Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1768 It’s not messed up

Peng Weijun had just returned from the warm-up area and was sitting on the bench with his teammates, watching the game going on on the field.

The current real-time score is displayed on the big screen:

1:0.

The Lingnan South China tiger is temporarily ahead of the Cairo native.

At the same time, there are still fifteen minutes left in the game.

The South China Tigers have been fully recovered, and the Cairo people are attacking with all their strength.

During this period, the South China Tigers' defense was under tremendous pressure, and they only led by one goal - the most dangerous score in the world.

Head coach Qin Lin stood on the sidelines, frowning.

He is under tremendous pressure.

Not only because the team is currently only leading by one goal, which is really not safe.

It is also because he has to make a decision next that may affect the final result of the game.

The game lasted fifteen minutes, and he still had the last substitution spot in hand.

According to the current offensive momentum of the Cairo people, it is unlikely that he will delay the last substitution until the last few minutes, so it is impossible to use substitutions to delay time.

He must make a decision now and adjust as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we withstand the opponent's offensive.

According to common sense, just replace the defensive player at this time.

The decision was not difficult to make.

But Qin Lin was hesitant because he always felt that a one-goal lead was too unsafe.

If the last substitution spot is used up at this time and a defensive player is replaced, it means that in the next ten minutes of the game, the team loses the power to counterattack and can only squat down with its head in hand, passively being beaten.

Who can guarantee that this one-goal lead will be maintained?

Football is round.

Not to mention that the South China Tigers are actually not stronger than the Cairo people. If the Cairo people are allowed to go out in full force and attack without any worries, the South China Tigers will lose the ball at the last moment of the game, and then there will be no way to recover. .

A draw at the last minute of the game would be a heavy blow to the morale of the South China Tigers players.

Qin Lin didn't want this to happen in the end.

He hopes to maintain the strength to fight back.

So he turned around and looked at the bench,

It fell on Peng Weijun, who had just returned from warming up.

He walked up and called Peng Weijun:

"Get ready to show up."

※※※

After Peng Weijun high-fived Wang Zijian who was coming off the field, he ran onto the court with his head held high.

He didn't expect that he would still have a chance to play - after seeing that the team was only leading by one goal, he felt that it was impossible for the head coach Qin Lin to replace offensive players.

Because what the team needs is defense.

As a result, the head coach pulled him and asked him to go up and prepare for a counterattack.

This is an unexpected surprise!

As an attacker who operates on the left wing, Peng Weijun's speed is his biggest advantage.

If the people of Cairo really come out in full force to besiege the South China Tiger, then there is really a chance to fight back.

At that time, whether he scores a goal or assists his teammates to seal the victory, he will be able to show his face in front of the head coach.

Maybe I can get another chance to play in the semifinals?

Thinking of this, Peng Weijun became more motivated.

He clenched his fists hard, wishing he could score a goal with his first touch of the ball...

※※※

"Qin Lin replaced Wang Zijian with Peng Weijun. This was a somewhat bold decision. After all, the South China Tigers are being beaten by the Cairo people. Qin Lin replaced one winger with another... Qin Lin still hopes to pass Counterattack to contain the Cairo offensive..."

After Peng Weijun came on the stage, the commentator began to introduce the situation to everyone.

"Peng Weijun is a young player trained by the South China Tigers themselves. He is only 18 years old this year. He has played a total of 12 times in the Chinese Super League this season, eight of which came as a substitute. In the first round of this Club World Cup , he started the game and was replaced in the 62nd minute... Peng Weijun is not tall, but he is very fast and has the ability to score from long range. If he replaces him, Qin Lin will definitely hope to use Peng Weijun's speed to harass And to contain the Cairo people from attacking..."

Just when the commentator was introducing Peng Weijun to everyone, the game on the field was also going on.

The Cairoans attacked again.

They played from the left to the right. South China Tigers' left back Qu Lu and the opponent's forward ran to the spot where the football landed, and then jumped up to fight for the top.

Qu Lu hit the ball first. Because he was not aware of the surrounding situation, he rubbed the football backwards and out of the sideline.

But when he landed, he was pushed by the opponent's forward, lost his balance in the air, and fell down like a green onion!

Then he fell heavily with his shoulders touching the ground first...

After landing, Qu Lu did not get up again. He covered his left shoulder with his hand, his expression in pain.

The commentator also immediately exclaimed: "Qu Lu seems to be injured... a Cairo player carried someone during the top battle. This is a foul!"

"Hold!"

When Qin Lin saw this scene on the sidelines, he couldn't help but cursed.

He just used up the last substitution spot...

He has no one available.

If Qu Lu really couldn't persist in the game, he wouldn't even be able to make substitutions!

"Change to three defenders?" the assistant coach suggested from the side.

Qin Lin shook his head simply: "It can't be changed. There is a big difference between three defenders and four defenders. We have not prepared for the three defenders at all."

"Then this..."

Qin Lin turned his attention to Peng Weijun, who had just come on the stage, and then said as if he had made a lot of determination:

"Let Peng Weijun retreat and play the role of left back!"

