Chapter 16 Tactical Adjustment

In the end what happened?

The game has just started! How did the Chinese team complete the goal? Wales' goal was broken?

Many commentators did not respond. Most of them were still introducing the starters of both sides, and they praised the Welsh lineup, believing that the Welsh victory was not a problem.

The next moment, they were slapped fiercely!

Wales was scored!

It's only been two minutes since the game started!

The Welsh fans were even more unacceptable. They thought about it for a long time before finding a reason for their feet. "Anything can happen on the field, it is normal for weak teams to score goals, and Wang Qiuming is a very good player. If you play a good goal, you will naturally score the ball.”

But no matter how you think about it, it cannot change the fact that the Chinese team scored goals.

Welsh's strength is indeed very good. Everyone knows this, and Wansheng is no exception. In terms of the overall lineup, the Chinese team is still worse than Wales. Compared with the top stars, Wales also has Bell, worse than Wang Qiuming. It is not much different. The overall strength of the two teams is definitely stronger than Wales.

But the official game does not depend on the strength and lineup. The performance of the team and the tactical arrangement are also very important. In terms of performance, both teams are high-spirited. In the strength of the World Cup, no team will make huge mistakes, especially when it reaches ten In the semi-finals stage, Wales cannot underestimate their opponents.

So the problem lies in the tactical arrangement.

Perhaps the Chinese team left a deep impression on other teams in the group stage. Wales firmly believed that the Chinese team would defend patiently, while Wansheng did the opposite. At the beginning of the game, he let the team stand on the sidelines. The aggressive attack is to hope that the team can quickly lead the score.

After the lead?

It must be returning to solid defense and playing defensive counterattacks with the advantage of the score.

If such a tactical conception can be successful, we must rely on the goal of scoring in the opening game. If the goal is not quickly scored, Wansheng is also prepared. After ten minutes of the game, he explained that the team must retreat to the defense. The same goes for goals, everything is decided in the second half.

The format of the game is uncertain, and the tactics are naturally not fixed.

This is Wansheng's strategy for formulating tactics. It is uncertain about a tactic and chooses it according to the situation of the game. Fortunately, the game is very beneficial to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team scored in only two minutes.

Wan Sheng was a little surprised when he saw the football flying into the Welsh goal, mainly because the surprise came too quickly, and he was a little flustered and didn't know how to deal with it.

two minutes?

Is it too early to fall back on defense?

But this is how tactics are formulated. Players on the court know how to play, and rash adjustments may be counterproductive.

Wan Sheng just watched from the sidelines, and did not go to command.

So after the game restarted, when Wales thought that the Chinese team was still continuing to attack, they found that the opponent's formation was very far behind, and a posture of defending the goal.

This……

The Welsh players didn't know how to play, and the opponent was obviously uneasy about playing cards.

The most depressing person at this time was Welsh coach Coleman. He vowed before the game that he would play tougher than the Chinese team. As a result, the toughness has not been shown so far. Wales fell behind in advance, and then when Wales was about to launch an attack At that time, they found that they were facing an iron wall.

Can the Chinese team balance both defense and offense?

Of course not.

Coleman soon discovered that the Chinese team had no intention of launching a large-scale attack at all. The attack that scored the goal just now seemed to be a sudden sneak attack, not a specific tactic.

He can only understand so.

Welsh players also understand it this way. There are players who can read the game, but they would not have thought that the Chinese team would think of "early goals" before the game. There is only one first half, so it is impossible to use two tactics, right?

"Be careful they attack again!"

Many players conveyed the same meaning, so Wales has been pressing in the backcourt to prevent the Chinese team from 'sneak attack' again at any time.

After a long period of time in the game, they found that the Chinese team did not send a few players forward even when advancing forward, and almost only relied on quick counterattacks to find opportunities.

So when Wales attacked, their backcourt didn’t keep up, and it didn’t matter if they didn’t keep up. Every attack was a bit anticlimactic, and the front and back were out of touch, resulting in frequent mistakes. The Chinese team seized the opportunity and played Several waves of threats to counterattack.

It was the 30th minute of the game, which was a critical time point. Both sides had already entered the state, and the game was at its most intense.

The TV commentator summed up the past games, "In the past 30 minutes, Wales had 107 passes, 4 shots, and one shot on target. The ball possession rate reached 61%. The ball rate was only 39 percent, but there were 6 shots, 4 on target and 1 goal."

"From the data point of view, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage in terms of ball possession, but their offensive efficiency is much higher!"

"Before the game, many people thought that Wales was stronger and had more advantages, but now it seems that their advantage is only in possession of the ball, and their efficiency will be much worse, perhaps because the Chinese team has put more energy into defense, Possession is low, but they are much more efficient!"

