Fox in the Penalty Area

"Li Yi, why did you suddenly abandon your position and run to the forward point during that corner kick defense?"

In the locker room, Liang Yuanhao, the head coach of Shuguang High School, was questioning the central defender Li Yi. To put it bluntly, Li Yi suddenly left his defense zone when the goal was lost, causing the defense in front of Shuguang High School to be in chaos.

"I... I thought Hu Lai would go to the front point to fight for the header..." Li Yi explained.

"What do you think? Do you think it's true? You never thought that the other party was just trying to turn the tiger away!"

Li Yi was so scolded that he bowed his head, unable to make any excuses.

Seeing his teammates being criticized by the head coach, Chen Xingyi thought about it and stood up: "Coach, Li Yi's worries are justified, that Hu Lai has always been cunning. If Li Yi doesn't follow, maybe the opponent Did you really kick the football to the front and let Hu Lai compete for the top? It can only be said that Li Yi followed his lead this time."

Hearing Chen Dui speaking for him and talking about Hu Lai's cunning, Li Yi quickly raised his head and opened his mouth to speak.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Liang Yuanhao said angrily upon seeing this.

"It's like this, coach, I admit that I made a mistake in this defense. But just before this corner kick, Hu Lai told me himself that he would give up competing with Team Chen for the top scorer, and he would help his teammates pull the ball. Open our defenses..."

"Hehe, so you believed it?" Liang Yuanhao sneered.

"I didn't believe it at the time, coach. It's just that the corner kick was indeed caused by Xia Xiaoyu's sudden shot, and then their corner kick also kicked the football to Mao Xiao, not him. The reason why he scored was just luck. It's just about the football landing... I don't want to make excuses for my mistakes, I just hope that everyone in the second half of the game should be careful not only a fool..."

After finishing speaking, Li Yi lowered his head again, as if obediently admitting that he had made a mistake.

Liang Yuanhao fell into a short silence after listening to his words. He also did not expect that Hu Lai and Li Yi had such a conversation before the goal.

Is this the opponent deliberately playing psychological warfare?

There is such a possibility.

But it does not mean that the opponent will not adjust tactics.

Especially after the intermission, Li Ziqiang will certainly not be indifferent to this. Since he could make targeted arrangements based on Chen Xingyi's information, why wouldn't Li Ziqiang also make adjustments based on the information provided by Hu Lai?

In the first half of the game, Dongchuan Middle School did intend to regard Hu Lai as the final terminator of the offense, but what about the second half?

Would he dare to bet that Hu Lai would not give up the chance to score goals to other teammates, and he would shoot all the balls by himself? Bet on Hu Lai to dare to fight against the head coach's order on the court for a golden boot?

Liang Yuanhao didn't dare to gamble.

So he said to the whole team: "Li Yi is right, we must pay more attention to other Dongchuan Middle School players in the second half, especially Shen Yulin and Xia Xiaoyu..."

※※※

At the same time, in the locker room of Dongchuan Middle School, Li Ziqiang also said to Shen Yulin and Xia Xiaoyu: "In the second half, you should be more active in finding opportunities to score goals and share the defensive pressure for Hu Lai. At the same time, Hu Lai."

He looked at Hu Lai again.

Hu Lai immediately straightened his back.

"I know that your physical fitness will definitely be affected by the game. But in the second half of the game, you still have to expand your defensive range, don't just stand in front, run more and involve others, and create opportunities for others..."

Hu Lai patted his chest and said proudly: "Coach, don't worry, I have no physical problems at all!"

He was telling the truth. After drinking a bottle of [Physical Potion] earlier, all the stamina he had consumed in the semi-final against Chongwen Middle School was fully recovered.

After playing for half the game, his stamina really only consumed the stamina of half the game, unlike others, it was this half plus the physical energy consumed in the previous four games...

However, Li Ziqiang only regarded Hu Lai's remarks as his usual exaggeration, glared at him, and asked him to pay attention to his words and deeds, but didn't say anything else.

