football era

The group stage played five rounds, and the Bawang team won five out of five games.

There are a total of eight teams in the group, so the opponents of the Bawang team are seven. Now that they have only the last opponent left, it seems that some do not respect the opponent in the sixth round, Heng Yong...

It's just that everyone knows that there is indeed only one remaining opponent of the Bawang team, and that is the Cao Wei team.

After five rounds, the Hengyong team lost three games, won one game, and drew one game. Such results really couldn't put any pressure on the Bawang team.

Relatively speaking, the Caowei team has to defeat the Qinglong team in the sixth round before ushering in the Bawang team. After winning the Liufeng team and the Jinfengdriyu team, if they can't show a good enough level in the Qinglong team, then they probably don't have the confidence to face the Overlord...

This team has attracted a lot of media attention until now. The Cao Wei team is famous in classical football matches. Zheng Qi didn't know it before, but because he didn't pay much attention to these classical football matches. Here, it was just an ordinary amateur game, and the Arino team would mix in and play a game, playing with unfamiliar teammates and opponents, and the test was to test their own judgment and observation skills.

In fact, the Caowei team's reputation in classical football is probably equal to that of Changfeng or Tianhe in the league. They are extremely popular and of an excellent standard. In a group that looks very difficult at first glance.

With the strength of the Cao Wei team, everyone takes it for granted to qualify for the group stage, and in the past two seasons, the Cao Wei team often qualified one or two rounds ahead of schedule, and the other opponents in the group did not wait for the decisive battle with Cao Wei team. Just killed himself in a hurry, there is no suspense at all.

And this year?Under such circumstances, there is still a team that can stand in front of the Cao Wei team in the final round, which is enough to make people feel interested.

Although they have only played five rounds, anyone who has followed this group will know that it should be impossible for the Cao Wei team to maintain the record of qualifying early in the group for three consecutive years.

Although this is a meaningless record, it is a topic that fans of the Cao Wei team have been talking about. Two years ago, the Cao Wei team calmly won five games in a group that was turned upside down. The other teams played against each other. It was a big news at the time, and it became a totem in the hearts of fans of the Cao Wei team.

They thought this record could be kept for a long time, but now they found that this year would stop without warning. Unknowingly, they began to feel unhappy with the Bawang team...

Of course, the Bawang team and their fans really don't care about this.

The game has reached this point, and everyone will look forward to the moment when they enter the knockout round - if the Cao Wei team can be eliminated, then the Overlord team is also qualified to challenge for the championship, right?
That's what Bulldogs fans have come to expect.

In fact, last season, the Bawang team didn't accumulate many old fans. After all, they came all the way, and they had a lot of luck. Fans who like to watch classical football games basically have a good vision, at least at the level of senior fans. In their eyes, their top eight results are not considered to be of much gold content, and the loss to the West Han team was too bad. The fans did not think highly of their top eight results.

The evaluation is not high, so there are not many fans, and this year, although the Overlords have not yet been able to qualify for the group stage, their performance has been praised by countless people.

In the first round of the qualifiers, they defeated last year's runner-up Xihan team. After making it all the way to the group stage, they defeated two of last year's top 32 teams in a row, and stood in front of Caowei team with a record of complete victories—even if they were next The group couldn't show up, and this performance was much better than last year!

In classical football games without much commercialization, such performance is more important than specific results.

All of a sudden, the popularity of the Bawang team exploded, which also gave the players of the Bawang team great vanity.

Although the soaring popularity can not get economic benefits, but for the Overlords players, they usually pay attention to the messages of classical football fans in the media and forums. As contestants, in order to satisfy their own vanity, One of the best ways for them is to search for their own or the team's name to see if there are many comments, whether the comments are good or bad...

In the past, when players of the Bawang team searched, the comments they usually saw were posts such as "rational discussion, whether last year's most misnamed quarter-finals were the Bawang team", and in such posts, those who agree with the poster are definitely accounted for. most of them.

