Eames and other Wimbledon players' understanding of Hartley Winterney is only on the data analysis level, but now they have the opportunity to see with their own eyes how this team ranked fourth from the bottom plays.

Wimbledon lined up 442 in the midfield diamond position, while the opponent was a typical defensive counterattack formation - 532.

The data is indeed not a lie, this is a team that is used to defense.

After the game started, since Wimbledon was the one who got the kick-off, Hartley Winterney immediately recovered the formation and shrank to a 30-meter area waiting for Wimbledon to attack.

Wimbledon fans booed dissatisfiedly for their opponents' performance. England fans all know the ball well, and they know under what circumstances should be put pressure on their opponents. If the opponent is allowed to shrink back and defend without any obstacles, it will be very unfavorable to Wimbledon. Therefore, Wimbledon fans hope to use their boo to embarrass and shame the Hartley Winterney on the court, so that Wimbledon, who is stronger than his opponent, will have a chance to score.

Hartley Winterney’s players must have been used to such a game environment. No matter how Wimbledon fans boo them, they even gave them a middle finger at them in the stands and called them cowards without eggs, they had no intention of changing their tactics. There were no more than 30 fans who came to the away game, and they were like a drop in the ocean in front of the 3,000 Wimbledon fans. With the waves of booing from the home team fans, they were very cleverly silent. In the past, they were not so silent on the away game. If the other party dared to insult their team so much, they would definitely teach the other party a lesson with greater roars and singing in the stands, but all the fans who attended the game combined were only one hundred, and even if they had thirty people, they could still compete with each other. But now they were facing 3,000 Wimbledon fans... As long as they were not fools, they would not cause trouble.

Not long after the game started, Wimbledon encountered trouble in his offense. The opponent defended his penalty area with no means to do so, and no matter what Wimbledon could not score. As the core figure who assisted his teammates to score many times in the previous games, Russell, who had personally scored from a long shot, was naturally closely guarded by his opponent.

Since its establishment, Wimbledon has attracted the attention of some media, and even came to BBC TV at their founding conference. This certainly made them famous, L) the team with the highest exposure rate appeared in the media more times in two months than other teams in a season. This team that is determined to return to the top league has become the target of public criticism. It is not easy for them to understand those strange opponents, but it is much easier for them to understand them. For example, Russell and Borger, who once played in Wimbledon's professional team, have both been in the newspaper. A interested opponent only needs to flip through the newspaper to know that these two are professional players, let alone score goals every game, Kevin Cooper, the team's captain and number one scorer. As long as they see them playing in the game, they will defend against them.

Alai Russell is facing such a dilemma now. As long as he gets the ball, there will definitely be an opponent's defensive player who will be close to the target and press on him. He is still very dishonest and pushes and pulls. In short, he won't let him get the ball comfortably.

This is not the most depressing thing. It's just a defensive player, and he can still deal with it. What makes him headache is that the opponent's formation has contracted too hard, and the front and inside of the penalty area are full of people. While dealing with the opponent's harassment, he also has to find a way to pass the ball. It's really harder than climbing the sky... Not to mention Russell, even the top midfielders of top teams will have a headache when facing this situation. So in those top leagues, when strong teams encounter the weak team's defensive tactics, they will also be at a loss. They can only pass and transfer over and over again outside the opponent's defense line, or simply pass back to attract the goal.

If the opponent is not fooled, he can only use long shots or directly lob the ball in front of the goal from the 45-degree angle on the wing, but this tactic has little effect. Because any strong team is not used to the tactics of long passes and rushing. The Premier League is one of the roughest leagues, giving people the impression that the English team will only let the football fly around in the air. But in fact, the traditional top four Premier League quarterfinals are all teams that are used to playing on the ground. Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea football has some characteristics of English football, and Frenchman Wenger's Arsenal can't even see the shadow of English football.

Russell didn't know where to pass the ball with the ball, so he had no choice but to pass the ball horizontally to his teammate Joe Xilin on the left. As a forward, Xilin had been squeezed to the side and almost became a winger. Sullivan, who was originally on the left, could only come to the middle and compete with Russell for the position. It can be seen how tight the opponent's defense is in the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Joe Xilin forced a cross into the penalty area, hoping that Kevin Cooper, who was still inside, could get the point. Unfortunately, under the clamping of several opponent's defenders, Kevin Cooper almost didn't even jump up, and the football was pushed out by the opponent.

Chu Zhongtian saw the entire process of this offense near the central circle. The game has been going on for about fifteen minutes, and this failed offense is a microcosm of the team's entire offensive in the past fifteen minutes.