※※※

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Off the court, Liang Yuanhao found that Hu Lai's range of activities had indeed expanded, and he was not just fixed in the penalty area waiting to score a goal.

From this point of view, Li Ziqiang must have made targeted adjustments, allowing Hu Lai to shoulder the task of tearing apart the defense and creating opportunities for his teammates.

If I didn't make arrangements accordingly, and let my defensive players give priority to defending Hu Lai, I'm afraid that my defense will be ripped out by the opponent...

Fortunately, I am good at listening to the opinions of the players, not the kind of headstrong coach who thinks he is the most authoritative and the players know nothing.

After the start of the second half, the Dongchuan Middle School players discovered that Shuguang High School had also made targeted deployments. Xia Xiaoyu and Shen Yulin did not have the chance to get shots as easily as in the first half.

The game was somewhat deadlocked.

However, this balanced situation was broken not long after. Shuguang High School still had to be superior, and their offensive was even fiercer, faintly overwhelming Dongchuan Middle School.

"Your father's idea is right, Qingqing." Yang Mingwei in front of the TV explained to Li Qingqing while watching the game, "He wants to use Hu Lai to attract the opponent's defensive attention and create opportunities for others. But the problem The overall strength of Dongchuan Middle School is not as good as that of Shuguang High School. The No. 9 center is Shen Yulin, right? His shooting skills are relatively mediocre, his scoring ability is far worse than that of Hu Lai, and he is easier to defend. In addition The head coach of Shuguang High School also made targeted arrangements, which can be said to be tit-for-tat... In this case, the final comparison is the overall strength of the two teams... If there is a player who is good at assault at this time... "

Li Qingqing thought, Uncle Yang, you really love Luo Kai...

"But Dongchuan Middle School doesn't have such players." Li Qingqing asked, "Uncle Yang, what do you think we should do?"

"Shrink the defensive line and play a counterattack. In this competition, Dongchuan Middle School scored several counterattack goals like this. It is feasible to replace individual dribbling assaults with overall fast passes and cuts. At the same time, the opponent does not care about the counterattack Whether the upper defensive formation is completely intact, there will be a lot of gaps that can be used by Hu Lai. The only problem is physical fitness. The players from Dongchuan Middle School have been exhausted in the previous four games. I don’t know how long they can last in the final , especially the offensive players, they need to return to the defense in time, and they have to press up immediately when they counterattack, which is a test for their physical fitness."

Li Qingqing also admitted that Uncle Yang's arrangement was the best.

In fact, in the live TV broadcast, she had already seen her father get up from the coach seat and walk to the sidelines.

Might just be an adjustment.

It's just that Dongchuan Middle School is in control of the ball now, so there is no need to make adjustments now. If you want to adjust, you have to wait until the game enters a dead ball situation, or when Suguang High School is in possession of the ball...

In the second half, Hu Lai's range of activities was indeed wider. When Dongchuan Middle School took the ball to attack, he retreated to the forward line and received the ball with his back to the attacking direction.

Of course, there must be Shuguang High School players behind him.

Even if it's not Li Yi, there are other people who should appear in this position.

Hu Lai had no way to turn around, and moved the football laterally to the side, to the full-back Yang Fan who inserted behind him.

Then he turned around and ran into the restricted area by himself.

After Yang Fan received the ball, players from Shuguang High School immediately went up to prevent him from dribbling the ball so easily.

Seeing this, Yang Fan passed the football to Ma Shuang, the winger who retreated to meet him, and then went forward by himself.

Because Ma Shuang received the ball with his back facing the attacking direction, he couldn't dribble the ball through, but he didn't immediately pass the football back to Yang Fan who was going forward, because there were still people in Shuguang High School defending Yang Fan over there. His intention of going forward too obvious.

So Ma Shuang passed the football back to the middle and gave it to Xia Xiaoyu.

Xia Xiaoyu had already looked at the space before he caught the ball - because Ma Shuang's transfer to the center attracted the attention of the Shuguang High School players, everyone turned their attention to the center, which led to a space on their side.

And that space is exactly the direction Yang Fan is going forward.

