Godfather of national football

Chapter 63
Zhou Dun likes to attack. This is an irresistible desire in his heart, because Zhou Dun played football in South America since he was a child.

South American players are different from European players. European players are strict from the beginning of youth training, one is one, and the other is two.

However, South American players like to stay longer when the ball hits their feet. In addition, South Americans are naturally performance-oriented, so sticking to the ball and advocating offense have become the characteristics of South American football.Just like Brazil's central defender "Lucio", he was a striker when he first played, but there are too many strikers in Brazil, Lucio can only slowly move back, and finally moved to the position of central defender.

Zhou Dun explained to Fang Suo that if he goes up, Fang Suo will retreat to make up for him.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything else. I often do this in the club," Fang Suo said with a smile.

"Zheng Zhi was stared at by that tall guy," said a fat man in the stands with a red turban tied on his forehead.

At this time, Fellaini was not as famous as he was later, so this fan called him Gao Guy, because Fellaini's height stood out from the crowd on the court.

A thin man next to him said: "Are all the others dead? Zheng Zhi has been stared at to death. The others should run more."

The fat man breathed out his nose, "Cut, you can, go ahead."

As soon as this remark came out, the thin man was discouraged, and he said who would not know it, but after thinking about it, the thin man was not convinced, we are both fans, why do you criticize me?
The thin man knew that he had to talk about some professional football knowledge at this time, crushing the dead fat man in front of him, so he said, "You don't understand this, right now. It's popular in football now that central defenders get assists, and that's what I mean when I say other people run more."

"Guard assist? Dude, you're a basketball fan, right?" After speaking, the fat man laughed. He was already so fat that he had no waist, but at this moment he almost couldn't straighten his waist from laughing.

The thin man is not convinced, but what can he do?Play the piano to the cow!At this moment, the thin man saw an unbelievable scene on the field, and excitedly shouted at the fat man: "The defender of the Chinese team is going up to attack."

Looking in the direction of the thin man's finger, the fat man was stunned. He rarely watched football, let alone a central defender who could go up and attack. What he didn't know was that football was profound and profound. In the World Cup in South Africa two years later, Germany's goalkeeper Neuer still had the heart of a forward.

After Zheng Zhi received the ball, he bent down instinctively to protect the ball, and Fellaini followed him everywhere. Zheng Zhi could pass the ball to Sun Jihai or Shen Rui, but that required the winger to come back and get the ball.

The attacking routine of the winger is to insert the ball at high speed on the wing, the front midfielder puts the ball into the opponent's rib space, and then the winger either passes the ball in an inverted triangle, or rubs it up and crosses it.This is the most basic routine of the winger attack.

So if the winger needs to come back and get the ball, then splitting the side doesn't make much sense.Just when Zheng Zhi was helpless, he saw a red figure head-on, and when he looked closely, Zheng Zhi was stunned, Zhou Dun!
Since the Dutch pioneered the football concept of total defense, it has become common for defenders to participate in the offense, but it is only limited to assists by full-backs, and central defenders go up to participate in headers when setting the ball.It was the first time Zheng Zhi saw a central defender like Zhou Dun rushing up carelessly.

The instinct of the front midfielder told Zheng Zhi that the ball should be passed to Zhou Dun, but the question came, how to pass it?
For the attacking midfielder, there is an iron law in passing the ball to teammates, that is, the teammates cannot slow down because of receiving the ball.

This rule is simple to say, but it may take a lifetime to implement. For example, masters like Rui Costa and Harvey have excellent grasp of the speed and angle of the last pass.

At this moment, Zhou Dun and Zheng Zhi are facing each other, which means that no matter how much he twists his body, Zheng Zhi can't pass the ball to Zhou Dun's running line.

unless……

This is the only choice. Zheng Zhi kicked his heel and made a gamble pass. The reason for saying this is that if the ball happens to be blocked by Fellaini behind him, and the central defender is out of position, the consequences for the Chinese team can be imagined.

After the ball was passed, Zheng Zhi turned around immediately. Zhou Dun had already dribbled the ball forward. Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, all the fans stood up. No need to know any football tactics, anyone who is not short-sighted can see that the Chinese team has formed a good opportunity in the frontcourt.

The Belgian players were stunned, because they had never seen such a scene before!
Sun Jihai and Shen Rui were also stunned, because they had never seen such a scene before, and they didn't know how to move for a while.

At this time, the only one who had a heart-to-heart connection with Zhou Dun was Chen Gelin. He quickly ran diagonally and led the Belgian central defender away.

Zhou Dun ran to the penalty area and immediately entered the shooting range, that is to say, he was about to face a choice. Should he shoot by himself or pass the ball to Chen Gelin?
There was less than a second for Zhou Dun to think, and soon the Belgian defensive player came up to fill his position, and Chen Gelin from the far end shouted, "Sweep in front of the goal."

Chen Gelin also knew that it was impossible for Zhou Dun to make a through pass like a scalpel. For a defender, it would be better to take a big swipe, whether it hits the Belgian defender or slips to his feet.

In the penalty area, the biggest taboo is indecision. Hearing Chen Gelin's shout, Zhou Dun didn't hesitate any longer, and directly kicked his foot towards the goal. The kick seemed to pass and shoot, and the ball rolled into the far corner after passing through two defensive players.

The moment the ball rolls into the goal, the Belgian players are looking, what are they looking at?See if Chen Gelin is in an offside position.According to the latest rules, even if Chen Gelin didn't touch the ball, he participated in the offense, so as long as he was in an offside position, the ball would be up for grabs.

But the linesman didn't say anything. Only then did the Chinese fans realize that they should celebrate. The happiness came too suddenly.

Players on the field ran to Zhou Dun one after another. Zhou Dun was known as a stone Buddha, and everyone dared not give him to the Arhat, so they gave him hugs.

"Good job, Zhou Dun," said Li Weifeng.

Zhou Dun smiled lightly, then ran towards Zheng Zhi, he knew that 50.00% of the credit for the ball was due to Zheng Zhi's heel pass in seconds.

"Beautiful biography," Zhou Dun gave Zheng Zhi a thumbs up.

Zheng Zhi smiled slightly: "It's foolish."

Half of this statement is true. Of course, there is an element of luck in passing the ball with the heel, but the overall view of the front midfielder is also the key.

As soon as the goal was scored, the Belgian bench was silent. They lost to Brazil in the first game. They thought it would be a matter of course to beat the Chinese team in the second game, but now it seems that they underestimated the enemy.

The head coach didn't say anything, just asked all the substitute players to warm up, and this silent protest made the big names on the court feel uncomfortable.
