Infinity Dark Soccer

Chapter 159 Fighting for Relegation (2)

After seven rounds of the God Cup, the Raptors met the Diamondbacks, a D-level team, and only then did they win a victory.

After this victory, midfielder Meng Xiao proposed a transfer, and the Raptors executives could not refuse, because they did not dare to offend the club that wanted to use Meng Xiao.

When everyone thought that Mucci didn't need to be a substitute, they didn't expect the senior management to inform through high-level guidance that a powerful B-level player would be introduced to join.

Take an A-level player, come a B-level player, the media thinks that the strength of the Raptors has declined again, but when they know who the players introduced by the Raptors are, they immediately look at it differently.

Although this player belongs to the B-level team, he already has the strength of an A-level player, and he is stronger than Meng Xiao. The club refused, and now after the club introduced several outstanding players, this player also felt that his style of play was restricted, so he was interested in leaving.

This person is Zhang Yang, one of the top ten handsome guys in the space, the former captain and absolute main force of the Dream Team.In the past, no one would transfer to the team that was going to be relegated, but because the 18-man team was successfully formed, the Lord God pardoned the world, and the relegated team will not be randomly obliterated players within four seasons.

Of course, there are still four consecutive losses, six goals conceded, five rounds without scoring, etc., but the Raptors have not yet encountered it.

In the past, if there were seven rounds of victories, there would be random obliteration, but the players all thought that if they failed to win seven rounds, they might be relegated, their morale would be low, and their four-game losing streak would be possible. It was also cancelled.

At that time, this was the most sensational news, and it was only later that the New Cosmic Society was built. Everyone felt that the Lord God Space would become more and more humanized, and finally cancel the obliteration, but it has not yet become a reality.

Otherwise, someone on the Raptors has already been randomly obliterated because they have not won seven rounds.

Zhang Yang, who was transferred, was asked to speak by a high-ranking coach at the training ground, saying: "In order to upgrade and improve strength, many old players and friends are no longer in the same team. I still know more people here. I hope everyone can give me more advice."

The team members applauded enthusiastically, and Li Feng said with a smile: "If there are beauties, let's get to know each other more, so don't monopolize it by yourself." Everyone laughed.

Zhang Yang is a striker and also a midfielder. He is very lethal. He can organize offenses and score goals. Lu Xiaojia's style of playing with the ball will not work in A-level teams, so he becomes a substitute. Mucci Being the main, the Raptors try 361.
Zhang Peng and Lin Dong have double defensive midfielders. These two have combined defensive skills.
Zhang Yang and Zhang Ran are in front, Mu Qi is on the right, Zhen Shuai is on the left,
Such a midfielder is considered by the media to be very strong, and it is the midfielder of a mid-range team, not for relegation.

Three days before the start of the eighth round, news came from Qin Haoxiu: the draw for the top [-] was over, and the Chinese team and the Saudi Arabian Korean team Bahrain were divided into one group.

The team members are still a little worried about this grouping, because the North Korean team is considered to play as space players, whether in space or on the earth, they are very mysterious and cannot be understood.

The Saudi team, it is said that there are a few players from the main god space who have collected enough 100 million to join with the help of teammates, which is also very difficult to deal with.Bahrain probably has nothing to fear, but it may not be able to qualify easily.

Yang Wuji said that if North Korea played with space players, they would be wiped out if they could be wiped out.

Since personally obliterating the Burmese team, Yang Wuji has become very murderous.

But everyone knows that teams that go out in space are very difficult to deal with.

Even so, the team members all expressed their determination to qualify.

The day before the start of the game, Qin Haoxiu sent news again: the North Korean team defeated the England team with all the main players 2-0 in the warm-up match on Earth.

Obviously, this is indeed the team played by the main god space. There is no need for them to hide their strength, because this is different from the game in Myanmar. After all, there is no personal hatred, and there is a possibility of entering the top 10 together, and they may also qualify together.

Yang Wuji expressed that he was very excited, very excited, he became the hero of the Shuntian League when he killed the Burmese team last time.

Meng Qingyao replied: Be excited, maybe you still won't be able to play.

