Golden Greenery

During the halftime break, in the home team's locker room at the Mineiro Stadium, the national team players took the time to rest and rehydrate.

Zhuo Yang untied the laces of his tough-guy pink sneakers, and after kicking them off, he could see the smoke rising from his socks. After admiring it for a while, I took off my ankle braces and stockings, and then walked around the room barefoot.

Liu Langdong naturally didn't mind the taste, he was next to the captain.

"Brother...Captain, my performance in the first half was okay, right?"

He calls Zhuo Yang brother in private, but calls him captain in public. This is Zhuo Yang's rule. The same goes for Li Zimo. He is called uncle in private and captain in the team.

"Not bad." Zhuoyang said affirmatively: "I played better than the last game, and I let go. Langdong, keep going."

"Why are these guys from Ecuador so difficult to defend?" Langdong said, "Captain, have you ever seen such a tough team before?"

"It's difficult to beat a team that only focuses on defense. However, Ecuador's defense is indeed a bit interesting. They move quickly and change positions quickly." Zhuo Yang waved his hand: "It's not too surprising. Just keep knocking in the second half."

"Well, I don't believe you can't crack the bastard's shell."

"Landong, you need to observe more and try more in the second half. Experiencing today's opponent will help you in La Liga next season. There are differences in organizational methods, but the style of defenders of many teams in La Liga is this, especially the middle and lower teams. This is basically the method of attacking and lateral defense in the backcourt."

"Okay, I get it."

"But don't worry, you are only 17, you still have a long time."

"I'm almost 18. I'll be 18 by the end of the year."

At this time, coach Sforza ‘Pompon’ patted the tactical board and whispered: “Quiet.”

The locker room was instantly silent.

"Let's make some fine adjustments to the formation in the second half." Zha Ge got straight to the point: "Tiedan! Tiedan, you go to the left back, and Ice Cream, you go to the middle."

Zhuo Yang's heart suddenly enlightened: Jue, why didn't I think of that?

The iron-clad Zhang Linpeng was born as a full-back, and he played both sides. In the past, he played more right-backs. It was because of the shortage of central defenders in the national team that he was transformed into a central defender five years ago.

Now the national football team has no shortage of centre-backs. Peng Xue Gong has basically proven his strength. Behind him are Wang Yixin, the best centre-back in the Asian Cup, and Newcastle centre-back Zhang Zai. Conditions allow Zhang Tiedan to return to the wing.

After so many years of being in the middle, I almost forgot about this thing.

Vice-captain Tiedan Hexue Gong raised his hand: "Roger that!"

Brother Zha arranged: "Tiedan, you can grasp the timing of assists according to the situation. When the offense switches to defense, you can counterattack on the spot. If necessary, you can also move in to block. Have you forgotten your old job?"

"I can't forget it, Brother Zha, just look at it!"

"Langdong, Liu Langdong, pay attention to protecting the back behind Tiedan's assist. You did a good job on the left in the first half. Continue in the second half."

"Azhe, you and Tiedan should do more cross-overs. Don't just focus on the bottom. Think of ways from the ribs and leave the wings to Tiedan. Well...Azhe, are you okay?"

"Okay! I have to cough~~Okay!" Ah Zhe was so anxious that he almost choked to death on a mouthful of water. As a result, the locker room was filled with joyful laughter.

Zhang Tiedan is 30 years old and has no shortage of experience. Moreover, he has played almost as a full-back and a central defender in Huocun over the years. He will not feel unfamiliar with the wing just because he has played as a central defender in the national team for five years.

The veteran is really a brick, he can be moved wherever needed.

In fact, the same is true for young generals, Peng Xuebing is an example.

Peng Xue Gong is also very happy. Although he plays well on the wing, his job is as a central defender. He is more comfortable and at ease in the middle, and he has more options for organizing the ball after getting the ball in the backcourt.

He likes to lead the entire defense in the middle, rather than sitting in a corner. What's more, wing assists are his shortcoming. Except for Zhuo Team, no one is omnipotent.

Brother Zha kept talking about other precautions for a while, and the intermission was over.

Zhuoyang changed into new socks, shoes and ankle braces. This is his habit since the beginning of this year. He changed them whether he scored or not in the first half. It was very luxurious.

Liu Langdong re-sprayed his hair.

.

When Pang Tiezhu saw that the team had no plans to make substitutions in the second half, he secretly pouted, a little disappointed, and his hopes were in vain. But the warm-up still has to continue. Who knows which cloud will rain?