And this year, the situation has begun to reverse!
On many forums, the media and fans have given high praise to the Bawang team's performance this year. When they defeated the West Han team, many people believed that they continued the good luck of last year, but now, it is not the case. No one else judges them that way.

This is a kind of recognition, which is obtained through their personal performance to conquer fans who originally thought they were not very good.

This sense of identity is also something that countless participants in classical football hoped to obtain, and the players of the Bawang team finally obtained it.

At the same time, in the game against the Qinglong team, they gained more than just such recognition!
Although a day has passed since the game, the players of the Bawang team are still thinking about the scene in the second half of the game.

They use smooth offense and running, constantly dealing with the opponent's defense line, and constantly involving the opponent's players to run around. Under this kind of involvement, they can see more opportunities. Almost everyone in the frontcourt There is a chance to complete the shot, making it more difficult for the opponent to defend.

This kind of offensive ability is something they didn't have before - the players of the Bawang team have their own characteristics. When they have a good foundation, they all have their own characteristics. The ability is very good, it's just that they each perform their duties.

Under such circumstances, the Bawang team's offense is very distinctive. However, in many cases, it appears to be relatively rigid. The offense performs its duties step by step. , the two midfielders also took turns to press for assists...

Of course, this kind of attack cannot be said to be without threat, but it seems very stiff and easy to resolve.

This is clear to all.

It's not that they don't want to play more flexibly, but their own characteristics are so distinctive that when they play flexibly, they are not as effective as the current style of play. Such changes will actually lead to a decline in their strength—— It makes people feel powerless.

But in this game, they naturally played that kind of extremely smooth switch attack, and achieved better results than the previous attack!
This discovery made them feel a little ecstatic.

This means that their offense will be even better in the next game, and it will be more difficult to guard against.

Although it is said that both offense and defense are very important in the game, but in the current classical football game, it is actually difficult to keep advancing by relying on defense alone. After all, only offense can win more victories. Now the world football The trend in the altar is to constantly attack rather than constantly defend - this is the same all over the world.

Defense may allow you to take advantage of it sometimes, but in the final analysis, you must have a good offense in order to continue to win.

Because there is no league in classical football now, the annual World Cup qualifiers and the World Cup are the biggest events, and these two games are cup games. It is impossible to score one point for one point. Except for these two games, the other games are basically friendly matches, so it doesn't mean much if you get a draw.

Now the Bawang team has a new offensive method, and it has been proved to be effective. some more.

The second half of the game against the Qinglong team has proved this point. The Bawang team's offense is flexible and changeable, so that the Qinglong team's defense can only be exhausted. Even if February [-] participates in the defense, it cannot stop the Bawang team's offense.

This is a real improvement.

Facing a team like the Cao Wei team, improvement in any aspect is very important, not to mention such a huge improvement in offense, which makes their mood more pleasant.

"In the next game, let's get used to the new tactics and wait for the final round to let the Cao Wei team know how good we are!" Overlord said, waving his fists.

His roar was recognized by all the players of the Bawang team. They even told Zheng Qi that in this game, it is enough to pass the ball in the backcourt. Give them more space and let them try out the new offensive tactics.

"That's no good. If I don't participate, how can I adapt to your new tactics better? You really think I didn't do anything in the first few games." Zheng Qi shook his head and said.

The players of the Bawang team looked at each other, and then realized that Zheng Qi's words really made sense...

In the first few games, he was just not so active on the court, but on both ends of the offense and defense, he still put in his strength, but it was a little more low-key, which made people feel that he really did not work hard on the court.

But is he really powerless?
No matter how stupid the Overlords players were, they wouldn't agree with this question.

"I'm convinced, I'm going to fight Cao Wei next, I'm looking forward to seeing your performance." Overlord said, patting Zheng Qi's shoulder.

"Let's talk about winning Hengyong first." Zheng Qi chuckled.
