Chapter 474 The Four Kingdoms Games (3)
The East China Government Football Team has used this free central defender tactic that has been eliminated in the old time and space. The three central defenders were divided into one and the two positions in front. The main focus was on this tactic to increase the level and thickness of the defense. The veteran Lu Ling, who served as the free central defender, turned out to be a soldier of the Marine Corps. In the old time and space, he was the main central defender of the Marine Corps football team. It is said that he can play in the China League One with a height of 1.86 meters. Not only can he compete for the header without a loss, but he also has a large range of activities and is very fast when making up for the position. Therefore, it is reassuring that he will be the scavenger in the end. Of course, when attacking, the central defender will have 1-2 assists to the midfield to assist in the control of the midfield.
The personal technology and cooperation technology of this era are also very simple. Faced with a layered and protected defense line like the East China government football team, it is almost impossible to tear open the defense line of the East China government football team by cooperation and personal technology.
The cross from the bottom and the 45-degree angle can be used to hit the ball into the penalty area. However, in addition to Lu Ling's height, the goalkeeper Chen Heng has a large range of movement. He takes advantage of his height and arm length to gain an advantage in picking high-altitude balls. Therefore, the high balls passed by the Steut team into the penalty area will most likely be grabbed by the East China Government Football Team.
As a result, in the whole first half, Stuttgart was almost unable to enter the penalty area of the East China government football team, and basically did not get any decent shots. Only two long shots outside the penalty area were slightly threatening.
In the first half, Qiu Yi did not play, but observed off the court. After all, he could see more comprehensively when observing off the court. Of course, this time the team also brought 3 cameras, one shot the whole game, and the other two shot the situation in the two penalty areas respectively, from the overall and part perspectives for review and division after the game.
Although I failed to score in the first half, Qiu Yi was quite satisfied with the performance of the players. After all, I had been floating on the boat for nearly two months and had only 5 days to adjust the landing. It was good to have such a performance. Of course, overall, I played a little more conservatively in the first half, and I was too stable and I didn’t invest enough in offense. Of course, this was not only due to insufficient time for adjustment, but also had a great relationship with not understanding the opponent’s strength. Now that I have basically understood the opponent’s strength, I should naturally change in the second half.
So Qiu Yi changed four players in the second half, including himself. Originally, there were no substitutions for football rules at this time, but the two sides agreed before the game that they could change players during the halftime break.
After the start of the second half, the East China government football team significantly strengthened its offense. Not only did it invest more offensive personnel, but it also played more resolutely and faster. Therefore, at the beginning, it formed a siege against the Stuttgart goal. It only took more than 10 minutes to start, and it had 4 shots, which made the Stuttgart team's goal dangerous.
In the 12th minute of the second half, Qiu Yi dribbled the ball from the right side and cut in from the right corner of the penalty area. Before the two defenders caught up and blocked it, he passed the ball to the middle. The veteran Huang Taisong, who served as the forward, received the ball in front of the goal area and shot the ball into the Stuttgart goal.
The audience also gave warm applause for the goal. The audience's eyes were bright. The strength of the East China Government football team was far above the Stuttgart team. The goal was not surprising, and the Chinese students present even applauded desperately.
After one ball was in hand, the East China Government football team played more confidently and the offense was smoother. In the 25th minute, veteran Tang Qufei dribbled the ball from Zuo Luo, but did not pass it after the bottom. Instead, facing the Stuttgart defender, a clever man scored the ball, broke through the defender's defense, broke into the penalty area along the bottom line, and made a front-pass on the left line of the goal area.
After Huang Taisong got the ball in the middle, he faced the empty goal but did not shoot. Instead, he passed the ball to Liu Shipei, a local naturalized player who was surrounded by the right side, allowing him to shoot. Sure enough, Liu Shipei arrived quickly, pulled his feet and shot in the right corner of the goal area, and shot the ball into the goal. After the goal, Liu Shipei was so excited that he raised his hands and ran wildly on the court.
In fact, Huang Taisong did this to boost confidence of local naturalized players. After all, if you want to achieve good results in the Olympics, you cannot rely on only a few veterans. Local naturalized players also need to bear more responsibilities.
In the following time, the East China government football team still had a chance to score, but Huang Taisong intends to retreat, allowing local naturalized players to come forward to destroy the striker and to have good shooting opportunities, and they are also given to local naturalized players. However, local naturalized players lack experience after all, and missed several opportunities.
Although the East China Government Football Team strengthened its offense and had more room on the defense line, goalkeeper Chen Heng and central defender Lu Ling performed well and never gave Stuttgart many opportunities, so the score of 2:0 was maintained until the end of the game. The East China Government Football Team won the first game of visiting Germany.
