Chapter 22
Wei Le was very depressed because Zhang Tie was injured.
During the pre-match warm-up stage, Zhang Tie could not hold on. During the jogging process, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he sat on the ground with a painful look on his face.
When he saw that Zhang Tie could not continue to hold on without contact with anyone, Wei Le felt that this was a big deal. Fortunately, the teacher in the school clinic gave Zhang Tie a simple fixation, and then sent a car to take him to the nearest hospital.
Falling to the ground without confrontation often means an injury that is difficult to persist.
Wei Le remembered that Zhang Tie was the kind of player who "played football very well, but didn't play football much". In the past few years, he had many injuries, and the system even marked him in red as a player prone to injury.
After improving his training, Wei Le consciously paid attention to whether the players' physical load was too large, hoping that the players could maintain a healthy game state. But he was on guard, after all, he was not a professional coach, and he knew nothing about injury prevention.
But maybe after Zhang Tie was assigned to the midfield, he needed to cover a larger area of the court, and every steal was a test for his knee joint.
The tap was running, and Zhang Tie struggled to lean his crutches against the wall, and took a handful of water to splash on his face.
The phone rang, and it was Wei Le's voice, "What's the situation?"
Zhang Tie took a deep breath, "I have to use crutches."
Hearing this, Wei Le closed his eyes. The next day, he saw Zhang Tie staggering forward with crutches at school, and the system extinguished his last fantasy.
[Knee sprain, 2-4 weeks]
He saw that some of Zhang Tie's data had begun to decline.
The system did not explain in detail where the sprain was, and Wei Le had no medical knowledge. He only knew that Zhang Tie would miss the next game with the Foreign Affairs College.
It can be said that Zhang Tie is the backbone of the Law School in any case. The amazing data of "20 steals" can be said to be the Kanter of the Law School lineup. Without his help, Li Bing would eventually be unable to take on the task.
But Zhang Tie still showed up in the next training. He moved a small bench and sat on the sidelines, participating in the training as a spectator.
Zhang Tie's support gave Wei Le great encouragement, and the team also admired their captain's "dedication". Wei Le could see that this was the role of the captain. This role was both on the court and outside the court.
In short, what made Wei Le happy was that the team atmosphere was still relatively positive, which was a good thing.
But another bad news soon came.
The result of another game also came out. The engineering team lost as expected, with a score of 3-0. It was indeed the Foreign Affairs College. Wei Le could only smile bitterly when he heard the news.
This was not bad news, but Wei Le had unrealistic fantasies about the engineering team. If they could stop the Foreign Affairs College, the final would be easier for the Law School.
The video of the game was quickly transmitted. Wei Le plugged in the USB drive, poured a glass of water, and clicked the play button.
After a long time, Wei Le unplugged the USB drive and sighed. His evaluation of this game is "one-sided", too strong, how to play this?
The School of Foreign Affairs has always been a boss in the school team league. On the one hand, it is because the school has always had graduates to arrange training and competitions, which seems to be well-managed; on the other hand, it is because they have "foreign aid".
The international student group is basically concentrated in the Chinese Department of the School of Foreign Affairs. Some of them are tall and strong, blond and blue-eyed foreign exchange students, which really put a lot of pressure on the opponents. They have performed well in previous school team leagues and have monopolized the championship in the past three years.
Among them, Wintersal, a Dutch international student who can pass and shoot, scored two goals in the game against the engineering team. It is said that he also received youth training for a period of time in a local Dutch football club.
In the 4-3-3 formation often played by the School of Foreign Affairs, Wintersal plays as a center forward, while Thiago, a tall black player on the left, is a left winger. Wei Le has not been able to compete with him yet, but this young man who is said to be from Brazil has already made a name for himself in the school.
Campbell, a right winger who is more inclined to attack, has the same last name as Sol Campbell, who is known as the best central defender in the world, but he took on offensive responsibilities in the last game and scored the third goal. Campbell is tall and very flexible. In the game against the engineering team, he scored a goal by making a smart forward run.
The victory of the Foreign Academy is not only due to foreign players. In their lineup, Luo Hai is an old rival of Wei Le. A long shot once left Wei Le helpless. As mentioned earlier, the 4-3-3 formation mainly relies on the midfield, especially the control of the defensive midfielder position. And Luo Hai is capable of serving as the single defensive midfielder of the Foreign Academy, and his ability can be seen
But Wei Le also saw the possible weaknesses of the Foreign Affairs College.
The Foreign Affairs College's offensive options are relatively simple, that is, to quickly pass through the midfield from the back line and hand the ball to the powerful forwards to handle themselves. Since there are three excellent forwards, there is no need for the Foreign Affairs College to let the ball stay in the midfield for too long, and correspondingly, the two central midfielders of the 4-3-3 are actually slightly mediocre.
But didn't the School of Engineering discover this? Maybe not, maybe it discovered but didn't know how to use it.
The School of Engineering basically piled all the players in the backcourt, trying to completely surround the international trident of Thiago, Campbell and Wintersal. But in fact, the defensive effect is not good. Especially Wintersal, facing the defense of two or three people, just a flick and a dunk easily broke through the defense line.
In any case, how to defend such a strong offensive line? As soon as Wei Le completed his academic tasks, he locked himself in the dormitory, thinking about countermeasures and studying tactics.
——
While Wei Le was thinking hard, the external courtyard was organizing a dinner party.
"It was quite smooth to win the championship this year." Thiago said with a smile.
Wintersal laughed, "That's right. In the past few years, we were able to meet some opponents, but now there are only 8 teams, and we are not happy to play."
Hearing their chat, a central midfielder Li Zhong whispered, "We haven't played the final yet, have we?"
Another central midfielder Lin Rui put his arm around Li Zhong's shoulders and said carelessly, "Let the three brothers in front play well, what suspense can there be?"
Although Li Zhong was a little worried, he couldn't refute anything after Lin Rui said that. If he continued to talk, it would affect morale. He just felt that "opening champagne" was not very respectful to the opponent.
Campbell did not attend the dinner party at all, and he also asked for leave for the next pre-match training, saying that he was "dealing with family affairs". Although the captain Luo Hai felt uncomfortable, he agreed. He knew that there was no family affairs, but he was just too lazy to come. Campbell is a free-spirited person. He often does not participate in team activities. He comes to training when he wants to and does not come when he does not want to.
However, Campbell can give a good performance in every game, so Luo Hai naturally has no reason to say anything. After all, as a defensive midfielder, Luo Hai himself cannot give any outstanding performance. In this team that judges status by performance, although he is the captain and a senior, he does not have much influence.
He knows that even if he refuses Campbell's leave, Campbell will not come to training. It is called "request", but it is actually "notification", but he has no choice.
