Chapter 275 Skills Are Not as Good as Others

On the evening of March 25, Tianjin.

After a few days of intensive training, the Chinese national team ushered in the second group match of the quarter-finals.

Sitting at home against another strong team in this group, Japan.

Due to the 1-0 victory over Iran in the previous away game and Japan's 2-1 victory over North Korea at home, if the Chinese team can win Japan at home in this game, it will undoubtedly have an advantage in the group.

Because of this, regardless of China or Japan, this game is very cautious.

Especially considering the previous Asian Cup final, Japan was beaten 3-0 by China.

After the run-in of the Asian Cup, Alihan formed a four-three-three formation in this game, and the young tridents of Yan Song, Yang Yang and Chen Tao were discharged in the frontcourt, which was also a very bold attempt.

Yang Yang is only 18 years old, Chen Tao has just turned 20, and Yan Song is only 24 years old. The Trident in the frontcourt can be regarded as the youngest offensive team in China's history. Many veterans including Li Jinyu, Li Yi and Hao Dong. The international is either not selected for the training list, or sits on the bench.

In this regard, Alihan said that he is vigorously promoting the renewal of the Chinese national team, because considering that the World Cup is next year, many international players are obviously no longer suitable to stay in the team.

If it is surprising that the frontcourt boldly uses new players, then the back line basically remains unchanged.

Sun Xiang on the left, Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng in the middle, Wei Xin on the right, and Liu Yunfei as the goalkeeper.

Alihan obviously thinks that the Chinese team's defensive line makes him very satisfied, and does not plan to adjust it.

In terms of midfield, the third midfielder was used in the last round against Iran. Although conservative, it did play a role, but this time Alihan gave up the three midfielder and switched to Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe and Zhou Haibin. combination.

Among them, Shao Jiayi is in the front, Zhao Junzhe and Zhou Haibin form a double midfielder.

From the point of view of the formation of troops, Alihan has been trying the Chinese team's midfield attack after stabilizing the back line.

In terms of tactics, Alihan is indeed cautious, but it does not mean that he is conservative on the field.

…………

…………

At the beginning of the game, both sides were actively testing.

In the first ten minutes, both teams were in the run-in and try-out stage.

The first threatening attack in the game was in the twelfth minute. The Japanese team Nakata Hideo gave a pass-like ball from the right front of the penalty area, but goalkeeper Liu Yunfei made a decisive attack and blocked the ball.

Just one minute later, Shunsuke Nakamura, who played for Serie A Reggina, dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough and was knocked down by Zhou Haibin. The referee immediately gave Zhou Haibin a yellow card, which was also the first yellow card of the game.

After being continuously attacked by the Japanese team, the Chinese team quickly created a chance to counterattack.

Yang Yang counterattacked quickly, inserted into the left side of the Japanese team and received a pass from his teammates, then crossed to the front of the penalty area. Shao Jiayi followed with a strong volley, but unfortunately, it turned into an anti-aircraft gun.

This is also the first shot of the Chinese team in this game.

Subsequently, the Chinese team frequently created opportunities after stabilizing its position.

Zhou Haibin's oblique pass, Yang Yang quickly pulled to the right to get the ball. Facing the two defenders of the Japanese team, Yang Yang suddenly started, dribbling the ball through the two of them, cutting inward to the front of the penalty area, and pumping his left foot vigorously. shoot.

This shot is very similar to the world wave against Alkmaar before, but the distance is much closer, the quality is also good, the ball is suppressed, but it is still slightly higher than the crossbar.

Although this shot failed to create a score, it still caused the Japanese team to break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone is also clearly aware that Yang Yang's personal ability is still very advantageous when facing Japanese players.

He is a star who can take the lead in Ajax, and is a rookie that most of the European giants are flocking to.

After tasting the sweetness, Yang Yang also began to be more active and take the ball more actively.

Three minutes later, Yang Yang voluntarily retreated from the front court and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The position where he took the ball happened to be in the space between the midfield and the back line of the Japanese team. This position made the Japanese players very uncomfortable. Yang Yang took the ball and turned around.

After speeding up, the Japanese team couldn't stop it if they wanted to, so they could only foul.

To this end, the referee gave the Japanese team a yellow card to defender Miyamoto Hengjing, and at the same time gave the Chinese team a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt.

…………

…………

Yang Yang grabbed Shao Jiayi's hand and got up from the grass.

Miyamoto Hengjing is still very strong. This time the foul is very decisive and straightforward. The position is a bit far, and it is on the left side. Direct free kicks are impossible.

"How do you fight this time?" Shao Jia asked with embarrassment.

The ball in this position is really not very easy to handle.

"Let's cooperate, I am in ambush outside the penalty area." Yang Yang suggested.

Shao Jia thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

After Yang Yang stood up, he did not rush to the penalty area for the first time, but stood not far from the penalty spot.

