Chapter 314 Still Tricked

The basic skills of the Dragon Country team's players are indeed poor, but that is compared to European players.

They also grew up in football schools and entered the youth training system. No matter how bad this system is, these players still have the basic ability to dribble and pass.

The reason for many mistakes is largely related to their confidence.

When everyone is criticizing them for being poor, they subconsciously feel that they are poor.

When someone stands up to encourage them, especially when this person is a top European player, Zhao Gang, who is considered by many fans to be the hope for the future of the national football team, their confidence will greatly increase. They dare to make moves on the field and no longer worry too much. If they are always thinking that they can't hold the ball, then their strength is actually not that bad.

A stabilizing force significantly strengthens the Dragon Country's midfield and backfield control.

This completely invalidates the attacking strategy of the Stick Country team, which wanted to counter-attack after the opening.

Even after Wu Lei fell back, the Dragon Country team spent a considerable amount of time passing and pulling in the opponent's half.

Many fans were dumbfounded.

Can the Dragon Country team still play tiki-taka?

Although this kind of passing and controlling looks like it's just for the sake of passing and controlling, with almost no threat, it's already bright enough.

"The Dragon Country team's continuous passing and coordination really has a bit of a Man City feel..."

"It just can't pass into the dangerous area!"

"Stick Country's defense is okay. The running coverage of the two defensive midfielders is very strong, and it is difficult for big loopholes to appear. The Dragon Country team's personal ability is still not good. If this were Man City's frontcourt, they would have rushed up long ago."

"This...there is no comparison, right? Everyone knows the level of the Dragon Country team. It is enough to be commendable to be able to sort out a good offense and passing."

"Hey, this sounds like an insult, but it's a fact..."

In Lippi's lineup, Zhao Gang, although on the wing, is basically in the middle of the field, receiving or distributing the ball. Zhang Linpeng will keep plugging in, filling the position of the wing attack, while Zheng Zhi will cover for Zhang Linpeng.

Zhao Gang, who is taking the ball in the middle, knows clearly by looking at the defense of the Stick Country team that only continuous attacks will greatly deplete the Stick Country's physical energy, and the more they get to the back, the more their physical energy will be unable to support the defense.

Especially the two defensive midfielders, once they can't run, their defense will have very serious problems.

Moreover, their defensive line's turning speed is not fast enough to be comparable to Premier League-level defenders.

For a single person's super breakthrough, they can only keep double-teaming and assisting.

This will not only create good opportunities for his teammates, but also cause problems with their physical energy.

One person's physical energy is exchanged for two or three or even more of the opponent's.

No matter how you look at this business, it's a profit!

Standing there like a stunned Zhao Gang, made up his mind. In Man City, he has breakthroughs, but he will never go all out and keep breaking through.

In the national team, it is his duty.

The Stick Country players, looking at Zhao Gang in a daze, did not rush to grab him, because not long ago, Zhao Gang faced Arsenal, holding the ball and dazing in the midfield. Ramsey fell for the trick and rushed over, becoming the very tragic background of that game.

In the hearts of the Stick Country players, this young man in front of them has a very bad mind and is full of bad ideas.

Still want to use the same method to deceive us?

Hmph, dream on!

……

Ki Sung-yueng is probably the most outstanding defensive midfielder in the history of Stick Country.

His passing is very accurate, especially his long passes in fast counterattacks.

His midfield scheduling ability is very outstanding. He is the offensive metronome and the commander of the midfield of this Stick Country team.

He was spotted by Ferguson before he was even twenty years old, who wanted to bring him to Manchester United, which shows his level and future potential at that time.

He is also the most stable link on the football field of Stick Country.

He is tall and, coupled with the tireless characteristics of Stick Country players, his coverage area is basically top-notch in Asia.

The reputation of "Asian Gerrard" has spread throughout Stick Country. Although the land area of Stick Country is not even as large as a province of Dragon Country, at least everyone in Stick Country knows about it, which in itself is very remarkable.

Not to mention Asian players, even those good midfielders in Europe can hardly complete a breakthrough against him alone.

Today, Ki Sung-yueng has been assigned the most important task: to defend Zhao Gang's breakthrough.

