Fox in the Penalty Area

"Winning is a good thing, but it's not worth the joy."

Li Ziqiang said straight to the point.

"Because the opponent's strength is weaker than ours, it is only natural for us to beat them. Winning does not mean that we played well. In fact, you did not play well in today's game. Guo Ping."

He called a person's name.

The player whose name was called stood up quickly from his seat. He was a tall player. After two days of filming and observation, Lin Xueyi knew that he was the team's main central defender.

"Three times in this game, you chose to drive directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt when faced with the pressure of the opponent's players. Tell me what you thought at that time?"

Li Ziqiang stood leaning on the tactical board, folded his hands on his chest, and watched Guo Ping ask questions.

"Uh... I, I was a little worried at the time, worried about losing the ball, so I chose to kick forward..." Guo Ping explained.

"Worried about losing the ball... that's good." Li Ziqiang nodded. "Then have you ever thought that there are other ways besides driving forward with big feet?"

Guo Ping quickly said: "I have thought about it, Li Zhi. I wanted to pass it to a nearby teammate, but the opponent had already rushed to me at that time, and I didn't have time to find a spare..."

Li Ziqiang took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then why wait until the ball is at your feet and the opponent has already rushed to find someone?"

Guo Ping opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything this time.

"If you had observed the surrounding situation in advance before receiving the ball, how could there be a situation where you waited for the opponent to come up before you went to your teammates? Then why didn't you observe in advance? These three hasty long passes, just Explain that you lost your mind at least three times during the game. You are a central defender and you know what it means to lose your mind during a game."

Li Ziqiang said in a stern tone.

Guo Ping lowered his head.

"I'm not saying you can't pass long balls, but active long balls and passive long balls are two different things. When you face the opponent's pressure and can only make long balls, it means that you have not focused or used your brains during the game. , that’s why we chose the laziest way—direct long pass to the front. The result? The three long passes all made mistakes without exception. What should have been our attack turned into the opponent’s counterattack. Of course, this is not you A person's problem..."

Speaking of this, Li Ziqiang turned to others: "This is a problem for our entire team, or the entire midfield.

When teammates were facing pressure, no one stood up in time to respond to him. You are just watching from your own positions... It's over after a few yells. Are you here to watch the game? ah? Why don't you watch the game on the stage? That view is better! "

Others also bowed their heads under Li Ziqiang's reprimand.

"Play football with your brain, play football with your brain." Li Ziqiang said, pointing to his temple, "What is playing football with your brain? It's not playing football with your imagination. You must keep observing on the court, and you don't have enough observations. , you can’t collect enough information. Without this information, you can’t help you make a correct judgment. Guo Ping, if you can observe more before receiving the ball, you can know that the two opposing players are moving towards you , but at that time there was space on your right side to pass the ball. What about you? Wait until the ball is under your feet and then look at it, it’s too late! Then make more adjustments, the space on the right side is gone, and in the end you can only be blind Big foot, pass the ball to the opponent's foot...

"This game is because the opponent is not strong. What if the opponent is stronger? These three turnovers are enough for the opponent to score. Even you didn't even have a chance to kick the ball, and the ball was intercepted."

Having said that, Li Ziqiang gestured to Guo Ping, motioning him to sit down.

Then he turned around and used the magnetic chess pieces to place the formations of both sides on the tactical board behind him.

After setting it up, Li Ziqiang pointed to the chess pieces of different colors representing the players on the tactical board and said: "This was our counterattack in the 59th minute of the game, but it failed at that time. Zhang Shicong, you are the organizer of this counterattack , tell me why it didn’t work out?”

It was only after Lin Xueyi saw the chess pieces that Li Ziqiang laid out that he recalled the counterattack that failed...

After all, there will be many offenses in the game, but not every offense will be completed.

He didn't expect that Li Ziqiang would even talk about the failed offensive opportunities in the game.

Moreover, Zhang Shicong was the creator of this counterattack - if it wasn't for his successful steal in the midfield, Dongchuan Middle School would never have had such a counterattack opportunity. Although it failed in the end, at least it prevented the opponent's attack.

But listening to what Li Ziqiang meant, it seemed that he wanted to criticize Zhang Shicong.

If it were another coach, maybe Zhang Shicong would have to be praised for his active stealing...

The situation at that time was that Zhang Shicong suddenly intercepted the opponent's player with the ball in the midfield, and after taking the ball, he dribbled the ball across the center line. A striker from Dongchuan Middle School is rushing forward on the nearest right side, but he is surrounded by the opponent's defensive player and has no chance to pass the ball.

At the same time, on the left of Zhang Shicong, there was a striker from Dongchuan Middle School advancing at high speed. He was already stuck in front of the opponent's player, and there was a huge open space in front of him.

But Zhang Shicong didn't pass the ball over - he was focusing on the football at his feet at the time, and he didn't see his teammates who were advancing at high speed on the left.

In the end, he chose to cross the football to his teammate who advanced from the midfielder position.

