Chapter 15
This goal really caught Wei Le off guard!
Rather than thinking about how to make adjustments, what he needs to do now is to calm the players down.
He clapped hard to attract the players' attention. Then, although the field was large and his voice might not reach the farthest corner, he still shouted heartbreakingly, "It's okay, it's within the plan! Calm down!"
He pressed his hands down to tell the players that it was okay.
Some old players who had participated in the college team league had seen the game lose the ball shortly after the start, but Zhou Chang, who had just made a mistake, was very self-blaming and looked out of shape.
Zhou Chang looked up and saw Wei Le still standing upright in the coaching seat. Looking at his movements, although he couldn't hear what he was saying, he roughly knew that at least Wei Le was not blaming himself.
Wei Le's exaggerated movements did dilute a lot of his panic, and he gave Wei Le a thumbs up in response.
Jiang Xin's loud voice was silent for a while and then rang again. He cheered for every successful long pass and steal. Wei Le closed his eyes slightly, and the team's morale was recovering rapidly in the system panel.
After the game resumed, Wei Le found that the Economic Team did not take advantage of the chaos to expand the advantage of the game, but retreated and showed a relatively stable attitude. After regaining the ball, they would not easily try to pass directly, but use short passes to control the ball.
It seems that his opponent has returned to the familiar game state. After ensuring that the team will not lose the balance of mentality due to the sudden loss of the ball in the next game, Wei Le quickly entered the working state.
He knew that he had no time to be surprised or nervous. He needed to ensure that the team would not lose the ball in the next game.
Wei Le waved his hand to signal Zhou Chang not to participate in the attack frequently. Wei Le himself needed to reflect on his radical attitude before the game-he still underestimated the ability of the opponent.
The goal just now came from the opponent's keen discovery of the large space behind Zhou Chang, and the situation opened up by counterattacking with a direct pass. Although it seems that the opponent has reduced the frequency of direct passes, it still has to be prevented.
On the court, the Law School gradually regained the rhythm of the game. Jiang Xin served the goal and found the right back Wang Chen. The latter did not do much, but passed it to Zhang Tie who returned to support as soon as possible.
Zhang Tie did not carry the ball for much, but simply turned around and passed the ball back to Fu Tengfei before the opponent's forward came.
Zheng Junfa, who had just scored a goal, did not press hard, leaving Fu Tengfei enough time to handle the ball.
Fu Tengfei saw that there was not much space in the midfield, so he chose a long pass to try to play Han Yang's speed advantage.
But facing the low defense, Han Yang had no room to break through. Seeing that the breakthrough failed, he could only pass it to the front midfielder Liu Ziyu for processing. Liu Ziyu saw that the opponent did not limit his space, so he took a long shot.
Liu Ziyu's long shot threatened the goalkeeper, but the shot was straight and was held in the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper.
While applauding and encouraging this attack, Wei Le also keenly discovered many problems. The first one was Zhao Pingping, whose position was often relatively fixed in the penalty area, and sometimes he was in an offside position without knowing it.
The just shot was because Zhao Pingping's position was right behind Zhang Hejun, another central defender of the opponent, and Liu Ziyu could not pass the ball, so he could only choose to shoot himself.
Zhao Pingping did intend to avoid Ma Tiancai's edge, but this left Ma Tiancai to Han Yang.
Han Yang, with his small arms and legs, complained bitterly. Ma Tiancai's experienced positioning prevented him from taking advantage of his speed. Liu Ziyu didn't have much to do with Han Yang's situation. He could only seek more cooperation with Liu Zihang on the left.
If a professional coach knew Wei Le's analysis, he would definitely praise his analysis - this new coach who had just stepped onto the court had a reasonable and comprehensive analysis of the game.
But knowing the difficulties the team encountered was not enough. Wei Le was thinking, how to solve it?
During an out-of-bounds opportunity, he took the opportunity to pull Han Yang to his side and gave him instructions.