At the same time, Hwang Hee-chan will also provide support at any time to limit Zhao Gang's breakthrough and tearing ability.

Zhao Gang on the field finally came back to his senses, and he did what he said!

In the past few days of training matches, he has seen that the abilities of these Dragon Country teammates are not beyond redemption, and they can be trusted.

Now, Zhao Gang is ready to exchange his chariot for the opponent's chariot, horse, and cannon. It shouldn't be difficult to win this game.

Zhao Gang directly touched the ball with the outside of his foot and killed it from the middle!

Ki Sung-yueng, who had been prepared for this, showed his best form and leaned towards Zhao Gang.

He bent down, lowered his center of gravity, so that he would not be easily thrown off, and his leg muscles were tense, ready to quickly intercept when Zhao Gang used his speed to get rid of him.

This is the defensive strategy he came up with in his mind after observing Zhao Gang's breakthrough.

But, what he can think of, can't the super defensive midfielders in Europe think of?

Wan Yama, the intercepting monster of Tottenham, Casemiro of Real Madrid, and Fabinho of Monaco, can't they think of it?

They all thought of it, but there was no way!

After Zhao Gang faced Ki Sung-yueng, his breakthrough method was exactly the same as Ki Sung-yueng guessed.

He poked the ball and then used his speed to get rid of him directly!

Ki Sung-yueng discovered Zhao Gang's poking action, and rushed over to intercept directly!

As a result, this poke, after touching the ball, changed to a push with the inside of the foot. The original breakthrough from the left was instantly changed to the right!

Ki Sung-yueng's center of gravity had already gone to his right, Zhao Gang's left.

It is impossible to recover in a short time.

Zhao Gang passed lightly with the ball. Ki Sung-yueng was heavily shaken, trying to regain his center of gravity. His legs fought each other, staggering, and he buried his head into the ground. Fortunately, he quickly supported the lawn with both hands, so that he did not fall on his face.

"Zhao Gang, a beautiful get away. The center of gravity shift and feint completely deceived Ki Sung-yueng! Ki Sung-yueng, a defensive midfielder with considerable defensive experience, shouldn't be shaken away so easily.

However, he is facing Zhao Gang, and he is already under some psychological pressure, and he gambled that he had judged Zhao Gang's breakthrough route correctly, but as a result, Zhao Gang saw through his next move."

Whoa!

The entire stand erupted with fierce cheers.

There was also a blood-boiling drumbeat. Listening to the dense and surging drumbeat, it was as if he was on the battlefield, making his whole body full of strength.

Stielike shook his head, a little helpless. He was passed in one fell swoop.

As a veteran who has fought in football for more than ten years, Stielike understands Ki Sung-yueng's mistake. There is no way. Anyone who encounters a player like Zhao Gang will be nervous.

There is also an urgent desire to defeat him, which makes Ki Sung-yueng a little impatient, leading to such a result.

If Ki Sung-yueng defended calmly, even if he was passed, he would not be so embarrassed. In all likelihood, he would be able to hold on until his teammates assisted.

Unfortunately, that's all theory.

After Zhao Gang passed Ki Sung-yueng, Ki Sung-yueng gritted his teeth and stood up and quickly chased back.

Hwang Hee-chan, who was originally going to defend Zhao Gang with Ki Sung-yueng, saw that his teammate was shaken away, so he had to quickly change his defensive route and sprint towards Zhao Gang's path.

And he quickly blocked in front of Zhao Gang.

Hwang Hee-chan is a real striker. He just turned twenty this year. He shouldn't be in the defensive midfielder position.

But Stielike arranged him in this position, naturally with a purpose.

His speed and explosiveness are very good. Arsenal and Monaco's defense against Zhao Gang is to retreat a striker and form an interception in the midfield, and the effect is very good.

Stielike felt that he was also a somewhat famous coach, with a few tricks in his hand, so he would let those people see how he defended Zhao Gang.

So he simply transformed Wenger's and Jardim's tactics and directly arranged a substitute striker as a defensive midfielder, using his speed to defend Zhao Gang.

Besides, Zhao Gang was also a striker at the beginning. Now, hasn't he been transformed into a midfielder by Guardiola, and he runs to the defensive midfielder position to defend the opponent's arrow forward from time to time?

