Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 206

While the Chinese team defeated the Saudi team, the Iranian team continued their strength since the start of the top ten match, beating Qatar [-]-[-] at home, ranking first with [-] points in four games, two wins and two draws, followed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait Both the Chinese team and the Chinese team tied for second with four points in three games, one win, one draw, and one loss. Qatar was at the bottom with only one point, and this point was obtained by the Chinese team.

The Iranian team has a bye in the fourth round, the Chinese team will go to Kuwait City to challenge the Kuwait team, and Saudi Arabia will play against Qatar at home. For these four teams, winning this game is also inevitable.

The Chinese team, which had won their first victory, had no time to celebrate. They chartered a flight to Kuwait City on the second day after the game. Speaking of which, they made a big effort to hit the World Cup Football Association. The round-robin schedule of one host and one guest made the Chinese team Having to run back and forth, from this point of view, it is not a wise move for the Chinese team to set their home court in Dalian in the north. If the home court is located in the southwestern Chengdu Stadium, the journey of the Chinese team will be much shorter.

After three rounds of matches, the strength of each team has been basically reflected. Although the Iranian team is aggressive, it may not be the strength that stands out from the crowd. The consecutive draws with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait show that this popular team is not impeccable, and Kuwait blocked it. Iran's actions also show that the four West Asian brothers may not be monolithic.

After the Chinese team set off to Kuwait, the Chinese media became lively again. They began to constantly calculate the points, and began to discuss how many points they need to get to qualify as the first in the group-although in Pei Wei's opinion, this is really meaningless meaning, but discussing these is much better than discussing the tactics of the national team.

For a game like the top ten, it is meaningless to count points. You will never know what opportunity you missed is fatal until the end. In the five teams with limited strengths, there have been quite a few In the case of a tie, sometimes one point can determine the final result.

The away game against Kuwait is the last game of the first cycle. If they can win this game, the Chinese team will occupy the second place in the standings anyway—even if the Saudi team wins the game, according to mutual In terms of victory or defeat, the Chinese team can also overwhelm their opponents.

After arriving in Kuwait City, Benitez and Pei Wei received good news. Hao Dong, who had been plagued by fever since the start of the top ten competition, finally got rid of the entanglement of his illness and began to appear on the training ground with a relaxed face.

This news is indeed good news. Benitez and Pei Wei are very clear about what a healthy Hao Dong means to the national team. It is not unreasonable for former Marshal Qi to change the formation to [-]. Technical characteristics, explosive power and scoring ability are very suitable as the "one" of the single arrow. It can be said that there is no domestic striker who can surpass Hao Dong in terms of comprehensive ability.

Li Bing is too thick, Yao Xia's scoring ability is not strong, Yu Genwei is full of aura, but he is a little immature, Gao Feng is probably the only domestic forward who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Hao Dong, but his scoring ability and direct threat to the goal Obviously not as prominent as Hao Dong.

After the first victory, the international players began to gradually accept the coach Benitez. After all, he led the team to a victory as soon as he came. There is only one standard for evaluating a football coach-winning is hard reason.

****************************************
"Playing against Kuwait, they must take the initiative to attack." Before the game, Benitez said to the players: "First, they are at home; second, they need points; After a home game and two consecutive away games, they definitely don’t want to face the situation where they have to win in the away game at the last minute, so they have to keep scoring points at home, so they will definitely play out in this game.”

While translating for him, Pei Wei thought to himself: "Could it be that we want to play a defensive counterattack?"

Not only him, almost all the players were thinking this way, but then Benitez immediately changed the subject: "So, in the beginning, we have to take the initiative to attack! Attack from the beginning, catch them by surprise! Then Retreat and defend to save energy, and we will give them a fatal blow after their physical strength declines! Among the five teams in our group, their physical strength is considered the worst, and we have an advantage in this regard!"

"After seeing the last game, they will definitely be wary of our wing attack. After all, most of our offense in the last game was initiated by the wing. We can play at the beginning of the attack. Playing on the wing, when they turn their key defense to the wing, we will focus on passing the ball to the feet of Hao Dong and Gao Feng, and let them complete the final blow. Remember, in the game, we must The rhythm is in your own hands!"

