Fox in the Penalty Area

When Osvaldo was still doubting what he saw, there was a thunder in the sky above the stadium:

"HUUUUU!!!"

Hou Lai has finished his celebration.

Osvaldo was awakened by the thunder, and he came back to his senses. Turn around and let the assistant coach, who is still holding his head in pain and regret for losing the ball, go to the bench to shake people.

"Get Masao Yonezawa ready to play!"

As a head coach, he reacts quite quickly and decisively. There is no hesitation, and you know right away what you should do.

As the team's midfield organizer, Yonezawa Masao is the main force of Royal Catjon. But before this game, he did not choose to start Masao Yonezawa because he wanted to focus on defense in the away game.

Then Masao Yonezawa, who is not good at defense, can only be removed from the starting lineup.

However, Masao Yonezawa was not completely left at home, but went out with the team.

Deep down in his heart, Osvaldo is still looking forward to taking away a victory in the away game.

Besides, one more offensive player means one more preparation. In this way, when something unexpected happens during the game, it can be regarded as prepared.

Facts have proved that Osvaldo's decision is correct.

Now he needs to replace Masao Yonezawa and regain control of the midfield.

In fact, Osvaldo doesn't need to be so anxious. After all, his team just conceded a goal and the score was only 0:1. There is still a long time in the second half of the game.

Besides, even a score of 0:1 may not be unacceptable.

After all, this is an away game, and they are facing a team like Leeds City who are good at attacking. Losing only one goal is already a very good result.

But Osvaldo's substitution was not for offense.

Or not just for offense.

He is for defense.

After Leeds scored a goal, the morale was boosted, and the offensive will definitely be strengthened next-Osvaldo does not think that Leeds will slow down after leading,

Recovery defense.

Under such circumstances, if Royal Carterjon continues to defend, it is very likely that they will not be able to defend.

After all, after losing the ball, it dealt a blow to the mentality and morale of the players.

At this time, if you continue to defend according to the previous tactical requirements without making any adjustments, if you are rushed by Leeds City's offense, Royal Carterjon's defense line will be in chaos-because Leeds City has been used to it in previous games. Adapted to Royal Carterjon's defensive tactics.

So it was necessary to replace, and it had to be replaced by Masao Yonezawa, a midfielder who usually plays the main role in Royal Carterjon. He has skills. Use his skills to help the team control the ball, so that the players gradually recover from the panic after losing the ball.

So Osvaldo quickly made such substitution adjustments.

At the same time, after stabilizing the situation, the presence of Masao Yonezawa on the field can also give Royal Carterjon the capital to fight back.

At that time, seize the vacancy left by Leeds City's attack and send a through kick; or take advantage of the exhaustion of Leeds City's offensive power, Masao Yonezawa organizes the offensive, and the main goal is to turn back. Even if you can't score, at least it can make Leeds City's offense no longer so unscrupulous, thus reducing the pressure on Royal Carterjon's defense.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Hu Lai has finished celebrating with his teammates and is running back to his half.

At this time, Yonezawa Masao was already standing on the sidelines, listening to their head coach Alvardo's instructions.

Seeing this scene, Hu Lai winked at Junpei Morikawa beside him: "Morikawa, the opportunity has come!"

Morikawa Junpei glanced at the sidelines, shook his head and said, "The boss didn't arrange any specific tasks for me."

The implication is that Clark does not make adjustments, then he will still follow the requirements Clark gave him before the game, and will not act without authorization because of Masao Yonezawa.

This is the rigid side of Junpei Morikawa mentioned earlier.

But at the same time, this is also his valuable advantage. As a defensive player, you must be clear that the most important thing in defense is not personal ability, but tactical discipline.

If every defensive player acts according to his own ideas and ignores the team's tactical discipline, then the team's defense is no different from a fake one.

In other words, Morikawa Junpei is an unremarkable iron rod, put it in the hands of ordinary people, pick it up and swing it for a round, and if it can swing a big windmill, it is considered a good trick. But it's just a stick.

But in the hands of Monkey King, it became the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" that terrified countless monsters and ghosts.

The key is to see whether it will be used.

If Clark is indifferent to Real Catjon's substitution adjustment, or reacts slowly. Then Junpei Morikawa still followed the previous tactical requirements to protect Jay Adams and Pete Williams. As for what Masao Yonezawa will do after playing, that is not what Junpei Morikawa wants to consider.

He will not take a step beyond the threshold.

If Masao Yonezawa's performance here causes Leeds City to concede the ball... Even if Junpei Morikawa is responsible, he will admit it, but he may make the same choice next time...

As soon as Junpei Morikawa finished speaking, he heard Pete Williams calling Hu Lai: "Hu, the boss is looking for you."

Hu Lai followed the prestige and saw Clark gesturing to him from the sidelines, and at the same time shouted: "Let Morikawa freeze him!"

He pointed to Masao Yonezawa who was still on the sidelines.

Simple and clear, you can know it at a glance.

Hu Lai nodded, turned around and said to Morikawa Junpei: "The task is here, the boss wants you to freeze Masao Yonezawa."

