Chapter 105 Concentrate, Feng Qiyuan!
Although the celebration was over, the television cameras were still firmly focused on Wang Lie.
Because he is the brightest star in this game.
His every move touches people's hearts and attracts much attention.
So Wang Lie's finger pointing at Feng Qiyuan was naturally captured.
In the TV broadcast, a telephoto lens was used to compress the space and bring Wang Lie and Feng Qiyuan together, making Wang Lie's intention to point at Feng Qiyuan more obvious.
He not only pointed at Feng Qiyuan, but also tapped his hand for emphasis.
"Haha! Beautiful! Use your face to output!"
Tang Lingfeng, who was in front of the TV, saw his son-in-law's action and happily clapped his legs, laughed and praised.
His wife Wei Qin, who was sitting next to him, first "tsk" at her husband, and then said worriedly: "Alie's doing this...will it make people think that he is deliberately targeting his national team teammates?"
Tang Xingmei explained to her mother: "He just wants to target Feng Qiyuan, Mom."
"Ah?" Wei Qin didn't understand, "Why?"
"Mom, you know what Ariel's goal is, right?"
"Yes, World Cup champion."
This matter is not a secret, nor is it only known to Wang Lie’s family.
In fact, all Chinese fans know it.
Because Wang Lie has said more than once that his goal is to lead the Chinese team to win the championship.
At first, everyone just thought it was the ravings of a young genius.
Later, when Wang Lie helped the Chinese team create the best performance in the history of the quarterfinals in the local World Cup, many people really began to look forward to the Chinese team winning the championship...
At that time, everyone praised him for his ambition, and he was praised for his "championship heart".
After the 2034 Saudi World Cup, everyone gradually stopped mentioning it.
Because in their opinion, Wang Lie had lost the opportunity to realize his ambition. Bringing it up is more like rubbing salt into Wang Lie's wounds... Out of respect for this Chinese football hero, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it to avoid Wang Lie's embarrassment.
It was not until the past two years that everyone mentioned this goal again. "Winning the World Cup" is no longer a good thing that makes people excited when talking about it. Instead, it has become a "meme" that appears in the news about Wang Lie strangely. In the comment area or barrage.
He believes that this "World Cup championship" is no longer a great dream, but has become a curse that binds Wang Lie. That's why he insists on not retiring even though his physical functions can no longer keep up... It affects the update of the national team. The change of generations has also blocked the upward path for young people.
Wang Lie's goal has never changed, but everyone's evaluation of his goal has experienced disappointing changes.
"Next year's World Cup should be Ariel's last World Cup." Tang Xingmei said, "He hopes that his teammates can become stronger and better. Only in this way can he achieve this goal. Feng Qiyuan is already a member of the national team. The strongest central defender, one of the best in Asia, but Ariel feels that this is not enough, he should do better.”
"Ah... isn't this a bit harsh?" Wei Qin didn't quite understand this idea.
"If the goal is just to participate in the World Cup, that is indeed harsh. But if it is to win the World Cup, that is a normal requirement. In order to win the World Cup, everyone, including Ariel, must do their best." Tang Xingmei said.
"Do you think you can win the World Cup if you do your best?" Wei Qin asked curiously.
"Of course you still need luck. But if you don't do your best, you don't even have the qualifications to expect good luck." The daughter replied seriously.
Tang Lingfeng loudly agreed with his daughter: "Meimei is right! If you don't try your best, how can you talk about luck?"
This time the wife did not dislike her husband for being noisy, but just sighed: "It is already very difficult for him to work so hard, and he wants everyone in the national team to work as hard as him? How difficult it must be..."< br>
Tang Xingmei didn't answer her mother because she thought so too.
How difficult is this...
※※※
"What is Wang Lie doing?" Cai Bokang, the national football assistant coach in front of the TV, frowned and asked when he saw this scene.
After Wang Lie and Feng Qiyuan were in the same frame, the TV broadcast gave two people close-ups respectively.
After being pointed at by Wang Lie, Feng Qiyuan's face changed obviously.
An unhappy expression appeared on Mu Ran's face.
This can be seen from his slightly dilated nostrils and furrowed brows.
"Why are you provoking Xiao Feng when you have nothing to do? Is it for revenge?"
