In the coaching staff's office of the Jiaxiang High School football team, Feng Yuanchang is leading his men to watch the video of Dongchuan Middle School's away game against Gaoshun Jiulong Middle School. This is an Anton Cup quarter-final.
The game finally ended with a score of 3:2. The away team Dongchuan Middle School eliminated the home team Kowloon Middle School.
Kowloon High School, playing at home, performed very tenaciously. They fell behind twice and equalized twice during the game. It was not until the 75th minute that their goal was lost for the last time.
And it was Hu Lai who scored the goal for Dongchuan Middle School.
"...It can be seen that Kowloon Middle School defended Hu Lai more tightly. Not only did they not leave him any space in the penalty area, but they also used a lot of close defense to interfere with him getting the ball. When facing the close defense of Kowloon Middle School
, Hu Lai seems to be struggling." The assistant coach introduced the situation to his colleagues on the coaching staff while watching the game.
"This is what I said about his lack of strength." Feng Yuanchang said. "It can be seen from the video that the defensive players of Kowloon Middle School have not deliberately suppressed Hu Lai in terms of strength."
"But in the end we couldn't guard him and let him score in the 75th minute." The assistant coach sighed.
"Hu Lai's running is very active, and the range of movement is too large. It is really difficult to guard. It can be seen that Li Ziqiang should have strengthened Hu Lai's physical training to give him better running ability." Feng Yuanchang said,
The tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to care much. "When we are playing, we must pay great attention to the defense in the middle. No matter how they pass the ball or how they pass it, as long as there is no space in our middle, they will not be able to do anything to us."
"Well. Hu Lai has outstanding advantages, but also outstanding shortcomings. After all, he has not practiced football for sixteen years before. Now Li Ziqiang does not have time to train him step by step, so he can only enhance his original advantages.
, causing Hu Lai to be seriously biased." The assistant coach agreed. "It can be seen that what Hu Lai is good at is grabbing shots in the penalty area, all of which are close attacks. Let him pull out of the penalty area, and he will
The goal threat has plummeted. He can't even take long-range shots. In this Anton Cup, he shot a total of twenty shots, all in the penalty area."
Just like they studied Luo Kai last year, the coaching staff of Jiaxiang High School studied Hu Lai this year.
"Twenty shots, seven goals, this goal efficiency is quite high!" A coach exclaimed.
"How many shots did Luo Kai take last year? I remember that he seemed to have more shots in one game than all Hulay's shots in this Anton Cup, right?" someone asked.
"That's still not the case. The game in which Luo Kai shot the most shots in the last Anton Cup was the quarter-finals against Brown North Middle School. Luo Kai shot 19 times in one game, which is still better than Hu Lai's in this tournament.
The number of shots in the Anton Cup was one less." The assistant coach explained seriously.
Others laughed: "Hu Lai's number of shots in one game is only one more than Luo Kai's number of shots in one game. Just looking at the number of shots, it really makes people wonder whether he is the core of Dongchuan Middle School's offense.
…”
"This shows that Hu Lai's scoring efficiency is higher. But this is also determined by his playing style." Feng Yuanchang said.
After watching the game video, everyone basically had an idea. Feng Yuanchang said: "As we have judged before, Hu Lai is good at running without the ball and catching opportunities in front of the goal. But his physical confrontation ability is too weak.
Once the defensive players press him closely and use their physical advantages to contain him, his performance will be compromised. The same is true in this game. I think the last ball conceded was because the opponent's defender was worried when he pressed up.
He would be fouled by Hu Lai, but he did not dare to increase his strength, which gave Hu Lai a chance..."
At this point, he replayed the third goal he had just made.
When the opponent's defender pressed forward, Hu Lai staggered. The opponent's defender seemed to be afraid that Hu Lai would fall down, so he quickly raised his hands and retracted his body at the same time. It was this contraction that allowed Hu Lai to find
When he had the chance to get away, he slumped slightly and slipped over. Then he received Xia Xiaoyu's pass and scored the football into the goal of Kowloon Middle School.
"Actually, there is no need for the Kowloon Middle School defender to be so panicked. He must trust the referee's level. As long as he has no obvious hand movements, it is difficult to be called a foul for this kind of collision. And if Hu Lai dares to fall, he will have to
At the risk of being shown a yellow card for diving, he already has a yellow card in this Anton Cup. If he gets another yellow card, he will be automatically suspended for one game, so there is no need to worry too much about being disqualified if there is a physical confrontation.
Things like fouls on the defensive side." Feng Yuanchang emphasized.
