The football tactics of Chongwen Middle School are characterized by various skillful combinations of passing and cutting. This tactic is based on the fact that every player involved knows when and how to do what they should do in this system.
For example, when should we choose more conservative cross passes and back passes, and when should we choose risky through balls?
When should you step up to meet your teammates, and when should you move horizontally to open up space?
This kind of tactical requirement is actually very demanding for high school teams, and there are very few teams that can do it. This is related to the fact that Chongwen Middle School has sent many players to the echelon of professional teams before the national competition, allowing Chongwen Middle School to compete in
The training will be closer to the requirements of professional teams, which in turn makes Chongwen Middle School a famous football school in the country.
In the past, when Chongwen Middle School faced other opponents, because of their superior strength, they could naturally stay awake and calm at all times, and calmly use passes and movements to mobilize their opponents. They were always in an advantageous position, while their opponents were beaten by them.
The pass was thrown into confusion and anger.
When their opponents lose their minds, they can calmly harvest goals and victory.
In turn, there aren't many teams that can cause themselves to be in chaos and lose their minds.
Even in the finals of the last national competition, when Chongwen Middle School and Shuguang High School competed for the championship, it never happened like this. At that time, Chongwen Middle School used their best passing and ball control to fight against Shuguang High School until they lost the game.
Basic tactical discipline was still maintained.
The only time before that they were so unlucky in a competition was back in the first round of the last national competition, when their opponent was Shuguang High School. As the defending champion, Chongwen Middle School, which was proud to underestimate its opponent, was caught off guard by Chen Xingyi.
, I lost the ball first and then panicked, and then I tried to get nervous but made myself at a loss.
In the end, they lost to Chen Xingyi in the chaos, and were eliminated by Shuguang High School, which participated in the national competition for the first time.
However, at that time, Chen Xingyi relied on his superhuman performance and hard power to throw Chongwen Middle School into chaos. Even if they were eliminated, the players of Chongwen Middle School would always feel that this kid was good enough when they talked about Chen Xingyi.
To be qualified to be our opponent at Chongwen Middle School is due to our admiration and sympathy for this powerful opponent.
Hu Lai, on the other hand, used his "despicability" to make the Chongwen Middle School players furious. It is estimated that after this game is over, if Chongwen Middle School is really eliminated, then all Chongwen Middle School players and supporters will start talking about Hu Lai.
Laidu could only gnash their teeth, wishing they could eat their meat raw. There was no way they would have any praise for Hu Lai who defeated them.

When Chongwen Middle School loses its composure and launches an attack, it is not easy for them to play the cumbersome pass-cutting and running tactics they are good at, and then use the pass to open up space and then send the football over.
Several times they clearly had opportunities, but the Chongwen Middle School players on the field did not continue to pass the ball, but chose a simpler and rougher style of play that was obviously not in line with their habits. For example, taking a long shot directly, or taking a high ball from the wing.
Cross.
Off the court, Xu Fengjiang was very dissatisfied with the players' performance. He kept roaring on the sidelines, waving his arms, and using exaggerated body movements to express his anger.
But this doesn't help.
He could only and must make adjustments through substitutions. When Zhang Lijie came back from warm-up, he immediately pushed him to the sidelines and replaced him.
Except for Zhang Lijie, he also used up all three substitution quotas in one go, replacing players who had obviously lost control of their emotions and could not be replaced no matter how hard they tried, but they could still keep their heads above water.
Through this operation, with less than ten minutes left in the game, the Chongwen Middle School team finally gradually returned to normal, and had a certain immunity to Hu Lai's deliberate provocation.
However, Li Ziqiang also made his adjustments at this time. He replaced more midfielders and defenders, and made the entire formation retreat. Instead of maintaining a high press to compress the midfield space as before, he replaced
Choose to compress the space near the penalty area to prevent the players from Chongwen Middle School from getting too many opportunities when they are desperate to attack.
At this time, Li Ziqiang drove the bus from midfield to his goal and blocked it tightly.
As for Hu Lai.
It is difficult for him to directly intercept the ball from Chongwen Middle School players during defense, and his physical condition does not allow him to use his body to interfere with the opponent's players getting the ball. He can only do everything possible to waste some time when the ball is controlled by Dongchuan Middle School.
.
This is the only contribution he can make as he is not good at defense.
Chongwen Middle School pressed forward in the last few minutes of the game and bombarded Dongchuan Middle School's goal.
The Dongchuan Middle School players all returned to the 30-meter area. If the ball was transferred to their feet, they would kick the ball to the front sideline with a big kick, trying to kick the football out of the sideline, rather than giving the opponent a backcourt foul ball.
, and will definitely not let Chongwen Middle School get the frontcourt foul ball.
The substitutes on both sides nervously got up from the bench, stood up, and looked anxiously at the court.
The two head coaches were also standing on the sidelines, staring in the same direction.
After all, Dongchuan Middle School only leads by one goal. As long as Chongwen Middle School can score a goal and equalize the score, their morale will be boosted. In this way, even if the game is dragged into a penalty shootout, they will have an even greater advantage.
After all, excluding that stupid mistake, Marin is an excellent goalkeeper and has good penalty kick skills.
At the last moment of the game, even the goalkeeper Marin rushed to the frontcourt and participated in the team's offense. He did not rush directly to the goal of Dongchuan Middle School at the beginning, but crossed the center line to participate in the team's attack.
The passing organization allows the central defender to directly press into the penalty area of Dongchuan Middle School and act as a center, and then allows the midfield teammates to push forward to continue to maintain pressure.
But this had little effect. In the end, he simply went into the penalty area and used his height and header to become a center forward.
Not to mention, he actually got a chance to win the title once.
