Chapter 305: Different Passion-Love
Hong Kong, China coach bench.
Wan Sheng was sitting in his seat, watching the game earnestly. The camera pointed at him. It could be noticed that his expression was serious, but there was also a hint of relaxation.
Fan Zhiyi and Bergkamp sat aside.
In just two days of contact, Fan Zhiyi has already met Bergkamp. Fan Zhiyi's English is not too standard, but he can still communicate with Bergkamp. Now they are talking about the game.
"It's okay to play now, but you still have to pay attention to defense." Fan Zhiyi was a little worried about defense. This may be because the team has always paid attention to defense in the process of preparing for the game.
Bergkamp has a different view. "I think we should be more active in the fight, let them fear us and show the team's advantages."
Hearing this, Wan Sheng turned his head and smiled, "I think so too."
"Oh?"
Fan Zhiyi looked at Wansheng. Although Bergkamp is a big star, Wansheng is the one with strong ability in terms of coaching and leading the team. He is also the team's head coach.
"If the game goes on like this, it's impossible to say who will score first, so we should play harder, play strong, and play an advantage, so that the chances will be greater."
Fan Zhiyi nodded thoughtfully.
He didn't know if Wan Sheng was right or not, but he just felt that it was a little dangerous for Hong Kong, China to fight with Thailand like this.
Wan Sheng also knew the danger, but he didn't take it seriously.
In other words, how can a football game not be dangerous? Who is sure to win? The competition between the two teams is the chance, and the more chances are the most likely to win.
Offense and defense are originally two extremes. To defend well, you must give up some offense, and vice versa, if the team plays tougher, it will definitely win more initiative and more opportunities. That way there is more hope of winning.
Now, the game has only just begun.
Unlike the Thai coach Chavet, they don't think the team is fighting against the Thai team with only one momentum, because he knows that the players have not fully integrated into the game. This is Thailand's home court after all. The shouting of the fans still caused some disturbance to the performance of the players. In other words, the team has not started to play its strength yet.
Now that the team can play evenly with Thailand, the team will not be at a disadvantage in the future.

On the field, 20 minutes have passed.
After 20 minutes of fierce confrontation, the players of the two teams have gradually entered the state, and the cooperation between them has begun to play out, and the intensity of the confrontation has not decreased. On the contrary, it was a little more intense.
Zhuo Zhuo stood at the forefront of the formation in Hong Kong, China.
Start with the game. The words of the coach echoed in his mind, "...We have to play more resolutely, no matter what choice we make in the game, don't hesitate, pass the ball when you need to, shoot when you need to, and do whatever you want. Decisive... If there is a chance in front, shoot directly. Don't hesitate, and don't think about whether the chance is big or not. Come on with a ruthless force... Fighting, you have to play harder and more manly..."
These are the words that guide me on what to do in the game.
Zhuo Zhuo also followed Wan Sheng's words. From the first minute of the game, he played very tough and determined.
As a striker, he often has to face the entanglement of the opponent, as well as various small actions of Thai players, so that he has to face more than just defensive pressure, so Zhuo Zhuo rampages in front, running, crowding, Looking for a position, he kept colliding with the opponent's defender. After receiving the pass, when he saw that he was about to be stolen, he directly swung his big foot and kicked forward hard, and his 'shooting' was two consecutive times. They all hit the opponent's player and popped out of bounds. Maybe it's not called a shot. It was a kick when he was about to be stealed. But this approach worked. This time, the defending Thai player saw him lift up. With his right foot, he dodged subconsciously, and then Zhuo Zhuo easily jumped over with the ball.
A successful breakthrough!
After Zhuo Zhuo completed the breakthrough, the center defender Jide Shawad greeted him. During the process of running over, he shouted a big pass, as if he was blaming his teammates for letting Zhuo Zhuo break through easily.
In the face of Jide Shawad, Zhuo Zhuo chose to pass the ball.
He passed the ball to Chen Zhaoji, who was plugged in. Chen Zhaoji was a little slower to catch the ball and was entangled by the opponent's player Pedpon.
At this moment, Zhuo Zhuo shouted, "Shoot!"
Only then did Chen Zhaoji react, remembering what the coach said before the game, and after that, he turned around and swung his right foot towards the goal.
"Bang!"
The football bounced high on Pede Pong's leg, and was then cleared by Thai full-back Sawawin to get out of the bottom line.
There is no threat to the shot, but this attack reminded Chen Zhaoji what to do. The kick just now was very enjoyable. Even if the opponent blocked it, at least the shot was completed, and the feeling of the football hitting the opponent... Very cool!
"Let Ni-Ma have to entangle again! Next time I will do this again!" Chen Zhaoji thought.
Soon the next wave of the Hong Kong team's attack came again. This time, Zhuo Zhuo was outside the penalty area, 30 meters away from the goal, and took a long shot. The football passed between the two Thai defenders and went straight to the goal. Go left.
