June 28, Gogenwald Stadium, Utrecht.

World Youth Championship semi-finals, China vs. Brazil.

This is a focus battle that has attracted worldwide attention. The dark horse of the World Youth Championship will face the old and strong teams.

In the 23rd minute of the game, the Brazilian team got a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt. The midfielder with a height of 1.86 meters, the Brazilian team captain Renato scored the goal of the Chinese team with a header.

The sudden goal made the Chinese players on the field a little confused.

Goalkeeper Yang Cheng thumped the grass depressingly, and the midfielders and defenders who were in charge of man-marking were also remorseful.

The Brazilian players rushed out of the field in a swarm, running all the way to celebrate.

There were also many fans of the Brazilian team cheering wildly.

...

"It's still our defense that made a mistake!"

"This is a long-standing problem. It can almost be said that since the first game of this World Youth Championship, our defense line has been very worrying. Although there are also wonderful clean sheets for the German team, it will also appear in many cases. Unexpectedly lost the ball."

The national TV commentator was obviously puzzled by the sudden goal loss by the National Youth Team.

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Feng Xiaoting's task is to go forward, but our defender at the back missed a lot of people. This is a very unfortunate mistake. In such an important game, such a mistake is really called. It's a little hard for people to accept."

"But that's football."

"I hope the boys of our national youth team can quickly regain their confidence. Don't worry. There is still a lot of time in the game. The most important thing is to stabilize your position and not to mess yourself up."

...

The head coach Klauchen on the sidelines was also very depressed about the sudden goal loss.

Set-piece defense is what he has been focusing on all the time, but the result is still lost.

There are some things he really can't do.

Of course, he also believes that the players have done their best.

But for the cruel cup competition, the result is the greatest justice, and mistakes should be held responsible.

"It's okay, it's okay, all cheer up, we still have time, continue to stabilize the defense."

Krautchen's shouting from the sidelines was quickly translated into the stadium.

...

When the Brazilian team took a free kick, Yang Yang stayed in the frontcourt and waited for the opportunity to counterattack, but after seeing the Brazilian team score, he shook his head in disappointment.

This is really frustrating!

But Yang Yang quickly adjusted, especially after hearing Clausen's shouting from the sidelines, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and clapped loudly at his teammates.

"It doesn't matter, we still have an hour, take your time, don't rush."

Yang Yang quickly walked back to his own half.

"Reorganize the defense, Lao Feng, grab it, they will attack again soon."

After Feng Xiaoting listened, he nodded vigorously, and immediately called out several teammates in the back line, and told him again.

The ball has already been lost, so there must be no chaos at this time, and it is easy to lose the ball again.

Yang Yang specially appeased Zhao Xuri and Cui Peng, indicating that they should stabilize their positions.

"You must protect your defenses." Yang Yang said solemnly.

…………

…………

Although the quarter-finals of China and Brazil were played on the same day, the situation was completely different.

The Chinese team eliminated Spain in 90 minutes, while Brazil played a full 120 minutes.

There are two days of rest in the middle. Relatively speaking, the Chinese team still has a slight advantage.

In this game, Krautchen also changed his previous offensive style and adopted a four-four-two balance tactic instead.

Hao Junmin was arranged on the left in the midfield, Cui Peng and Zhao Xuri in the middle, Chen Tao on the right, Gao Lin and Yang Yang in the front, and Zhou Haibin was suspended.

It is not difficult to see from Clausen's lineup that the Chinese team should play more securely in this game.

From the beginning of the game, the Chinese team took the initiative to shrink the defense, withdrew all three lines to their own half, and deployed heavy troops in the middle and backcourt.

This is also something that can't be helped. After all, the Brazilian team's individual skills are indeed higher than the Chinese team.

In this case, the Chinese team can only have a chance by emphasizing the overall coordination and cooperation of the players.

In fact, the Brazilian team did not get a good chance in the more than 20 minutes after the start of the game.

how to say?

Yang Yang felt that the Brazilian team played very slowly.

It is the kind of slowly and leisurely controlling the ball and passing the ball, advancing layer by layer. Although their passing and receiving are very skillful and their personal abilities are very strong, they have no speed or change in rhythm, which makes the Chinese team defensive. Not difficult.

In contrast to the Chinese team, the set brought by Clausen is more holistic, and at the same time, the overall coordinated operation is faster. It is indeed very effective, and it has also played a role.

The speed of the Chinese team is not reflected in the speed of one person, but the rhythm of the whole team's attack and defense is very fast.

Since Zhou Haibin is suspended, the Chinese team's strategy is to defend and counterattack.

Unexpectedly, after 20 minutes of defense, the Brazilian team's ground attack did not penetrate the Chinese team's defense, but scored a goal with a free kick in the frontcourt. It is quite depressing to think about it.