If Guardiola can do it, then I can do it too.

If Zhao Gang can do it, then you, Hwang Hee-chan, are a year older than Zhao Gang, so you must be able to do it too.

If the tactic ultimately fails, it can only prove that you are not good, and it has nothing to do with me.

Facing Hwang Hee-chan, a young striker, Zhao Gang found it too easy to deal with him.

This guy is not a defensive midfielder at all. His defensive ability is not good at all, and the timing of his tackles is not qualified at all.

So before Zhao Gang accelerated towards the dangerous area, Hwang Hee-chan could still keep up, but when Zhao Gang suddenly stopped and made a feint, after a slight pause, Hwang Hee-chan poked up with one foot.

With this kick, Zhao Gang has two choices. One is to hit Hwang Hee-chan's leg with the ball. Hwang Hee-chan will definitely be called for a foul. This is the price of his reckless defense. Even if he is fouled, he has to endure it.

Another option is to directly dribble past, because after Hwang Hee-chan kicks, his center of gravity moves with it, and it is difficult to change his center of gravity and continue to keep up with Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang chose the second option, directly taking the ball away with one kick, and in one acceleration, he threw Hwang Hee-chan behind him.

One is the strongest defensive midfielder in Stick Country, Asian Gerrard, and the other is the future star of Stick Country's forward line. In this round, they are vulnerable in front of Zhao Gang.

The momentum of the Dragon Country fans is even greater.

A one-stop breakthrough, another one-stop breakthrough!

The title of Black Lightning is outdated. Now it is Red Flash!

A red figure is particularly dazzling, running through the Stick Country midfield defense, like a sharp sword, directly inserted into the heart of the Stick Country's defense!

The fans on the scene were waving flags and shouting, and the audience staying in front of the screen did not blink their eyes, clenched their fists, and even tightened their toes, staring at the live broadcast lens.

Will it……

Will he really pass through the defense alone and blast a shot, directly penetrating the Stick Country?

These nervous waiting fans can no longer feel their breathing. At this moment, they have no distractions and no time to think about other things. They are completely focused.

When Zhao Gang dribbled the ball forward, Huang Bowen had already followed on the wing to meet him. The running positions of him and Wang Yongpo did not overlap. One was on the wing, and the other was in the gap between the middle and the wing.

On the other side, Wu Lei was also accelerating and running to find an opportunity.

Yu Dabao in the middle gave way, trying to take away the defensive players and create a lot of space for Zhao Gang.

This offensive system is similar to that of Man City. It is a simple tactic created by Guardiola around Zhao Gang.

The core of this tactic is Zhao Gang, but the focus is actually on the running and interspersing of the other players.

Because Zhao Gang is unlikely to rush into the penalty area alone to score. Although it has happened, the success rate is not high. The cooperation and response of the other teammates are the most important.

The Dragon Country team is definitely much worse than Man City's Sterling, De Bruyne, Sane, and Aguero.

There is no way. Lippi can copy the tactics, but he can't change the personal abilities of these players. He can only imitate and try his luck.

This kind of tactical running position seems to be pulling away the opponent's defensive players so that Zhao Gang can break through and score, but it is actually increasing Zhao Gang's passing points and pulling the defense.

Because the opponent is unlikely to let Zhao Gang continue to break through. They would rather risk Zhao Gang passing a threatening ball than let Zhao Gang break into the penalty area with the ball.

Zhao Gang faced Jang Hyun-soo head-on, and another center-back Hong Jeong-ho was assisting on the side, preparing to block Zhao Gang's breakthrough and passing to the wing at any time.

Kim Jin-soo hesitated for a moment, but still gave up following Wang Yongpo and rushed to surround Zhao Gang directly.

Zhao Gang, who passed two defensive midfielders, did not slow down. Kim Jin-soo's timely abandonment of Wang Yongpo's tactics was temporarily very successful.

Wang Yongpo's threat was originally much smaller than Zhao Gang's, and his rushing route also had a chance to intercept Zhao Gang's pass to Wang Yongpo.