※※※

Peng Weijun looked at Qu Lu being carried to the sideline on a stretcher, and his mind was still a little confused - he had just received the latest instructions from the assistant coach, asking him to retreat to the full-back position, replacing Qu Lu, and making a temporary guest appearance at left back.

He just felt that the picture he had imagined just now was falling apart bit by bit.

No matter what goals or assists... it has nothing to do with him.

Just now, while Qu Lu was being examined by the team doctor, he was pulled to the sidelines by the assistant coach for a face-to-face interview.

The previous arrangement of "always ready to counterattack" was gone, and he was replaced by a full-back.

At first, Peng Weijun reflexively wanted to show that he would not defend, but when he caught a glimpse of the head coach Qin Lin standing next to the assistant coach, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He nodded and said: "Okay, I will defend with all my strength!"

So just like that, Peng Weijun became a "glorious left back".

※※※

"Can he really?"

The assistant coach looked at Peng Weijun and asked Qin Lin.

Qin Lin looked at Peng Weijun standing on the wing and shouted to him: "Get down! Get down! Peng Weijun! Pay attention to the positions of you and your teammates!"

After yelling, he answered the assistant coach's question: "You have to learn."

※※※

After Peng Weijun heard the head coach's call, he turned to his right to observe the positions of him and his teammates.

Playing at left back is a novel experience for him, and he is indeed not used to it.

For example, the reason why he was trained by the head coach just now was because he unknowingly moved his position forward - in fact, he still cares about his position and requires himself to be a "left back".

But as an offensive player, his blood genes still affected him unconsciously, making him move forward involuntarily, and he didn't even realize it.

It wasn't until the head coach reminded him that he realized that he was about to change from a full-back to a full-midfielder...

But after he retreated, he quickly moved forward slowly.

It wasn't until the Cairo people hit the ball here that he realized that he had lost his position again.

And because he was too far forward, a gap appeared behind him, and he was caught by the Cairo people!

The opponent made a diagonal pass and stuffed it into the space behind him!

"Cairo people's transfer! There's a chance!"

Peng Weijun turned around and saw this scene, and his hair stood up.

He started the last game and had no offensive success.

This time he came off the bench as a left back. If he can't do well defensively...then he won't even have a chance to come off the bench in the next game.

Although he is a guest left back, his poor performance should be excusable.

But Peng Weijun still wanted to fight for himself.

For young players, if they want to get more playing opportunities, there is no shortcut except hard work.

So after turning around and seeing that he missed someone, Peng Weijun immediately started chasing him back!

At the same time, in front of him, the Cairo forward who was ambushing in the space in advance was running towards the ball, preparing to respond.

From this point of view, Peng Weijun is indeed unqualified as a left back because his defense zone has been penetrated...

There were gasps in the stands.

If the Cairo people equalize the score at this time, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the South China Tigers!

Peng Weijun gritted his teeth and chased back. He felt that he had reached the extreme speed. The only figure in front of him was the figure chasing the football.

Nothing else can be seen.

There was only one thought in his mind - he must stop this ball!

"Peng Weijun! It's so fast!"

The commentator also exclaimed.

Everyone, including the audience in front of the TV, widened their eyes and exclaimed.

In the eyes of these fans, Peng Weijun is chasing back at an extremely alarming speed!

And the Cairo player had no idea!

He only thought that the exclamations from the stands were because Chinese fans were frightened by his team's attack that penetrated the South China Tigers' defense.

The football was in front of him, and he thought he only had to run one more step and stretch out his feet to catch the ball.

Until he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in his ears...

Like a tornado, his vision went dark and a figure appeared in front of him!

It’s the South China Tiger’s No. 28!

Before he could react, the South China Tigers player No. 28 had already poked the ball in front of him away!

"Peng Weijun! Beautiful! He broke the football!"

Upon seeing this, the Cairo players quickly chased after him and tried to get it back.

Unexpectedly, South China Tiger No. 28, who had his back turned to him, suddenly stepped on the football with the soles of his feet and pulled it behind him!

The football passed under the crotch of the Cairo player, and South China Tiger No. 28 turned around close to him and wiped it from outside the sideline!

"Wow! Beautiful! What a great shot!"

Amidst the deafening cheers that erupted in the stands, Peng Weijun caught up with the football and threw away the opponent's player who had just completed his turn. He first gestured to pass the ball to the center, raised his left foot and took a feint, then used the instep of his outside foot to push the football forward. trip!

Then someone else accelerated and rushed up with the ball along the sideline!

In this way, he dribbled the ball to the opponent's bottom line in one breath, and then the Cairo center back blocked his cross from the bottom line. The South China Tigers won a corner kick.

Although there was no direct threat, Peng Weijun's series of operations still won him warm applause from the stands.

Qin Lin, who was on the sidelines, turned to the assistant coach behind him and said, "It's okay. It's not messed up."

Amid thunderous applause and cheers, Peng Weijun gasped and looked around.

He played as a winger in the last game and played for more than 60 minutes without such a highlight.

And today, he had just come on as a substitute for no more than ten minutes, playing as a temporary left back. Unexpectedly, he had won so much applause and recognition...

He was a little... surprised.
