"Li Yi, why did you suddenly abandon your position and run to the front line when defending that corner kick?"
In the locker room, Liang Yuanhao, the head coach of Shuguang High School, was questioning the central defender Li Yi. To put it bluntly, the ball lost was because Li Yi suddenly left his defense zone, causing chaos in the defense of Shuguang High School.
"I...I thought Hu Lai would go up front to fight for the header..." Li Yi explained.
"You think? You think it's true? You never thought that the other party was just trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Li Yi was scolded so hard that he lowered his head and was unable to make any excuse.
Chen Xingyi saw his teammate being criticized by the head coach. After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Coach, Li Yi's worries are justified. That Hu Lai has always been cunning. If Li Yi doesn't follow up, maybe the opponent will
Did he really kick the football up front and let Hu Lai compete for the top spot? It can only be said that Li Yi got his way this time."
Hearing Team Chen speak for him and mentioning Hu Lai's cunningness, Li Yi quickly raised his head and opened his mouth to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Liang Yuanhao said angrily when he saw this.
"That's it, coach, I admit that I made a mistake in this defense. But just before this corner kick, Hu Lai told me personally that he gave up competing with the Chen team for the top scorer and that he would help his teammates pull the ball.
Open our defense line..."
"Haha, so you believe it?" Liang Yuanhao sneered.
"I didn't believe it at the time, coach. It's just that the corner kick was indeed caused by Xia Xiaoyu's sudden shot. Their subsequent corner kick also gave the football to Mao Xiao, not him. The reason why he was able to score the goal was just lucky and happened to appear.
It’s just about the placement of the football...I’m not trying to make excuses for my mistakes, I just hope that everyone will be careful not only about a fool in the second half of the game..."
After saying that, Li Yi lowered his head again, as if he had made a mistake and admitted it obediently.
Liang Yuanhao fell into a brief silence after listening to his words. He also did not expect that Hu Lai and Li Yi had such a conversation before that goal.
Is this a deliberate psychological warfare by the other party?
It is possible.
But this does not mean that the opponent will not adjust their tactics.
Especially after the intermission, Li Ziqiang will definitely not be indifferent to this. Since he can make targeted arrangements based on Chen Xingyi's information, why won't Li Ziqiang also make adjustments based on the information provided by Hu Lai?
?
In the first half of the game, Dongchuan Middle School did intend to use Hu Lai as the final terminator of the offense, but what about the second half?
Does he dare to bet that Hu Lai will not give up the scoring opportunity to other teammates and will shoot every ball by himself? Bet that Hu Lai dares to defy the head coach's orders on the court for a golden boot?
Liang Yuanhao didn't dare to gamble.
So he said to the whole team: "Li Yi is right, you must pay more attention to other Dongchuan Middle School players in the second half, especially Shen Yulin and Xia Xiaoyu..."
※※※
At the same time, in the locker room of Dongchuan Middle School, Li Ziqiang also said to Shen Yulin and Xia Xiaoyu: "In the second half, you should be more active in looking for scoring opportunities to share the defensive pressure for Hu Lai. At the same time, Hu Lai. "
He looked at Hu Lai again.
Hu Lai straightened his back immediately.
"I know that at this point in the game, your physical fitness will definitely be affected. But in the second half of the game, you still have to expand your defensive coverage. Don't just stay in front. Run more and create opportunities for others..."
Hearing this, Hu Lai patted his chest and said proudly: "Coach, don't worry, I have no physical problems at all!"
He was telling the truth. After drinking a bottle of [Stamina Potion] before, all the physical energy he consumed in the semi-final against Chongwen Middle School was fully restored. After half a game, his physical energy was really only used up for half the game. It's just the physical energy consumed, unlike others, it's the physical energy consumed in this half plus the previous four games...
However, Li Ziqiang only regarded Hu Lai's words as his usual exaggerated performance. He glared at him and asked him to pay attention to his words and deeds, but said nothing more.
※※※
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Liang Yuanhao discovered that Hu Lai's range of activities had indeed expanded, and he was not just fixed in the penalty area waiting to shoot and score.
