Football: The King of Efficiency, the Ball Must Go in the Small Penalty Area

It's game day.

In the 8th round of the league, Chievo played at home against the visiting Cesena.

After a restorative workout in the afternoon.

Xu Feng was stopped by head coach Decree.

"Xu Feng, wait a minute, join me in the pre-match press conference later.

"Pre-match press conference?"

Xu Feng was a little surprised.

The conference is usually attended by head coach Decree and captain Perissier.

Why are you calling yourself this time?

Decree smiled and said, "Xu Feng, you are now the core figure of the team."

"In addition to explaining the situation of some teams in the pre-match press conference.

"And answer some questions from the media.""

"A lot of media now want to interview you."

"And sometimes the questions raised by the media are closely related to you, and it would be more appropriate if you answered them yourself.35

"So this is actually not my decision, but your own strength."

"Think about it, if a team's press conference does not have the core of the team's strength, the look and feel of this press conference will be somewhat less credible."

Xu Feng nodded thoughtfully.

The two then came to the media conference site.

The appearance of Xu Feng has also been exclaimed by the media.

I saw some commotion in the media.

Decree hurriedly said hello in advance.

"Don't worry, all the media, Xu Feng can answer your questions in the question-and-answer session that follows."

Xu Feng looked at the illuminating flashes of various lens spotlights in front of him.

A little uncomfortable for a while.

Pelissier on the side whispered to Xu Feng.

"In previous media conferences, there were not so many people.

"At most three or four media outlets.

"At the worst of 31, there was only one media."

"Since the team played well, plus your reasons. 55

"The current sports media keep running towards us!

"It's really emotional!"

Decree finished.

As the captain, Pelissier said some scenes that he would definitely do his best and strive to win in this game.

Wait for him to finish.

"Okay, now it's time for questions," said Decree.

The media scrambled to raise their hands.

Decree could only ask questions by name.

"I would like to ask Xu Feng, what are your thoughts on your statistic of scoring 12 goals in 7 rounds?"

Xu Feng replied calmly: "No idea, as a striker, it is enough to work hard to score goals and help the team win.

The reporter was stunned for a moment, but did not expect a player of Xu Feng's age group.

The answer is so official, it feels like a leak.

In this age group, the scorer ranks first.

I am afraid that I should have been afraid of the sky and not afraid of the earth, and floated to the sky!

If it was replaced by other players, it is estimated that he would have to answer, and he would definitely take the top scorer of this season and so on.

The second reporter stood up: "Excuse me, Xu Feng, how are you today, can you still score goals?

Xu Feng glanced at Decree.

I wanted to ask him if he could disclose the fact that he would not be present today.

Decree nodded at him.

It's going to kick off in a few hours.

Even if the opponent knew about Xu Feng's absence, it would not have much impact.

Xu Feng replied: "I didn't make the starting roster for this game today, and I had one rest.

There was a commotion in the media.

He didn't seem to expect that Chievo's core Xu Feng would not play in today's game.

"Xu Feng, if you don't play in this game, do you think it will have a big impact on the team's offense?"

Xu Feng replied calmly: "I believe my teammates are actually very good.

"Even without me, it would not be difficult to win the game.

"Xu Feng, your current strength is already outstanding. Have you considered going to other teams and trying some new challenges?"

Xu Feng felt helpless, these media are really watching the fun and it's not a big deal.

Even with a few questions to myself, I felt like digging a hole for myself.

Even the topic of transfers has to be asked.

Xu Feng replied with a smile: "I don't have any consideration for this at the moment, I just need to play the game well for now. 35

Decree also sweated for Xu Feng next to him.

He also did not expect that the questions raised by these media were so direct.

Fortunately, Xu Feng's answers were very decent.

Decree couldn't help sighing.

Xu Feng's emotional intelligence is really too much.

In the face of so many media, the response is very calm.

Really can't believe it, this is just a young player who is only 20 years old.

"Okay, that's it for today's press conference!"

Decree told the media.

After leaving the press conference, Xu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Xu Feng, I was taken aback by your answer just now.

"I remember the first time I attended the press conference, I couldn't say anything right. 35

Pelissier laughed.

"But this is normal, you have had pre-match speeches and strong mobilization operations, you should be able to cope with this scene.

a few hours later.

The starters for both teams walked onto the field.

Decree didn't expect Xu Feng to take a break.

It is not the opponent who reacts the most.

