Chapter 472 Let the captain go to the front
With the normal game competition, the atmosphere on the court has gradually turned into the normal track of the game.Next, the two sides launched a real technical and tactical contest.
Breaking away from fierce fighting and conducting technical and tactical contests, the Japanese team still has a lot of advantages.The superiority of the foot technology gave the Japanese team a slight upper hand on the scene.In terms of pass and control, especially the number of passes is much higher than that of the Chinese team, and the penetration of short passes between players is also in place, which is very beautiful.
Fortunately, the Chinese team has a tougher defense.Physical confrontation is dominant, especially the sweeping force in the middle is the strongest, which makes it difficult for the Japanese team to form an effective penetration in the middle area.Can only attack from two flanks.
Although the Japanese team has a great advantage on the wing, it does not have an advantage in the middle area.This makes them often unable to play for those who outflank in the middle after they pass from the bottom.
In such a situation, when encountering the strong defense of the Chinese team, it seems that there is no shortage of goals.
The head coach of the Japanese team, Harry Hodzic, is not a single-minded person. When he discovered this situation, he immediately asked the Japanese team to change their style of play.From more bottom passes, to more reverse passes, relying on players who follow up from behind to make a layered impact.
With such a change, the defensive pressure on the Chinese team has increased a lot.However, under the leadership of Yan Feng and others, the defense of the Chinese team was impeccable.The Japanese team was unable to break through the Chinese team's defense for a while.
As for the Chinese team, while defending well, they will attack resolutely whenever there is an opportunity.But in the face of the defense of the Japanese team, it was still so weak.
Although Yu Hanchao and Cao Yunding are considered players with outstanding domestic breakthrough ability.But in the face of the Japanese team's back line mainly composed of European players, the breakthrough ability of the two of them is not so effective.
However, Lin Fan no longer suffers from physical confrontation as usual, so his performance is very good, fully displaying his personal characteristics and strength.Not only can he hit the door by himself, but he can also deliver shells to his teammates.It's just that he failed to hit the goal, but his teammates' grasping ability is still the same.
Yan Feng naturally wants to step forward to participate in the attack, but the Japanese team seems to have carried out a thorough investigation of him.The Japanese team did a good job in breaking Yan Feng and plugging in the goal.On Yan Feng's way forward, players from the Japanese team always stopped there.
Sending someone to professionally intercept Yan Feng's forward route will cause a greater defensive burden on the players.But even if it is a greater consumption of players' physical energy, the Japanese team still resolutely implement this strategy.
As a result, the Chinese team's offense is also difficult to work.
The Chinese team and the Japanese team each have their own characteristics and advantages.The Chinese team is strong in defense and weak in attack, while the Japanese team is strong in offense and weak in defense.This matchup seemed extremely stalemate on the scene.It will be very difficult for anyone to score goals.
For various reasons, both sides are determined to win this game.Therefore, even if there is really no way to break the goal, they all hold back their energy to score the opponent's goal.
In the game on the field, the offense and defense are constantly changing; the time of the game is also constantly passing, but no one can do anything to the other.Even the fans in the stands felt that it was too difficult to score the opponent's goal.
As time went on, the physical fitness of both parties soon declined greatly.Even the game time was less than 70 minutes, and both sides had physical difficulties.
The physical fitness will appear so quickly, mainly because the two sides fought too hard in the first half, and there were too many physical confrontations, which consumed much more physical energy than normal.
The physical fitness of the players on the field has dropped significantly, and the rhythm of the game has also slowed down.And this situation is undoubtedly beneficial to the Chinese team.
The reason is that they have Yan Feng who can't die.Physical problems have never been related to Yan Feng. Even if this game is special, Yan Feng still doesn't seem to be affected much.When others slow down, he can still sprint quickly.
Therefore, when the game time passed 60 minutes, the situation on the field began to change.The Japanese team, which had the upper hand, gradually turned to defense.
"Brothers, our time has come. Give me encouragement and kill the opponent." Since the Chinese team has two new forces, Yan Feng and Lin Fan, once the game enters 70 minutes, the Chinese team become irresistible.The previous competition experience gave Yan Feng more confidence at this moment.
"That's right, our time has come, kill them." The rest of the Chinese team also rose in momentum.
The Chinese team began to become more active, and the offense was more active and powerful.
Seeing the rising momentum of the Chinese team, the head coach of the Japanese team, Harry Hodzic, responded immediately.He replaced Keisuke Honda, who was long past his prime, and added a midfielder instead.
Harry Hodzic sent Hotaru Yamaguchi, which changed the formation of the Japanese team from the main attacking formation of 433 to a more balanced formation of 442.
