Chapter 30 Against the Silver Ship (Part 2)
Baggio's goal ignited the fuse of Fiorentina's massive attack. Even if Real Madrid players can control the rhythm of the game - but how can they control it if they can't touch the ball?
Fiorentina's three lines are all top in the world. When it comes to midfield, it may not be as good as Real Madrid in terms of control consciousness, but when it comes to offensive power, no team dares to say that their midfield is even more terrifying than Fiorentina!
Redondo has tried his best, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the eleven players on the Fiorentina are all top players, the team's real offensive soul is Ling Feng.
The main attacker Batistuta has become a cover, and no one dares to ignore the power of the God of War. When the Argentine stands there, the opponent's defender must be assigned to set up at least one person to guard the body, and at the same time, other players must be assisted by a group, otherwise, they will die.
No. 2 offensive player Robert Baggio, given his characteristics of running back and forth in the middle and frontcourt, Real Madrid players did not specifically guard him, but only set obstacles on Baggio's way forward. However, when Prince Melancholy enters the penalty area, he also has to disperse the hearts of at least two defenders.
As for Effenberg and Rui Costa, these two people cannot defend themselves at all because they rarely surpass others and just see the opportunity to pass the ball - this is much more difficult than marking two people to break through by dribbling the ball.
The headache is still behind. The assists of Carlos and Toulam, two full-backs, made up for the shortcomings of Fiorentina's wing, because whether it is Effenberg or Rui Costa, their areas of activity are mostly in the middle - no matter what league it is in, the middle is always the most difficult to break through, and it is necessary to pull the opponent's defense with appropriate wing attacks.
There was a powerful center like Batistuta in the middle, and no one dared to make the two full-backs feel comfortable crossing. In this situation, there was a lack of some defensive power.
But it's fine. Although these people are world superstars, it does not mean that their cooperation can easily tear open their defense line, because defensive players always take a big advantage. As long as they touch the ball and change direction, they can destroy the opponent's attack.
The defense of the Iron Barrel Formation forces the opponent to fight a position with him. Even a team like Florence with superstars needs some luck to break through the opponent's goal.
But when it comes to the threat of top stars, no one in the world dares to say that they are better than Ling Feng!
Under the age of eighteen, he has broken the record in world football history again and again. As a midfielder, he scored so many goals, Ling Feng's lethality can be ranked No. 1 in the world.
It would be fine if he was just a forward. Ronaldo was known as an alien, but he scored not as good as Ling Feng's goal because as a forward, his running range and shooting area were very limited. Even if he could occasionally escape from the siege of several defenders, most of the time, Ronaldo was still cut more times.
But no one dares to say that he can completely defend Ling Feng. The running range of this Chinese boy is amazing. For a midfielder, it is absolutely impossible to use a man-to-man tactic to defend himself. However, in their respective areas, no one can say that he can break the ball under the feet of this Chinese boy.
What's more, Ling Feng also had a scary long shot!
When you cannot enter the opponent's penalty area, the general strategy can only be to cross from the side, and try to use a high-altitude ball to tear the opponent's defense, or you can only shoot a long shot outside the penalty area.
But in general, it is really not something that ordinary people can do if they don’t have a goalkeeper if they are interfered with each other.
"Defending Ling Feng is equivalent to breaking one leg of Florence." This sentence is a sentence circulated among major European clubs today. It does not mean that Ling Feng's ability is overestimated. No matter how strong he is, he cannot compete with the other ten top players at the same time.
But his long shot was really terrible!
Just like the third-point king on the basketball court, when he joins, he can easily score without being able to score the opponent's basket. If a weak team with a three-point king in the team is in the team, it may not be as good as the opponents with an average height of two meters - not to mention, if measured by basketball height standards, Fiorentina's average height is at least 2 meters five...
Unlike Ling Feng in the Hamburg team, he is the only top star in the team. If he is defended, the Hamburg team will have to surrender - the premise is that Ling Feng must be defended to death.
The common method, the human wave tactic, four people went out to siege Ling Feng and one of them. It was a good method when other teammates were not of good level.
But for Florence now, there is no other way except for people to watch people, because if his teammates are missed, it will be extremely terrible...
Uh, use a simple mathematical addition and subtraction to explain this problem.
Batistuta can match two ordinary players, and Baggio can match two, Effenberg and Rui. Costa will play one and a half, Vieira rarely comes forward to assist, so Ignore it for the time being. Ling Feng's threat can match at least three. Carlos and Turam have few attacks, and they are not very threatening. Just consider one - two plus two plus one and a half times two plus three plus two...
Twelve players!
The opponent excludes the goalkeeper and a forward who is heading in the front, and there are only nine - isn't this an obvious bully?!
Redondo is now equal to one to three, because under his clamping, Ling Feng did not have a threatening shot in the entire first half. Although he assisted a goal, the responsibility was not on Redondo. If he insisted on holding the responsibility for the concealment of the ball, he could only say that goalkeeper Ilgena had a problem - if he had Superman's speed, he could save the ball...
At the end of the first half, although both sides did not score in the next twenty minutes, Suke and Baggio each had a threatening shot, but the goalkeepers of the two teams made great contributions and kept the score at 1:0.
Redondo sat in the corner in a quiet voice and drank water. Following Ling Feng's rhythm in the first half made him wasted too much energy. Although he once wanted to get the disadvantage back, Real Madrid's morale suffered a serious blow after losing the ball. Whether it was cooperation or personal gain, it was not as flexible as before. There was no way. Anyone who had watched the Fiorentina game knew that their terrible thing was not only offense, but also excellent defense. It was harder to score their goals than to let them not score.
