Starting from Manchester United, starting with Maguire

Chapter 8 Call of the Motherland

The absence of the impressive data brought by the "moving the capital" is a blessing in disguise for Gao Changfeng. Although he cannot be the most outstanding player on the field, the ordinary data panel allows him to truly understand the practicality and play simple and efficient football.

If the pragmatism in the past was all because of Ronaldo’s teachings, then Gao Changfeng is trying to adapt to his no longer extraordinary self. If he does not have a pragmatic style of play and a positive attitude towards the game, he will lose his foothold in Sheffield United. land.

During this period of time, Gao Changfeng's understanding of football has improved to a higher level, and he has also laid a solid foundation for becoming a real world-class star in the future.

After another two Championship matches at Sheffield United, Gao Changfeng, who was no longer superior to others, finally felt the bitterness of defeat.

Sheffield United 0:1 Blackpool.

Although the attitude of the game is positive and there are few mistakes throughout the whole process, in fact he is no longer the player who can dominate the game by himself. The never-ending trust of coaches, teammates and fans is only derived from his positive attitude towards the game.

Fortunately, Gao Changfeng's goal is to help Manchester United defeat Atletico Madrid next year, and his mentality is not too affected by the failure.

2021年11月3日，帮助谢菲尔德联1:0战胜诺丁汉森林后，赫金博特姆将一张信封交给高长风：“恭喜你。”

"What do you mean?" Gao Changfeng opened the envelope and examined it carefully. Inside was an invitation letter for the national team.

"Playing for the country is the dream of every player," Heginbotham patted Gao Changfeng's shoulder vigorously, "Let's go back to China now, and work with the teammates of the national team. I hope to see him in the World Cup." China."

Can't tell whether it's excitement or panic, Gao Changfeng, who couldn't take it easy, nodded stiffly at Heginbotham, and then went to the locker room to take a shower and go home according to the usual order.

After lying on the soft single bed for an hour, Gao Changfeng opened his mouth and asked, "System, why did the national team call me up now?"

[Because your previous data panel was raised by "moving the capital", it will change back to the original state when you reach the national team. 】

"Why didn't you remind me earlier? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have picked up talent points."

[You didn't ask. 】

It’s too late to say anything now. Four rounds of the World Cup Asian qualifiers have been held. The national football team has three losses and one win. Gao Changfeng, who has the script for the top 12 match in advance, knows that the next national football team will not lose to Japan and Saudi Arabia. Any team, otherwise they will not even qualify for the play-offs.

During this period, Gao Changfeng improved his physical fitness, foot strength and speed to 16, 78 and 76 respectively through the 44 talent points he earned and daily training. Such data is enough to serve as a starting midfielder in the national team.

There is no epidemic in the game world, so Gao Changfeng flew to Suzhou, China the next day, which will be the home of the national team's two games in November.

In the real world, due to the epidemic, the Chinese team cannot play at home at home. Coach Li Tie once said: "If we return to Suzhou, we are likely to score all 6 points."

Well, at Suzhou's local home court, we will add a new midfielder Gao Changfeng who will start in the British Championship. Brother Tie Zi, please.

After 9 days of run-in training with the national team teammates, Gao Changfeng found that most of them had no fighting spirit and no belief in winning at all, and the whole training atmosphere was dead, as if they were dealing with work.

No time to think about it, the game against Oman on November 11 has arrived, and due to the lifeless and work-style training every day, Gao Changfeng's data panel has not changed at all.

Before the game, Li Tie began to arrange tactics with bangs blowing on his head: "4-2-3-1, Zhang Yuning single forward, Wu Lei, Luo Guofu left and right forwards, Alan's midfielder, the defender remains the same, Gao Changfeng, you replace Xu Xin As a defensive midfielder, Wu Xi, you are responsible for playing the ball in the midfield."

Gao Changfeng let out a mouthful of turbid air slowly, and said to himself: What you said means that Wu Xi will only play a midfield transition, and I will run around to defend the midfield?

In the 21st century, modern football still needs the defensive midfielder to only serve as the connection point between the front and rear courts and the point of delivery. So what are the defenders used for?
Is this Li Tie's incompetence, or is it true that Chinese football is more than 20 years behind the world?
It was too late to think about these questions. Gao Changfeng followed the captain Wu Xi to the stadium and sang the national anthem. He was full of heroic patriotism. I, Gao Changfeng, would not hesitate to help the national football team break into the World Cup!

