Starting from Manchester United, starting with Maguire

The game after the end of Chapter 7 "Moving the Capital"

After receiving Ronaldo's warning, Gao Changfeng began to treat the game rigorously according to the requirements of professional players, instead of relying on crushing other players' data and "Rainbow Extraordinary" to enjoy the joy of scoring, passing and celebrating .

Although the number of goals decreased and part of the joy of playing football was lost, his clean play, active running, and conscientious interception made him gain deeper trust from the coach and teammates.

Earn talent points in the game and practice modern football tactics on the training ground. Such a lackluster day has passed for 39 days, and the time has come to October 2021, 10.

During this period, Gao Changfeng did not miss every game of Sheffield United, including nine British Championships and one English League Cup. Collected 52 talent points.

As Sheffield United's narrow 1-0 victory over Millwall came to an end, Gao Changfeng, who was on loan, has completed ten games, and the effect of "moving the capital" is over.

Sitting in the locker room, watching his various statistics drop rapidly, Gao Changfeng felt unspeakably desolate in his heart.

[Ball control: 40, dribbling: 40, foot strength: 40, physical resistance: 57, body balance: 40, bounce: 40, injury resistance: 40, speed: 40, explosive power: 40, physical fitness: 55. 】

Gone are the days of relying on data to overwhelm peers. The so-called "going back to before liberation" is nothing more than that, right?
Fortunately, Gao Changfeng was prepared for this moment and hoarded all the talent points he earned, so that at least he could ensure that his performance would not be too different after the effect of "moving the capital" ended, causing the coach and teammates to distrust him .

Since he plays a defensive midfielder position, physical fitness and foot strength are undoubtedly the most important. Physical fitness can guarantee fierce interceptions in the midfield, and foot strength can ensure better steals, pass strength and ground confrontation.

Using 52 talent points, Gao Changfeng increased his physical fitness and foot strength to 70, and his body balance to 47 in case of emergency.

After allocating the talent points he hoarded, Gao Changfeng walked into the bathroom with a sigh of relief and began to take a shower.

I don't have time to reminisce about the superior data panel. Four days later, there will be a match against the British Championship powerhouse Barnsley. The most important thing is to adjust the physical condition and actively prepare for the game.

Before stepping onto the field, Heginbotham stopped Gao Changfeng in the player tunnel and asked with concern: "Changfeng, are you sure you're okay?"

Gao Changfeng has been asked this question more than once, and the decline in data cannot be hidden. Naturally, Heginbotham can find Gao Changfeng's regression on the training ground.

For this question, Gao Changfeng always has only one answer: "Please trust me, I will do my job well."

Heginbotham patted Gao Changfeng's head vigorously to show encouragement, and watched him follow the team slowly into the arena.

[Main task: win the game talent points x 3.

Secondary tasks: complete three key passes, talent point x 1; complete one interception, talent point x 1]

In this away game for Sheffield United, three-quarters of the audience were Barnsley fans. After seeing Gao Changfeng, they drew the cross on their chests and prayed devoutly like seeing a devil.

In order to deal with Gao Changfeng, Barnsley specially set up a 4-2-4 full attack and full defense formation, intending to pass the defender's long pass to cross the enemy midfielder and directly find the forward line. After all, Gao Changfeng is there and there is no ball. The team wants to compete with Sheffield United in midfield.

It's a pity that Barnsley's formation arrangement this time helped Gao Changfeng cover up the dilemma of his declining strength.

Without getting into a fight in the midfield, Gao Changfeng and Campbell only need to serve as the hub connecting the team's front and back courts.

As a result, the fans saw a speechless scene.

Barnsley frantically raised the ball from the backcourt to find the striker. However, under the pressure of Sheffield United's back line, it was difficult for the forward to stop the ball, and they often lost the confrontation and handed over the ball to the opponent at the first time.

After the defender of Sheffield United grabbed the ball, the whole team began to make short ground passes that were safe and unsuitable for mistakes. Anyway, Barnsley only had two midfielders, and they couldn't stop the ground passes of the 4-2-2-2 formation. control.

Soon, Barnsley, who lost a lot of ball possession, suffered retribution. Gao Changfeng passed the ball diagonally to Sheffield United winger Jabison, who then dribbled inside and rushed to the front of the enemy's penalty area. Scored a goal with a long shot.

Sheffield United 1:0 Barnsley.

When Jebsen dribbled the ball, the two Barnsley midfielders had no time to return to the defense. The four defenders not only had to constantly deliver shells to the frontcourt, but also faced endless one-on-one defensive dilemmas, and were already exhausted.