From this point of view, Li Ziqiang must have made targeted adjustments, allowing Hu Lai to shoulder the task of opening up the defense and creating opportunities for his teammates.
If he hadn't followed suit and asked his defensive players to defend Hu Lai first, I'm afraid his defense would have been ripped out of a hole by the opponent...
Fortunately, I am good at listening to the players' opinions, and I am not the kind of headstrong coach who thinks he is the most authoritative and the players know nothing.
After the start of the second half of the game, the Dongchuan Middle School players discovered that Shuguang High School had also made targeted arrangements. Xia Xiaoyu and Shen Yulin did not get shooting opportunities as easily as they did in the first half.
The game was somewhat deadlocked.
However, this balanced situation was broken not long after. Shuguang High School still had a higher level of skills. Their offensive was even more fierce, and they had the potential to overwhelm Dongchuan Middle School.
"Your dad's idea is right, Qingqing." Yang Mingwei in front of the TV explained to Li Qingqing while watching the game, "He wants to use Hu Lai to attract the opponent's defensive attention and create opportunities for others. But there is a problem. It's because the overall strength of Dongchuan Middle School is not as good as Shuguang High School. Is the No. 9 center called Shen Yulin? His shooting skills are relatively mediocre, his scoring ability is far inferior to Hu Lai's, and it is easier to defend. Again. In addition, the head coach of Shuguang High School has also made targeted arrangements, which can be said to be tit for tat... In this case, the final comparison is still the overall strength of the two teams... At this time, if there is a player who is good at attacking …”
Li Qingqing thought to herself, Uncle Yang, you really love Luo Kai...
"But there is no such player in Dongchuan Middle School." Li Qingqing asked, "Uncle Yang, what do you think we should do?"
"Shrink the defense line to counterattack. In this competition, Dongchuan Middle School scored several such counterattack goals. It is feasible to use overall fast passing and cutting instead of individual dribbling attacks. At the same time, the opponent does not care about the counterattack.
Whether the defensive formation is completely intact, there will be many gaps that can be exploited by Hu Lai. The only problem is physical fitness. After the players of Dongchuan Middle School have been exhausted in the previous four games, I don’t know how long they can last in the finals.
, especially the offensive players, they need to return to defense in time and press forward immediately when counterattacking, which is a test for their physical fitness."
Li Qingqing also admitted that Uncle Yang's arrangement was the best.
In fact, during the live TV broadcast, she had already seen her father get up from the coach's seat and walk to the sidelines.
Maybe adjustments need to be made.
It’s just that Dongchuan Middle School is in control of the ball now, so there is no need to make adjustments now. If you want to make adjustments, you have to wait until the game enters a dead ball situation, or when Shuguang High School controls the ball...

In the second half, Hu Lai's range of activities was indeed wider. When Dongchuan Middle School took the ball and launched an attack, he retreated to the forward line and received the ball with his back to the offensive direction.
Of course, there must be Shuguang High School players behind him.
Even if it's not Li Yi, it's someone else who should be in this position.
Hu Lai couldn't turn around and moved the football laterally to the wing, giving it to the full-back Yang Fan who came in behind.
Then he turned around and ran into the penalty area.
After Yang Fan caught the ball, players from Shuguang High School immediately stepped on him to prevent him from breaking through with the ball so easily.
Seeing this, Yang Fan passed the football to full-back Ma Shuang, who was retreating to meet him, and then pushed forward himself.
Because Ma Shuang received the ball with his back to the attacking direction, he could not dribble the ball to break through. However, he did not immediately pass the football back to Yang Fan, who was penetrating forward, because someone from Shuguang High School was guarding Yang Fan there. His intention was to penetrate forward.
Too obvious.
So Ma Shuang passed the football back to the center and gave it to Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu was already optimistic about the opening before catching the ball. Ma Shuang's move to the middle attracted the attention of Shuguang High School players. Everyone turned their attention to the middle, which resulted in an opening on their side.
