Chapter 176 What kind of corner kick tactics is this?!
"...The game has been going on for twenty minutes, and the score is still 0:0..." He Feng's voice came through the stereo, "At the beginning of the game, Anton Flashing Star adopted defensive tactics. They almost
All players shrunk to their own half, and buses were set up in the penalty area. There is nothing wrong with this tactic. Most weak teams will make this choice when facing strong teams. The special rule of the Football Association Cup is that 90
If the score is a draw after 2 minutes, there will be no overtime and a direct penalty kick. This also provides legal support for the weak team to use this bus display... It's just that they have been so stubborn from the beginning of the game.
Do you really want to hold on until the end of the 90-minute game?"
"Why not? Our Flash Stars have the strongest defense in China League One!" Someone in the bar answered He Feng's question loudly.
As if he could really hear the fan's words, He Feng then said: "Even if Flash Star has the best defense in the Chinese League One, the opponent's level is completely different. Poseidon's attack just now was quite threatening.
.If Wang Guangwei hadn’t made a decisive tackle at the critical moment and kicked the football out of the baseline, Weng Guocai’s shot might have threatened the goal guarded by Yu Zhiming!”
Commentator Yan Kang said: "Wang Guangwei is indeed a rare good defender. He left a very deep impression on us in the East Asian Cup. His physical fitness is not the best, but he is good at using his brain to play football and face pressure.
The performance was calm. I think no matter the outcome of this game, it will be a rare experience for Wang Guangwei and it will be of great help to his future development."
"It is indeed the case. Defenders need to be in this extreme environment to see their true level. So far, Bingxing's goal has not conceded a goal, which is inseparable from Wang Guangwei's outstanding performance."
But at this moment, Wang Guangwei on the field was definitely not as calm and calm as the two commentators praised him. On the contrary, his heartbeat was very fast and he was extremely nervous.
After destroying Poseidon's attack just now, he opened his mouth wide and gasped for air.
You know, Wang Guangwei is not the kind of person who gets exhausted after playing a game for a while. His physical fitness is very good. But now that the game has only been played for more than 20 minutes, Wang Guangwei is already feeling tired.
You can imagine how intense this game was.
At this time, Wang Guangwei fully understood why Boss Qin Lin originally said that in the game between Flash Star and Nanhai Team, if Nanhai Team were replaced by the top four in the Chinese Super League, Flash Star would definitely lose. Flash Star might catch up in a short time.
The opponent's rhythm is different, but if the whole game is played like this, Flashing Star will be dragged down first.
It will indeed be dragged down first...
Wang Guangwei thought in his heart.
This intensity consumes too much physical energy.
This is not yet the top four teams in the Chinese Super League, but only sixth...
An all-out sixth place finish.
Although Qin Lin did not wear the captain's armband, he was clapping his hands hard and shouting: "Concentrate! Pay attention to corner kick defense!! Keep an eye on people and don't miss them!!"
As an experienced veteran player, he knows that in such high-intensity confrontations, players can easily suffer from brain hypoxia due to excessive physical exertion, unable to think normally, and thus become relaxed and distracted.
At this time, players must shout loudly to remind each other on the court to reduce the chance of making mistakes.
The Poseidon team sent out a corner kick, but the corner kick was not taken well. It hit an open space. There was no Poseidon player in this space. Instead, the captain and central defender Li Tielin of the Stars jumped up high and then...
Football has reached the bottom line again.
"Oops!" The commentator of Anton TV sighed after seeing this scene, "Li Tielin didn't handle the ball well. He could have pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and maybe he would have a chance to make a quick counterattack. But he ended up like this
He pushed the football out of the bottom and gave Poseidon a corner kick!"
Guest commentator Lu Guanlin explained for Li Tielin: "He couldn't see what was behind him when he jumped, and no one from his teammates reminded him, so it was okay for him to push the football over the bottom line just to be on the safe side... But from the perspective of the handling of the ball
It can be seen how much pressure the Flash Star team is under now, and even the experienced captain Li Tielin is a little impatient..."
"Seconds are like years now. Only twenty-three minutes have passed in the game. Flash Star has not even had a shot. The Poseidon team should have had nine shots... As expected, it is too difficult to challenge a truly powerful Chinese Super League team.
.It’s no wonder that there are voices on the Internet now questioning Zhao Kangming’s decision.”
Lu Guanlin said: "But I understand Zhao Kangming. From a personal emotional point of view, this may be a knot in his mind. If he cannot let it go, he will not be able to move forward better. Some people say that going to the Chinese Super League next season will be different.
Can you seek revenge from Poseidon? I think if Zhao Kangming gives up the opportunity for revenge now, then he may not be able to stand up to Poseidon again in the future. In the field of competitive sports, there should be less shrewd calculations and more determination to move forward.
Momentum..."
The TV broadcast happened to reach the Flashing Star coaching bench at this moment. Zhao Kangming stood on the sidelines, frowning, and looking solemnly in the direction of his team's penalty area.
