Chapter 459 An unprecedented predicament
At this moment, Yan Feng paid more attention to Modric than ever before.I think this is the biggest opponent he has faced so far in his career.This feeling of an opponent even surpassed that when facing Messi.
"This is a real opponent." Yan Feng was aroused with a fierce desire to win.
It sounds odd.Yan Feng tends to be very conservative when the two teams are evenly matched or when the team has the upper hand.And once the team fell behind, he didn't become demoralized, but he was really aroused with a stronger fighting spirit and a very strong desire to attack.
Being behind has never been a blow to Yan Feng.Or it should be said that when you meet the strong, you are strong.This is Yan Feng's substance.
Yan Feng's eyes began to sharpen, and his body felt hot when he met a strong enemy.
But at this time, the rest of the Chinese team did not have Yan Feng's state.Not everyone will be strong when they are strong, but more will be weaker when they are strong.Seeing that they were behind, most of the national football players began to have a look of confusion on their faces.
"Let's cheer up. We must become more efficient and not lose the ball again." Seeing the expressions of his teammates, Yan Feng habitually said some words of encouragement.
Yan Feng's words didn't have much effect.If a few words can easily change the morale of a team, that would be amazing.No one among the best coaches in the world dares to make such a guarantee.
Yan Feng understands that only actions and effective leadership can truly affect the morale and mentality of his teammates.If it is in Granada, his words will be effective because of his past record.But here is the Chinese team.The teammate is the person who was often jokingly referred to as the national pig.
To really motivate his teammates, the first thing Yan Feng has to do is to curb the strong momentum of the Croatian team.To do this, Yan Feng knew very well that he had to pinch off the opponent's brain, that is, Modric who was known as the 'Magic Flute'.Only by getting rid of the brain responsible for the command of the Croatian team, can the huge threat posed by the opponent to the Chinese team be alleviated.
Freezing Modric began to be the first choice in Yan Feng's mind.However, before that, it is necessary for the Chinese team to make a threatening attack in order to exchange some confidence of the teammates.
"Brother Zhi, I think it is necessary for me to participate in the attack." Yan Feng moved a few steps and said in front of Zheng Zhi.
"Well. We really need to strengthen our offensive. Come on, I will pay attention to the defense." Zheng Zhi nodded and patted Yan Feng on the shoulder.
Yan Feng nodded, and then passed Zheng Zhi.
Seeing that Yan Feng's position surpassed that of Zheng Zhi, Lin Fan, who was a little depressed, nodded to Yan Feng.
Yan Feng nodded to Lin Fan in response, then stood still, waiting for the referee's whistle.
"Beep."
Lin Fan immediately kicked the ball back towards Yan Feng.
Yan Feng stepped on the ball with one foot, and when Mandzukic of the Croatian team ran close to him, he pulled back, turned around and kicked the ball to Zheng Zhi.Then, move in the direction of the sidewalk.
Mandzukic then changed direction and ran towards Zheng Zhi.After Zheng Zhi waited for him to run close to a certain distance, he kicked the ball back to Yan Feng.
Yan Feng went straight ahead and was about to rush forward, but Perisic was approaching his way.Yan Feng didn't stop, but accelerated forward instead.His dash just happened to pass Perisic unexpectedly.
"Yeah, Yan Feng will pass by as soon as he accelerates. This is King Yan's strength."
"King Yan, come on!"
Yan Feng broke through as soon as he accelerated, which immediately excited the audience.The sense of loss that China has fallen behind has also faded a lot.
Yan Feng was also excited, just as he was about to charge forward in one fell swoop.Modric moved a few steps and got stuck right in the direction he was heading.
"Oh, it's the same when you come." Yan Feng knew that his speed advantage was also not comparable to Modric's, and his physical advantage was even more obvious.
And just when Yan Feng was about to rely on speed to force Modric, Rakitic also moved over to form a combined defense zone with Modric.And it's even better to block the area where Yan Feng was going to charge.
At the same time, after Modric waved his hand and shouted, Kovacic approached from the other side, and a triangle defense zone was officially formed.
Modric and Rakitic in the front are horns, blocking Yan Feng's way, and Kovacic is coming to form a flank.
Yan Feng could only stop, then turn around and kick the ball to his teammates.There was no way to go ahead, he hesitated and fell into the siege of the three, he had no choice but to do so.
"Hey." Yan Feng sighed helplessly.He is not the king of the ball, not even Messi. He can break through one or two people, but he cannot break through a closely coordinated defense zone.
After Yan Feng distributed the ball, Modric still kept a certain distance from him.As long as Yan Feng is good at it, he can immediately form a defense.Other Croatian players kept a similar distance.
Yan Feng immediately understood that as soon as he got the ball, the previous three-person surrounded defense zone would appear in front of him again.
In the end, we still have to rely on the support of other teammates.We can only hope that other people can give a little bit more.Yan Feng thought to himself.