Even Wales head coach Coleman has begun to worry about his goal. The overall situation of the game is in Wales' hands, and football is under Wales' control most of the time. Facing the intensive defense of the Chinese team, what they can do There are not many ways to do it. He hopes that Bell can personally impact the Chinese team’s defense, but it turns out that the accumulation of numbers is also very effective for the defense of the stars. Bell failed to find a chance with the ball several times, and was also stolen twice. It was to take the opportunity to seek a counterattack. Just one Wang Qiuming brought a huge threat to the Welsh goal.

"We must keep this point of Wang Qiuming!"

Coleman found something.

The Chinese team's offense is very dependent on Wang Qiuming, and most of the counterattacks are also initiated by Wang Qiuming's points. Compared with other players, their strength is much worse, and their positions are also very backward, so there is no chance at all.

"Pay attention to Wang Qiuming." Coleman called the players on the court and exhorted, "Others don't care, we have to step up our offensive."

This style of play is to stick to the opponent's core players, give up the blockade of others appropriately, and then concentrate on the offensive.

With Coleman's command, Wales let go of his hands and feet and his performance became much better. In the next ten minutes, they threatened the Chinese team's goal twice, and in defense, Wang Qiuming also encountered trouble. He was always by his side. With two opposing players following, even if he returns to the backcourt, the opposing player will be very targeted and will not give him a chance to get the ball at all.

Wan Sheng saw Wang Qiuming's situation, but the first half was about to end, and it was too late to make adjustments, and everything had to wait until the second half.

So he began to pay serious attention to defense.

If you want to win, good defense is the key. If Wales tie the game, then there will be no advantage in the second half, and it will not be so easy to win by then.

Fortunately, the Chinese team withstood the pressure and finally dragged the time to the end of the first half.

When the referee signaled the end of the first half, many Chinese players let out a long sigh of relief. The feeling of defending half-court in a row was not very good. Especially in the back, Wales was very aggressive and they seemed to lose the ball at any time.

Better than Wales is that the Chinese team is the leading party.

In the game, the Chinese team felt a lot of pressure, but as soon as the first half ended, they were much easier than Wales.

Soon the players all entered the locker room to rest.

Wan Sheng came back first. He watched players walk in with a serious expression on his face. Although the team was in the lead, the game that followed was also very difficult. When the opponent restrained Wang Qiuming, the team The counterattack became a problem, and it also led to a lot more pressure on the defense.

It's definitely not going to continue like this in the second half.

Wansheng has no confidence that the team can defend the whole game. Wales is not short of cooperation and stars. Similarly, they are also very tough in the game. In the face of such a team, the team must not be able to defend alone.

To call out!

In fact, Wansheng had already made up his mind when the game got to the end. It was actually a good opportunity for the opponent to defend against Wang Qiuming, because he never thought that he would rely entirely on Wang Qiuming to win.

Wang Qiuming is a trump card, but it doesn't work all the time. Now is the time to let others play.

After all the players returned to the locker room, Wan Sheng began to talk about how the second half was played, and everyone was listening carefully.

The way Wan Sheng said was to compete with Wales for the initiative in the midfield, pulling the opponent's energy into the midfield, and not allowing the opponent to attack his own hinterland at will.

Then it's up to the midfielders.

"Du Mingyang, Wu Lei." Wan Sheng named the two players, "You must pay attention to your position at all times. You can't be too far forward or too far behind. Take Zhang Xiu as the benchmark."

This is Wansheng's strategy.

It is very difficult for players in the Chinese Super League, or lower leagues, to have a strong ability to read the game. They cannot adapt quickly and can only find a 'benchmark' player.

In terms of strength, Zhang Xiuwei is not outstanding, but he is a defensive midfielder and spends most of the time in front of the central defender. As long as Zhang Xiuwei is optimistic and the three of them form a triangle position, there will definitely not be too many problems. .

This has always been Wansheng’s tactical concept. During training on weekdays, the three midfielders have been constantly cooperating, but until now, the team has not really practiced tactics. The players are on the move.

"We don't need to attack too far forward, just move the formation forward and give them a feeling that we want to play against each other, but we still have to pay attention to the defense at all times, we have to involve their energy in the midfield, so that we can Defend well, otherwise it will be difficult for us to defend for 90 minutes just relying on the accumulation of numbers."

The front formation also means that the attack will increase. Wansheng also plans to do the same. In football games, offense is the best defense. Now the team has to change its strategy, otherwise Wales will attack without any scruples and threaten the goal. It's too big.

After talking about the tactics, the players digested it for a while, and the time was almost up.

The players of both teams are back on the playing field.

As the referee blew his whistle, the second half of the game began with the cheers of fans in the auditorium.
