ball at foot

The team is in terrible shape.

After losing the lead, Zhao Yaning began to realize this problem.

When the Chinese team was in the lead, they did not have enough momentum to expand the fruits of victory, but flinched because they wanted to maintain the situation.And after falling behind, he became flustered all of a sudden and lost control of the overall situation. Although there were still many opportunities to get the ball, he played more flustered and fearful, which caused most of his movements to deform, and it was fundamentally impossible to form an effective offense and defense. .

This is not the situation that a strong team should have.Zhao Yaning remembered that when he was in Ajaccio, if the team showed signs of ecstasy, he would be scolded by the coach’s pressure and dare not neglect his duties again.After the team takes the lead, everyone will encourage and cheer each other up, so as to maintain a high fighting spirit.In Zhao Yaning’s view, these things seem to be taken for granted, but now looking at the national team, he realizes how big his mistakes are: Although Ajaccio is not strong, it is the champion of the French second division. team.The championship team may not have excellent technology, strong body, outstanding tactics, and big-name stars, but some things cannot be without.

Indomitable willpower, courageous sense of struggle, and impeccable unity and progress. [

These things cannot be found in the Chinese team.Although the strength of this Chinese team is not weak, compared with Costa Rica, it is weaker in physical strength and not aggressive enough to fight, but Costa Rica's fighting spirit and willpower are much stronger than the Chinese team.

Costa Rica is not much better than China, but their mentality and fighting spirit are much better.Firstly, it is the first time for Chinese players to play such an important international competition, so it is inevitable to play nervous and restrained. Secondly, it is also because the competition involves not only the honor and victory of the team, but also too much money and reputation. After the nine games, the players of the Chinese team will inevitably think and worry when playing football. With such a mentality, how much can their original technical level be brought into play?

The Chinese team lost in mentality.From the very beginning, the Football Association underestimated the enemy. They thought carelessly that the Chinese team could beat Costa Rica, and even put forward the unrealistic slogan of striving for the second place in the group.Zhao Yaning’s goal further promoted the idea of ​​​​underestimating the enemy. The interests behind this goal exposed the discord and conservatism of the Chinese team, and Costa Rica’s consecutive goals within 5 minutes reversed the situation. , thus completely changing the mental state of the two teams.The Chinese team was almost stunned and completely lost the will to resist for a while.

At this time, what should I do to change this situation.

Zhao Yaning thought so in his heart, but he didn’t know what to do.

If he was in the club and was scored consecutively, captain Colin would definitely scold him.But here, the captain of the national team is still comforting the defenders.Zhao Yaning felt that he should shout a few words to arouse their fighting spirit, but Zhao Yaning himself knew that he did not have the status to shout out in the national team. If he really shouted twice, I am afraid the result would be counterproductive.If he aroused the contradictions of the national team, it would be difficult to handle.

But what should I do?

After all, Zhao Yaning only has one, and he has not played professional football for a long time.He is not a natural leader on the court. He has an introverted and dull personality, and he has always done his own job well to complete the task.In such a situation, no one stood up to encourage his teammates. This was the first time he encountered him. Although he wanted to do something, he really didn't know where to start.

Well, now if I can muster up the strength to fight back, I should be able to boost my morale a little bit.

The coach obviously also saw the need to fight back.He asked Dazhen to replace Yang Xi, and at the same time asked Yu Genwei to replace Fan Zhiyi.The forward line was replaced by a tall header forward, suspected to be because China's header advantage is more obvious, and the practice of replacing a forward with a defender is obviously ready to fight hard.

This made Zhao Yaning a little excited. He is an offensive player after all. In this game, his defensive tasks were not performed very well, but when it comes to offense, he is not afraid of anyone.

Soon, the ball was at his feet.At the same time that Zhao Yaning caught the ball with his back, the opponent’s defender also rushed over. Zhao Yaning intentionally waited for his counterattack, and suddenly hooked the ball with his left foot, bypassed his right foot, and flicked forward lightly. Lost the opponent's defender.

Toss the ox tail.

Zhao Yaning's skills have always been strong, but even so, if such a skill is done at high speed, he can't guarantee the success rate.But in a static state, such skills are not difficult, especially Zhao Yaning's explosive power and flexibility are very good, and it is naturally very easy to pass the opponent.

