Chapter 7: Fighting and Victory Sect ()

During the halftime break, the yellow team players sat in a circle, drinking water while listening to Chu Jiang, who was standing in the middle of the circle, explaining the tactical arrangements of the second half.

Seeing Corso looking at Chu Jiang with interest, Zhan Paul asked with a smile, "How about it, do you want to go over and say hello to him?"

"No need, don't go over and disturb him. That... Chu, do you usually command your teammates?"

The pronunciation of Chinese characters is indeed a bit difficult for an Italian. Despite this, Corso still remembered Chu Jiang's name, although it was not very accurate.

"It's the same usually. Chu Jiang is in our school, but he has the title of 'little coach'!" Mo Yanke seized the opportunity to recommend his favorite disciple.

"How will he change the situation on the field? I'm really a little curious!"

Corso smiled. After saying that, the three of them laughed.

In their opinion, what kind of clever tactics can children have? At best, it is just to boost morale! It seems a bit unrealistic to expect them to demonstrate their superb football tactical qualities at such a young age. Unless he is a natural football genius.

On the other side of the field, the Blue Team players formed a group of three or three, and only when they had a good relationship could they get together. Compared with the Blue Team, they were like a group of straitors.

Soon, the 5-minute break ended and the second half began.

The Blue Team still plays the same way as when the first half is about to end, focusing on defense and waiting for the Yellow Team to attack. Anyway, they are already leading with one goal, and you can win by maintaining the advantage of scoring. There is no need to risk the fight against the Yellow Team. What's more, the Yellow Team is one goal behind now. They will definitely take the initiative to attack. When they take risks and attack the defense is empty, then hit them to counterattack, which can save energy and the offensive effect will be better. Why not do it?

The Blue Team played well. However, they never expected that the Yellow Team would take the lead in shrinking its defense line and put on an iron barrel formation. In the frontcourt, there were only two Yellow Team forwards left, and even the front midfielders ran back to the backcourt, garrisoning heavily in the backcourt, as if they were the ones who were leading the score now.

What is this situation? The Yellow Team players were confused.

Not only them, but also the students watching were puzzled, including Mo Yanjian and Zhan Paul.

"What is Chu Jiang doing?" The two looked at each other, shook their heads and did not speak, but were confused in their hearts, "Did he give up? It is really difficult to win a goal in a backward situation with a lineup that is not good at attack. Anyway, it is just a training match, and it is not necessary to give up. However, admitting defeat seems to be Chu Jiang's character?"

On the court, Chu Jiang was still calmly commanding his teammates to defend, with a calm smile on his face. Similarly, the Huang team members were also calmly organized the defense line in the backcourt and handed over the possession of the ball in the midfield to the Blue team. They were unwilling to invest their troops during the attack, as if they really gave up.

Seeing this scene, Corso smiled.

"Is it interesting to show the enemy that it is weak and lead the snake out of the hole? It seems that we all underestimated that little guy!"

After Corso's reminder, both Jampardo and Principal Mo suddenly understood.

The Yellow Team is known for its defense. It is tantamount to attacking rashly, which is tantamount to attacking the enemy with its own weaknesses and losing stability in the rear, and it may not necessarily improve the quality of the offensive. On the contrary, the army's pressure also gives the Blue Team's offensive players more space, allowing them to perform more freely. This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Taking the initiative to retreat and show the enemy to be weak can not only stabilize the defense, ensure that the gap in backward will not widen, but also paralyze the opponent and let the opponent relax their vigilance. The Blue Team is good at attacking, but seeing that the Yellow Team takes the initiative to retreat, they will definitely not help but want to suppress the attack. Even if they can resist the impulse for a while, over time, the players' thoughts will easily be divided.

After all, the Blue Team does not have the prestige and can see the situation on the field like Chu Jiang.

In fact, this tactical style is not uncommon in high-level professional leagues. The side behind takes the initiative to retreat and then takes advantage of the opportunity of the offensive side being careless and not unified in tactical thinking to achieve a major reversal. There are many examples of this. Even if the offensive side sees through the defensive side's strategy and uses the method of controlling the ball to kill time to eliminate the morale of the opponent, the defensive side can choose to change the playing style to deal with it, which is nothing more than a waste of time.

Anyway, if you are just one goal behind, if the plan fails, it will not cause much loss if you waste a little time. But if the plan is successful, the results will be extraordinary.

