Chapter 171 The Puppet on a String (Fourth Update)
"Wei Lai's continuous passing and receiving allowed him to dominate the passing and movement in the backfield, steadily keeping the ball under the control of the Jiaozhou Weili players."

After saying that, Duan Jiang couldn't help but exclaim, "That's really steady!"

Liu Zhenghao nodded; "Wei Lai is indeed too steady. There has almost never been a proactive mistake under his feet!"

Their passing and receiving are both very solid!

Do not attempt any risky technical maneuvers!
Stay calm and make accurate judgments!
These factors combined have shaped Jiaozhou Weli's stable backcourt passing game today.

boom!
Chen Jinyu's back pass was touched by Ning Tao, and the ball flew high into the air.

Duan Jiang looked at the big screen: "Wei Lai has reached the landing point."

At this moment, Wei Lai looked up at the falling ball.

The surrounding environment seemed to stand still. Even though he was looking up, his eyes kept looking around, and his mind was filled with various possibilities.

"The first possibility is that the ball will be passed to the wing, and Xie Yuan will pass it forward to Teng Qiang, who will then pull out the full-back."

"The second possibility is to try to force Jin Zhe to move Ning Tao away, but the risk is too great."

"The third possibility is that the data will be passed back to Zheng Tao. This is stable enough, but it won't bring positive results."

"The fourth possibility."

Although it was a brief moment, various extended ideas had already surfaced in Wei Lai's mind.

Suddenly, Wei Lai stopped moving and relaxed his body.

The moment the ball hit the ground, my right foot lifted steadily and stepped firmly on it.

Wei Lai suddenly stood still.

Ning Tao was overjoyed.

"Grab him!"

He immediately rushed towards Wei Lai, at which point Wei Lai suddenly looked up.

"A technical move must serve the purpose of the next situation!"

Wei Lai stepped on the end of the ball with his right foot and suddenly stomped down hard.

The ball was squeezed and rolled to the right.

At the same time, Xie Yuanneng quickly followed up and passed the ball to Chen Jinyu, who was completely unguarded in front of him.

A strange light flickered in Wei Lai's eyes.

"This is the optimal solution!"

"Wei Lai stepped on the ball, danger! Ning Tao has already rushed up, Wei Lai, this ball... ah?"

Duan Jiang was stunned; he couldn't understand how Wei Lai had passed the ball to him.

But before he could think further, Jiaozhou Weili's counterattack had already begun.

"Xie Yuanneng followed up with a through ball, Chen Jinyu pulled the ball back, turned, and passed it to Rubio!!!"

Rubio has already started moving at lightning speed, sprinting forward.

At the same time, Jersey was also rapidly advancing diagonally towards the middle.

"The Belgian strikers pushed forward, Rubio caught up with the ball, swept it across without stopping, and Jersey followed up with a sliding shot!"

boom!
Duan Jiang jumped to his feet: "Goal!!—"

"Rubio assists Jersey, Jersey's sixteenth goal! Jersey! The insane Belgian striker continues his hot streak! Jiaozhou Wely 1-0 Shanghai Hongyun!"

Liu Zhenghao exclaimed in amazement, "My God! This Jiaozhou Wely team's performance on the counter-attack is just too good! The counter-attacks are swift and decisive, without any hesitation. Shanghai Hongyun's pressing is already strong enough, but they still managed to get the ball out through the gaps, and even found Chen Jinyu, who was unmarked in the attacking third! Chen Jinyu's choice was also excellent, making full use of his strengths. The steady Belgian duo once again helped Jiaozhou Wely score goals!"

Slow motion replay.

The slow-motion replay begins with Wei Lai's handling of the scene.

"Here it comes! How exactly did Wei Lai pass that ball?"

Duan Jiang and Liu Zhenghao were both watching Wei Lai closely. They saw Wei Lai firmly step on the ball, and then...
"It's been stepped out? What's this? A step-pass?"

Duan Jiang was stunned, mainly because he had never seen such a thing before!
Liu Zhenghao, standing to the side, grinned and said, "A very thoughtful pass!"

While everyone else was celebrating at the coaching bench of the Jiaozhou Willie Stadium, Chang Chen-ting was indeed frowning.

"is it possible?"

"Hey! Why aren't you celebrating?" Lehmann laughed loudly, "We scored a goal!" Zhang Zhenting pursed his lips and said, "What were you thinking about that counter-attack just now?"

"An idea?" Lyman tilted his head. "What a great counter-attack! Xie Yuanneng and Chen Jinyu's two through balls helped us launch a brilliant counter-attack!"

Chang Chen-ting looked at Lyman: "Is that what you think?"

“Yes!” Lyman nodded.

Chang Chen-ting said nothing more, but turned his head to look at the court.

wrong!

not like this!
The counterattack had already begun after Wei Lai stepped on the ball.

Wei Lai steps on the ball, Ning Tao rushes in to intercept!

Wei Lai steps on the ball, his feet are planted firmly, and if he wants to start moving, he definitely needs a buffer movement, so Ning Tao will inevitably have to press forward.

Ning Tao made the right choice!

But what if Wei Lai deliberately stepped on the ball?

This is very scary!

Wei Lai deliberately stepped on the ball to pull Ning Tao out, because his position blocked the passing lane to Chen Jinyu.

As the players approached, Wei made a 'step pass', sending the ball to the right side of the space.

The force of this foot pass was well controlled, neither too far nor too close, as if it were about to pull Xie Yuanneng out.

Only by drawing Xie Yuan into this space can the ball be delivered to Chen Jinyu's feet.

Could Xie Yuan realize Wei Lai's intentions?
Do not!
It was obvious that Wei Lai made the first pass, so Xie Yuan could see where it would land before he started to act.

This wasn't Xie Yuan moving on his own; he was being led around by Wei Lai's pass!
Xie Yuanneng was pulled out by Wei Lai like a puppet on a string.

All these complicated and bizarre rules are ultimately aimed at getting the ball to Chen Jinyu's feet!
"Sigh!" Zhang Zhenting rubbed his temples, shook his head and chuckled; "I guess I'm overthinking it!"

impossible!
He'd never seen anything like it before!
"Hu~~"

Wei Lai looked up ahead. He didn't participate in the celebration, but he was still very excited.

It can be considered a success, albeit barely.

Of course, this is just one isolated case.

He still can't connect and guide each teammate with passing like a puppeteer coach; he can only influence one at most at the moment.

If you do it too many times, it might get messy!
But this is a great start!
Wei Lai turned his head and gave Xie Yuanneng a thumbs up.

"Thank you, Brother Xie! Well done!"

Xie Yuanneng stared intently at Wei Lai, his pupils trembling.

Xie Yuanneng has been playing football for so many years, and even though he's only now realizing it, he can sense something is off.

But precisely because of this, his gaze toward Wei Lai became somewhat horrified.

You scared me a little!

"what?"

"It's okay! Let's focus on playing the game well. Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

"Oh!"

In the 11th minute, Jiaozhou Weili took the lead with a goal, making it 1-0 to Shanghai Hongyun.

In the 31st minute, Shanghai Hongyun won a corner kick.

During this corner kick opportunity, Liu Xinghe made a very bad misjudgment of the header.

This landslide not only confused himself, but also affected Zheng Tao, causing him to lose his judgment.

The ball flew to the far post, where Ning Tao seized the opportunity, flicking the ball into the net with the instep of his foot.

Jiaozhou Weili 1:1 Shanghai Hongyun.

Shanghai Hongyun tied the score.
