Fox in the Penalty Area

Zhang Qinghuan's position is not fixed at the front, and he needs to keep retreating to meet the passes of his teammates.

In the absence of Qin Lin's ability to play, Zhao Kangming's task for him was not simply to be a midfielder, he was also responsible for connecting the team's midfield. So sometimes he has to retrace deep enough.

This is also a no-brainer.

In fact, if Qin Lin is not injured, and Zhang Qinghuan can play well and get the chance to play, Qin Lin should have done the work of connecting the midfield and backcourt. What Zhang Qinghuan needs to connect is the midfield and frontcourt.

Accompanied by his wife and son, Qin Lin sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the live broadcast of the game.

"Running up and down like this, I'm a little worried about Zhang Qinghuan's physical strength." Qin Lin said to his wife while watching the TV. "The quality of his training has not been high, plus he fools around every day... It has improved in the past month or so, but it is not enough..."

"It's okay, he only has to play half the game," the wife said.

As the wife of the captain of the Chinese national team, even if she didn't know much about football before, after so many years, she still has basic football knowledge.

Qin Lin nodded and agreed with his wife's words: "I think Lao Zhao must be very aware of this, so he didn't let him start."

As soon as the words fell, the football was passed to Zhang Qinghuan who retreated and asked for the ball.

And Wuzhou Dongshan's No. 8 player kicked up immediately to prevent him from turning around.

Zhang Qinghuan didn't stop the ball, but directly used the inside of his left foot to knock the football between the opponent's legs. At the same time, he used the opponent's body as the axis, turned around close to him, and caught up with the football!

"Wow! It's beautiful!" the commentator of Anton Satellite TV exclaimed. "As expected of Zhang Qinghuan! This ball sense!"

Qin Qi, the son in front of the TV, also jumped up and shouted, "Handsome!"

Zhao Kangming, who was on the bench off the field, went to look at Chen Mo for the first time, and found that Chen Mo was also looking at him. The two old partners looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

This is the Zhang Qinghuan they wanted to see!

Zhang Qinghuan, who was catching up with the football, tried to continue to dribble the ball forward to bring up the offensive momentum of Flashing Star.

Another Wuzhou Dongshan player rushed up from the side,

He squeezed up hard and stuck to Zhang Qinghuan, not letting him get rid of it.

Faced with such a defense, Zhang Qinghuan chose to directly push the football forward, and then speed up, relying on speed to eat the opponent raw.

His explosive power can ensure that he can throw away the opponent in an instant, and then get the opponent stuck behind him.

But this time, he didn't succeed.

Football goes out, but people don't get rid of it.

In the process of chasing the football, the opponent refused to give an inch, and the two of them hit each other with arms, body to body. Football, which could be caught up in two or three steps, seems to be out of reach.

In the end, the football that was waded out by him was intercepted by the third Wuzhou Dongshan player guarding in front, and Flash Star's attack came to an end here.

"Ah! This ball is too big..." Anton Satellite TV commentator let out a long sigh.

The joy in the eyes of Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo flickered twice, and then disappeared, and they also regretted that this attack did not come out.

It was also regrettable for Qin Qi, the child leaned against the back of the sofa with his head in his hands.

※※※

After Hu Lai saw that Zhang Qinghuan made a beautiful turn and got rid of his opponent, he immediately moved forward actively and prepared to respond.

Who would have thought that after halfway running, he would turn around and find that Zhang Qinghuan had put the football at the opponent's feet...

The offense and defense were reversed in an instant, and he had to follow his teammates back to defense quickly.

The ones before this damn have all run away for nothing, wasting energy for nothing...

His heart is bitter.

He could only spit at the back of Zhang Qinghuan who was also returning to defense: "Damn! Isn't it awesome during training!"

Also spitting at Zhang Qinghuan's back was Yuan Yue, the back of Wuzhou Dongshan who had no reaction to Zhang Qinghuan's turning and getting rid of just now.

If his teammates hadn't come up to help, this attack might have been beaten by Flashing Star.

Obviously, this was Zhang Qinghuan's response to his words.

Rubbish...you fucking shit!

※※※

Yuan Yue was focused on seeking revenge from Zhang Qinghuan, but when Shanxing launched an attack again, he found that Zhang Qinghuan did not stay in the middle, but went to the side.

As a gate in the middle of the midfield in front of the back line, he naturally couldn't be pulled to the wing casually, so wouldn't the middle door be wide open in front of the back line?

Although he really wanted to teach Zhang Qinghuan this trash, but he could only spit in that direction: "Tch, sissy coward! Don't run away if you have the ability!"

Zhang Qinghuan went to the side road, of course not to hide from Yuan Yue, his position is very flexible, he can go wherever he needs.

As the team's midfield organizer, no matter how much other teammates don't like him, they will still pass the football to him. After all, this is the request of the head coach Zhao Kangming.

After Zhang Qinghuan received a pass from his teammate on the wing, he first pretended to cut inside, feinted a shot, then used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football to the outside line, and rushed forward with the ball.

However, his set of actions failed to deceive the defenders. Seeing that the football was thrown out by him and temporarily out of his control, the opponent stepped forward to tackle it.

Zhang Qinghuan saw such a fierce tackle from him, so he quickly jumped up to avoid it, and the football was naturally tackled off the sideline by the opponent.