Using your body to fight Hu Lai, the only risk you need to worry about is fouling.
Feng Yuanchang still has a deep understanding of the rules and knows that there is no need to worry about fouls in normal physical confrontations. After all, football is a sport that allows physical confrontations. According to the rules, there is no such requirement as "no physical contact is allowed when entering the penalty area."
As long as there is no sign of force on the arms or stretching of the legs to kick the opponent, there is no need to worry about being called a foul for ordinary collisions.

"Harder! Harder!"
"Didn't you have lunch?"
Li Ziqiang's roar echoed throughout the football field of Dongchuan Middle School.
The Dongchuan Middle School football team is training, and Hu Lai is conducting a special training just for him.
He was in the penalty area, and Li Ziqiang was behind him, with his hands behind his back, pushing Hu Lai forward with all his strength. But what about Hu Lai? His body was slightly tilted back, and the bulging muscles on his thighs and the bulging blood vessels on his neck were visible.
The blue veins showed that he was fighting hard against the head coach behind him.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoyu passed the football into the penalty area, and Hu Lai was about to catch the ball when he felt the coach behind him suddenly exert force and use his shoulders to push him forward. Naturally, the ball did not reach him at all.
Got it.
"Don't relax your body when you are preparing to catch the ball. This is when you are most likely to be squeezed out of position by the opponent." Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai who used his hands and feet to prevent himself from completely falling to the ground, and shook his head.
"Come again!"
Hu Lai got up from the ground and retreated to the edge of the penalty area. After Li Ziqiang gave the order, he ran into the penalty area. Then he and Li Ziqiang got together.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoyu’s football came again.
This time Hu Lai successfully received the ball due to the coach's interference, but when he shot, he could no longer maintain the state of wrestling with the coach. Under the coach's interference, the shot lost its accuracy.
"When shooting, open your hands and hold them up. Don't let defensive players get close to you! Did you practice your upper body strength in vain before?!" Li Ziqiang criticized again. "Continue!"
Li Ziqiang issued the instruction again, and Xia Xiaoyu passed the football into the space.
At the same time, Hu Lai ran into the space, and Li Ziqiang also ran over.
The moment Hu Lai caught the ball and shot, Li Ziqiang stepped forward.
After a bang, Hu Lai fell to the ground, but he had already shot the football towards the goal.
As he fell, he did not forget to turn his head to observe the final result of the shot. He saw that the football he shot drew a parabola in the air, and then fell steadily into the arms of Meng Xi, who was standing motionless in front of the goal.
.
Li Ziqiang, who also turned to observe the result, said: "Hey, this time is good, at least I can shoot within the door frame."
People don't know whether he is praising Hu Lai or mocking Hu Lai.
"When you shoot, you have to keep your body steady. You have to fly freely. When the opponent comes up, you will lose your center of gravity. Come again!"
"Come again!"
"continue!"
…
Just like this, Hu Lai was tortured again and again until the training was over.
Hu Lai collapsed on the ground, feeling sore all over his body.
All the strength seemed to have been drained away, and the legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing Hu Lai's embarrassment, Li Ziqiang shook his head and said: "Actually, you can pretend to be wrestling with the defensive player at the receiving point, then suddenly withdraw your strength, turn around, and then run to the correct landing point to catch the ball and shoot. You don't have to force the shot.
.”
Hu Lai, who was breathing heavily, stopped breathing when he heard the coach say this. He raised his head and looked at Li Ziqiang in surprise: "Can it still be like this?"
"Why can't it be like this? On the football field, as long as you can score the football into the goal, who cares how you score it?"
"I'm not a coach... Then why should I practice this?" Hu Lai felt wronged, coach. "Have you told me earlier? Have all my sins in the past few weeks been in vain?!"
"Ha." Li Ziqiang snorted with a smile, "Before you withdraw your strength and turn around, you must first have the strength to hold the opponent's defensive player back. If you don't practice this, you won't be able to hold it back. If the opponent exerts a little force, you will fall down.
How can I fight if I'm down? Kneel down and beg for mercy?"
Hu Lai was right...
So he lay back down again, panting heavily on the turf again, and rested.
Li Ziqiang turned his head and glanced at Hu Lai, whose chest was heaving on the ground, then turned and walked towards his coach's office.
This weekend is the semi-final against Jiaxiang High School. I hope that the special training I gave Hu Lai can have some effect.
He believes that with Feng Yuanchang's level, he will definitely notice Hu Lai's weak physical confrontation ability, and will definitely make defensive arrangements to address this.
He hoped to give Mr. Feng a little surprise by then.