Thai goalkeeper Gede Pudsha is doing well and will save the ball to the bottom line.
The Hong Kong team won a kick.
Fullback Luo Zhikun took a corner kick and the football went straight to the front. Zhuo Zhuo and the opposing player fell to the ground in the fight, but the referee did not signal a foul. In the chaos, Thai midfielder Sri Pan cleared the ball out of the sideline.
After Luo Zhikun sent the ball from the sideline, Jiang Shihao lifted the ball to the middle again, and Chen Zhaoji used the top of his head to point the ball back to Zhuo Zhuo.
Zhuo Zhuo had almost no hesitation, and directly raised his foot to volley to meet the ball.
Such a difficult shot, it is too difficult to hit a threat. As a result, the football flew out of bounds from the top of the crossbar, completely flying.
Zhuo Zhuo covered his face in annoyance, smiled embarrassedly at his teammates, and walked back.
However, the media's evaluation of this wave of offensive in Hong Kong, China is still very high.
Gao Jixian, a commentator of Super Sports Channel S, said, "Hong Kong, China has continuously launched offensives against the Thai goal, and the wave after wave cannot be stopped. The Thai team was attacked in a hurry. Although it did not cause much threat, Zhuo Zhuo's first time Shooting is still worth watching, mainly. The Hong Kong team played an imposing manner, and the pressured opponent couldn't breathe..."
Japan's NTV TV commentator Onodera Gono also had to admit, "The continuous offensive of the Hong Kong team has brought a lot of trouble to the Thai people."
"The competition between the two teams is very fierce, and it is completely impossible to see that the Hong Kong team has a disadvantage in strength." Then he made a judgment. "But as time goes by. The Hong Kong team's hard work will drop a lot, and Thailand is likely to have an advantage at that time..."
Regardless of Onodera's predictions, Thailand hasn't felt an advantage, at least so far.
The only feeling of the Thai players on the field is that the game is really hard to play!
Before the game, many media analyzed that the Hong Kong team won Australia by relying on defense and luck. Coach Chavett said the same. Chavett and their statement is that Hong Kong, China is likely to choose to defend, and what they need to pay attention to is how to break through the dense defense to score goals.
So they all think that the team should press Hong Kong, China to play.
But the game was not like this. The Hong Kong team played very hard on the field, and they came up with a desperate look.
In this regard, the Thai frontcourt players feel the most obvious.
Striker Nuttenham has been defended, and so far he has not had a good performance. Because the opposing defenders are too hard on him, that's all. Nuttenham doesn't care either, after all, there is a gap between the opponent's strength and them.
Nuttenham feels that the opponent is playing too hard!
Just like just now, when he just got the ball, the opponent rushed over, which made him a little stunned. Then he just took a step with the ball, and the opponent fell to the ground and tackled the ball. If he hadn't hid quickly, maybe It was shoveled to the ankle.
Even so, Nuttenham is not afraid, his teammates will do the same when playing against strong teams, but the key is that the players of this Hong Kong team are too tough!
This is Nuttenham's most obvious feeling.
Nuttenham never imagined that he would encounter a situation where he did not want to make physical contact with the opponent in the game with the Hong Kong team.
In the Thai team, he is also considered strong, but after several physical collisions with the opponent's players, he felt the muscles in his arms and thighs emitting bursts of pain.
This is the Hong Kong team of China! ?
It's completely a European team, or even an African team, okay?
Look at their players, each of them seems to be no stronger than their own, but when they collide, they are completely disadvantaged!
Other Thai players felt similar to Nuttenham. They had physical contact with Hong Kong players several times. They were the ones who were at a disadvantage, especially when they collided with each other when they grabbed the ball. It still hurts for half a day.
The difference in physical fitness is too obvious!
It is difficult for fans and spectators to see this situation, because even if the players collide with each other, they only hurt once and then continue the game. On the scene, it seems that the two teams are evenly matched, but in fact the Thai players are suffering 'physical damage'.
The fierce confrontation in the game really made them suffer.
————
The only surprise in this situation is Wansheng.
Hong Kong, China and Thailand are both teams in eastern Asia, and the physical qualities of the players are similar. Hong Kong, China is not weak in this regard. During the half-month training period, Wansheng asked the players to do the most training, which is about improving In terms of confrontation ability, half a month is not long, but on average, each player still improves the evaluation of confrontation ability attribute by 2 to 3 points.
On the field of play, it is difficult to show the advantages of 2 to 3 points of attribute evaluation, but don't forget that Wansheng's coaching skills, players' union skills, honor skills, etc., are bonuses to players' attributes and abilities. .
After Wansheng coached the team, 'not weak ability' has become an advantage. With the bonus effect of various attributes, the confrontation ability of each player in the team has improved a lot, so it should be stronger than the Thai team. out a lot.
So in frontal physical confrontation, the Thai team will naturally be at a disadvantage.
This is the biggest advantage of Hong Kong, China.