But Costa Rica's defense did not depend on one person.The second person's supplementary defense was right in front of him, and the movement of the first person who was passed was not too big. Even if he adjusted his pace, he immediately followed.

But even so, the time it took for him to turn around still gave Zhao Yaning plenty of space.Zhao Yaning flicked the ball to the left, accelerated suddenly, and used the accelerated change to throw away the opponent.

This surprised the opponent.Zhao Yaning was able to explode at such a speed, which was beyond their expectations.It is really shocking to be able to accelerate so much when the physical strength is greatly exhausted in the 10 minutes of the second half.

What is even more surprising is his choice of route.He chose to play closer to the center. In this way, it was tantamount to directly attacking the back line. Could it be that he wanted to do it himself?

Zhao Yaning’s choice of breakthrough route was good. His position had already thrown off the range of movement of the opponent’s midfielder. Difficult, so simply pursue physical contact directly.If it is best to block Zhao Yaning’s speed by physical contact, then the defensive players behind Zhao Yaning can keep up and stop him. [

No matter how bad it is, the middle road must be blocked and he should be driven to the side road.

The person in front has already got stuck, and Zhao Yaning understands that if he changes direction, he will be driven to the side by him and lose his chance.And if he slows down, he will come closer, even if it is a foul, he will pursue physical contact, and will not give him a chance to break through with the ball.

At this time, cooperation is needed.

Zhao Yaning's speed slowed down, and the opponent's defender immediately rushed forward.And at the moment when the opponent was bullying, Zhao Yaning suddenly passed the ball out with a kick, and this pass went directly to Costa Rica’s entire defense line. Shot the ball into the goal!

In!Just as Zhao Yaning was about to cheer, he heard a piercing whistle.

Offside.

Zhao Yaning sighed, but he was not particularly disappointed.When he himself passed the ball just now, he didn't have much confidence.His passing ability is not strong, especially in this high-speed state, it is not his strong point to accurately aim at an open space and pass the through ball.Although he sent the ball, he didn't know what the specific effect would be. He didn't see Dazhen's position very clearly just now. After sending the kick, although he was offside, he could accept it.

At least the effect he wanted was achieved.The Chinese team has raised some morale a little because of this ball.

"They are also tired, and everyone can't run, so it's not certain who can win." Zhao Yaning shouted at his teammates on the national team, "We can win!"

Everyone on the court cast their eyes on him one after another, but no one said anything.Although Zhao Yaning performed well just now, it is still impossible for a rookie who has just joined the team to command the old players with one outstanding performance.The people on the field are all veterans who have played football for many years. Zhao Yaning does not have the ability to change them with a few words.

"Come on again." Zhao Yaning looked at them and cheered himself up.

But after this time, the Chinese team's offensive has indeed changed.And the range of activities this year has also extended from the original center line to the restricted area.He is now receiving more attention. Obviously, the opponent also understands that Zhao Yaning is the most powerful breakthrough point for the Chinese team on the field. He has the ability to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation.

Zhao Yaning also knew that he was being marked.The Costa Ricans always commit fouls recklessly, which makes Zhao Yaning very uncomfortable.He doesn't have to worry about this in the league, but the special nature of the cup makes Costa Rica not care about taking cards, so Zhao Yaning has a lot of trouble getting the ball.He can't always come across such good opportunities just now.

So... Zhao Yaning suddenly became courageous, maybe, I tried to think in the middle, relying on ball movement and cooperation with the opponent to disrupt the opponent's defense?

Mid lane is king.This is something anyone who plays football knows.When Zhao Yaning was in France, the coach did not allow him to move closer to the middle, because the middle was more dangerous, easily injured, and it was more difficult to perform at a high level, which easily frustrated a person's self-confidence.But now, Zhao Yaning felt that he should go there.

Against a team like Costa Rica, even if I got to the middle, it wouldn't be difficult to break through, right?And if you go to the middle, you can participate in the passing and receiving cooperation in the middle. You just made a good pass, which has already created a threat. If you go to the middle, even if you are the ball, you can also construct some threat?

Should I try it?