However, in the Chinese team, there are not many people who support him.Except for Lin Fan, Zheng Zhi and a few others, the others were terrified even when they took the ball under unfavorable circumstances.Some people, even after passing the ball, showed a look of relief for a moment.
In this situation, facing the united and highly cooperative Croatian team, it is too difficult to form a threatening offense.In the end, after passing the ball a dozen times not very smoothly, the Croatian team used the cooperation of the two to break the ball.
"Everyone, go back to the defense." The moment his teammates lost the ball, Yan Feng immediately started to run back and shouted loudly.Fortunately, when he found it difficult for him to hold the ball, he consciously retreated back.
Being prepared, Yan Feng can quickly return to his defensive position.But after Modric got the ball, he immediately stepped forward to block the former's advancing route.
Yan Feng blocked Modric's way, and the latter immediately began to observe his surroundings.
Opponents are distracted looking for teammates, which is an opportunity.Yan Feng rushed up suddenly.
And Modric's feet were also very fast. After Yan Feng stepped forward, he quickly retreated and pulled the ball back.Then, pull back a few times.In this way, Yan Feng's sudden steal was avoided.
Yan Feng failed the first time, and if he wanted to follow the second time, he would have no chance.When he wanted to approach again, Modric flicked his feet lightly, and he immediately pushed the football to his teammate's feet accurately.
Yan Feng's quick and decisive actions disrupted Modric's organizational rhythm.But that was all, the ball was still in Croatia's hands, and their formation wasn't affected much.They still maintain a tight attacking formation.
Fortunately, the teammates who quickly returned to their positions this time have basically established their defensive positions, which made Yan Feng somewhat relieved.
With no opportunity for quick raids, the Croatian team once again switched to patient positional warfare.
Yan Feng's main attention is on Modric.If you pinch him, you can pinch the rhythm of the Croatian team.As long as Modric has the possibility to catch the ball, Yan Feng will approach him to create pressure.
With Yan Feng's full attention, the ball rarely came to Modric's feet.However, Modric did not appear anxious because of this, and still had a calm face.
Modric calmed down, but Yan Feng couldn't calm down.Under his care, Modric really didn't have many chances to get the ball.But Modric is constantly using his running position to create opportunities for his teammates.At the same time, he continued to speak out to direct his teammates to attack.
In this way, Yan Feng restricted Modric from taking the ball, but he could not restrain him from directing the Croatian team to complete a very threatening attack.
After a difficult defense, the Chinese team finally survived a threatening attack from the Croatian team.Such a situation once again sounded a nervous bell in the hearts of the Chinese team.
Change the Chinese team to control the ball. This time, Yan Feng signaled Zheng Zhi to organize, and then he took the opportunity to attack from behind.Unfortunately, under the rigorous overall defense of the Croatian team, the ball was intercepted halfway before it was passed to him.
After spending a lot of effort to return to the defense in time to slow down the fast attack of the Croatian team, they fell into positional warfare again.Yan Feng once again tried everything possible to limit Modric's defense.But, in the same way, the Chinese team could not limit the Croatian team's offense.Another shot was completed by the opponent.
Although he failed to score again, the pressure increased in the hearts of every Chinese player.
"Hey!" After a few more rounds, Yan Feng suddenly let out a long sigh.
After these few rounds, Yan Feng suddenly found that he seemed to be matched.
He can limit the number of times Modric takes the ball, but he can't limit the latter from commanding his teammates on the field.He can control the ball and organize from Modric, but he can't control the offensive organization of the entire Croatian team.
This makes it impossible for the Chinese team to limit the opponent's attack.With the increase in the number of shots, Yan Feng felt that the second conceded goal was likely to occur.
Yan Feng felt a sense of powerlessness.He turned his head and looked to the sidelines, wanting to get help from coach Lippi.And the way the latter was frowning deeply made his heart tighten.
"Can't Lippi do anything?"
Yan Feng has never felt so worried.The opponent's attack made him feel tremendous pressure.But what gave him the most powerlessness was his own attack.The opponent's overall defense is indeed strong, and even in Yan Feng's opinion, it is not much worse than the Italian team, which is famous for its defense.But there is no unbreakable defense in the world, but there are not many people on his side who can help him on offense.
Even if there is one of the forward teammates who can kick the goal in one-on-one.As long as there is such a one, this game still has to be played.
The striker teammates, as long as there is a defender, they can see death, which makes the Croatian team have enough troops to limit Yan Feng's back penetration or even strong breakthrough.
This is an unprecedented predicament!
Yan Feng thought so.But soon, he discovered that his predicament was just the beginning.
Ten minutes later, that is, 10 minutes into the first half, the Croatian team used a large-scale transfer to break through the Chinese team's defense.And successfully outflanked by Mandzukic in the middle, and blasted the Chinese team's goal again with a header.
2:0.
Two goals behind?Two goals!It was as if Yan Feng's heart had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze.