Yang Wuji said: Okay, probably you are playing the trick of a hungry tiger coming out of the cage again, I will definitely not let the North Korean team down.

Meng Qingyao stopped talking, and just called Lin Dong alone to ask about his situation, hoping that he would not be affected by the league and maintain his state.

Lin Dong said he understood, and he didn't know why, it was difficult for him to play, or he had tried his best, but he just couldn't get much advantage in offense, couldn't score goals, and defense was also very difficult.

Wushuang skills are useless in the A-level league. It may be caused by psychological reasons. When he was loaned to the Tianya team, he thought he was used to playing in the A-level league. However, it seems that he has not really adapted to this level. Contest.

Maybe I am really in the bottleneck period as Meng Qingyao said.

In the eighth round, the opponents were the Dark Forest team who had been promoted together and were fighting hard for relegation.

The Forest team said to them before the game: Anyway, relegation is not obliterated, so you just let us go, not to mention that you may not be able to relegation if you win.

They are ranked fourth from the bottom, and the situation will be better if they win.

The Raptors were last, and even if they won, they might still be last. Therefore, the media in other cities advised the Raptors, which had four 18-man teams, to give up and let their players play games on Earth.

But the Raptors never accept such "persuasion".
In the game against the Dark Forest team, the new-looking Raptors relied on their home advantage, relying on central defenders Zhou Hao and He Wei's corner kicks to score headers, Li Feng's long-range shots, and Zhang Yang's free kicks to beat their opponents 4-0. .

Ou Haiqiang saved a penalty kick and became the best player on the spot.

Apart from a few successful defenses and an exquisite long pass, Lin Dong still had nothing special to show.

The Raptors also won their first A-League victory. Together with the victory in the God Cup, it was considered a two-game winning streak, which greatly boosted morale.

However, Lin Dong was very depressed. His state had been sluggish for a long time. He remembered the game in Myanmar. Meng Qingyao said that he was probably in a bottleneck period, maybe it was comfort, maybe it was true.

He contacted Qin Haoxiu and asked what to do if the situation was not good. Qin Haoxiu said with a smile: "If you ask like this, it is obvious that you suspect that you are in a bottleneck period. If that is the case, I will congratulate you." Lin Dong smiled wryly.

Qin Haoxiu suddenly asked: "If I invite you to join the 18-man team now, would you still shake my hand so readily?"

Lin Dong quickly said, "Yes."

Qin Haoxiu said: "No, you won't."

Lin Dong was a little unhappy and said, "I will definitely."

Qin Haoxiu said: "In order to get more, you rely too much on skills and equipment, because you are always worried that you will be eliminated if you don't use these things. When you are addicted to them, it is impossible to think about other things. Wei Kangcheng has already Only when you have reached a certain stage will you not be tempted."

Lin Dong was speechless,

Qin Haoxiu continued: "Last time in Hangzhou, as I said, football mainly depends on comprehension and more thinking. This is what I did in the bottleneck period."

Lin Dong was surprised, and asked again: "Thinking, is it enough just thinking?"

Qin Haoxiu gave an affirmative answer, "There seem to be many things in the world, but in fact there are only two, which are yin and yang. Our skills, cards, and our own strength are all material things that are yang. Mysterious consciousness. These things that cannot be seen Things are yin, if we can think more, let what we have learned be fully integrated, and yin and yang will be born together, so that our own abilities can truly be brought into play and move towards a new stage."

"Your problem is the same as all players who have just entered the B-level and A-level. You see more immediate benefits, so you haven't thought about it. It is true that you are different from others and have a stronger ability to resist temptation, but you want to improve too much. , but it will affect your progress instead."

After all, he turned off the communicator.

Qin Haoxiu used the theory of yin and yang to solve the confusion in the bottleneck period, which made Lin Dong feel very fresh. From now on, he will focus more on thinking.

He has learned a lot of skills now, how can he better integrate what he has learned, he is thinking hard, thinking hard.

In the next six league games, the Raptors did not encounter a strong team, with two wins and two draws. If this is the record, even in the B-League, they can enter the top eight. However, the Raptors are only ranked at the bottom 4th place, 16 points away from 5th place.

