Chapter 124 The Scavenger

The happy day passed quickly, but this time Ye Xin did not leave in a hurry after Lucas fell asleep.

He sat on the sofa in the living room with Hannah.

"Hannah, can Lucas's situation be cured?" Ye Xin wanted to ask a long time ago, but it was inconvenient for him to say that Lucas was by his side all the time.

"I don't know, I asked my mentor, and he can't help." Hannah shook her head with a downcast expression.

"Sigh..." Ye Xin sighed, he is not a sympathetic person, but when he saw someone like Lucas with his own eyes, he couldn't help but want to help.

"Actually, your presence is the greatest help. Lucas' illness is that he has kept himself closed for many years, and now he has become much more cheerful." Hannah saw through Ye Xin's mind in an instant, and instead of changing her depression just now, she persuaded Ye Xin .

"is it?"

"Yes," Hannah said affirmatively, but there was too much comfort mixed in, like comforting Ye Xin and comforting herself.

But Ye Xin believed it, he nodded vigorously.

"I will come here often in the future, I hope I didn't disturb you"

"Thank you, Ye"

Ye Xin, who went back at night, was naturally teased by Angus. Although he knew about Lucas, no matter how Ye Xin explained it, he still didn't believe it.

Fortunately, Niels is not at home now, otherwise the two will inevitably start telling stories again.

"Uncle Fang, I have already investigated that woman. She is a student of the Department of Psychology at the University of Jena. Both of her parents died a few years ago..." Liang Tao was explaining to Fang Jincheng all the things he had investigated in the past few days. listen.

Fang Jincheng was still sitting by the lake, still playing with his beloved tea set, but his face was only cold.

"Ye Xin went to her house to look like it was for her brother, Lucas..."

"Have you captured everything?" Fang Jincheng raised his hand to stop Liang Tao from continuing to report.

"En." Liang Tao nodded, but then continued, "Uncle Fang, should I send it to Xiao Rou now?"

"Not busy." Fang Jincheng took a sip from his cup.

"A meeting doesn't mean anything. A snake will kill you." After speaking, he glanced at Liang Tao again.

"Xiao Liang, you are in a hurry."

After a day off, Ye Xin started training again, but only Angus accompanied him to the training ground in the past two weeks.

The days passed peacefully, but on the 11th, the entire Jena team received a text message from Niels.

Not even the team doctors in Jena missed it.

"Brothers, remember to watch TV at night!"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, Nils is really a showman, tonight is just a friendly match between Germany and Ukraine, but seeing Nils being so active, it is estimated that he will play in this friendly match.

In fact, even if Niels didn't send this text message, most people would watch this game, it should be said that most Germans would watch it. Although it was just a friendly match, it was still a contest between the national teams.

Of course, Ukraine's strength is a bit weak, but it doesn't affect everyone's enthusiasm.

So after the training, everyone went home and turned on the TV one after another. Even Ye Xin sat in front of the TV for a rare occasion.

Angus also prepared a lot of beer and food, just waiting for the match between Germany and Ukraine.

It's just that 10 minutes have passed since the game, 10 minutes on Tuesday, 10 minutes on Wednesday...

Niels was still sitting on the bench. Although he was shown a few shots on TV and the commentator mentioned him a few times, Joachim Loew didn't let him play.

Since it was a friendly match, the number of substitutions was determined by the two teams, but four of the seven players were replaced, and Niels still did not move.

Ye Xin suddenly felt like laughing, and it was hard for Niels to sit on the bench now. If he was in Jena, he would have started yelling by now.

The first half ended without knowing it, but it is a pity that Niles still did not play.

Luckily Joachim Loew didn't really intend to freeze Nils, who was on the pitch right from the start of the second half.

Only then did Ye Xin watch the game carefully.

Seeing that Ye Xin was watching the game seriously, Angus also made a cameo as a commentator. After all, in the first half, Ye Xin had been focusing on eating, and Angus had no chance to talk to him about football.

"Ukraine's formation is very interesting, 1-2-2-3-2, sweeper defender, two central defenders and two offensive full-backs, very classic."

"Scavenger?" This was the first time Ye Xin had heard the word.

"Ye, you should charge more. Although scavengers are rare now, they were popular for a while back then."

"Oh? Then tell me." Ye Xin became a little interested. Although Niles played, the two teams played softly. It was like an ordinary training warm-up match. Ye Xin found it a bit boring.

Seeing Ye Xin's interest, Angus began to show off his football knowledge.

"Scavenger central defenders are actually similar to central defenders, but their responsibilities are slightly different. Scavengers are typically only responsible for defense and not involved in offense. They do the so-called dirty work on the field. Of course, sweepers It doesn’t have to be a central defender, it can also be a midfielder, and the destructive big foot is basically synonymous with them.”

"They don't have to think about cooperating with the offense. As long as the football reaches his defensive area, destruction is their only goal. Some defenders with strong predictions are simply like sweepers. As long as his defensive area is the same as the no-ball area, so The term scavenger appeared.”

"Oh." Ye Xin nodded half-understood, but he remembered the key word of a guard with good predictions.

"Don't underestimate this kind of formation and style of play. From the 60s to the 90s, basically the whole world used this kind of lagging central defender. At that time, it was really difficult to score goals. 0-0 was commonplace."

"Then why is no one using it now?"

"The offside rule has been revised. If this continues, everyone will stop playing offensive football. With the increase of anti-offside play, the sweeper is not as good as it used to be."

"I see"

"Unexpectedly, Ukraine still retains this classical style of play. I don't know whether to say they are traditional or conservative. Although our German team did not score in the first half, it will be sooner or later."

"Look at Joachim Loew's formation, 4-2-3-1, which is very reasonable and perfectly displayed Germany's offensiveness. It's just that the substitutions were a bit frequent in this game, otherwise the first half Definitely scored a goal.”

Ye Xin looked at Angus in surprise. Angus looked very confident at the moment, as if it was easy for the German team to score goals.
