The Ball at Your Feet

The state of the team is too bad.

After losing the lead, Zhao Yaning began to realize this problem.

When the Chinese team was in the lead, they didn't have enough momentum to expand the victory. Instead, they flinched because they wanted to maintain the situation. After falling behind, I was suddenly flustered and lost control of the overall situation. Although there were still a lot of opportunities to get the ball, the kick was more flustered and more fearful, resulting in most of the movement deformation, and it was impossible to form an effective one. Offense and defense.

This is not what a strong team should have. Zhao Yaning remembered that when he was in Ajaccio, the team showed signs of fluttering, and would be scolded by the pressure of the coach and would not dare to neglect his duty anymore. After the team takes the lead, everyone will encourage and cheer each other up to maintain a high morale. In Zhao Yaning’s view, these things should be taken for granted, but now looking at this national team, he discovered how big his mistakes are: Ajaccio is not strong, but he is the champion of the French second division. Team. The championship team can have no outstanding technology, strong body, outstanding tactics, big-name players, but there are some things that cannot be without.

The perseverance of willpower, the courage to struggle, and the impeccable unity and enterprising.

These things cannot be found on the Chinese team. Although the strength of this Chinese team is not weak, compared with Costa Rica, that is, its physical strength is slightly weaker and the fight is not active enough, but Costa Rica's struggle consciousness and willpower are much stronger than the Chinese team.

Costa Rica is not much better than China, but their mentality and fighting spirit are much better. For the first time Chinese players played such a major international game, they were inevitably nervous and restrained. Secondly, it was also because of the competition involved, not only the honor and victory of the team, but also too much money, benefits and reputation. After the nine games, the Chinese team players will inevitably think about and worry about all kinds of things. With this mentality, how much can their original technical level be used?

The Chinese team lost their mentality. From the very beginning, the Football Association underestimated the enemy. They believed that the Chinese team could defeat Costa Rica, and even put forward the unrealistic slogan for second place in the group. Zhao Yaning's goal further promoted the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. The interests behind this goal exposed the discord and conservativeness of the Chinese team. Costa Rica's consecutive goals within five minutes have greatly reversed the situation. , Which completely changed the mental state of the two teams. The Chinese team was almost dumbfounded and completely lost the will to resist for a while.

At this time, what should I do to change this situation.

Zhao Yaning thought so in his heart, but didn't know what to do.

If it was in the club and was scored consecutively, the captain Colin would definitely curse. But here, the captain of the national team is still comforting the defense players. Zhao Yaning felt that they should be screaming to arouse their fighting spirit, but Zhao Yaning himself knew that he did not have the status of shouting in the national team. If he really shouted, I am afraid the result would be counterproductive. If it arouses conflicts in the national team, it won't be easy to handle.

But what should I do?

After all, Zhao Yaning is only 18 years old, and he has not played professional football for a long time. He is not a natural golf leader. He is inherently introverted and dull. He has always done his own job even if he completes the task. In this situation, no one stood up to encourage his teammates. It was the first time he met him. Although he wanted to do something, he really didn't know where to start.

So now, if I can summon the strength to fight back, I should be able to boost my morale a little bit.

The coach clearly saw the need to fight back. He let Dazhen replace Yang Xi, and at the same time let Yu Genwei replace Fan Zhiyi. The forward line is replaced by a tall header forward, undoubtedly because China's header advantage is more obvious, and the method of replacing a defender with a forward is obviously ready to fight hard.

This makes Zhao Yaning also a little excited. He is an offensive player after all. In this game, his defensive tasks were not performed very well, but when it comes to offense, he is not afraid of anyone.

Soon, the ball reached his feet. When Zhao Yaning caught the ball with his back, the opponent's defender also rushed. Zhao Yaning deliberately waited for his counterattack. Suddenly he hooked the ball with his left foot, bypassed his right foot, and gently forwarded it. Lost the opposing guard.

Flick the cow's tail.

Zhao Yaning's skills have always been strong points, but even so, if such skills are made at high speeds, he can't guarantee the success rate. But in a static state, such a technique is not difficult, especially Zhao Yaning's explosive power and flexibility are very good, and it is naturally very easy to pass the opponent.

