Chapter 135 A Little Surprise
In the coaching staff's office of the Jiaxiang High School football team, Feng Yuanchang was leading his men to watch the video of Dongchuan Middle School's away game against Gaoshun City Jiulong Middle School. This was the Anton Cup quarter-finals.
The game finally ended with a score of 3:2. The away team Dongchuan Middle School eliminated the home team Kowloon Middle School.
Kowloon Middle School, which plays at home, performed very tenaciously. They fell behind twice in the game and equalized twice. It wasn't until the 75th minute that their goal was lost for the last time.
It was Hu Lai who scored the goal for Dongchuan Middle School.
"...It can be seen that Kowloon Middle School defended Hu Lai more tightly. Not only did they not leave him any space in the penalty area, but they also used a lot of close defense to interfere with him getting the ball. When facing the close defense of Kowloon Middle School , Hu Lai seemed a little struggling." The assistant coach introduced the situation to his colleagues on the coaching staff while watching the game.
"This is what I said about his lack of strength." Feng Yuanchang said. "It can be seen from the video that the defensive players of Kowloon Middle School have not deliberately pressed Hu Lai with strength."
"But in the end, we couldn't guard him and let him score in the 75th minute." The assistant coach sighed.
"Hu Lai's running is very active, and his range of movement is too large. It is really difficult to defend. It can be seen that Li Ziqiang should have strengthened Hu Lai's physical training to give him better running ability." Feng Yuanchang said, The tone was very calm, as if he didn't really care. "When we play, we must pay great attention to the defense in the middle. No matter how they pass the ball or how they pass it, as long as there is no space in our middle, they will be unable to do anything to us."
"Well. Hu Lai has outstanding advantages, but also outstanding shortcomings. After all, he has not practiced football for sixteen years before. Now Li Ziqiang does not have time to train him step by step, so he can only enhance his original advantages. , causing Hu Lai to be serious," the assistant coach agreed. "It can be seen that what Hu Lai is good at is grabbing shots in the penalty area, all of which are close attacks. If you let him out of the penalty area, his threat to the goal will plummet. He can't even shoot from long range. ——In this Anton Cup, he took a total of twenty shots, all of which were in the penalty area.”
Just like they studied Luo Kai last year, the coaching staff of Jiaxiang High School studied Hu Lai this year.
"Twenty shots, seven goals, this goal efficiency is quite high!" A coach exclaimed.
"How many shots did Luo Kai take last year? I remember that he seemed to have more shots in one game than all Hulay's shots in this Anton Cup, right?" someone asked.
"That's still not the case. The game in which Luo Kai shot the most shots in the last Anton Cup was the quarter-finals against Brown North Middle School. Luo Kai shot 19 times in one game, which is still better than Hu Lai's in this tournament. The number of shots in the Anton Cup was one less," the assistant coach explained seriously.
Others laughed: "Hu Lai's number of shots in one game is only one more than Luo Kai's number of shots in one game. Just looking at the number of shots, it really makes people wonder whether he is the core of Dongchuan Middle School's offense. …”
"This shows that Hu Lai's scoring efficiency is higher. But this is also determined by his playing style." Feng Yuanchang said.
After watching the game video, everyone basically knew what was going on. Feng Yuanchang added: "Similar to our previous judgment, Hu Lai is good at running without the ball and catching opportunities in front of the goal. But his physical confrontation ability is too weak. Once the defensive player presses him closely and uses his body If he uses his physical advantage to contain him, his performance will be compromised. The same is true for the last ball. I think the opponent's defender was worried about being fouled by Hu Lai and did not dare to increase his strength. , which gave Hu Lai a chance..."
Having said this, he replayed Hu Lai's third goal just now.
When the opponent's defender pressed forward, Hu Lai staggered. The opponent's defender seemed to be afraid that Hu Lai would fall down, so he quickly raised his hands and retracted his body at the same time. It was this contraction that allowed Hu Lai to find When he had the chance to get away, he was slightly shorter and slipped over. Then he received Xia Xiaoyu's pass and scored the football into the goal of Kowloon Middle School.
"Actually, there is no need for the Kowloon Middle School defender to be so panicked. He must trust the referee's level. As long as he has no obvious hand movements, it is difficult to be called a foul for this kind of collision. And if Hu Lai dares to fall, he will have to Risking a yellow card for diving - he already has a yellow card in this Anton Cup, and if he gets another yellow card he will be automatically suspended for one game - so don't worry too much about his health In confrontation, the defensive team will be called for a foul," Feng Yuanchang emphasized.
