[Ding! Discovered new stadium, Planmore Stadium. Obtained 600 Dream Points!】
Against amateurs, Xuan found that his cheat was still very useful.
There was no absolute power suppression between the two sides. Even if they were slightly at a disadvantage, they could still launch a partial attack.
As long as his positioning was good enough, Xuan would have enough chances to shoot.
Basically, three or four shots were enough to score. Sometimes, the first kick could also score.
That was why Xuan hadn't been tested.
Until this FA Cup qualifier!
The strongest team from the fifth-tier English Parliament, Torquay United, had already touched the threshold of the professional league.
Their tactical arrangements and the execution ability of their players were beginning to take shape.
The reason why the amateur league was considered amateur was because the coach's tactics were not comprehensive and detailed.
The players also played more loosely.
And Torquay United's tactics had been refined to how each player moved and how to suppress their weaknesses.
Their current strategy was to cut off the connection between the three lines and let the two strongest strikers lose their ammunition support.
In the face of dense defense, they used ball possession tactics to not give their opponents a chance to intercept the ball and counterattack.
This kind of strategy was more conservative. If they only controlled the ball and did not pass the threatening ball, they would also lose the opportunity to threaten.
But Tuo Kuilian had his own reasons.
I'm at level five, so we have an absolute advantage in terms of physical fitness.
And you can't break my defense.
As long as they dragged it out until the 75th minute, the amateur team's stamina would drop and they would naturally collapse.
When the time came, he could casually pass and cut, and it would be easy to break through.
This was the confidence of a semi-professional team!
Xuan felt enough pressure.
At the most dangerous time, the wind was blowing in front of the goal. Even he had to go back and participate in the defense. Otherwise, he would have conceded the goal before he could score.
Fortunately, the morale of Stokes Bridge had been high recently, and everyone was united. They blocked the eye-catching and finally held the first half.
The head coach, Steve Adams, only encouraged the players and did not make any adjustments.
With the difference in strength, they had already done their best not to concede a goal. There was no way to adjust.
He only hoped that he could ensure that he did not concede a goal in the second half and then think of a way to counterattack and steal one.
Unfortunately, the situation in the second half was still the same. It was still the opponent's half-court siege.
Xuan didn't get a chance to catch the ball!
It was already 65 minutes. Xuan found that his teammates 'stamina was gradually declining.
The right back couldn't run for the ball just now and was overtaken by the opponent into the penalty area!
The situation instantly became very dangerous!
If Xuan hadn't chased back desperately and blocked in front of his opponent.
Perhaps the ball had already been lost!
His black brother, the right-back, patted Xuan's shoulder to express his gratitude.
This was a life-saving!
However, Xuan didn't feel relaxed from defending against this attack.
As his teammates 'stamina decreased, similar situations would continue to occur until they completely collapsed!
He had to take the initiative to make some changes.
However, what could a single person do when the overall strategy was suppressed?
Xuan had tried to find some 'black technology' from the cheat interface to help him solve his problems.
The reality was that his cheat hadn't changed at all, and it probably wouldn't change until he reached a professional team.
In times of crisis, the most reliable person was only himself…
and his teammates!
Xuan looked at Waldi.
He seemed to be very anxious, trying to find a solution.
Xuan calculated in his heart, then took advantage of a dead ball to go up and find Valdi.
"Jimmy, did you notice that the opposing center-back number five couldn't help but stop and take two steps before passing the ball?”
"Yes, yes, that's right. I wanted to snatch it from him just now, but I was fooled by his feint.”
Valdi also noticed this.
The opponent's number 5 center back was actually a relatively trendy center back!
He stood out among the typical English centre-backs.
The center back who was sending the ball out meant that he was very confident in his footwork.
However, under certain circumstances, it also meant conceitedness!
Did he think that he could play around against amateur teams?
Xuan planned to teach him a lesson!
"Later, we
…"
The opponent did not notice the whispers of the two strikers.
Even if they did, they wouldn't care.
Tuo Kuilian was fighting on their home ground, and their strength was suppressed. The scales were already tilting, and victory was in their grasp!
In order to consume more of Stokes Bridge's stamina, Toque United tried to retreat slightly and control the ball behind the center line.
This way, it would exhaust the opponent's stamina even more and tire them out.
Then, Tuo Kuilian found an opportunity to reveal his true intentions and slit his throat with his sword!
After discovering that the number of backkicks from the defenders was increasing, Xuan and Waldi looked at each other and prepared to move!
They did not alert the enemy and instead forced each of them to snatch a center back like before.
With his footwork skills, the number 5 center back once again knocked over Valdi and passed a threatening ball forward.
Xuan and Waldy were patient, continuing to look for opportunities.
Finally, the perfect opportunity had arrived!
The other side reversed his leg and came to the backfield again! The defensive midfielder turned his back and passed the ball to the number 5 center back, intending to repeat the same trick.
Unexpectedly, Vardi suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the number 5 center back!
No. 5 was shocked, but he did not panic. He ran two steps toward the ball. He was prepared to receive the ball in advance and pass Valdi before sending out the key ball.
When the time came, his performance would definitely impress the manager!
While 05 was still dreaming, he didn't realize that Xuan had already circled behind him and quietly surrounded him.
I'm sorry, but there's a price to pay for underestimating your opponent!
