26.
Edward looked at what happened on the court with a smile. When his assistant coach handed him the performance of Zuo Lin filming in the FA Cup, allowing him to appreciate Zuo Lin's performance of knocking down provokers and sending them off the court without fouling, he knew that this exciting method would never stop like this. Perhaps for many gentlemen, this is not in line with the spirit of the athlete, and for a goalkeeper who can rule the penalty area, it is a very useful method. A goalkeeper only needs to use super technical means at the right time in a game to show his determination to defend the goal and shake the confidence of the opponent's offensive players. After all, no athlete is completely unafraid of being injured.
Zuo Lin was considering differently from Edward. He just felt that he was not happy with the opponent's forward. However, Zuo Lin would not repeatedly use super technical measures. The alert gaze from the referee from Saudi Arabia forced him to restrain himself.
In the whole first half, Edward used very strange tactics without hesitation. All the players except one striker were in their own half and almost let the Japanese team attack. However, the Chinese team's defense method was very strange. Each player defended a area and did not protect each other very closely. Only a few defenders in front of the goal compressed the opponent's shooting route, but the compression was extremely limited. Sometimes it was just deliberately showing some opportunities for the Japanese team to shoot. The Chinese team had very layered defense but neither pressed nor aggressive. This kind of game looked like a training match. The entire first half actually gave the Japanese team 12 shots, and all shots were within the goal frame. However, since there was a goalkeeper like Zuo Lin, these angles and distances were limited to the goal. Finally, this was a tactic that did not make Zuo Lin doze off.
Off the court, the team leader asked Edward inconscientiously: "Mr. Edward, I don't understand your intention very much. Although we are not very strong, we have never been so passive when playing against the Japanese team before."
"That's because the focus of the game is different, and it has to be good-looking and wants to win. Although I really want to, the Chinese team now cannot do this. So, I choose a result you prefer: win." Edward said leisurely, "Running back and forth consumes physical strength, especially when you can see hope of winning. The running is very active and the physical strength is consumed very quickly, but the physical reaction is very low. I don't like the data, and I can't tell you how long the Japanese team's physical strength will have problems, but the second half should be able to see the effect."
Edward replaced three forwards in the second half, leaving only two defenders to defend. Other players continued to attack and steal more fiercely. The sudden increase in pressure made the Japanese team very uncomfortable, and the physical weakness caused by frequent running in the first half gradually began to appear. However, because the Japanese team's defense was also quite level, and the Chinese team's forward lacked some luck, until the end of the game, neither side could score a goal. In the end, they could only end 0:0.
This result is not satisfactory. However, the different performances of the Chinese team in the first and second half have made many people realize that this is a deliberate tactic. Although there was no goal, the Chinese team's offenses in the second half, the ball allocation of the two wings and the middle lane is relatively balanced, and the imagination that has been significantly improved when cooperating in the middle and front courts has made this Chinese team, which has only been trained for one week, illuminate the eyes.
Unlike any head coach who likes to accuse the media of irresponsible reports and then makes the media less harmonious, Edward likes the media very much, especially those media that likes to scold people. He deliberately asked the assistant coach to leak some news to some media to accuse the Chinese team, and provided manuscripts to other media to promote the Chinese team. However, the media orientation was gradually controlled by these strange actions.
He even added a media consultant and a copywriter to the national team, which was basically used to write gun manuscripts. For the already huge expenses of the Chinese team, these two experiences, the expenses of members with good media relations are not a burden to the Chinese team, but they play a considerable role.
In the next game against Spain, the Chinese team's tactic of consuming the opponent's physical strength and then counterattacking became more and more mature. Although this tactic is based on trust that a super goalkeeper like Zuo Lin will not be scored, it sounds a bit mysterious, but in fact, Zuo Lin has not disappointed so far.
With no one pressing on, the Spanish team's attacking strength was undoubtedly revealed. The quality of 11 shots in the first half was very high. Moreover, the Spanish team's confidence in technology is incomparable to Japan. Their forward forwards pursue the best shooting position rather than a good shooting position in the frontcourt. It frequently breaks through the Chinese team's defense line and even dribbles the ball until the small penalty area before shooting. It made Zuo Lin very annoyed. As a strong European team, Spain did make Zuo Lin feel the football level on another level.