In the game against Kuwait, the starting lineup did not change from the previous game, which made the international players a little strange. You must know that although Hao Dong and Sun Chenghai are the two "direct descendants" of Benitez's standard among the starting players, but These two were already the main force under Marshal Qi. After Benitez took office, the other two players from Yunjia Tianyu, Nie Fei and Yang Tian, ​​were still firmly placed on the bench. Instead, the main players are players from other clubs, such as Xie Feng, Wu Jiying, and Gao Feng.

In fact, it’s not that Benitez doesn’t want to use Nie Fei. In fact, he thinks that Nie Fei is the best candidate to make up for the lack of speed and creativity in the Chinese midfielder. But he has to consider the fact that he is different from other international players. This is the first time that Nie Fei has been selected for the national team. Except for a few teammates from Yunjia Tianyu, the other players are not familiar with him at all. However, Nie Fei's style of play is relatively random and full of aura. Except for the players with whom he has established a tacit understanding, it is difficult for anyone to realize that it took Hao Dong a few months to establish a tacit cooperation with Nie Fei after his transfer. It is definitely unrealistic to be able to integrate into the team in just one day.

Another question is that Nie Fei's defensive ability is almost zero. The reason why Yunjiatianyu played so well is inseparable from the strong backing of Dunga and Ballack behind him, but in the national team, there is no Such a player.

Benitez believes that the current Chinese team has a big problem. They do not lack good defenders, good forwards, or even a midfielder with an overall view, but they lack a player who can run and jump, defend well, and be able to stabilize the situation. He has to hold the midfielder, otherwise Sun Chenghai would not be wronged to give up his best right back position and play as a midfielder. Although Sun Chenghai is good at defending as a midfielder, his body is relatively thin and cannot be regarded as a good player. A qualified midfielder.

This is also the reason why Benitez is most dissatisfied with the current Chinese team. As long as there is an excellent midfielder, even if it is a pure engineer midfielder, he dares to use Nie Fei boldly. The waist is no problem at all.

But now, he can only form such a formation.

******************************************
Benitez's tactics were very successful, and the defensive counterattack tactics drill he arranged in the public training before the game also confused the Kuwaiti people very well, so that when the Chinese team launched a fierce attack at the beginning, the Kuwaiti players seemed a little nervous. Come to yourself.

The momentary stupefaction was fatal. The Chinese team quickly pushed the ball into the front court. Wu Jiying pretended to break through to the side, and then passed the ball to General Fan in the middle. General Fan sent the ball to the feet of Hao Dong in front. Hao Dong Dong took the ball with his back to the penalty zone at the top of the penalty area, turned around suddenly, and immediately used the power of the turn to slam the ball with his right foot before the opponent's defender came up!
The ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal, and when it flew into the small penalty area, there was a bounce, and it bounced from the Kuwaiti goalkeeper into the net!
At this time, only 2 minutes had passed in the first half.

No one expected that the Chinese team could take the lead so quickly, even Benitez, who arranged this tactic, did not expect that his original intention was to use the attack at the beginning to disrupt the opponent's arrangement and win for the next defense. Time, after the opponent has exhausted his energy for a long time, then use offense to kill the opponent-but he just scored a goal!
The next game was much easier. After tenaciously defending the rest of the first half, Benitez replaced Li Min with Peng Weiguo to control the midfield. His ability to control the ball is second to none in the national team. If you can hold the ball in midfield, the opponent will have to expend more energy to press up.

In the 607th minute of the game, Peng Weiguo's seemingly careless kick in the middle created a chance for Hao Dong, who had been cruising behind the opponent's defense line. His explosive advantage was fully displayed, and he rushed to catch up with the ball Formed a single-handedly, the next thing is easy. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Hao Dong easily hit a dead corner and scored twice.

Although Kuwait's number one striker Houwadi recovered a goal after more than ten minutes, Sun Chenghai, who made an attack at the end, passed it directly to Gao Feng in front, and then continued to advance. His running attracted the opponent's defender. Gao Feng's attention also helped Gao Feng create a chance. After Gao Feng dribbled the ball horizontally, he suddenly kicked a long shot, and the ball went straight into the dead corner and into the net!
Three to one!The Chinese team won the game. After the end of the first round, they successfully overwhelmed the Saudi team that had won the same victory with seven points, occupying a relatively favorable position before the start of the second round.

In the post-match press conference, Pei Wei quoted a famous quote, which resonated with the Chinese reporters present: "We have choked fate by the throat, and it will never make us succumb!"
