Fox in the Penalty Area

The Lingnan Olympic Sports Center roared with cheers, blue and white flags waved and fluttered in the stands, and cheers in dialect resounded throughout the audience.

Chu Yifan and his three roommates watched this scene shaking their heads and sighing.

Although he knew that Flashing Star would be difficult to play in this match, he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

In less than five minutes, the home team Nanhai scored.

Listening to the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami at the scene, it was as if they were going to swallow everyone in Xingxing alive...

This suspicion is not groundless, isn't it said that Nanling people eat everything?

As fans watching the game in the stands, they all felt tremendous pressure, so it is entirely conceivable how much pressure the players of Anton Shining Star must have on the court.

Chu Yifan set his sights on Hu Lai, he was not very worried about Hu Lai's mental capacity.

Already familiar with Hu Lai, he felt that the cheers of the South China Sea fans would not disturb Hu Lai. His concern is that this will affect the rest of the Flash Star team.

Especially Zhang Qinghuan, who started the game after returning from injury.

Everyone knows how awesome he was before, but everyone knows how stupid he is now...

In the eyes of many people, if Qin Lin hadn't been injured, Zhang Qinghuan might not have been able to get the chance to play until the end of the season.

The situation is so difficult now, and Zhang Qinghuan is notoriously unreliable, who knows what kind of game he can play?

Is it like sleepwalking? Or directly stealth?

If Flash Star's players can't send the football to Hu Lai's feet, then no matter how wonderful Hu Lai's movement is, no matter how accurate his shot is, it will be meaningless.

At this time, Chu Yifan had to lament the disadvantages of joining the team halfway. Although Hu Lai's performance after joining the team in the middle of the season has been very good, he is only a firefighter after all. This team is not actually built for him in terms of tactics or staffing, and there will inevitably be some compatibility issues. .

This is why Hu Lai is so dependent on Qin Lin.

Because there are too few people who can deliver shells to him.

Chu Yifan only hopes that Shining Star can successfully avoid relegation this season,

Then work well during the transfer period, it is best to find some players who can cooperate with Hu Lai.

This is his little thought as Hu Lai's senior.

Zhao Kangming, the head coach of Shining Star on the sidelines, got up from the coach's bench with a solemn face after seeing the lost ball, walked to the sidelines, and stood there with his arms crossed.

It's not that I didn't expect to lose the ball in the away game, but I really didn't expect to lose it so early...

He let Zhang Qinghuan start, originally hoping to increase the control of the midfield, so as to help his defense reduce the pressure, in the final analysis, he still seeks stability.

As a result, he was on the right track - he didn't need to replace Zhang Qinghuan at the beginning of the game, just to strengthen his offense...

Because Zhang Qinghuan was on the field.

But tactics may need to make some adjustments.

When he let Zhang Qinghuan start, he gave Zhang Qinghuan the position of a central midfielder, a bit like the role Zhang Qinghuan played in the game when he was injured. He had to take care of the midfield and the midfield. He is Zhang Qinghuan when he organizes the offense, controls the rhythm, and is Qin Lin when he connects the offense and defense.

It sounds like a bit of a challenge, but Zhao Kangming believes that Zhang Qinghuan can fulfill his tactical requirements.

Because Zhang Qinghuan has such ability.

In that game against Wuzhou Dongshan, didn't he even assist Hu Lai to score a goal in a series of connections?

If it weren't for the injury, maybe there would be more than that one assist.

Of course, this tactic is actually a helpless choice for Qin Lin to be injured and absent. Just like before Zhang Qinghuan's prodigal son turned back, Zhao Kangming could only let Qin Lin fight together. Being both a father and a mother, he was also very helpless.

Qin Lin's best position is the defensive midfielder, while Zhang Qinghuan's best position is the front midfielder.

It's a pity that the two of them will not be able to make up by the end of this season.

As for whether they can fight side by side next season, it also depends on Zhang Qinghuan's performance in the remaining three games.

Even if his prodigal son turns back, if his performance fails, the club will not spend five million to buy him out.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Kangming finally decided to take a risk and make tactical adjustments now, so that the first set of tactics that only lasted five minutes came to an end.