This guess is not too far-fetched.
Because with Wang Lie's character and temper, it is not surprising that he would do such a thing.
If you just browse the Internet, you can find too many old news about Wang Lie's "revenge".
In the first half of the season, Feng Qiyuan froze Wang Lie. Combined with the public opinion environment at the time, the impact was actually quite large, especially in China.
Many people use this as evidence that Wang Lie is old, and use it to endorse He Zhenyong's national team reforms, believing that the national team coaching staff headed by He Zhenyong has done the right thing.
Wang Lie remained silent at that time, and no one knew what he thought about this matter.
But not expressing a stance may already be a statement...
So at that time, some people thought that when Wang Lie was in the most difficult time, Feng Qiyuan's freezing of him was the last straw that crushed him. At any time before, this was not something worth making a big deal about, but at that time It's very critical at that time.
Being ridiculed and questioned by the crowd made Wang Lie lose face.
How could he be upset?
No matter how hard Feng Qiyuan tried to explain to "Brother Wang" and put himself down, how could he not have any resentment towards this "culprit"?
It's just that at that time, it seemed that he couldn't even stay in Europe, and there was nothing he could do no matter how unhappy he was. This may also be the reason why he has not expressed his stance.
Later, he moved to Tyne and his performance got better and better. From this, Wang Lie had the idea of slapping him in the face, which seemed not unbelievable...
Holding his breath, he wanted to tell the world again in the match with Feng Qiyuan that it was just an accident before, but now he is the real Wang Lie.
As for how he would get along with Feng Qiyuan in the national team after he slapped his national teammate in the face...that was not something Wang Lie would consider. He just had to let his thoughts flow.
If Feng Qiyuan is unhappy, just hold it in. Who makes Wang Lie the big brother and top superstar of the national team?
What kind of champion and level are you, Feng Qiyuan, and how dare you be dissatisfied with Wang Lie?
Be bold!
He Zhenyong disagreed with Cai Bokang's guess: "In the past, I thought your guess was reasonable. But now I think Wang Lie didn't want to slap Feng Qiyuan in the face. He should have his own considerations..."
After Cai Bokang was reminded by He Zhenyong, he remembered that in the last national team game, the coaching staff notified Wang Lie to serve as a substitute, and he agreed without expressing any displeasure.
Wang Lie seems to have changed a lot now from before, so it seems unreasonable to speculate on Wang Lie in such an extreme way.
"Then what is he doing?"
He Zhenyong shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe you can call Wang Lie after the game and ask?"
Cai Bokang thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's feasible."
The relationship between the national players will affect the atmosphere and unity within the national team. As a member of the national team coaching staff, you must pay attention to this aspect.
If Feng Qiyuan was not the Chinese national team player, Cai Bokang would not be so gossipy about calling and asking about such trivial matters...
※※※
It was the 42nd minute of the first half when Wang Lie scored, and there was little time left before the end of the half.
But Tyne did not relax, but continued to strengthen the attack.
In the last few minutes of the first half, Witton Hill fans felt that it was the most dangerous moment.
Every possession from Tyne seemed to result in a goal.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe Witton Hill's defense as "broken."
If there were a few more minutes of stoppage time in the first half, the home team might have already fallen behind 0:3 when the referee blew the halftime whistle.
In that case, the suspense of victory or defeat in this game will be completely lost...
"The first half is over! With the goals of Vitini and Wang Lie, Tyne temporarily leads Witton Hill 2:0 in the away game!"
"In the first half, LaManna pioneered the strategy of defending Wang Lie with a 'nougat' strategy, but it certainly did not achieve the effect he wanted. LaManna had to make adjustments during the halftime break, and he should consider it now What matters is not how to guard Wang Lie, but how to score goals..."
Zhao Chuanfeng's analysis was correct. After returning to the locker room, Witton Hill's head coach LaManna really changed his tactical arrangements.
He called Feng Qiyuan's name: "Feng, your performance in the first half was very good. The two goals you conceded have little to do with you. This is a problem for me as the head coach. In the second half, you stayed at the center back like usual. Only when the king appears in our defensive third zone, you can stick to it..."
Feng Qiyuan got his wish, and logically speaking, he was liberated.