At this time, the top [-] competition started. Except for the last one, this competition is relatively intensive. At least it is inconvenient to participate in the main god space competition, otherwise the physical fitness cannot be guaranteed.

Anyway, relegation would not lead to the obliteration of his teammates, so Lin Dong left with confidence. If he did not play well in the World Cup, he might be doomed. Therefore, he devoted himself to preparing for the competition on Earth, and no longer thought about whether his team would survive relegation.

The first opponent the Chinese team encountered was the Bahrain team at home.

A few fans who are dissatisfied with the China-Myanmar battle think that Bahrain is much better than Myanmar and so on, and it is good that the Chinese team can retreat unscathed.

However, the Chinese team played very well in the away game in Bahrain and beat their opponents 5-0. Jiang Cheng served as goalkeeper for the first time and performed well. Lu Huijian, Jian Ziqiang, Mo Hanchen, Hao Tao and Ren Feihong each scored a goal ,
Zhang Hantang and Cheng Liang didn't even make the substitute list
Because this game really doesn't need them very much.

This still surprised the fans. After all, the Chinese team hadn't won such a hearty victory over the West Asian team for a long time.

The media thinks that this Chinese team is the slowest one ever to enter the state, so we should watch it slowly, maybe it will play better in the future.

Five days later, the Chinese team played against the Saudi team at home. Based on the intelligence analysis, Meng Qingyao knew that the opponent's No. 31 and No. 27 were players who had pooled 100 million from the main god space teammates. They were very strong, but the strongest was No. 5 Player, he made up 100 million by himself. His defensive ability is super strong, not weaker than Ren Feihong, and every time the Saudi team gets a corner kick, they will inevitably go to the penalty area to compete for the top. Pass 4 balls.

Most importantly, the Saudi team itself is very strong, with top-notch personal skills and tactics in Asia.

The players were a little nervous, but they knew that their team was still stronger, so they quickly calmed down and started training seriously.

Meng Qingyao slightly adjusted the lineup, with Dai Qiang, Shen Qun and Ren Feihong as central defenders, and Tie Wei and Lin Dong as double midfielders, marking No. 31 and No. 27.

She excluded Gao Xiang and Yang Wuji from the substitute list again, because this game does not need Gao Xiang's assists for the time being, and Yang Wuji does not need to explain.

The Chinese team formed a 361 formation, with Lu Xiaojia as the center, Mo Hanchen advancing forward, Qin Haoxiu at the center, and Jian Ziqiang and Lu Hui on both sides.

Fans feel strange about Lu Xiaojia as a center forward, thinking that they cannot compete with the strong defensive No. 5 defender Saeed.

But after the game started, the fans understood that Lu Xiaojia was not a pure center forward, but a winger, turning left and right, creating shooting opportunities for Mo Hanchen, Jian Ziqiang, or Lu Hui who came in at any time.

This is one of the tactics of the Chinese team. The other tactic of the Chinese team is of course Qin Haoxiu as the center, penetrating into the middle, and then suddenly splitting and crossing.

Another tactic is to make more use of Shen Qun's long shots.

Lin Dong also occasionally assists near the penalty area to create a threat to the opponent. Most of the time, he and Tiewei guard No. 31 and No. 27.

Due to the stability of the Chinese team and the diversification of tactics, the Chinese team had a great advantage in the first half. However, No. 31 and No. 27 also restrained the Chinese team. It was a draw to 5.However, the Chinese team took 0 shots far ahead of the Saudi team's 0 shots, and they also had an advantage in possession of the ball.

In the locker room, Meng Qingyao expressed concern, because the other opponent, the North Korean team, played with space players. If the Chinese side could not even deal with the Saudi team, which only had three space players, it would be very dangerous. In the first round, North Korea 3-0 [-] defeated Saudi Arabia and temporarily ranked second.

Everyone is thinking about how to win the game.

At the end of the break, Meng Qingyao suddenly said: "Xiaolu." Everyone thought that Lu Xiaojia was going to be replaced, Meng Qingyao shook her head and said: "It's nothing." Then she said to Mo Hanchen: "Play hard for 10 minutes, and then I will use Han Don replace you."

