit slow. Except for the two sides launching attacks to make progress.
In addition to the sudden acceleration of the offensive rhythm when the ball was played, the entire first half was still under the control of the Lions. In order to maintain stability, they were very cautious in dribbling, passing and organizing offenses. The two teams were very cautious in the first half of the game.
The total number of shots did not exceed five. Especially the Goshawks, who only had two shot opportunities in the first half. However, they also scored once in these two shots.
Therefore, although there was something exciting in the first half, the two teams each scored a goal in less than five minutes. But the rest of the time, there was basically no excitement. Although the audience could see the goals,
But to say that I am satisfied, it is probably a bit difficult to say.
However, in the second half of the game, the audience became excited again. Now only a quarter of an hour has passed in the second half. Let’s talk about the Goshawks first. They have changed their formation twice and also made personnel adjustments.
.Their opponent, the Lions, was even more powerful. Not long after the game started, they did not panic at all when facing the Goshawks' offensive formation that scored a goal in the first half. After completing the steal, they counterattacked and directly scored, opening the score once again.
, became two to one. At the same time, when defending, he also used the iron barrel formation that appeared in the previous game.
Today's audience is no longer like the audience that attended the first game. Because they want to buy football lottery tickets, they cannot fully listen to the recommendations and introductions of lottery station people. Therefore, in order to make money, they still have to make their investment more secure.
.To this end, they must understand the knowledge related to the new Cuju and the basic situation and playing methods of the eight teams. To this end, Lu Yao previously wrote a Cuju introductory guide for these common people, which included some
Basic tactics, as well as the overview, advantages and disadvantages of the eight teams according to Lu Yao. By the time of the fourth game, the audience had a certain understanding of the new Cuju, and also knew about the Goshawks and Lions.
What is the advantage? In other words, from the formation point of view, viewers with a little understanding know that this second half must be a very intense and intense game. After all, the Goshawks adopt a very offensive formation, whether it is 3-4
-3, or 3-5-2 are both very offensive formations. The defensive formation put up by the Lions is the iron barrel formation that they are very familiar with. This choice was very correct after scoring a goal.
of.
It can be said that now is a duel between contradictions. Either the Goshawks use their own offense to break through the Lions' defense with the force of autumn wind. Or, the Lions use their iron-clad defense to make the Goshawks' offense useless.
effect.
Pan Wen looked at the situation on the court and said, "Does it mean that Cao You now wants to adopt a comprehensive defensive strategy like Yang Tao before and defend the last two quarters of an hour?"
Han Wenyuan nodded and said: "I think it's 80% true. Cao You must have made the calculation correctly. From the beginning to now, the formation and tactics that are more suitable for the Goshawk team are offense. In fact, the Goshawk team has not made much achievements on the defensive end.
, Therefore, being able to prevent the Goshawks' offense is enough to win the game, after all, the Lions are in the lead now."
"Not bad." Lu Yao said, "Even if it is a one-goal lead, as long as it can be maintained until the end of the game. The formation adopted by the Goshawks now, because Gu Liang himself is the attacking midfielder, makes a sudden attack like before.
I'm afraid stealing won't work. Cao You wants to use positional defense to defuse the opponent's offensive routine so that the opponent can't score."
"As the game progresses, the mentality of the players on the field will also change." When Chen Chen said this, he couldn't help but think of his previous experience. "Although the Goshawks still have the advantage and the initiative in attack on the field.
Right, but judging from the score, the Lions are in the lead. This means that as long as the Goshawks' offense does not achieve results, as the game progresses, their players will become more and more anxious. This is not what Gu Liang said before.
The problems can be solved by giving some mental guidance."
"Yes, their offensive rhythm will become more and more impatient. Cao Yu's iron barrel formation was made after observing the last game. It must have absorbed the advantages of Yang Tao's Tigers, so the defense will be more
"Strictly, maybe not a single goal will be scored in the next game, or maybe the Goshawks will break through the defense and score, then the number of goals may be more and more." Lu Yao made his own judgment.
At this time, Yang Tao on the commentary stage also expressed similar views to Lu Yao.
"Yang Tao, as the leader who used the iron barrel formation before, now the Lions also use this formation, what do you think?" Su Shi looked at Yang Tao and said.
Yang Tao looked at the Lions on the court and pondered for a moment, then said: "To put it simply, using the iron barrel formation actually means that the team has entered a last-ditch situation. In this case, there are basically only two possibilities.