In addition, once Zhao Gang chooses to pass to Wang Yongpo, Kim Jin-soo can also quickly turn around and assist, and Hong Jeong-ho can also move to the middle at the first time to prevent Wang Yongpo from quickly cutting inside after receiving the ball.

It has to be said that the tactical literacy and attitude on the field of the Stick Country team are definitely among the best in Asia.

Kim Jin-soo's idea is very good. Once Zhao Gang passes the ball, he will intercept it. Once he can't intercept it, he will quickly return to defense.

However, Zhao Gang did not pass the ball. He seized the opportunity to run two steps quickly, preparing to compress Zhao Gang's passing space. As long as he is in position, Zhao Gang will have no angle to pass the ball to Wang Yongpo on the wing!

Kim Jin-soo accelerated. At this critical moment, he could no longer quickly turn around and return to defense.

Zhao Gang looked like he was going to force a breakthrough, but in fact, with a very concealed outside of his foot, he directly pushed the ball to Huang Bowen in the gap!

While running, Huang Bowen observed and started to accelerate when he saw the gap.

As he expected, he saw that gap, how could Zhao Gang not see it?

This awesome player is really awesome in everything.

Shooting, breakthrough, passing, vision, everything is proficient.

He can see through his mind at a glance.

Huang Bowen felt that playing with this kind of teammate was really simple and comfortable. He didn't need to use his brain. Just run wherever there is space.

The ball will definitely be passed to you accurately.

Huang Bowen received the ball and glanced into the penalty area.

Yu Dabao and Wu Lei had already run to their positions.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Yongpo's brainless cross gave the Stick Country team an illusion.

The same wing, although the people are different, it must still be a cross tactic!

With a swoosh, when Zhao Gang passed the ball to Huang Bowen, the Stick Country team's defenders rushed into the penalty area to block the cross.

Ki Sung-yueng, who had desperately chased back, happened to change his route and pounced on Huang Bowen to block him.

Huang Bowen glanced at the penalty area and pushed the ball out with one foot.

"Huang Bowen, there is an opportunity to cross! Hey? This ball... no cross! Oh!!!" The commentator shouted, almost scaring the audience into a heart attack.

More exciting than a goal.

Huang Bowen pushed the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Zhao Gang, who had just passed the ball, did not stop, ran forward two steps, leaned his body, raised his arm, and blasted a shot at the football!

Jang Hyun-soo felt a chill in his heart when he saw Huang Bowen looking at the penalty area and pushing the ball with his foot.

It's over!!

All the defenders rushed into the penalty area to block it.

He didn't cross, who did he pass to?

Who else could be in that position?

Zhao Gang.

And Zhao Gang with no one defending him.

Even Zhao Gang with no one blocking his shooting route.

Jang Hyun-soo ran towards the penalty area and hadn't taken his position yet, but instantly realized that there was a big problem. He exerted force on his feet and swished towards Zhao Gang's direction again.

But it was too late, and it was over.

Zhao Gang faced the ball and did not adjust at all. The football was like a bullet out of a chamber.

Hong Jeong-ho in the penalty area jumped high, subconsciously shrinking his head. He felt the wind behind his head, and the football roared past.

At this moment, he even felt that there was no guilt or remorse in dodging this.

If this hits his head, he might be gone on the spot.

Kwon Sun-tae is tall and has long arms, and his reaction ability is also quite strong. He made a save.

But the power of this ball was really too full.

No one blocked it, so Zhao Gang had no interference when he kicked.

The ball speed was so fast that it was difficult to see the shadow clearly even in the resolution of the TV screen.

Only slow motion can make people see the route clearly.

Kwon Sun-tae heard the sound of the football hitting the net as he fell in the air.

This sound is heavenly to the Dragon Country team, but it is simply a life-threatening drumbeat to the Stick Country.

"Goal!! Goal!!! Goal!!! Good shot!!! Goal!!!"

Fang Yang, who was commentating with He Shi, was so excited that he was about to go crazy. The extremely penetrating and passionate voice was transmitted to the audience's ears, and coupled with that violent blow, it instantly made people's blood surge and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over.

Boom!

The explosive sound instantly filled the entire Changsha Stadium. The surging red ocean was like the earth shrugging its shoulders, and the shocking sense of oppression made the entire stadium tremble.