On the surface, the Japanese team removed a striker and replaced it with a midfielder. This is a change that weakens offense and strengthens defense.But in essence, this did not reduce the offensive ability of the Japanese team much.
Speaking of it, it may be due to the physical characteristics of the Japanese that they rarely have powerful midfielders.On the contrary, Nanban often has very good and powerful midfielders.
Hotaru Yamaguchi, who is less than 175cm tall, is a typical Japanese midfielder.The technique is good and the tactical quality is good, but it is far from tough enough.Therefore, his playing, increased defensive strength is limited.However, the tactics of the Japanese team have changed accordingly.
Although the formation has been adjusted and has not turned into defense, but after adding a player in the middle, the Chinese team has formed a pass control ability that is not so strong, and faces greater difficulties when passing through the midfield.
It is not how much defense the opponent has increased, but the main reason is that the Chinese team itself lacks offensive capabilities.This made the Chinese team, which has increased its momentum and increased its offensive strength, not press down on the Japanese team as expected, or even break through the goal.
There are still difficulties in attacking, but the physical advantage of the Chinese team after 70 minutes does bring an advantage.At least from the scene, the Chinese team gradually gained the upper hand.
As time went on, when the advantage of the Chinese team began to increase, the head coach of the Japanese team, Harry Hodzic, made adjustments in due course.
This time, Harry Hodzic replaced Takashi Usami, who was physically weak.Today, Usami Takashi enjoyed the enthusiastic care of Chinese tough guys, and his performance was not outstanding.When he was replaced, he was really exhausted physically and mentally.It's just that when he was replaced, his eyes were really resentful.
This time the Japanese team sent Yojiro Takagi.He is a rare tough player among Japanese midfielders.In this way, the formation of the Japanese team has also become 4231.
From 433 at the beginning, to 442, and then to 4231. The Japanese team really shrank this time.The strikers have been greatly reduced, and the midfield has been greatly strengthened.This makes the Japanese team's strength in the midfield become even stronger.
"The Japanese team is going to compete with the Chinese team for the control of the midfield. How will Lippi react?" Seeing the substitution of the Japanese team, knowledgeable people can't help asking such questions.
Many people looked at Lippi on the sidelines, and the camera at the scene also aimed at Lippi's face with interest.
Lippi frowned, looking at the field solemnly.He was also aware of his opponent's intentions.It's just that he has very few tickets in his hand.And there really aren't any offensive cards available.
After a while, Lippi finally made personnel adjustments.He tried hard but failed, and Yu Hanchao, who had suffered a severe physical decline, was replaced.Replaced by Hao Junmin who is physically fit.
This is a matchup substitution.Designed to increase the physical fitness available to the Chinese team.And such a substitution did not bring much change.After the Japanese team competed for the midfield with all their strength, the Chinese team fell into the situation of partaking in the midfield with their opponents.
The fighting in the midfield became more and more intense, and the chances of the Chinese team's attack also decreased.And this is not the most serious. After the competition in the midfield became increasingly heated, another offensive player of the Chinese team, Cao Yunding, also suffered a lack of physical fitness.
Assaulter Cao Yunding needs to end, who should be replaced?
The Chinese team fell into the dilemma of substitutions again.Looking back at the Chinese team's bench, there are really not many people available.Replacing anyone doesn't seem to be able to bring about effective change.
Is it necessary to change the position again?Replace with a player who is just physically strong, but actually doesn't have much effect?
Obviously, this is not what the world-class coach Lippi wants to see.Therefore, when Lippi made another decision to make a substitution, it attracted a burst of cheers from the Chinese fans in the stands.
"The Chinese team has strengthened their offense. It seems that Lippi will use his strength this time."
"It's up to Yu Dabao. Fu will play, and I hope it will really bring good luck."
The Chinese team played Yu Dabao.Although Yu Dabao is a striker compared to most of the current players, in fact, Yu Dabao often played on the side in the past.
The Chinese team did not change their formation, it was still the original 4231 formation.However, after playing Yu Dabao, the Chinese team can become a double forward.Moreover, Gao Lin can also flexibly switch positions with Yu Dabao.Gao Lin can also play on the side, and he often pulls on the side at Evergrande.
The Chinese team stepped up their offense.Yu Dabao's appearance is such a signal.
Sure enough, the Chinese team stepped up their offensive efforts, and the formation also pushed up a lot.However, the Japanese team did not back down, they launched an active fight with the Chinese team in the midfield.