, either everyone can persist in defending until the end of the game, and everyone is very confident in their defense, otherwise the team will not choose to use this tactic. However, once the team using the iron barrel formation has their defense line broken,
In other words, if the opponent directly scores a goal, it will have a serious impact on the morale of the team, and the consequence will be that the team will continue to lose goals."
"It seems like this Iron Barrel Formation cannot be used by any team at any time." Su Zhe said from the side.
Yang Tao nodded and explained: "Yes, the first thing is that this team must be more united. All eleven players must concentrate on defense. At this point, I believe that the team led by Cao You will not be able to do this in this regard."
There are no problems. The second point is the timing of using this formation. Although the iron barrel formation has a very large number of defensive players in the backcourt, using the iron barrel formation to defend will put a lot of psychological pressure and physical stress on the players.
The physical exertion is very high. In my last game, the timing of using the iron barrel formation was actually a little early, and the Fanlou team finally found the opportunity. Today's Lions team has two games left in the second half of the game.
At the end of the quarter hour, the iron barrel formation was used. It seemed that Cao Yu had fully considered the physical strength of his team members. He knew that the team members could sustain it. It can be said that Cao Yu considered these two points very comprehensively.
"
"It's just that I think Cao Yu should have better tactics. After listening to what you said, the iron barrel formation seems to be a formation that does more harm than good." Su Shi said.
Yang Tao thought for a while and said: "It's mainly because of their opponents. The Goshawks are an offense-oriented team. Their offensive power is very strong. If they don't use the iron barrel formation to defend, they will continue to be like the Lions."
Defending with the previous 4-4-2 formation, facing the Goshawks with three forwards, they are likely to be tied by the Goshawks again. In this way, although the Lions are not afraid of attacking, they have a core forward
Zou Kai and Chen Feng, but a long time ago, instructor Zhe Kexing said on the commentary stage that every team cannot only focus on the game in front of them. For Cao You, who likes to play tactics, he must be the same,
So he chose the Iron Barrel Formation because he wanted to avoid exposing more tactics in the next period of time. Of course, this was also a very risky choice. If his defense line was breached because of Cao Yu's decision,
In the end, if you lose the game, you will lose more than you gain, which is a very risky approach.”
On the field, the Goshawk team's offense continued. Gu Liang recalled the suggestions given by Lu Yao on how to break the iron barrel formation in the manuscript.
To crack the Iron Barrel Formation, you must first have good overall ball control ability to ensure that you can control the situation on the field. If you often lose the ball during the siege and are easily counterattacked, you will not be able to attack with all your strength, and the chance of cracking will be even smaller if you do not invest enough. Secondly,
, it is necessary to make full use of the width of the court. Although it is an iron barrel formation, after all, it is only 11-man defense. When mobilized by the offense, it is still easy to get out of the gap. Of course, this requires the offensive players to pass the ball quickly and accurately, and there is a time difference in the defensive movement. The last thing is
To form a local advantage, you can use an excellent center to control the penalty area, form a shot or grab the first point; you can also use the skilled 2 or 3 people in the middle to form a shooting opportunity. Of course, the appropriate long-range shot threat can also break the iron barrel.
A necessary component of the formation. The Tie Tong Formation likes a single offensive method. If the attack methods are rich, there are breakthroughs, there is cooperation in the middle, and it can cross to compete for the top, and long shots are still very threatening, then the Tie Tong Formation will face frequent changes in defense.
The center of gravity is easily breached.
In terms of positional offense and normal offense, it is difficult to break through the iron barrel formation. Therefore, it seems that you have to create some opportunities, such as long shots, set kicks, and corner kicks. Use these opportunities to get close to the opponent's penalty area, and then
Then look for opportunities to complete the shot. In this regard, Gu Liang is still very confident in the height of the Goshawks. If it is a set kick or a corner kick, his side can still find an opportunity to score.
The question is, how to break through the defense of this iron barrel array?
When it comes to passing the ball, firstly, the Goshawks' passing ability is not very outstanding. The previous goals conceded were due to insufficient passing and dribbling abilities. Secondly, the opponent's defense did not shift its center of gravity, and even passing the ball was very difficult.
It is difficult to break through the defense line.
Thinking of this, Gu Liang felt that now he should change his identity, from a coach to a captain on the field.
