All-around substitute

Chapter 7 It's a mule or a horse

At the training ground of the reserve team of the Red Star Base, the players gathered early, and everyone knew that they were about to set off to challenge an opponent whose strength was far stronger than their own.There is excitement, there is anxiety, but more is apprehension.This is the first game after Red Star U18 was promoted to the reserve team, and the opponent was Heng Seng, who swept the reserve team league.

Xu Zangyi also came to the meeting place after a week of physical training.Unlike other teammates who care about their opponents, Xu Zangyi is excited because he came to the training ground for the second time.

Like the team members, Li Yi was excited and uneasy.This is also the first game since Li Yi took charge. If Red Star wants to beat the opponent, it has to pay more than the opponent.

In the morning training, after passing and receiving the ball between groups, there will be group confrontation.Li Yi was as usual, and there was no change because of the upcoming game.

"Okay, the players in the right position follow the coach and go to the training position for training." The assistant coach behind Li Yi stood up and said.

"Director Li, which group will Xu Zangyi be assigned to?" the assistant coach asked Li Yi and Xu Zangyi's position.

"Huh? Put it on the lower back first." Li Yi made arrangements after simple thinking.

"Okay," the assistant coach said to Xu Zangyi after receiving instructions, "Xu Zangyi, you practice with the midfielder."

Seeing that his teammates were led by their own coaches, Xu Zangyi found himself in a difficult situation. He had only participated in group confrontations before and didn't know who to fight.After hearing the assistant coach's instruction, Xu Zangyi showed joy, and trotted to catch up with the midfielder who left earlier.

"This kid seems to be fine." Li Yi looked at Xu Zangyi, and he didn't look nervous at all because of the competition.

"Brother Yi, did you forget? In the Star of Hope finals, this kid not only quarreled with the coach, but also fell asleep with his head covered!" Liu Tao talked about Xu Zangyi's off-court fun with Star of Hope.

"Oh, that's right. Don't be nervous, it's a good thing, a good thing!" After Liu Tao mentioned it, Li Yi recalled the scene of that day.What he said afterwards was not nervous, it was more like speaking to himself. …

……

"Add me, add me." Xu Zangyi caught up with the midfielder who was already in position.

Seeing the newcomer Xu Zangyi, he was placed in the lower back.Several people distanced themselves to make room for Xu Zangyi.

There were originally three players plus Xu Zangyi in the defensive midfielder position of the Red Star reserve team, which became four.Compared with other positions, the staff reserve is still sufficient.

With the addition of Xu Zangyi, the original triangle position became an irregular four-corner position, and he began to practice passing and catching the ball.

The original three defensive midfielders, because they have been training together all the time, they habitually pass the ball to each other.Xu Zangyi, who was in a good position, couldn't help being a little anxious when he didn't pass the ball for a long time.

"I, I," Xu Zangyi waved to the nearby teammates.

The player with the ball wanted to pass to the teammate on the opposite side, but when he saw Xu Zangyi waving for the ball, the player with the ball realized that the previous backward pass was all done among familiar people, and no pass was made to Xu Zangyi at all.Then he turned sideways and pushed the ball to Xu Zangyi.

Facing the incoming ball, Xu Zangyi had planned for a long time, and Xu Zangyi was ready to push the inside of his foot to the opposing teammate.

As before, Xu Zangyi swung his calf and hit the ball.After the ball was released, the speed of the ball was much faster than Xu Zangyi expected.

How could it be so fast!Seeing that the speed of the ball was different from usual, Xu Zangyi secretly said in surprise.

The catcher originally thought that Xu Zangyi would pass a moderately heavy ball.Unexpectedly, the speed of the ball was abnormally fast, and the catcher did not dare to neglect, and took a few steps back and stretched out his right foot to stop the ball.

At the moment of touching the ball, the ball was not firmly buckled under the feet as expected.Instead, it bounced into the air along the inside of the foot, and the catcher instinctively stretched out his hands before returning the ball to the ground.

After the ball hit the ground, it bounced a few times and rolled to the center of the court.

"Why are you so vigorous?" The receiver was dissatisfied with Xu Zangyi's pass.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing that the ball was difficult to control, Xu Zangyi hastily apologized to the players.

