Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 29 Blood-stained despair and rising hope
  After Chu Feng saw the group results, he analyzed the qualifying situation of each Premier League team.

First up is Manchester United.

Among the Champions League teams full of experts, they not only avoided the old powerhouses such as Real Madrid, Bayern and Juventus.

They were also placed in a group with Benfica, Basel and CSKA Moscow, and their luck was overwhelming.

At least qualifying shouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, if the opponent is weaker, the probability of his appearance will be much higher.

Manchester City also has good luck and is worthy of being a gold player.

Liverpool, who are rushing to enter the Champions League at the end, also got the top lottery. Only Sevilla in the group is relatively strong.

But Klopp may be a little uncomfortable, after all, he encounters Huang Sarenwen every year.

Now I finally understand that it is not my fault, but Dortmund's natural suffering.

The two remaining Premier League teams have had a bit of bad luck.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are like a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks, with endless stories to tell. There is also Serie A powerhouse Roma in the group, and the qualifying situation is complicated and confusing.

Tottenham are in the same group as Real Madrid and Dortmund, and if they are not careful, they can prepare to play in the Europa League.

Chu Feng shook his head and put aside his expectations for the Champions League. He found the videos of Leicester City's first two rounds and browsed them carefully.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Under normal circumstances, the defensive player facing him would be Danny Simpson.

He is also a graduate of Manchester United's youth academy and is considered his senior. He was once favored by Sir Alex Ferguson and promoted to the first team.

correct.

When Giggs' "sister-in-law" scandal broke out, he was confirmed to have had an affair with Giggs' sister-in-law Natasha.

Coupled with his frequent drinking and indulgence, he was eventually kicked out of Manchester United.

But this also made him wake up, as if he was a different person, and he started training hard.

Eventually he became the main member of Leicester City's miraculous championship win in the 15/16 season.

Chu Feng kept pausing the game to record Simpson's technical characteristics.

Every player has his or her own defensive habits, and this is where they can be exploited.

For example, the general defense of fullbacks is to stand in a flat position, with forward and backward steps adapted to the opponent's dominant foot, forcing the opponent to reduce offensive options.

But Simpson is used to blocking one leg and making direct body contact, similar to a tiger's gambling style of rushing down the mountain.

The benefits are great, but so are the risks.

As long as you move quickly enough and consciously touch the ball in advance to get rid of it, you can easily complete the breakthrough.

Of course, although it sounds simple, it is still very difficult to operate in practice.

Unknowingly, Chu Feng fell into sleep.

The next day.

The precise biological clock made Chu Feng wake up early. After washing up, he went downstairs to start today's training.

Because Manchester United players are either participating in World Cup qualifiers or going out to enjoy their holidays.

So there are very few people left in the Carrington training base.

Chu Feng could only do it himself. He first went to the equipment room to get the equipment, and then went to the training ground while humming a tune.

"Mr. Faria, aren't you on vacation?"

Chu Feng just arrived at the training ground and found someone already inside, so he asked doubtfully.

"The boss has already guessed that you will stay, so he asked me to supervise your training."

Faria said as he took out his tablet and couldn't help but sigh.

The boss not only adjusted the plan personally, but also required himself to report on the training progress and effects every day.

He has not seen Mourinho pay so much attention to young players for many years. It must be Chu Feng's performance and talent that makes him happy.

The training content is very basic and can be completed quickly.

Chu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked quickly towards Faria, "Sir, I have a few tactical questions that I don't understand. Can you help me answer them?"

His idea is very simple. Faria has been with Mourinho for 15 years, and his tactical level is definitely not low.

At least there is no problem in clarifying the doubts for yourself. Faria's expression became strange when he heard this, and he tried: "Are you talking about the tactics against Leicester City?"

"Ah."

Chu Feng scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

When Mourinho was coaching Real Madrid, Casillas secretly disclosed internal information and tactics to his girlfriend without permission, causing an irreparable conflict in the locker room.

Therefore, Mourinho is relatively taboo about this aspect, and his behavior of asking about tactics is somewhat like a mole.

Who knew that Faria didn't pay too much attention and said casually: "Actually, the coaching staff has completed the analysis in advance. Let me briefly talk to you first."

"Leicester City's main tactics are simple, solid defense while counterattacking quickly."

"I especially like to occupy the midfield with five people, creating an isolation zone between the opponent's midfield and offensive line, making it difficult for the opponent to penetrate."

"But space will be freed up on the wings."

"At this time, if, I mean if! The players on the field are better at breakthroughs, and they can continuously squeeze Leicester City's defense into the penalty area through rhythmic dribbling."

"Open up space for teammates in the middle and make the team's position advancement more three-dimensional."

"."

Fifteen minutes later, after Faria finished talking about Leicester City's overall tactics, he suddenly remembered Mourinho's instructions and added: "By the way, you analyze it again tonight and then write a summary to me. "

Chu Feng's mouth twitched, thinking that the head coach was finally gone and he still had to do tactical review work.

But he still responded softly: "Okay, Mr. Faria."

time flies.

Training, review, summary
  Chu Feng completed the plan to the letter every day.

He knew that he didn't have much time and he had to improve his strength as much as possible before the game started.

The desperate energy shocked even Faria, and her evaluation of Chu Feng became even higher.

During this period.

The Chinese National Football Team ushered in the last two games of the Asian Qualifiers.

In the end, they defeated Uzbekistan 1-0 and Qatar 2-1.

But these two belated victories did not make Chinese fans happy.

Because they were eliminated.

Since 1981, China's bid for the World Cup has been trapped in a fateful cycle.

Except for the success in 2002, all the others ended in failure.

What is even more regrettable is that the national football team has failed at the last moment seven times, which can be called a bloody and tragic history.

When Chinese fans fell into despair, they subconsciously turned their attention to the distant British continent, hoping to see the rising hope there.

So Chu Feng passively appeared on the Internet hot search.

Stress is a double-edged sword, with both positive and negative effects.

If he were still the same young boy, he would probably be hard-pressed to withstand it.

Fortunately, he came back with a big heart.

I don’t feel much about the comments from the outside world, and I still train down-to-earth.

As the stars changed, the time came to September 9th.

The Manchester United players have returned and are all gathered in the tactical conference room.

Step, step, step!

A clear voice sounded.

Chu Feng subconsciously looked up at the door of the conference room and saw that Mourinho walked in unhurriedly with a tactical board under his arm, and then said something that made his heart beat faster.

"The starting lineup for the game against Leicester City in two days' time will be announced next."
