Greenery on the back

Chapter 42 Two Firsts
Assistant Coach Li called Yue Feng and Jiang Zimo over alone, "You two are defenders and form a team. You need to communicate more with each other, and you must not play dumb football!"

After listening to the coach's guidance, Yue Feng suddenly understood a lot.He returned to his position, ready to start the second contest.

This time, Liang Shihao changed his tactics and chose to run to the sideline, preparing to go to the bottom.Of course, Yue Feng couldn't allow the opponent to make a cross, so he dashed to stop it.

Liang Shihao saw Yue Feng rushing towards him, made a cross pass and handed the ball to center Sun Chen.After receiving the ball, Sun Chen didn't go to the middle, but ran the same route as Liang Shihao last time, at the intersection of the defensive area between Yue Feng and Jiang Zimo.

"Yue Feng, give him to me!" Jiang Zimo shouted out first, and he quickly ran in front of Sun Chen, ready to intercept.

Sun Chen looked at Jiang Zimo who was running, showing a faint smile, and when the opponent rushed over and hadn't stood still, he kicked the ball to the opponent's back.

Seeing Sun Chen pass the ball like this, Jiang Zimo was also at a loss. Could there be an opponent player behind him?Jiang Zimo was attracted by the football rolling backwards, turned his head and stopped to look.

At this moment, Liang Shihao, who was staying in the left side of Yue Feng's defense, suddenly made a high-speed oblique thrust, entered the defensive range of the central defender, and ran behind Jiang Zimo.

"Oops! It's a trick!" Seeing Liang Shihao rushing over suddenly, Jiang Zimo was momentarily at a loss.Should he continue to defend Sun Chen, or should he chase after Liang Shihao behind him?

Liang Shihao took the pass from his teammate and continued to slant towards the goal, looking for a chance to shoot.But at this moment, a figure flying like lightning suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's Yue Feng!" Liang Shihao felt that something was wrong, the other party was too fast, and he started it one step ahead of him, but he was still chased up.

It turned out that Yue Feng just saw Liang Shihao running towards the goal, so he gave up his defensive area and followed his opponent to the middle of the penalty area.

He stared closely at Liang Shihao's legs, constantly controlling his steps.Although Yue Feng tried his best to avoid physical collision with the opponent, Liang Shihao felt very uncomfortable just following up like a haunted ghost.

"Shoot! If you don't shoot, there will be no chance." Seeing that the goalkeeper Ren Bohang had rushed out, Liang Shihao kicked decisively.

But what Yue Feng was waiting for was this opportunity. He aimed at the opening of the opponent's kick, stretched his legs to hook the football, and took advantage of the trend to go back and break the ball from Liang Shihao's feet.

Liang Shihao swung his foot in vain, very annoyed.

"This is a good job filling in the area!" Assistant Coach Li shouted on the field.

Over-area filling, as the name suggests, is to cross one's own defensive area to cover the area of ​​​​a teammate.

"Zone defense is not about locking everyone in their own area. You must know how to assist your teammates in defense. Yue Feng did a good job just now. Remember, not conceding the ball is the major premise of defense." Assistant coach Li continued to explain to everyone .

Of course, Yue Feng didn't know what "overstepping" was. He just thought that Liang Shihao was a dangerous person and he couldn't be allowed to run to the door.Unexpectedly, by mistake, he completed a beautiful defensive task.

After the training, Assistant Coach Li concluded: "Man-to-man defense and zone defense have their own advantages and weaknesses. If you stick to man-to-man, you will let the opponent mess up the entire defense through running positions. If you stick to the zone , it will form a situation where the opponent fights one more in a small area."

"So we need to combine the two in actual defense. Always remember, you are not alone, not alone! You are a team! Help each other and complete the defensive task together!"

"Yes!" All the eighth middle school team members answered in unison. The shouts shook over the campus, and the sunset gradually faded with the voice.

Football depends on the team, individual ability is only to make the team stronger.This concept has penetrated into the minds of every player, including Yue Feng.

Returning to the locker room from the court, Tang Chuan finished changing and packed his sports backpack. Seeing that Yue Feng hadn't changed into his school uniform, he asked, "Huh? Aren't you going home for a while?"

Yue Feng grabbed the school uniform jacket and put it on the outside of the ball uniform, "I'll go to the gym to practice again."

Seniors in the third year of high school will have to study by themselves in the evening, and the teaching building will not close until 10:30 in the evening.

Since Yue Feng went to the fitness room, he often soaked in it.Especially in the last confrontation with Liang Shihao, he suffered from a weak body, and he wanted to train his body as strong as before as soon as possible.

"Seven points for training, three points for eating. If you can't keep up with your nutrition, no matter how much you exercise, it's useless." Fatty Dong walked over without knowing when.

He took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it to Yue Feng. "This is a nutritious recipe I asked a friend to design for you. It is designed according to the eating habits of top European professional players and us Chinese people. Tell your family to try to eat like this in the future."

"The coach is eccentric, I want this too!" Tang Chuan puffed up his cheeks.

"You, let's lose weight first." Coach Dong said with a smile.

"Isn't the coach also a fat man? Who said fat people can't play well? I want to be the Ronaldo of the fat world."

"I was not like this when I was young, haha." Coach Dong pinched his stomach.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of September, high school has monthly exams every month.This first monthly exam shows how well the students have adapted to high school studies.

According to the practice for many years, every student in the class will be assigned a student number after the school starts, and this student number is the ranking of their senior high school entrance examination results.

School Committee Jiang Huaqing is naturally No. 1, and No. 2 is Yang Yiwei, a math class representative.Yue Feng ranked relatively low, exactly 40th, and the bottom one in the class was Han Zheng, the midfielder of the school team with student number 48 and a project student.

It is said that the ranking of students in each class at the end of the third year of high school will be a major subversion of the student number.

But for the first monthly exam, the changes should not be too shocking.Looking at the report card posted next to the blackboard, Zhang Nana found her position: No. 22.Compared with when she entered school, this was one rank earlier.

She trotted to Jiang Huaqing's side, pulled the other's arm playfully, and scolded with a smile: "You little devil, why are you number one again? You got such a high score in the test, it's simply too cruel."

Jiang Huaqing smiled slightly, pretending to be angry and said, "Is there anyone who praises you so much?"

"Do you want to celebrate after school?" Zhang Nana asked with wide eyes.

"No, I have a foreign teacher's spoken English class tonight." Jiang Huaqing showed the reserve that a top student should have at this moment.

"Well, I still want to eat ice cream together." Zhang Nana was a little disappointed, but she didn't make things difficult for her best friend anymore.

The two were chatting and laughing there, but they didn't realize that on the seat not far behind them, a gel pen held in someone's hand was firmly stuck on the notepad.
