Fox in the Penalty Area

"Although Dongtai Juxing City is an amateur team, they have the hardware facilities that are not inferior to professional teams... Dear viewers, please follow my hand and look this way, and look at this stretch of land. This is the training ground of Dongtai Juxing City... And please pay attention, please keep your eyes open and pay attention! These training grounds are without exception, all of them are sky! Of course! Grass! Leather!"

A beautiful host stood in front of the camera, holding a microphone, speaking in a surprised tone with an exaggerated expression.

"This is really too luxurious! Even if it is a Chinese Super League club, not every team can achieve that every football field in the training base is made of natural turf! Next, we were fortunate enough to invite the head coach of Dongtai Juxing City Director Fu, please come and ask us to introduce what kind of team Dongtai Juxing City is... Hello, Director Fu, it is said that when Dongtai Juxing City drew Anton Shining Star, a Chinese team, the whole team I still have some regrets... May I ask if there is such a thing?"

In the picture appeared a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight. Most of his hair was gray and his skin was dark. He looked like an old farmer. This was Fu Bengui, the head coach of Dongtai Juxing City.

Standing in front of the camera, Fu Bengui was not stage-frightened at all, and said with a local accent: "Yes, yes, it is true. On the night of the lottery, our whole team was watching the webcast in the training base. When we found out that we had drawn a Chinese team Team A, everyone was very disappointed. At that time, there were sighs one after another in the conference room... The players all expressed that it was a pity that they were not able to draw the Chinese Super League team as opponents!"

"This is strange, Director Fu. Generally speaking, shouldn't an amateur team like Juxing City hope that their opponents are as weak as possible? Isn't it a good thing for you not to be drawn to the Super League team? What's the matter?" What a pity?" The beautiful reporter looked at her with wide eyes and asked the question very interestingly.

"Yes, generally speaking, it should be like this. But our Dongtai Juxing City is not an ordinary amateur team. We have a very ambitious goal. Whether it is in terms of hardware facilities or team strength, Dongtai Juxing City has great potential. It’s a chance to challenge a strong opponent. The last round we defeated the Chinese First Team Nanhai team at home is proof!” Fu Bengui said impassionedly to the camera. "So our whole team felt that it would be best to meet a Chinese Super League team in this round. Now, we met a Chinese Super League team. I have to say it's a pity..."

The screen was pressed to pause here, and it came to an abrupt end.

The Anton Shining Star players in the hotel conference room all looked a little unhappy.

"Damn, isn't this old man too crazy?"

"Uncle, let's take a look at what team you are? Amateur team! Where do you get the qualifications to pick and choose? Do you think our Flash Star is in the middle class? Do you deserve it?"

"Wouldn't it be possible to eliminate a proud and underestimated South China Sea team, so you won't pay attention to other Chinese A teams?"

Everyone shouted at Fu Bengui who was frozen on the screen.

At this time, assistant coach Chen Mo patted the table: "Quiet! Be quiet!"

After three consecutive shots, the sound in the conference room gradually subsided.

Everyone looked at the head coach Zhao Kangming.

"Do you all think that the opposing head coach is getting carried away?" Zhao Kangming first asked everyone a question.

The players looked at each other in blank dismay, they really thought so, but if the head coach asked this, then the answer would most likely not be a simple "yes".

"We lack the knowledge of this team. At present, we can only get the video of their last round of the FA Cup against the South China Sea team. I believe many people will think that after hearing that the South China Sea team was eliminated by an amateur team. It was the South China Sea team's own pride and underestimation of the enemy, which caused the ship to capsize in the gutter...It is true, but this is only half true." Zhao Kangming began to show his team the edited and shortened video of the match between the South China Sea team and Winter Gathering Star City .

After watching the 12-minute video, Zhao Kangming asked the players: "Does anyone still think that the South China Sea team just capsized in the gutter?"

No one thinks that way anymore.

The game video re-edited by the coaching staff has a very obvious guiding tendency. They focused on Taiwan Juxing City's defensive strategy against the South China Sea team in the game, so that everyone can see it clearly.

The players of the South China Sea team will be surrounded by at least two and at most four Dongtai Juxing City players at almost every moment. Moreover, the defense of Dongtai Juxing City is very aggressive, and it is ruthless and dares to attack. It has a kind of momentum of "going shopping without being afraid of wearing shoes".

In the beginning, the Nanhai team was indeed proud and underestimated the enemy, but later on it was not entirely because of this reason.

The Nanhai team tried to pay attention to the game, but found themselves in a quagmire and could no longer get out of it. Even the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, until finally he sank above his head and lost the right to breathe.

"We can see from the game video that although this team is an amateur team, it is infinitely close to a professional team in terms of training and competition methods. Their head coach has also had experience in coaching professional teams. They played against South China Sea The team’s tactics in the game are properly formulated and executed in place. For such a team, you tell me that their head coach is getting carried away now... To be honest, I don’t believe it.”

"But coach..." Someone raised his hand and asked his own question, "Then why did they do this? Did they want to provoke us?"

"I think so, they want to provoke us." Zhao Kangming replied.

