Lvyin Fengmo

Chapter 186
"CIAO, FENG!"

Lu Feng, who returned to Italy, unexpectedly met his neighbor Klose during his morning jog.

The nearly two-month veteran finally got out of the hospital bed and started recovery training.

Lu Feng spelled out simple sentences with crappy Italian words, and asked the German striker:

"Is it in good condition?"

Klose nodded:
"The team doctor told me that I can now participate in the official game."

Lu Feng smiled:
"That's really good!"

He joined Lazio for nearly two months, but he hasn't practiced with Klose for even a second!
-
Since the Chinese team only had one game in this international competition week, Lu Feng returned earlier than other teammates, which gave him a rare extra rest time.

But he only rested for half a day, adjusted his physical condition a little, and then returned to training.

After all, Lazio is not a wealthy family, and with many veterans, there are not many who are really the main international players. Therefore, the head coach Pioli is not worried that the FIFA virus will affect the team's state.

The only thing he has to worry about now... is Klose's position.

Lu Feng has already used 6 goals in 20 games to prove his core position in the team. Even if Klose returns to his peak, he will not be able to shake this scoring machine with an average of 3.33 goals per game!

Of course, two forwards can play at the same time, one high and one fast is a common striker combination, but the problem that comes with it is... This will inevitably weaken the team's overall defense.

Klose is 37 years old, and his physical fitness has already declined in an all-round way. Lu Feng's defense has almost no effect except to eat cards. In addition, the players in the backcourt are generally too old. Of course, it is no problem to deal with the underdogs, but If you really want to encounter super teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, and Juventus, as well as Liverpool, Dortmund, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and other pressing madmen, this problem will become very serious.

Pioli deserves to be a softie. He thought about it for a whole week, then called the two players to his office, and threw this question to them...

"I've never turned down defensive responsibilities, but you know, I don't have the defensive DNA..."

Lu Feng shrugged helplessly.

What he said is true, all his talents seem to be on the offensive side, and on the defensive end, apart from relying on plug-ins to compete for two headers, it is really difficult for him to help the team.

His attitude is very correct, but defense does not only require a positive attitude and running all over the field. Sometimes, if a forward player does not grasp the timing of returning to defense, it will disrupt the overall rhythm of the defense and give teammates What a waste of time...

For example, Drogba actively returned to defense in the 2012 Champions League semi-final, and then directly gave Barcelona a penalty kick, which almost made Chelsea completely desperate.

Fortunately, Messi, who took the penalty kick, hit the crossbar with one foot, and this was the last scene where Torres rode thousands of miles alone to kill the game.

And in the same game, Torres, who switched to left back, actually had a negative effect on defense. Not only did he lose his defensive position many times, but he also caused Barcelona to counterattack because of the sticky ball under his feet, but... the vast majority of fans I can only remember that he caught up with his teammate's big foot to clear the siege with a speed beyond the camera, and then jumped over Valdez in a cool and light way!

Pioli suddenly connected.

He patted his thigh, and his frown gradually relaxed:
"What a fool I am!"

Lu Feng and Klose looked at each other dumbfounded.

I saw Pioli shook his head:
"As long as you keep scoring goals and the defense concedes two or three ... what does it matter?"
-
Klose's return has added some changes to Lazio's somewhat monotonous tactics. Although the German's physical fitness is far from that of his youth, his experience and skills still allow other teammates to learn a lot.

He no longer has a strong ability to bounce and stay in the air, and his famous header scoring ability has also dropped a lot, but he still handed over the data of 40 goals and 16 passes in 9 games last season, creating his highest score in Lazio. season record.

Lu Feng will indeed snatch most of the firing rights, but his presence also relieves Klose of a lot of defensive pressure-compared to the old German who is about to retire, 90% of the attention of defenders and goalkeepers will be concentrated on With the Blue Eagle No. 1 in the limelight, Klose will get more space to attack.

When everyone ignores Klose, it is the moment for the veteran to shine! -
On October 10, the 17th round of Serie A started in full swing.

"After a wonderful national team match day, the eyes of the world have returned to the club. For Lazio fans, the biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly the veteran Klose who has returned from injury. Germany, who has been away from the game for two months The striker appeared in the starting lineup for the first time this season, and his partnership with Lu Feng is very exciting."

He Wei, who did not comment on the Chinese team's game in the middle of the week, looked very calm.

His partner is Zhang Lu, an old man in Serie A:

"Although Lu Feng's offensive power is already very strong, we still hope that he can learn something from the old Jianghu and use it to further improve himself..."

He Wei glanced at him and asked him curiously:
"Zhang Zhi, what do you think Klose has that Lu Feng lacks?"

Zhang Lu's body froze slightly, then he laughed:

"Hey Hey……"

He scanned the live broadcast screen and finally found an answer:
"For example, Lu Feng should learn from Klose in this aggressive fight in the frontcourt!"
-
Lazio's opponent is Sassuolo, who has just been promoted to Serie A two years ago. They are fighting hard every year for the great cause of relegation. Although this game is their home game, Sassuolo did not hesitate. Set up an iron barrel array.

Even without Lu Feng, Sassuolo's strength is definitely not at the same level as Lazio's!

Only by relying on defensive counterattacks can we retain a little hope in this game!
Their tactics were 100% correct and they worked quickly.

Less than 6 minutes into the game, Sassuolo got a chance to counterattack. Forward Berardi went straight to Longtan, but was kicked into the penalty area by full-back Lulic when he cut inside!
The horse and three-color stadium that can only accommodate [-] spectators boiled instantly!

They got a penalty kick worth thousands of dollars!

The 21-year-old "Green Beibei" stood at 12 yards. Although Sassuolo is just a big fish, they have superstars coveted by the whole of Italy and even European football.

Berardi was promoted to Serie A with the team. In his first Serie A season, he surrendered a "double-double" of 29 goals and 16 passes in 12 games; after entering the second season, he was targeted by everyone. Under the circumstances, he still played a double-double of 32 goals and 15 passes in 10 games!

In addition to the top three in Serie A, Juventus, Milan, and Inter, European giants such as Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool have offered him an olive branch, but the young striker chose to continue training at Sassuolo.

Berardi lived up to his reputation and made it 1-0 by tricking Lazio goalkeeper Marchetti with a clever scoop penalty!

He broke his long scoring drought since the new season, and then used a passionate kneeling celebration, which attracted a tsunami at home.

Lu Feng, who just scored 8 goals a week ago, looked at Berardi who slid and knelt for more than ten meters in the corner flag area, with obvious disdain on his face.

If you score a goal, you have to slide and kneel once. My knees are already scrapped by now!