Abandoning the midfield is tantamount to giving up the integrity of the team. In modern football games, no matter when it is placed, it is not an advisable formation.

Since the 21st century, the fans have never seen such an outrageous formation, and they all roared to dismiss Barnsley coach Asbaji.

Gao Changfeng was calmly doing the transition work in the midfield, while secretly laughing in his heart: You guys haven’t seen Rangnick’s Manchester United, let alone 4-2-4, the second game against Atletico Madrid is 4- 0-6 came out on horseback, a group of forwards piled up in front of the crowd, it's really not too exciting!
With the blessing of the opponent's full attack and full defense formation, Gao Changfeng, who was so easy to take off, had a whim in the stoppage time of the first half and sent a through ball directly forward.

At this time, Barnsley's midfielders were exhausted from running back and forth, and the back line was overwhelmed by the heavy burden. This through pass went directly through Barnsley's back line.

Sheffield United's "Pillar Center" Sharpe lived up to expectations and crossed the opponent's exhausted line of defense, successfully catching up with the football and scoring a single-handed shot.

Sheffield United 2:0 Barnsley.

During the half-time break, in response to Barnsley's formation and his own lead, Heginbotham made a commendable on-the-spot adjustment: "Let's change to a 5-2-1-2 defensive formation in the second half, and be careful of the opponent's long pass Rush and hang."

Although everyone didn't care about such on-the-spot scheduling, the coach had to listen to what he said.

At the start of the second half, wingers Jebison and Brewster went off, replaced by central defender Goode and midfielder Borg, and Gao Changfeng had previously kicked the midfielder without authorization, this time Heginbotham was simply satisfied. fulfilled his wish.

Gao Changfeng took a deep breath nervously. He kicked the front midfielder without authorization before because of the bonus of "moving the capital". over!
At the position of the front midfielder, everyone saw Gao Changfeng's embarrassment at this time. His physical fitness and foot strength were considered passable, but he didn't have the vision, speed, body balance, etc. that the front midfielder should have.

Although the situation of the game was completely controlled by Sheffield United, even though Burnsley's two midfielders had already bottomed out, they were still able to force Gao Changfeng, who was unsightly on the data panel, to make a lot of ugly faces.

Not only the fans of Sheffield United, but even the fans of Barnsley scratched their heads in puzzlement: what happened to that agile and powerful player today?
The Burnsley coach saw that Gao Changfeng, whom he had studied in every possible way before the game, had turned into this kind of virtue, so he hurriedly called a timeout.

Heginbotham asked Gao Changfeng with concern: "What's the matter with you?"

"I, I may, only be suitable for kicking the lower back." Gao Changfeng's tone was already a little choked up.

"It doesn't matter," Heginbotham comforted, "then use a 5-3-2 defensive formation, anyway, we lead by two goals."

After receiving instructions from the coach, the team is ready to play again.

Before going on stage, Heginbotham suddenly called out the dejected Gao Changfeng: "Hey, there is one person in the world that you must not let him down. Do you know who it is?"

"you?"

"No, his name is Gao Changfeng."

Gao Changfeng suddenly realized, regained his fighting spirit and trotted all the way back to the arena.

If you are disappointed in yourself, where is the hope?Not everyone is born with an enviable data panel, but everyone should keep fighting.

Anyone in the world can be disappointed in you but yourself, fight, keep fighting, never fall!

At the start again, Burnsley's formation was changed to 3-4-3, and Gao Changfeng was once again caught in a midfield fight.

Fortunately, he has already led by two goals, and the next task is not to lose the ball. Gao Changfeng runs in the midfield without hesitating his physical fitness, intercepting the opponent's ground pass.

Without the impressive data panel, he is no longer a genius player in people's eyes, but at least he still has an indelible will to accompany him on the court.

Running straight until the sky was dark and his body was numb, Gao Changfeng still did not give up running, and still performed his duties with all his strength.

The fans went from disappointment to expectation, from anticipation to being moved, from being moved to regaining confidence in Gao Changfeng. These mentality changes only happened in just 20 minutes.

"Gao Changfeng, come on!" The sound of encouragement resounded throughout the stadium, supporting Gao Changfeng's heavy body to continue galloping on the field.

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Gao Changfeng collapsed powerlessly to the ground. After countless steals and interceptions, he did not concede a single goal in the second half. As a defensive midfielder, he at least completed his own task.

[Congratulations on completing the task, you will get talent points x 5. 】

　No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, no matter how bleak the hope is, don't give up and keep fighting.

　　Because anyone in the world can be disappointed in you, but you can't.