And Yang Yang looked back and reflected on the conceded goal just now, and the foul that caused the free kick was a bit too late.

This means that both the midfield and defense of the Chinese team have shrunk too much.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang took advantage of the chance that the Brazilian team had just returned from the sidelines to celebrate before kick-off, and ran to Zhao Xuri and Cui Peng again. At the same time, he called Feng Xiaoting over to express his thoughts. .

They all played on the same field. When Yang Yang came out at one point, his teammates immediately understood.

After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed too far behind just now.

Although it is a defensive counterattack, the defense must be contracted, but it is still necessary to stay back, otherwise there will be no flexibility. Once it is pressed, it lacks protection of the penalty area, which is very fatal.

"We have to press forward appropriately."

Back in the middle circle, when he was about to tee off again, Yang Yang smiled at Gao Lin.

"can you?"

Gao Lin grinned, "I don't know if it will work, let's run first."

"Then do it!"

…………

…………

After the restart of the game, the Brazilian team began to find that the Chinese team played more fiercely.

The two forwards headed by Yang Yang and Gao Lin directly pressed on the Brazilian team's back line. The four midfielders also pressed forward together, basically from the 30-meter area to the center line, and the back line also followed.

The three lines maintain a meticulous formation order, which makes it very difficult for the Brazilian team to pass the ball through.

Lack of pace and rhythm changes, Brazil's possession rate was close to 60 percent, but it was useless, and even if they occasionally created chances, they were always blocked by Chinese players.

The Chinese team's strategy is more simple and direct, that is, high-intensity pressing and pressing.

Once he loses the ball, he immediately counterattacks on the spot, which is what Crawchen has always asked for.

This kind of pressing and pressing makes it difficult for the Brazilian team to play speed. In addition, they are accustomed to slowly and leisurely controlling the ball and advancing layer by layer, making them advance to the 30-meter area in the frontcourt. The Chinese team has already arranged a defensive line. .

But as long as the Brazilian team made a mistake and was caught by the Chinese team, it immediately launched a counterattack on the spot and hit directly behind.

In the 32nd minute, this strategy of the Chinese team brought itself a very good opportunity to counterattack.

After Cui Peng intercepted the ball, Hao Junmin made an oblique pass behind him, Yang Yang quickly started to get the ball, and it was about to become a single-handed shot, but the Swiss referee whistled for offside.

Yang Yang was very dissatisfied with the penalty this time. He clearly saw it with God's vision when he started it, and there was no offside. A Brazilian defender was dragged behind, but the linesman raised the flag, and the referee insisted on the original sentence.

"It was indeed a controversial decision."

"From the slow motion point of view, when Yang Yang started, he should have been level with the Brazilian defender, but the linesman's line of sight may have been blocked, and he thought it was an offside."

"The Chinese team missed a great opportunity to single-handedly."

Yang Yang took a deep breath and walked back quickly, while not forgetting to give Hao Junmin a thumbs up.

"It doesn't matter, if we can find a chance, we will definitely get a second chance."

Yang Yang clapped his hands vigorously, "Take your time, brothers, let's focus on the defense again, and wait for the opportunity!"

"Okay!" The Chinese players scattered all over the court responded in unison.

…………

…………

Brazil quickly took a free kick.

They don't seem to be planning to change their game strategy. They still want to control the ball and pass the ball slowly into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

On the other hand, the Chinese team took physical effort to run and cover to achieve the goal of pressing and pressing.

Not only the players in the midfield and backcourt, but even Yang Yang and Gao Lin in the frontcourt were energized, constantly harassing and forcing the Brazilian team's backline, which made it difficult for the Brazilian team to pass and control the ball.

In terms of ball possession, the Chinese team is at an absolute disadvantage, but if you just look at the scene, the two sides are half-hearted.

Game time is passing little by little.

Yang Yang glanced at the time on the scoreboard from time to time, silently calculating in his heart.

Intuition tells him that he should work hard to score goals in the first half and tie the game, so that he will play with more confidence and confidence in the second half.

The psychological quality of Chinese players is relatively weak. If they enter halftime with a zero-to-one score, some players are likely to be discouraged. How much they can play in the second half is really hard to say.

Sometimes, it's not really a problem of not trying your best, but when you feel discouraged, when you feel that you can't save the situation no matter how hard you try, you can't use all the strength you have.

And if you want to avoid this situation, you can only try to equalize the score.

But how can we be able to steal the ball from Brazil's feet?

Yang Yang had the feeling he had when he returned to the club and played the ring game with his teammates.

Today's Brazil team is passing and controlling the ball slowly and leisurely, as if they are teammates in a circle, while Yang Yang and Gao Lin are like two monkeys rushing in the circle.

After two years of training in the game of catching the ring, Yang Yang has already cultivated the experience of catching the ring.

A target was quickly locked in.

Right back Rafinha!
