Since 1998, I have been the godfather of football

Meeting Valderrama in the tunnel.

If it weren't for his signature long, messy golden curly hair, black beard on his lips, unruly appearance, and a bunch of messy fancy ornaments around his neck and wrists, it would all prove that he is the real "Golden Retriever Lion King" ,

Qin Feng once thought that Yanjing Guoan had introduced a "fake".

There is no other reason.

When Qin Feng looked at him, Valderrama lowered his head shyly.

It seems that no one is convinced, and the "Golden Retriever Lion King" Valderrama, who seems to be able to take out the "murder weapon" from his jersey at any time, is actually a shy person?

Shaking his head and smiling.

Qin Feng followed the team onto the court.

But during the competition, the "Golden Retriever Lion King" really showed his fangs.

38 is old.

He has long passed his peak and is in the twilight years of his career.

But Valderrama demonstrated on the court what "playing football with your brain" means!

Facing Liaodong midfielders Modric, Pepe, and Zheng Zhi, Valderrama took turns strolling around and never confronted them head-on.

But a little oversight.

He will appear in the most dangerous area inexplicably and deliver a fatal blow.

The game progressed to the 24th minute.

Valderrama wandered around the court, slowly pulling into space.

After receiving the pass, he dunked casually and shot past Zheng Zhi, who rushed at him quickly, and sent a through ball.

The football passed through the Liaodong defense line and went straight into the penalty area. Villa kept the ball in the penalty area and hit the goal.

A low ball from a very awkward angle. Fortunately, Anqi was about to give up the point and flew sideways to seal the ball out of the sideline.

The entire Liaodong team broke out in cold sweat.

Qin Feng also heaved a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, he came to the bench and found Zhang Xiaorui.

"Xiao Rui..."

Squeezing a seat next to Zhang Xiaorui, Qin Feng put his arm around his shoulders and pointed to the field, "Valderrama, what do you think of him?"

"It's not bad. I'm getting older and can't run anymore. I keep walking on the court, and I can't keep up with physical confrontation."

Zhang Xiaorui curled his lips and replied.

Qin Feng rolled his eyes in anger. Zhang Xiaorui was too proud. When his strength cannot keep up with his arrogance, this is a disease and must be cured!

"Who asked you to find fault with others!"

Qin Feng rushed over with a large number of shots, "Look more, how Valderrama moved, how he passed the ball, and why he made the extraordinary move at that time!"

"Oh, I know, Director Qin..."

Zhang Xiaorui rubbed the back of his head and looked into the field.

The attitude is pretty good... Qin Feng continued to point out: "I heard Coach Cruyff talk about your problem."

"As the core of the midfield, every pass you make and every pass you make on the field should be purposeful, rather than blindly showing off your skills and slowing down the team's offensive and defensive rhythm!"

"Me neither..." Zhang Xiaorui frowned.

"Okay, I'm not here to criticize you!"

Qin Feng patted Zhang Xiaorui on the shoulder, "You are the most skilled with your feet among the young players in the Dragon Kingdom. You must learn to 'use your brain' to play football!"

"As long as you do this well, you will be the core midfielder of the Dragon Kingdom national team in the next few years!"

"Remember, the stars introduced by each team in the Dragon Country all have unique skills. How much you can learn depends on whether you young players have the understanding!"

"Look more at other people's strengths, and during the learning process, think about how to defend effectively!"

"Sitting on the bench doesn't let you watch the game for free!"

The last sentence.

Qin Feng said this to all Liaodong substitute players.

After saying that, he stood up and left directly.

behind him.

Zhang Xiaorui's eyes widened, his expression slowly changed to determination, and he turned to stare at Valderrama's every move on the field.

Other substitute players of the Liaodong team also seemed to have realized something, and they all watched the game more seriously.

Qin Feng glanced at it and smiled.

Zhang Xiaorui is 23 years old, and his playing style is gradually taking shape. If some bad habits are not corrected, it will be too late.

Moreover, Qin Feng discovered that Zhang Xiaorui was a "submissive donkey" who used "encouragement therapy" and painted a few big cakes, which was much more effective than blindly criticizing oppression.

I hope he doesn't live up to his expectations...

The same goes for other young players.

The Dragon Country League has many big-name stars who are about to retire. Their game experience and skills are a huge asset. It depends on how much these young players can learn.

Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Feng turned to focus on the situation on the field.

Thanks to Valderrama's excellent combing in the midfield.

Yanjing Guoan scored first.

The game progressed to the 31th minute.

Valderrama slowly walked to an unoccupied position on the left, then suddenly accelerated. After receiving the pass, he lightly touched the upper left corner of the penalty area and passed a half-high arc ball.

The football bypassed Sun Jihai, Zhang Anhua, and An Qi who wanted to attack.

Villa stepped out of the crowd and flew to tackle Xu Dong's close attack.

The football roared into the net.

The Liaodong team played away from home and fell behind 0:1.

The Liaodong fans in the stands sighed.

But there was calm on the Liaodong coaching bench.

Qin Feng, like Cruyff next to him, had neither joy nor sadness on his face.

Develop a strong team mentality!

He always remembered Cruyff's words.

Guoan played well today, scoring first was normal.

The Liaodong team's play style is not chaotic and their offense is moderate, but they have not yet found a solution to Valderrama's "walking" style of play.

Just leave it all to the players to figure out how to solve it on the court.

Besides, the first half of the game is over soon. If it doesn't work, Cruyff will make adjustments during the halftime break.

Qin Feng still remembers what Rexach said in class.

"In the professional arena, there is no need for robots that can only execute orders!"

It can be said that if the Liaodong team wants to cross the threshold from an ordinary team to a world-class team, it depends on whether the players on the field can read the game and make adjustments proactively.

The Liaodong players did not disappoint Qin Feng on the field.

Seeing that Valderrama was like a "loach" all over the place.

Pepe simply gave up guarding him and instead intercepted his passing line.

Liaodong's midfielder also switched from man-to-man defense to regional defense.

After all, no one can keep their attention every minute and every second. Facing Valderrama, who can disappear if he is careless, it is more effective to form a zone defense in a small area.

The change was immediate.

Under the command of Modric, the Liaodong team's defensive rotation in the midfield and backcourt was smooth.

The result is.

Valderrama seems to be playing more easily, but in fact due to the reduction of passing routes, his chances of sending threatening through balls are greatly reduced.

Solved the defense.

Liaodong team devotes itself to offense

The first half is coming to an end.

Modric, wearing the No. 14 jersey, turned around with a big back-up pull, dunked past Valderrama, took the ball one step and suddenly took a long shot from the top of the penalty area.

Cruyff turned around and added his signature shot with the outside instep!

The football went straight forward at first, then suddenly spun into the blind spot on the right side of the goal midway.

The Guoan goalkeeper didn't react in time and could only watch the football go into the net.

1: 1!

The Liaodong team equalized the score.

This is not finished.

The last minute of stoppage time in the first half.

Zheng Zhi took advantage of the relaxation of Guoan players, stole the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass.

Liaodong quickly counterattacked.

Xu Bo jumped in at high speed from the right, flew to stop the ball, and rushed straight into the Guoan penalty area after landing.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he picked out an overhead pass to the center.

Ibrahimovic flew to catch up and succeeded in one fell swoop.

The first half is over.

2: 1!

The Liaodong team overtook the score!

Halftime passed in the blink of an eye.

Wait until both players walk out of the tunnel again.

The second half of the game begins.

Fans in the stands were surprised.

The Liaodong team actually replaced Modric, the absolute core of the team, with No. 12 Zhang Xiaorui...