In the end, the game against Spain still ended 0:0, while the Chinese team entered the third and fourth place with no goals and conceded in two games, with the opponent being Garner. In this game that had nothing to do with face, Edward did not even send Zuo Lin to the court. However, in this game, the Chinese team without ultimate defense seemed to be awake and played more actively than the previous two games, especially in the defense, and finally defeated Garner 2:1 and won the third place in the Six Nations Invitational.
It is unknown whether this result is satisfactory, but after all, it is an international event. All the teams invited are ranked higher in the world than China. It is good to have a third place to comfort me. But those scouts who came to watch the game and examine Zuo Lin's abilities were very satisfied. Edward is not a rash coach. A rash guy cannot become a famous "conspirator", but this conspirator has extraordinary trust in Zuo Lin. He even specified the current Chinese team's tactics on the premise that Zuo Lin would not be scored, and it seems that the effect is pretty good.
In total, Zuo Lin faced nearly 40 shots in total, of which half of them were of high quality. However, it did not pose any threat. Zuo Lin's relaxedness was another comment in the eyes of scouts. Many scouts said in the report: Zuo Lin had an almost foreseeable insight into the shooting route. He could always start early, occupy a critical position and adjust in time. He rarely put himself in a situation where he wanted to use fish to save and save. Zuo Lin's outstanding goalkeeper ability even concealed the forward's tricky choice of the ball path, constant attempts, and constant challenges.
After receiving such a high evaluation, the first batch of attempted transfer bids quietly arrived at the General Manager's Office of Shenbao's team and Zuo Lin's agent Sang Shilin. The first batch of quotes made people's heart beat: the lowest is RMB 10 million and the highest is US$5 million... For a newcomer in the Chinese Super League, it is really incredible.
Zuo Lin hasn't received this news yet. In fact, with the life route he has decided, even if he knows, there will be no difference. He will not consider what kind of European team he wants to go to, nor will he be complacent for his worth, nor will he long for the team he should choose to go to. Because he is still unfamiliar with football at all, he will not even consider that even the attention of these teams to himself will change his life because he has never understood the way the world operates in his mind. Zuo Lin, who is a little confused about these cloud-like reputation and status, boarded a plane to Hong Kong with Jin Xiaohua on the day of the Six Nations Invitational.
After Zuo Lin's guidance, Jin Xiaohua's cultivation was effective during this period. She reflected on her previous attitude and started practicing the breathing and meditation methods taught by Zuo Lin from scratch. Since she had experience in learning Qigong breathing methods, she first spent a while to penetrate this breathing method that was called the tree breathing method into her daily life. When she finally entered a normal state of cultivation, she was quickly fascinated by everything around her. She found that once she changed her vision, the things that seemed ordinary and would be ignored at any time turned out to be so interesting. In the city, this nature is still showing her strong and optimistic vitality, and the flowers and plants around her.
Unlike those around them, survival is everything they have, and thriving is the ultimate proposition for them to work hard. The cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death is as natural as every breath of their own. Simple thoughts and open-mindedness to life allow these simple creatures around them to face anything calmly. The tree breathing method and the unique affinity of women are integrated together, making Jin Xiaohua and Yan Yingxue easily welcomed by animals. Sometimes when lying on a park bench to take a nap, those birds that Jin Xiaohua can't name even stop on her. As for cats and dogs, animals with IQ and more sensitive to qi are easier to get along with.
In this excited and peaceful state, after substituting the tree-tree method into her daily life, Jin Xiaohua was actually more diligent than before. She is now a person who practices 24 hours a day and can be said to be a thousand miles a day in the accumulation of natural power. What's more, she is different from Yan Yingxue. Yan Yingxue's practice depends largely on instinct and Zuo Lin's explanation, while Jin Xiaohua continues to summarize and improve, and grops and adjusts herself, trying to find the most efficient method.
If Jin Xiaohua maintained this cultivation speed, she would probably start to learn the basic ability of using plant stems and leaves to change shapes in a few months. Her achievements may soon surpass an ordinary servant and develop towards an orthodox druid. Zuo Lin was considering whether to cultivate Jin Xiaohua as a druid, and also teach her ordinary druid and spell druid. However, before that, Jin Xiaohua was still a qualified servant with great combat effectiveness and rich experience in using modern weapons. This time she went to Hong Kong to assist the Security Bureau and the Special Affairs Bureau in action. Zuo Lin felt that taking Jin Xiaohua with her will not only save a lot of communication troubles, but also let Jin Xiaohua take a look at the fighting style of a druid.
