Chapter 060: The Shadow-like Legs! (1)

Facing Charlton's tempo-delaying tactics, Dave had no good solution. He paced back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, trying to think of countermeasures. Wolverhampton has never been a strong team, and has almost no European experience. They are very unfamiliar with this rhythmic style of play and have never thought about how to deal with it. The passive situation now is the result of the experience gap.

If this fundamentally immature tactic is used against Manchester United and Chelsea, it will be almost ineffective, and it may even be worse than directly fighting them head-on. But for Wolverhampton, it just hit their soft spot.

While Charlton players were celebrating the goal, Dave immediately walked to the sidelines, called Kennedy, and warned him to stabilize the center line and not let Charlton launch another chance to attack. If they lost another goal, the rest of the game would be difficult. Although Wolverhampton had experienced a Jedi counterattack, he did not want the game to develop to that extent.

Kamara and Blake stood in the center circle. When the referee blew his whistle, the game started again. Kamara pushed the ball to Blake with his left foot and ran forward. Blake stepped on the ball with his right foot and knocked it with his heel, and the ball landed at Kennedy's feet.

Kennedy slowly moved forward with the ball, waving at Butler on the right, signaling him to slow down. After crossing the center line, Charlton striker Di Canio came to intercept, Kennedy stepped over the ball with his left foot, brushed the ball with his right foot, and then changed his body, and simply dodged him, and then immediately knocked the ball to Cameron who followed from the right.

Charlton striker Youl suddenly ran towards the ball quickly from the side, trying to steal it before Cameron got it, but Cameron would not lose the ball so easily. He fell to the ground and made a tackle, and the ball returned to Kennedy's feet. Youl ran too fast and jumped directly over Cameron. After touching the ground, his body was still a little unstable. He took a few steps forward and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Kennedy quickly pushed the ball to Wang Li on the left. After so many games, he trusted this black-haired boy very much. At least he would not lose the ball easily. After Wang Li got the ball, he did not rush to attack, but pushed the ball to Newton on the left. Charlton's defense is now very solid. They must use tactical coordination to contain their players and fight positional battles to find loopholes in order to create scoring opportunities.

After Newton got the ball, he pushed forward to the baseline. As a winger, the most basic offensive routine is to cross the ball from the bottom. Although this style of play is very old-fashioned, it is indeed very practical. The wing is not like the middle, and there are not many tactical changes. It is too close to the sideline, and it is difficult to play any exquisite cooperation. If you are not careful, the ball will roll out of the sideline. Parker was close to Newton, trying to disrupt his attack, but Newton suddenly stopped the ball when he was still 20 meters away from the baseline. This made Parker completely unable to react. Inertia made him rush forward several steps. Taking advantage of this time, Newton immediately made a low pass and pushed the ball to Wang Li again.

At this time, Wang Li was already at the front of the penalty area. The ball passed through the gap between two defenders and landed directly at Wang Li's feet. However, Charlton's defenders would never let him shoot so easily. The two defenders leaned directly on Wang Li, constantly interfering with his body, trying to grab the ball. Wang Li had no good solution. The two Charlton defenders were like a wall blocking behind him, and the goal was so small, how could he shoot? However, at this time, he caught a glimpse of a gap from the corner of his eye, and behind the gap there was a teammate in a red jersey. He pushed his body back hard, and with a knock of his heel, the ball passed between the legs of one of the defenders and landed directly at the feet of that teammate!

It was Kamara! But he seemed to be a little dazed, and he didn't react until the ball was about to reach him! But it was a little too late. He only had time to hastily touch the ball with his left foot, and the ball rolled towards the Charlton goal. However, this shot was really substandard and had no power at all. Charlton goalkeeper Kelly easily caught the ball.

Even so, this attack still made Charlton head coach Kubishley break out in a cold sweat. The whole process only took a few seconds. He just saw the ball at Wang Li's feet, being double-teamed by two people. In the blink of an eye, the ball was already at Kamara's feet. This sharp attack made Kubishley very grateful. Fortunately, he had carefully studied Wolverhampton's performance in recent games before the game. Otherwise, if he had directly fought against them, the result would never be like this.

Kamara came back to his senses, walked over and patted Wang Li on the shoulder, indicating that it was a good goal. He was Wolverhampton's substitute striker, and he had cooperated with Wang Li quite a lot in the team, but he didn't have many opportunities to play, so he didn't react at all just now. If it was Miller or Harrison, the ball would have definitely gone in. They all understood one thing, as long as Wang Li got the ball, he must keep his eyes on the ball no matter what, because it is very likely that the ball will be next to you the moment you look away, and then it will be too late to regret!

...…

After witnessing Wolverhampton's sharp attack, Charlton became more cautious. After the goalkeeper sent the ball out, they passed their feet back and forth, looking for a good opportunity to attack, but Wolverhampton would never give them a chance. This kind of leisurely pass was completely useless.

At this time, the game seemed to have returned to the scene at the beginning. The ball kept rolling in Charlton's backcourt. Among the Wolverhampton players, except for Kamara and Blake who were running helplessly in the frontcourt trying to steal the ball, everyone else stood helplessly in the backcourt. After receiving Kennedy's instructions, they would never leave their positions easily.

Seeing this, Wang Li frowned, and took advantage of Kamara's pause to quickly run to him, "Kamara, go and watch No. 19, be sure to watch him, don't let Charlton's players have the chance to pass the ball to him", and then he ran to Blake and asked him to watch No. 23 in Charlton's backcourt. Although they didn't know what this would do, the two nodded and followed Wang Li's instructions and ran to the designated players.

In the current Wolverhampton team, Wang Li's status is second only to the captain Kennedy, which has been recognized by all the players in the team. Before Wang Li was transferred to the first team, their league results were very poor, and there was a three-point gap with the second-to-last place. The road to relegation was full of ups and downs, but now, the team's results have improved significantly. Although the little guy Harrison has made some contributions, these players are not fools. It is clear at a glance who has a greater role on the court.

The fans in the audience saw that the two Wolverhampton players actually stopped next to Charlton's defenders, as if they were defending them. They were all talking in surprise, and then there was a burst of laughter. Two forwards actually went to defend the defender. This was too funny.

Dave, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also puzzled. Did he come up with some good idea to break Charlton's tactics? Or was he just going to steal the ball? Although he didn't understand what he was doing, Dave knew that the black-haired boy on the field definitely had his own ideas. He would never do this for no reason. Dave looked at Wang Li on the field with some interest. What would he do next?

PS: Just save it.