Since the two sides and the striker of the Chinese team have no advantages, after the Japanese team put all their efforts in the midfield, the Chinese team will inevitably compete in the midfield.
Falling into the strangling competition in the midfield, the Chinese team's offensive will be difficult to continue.As a result, the Chinese team did not get more chances to hit the goal.
The scene became stalemate again, and no one could do anything to break the door.
The field is fighting, and the time is passing fast.Seeing that the time has passed, but no one can see the arrival of the goal.Moreover, depending on the situation, it is very likely that the two sides will not be able to score goals at all during regular time, and it may even be a penalty kick in the end.
Penalty shootout.This may start to appear in everyone's consideration.It is estimated that taking this into consideration, the Japanese team retreated 80 minutes later.
It is likely to be dragged into stoppage time, or even a penalty shootout.This made Lippi fall into deep thought again.
In view of the Chinese team's player skills and previous psychological endurance, this is obviously not conducive to the Chinese team.
And soon, the Chinese team had to make substitutions and adjustments.Gao Lin's physical fitness could no longer support him.
Go under Gao Lin, who will replace him?
This is another problem for the Chinese team.For an even worse striker?
Such a substitution, which is better than nothing, was naturally not accepted by Lippi.After a dead ball, he replaced Gao Lin with manager Zhang Xizhe.
The striker was replaced and a midfielder was replaced. This change made the outside world understand.The only thing he knew was that Yu Dabao had reached the center forward position.
"Eh~ Is Lippi also preparing for the final penalty shootout? There is still time in the game and overtime, why can't he take the initiative to try to end the game before the penalty kick?"
After Zhang Xizhe came on the field, Yu Dabao was about to move to the center position.But Zhang Xizhe stopped him.
"I'm not going to the front? Is the coach planning to stop the striker?" Yu Dabao didn't understand.
"Yes. You don't need to be at the top. But you don't need a striker." Zhang Xicao explained.
"Are you kidding me? Are you coming?" Yu Dabao was speechless.
"Of course not, I have never played as a forward." Zhang Xizhe shook his head.
"Then who will the coach ask?" Yu Dabao glanced around, and he was the only Zhengyin striker on the Chinese team.
"team leader."
"Captain? You mean a lunatic?" Yu Dabao pointed at Yan Feng with disbelief.
"Yes." Zhang Xizhe nodded heavily.
"Oh, did I get it wrong?" Yu Dabao was confused.
"The coach asked me to go to the front?" Yan Feng asked calmly after hearing Zhang Xizhe's words.
"Yes."
Yan Feng, who got an affirmative answer, just frowned, then turned to look at Lippi on the sidelines.Lippi, on the other hand, nodded heavily at him and gave him a firm look.
"Okay. Then I'll leave it to you later, Azhe." After taking a deep breath, Yan Feng said to Zhang Xizhe.
"Leave it to me. Don't worry. I'll leave the goal to you. Captain, whether we can defeat the devil this time depends on you." Zhang Xizhe said seriously.
"Captain, come on." Yu Dabao clenched his fists and said to Yan Feng, and other people also cheered on Yan Feng after hearing this arrangement.
No one on the court doubted Lippi's decision.Although he is a midfielder, he is the number one killer of the Chinese team in the World Cup.In the last game, after Yan Feng scored a goal to defeat the Croatian team, none of them dared to doubt Yan Feng's scoring ability.
Everyone started to return to their positions, and Yan Feng also walked to the place where the Chinese team was closest to the Japanese team's penalty area.
"Yan, in the second half, you may need to be at the front in the end."
"Coach, you mean to let me be a forward? We still have a few forwards who are not injured."
"You know, we don't have a striker on the team who can solve a fight."
"However, I play as a defensive midfielder. After entering the professional league, I have always been in the midfield."
"We need someone who can score goals. And now there is no one more suitable than you."
"However, the team's defense needs me. The Japanese team's offense is very strong, and their midfield is also very strong. If I go to the front ```"
"No! Yan, you have to believe in yourself. At the same time, you also have to believe in your teammates."
"Trust your teammates?"
"Yes, believe them. They are not as weak as you think. Although all of them except Lin Fan are playing in the Super League. But the opponents they face are all world-class. The defensive pressure they face in the Super League It’s not worse than what the Japanese team brought, and it’s even stronger. Yan, trust them, trust your teammates!”
As Yan Feng walked forward, the last words Lippi said to him at the end of the intermission also appeared in his mind.
Gradually, Yan Feng's expression became firmer.He clenched his fist tightly.
"Trust you, my teammates. The defense is up to you."
"Believe in yourself! Solve the final blow of the battle and leave it to me!"
