World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 168

"This"

"what's going on?"

To say that Spanish coach Seth is confused is to underestimate him;

But at the moment, he has at least a few hundred grass-mud horses galloping back and forth in his heart.

Doesn't the Chinese team like to defeat the strong with the weak?

Isn't the Chinese team good at breaking through from the side and then making crosses from the bottom?

Wasn't he good at playing defensive counterattacks?

Looking at the precarious own defense.

Where is this opponent a weak team?
It is clearly a well-trained regular army!
In this situation, not only Seth was caught off guard.

Even the scouts in the stands who supported Spain and from all walks of life in Europe didn't understand.

"What happened to Spain today?"

"The team members have a bad stomach?"

"Why is the kick so soft?"

On the court, after Chen Licheng blasted the ball into the stands with an anti-aircraft gun, the middle and young players faded away like a tide.

This time, Casey, who has previous experience, did not drive the ball directly to the center, but distributed the ball to his teammates on the side.

After Koyla got the ball, he stepped forward cautiously, for fear that the middle and young players would come forward and press down.

But to his surprise, Zeng Zheng's team did not adopt the high-position pressing tactics as he imagined.

On the contrary, the frontcourt players, including Li Yi, retreated to the center circle, ready to fight.

Koyla took a few more steps forward, and when he saw his midfielder coming to meet him, he passed the ball.

At this point, he could no longer move forward.

The first thing Barrera thought of after getting the ball was Harvey, who played in the midfield.

He has great confidence in this teammate from the Barcelona B team.

As long as Harvey gets the ball, he can single-handedly create a big hole in the defense of the China Youth Team by virtue of his superb overall situation view and delicate and skillful foot skills!
But the reality is cruel.

Before Barrera found Harvey, Li Yi rushed forward.

Seth, who was on the sidelines, frowned and observed, while instructing the assistant to take notes carefully.

"The first line of defense of the Chinese team passed the midfield. It seems that they did not intend to play a defensive counterattack at the beginning of this game."

The assistant coach on the side nodded while giving Giroud, "Mr. Seth, the Chinese team is playing 451 like us. Do they also want to attack from the middle?"

Seth nodded.

"Our 4231 is planning to attack from the middle, that's right."

"But the Chinese team is not a simple 451 evolution."

"It's kind of like 4231, but it seems to be a little bit different."

"Is it my illusion?"

"I always feel that number 9 is running around."

The number 9 in Seth's mouth is Zhao Jun.

During Seth's observation, he was sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, sometimes protruding forward, sometimes leaning back, and there was no fixed position at all.

Before the kick-off of the whole game, it is the most intuitive moment for the coaches of both sides to observe their opponents.

What kind of formation the opponent chooses and how to stand can be seen clearly at a glance.

After observing before the kick-off, Seth found that the opposite side was basically in the same position as himself, so he didn't forget it at all.

But until now, he feels more and more that the Chinese team is not just 4231.

"What the hell was China doing?"

"That No. 9's organizational skills are so strong."

"Why should he be pressed in the lower back position?"

"Is it just to stabilize the defense?"

Seth gritted his teeth, watched the ball transfer on the field, and once again faced the siege of the Chinese team in his own half.

He knew that now was the time to race against time.

The Zhongqing team's through penetration in the middle is ridiculously strong, and every pass is very decisive.

If the ball is passed in place, try to form a shot as much as possible;
Slightly biased, the China Youth Team did not miss any chance;
If the deviation is outrageous or is interrupted midway, the China Youth Team is unambiguous, and immediately turns around and runs towards its own defense zone.

With such a clear attack method, in the opening nearly 20 minutes, the China Youth Team made a total of 7 shots, 4 of which were within the range of the goal frame.

The pass was blocked once, and the responding player made a mistake by himself.

In other words, within an average of more than two minutes, the China Youth Team played a wave of offense.

This data is quite terrifying on the football field!

You must know that the ball has not always been at the feet of the China Youth Team in these 20 minutes. No matter how bad Spain is, they also contributed 3 shots from outside the penalty area!
Although a bit outrageous.

After observing for more than 20 minutes, Seth still didn't see why.

Obviously everyone's formation is 4231, but I always feel that the opponent's formation is different from my own.

It is obvious which player is different, but I can't figure out why because of his difference, my team now has more defense and less offense.

Whoosh!
boom!
In the 25th minute, Li Yi received a 45-degree cross from Zhao Junzhe on the line of the small penalty area and flicked the header.

With such a close attack, all the Spanish generals raised their hands and surrendered.

Only Casey in front of the goal line is still extremely brave.

In the nick of time, he actually made a save with an unimaginable diving jump and fished the ball back from the goal line.

Li Yi's eyeballs straightened when he saw it.

He subconsciously raised his arm and shouted loudly: "Referee, this goal has been scored, this goal has been scored!"

