I Just Can Score

"Zhen Shaolong actually passed the ball!"

"This pass is amazing! Back heel, one step to the finish, but it's a pity that Irving was slow to react!"

"Wonderful! Direct penetration!"

"The pass just now reminds us of those midfield masters who are famous for their passing! Zhen Shaolong passed a very wonderful ball. If Owen can score the ball, the goal will definitely become a classic!"

"pity……"

The game commentators, fans, media reporters, and players from both sides were all discussing the pass just now. The pass penetrated the entire defense line with one pass, which can definitely be called a 'classic'.

The most pity is that Irving reacted slowly and failed to receive the ball immediately.

Many fans felt regretful.

The Villarreal players were a little scared. While they took a long breath, they were also surprised by Zhen Shaolong's choice to pass the ball. In Pellegrini's summary before the game, there was a sentence that was remembered by many people. In his mind, "Zhen Shaolong rarely passes the ball, especially near the penalty area, including in the penalty area. The probability of him choosing to pass the ball is less than 10%."

Is this like meeting the legendary ten percent?

and……

And it was so exciting?

Villarreal felt helpless from top to bottom. In fact, they didn't need to worry too much, because Zhen Shaolong just made a temporary move. Even if he successfully completed a wonderful pass, he decided not to pass the ball as much as possible.

The system task requirement is to 'go against your habits and score goals', not 'to go against your habits and assist'. He successfully sent the ball to his teammates, but his teammates scoring the ball did not help him complete the task.

In addition, Zhen Shaolong was also disappointed.

"I no longer care about the task of passing the ball, and I still passed such a wonderful ball. Irving... this guy didn't react?"

"disappointment!"

"Too disappointed!"

"At Owen's level, if you can't seize such a good opportunity, what's the use of passing more passes?"

"You still have to rely on yourself..."

Zhen Shaolong suppressed the sigh of "the master is lonely" and continued to think about triggering temporary skills.

Villarreal was not affected. The pass just now was unexpected, but there is a chance that the opponent will pass the ball. It is not a big deal to make a pass. Anyway, no goal was scored in the end, so there is no need to worry if the score is not changed.

They never expected that Zhen Shaolong would deliberately change his habits, because habits cannot be changed at will.

Habits mean practices and methods that have been developed naturally over time. In tense and fierce competitions, habits become subconscious reactions. They cannot be changed suddenly, and there is no way to change them. The consequences of deliberate changes will definitely Will seriously affect performance.

If Zhen Shaolong's performance is affected, they don't have to worry at all.

————

Newcastle United's corner kick failed to create a threat.

Villarreal's defense was too specific to Zhen Shaolong's style. When he stood in front, two people from the opponent came to guard him.

He also paid special attention not to run along the baseline. Zhen Shaolong knew that he should go against his habits, otherwise not only would he not be able to trigger temporary skills, but he would also be easily targeted by the opponent. He tried to pull him to other positions, but his teammates did not know how to cooperate. The football was not passed Come here, he won't be a threat.

"This won't work!"

"Even if you know how the opponent defends, you can't do anything without the ball..."

Zhen Shaolong fell into thinking.

Now scoring goals and performing are not the most important thing. The most important thing is how to trigger the skill effect. He has also begun to continuously use offense, running, and limited opportunities to touch the ball to experiment with the triggering of temporary skills.

On the field.

Overall, Villarea played an advantage.

Villarreal is a Spanish club. Many people think that Villarreal represents Spanish football. Their style is very similar to the Spanish national team, but in fact it is just superficial. They truly represent Spanish football. For Spanish football, it can only be Barcelona or Real Madrid.

When a team contributes a sufficient number of international players, it will directly affect the style of the national team. Villarreal is also a strong team in Spain, but they only contributed three international players, which is still too far behind in terms of number. Not to mention the international players they contributed, they are basically substitutes for the Spanish national team.

Coach Manuel Pellegrini may have a say in Villarreal's style, but his answer would be, "No style."

This is the real answer.

Pellegrini's coaching changed Villarreal, but he never came up with a fixed tactical framework or a fixed playing style. Instead, he matched the formation according to the strength level of everyone in the team. The formulation of small-scale tactics and the combination of small-scale tactics constitute Villarreal's overall tactics.

