Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 40
After a desperate defense, Yan Feng stopped on the spot and gasped deeply.

"I took the exam and only played for more than 30 minutes. Why are you so tired?" Yan Feng was a little puzzled, and turned to look at the other teammates, all of them were panting, even Lin Fan was no exception.

"What's going on? Did everyone eat the wrong thing today? Is everyone so weak?" Yan Feng asked Lin Fan.

"No, Brother Feng. The main reason is that we were pressed and beaten today, and we were exhausted. During this period, the Zhongneng team was basically attacking, and we could only defend passively. You must know that in football games, defense is often more important than offense. Put in more energy and consume more energy." Lin Fan explained.

"No wonder, I said why I feel more tired than usual today! The Zhongneng team now has the initiative, and we can only passively defend. It's a bit mysterious to go on like this!" Yan Feng is still out of breath.

"That's right. I'm here again!" Lin Fan was about to say something when he saw that the Zhongneng team had already attacked halftime, so he hurried forward to defend.

"I'll take the test, it's really terrible!" Yan Feng cursed secretly, and hurriedly ran to the sidewalk.As soon as Lin Fan rushed forward, Wang Jun of the Zhongneng team immediately passed the ball to Mao Jianqing on the wing.His side teammates couldn't defend against Mao Jianqing at all, so Yan Feng had to quickly go to protect his back.

Yan Feng had just ran over and hadn't stood still. Mao Jianqing didn't do it alone this time, but quickly passed the ball to Song Bo in the middle.Running away again in vain, Yan Feng almost couldn't catch his breath in his heart.

After Song Bo received the ball, he made a long pass to Wang Xiufu on the other side.Not to mention, Song Bo is really worthy of the title of Xiao Shensi. He is very good at free kicks and he is also very accurate in long passes.On the other side, Wang Xiufu unloaded the ball very comfortably.

In fact, at this time, even the full-backs of the Shenzhen team returned to their own half to participate in the defense, but Wang Xiufu got rid of it with a quick acceleration.Wang Xiufu, who was dribbling the ball quickly, changed direction and passed the Shenzhen team's full-back.Fortunately, Lin Fan had rushed over quickly and followed him.

The Zhongneng team's two forwards, Castillo and Danalah, have been running in front of the penalty area, which made the Shenzhen team's central defender follow closely and dare not go to defend.In desperation, Lin Fan could only run back to defend with all his strength.

And Yan Feng also ran back to the defense zone in the middle without stopping, and didn't even have a chance to stop and take a break to catch his breath.He had no choice but to make up for the loophole in the middle lane left by Lin Feng after he went to defend against Wang Xiufu.

Facing Lin Fan's follow-up defense, Wang Xiufu changed direction again, pulled out space, and then quickly passed the ball to Danalah in the middle.After taking the ball, Danalah leaned against the central defender of the Shenzhen team, pulled the ball and turned around to create a gap.In fact, this gap was filled by the Shenzhen team's central defender in less than a second, but this second was enough for Danalah to take a long shot.

"Bang!" The ball flew away with a sound, and then came out of the post.This ball looks fast and powerful, and it is a very high-quality shot.However, Danalage seems to have forgotten to bring his shooting boots today, leaving Danalage with pity and frustration on his face.

Danalah was holding his head in frustration that he missed the goal, but the players of the Shenzhen team couldn't be happier.Although the goal was not scored, no one can guarantee that the Shenzhen team will have such good luck if it comes a few more times.What's even more helpless is that the current Shenzhen team can't find a way to deal with it.This makes the players of the Shenzhen team feel a stone in their hearts.

"It's so dangerous, it was almost scored again." Lin Fan gasped and said with lingering fear.

"Huh~huh~ let me catch my breath first." Yan Feng panted heavily. Just now he first went to the side to help defend, then immediately ran back to the middle to make up for it, and then returned to the penalty area to defend with all his strength.Sprinting with all his strength, Yan Feng felt that his chest was about to explode.If you don't give me some time to catch my breath, I might faint due to lack of oxygen.

"Playing like this is too tiring, and the opponent may score a goal every minute. You have to think of a way."

"Phew~ I think so too. But I can't change it when I'm being beaten passively. I don't know if the coach can do anything about it?" Lin Fan was still panting, but he couldn't figure it out as his head was still in a state of hypoxia. What a good way, I have to pin my hopes on the head coach Li Yi on the sidelines.

"The coach should be able to find a solution!?" Yan Feng followed Lin Fan and looked at the emperor on the sidelines.

And Emperor Li Yi on the sidelines was frowning deeply, with an anxious expression on his face.The emperor paced back and forth, thinking about countermeasures in his heart. "The biggest problem for the team now is that the two wings can't defend at all, which drags down the defense of the entire team. And the team's offense can't go up. If this continues, it will be a dead end. One-on-one between the two wings is impossible. It doesn't work, it can only be made up by numbers, and now it can only pull the two wingers back to defend. But in this way, Wang Zihua and Fei Yu in the frontcourt are alone, which is tantamount to Abandoned the attack."

"Now the team has only two options, either to give up the offense and defend with all our strength; or to strengthen the offense. It is said that the offense is the best defense. If the offense can be used to suppress the Zhongneng team, this game is still worth playing. "Thinking of this, the emperor turned his head to look at the latent substitute seat.

There are only two people on the bench that can be used now, Wei Chao and Zhou Li.Wei Chao is a striker, and his ability is still a long way from being able to change the situation of the battle.As for Zhou Li, even though he can play from the front and back.But if he plays the midfielder, he is not necessarily better than Fei Yu, but if he plays the midfielder, his speed and defensive ability are estimated to be even worse.