"What's the benefit of... angering us? If they are weaker than us, shouldn't they take the initiative to show weakness and trick us into being proud and underestimating the enemy?"

"With the lessons learned from the South China Sea team, I believe the coaches of Dongtai Juxing City must think that we will not be proud and underestimate the enemy. There is no need to actively show weakness, because they are already weaker than us. If they don't show weakness, do we think they are very weak? Strong? But on the contrary, if they can irritate us and make us lose our sanity and calm judgment, then when it comes to the game, they have too many loopholes to exploit. Hypothetical, I mean hypothetical..." Speaking of which, Zhao Kangming paused.

"Suppose you are overwhelmed by anger, and you forget all the things I explained to you before the game when you go on the court, and all you want to do is to teach a lesson during the game. How dare you look down on your Dongtai Juxing City. Then If you find that the opponent's defense line is harder than you expected, and you can't chew it for a long time, will your mentality become unbalanced? Will you be at a loss? At this time, if the opponent seizes the opportunity to attack one of the gaps in the defense line at this time, will it be possible? crash?"

Facing Zhao Kangming's hypothesis, everyone fell silent.

"I think the head coach of Dongtai Juxing City should hope that you will become like this. After all, such things as pride and underestimation of the enemy, with the example of the South China Sea team, we should not repeat the same mistakes. So I hope you can put your mind at ease. Don't care about what the opponent says, but what the opponent does. I want to face us. Dongtai Juxing City has one and only one way to do it, and that is to shrink the defense line, hoping to use tenacious defense to withstand our offense, and then wait We have been unable to score for a long time, and when we are impetuous, we will wait for an opportunity to counterattack. So no matter what happens in the game, don’t panic or be impatient, and don’t mess up like the South China Sea team! This is just an amateur team , as long as we don't make mistakes, they can't beat us, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone replied loudly.

Seeing that Hu Lai roared the loudest, Zhao Kangming called his name: "Hu Lai, please summarize."

Hu Lai stood up in full view, and said confidently: "In short, Director Zhao, the South China Sea team is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and we are crossing the river by feeling the South China Sea team!"

Zhao Kangming:? ? ?

After a short period of silence, there was a loud roar of laughter in the conference room.

Looking back, Zhao Kangming glared at Hu Lai: "I shouldn't have asked you to answer the question! Sit down!"

Then he seriously looked around at the players who had barely stopped laughing, and wanted to say a few more words to bring the atmosphere back, but he laughed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Hu Lai is right. The problem is to think about how the South China Sea team fell... okay, that's it, the meeting is over!"

※※※

"Old Zhao, actually, I think you've made a big fuss. Isn't it the FA Cup? Isn't it an amateur team? The pre-match meeting was so serious, I thought our opponent was a Chinese Super League team..." Sitting On the bench beside the court, assistant coach Chen Mozheng complained.

On the court at this time, the fifth round of the FA Cup has already begun.

Fifteen minutes later, facing Dongtai Juxing City, which was defending at the beginning of the game as expected, Anton Shanxing also played very cautiously, and did not rush to bombard the penalty area surrounding the opponent.

"It's not a big deal at all. In fact, I really hope that Dongtai Juxing City can cause us some troubles, which will help the players realize that every game is not so easy to play." Zhao Kangming sat on the coach's bench Said, "You can see that Dongtai Juxing City's defense is very good. This team is really not easy. That Fu Bengui has two brushes. If we hadn't done enough homework before the game, when the players came to the court and found amateur football If the team can play such a defense, they will definitely be caught off guard. Isn't that what the South China Sea team is like?"

Just as he was talking, Flashing Star on the field launched an attack again.

After continuous big feet, the football came from the right to the left, and Chen Xingyi took the ball.

He did not choose to continue crossing this time, but decisively broke through the inside cut, relying on his own personal skills to fight alone!

His actions triggered a chain reaction in Dongtai Juxing City's defense, and he was soon surrounded by many Dongtai Juxing City players.

Chen Xingyi, who was deeply surrounded, still looked at the gap and passed the football out of the encirclement, to Hu Lai who was inserted in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Hu Lai kicked up and fired directly.

The football flew into the goal under the armpit of the Dongtai Juxing City goalkeeper!

"Beautiful!" Chen Mo roared when he saw the ball, slapped his hands and stood up from the coach's bench, and then said to Zhao Kangming, who also stood up to celebrate the goal: "You forgot, Lao Zhao, we and the Nanhai team There is one big difference...we have a very efficient shooter! How many opportunities were wasted by the South China Sea team after scoring a goal? Those opportunities were given to Hu Lai, at least one or two, right? If the South China Sea team Can have a 2:0, 3:0 lead, are you afraid that Dongtai Juxing City will cause trouble?"

Zhao Kangming smiled when he heard the words: "You are right, Lao Chen. A shooter who can always convert his teammates' passes into goals is terrible. But Chen Xingyi's previous breakthrough is also very important."

"That's right, but the South China Sea team also has them. Isn't Luo Kai's breakthrough and passing strong enough? They were all wasted by his teammates!" Chen Mo clapped his hands together, "At first we considered him first, but he didn't come If he comes, how can there be anything about Chen Xingyi?"