But he didn't feel relieved.
In fact, he didn't respond at all to the head coach's praise or comfort, and the dull expression on his face did not change.
Ramana didn't pay much attention.
He felt that it was normal for Feng Qiyuan not to be satisfied with his performance in the first half, and he still had to digest some of his emotions by himself.
Lamanna turned to other teammates and said: "We will play 352 in the second half. Yakub, please come down and rest..."
The team's starting right back Jakub Starpowitz lowered his head and reluctantly accepted this arrangement.
The score fell behind and the game was changed to 352. It definitely requires two full-backs with strong offensive capabilities, and as a right-back, he is better at defense than offense. So when the team needs to strengthen its wing offensive, there is nothing they can do if he is adjusted down...
※※※
As the halftime break came to an end, players from both teams came out of their respective locker rooms and walked to the court.
Feng Qiyuan dragged behind consciously.
He has been thinking about a problem since he entered the locker room, and he hasn't completely thought it through yet.
That's what Brother Wang's gesture means.
At first he felt that Brother Wang was provoking him.
But later he felt that Brother Wang should not do this.
In other words, based on his respect for Brother Wang, he didn't believe that Brother Wang would be so... "dishonorable" to him.
Because in the fifteenth round, he and Brother Wang were just normal opponents, and there was no enmity before.
As an opponent, isn't it his job to defend Brother Wang and prevent him from scoring a goal? What's the problem?
The problem is those scumbags on the Internet who use themselves to vent their dark emotions and the media who hype up topics to gain traffic. I am just competing normally. How innocent!
If Brother Wang feels unhappy, it should not be unhappy with himself, but with those black men who use him to humiliate him.
With Brother Wang's character, how could he put the blame on himself?
Brother Wang will retaliate against those who humiliate him, insult him, and attack him, but he does not do that to everyone. So Brother Wang is joking with himself and comforting himself in this way?
Thinking of this at the time, Feng Qiyuan did feel a little better.
After all, no matter who it is, it would not be a happy thing to be targeted by the top brother of the national team.
But just as he gradually accepted this explanation, there was always a trace of unwillingness deep in his heart:
Does Brother Wang treat me as a child when I am twenty-six years old?
You want to comfort me after I score a goal?
So this actually means that I am not Brother Wang's opponent at all, but a little brat who needs to be coaxed by him?
Thinking of this, Feng Qiyuan's mood became even lower.
Is it better to be provoked and slapped in the face by Brother Wang as a mortal enemy, or is it better to be coaxed by Brother Wang as a child?
Feng Qiyuan was thus caught in a dilemma.
Bang!
Feng Qiyuan suddenly felt someone slap him hard on the back, which made him jump. Then he turned around and saw Brother Wang!
Wang Lie frowned and looked at him with a stern expression: "Why are you so dazed? You won't play in the second half?"
As if this is not a game between clubs, but a national team game, he is being criticized by Brother Wang, who is wearing the armband of the national team captain...
Feng Qiyuan didn't expect that it was Brother Wang who slapped him. He stuttered for a moment: "Go up...go up...go up, I'll go up..."
Wang Lie pointed to his temple and said to him: "Concentrate! Concentrate!"
After saying that, he ran towards the exit of the player tunnel.
Feng Qiyuan looked at his back and was just stunned at first. He didn't expect that Brother Wang would remind him to concentrate.
Logically speaking, wouldn't it be a good thing for him to be distracted during the game?
Eh? !
Then suddenly a light flashed in his mind.
Because he thought about the confrontation between him and Brother Wang not long after the game started.
Brother Wang pushed himself down when he was fighting for position, and then said to himself: "Concentrate!"
At that time, he was reminding himself to focus...
Now he's also reminding himself to focus.
So when he pointed at himself after scoring a goal, was he also reminding himself?
It's like being called upon by the teacher to answer a question during class. If you don't answer, you will inevitably have to be lectured by the teacher: "Listen carefully and don't get distracted!"
Thinking of this, Feng Qiyuan suddenly raised his hands and slapped his cheeks hard.
Snap!
Stay focused, Feng Qiyuan!
※※※
Wang Lie pulled to the forward line to ask for the ball. At the same time, he looked back and found that Feng Qiyuan did not follow him out, but was guarding the middle of the penalty area.
