Chapter 101 Defense in actual combat
The bus arrived at its destination, and our training ground was right in front of us.

This training, our training time is only one and a half hours.It starts at 06pm and ends at 30:[-].After the training, we will eat directly in the restaurant of the training base, and we will go back to the hotel to sleep after the meal.

At five o'clock sharp, we gathered in the center of the training ground.Coach Kok stood in front of the team and said: "This afternoon, our main training method is three-on-three small confrontation. Each group has six people, three on each side, and a wicket is placed behind the three people. You must It is necessary to pass all three of the opponent through dribbling or tactical cooperation, and then bring the ball into the net in front of the goal. This kind of training is to practice your three-person cooperation, especially the defensive cooperation. That's it, Let's get started, everyone."

Coach Kok directed everyone to use all kinds of sundries to fill the field with "goals". This kind of group confrontation is actually very similar to the schoolbag competition we used to play in middle school. There are not many people on both sides. But, then put the schoolbags on both sides of the playground as the goal. If you want to score a goal, it is difficult to shoot from a long distance, because the defense is tight and the goal is small, so you can only rely on skills to pass the opponent, and then no one defends. Only when the goal is scored.Such a small-scale game actually requires a lot of skills. Those with good skills will easily pass others, while those with poor skills will have a hard time playing on such a field.Moreover, such a small field itself is also a good place to practice skills - if you want to surpass others, you must use a lot of small skills. If you don't know how, others will steal your ball and force you You learn these little techniques!
Coach Kok suddenly started this kind of three-on-three confrontation among middle school students in training this afternoon. It must not be a whim, but a foresight!I'm afraid he's mainly attacking me—after all, I can only be regarded as a midfielder with strong individual defense but weak team defense, and this kind of three-person confrontation is to exercise my team defense ability!Moreover, in such a relatively small venue, it is easier to practice skills, whether it is defensive skills or offensive skills, it is easy to practice!

Since it was a three-on-three confrontation, Coach Cork stopped blowing the whistle. He let us start by ourselves, but in terms of personnel, he selected them!

My partner is Cesar and Anderkovic, a combination of a defensive midfielder and two central defenders. This combination is obviously established to train our central defense.And our opponents are...Novakovic, Beric and Ljubyankic!

Novakovic came at me with the ball!I have been able to skillfully command Cesar and Anderkovic to stare at Beric and Ljubyankic from left to right, and I will go forward to face Novakovic!

Novakovic shouted: "Zago Jeruhovic, I already know how to break your wave tackle! Come and tackle me!"

I looked at the positions of Novakovic and the two forwards next to him, and found that the distance between them seemed a bit far away, as if... Novakovic didn't want to pass the ball to them, but the two of them seemed to be On the sidelines, to lure Cesar and Anderkovic away is to let Novakovic and me fight one-on-one!

How could I fall for it so easily!

I think of Robben's defense against me today!
He didn't have to tackle the ball at all, he just used his burly body to stop there. When I was sprinting at high speed, as long as I couldn't change the line well, I couldn't pass his thick, mountain-like body!
Facing Novakovic, can I also be like Robben?Novakovic is very tall, his ability to change lines is weak, he is strong in his passing organization ability, finishing ability and header ability!Facing him, my method of tackling is effective, but the method of tackling has a fatal weakness, that is, once I make a move, I cannot turn back!I know that once Novakovic is ready, it is very easy to pass my tackle, so this time, not only can I not use the tackle, but I have to use the dogfighting method, Come grab the ball at his feet!
Novakovic, just rushed towards me!He is tall and burly, and he is vigorous with the ball!When he rushed over at full speed, I stood up like Robben, not stretching my feet, but using the width of my shoulders to block his way forward!

Novakovic was very surprised to see that I didn't use the tackle. When he rushed in front of me and found that my body blocked his way, he began to panic.However, his passing line has been blocked by Cesar and Anderkovic, so he can only bite the bullet and come to me for a one-on-one confrontation!

I think back to Robben's defense against me today!He really didn't move his body from the beginning to the end, he just stood there with his whole body and let me break through, as long as I made the move first, he followed me to do the move!Before I successfully used the trick that Robben taught me to turn the ball twice, Robben's trick of "standing like a mountain" made me suffer a lot!Therefore, I believe that when facing Novakovic, as long as I can stand like this, Novakovic must have nothing to do with me!After all, although his body is very strong, he doesn't have an absolute advantage when facing me!Because my physical fitness is also very good, except for my height, I am not weaker than him in other aspects!

Novakovic, just ran towards me!
At the last moment, he wanted to make a change!However, with his huge body, it is very difficult to change the line!As a result, his line change failed completely, his whole body hit me, and the ball bounced and rolled to the side!

The power balance between Novakovic and me is about the same as the power balance between Robben and me!After all, his body is stronger than mine, so I am not like Robben, who can withstand the impact of Novakovic without moving a bit!I was knocked back a few steps by him. Although the defense was successful this time, the force I endured made my chest tight, and a very uncomfortable feeling came up instantly!

However, the ball hadn't gone out of the boundary yet, and it was bouncing towards the goal!
With the last of my strength, I shook off Novakovic, rushed to kick the ball over the touchline, and fell to the grass.
