Seven-time Champion

Chapter 51: A deadlock due to lack of physical strength

Views:

After scoring the goal, Lu Wenbin roared, turned around and rushed to the sidelines, rushing towards Zhang Minghai: He wanted to thank Coach Zhang for the tactical adjustment during the halftime break.

Running in front of Zhang Minghai, Lu Wenbin leaped over to him and shouted in his ear, "Coach Zhang, your tactical adjustment worked!"

Zhang Minghai was also very excited!

In the county finals, he only knew to let Lu Wenbin break through, break through, and break through, and failed to make timely adjustments. It was the advice given by Lu Wenbin's father that helped Meijiang Middle School defeat Meitan No. 1 Middle School and win the championship.

Moreover, Meijiang Middle School has always relied on Lu Wenbin's personal ability to lead the school team forward.

Both teachers and students hold the view that Meijiang Middle School is Lu Wenbin's team and coach Zhang Minghai is dispensable.

Today, in the final that depended on the provincial championship, his adjustments took effect in the second half and helped the team equalize the score. Even Lu Wenbin came to celebrate with him.

This gave Zhang Minghai a lot of confidence, proving that he was not just lucky and relied on Lu Wenbin, the monstrous freshman, to advance to his current level.

The other players from Meijiang Middle School also followed Lu Wenbin to the sidelines and celebrated wildly with their coach and substitute players.

On the field, only the players of Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School were left with a mixture of surprise and loss.

After they defended Lu Wenbin for most of the game, Lu Wenbin finally scored a goal in the 67th minute.

They were guarding against Lu Wenbin's breakthroughs and assists, but they did not guard against Lu Wenbin cooperating with his teammates in the penalty area.

In the end, they failed to keep Lu Wenbin scoreless, and Meijiang Middle School tied the score 1-1, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

Now, the players of No. 3 Middle School were in trouble.

Now, everyone has the same score and is back at the same starting line. Should we press forward to score a goal or continue to defend

Everyone turned their eyes to the coach on the sidelines.

The coach of No. 3 Middle School only thought for a few seconds before making a decision, asking everyone to continue defending.

There were only 20 minutes left. If they could defend until the end of the 90-minute game, the two teams, which already had a busy schedule, would have little physical strength left, and it would be difficult to score a goal in overtime.

If the game is dragged to a penalty shootout and Lu Wenbin's role is reduced, No. 3 Middle School's chances of winning will undoubtedly be much higher than that of Meijiang Middle School.

Except for Lu Wenbin, the shooting skills and psychological quality of other players of Meijiang Middle School are definitely lower than those of Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School, and their goal rate in penalty shootouts is definitely lower than that of No. 3 Middle School.

Therefore, the coach of No. 3 Middle School decided to continue defending in the remaining time and try to drag the score of 1-1 into a penalty shootout.

However, Lu Wenbin cannot be missed again.

No matter when and where, whether Lu Wenbin has the ball at his feet or not, there must be someone following Lu Wenbin closely and providing close defense.

In addition, other players should always pay attention to Lu Wenbin's position and provide assisting defense to avoid the situation of missing Lu Wenbin like just now.

After the game resumed, just as the coach of No. 3 Middle School had expected, the physical fitness of the players on both sides declined significantly.

After all, playing 6 games in 9 days, even if the intensity of high school students' games is far from comparable to that of professional leagues, the physical fitness of these high school students cannot be compared with that of professional players.

Even if we had a day's rest after the semi-finals, it was not enough for everyone to run all over the field and play the entire final.

By the 70th minute, except for Lu Wenbin and the two goalkeepers, all the players on the field could only jog or even walk on the field.

Lu Wenbin once sent a good pass that slipped past the goal. If Han Dapeng had enough energy and could catch up, he could basically score a goal as long as he touched it casually.

However, Han Dapeng fell down halfway through the run without anyone touching him: he was exhausted.

As a last resort, Zhang Minghai had to replace Han Dapeng with another substitute striker.

In addition to physical injuries, players from both sides were also injured in the fight. Another midfielder from Meijiang Middle School, Xiang Youming, had his forehead bleeding when he was competing for a header with the opponent and was also substituted.

Of course, the players of Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School did not have an easy time either. Not only did they also have to replace two substitutes, but several players on the field also had yellow cards.

These were all yellow cards shown by the referee after Lu Wenbin was forced to commit fouls when he broke through.

As both sides were physically exhausted and their main lineups were incomplete, the players of Meijiang Middle School kept missing opportunities, while the defense of No. 3 Middle School often had loopholes, leaving Nie Yingkun and others behind.

Fortunately, Nie Yingkun, Bi Rui and others are much worse than Lu Wenbin in their ability to seize opportunities.

Moreover, even if they didn't want to shoot, they couldn't assist Lu Wenbin like they did for the first goal.

One is that they are out of physical strength, and the second is that their vision and passing ability are much worse than Lu Wenbin's.

It has to be said that there was a certain amount of luck involved in Nie Yingkun's assist to Lu Wenbin.

It was impossible for Nie Yingkun to make another wonderful pass like that in the small penalty area when he was exhausted.

As time passed, Zhang Minghai became anxious on the sidelines, while the coach of No. 3 Middle School gradually became relieved.

If the 1-1 draw could be dragged into a penalty shootout, it would be much more advantageous for No. 3 Middle School, and he would love that to happen.

On the court, Lu Wenbin also clearly felt the decline in his teammates' physical fitness. His teammates' ability to pull the third line of defense was also declining, making cooperation more and more difficult.

However, as time passed and his physical strength declined, Lu Wenbin found that the player from No. 3 Middle School who was defending him closely made more and more mistakes, making it easier for him to break through.

If it weren't for the help and double-teaming from the opposing team, Lu Wenbin would have scored the goal himself.

Lu Wenbin recalled the previous semi-final, in which Meijiang Middle School resolved the battle within 90 minutes, while No. 3 Middle School had to play against Xingyi No. 1 Middle School, which had a good goalkeeper, for 120 minutes before luckily winning 1-0.

Although they only played 30 minutes longer than Meijiang Middle School, the physical strain on the players of Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School due to their insufficient physical strength was definitely not apparent from the 30 minutes of playing time.

Not only the player from No. 3 Middle School who was following him and gasping for breath, but also the other opposing players must have reached their physical limits.

Sometimes, football requires teamwork, but sometimes, someone needs to be the spearhead and make a personal breakthrough.

Especially when most of the opposing players are physically exhausted and make frequent mistakes, while you are still able to run.

Lu Wenbin feels that he can be more independent in the following games, making more breakthroughs and dribbling past opponents, and he doesn't need to cooperate with his teammates to break through the dense defense.

Not only in regular games, if the battle cannot be resolved within 90 minutes, Lu Wenbin is prepared to use the 30-minute overtime time to repeatedly attack the opponent's defense line.

Anyway, the teammates' physical strength was also almost exhausted, and they could hardly help Lu Wenbin.

This time, Lu Wenbin is really going to show off his personal heroism and break through the defense of an entire team by himself!
