Chapter 83 The tit-for-tat opening
Jiang Dongxun looked at Wang Lie walking towards him, his eyes seemed to turn into physical bullets, without concealing his ambition and desire when he looked at Wang Lie.
But Wang Lie did not look at him. Instead, he reached out his hand and touched Jiang Dongxun quickly as usual, and then walked towards the next Hackney Knight player.
From beginning to end, he held his head slightly high and his eyes drifted upward.
It seemed like he didn’t take Jiang Dongxun seriously at all.
But Jiang Dongxun not only did not feel angry, but also became happy - after the national team captain retweeted the video yesterday, he felt that he was despised by Wang Yeol. But now that he was in close contact with Wang Lie, he felt that perhaps yesterday's "contempt" was Wang Lie's deliberate act.
Because it was obvious that Wang Lie was hiding from him on purpose. The evidence was that he didn't even dare to look at her just now!
So what he did yesterday was just his bluff, but actually he was scared!
As the teammates of the national team said, the Chinese team led by Wang Lie failed at the feet of the Korean team in two consecutive Asian Cups. How could Wang Lie have the face to show off in front of their Korean players and claim to be What is the "Light of Asia"?
After Wang Lie left, most of the subsequent Tyne players looked at him with very unfriendly eyes, especially the No. 7 Brazilian player Vitini, who glared at him hard. , as if he was going to eat him alive.
But Jiang Dongxun was not afraid at all, but bravely met Vitini's eyes and looked at him.
I’m not even afraid of Wang Lie, why should I be afraid of you, Wang Lie’s crazy fan?
Seeing this scene, Chinese commentator Luo Jin said: "Jiang Dongxun is a key figure in today's game. Everyone can pay close attention to his performance."
As a national TV station, he The narrator cannot say certain things, so he can only give hints to the audience in front of the TV in a tactful way.
Everyone knows.
If you don’t understand... go online and ask why Luo Jin said this, and you’ll basically understand.
Zhao Chuanfeng heard Luo Jin say this and sneered.
He also had a hard time holding it back.
Last night - domestic time should be early yesterday morning, local British time was last night - the "war of abuse" that took place on the Internet, he only found out about it after getting up and surfing the Internet.
After understanding the whole story, Zhao Chuanfeng believed that this was completely a Korean act. He 100% supported what all Chinese fans and players did in this incident.
It's just that due to his status, it is really inconvenient for him to express his position publicly.
Otherwise, who knows if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of neighboring countries will call the station to protest...
The commentators of the national media are walking on thin ice and opened their own live broadcast room using foreign signal sources. Internet anchors who come to do live broadcasts for fans don’t have these worries.
In his "Zhouzhou Football" live broadcast room, Zhao Zhou blatantly cursed Jiang Dongxun:
"It's so shameful! How did he win the Asian Cup that year? Yes, who doesn’t know? Damn it, Bangzi feels proud of it. Only Bangzi can do such a thing! Go to hell!”
Thanks to Jiang Dongxun's pre-game praise, even though it was late at night, there were a lot of people online at the same time in Zhao Zhou's live broadcast room, and it was very popular.
Many people were attracted by this incident and wanted to see how Brother Wang fucked.
The reason why I choose to watch in this kind of live broadcast room instead of enjoying better picture quality and more professional commentary on the big TV screen is of course because professional commentators can't be so blatant in scolding!
The host was happy to scold him, and the viewers who came to watch the live broadcast were happy to hear it. If they felt happy, they would reward the host.
When the anchor saw the reward, he scolded him even more. The audience in the live broadcast room rewarded him one after another, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Everyone has achieved a win-win situation...
But it’s hard work and the infamy. Of course, Bangzi may not feel bitter. After all, they are not ashamed, but proud.
※※※
After the game started, the Hackney Knights kicked off the attack.
When the football was passed to Jiang Dongxun's feet, there was a burst of boos in the stands of Lizer Park Stadium.
The boos were not loud, not deafening.
But other Hackney Knights players did not receive such treatment. When Jiang Dongxun caught the ball, the boos suddenly sounded, which was very eye-catching...
He had scruples. Unlike the commentators in China, Connor Cowley, the England commentator for this game, doesn't care about this.
He is not a party, so he can naturally comment on the matter from a neutral perspective.
So he briefly introduced to the audience in front of the TV what happened when Jiang Dongxun praised the Korean reporter on Instagram, which caused fans and players from China and South Korea to criticize each other online.
Let the audience know why Jiang Dongxun, who has no quarrel with Tyne, was suddenly booed by the home team fans at Tyne's home court.