Xia Xiaoyu didn't stop the ball and directly passed the football. The football flew over the heads of the players on both sides and fell straight into the gap.

Yang Fan stepped in and appeared in the space to catch the ball!

The cheers of neutral fans cheering for Dongchuan Middle School sounded from the stands!

After Yang Fan raised his foot to unload the football, he made some adjustments, and instead of passing the ball immediately, he continued to take it to the sidewalk of Shuguang High School.

Zhou Haoxuan, the left back of Shuguang High School, stood in front of him cautiously and did not make a rash move.

At the same time, their midfielder Zheng Qian quickly returned to the defense, ready to defend Yang Fan with Zhou Haoxuan.

At the same time, in the penalty area, Shen Yulin was entangled with the opponent's central defender Hu Qiyan. Both of them made some movements. Shen Yulin wanted to get rid of the opponent, while Hu Qiyan used both hands and feet to get his body stuck inside, preventing Shen Yulin from being able to Successfully landed.

In addition, Hu Lai was also beside Shen Yulin, facing Li Yi, and the four of them huddled together near the penalty spot.

In addition to them, in the penalty area of ​​Shuguang High School, there are also right back Sun Xiaohai who retreated to the goal, and full-back Zhang Hongtao who returned to defense - he ran into the penalty area with Tang Yuan, who went forward from Dongchuan Middle School , and now he is responsible for defending Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan is in the rib of the penalty area, occupying the back position.

Fei Yi, the midfielder of Shuguang High School, also entered the penalty area. He didn't go to the middle to join in the fun, but got stuck in the ribs close to the football. If Yang Fan passes the inverted triangle ball and passes the football to Xia Xiaoyu who is going forward in the middle, then he can just get stuck in the passing route, making it difficult for Xia Xiaoyu to receive the ball. This is better than directly sticking to Xia Xiaoyu's defense. It can not only mark people, but also take care of the area defense.

Goalkeeper Pei Jie defended the front point, while blocking the angle, he also guarded against Yang Fan's cross.

Everyone was ready. It would be great if Zhou Haoxuan could stop Yang Fan, but if he couldn't, a net had already been set up in the penalty area against Dongchuan Middle School's attack.

Facing the full-back Zhou Haoxuan who didn't come up, Yang Fan suddenly brought the football into the penalty area, as if he wanted to force a one-on-one with Zhou Haoxuan!

But as soon as he took a step forward, he kicked up and passed the football to the goal!

Zhou Haoxuan was originally defending against his breakthrough, but now that he suddenly made a pass, he only had time to raise his foot, trying to block his pass! But the football didn't fly up and hit his leg, but it flew past the turf, slipped off from his raised leg, and rushed forward!

When Yang Fan rushed forward with the ball, Hu Lai made a sudden move forward, leaning forward with his body center of gravity, as if he wanted to seize a favorable position in front of the goal and in the middle, causing Li Yi to retreat quickly.

But Hu Lai was just a feint. After tricking Li Yi into retreating, he stopped his tendency to lean forward, stopped abruptly, retreated, and moved forward from Shen Yulin's side!

Li Yi was shocked when he saw this, and immediately wanted to intercept Hu Lai.

But at this time, Shen Yulin suddenly pushed forward desperately, and bumped into Li Yi's advancing route, and the two of them collided firmly.

Hu Qiyan, who was originally defending Shen Yulin, reacted fairly quickly. After noticing the movements of Shen Yulin and Hu Lai, especially when he saw Shen Yulin and Li Yi bumping into each other, he immediately withdrew, wanting to help Li Yi defend Hu Lai.

It's just that he has been left behind by Hu Lai.

In fact, he had just turned around when he saw the football rolling towards Hu Lai, and Hu Lai, who was going around in front of him, faced the rolling football and flicked it with the outside of his right foot!

The football quickly changed its line and flew towards the back of the goal!

Pei Jie, who was blocking the shot and guarding against the cross, was moving back with the cross, when he saw the football flying towards him, he raised his arms reflexively, and made a sideways save...it was still slow!

The football flew into the goal before his fingertips!