But at this time, no one in the penalty area paid attention to the middle and young players who complained loudly.

Seeing the ball being thrown in front of him, the discussion who also plugged in on the side quickly followed up with a supplementary shot.

At such a close distance, Cassie, who bounced up from the ground for the second time, blocked it with her body.

When the discussion was about to attack the goal again, Cassie, who was forced to stand on the ground, had already thrown himself at his feet.

The young Real Madrid goalkeeper opened his arms and hugged the ball fiercely like an eagle.

uh. this.
Facing such a reckless opponent, Shang Yi still withdrew his strength in the last kick and let the opponent confiscate the ball.

Although Zeng Zheng warned the players that all [-]/[-] goals must be contested.

But this case obviously doesn't apply.

"Referee, my teammate scored the goal just now!"

"The ball has already crossed the goal line!"

Since the follow-up shot was unsuccessful, Discussion immediately acted as Li Yi's translator and appealed loudly to the referee in Portuguese.

The referee stepped back and pointed at his eyes with two fingers.

That means, "I see better than anyone else!"

After a while, the slow motion playback also came out.

The fans in front of the TV can clearly see that the ball has hit the goal line.

But in the next second, it was pulled out by Cassie's fingers.

Some football-savvy fans stopped shouting when they saw this.

According to FIFA regulations, the projection of the ball must all cross the goal line to count as a goal.

"It's dangerous!" The Spanish fans let out a sigh of relief.

"Isn't the Chinese team too aggressive?"

"Why are you still playing against Spain?"

"Could it be that the Chinese team has been hiding their strength from the very beginning?"

"Forbearance until the final broke out? Isn't this too BT?"

Seth didn't see the problem, let alone the average fan.

As the game passed minute by minute, the scene was still dominated by the Chinese youth team.

Seth had no choice but to resort to the "delaying time" method.

Since the highest defensive line of the China Youth Team is only near the middle circle, then we will fall in the backcourt, you will not press up from a high position, will you?
Using this almost rogue approach, the pace of the game was gradually slowed down.

While the number of offenses of the Chinese youth team has decreased, Spain's ball possession rate has also been rising steadily.

When his own players were in possession of the ball, Seth had been observing the defensive formation of the China Youth Team.

But just like the position at the beginning, there seems to be no difference from the ordinary 4231.

"wrong!"

"There must be something in it that I don't know yet!"

"That cunning Zeng must have said something to that No. 9."

"What's the difference?"

In this situation where there was almost no defensive pressure, Seth couldn't see any clues at all.

Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, Seth gritted his teeth and waved his hand!
attack!
He NND!

Our team members are not easy to mess with!
Our Spanish offensive ability is just now.

As long as we make a successful attack, breaking the door of the Chinese team is not a problem!
Under the command of Seth, Spain began to exert its strength up and down.

First, after receiving a through ball from Harvey, Pablo volleyed in the penalty area of ​​the China Youth Team and shot the ball directly into the stands.

Then Balquero headed the goal in the penalty area of ​​the China Youth Team, which was saved by Liu Yunfei.

The China Youth Team did not show any weakness during this period.

After the Spanish attack failed here, they immediately launched an attack from the center.

Using one pass and more active running, he also hit the ball into the Spanish penalty area.

After attacking and defending twice in a row, Seth's eyes lit up.

He finally discovered the difference between Zhao Junzhe and other midfielders.

"Damn!"

"The China Youth Team really isn't 4231!"

Seth cursed secretly.

"I'm stupid too, how come I didn't see it until now!"

"If we knew that the China Youth Team used such an ancient tactic, we would have broken the game and scored a goal!"

Just as Seth kept blaming himself, the Chinese youth team quickly launched a counterattack after successfully defending, and once again ignited the flames of war to the front of the Spanish penalty area.

The continuous offense and defense made some unprepared Spanish players relax.

When Li Yan dribbled the ball to the front of the Spanish penalty area, the China Youth Team formed a 3-on-3 situation in the frontcourt.

In the middle, Li Yan straddled the ball with both feet, and saw that he hadn't deceived the opponent, so he decisively sent a diagonal kick.

Whoosh! ! !
As soon as Shao Jia, who followed from the left, rushed into the penalty area, he took a low shot unexpectedly.

The ball skimmed at low altitude, passed through the defensive crowd in an instant, and flew to the Spanish goal.

Cassie, who was in a hot state in the first half, had been prepared for a while, and blocked the ball from the goal line with a single palm.

At the same time, like a sensitive hunting dog, Li Yi had already activated the moment Cassie saved him and rushed to the door.

Facing the bounced ball, Li Yi didn't say anything, and directly swept the ball towards the empty goal.

However, there was another muffled sound of despair.

Li Yi's push from close at hand actually kicked Cassie's chest again.

