World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 123 Elite Tactics
"Coach Zeng, is this kid Li Yi doing his best?"

"Hahahahaha~~~"

Seeing Li Yi's wonderful goals played back on the big screen, Chen Jingang was so happy from ear to ear.

After Li Yi received Shen Han's through ball, Chen Jingang clenched his fists.

After two consecutive Marseille rounds, Chen Jingang's hand bones also rang twice in a row.

It wasn't until the ball was swept into the net by Li Yi that Chen Jingang opened his hands and let out the excitement he had accumulated for a long time.

The 40-year-old former international footballer is now wrapping his arms around Zeng Zheng's neck like a kid who got candy.

"Boss Zeng, Boss Zeng, did you see that?"

Li Yi ran to Zeng Zheng in one breath.

"Horse, Marseille maneuver, I made a Marseille maneuver!"

At this moment, what Li Yi thought about was not scoring goals, but the "task" Zeng Zheng assigned him before the game.

What counts as his N goals?
The World Youth Championship is more important!

"Okay, I saw it, you go back." Zeng Zheng waved his hand.

"The game is not over yet, play well!"

"Strive for a few more!"

After being affirmed by Zeng Zheng, Li Yi nodded fiercely, turned around and ran back to the field immediately.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid Li Yi is amazing! This Marseille maneuver can be done as soon as it is said, and it can be done twice!"

"Hmph, don't force him, this kid probably doesn't know his potential is so great!"

"It has to be Coach Zeng! Really calm! The players scored such a beautiful goal without any reaction, unlike the few of us who are as excited as monkeys."

Zeng Zheng was on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, looking indifferent under the sunglasses.

Li Yi's Bengfu maneuver is really beautiful, but he has long been mentally prepared.

The reason for assigning such a wonderful task to Li Yi is entirely because of his BUFF for the Chinese youth team.

[National Youth Team: tacit understanding 78%]

[Overall status: high morale]

[Weather in Chiang Mai, Thailand: Sunny; Temperature: 20-29 degrees Celsius]

[Team BUFF1: National Youth Team 1]

[National Youth Team 1: A dribbling player who has no teammates within three meters has a certain chance to use fancy tricks]

【Team BUFF2: National Youth Team 2】

[National Youth Team 2: Forward players have a certain chance to form a shot after passing the opponent with a fancy dribble]

【Team BUFF3: China Youth Team 3】

[National Youth Team 3: Enhance the personal breakthrough ability of all players]

[Team BUFF4: National Youth Team 4]

[National Youth Team 4: Enhance the team's defensive offensive and defensive conversion speed]

[Team BUFF5: XXX]

[Team Tactics: Defensive Counterattack, Passing with One Foot]

[Defensive counterattack LV1: Improve the ability of all players to execute defensive counterattack]

[One-kick pass LV1: Improve the speed of all team members' one-kick pass]

Overall defense + individual offense is all the preparations Zeng Zheng has made for the small days.

The only thing Zeng Zheng didn't expect was that Li Yi directly "upgraded" the Marseille roundabout to the Bangfu roundabout.

In the stands, the fans talked a lot.

With Li Yi's goal, the fans stopped arguing about the China Youth Team and only knew about defense.

Everyone gave thumbs up and praised Zeng Zheng for his good command.

"It has to be Coach Zeng! Even if the national team is able to lead the team, how about leading these brats?"

"Yeah, these little bastards should study hard! Take half of Coach Zeng's tactics, and it's enough to deal with the little RB!"

"Worthy of being a 'magical coach', he broke through the little days in one fell swoop!"

Although the fans are boasting, in fact, in the opening 20 minutes, the China Youth Team took the ball very few times.

The ball possession rate is less than 15%.

But in the only two attacks, one hit the post and one scored.

Such a high counterattack efficiency has never been seen by these self-proclaimed national football fans for many years.

"Mr. Omar, the striker of the Chinese team is too strong."