And that gap was exactly the direction Yang Fan moved forward.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't stop the ball and directly passed the football. The football flew over the heads of the players on both sides and fell straight into the space.
Yang Fan stepped in and appeared in the space to catch the ball!
The stands filled with cheers from neutral fans cheering for Dongchuan Middle School!
After Yang Fan lifted his foot to remove the football, he made a slight adjustment and did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to lead it to the wing of Shuguang High School.
Zhou Haoxuan, the left back of Shuguang High School, cautiously stood in front of him and did not make a rash move.
At the same time, their midfielder Zheng Qian quickly returned to defense, preparing to guard Yang Fan together with Zhou Haoxuan.
At the same time, in the penalty area, Shen Yulin was entangled with the opponent's center back Hu Qiyan. Both of them made some moves with their hands. Shen Yulin wanted to get rid of the opponent, while Hu Qiyan used his hands and feet to get his body stuck inside. Prevent Shen Yulin from successfully settling into position.
In addition, Hu Lai was also beside Shen Yulin, facing Li Yi. The four of them huddled together near the penalty spot.
In addition to them, in the penalty area of Shuguang High School, there are also the right back Sun Xiaohai who retreats to the goal, and the winger Zhang Hongtao who returns to defend. He ran into the penalty area with Tang Yuan from Dongchuan Middle School. Now He is also responsible for defending Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan occupies the back position in the penalty area.
Fei Yi, the defensive midfielder of Shuguang High School, also moved into the penalty area. He did not go to the middle to join in the fun, but got stuck in the ribs close to the football. If Yang Fan passed the inverted triangle ball and passed the football to Xia Xiaoyu who was in the middle, then he would be right Being able to get stuck in the passing route makes it difficult for Xia Xiaoyu to catch the ball. This is better than directly defending against Xia Xiaoyu, as it can not only mark people, but also take care of regional defense.
Goalkeeper Pei Jie guarded the front line, blocking the angle and guarding against Yang Fan's cross.
Everyone is ready. It would be great if Zhou Haoxuan can stop Yang Fan. If he can't, a dragnet has been set up in the penalty area to target Dongchuan Middle School's attack.
Facing the full-back Zhou Haoxuan who was not coming up, Yang Fan suddenly brought the football into the penalty area, as if he was going to force a one-on-one with Zhou Haoxuan!
But as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly kicked off and passed the football towards the goal!
Zhou Haoxuan was originally guarding against his breakthrough, but now that he saw a sudden cross, he had time to raise his foot to block his pass! But the football did not fly up and hit his legs, but was lifted up from him against the turf. Take off and fly by quickly, move forward!
When Yang Fan was dribbling the ball forward, Hu Lai suddenly rushed forward, leaning his body weight forward, as if to seize a favorable position in the middle of the goal, causing Li Yi to quickly retreat.
But Hu Lai's shot was just a feint. After tricking Li Yi into retreating, he stopped his tendency to lean forward, stopped suddenly, retreated, and moved forward from Shen Yulin!
Li Yi was shocked when he saw this and quickly tried to intercept Hu Lai.
But at this moment, Shen Yulin suddenly pushed forward desperately and blocked Li Yi's path. The two of them collided firmly.
Hu Qiyan, who was originally guarding Shen Yulin, reacted quickly. After noticing the movements of Shen Yulin and Hu Lai, especially when he saw Shen Yulin and Li Yi bumping into each other, he immediately withdrew and wanted to help Li Yi. Art defends Hu Lai.
It's just that he has been left behind by Hu Lai.
In fact, he had just come around when he saw the football rolling towards Hu Lai. Hu Lai, who was coming around, faced the rolling football and flicked it with the outside of his right foot!
The football quickly changed its line and flew towards the back of the goal!
Pei Jie, who was blocking the shot and guarding against the cross at the front point, was moving back as the cross was passed when he saw the football suddenly flying over. He reflexively raised his arms and turned sideways to save... It was still too slow!
The football flew into the goal before his fingertips!

ps, there will be a video easter egg later to explain the scoring process.
