Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man!

Chapter 281 Being beaten? Indoor five-a-side football!

Bai Ran got off the taxi and came to the periphery of the venue. He immediately heard noisy shouting and the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground.

Bai Ran took a deep breath of the air in the stadium and felt a familiar smell.

From Neymar, Bai Ran had more or less learned about five-a-side football. Five-a-side football appeared in South America in the 1950s and 1960s. It was the only entertainment for the poor children at the lowest level of society. Four bricks were used to set up two doors. A large group of barefoot poor boys fought in the streets, on every open space, and on the beach, enjoying the fun that football brought them.

At the same time, they also had a beautiful vision, hoping to become professional football players one day, to solve their own food and clothing problems, and to maintain their family income.

It was in such an environment that a group of peerless stars emerged: Pele, Garrincha, Kempes, and Maradona.

These famous superstars were actually just naughty boys playing football on the street. No one expected that they would develop into top sports figures.

Although the development time of five-a-side football is relatively short, its competition method has a high training value. At the same time, its interesting and flexible characteristics can enrich amateur cultural life and cultivate sentiment.

It mainly reflects the skills mastered by athletes, the use of complex and colorful techniques, the variety of tactics, the unpredictable changes, the fast changes in offense and defense, the ups and downs of the game, the excitement, the unpredictable victory and defeat, and the frequent dramatic changes. This is the charm of five-a-side football.

Whether in Europe, America, or Asia, almost all fans around the world are keen on this sport. During the winter break of the European League, European giants will also participate in the European Five-a-side Indoor Football Championship.

Due to the small field and small number of players in five-a-side football, each player has more opportunities to touch the ball, and the distance between the players is small, the competition between the two sides is more intense, the speed of attack and defense conversion is faster, and the skills and tactics are more flexible. Therefore, the use of toe kicking, foot stopping, fast short pass and low pass cooperation and personal ball control techniques are more common, which is very beneficial to improving the actual combat ability of the players.

In each game, each team can shoot more than 26 times, and the number of goals is generally more than double that of 11-a-side. The main shooting methods are pass-cut breakthrough shooting, personal dribbling breakthrough shooting, side cross-over shooting, supplementary shooting, etc., so not only the competition is fierce, requiring meticulous and fast technology, but also many goals. Therefore, it is not only good for viewing, but also conducive to cultivating the shooting ability of the players.

This is exactly what Bai Ran needs.

The practice of ball sense and the training of small-scale foot skills are a shortcut for him to complete the task.

When he came to the stadium, Bai Ran saw that the walls were all decorated with lion patterns. When he came to the front desk, the young lady greeted Bai Ran enthusiastically: "Hello."

"Do you have an appointment?"

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment. He needed an appointment! ?

Neymar seemed to have told him before that he would tell him when he came, but Bai Ran forgot about it.

"If you don't have an appointment, is it not possible?"

Bai Ran asked, and the young lady showed a regretful expression on her face.

"I'm sorry, the venue is reserved for the team. If there is a football match initiated by your friends, you can go in, but if not, please go back and make an appointment with your team before coming."

Bai Ran also scratched his head, looking difficult to say.

At this time, a short and thin man ran over and said at the front desk: "Get a bottle of water."

Bai Ran looked closely and was a little shocked.

What surprised him was not anything else, but the person in front of him was actually an Asian! ?

In Spain, it is still difficult to see Asians. Bai Ran surprisingly felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

"Hey, how are you?"

Seeing that Bai Ran also had an Asian face, the man couldn't help but look up and smiled.

Bai Ran nodded and smiled: "Hello."

The man said: "Come to play football? Or come to watch the game."

Although Bai Ran was a little embarrassed, he still told the current situation.

"Ah..."

"It's a bit embarrassing, but I want to play football. I've never been to such a place before. I didn't know I had to make an appointment, so..."

"See you another day."

The Asian man took the water handed by the front desk lady, unscrewed it, drank a few sips, and turned his head away and said: "Oh my God, don't say those words."

"Come and play with us?"

"There are three venues here where the game is going on, and they are all people from our club."

"Want to play together?"

As he said, the Asian man ordered the Asian lady: "Go get another bottle of water."

The lady was a little helpless, and she turned back just after running over.

And Bai Ran was very excited, there is such a good thing! ?

"Okay!"

"Thank you, where are you from?"

In fact, at this moment, Bai Ran was eager for the other party to blurt out that it was China. After all, it is a very happy thing to meet a fellow countryman abroad.

The Asian said: "My name is Takahashi Yoichi, from Japan."

It turned out to be a Japanese player who lived a good life.

Bai Ran felt sorry for a while, but it was okay. This life was relatively friendly, and it must be said that the football culture of other countries is indeed better, and there are many things worth learning.

How about training here? Playing games with them may help you improve your skills a lot.

Although professional players come to play wild football, it is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack. This has been fulfilled before in North America, but it is different from the five-a-side game. Looking at the opponent's appearance, they seem to be quite professional. You must know that the five-a-side game is also There is a professional league, and it is not small.