Then as soon as the defensive midfielder catches the ball, he faces the pincer attack of two opposing players.

He couldn't go forward, so he had to stop suddenly and slow down, and then passed the football back to the teammate who came up to meet him. The teammate also faced the opponent's continuous pressing, and did not dare to stop the ball. He moved the football to the right and gave it to the forward right back.

At the same time, the opponent's players quickly replayed their positions, and Dongchuan Middle School lost the opportunity to counterattack. They could only back and forth and look for opportunities again.

In fact, this is not a big problem. In a game, there will always be one or another unsuccessful counterattack.

Lin Xueyi looked at the formation diagram that Li Ziqiang reproduced on the tactical board. The situation at that time was clear at a glance. I believe other young players could also see that there was a better choice than the cross pass.

Sure enough, Zhang Shicong replied: "I shouldn't pass it across, but I should pass it to Rong Yi who is on the left."

"Then why didn't you pass it on to Rong Yi immediately?" Li Ziqiang continued to ask.

Zhang Shicong lowered his head and said, "I didn't observe the situation over there in time..."

"Oh, that's right." Li Ziqiang said, "I didn't observe in time. In fact, your performance in stealing the ball suddenly is already very good, but from good to excellent, the only thing that is worse is to observe this step in time. Because your sudden attack destroyed For an attack by the opponent, I can give you 60 points, which is a pass. But if you can observe in time and pass the football to the open space on the left wing, then I can give you 90 points.”

After speaking, he motioned for Zhang Shicong to sit down.

Then he said to the team players: "Observation, observation. After all, it is still observation. I always emphasize observation to you, because observation is the basis of football. When you can't observe on the pitch, you won't make decisions. , If you don’t make decisions, you will never try to improve. Have you watched the world preliminaries of the Chinese team and Syria?”

Everyone nodded.

"The goal scored by Chen Xingyi is familiar to everyone, right? At that time, the Chinese team was still kicking back and forth in the backcourt, but they scored a goal a few seconds later. How did they score? It seems very simple. Xia Xiaoyu received the goal from the backcourt The ball came from the field, turned around and made a straight pass, then Chen Xingyi sprinted in the ribs, successfully turned offside, hit the far corner after receiving the ball, and scored. It's simple, isn't it? But have any of you ever scored a goal? In the previous ten seconds, how many times did Xia Xiaoyu observe the surrounding situation?"

This question not only stunned all the players in the locker room, but even Lin Xueyi was stunned.

What kind of tricky question is this? !

Of course, no one answered.

Li Ziqiang announced the answer: "Five times."

He extended a slap.

"When the Chinese team was still in the backcourt, he started to look back and observe the situation ahead, so he was able to see the gaps in Syria's defense and noticed Chen Xingyi's forward drive. In this way, when he received When the ball arrives, he doesn’t need to stop the ball to observe at all, he can turn around and pass through. We used to say that Chinese players like to play meaningless in the backcourt, and even regarded the backcourt as a common problem of Chinese players. But Whether it makes sense to play backwards depends on what the players do when they are reversed. If it’s just passing the ball to each other, it really doesn’t make sense. But if every player can observe the surrounding situation when they are reversed, Then the inverted foot is a preparatory action to paralyze the opponent and tear apart the line of defense."

The players showed expressions of admiration one after another, as expected of our seniors from Dongchuan Middle School! Really awesome!

Seeing their expressions, Li Ziqiang asked again: "Do you think five observations in ten seconds is too much? Then let me tell you, in European professional leagues, very good players have to observe seven or eight times. Ordinary players It also needs to be done four or five times. In other words, Xia Xiaoyu is only the standard of an ordinary player in Europe, with an average score. And such a player can play like a midfielder in the top 12. Now Do you know why the former Japanese and South Korean teams were always able to participate in the World Cup?"

※※※

After commenting on the mistakes made in almost all positions, Li Ziqiang named the last player.

"Rong Yi."

Rong Yi, whose name was called, stood up nervously and looked at Li Ziqiang nervously.

Lin Xueyi was very concerned about this person, and he roughly knew why Li Ziqiang called him.

Because he made two mistakes with the ball in the game, not only did Dongchuan Middle School fail to fight back, but it also gave the opponent a chance to fight back.

Lin Xueyi guessed that when Li Ziqiang called him up, he might criticize him for not being too independent, and should pass the opportunity to his teammates in other positions.

Rong Yi himself knew this, that's why he was so nervous - he was obviously intimidated by Li Ziqiang's posture of criticizing the players one by one just now.

But to the surprise of both Lin Xueyi and Rong Yi himself, Li Ziqiang did not criticize him, but praised him instead:

"He played well, especially when he dared to make moves on the court and dare to break through. You must maintain it well. Although there were two turnovers, it didn't matter. Compared with being afraid of losing the ball, being afraid of facing your opponent is more fatal."

When facing Rong Yi, Li Ziqiang was unexpectedly amiable and tolerant.
