Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 104 Almighty Offensive and Defensive 】

The player who was temporarily transferred to the first team by Fraser was named Larry Higg, and he was only 17 years old this year.You can tell by the name that it doesn't look like a purebred Dutchman.Higg is actually of Arab descent and has a dark complexion.

After careful consideration, Fraser decided to give the teenager a chance.The Eredivisie is originally a stage for young people, and now that the team is ahead, there is still room for young people to make mistakes.

Seager received instructions from assistant coach Jorgen to warm up and prepare for the game. His eyes widened and he thought he was hallucinating. It was not until Jorgen greeted him for the second time that he quickly took off his shirt to prepare for the game.

During the period before Higg came on the field, Nakamba on the left was instructed to withdraw temporarily. However, his ability on the defensive end was basically negligible.

Wen Zhihao had the clearest mind at this time, he took the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm, even if he passed back to the midfield and back line, he made sure that the opponent would not counterattack.

Due to Wen Zhihao's first-class ability to control the rhythm, there was a quiet period of several minutes on the court. Fraser took advantage of this time to emphasize his responsibilities on the court to the first-team rookie Higg.

Higg stood on the sidelines, his little heart beating fast and his legs were trembling slightly.He felt that he really went from the mortal world to the heaven, and the happiness came too suddenly.At first I thought I was just feeling the atmosphere, and to put it bluntly, I was just making up for it, but now I actually have the opportunity to play for the first team.

"Larry, do you understand?" Fraser asked after explaining.

"Uh... Yes!"

Higg was still in a daze, and suddenly heard the head coach's question, and nodded subconsciously.In fact, he was completely immersed in his own world just now, and he didn't listen to much of what Fraser explained.

But fortunately, he hasn't forgotten his position. After playing, he directly stood in the gap of the left back.

For the first time this season, Fraser made a passive adjustment in 10 minutes. Higg replaced Castegno.Back up and forward down, this is a common way to strengthen defense when one less player is fighting.

However, Fraser immediately realized that the situation on the field was not right. Higg was obviously playing in this kind of game for the first time. He was over excited, too eager to express himself, and made a lot of defensive moves. Not to mention blindly tackled the ball, the offensive end directly regarded himself as a winger.Nakamba, who is on the left side with him, has almost zero defensive ability. Fundamentally, both of them are people who like to take the ball forward. Alkmaar has rich experience, and seized this opportunity to launch several counterattacks from the right side of his side, threatening Waiters' goal several times.

Taking advantage of the interval when the opponent's attack failed, Fraser quickly called Wen Zhihao over to explain a few words, and then returned to the court. Everyone was surprised to find that he and Nakamba had switched sides and came to the left.

After Wen Zhihao came to the left, he first came to Higgs, smiled at him, and said, "Is it very exciting to play for the first time? Hehe, of course you can express yourself, but you are a full-back, you have to defend well first, understand?"

Higgs originally wanted to defend himself, but when he saw the captain's armband on Wen Zhihao's arm, he swallowed his words again.

Although Wen Zhihao is only the second captain, his core position cannot be shaken.Higgs is not stupid, he naturally knows that as a rookie, he should listen more to opinions and talk less.

But back on the court, Wen Zhihao found that his words didn't work at all. It may be due to the nature of young players. This guy continued to take the ball and rush up.Wen Zhihao understood why the coach asked him to switch sides and play left.

It's basically letting yourself make up for it!
Forget it, who made us the boss? It's an incumbent duty to do such drudgery.

Alkmaar saw that Wen Zhihao, who was the most offensive threat, pulled back to the back line to defend, and immediately concentrated his firepower to force a breakthrough from this side. Wen Zhihao finally found an actual combat opportunity to test the effect of the intensive defensive training during this period.

For the first defensive attempt, Wen Zhihao faced the Swedish fast Matankovic who had passed Kosuke Ota several times before.The opponent came up and wanted to use the advantage of his long legs to pass Wen Zhihao directly, but as soon as he lay the ball out a step, before he started, a white wall of people lay directly in front of him, directly blocking his connection with the ball.

Tankovic looked at Wen Zhihao who was more than one size smaller than himself in front of him. He was obviously not convinced, and wanted to stretch his legs to touch the ball from between Wen Zhihao's legs. Usually this kind of ball just needs to fall to the ground, and it will definitely result in a foul and a yellow card.But Wen Zhihao chose to surprise more cleverly. He sent the ball to his right one step faster than the opponent, and then his body connected very quickly. He leaned his back against the opponent and completed a half-turn.

Even the away fans exclaimed for a while, and then gave a burst of applause.

"A world-class turning around! Wen Zhihao dared to do such a move in the guard position. Wen Zhihao is really a brave man." He Wei sincerely praised this scene.

The ensuing game kept playing a particularly abnormal scene. Higgs, who used to be a full-back, rushed forward like a winger, while Wen Zhihao, who was originally the core of the team's offense, did block defenses and tackles on the ground again and again, and the success rate was not low.

Watching Wen Zhihao's performance off the court, Fraser couldn't help being curious. Are there any positions on the court that he can't play?

The midfielder on the right breaks through sharply, plays the midfielder with an excellent overall view, passes the ball accurately, and shows offensive and defensive versatility at the full-back position, and can cover a wing performance.

powerful!Invincible!
Fraser was delighted to have such an all-round warrior under his command.

At the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged, and Waiters still maintained a 1:0 lead even with one less player.

In the second half, Alkmaar began to show the background of a strong team.The offensive end tried not to pass through Wen Zhihao's side.Even if Wen Zhihao had the best abilities, he still couldn't join the offense and defense through the two side lanes.

As time went by, Alkmaar, who played one more player, gradually showed a numerical advantage, while Waiters, who had been hit hard in the second half, finally had a loophole on the right.Alkmaar broke through the defense on the right and then entered the penalty area to pass back in an inverted triangle. The top scorer in the team, Iranian international Jahanbakhsh followed up with a low shot to equalize the score.

After the equalizer, Alkmaar wanted to take advantage of the home court advantage to pursue the victory, but Wen Zhihao once again played a key role. He made many key clearances in front of the goal to prevent the opponent from scoring, helping the team to secure a point.

It was a pity that he failed to hold on to the victory, but Fraser's mood was not affected at all, but he was very happy.Wen Zhihao's brilliant performance as a full-back gave him another weapon in his hands, and his explosion at this critical point could just become the most important piece of the puzzle for the current defense.
