I Just Can Score

Shame!

Even Zhen Shaolong's top-level thick-skinned, after reading the system mission introduction, there is a huge sense of shame welling up in his heart.

""Reverse Injury Strike"?"

"One goal? I get two chances to score directly?"

This is too buggy!

When he first discovered the temporary skill "Golden Right Foot", Zhen Shaolong once believed that it was the most powerful skill, and then "Dreams Come True" refreshed his understanding of "powerful".

Now there's "Reverse Strike" again!

Zhen Shaolong's cognition has been refreshed and subverted time and time again, and he dare not say what is the most powerful, because the temporary skills produced by the system do not seem to be the most powerful, only more powerful.

In his heart he developed a sympathy for Belgium.

That's right!

pity!

Belgium is a tenacious team. Every player in the team must hope to perform in the Olympics and hope to help Belgium go further, but their luck is really bad. They performed well in the first game. However, he encountered the referee who was a "Brazilian fan", and vowed to fight the Chinese team in the second game.

result……

"Unlucky Belgium, who put you in a group with the Chinese team..."

"It's not my fault!"

"Actually, I am also very guilty, and I sympathize with you! Now that the competition has not started, I am already uneasy..."

"Ugh……"

Zhen Shaolong sighed for a long time, and immediately began to look forward to the game. He didn't want to admit it at all, he liked games that won easily, and as for fairness...

Ok!

He firmly believes that he is the defender of fair competition!

————

The game between the Chinese team and the Belgian team is indeed very important, and the result may be directly related to the group qualifying.

The Chinese Olympic team attaches great importance to competition.

The coaching staff has thoroughly studied the opponent, because they have made sufficient preparations for the game, and the preparation is not a temporary rush. In fact, as early as half a year before the start of the Olympic Games, the coaching staff of the Olympic team carefully studied a team. The team's detailed information, including each team's tactical play, the information of most players in each team, and even a detailed analysis of the matchup method for each star player.

This is work that takes a long time to complete.

certainly.

Basically, it's all on paper.

If you are interested, you can read the information carefully. If you are not interested, you don't need to read it at all.

Even the coaching staff of the Olympic team knows that most of the information is meaningless, and it is just for psychological comfort. Like the world's top stars, each of them will be studied in detail by the media, and some ordinary senior fans can say against the method.

But what's the use?

Talking about the matchup method is completely on paper. Football is a sport played by the group in time, not a strategy on paper***. The strength of the players and their performance on the field are the key factors that determine the outcome. On the contrary, it is against the opponent. Understand, it doesn't make much sense at all.

Most players are still a little interested. They will read some information about the players they are playing against, and get to know possible opponents in a timely manner, which will also help them to perform on the field.

Some players just aren't interested.

For example, Zhen Shaolong.

Not only was Zhen Shaolong not interested, he didn't even look at the information brought by the coaching staff, and just threw it aside, like a small street advertisement.

After receiving the temporary task from the system, Zhen Shaolong completely lost his motivation to prepare for the Belgium match. He knew that the team could only win but never lose, and no matter how much he knew about his opponent, it was meaningless.

"Reverse Strike" is not a skill that guarantees 100% victory, but with "Reverse Strike" in hand, the worst result is to score 0 to 0, provided that Belgium can't score, and the Chinese team can't score either.

This result is also acceptable.

Even if it is a draw with Belgium, there is only a theoretical possibility for the opponent to qualify, because the Chinese team has too many goal differences. The victory against New Zealand scored five goal differences. Belgium wants to qualify, and China will lose to Brazil and Belgium will also have a goal difference over the Chinese team.

That is too difficult.

Not only did Zhen Shaolong not read the materials, but he was not very active in preparing for the battle. His performance worried the coaching staff. Duisevic said to his assistant in private, "Zhen... isn't he too proud? He is not serious now. , I also deserted when explaining the tactics, and I didn’t listen carefully at all.”

The assistant thought about it and said, "I don't think Zhen Shaolong is arrogant because of his good performance. Last season, he scored 60 goals in the Premier League. If his performance was affected by pride halfway through, he would not be able to score so many goals."

Duisevic nodded after listening, and he also felt that Zheng Xiaolong was unlikely to be proud, because scoring a few goals in the first Olympic game was not a big honor for him.

He has no reason to be arrogant.

Duisevic could only pray that Zhen Shaolong would perform better.

————

Before the start of the competition, Zhen Shaolong kept a low profile.

In the team training, he only completed the basic tasks, and did personal training when he had free time. The training against Belgium seemed a bit inactive.

In addition, when Zhen Shaolong went to the media, he didn’t talk about the match against Belgium. Once, when he ran over, he heard Zhen Shaolong wave his hand and said, “You can ask other questions, but don’t ask about the match against Belgium. I don’t want to talk about it.” this topic."

Zhen Shaolong's performance made the outside world speculate--

"Do not accept questions about the game? Does he have no confidence in the game?"

