Center

Chapter 175 Three consecutive draws after three consecutive victories
Is a center forward who is tall, active in running, has long shots outside the penalty area, and a header in the penalty area, a perfect center forward without weaknesses?

There is only one answer, no.

There can't be a perfect player in the world, unless it's a robot wearing a piece of human skin - as long as it is a human, it will have weaknesses. If it can be done without any weakness in the whole body, I am afraid that this person has already become a fairy, why is he still busy in the world of mortals.In the world of football, the so-called perfect player is nothing more than a weakness that is not easily caught by others.

Does Long Bisheng have any weaknesses?Yes, and many more.

In the No.14 home game against Facinglonni, Naples, which had won three consecutive victories, suddenly seemed to lose their form and played extremely badly. Although Boliciano opened the scoring after receiving Long Bisheng's header at the beginning of the second half, the opponent quickly equalized the score with a counterattack.

In the rest of the time, Naples launched a crazy counterattack, but Long Bisheng, who has performed well recently, encountered tighter marking. Even after he pulled out of the penalty area, there was a defender close to him, leaving him no space for long-range shots. He is very proficient in dribbling, but there is no good way to dribble in other areas-in front of the Italian team's defense, Long Bisheng quickly exposed his biggest flaw.

Long-range shots need space. As a center forward, he is definitely not as wide as a midfielder when he inserts, especially when he pulls out of the penalty area and there is still a defender closely following him-even turning around after getting the ball becomes extremely difficult, not to mention a powerful long-range shot with a huge swing of his legs.

A one-to-one tie with Ficinlonni, the three-game winning streak was terminated, although Naples still ranked first, but the second Bologna has tied their points, just because of the disadvantage of goal difference, Rea has begun to feel the crisis.

After all, Long Bisheng is only a young player. Although he has unique features, after the opponents gradually pay attention to him and understand his technical characteristics, Long Bisheng's role as a "surprise soldier" has almost disappeared. Moreover, several recent opponents have adopted tactics that focus on marking Long Bisheng. Reya feels that he seems to be overusing Long Bisheng.

For young players, it is not advisable to kill or kill with a stick. Similarly, excessive use of young players and no opportunities for young players are also not good for the growth of young players.

So in the No.15 away game against Cesina, Rhea put Long Bisheng on the bench and started with Bucky, who had been on the bench for four rounds.

Bucky, who failed to start for four consecutive games, performed very hard on the court, and his running in the frontcourt was also quite active. In the first half, he relied on an active frontcourt steal. Dara Bona drove straight in and opened the deadlock for Naples first.

But in the following game, Bucky, who was eager to prove his strength with a goal, wasted two good opportunities in a row. Once he was eager to shoot and didn't pass the ball to Carajo, who was in a better position. As a result, his shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Naples was punished for wasting two good chances. Before the end of the first half, Cesina equalized the score with a beautiful long shot from outside the penalty area.

In the second half, Naples once again fell into a vicious circle where there was a lot of offense in the whole game, but they could only score one goal. Carayo hit the goal post again with two bounded shots. Bucky also got a single chance, but his weak shot flew directly into the goalkeeper's arms. On the contrary, it was Cesina's counterattack that was impressive. Five rounds unbeaten for Boulevard...

In the No.15 round, Naples was booed by the fans at home. In this game, facing the mid-range team Mantua, Naples played extremely badly again. There was no way to guarantee a goal. Bucky played for 10 minutes, but most of the time he was like a headless chicken. Rhea, who had hoped for him, was disappointed.

Zero to zero, the defense led by Chu Ran has been doing better and better recently, but the collective misfire on the forward line has made Reiya feel extremely bad. Counting this game, Naples has scored no more than one goal in fourteen rounds of the league. Or if they advance directly as the top two, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even qualify for a play-off!
******************************************
"Damn reporter!"

It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in a certain room of the Naples Club office building. Reya angrily threw a stack of newspapers on the table. He was too busy to read the newspapers for the past week or two. As a result, he almost blew his lungs when he read them today—these reporters are too exaggerated, right?

"No more than one goal in fourteen league rounds, is the second luxury striker in Serie B not worthy of its name? "

Laurentiis pissed, with serious consequences - Rea to be sacked for winter break? "

"Holding the second best card in Serie B but losing again and again-a certain player: Rea does not have the strength to coach in Serie B"

"This season's transfer investment is the highest in Serie B, and the points are fifth - Laurentiis, money is not spent like this! "

……

There are so many headlines like this, it looks like Naples is on the verge of relegation, Rea will be relegated tomorrow, and Rea clearly knows that although the team's situation is not good now, the morale of the players in the team is still very high, and Laurentiis still trusts him. Tusdo conceded two goals, the problem is the offense - Naples only scored [-] goals in [-] rounds, an average of only a little more than one per game. If it weren't for the first round of the league with Treviso. If you get four goals, Naples' offense can't even guarantee one goal per game - such a poor scoring rate is obviously not what a team that aims to upgrade should have.

Rea sighed, and there are two days before the home game against Brescia. This game is undoubtedly a tough one. Since Brescia was relegated last season, they have been in Serie B for a year.

Rea rubbed his temples, but he still couldn't think of a way to improve his offensive efficiency. He thought there should be no problem with tactics, but several center forwards in the team didn't show the effect he expected. Needless to say, Bucky is now starting to wonder how Bucky scored 28 goals last season and won the top scorer in Serie B. His performance on the field was a complete mess. Well, after two months of injury, he couldn’t play without a period of recovery training. Long Bisheng once showed a state that surprised Rhea and all the Neapolitans, but after other opponents gradually became familiar with him, his performance also began to calm down. How can a team’s center play a wonderful game if it doesn’t always score goals?

Looking at the watch, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Reya stood up, glanced at the newspaper on the table in disgust, then turned and walked out of the office.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. The boss gave me enough time, and I should also give more time to the players. Rhea has always believed that as long as these players under him can play their due strength, entering Serie A is definitely only a matter of time!
As for the nonsense of those reporters, let them continue their nonsense. Journalists are like this. They will always publish some sensational reports for the sake of newspaper sales. As long as they can lead the team to two wonderful victories, these reporters will immediately sing their praises—let me slap them hard with my actions!