After he shouted Zhang Qinghuan's name on the sidelines, he made a gesture to him, signaling him to go forward.

Zhang Qinghuan knew that he was going to be the midfielder.

To be honest, he can also play the position assigned by the previous head coach, and he can still do a good job. But deep down in his heart he really didn't like this arrangement.

This is what he heard angrily. Now he is not qualified to negotiate conditions with the head coach and pick and choose. If he can get the chance to play, he should be thankful. If he really wants to prove in front of the head coach that he has indeed reformed himself, then he should complete the task given to him by the head coach without any conditions.

Now that he can be positioned more forward, directly facing the opponent's defense line, and be a midfielder who sends the last pass, he has breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can play my best position...

※※※

"Let's take a look, Zhang Qinghuan's position is obviously higher... This should be Zhao Kangming's intentional adjustment. Flashing Star, who is one goal behind, is eager to equalize the score. Guanlin, do you think this adjustment directed by Zhao will be too much?" I'm in a hurry, after all, the game has just started?" The commentator of Anton Satellite TV interacted with the guest commentators.

In front of the TV, Wang Yuan was also asking her husband Qin Lin: "Old Qin, what do you think? Are you in a hurry?"

Qin Lin shook his head: "I don't think it can be delayed any longer, and adjustments must be made immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Guanlin, the guest commentator on the TV, said: "I'm really in a hurry, and I should observe it again. Now let Zhang Qinghuan stand on top, and the four midfielders who were originally in a parallel position became a diamond-shaped position. There is only one Ma Wenyi in the midfielder, and the defensive pressure has increased sharply. Nanhai, who has taken the lead, must have a boost in morale and attack with all his strength in the next game. I'm exhausted..."

Qin Lin shook his head when he heard it: "Lao Zhao wants to use our offense to push back the Nanhai team's offense, and we can't let them fight in their home court. This commentator is purely talking on paper. In many cases, the outcome of the game is decided. What matters is not skills and tactics, but morale. The disadvantage after conceding the ball is not a tactical error, but the failure to quickly unify the players on the field, which caused confusion among the players on the field. Of course, they must be suppressed... Lao Zhao's choice is correct Yes, on-the-spot command cannot be rigid and dogmatic."

At the same time, at Hu Lai's house in Dongchuan, Xie Lan frowned after hearing what the guest speaker said, and asked anxiously: "Is that because the head coach is making adjustments? Will Flash Star concede more goals? ?”

Hu Lixin shook his head: "I don't know if I will concede more goals, but this coach's adjustment may allow your son to score goals."

Hearing what her husband said, Xie Lan immediately changed the subject: "Oh, that's a good adjustment!"

Hu Lixin glanced at his wife: "You really have no principles."

"Anything that benefits my son, I will support! Anything that is not beneficial to my son, I will oppose!" Xie Lan raised her head, "This is the principle of being a mother!"

Hu Lixin turned his head to continue watching the game, but the corner of his mouth on the other side couldn't help but curl up.

After Zhang Qinghuan stepped up to the position of the front midfielder, Shan Xing's attack really became a threat.

In the beginning, when Lingnan Nanhai didn't pay enough attention to Zhang Qinghuan, Zhang Qinghuan messed up their defense after getting the ball in the frontcourt.

Even the commentator of Nanling TV kept exclaiming: "Is this the Zhang Qinghuan we all know?!"

The so-called "Zhang Qinghuan we all know" is of course the Zhang Qinghuan who was addicted to alcohol and women and disappeared on and off the court.

But now at the Olympic Sports Center, it was Zhang Qinghuan who took the ball and feinted his opponent to go to the left, but passed the opponent from the right by himself, and then distributed the football to the side.

After Leng Jinyu received Zhang Qinghuan's pass, he broke through with speed and then made a pass from the bottom.

In the middle, Hu Lai and Murphy "two ghosts hit the door" one after the other.