Moving Zhang Tiedan to the wing is not cheating, nor is it a trick, it is just a slight adjustment of the formation. It will not be said that the wind or rain will immediately take effect and score a goal.

The situation was still the same as in the first half, with the national team slowly chipping away at the tortoise shell. Ecuador counterattacked from time to time to tense up the atmosphere on the court.

Five minutes passed, and the score was 0:0; ten minutes passed, and the score was still 0:0.

During this period of time, Tiedan, who has managed his old job, performed quite well. He stepped in decisively when it was time to assist and returned to his position in time when it was time to recover. He was not amazing but did not make any mistakes.

Peng Xuebing, who is in the middle, is like a fish in water, advancing and retreating and fighting each other. He has the air of a general, which makes people forget that he is not yet 20 years old.

They are both central defenders, so that Zago and Zhuo Yang could choose Peng Xuebing to start in the first game against Uruguay instead of the best central defender in the Asian Cup, Wang Pouxin, which shows that Xue Ge is outstanding.

According to the performance of Ice Cream, the more he plays, the better. Even if Tiedan retires immediately or dies immediately, the national team will already have a good candidate for the center back position in the next ten years.

No. .

Zhang Xian took the ball in the middle, passed it to Kadashi, then returned it and passed it to the left.

Langdong dribbled the ball slightly inward, and Tiedan quickly inserted it from behind. At the same time, Azhe also moved inward to form a layer with Langdong. The three men were holding a corner position, tightly pressing the Eguayan's right side.

After two triangular passes, the football returned to Langdong's feet.

Azhe suddenly cut down from the ribs and entered the penalty area, while Tiedan came up and retracted to fill the gap.

After all, with one more person, Egua's defensive position on this side is a bit messy.

Langdong kicked the ball to Azhe who was pulling away from the side, and he went down diagonally. Tiedan passed through the ribs and took Interago away.

Azhe dribbled the ball to the high post, and Quinteros could only raise it to block it. The Eguayan defense line began to shift to this side.

Azhe flipped the ball horizontally and immediately hit the ball to Kadashi on the other side. He was empty.

Preciado made up for it, and Zhang Xian was empty, so he pressed forward.

Wabushe went to post Zhang Xian, so Langdong was empty again and he pressed up.

At this time, the three midfielders formed a straight diagonal line, and Langdong was at the end, stepping on the angle between the forbidden arcs. Zhang is now in the center, two meters outside the arc, and Kadashi, who has the ball, is on the left. The extended line of the three points to the left corner flag.

Kadashi suddenly saw an opportunity, and without hesitation, he aimed at Zhang Xianzheng's instep and passed angrily, giving him a lot of strength, and at the same time shouted "Leak!" ’

The previous movement had almost torn Egua's defense to pieces. Everyone was a little panicked, but they didn't know what the problem was, so they could only find ways to deal with it.

Wa Bushe couldn't understand Chinese, but Zhang Xian knew that he didn't understand either. So Zhang Xian crossed his legs to let the football pass, and Wa Bushe was shaken like an idiot.

The ball belongs to Langdong, he is on the penalty area line and facing the goal.

There's no time, get in the car quickly. Mina and Achille rushed towards Langdong together, not caring about anything else.

So Langdong also spread his legs and escaped. Mina and Achille turned into two idiots and were so surprised that they almost bumped into each other's faces.

Zhuoyang appeared alone in the penalty area, and the football that passed his crotch was flying towards him.

From the moment Tiedan and Azhe started looking for trouble on the right, Zhuo Yang moved and inserted himself in various coquettish ways on the Egua defense line, until he took advantage of his teammates to contain him and got here.

The Eguayans live in a fog, and Coca Onishi, Zhang Xian and Langdong have been watching his movements, so this happened.

The question now is, how does Zhuoyang plan to shoot?

The two children leaked two hips in a row, and they were extremely coquettish. As the captain, boss, and totem, I couldn't afford the children's coquettishness if they took the ordinary path.

So Zhuo Yang also missed it.

He raised his right leg and made a feint, then crossed his legs and spread his crotch.

As soon as the football reached his crotch, and before it could slip away, the heel of Zhuo Yang's right foot knocked up from behind.

Dominguez jumped, but not completely. He fell to the ground when Zhuo Yang feinted with his right leg.

The football slowed down and rolled slowly into the net.

1:0, the turtle shell was smashed open.
