Chapter 393 Questionable Pass
Tong Hu didn't know if Jiang Lihai's career would end, but his career was just the first step.

They have entered the lower half, and each half has ten teams. Of course, they must also participate in the FA Cup, but no one cares about this cup, after all, these are all in the pockets of the Chinese League One.

The first game is the knockout round, and the system is promoted all the way. The two first points in the upper half and the lower half will get the second place.

First of all, they met the Hunan Tofu Team, which is a very happy team name. Tong Hu even heard that their team owner is a tofu processor, especially the stinky tofu that people like to eat.

As for why I was able to enter here, it is because there is a very good professional player and his apprentice. Of course, this professional player retired from the Chinese Premier League.

It was the first time for Tong Hu to play against a Chinese player, especially if the opponent was also a defensive player, and his apprentice Song Maozhi was a tall player with good header and defense.

"Damn it, get out of the way..."

In the penalty area, Song Maozhi pushed away the Baofeng players around him impatiently, and jumped high. Fortunately, the position of the top of the ball was not good and he didn't push it in. Even so, everyone was shocked.

Is that a human body? Surrounded by three people, none of them could restrain him.

Qin Huo looked at his apprentice and smiled. This is the apprentice he chose. Not only can he rely on his own body when defending, but he is also invincible even in the header competition in the penalty area.

Huang Xiao, the core of the Baofeng team's offense, has been trying to surpass others, but every time he may have a good opportunity, he is fouled by the old Chinese player next to him, as if seeing Tong Hu again.

Tong Hu was also very surprised and did not expect that there would be someone of the same type as him.

In this game, Tong Hu had fouled as many as [-] times, while Qin Huo, who had more fouls than him, only got seven times. Many times, the skills he used made it difficult for the referee to make a penalty.

But sometimes in football, it is not determined by the number of fouls, and it is not always possible to win the game. Because of Song Maozhi's reasons, his teammates kept sending him high-altitude balls and let him shoot with headers. With such a striker.

And he was able to find him several times, but Song Maozhi failed to seize the opportunity. Until the end of the game, it was also a draw, and the two sides entered a penalty shootout.

Many fans noticed in this game that the team made a lot of crosses during the game.22 crosses were reached.However, there was no goal scored through a cross, even for the Baofeng team. This made Tong Hu suddenly wonder, is the tactic of holding high and playing high is useless?
Regardless of whether the opponent has Song Maozhi, a player with good physical fitness, who can be more domineering in the Baofeng team's penalty area, or whether the Baofeng team uses crosses to find the [-]th area high, but the goals are often not these.

In this era, Tong Hu began to think about whether wingers hoisting the ball into the penalty area is an effective tactic?
In fact, in the football world, not everything can be understood by ordinary people.Think of the tension between Crystal Palace and Brighton, or the FIFA accounts, or Steve McLaren's haircut.Most puzzling of all, however, is why does everyone think the easiest way to score a goal is to smash the ball over the striker's head from 50 yards out?You have to know that in order to form a cross into a shot, the forwards need to exert their full strength and adjust their direction while in the air, and they may not touch the ball at all. Heading the ball is really a technical job.

Yet crossings are to football what doping scandals are to cycling: the two are inseparable.Every team in the world plays crosses, and even if they're not good at it, they enjoy it.Even if you have enough OUT, you must have heard the saying: "pass the ball to the goal!"

In open play in Premier League games, an average of every 92 crosses produces a goal.In other words, all teams in the four levels of professional leagues in England will cross once per team, and only one team will score.

Moreover, 92 of the 73 crosses that went directly into the penalty area could not find their teammates accurately, which means that 4/5 of the crosses meant that the possession of the ball was handed over to others.

So the question is, why do almost all teams insist on this kind of offensive method similar to luck?How did the cross ball tactic become a regular offensive method at home?Even if the proportion of crosses in contemporary football has been reduced, should this simple and crude tactic be eliminated by history?
Just like art, it is difficult to say exactly when the biography of the Qing Dynasty appeared.What can be determined, however, is that the most widely used tactic in football was not invented by someone in the early days of the game, but has a deeper historical background.

At first, the rules of football stipulated that players could only pass back or cross - just like Tom Cleverley, then in the 19th century, dribbling became the mainstream, and players with outstanding personal ability would even pass the ball directly. Take it into the goal.When a defender pounces on the ball carrier, the ball carrier finds that a cross-court pass gives the receiver enough time to handle the ball so they can adjust their pace and continue dribbling.

Now we call this kind of ball a wide-range transfer. In the 2-3-5 formation in ancient times, there was a winger on each wing of the team, so that the team's offense would naturally not lack width.Back then it was like playing a game of fetch with a dog that annoyed you—you kicked the ball far, far away and then watched the defender panting after it.

Andrew Wilson, a Scotland international in the early 20th century who played as an inside left forward, is Sheffield Wednesday's appearance record holder and goal record holder. He said: "If you pass the ball to me with a big kick, the opposing defenders It’s going to be confusing because they’re good at limiting the ball-handling attackers, but they’re often overwhelmed when they’re faced with these out-of-the-box passes.”

The cross is one of the necessary manifestations of this tactic.In the 1888 FA Cup final, West Bromwich Albion relied on this long-ball strategy in their surprise victory over title favorites Preston, and winger Bassett was brilliant.

It is worth mentioning that the wingers of Bassett's generation are accustomed to dribbling the ball to the corner flag area and then sending a cross, but Bassett has a more unique opinion. He believes that the winger should quickly insert and rush to the defense Accurate and quick crosses before players are positioned are more threatening.Nowadays, it is commonplace for wingers to advance at high speed and send crosses when defenders face their own goal.

Especially England is deeply in love with the cross ball, which has become a symbol of England. Tong Hu and his team often learn from England, or European football. They have not hired foreign coaches yet. Everyone likes this tactic.

In the 40s and 50s, traditional wingers became popular in England, and great wingers such as Stanley Matthews and Tom Finney emerged. However, the blind pursuit of wingers also caused a wrong direction for player selection. Star wingers are favored and proud, while players in other positions are underappreciated.The original advantage turned into a disadvantage.

The England team did not perform well in the 1950 World Cup, and in 1953 they lost at home to the Eastern European iron cavalry Hungary. Regarding this series of defeats, Matthews actually said: "I think the team's defeat should be attributed to the coaching competition. The previous tactics were improperly arranged...you can't tell the stars how to play." See, losing the game is not my problem.

Sir Elf Ramsey led England to their first and so far only World Cup trophy in 1966 with "no-wing tactics".In 1965 before the World Cup, Sir Ramsey once said: "It is too extravagant to have two players always standing on the wing, and it will eventually make the team look like nine against eleven."But his tactics did not carry over.

The English people's preference for crossing the ball has continued into the new millennium-thinking back 10 years ago, the English team still refused to change, or every reform was just a taste of it, and every team would use it to get a left-footed winger. Do your best.Even now, although the living space of the traditional winger has been eroded by the false number 9 and the reverse foot winger, the children of England are still practicing crossing from an early age. Its importance is second only to shooting training, and the England national The goals scored by the team in the last 9 major games have all come from wide crosses.

Since English games have often become textbooks, although Serie A is now the mainstream, that kind of high-frequency defense is simply a fantasy for amateur teams, so many amateur coaches like to play high.

Although the opponent Song Maozhi kicked a penalty kick to win the game this time, Tong Hu wanted the team to change this style of play even more. Of course, although he realized it, the first thing he wanted to change was the coach. This level.