Zhou Lizai, who was sitting on the latent bench, was so excited when he saw the emperor looking at him. "It's up to me in the end! Even that amateur sparring partner wants to grab my position? I just know how to run around and make fouls on the field. How can I use my skills?"

Zhou Li was full of joy, thinking that the emperor was going to replace him, and looked at the emperor expectantly.Unexpectedly, the emperor just glanced at it, then turned around and said nothing.This made Zhou Li hit hard.

"It seems that this can only be the case. Let's defend with all our strength and survive the first half." Thinking of this, the emperor immediately yelled at the field to direct the team to change their formation and tactics.

And just when the emperor commanded the team to adjust, the Zhongneng team once again launched an attack from the side.

It also broke through the Shenzhen team's defense from the side, but this time it was Mao Jianqing.His speed was obviously faster than that of Wang Xiufu, so Yan Feng had no time to make up for it and had to go from the middle to the restricted area for reinforcements.

Facing the center back of the Shenzhen team's supplementary defense, Mao Jianqing did not do it alone, but crossed to Danalah in the middle.

Another central defender of the Shenzhen team had no choice but to follow Danalah to prevent him from shooting directly or breaking into the penalty area.Unexpectedly, Danalah did not stop the ball this time, but missed the ball.

"Dangerous!" Yan Feng, who was rushing to the restricted area with all his strength, immediately realized that it was not good.The defensive player who was originally in the middle was pulled away by Danalage, revealing Castillo who was unguarded, and in front of him was a gap facing the goal.

Yan Feng didn't have time to think about it, and even used his breastfeeding power, his speed suddenly increased, and then he threw himself out.A very clean slide, put Castillo on the ground.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and ran over, took out a card from his pocket, and gave Yan Feng a yellow card.

"Referee, this ball should be given a red card!"

"It was a red card, it was a bad tackle."

`` `` ``
Several players from the Zhongneng team gathered around and complained to the referee, hoping that the referee would give Yan Feng a red card.It's a pity that a football game is not a basketball game. As long as the referee makes a penalty, no matter how reasonable your words are, it will not change.

Yan Feng got up from the ground and walked away silently. When the referee drew out the card just now, he thought it would be a red card.Unexpectedly, the referee would show mercy, Yan Feng shouted luck in his heart.

When Yan Feng fell to the ground, he was already mentally prepared to be sent off.This time Yan Feng had to foul. If he had hesitated a little bit about the ball just now, it might have resulted in a goal.

Castillo, who is unguarded, will pose a huge threat whether he shoots directly or drives into the penalty area.If it is a shot, the distance of one or two steps in front of the penalty area is not considered a long shot; if it is brought in, even if Yan Feng can follow up with speed, he can still kick it easily.So the best option is to stop him from doing anything before the penalty area.

The emperor also appreciated Yan Feng's foul this time.This is not Yan Feng's problem, he is just paying for the team's poor strength.

Of course, Zhou Li was also dissatisfied with Yan Feng's foul, besides the Zhongneng team.

"Garbage, you know it's a foul. If I went up, it wouldn't be like this at all."

Zhou Li cursed secretly in his heart, he seemed to have forgotten that he was dissatisfied, and with his speed, he probably had no chance of fouling.

On the court, Yan Feng and his teammates lined up a wall in the penalty area.This time the free kick was a little before the penalty area, and the threat is still great.When Yan Feng, who was lined up in the crowd, saw Song Bo standing in front of the ball, his scalp went numb, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

This guy Song Bo is called Little Shensi, and that free kick was very powerful.This is trouble!

And the fact was just like Yan Feng's premonition, after two steps, Song Bo kicked a curved ball with a very sharp angle, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.The speed of this ball is very fast, and the angle is good, so that the goalkeeper of the Shenzhen team can't catch it even if he tries his best.

The ball went in!A world-class free kick scored.

Song Bo ran wildly excitedly, then jumped up and punched, roaring towards the audience.And there was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Yan Feng stared at the ball in the goal with a dejected expression, feeling unspeakable sadness and self-blame in his heart.This goal has a lot to do with me. It was a free kick caused by my own foul.He was watching the ball pass over his head and into the goal in front of his own eyes.This kind of goal conceded by himself made him blame himself extremely, and felt sorry for the team and teammates.

"Brother Feng, you are not to blame for this ball. You have done your best, and the foul is a last resort. Now that you have been scored by a free kick, there is nothing you can do about it. The responsibility is not on you." Lin Fan looked sad when he saw Yan Feng , understood his feelings very well, and hurried over to comfort him.

Yan Feng nodded, but he still blamed himself.If I were more capable, maybe there would be no such fouls, and there would be no such conceded goals.

"Garbage is rubbish, and it will only foul. Is it okay now? It caused the goal to be conceded." Zhou Li blamed Yan Feng for conceding the goal in his heart.

Zhou Li looked at the emperor, he thought that the conceded goal should make the emperor very angry, and he will be asked to replace Yan Feng soon.Unexpectedly, the emperor still didn't say anything, he just directed the players on the field to strengthen their defense.

Until the end of the first half, the emperor did not replace Yan Feng.

Under the desperate defense of the whole team, the Shenzhen team held the situation very hard.The Zhongneng team was not allowed to score again, and finally ended the first half with a score behind by one goal.

When Yan Feng was off the court, the Great Emperor patted him on the shoulder.

"The conceded goal is not your responsibility. You played very well in the first half. Don't be depressed, there is still the second half."

The emperor's words made Yan Feng feel a lot better.The stone in my heart that I thought others would blame him was also let go.