※※※
Poseidon didn't even expect that they could get another corner kick. The last corner kick was obviously not taken well, so since Flashing Star gave them another chance, they naturally couldn't let it go easily.
They once again laid down their ambush in front of the Flashing Star Gate, preparing to move.
It's a pity that this time after their corner kick was taken, they still couldn't pass it to their teammates.
However, Flash Star captain Li Tielin once again won the ball.
This time, Li Tielin did not hastily push the football out of the baseline, but directly made a lion's head in front of the goal and threw the football outside the penalty area!
Zhang Qinghuan had already moved outside the penalty area when the Poseidon team kicked the football out.
Sure enough, he saw Li Tielin push the football over.
So before anyone could react, he had already stopped the football with his chest outside the penalty area.
Then turn around.
In front of him, Chen Xingyi began to run forward!
Without hesitation, he made a long pass and kicked the football towards Chen Xingyi.
This is a counterattack routine that Flashing Star has practiced many times over the past month and a half.
When the opponent takes a set kick in the frontcourt, if Flash Star gets the ball, then Chen Xingyi will run forward desperately. He does not need to consider whether he can catch the ball at all, even if he wastes his energy in the end and is in vain.
It doesn't matter if you take a trip.
The key is for him to run up!
"Flashing Star's counterattack!" the commentator of Anton TV Sports Channel shouted.
Chen Xingyi received the through ball sent to him by Zhang Qinghuan.
Facing Poseidon midfielder Zhang Bing who ran diagonally from the midfield to block him, his right shoulder sank slightly. At the same time, he used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football to the other side and accelerated past Zhang Bing!
"Beautiful! Young man chasing the wind!" He Feng couldn't help but shout out when he saw this scene.
Chen Xingyi kicked the ball more than ten meters and continued to accelerate to chase the ball.
He still remembers what Director Zhao said to him before the game: "Take full advantage of your speed and don't worry about whether any teammates can keep up... If you can't keep up, you can't keep up. Just move forward!"
Just keep moving forward!
Chen Xingyi did not turn around to look at Hu Lai's position. He only had football in his eyes and the Poseidon full-back who was returning to defend a little further ahead.
There were bursts of boos in the stands of Nanshan Stadium, home of Poseidon.
But to Chen Xingyi's ears, this was the most beautiful sound in the world, because he scared them!
In terms of speed alone, Chen Xingyi is faster than Luo Kai!
He ran wildly on the turf, like a horse running on the grassland, with a light body, undulating posture, and unique beauty.
Then he reached the restricted area of Poseidon.
As expected, Hu Lai did not follow him. Faced with the Poseidon full-back who was back on defense, he cut inside, but then suddenly continued to break into the penalty area, and then before the opponent could get close to him, he shot with his left foot!
The football went straight to the near corner of the goal!
"Chen Xingyi shot——!"
Amid the elongated roars of the Anton Satellite TV commentator, Poseidon team's goalkeeper and captain Chen Faren jumped sideways and slapped the football from the near post out of the baseline with one palm!
"Chen Faren's save was very beautiful! He ended the Dingxing attack! Chen Xingyi looked very regretful. He put his head in his hands and knelt down in the Poseidon team's penalty area... But having said that, although the goal was not scored, Dingxing's
The quick attack was very beautiful. Taking advantage of the Poseidon team's carelessness when they continuously had the advantage, they almost knocked on Poseidon's goal!"
Although He Feng was praising Flashing Star, there was regret in his tone at the same time.
In his opinion, what Chen Xingyi missed was probably Bingxing's best scoring opportunity in the game. If the goal could be scored, Bingxing might still have a chance to compete with Poseidon.
But the goal didn't go in, and Flash Star's failure was a foregone conclusion...
Looking at Chen Xingyi's annoyed look, he must be aware of this.
But after dribbling the ball for such a long distance, he can still kick such a stable shot. Chen Xingyi's performance has been very good.
It can only be said that Poseidon's captain Chen Faren is worthy of being the captain of the team. His performance is stable and he is the "Great Wall of the Sea" that makes the whole Poseidon team feel at ease.
"Although Flash Star got a corner kick for this, it may be a dilemma for them now - with the revelation that Flash Star used corner kicks to quickly counterattack, will Poseidon also use this opportunity to hit Flash Star once?"
What about counterattack? So should Flash Star take precautions against this situation? Is there no way to get more people to participate in this corner kick attack? If there are not enough people to go up, how big can Flash Star's corner kick be?
To what extent does it threaten Poseidon’s goal?”
He Feng asked on behalf of the fans.
After he asked, he saw the players from Flash Star running up one after another.
In particular, their two central defenders, Li Tielin and Wang Guangwei, did not stay behind to prevent the Poseidon team's counterattack, but ran to the Poseidon team's goal together to prepare for the top.
Looking at the back, Flashing Star did not leave a large group of people to defend behind. Except for the two full-backs and a defensive midfielder, everyone else went up.
Zhang Qinghuan went to take the corner kick, and Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Qin Lin, and Waters also came to the Poseidon penalty area.