This is something that has never happened before in the first half.
So he knew that Witton Hill's head coach Lamanna had indeed made adjustments during the halftime break.
But this has no effect on him, he still plays how he wants.
"Sure enough, we guessed it right. Xiao Feng doesn't have to follow Wang Lie all the time." Cai Bokang complained while watching the TV broadcast. "Ramanna is really imaginative, he can think of such tactics..."
He Zhenyong shook his head: "Actually, we can't say that he did anything wrong. If Wang Lie's physical condition is the same as in the first half of the season, Feng Qiyuan might really be able to freeze Wang Lie again. But this was originally a gamble, but he lost..."
"The price of losing the bet was Xiao Feng's confidence and state. La Manna asked Xiao Feng to keep an eye on Wang Lie, but he was almost defeated by Wang Lie..." Cai Bokang was a little dissatisfied with La Manna.
Feng Qiyuan is the core of our national team's defense. For you to use him like this... I wonder if you are deliberately trying to get angry!
If there is real fire and the conflicts on the field are brought to the field, the national team will be even more uneasy!
※※※
When Wang Lie caught the ball in the midfield, the defensive player next to him was Witton Hill's midfielder Lemangel.
Wang Lie did not fight with him in the midfield. Instead, he distributed the football and then turned around and ran into the penalty area.
Ran into Feng Qiyuan's defense zone.
When he was approaching the penalty area, Feng Qiyuan adjusted his position and blocked his path from a distance, and did not come up to defend.
"The distance is maintained well, appropriate..." Cai Bokang couldn't help but comment when he saw it - as the former main center back and captain of the Chinese national team, he commented that Feng Qiyuan was absolutely qualified.
When the football was passed to Wang Lie, Feng Qiyuan immediately stepped forward. With the advantage and speed of his long legs, he rushed to Wang Lie in just one step and blocked Wang Lie's front.
Wang Lie made a move to put the football into the penalty area, causing Feng Qiyuan to brake quickly to prevent Wang Lie from breaking through.
In fact, Wang Lie gave up the football and wanted to break through from the other side!
His right foot came across and pushed the football forward...
While he was pushing the ball, Feng Qiyuan did not hesitate to put down the shovel, spread his legs, and used his left foot to shovel the football pushed by Wang Lie!
This was so fast that even Wang Lie didn't expect it.
So football was really touched by Feng Qiyuan!
Wang Lieren rushed over with the football, only to find that the ball was still behind him!
The Witton Hill fans in the stands cheered loudly for Feng Qiyuan's successful defense.
"Feng! The key and decisive tackle! He destroyed the football at Wang's feet!"
However, Feng Qiyuan could not be happy about his wonderful defense.
Because Wang Lie, who ran by, had quickly turned around and pounced on the football again.
And he immediately got up from the ground, using his body to block Wang Lie who turned back.
Under his protection, the football was eventually obtained by his teammates and passed out.
The alarm is temporarily lifted.
Feng Qiyuan did not relax, but returned to his position and devoted himself to the game.
He still remembers Brother Wang’s gesture and reminder:
Concentrate!
※※※
After adjusting their tactics in the second half, Witton Hill used two wing attacks to gain more offensive opportunities. Judging from the scene, it was not as passive as in the first half.
Facing the home team that was regaining its momentum, Tyne as a guest chose to avoid the edge temporarily and shrink its defense to counterattack.
In the 59th minute of the game, Witton Hill's attack was stopped at the front of Tyne's penalty area, and then Tyne launched a counterattack.
Central defender Katic made a long pass directly to Wang Lie in front.
But this long pass was slightly off target.
The pass did not reach Wang Lie, but was pushed back by Witton Hill's left center back Jaroslav Planka.
When Wang Lie saw this, he stopped and turned around, and saw that the football pushed back by Planka passed over the head of the chasing Wetton Hill midfielder Le Manguer, fell into the center circle, and then was rushed away by Van Ginkel. !
Seeing Van Ginkel walking forward with the football, Wang Lie turned around again and ran forward.
But as soon as he turned around, a figure rushed past him, like a dump truck, almost hitting him...
He braked reflexively, and the other party had already rushed past him. Only then did he see that it was Feng Qiyuan!
