Chapter 181 Too Weak! [1900 Monthly Pass Plus Update, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]

When the Swedish striker Dahl Berry shook his head and pushed the ball into the empty goal, Yang Yang, who had retreated to his own half, shook his head helplessly, his face full of helplessness.

This was a corner kick, and the corner kick was caused by a quick counterattack from the Swedish midfielder, which sharply tore the Chinese team's defense line, and then the opponent formed a single-handed shot on the 15th, but the goalkeeper Guan Zhen made a brave attack and The ball saves the baseline.

It was Yang Yang's teammate in the second team of Ajax, Lars **** Degren, who came out with this wonderful through ball.

He played in central midfield for Ajax, but in midfield for the Swedish national team.

The reason why the Swedish team passed through balls so easily was due to the massive pressure of the National Youth Team.

Even when the opponent took the corner kick, the players of the National Youth Team were obviously a little slack. The goalkeeper Guan Zhen, who had just kept the goal without losing, made a fatal mistake and gave up the goal again. As a result, he slowed the opponent's forward by one shot and was directly taken by him. The opponent headed into the empty door.

Watching the players of the Swedish team rushed out of the court excitedly and kept celebrating the second goal of the Toulon Cup this year, Yang Yang kept taking a deep breath and trying to calm his mind.

It's only the 21st minute of the first half, and there's still a lot of time left.

But from the first minute of the game, he clearly felt the mental imbalance of his teammates.

Three consecutive victories in the group stage, scoring Colombia, a complete victory over Turkey, and a narrow victory over France, made his teammates a little slack, and the conflict before the game directly ignited the team's emotions.

At the beginning of the game, everyone wanted to eat Sweden in one go, as they did against Turkey.

The abacus of the National Youth Team is good, but Sweden is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. It can stand out in the cracks between the two strong teams of Brazil and Portugal. How can Sweden's defense be easy?

Yang Yang knows Lindgren very well. He is Ajax's central defender, but he plays in the midfield for the National Youth Team. It can be seen that Sweden's overall defensive strength is definitely strong among his peers.

Of course, this is only a youth team in their twenties. Compared with the first team, or even the Champions League-level team that Yang Yang has experienced, Sweden's defense still has many problems, not to mention Porto, the strongest defense in Europe. compared.

However, the players of the National Youth Team were overconfident on the one hand, and eager for success on the other hand. After the opening game, they played against Sweden for a while. Many players were full of confidence and wanted to perform. Only three minutes into the game, Liu Yu was on the flank. A series of beautiful, but failed.

Then Chen Tao made another scissor-foot pass from the front of the penalty area, which won applause, but also failed to create a threat.

The National Youth Team has shown a very strong signal from the very beginning: I want to score! I'm going to show off my skills! I want to humiliate Sweden severely, and at the same time let the fans watching the live broadcast in China see our strength!

This anxious and impetuous state of mind was particularly evident in the first twenty minutes.

But in the field, Yang Yang, who has experienced strong winds and waves, knows very well that this is very fatal.

Sweden's physical quality can be said to be a complete victory over the National Youth Team. When it comes to the skills of the feet, others are also superior.

You must know that the so-called foot technique is not at all to play a few fancy moves and a few beautiful passes, but to be able to open up attacking space on the court and be able to create threats.

Even the simplest, most basic, or even the ugliest moves, as long as you can create space, that's a skill.

Ibrahimovic has said that he can stop the ball with his butt.

Not to mention that the players of the National Youth Team are far less stable than their opponents in handling the ball. They attack too quickly, make too many mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, and a lot of technical details have not been handled properly. Many players cannot even make their own movements coherent. Connection, often after the previous action is completed, it is difficult to connect to the next action, and it takes time to adjust in the middle.

This will be covered up when encountering a team with a loose defense like Colombia, but when encountering a European team with strict tactics such as France and Sweden, it will be revealed immediately.

The technology is not dominant, the body is at a disadvantage, and the eagerness to press the attack directly causes the team to give up the defensive counterattack that it is best at, and choose the position that is the least good at attacking the tough battle.

This is a typical example of taking advantage of one's own weakness and attacking the enemy's strength.

At the same time, this is what Sweden most wants to see.

...

After a burst of irritability, Yang Yang patted his cheeks with both hands, using pain to force himself to calm down.

He is well aware that this is not the time to be held accountable or frustrated, the game is not over.

After seeing the teammates beside him being scored, they all looked a little stunned, and Yang Yang was shocked.

Blind self-confidence before conceding the goal, eager for success, overwhelmed and confidence collapsed after conceding the goal, this is a taboo in the game.

"Hey, cheer up!" Yang Yang shouted loudly, calling the surrounding teammates with both hands.

Everyone was a little at a loss, and after hearing Yang Yang's call, they all came closer.

"All sober, we only conceded one goal, we have to calm down, calm down, understand?"

Everyone nodded blankly, they all knew to be calm, but how to be calm?