"Bring him out, bring him out." Wei Le gestured to Han Yang with his hands and feet, "You retreat a little bit and see if Ma Tiancai can come out."
Han Yang's eyes lit up. If Ma Tiancai followed his position, when he retreated, there would be an opportunity behind Ma Tiancai. If Ma Tiancai didn't plan to follow him out, he would have more room to maneuver.
"You and Zihang should move further apart, go outside, make more passes, and make high passes."
Han Yang nodded, and was about to run back to the court when he was stopped again.
"Tell Zhao Pingping to come back a little, try to stand between the two central defenders, and take the ball with his back, just like in training."
"Make more passes, let him get a little bit. The other defender on the opposite side is not tall, he can kill him."
Wei Le's description is easy to understand. Han Yang ran back to the court, and soon Zhao Pingping replied with a thumbs up, expressing his appreciation.He showed that he understood.
"Stand between the two central defenders" is a more specific and limited tactical instruction, but for a player like Zhao Pingping who is not good at reading the game, this can at least keep him in a relatively reasonable position most of the time.
Han Yang decided to attack more from the wing, abandon those complicated tactics, and adopt the simplest one - passing the ball high from the wing.
Now Zhao Pingping has room to play. He always felt that his position was wrong, but he didn't know how to play. He was a little restrained by avoiding Ma Tiancai. He felt that he could actually compete with Ma Tiancai, and the other shorter central defender was not his opponent in headers.
The tactical adjustment was quickly communicated, and after defending the attack of the economic team, Zhang Tie passed the ball horizontally to Wang Chen, and Han Yang retreated obediently.
Looking back, Ma Tiancai also followed, and Han Yang was overjoyed, pretending to try to block the position to receive the ball. Ma Tiancai did not dare to neglect, and unknowingly, his position had long left the central defender position where he was supposed to be.
"Go!" Han Yang suddenly shouted, and Ma Tiancai felt something was wrong, but Wang Chen understood and passed the ball directly, not to Han Yang, but to the front midfielder Liu Ziyu!
Liu Ziyu received the ball sideways, and looked at Ma Tiancai who was chasing back in a panic. His eyes lit up, and he didn't hesitate to cut inside with the ball.
Zhao Pingping, who was "standing in the middle of the two central defenders", used his burly figure to block in front of the other central defender of the opponent. He suddenly felt that this was his chance!
Liu Ziyu certainly didn't need him to say more. After cutting out of the penalty area diagonally, he calmly kicked the ball to the middle.
The football flew high and floated in front of the small penalty area! This position made the goalkeeper very hesitant. Should he attack or not?
When the goalkeeper hesitated, Zhao Pingping took a big step. He didn't even need to jump high. He just jumped slightly and reached the ball! Amid exclamations, he chose to head the ball!
The football hit the ground heavily and flew into the goal beside the goalkeeper!
It's tied!
Zhao Pingping looked back to confirm that the ball went in, and then he shouted and ran towards Liu Ziyu who assisted. The other players quickly followed, and several people hugged each other!
Wei Le on the sidelines also cheered non-stop. When the ball flew to Zhao Pingping's head, he had already jumped up - he was sure that Zhao Pingping would not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
And the players did not disappoint him. At least for now, they can end the first half of the game with a draw!
Under the command of Xu Peng, the economic team tried to counterattack, but Zhou Chang did not give them the opportunity to repeat the first goal after receiving a relatively cautious order.
The first half of the game went smoothly. When the fourth official raised the electronic card for two minutes of injury time, Wei Le suddenly had an idea and looked back at the bench.
Yang Qi was also paying close attention to the situation on the field at this time, and the two met eyes.
Wei Le hoped to make substitutions in the midfield, but the success rate of the cross play was still relatively low. If the team wanted to expand its advantage, it had to continue attacking.
"Go warm up!" Wei Le waved to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi was very surprised. He thought Wei Le would not send him to play again. But he was still very happy, and immediately took off his fluorescent number shirt and ran to the sidelines.
A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.