"Or because he is seriously preparing for the game and doesn't want to talk about it?"

"Does he want to talk about the game after the game?"

"..."

All kinds of related speculations are everywhere in the media and on the Internet.

The Belgian media also made relevant reports, and their reports were very inclined to Belgium. Regarding Zhen Shaolong's low-key performance, they thought it was because Zhen Shaolong felt the pressure, knew how difficult Belgium was, and had no confidence in beating Belgium.

This kind of Zhen Shaolong is very popular with the Belgian media, and they continue to make reports, expecting Belgium to beat the Chinese team and win the second round of the group.

While the outside world was making a fuss, Belgium was preparing for the war normally.

Head coach De Sutter ignored the news from the outside world and asked the entire team to practice defensive tactics during the preparation period. The defense they practiced was completely aimed at Zhen Shaolong.

"If the defense is successful, the chances of winning are great."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult."

Head coach De Sutter has a clear understanding of the game. He knows that if he wants to beat China, he must restrain Zhen Shaolong.

The latter is critical.

As long as Zhen Shaolong can be defended successfully, Belgium's hope of winning will be greatly increased, otherwise there will be no hope at all.

There is nothing surprising about the method De Sutter thought of. He let one player defend close to him, and the other players adopted the strategy of "nearly assisting".

Nearby assistance, as the name suggests.

During the defense process, the other players were relatively close to Zhen Shaolong, so they went over to assist in the defense, and the other players guarded their positions without intervening to restrict Zhen Shaolong.

After adopting this strategy, Belgium has two players defending Zhen Shaolong at any moment. Of course, their defense is more than that. De Sart also has other targeted arrangements, such as focusing on defending the right position. The research found that Zhen Shaolong scored more than three times more goals on the right side than on the left side.

This is what the game is used to.

De Sutter asked the players to ensure that Zhen Shaolong could not touch the ball within 30 meters in front of the goal. When Zhen Shaolong received the ball from the outside, the nearby players immediately stepped forward to fight for it. Never give him a chance to kick.

After expending so much energy to defend Zhen Shaolong, it is almost impossible to fight the Chinese team head-on.

So De Sutter's strategy is to defend and counterattack.

The backcourt uses intensive defense and targeted defense to limit the Chinese team's offense and Zhen Shaolong's performance. The frontcourt needs those fast players so that the counterattack can achieve the desired effect.

This is Deschatter's strategy.

————

Before the start of the game, both China and Belgium were relatively low-key. Few players went to the media to say anything, and no one directly talked about the outcome, but the game still attracted the attention of many fans.

Everyone knows that the match between China and Belgium is very critical.

As long as the Chinese team can win, or even just draw with Belgium, they will almost be able to secure their qualifications in advance, and they don't need to go to the last game to fight head-on with the mighty Brazil team.

on the contrary.

If Belgium can defeat China, they will be able to reverse the situation in the group stage in one game. Their last opponent is New Zealand, and it is still very easy to win the game. However, China’s last opponent is Brazil, and it will be very difficult to win.

At that time, Belgium's qualifying situation will become much more favorable.

Belgium is also aware of this.

Every Belgian player came on stage with the confidence to win, and every player also hoped that Belgium could beat the Chinese team.

They did a great job on the field.

In the third minute of the game, Belgium's backcourt intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack. Forward Moussa Dembele shot from outside the penalty area to help Belgium score the first goal.

This goal was blamed on the defense.

The Chinese team did not expect that Belgium would shrink the defense line when they came up. They could easily control the midfielder and played several consecutive offensives. What they did not expect was that they were able to control the midfielder only because Belgium gave up the midfielder. The most important thing is to counterattack quickly, which also caught the Chinese team's defense by surprise.

The goal has already happened, and it becomes meaningless to analyze it carefully.

The game commentator said regretfully, "In just three minutes of the opening, Belgium scored a goal..."

"It seems that this game is not easy to fight!"

The fans in the surrounding stands also held similar opinions. They looked at the field with complicated expressions. Some fans with fragile mentality remembered the achievements of the Chinese team in the past, and began to worry that the Olympic team would follow in the footsteps and play a wonderful game. After the game, he broke his wings and fell in the group stage for two consecutive games.

on the contrary.

Belgium is very excited.

Being able to score a goal in the opening game can be said to be the best start. In a professional football game, a goal can even determine the outcome.

Head coach De Sart stood excitedly on the scene, clapping and applauding, and at the same time reminding the players, "Retreat!"

"Pay attention to defense!"

"The game has just begun, remember what I said!"

When he saw Zhen Shaolong running past, he seemed to be cheering for Belgium and himself, and added loudly on purpose, "Do as I said, and you will definitely be able to guard against Zhen Shaolong, and the Chinese team will definitely lose..."

Zhen Shaolong stood on his feet, turned his head to look at De Sutter in surprise, and replied as if chatting, "My German is very good, and I can understand your words..."

"Also, I'm sorry..."