"Do we have to be man-to-man?" Qingyun Rongchun reminded in a low voice.

Just like what Kato Xiao explained.

This is a goal of individual heroism.

But is this just Li Yi's solo show?
Troussier shook his head and pointed to the two wings of the China Youth Team.

"Man-to-man is useless!"

"We have to cut these off at the source!"

"Mr. Omar, I don't understand, what the hell is this"

Facing the little day coach who was seriously asking for advice, Troussier did not hide it.

"We have already seen Zeng's defensive tactics. In the 30-meter area, only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed!"

"And the Chinese team's two counterattacks also exposed the offensive methods that were arranged."

"It's also a defensive counterattack, but this time Zeng's offensive arrangement is different from that against South Africa in the World Cup."

"In the World Cup, his counterattack goal is to use the full-backs to get in, resulting in a situation where the frontcourt plays more and less in a short period of time."

"But in today's game, his counterattack goal is to fully highlight his personal ability!"

"Because the defensive formation is too tight, only a few players can rush to the frontcourt at the moment of counterattack."

"But the few players who can rush forward are all elites!"

"If my guess is correct, Zeng's idea is to use one pass to send the ball to the front player's feet as quickly as possible."

"Then give full play to the player's personal ability, make breakthroughs or shoot directly in a short period of time."

After the consultant's translation, Qingyun Eijun kept nodding his head.

At the end, Qingyun Rongchun hesitated and said:
"Why did you dare to use such a style of play? Could it be that you looked down on our defenders?"

"Mr. Omar, I remember you said before that our players are on par with the Chinese team, right?"

When asked this sentence, Qingyun Rongchun was obviously a little anxious.

He can freely admit his shortcomings.

But when it comes to the fact that his players are not as good as the Chinese players, he is still not reconciled.

"If the striker doesn't have the ability to hit two, how about being a striker?" Zeng Zheng curled his lips.

"That's right, but, but" Chen Jingang swallowed, and asked the question anyway, "But it feels like this is not conducive to the overall development of the team!"

Overall team development?

Zeng Zheng sighed.

"Coach Chen, please act urgently."

"What do you mean?"

"I have been in contact with this Chinese youth team for too short a time. I don't know most of the people on the team, and the training they have received since childhood is not so formal."

"To be fair, from the perspective of overall technology, we are not as good as the other side."

When Zeng Zheng said something, Chen Jingang, Li Hui and others shook their heads.

Why can't they see it?
People like Li Yi, Li Yan, and Shen Han already had top-notch skills in the team.

But even when they catch the ball, their feet are out of shape, resulting in missed stops.

For this alone, all the team members of Little Days are above the passing line.

"If you are not good enough, you can practice slowly, but since the competition has started, we have to think of other ways to win the opponent."

Zeng Zheng continued to explain, "The disadvantages of the Xiaotian players are still obvious."

"Height, weight, strength, and speed are not as good as us."

"Since that's the case, why do you have to go far away and fight for the ball with them?"

"If you have an advantage in heading, you'll keep hitting set-pieces; if you have an advantage in speed, you'll keep hitting him; if you have an advantage in body, you'll hit him until he doesn't even know his mother."

"There is no perfect tactic."

"A tactic that can restrain the opponent is a good tactic!"

"It's still the same sentence, act in a hurry!"

"When our domestic youth training ability improves, we can use other methods to defeat our opponents."

After hearing Zeng Zheng's explanation, Chen Jingang and others bowed their heads and remained silent.

All the coaches know that this kind of situation will not last long if you rely on your body alone to win a small life.

ten years?five years?
Maybe three years later, when Xiao Zizi's body grows up, this trick will completely fail.

Doing a good job in youth training is the last word!

Li Yi's solo show completely stumped the Riqing team.

While the offense was slow to start, the defense was bombarded one after another by the opponent's personal heroism.

At the end of the first half, the possession rate of the Japanese youth team continued to decline, and the number of shots of the Chinese youth team continued to increase.