Bai Ran readily agreed and walked into the football stadium with Takahashi Yoichi.

The young lady at the front desk had just walked over, but the two of them had disappeared a long time ago. Their faces were full of questions. Do you want some water?

In the stadium, Takahashi Yoichi and the people from all over the world shouted loudly: "I have brought a new person to play with us."

"Welcome!"

The athletes on both sides stopped and looked over. Bai Ran thought to himself, it seems that Takahashi Yoichi has some status in the team, and these people listen to his orders.

If you take a closer look, you can see that there are Europeans and Asians among them, with different colors of skin, eyes, and hair. It seems that this club comes from different places.

"Hello, I'm from China."

Bai Rantian smiled calmly and greeted them.

"What position do you play?"

When Takahashi Yoichi asked a question, Bai Ran subconsciously answered: "Midfielder."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked this way.

"puff……"

Takahashi Yoichi laughed out loud first, then looked at Bai Ran and patted him on the shoulder: "Have you never been exposed to five-a-side football?"

Bai Ran didn't know what they were laughing at. What Takahashi Yoichi said was true, so Bai Ran nodded.

"yes."

"First time here."

Yoichi Takahashi said patiently: "The player positions of futsal are mainly divided into three types: forward, defender and goalkeeper. Futsal is a variant of football. In futsal, each team only has 5 players. players to play instead of the usual 11."

"As I said, there is no midfield position."

"In such a small venue, there are only ten players participating in the game, and two are goalkeepers. How can it be possible to separate the forwards, defenders and midfielders from the remaining four players!"

Bai Ran suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. He had ignored this problem just now, which was really a bit stupid.

"Oh...then I'll play forward!"

After all, Bai Ran's own defense would probably be a disaster in this situation.

Those defensive skills in the professional arena are probably not used here. Those large movements and fierce physical confrontations are not allowed here.

It tests the players' consciousness and skills even more, and it is simply a paradise for training.

However, although these players have excellent foot skills, the reason why they cannot play professional games is that they lack physical fitness and endurance. This is a fatal lack.

If they were asked to play a 90-minute game in a large professional football stadium, they would probably be exhausted to death. Not to mention 90 minutes, they wouldn't be able to cope even with half the game.

This is the difference.

We can't say who is better than the other, we can only say that each has his own strengths.

As a forward, Bai Ran was assigned to team A.

From Takahashi Yoichi, Bai Ran learned that this was a local futsal club, a regular football team that participated in the local sub-professional league.

It is a formal club with a serious group behind it, a head coach and everything.

The club's name is "Lions".

Their team is currently reserving personnel. Today's game is also a test for the newcomers, and Bai Ran is in the team of newcomers. Team B is all veteran players of the Lions. Their skills at their feet and the team's Cooperation is perfect.

Team A, on the other hand, has to pass the exam before they can proceed to the next step. It is not easy to be elected as a Lions player.

Bai Ran and his teammates formed a circle. In his own half of the court, Bai Ran also got to know a few teammates first.

One of them, Huang Mao, is relatively thin and should be a forward like himself.

The other two people, one was square and square, with pierced ears, tall and powerful, must be a defender, while the other was wearing a white waistcoat, and his dark-brown complexion showed that he was not European and should also be a defender.

The only one left with a larger body is the goalkeeper.

After getting to know my teammates, the game started immediately.

Several veterans on the other side were eager to try, and looked over playfully, thinking about how to ravage them.

Every year when the team selects players from the outside world, it goes through this scene. This is also a warm-up game for the veteran players.

If they don't play to a score of 20-0, they haven't tried their best.

The game officially started, and Bai Ran was gearing up to see what this futsal was all about.

After the opening, the opponent's Yoichi Takahashi was in the formation, controlling the ball and directing the movement of his teammates. At this time, Bai Ran stepped forward to press, and Takahashi Yoichi moved the ball to the left and then pulled back.

Bai Ran thought: Isn't this a trivial matter? He often uses this kind of action during games.

After that, Takahashi Yoichi dribbled the ball to the right again, pulling the ball laterally with his body. Bai Ran concentrated on trying to steal the ball, and at the same time gave a signal to his teammates behind him to let them keep an eye on the opponent.

But at this time, Yoichi Takahashi actually picked up the ball with his toes. Seeing this, Bai Ran stretched out his feet to steal the ball. However, Yoichi Takahashi made a coherent movement and knocked the ball gently with his knee. He flew out and picked the ball back with his toes!

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, and then Takahashi Yangichi suddenly rushed past Bai Ran and passed Bai Ran completely!

ah?

Bai Ran didn't even react, "I'll go, is it so fancy?"

Is this futsal?

Takahashi Yoichi did not stick to the ball when advancing, and passed the ball to his teammates on the wing.

The player dribbled the ball, and after passing through the crotch of the yellow hair, he stepped on the bicycle twice cleanly, turned around brilliantly and shook off the brown-skinned player, and knocked the ball with his back heel to Yoichi Takahashi.

