Center

Chapter 134
Cai Sheng clenched his fists—he was indeed fooled. He originally planned to use a free kick to break the deadlock, but the opponent took advantage of this and instead took the lead with a quick counterattack!
It seems that the opponent even chose the location of the foul!The distance is relatively far, but it is enough to threaten the opponent's goal. It is precisely because of this that the Qingdao players did not choose to hit the goal directly but passed the ball into the penalty area, which directly led to the weakness of the backcourt. If the opponent's quick counterattack after the siege had not been practiced, it would be impossible to be so proficient!
Now there is a big problem.

If you fall behind, you must attack. For the current Qingdao Haifeng, the so-called goal difference is meaningless at all. The consequences of losing one goal are the same as losing ten goals.

But based on the current striker's ability, isn't offense just about giving the opponent enough chances to counterattack?Du Zhenyu and Wan Ruike of the opponent are both fast players with strong individual combat ability. If they can't suppress the opponent with offense, they will only be killed by the opponent's counterattack one after another.

Changchun Asia-Pacific will not only focus on this game, they still have several heavyweight games to play in the following games, and they definitely hope to use the least effort to defeat themselves-this may be an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Cai Sheng looked at Long Bisheng without any hesitation: "Long Bisheng! Go warm up! Get ready to play!"

Long Bisheng raised his head violently. He didn't expect the opportunity to play so soon, but he didn't react so slowly this time. After hearing clearly that Cai Sheng was indeed calling himself, he nodded immediately and rushed out of the bench.

It's summer now, and he has already put on his jersey and shoes, so he can warm up directly.

Cai Sheng only gave him 1 minute to warm up. When he returned to the sidelines, the game had not yet restarted. When the Changchun Asia-Pacific players were celebrating, Qingdao Haifeng had already applied to the fourth official for a substitution.

"Qingdao Haifeng asked for a substitution...Ricardo on the 11th, Long Bisheng on the 32nd..." The host of Changchun TV frantically flipped through the information, but the information at hand was really limited: "Long Bisheng, Qingdao Haifeng is a rookie who was loaned from the Yunjia Tianyu Youth Team at the end of the summer transfer period. He is a striker and his height is... 95 meters (the host exclaimed)! He weighs 17 kilograms. Judging by the statistics, he seems to be a heavy tank player, but he is only [-] years old! Will China also produce a Jan Kohler-style center?"

"That depends on his ability." The guest laughed: "Playing football is not playing basketball, height does not determine everything."

Long Bisheng stood on the sidelines, waiting for the foreign aid Ricardo to run towards him. After hugging him, Long Bisheng ran onto the field.

His height made the Changchun fans at the scene exclaim. After all, it is quite rare to see a player taller than two meters on the football field. Although they couldn't directly observe Long Bisheng's height from the stands, the information about Long Bisheng reported by the on-site commentator was enough to make them exclaim.

Standing at the kick-off point, Long Bisheng couldn't help but smiled bitterly—when can he rely on other things other than his own height to get the exclamation of others?But now no one is familiar with me, so I have to use my performance on the field to prove that what I have is not just height!

************************************************
After the game restarted, Changchun APAC’s offense was not as stormy as it was in the first half and just now. Their physical energy was also consumed very quickly in the previous offense, and as Cai Sheng judged, Changchun APAC’s focus is not just this game. Against a "underdog" like Qingdao Haifeng, the most important thing is how to get three points in the most affordable way.

They did not launch a frenzied press in the midfield like just now, but launched an interception after Qingdao Haifeng's offense entered the half court, which saved some energy and also allowed Qingdao Haifeng to pass the ball smoothly through the half court.

After halftime, Qingdao Haifeng began to use Lu Baozi's personal ability to break through, but Changchun Asia-Pacific's defense is not weak. Such a personal breakthrough can't achieve any effect. After Long Bisheng came on the field, he rarely received passes from his teammates. Long Bisheng's height advantage was also unable to be used.

Cai Sheng quickly discovered the problem. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he called out captain Liu Ziyan to say a few words. Liu Ziyan nodded, and immediately reached out for the ball after running into the court.

