All-around substitute

Chapter 288 On the Role of Substitutes
No matter how much life tortures you, you must go on living.

As it is in life, so it is on the field.

There are still 3 minutes to play in the first half, and the Chinese team will continue to fight.

"Come on! It's just a goal conceded! We haven't lost the game yet!"

Field captain Zheng Zhi clapped his hands vigorously to cheer for his teammates on the field.

Lost the ball?Lost of course!No player likes to see his team concede a goal, and neither does captain Zheng Zhi.

But nearly 20 years of career told Zheng Zhi that loss will only make the situation worse.What should be done now is to forget about this conceded goal, get back up and get into the game.

Zheng Zhi thought so, and did the same!This is why Zheng Zhi is the best football player in China in the past ten years.

Regardless of the technical and tactical aspects, Zheng Zhi's professionalism should be a place for all young players to learn.

Encouraged by Captain Zheng Zhi, the team members finally regained their mental state and returned to their combat positions as quickly as possible.

The game resumed, and after the ball was kicked out in the middle circle, the Chinese team tried to use the little time left to equalize the score.

But Uzbekistan, after leading, did not give the Chinese team such an opportunity. They huddled in their own half and used up the remaining time.

The Australian referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half. With the goal of central defender Ahmedov, Uzbekistan led the Chinese team 1-0. …

……

The locker room of the Chinese team.

"Who will explain how this conceded goal happened? In my impression, I have never taught you to defend like this!"

In the past 3 minutes, coach Kay stood in front of the tactical board and vented his dissatisfaction.

The players opposite Kay kept their mouths shut, lowered their heads and let Kay roar without moving.

They seemed to be used to this kind of scene, so they didn't take much interest in Kay's rant.

"God! What kind of team am I coaching? I swear this is the most disrespectful team I have ever seen! The most stupid players! Chinese football is a joke!"

Seeing the dead air in the locker room, Kai babbled a lot with a sad face, but Zhou Yi, who was beside him, stopped suddenly in the middle of the translation.

At this time, some players raised their heads. The only voice in the locker room was Kay, and Zhou Yi did not make a sound from the microphone, which made the players feel strange.

"What did the old man say?"

Sun Xiang, who is also the deputy team member of the Hengsheng team and the national team, spoke first.

"That's right! What are you talking about?" Several players echoed.

"Oh! Nothing! Nothing... huh..."

Zhou Yi laughed along with him. How could Zhou Yi dare to translate what Kai said was the truth? This group of people would have overturned the locker room if they said it.In addition, Kai's words also made Zhou Yi, who is a Chinese, find it hard to hear.

"There's nothing he can say so much?" Sun Xiang questioned.

Although there is a big difference between Chinese and Western languages, it is not likely that there will be a difference in the number of words in several sentences.

"What did the old man say? Did he say something you couldn't translate?"

"Did you scold us?"

The conjectures of several players made Zhou Yi terrified, and he couldn't contain the fire if he went on like this, and said hurriedly: "This...he...he said it too fast, I couldn't hear it clearly, it probably meant that you guys didn't play well Well, he's very dissatisfied...hehe...probably...that's it."

"Really?" Sun Xiang doubted.

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Of course! He...you don't know, just this temper!"

"Zhou! What are they talking about?"

Several players stood up and talked aggressively with Zhou Yi, Kay could have thought they were scolding him.But because Kai heard completely differently, he also asked Zhou Yi for confirmation.

"Oh! They think they are wrong, and they are asking you how to play in the second half!" Zhou Yi immediately turned around and explained to Kai.

"Really?"

Kay also expressed doubts. Didn't they respond to such scolding?The Chinese are simply incredible.

"Yes! They think your criticism is right! So now they are asking you for advice!"

"Ok!"

Zhou Yi had a sincere face and didn't look like he was telling a lie. Kai believed it [-]% and at the same time his anger also dropped [-]%.After scolding the player like this, the player is still not angry and admits his mistake to the head coach. Even if Kayi is hard-hearted, he is too embarrassed to continue scolding.

Kay calmed down, took a breath and slightly retracted his belly, making himself look more formidable, and said: "Next, I will explain to you how the second half of the game will unfold..."

"what?"

"Ok?"

As soon as Zhou Yi opened his mouth, the players in the locker room were very confused. They were still complaining just now, why did they start talking about tactics calmly all of a sudden?Is the old man out of his mind or something?

"Let's all concentrate!" Kay roared.

With Kay's roar, the players can no longer guess why Kay changed so quickly, and concentrate on listening to how Kay adjusts.

Kai's adjustment is not complicated. First, continue to restrict Uzbekistan's core Jeparov, let captain Zheng Zhi be in charge of special marking, and second, seek an offensive breakthrough.

