Chapter 166 A Severe Test
After defeating the Bohai team, St. Friedom was considered to have passed the first difficulty after the car accident, and they coped well.

After this game, they have a week's rest, and they will face the Red Owls again on the weekend.

This is the second meeting between the two sides after the cup match on August 8. If the second round of the cup match at the end of last month is counted, they will have to face Shanghai Red Owl three times in more than a month.

In the meeting at the beginning of the season, St. Friedom sat at home and struggled for more than 90 minutes, but was finally defeated by Shanghai Red Owl.

Although he saved a little bit of face in the cup match before, and had a difficult away draw against Shanghai Red Owl, but if it weren't for the mistakes made by the players of Shanghai Red Owl, everything would be hard to say.

This time in the Football Super League, St. Friedom will go to an away game against the Shanghai Red Owls. In order to deal with the lack of main players, Chen Shixiong has been honing a new formation these days.

According to Chen Shixiong's thinking, the reason why the original St. Friedom lineup can have strong control and offensive power is inseparable from the help of a complete offensive trident.

Referring to the last game against the Bohai team, the role of the incomplete offensive trident has been reasonably demonstrated.

The answer is an incomplete offensive trident, unable to oppress the opponent in the frontcourt, resulting in high pressure in the midfield and difficulty in launching the offense.

Even if they win the game, considering that the strength of the Bohai team is weaker than that of the Shanghai Chixiao team, the formation must be changed.

His final strategy is to change the position of 433 to 4231, let Kong Pengyu and Wu Xi both retreat, arrange Xu Wenli in the middle, Sha Lang plays a single forward, Ke Xinxing and Fang Zheng partner with double midfielders, The back line will not change.

The type of Chen Shixiong's 4231 lineup is more defensive, and he also specially trained on the initiation and application of defensive counterattacks in training.

For this round of the league, Chen Shixiong didn't dare to lose points. Once they lost points, their advantage of holding on to the leading group in the standings would be narrowed. This is also a good opportunity to chase points.

Since they have been standing behind the leading group for a long time, Chen Shixiong felt that they should try to give it a go.

As for the Red Owl team in the capital, there was also a small problem with their offensive trident.Originally the main right winger Bao Zihao was injured in the World Cup qualifier against Iraq and is still recuperating. He will not be able to participate in this game.

However, their coach still insists on the formation of 343, and the style of total defense will not change.

The day before the game, the press conference of the coaches of both sides.

"Of course, Bao Zihao is a very good player, and his injury is something that the entire team does not want to see." The coach of the Shanghai Red Owls said, "But we are confident that we can beat any team. We have a group of Same good players..."

"Yes, there is an important player in Shanghai Red Owl who is injured," Chen Shixiong answered the same question, and the reporter asked about Bao Zihao's injury, "but they also have many other outstanding players. A traditional strong team, there is no doubt about it."

Compared with the self-confidence of the head coach of Modu Chixiao, Chen Shixiong is relatively low-key, and his attitude is very humble.

"We wish Bao Zihao a speedy recovery. We will not rejoice or think about anything else because of his injury. We must do our job well." Chen Shixiong added.

Most of the questions asked by the reporters were considered from the perspective of the Shanghai Red Owl team. They did not think that St. Friedom would have the ability to shake the hegemony of the Shanghai Red Owl team.

Last time, the No. 7 player's mistake was one of the main reasons for the draw, and the Shanghai Red Owl team has always kept it in mind.

At that time, there was a period of low ebb after the mistake of No. 7, but he has recovered and continued to gain the trust of the head coach.

Facing St. Friedom again this time, he got the chance to start again, and he is bound to redeem his mistakes in the previous game in this game.

St. Friedom's starting lineup is the same as in the last game against Bohai. Not surprisingly, they will play according to the 4231 formation that Chen Shixiong has trained for these days.

Because of St. Friedom's previous "fluke" victory, they were booed by fans in the Red Owl Stadium when they entered the stadium.

Chen Shixiong emphasized the patience of the players more than before. Although he also pays attention to this point on weekdays, the players can feel that feeling deeper than before.

This kind of formation, this kind of strategy is the performance of Chen Shixiong not daring to fight against the devil Chi Xiao in this game. If he fights against them with the current lineup, St. Friedom will suffer too much.

"Ask him for me, how is he recovering?" Chixiao's coach called a translator and asked Chen Shixiong. During the simple handshake and conversation between the head coaches of the two teams before the game, he was concerned about Chen Shixiong's recovery after the car accident.

"This?" Chen Shixiong pointed to a scab on his face, "It's almost done, thank you for your concern."

"He said you are quite humorous, but we will not make it easy for you in today's game." The translator said.

"Haha, then thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn." Chen Shixiong and the coach of Shanghai Chixiao looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to their respective command areas.

At the start of the game, the Shanghai Red Owl team took the lead to kick off, and the crimson Red Owl Stadium stands were filled with cheering crowds of fans.

The Shanghai Red Owls showed a strong attacking posture at the start of the game. As soon as the ball was passed to Gadlin's feet behind the center circle, there was a "six arrows" in the frontcourt, including the midfielder Foster. All six players crossed the half.

After making some adjustments, Gadlin directly drove the ball to the left side of the frontcourt, which was the area defended by Xu Jundao and Chen Yang.

Mi Du rushed to the front, and Gadlin's long pass was also coming for him. He attracted both Xu Jundao and Chen Yang, and Fang Zheng filled the vacancy in the center back position.

Chen Yang made some small movements, he pulled the corner of Mi Du's clothes, while Xu Jundao jumped up in front of Mi Du to fight for the header with him.

It has to be said that Midu's bounce is indeed at the top of the Super League. Even with the interference of the two, he managed to win the ball and ferry it to the attacking left flank.

After the ball hit the ground, there were no players from St. Friedhom to destroy it. No. 7, who was caught up, shot directly and deliberately hit the far corner, making it difficult for Lin Ce to pounce.

Lin Ce couldn't make a save. The speed of the ball was relatively fast. When the ball slid past him, he could only chase it with his eyes.

Unfortunately, the goal was not scored, and it slid across the entire area in front of the goal and flew out of the baseline, which made St. Friedom heave a sigh of relief.

"Ah!" Number 7 first hugged his head, then raised his arms and shouted, he was eager to do something in the game.

"Hey! Calm down, you!" Mi Du came from the side and stopped him, "It's just started, why panic! Your feet are not bad at all!"

"My mine." No. 7 raised his hand and nodded.

Less than a minute after the start of the game, Chi Xiao of the Demon Capital had already kicked the goal. Their offensive was too fierce!