When he threw the football toward the goal, the football was firmly held by Meng Xi with both hands, and he didn't even give Chongwen Middle School a corner kick.
After Meng Xi got the ball, he saw that the opponent's goalkeeper almost rushed to him. The goal behind must be blank, so he didn't hold the football on the ground for a while and waste time, but directly kicked it.
Kick the football towards the goal of Chongwen Middle School.
Marin is also a goalkeeper, so of course he knows what Meng Xi is going to do. It will definitely be too late for him to turn around and run back. At this time, there is only one solution, and that is to simply stop Meng Xi from kicking the football out!
So he also followed Hu Lai's example and reached out to pull Meng Xi who was about to release the ball, causing the latter to fail to kick the big kick.
The referee's whistle then sounded, calling Marin a foul.
Marin did not argue for himself in front of the referee, nor did he shake his head in frustration. After the foul, he turned around and ran to the meeting - he was afraid that Dongchuan Middle School would take another free kick...
After seeing Hu Lai's despicableness, he now had to use the greatest malice to speculate on his opponent.
Seeing Ma Lin's embarrassed figure running back with his head buried in the ground, the commentator sighed: "Ma Lin, who is a senior in high school this year, this is his last high school national competition and his last chance to win back the national championship for Chongwen Middle School. In
When Chongwen Middle School won the national championship, he was not a member of the team. However, after he secured his position as the main goalkeeper of the defending champion as a freshman in high school, he never expected that he would suffer the same fate in his first national competition.
He suffered a heavy blow and was eliminated in the first round... After learning from the painful experience, he led the team to make a comeback again and reached the finals, but lost to old rivals Shuguang High School and Chen Xingyi in the finals..."
Although the game is not over yet, when the supporters of Chongwen Middle School in front of the TV heard that the commentator had begun to review Marin's high school football career, they had a very bad feeling - maybe this national football powerhouse
I can't even make it to the finals this time...
When Marin finally ran back to his own goal, even though he didn't even take a breath, he still tried his best to assume a defensive posture, preparing to deal with Dongchuan Middle School's free kick.
He believed that the goalkeeper from Dongchuan Middle School would definitely kick the football over with his big kick. Even if he couldn't score, he could still try to waste a little more time.
After receiving the ball, he should dribble the ball into the frontcourt again and continue to organize the offense.
But he didn't wait for the football. What he waited for was the referee's three whistles.
In the huge noise of the stadium, these three whistles were not even very obvious. When the first whistle sounded, it was covered up by Marin's own heavy breathing, and he did not hear it at all.
The second whistle was drowned in the sound from the stands.
It wasn't until the third whistle that Marin heard it and understood the meaning of the whistle through the referee's gestures.
The game is over. The runner-up in the last national competition lost in the semi-finals this time.
But they don't have to pack their bags and go home the next day, because there is still a third or fourth place final to play.
But the national championship dream was completely out of reach for them.
The captain of Chongwen Middle School panted and looked at the cheering Dongchuan Middle School players in the frontcourt, his eyes dull.
※※※
"Okay, the opponent for the final is here." Chen Xingyi patted his thigh and stood up from his seat, "It's time to go back."
Sun Yonggang noticed that Chen Xingyi had a clear smile on his face when he said this, so he asked curiously: "You seem to really hope that Dongchuan Middle School will enter the finals?"
"Yes, the last final was against Chongwen Middle School. I really don't want to see them again this year, especially I don't want to see Marin's face. I'm tired of aesthetics. This year, I'll have an opponent I've never encountered before, which will be a lot more fresh.
good?"
Chen Xingyi said as he walked down the stairs and walked outside the stadium.
Sun Yonggang asked the photographer to follow him quickly, but he stood at the top of the steps and cast his eyes on the stadium.
The substitute players from Dongchuan Middle School have rushed onto the court and are celebrating wildly.
And Hu Lai, who performed well in this game, was hugging his teammates, arms around each other, and jumping up and down.
Although he was a bit far away, he couldn't clearly see the expression on his face.
But Sun Yonggang believed that this young man must be smiling happily at this moment.
So he laughed happily, then looked down at his feet and stepped down the steps step by step.

People in the stands had already left, but Dai Zetao was still sitting in his seat, placing an open notebook on his lap and writing on it with a ballpoint pen:
"...Although Hu Lai is not superior in physical fitness, he is very good at playing football with his mind. He will carefully observe the opponent's performance in the game and not miss every detail that can be exploited. Sometimes, in order to win and
To score goals, we will do whatever it takes within the limits allowed by the rules."
After writing this, Dai Zetao put down his pen and looked up at the stadium again.
Players from both sides were already lining up to shake hands with each other.
Although he was far away and couldn't see the players' facial expressions clearly, he could still tell that the players from Chongwen Middle School still had a lot of resentment towards Hu Lai.
evidence?
Almost every Chongwen Middle School player who shook hands with Hu Lai would turn away, without even looking at the person shaking hands with him. The handshake was also very perfunctory. Basically, he would immediately withdraw his hand if it touched Hu Lai's hand.
He has heard the saying "lose when you lose", but does this count as "win when you lose"?
Dai Zetao shook his head. How could such a performance be considered a "loser"? Perhaps only the players and supporters of Chongwen Middle School would think so.
Everyone else, as long as they have watched this game, will think that Hu Lai is the best player in this game and the hero of the Dongchuan Middle School football team's victory.
Thinking of this, Dai Zetao lowered his head and picked up the pen and continued to write in his notebook:
"...Although he is only a sophomore in high school, he has surprisingly rich game experience, and his understanding of the game is completely beyond that of his peers. I think physical fitness can be trained, and football skills can also be trained, but this understanding of the football game and intelligence
It is difficult to train a good mind, which, together with his ability to run without the ball, constitutes his best football talent."