Zhang Hantang had better not start with Qin Haoxiu. This is the principle of Meng Qingyao's employment, but it doesn't mean that in an emergency, he can't come off the bench.

In the second half, the Saudi team took advantage of the kick-off to press forward, took advantage of the fact that the Chinese team had only 3 central defenders, quickly attacked both sides of the Chinese team, and won a corner kick in the second minute.

No. 5 rushed up immediately. He was tall and powerful. At this moment, he was really a nightmare for any team.

The ball was delivered, and it was delivered accurately to Said's attack range, and he immediately headed the goal.

Unexpectedly, it was empty, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the ball had been ejected by Dai Qiang first.

Dai Qiang was taller than him, and also very strong. Although he was young, he looked very thin, and he didn't exercise in space for nothing.

After that, Dai Qiang controlled the ball in the air, and he destroyed the opponent's three consecutive corner kicks.

This made Said very depressed.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Hantang came on the field. He used his personal ability to break through continuously and created several opportunities for direct free kicks. However, Qin Haoxiu seemed to be out of shape. He missed twice and hit the post once.

The fans sighed.

In the 65th minute of the second half, the Saudi team also got a direct free kick opportunity. No. 5 took the free kick himself. His free kick was very tricky and fast.

Afterwards, Meng Qingyao replaced Tie Wei with Cheng Liang to hit the midfielder,

Fans can't understand this substitution. At this time, we need to attack. We should increase the frontcourt. What does it mean to change the midfielder?

But then they understood that Cheng Liang, as an A-level player, is better than Tiewei in terms of defense and midfield organization. The two midfielders in Saudi Arabia will keep a close eye on Qin Haoxiu and Zhang Hantang when defending. The situation is relatively balanced, but Suddenly there was a midfielder with good skills, who would attack from time to time, making it difficult for the Saudi defense to parry.

In the 75th minute, with the help of Cheng Liang, Lin Dong intercepted the Saudi striker's ball and passed an accurate long pass to Lu Xiaojia. Lu Xiaojia quickly broke through to the bottom line and then made a pass.

Qin Haoxiu and Zhang Hantang broke out suddenly, throwing off the marking players, hungry for food, both rushed into the penalty area, and finally the ball fell on Zhang Hantang's head, Zhang Hantang's header was saved by the goalkeeper, and the No. 3 defender immediately kicked the ball out.

Cheng Liang got the ball, passed the No. 7 midfielder who rushed forward, and adjusted continuously. Qin and Zhang immediately moved to the two sides, attracting No. 5's defense. In the neutral position, Cheng Liang raised his leg 5 meters outside the penalty area and shot.

The ball was so fast that the goalkeeper couldn't catch it and could only watch it go into the net.

The Chinese team led 1-0.

Although Cheng Liang didn't show a ferocious smile in the Myanmar team's game, but now the Saudi team sees the ferocious smile of this tiger.

The Saudi team made a strong counterattack at the end, but the Chinese team defended extremely solidly, and finally defended the three points.

The Chinese team continued to rank first with 6 points, and the North Korean team ranked second with two goals less.

Even so, it also made the Chinese players feel very scared. Saudi Arabia, which has only three space players, is so difficult to fight, what will happen to North Korea.

The third game will be held in a month, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and return to the main god space to rest.

The main god space has played two games. The Raptors have two consecutive draws, and the ranking and gap remain unchanged. However, many players are not very hopeful about relegation. Even the top management has adjusted their strategies. I hope everyone will do their best. It is the first time to play The Raptors in the A-League can only be regarded as accumulating experience.

In the next round, the Raptors will face the fifth-to-last Tianzi team. The Tianzi team’s opponent in the next round is the Tiansha team, and the Raptors’ opponent is the last-ranked opponent. As long as they win two wins, they may lead by one point. Relegation zone, morale boost.

In fact, the Raptors have not won two consecutive victories in the league, and the only two consecutive victories still included the main God Cup game.

So some substitute players said: "Forget it, anyway, relegation does not obliterate players, so let's appoint them like this."

Lin Dong refused to admit defeat in his heart. Although he is not in good shape, he must find what he needs through this game.

Mu Qi, Zhang Rangao and Yang Jun also told Lin Dong that they would fight for relegation.