At that moment, even Li Yi himself was in despair.

"Fuck, is this still human?"

"Response so fast?"

"Isn't he a robot?"

Li Yi was extremely annoyed at this moment.

He is a fool, and he also knows that today's first half of the game can be played smoothly, which is completely a victory of Zeng Zheng's strategy and tactics.

With the ability of the Spanish coach, it might not be possible to use the 15-minute break in the middle to analyze comprehensively, and then calmly break the game.

At that time, the Chinese youth team without tactical support can only go back to "old business" and play defensive counterattacks honestly.

If you don't take advantage of the first half to take the lead, you may have to be scored by Spain in the second half.

And now, the first half has entered the stoppage time stage.

He wasted opportunities over and over again.

At such a close distance, the opponent's goalkeeper fell to the ground again.

He hasn't scored the ball yet.

when?life?
Or is it time for the China Youth Team to take the lead in the first half?

Just when Li Yi secretly hated himself for not being able to live up to expectations, the discussion from the other side came out of nowhere and rushed to the ball again.

This time, even if Da Luo Jinxian came to defend, he couldn't stop Jianlibao's supplementary shot.

Swish!
Finally, there was a pleasing sound of brushing the net on the court.

The ball kicked by Negotiation hit the Spaniard's net.

When seeing the ball really hit the net, the tens of thousands of Chinese fans on the scene were immediately excited.

"Ooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Goal scored!"

"We finally scored!"

"Leading!"

"We're really ahead!"

In the stands, the Chinese fans quickly stood up, raised their hands, and cheered.

Those with large flags, drumsticks and other objects in their hands danced the things in their hands very fast.

The discussion after the goal was not to be outdone. Seeing that he succeeded in making up shots, he quickly turned around, raised his arms at a 45-degree angle, and rushed to the sidelines while punching the sky continuously.

When rushing to the corner kick, Shang Yi leaped high, as if about to transform.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

The narrator's long-pitched shout also sounded at the scene.

"The goal is the number 12 of the Chinese team, Shang!!!"

This long note brought the atmosphere of the final to a climax.

In front of the coaches of the China Youth Team, the coaches also hugged each other in twos, with joy written all over their faces.

"At the critical moment, it has to be a small discussion!" Zhu Guanghu said with emotion.

"I thought the ball was gone!"

"Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi ran forward again and poked the ball in with one kick."

"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that Spain's two subjects are so powerful!"

Zhu Guanghu's face blossomed into a smile, and Zeng Zheng finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He NND.

Casey was amazing in this game.

Saved 9 consecutive must-go shots of the China Youth Team.

This is going to be in the World Cup, this guy is absolutely a god!

Fortunately, a goal was finally scored in the first half.

Otherwise, maybe he and the China Youth Team will become the background of his fame.

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded at the right time.

【Ding! 】

[Negotiating and Comprehending Passive Skills: Winning in Chaos]

[Winning in chaos LV1: Improve player's supplementary shooting ability]

Counting this, the discussion already has two skills about supplementary shooting.

The one he already has is "Take advantage of others' danger LV7", the ability is to increase the chance of supplementary shots.

Now there is another victory in chaos, this guy is a proper assassin in front of the door!

Under Zeng Zheng's instruction, the team members continued to celebrate for a long time until the referee's patience was worn out and the opponent's fighting spirit was exhausted.

Sure enough, although there were 3 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, the Spaniard did not show the offensive strength before the goal was lost after kick-off.

Anyway, the coach didn't have any instructions, and the players kept walking backwards in the backcourt until the game time ran out.

Standing on the sidelines, Zeng Zheng gave high-fives to every player who left the field and said a word of encouragement.

On the other hand, in Spain, under the leadership of Seth, the players lowered their heads and hurried into the player tunnel.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Zeng Zheng gave orders.

"Xiao Tao, besides Yang Jun, you go and arrange for the substitutes to warm up."

"Others, follow me back to the locker room."

"In the second half, it's time for us to change our routine!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guanghu and the other teaching assistants quickly put away their smiles and hurried into the locker room.

In the locker room, Seth looked extremely gloomy.

As soon as he saw through Zeng Zheng's tricks, the opponent scored a goal.

This feels really bad!

"Mr. Seth, it's a good thing we only conceded one ball, haven't we?"

"As long as there are sufficient countermeasures in the second half, I think it will not be difficult for us to equalize or even overtake!"

After the teaching assistant's enlightenment, the expression on Seth's face also changed from cloudy to sunny.

Seeing his coach regain his composure, the assistant coach asked cautiously.

"Mr. Seth, what tactics did the Chinese team Zeng use? Why are we so passive today?"

Seth gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "That guy's not ranked 4231 at all!"

"It's 41131!"

"He arranged for a midfielder!!!"