The red figure flew across the field to the sidelines. Huang Bowen, who sent the assist, tried to catch him, but he didn't catch Zhao Gang's jersey. He could only rush out of the field with him, and only managed to catch up when Zhao Gang slid out.

Huang Bowen sat down on the ground and put his arm around Zhao Gang's shoulder. A group of teammates rushed over and knocked the excited Zhao Gang to the ground.

"Huang Bowen's feint made the Stick Country players think he would cross, and everyone rushed into the penalty area to prepare for defense. As a result, he pretended to do one thing while doing another, and passed the ball to Zhao Gang at the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Zhao Gang did not waste this good opportunity! A thunderous long-range shot!

We even had a hard time seeing the route of the football at the first time!

The power of this kick is really too strong!

Dragon Country team!

In the twelfth minute of the game, they took the lead and led one to zero!"

"This kick... we may... only by slowing down a bit, can we feel what a visual feast is! I believe the audience on the scene can only know that the ball went in... Too... too..." Is it inappropriate to say too fierce? The excited Fang Yang didn't know how to express it.

"Too exaggerated, too wonderful, simple, direct, and deadly. This is Henry's most direct evaluation of Zhao Gang's performance on the field. It is indeed pertinent."

Zhao Gang, who got up from the ground, faced the entire stand. He had never incited the emotions of the fans in Man City or Norwich. At this moment, his blood was surging. He stretched out his hands and kept driving the fans from bottom to top.

The rhythmic shouts covered the entire stadium.

Each time made Zhao Gang deeply moved.

This feeling is so wonderful.

Zhao Gang grabbed his jersey and gently kissed the team emblem.

This is what he wanted, to give himself and all Dragon Country fans happiness and excitement.

"Ah ha ha ha...!"

"Goal! Goal!!"

"666!!"

"Awesome or not!"

"Excited or not!"

"Do you have the shivers?"

"Just ask you if it's fierce??"

"Everyone stand up for me!!"

"Salute!!"

"Cry for me, all of you cry for me!!!"

The Dragon Country fans' barrage flooded the entire live broadcast room. In the middle of the day in England, many of Zhao Gang's loyal supporters were drinking beer and applauding non-stop.

"Whoa!!" An excited Man City fan stood up and looked surprised. This is too fierce.

Lippi clenched his fist and raised his hand.

Strong!

Fierce!

There is hope, there is a lot of hope!

He originally came to this muddy water for the sake of so much money.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.

Looking at this posture, it is very likely that they will go all the way and rush out of Asia.

Not only will the title of world-class coach be preserved, but it may even go a step further.

It is impossible to ruin his reputation in his later years. Maybe he can even usher in a second spring.

It has to be you, Xiao Zhao.

No need to worry, his state is always online, and he can stand up at any time.

The strongest, the most stable!

Stielike was not having a good time. His tactics had some mistakes.

Hwang Hee-chan, this defensive striker, doesn't seem to be very useful.

He didn't even manage to stop Zhao Gang for a second.

He let him pass with the ball easily, facing the center-back.

He receives the highest annual salary of all previous Stick Country national teams, 1.5 billion.

But his performance in this World Cup qualifier is not very good. He was suppressed by Iran. This change of formation completely failed again.

It's a bit difficult.

Stielike shook his head. No, this has nothing to do with his tactics.

Zhao Gang can play defensive midfielder, why can't you, Hwang Hee-chan?

That's because you are not good enough, and it has nothing to do with me, the coach.

The Stick Country players were a little frustrated, and the few on the defensive line were the most uncomfortable.

They were fooled.

Originally, they would have strictly guarded Zhao Gang and not given him a chance to shoot.

It was Wang Yongpo's brainless pass at the beginning of the game, without even looking at Zhao Gang, that made the Stick Country players think that this was Lippi's tactics, firmly crossing and creating chaos.

So after getting the ball on the wing, these defenders thought that the threat was in the penalty area at the first time.

As a result, Huang Bowen also made a feint, seemingly to cross, but he found Zhao Gang.

They were tricked.

The Stick Country players were both lost and angry.

After the kickoff in the center circle, the Stick Country abandoned their initially aggressive attacking style and began to stabilize the rhythm.