Zhao Kangming shook his head and sighed: "This is Luo Kai's life!"

※※※

Fu Bengui turned his head and glanced at the Xingxing coach bench, and found that the head coach Zhao Kangming was not very excited about the goal, and his reaction was very flat, and he even shook his head.

He sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it is more difficult to beat two teams above the Chinese Premier League in a row than to win five million in the lottery...

Look at their performance, it's so calm even if they take the lead.

Still shaking his head, it seems that he is not satisfied with the fact that he played for 17 minutes before scoring a goal...

But you are all ahead!

What else?

Even if we lead by only one goal, with the huge gap in strength between our two teams, it is almost impossible for us to get back.

They were also leading by one goal. It was hard for Fu Bengui to expect his team to repeat the same game process as they did against the South China Sea team.

Judging from the performance of their head coach, Anton Shining Star should not underestimate the enemy.

All my tactics in this game are actually based on not conceding the ball and the opponent underestimating the enemy.

But now, the ball has been lost, and the opponent has not underestimated the enemy.

Dongtai Juxing City, an amateur team, should have come here for the FA Cup this season...

Although the results of the top 16 have already tied the best performance of the amateur team in this competition, Fu Bengui is inevitably still a little unwilling...

After defeating the South China Sea team, the dream that he and all the players had about the amateur team making it all the way to the final, successfully slaying the dragon, and winning the championship came to an end.

※※※

Fu Bengui's expectations were right. After Zhao Kangming's repeated instructions before the game, Anton Xingxing, who was crossing the river by touching the South China Sea team, did not become proud and underestimate the enemy after taking the lead, nor did he rush forward to waste opportunities.

They played steadily as if they hadn't scored.

Facing Dongtai Juxing City, which was unable to retreat due to backwardness and was attacking frantically, the defense was impeccable.

Although Zhao Kangming did not choose the main lineup in this game on the defensive line, Flash Star is a Chinese team after all, and their substitutes are also stronger than amateur teams.

Although the home fans of Dongtai Juxing City made a huge noise to cheer for the team, even though many neutral fans may be eager to witness another "dragon slaying show" in which the weak beat the strong.

But Shining Star, who is as steady as an old dog, didn't let this happen.

After Hu Lai scored another goal in the second half, he was replaced. After all, there was still a league game on Saturday, and the score was already 3:0 at this time——Chen Xingyi also scored before Hu Lai scored twice. a ball.

Before the end of the game, the forward foreign aid Murphy, who came on as a substitute for Hu Lai, scored another goal and finally fixed the score at 4:0.

Flash Star eliminated the biggest dark horse in this FA Cup so far in the away game. The amateur team Dongtai Juxing City broke into the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

After the game, during the handshake session of the head coaches of both sides, Fu Bengui apologized to Zhao Kangming: "I'm sorry, I said that before the game just to annoy you, I hope you can lose your mind, I didn't expect it to be completely useless... you just treat it like that." It’s a fart, let it go, ha!”

Zhao Kangming smiled and shook his head: "Of course we don't care, after all, it's just a means to pursue victory. As the head coach, you have done everything you can, and I hope you don't care too much about this failure ..."

Hearing what Zhao Kangming said, Fu Bengui heaved a sigh of relief, and the coach like an old farmer laughed wrinkledly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, Director Zhao. The dream of beating a Chinese Super League team to win the FA Cup..."

"No, this is not a joke." Zhao Kangming looked serious. "The pursuit of victory dignifiedly is the highest goal of competitive sports."

After being affirmed by Zhao Kangming, the former main player of the national team, the famous youth training coach in the country, and the head coach of the Chinese First Team, Fu Bengui laughed: "Director Zhao, you said that, I don't even feel too sad about losing... …ha! Good luck to you in the FA Cup!"

"I also wish you a professional team soon!"

The two coaches shook hands again and parted ways. Winners celebrate, losers lick their wounds, football is like that.

PS, I have uploaded the FM2019 database with all my original character data to the reader group (group number: 751013253), interested friends can join the group to download. The method of use is to put the "linhai.fmf" file in the "My Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2019/editordata" folder. If there is no "editordata" folder, you can create one and put it in. Then open the game and choose to start a new career, you will be prompted to select a database file, find the database "linhai" in the database drop-down window, and tick it.

It includes all the main original characters from "We Are the Champions" to "Green Forest": Zhang Jun, Yang Pan, Li Yongle, An Ke, Kaka, Xiang Tao, Liu Peng, Wang Yu, Chen Jian , George Wood, Chu Zhongtian, Chen Yingxiong, Jiming, Jose Passarella, Rong Guang, Lucas Sutton, Zhou Yi, He Ying, Sun Pan, Yang Muge, Guo Nu, Yan Min, Gao Zheng.

Finally, there is a hooligan.

As for why there are no Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, Wang Guangwei... that is because I have no time to do it. I made this database last year. At that time, there was no such book. Even a Hu Lai is my latest added.

These players are scattered across various clubs, basically following the reality described in the book. However, there are some exceptions.

Finally, I wish you all a happy play!

In addition, currently tested, FM2020 cannot install this database. It seems that only FM2019 players can play...