He always felt that the team lacked a good long-range shot player. Although Russell had a record of scoring with long-range shots, it was just that he seized a lucky opportunity and made a lucky technical move in the lucky time and place. So the football luckily bypassed the goalkeeper's fingers, fortunately not being blocked by the goal post, fortunately not directly missed or shot high, and finally flew into the goal. To put it bluntly, it was just that he was lucky. He could not shoot such a ball in training, even if he didn't defend him.

Others are not good at long-range shooting. Captain Kevin Cooper, the team's top scorer, is better at fighting against opponents' defenders in the penalty area. He is a traditional center and is more accustomed to moving in the penalty area. The farther away from the goal, the lower his threat.

Qiao Xilin is more flexible and has excellent skills in his feet. He has never been a feature of his strong shooting.

Andy Sullivan is a winger. Compared to shooting in front of the goal, he prefers to seek breakthroughs on the wing.

Borger is a wing player, very fast, good at breaking through and crossing, but long shots are not his specialty.

There are other people... none of his partners in the midfield likes and is good at long-range shooting, including himself.

This is really strange. Perhaps because of the hasty formation of this team, many candidates in positions are not the most suitable. In another season, the team's strength will be supplemented, and then more powerful teammates will come to join... But the question is how to solve the game in front of you? Could you tell the other party: Let's wait for the time being, and we will compete after we recruit soldiers next season? Isn't this a joke? No opponent can agree to such conditions, and the rules will not allow it.

So this game still depends on Wimbledon who is now trying to find a way to solve it.

Although the opponents in this game did a great job in defense, their offensive strength was really not satisfactory. They only had one attack in the half of the game in fifteen minutes, and it was soon ended by Chu Zhongtian himself. At that time, he made the right judgment and moved the position in advance to block the opponent's change of direction and dribbling the ball.

It is precisely because of the opponent's lack of offense that Chu Zhongtian had the opportunity to stand in the backcourt and think about it.

If you have a superb skill in one kick, rush up and ask Russell for the ball. No one will notice what he is going to do. He has plenty of time to catch the ball and adjust. Then he swings his thigh and kicks the opponent's goal!

What should I do next? Celebrate the goal! Chu Zhongtian has to think about how he would celebrate if he scored... Chu Zhongtian, who came to his senses, looked at Russell, who was still at a loss for attack. In the team's new round of offense, the football passed from his feet, turned around, from left to right, and then passed back to his feet. He no longer knew where to pass it... The opponent covered the penalty area tightly, and no matter how he passed it, he just handed the football to the opponent's feet. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the football stay under his feet for a while.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Chu Zhongtian.

He remembered that when he looked back before receiving the ball, the kid was still in the middle circle. Why did he look at it again and have passed the midfield now?

He remembered that head coach Mr. Eames said that if he could not pass it forward, he would pass it across the board. If it really didn't work, he would pass it back and lead the other party out. Chu Zhongtian rushed up and gave him a chance to do so.

So he stopped hesitating, and held the Hartley Winterney player who was harassing him behind his back, turned around and passed the football to Chu Zhongtian who was running up.

He originally thought that after the football was passed to Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian would pass it back, then attract Hartley Winterney's players bit by bit, leaving the opponent's defense line open and loose, then suddenly pass the football to his feet at the fastest speed, and then complete the fatal pass in front of the penalty area... What did he see?

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he adjusted two steps and directly assisted and swung his right leg and shot from a long shot!

"Damn it!" Russell couldn't help but curse. This was beyond his plan... No one thought that Chu Zhongtian would shoot directly from a long shot. In fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he had a temporary idea, because no one came to defend him immediately after receiving the ball, so once the idea of ​​shooting came out, it would be impossible to suppress him. He must try it.

The football flew over everyone's heads, like a jet plane, penetrated into the sky - Chu Zhongtian shot high.

Hartley Winterney's goalkeeper was such a humorous man. He whistled when he saw the football flying by at least five meters above his head.

Some of the fans of the visiting team made a burst of ridicule. The fans who had been suppressed by Wimbledon's huge singing voices, shouts and boos. Now they finally have the chance to vent their vent while the opponent's fans are stunned. How can they let it go easily?

Russell ran over for Chu Zhongtian with a gloomy face.

"What the hell are you doing?" Chu Zhongtian wasted an offensive opportunity, which made him feel very bad, so he swears when he came up.

"Far-range shot." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands at him.

"The goal is there, not in the sky!" Russell shouted at the goal behind him. "You have wasted one of our attack opportunities!"

After shooting, Chu Zhongtian felt a little sorry. He made an apologetic gesture to Russell: "I just think we should try more long shots..."