※※※

Qin Lin in front of the TV shook his head. Ever since Zhang Qinghuan took the ball for the first time, he always felt a little strange that Zhang Qinghuan's performance was not quite right.

Now he finally understood what was wrong.

Zhang Qinghuan's explosive power was gone.

Zhang Qinghuan, who used to compete with him in the game, has a good breakthrough ability. In addition to his technical advantages, his explosive power is also the main reason for his good breakthrough.

Throwing the football out, and then relying on explosive power to suddenly accelerate and throw off the opponent, this kind of kicking style is not uncommon in Zhang Qinghuan before.

But it failed in today's game.

The reason, Qin Lin thought, might have a lot to do with his self-indulgence in the past few years.

Football is a body-based sport, and physical fitness needs to be maintained through day-to-day training.

Those professional players can get fat in just one month's vacation, not to mention that Zhang Qinghuan's serious training days in the past three years are only a handful.

Athletes train very hard and require great willpower to persevere. They also have high requirements for diet. That kind of restriction is really not something ordinary people can endure for a long time. That's why everyone often sees athletes quickly become fat as soon as they retire. This is because they don't have to keep training, and they don't have to work hard. They can eat and drink freely without restraint. It's just like retaliatory consumption. This is retaliatory Diet, can the body not deform?

The vast majority of professional football players, even if they insist on training every day, their physical fitness will inevitably decline with age. This is a normal natural law. In Chinese football, the professionalism in all aspects is not as deep-rooted as the concept of European football, so this situation is more obvious and serious. For example, when you are young, you can still play forwards, but when you are older, you will play more and more behind. , and finally became a defender. This is a helpless move due to the decline in physical fitness and the loss of explosive power.

Playing forward requires high physical fitness, especially speed and explosive power. Playing as a defender has higher requirements for experience. Older players are not physically fit, but they have rich experience. They can still find their place in the back line and continue to make a living in professional football.

Of course, the above examples are long-term, slow physical changes, not a big problem.

But Zhang Qinghuan's situation is different from them. The long-term slack caused his physical fitness to decline ahead of schedule. And because he hasn't retired yet, he still trains with the team, even if he doesn't take it seriously, but at least he has practiced, so this decline is not very sudden and obvious.

In the past six months, he has hardly played a game. Now that he suddenly has the opportunity to play, the decline in physical fitness is finally reflected.

Qin Lin sighed inwardly.

Back then, the boy with black hair fluttering as if dancing in the wind when he ran on the field finally couldn't come back...

※※※

Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at each other again, and they also saw that something was wrong with Zhang Qinghuan.

And also had similar guesses as Qin Lin.

"It's all changed, it depends on how he kicks... It's not that if you can't break through, you can't kick." Chen Mo comforted Zhao Kangming, or he was comforting himself.

Zhang Qinghuan is not positioned as a winger who dribbles and breaks through...

He is an attacking midfielder, and his breakthrough ability just makes him even more powerful, but if he doesn't, it's not a big deal.

The key is whether Zhang Qinghuan himself is aware of the changes in his body?

Both Shining Star's head coach and assistant coach set their sights on Shining Star No. 10 on the field.

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan realized this problem.

After failing to accelerate the breakthrough twice in a row, he knew that this was definitely not just a simple "chance".

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it can be explained by "accidental phenomena", but how could he not feel the changes in his own body?

When he kicked his legs and wanted to exert strength, he felt that his body was a little out of control.

He obviously kicked the ground hard, but his speed couldn't increase.

It's like... It's as if when driving, the accelerator pedal is pressed to the bottom, and the roar of the engine can be heard from the engine compartment. The sound is quite loud, but when I look out the window, the speed of the car can't be picked up. .

The engine speed increased by five or six thousand, and the speed was still slowly increasing from one kilometer per hour.

What went wrong?

Zhang Qinghuan actually knew the answer very well in his heart, but he was a little unwilling to admit it.

Playing and singing every night for the past three years, indulging in joy, has emptied his body.

When he was dealing with errands on the training ground, lingering in nightclubs, and venting his energy on women, he never thought that one day, his body would not be able to support a high-intensity official game...

He always thought that with his talent and talent, as long as he was a little more serious and practiced for a few days, he would be able to sweep his opponents in the game and win everyone's cheers and praises time and time again.

Isn't that what football is about? The winner is king. As long as I can win, as long as I perform well, all the previous problems are not a problem.

As long as I behave well...

Then what the hell will happen if I behave badly?

Zhang Qinghuan panicked when he thought about what his life would be like if he couldn't perform well again.

Brother Xu also asked me to show a good performance and fight for me to go to the Chinese Super League team next season...

No, I can't just throw in the towel!

Calm down, Zhang Qinghuan, calm down... I'm not a player who only relies on speed, I'm a fucking attacking midfielder, I'm a fucking playmaker!

pass the ball!

Use the pass to tear apart the opponent's defense and create opportunities for teammates...

Yes, this is the way I play football.

So what if the explosive power is gone, I am still Zhang Qinghuan, the young master, that..."Francis of China"!

When the title reappeared in Zhang Qinghuan's mind, he was taken aback for a moment.

Another name that feels so far away...