Luke Milne, who was his partner in commentating this game, added after he introduced the basic situation: "Kang is a Korean player who was born and raised in the UK. It is said that he is in South Korea He is also a thorn in the side of the national team. He once had a conflict with his senior teammates when he was playing billiards in the national team... Connor, do you know that in South Korea, there is a very strict rule of 'younger and younger'? A player, no matter how outstanding his ability is, has to bow his head in front of the national players who are older than him. And Jiang did not show courtesy to his seniors at that time... This matter was quite a big deal in the Korean national team at the time, but in the end the Korean national team did not treat Jiang. What kind of punishment..."
"He is the number one star of the Korean team. How can the national team punish their number one star? They have no one who can replace Jiang." Connor. Cowley said.
“Yes, the South Korean team obviously relies on him, so it acquiesces that Jiang breaks the inherent tradition of the Korean team. I don’t know if this gave Jiang an illusion, that is, in this world, He can do whatever he wants without being punished..." At this point, Luke Milne snorted, "But this time it's obvious that he messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with. I would be guilty. Weiss, I will temporarily take him out of the starting lineup today."
Connor Cowley joked with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, right?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all, Connor. Although Wang has not responded from last night to today, based on my understanding of Wang, he will definitely respond in this game." Milne said with a very sure voice said in a tone of voice.
Like Nick Waters and Marvin Bullock who have played before, Luke Milne is also a star of Sofos United - one of the most successful wealthy clubs in England. , Soft United’s long and glorious history has also given birth to many club celebrities...
After retirement, most of these celebrities will continue to be active in the public eye as football commentators and commentators.
But unlike his two famous teammates, Milne is on Wang Lie's side.
As Wang Lie's captain when he played for Sofos United, Luke Milne always spoke for Wang Lie from his standpoint, whether as a player or after he retired and became a commentator.
Even if Wang Lie had a conflict with the club, he would only criticize the club for not doing something right and not respecting a club legend enough, without saying a bad word about Wang Lie.
No matter how outrageous Wang Lie's actions seemed to others, he just said, "The reason why Wang did this must be because of his difficulties. You will criticize him because you don't understand him."
Conor Cowley is also very aware of Milne's position, so he is not surprised when he says this, and he also followed his words and said: "Ha, this game is worth watching!"
※※※
Hearing the boos at Lizer Park Stadium, the Korean commentator said: "It seems that player Jiang Dongxun will face a very difficult away game today!"
The guest commentator on the side said: "I think this is also a good incentive for player Jiang. He will definitely respond to the boos with a good performance during the game!"
The two of them know the ins and outs of the matter. , but because I have the same concerns as the Chinese commentator, some words can only be said in another way.
But what’s a little slap in the face is... just after the commentator cheered for player Jiang, Jiang Dongxun passed the football out instead of dribbling the ball to break through.
However, the Korean commentator reacted quickly and immediately said: "That's right. Facing the defense of Tyne center back Guendouzi and defensive midfielder Ramosa, there is no need to fight alone. , We need to rely more on the strength of the team. Although he faced an unfavorable situation in the away game, player Jiang did not get angry because of the boos. He remained calm."
The Korean commentator also echoed: "This is a game. In the game, Hackney Knights head coach Paul Neves arranged for Jiang Dongxun to be the starting forward instead of his previous left midfielder. The position will be more central and the defensive pressure will be greatly increased, but once he gets the opportunity, he can. A direct threat to Tyne’s goal! As long as Jiang Dongxun can seize a few opportunities in this game, he can score!”
※※※
The football passed by Jiang Dongxun passed around and finally landed at the feet of Hackney Knights offensive midfielder Mads Kerten, who started the game.
Then he tried to pass the football to Robin Bock, another starting forward who was running forward, but the pass was wide.
Bok was still chasing the football desperately, but the power of Kerten's pass was indeed too great.
Goetz abandoned the goal and immediately confiscated the football.
Bock ran for nothing, but he did not complain at all. Instead, he gave a thumbs up to Kerten who passed the ball for him.
Kerten raised his hand to apologize.
"Roel Pope's injury absence still has a great impact on the Hackney Knights' offense. They are missing a top passer who can deliver a fatal blow... This means that their The offensive ideas have to change," Zhao Chuanfeng analyzed the Hackney Knight's failed attack just now. "Kerten's characteristics are completely different from Pope's. Kerten is better at shooting and scoring, and has stronger impact. Let him organize the offense, just like Zhang Fei embroidering, forcing others to do something difficult..."
While speaking, goalkeeper Goetz threw the football forward with his hands and started the attack by throwing the ball with his hands.
The person who came back to meet him was Wang Lie.
He surveyed the situation before receiving the ball, followed by Hackney centre-back Malik Mount, which meant there was space in the Hackney defence.
