Chapter 530 A powerful opponent

Zheng Qi practiced for a long time in the club's training room that night - ball control has always been an item that any professional football player must practice. After all, in professional games, ball control has always been a very important technical link. Because you cannot use any skills while in possession of the ball.

This training is just to stabilize it, otherwise he has never practiced ball control before, and it is undoubtedly a dream to expect it to be effective overnight.

Zheng Qi's ball control is very good, but he still made up for it temporarily, which is also the key factor why Su Jing began to feel at ease about it.

Zheng Qi got up early the next day, and then went directly into the holographic cabin, entered the arena, and then found that all the Overlords had arrived.

"Oh, you guys are so early."

Zheng Qi said in surprise, this time he was really a little surprised, he himself is used to getting up early, he has always had a very good schedule, even when playing live broadcasts, and today he wakes up at the same time as As usual, get up at [-] o'clock, do some activities, and enter the football era at [-] o'clock, and now it's only a few minutes past [-] o'clock, but everyone from the Bawang team has arrived.

They are not professional players, but standard amateur players, yet they came so early today.

"Can it be early? I saw the opponents in the lottery yesterday, and my heart was cold. I didn't sleep well at night, so I had to get up early." Yingbo said with a wry smile.

Zheng Qi was taken aback, Yingbo didn't talk much yesterday, but he seemed resolute and silent, and now he spoke in such a dejected manner, what happened?

"Don't mind, it's mainly the first draw. We were so unlucky that we met the Xihan team." Overlord said to Zheng Qi.

"What happened to the West Han team? Are they rare?" Zheng Qi asked.

"It's not a big deal. It was their guys who prevented us from entering the semi-finals last year, and they also reached the finals last year, but they lost to the Cao Wei team in the end." Overlord replied.

"Wow, doesn't this team represent the highest level in China?" Zheng Qi understood now.

"It can be said like this. Although it is said that the teams that can actually enter the top [-] are very good and have the strength to hit the championship, but in the final analysis, the West Han team is one of the strongest teams now judging by their state. We lost last year. It would be worse to lose to them." Overlord said a little discouraged.

"In the first round, the top eight meet the top two? Is this draw scientific?" Zheng Qi said dissatisfied.

"That can't be helped. There are more exaggerated draws than this one. It can only be said that we are out of luck." Fan Zeng sighed.

"Were you all here last year? Who is that other person?" Zheng Qi asked.

"Well, we are all here, and the other person is not strong enough and has been eliminated by us before." Yuji replied.

"Oh, then there's no problem. With one less scumbag and one more me, our strength has multiplied. It's time to seek revenge from the Xihan team!" Zheng Qi waved his arms and said confidently .

"...Then I'll leave it to you." Overlord was silent for a while, and then said to Zheng Qi.

"No problem, just look at mine." Zheng Qi chuckled.

"So confident, it looks like he should be really capable." Long Qie whispered to Fan Zeng.

"Our offense is actually very unique, we only need a player who can control and pass the ball. If he is such a player, then we really have a fight." Fan Zeng nodded and replied.

In fact, in last year's competition, the Overlords did not suffer too much overall. In terms of the players' personal abilities, they were already at the highest level. Their attributes were at the level of professional players and they had rich experience. , The cooperation is not bad, but there is no such outstanding player, so it seems to be very disadvantaged in the competition. In last year's competition, they were able to enter the quarterfinals, all the way because of some luck factors.

For example, in some games, they were at a disadvantage, but they won the game with a sneak attack. The combination of these few players in the frontcourt is very suitable for counterattacks. Their strength is not enough to suppress other opponents.

Even when the opposing team does not have outstanding players, they can still rely on tenacious fighting spirit and correct tactics to win. However, when facing teams with such players, they often lose without temper. .

For example, when I met the West Han team last year.

The other players of the West Han team, compared with their players, are just about the same level. If they are better, they will not be too good. However, their top forward Han Xin and top midfielder Zhang Liang have extremely good standards. The ability to bring goals, one can continuously instigate the attack, and the others surround these two people, the ability shown is quite outstanding. Although the Overlords played tenaciously in that game, they were still defeated by the opponent. Scored three goals and was beaten without temper.

In this case, the Bawang team will have a shadow, and it will appear more normal.

Teams like the Western Han Dynasty actually had about a dozen teams last year, but they were unlucky. They encountered strong teams such as the Western Han Team and Cao Wei Team early on and were eliminated. The prospect of the Bawang team is not so good optimism.

