Twenty strong rivals draw again
Chang Cheng did not blame the players for this failure, he also took responsibility for this failure. Not only the young players were underestimating the enemy, but their coaches also underestimated the enemy. He and his coaches must reflect carefully.
"Yesterday's game was my problem. I did not observe and analyze the opponent carefully and provide wrong information." Zhang Jun carefully reflected on his own problems.
"I underestimated the enemy too. As a coach, I need to take every opponent seriously, but I despise the extraordinary U15. It also directly caused the players to despise the opponent." Mulin was also reflecting.
"Actually..." Chang Cheng suddenly felt a little funny when he looked at Mulin and Zhang Jun, "Hey, I said we were only three of us, and it was like a criticism and self-criticism conference."
Zhang Jun and Mulin looked at me, and I looked at you and laughed.
"Okay, to be honest, no one expected that this time, our coaching staff would have problems with the problem. But I think this loss sounded a wake-up call to me, and this is how the unpopularity was born. Although the level of the participating teams this time is different, the difference is not as big as we imagined. You should know that Manchester United also suffered a fall in amateur teams, not to mention that Bufan is not much different from our level, and some positions are even stronger than us." Chang Cheng paused, "In fact, what I am worried about is not the loss, but the self-adjustment of the young players after the loss. We have been unbeaten before, but were suddenly defeated by a team in the back half of the area. I am afraid that these young players will not be able to adjust, which will cause a series of problems in the subsequent games."
"I agree with Lao Chang, these children must be beaten up." Mulin nodded, "Let's increase the intensity of training this week."
"It depends on how to hit it. Punitive training may have a counterproductive effect. Now their age is in the rebellious period." Although Chang Cheng has not systematically studied adolescent psychology like Xiao Zhi, he has also read books like this.
"What do you think you should do?"
"Let's see their mental state in training tomorrow." Chang Cheng thought for a long time and decided to observe it first.
The training on Monday was still resumed. These young players seemed to think it was not enough, and they also added some tactical drills. Chang Cheng understood at a glance that these tactical drills were all targeting the problems found in the previous failure. Chang Cheng and others nodded repeatedly.
"It's great for these kids to have this intention, although their ideas are still very naive." Mulin was about to go up and help these young players.
"Wait, let's wait for tomorrow if you want to help. Let them think about it for themselves today. It's better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish." Chang Cheng stopped Mulin.
"Fish, do you eat pickled fish at night?" Zhang Jun turned around and asked.
"Get out!" Chang Cheng and Mulin shouted at Zhang Jun in unison.
After the training, the impact of the defeat in the previous game did not seem to have much impact on the young players, and the performance of the children was normal. Chang Cheng and others also put down their hearts and began to prepare for the next game. The opponent in the next game was the U15 team of Kangshun Club in the second division, and it was also a strong opponent. The league was almost halfway through, and they always remained in the top four. U15 in the green field has always maintained first place, while Jiangcheng U15 followed behind and fought for U15 third. These four professional teams have always occupied the top four in the league since the start of the league.
"The opponents are very strong, no worse than us, otherwise they would not be in the top four for a long time. The points are very tight, and they will be surpassed by them if they are not careful. Moreover, the Green Field has won again, and we are already four points away from them, and we are also catching up with each other, only one point away from us, and Kang Shun is only two points away from us. If we lose this game, we will fall to fourth place." Zhang Jun analyzed the league standings.
"The team behind is not easy to deal with. Fourth Middle School and Li Jixue also bit it very tightly, and the score difference is not big, so you must never lose this game." Mulin rarely did not criticize Zhang Jun.
"This round of Green Field vs. One away game?" Chang Cheng frowned as he looked at the matchup.
"Yes, except that we are talking to Kang Shun, the Green Field and the hard-working opponents are not strong. If we lose, we will be widened by them." Zhang Jun also felt that the situation was not optimistic.
"Only by strengthening training and developing targeted tactics, these young players are no worse than theirs. If you add more money, you will have a great chance to win at home." Mullin put forward his own idea.
"Do we have a home advantage?" Zhang Jun seized the loophole in Mulin's words and started to retaliate.
"Uh~" Zhang Jun's words left Mulin speechless, and even Chang Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Chang Cheng also increased the amount for the remaining days of training this week. However, it was not a punishment, but a weak offensive link. The young players also understood that the team's current situation was not very good, and they all held their breath and worked hard to train. The results looked good. The new offensive routines formulated before became more and more skillful, and the cooperation became more and more tacit. Gu Ming, Wang Bowen and Tian Hui performed better and better in the new position.
The day before the game, Chang Cheng asked Zhang Jun to go to see the game between No. 1 Middle School and Green Field in person, so that Zhang Jun could inform the situation of this game at any time.