But with Wang Lie being held up like this by Monte, he has no chance to pass the ball behind him - if he has to pass it, it is not impossible, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all, and it is very likely that the ball will be lost and wasted. A chance to fight back.
So Wang Lie pushed the football back and passed it to his midfielder teammate Van Ginkel who came in behind.
He could only hope that Van Ginkel could take advantage of the space he created.
Van Ginkel did not disappoint him. After receiving Wang Lie's header, he stopped the football forward with his feet instead of stopping at his feet, and then accelerated forward! The reason why he did not pass the ball immediately but chose to dribble was to make full use of the space in the middle created by Wang Lie and attract defensive players to move closer to him.
As expected, Hackney Knight's right back Joseph Fitzwater moved towards the center to defend him. At this time, Van Ginkel passed the football to Vitini on the left rib.
Seeing Vitini receiving the ball unmarked, the Leeds Park stadium burst into cheers.
The commentators also became excited:
"Vitini! Receive the ball in the air!"
"Van Ginkel! Good shot! Found Vitini!"
While receiving the ball, Vitini looked up towards the center.
He saw Wang Lie rushing forward with his head down, very fast!
If he hadn't seen Wang Lie coming forward at high speed from behind in recent training, Vitini would have been in a daze.
Because just two months ago, in Wang Lie's first game in Tyne, there were many times when he got in from behind during counterattacks.
When Vitini picked up the ball from the wing, he even had to slow down a little to wait for Wang Lie.
And now he had just received a pass from Van Ginkel. He looked up to the middle and could already see Wang Lie advancing...
Vitini did not immediately respond. Pass the football to Wang Lie, but quickly rush into the penalty area with the ball.
After dragging the other Hackney Knights centre-back Sebastian Sergate up to defend him, Vitini made a pass!
Wang Lie in the middle has already arrived!
However, Hackney Knights centre-back Mount also followed him.
The two people ran all the way from the center circle to the penalty area. Seeing that Wang Lie was about to catch the ball, Monte bumped into Wang Lie with his hands and feet.
But he did not knock Wang Lie away...
Wang Lie still completed the shot!
And the quality is very high!
Hackney Knights goalkeeper Raphael Vito dived sideways and saved the football from the baseline with one palm!
"Wang's long-range shot - Vito!! Beautiful shot! Beautiful save! Less than five minutes into the game, Wang completed the first shot of Tyne at home! From a very important moment Threatening quick counterattack! ”
※※※
After Wang Lie’s shot was saved by Vito, Tyne got a corner kick.
A corner kick was taken, and Katic headed the ball towards the goal, but the angle was too right and was hugged by Hackney Knights goalkeeper Vito.
Then after Vito got up, he did not immediately throw the ball with his hands or launch an attack with his big feet. Instead, he made a gesture to indicate to everyone to slow down and stabilize.
“It’s right to be steady. After the start, it was obvious that Tyne, who was playing at home, was very excited and could not follow their rhythm!” the Korean commentator praised.
After all the Tyne players exited the penalty area and even central defenders like Katic and Guendouz returned to their positions, Vito threw the football to his teammates.
Then the Hackney Knights began to kick back and forth in the backcourt, as if they were in no hurry to play forward.
When they fell back in the backcourt, Wang Lie, Vitini and Dean ran back and forth in the frontcourt to press. At the same time, Tyne's midfielders and backfielders gradually pressed up.
Seeing that there were more and more openings in Tyne's backcourt, the Hackney Knights passed the football forward.
Once they cross the center line, they will immediately speed up. The team's speed of cutting and running has been improved to a higher level compared to when they were backcourt just now.
This kind of pass-and-cut coordination during high-speed running is a great test of the players' tacit understanding and the coach's tactical design.
Everyone has to know how to run with and without the ball.
Like Clayton Athletic, Hackney Knights are a team that is good at possession of the ball.
But unlike Clayton Athletic, once the Hackney Knights enter the opponent's half, they will start to speed up. When they are near the opponent's 30-meter area, they will use frequent interspersed runs to create chaos in the opponent's defense. , find the opening, and hit the dangerous area all at once.
Clayton Athletic, on the other hand, still passed the ball slowly, and it wasn't until they found a fighter that they suddenly picked up speed.
To put it simply, they are both passing and controlling, but Clayton Athletic passes more horizontally in the frontcourt, while Hackney Knight passes more forward.
The results brought by different styles are not exactly the same.
Crichton Athletic's passing and control is very stable, but it looks a little dull. Fans who don't like this style always complain that Clayton Athletic's games make them drowsy. But the advantage is that it is stable and not easy to make mistakes.