How to deal with it?

Yang Yang knew that it would be impossible to continue like this. After thinking about it, he shouted and asked, "Do you still want to win?"

This question caused everyone present to look at him one after another, and there was a trace of sobriety in everyone's eyes.

"If you want to win, you have to listen to me." Yang Yang roared extremely confidently and resolutely.

"You said, what should we do?" Feng Xiaoting asked.

"Yeah, I'm one goal behind, what should I do?"

Yang Yang grabbed a teammate's shoulder with his left and right hands, "Don't think about anything, defend, first stabilize the defense, how the coach usually organizes the defense, we play how we play, everyone should concentrate on the defense first."

The coaching staff of Ajax once told Yang Yang that it is easy to score another goal ten minutes after the goal, either to equalize the score or to be scored by the opponent again.

With the current mentality of the National Youth Team, needless to say, it must have conceded another goal.

Yang Yang knows the overall strength of the team. If he loses a goal, he still has a chance of winning. The big deal is a one-to-one draw, overtime and a penalty shootout.

But if you lose two goals, it's really over.

He is only one person, but he is facing eleven opponents. Even if he really has wings, he can't fly.

What's more, he is not a superstar with super personal abilities like Ronaldinho.

"Defend the goal in the first half, as long as we don't concede, there is still hope in the second half."

Saying that, Yang Yang stretched out his right hand.

Feng Xiaoting, Hao Junmin, Chen Tao and many other players who played in the league in China quickly understood what Yang Yang meant. If you want to score goals blindly at this time, you will be looking for a dead end, holding on tight, and waiting for a chance to counterattack. It is the survival of the National Youth Team.

As a result, several people folded their hands on the back of Yang Yang's hand, and other players were also infected and followed suit.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!!"

As everyone shouted in unison, everyone returned to their respective positions.

At this time, Sweden also took a one-goal lead and returned to the field with the proud attitude of the winner.

…………

…………

After restarting the kickoff, the Swedish team's morale was like a rainbow, and they ate the Chinese team's posture in one breath.

Two minutes later, the Chinese team made another mistake in passing and receiving the ball from the middle. Lindgren sent the ball to the foot of Dal Berry in the frontcourt again. The latter quickly counterattacked and then scored the ball to his teammate. Dribbling the ball horizontally, the left foot suddenly hits the goal.

However, Feng Xiaoting's position was very good, blocking the opponent's shooting angle, causing the shot to miss.

However, the Swedish team did not give up and continued to increase their offensive efforts.

Four minutes later, the opponent's player No. 13 passed three players of the Chinese team on the right, but when he hit the goal with his left foot at the end, he hit the goal too well and was blocked by the goalkeeper Guan Zhen.

Not long after, the Swedish team made a long pass from the left. Yuan Weiwei blocked the ball from the bottom line while competing with the opponent. The Swedish team got another corner kick, which once again created a turbulent situation in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. Finally, he topped the ball himself. .

The continuous offensive made the Chinese team feel the pressure, and kept polishing the confidence of the players of the National Youth Team on the field.

It's not that the opponents are too strong, it's that they are too weak.

There are many factors in the three-game winning streak in the group stage, especially Yang Yang, who just returned from Ajax, performed too well.

Now, Yang Yang is closely guarded by the opponent, the Chinese team's offense immediately plummeted, and the team's true level was exposed.

Many players in the team were ashamed of their previous blind arrogance, especially a few players who made fancy moves in front of the Swedish defenders, even more ashamed.

People's movements are not fancy, but they are practical and stable. Each movement is closely linked to the next, so they can pass three people on the right. The players of the Chinese team even want to kick people and fouls. Can't find a chance.

He could only watch helplessly as the opponent dribbled the ball over, but he could do nothing.

This is the Sweden they looked down on before.

This is what many media call the Nordic power style of play, Sweden, which has a body but no skills.

Yang Yang is also very aware of the current situation. He also works very hard, keeps running, keeps looking for opportunities, actively engages in defense, and constantly encourages his teammates. I hope everyone can continue to work hard and not give up.

"As long as we keep this score, we still have a chance. We will never give up until the last moment."

Yang Yang encouraged his teammates with practical actions. One moment he was able to sprint in the frontcourt to receive the pass from his teammates, and the next moment he was able to catch up to the front of the penalty area to participate in defense.

He never knew how to encourage others, nor did he have the ability to boost the morale of the team with his genius performance. He could only use his own efforts and diligence to help the team and try his best to keep the last hope. .

With a clear conscience, that's what he's after.

The game went by little by little, and the youth team's game intensity was not great. After the Swedish team attacked for a while, the attack gradually slowed down.

This made the Chinese team breathe a sigh of relief, only Yang Yang kept reminding his teammates to be vigilant and not let up.

But after the game jumped into 40 minutes, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Zero to one, the National Youth Team is temporarily behind Sweden.
