World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 72 Short Board
The score fell behind, and the Chinese team had no other good method except to increase their offense.

Cao Xiandong took the lead and frequently ran to the opponent's penalty area to participate in support.

But the problem is, this is Zhang Xiaorui's area.

Cao Xiandong came over with the ball, and Zhang Xiaorui suddenly had no place to stand.

If you go forward, it is offside; if you go to the side, it is meaningless.

Zhang Xiaorui had no choice but to back away and stood where Li Tie had been before.

After the two switched positions a few times, even Jin Chi and the others saw the clue.

"What is this kick? Why does Zhang Xiaorui always run around?"

"Why does he always stand back as an offensive player? Go forward, go forward!"

Jin Chi and the two were pressing hard, and Zhang Xiaorui also had troubles that he couldn't tell.

Soon, he was replaced by Horton.

"Oh? Holden played the second substitution card."

"Zhang Xiaorui from the Jianlibao Youth Team was replaced by No. 17 Yao Xia."

"Yao Xia and Ma Mingyu are both from Sichuan Quanxing. I hope there will be sparks between the two club teammates."

Change Li Tie first, then Zhang Xiaorui.

Zeng Zheng was too lazy to say anything.

It's not that he is facing his disciples.

It's that the system between Jianlibao players and the national team is too different to integrate.

After leaving the field, Zhang Xiaorui's mood was obviously different from Li Tie's.

Although he said nothing, the words were written on his face.

Before reaching the bench, he took off his jersey and threw it beside Zeng Zheng.

Before the two of Jin Chi could speak, Zeng Zheng stepped forward and kicked him.

"What, you have such a temper? You don't want to play in the next game?"

According to Zhang Xiaorui's past temper, even if Zeng Zheng said so, he would be tough to the end.

But the thought of the World Cup.

This guy is silent.

Anyway, he has a black face, and no one can see how red he is at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Tie, who was sitting on the other side of Zeng Zheng, couldn't help persuading him: "Heizi, where is this? Did you forget the time to kick Qatar? It's a small scene for me!!!"

Before Li Tie could finish speaking, Zeng Zheng's retracted leg changed direction in the air, and he directly hit Li Tie's knee with his heel.

"If you don't know how to talk, just shut up! Don't blame me if something happens to you."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaorui still looked swollen, Zeng Zheng called Han Tao, who had a "staff" sign hanging around his neck behind him, to his side.

Speaking of which, this World Cup Jianlibao has come to three.

Two players, one handyman.

After traveling with Zeng Zheng for half a year, Han Tao learned a lot from Zeng Zheng.

Coupled with his experience as a coach at the Huayuankou Youth Training Base, Han Tao felt that he could become a football coach in the future.

Seeing that Han Tao had made up his mind, Zeng Zheng of course supported him with both hands.

Whenever there is an opportunity, give it all.

"Xiao Tao, look carefully at the backcourt of Denmark," Zeng Zheng asked, pointing his finger, "Do you know why Zhang Xiaorui has no place after Cao Baier goes up?"

Han Tao, who had already taken out his notebook and recorded it, read it intently for a long time, and finally he hesitated and said, "Is it because Denmark has a lot of defenders?"

"Then why are there so many people?"

Han Tao shook his head.

He couldn't see that layer yet.

"Because we are playing in the center."

Zeng Zheng snapped his fingers and taught Taoism on the spot.

"Zhang Xiaorui, Ma Mingyu, plus Peng Weiguo, these three are the attackers in the middle."

"The opponent has already studied us before kicking, so the defense in the middle is the most."

"Do you remember when the second half started and they kicked aimlessly?"

"Although the kickers were different players, they basically kicked the ball out from the top of their penalty area."

"That is to say, from the beginning of the second half, the Danish coach completely focused on defense."

"It's just that we only pay attention to their offense and didn't notice it."

Han Tao nodded and recorded while listening.

Not to mention Zhang Xiaorui and Li Tie, even Ou Chuliang next to him pricked up his ears.

"In fact, I also supported Horton's replacement of Li Tie at that time. After all, it was indeed an opportunity at that time."

"But his mistake is that he changed to Cao Xiandong who also likes to attack in the middle."

"As soon as Cao Baier moves forward, the opponent's defenders gather again, and the 30-meter area will be more crowded."

"Zhang Xiaorui, don't talk about dribbling the ball to find space, he has no place to stand."

After hearing Zeng Zheng's explanation, Zhang Xiaorui suddenly realized.

The breath that was held in his heart was also let out.

At least he now knows why he was substituted.

Han Tao wrote it down in his mind.

If you can't digest it, you have plenty of time to think about it afterwards.

Before finishing memorizing, Zhang Xiaorui gritted his teeth and asked, "Boss Zeng, what's the situation with Lao Yao? Can Holden replace him?"

"Horton is not Schlappner, he still has two brushes." Zeng Zheng nodded.

"He replaced Yao Xia because he wanted to use his breakthrough ability to move forward."

"Now let's see if Yao Xia can break free!"

As Zeng Zheng expected.

After Yao Xia came on the court, he accelerated to shake Kolding away and sent assists for his teammates in the penalty area.

It's a pity that the golden-headed Lao Mao was a little late when he grabbed the spot. The ball jumped over his scalp and was caught by Schmeichel after bouncing off the ground.

This attack made the fans in the stands gasp.

Just wanted to cheer.

The voice got stuck in his throat.

"Boss Zeng, you are so accurate! Brother Yao, it will work as soon as you use it."

Seeing Zeng Zheng's words turned into reality, Han Tao was very happy.

But Zeng Zheng frowned.

"How long has it been?" Zeng Zheng looked up at the time, then muttered to himself, "72 minutes?"

"Boss Zeng, what's the matter? Do you have any explanation for 70 minutes?" Han Tao asked hastily.

Zeng Zheng shook his head.

It's not that there is no explanation.

He didn't want to say it.

In the late 90s, Jia A had a very common problem.

It's just that the players usually don't play 90 minutes.

Old fans who often go to the scene to watch A-A know that although the game lasts 90 minutes, most of the players only play one point.

60 minutes is the critical value.

Beyond this time, the players are basically walking.

Because I came from a professional team at the beginning, and everyone didn't point to playing football to eat, so there are people from all walks of life, and the physical reserve is the same.

The controversial 12-minute run of bamboo shoes comes from this.

It's ridiculous that some people in later generations say that a normal college student can run down in 12 minutes.

Maybe the living conditions of future generations will be better, and everyone's physical fitness will be improved.

But in this era, the reality is that in the few years since the 12-minute run was first introduced, countless famous players were brushed down by this standard.

Now comes the World Cup.

According to Zeng Zheng's estimation, even if these players gritted their teeth and persisted, they would last about 10 minutes at most.

Coupled with such a high-intensity game in the World Cup.

From 70 minutes onwards, some people should have been left behind.

Yao Xia's kick just now is already a proof.

According to Su Mao's real ability to rush.

The ball can be rubbed with the scalp, and it can be headed straight.

The reason for this result is that the problem lies in physical fitness.

I really can't keep up!

There is one thing that Zeng Zheng never told the others.

That is, among the specific data given by the system, Li Tie and Zhang Xiaorui have the highest physical strength.

Horton's two substitutions directly replaced the two best runners in the team.

If you still can't open the situation, then you can only accept the current result.