This made the Japanese defenders a little worried, for fear that this would be a quick free kick cooperation, and immediately separated two defenders, one left and one right followed Yang Yang.

One-on-one defense, they are still not assured enough.

Yang Yang didn't care either and walked slowly.

Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi and others all entered the restricted area one after another, obviously they all knew the plan for a long time.

With the referee's whistle, Shao Jiayi quickly took a free kick.

Everyone on the court immediately started running.

Yang Yang first made a gesture to come over to meet Shao Jiayi, so frightened the Japanese defenders ran after him, but suddenly made an emergency stop and turned to rush towards the front of the penalty area.

The ball crossed an arc and fell to the Japanese team's penalty area.

Li Weifeng grabbed his position in the penalty area, Miyamoto Hengjing stubbornly blocked between him and the goal, but the big head did not intend to head the goal, but headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Yang Yang rushed over quickly. Facing the incoming ball, and before the Japanese defender, Yang Yang stopped the ball with his right foot to the right, just avoiding the Japanese player's defense, and then caught up, standing with his left foot. After settling, swing your right foot and hit directly!

"Yang Yang!!!!"

"The ball is in!!!!"

"In the 23rd minute, Yang Yang scored the Chinese team's first goal of the game!"

"This was a set-piece cooperation between players. Shao Jia made a free set-piece. Li Weifeng headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. After Yang Yang stopped the ball and passed the Japanese defender, he hit the goal with his right foot."

"This shot in the top area of ​​the arc was very exciting. The football went directly into the Japanese team's goal, 1-0!"

After scoring the goal, Yang Yang rushed out of the stadium excitedly, waving his arms along the way, indicating that the fans at the scene should be more excited and give the home team more applause and cheers.

All the Chinese fans at the scene burst into thunderous applause, and everyone was shouting Yang Yang in unison.

"After the start of the first half, the Japanese team did create more chances, but the Chinese team calmly seized the best chance. With his personal ability, Yang Yang created a set-piece in the frontcourt and also scored by himself. ."

"This is his second shot of the game, and he scored a goal unexpectedly. He has been in such a good state recently!"

…………

…………

The game restarts.

The Japanese team was one goal behind and began to organize and launch the offensive non-stop.

Japanese internationals such as Nakata Hideo, Ono Shinji, Nakamura Shunsuke frequently made threats.

Especially in the thirty-third minute, Shinji Ono's long shot from 30 meters away almost wiped the column out of bounds, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.

In the thirty-ninth minute, the Japanese team had a corner kick, and Nakata Hideto's header hit the side net and almost scored.

After changing sides in the second half, the Japanese team continued to maintain the advantage on the field and continued to attack the Chinese team.

In the first ten minutes or so, the Chinese team did not even have a chance to break into the 30-meter area of ​​Japan once, which shows how embarrassed the scene was.

But in the 61st minute, the Chinese team quickly fought back.

After Yang Yang received a pass from Zhou Haibin in the frontcourt, he blocked the Japanese central defender with his body, picked a pass from behind to the left, Yan Song quickly slanted in, and after catching the ball directly shot a cold shot, but slightly missed the goal.

But just when everyone thought that the Chinese team would carry the Japanese team's attack, in the 66th minute, Nakata Hideo made a cross from the left. The goalkeeper Liu Yunfei abandoned the goal and grabbed it with Li Weifeng. When he got the ball, he was picked up by Takashi Fushi of the Japanese team and scored a volley.

One to one!

This goal greatly affected the morale of the Chinese team.

It can also be said to confirm the various uneasiness of Alihan before the game, that is, the lack of player strength and technical tactics, resulting in the team's extremely low error tolerance rate in the game, once a mistake occurs, it is likely to be caught by the opponent. .

It can be said that the goal conceded just now has nothing to do with the coach's formation. It is entirely the result of the players being too nervous on the field. Both of them are eager to clear the siege, which leads to the lack of good communication and coordination between each other. caused conflict.

There is nothing anyone can do about this situation on the team.

To put it bluntly, it is not as good as others.

After the tragic goal, Yang Yang also kept comforting his teammates, calling on everyone to keep pushing.

…………

…………

After the restart, Yang Yang was more positive.

The Chinese team quickly got a free kick in the frontcourt and quickly passed to the penalty area through tactical cooperation.

Yang Yang got a chance at the back point, but missed a little when he kicked the door.

Later, when Shao Jiayi took the ball in the middle to attack, he was pushed down by Shinji Ono of the Japanese team, and the referee gave the Japanese midfielder a yellow card.

The free kick taken by Shao Jiayi failed to create a threat and was directly blocked by the goalkeeper.

After the tragic equalizer, the Chinese team began to make threats frequently, but it was always one step away from scoring.

Until the 77th minute, Yang Yang pulled to the right. When he received a pass from Zhou Haibin, he turned and cut inward with the ball, and then suddenly made a diagonal pass to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. Chen Tao quickly inserted along the right and chased the ball. And go.