However, this tactical style is rare in youth team competitions. What is particularly commendable is that the person who came up with this tactical style is actually a young child under the age of 18. Corso did not expect that although Chu Jiang is young, his football quotient is already so high, and he is definitely the best among his peers!

Sure enough, not long after, the Yellow Team's formation became chaotic without realizing it.

The goalkeeper wanted to defend the victory and asked the defenders to increase their strength to return to defense. However, after two full-backs had been idle for a long time, they could not help but go forward to attack. The two central defenders no longer retreated frequently to assist in defense, and they could not help but frequently go forward. The two wingers stayed directly in the opponent's half and were unwilling to return to defense during defense...

At this time, if someone looks down from the air above the football field, they will find that the yellow team has a compact formation, with a basis for advance and retreat, while the blue team has a disconnection from front to back, as if a piece of sand is loose.

"It's time!"

Chu Jiang easily took the long shot from a blue team player, held the ball and observed the situation on the court, and keenly found that there was a big defensive gap in the position of his No. 9 striker, and there was no defensive player next to him! Chu Jiang immediately threw the football in front of him, and directly passed with a big foot, and searched for No. 9!

"Bang!"

The football drew a wonderful arc and landed accurately over Yellow Team No. 9.

nice shot!

Chu Jiang's opening goal attributes of 15 and the long pass attributes of 15 played a very obvious role in this ball.

The No. 9 player hesitated for a moment, and failed to succeed in the first few attacks, which made No. 9 lose confidence in himself... At this time, a teammate wearing a yellow vest happened to jump in at high speed and rushed past his right.

"Pass it to him." No. 9 took off, headed the ball a little, and the football fell on the running route of his teammates.

Single shot!

All the players of the Blue Team were nervous and they struggled to catch up.

“b…”

Suddenly, the referee's whistle sounded inappropriately.

Offside! The referee made an accurate penalty for a free kick in the backcourt.

When the No. 9 player headed the ball a little, his teammate was in an offside position. If he did not choose to pass it to his teammate but instead attacked by himself, there would be no offside, and it would be a one-on-one strike. He wasted an excellent opportunity to tie the score!

Hearing the whistle, No. 9 shook his head helplessly and walked back dejectedly, without forgetting to raise his thumbs up to Chu Jiang.

"Brother Chu is definitely impeccable! It's a pity that I..." he thought silently.

Chu Jiang smiled and raised his right hand and waved it, as if he was signaling No. 9, "It doesn't matter, come again next time!"

Seeing Chu Jiang's comfort, No. 9's lost mood calmed down a lot, and his confidence slowly returned to his heart.

After being frightened this time, the Blue Team members became much more honest and began to pay attention to defense.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Seeing that the Yellow Team still looked like an iron barrel formation, the Blue Team's offensive players were ready to move again, and unknowingly increased their offensive strength again, and the formation was once again disconnected.

Within a few minutes, the Yellow Team No. 9 forward again found the space behind the Blue Team. Chu Jiang did not disappoint his running position, and a long pass still accurately sent the ball to him, as if he had measured it with a laser.

Single shot! This time, he didn't hesitate anymore!

Facing the goalkeeper who was attacking, No. 9 took a light pick and the football easily bypassed the goalkeeper and got into the net of the Blue Team.

1:1! The score was tied, and Chu Jiang completed a perfect assist!

The No. 9 player ran back to the backcourt excitedly and hugged Chu Jiang who was facing forward. This goal should be attributed to Chu Jiang first! It is precisely because of Chu Jiang's outstanding vision and perfect long pass that this goal was created!

There are two more words in Corso's small book, "long pass" and "big picture view".

After conceding the goal, the Blue Team players couldn't help but start to complain to each other. They didn't expect that when they had the "advantage", they were even tied the score by the substitute player of the Yellow Team who was weak in offense!

The goalkeeper began to complain about the defenders and blamed them for pressing too much; the defenders accused the midfielder of the defense and said that they did not protect the defense enough; the midfielder complained about the central defenders and believed that they did not make any efforts in defense...

In the following game, the tactical ideas of Huang team players became even more unconsistent. Some people wanted to attack but wanted to take the lead again; some people wanted to defend so that their opponents would not seize the opportunity to counterattack again... In this way, Huang team's formation was more scattered, the offense was not strong enough, and there were more loopholes in defense.

Seeing this situation, Chu Jiang waved his hand again, and the Huang team took the lead in completing the formation change, transforming from a 4312 that focuses on defense to a 41212 small diamond with more offense and defense balance.

