Chapter 109 The Honduras Team

According to Cheng Youcheng, the "pick and roll" tactic in basketball is widely used in football, and many European teams have used similar templates.

The reason why he recruited the coach of the national basketball team was to let everyone experience how the pick-and-roll tactics in professional basketball are used.

Although it is just a simple understanding, Cheng Youcheng himself is very happy to use this technology in corner kicks, set kicks and other aspects.

After a few days of training, the players of each club have a certain understanding of Cheng Youcheng's tactics, and the cooperation between the players has also begun to bear fruit.

The time has come to the day of the match against Honduras. The sea of ​​red fans has transformed the usually plain Xiangcheng home court into another style.

For the national team's games, the fans are always not stingy with their enthusiasm, and do their best to cheer for the national team players.

"Okay, my handsome guys, it's time for our performance." Cheng Youcheng in the locker room began to speak before the game, "There are tens of thousands of spectators today, I don't want you to play too well, don't let them fall asleep OK?"

Watching Cheng Youcheng make a funny falling asleep action, the players were amused by his sudden impromptu performance.

"Handle every kick well, keep calm, and win this game." Cheng Youcheng said, "They are guests from afar, and we must let them experience our authentic style of play."

"Good!" The players responded excitedly to his speech.

The starting formation he arranged today is still the 433 formation he is keen on. The forward line and the back line have not changed much. In the midfield, he arranged Cheng Youcheng from Xicheng Iron Knight to play as a midfielder. The other two midfielders are Tianhe Athletic. Liu Yunsheng and St. Friedom's Xu Wenli, you must know that both of them are attacking midfielders in the club.

Seen as You Cheng, he wanted to lead the offense in this game, and he focused on offense. The role of Xu Wenli and Liu Yunsheng in their positions was to sort out and launch the offense.

Kong Pengyu was selected for the national team for the first time and did not get a chance to start, but he appeared in the substitute lineup.

In friendly matches, Cheng Youcheng always likes to give young players some chances, and he should be able to get a chance to play in the time after the game.

Although the enthusiasm of the fans was also very high during the Olympic team game, Kong Pengyu felt another feeling at the scene at the moment.

The fans chanted loud and neat slogans from time to time, and sang familiar songs from time to time, the atmosphere was quite shocking.

The starting players of both sides stepped into the field, the Chinese team was wearing a red jersey, while the Honduras team was wearing a white jersey.

The average height of the Chinese team is higher than that of the Honduras team, which is also because several players in the Honduras team are characterized by the small fast spirit type.

The game started in a pre-match friendly atmosphere, and the visiting Honduras team had an obvious 442 formation.

They are good at defense, and they are also quite sharp in counterattack, but facing the Chinese team today, they took the initiative to strengthen the pressure and eager to control the ball.

After a while, the opponent's No. 9 player snatched the ball away from Liu Yunsheng's feet. Liu Yunsheng wanted to fight back but suffered a physical loss.

Without saying a word, Di Xiaoliang stepped forward to help counterattack, and there was an opening behind him. The opponent also found the opening, but failed to pass the ball before he successfully counterattacked.

Excellent physical confrontation ability, let him entangle with the No. 9 player without losing the wind, successfully broke the ball, and he is not worthy of the title of "sweeper".

After stealing the ball, he passed the ball to Xu Wenli who was asking for the ball on the other side. Xu Wenli's position was temporarily free from the opponent's fierce pressing players.

After Xu Wenli got the ball, he pushed forward without saying a word, carrying the ball steadily all the way forward. He didn't use too fast, and he still had time to make moves when facing the opponent's frontal press.

The No. 8 midfielder of the Honduras team came over and squeezed his body, making him unable to dribble normally.

But Xu Wenli didn't intend to continue dribbling, and sent a beautiful through ball forward, and the starting center Mi Du from Shanghai Chixiao appeared on the ball's running route.

The opponent's central defender failed to catch up with his rhythm. Mi Du followed the direction of the ball without making any adjustments. He turned his head and shot at the same time.

The ball was hit, but the position was too straight, and the goalkeeper blocked it with his body, and no goal was scored.

"Oh!" The fans at the scene let out a voice of regret. Only a few minutes after the game started, Midu gave them a heart stimulation.

The Chinese team's control over the ball gradually strengthened, while the Honduras team's pressing was also reduced and the defense was stabilized.

"Pass more from both sides, don't rush to hit the high ball." The person shouting from the sidelines was not the head coach Cheng Youcheng, but the assistant coach Zhong Weiguo.

The two have been like this since they partnered. Zhong Weiguo is usually the one who yells to remind the players on the sidelines, and Cheng Youcheng mostly says a few words when the players are close to him.

This is a manifestation of the tacit understanding between the two. Cheng Youcheng's affinity and Zhong Weiguo's intimidating power are the balance of a group of high-level players, making a team feel like having two head coaches at the same time.

The Chinese team's starting No. 12 right winger Bao Zihao is from Shanghai Chixiao. At this time, he got the ball from the right, faked a fax dunk, and ran all the way to the bottom.

Bao Zihao paused on the edge of the penalty area, intending to make a low pass, but the opponent's full-back came from behind and snatched the ball from Bao Zihao's feet by surprise.

The careless Bao Zihao wanted to counterattack, but the opponent quickly passed the ball to the No. 8 midfielder who came over to respond, and this midfielder immediately kicked up and passed to the Chinese team's empty right.

The No. 9 forward of the Honduras team quickly pulled the side to catch the ball, and the No. 22 full-back of the Chinese team, who had overwhelmed the half-court, quickly returned to the defense to make up for it.

The No. 22 is from Tianhe Sports, and his name is Zheng Yubao. He is a rare full-back with excellent speed and small skills in the Super League.

Although Zheng Yubao's speed was very fast, the opponent was already several positions away from him before he caught the ball.Only the central defender can make up the defense first, and he can fill in the position of the central defender.

The No. 9 striker in Honduras has unusual skills at his feet. In addition, his flexibility is higher than that of the defending central defender. After shaking the central defender, he has already started to cut inside.

But before he ran a few steps, Zheng Yubao, who rushed back, put a shovel directly from his side and behind, and broke the ball cleanly.

There was applause at the scene. Zheng Yubao's timely return to defense and perfect sliding shovel were highly ornamental and won the recognition of the fans.

The Honduras team launched a counterattack by taking advantage of the space on the wing when the Chinese team pressed the attack, which also exposed the loopholes of the Chinese team.

But Cheng Youcheng and Zhong Weiguo were not worried at all. The attacking formation would inevitably have defensive loopholes. Their current formation made them choose to accept the loopholes for the time being.

In this friendly match, Cheng Youcheng's main purpose is to test the specific shortcomings of the attacking formation in the actual game. He will use this formation when the game is behind or it is difficult to open the situation.

But now it seems that the problem with this formation is not only defensive, but the offense has also failed to achieve the goal of a strong attack.

That being the case, Cheng Youcheng will have another purpose for this friendly match.

He greeted several players who were selected for the national team for the first time, including Kong Pengyu, to warm up. The first half is almost over, and he may have to make personnel adjustments at the beginning of the second half.