[Primary goal: win the game, talent points × 5.
Secondary goals: Complete a key block, talent point x 2, successfully complete a seven-foot pass, talent point x 1. 】

If it is said that in the British Championship team, players in various positions perform their duties and keep their duties, and players on both ends of the offense and defense seldom take care of each other, then the competition between the two Asian teams in China and Oman is simply that there is no communication between the players. Fighting against each other, the level is real and seductive.

Playing for the country, Gao Changfeng's attitude was more positive, he ran back and forth in the midfield position and intercepted without hesitation, and single-handedly disturbed the opponent's four midfielders.

Captain Wu Xi is quite relaxed. As a defensive midfielder, he really minimizes his defensive contribution. After Gao Changfeng grabs the ball and passes it to him, he then passes the ball to dispatch his teammates to organize the attack.

Gao Changfeng panted and ran across the field while asking the system: "System, isn't Wu Xi a defensive midfielder?"

[Yes, but the defensive midfielder arranged by Li Tie is you. 】

NND, even strikers in modern football have to defend. You, Li Tie, have arranged for a midfielder who doesn’t have to actively participate in defense. Are you still living in the 70s?
Regardless of complaining, Gao Changfeng tried his best to build a midfield barrier for the national football team. Fortunately, Wu Lei, Luo Guofu, and Alan all have experience in playing football in Europe, and they often return to the defensive midfielder to assist Gao Changfeng. The defense line was not hit too much.

In 20 minutes, after blocking the pass from Oman's central midfielder Harib, Gao Changfeng quickly slanted forward to the right. The football successfully passed the Oman midfielder, and Wu Lei had already started to go forward to catch up. He didn't score a goal, but he also won a corner kick for the national football team.

Due to his short stature, Gao Changfeng chose to stay in the backcourt during the corner kick attack and was responsible for intercepting the enemy's defensive counterattack.

Zhang Linpeng took a corner kick and hit it back. Zhu Chenjie, who had been waiting for troublesome national football player, raised the ball with a header and then lobbed the ball forward. He scored with a right leg poke.

China 1:0 Oman!

The national football players all hugged together to celebrate, while Gao Changfeng chose to stand still and try to adjust his breath. Although he has a physical fitness of up to 78, the task of building a midfield barrier alone still makes him miserable.

After scoring a goal, the national football team made persistent efforts, controlled the entire first half of the game, and once created a murderous intention.

After halftime, many national football players had already opened champagne in the locker room to celebrate. Gao Changfeng hid in the corner and shook his head helplessly.

In the real world, the national football team was tied by Oman in the second half. Is it because of Li Tie's sweet substitution, or Yan Junling's rash attack, or the arrogance of opening champagne in this half?
At the beginning of the second half, the national football team still controlled the situation of the game. Luo Guofu's crazy running helped the team invest more troops on both ends of the offense and defense. Gao Changfeng's powerful midfield interception made it difficult for the Oman midfielder to deliver ammunition forward.

At 67 minutes into the game, a horrible thing happened. Wu Xinghan replaced Luo Guofu.

Luo Guofu looked at Li Tie in amazement, raised his finger to his chest, and muttered: "It's not me, why me?"

Luo Guofu's question could not be answered, only Li Tie's firm eyes and "picking" elegant movements were obtained.

Gao Changfeng sighed silently. He knew that Li Tie wanted to prove something again, and his "proving himself" this time would cause the national football team to lose the ball.

"Gao Changfeng, why are you standing at the back post? Go mark!" During a corner kick defense, the captain Wu Xi ordered Gao Changfeng loudly.

Gao Changfeng still stood motionless at the back post: "Captain, Yan Junling is at the front post, and someone must stand at the back post."

Gao Changfeng also didn't want to stand at the back post. If the opponent directly attacked the back post, his height of 175 would be difficult to provide sufficient protection for the goal. The problem was that he didn't have this awareness for tall people!

Sure enough, what should have happened still happened. Yan Junling made a rash "toad jump" not only failed to pick off the corner kick from the opponent, but also caused Oman defender Amjad's header to go past his fingers and hit point later.

Gao Changfeng had only seen this scene on TV before, and only when he experienced it personally did he realize that the header was still slightly arced, and his defensive area was 175.
Gao Changfeng tried his best to block it with his legs, but unfortunately he still couldn't touch the football. He was desperate when he saw the football going into the net. Could it be that even holding the script in his hand could not change the fate of the national football team?
The national football team 1:1 Oman, the plot of the top 12 match is back on track again, or in other words, it has never deviated.
