When Chen Xingyi returned to his room, he found that the group of people who had just played cards were now waiting for him in his room.
As soon as he saw him coming back, Xia Xiaoyu went up to him and asked, "How are you, Brother Xing? Why is Brother Lin looking for you?"
Everyone else also turned their attention to him.
Surrounded by everyone's eyes, Chen Xingyi didn't know what expression he should make.
He said: "Well, Brother Lin asked me to ask me how I felt about defending Melli..."
This answer confused everyone in the room.
Because it was far beyond everyone's expectations.
During the period when Chen Xingyi was called away by Qin Lin, everyone had no intention of playing cards. They gathered together to guess why Brother Lin called away Chen Xingyi alone.
Guessing, either he was dissatisfied with Chen Xingyi's performance, for example, he didn't score a goal, and criticized him.
Either there is some new offensive tactical task for Chen Xingyi.
In the end, no one expected that the head coach asked Chen Xingyi to talk alone and asked him questions related to defense...
"Why is this? Why do you need Brother Xing to defend Merry? Hey, no... Brother Xing has indeed defended Melli!"
"Yes, yes. In the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, Brother Xing defended quite well..."
Chen Xingyi quickly defended: "It's not bad. I allowed Melli to score a goal, and I almost allowed him to score twice."
"You can't say that, little star. You are a winger at Manchester United. You can temporarily defend Mellie and only allow him to score one goal. It is already very good!" Wang Guangwei, as a defender, has also played against Mellie in club games.
Having played against each other, we know very well how difficult Melli is to guard against.
As soon as he gets the ball, as a defensive player, it doesn't matter if you stretch your feet or not.
If you run with him, you will most likely get rid of him by using the change in rhythm. If you don't run with him... How could you not run with him?!
Vesuvius and the Kings of Madrid met in the Champions League group stage. In these two group matches, Vesuvius lost one and drew one, not taking any advantage.
Melli scored in both group matches.
As the main central defender of Vesuvius, this data obviously cannot explain how successful Wang Guangwei's defense against Melly was.
Therefore, Wang Guangwei has a strong say in this issue.
When everyone was discussing in full swing, Zhang Qinghuan suddenly asked: "Little Xingxing, Brother Lin doesn't want you to defend Melli in the finals, right?"
As soon as he asked this question, all discussions ended, the room returned to silence, and everyone turned to look at Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, Brother Lin didn't tell me about the finals. He just asked me how I felt when I defended Melli..."
After a group of people listened to Chen Xingyi's answer, not only were their doubts not resolved, but they became even more confused.
Just asking?
※※※
"...Although Melli is a right winger in Madrid, because of his playing characteristics, he will often drop back to receive the ball. In this way, his position on the field overlaps with mine, so Munster will consider
Let me defend him..."
"...Actually, it's very difficult for me to defend because I have to chase back from the front again and again. If I don't want to chase back, then I have to wait in the midfield, so I can't participate in the attack. I'm not very
I wanted to give up offense, so I was very tired in that game..."
"Munster chose me to defend Melli. Maybe they thought I was fast and flexible and could trap him. But actually when it came to the game, I wasn't the only one to defend Melli. I was responsible for trapping him, and then
Create opportunities for other teammates. If Melli and I were to have a one-on-one duel, I think it would be difficult for me to guarantee that I could guard him..."
"...Defending Melli is indeed more tiring than ordinary defense. I feel that Melli will always change the rhythm when attacking, with many sudden stops, starts and changes of direction. If you want to keep up with his rhythm,
You have to passively stop, start and change direction, which will increase physical exertion. Anyway, that was how I felt at the time. After that game, I felt that both legs were no longer mine..."
"I made a defensive mistake once... It's not a mistake, it should be a problem of ability. I didn't guard Melli and let him slip away from me. Fortunately, when he passed the ball, Payet was offside, otherwise we would have been offside.
