Chapter 43: positional warfare

Views:

After the game ended on the morning of July 21, Lu Wenbin's name spread to all the teams in this competition.

In particular, Group B has not yet faced any opponents against Meijiang Middle School, so they paid more attention to Lu Wenbin and began to study how to deal with him.

No opponent would not be nervous or take a forward who scores so many goals.

In the first game, Meijiang Middle School's tactic of taking advantage of the opponent's unfamiliarity with Lu Wenbin's strength to launch a sneak attack was no longer effective.

In the afternoon, the second match of the first round of Group B was held at the Guizhou Normal University Football Stadium, Anshun No. 3 Middle School VS Bijie Vocational High School.

After 90 minutes, the two sides were tied 1-1 and no one won.

The result is that the victorious Meijiang Middle School reaps the benefits.

After the first day of competition, Meijiang Middle School ranked first in Group B with 4 goals scored, 1 goal conceded, 3 goal difference and 3 points. Anshun No. 3 Middle School and Bijie Vocational High School ranked second and third with 1 point and 0 goal difference. Xingyi No. 1 Middle School had a bye and ranked fourth with 0 points. Shuigang No. 2 Middle School ranked fifth with 0 points and -3 goal difference.

The next day, on the morning of July 22, Xingyi No. 1 Middle School, which had a bye the day before, started the game with Shuigang No. 2 Middle School.

After losing to Meijiang Middle School the day before, Shuigang No. 2 Middle School, which was ranked last in the standings, launched a massive attack, but was unable to break through the defense of Xingyi No. 1 Middle School.

During the game, Xingyi No. 1 Middle School goalkeeper Wu Sihuo made high catches and blocked nearly 10 shots from Shuigang No. 2 Middle School within the goal frame, keeping the goal intact.

Finally, thanks to the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper and a counterattack goal, Xingyi No. 1 Middle School defeated Shuigang No. 2 Middle School 1-0 in its first game and won 3 points.

In the afternoon, there will be a match between Meijiang Middle School and Anshun No. 3 Middle School. Bijie Vocational High School has a bye today.

At 15:00 on the afternoon of July 22, the game officially began after the referee blew the opening whistle.

In this game, Anshun No. 3 Middle School learned from the experience of Shuigang No. 2 Middle School where their back line was destroyed by Lu Wenbin, and adopted a more conservative 532 defensive formation, which was almost the same as the formation of Meijiang Middle School.

Both teams played defensive counterattacks, which naturally made the scene ugly and resulted in few goals.

Although Lu Wenbin had several chances to shoot, due to the pursuit and interference of so many people in the opponent's backcourt, only two of his shots were within the goal frame, and both were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

In the first half, both sides drew 0-0.

During the half-time break, Lu Wenbin thought about his 11/11 vision and 12/13 passing, and it would be a shame if he didn't make use of them.

Although he could gain more experience by scoring goals, Lu Wenbin wanted to win, win the championship and participate in the national finals.

As long as I can participate in the national finals, it doesn’t matter whether I score a goal or not.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin suggested to Coach Zhang that the entire team should press forward and fight a positional battle in the second half to test the team's offensive capabilities.

Otherwise, if both sides played defensive counterattacks like in the first half, and his teammates did not come up to support Lu Wenbin, he would be alone against seven or eight players in the opponent's backcourt, and he would really have to rely on luck to score a goal.

Someone must come up to support Lu Wenbin.

After considering it, Zhang Minghai agreed with Lu Wenbin's opinion.

Then, Meijiang Middle School took the lead in making substitutions, replacing a defender with a midfielder, changing to a 442 formation and launching an offensive operation.

As for Anshun No. 3 Middle School, they were very happy with the result of keeping Lu Wenbin scoreless in the first half.

They decided to continue with the tactics of the first half, hoping to score a goal through counterattack in the second half based on the score of keeping Lu Wenbin scoreless.

Even if we can't score, it's good to draw 0-0 with Meijiang Middle School. After all, the group stage is not decided by one game. Even if we draw two games in a row, there will still be chances later.

But if we lose, our chances of qualifying will be slim.

Therefore, in the second half, Anshun No. 3 Middle School did not make any adjustments and continued their 532 defensive counterattack strategy.

Meijiang Middle School began to launch a massive attack to help Lu Wenbin fight a positional battle.

After adjusting the tactics, everyone was surprised to find that Lu Wenbin's passing and organizing abilities were so outstanding.

In previous games, Lu Wenbin was responsible for breakthroughs and shots in the frontcourt, and no one paid much attention to his occasional pass.

However, the decisive battle in this game made the coach and teammates of Meijiang Middle School change their views on Lu Wenbin.

It turns out that Lu Wenbin is not only a striker, he is also an all-around talent in the frontcourt.

Under Anshun No. 3 Middle School's 532 defensive formation, the middle school's half was packed with people.

Ordinary high school amateur players are basically helpless when faced with this situation, just like when Meijiang Middle School uses this formation to defend others, it makes it difficult for others to score.

Even if there are occasional goals, most of them are lucky.

But in Lu Wenbin's 11/11 vision, although there are loopholes everywhere, Anshun No. 3 Middle School, whose defensive positioning level is not up to the level of a professional team, is definitely not as watertight as others see it.

Coupled with Lu Wenbin's own ability to break through and attract the attention of two or three opposing players, there are more loopholes and gaps in other places.

After three consecutive good passes were wasted by his teammates, in the 75th minute, Lu Wenbin finally made a beautiful lob pass, and Han Dapeng headed the ball directly into the small penalty area.

Meijiang Middle School finally took the lead in the 75th minute, thanks to a wonderful pass from Lu Wenbin.

After the balance was broken, Anshun No. 3 Middle School could no longer defend.

There was no point in defending since they were already behind. Anshun No.3 Middle School had to attack and try their best to tie the score or reverse the situation.

Otherwise, after a draw in the first game, if they lose this one, their situation of qualifying from the group will be very grim.

On the other side, after Meijiang Middle School scored a goal, they naturally retreated immediately and launched their familiar defensive counterattack.

After all, they are leading now, so it is justified and easy for them to launch a defensive counterattack.

Therefore, after the 75th minute of the second half, the roles of both sides were reversed, and it became a positional battle in which Anshun No. 3 Middle School launched a massive attack against Meijiang Middle School.

Almost all the players of Meijiang Middle School returned to defense, with only Lu Wenbin standing in the front to launch a counterattack, and Han Dapeng occasionally running up to provide support.

However, Anshun No. 3 Middle School does not have a breakthrough player like Lu Wenbin, nor does it have the vision and passing and organizing ability like Lu Wenbin.

Faced with Meijiang Middle School's stubborn counterattack, they had no effective way to break the goal.

On the other hand, on the Meijiang Middle School side, as long as Lu Wenbin got the ball, he could almost always pose a threat.