In the 44th minute, it was Li Yi's personal performance in the penalty area that caused chaos in front of the Japanese youth team.

After three consecutive supplementary shots were blocked by his teammates, Teshima Kazuki finally found a chance, turned around and cleared the ball out of the penalty area with a big kick.

Just wanted to catch my breath.

But found that Wang Liang, who was following from outside the penalty area, faced the ball in the air and directly followed with a volley shot.

With a "whoosh", the ball whizzed by.

Enomoto was also unable to make a save, and the ball crashed into the Japanese youth team's net again.

During the intermission, the Riqing team returned to the locker room with a two-goal disadvantage.

"KESOU"

"Boom!"

Upon entering the room, Tatsuya Enomoto's gloves were thrown on the ground.

Riqing's goalkeeper slammed his bare fist on the floor hard.

"Obviously we were still attacking a second ago."

"But in the blink of an eye, the opponent scored a goal."

"I am sorry for everyone's trust!"

"It's hard to come here with everyone's expectations"

"Is my level only a little bit?"

Punch after punch, Enomoto also kept pounding the ground.

Seeing this, the other teammates couldn't help lowering their heads.

They are so embarrassing!
Just when Enomoto raised his fist again, one hand tightly held his wrist.

Before Enomoto could react, Shinji Ono slapped his mouth with his other hand.

"Snapped!"

"How can it be repaired!!!"

"Don't give up easily, you bastard!"

"What do you think of our hard work so far?"

"It's not your responsibility to lose the ball!"

"Why do you want to carry it on your shoulders alone?"

"Give up now, have you forgotten our oath to defeat the Chinese team? Have you forgotten your dream of surpassing the Chinese team?"

Looking at Shinji Ono with an angry expression on his face, Enomoto couldn't help it anymore, tears blurred his eyes.

"Captain, I."

"Players, there are 45 minutes left in the second half!" Shinji Ono said loudly.

"We still have a chance!"

"Don't give up easily, bastards!"

Just then, Troussier and Kiyomo Eijun walked into the locker room.

"Coach, coach!"

"Use that! Use that!" Ono Shinji rushed forward, grabbing Kiyomo Eijun's arm.

"Please give the order, coach!"

Seeing the players in the room full of anticipation, Qingyun Rongchun looked serious.

"No, it's not yet time!"

"Coach, if you don't use that, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

"That won't work either, your physical fitness can't hold on at all!" Qingyun Rongchun continued to shake his head.

"Coach, I can do it!"

"Coach, I can do it too!"

"Coach, please give the order! I will do it even if I risk my life!"

Looking at the members of the Little Days who were full of petitions in the room, Troussier sighed softly after being interpreted by the consultant.

"Players, you have done a good job to get here."

"Whether we win or lose, we can go to the Youth Championship next year."

"You don't have to work so hard."

Troussier's words did not get the approval of the Little Days players.

Ono Shinji stood up and said loudly: "But coach, in the World Youth Championship, it will be very difficult for us to play against the Chinese team again!"

Shinji Ono was right.

If you want to play against the Chinese youth team again in the World Youth Championship, the group must qualify as a prerequisite, and may even enter the semi-finals.

This is definitely a difficult stage for the two Asian teams.

"Coach, we have been training hard for so many years, and we don't want to lose to the Chinese team anymore!"

"Yes, coach, let's give it a go!"

Seeing that the team members were increasingly "not listening to management", Qingyun Rongchun let out a loud roar.

"idiot!"

"Bullshit!"

"Do you want to rebel?"

"Does the game follow you or the coach?"

"Go back to your seat and sit down."

"How to play in the second half, everything is arranged by Mr. Omar!"

"Ono, what are you waiting for? Return to your position soon?!"

Shinji Ono, who was named, bit his lip unwillingly and nodded.

At this moment, Troussier lightly tapped the small blackboard.

"Players, let me tell you about the tactics for the second half."

"If this trick doesn't work, I will consider agreeing to your request."