Their tactical style can be described in two words, "practical!"

Pellegrini is a practical coach. He matches tactics for the entire team, formulates a style of play based on the characteristics of each player, and tries to let all players play their best, instead of delineating a tactical framework and buying players that meet the tactics. Eliminate players who do not qualify.

This approach also allows Villarreal to display good strength and level without investing too much money.

Based on pragmatic tactics, Pellegrini will also make detailed preparations and arrangements for each opponent, and appropriately adjust his playing style to increase the team's chances of winning.

The above tactical arrangements and battle preparations sound like they will consume a lot of energy.

This is the reason for Pellegrini's success.

For many years, Pellegrini has been competent as the coach of various teams and has been able to achieve rapid success. This is not only about his coaching ability, but also inseparable from his hard work.

certainly.

From the perspective of the top coaching and competition in football, Pellegrini's approach may not necessarily succeed, because the top clubs are very strong, and every player, even the substitutes, has the world's top level. The game is not only about tactical details, but also the individual players' performance and on-the-spot command will become very important. The overall performance of the tactics stacked up by small tactics can hardly be said to be better than the large-scale tactical layout.

The above is a bit complicated. Let’s take a simple example to illustrate. In the hero battle in the game, some hero skills are very simple, and some hero skills are very complex.

Heroes with complex skills can easily gain an advantage in average battles as long as they can operate them skillfully. However, in the top high-end games, it is difficult to say what advantage they have. A mistake in a detail may mean overall failure. After closing the gap in equipment, the skill damage of heroes with complex skills may not be able to catch up with the opponent's flat A.

This is the case at Villarreal.

When the opponent's strength is very ordinary, it is easy to gain an advantage. However, in the past five years, their best result in La Liga was only second place last year, and they also reached the semi-finals in the Champions League. , but when they met Arsenal, they were easily eliminated by a double kill.

So playing against the top teams, Villarreal has no advantage at all.

certainly.

This didn't happen on the field.

Newcastle United's performance can be called 'top', but what they rely on is not the overall lineup or overall tactics, but Zhen Shaolong's personal performance.

The media, fans, and even the world of football all recognize that Zhen Shaolong is the reason for Newcastle United's success.

In terms of overall lineup strength, Newcastle United does not have any measurable advantages compared to Villarreal, except for Zhen Shaolong.

nature.

It's not surprising that Villarreal took advantage of the situation.

Of course, advantage does not mean scoring goals.

Villarreal did not attack very hard, and their overall style of play was still based on calmness. The premise of the offense was to stabilize the defense line. Frequent retreats in the midfield and frontcourt also consumed the energy invested in the offense.

But retracement in the midfield and frontcourt is still very important.

Villarreal's midfielder Marcos Senna brought a lot of trouble to Zhen Shaolong. Senna's defensive ability is indeed not bad. One-on-one defense is second best. His control of the overall defensive situation makes him He can always appear at key positions accurately, and many times he and his teammates will guard Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong had a headache from being defended. He had to admit that Pellegrini was really good. He had studied his habits and characteristics in depth. The opponent defended according to their habits. Sometimes, even if he wanted to change his habits, he couldn't react.

Besides, it’s useless.

How to catch the ball against your habits?

His cooperation with his teammates has always been like this. If he doesn't run or catch the ball as he is used to, he can only retreat significantly, otherwise it will be difficult to receive the pass, because Button's points are very tightly guarded. ''s position is also closely guarded. He can't just stand in the middle of the penalty area and wait for the ball, right?

That's no use either.

Zhen Shaolong tried twice, but the temporary skill could not be triggered and it was impossible to catch the ball.

After a period of experiments, Zhen Shaolong also gained something. He discovered the characteristics of temporary skills: unable to control other people or footballs that are too far away, that is, when he does not have the ball or is impossible to catch the ball, Temporary skills cannot be triggered at all.

Therefore, if you want to trigger the skill, you must first get the ball, at least it's possible for you to get the ball.

The football distance needs to be close enough.