Suke's shot was a header who caught the corner kick, but no one expected that the goalkeeper who usually seemed to have nothing to do was react so quickly. Redondo happened to face Ling Feng at that time. Looking at the Chinese expression, he thought the ball was about to enter...
Where is Florence’s weakness?
Meanwhile, in the lounge in Florence.
"Real Madrid will definitely attack fiercely in the second half. I will interfere with Redondo and prevent him from organizing the midfield. The offensive task will be handed over to you." Ling Feng sat aside after he said that and listened to the opinions of others.
"I agree with Ling," Batistuta took over the conversation: "Fernando is an excellent midfield organizer. If he is allowed to play freely, we will definitely be passive."
"But," Vieira said, "I'll just go guard against him. Let Ling take the time to attack. It can be seen that their left side is the weakest. Wouldn't it be better to shift Ling's position to the right to fight for a breakthrough?"
"It's not me to hit you, Patrick." Ling Feng patted Vieira's shoulder: "That Argentine is not something you can watch now, not to mention that Raul behind him needs you to assist in defense. When Xiao Ka and Lilian assisted, our number of defenders was really not large."
Seeing Vieira being coaxed back so easily, Ling Feng laughed in his stomach: "It's not that serious. As long as you guard the midfield organizer to death, Stephen will interfere with Seidorf and prevent him from shooting from long. Real Madrid's attack will be like breaking his legs. Vieira, Vieira, you are still too young."
Maradona, who had not spoken, glanced at Ling Feng, and Ling Feng also happened to face him. The two of them expressed the same meaning in their eyes: "You are not a good thing either!"
"Diego, are you hiding something from me?" When he walked out of the lounge, Ling Feng deliberately dragged behind slowly and asked Maradona in a low voice.
"I've been hiding too much about you!" Maradona rolled his eyes: "Do you want to tell you how big my underwear is?"
"Bah!" Ling Feng almost choked to death by Lao Ma's words: "I mean it's related to me. To be honest, I always feel something is wrong between you and Redondo."
"I swear with my conscience that I never made glass with him. Damn, I'm on the court!" After Maradona said that, she knew that she had been misled by Ling Feng. Seeing Ling Feng throwing a sentence "Your conscience has been eaten by a dog" and running to the court, Lao Ma couldn't help but wipe the sweat off her head...
"This guy is really smart, but fortunately I'm not a little versatile. Uh, should I tell him?"
…………
As Ling Feng expected, Redondo's possession time gradually increased. Under his dispatch, Real Madrid resumed the smooth cooperation at the beginning of the first half - no, it was much stronger in offense than in the first half!
Although he interfered with Redondo, just like his defense against Ling Feng in the first half, he could only prevent him from breaking through at most. As for passing, he could only slightly hinder him, making the ball's landing point not as accurate as planned.
But the more he fought like this, the more shocked Ling Feng was. The skill of the man in front of him could even be comparable to Baggio. However, unlike Baggio, perhaps because he was in the middle, Redondo rarely ran at high speed and changed directions, but often he would suddenly pass the ball to the other side during the run, which made Ling Feng very troubled - because Redondo's eyes were always staring forward, and he could not judge his next move from his eyes!
Experience is a very important factor when the two talk. The so-called experience means that by observing the other party's eyes and movements, he will promptly judge his next move by observing the other party's eyes, movements, etc., but Redondo's eyes can no longer see through. When dealing with the ball, he will pass the ball out every time without swaying his feet.
Exercise force instantly, this is a very difficult one in football skills. It only passes the ball out through the strength of the ankle. Because the swing of the legs is very small, the force of the ball cannot be compared with passing by the legs. However, the advantage is that the defender next to him cannot predict his movements at all. This move is particularly common in small-scale cooperation in front of the penalty area.
But Redondo used it on the pass and catch near the midfield, which made Ling Feng crazy.
Real Madrid's ball possession time has increased, and relatively speaking, Fiorentina's offense has been curbed. Although Baggio often breaks out in the frontcourt with a change of direction and breaks out of the opponent's defense, the exposed gap is quickly filled by other defenders, especially when the opponent's goalkeeper has a large control range, Fiorentina's tactic of trying to use the ball behind him to hit the opponent's penalty area has failed.
There is Baggio in Fiorentina and Raul in Real Madrid. This golden boy is not at all inferior in his conversation with Cannavaro. His gorgeous dance steps make Cannavaro, the "king of tackles", dare not make any moves. Cannavaro met his nemesis. Now he is naturally not as good as the captain of the 2006 championship team. In defense, tackles are the most commonly used. When he encounters delicate techniques like Ling Feng, Raul, and Ronaldinho, it is really a troublesome problem to accurately cut off the ball under their feet without a foul.
As a last resort, Cannavaro could only try his best to block Raul's route - who made him look at the center back, Cannavaro did not tackle, and was at best an excellent defender when he was not famous now.
The two sides passed ten minutes in a stalemate. Another ordinary attack from Real Madrid was passed by Redondo. Ling Feng suddenly stepped forward and pressed as before, and Redondo also passed the ball to Raul, who was in the middle, as usual.
According to the usual style, the next step should be to Raul control the ball and then give it to the two strikers with the better position. Ling Feng thought this way, but suddenly found that Redondo next to him suddenly inserted into the left at high speed!