For this reason, he decided to adjust two positions, the first to remove Wu Xi, and send another forward Yang Xu, and Hao Lin retreated to play a shadow forward position.The second was Yu Dabao, who was replaced by Sun Ke, who was faster and could go up and down.

Kay's substitution basically gave up the layer-by-layer play in the middle of the first half. Facts have proved that Wu Xi cannot replace Chen Tao, and Kay can be regarded as a kind of self-correction.

However, the players listened casually to Kay's substitution. Kay is going to resort to the tactic of bombing with a header from the wing.

The two fast horses on the wing break through the bottom or make a pass at a 45° angle, and the striker in front of the goal outflanks.

This tactic achieved good results in the early stage of the top 2. It reversed Singapore 1-1 and lost to Jordan 2-[-] away.

The fight was like a rainbow, and the offensive was like a tide, but the back-to-back losses to Iraq directly trampled this tactic into the mud, and Kay is a stubborn and stubborn old man.

Whenever he loses, he blames the player, saying that the player did not play what he wanted, so the loss is not due to his tactics but to the player's execution.

The 45° angle kick-off is indeed the best cross angle in theory, but this is only in theory. How many times in actual combat can a 45° angle pass score a goal?
The offensive side knows that 45° is a good angle, but the defensive side doesn't know it?A good 45° pass once or twice can be effective. Every attack is a routine. As long as the opponent is not a fool, he knows how to defend.

So as soon as Kai announced his adjustment plan, all the players felt that it was meaningless, repeating the same old tune, captain Zheng Zhi also let out a long breath, looking very helpless.

But he didn't say anything to Kay. He said everything that should be said before, it's useless!
Now Zheng Zhi also has only one idea, to do his best and obey the destiny...

……

After leaving the lounge, several players got together.

"This time I don't know who is responsible for the loss!"

"Who else can be, of course the substitute players! I've already thought about what Kai will say!"

"Hehe! How do you say it?"

"He will definitely say that during the intermission, I made corresponding adjustments according to the characteristics of Uzbekistan, but these substitute players did not complete the tasks I gave them! So it is a pity~"

"What's this called? This is called talking about the role of substitute players!"

The players coming out of the locker room in the player tunnel imitated Kay's appearance and imitated the post-match press conference.

Apparently they don't have any confidence in Kai's adjustments...

……

Players from both sides returned to the field, the Chinese team made two adjustments, while Uzbekistan did not change anything.

After the start of the second half, Uzbekistan, which led by one goal, strengthened their defense in the 30-meter area.

Facts can also understand Uzbekistan's thinking. It is the Chinese team that is anxious to lead by one goal, and they have no choice but to fight back with peace of mind.

When the Chinese team attacked the frontcourt, there was no good way to penetrate their defense.

In the face of their defense, the Chinese team only realized half of the two crossing schemes - long pass.

The 45° angle cross and the bottom cross are strictly restricted by Uzbekistan. The Chinese team can only hang into the penalty area through irregular angles.

With this irregular choice, the Chinese team's offensive effect was very poor. The two forwards Yang Xu and Hao Lin who were trapped in the siege couldn't get the ball at all.

Both Yang Xu and Hao Lin are not stand-up strikers. It is too difficult for them to grab a point in the crowd or directly attack the goal!
Therefore, the fans saw the scene of Hao Lin falling to the ground again and again, and the scolding of the soft-footed shrimp sounded over the workers' stadium again...

Seeing this scene, Kai on the sidelines also complained: "I fell down again! It's unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

He spun around a few times, and the sweat under his armpit soaked his sky-blue shirt into dark blue.Now the Chinese team hits the Uzbekistan penalty area over and over again, and then turns back after doing nothing. If things go on like this, they will inevitably suffer from physical problems. Once the physical fitness is not enough, it will be dangerous!
Kay turned around a few times but couldn't think of any good solution. He squeezed his chin, and suddenly the idea of ​​how to deal with the post-match press conference came to his mind.

He turned his head to look at Xu Zangyi on the substitute side, he already had an idea...

……

The Chinese team went on for about 10 minutes and didn't make any progress. They didn't even take a shot. It wasn't as good as the first half!
The attack was fruitless, but a lot of physical strength was lost.

Yu Han held the ball towards the side to prepare to break through, and he was panting heavily after going up and down many times.

Farouk Sefiye, who was facing Yu Hanchao, only fluctuated slightly, and his eyes were firmly locked on Hanchao's feet.

For this Chinese avant-garde who is not physically strong, Farouk Sefiye is still quite afraid.However, in the case of intense physical exertion in a short period of time, Farouk Sefiye was very confident in breaking Yu Hanchao's ball.

Yu Han pushes the ball towards the inside of his right foot, Farouk Sefiye moves…
