There is a belief called football

Chapter 76 Donetsk continues to evolve
The seasoned Lucescu has realized that the players are not disobedient, but their level is just like this. For example, Costa, so far he can only be a qualified winger, and he can't do anything you ask for.

Lucescu can only take the next best thing and make some changes under the existing conditions. After all, Kiev's counterattack just now was very successful.

Whether the counterattack succeeds or fails has nothing to do with scoring goals, but whether you have played what the coach asked for. If you play the coach's tactics, then it is a success.

Lucescu knew very well in his heart that if he did not change it would be a dead end, so he made a decisive decision, but when he gave the order, the players did not understand it, and it could even be said that they resisted.

Lucescu's new tactic is "Shevchuk" to play the central defender, while the original central defender "Nikolita" advances to form a double midfielder with Srna, that is, the central defender replaces the sent-off midfielder.

And Dario is still the midfielder.

Since the two Brazilians, Costa and Lopez, like to attack so much, then you can play double forwards and go crazy.

Now Donetsk's formation has become 4-2-1-2.

We can only say that Lucescu's calculations are already very deep, and the current lineup has made up for the vacancy left by "John Young" being sent off.

Because when attacking, Dario, Lopez and Costa form an inverted triangle attack, while when defending, Dario and the two midfielders form a positive triangle.

Lucescu's ideal situation is that Dario can be used by two people alone. Of course, he doesn't know if the actual situation can be so optimistic.

And the second key is whether Shevchuk can play a good central defender?
At first glance, you may think that this is crazy, and the center forward plays a central defender, but what you need to know is that in modern football, when the team defends a set kick, the center forward must come back to help defend, and when the team gets a set kick, the central defender needs to go up and attack.

So Lucescu's tactics are theoretically feasible, but again, it depends on the individual level.

When Marsh saw Donetsk's rapid change, his heart tightened, and he thought: "After today's game, no matter whether I win or lose, I must leave the team and go on vacation for a month. I am really tired."

Some people may think that what I wrote is too exaggerated, but if you have watched the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Italy's first game against Ghana, Lippi changed frequently in a game, you will know that what I wrote is not exaggerated at all.

Modern football is indeed too complicated. You can’t see it through live TV. You can only know how difficult it is to be a coach by reading coaches, players’ autobiographies, or professional post-match commentary articles.

*****
After Donetsk's change of formation, "Dario" came back when defending, forming a defense of 4 defenders and 3 midfielders. All of a sudden, Donetsk's defensive strength was greatly improved.

The two Brazilians, Lopez and Costa, moved like ghosts in the frontcourt, which also made the Kiev players uncomfortable.

A good team is like this. You find the opponent's loopholes and take advantage of them. If you don't score, then the opponent will immediately make up for the loopholes next time. The direct consequence of Kiev's two failed sneak attacks is that the opponent will immediately become stronger.

Suddenly the situation became very delicate. Marsh was rubbing his chin, thinking about what to do next, and Lucescu was temporarily satisfied with his new arrangement.

But someone is dissatisfied, and that is the fans.

Fans don’t buy tickets to see your tactics. In fact, facing such a game, it’s better to go home and watch live TV. After all, when there is such a stalemate during live TV, there are also eloquent game commentaries to relieve your boredom.

For example, when some fans hear the voice of teacher Song Shixiong or Huang Jianxiang, it doesn’t matter how ugly the game is.

But to watch the football live is to watch the goals, play crowd, drink beer, you play lifelessly, the fans have no mood to drink beer.

So the whole audience, whether it was Kiev fans or Donetsk fans, stood up and booed wildly.

The U14 kid was booed by tens of thousands of people for the first time, and both sides made mistakes again and again. Marsh looked at his watch, and it was 30 minutes into the second half.

Lucescu also looked up at the big screen, 30 minutes, and he was thinking about something.

There is no overtime in the U14 game. If there is a tie, it will be a penalty shootout. The Football Association considers that children of this age will not be able to bear the extra time, so they have such an arrangement.

What was Lucescu planning at this moment?
He was planning for a penalty shootout. In this game, his main defensive midfielder "John Young" was sent off in the 37th minute of the first half. The team had one less player who persisted for more than half of the game. If it was dragged into a penalty shootout, it would be acceptable.

Another important reason is that in the training the day before the game, Lucescu saw Pyatov practicing penalty kicks.

Pyatov's reaction was quick and his judgment was very accurate. Lucescu thought that the team still had a certain advantage in being dragged into a penalty shootout.

Of course, Marsh can't accept such a situation. The team takes the initiative and leads in numbers. If they don't kill their opponents and are dragged into a penalty shootout, it can be said that they have failed.