The victory in the first game greatly increased the confidence of the East China Government Football Team. At the same time, the German news media also reported that because anyone who has watched the game knows that although the score is not large, the entire game is basically controlled by the East China Government Football Team, and Stuttgart has basically no chance. Before the game, Germany did not expect that the East China Government Football Team would have such strong strength, so the attendance of this game was not high, and only about half of the people came. The East China Government Football Team defeated Stuttgart also aroused great interest from Germany, and they discussed who would win and lose in the next game against Berlin Victoria.
Among the four teams that competed with the East China Government Football Team, Berlin Victoria is the strongest, the runner-up in 1907 and the championship in 1908, while Stuttgart is only the runner-up in 1908. Although there is another Leipzig team that won twice in 1903 and 1906, it was too early. The results of Leipzig team have declined a lot in recent years and have not entered the finals of the German Football Championship for several consecutive years.
There was only 2 days of rest in the middle of the two games, so the two days of training were mainly about recovery and adjustment, and there was no training for large amounts of exercise. Only 30 minutes of team confrontation every day was mainly to restore the team's overall playing style.
Two days later, the East China Government Football Team's match against Berlin Victoria began. This time, the stadium of 40,000 people was basically full. First, the media reports attracted the interest of the Berlin people; second, this is the home court of Berlin Victoria, with a large number of supporters here, and more than 800 Chinese students also came, occupying a stand.
After the game started, the East China Government Football Team lined up with 442 lines. It changed the cautious start of the game and actively attacked from the beginning. It also used the opponent's only two defenders, with a large backfield space, and frequently seized the gap in the backfield. In just 5 minutes of the game, there were two attacks. Fortunately, the goalkeeper of the Berlin Victoria team was quick to react and was able to keep the goal safe only when he was high and low.
In the 8th minute, the East China Government Football Team intercepted the ball in the midfield and attacked. The left forward Tang Qufei dribbled the ball and advanced along the left side, Huang Taisong and Liu Shipei followed up in the middle to meet.
At this moment, one of the two defenders of Berlin Victoria suddenly stepped forward and wanted to use offside tactics. When Huang Taisong saw this, he immediately called Liu Shipei to turn his head and run backward to avoid offside. Qiu Yi, who was in the middle of the field behind, quickly stepped forward; but Tang Qufei did not pass the ball, but dribbled the ball into the left flank. Another defender of Berlin Victoria caught up to block the ball. Tang Qufei immediately passed the ball in a diagonal direction, and Qiu Yi rushed forward from the other side and played a beautiful anti-offside tactic.
At this time, the defender of Berlin Victoria wanted to turn around and chase him, but it was too late. Qiu Yi broke into the game alone, facing the goalkeeper of Berlin Victoria, calmly pushed the ball to the far corner to score.
Less than 10 minutes into the opening game, the East China Government Football Team scored a goal, and the audience also applauded and congratulated each other. After all, the anti-offside tactic was really beautiful this time.
After conceding the goal, Berlin Victoria also launched a counterattack. Berlin Victoria's strength is indeed much stronger than Stuttgart. Moreover, the East China Government Football Team adopted active tactics at the beginning. The midfielders and two full-backs also frequently intervened in assists, leaving a lot of space for Berlin Victoria. With two full-backs in, Berlin Victoria has many opportunities to cross from the bottom.
At the same time, the five forwards of Berlin Victoria's team are all tall and big, and they are indeed quite threatening. Although Chen Heng and Lu Ling have strong defensive abilities, it is impossible for each goal to be intercepted. Therefore, after the Berlin Victoria's team went down the bottom twice, it was a threatening ball, which was quite threatening. In addition, Berlin Victoria also strengthened its long shot, and even hit the crossbar with a long shot.
However, although the East China government football team has left a lot of room for defense, the offense is even sharper, because it uses the gap left by the opponent's opponent's only two defenders to frequently attack from the wing.
Moreover, the East China government football team's wing offense is different from the opponent. It does not go down the edge line and passes around the bottom line, but cuts inward when the penalty area is at the front of the penalty area and advances along the edge line of the penalty area. It does not go down to the bottom line and then passes again every time. Sometimes it passes when it goes down to the goal area.
This tactic is more threatening than the cross from the bottom. First, the pass distance is shorter, the speed is faster, and the opponent has less reaction time; second, you can shoot directly on the sideline of the penalty area, and there are more tactics to choose. Therefore, the goalkeeper is almost like a rush in front of the goal, and the goalkeeper is too busy to fight.