Although in the end the ball made the central defender of the South China Sea team head out and did not form a shot, it actually threatened the goal of the South China Sea team.

When Hu Lai and Murphy jumped towards the football landing point together, the Nanhai fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

※※※

"A good shot!! Although the ball was cleared by the opponent first, but this attack was really beautiful!" On the TV, the commentator of Anton Satellite TV said loudly.

"Look!" Qin Lin slapped his hands, then pointed at the TV and shouted excitedly to his wife and children, "This is what I mean by momentum! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! At this time, we should attack resolutely and take the Suppress their arrogance! Look at those South China Sea fans in the stands, they are terrified!"

His wife, Wang Yuan, saw her husband so excited, and smiled: "You made me think that Shining Star has evened the score..."

"There is hope if we continue to play like this." Qin Lin was no longer excited, but continued to sit on the sofa and watch the game.

The TV screen was reflected in his pupils, making his eyes extraordinarily bright.

※※※

Qin Lin's optimism is justified.

When Zhang Qinghuan is closer to the opponent's defense line, he can send more threatening passes. These passes can help Hu Lai and Murphy get shooting opportunities, and at the same time force the South China Sea team's defense line to shrink further - because they cannot Leaving too much space behind, Zhang Qinghuan will seize the opportunity to send a through ball.

An attacking midfielder who can send deadly passes, plus a striker who is always running into the space behind him.

Such a combination put great pressure on the defense of the South China Sea team.

And when their defense line retreats, there will inevitably be some gaps at the front of the penalty area.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Shining Star launched an offensive. Ma Wenyi, acting as a defensive midfielder, made a sudden thrust back and dribbled the ball from the side to the front.

At the same time, the right back Zhang Hao jumped in from behind him at high speed and pulled away another defensive player of the South China Sea team.

Seeing this, Hu Lai did not wait in the penalty area, but retreated to meet Ma Wenyi.

Ma Wen passed the football sideways to Hu Lai who had withdrawn from the penalty area. With his back to the attacking direction, Hu Lai passed the football sideways to Zhang Qinghuan who was at the top of the penalty arc in the middle.

After passing the ball, he turned around and rushed in.

With this charge, he took away two defensive players - because he was worried that Hu Lai was playing two-for-one with Zhang Qinghuan and colliding with the wall. The striker runs back after passing the ball, and then goes straight through the front midfielder. This kind of offensive routine is too common and classic. Any defender will think of this when seeing the striker turn around and run into the penalty area.

So one of the defensive players of the South China Sea team who was going to block Zhang Qinghuan suddenly dared not step forward easily, for fear that the space behind him would be used.

There was a short space in front of Zhang Qinghuan!

Instead of sending a through ball like before, he chose to shoot directly!

Outside the penalty area, he shot a long shot with great force. The football seemed to be floating on the turf.

For this long-range shot, because the angle was not tricky, the goalkeeper of the Nanhai team moved quickly, and then fell forward, intending to hold the football directly into his arms.

But when the football touched the ground again in front of him, there was a slight rebound, which caused the goalkeeper to make a mistake in judgment.

The hand came back a little slower, and the football that hit his chest bounced out again!

"Let's go!!"

Accompanied by the screams of the Anton Satellite TV commentator, a white figure rushed towards the door!

"Hoola!!"

The figure who turned around and ran back just now didn't stop because Zhang Qinghuan didn't pass the ball to him, but rushed to the goal of the Nanhai team in one breath.

And the football is like a dessert prepared for him long ago, it bounced off and appeared right next to his "mouth"!

There is no hesitation, and there is no delay.

Hu Lai, who rushed to the door, raised his right foot, turned his ankle across, and gently pushed the bounced football...

The football flew into the goal just before the desperate South China Sea goalkeeper crossed his fingers.

At this moment, the defender of the Nanhai team reacted and raised his arm to signal to the referee that Hu Lai was offside.

But neither the line referee nor the main referee made such a penalty. The latter even turned around and pointed his finger at the middle circle, and blew his whistle at the same time!

"Hu Lai!!! The tenth goal of the season! He evened the score for Anton Shining!"
