Chapter 1,173 Key Figures

Although the situation is not favorable for Jordan, Jordanian head coach Adnan has no intention of making substitutions or changing his style of play.

In Adnan's view, the current starting lineup and tactics are correct. Two goals and a leading score are the best proof. Since it is correct, there is no need to make changes until the situation is reversed, not to mention Adnan. Denan also believed that his disciples could seize the opportunity to counterattack and beat the Chinese team again, completely changing the situation of the battle.

Although the situation of the Chinese team is favorable, time is not on their side. They must score goals quickly to change the overall unfavorable situation.

In terms of scoring ability, Gao Xiaodong is undoubtedly the strongest among the 22 players on the field. The players of the Chinese team were anxious and went to Gao Xiaodong when they got the ball, allowing Gao Xiaodong to shoot directly and break through.

His teammates passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, which showed their trust in Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong was very happy, but also a little worried, because if the pass was too deliberate, the Jordanian team would definitely attack him. If his teammates could not respond well, If so, he wouldn't be able to challenge an opponent's team by himself.

Sure enough, the players of the Chinese team kept passing the ball to Gao Xiaodong, which aroused the vigilance of the Jordan team. The Jordan team was rich in experience. They originally defended Gao Xiaodong very tightly. Now they not only surrounded Gao Xiaodong, but also started to cut off the Chinese players. Passing line to Gao Xiaodong, isolating Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong has the ability to make a strong breakthrough, but when faced with the opponent's multi-person defense, the success rate of a strong breakthrough is definitely not high. Once intercepted by the opponent, Gao Xiaodong may not have time to return to defense, so Gao Xiaodong cannot accept a low success rate. Breakthrough, the current Chinese team is more afraid of conceding the ball than the Jordan team.

Of course, Gao Xiaodong would not let Jordan's defensive tactics succeed. He constantly directed his teammates to move, connect with him, and destroy the opponent's double-teaming on him.

The cooperation between the other players of the Huaguo team is pretty good. The coach is new and they have played and trained together for a long time. However, they have little cooperation with Gao Xiaodong, and the timing and location of their movements are inconsistent. Well, Gao Xiaodong either couldn't pass the ball out, or he couldn't find anyone after passing it out. The effect was not good at all. Jordan did seize the opportunity and hit a few quick counterattacks.

In the end, Gao Xiaodong was helpless, because he knew that running without the ball was a skill that required a lot of intelligence and could not be learned just by saying a few words. Instead of expecting his teammates to suddenly become enlightened, he might as well just do it alone.

In the 60th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong received the ball in the middle. Jordan immediately came to double-team him from three sides. On the remaining side, Jordan players ran towards Gao Xiaodong's passing line.

Gao Xiaodong "saw" this situation clearly, but he deliberately turned around to confuse his opponent. When the opponent's defensive player approached Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong suddenly turned around and attacked from the side.

Gao Xiaodong walked into the space between the two defensive players.

Jordan's defensive players quickly surrounded Gao Xiaodong, trying to lock Gao Xiaodong in, but Gao Xiaodong's attack speed was extremely fast. Before the Jordan team's defensive players arrived, Gao Xiaodong had already broken through the encirclement and came behind the defensive players. .

Breaking through the opponent's encirclement from one side, Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate to get behind the defender in the middle, threatening Jordan's penalty area from the front.

Gao Xiaodong's frontal dribbling and side dribbling pose a completely different threat to Jordan. Seeing Gao Xiaodong break through the siege and go straight to the center of his penalty area, although it was just past half-time, the Jordanian players were already terrified. Two The center back came forward, and a full midfielder and two full backs also quickly moved closer to the center, lest Gao Xiaodong drive the ball directly to Huanglong alone.

Although Gao Xiaodong's breakthrough just now was very beautiful, the fans of the Chinese team only applauded and did not think that Gao Xiaodong's dribbling could create much of a threat because Jordan's entire defensive system was behind. And Gao Xiaodong was too far away from the penalty area.

Seeing the Jordan team being so intimidated, the players and fans of the Chinese team were very amused and felt that they were simply scared out of their wits by Gao Xiaodong.

Regardless of whether Jordan was frightened or cautious, the second line of defense they quickly formed brought great difficulties to Gao Xiaodong's breakthrough with the ball, and the two Jordanian central defenders also caused Yu Debao to go offside. Gao Xiaodong was unable to form a cooperation with Yu Debao.

The Jordanian team's defense against Gao Xiaodong was not lax, but Gao Xiaodong had "eyes" behind his back. When dribbling the ball forward, Gao Xiaodong still "saw" his teammate Zheng Hua coming in to support him.

Gao Xiaodong was overjoyed. He knocked the ball to the side with his heel, and then quickly moved sideways to get behind the two central defenders who were pressing up.

This coordination requires good tacit understanding from teammates, and also requires teammates to have good awareness and excellent footwork. If any of these three points is missing, this coordination will not be possible.

In the Chinese national team, there are very few players who can do the above three points, but Zheng Hua, who catches the ball, is exactly one of them.

Zheng Hua's move to the wing was caused by Gao Xiaodong's position change in the first half. Zheng Hua's technical awareness is second only to Gao Xiaodong in the Chinese national team, but his shortcomings are obvious, and his speed is average.

Speed ​​is the most important thing when playing as a winger. Without speed, consciousness, technique, and body cannot be used. Therefore, Zheng Hua actually did not use his full strength on the wing.

Although Camacho has just taken over the Chinese national team, with his ability, he cannot see this shortcoming. It is just because this is the result of Gao Xiaodong and Zheng Hua changing positions, so Camacho will not be there until Zheng Hua has no problems. It will change Zheng Hua's position.

However, it was precisely because Zheng Hua had no speed that after he caught the ball, the front was empty. He did not have the consciousness to dribble the ball forward towards the baseline, but immediately chose to pass the ball behind the defender.

Diagonal pass! The timing is right! Gao Xiaodong's speed advantage was fully utilized.

Gao Xiaodong already had initial speed before passing the ball. After he picked up the speed, no one could stop him when he went straight.

Gao Xiaodong was like a strong wind passing between the Jordanian center backs. The two Jordanian center backs reached out to grab Gao Xiaodong but could not touch the corner of Gao Xiaodong's clothes, allowing Gao Xiaodong to speed past between them.

Jordan goalkeeper Shafi seemed to have realized that his defender could not stop Gao Xiaodong. He rushed out of the penalty area when Zheng Hua passed the ball, preparing to clear the ball before Gao Xiaodong got it, but Gao Xiaodong was extremely fast. It is very difficult for Shafei to grab the ball before Gao Xiaodong.

Now is the most dangerous moment for the Jordan team, and it is also the time when the Chinese team has the best chance, but the key lies in another person, and that person is Yu Debao who is in an offside position.

If Yu Debao goes to get the ball at this time, then the wonderful cooperation of the Chinese team will fail, and the linesman will definitely blow the whistle. If Yu Debao stands still, according to the rules, this cooperation will not be offside.