"Okay, guys. It's no big deal. In the end, we kicked the ball to the opponent's feet..." Xilin ran back to the backcourt and prepared to deal with the opponent's attack. When passing Russell and Chu Zhongtian, he persuaded him.

Russell tilted his head and glared at Xilin who ran away. The speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Xilin was a satirizing his organization's incompetence in the offensive.

This time it was Chu Zhongtian's turn to comfort him. He patted Russell on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, he just thinks we are too weak in the offensive organization, not targeting you alone."

After saying that, Chu Zhongtian also ran back. Russell stared at Chu Zhongtian with gritted teeth. This was like sprinkling salt on his wounds, because the only person in charge of organizing the offense in the team was Alex Russell.

"Damn it, if you have the ability, come and organize it!" He cursed in a low voice.

※※※Assistant coach Nicky Ingrich, who was on the court, sighed helplessly when he saw this scene. Eames is not a very capable head coach, otherwise he would not have been a head coach in the ninth level league. To be honest, he is the same as Eames. Facing the opponent's desperate tactics, even a world-class coach may not have any good solutions, let alone the two of them.

"Actually, Chu's approach is correct..." Eames suddenly said from the side. "But his long shot is really bad... His shooting is higher than that. At least we still have the possibility of a supplementary shot. Maybe we should let him practice shooting more?"

He turned his head and looked at his assistant coach and said.

Ingrich frowned and thought for a while: "Wody has already given a lot of guidance to Chu in his usual training..."

"That's the defensive guidance, and shooting is the offensive. It's a good routine to insert the offense, but we lack a good offensive midfielder. It's a pity." Eames shrugged and spread his hands. It's really a pity that such a good tactical routine cannot be used.

He fell in love with Chu Zhongtian because he was a pure defender, but now he hoped that Chu Zhongtian would be both offensive and defensive, so he was really greedy... No, this is a manifestation of progress. His requirements for Chu Zhongtian were higher, which means that Chu Zhongtian's position in his heart was higher.

If Chu Zhongtian knew that his head coach actually valued him so much, he would definitely be happier, right? But he would have a headache at the same time - academic, working and football are really difficult to choose. He could not give up his studies to play football. He could not participate in many training and mid-week games. In that case, would he still have a stable chance of playing in the weekend games?

When Chu Zhongtian thought of such a problem, he felt helpless. Although he was in good physical condition, he could not make his day go from twenty hours to forty-eight hours... Chu Zhongtian was troubled by the fact that he didn't have much time after school started. Ingrich also thought of this problem: "College is about to start, and then our team will lose three players at once..."

Eames also frowned, and he was also worried about this problem, although he had not revealed it before. Chu Zhongtian and Russell and Borger are now the absolute main players of the team. Once the three of them cannot participate in the game, the impact on the team will be great... "Are you still thinking about letting Chu be the core player now? If we have a mid-week game, the core player will be absent." Ingrich made up the old accounts again.

Eames glanced at him: "Russell is also a college student, and he is from the same university as Chu."

So both of them stopped talking and just stared at the court and were tranced.

※※※"Chu Zhongtian's shot is really..." Looking at the long shot that hit the plane, as Chu Zhongtian's roommate, Yang Yang didn't know what to say. He held it in for a long time before muttering, "It's really a match with Li Tie..."

"That Chinese player who played football at Everton?" Emily, who was next to her, suddenly interrupted, which scared Yang Yang.

"You actually know?"

Emily smiled: "Because of Chu, I care a little about the Chinese who play football in England."

Yang Yang saw Emily and thought that this woman wouldn't really be moved by Chu Zhongtian, right? Chu Zhongtian was really lucky... But this kind of topic is too sensitive, so it's better not to touch it casually.

Yang Yang did not continue talking, but focused on the court.

Although Wimbledon has a lot of offensives so far in this game, most of them have not threatened the opponent's goal. Since the opponent has been on the defensive, Chu Zhongtian has no chance to perform. This disappointed Yang Yang, who came to see him for a special trip.

In fact, when Chu Zhongtian shot, he was still very excited. He hoped to see Chu Zhongtian shoot the ball in, and then he could excitedly tell the Wimbledon fans around that the person who scored the goal was his fellow townsman and roommate.

If Chu Zhongtian, a Chinese player who plays football, can also be classified as "Chinese Football", this may be one of the few Chinese football people who can bring him happiness.

When Yang Yang felt sad from the bottom of his heart when he thought of his happiness for Chinese football and actually wanted to rely on a classmate who played in an amateur league.