After making some adjustments and warming up, the Overlord team headed to their own venue. There are thousands of stadiums in this arena, but it can't accommodate all the participating teams. After all, there are millions of participating teams. Only hundreds of thousands of stadiums can allow them to play together, so except for a few games that are played in these famous stadiums in the arena, the other teams compete in temporary stadiums.

The Overlords, on the other hand, have some of the glory of the West Han team. Of course, their reputation is not small. Last year's top eight faced last year's runner-up. Because of their identities, this match was arranged to be held at Old Trafford. There are also many players who did not participate in the game but are interested in classical football and came to watch the game.

"The West Han team was last year's runner-up, and last year was the Bawang team they eliminated. It seems that this year, the West Han team will also have a great advantage."

"Just look at the name... Overlord team, the reputation is very powerful, but Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was finally killed by Liu Bang."

"It was the same last year. I watched the game. The Bawang team was beaten terribly. In fact, they have a lot of good players in the team. The striker Bawang, the two wingers Yu Jilongqi, and the goalkeeper Fan Zeng performed very well. It's a pity. , the West Han team has more players, the goalkeeper Liu Bang is their captain, the reaction is really very sensitive, plus they have leaders in the three lines, the defender Xiao He, the midfielder Zhang Liang, the striker Han Xin... just looking at these names... Knowing that this group of people have been playing football together for a long time, and they have an excellent overall team, the Bawang team has not changed much this year, and it seems that the West Han team has the upper hand this year."

"You can tell by looking at the odds. The bookmakers are also very good, and they will open the market for this kind of game."

"Who are you pressing?"

"Western Han, although the odds are low, it's safe."

A lot of fans in the stands are discussing one after another. Although most of the more than one billion players in Football Era China are watching professional games, there are still many fans of classical football. At least in such heavyweight games, There will be many spectators coming to the scene to watch the game.

"The West Han team is good at ball-handling tactics. They have five players in the midfield. The core is Zhang Liang, and Han Xin is at the top. His characteristics are not the same as mine. He is a standard opportunistic shooter. It is very difficult for us. Defending him, the key to this game is up to Guan Zhong. If you can suppress Zhang Liang in the midfield organization, then we can get more offensive opportunities and score more goals. , Facing an opponent like Xihan, relying on defense can only lead to a dead end."

In the locker room before the start of the game, Overlord said very sadly that last year they used defensive counterattacks all the way to the quarterfinals. They still have strong confidence in their own tactics. However, in the quarterfinals Among them, facing the West Han team's ball possession and onslaught, they couldn't find any chance to counterattack, and their proud defense was constantly being opened, even if they put on an extreme defensive formation with three midfielders.

"Exactly, my characteristics are not suitable for playing defense... In short, you run more, I will continue to pass the ball to dispatch you, you just need to pay attention to my position when you get the ball, I will appear in the right place to respond Yours." Zheng Qi said.

"The West Han team is also very good at this style of play. Zhang Liang is such a good ball-handler. Can we beat them with this tactic?" Long Qie asked with some doubts.

"Then what tactics were you planning to use before?" Zheng Qi asked frivolously, digging his ears.

"Pass quickly through the midfield, fly both wings together, and grab points in the middle." Overlord replied: "At that time, what I thought was that with Chen Fengxiao and I's ability to grab points in the middle, as long as there are continuous crosses from the two wings, then we can continue to pass. Create a threat."

"Then there must be a split in the middle, who will split the ball?" Zheng Qi asked.

Hearing this, Overlord felt more at ease: "Yingbo and Jibu both have a certain ability to play the ball, and Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi's ability to respond to the two wings is not bad, enough for us to distribute the ball to the wing Attacking."

"Well, then change it to the tactics I said, and there will be no problem. When we attack, the wings should be inserted more, and we should respond more. After getting the ball, pay attention to running, and don't control the ball too much. The task of controlling the ball is given to me. Just run more and get involved, I can guarantee that I will not lose the ball easily, and at the same time I will better send the ball to the most threatening place." Zheng Qi said.

The players of the Bawang team looked at each other. Although Zheng Qi's words were not long, they had indeed revealed the whole essence of the ball-handling offensive tactics.

"Okay, listen to you, we must beat the Xihan team... Only if we win the Xihan team will we be eligible to compete for the championship and qualify for the World Cup!" Overlord waved his fist and said loudly.

"Okay, no problem!" The Bawang players shouted one after another.