Junpei Morikawa looked up at his senior in the national team and nodded:

"it is good."

Real Catalejon did not succeed in making substitutions immediately, because Masao Yonezawa was still being dragged by coach Osvaldo until they kicked off and restarted the game.

It seems that Osvaldo has a lot of instructions to Masao Yonezawa, not just pat him on the shoulder and say to him "Go up and kick as usual".

Just when Osvaldo pulled Masao Yonezawa to arrange tactics for him, Leeds City's offensive on the field remained undiminished.

Just as Osvaldo feared, Leeds City, who had taken the lead, attacked fiercely, while Real Carterjon, who lost the ball, was demoralized and defended very hard.

In the stands, the Leeds City fans cheered wave after wave, one wave after another.

If you don’t watch the game screen and just listen to the sound, then every time the Leeds City fans cheer, they may think that Leeds City has scored another goal...

The game didn't go dead until five minutes later when Real Caterjon full-back Benjamin Maldonado kicked the ball straight over the touchline very close to the end line under pressure from Kamara.

Masao Yonezawa was unable to run.

In the box in the stands, seeing Masao Yonezawa coming on stage, Hiroto Motegi straightened his back slightly and looked down.

The two Japanese players are about to join forces, but he didn't change his posture just for this matter.

Because this is the daily life of Japanese football, it is not worth his excitement at all.

The reason why he paid attention a little bit was because he could finally see Masao Yonezawa's performance in this game, so he wouldn't run for nothing... half a trip.

※※※

After Masao Yonezawa came on the field, following the request of head coach Osvaldo, he took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball.

After you want to pass the ball, control it under your feet, and then pass it out.

It's just that he doesn't always pass forward, but mainly crosses and returns.

The purpose of doing this is to stabilize the rhythm and avoid being stunned and scattered by Leeds City's fast rush.

This was obviously Osvaldo's instruction.

Masao Yonezawa did a great job too.

I don't know if this is one of the characteristics of Japanese players, that is, they are relatively good in tactical discipline...

Seeing Masao Yonezawa's performance, Hu Lai remembered that Asian Cup match.

As the midfield organizer of the Japanese team, Masao Yonezawa has a very high appearance rate. But his performance in that game was not as good as in this game.

It may be because of the different mentality during the game, or the different tactical requirements of the club and the national team.

In short, Masao Yonezawa, wearing the Royal Catjon jersey, is obviously more at home when he is on the court than when he was in the national team.

This is also normal.

Due to many factors such as different tactics, different positions of players, and different strengths of teammates, a player's performance in the club team and the national team is often very different.

Those who can play the core in the club may not even start in the national team.

And the one who is alone in the national team may be a substitute when he returns to the club...

Yonezawa Masao is still the kind with a relatively small gap. He is the main force and midfield organizer in the Royal Carterjon and the Japanese national team.

With Masao Yonezawa's control of the field after he came on the field, the performance of Royal Catjon can be seen to be better with the naked eye.

Driven by Masao Yonezawa, the players tried to use slow to fast.

Generally speaking, the players of La Liga teams have very good skills. So when watching the live broadcast of La Liga matches, I often see those small teams and newly promoted players who are not well-known in Mali can play tricks in front of the players of the rich teams, making fun of the expensive rich players.

The Premier League teams are slightly lacking in this aspect, especially the small teams that are also ranked low, and they still pay attention to simplicity and directness.

The speed is fast and the confrontation is fierce, but the technique at the feet...is not flattering.

This is the style of football in different countries.

Once Royal Carterjon slowed down the pace, Leeds City's aggressive offensive just now was obviously less scary.

Fast and slow are always a pair of enemies in football, like spear and shield.

Leeds City want to use their own fast to deal with Real Carterjon. It's like a sharp spear, straight to the Royal Cathorn.

If the latter follows the rhythm of Leeds City, sooner or later they will be taken into the ditch by the opponent. That's why Osvaldo replaced Masao Yonezawa, a player who can hold the ball, deliberately slowing down the pace to frustrate Leeds City's spirit. Let the defense of Royal Carterjon become a bottomless swamp, and the spear of Leeds City will fall into the quagmire and cannot extricate itself.

It appears to have seen initial results.

Until Masao Yonezawa took the ball in the midfield and was knocked down by Junpei Morikawa who suddenly advanced...

The whistle sounded.

Foul by Junpei Morikawa.

However, Royal Carterjon's previous smooth pass control was interrupted by this harsh whistle.

"Morikawa Junpei is not polite to his national teammate Yonezawa Masao! He actually took a foul directly! And it was a foul that went up more than ten meters and ran directly from the back midfielder to the front midfielder...Obviously, he He didn't think about breaking the ball at this moment, he was trying to give Masao Yonezawa... a blow!" He Feng said.

Masao Yonezawa didn't expect Junpei Morikawa to rush up for more than ten meters without making a sound, knocking him to the ground, and he stared at Junpei Morikawa with wide eyes when he fell to the ground.

After the latter got up from the ground, he directly extended his hand to Masao Yonezawa, and at the same time said in Japanese: "I am very sorry, Senior Yonezawa. But I am now a player of Leeds City."