However, Costa Rica's defense is not based on one person. The second man's defense was right in front of him, and the first man who was passed down did not move too much. Even if he adjusted his pace, he immediately followed.

But even so, the time it took him to turn around still gave Zhao Yaning plenty of space. Zhao Yaning swung the ball to the left, accelerated suddenly, and threw away the opponent with an accelerated change of direction.

This surprised the opponent. Zhao Yaning's ability to explode at this speed has already exceeded their expectations. It is really shocking to be able to speed up like this in the 70 minutes of the second half, when the physical strength is greatly consumed.

What is even more surprising is his route choice. He chose to move closer to the middle of the game. In this way, he would directly attack the back line of defense. Does this kind of play mean he wants to come by himself?

Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough route is well chosen. His position has already left the range of the opponent’s back midfielder. The Costa Rican defender can only choose to pounce, and his intentions are also very clear. He knows that Zhao Yaning is very clear one-on-one. It's difficult, so just go for physical contact. If the speed of Zhao Yaning can be blocked by physical contact, then the defensive players behind Zhao Yaning can keep up and stop the person.

Even if it didn't work, he had to seal the middle road and drove him to the side road.

The person in front had already gotten stuck, and Zhao Yaning understood that if he changed his direction, he would be driven to the side and lost the opportunity. And if he slows down, he will lean in, and even if it is a foul, he will pursue physical contact and will not give him a chance to break through with the ball.

At this time, the cooperation is needed.

Zhao Yaning's speed slowed down, and the opponent's defender immediately rushed forward. But at the moment when the opponent was bullying, Zhao Yaning suddenly passed the ball. This pass went directly to the entire defense of Costa Rica. At the same time, Dazhen also quickly ran into position with a kick. Shot the ball into the goal!

Go in! As soon as Zhao Yaning wanted to cheer, he heard a harsh whistle.

Offside.

Zhao Yaning sighed, but he was not particularly disappointed. When he himself passed the ball just now, he was not very sure about it. His passing ability is not strong, especially in this high-speed state, accurately aiming at an open pass to pass the through ball is not his strong point. Although he sent the ball out, he didn't know the specific effect. He didn't know the position of Dazhen just now. After the kick was sent out, he could accept it even though it was offside.

At least the effect he wanted was achieved. The Chinese team raised a little morale because of this ball.

"They are also tired. Everyone can't run. It's not necessarily who can win." Zhao Yaning shouted at his national teammates, "We can win!"

Everyone on the court turned their eyes to him, but no one said anything. Although Zhao Yaning performed well just now, it is still impossible for the newcomers who have just joined the team~www.ltnovel.com~ to command the old players with an outstanding performance. The people on the field are old football players who have played for many years, and Zhao Yaning doesn't have the ability to change their skills in a few words.

"Come on again." Zhao Yaning looked at them and cheered himself up.

But after this time, the offensive of the Chinese team has indeed changed. And the scope of this year's activities has also deepened from near the original midline to near the restricted area. He is now even more focused. Obviously, the opponent also understands that Zhao Yaning is the most powerful breakthrough point for the Chinese team on the court. He has the ability to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation.

Zhao Yaning also knew that he was being marked. The Costa Ricans always foul unscrupulously, which makes Zhao Yaning very uncomfortable. He doesn't have to worry about these in the league, but the special nature of the cup makes Costa Rica not care about playing cards, so Zhao Yaning has a lot of difficulties in getting the ball. He couldn't always encounter such a good opportunity just now.

So... Zhao Yaning suddenly became bolder. Perhaps, I tried to think about the middle, and messed up the opponent's defense by moving off the ball and coordinating with the opponent?

The middle road is king. This is a truth that anyone who plays football understands. When Zhao Yaning was in France, the coach would not allow him to move closer to the middle, because the middle is more dangerous, it is easy to get injured, it is more difficult to play the standard, and it is easy to frustrate a person's self-confidence. But now, Zhao Yaning felt that he should pass.

Facing a team like Costa Rica, even if you get to the middle, it's not difficult to break through, right? And if you get to the middle, you can participate in the middle pass. A good shot just now has created a threat. If you go to the middle, you can construct even if you run without the ball. Some threats?

Should I try it?