Feng Qiyuan passed Wang Lie, ran towards the football, and then grabbed the ball faster than Van Ginkel!
By the time Van Ginkel ran to the football's original position, Feng Qiyuan had already reached the space behind him!
"Feng Qiyuan! Suddenly started to grab! Beautiful!"
"Von! He intercepted the ball before Van Ginkel!"
The cheers at Lowland Stadium grew.
After Feng Qiyuan grabbed the football, he adjusted his feet and looked up to observe, hoping to pass the football.
But when he looked around, he saw that because both teams were in transition between offense and defense, the players were in a mess, and there were no particularly good passing targets or openings.
Instead, it was because he suddenly stole the ball and there were no Tyne players around or in front of him!
Especially in the front, Tyne's right back Barnabas was held back by Witton Hill's left back Dylan Moore, who was further to the side.
Players from the other two teams gathered in the middle. On the left rib, there was... a broad road!
In an instant, everyone on both sides disappeared from his sight, leaving only the green corridor in front of him, which was about seven or eight meters wide and led directly to the Tyne restricted area.
He looked away, moved the football forward, and then accelerated!
Sonny Dean caught up diagonally from the middle and tried to stop him, but Dean soon gave up the idea of chasing him directly - because he couldn't catch up!
He runs diagonally, and the opponent runs in a straight line, and the speed is very fast. How can I catch up with him? !
In the middle, Tyne midfielder Ramosa ran sideways towards Feng Qiyuan. When he was about to stop him, Feng Qiyuan caught up with the football and moved forward, but he was thrown away again!
"Feng!! Breakthrough in the middle! So fast!"
After two consecutive teammates were thrown away by Feng Qiyuan's direct speed, center back Hugo Guendouzi did not dare to go up to steal the ball anymore, but ran back.
Prepare to use the small space near the penalty area to limit Feng Qiyuan's speed advantage.
At the same time, Barnabas, who was guarding Dylan Moore on the wing, resolutely dropped Moore, turned around and ran towards the ribs, trying to double-team Feng Qiyuan with his teammates!
At this moment, Feng Qiyuan has almost reached the penalty area line, and Tyne's encirclement of him is about to be completed.
Center back Hugo Guendouz is on the inside, right back Barnabas is on the outside, Ramosa is behind, and the space in front is getting smaller and smaller... In addition, the entire center of Tyne's defense is moving towards him. shift.
Facing Gunduz, who was ready to pounce on him at any time, Feng Qiyuan didn't hesitate and just threw the football out!
Then compete with Gunduz for speed!
For the same distance, Gundouzi took nine steps.
Feng Qiyuan only used seven steps!
His strides are longer and his speed is faster!
He even went around the outside of the football, adjusted his steps, then raised his left foot and used the inside of his foot in front of the baseline to sweep the football towards Tyne's goal!
Witton Hill forward Esteban Aido, who has been following up in the middle, accelerated towards the goal as soon as the football was passed, taking Tyne center back Katic beside him to run forward.
But Feng Qiyuan's ball was passed very fast, and Aido couldn't grab the point at all. Instead, he took Katic away, creating a vacuum area in front of Tyne's goal!
Tyne goalkeeper Goetz turned over and rushed back after the football.
The door is mostly empty!
"Josh Finley!!"
The cheers at Lowfield had turned into a thunderstorm.
Amidst the deafening roar, Finlay rushed in and pushed the football into Tyne's goal very easily!
"Wonderful goal! Wonderful attack!" Connor Cowley raised his arms and shouted, "Feng stole the ball from the backcourt, ran with the ball long distance, and sent an assist in front of the baseline! Wonderful! This is a central defender! Feng is like It was a sharp flying arrow that penetrated Tyne’s layers of defense with just one arrow!”
After scoring the goal, Josh Finley did not celebrate by himself, but ran excitedly to Feng Qiyuan, who assisted him. After the latter completed his ultimate assist, he lost his balance and slid out of the field. He did not stop until he hit the billboard on the side of the field.
Just as he got up from the ground, Finley pushed him to the ground again, and then more Witton Hill players pressed on him.
"Witton Hill pulled a point back! 1:2! They were only one goal behind and there was still plenty of time!"
