A shot that is not necessary?"

After listening to the system prompt message, Zhen Shaolong immediately noticed the key noun, "Shot is not necessary" which made him a little confused. He read the task reminder again, and only then did he know the specific meaning based on the information in his mind.

A non-must-find shot, the same as the description means, which is 'a shot that is not a sure goal', which means that the opponent's player is not sure of being able to score.

This is not 100%, but it is more than 95%.

‘Not necessarily scoring’ refers to a mentality. For example, when the opponent’s player feels that his shot will definitely be able to score a goal, there is no possibility of not scoring at all. Football is just like his feeling, rushing towards the goal according to the route can be considered as ‘must score’.

"There are very few balls like this..."

Zhen Shaolong thought about it. He is also a forward player and has the ability bonus of "Calibration", but even when playing penalty kicks, he is usually not 100% sure to score, because the reaction of the opponent's goalkeeper is not expected.

For example, the opponent's goalkeeper makes a decision in advance, responds quickly, saves accurately, and does not necessarily score in a penalty kick.

Some balls are different.

For example, if the goalkeeper is on one side, he may have time to save it. He can just push the ball gently and roll into the goal. He will naturally be 100% sure, as long as he doesn't have a defensive player next to him, otherwise the shot may not be kicked out.

And... Getting started with the ball?

Of course this is a must-scoring goal.

No matter how you think about it, there are definitely very few "must-scoring goals". Ordinary points in front of the goal, ordinary shots, long shots, and free kicks should be included in the range of "no must-scoring shots".

"That is, it's hard for Liverpool to score a goal?"

"Isn't this a victory or defeat?"

The effect of this task is very good. All I sacrificed is that I touched the ball less frequently. I don’t know if it was a bigger sacrifice or a better task effect.

Zhen Shaolong began to measure in his heart, "The mission goal is just to lead the team to win... Under normal circumstances, it is not a difficult goal."

"But we must consider that in recent times, Liverpool has been in very good shape, and it is an away game, Anfield Stadium... Liverpool wants to win very much, and his fighting spirit must be very strong, and his performance will not be bad..."

“It’s very risky to go to the game normally…”

"Even if I can score two or three goals, Liverpool and Arsenal, I scored four goals..."

"Also, the task description is 'conforming to public opinion'. If it is performed normally and the temporary effect of the task is not used, will there be problems?"

The last point quickly convinced Zhen Shaolong.

But in fact, Zhen Shaolong would never admit that he thought that not touching the ball for a long time during the game seemed to be a very good experience, mainly... it would be very relaxed during the game?

Ahem...

"I am very positive in every game and my performance is full of positive colors. I am a model of professionalism all over the world, and I am the example of the world..."

———

If you rely only on the temporary effect of the system tasks, what is uncertain is whether Newcastle United can score a goal? Even if there is a goal, it may not necessarily win. Perhaps Liverpool can score a "must-scoring goal"?

This is hard to say.

Zhen Shaolong felt that he had to do something else to increase the probability of winning the game. He could not rely on luck to perform tasks, he had to complete the tasks.

In addition, the competition is also related to the championship competition.

There are only four rounds left in the Premier League. If you lose to Liverpool in the front-line game, you will fall into a passive position in the championship. Even if you win all the next games, you may not be able to win the championship. It is even said that with the state shown by Liverpool, there is a great possibility that there will be no chance again.

This game is so important.

Newcastle United attaches great importance to the game. Head coach Kevin Keegan and the rest of the coaching staff have formulated tactical play early. His tactical play is still mainly defense, because Liverpool's offense is very strong and the game is at Anfield Stadium. If you don't do a good job of defensive work, the goal may be hit into a sieve, and no matter how many goals you score in the frontcourt will be of no help.

The afternoon before the game.

Kevin Keegan gathered all the players again and arranged a tactical class to explain the way Liverpool plays tomorrow's game. His explanation was very in-depth, and even details were detailed to the habits of each player on the opponent and the possible loopholes in the defense line of the back line. He told each player how to run and defend against Liverpool's characteristics.

Zhen Shaolong was drowsy in the tactical class and almost buried his head in Owen's back in front.

After Kevin Keegan finished his last sentence, he entered the time for the players to discuss independently and digest. He instantly became much more energetic and stood up to find Kevin Keegan and said, "Mr. Keegan, I think we should talk alone."

"Talk alone? Oh... OK!"

Kevin Keegan took Zhen Shaolong to the office next to him, and his mind kept turning on the way. He didn't understand what Zhen Shaolong was going to do, and almost nothing like that happened.

"Is he going to talk about the transfer? By the way, Ashley's bastard decided to sell him! Indeed, he sold it at a price that could not be solved, but... fat man!"

Kevin Keegan was very angry when he thought about it, "So he talked to me now? Don't he want to leave?"