"I push very lightly, how can I go so much faster?" Could it be that this week, I did strength training?Xu Zangyi secretly guessed.

The player who did not catch the ball went to the court, kicked the ball out and served again.

Xu Zangyi, who had guessed, paid more attention to controlling his strength when receiving the pass.After passing the ball several times, Xu Zangyi deliberately reduced his strength, and the ball no longer rushed as before.The other players received Xu Zangyi's pass, not as easily as the pass between the three of them, but it was within the acceptable range.

After Xu Zangyi reduced his strength, he saw the ball reach his teammate's feet smoothly.This further confirmed Xu Zangyi's idea. After a week of strength training, the strength of his legs has been significantly improved.

After confirming the speculation, Xu Zangyi became more proficient in controlling his strength. According to the distance of his teammates, Xu Zangyi was able to deliver the ball accurately.The transfer between the four of them also went smoothly.After a few rounds, Xu Zangyi basically got used to the current leg strength.

At this time, Li Yi blew the whistle, and the group passed the whistle that the training was over. …

……

"Xiao Liu, go and get the vest." Li Yi gathered the players and ordered Liu Tao to bring the training vest to the field.

"Next, let's fight in groups! Those who read their names come up and get their vests."

"Liu Haiming, Zhang Tao, Li Yong, Wang Weitao, Jia Sheng..." Li Yi called out a series of names, and you all got yellow vests.

The players who got the yellow vests naturally cheered.Because of his ability, he was recognized by the coaches.Those who failed to get it felt a little lonely.

Except for Xu Zangyi in room 214, the other three people got yellow vests.

Looking at the happy faces of several people, it would be a lie to say that they are not envious.

"Those who get the yellow vests, go to the field and take a good position!" Li Yi directed the yellow vests to form a 4231 formation.

The side with the blue vest was formed into a 352 formation by Li Yi.Obviously, the blue side was simulated by Li Yi as the Hang Seng reserve team.

Xu Zangyi and the players who had been training together before were placed in the midfielder position.

"We meet again," Xu Zangyi greeted his teammates with a smile.

"En." The team member who was greeted was named Du Yunfeng, and when he heard Xu Zangyi's shout, he just responded.

Seeing that his teammates reacted coldly, Xu Zangyi was not discouraged either.He took the initiative to walk up to him and said hello again.

"Happy cooperation!" Xu Zangyi stretched out his right hand.

Zhao Yunfeng looked at Xu Zangyi who was smiling, and after a little hesitation, he shook hands with Xu Zangyi.

After the players took their positions, Li Yi signaled the start of the game.

The yellow side, according to Li Yi's request, only defends and does not attack.After the kick-off, tighten the front line, do not cross the half court easily, and exchange fire with the blue side.

The blue side, because there was no defensive pressure, unscrupulously attacked the yellow side's hinterland.

Li Yi hopes to use this method to simulate the game situation of the day.

Xu Zangyi is arranged as a defensive midfielder, so he rarely participates in offense.Just make a transitional pass on the outside, and after delivering the ball to the offensive player, Xu Zangyi has no more tasks.

Because the yellow side only defends and does not attack, Xu Zang is obviously doing nothing on the field.

Huang Fang's Liu Haiming and Jia Sheng kicked a little depressed.As an offensive player, he is always involved in defense, which is a bit of a waste of time.But this was the order of the coach Li Yi, and the two had no choice but to obey.

An hour of confrontation, the two sides have always maintained a score of 0 to 0.Although the blue team is the attacking team, because of its limited strength, the yellow team has a tight bus, making it difficult to break through the opponent's gate.

Li Yi looked at his watch and stopped the game.In this confrontation, yellow basically followed the deployment.After completing the defensive task, although the attacking team's firepower was far inferior to that of the Hang Seng reserve team, it gave Li Yi some confidence.

"Okay, that's all for today's training. Everyone go back to get ready and gather after lunch. It's time for us to set off. The hard training during this period is a mule or a horse. It's time to pull it out and practice!" Li Yi announced to the team in the afternoon s arrangement.

"It's finally time to compete!" Xu Zangyi said silently in his heart.