The latter's shot was a crisp one, low and flat, powerful and heavy, and the angle was extremely tricky!

The goal was scored!

Takahashi Yoichi took a deep breath and high-fived his teammates: "Good shot."

"Well done."

Only then did Bai Ran realize that just one minute into the game, the opponent scored.

The pace of the five-a-side game is too fast!

Their foot movements were extremely sharp and extremely fast, making people dazzled.

Moreover, when controlling the ball, his feet seem to be glued to the ball, and his ball feel is particularly good, even as good as many professional players.

This really shocked Bai Ran. It turned out that this was a five-a-side game!

Different from professional games, the most important thing in small courts is the ability to pass the ball quickly. It is very important to release the ball with one kick. If you hesitate for a moment, you will defend closely, and it will be difficult to release the ball again.

The tacit understanding between the players is also very important, because there will not be a lot of time for you to observe the situation and movement on the field.

You can quickly improve these two points by training a lot of lap grabbing. In addition, every player needs to have a good sense of position, because when attacking, they basically have to press forward. It is also very important to be able to quickly return to the defensive position once the attack fails.

Their movements are smooth and smooth, and their passing and awareness are also in place. In a small space, it can test the player's accuracy of touching the ball. This is a performance that Bai Ran can't see at all in the professional arena.

Moreover, when playing football in this small venue, it is very important to have a sense of smell. Due to the fast pace of the five-a-side game, gaps will appear at all times. When not holding the ball, you must actively move and seek gaps. , after a teammate shoots, you must judge the landing point and seek a follow-up shot.

Then you have to constantly put pressure on the opponent's backcourt. If you encounter a ball-sticking backcourt, there is a high chance of intercepting the ball. Pass more and dribble less.

It is difficult to perform with multiple players in the five-a-side system. Due to the emphasis on physical confrontation and the small space, timely delivery of the ball is a better choice.

For example, after Yoichi Takahashi passed Bai Ran just now, even though there was a large space in front of him, he still chose to pass to his teammates on the wing.

This is to ensure that his teammates still have enough space to operate after getting the ball, and he can also make passes in the backcourt.

Then the choice of passing should also be distinguished. When there is a space, the pass must be decisive. If the space is gone, steady passing should be the main one. Control the tempo when your teammates are pressing forward and don't risk passing the ball forward.

A decisive shot in the penalty area. If you receive a pass in the penalty area, it is best to touch the ball and shoot directly. Once you adjust the opportunity, it may disappear. If you lose the opportunity, you must control the ball.

In the following game, Bai Ran watched the opposing players pass the ball with one or two kicks and then score. In the past ten minutes of the game, they had already scored 6 goals.

Team A, on the other hand, did not score a single goal.

But Team B has become accustomed to it. This is what happens every year. It is normal for the newcomers to be completely abused. Since the establishment of this club, no newcomer has been able to score a goal for them in the test match.

Fortunately, Bai Ran was exposed to things he had never seen before. In this short period of time, he had already learned a lot from the other party.

If this trend continues, Bai Ran will be able to improve his level in this field and it will be just around the corner.

Due to the small playing field of futsal and the fast transition between offense and defense, you can shoot directly after getting the ball in the frontcourt or midfield. Therefore, the requirements for passing accuracy are particularly high, whether passing the ball under the foot or passing into the gap. The ball requires the passing force and direction to be just right.

In addition, because the venue is small, the passing distance between each other is short, and there is no need for vigorous long-distance passes. At the same time, in terms of tactical play, each team pays attention to technology, fast passing, fast dribbling, fast running, and local tactics. Cooperation makes the part drive the whole. Therefore, "fast, accurate and stable" are the passing requirements for athletes in five-a-side games.

After Bai Ran's observation, it was found that most of the opponent's passes were ground balls and low balls. The frequency and success rate of using the ball catching and controlling techniques with the forefoot and the inside of the foot were higher than other ball catching and controlling techniques.

They use the inside of their feet to catch and control the ball, which allows them to touch the ball over a large area, and use the body's cover to control the ball. Using the soles of their feet to catch and control the ball is also their main method of receiving and controlling the ball.

During the game, catching the ball with the ball of the foot is not only easy to catch the ball to the required position, but also often deceives the defender by shaking the upper body. Especially when the back is turned to the offensive direction and the defender is close behind, the player often leans on the ball. He touches the defender and drags the ball with the balls of his feet, making it difficult for the defender to judge the next intention of the ball controller, which is concealed.

More importantly, after controlling the ball in front of the foot, combined with the purposeful use of pulling the ball to the side and behind the sole of the foot, you can play a "pick-and-roll" tactic similar to basketball tactics in front of the opponent's goal, directly threatening the opponent's goal, and often Used in set-piece tactics, control the ball with the soles of your feet to create shooting opportunities for your teammates.

At the first half of the game, Bai Ran's side trailed Team B 0-7.

Their offensive was all-pervasive, and their passing moves were quite gorgeous. Faced with Takahashi Yoichi's dribbling, there was nothing they could do.

No, in the second half, we have to think of other ways.