But the audience of Chievo fans.

When the on-site commentator read out the starting lineup of the game.

The Chievo fans at the scene discovered this.

Xu Feng didn't even start today!

They all looked towards the field.

Sure enough, there was no black-haired Xu Feng.

The fans are off at this point.

"Xu Feng! 35

"Xu Feng!""

"Xu Feng!""

Many fans have already shouted out collectively.

In the stands closest to Decree, many fans even shouted at Decree on the sidelines.

"Why not let Xu Feng play!?

"Xu Feng is the core of Chievo!"

"Without Xu Feng, can you win the game ahead of you?! 35

"We're going to see Xu Feng appear!

Decree shook helplessly.

The league has played seven games.

No matter how blind you are, will you not know how important Xu Feng is to the team?

Decree turned around and shouted to the fans: "Are you trying to exhaust Xu Feng from injury?!55

After he finished speaking, Decree turned around and didn't bother to talk nonsense to these fans.

But fans were emotionally complaining.

Decree can understand.

After all, it's all about paying for tickets to watch the game.

Xu Feng is now undoubtedly the absolute star of the team.

Gained a lot of fans.

Naturally, many people came for Xu Feng.

These fans heard Decree.

This is a little more peaceful.

But for Xu Feng can't play.

There are still many fans who have some regrets in their hearts.

In this game, except for Shalio, who replaced Xu Feng in the starting lineup.

In other positions, Chievo is the main force, full of state of play.

So whether it is the fans, or Chievo's players and coach Decree.

They are very confident in winning this game.

However, as the game begins.

Everyone found that things were far from being as simple as they thought.

Cesena as a new army in Serie A.

In the first seven rounds, only one game was won.

So they are visiting Chievo home today.

Keep your stance very low.

Their goals today are also very realistic.

Reality to the first minute from the opening.

Chievo's players all saw that Cesena's determination to score points in this game.

That's right, Cesena for this game.

Fight to get a point!

Just kick-off, Chievo found that Cesena was not quite right.

After they kick off, why do they keep falling behind in the backcourt?

Obviously the midfielder did not put any pressure on them.

And Chievo's frontcourt players, they did not press.

Because when the strength is obviously stronger than the opponent.

There is no need for pressing tactics.

Because this will not only consume a lot of physical strength.

In case you can't score under high pressure.

It's a bit of a loss.

Slowly fight back and forth with your opponent.

Rely on the strength slightly stronger than the opponent.

You can also win the game.

But now Cesena. . .

They've been to their feet for almost five minutes in the midfield!

Seeing that it can't go on like this.

Perlisier shouted to several teammates in the frontcourt.

The teammates knew what he meant.

So open 177 and start to take the initiative to go up and rush.

Forcing Cesena to pass the ball forward.

This Cesena is really interesting.

A look at Chievo's crazy rush.

They then tried their best to pass the ball in a small area and get rid of it.

If there is really no line out of the ball.

They are like opening a blind box, and it is a long pass towards the frontcourt.

It is not so much a long pass, as a blind pass.

Because of this long pass, in all likelihood, Chievo's defender will get it.

It's not that Cesena striker's personal ability is not enough.

Instead. . .

Decree felt something was wrong.

He took a look at the opponent's starting roster.

Because it is a new army that has just risen in the Serie B.

There are basically no named players on the team.

They are all grass-roots players with a solid style of play.

Decree compared the starting lineup for the last Cesena game.

Only then did I find that Cesena did not send a striker in this game at all!

Cesena played the 451 single arrow lineup in this game.

Actually the 1 on the front line.

Not a striker at all.

But a midfielder.

And the position of the player at this time.

It also rarely stands in the area where the striker should go.

The running position is still basically like a front midfielder.

Such formations and player movements.

Take the wool to catch the blind long pass from the backcourt players!

No wonder Chievo's players easily control the ball.

But when Chievo players attack with the ball.

Only then did I realize how resolute Cesena's determination to keep the game to a tie is!

When Chievo attacked.

Cesena's double midfielder immediately retreated.

Directly and central defenders stand in a line.

The original four-back became a six-back in an instant.

The central defender has changed from two to four.

The fake striker is no longer pretending.

Also retreated into a defensive midfielder.

The team directly became a 640 formation.

And the position is extremely conservative, completely ignoring the possibility of getting the ball and counterattacking.

Chievo team stupid.

This. . . The Ultimate Iron Barrel Array?!.