Using your body to fight against Hu Lai, the only risk you need to worry about is fouling.
Feng Yuanchang still has a deep understanding of the rules. He knows that there is no need to worry about fouls in normal physical confrontations. After all, football is a sport that allows physical confrontation. According to the rules, there is no such requirement as "no physical contact is allowed when entering the penalty area."
As long as there is no sign of force on the arms or stretching of the legs to kick the opponent, there is no need to worry about being called a foul for ordinary collisions.

"Harder! Harder!"
"Didn't you have lunch at noon?"
Li Ziqiang's roar echoed throughout the football field of Dongchuan Middle School.
The Dongchuan Middle School football team is training, and Hu Lai is conducting a special training just for him.
He was in the penalty area, and Li Ziqiang was behind him, with his hands behind his back, and pushed Hu Lai forward with all his strength. And what about Hu Lai? He leans back slightly, and from the bulging muscles on his thighs and the raised veins on his neck, it can be seen that he is vigorously fighting against the head coach behind him.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoyu passed the football into the penalty area. Hu Lai was about to catch the ball when he felt the coach behind him suddenly exert force and use his shoulders to push him forward. The ball naturally missed him. Got it.
"Don't relax your body when preparing to catch the ball. This is when you are most likely to be squeezed out of the opponent's position." Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai who used his hands and feet to prevent himself from completely falling to the ground, and shook his head. "Come again!"
Hu Lai got up from the ground and retreated to the edge of the penalty area. After Li Ziqiang gave the order, he ran into the penalty area. Then he got together with Li Ziqiang.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoyu’s football came again.
This time Hu Lai successfully received the ball due to the coach's interference, but when he shot, he could no longer maintain the state of wrestling with the coach. Under the coach's interference, the shot lost its accuracy.
"When shooting, open your hands and hold them up. Don't let the defensive players get close to you! Did you practice your upper body strength in vain before?!" Li Ziqiang criticized again. "Go on!"
Li Ziqiang issued the instruction again, and Xia Xiaoyu passed the football into the space.
At the same time, Hu Lai ran into the space and Li Ziqiang also ran over.
The moment Hu Lai caught the ball and shot, Li Ziqiang leaned forward.
After a bang, Hu Lai fell to the ground, but he had already shot the football towards the goal.
As he fell, he did not forget to turn his head to observe the final result of the shot - he saw that the football he shot drew a parabola in the air, and then fell steadily into the motionless man standing in front of the goal. In Meng Xi’s arms.
Li Ziqiang, who also turned to observe the result, said: "Hey, this time is good. At least I can shoot within the door frame."
People don't know whether he is praising Hu Lai or mocking Hu Lai.
"When shooting, you have to keep your body steady and don't just fly into the air. When the opponent comes up, you will lose your center of gravity. Come again!"
"Come again!"
"Go on!"
……
Just like this, Hu Lai was tortured again and again until the training was over.
Hu Lai collapsed on the ground, feeling sore all over his body.
All the strength seemed to have been drained away, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing Hu Lai's embarrassment, Li Ziqiang shook his head and said: "Actually, you can pretend to be wrestling with the defensive player at the receiving point, then suddenly withdraw your strength, turn around, and then run to the correct landing point to catch the ball and shoot. You don't have to force the shot. .”
Hu Lai, who was breathing heavily, stopped breathing when he heard the coach say this. He raised his head and looked at Li Ziqiang in surprise: "Can it still be like this?"
"Why not? On the football field, as long as you can score the goal, who cares how you score it?"
"I'm not the coach... Then why should I practice this?" Hu Lai felt aggrieved - Coach, you told me earlier, have all my sins in the past few weeks been in vain? !
"Ha." Li Ziqiang snorted with a smile, "Before you withdraw your strength and turn around, you must first have the strength to hold the opponent's defensive player back. If you don't practice this, you won't be able to hold it back. If the opponent exerts a little force, you will fall down. How can you fight if you get hurt? Kneel down and beg for mercy?”
Hu Lai was right...
So he lay back down again, breathing heavily on the turf again, and rested.
Li Ziqiang turned his head and glanced at Hu Lai, whose chest was heaving on the ground, then turned and walked towards his coach's office.
This weekend is the semi-final against Jiaxiang High School. I hope that the special training I gave Hu Lai can have some effect.
He believes that with Feng Yuanchang's level, he will definitely notice Hu Lai's weak physical confrontation ability, and will definitely make defensive arrangements to address this.
He hoped to give Mr. Feng a little surprise by then. (End of chapter)