This is why last season Scorsese and Clayton Athletic competed for the league championship, but they collapsed after losing to Wang Lie's Soft United in the 35th round. Because no matter how good they perform, you look back and Clayton Athletic is right behind them. This will really put huge pressure on them, making them always afraid to make mistakes, worried that if they make a mistake, Clayton Athletic will immediately surpass them.
Facts have also proved this. The Scorsese lost to Soft United in the 35th round. The first place in the league was occupied by Clayton Athletic, which is as stable as an old dog. There are three league rounds left. , Clayton Athletic won a complete victory and did not give the Scorsese any chance.
The Hackney Knights' passing and control is more passionate and imaginative. If it can be successful, it will be a very beautiful, art-like offense. But the probability of failure is also greater than that of Clayton Athletic. After all, forward passing is more risky and the success rate is lower. Once this kind of through ball fails, it will give the opponent an opportunity to counterattack.
In order to increase the success rate, their midfield core Rolle Pope is very critical.
As one of the top five attacking midfielders in world football today, Pope may not be the best in other aspects, but if you only look at his ability to deliver threatening balls, then he is absolutely the best in the world.
Sometimes, when there seems to be no open space to outsiders, he can find a path to accurately deliver the football to the feet of his teammates who are advancing forward.
The top-notch sense of smell and vision, as well as top-notch imagination, have made Rolle Pope a world-class midfielder.
If Pope is not injured, this game will be more difficult for Tyne. McNeil may have to arrange for his team to play defensive counterattack.
Between three passes and two downs from the Hackney Knights, the football was once again passed to Jiang Dongxun’s feet. This time he received the ball from the forward position with his back to the goal. Then he passed the ball sideways without stopping. Got out.
The pass to his midfield teammate Mads Kerten.
The Danish midfielder made a fake move to walk towards the football before receiving the ball, which deceived Tyne's defensive midfielder Gianfranco Lamosa to move sideways to block the ball.
But this time Kerten was just pretending!
His upper body leaned forward, but his feet stayed in place. After a feint, he immediately changed direction to pass the football passed by Jiang Dongxun, and then used the inside of his left foot to move the football to the right.
Then he jumped out of the way and shot with his feet!
The football flies toward the goal like a cannonball!
"Kerten——!"
"Goetz!!"
Tyne goalkeeper Elliot Goetz rose into the air, facing this powerful and heavy shot, he He didn't dare to take it directly, so he could only use his fists to hit the flying football away.
He hit the football to Tyne's left and Hackney Knight's right.
The Hackney Knights right back Joseph Fitzwater, who was pressing forward, used his chest to remove the ball, and then took advantage of Vitini's attack to pass the ball sideways to his defensive midfielder teammate. Kimba Bello.
Then he immediately accelerated forward, bypassing Vitini.
Bello also passed the football into the space in front of him.
"Bello's diagonal ball! The Cavaliers' attack is coming again!"
Tyne's fans didn't even bother to cheer for Goetz's save just now, but now they were excited again.
Fitzwater passed the ball directly after receiving the ball!
In front of the goal, Hackney Knights forwards Robin Bock and Tyne Hugogun Duzi ran to grab the spot at the same time.
Bock, who is only 1.82 meters tall, seems to have difficulty taking advantage of Gunduz, who is 1.87 meters tall, but he still jumped over bravely and collided with Gunduz.
He did not stop the ball, but due to his interference, Guendouz only touched the football slightly and changed the flight direction of the football instead of successfully making a clearance!
“The football is still in the penalty area!”
Lamosa and Katic rushed towards the football together, and at the same time, Jiang Dongxun also rushed over!
Katic took the first step to block the position, and at the same time raised his butt to block Jiang Dongxun behind him. Then Ramosa came up and kicked to make a clearance. The football was finally kicked out of the sideline...
Hackney Knight's This wave of attacks is over.
Applause erupted from the stands of the Lize Park Stadium. This was given by the Tyne fans to Ramosa, who successfully made the save, and to goalkeeper Goetz, who had just made a wonderful save.
They only bothered to do this now... They had been in a state of nervousness just now.
"Damn it!" Robbie Dixie clapped and cursed. Of course, only curse words can accurately describe his mood at this time. "The Cavaliers' offensive is quite fierce! I thought they would be weaker without Pope..."
Jon Berg teased Dixie: "Do you think now that you thought too well yesterday? This is the first in the league!"
Unexpectedly, Dixie snorted: "The first in the league So what? Didn't your Chinese New Year friend say, 'Who stipulates that the princes and nobles are born nobler than us? 'Who stipulates that we can't win the league?"
After that, he sighed. Tone: "It's a pity that the young man didn't come to watch the game today, otherwise maybe Wang's shot just now would have gone in!"
Berger was speechless: "Robbie, don't go from one extreme to the other. ..."