Finally, the game against the strong team Kang Shun U15 began. Chang Cheng still lined up the strongest lineup, with goalkeeper captain Feng Yaxin, and the back line has not changed. It is still Wang Shuang, Liao Chen, Wei Tao and Zheng Zihan, two central defenders Zhang Jie and Yang Zhi, right forward forward Wang Bowen, left forward Gu Ming, shadow forward Tian Hui, center forward Zhang Rui.
Both sides were very confident in their strength and started the attack at the beginning, and the game was particularly exciting. Gu Ming broke through beautifully, then cut in, and directly sent the ball to the penalty area. Unfortunately, Tian Hui ran one step faster and could only stop quickly, then turned around to hold the football. During this delay, Kang Shun U15's defender filled the loophole, making Tian Hui unable to take the ball comfortably. Tian Hui could only barely kick the ball towards the goal, and the football flew out was weak. Kang Shun U15's goalkeeper easily got the ball.
In a blink of an eye, Kang Shun U15 scored the ball to the penalty area of Jiangcheng U15. Their small cooperation between the front midfielder and the two forwards made it dazzled. Unfortunately, they had no effect in front of the defense line composed of Liao Chen, Wei Tao and Zhang Jie. In the end, Kang Shun U15 had to end the attack with a hasty long shot. Both sides were strong in defense and weak in offense, and they were in a deadlock for a while.
"The game has been going on for thirty-five minutes, and there is no news from Zhang Jun?" Chang Cheng asked Mulin.
"No, maybe it's because Green Field hasn't scored yet." Mulin also found it strange.
"Contact him during the intermission." Chang Cheng continued to pay attention to the game. Both sides were still zero to zero, and attack routines emerged one after another, but the effect was not a little bit. It was not until the last five minutes of the first half. Both sides entered the intermission with a zero to zero score.
"Hey, Zhang Jun? How is the Green Field Game?" As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Mulin called Zhang Jun.
"Don't mention it, there is something wrong here now! Big problem!" Zhang Jun was very noisy, and Zhang Jun said loudly at the top of his throat.
"What's going on over there? I can't hear what you're saying!" Mulin's voice also started.
"They're not quarreling yet!"
"What? Didn't you start? What are you doing?"
"quarrel!!"
"I can't hear clearly!"
"Let's talk about it when I come back!"
Mulin looked at his phone in a daze. Mulin unknowingly raised his voice and attracted Chang Cheng's attention: "What's wrong? Zhang Jun said so?"
"He seemed to say that the game had not started, and it seemed to be arguing, and I couldn't hear what he was saying." Mulin was still a little confused.
"The competition has not started? There may be something wrong. Let's talk about it when he comes back. Let's focus on our competition first." Chang Cheng had to do this first.
At the beginning of the second half, the game was still the same as in the first half. This stalemate lasted until twenty minutes in the second half. Chang Cheng began to mobilize troops and try to make a difference in the remaining time. He replaced Tian Hui with Duan Peng, and Zhao Xiaoyun, who had a stronger attack power, replaced Wang Shuang.
Kang Shun was unwilling to end the game with a draw, and began to change players. He changed three players in one breath and devoted himself to the offense.
For a time, Kangshun U15's new force injected a stimulant into the team and attacked around the gate of Jiangcheng U15. However, Jiangcheng U15's defense line was calm and steadily resisted the opponent's attack. After this time, Jiangcheng U15 began to counterattack, and Zhao Xiaoyun frequently inserted the attack, causing great trouble to the opponent's right. Duan Peng was also constantly circling in the penalty area, looking for all opportunities to score.
The game is good now, but there are no goals. With ten minutes left in the game, Chang Cheng replaced Sun Ming with Sun Ming and continued to strengthen the offense.
Sun Ming, who was newly on the court, was full of energy and launched a strong attack on the opponent's goal in the last ten minutes. Sun Ming took the ball, and perhaps his personal starting speed was not as fast as Gu Ming, but his skills were not much worse than Gu Ming. He shook the right back of Kang Shun U15, who had exhausted energy, to the ground. He easily broke into the penalty area and raised his foot before the opponent's central defender made up. The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew directly to the back corner of the goal.
Bang~. The goal shook twice, and the ball hit the junction of the crossbar and the post, and then fell back to the penalty area. Duan Peng alertly grabbed the position, and pointed the ball to the goal with his head.
At the critical moment, one hand emerged and directly lifted the ball out of the crossbar.
"Ah~!!!!" Both sides exclaimed in unison. But the feelings between the two sides were completely opposite.
Jiangcheng U15 missed the best chance of this game, which also determined the end of the game. Both sides ended the exciting game with a score of zero to zero. It is a pity.
"This is a wonderful game, but unfortunately we didn't score." Kang Shun U15's coach came over to greet Chang Cheng.
"Your team performed very well, I wish you good luck in the game later." Chang Cheng also responded politely.
Chapter completed!