"Maybe he wants me to be the head coach and wants to introduce me to Real Madrid... Leave Newcastle United, go to Real Madrid with him, and ask Real Madrid..."

Kevin Keegan feels that his counseling career may be coming to his peak.

Although it is not reliable to introduce the head coach to a new team, Newcastle United has won the League Cup this season, competing for the league and the Champions League, and is likely to become the real "triple crown". As the famous coach who led the team to defend the Premier League champion and won the "triple crown" and is also understandable to take the coaching point of the world's giant Real Madrid.

When he arrived in the office, Zhen Shaolong immediately interrupted Keegan's fantasy, "I want to talk about game, tactics. Mr. Keegan, I remember you said that if I have any ideas about game tactics, I can say it."

Keegan nodded in disappointment and listened.

"This game is very important. I think in order to win, we should not be conservative, but should take the initiative to attack and play head-on with Liverpool."

“…?”

Keegan was stunned for a while, carefully digesting Zhen Shaolong's statement, and he felt that it was not a good idea.

Offensive battle?

really.

Newcastle United's offensive ability is not bad, no, to be precise, the scoring ability is not bad. The reason is Zhen Shaolong. He scored more goals alone than most teams, but due to the strength of the lineup, the team's overall offensive ability is not strong.

Kevin Keegan still knows this.

In addition, the game venue is at Anfield Stadium, facing the peak of Liverpool. All England and even Europe are talking about Liverpool's strong offensive ability. Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, and Torres in front form a terrible trident, driving Liverpool's front-court efficiency to surpass Manchester United and Arsenal.

The scariest thing is that Liverpool's defense is also good.

Benitez is a famous tactical master. Keegan does not think that he has poor tactical ability, but he still has to admit that Benitez is a real tactical genius and the strategies he formulates are often targeted at his opponents.

Fighting head-on with such an opponent...

"yes!"

Keegan thought of Benitez and suddenly knew what Zhen Shaolong was thinking.

Benitez is a tactical master. He will formulate tactics for each opponent. When Newcastle United plays normally, they will definitely fall into Benitez's tactical trap. The opponent will definitely formulate a defensive strategy and will be airtight in defense.

on the contrary.

If Newcastle United plays against Liverpool head-on, Benitez will definitely not have thought of it. It is equivalent to breaking away from the opponent's tactical trap and catching the opponent off guard. Will he be at the upper hand in tactical formulation?

"It makes sense!"

"Turn passive into activeness? The other party can't imagine that he may be able to gain an advantage!"

"We have Zhen Shaolong...what are we afraid of?"

"And, Zhen Shaolong said he wanted to play against the opponent. If I object... it is my responsibility to lose the game then? No, even if he plays against the opponent, it is still my responsibility to lose the game. Fans cannot know this, and I am the head coach..."

Keegan thought carefully and found a kind of sadness.

Whether it is listening to Zhen Shaolong's attack or insisting on formulating good tactics to play defensive counterattacks, losing will be his responsibility, because fans cannot blame Zhen Shaolong, and the head coach is indeed responsible for tactical matters.

"Okay, I'll think about it..."

Keegan did not make a decision immediately. He spent a long time thinking, and it was not until the next morning that he finally made a decision - listen halfway!

Zhen Shaolong’s tactical suggestions make some sense, and his opinions must also be considered, but the team’s strength and disadvantages must be considered.

After comprehensive consideration, Keegan decided to make appropriate adjustments to increase the attacks between the two sides and the front line, so that Patton could cooperate with Zhen Shaolong to the front. In order to prevent the front and back courts from being disconnected, the overall formation should also be appropriate for the current situation. However, the main core of the playing style is defensive counterattack, but the number of people who are moving forward has been strengthened in ordinary advancement.

This is almost a frontal.

On the morning of the competition.

When all the players gathered together, Keegan announced that the tactics would be adjusted. Although the offensive had been strengthened and the formation was slightly moved forward, the overall defense and offensive style had not changed, and only a few positions had changed a lot.

Keegan specially found Duff, Milner, Patton, and Irving, and gave them detailed instructions, which almost meant "strengthen the offensive", "plug more", "pass more to Zhen Shaolong". Of course, there is also a suffix "Be careful when defending."

After hearing this, several people nodded.

After Keegan finished his adjustment and left, Zhen Shaolong immediately came over and said to the few people, "By the way, I suddenly thought that I should not pass the ball to me in the afternoon game, unless I take the initiative to ask for the ball, or the chance is very good, I will definitely score a goal."

"ah?"

"You guys pass more to Michael!"

"good……"

Patton, Milner and Duff looked at each other and felt strange about Zhen Shaolong's statement. However, Irving looked grateful and tears. His eyes were full of excitement when he looked at Zhen Shaolong. He couldn't help but think, "I can finally be the No. 1 striker!"

"It's still such an important game. Zhen must have seen that I scored fewer goals, so I decided to give me the chance to score..."

"Actually!"
Chapter completed!