"Of course, for Flash Stars, who are obviously weaker than their opponents, set pieces are an important means of scoring. If you want to score goals, you must grasp the set pieces... But the risk of doing so is still a bit high...
He Feng frowned.
He felt that Zhao Kangming might be gambling.
Otherwise, some order was given. For example, if the Poseidon team took the opportunity to counterattack, they would directly commit a tactical foul in the frontcourt to delay the opponent's attack.
But then He Feng stared at the broadcast screen and frowned.
Flash star player this is...
※※※
In the Poseidon team's penalty area, Wang Guangwei and Li Tielin, the two high-pointers, both stood in the goal area. They also raised their arms to indicate their positions to Zhang Qinghuan.
Because of their presence, the Poseidon players were also around them, entangled with them, and defending them.
But the other Flash Star players did not follow suit. On the contrary, four people including Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Waters, and Qin Lin stood far away from the penalty arc and stood very neatly.
They formed a row, like a human wall in a free kick...
"Hey, the Flash Star players are standing on the line of the penalty area... What are they going to do? Is it Zhao Kangming's set-piece tactic?" The commentator of Anton TV was also confused.
When Poseidon head coach Dallas Matthews saw this on the sidelines, he also frowned. He pointed to the court and asked the assistant coach Ralph Cesar: "What are they doing? What are they doing?"
Why don’t you fight for the top spot in front of the door?”
Cesar could only shake his head: "I don't know, Dallas. I don't know why they did this."
Also confused were the Poseidon players on the court.
Goalkeeper Chen Rensheng was shouting to his teammates to pay attention to marking.
As a result, after he made the arrangements, he discovered that so many of his teammates only needed to mark the opponent's two central defenders. Among the dense crowd in front of him, there were only two star players wearing red jerseys, and the others were all Poseidon players in sky blue jerseys.
Players!
What about the other Flash Star players?
He raised his head and looked through the dense crowd in front of him, past the mountains of heads, and saw a "human wall" composed of four star players on the edge of the penalty area...
"What the hell..." Before he could finish the curse words, Zhang Qinghuan had already taken the corner kick in the corner flag area!
He reflexively wanted to guard against the header from the Star center back.
As a result, the football was not passed to the goal, but went straight to the penalty area of the penalty area!
This is a ground ball rolling quickly against the turf.
With all the Poseidon defensive players attracted to the goal by Wang Guangwei and Li Tielin, the area from the penalty kick to the top of the penalty arc is basically empty!
Seeing the football being kicked out, the Poseidon players came to their senses and pounced on the Flash Star players... to be precise, they pounced on Hu Lai, who was running towards the football!
Two people were already planning to use their bodies to block Hu Lai's shot.
I saw Hu Lai swinging his left foot towards the football, as if he was going to shoot directly... But when the football rolled in front of him, he did not do so, but just let the football get between his legs.
past!
One of the Poseidon players had already tackled Hu Lai when he was kicking his foot, intending to use his body to block the shot. As a result, he could only lie on the ground and watch the football pass under Hu Lai's crotch...
It was passed to Chen Xingyi who rushed up immediately!
Chen Xingyi also raised his left foot to shoot directly!
Missed again!
The third shining star player was foreign aid Waters. Because the distance was too close, he had no time to fake a shot. He simply opened his legs to face the rolling football and jumped over it!
After the football penetrated the crotches of three people, it came outside the penalty area.
There, Qin Lin swung his left leg in front of the rolling football...
This time it’s no longer a fake move, because there is no one behind him to miss!
He shot furiously!
The straight left foot hit the football with the instep!
The football flew towards the goal!
Poseidon goalkeeper Chen Faren had been shaken by three false shots in a row and his knees were weak. When he saw Qin Lin's shot, he could only barely jump up to save...
He failed to touch the football.
The football did not hit the goal frame, but flew out of the field at a height slightly higher than the crossbar...
"Ah——!!" Chen Mo, the assistant coach in front of the Flashing Star coach's bench, put his head in his hands, leaned back, and let out a long sigh, feeling extremely regretful.
"Hoo——!!" This was the collective breath of the Poseidon fans in the stands, representing their shock after the disaster!
After landing, Chen Faren looked back at the football that had flown to the runway area, and then turned to look at the Flash Star players.
Qin Lin also looked very regretful. After covering his face with his hands, he did not forget to give Zhang Qinghuan a thumbs up.
"This... what kind of corner kick tactic is this?!" In front of this corner kick, He Feng was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
What kind of corner kick did he just see?
He directly kicked the ground ball near the penalty area, and then three consecutive Flash Star players faked the shot and missed it. After attracting all the defensive attention of the Poseidon team, the ball was passed to Qin Lin at the end, and Qin Lin finally kicked it.
volley...
If Qin Lin hadn't suppressed the shot when he shot, it would have been possible for the ball to go in!
But the problem is that this whole corner kick process makes He Feng feel that there is a strong atmosphere of irregularity...