Not only Marsh thought this way, but other Kiev players also knew that they could not enter the penalty shootout. They had to take advantage of the severe decline in the opponent's physical fitness and one less player to end the battle within 90 minutes.

But there is one person who is exactly the opposite of what everyone thinks, and that is Li Qiao. This is due to Li Qiao's father, Li Shan.

Every time he talked about this, Li Shan said it happily, so in Li Qiao's heart, he felt that it must be cool to stand on the penalty spot and decide the fate of the team with one kick.

He squinted at Pyatov and thought: "Baccio was against Taffarel back then, and today Li Qiao is against Pyatov." The more Li Qiao thought about it, the more excited he became, his mind became distracted after thinking about it, and he stopped in a daze.

"Joe, what are you doing?"
Li Qiao woke up at this time, and found that Marsh on the sidelines was already furious.

It turned out that the opponent seized a pass error by the team and made a desperate counterattack. At this time, Donetsk had 3 midfielders, and the two full-backs all overwhelmed the half-court, leaving behind 2 central defenders and Pyatov.

Obviously, although the opponent can accept a penalty shootout, it would be better if Kiev could be killed.

Seeing that everyone in Kiev went back to defend, Li Qiao was the only one who remained in front of the opponent's penalty area, so he ran back quickly.

Just when Li Qiao crossed the center line and quickly returned to defense with his head covered, the ball flew in front of him, "What's the matter?" Li Qiao thought to himself.

*****
It turned out that after Donetsk's 3 midfielders and 2 forwards all entered Kiev's penalty area, the ball was at the feet of Donetsk's right back "Jul".

Jule looked up and saw that it was a cross.

But the problem is that although there are many people in Donetsk, the air bully "Shevchuk" is not there. The quality of this low-level ball is still very good, but it is not the Donetsk player who hits the ball, but Kiev's defender "Zhzhov".

Then there was the scene just now, Li Qiao, who quickly returned to the defense, just happened to meet the football pushed out by Rizhof.

The situation is now very clear. There are only 30 people outside the 4-meter area in Kiev's half, Li Qiao, Shevchuk, Popa, and Pyatov.

*****
Li Qiao is a natural No. 9. He didn't stop the ball, but turned around in the direction of the ball's flight. Everyone knew what he was going to do next, but the Donetsk players knew that it was impossible to return to defense. They could only expect the three players of the team to solve Li Qiao.

Do you still remember the 98-year-old Irving who ran halfway in the French World Cup against Argentina in 18, passed "Ayala" and hit the contra-angle ball?

The current situation is very similar.

Li Qiao ran with the ball, and Shevchuk knew that he was a fake defender, so he went first, and the big Shevchuk went forward.

But Popa is a genuine defender. He knows that defense is all about cooperation. Shevchuk's behavior seems brave, but it is actually blind, so he immediately followed up to help defend and make up for it.

Sure enough, when encountering the clumsy Shevchuk, Li Qiao didn't need to make fake moves at all. He changed the line with a pass and forcibly overtook.

After changing the line and surpassing Shevchuk, Li Qiao faced Popa, who was also tall but with a higher defensive level.

What is the most important thing to excel?It means that the movements are coherent and done in one go, even if you stop for half a second, then the opponent is enough to react.

And Li Qiao seemed to be born with such a talent. When wading through Shevchuk, Li Qiao's ball was a bit too big, which seemed to be a mistake, but Li Qiao poked with his toe at the last moment, and it happened to wear "Poppa"'s crotch again.

Popa wanted to turn around and continue chasing back, but it was too late, so Li Qiao entered the penalty area and faced Pyatov.

Pyatov is a good goalkeeper, and when Popa hit Li Qiao, he had already started.

At this moment, Pyatov became ruthless, and he rushed towards Li Qiao quickly.

How close is Pyatov to Li Qiao at this time?Let's put it this way, Li Qiao can already clearly feel the air disturbance caused by Pyatov's pounce.

Just when his hand was about to pounce on Li Qiao, Li Qiao kicked the football with his left leg backwards. Then, his right foot and left foot cooperated to clamp the football, and finally threw it upwards.

Yes, back-heel flicks! ! !

It's just that what Li Qiao wants at this time is not to excel, but to shoot, yes, pick the ball with his back heel and shoot.

Just when Li Qiao finished shooting, Pyatov couldn't hold back anymore, and hit Li Qiao heavily.

Li Qiao and Pyatov hit the ground hard together. At this time, Li Qiao still looked up at the direction of the football flight. Li Qiao saw the ball going into the goal.