Maybe I won’t make it to the finals... I was really weak at the time, and I felt like I couldn’t keep up with his rhythm..."
Qin Lin and the members of the coaching staff gathered together, listening to the recording played from the mobile phone. These words were all said by Chen Xingyi. When Qin Lin asked Chen Xingyi, he took out his mobile phone and recorded what he said.
I recorded it so that I could listen to it over and over again and extract useful information from it.
"Are you planning to let Chen Xingyi specifically defend Melli in the final?" Assistant coach Ding Gaoyi asked after listening to the recording.
Qin Lin shook his head: "No, letting him defend Meili exclusively will mean that we are giving up an arm. However, Chen Xingyi does have to take on some defensive tasks during the game. Because Meili is here, our left wing will be in trouble during the game.
We were under a lot of pressure, so our offense in the final was mainly launched from the right wing."
Having said this, Qin Lin turned to ask Yuan Bo, the team medical leader: "How is Yuan Da's condition?"
The Chinese team's right back Yuan Da was replaced midway through the match against Brazil.
On the one hand, replacing him was to adjust tactics, but on the other hand, Yuan Da also fought with injuries, which affected his performance.
In the game against Brazil, Yuan Da's injury worsened. After being substituted, he immediately received simple treatment on the bench.
Yuan Bo shook his head and gave Qin Lin a bad answer: "Not too optimistic. I suggest not considering the possibility of him playing."
This answer made the air in the room feel heavier.
Yuan Da is the main right back of the Chinese team. If he cannot participate in the finals, the Chinese team's 442 will basically not be able to win.
At the right back position, in addition to Yuan Da, the Chinese team has two options. One is Sui Sheng, who plays in the domestic Hedong Thunder, and the other is Wang Dong, who plays in the second division San Andre.
There is a gap between the level of the two of them and the main player Yuan Da.
A group of people looked at Qin Lin again, waiting for the head coach to make his decision.
In the eyes of everyone, Qin Lin fell into a long test.
After thinking like this for half a minute, Qin Lin said: "We played 352 in the final..."

"...the two players on the left side of the Chinese team are both better at offense than defense. I think we can make a fuss about this."
Argentina head coach Lucas Feisol said about the Chinese team’s main lineup.
He began to place the chess pieces representing Mellie.
"Although Melly is on the wing, he needs to go to the center more and use his dribbling and passing to instigate the offense. We don't have a fixed center when we attack, but anyone can appear at the center position.
Whether it's Farias, Cantero, or others... use our flexibility to cause trouble for the Chinese team's back line. From the positioning point of view, the position of the three forwards is like this..."
Fissol places the chess pieces on the tactical board.
Cantero is in the centre, Farias is on the left and Melli is on the right.
A discerning person can see the problem with this position at a glance.
Because Cantero mainly played on the right side at Manchester United, the center position was given to Janus Edman.
In the national team, he played as a center forward. Can he play?
"But after the game starts, our forwards must rotate and cannot be fixed in one position. This will increase the difficulty of the Chinese team's defense. When Melly retreats to support, we can even do without a center.
At this time, Cantero can pull to the right and help Melli attack the Chinese team's left defense line. Break through or create threats here.
"Our advantage is that with Melli as the core, we can flexibly rotate when attacking. However, the Chinese team's offensive method is relatively fixed. Their advantage is that Hu's personal ability is too strong..."
After explaining the specific tactical arrangements, Feisol said to his coaching staff:
"I think our focus in the finals should not be on how to prevent Hu from scoring - facts have proven that any coach who wants to prevent Hu from scoring will end badly in the end."
Having said this, Feisol laughed and made a little joke.
"Because the energy of a team is limited, when you put too much energy on Hu, you will make mistakes in other places. So instead of racking your brains to think about how to freeze Hu, it is better to think about how to compare.
The Chinese team scores more goals. Isn't that what football matches are like? Whoever scores more goals wins."
