Chapter 76 Unsatisfactory
"Okay, okay, listen to me!" Chen Shixiong clapped his hands to signal everyone to concentrate, "Today, as usual, control the ball well, and no matter how hard their pressing is, they must stay calm."

The first-team match is about to start. They have been unbeaten for three rounds, and this time they will face the Ludao team. They will definitely use their full strength.

The reserve team game ended a day ago. They defeated their opponents 2:0. Kong Pengyu and Qian Jing scored goals for the team.

It is worth mentioning that in the game, Kong Pengyu first broke the deadlock with his own performance; then, in the next game, he played a beautiful side pass and then assisted Qian Jing to score.

One pass and one shot seems to have become his minimum standard in a game. In several games, he has scored goals and assists.

He seems to have become the reserve team's winning guarantee, always helping the team when the team's offense is lacking.

……

The three foreign aids of Ludao's first team are all from Cameroon. Two are central defenders and one is a defensive midfielder. They have very strong physical fitness and confrontation ability.

The Ludao team's defense they defended is something that many teams cannot easily cut off.

Renault Babu of St. Friedom is a fellow of these three, and his midfielder has also been teammates in Cameroon's national-level team.

In the player tunnel before the game, they had a friendly exchange and exchanged pleasantries about life in China, but this kind of atmosphere will only stay in the player tunnel.

After all, the stadium is a battlefield without gunpowder.

At the beginning of the game, St. Friedom took the lead in entering the state. The continuous victory was a great blow to them. They were very excited and wanted to respond to the support of the fans with their performance.

There are still many fans present today, and the enthusiasm for cheering for the team is still the same as in the first game of the season.

St. Friedom's conduction soon reached the opponent's half. They hadn't found their form when they came up, the formation was not in place, and they were compressed by St. Friedom's offensive.

Xu Wenli continuously transferred the ball to both sides at the front of the penalty area, and then received the ball from both sides and passed it back to the middle.This is their usual routine, passing back and forth on both sides to distract the opponent's attention, and then suddenly changing the rhythm to form an attack.

The first attack came from Xu Wenli's skillful pick pass. When he received the ball from the right, he didn't stop the ball, and picked the ball towards the penalty area with his left foot.

Pu Tingfeng, who was in the penalty area, understood instantly, and turned sideways to the goal. There was no better way to shoot, so he stopped and took advantage of the opportunity to volley and shoot with a side hook!

The ball passed through the armpit of the goalkeeper who took a few steps, and was about to enter the goal, but was blocked!
The alert central defender No. 21 sensed the danger of the ball, rushed to the goal area before the goalkeeper attacked, changed his position in front of the goal along the direction of the ball, and blocked the ball with his body!
"Oh!" The voice of exclamation resounded over the Liberty Arena. It was a pity that the goal that seemed to be scored was blocked in this way.

After a melee, the blocked ball was cleared by the opponent towards St. Friedom's half. They resolved the first wave of St. Friedom's violent offensive.

Gradually, their formation began to take shape. Compared with the 4132 formation of their reserve team, they were a pure 442 formation with a very solid defense.

Zhang Hao in the backcourt walked towards the middle circle with the ball, and instead of passing the ball to the midfielder, he directly passed the ball to Zhou Chenglong on the right.

There is a lot of space in front of Zhou Chenglong. He has speed and flexibility. It is no problem to pass the opponent's defender one-on-one.

However, his state is as bad as in the previous games.

He made some mistakes when he stopped the ball and stopped the ball far.It was because of this small mistake that the other party narrowed the distance with him.

It was also because of this mistake that he became nervous. As soon as he turned around, the ball was intercepted by the opponent, and he immediately organized a counterattack.

That player passed the ball to the feet of the No. 19 midfielder. The Cameroonian midfielder had a wide vision and decisively passed a long pass to the center forward.

But his fellow Cameroonian Renault Babu is not a vegetarian either, he easily won the ball and gave it to Fang Zheng, his midfielder.

The situation in the first half started with St. Friedom's strong offense, but it didn't take long for it to become a scene of evenly matched and mutual offense and defense.

Chen Shixiong has no plans to change players for the time being, and he still plans to stick to the current lineup for a period of time.

He also specially assigned Xu Wenli to take on some breakthrough tasks. Under the current situation, moving forward cannot rely solely on passing.

After more than 20 minutes of dullness in the second half, St. Friedom's offense improved.

Although Chen Shixiong asked Xu Wenli to break through to create a forward distance, but in the first 20 minutes of the second half, the opponent's pressing and fouls made him unable to carry the ball.

Finally, after repeated attempts, his breakthrough dribble took effect.

He boldly walked the left sideline and dribbled the ball forward, fried the balls twice in a row, and passed the opponent's two players who forced to the side.

Immediately afterwards, he began to dribble the ball in the middle.

Facing the "sealed" restricted area, his eyes glimpsed a "window of life".

Xu Wenli was on the left side of the penalty area, and passed a through ball diagonally to the right, which passed through the opponent's defense line like a scalpel, leaving space on the right side.

This sudden pass scared the Ludao team members into a cold sweat, and the goalkeeper rushed out to interfere and destroy the ball.

Zhou Chenglong sprinted with all his strength to catch up with the ball, pushing and shooting without stopping the ball.

The goalkeeper struggled to block the ball out, resolved the crisis, and their goal was immediately calm again.

"Pick, pick." Xu Wenli didn't blame him for wasting his pass, and suggested that Zhou Chenglong choose to lob when facing this kind of ball.

Zhou Chenglong ignored it and walked back silently, feeling a little depressed.

Chen Shixiong saw all this in his eyes, Zhou Chenglong's condition was indeed bad, but his mentality seemed to be the most serious problem.

At the beginning of the season, Zhou Chenglong's performance was unsatisfactory, but Chen Shixiong still had a certain degree of confidence in him, thinking that he was quite satisfactory and had room for improvement.

Chen Shixiong tried to talk to him and guide him, but the result was only to put more pressure on Zhou Chenglong, and his condition did not improve.

As the game progressed, Zhou Chenglong's performance not only did not improve, but became worse and worse after six league rounds had passed.

If things go on like this, it's time for the substitutes to come on.Chen Shixiong thought to himself.

But he looked at the bench, and another thought came to his mind: This person also has the same problem!

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was suddenly mobilized. Xu Wenli made another penetrating pass, which once again opened up the right flank, and this time it also penetrated two layers of defense.

Zhou Chenglong ran towards the penalty area and accelerated. His speed was superior and he was already a yard away.

He adjusts his steps and shoots!
"Oh!" The voice of sighing resounded in the court again, he hit the ball too high!

Chen Shixiong watched the final development of the ball, and the frowning expression on his face immediately changed back to a serious one.

Zhou Chenglong has already wasted several opportunities today. Before the transfer market opened, he wanted to change part of the staffing.
