Chapter 18 Desperate

Lao Wang returned to the locker room. His players seemed to be in a good mood and were still joking with each other lazily.

"Okay, stop arguing! Let's talk about the tactical arrangements for the second half!" Lao Wang shouted.

"What more tactics do you need! Isn't it good for us to follow the tactics of the first half?"

"Yes, the opponent is so strong, let's lose less and win instead!"



The players mumbled lazily.

Lao Wang glanced at Gao Yuan meaningfully, his eyes seemed to say: What's wrong, I was right, no one in the team thought they could win!

Gao Yuan secretly cursed in his heart: Damn, one soldier is a raging army, and a den of generals are raging! With a coach like Lao Wang, how can he expect his team members to achieve anything!

Seeing Gao Yuan's furious look, Lao Wang was quite proud. But he still followed the bet agreement and yelled at his players.

"What nonsense are you arguing about! Are you the coach, or am I the coach! Listen to me, let's give it a try in the second half, take the initiative, and press high!"

"ah?"

The players exclaimed in unison, taking the initiative? Pressing high?

Lao Wang, you don’t have a fever, do you think we didn’t die quickly enough?

"The general principle is to press high on defense, move the defense line forward, attack more and retreat less, and move the back line closer to the midfield. Offensively, play simpler, reduce cross-passes and return passes, and catch the ball while running.

Strengthen one-on-one breakthroughs!”

"One-on-one breakthrough? What should I do if I can't get past the defender?"

The center forward didn't have much confidence in his footwork, so he asked with a guilty conscience.

"Can't pass? It's hard to pass! Push the ball forward as hard as you can and compete with the defenders! You're not as good with your feet as they are. Isn't it possible that you can't be as fast as the opponent's 50-year-old man?"

Ma Gan felt that these words sounded familiar and unconsciously glanced at Gao Yuan who was standing in the corner of the locker room.

"And in the midfield, don't stand there waiting for the ball. Look at how many times you were intercepted in the first half. You have to run and catch the ball while running! Do you understand?"

The core midfielder, the man with kidney deficiency, let out a cry and glared at Gao Yuan fiercely.

"Let's talk about the specific formation changes and tactical arrangements..."

The intermission lasted only 15 minutes, and soon the players from both sides appeared on the playing field again.

In the second half, Eastern Suburbs 87 United took the lead in kicking off the ball.

As soon as the ball kicked off, Quancheng Saturday's players rushed forward.

"Huh?"

The striker who kicked off the ball was a little surprised. His opponent, who had been unable to leave his nest in the first half, was stimulated by some unknown factor during the halftime break and actually dared to take the initiative.

He was not in a hurry and calmly passed the ball back to the midfielder, who then passed it to the defender.

Quancheng's players on the field on Saturday did not stop chasing. They actually pressed forward from all fronts, and the forwards rushed directly to press the opponent's defender.

"Oops?" This time, not only the players on the field were surprised, but also the coaches, substitutes, and scattered spectators on the sidelines also saw something different.

This was beyond everyone's expectations. Unexpectedly, Quancheng Saturday, who looked like a coward who refused to fight back in the first half, would actually dare to take the initiative!

As soon as the defender of the Eastern Suburbs 87 United caught the ball, he looked at the opponent's center, swung his long legs like a mantis and rushed forward.

He was a little unprepared and hurriedly kicked the ball away, making a clearance first.

This kick was basically done blindly with eyes closed, but unexpectedly, Quancheng's defense on Saturday was too high up, almost reaching the midfield line.

There is almost an entire half of space left between the defender and the goalkeeper.

The clearance ball passed right between the goalkeeper and the defender. It was out of reach and no one could reach it.

The forward of Dongjiao 87 United had a very keen sense of smell. The moment the defender started to clear the ball, he had already moved forward at high speed and passed by the opponent's fat central defender like the wind, forming an anti-offside position!

Quancheng's Saturday defenders quickly chased back, but were already several positions behind the opponent's forwards.

Single ball!

Dongjiao 87 United made a clearance with one kick, but it turned out to be a single shot to counter offside!

Everyone on and off the court in Quancheng on Saturday turned pale with fright! This is the rhythm of conceding the ball right after the start!

The forward catches up with the ball, unloads the ball, walks the ball, and drives the ball into the penalty area, all in one go, impeccable!

Just take two steps forward and you can shoot, absolutely sure!

But the forward who was dribbling the ball at high speed suddenly felt a little weak in his legs. After all, he was an old man in his 50s. He ran 40 or 50 meters at high speed and was still a little weak.

He could clearly feel the pursuers behind him, quickly approaching him.

We can't go any further, we can only start here!

Swing your legs and shoot!

His movements were still coherent and smooth, and he did not raise his head to observe, because with more than 30 years of experience in playing football, he has reached the state of "nothing in his eyes, but something in his heart"!

The shot ball was so powerful that the goalkeeper couldn't save it, and he and all his teammates could only watch the ball fly towards the goal.

It's over...

Boom!

The ball hit the door frame hard, bounced up, and flew out of the baseline.

The goal frame saved Quancheng's life again on Saturday!

The forward who shot the shot was so upset that he covered his face with his hands and looked up to the sky with a sigh!

If he had been two years younger or two steps forward, he would have been 120% sure to put the ball into the goal!

Time makes people grow old! It was not the opponent who lost this kick! It was not luck! It was just age!

The team members of Quancheng Saturday felt as if they had been granted amnesty, their pale faces as if they had just experienced a moment of life and death.

It’s not that they can’t accept losing! It’s not that they are not mentally prepared for losing by a big score! It’s just that they can’t figure out why they need to change their tactics. It’s obvious that their shrinking defense in the first half can reduce losses, so why should they take the initiative to seek death?

Since we almost conceded the ball right at the start, is it still necessary to continue to stick to this tactic?

Everyone turned their inquiring eyes to the coach Lao Wang on the sidelines.

Lao Wangque and Lao Monk looked as if they were in trance, showing no signs of sadness or joy. He just glanced sideways at Gao Yuan beside him.

At this time, Gao Yuan seemed to have just taken a shower, his whole body was wet and soaked with sweat! His face was pale and his eyes were red, like a kid who had just crawled out of the underworld.

Gao Yuan clearly knew what it would mean if the shot just shot was a few centimeters lower!

If the goal is conceded at the beginning of the second half, it will not only be a lag in the score, but also declare the bankruptcy of one's tactics!

Although 0:2 is not an irreversible disparity, in that case the players will no longer trust this tactic and will unconsciously choose to retreat and defend.

If the ball is lost, Quancheng will only lose a game on Saturday, but he will lose his entire life!

But, does he have any other choice?

From the moment he made the bet, he had no way out!

There is no other way, now that you have made a choice, you can only bear the consequences yourself!

Rather than live in an ignoble existence, he would rather choose to fight heroically!

If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years!

Gao Yuan looked directly at Lao Wang with red eyes and uttered four words viciously.

"If I lose, I'll leave!"

Lao Wang was a little impressed by the boy in front of him. He couldn't even see the coffin without crying, but this boy had half of his body in the coffin and he still refused to let go!

I really don’t know whether to praise him for his persistence or laugh at him for being stupid!

Since you want to die, I will make it happen for you!

Lao Wang had a serious look on his face and shouted at the players on the field: "What are you looking at! Keep pressing high! Just kick how you want!"

The players on the court were all black people with question mark faces: WTF? When did Lao Wang become so smart?

However, having the right way is the courage of a general!

As a coach, Lao Wang is not afraid of a disastrous defeat. The players on the field have nothing to think about.