Maybe they are semi-professional players, or maybe the team’s skills and abilities can’t keep up with their opponents, but in terms of confrontation ability, it is completely the advantage of Hong Kong, China, so in the case of head-to-head confrontation, the Hong Kong team is not at a disadvantage.
It's like an African team playing a European team.
The technical strength of African teams is not strong, and the overall technical and tactical quality is not high, but it is not easy for European teams to win African teams, just like a strong team like Ghana. Even strong teams such as Spain and Germany will have a headache, because their players are so physically fit that they have a big disadvantage in confrontation.
That's how it is on the field now.
In terms of technology, the Thai team played better than Hong Kong, China, both in terms of individual ability and cooperation. But they just can't play an advantage on the scene. Hong Kong, China played harder than them and fought more aggressively.
In addition, Hong Kong, China's frequent long-range shots in several attacks also caused a lot of threats to Thailand's goal.
One of the most interesting players is striker Chen Zhaoji.
After Zhuo Zhuo's reminder, Chen Zhaoji thought of what the coach said before the game, that his long-range shooting skills were good. The feet are also very strong. So he got the ball in front of the penalty area and shot directly. Two of the three-legged ball did not pose a threat, but the two-footed shot that did not pose a threat made several Thai defenders tremble. That kind of vigorous shot, If it is directly stuck on the face, the scene will not be too good-looking. They estimate that they may end up directly.
36 minutes. The attack on Hong Kong, China has come again.
The Chinese Hong Kong team and the Thai team continued to compete near the midline, and the ball was changed three times in a row. In the end, wing midfielder Huang Zhenyu kicked the ball to the front, and Zhuo Zhuo received the ball and made a direct pass to the middle.
Chen Zhaoji received the pass and turned to kick up.
Watching Chen Zhaoji's turn around, the defending Pedpon subconsciously shrank his neck, but Chen Zhaoji did not choose to shoot, but changed the action to take the ball from one side.
When Pedpon reacted, he couldn't catch up.
Chen Zhaoji took two steps forward and saw another Thai player coming to defend, he glanced at the door and kicked again--
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the football went straight to the goal.
Thai goalkeeper Gede Pudsha judged the position to make a strong save, but Chen Zhaoji's shot was powerful and tricky.
————
"Zhu Zhuo! Zhuo Zhuo! He passed the ball to Chen Zhaoji..."
"Chen Zhaoji shot!"
"Oh, no! It wasn't a shot, he did a fake, very realistic, the defender got duped... He continued to dribble the ball forward... shoot!?"
"It's a shot, the ball is in! The ball is in!"
"The ball is in--!!"
"Gooooal!!"
The Hong Kong commentator shouted excitedly, "Chen Zhaoji! Chen Zhaoji! Chen Zhaoji! He helped China Hong Kong score a goal, 1:0, with a direct shot from the penalty area! Made an accurate save, but the ball went in!"
"Nice job! 1:0! 1:0!"
"Hong Kong, China is ahead!"
During the passionate commentary of the Hong Kong commentator, other media were also talking about scoring goals.
"Goal scored! Hong Kong team striker Chen Zhaoji, he helped Hong Kong team score a goal! A clean long shot!"
"Chen Zhaoji's extraordinary performance is very interesting, the Thai defenders seem to be afraid of him!"
"The shot was powerful, great shot! The Hong Kong team took the lead after 37 minutes. It was an amazing lead, they fought for nearly 40 minutes and finally scored a goal. The Thai fans of the host may find it difficult to accept this. score……"
"Hong Kong, China is lucky, they scored a goal to lead Thailand! If they can win the Thai team in this game, it is almost equivalent to locking a promotion spot in advance!"
"..."
In the chaos of the report, Wan Sheng had already stood up with his fists clenched.
After nearly 40 minutes of the game, the team finally scored, and he felt very excited at this moment.
Not just for scoring goals!
In fact, for the current Wansheng, it is difficult for him to be excited by a goal, and for the Thai team, Hong Kong, China has no disadvantage in strength, even if the victory is actually nothing remarkable, but the meaning of this goal is different.
Whether coaching Derby County or Manchester City, Wan Sheng is used to using tactics and play style to complete goals and solve opponents, but now this Hong Kong team has started too badly and can't play any decent tactics at all. Let's talk about it. Complex tactics are meaningless.
So in this game with the Thai team, the only thing I can do is to fight head-on.
Wansheng has no certainty of winning. It is the first time for him to really let the team go hard against the opponent, but now the team has scored a goal. This is not caused by tactics or the ability of the players. , it is completely relying on the whole team to fight hard.
If this game is won, it will be a victory for the entire team!
This brings Wansheng a different feeling.
He was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted, hugging tightly with Bergkamp and Fan Zhiyi. He didn't care about his image at all, he just wanted to revel with others.
This is football.
Different goals bring people different passions! (To be continued ~^~)
