Chapter 169 Failed Defense Experiment

My method of playing centre-back proved to be useless.Because my defensive skills are not good, and I don't have a physical advantage, so letting me play as a central defender is simply a waste of resources.Soon, coach Susic realized this, and he finally stopped insisting that I play central defender.

However, he is still struggling with the question of who to choose at centre-back.In this position, he tried several people again. However, whether it was Halihovic, Salihamidzic, Babarec, or even Dzeko-all of them were central defenders, and Ibi Shevic killed the Quartet.When Dzeko served as a central defender, even if Ibisevic had no partner and was alone, he still pressed Dzeko's head and scored a goal!Therefore, in the end, coach Susic's entire defensive system was still not established.

At this time, Misimovic said to coach Susic: "Coach Susic, I have an idea, I wonder if you are interested in knowing it?"

Coach Susic is in a state of desperation, and Misimovic's suggestion, no matter how bad it is, I'm afraid he will try it as a life-saving straw.However, what he didn't expect was that Misimovic actually suggested to keep the current lineup unchanged, and no longer toss about the lineup.His reason is that even if we are going to face the Norwegian team, which is tall and burly, there is absolutely no need to change the personnel to deal with the opponent's impact.After all, we also have our own characteristics. Our midfield control is stronger than that of the Norwegian team. At that time, the tall forward of the Norwegian team may not be able to touch the ball.Even if he is Fyotoft, the real focus of the competition is still above the midfield!

Our midfield has a very strong configuration.Among other things, the combination of Misimovic, Pjanic and me is already very strong.Not to mention having superstars like Barbarec and Salihamidzic.With such a strong midfielder, we don't have to be afraid of the Norwegian team, let alone their striker Fjortoft.You must know that the core of a team is in the midfield. As long as the midfield can control the ball, the forward line will get a steady stream of opportunities.But if the midfielder can't control the ball, it is useless to have a strong striker.Coach Susic just didn't figure out this problem, so he struggled with the central defender for so long.In fact, in such a game, the decisive factor is not the central defender at all, but the midfielder.

Misimovic's suggestion reflects his excellent general demeanor.After hearing his suggestion, coach Susic also discovered his own problem.For a long time, he has paid too much attention to the configuration of the front and rear ends, but neglected the midfield.It's time for him to change his underestimation of the midfielder.

This time, coach Susic once again transferred me back to the main lineup, as an attacking midfielder.The five of us are together again.This time we are no longer practicing the collocation of the central defenders, but the offense in the frontcourt.We decided, in this game against Norway, to replace the defense of the defense with the offense of the frontcourt.We will suppress the Norwegian team with a strong offense so that they cannot stand up.

This time, Dzeko and Ibisevic scored several goals again.Our main team, in a very Norwegian way, beat the substitutes.

After that, we are very much looking forward to the official game against the Norwegian team.It has become our consensus to use offense instead of defense to teach them.

Time flies, and soon, the official game against the Norwegian team in Oslo is about to begin.We used a very aggressive lineup.There is no doubt Dzeko and Ibisevic in the forward line, and me, Babarec, Salihamidzic, Misimovic and Pjanic in the midfield.On the defensive line, the captain is still in charge, and the goalkeeper is Piplika.As expected, the Norwegian team used Fjotoft as the main striker to play. They will undoubtedly use long passes as their main tactics!

The game has finally started!Our Bosnian top five started at the same time, not only shocked the whole Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also shocked the whole world!Among the national teams in the world, I am afraid that we are the only ones who dare to do this.

The Norwegian team seemed to have a problem with our use of five teenagers in their 20s, and they threatened to make us pay for our slighting them.As soon as they kicked off, they used a very violent attack, trying to kill us.In terms of offensive methods, as expected, the long pass tactics were used!Their Zhong Yang hoisted the ball high and into our half.

In their frontcourt, there is Fjortoft.His ability to control the high-altitude ball is very powerful!Even if our captain Spasic tried his best, he could not beat Fjotoft in the header competition.Fjortoft headed the ball down, and another striker from the Norwegian team rushed over quickly and shot at the ball! ——

Piplika is flying!The old goalkeeper showed a convincing performance when he needed it most!He touched the edge of the ball, and under the influence of his touch, the ball changed its direction of motion and flew towards the far goal post! After the sound of duang, the ball hit the goal post and popped out of bounds!
This ball must be credited to Piplika!After all, this shot was a short and powerful shot from an open space!If it was an ordinary goalkeeper defending the ball, he might not even have a reaction at all!However, the old goalkeeper Piplika has been in the football world for many years. His experience and the world he has seen are far more than other goalkeepers!It is precisely because of this that he, who once made a low-level mistake of "Flying Immortals", has already understood that before such a shot appears, he must react in advance!So, he used an early move and made a world-class save to save the Bosnia and Herzegovina team from the fire!

Our whole team rushed over and hugged Piplika!What a credit for avoiding conceding a goal in the first minute of the game!
However, from another perspective, we also really understand how terrible the Norwegian team's high-altitude bombing is.In the defense of the next corner kick, we didn't dare to make mistakes. Even Dzeko returned to his own penalty area to assist in the defense.