Liu Bin immediately passed the ball to him. When Liu Ziyan dribbled the ball forward, he was blocked by the opponent's defender. He passed the ball to Liu Bin behind him, and then ran forward. Seeing that the captain got rid of the opponent's defense, Liu Bin immediately made another direct pass and hit the ball to Liu Ziyan's feet.

After Liu Ziyan took the ball, he saw that no one came up to defend him immediately-now Liu Ziyan has just passed halftime, and this distance seems to be a safe distance.

No one thought that Liu Ziyan didn't take the ball to continue forward, but directly passed the ball into the penalty area with a big kick!

Long Bisheng jumped up high in the penalty area, and still won the header under the attack of the opponent's two central defenders Zhang Baofeng and Liu Cheng, a powerful head shake!

Goalkeeper Yang Jun made a beautiful save and held the ball out of the baseline with one hand!

"Liu Ziyan directly passed the ball into the penalty area, and Long Bisheng, who just came on the field, forced a header! A beautiful save, Yang Jun saved the Asia-Pacific!" The commentator said with lingering fear: "The height of [-] meters is really not a display. This young player's impact is quite good!"

"We seem to have forgotten that Cai Sheng used to be the number one high center forward in China and even in Asia..." The guest next to him sighed: "Based on his experience, it does not seem to be a difficult task for a young player of the same height to play a role on the field, not to mention that this young man is from Yunjia Tianyu, who has the best youth training in the country..."

**************************************************
After this attack, the teammates confirmed Long Bisheng’s ability. Changchun Asia-Pacific’s two central defenders are not bad in height, both of which are 1.8 meters [-] in height. This height is enough for a defender. Any taller may cause inflexibility. However, in front of Long Bisheng’s height of [-] meters and excellent jumping ability, they seem to have no ability to resist.

In the next corner kick, Long Bisheng won the header again, but unfortunately this time the header was a little higher and flew out of the baseline by rubbing against the crossbar.

Liu Cheng knelt on the ground, looked at Long Bisheng who ran out of the restricted area shaking his head with a kind of horrified eyes - is this kid human?Just now, I have used all my breastfeeding strength to defend close to him and charge him, so that his center of gravity is a little unstable to push the ball up——Did I hear it right?This kid is only 17 years old?Obviously already has a better physique than many adult players!

"Be careful with this kid." Zhang Baofeng, his central defender partner, said in a deep voice, "This kid has a strong impact... It seems that there is no center forward with such an outstanding impact in the entire Chinese League.

Changchun Asia-Pacific's central defender partner is definitely top-notch in the Chinese Premier League. Even in the Chinese Super League, they are at least mid-range. Two defenders with a height of 1.8 meters [-], who can head the ball and bounce and turn around without slowing down are enough to deal with any forward.

Off the court, Cheng Jingang's eyes became slits—this Cai Sheng, did he really find a treasure in Yunjia Tianyu?At the beginning of the year, I also picked up a treasure in Yunjiatianyu, that is Changchun Asia-Pacific's current midfield offensive assaulter Du Zhenyu. This kid's offensive method is very simple, but he is very difficult to deal with.

Cheng Jingang is an excellent coach in the Chinese League One, but he couldn’t find a way to contain such a striker for a while. The reason is very simple. Before Long Bisheng came on the field, he didn’t know that there was such a player. Naturally, he couldn’t deal with it. The two central defenders are already the best defenders in Changchun Asia-Pacific for defending high-altitude balls.
While Cheng Jingang was still thinking, Qingdao Haifeng had already found his own rhythm on offense.

With the previous two experiences, Qingdao Haifeng's offense will be much easier. Anyway, it is a direct long pass to Long Bisheng's head. Long Bisheng has excellent header ability.

Under Qingdao Haifeng's unskilled long pass and Long Bisheng's unreasonable collision, Changchun Asia Pacific, which has the most national players in the Chinese Premier League, was suddenly helpless by Qingdao Haifeng's simple and rough style of play.

Cai Sheng watched happily from below, and he recalled his peak period in a trance. At that time, he used this kind of collision to help the Chinese team defeat one opponent after another.