Two full-backs frequently flew forwards; the back midfielders on both sides pushed forward, echoing the defenders who flew forwards; the front midfielders swam left and right, creating opportunities for the forwards...

"Survival of victory?" Corso smiled and tapped the cover of the notebook with a pen, and couldn't help but become more interested in this Chinese boy.

The scene of the Yellow Team suddenly became alive, and the main players of the Blue Team began to play on the court. The Blue Team's penalty area was in a panic for a while and the danger continued.

Not long after, due to a defensive foul by the Blue Team players, the referee decisively called the free kick. This time the free kick was located at the top of the arc of the penalty area, only 25 meters away from the Blue Team goal, and the position was excellent!

Seeing this free kick, Chu Jiang immediately ran from his penalty area to the opponent's goal. He wanted to test whether the free kick attribute of the up to 20 he had seen on the bus was true or false.

In this game, Chu Jiang felt that he seemed to be a little different from before, and seemed to have improved his abilities a lot compared to the previous one, and it was somewhat similar to the "Chu Jiang" set in that game.

"Has the ability set in that game really transferred to me? I was possessed by a game?"

Thinking back to the scene on the bus, Chu Jiang couldn't help but have a strange idea. This idea sounded incredible, but even if something even more incredible happened two years ago, what is absolutely impossible?

Seeing Chu Jiang running up and looking like he wanted to take a free kick, the players on both sides were petrified.

What is this situation? The goalkeeper takes a free kick? Was this possessed by Chilavit? Moreover, Chu Jiang has never taken a free kick... That kid has never trained a free kick at all... He knows where the free kick is to be kicked, so he won't just be the goalkeeper...

Seeing this scene, the trio on the sidelines were also stunned.

"That... Chu, he has the skills of free kicks?" Corso looked puzzled. Now the goalkeepers are training free kicks, at least, there are much fewer and fewer than the giant pandas...

"Maybe...probably...it may...it seems...right?" Zhan Paul's eyes were about to shatter. He never knew that Chu Jiang had this trick.

Chu Jiang didn't care about this and just held the ball in his arms, waved his hand and asked his teammates to leave the free throw point quickly, looking like "I'm sure to kick this ball!"

Due to Chu Jiang's "power", the Huang team members had to obey. Otherwise, what else could it be? Chu Jiang is the veritable elder brother of the Huang team, and even the goals that scored back the score were assists.

Four defenders and three midfielders stood behind Chu Jiang, ready to "handle the funeral" for him at any time...

Putting the football gently on the free throw point, Chu Jiang looked up at the opponent's wall and goalkeeper.

"The height of the man wall is not enough, and there are problems with the positioning. There seems to be problems with the goalkeeper's position selection... From my perspective, there are at least five ways to play this free kick, and the goal rate is above 80%... It seems that the free kick is also very simple..."

Chu Jiang began to ponder.

"Bang!"

Chu Jiang was patted with a heavy shoulder, which scared him.

"What's going on, Dahuang?" Chu Jiang turned around and said in surprise, "Don't you want to compete with me for a free kick, right? You are a central defender. Do you know what a free kick is?"

"You, a goalkeeper, want to give a free kick, why can't my central defender do it?"

Dahuang thought depressedly. But at this time, he was too lazy to argue with his good friends. He just pointed to the referee and said, "It has been a long time since the referee blew the whistle. If you don't want to play, just stay there. Don't let him blow the free kick away again."

"Ah..." Chu Jiang came to his senses and looked back at the referee. Sure enough, he found that the referee was staring at him with bad intentions. Anyone who was left aside would feel a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I seemed to have forgotten just now. I'll kick it right away, kick it right away!"

"Forgot... Forgot..." Everyone was petrified together, "God, earth, which immortal sister can tell me what's going on..."

Everyone looked at Chu Jiang with an idiot's eyes.

"It's interesting." Corso chuckled.

"Yes, yes." The two school giants wiped the sweat from their heads and smiled embarrassedly, and had already cursed Chu Jiang secretly in their hearts.

"Uh, that, can I kick now?"

Chu Jiang laughed and asked carefully.

"Yes..." The referee nodded mutely and blew the whistle of the free throw again.

With a few small steps and a quick run, Chu Jiang kicked the ball heavily in the lower right corner of the football. The football flew out, easily avoiding the wall, skillfully avoiding the goalkeeper's blockage, and successfully landed on the blue team's net.

Relaxed, freehand, done in one go!
Chapter completed!