Zhen Shaolong no longer deliberately changed his habits, but ran to the side to get the ball normally.

This approach is not easy to defend.

Although Villarreal's defenders all knew that Zhen Shaolong was going to the wing to get the ball, the range of the wing was too large. They could not predict the movement in advance, so they could only follow passively, or simply defend closely. , The effect of close defense is not good. The side that takes the initiative to run always has a great advantage. Without the ball, Zhen Shaolong can change directions at will and get rid of the players who are following closely.

So he easily catches the pass on the wing.

This time, Villarreal's shortcomings of not sending someone to specifically mark him were revealed. Senna did not catch up immediately, and the full-back was still defending Duff. Zhen Shaolong not only easily received the pass, but also held enough Big opening.

"Going to shoot?"

Many people concentrated.

Zhen Shaolong was standing outside the penalty area and close to the sideline. It was not a good choice to shoot directly. It was even said that almost no players would shoot from this position.

certainly.

Zhen Shaolong is an exception.

Many people's impression of Zhen Shaolong is that as long as he is within thirty meters of the goal, no matter how small the angle or weird the position, he will hit the goal as soon as he is free.

At the moment when the space was opened, Zhen Shaolong also hesitated. He habitually wanted to shoot. Even if the chance was slim, there was still a chance. "Calibration" would greatly improve the accuracy, but he thought of the temporary skill. Shooting directly was definitely not a violation. Being used to it, scoring goals does not help the progress of the task. In addition, the chance of scoring goals is not great. The main position is too bad. The opponent's goalkeeper has enough reaction time. No matter how accurate the kick is, it is easy to be saved.

He decided to change!

After hesitating for a moment, Zhen Shaolong still waved his right foot, but his decision was a breakthrough.

Suddenly.

The effect of ‘All your wishes come true’ is triggered.

Next, Zhen Shaolong's performance achieved the desired effect. He didn't even glance at Senna who jumped up to block the ball with his body. He moved the ball to the right and rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

One second is very short.

Zhen Shaolong just dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and the effect was gone.

Then, the choice comes.

After easily breaking through Senna, he still had enough space to shoot from a closer position. From past experience, he still shot directly.

The opponent's central defender Gonzalo blocked it.

Zhen Shaolong swung his right foot again while dribbling the ball. Gonzalo ran forward and jumped high, trying to block the position in the air, but Zhen Shaolong still dribbled the ball!

The effect of ‘All your wishes come true’ is triggered.

Go ahead!

breakthrough!

The football rushed past Gonzalo's feet, and Zhen Shaolong left Gonzalo behind in the simplest way.

Now it's even closer to the goal, even within ten meters.

There is still room for feet!

When he saw the opponent's midfielder Ibagaza rushing over again, Zhen Shaolong did not hesitate and waved his right foot in the same way.

The effect of ‘All your wishes come true’ is triggered!

Change direction!

breakthrough!

Zhen Shaolong completed the breakthrough perfectly with the simplest movement. Ibagaza who rushed over was easily deceived, and he also dribbled the ball to the small penalty area.

"What else should I do?"

"Shoot?"

"Further forward is the "must kill" range!"

In just a short moment, many thoughts flashed through Zhen Shaolong's mind, but the opponent's goalkeeper had already rushed over and there was no time to choose, so he decided to continue to break through.

Breakthrough three times in a row!

What are you afraid of!

Even if the breakthrough fails and the 'wish comes true' effect is not triggered, touching the ball in the small penalty area can activate the 'sure kill'.

So it doesn’t matter!

Zhen Shaolong's action was to wave his feet. He seemed to be about to complete the push shot. Goalkeeper Lopez rushed towards his feet. The next moment, he felt reassured.

The effect of ‘All your wishes come true’ is triggered!

Zhen Shaolong pushed the ball forward, narrowly missing Lopez's save, and he followed up and jumped over Lopez.

The football was pushed through the door.

Zhen Shaolong couldn't stop the car at all and rushed into the goal under the influence of inertia.

For a moment.

The surrounding stands were silent for a brief moment, and then quickly erupted into wild cheers.

Newcastle fans are going crazy!