After figuring out a way, Gu Liang started to wave. Seeing this, the midfielder passed the Cuju ball to Gu Liang's feet.
"It seems that the Goshawks have already chosen a method." Lu Yao said, "Use the personal abilities of Gu Liang and the two wingers to make a breakthrough. Gu Liang penetrates from the center, and then looks for opportunities to use the personal abilities of the three forwards.
, even if there is no way to complete the shot, as long as you keep dribbling the ball until you reach the penalty area, the opponent's chance of fouling is still quite high. At that time, you can create corner kicks and free kick opportunities to attack the opponent's goal, which is a very wise choice.
"
Lu Yao thought to himself that Gu Liang made the most correct choice in line with the current situation. I wonder if Cao You was prepared for Gu Liang's choice?
Obviously, Cao You was also prepared. After all, how to break through the Iron Barrel Formation was clearly written in the manuscript. Gu Liang knew very well, how could Cao You not understand?
After Gu Liang got the Cuju, he started dribbling the ball forward. At this time, he found that he was facing a zone defense of two defenders. One of them was the one who had just intercepted the ball from his Goshawk midfielder. Later,
Xu Ming, who assisted Zou Kai in shooting, could be said to have very good defensive skills. As for the other player, Gu Liang took a closer look and realized that this was the player that the Lions had just replaced.
, it was Zou Kai who was replaced. The Lions now adopt the iron barrel formation, and it is very normal to replace the players on the defensive line. It seems that they have indeed been targeted by the opponent.
However, the corners of Gu Liang's mouth raised slightly, "You don't really think that you can kill me with just two defenders, Cao You."
Indeed, from the kick-off in the first half to now, Gu Liang has assumed the position of more of a coach on the field. Unlike Xu Chang, Gu Liang basically maintains his physical strength in terms of physical exertion.
Gu Liang was in a very good state. Apart from participating in the two attacks, Gu Liang did not consume too much energy in defense. Part of the reason was that he had to make clear instructions on the court and must retain his energy to a certain extent.
.For another reason, Gu Liang has already calculated that facing Cao You's Lions team, the Goshawk team may fall into a passive situation. At this time, he must stand up, as a leader, as a
Captain, bring back the team's disadvantage. At this time, you can't do it if you don't have sufficient physical strength.
Therefore, whether objectively or subjectively, Gu Liang was conserving his physical strength for this moment of explosion.
The two wingers of the Goshawks started running wildly the moment Gu Liang stopped the ball. They didn't pay any attention to how many people were following them.
As for Gu Liang, he seemed very calm when facing Xu Ming and another Lions defender. Facing a double team, Gu Liang actually found an opportunity in a very small space and passed the opponent directly.
Two defenders.
Just when Gu Liang was looking for the position of the two wingers on the field and preparing to pass the ball, his leg suddenly hurt, and then Gu Liang fell to the ground directly.
It was the Lions player who came on the field later who fouled Gu Liang. Obviously, everyone could see clearly that this player fouled Gu Liang's tactics. However, Gu Liang broke through and
Did Cao You not expect it, or did he already calculate that Gu Liang's ability was outstanding, so he gave instructions to the defensive players to commit a foul if they were breached?
After the referee Zhan Zhao blew the whistle, he walked towards the player who committed the foul. After all, this person had just come on the field and had committed his first foul, so Zhan Zhao gave the player a verbal warning. Then Zhan Zhao looked at
The team member nodded and then looked at Xu Ming.
Perhaps everyone in the audience didn't know the extent of Cao You's calculations. However, Zhan Zhao judged from his many years of experience as a police officer that this foul was definitely premeditated. It seemed that Cao You knew about Gu Liang's attack.
His ability is very outstanding, so he gave instructions in advance. Once his defense line is broken by Gu Liang, he will immediately let his team members use foul tactics against Gu Liang.
Although there is a certain risk in giving the opponent a free kick, in comparison, Cao You still doesn't want to give the three frontcourt players of the Goshawk team a chance to cooperate in sports battles and score.
Therefore, the final result was acceptable to Cao Yu. For the Goshawks, Gu Liang got a well-positioned free kick. At this distance, he had already entered the attack range, so he could choose to hit the goal directly.
Gu Liang looked at Cao Yu on the sidelines, and then placed Cuju in the free kick position.
