Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 461 It's Argentina Again

Except for Iran, the other three opponents in the Chinese team's group have not changed much. Qatar, Uzbekistan, and Oman are added. Negative, Qatar once created the pain of "black 97 minutes" for China, and Uzbekistan even let the Chinese team lose the chance to win the Asian championship for the first time in 3. Except for Oman, the other three teams are more or less To a lesser extent, it has caused pain to the Chinese national team.

However, in terms of the schedule, the Chinese team is quite favorable. They have a bye in the first round, and they will face Iran, the strongest opponent in the second round. The strongest opponent, then the advantage will be established in the first place.

Regarding the result of the lottery, some fans are full of confidence, thinking that this is the best opportunity to wash away the humiliating battle of Jinzhou in 97-there is nothing better than directly eliminating the opponents who once defeated them. I am worried about this. After all, there is only one place to qualify directly in this group. If there is a slight mistake in the group stage, it will be very difficult. After all, the level of Asian football is still quite far from the level of European football.

However, the performance of the China Youth Team in the World Youth Championship gave a shot in the arm to all Chinese fans-they were invincible in the group stage, and completed the group stage with three wins and three wins!This is the best record in the group achieved by the Chinese youth team in the World Youth Championship!
The performance of the Chinese youth team in this World Youth Championship caught everyone’s eyes. They boldly used the three-four-three attack tactics-the goalkeeper is An Ning from Dalian, and the three defenders are Zhang Yaokun from Dalian and Du from Yunjia. Wei and Liaoning's Xu Liang, the midfielder is Hu Zhaojun from Dalian, the right midfielder is Li Fang from Yunjia, the left midfielder is Yan Song from Dalian, the midfielder is Gao Mingwei from Qingdao, and the three forwards are on the right. Qu Tao from Qingdao, Wang Xinxin from Liaoning on the left, and Adriano from Yunjia in the center.

Using such a tactic in professional league games that are increasingly focused on defense is basically tantamount to suicide, but in the youth team game, such a bold offensive tactic has achieved exceptional results. The opponents of the three groups, the United States, Ukraine Chile is far inferior to the Chinese youth team in terms of scores and scenes. They first defeated the United States with a score of [-] to [-], and then defeated Ukraine [-] to [-] in a confrontation. The Chinese team, which sent most of the substitutes, still beat Chile [-]-[-] and successfully advanced to the top [-].

The most eye-catching Chinese youth team player went to Qingdao’s Qu Tao—he scored three goals in three games, opened the scoring against the United States, sealed the victory against Ukraine, and scored the only goal against the Chilean team The ball, but Adriano's performance does not seem to be so good, he only scored twice when he played against Ukraine.

Pei Wei watched all three games in one go. In his opinion, the reason why Adriano did not have Qu Tao in his performance was simply because in Shen Fu's tactical system, the forward striker It is a cover in offense, the biggest function is to attract the opponent's central defender to lose his position, and then let the forwards on the two wings seize the gap and shoot successfully-the first game against the United States is the perfect embodiment of this tactic. It was Adriano who pulled out of the penalty area and made the opponent's defense weak in the penalty area. Qu Tao and Wang Xinxin scored two singles with one left and one right, and then resolved the battle-but after this game, the next Ukraine, who came down, quickly made targeted arrangements. In the first half, the Chinese team fell behind by one goal. During the intermission, under the suggestion of Li Huajun, the Chinese youth team changed their tactics and began to use Adriano as the core. Offensive, this move immediately showed the power of Adriano. His two heavy bombardments in the penalty area perfectly interpreted the meaning of the word "center forward", and Adriano did not have it at all in the last game. In Pei Wei's view, Adriano's two goals are worth more.

From these few games, Pei Wei also saw Shen Fu's flaws-this former international footballer with excellent skills seemed a little naive in coaching, and he was too superstitious about "one trick, eat all over the world", he naively thought that he This set of tactics designed can be invincible all over the world. Who knows that it will be seen through after one game. If it is not for Li Huajun's reminder, the second game of the China Youth Team will be quite dangerous.

This is also a common problem of Chinese coaches. They cannot keep up with the development trend of world football. Every tactic and formation has been used before, and the advantages and disadvantages of various types of tactical formations have been thoroughly studied. It is completely impossible to expect to create a tactic that can be used all over the world.

The outcome of a football match ultimately depends on the player's personal ability, tacit cooperation, and whether the formation tactics can meet the characteristics of the players. There has never been any tactics that can conquer the world, such as Shen Fu's well-designed set of three-four The tactic of three can actually be transformed into a three-six-one. When defending, two forwards return to the midfield, and two full-backs retreat to help defend-in fact, such a tactic is more suitable for counterattacks. To deal with this tactic, you only need to use The same counter-attack against the weakness of the flank defense will do - the same is true for Ukraine's two goals.

The reason why the "Super Platinum Generation" in history was reduced to the "Melatonin Generation" was due to the fact that some players began to degenerate after achieving some results, and Shen Fu also achieved some results by relying on the three-six formation. Then I just cling to the reason - this tactic can indeed play an unexpected role when it is first introduced, but when this tactic is thoroughly studied, it is basically useless. The away game of the 04 Olympic qualifier Losing to South Korea is losing on the opponent's counterattack. The housekeeping skills have been thoroughly studied, and it is strange not to lose.

Before the professionalization of Chinese football, it was lagging behind in all aspects—now after several years of hard work, the league’s norms and players’ abilities have grown very obviously, so the low level of coaches has become the most hindering point—determining a The capacity of the barrel is not the longest piece of wood, but the shortest piece - this is the famous "wooden plank theory". Now most of the domestic league teams are headed by foreign teachers, which shows that domestic clubs have fully realized this. , and the cruel reality has caused Chinese coaches to start studying abroad one after another. Compared with foreign teachers, they have no advantage now. The only advantage is probably the so-called "familiarity with the national conditions". Improving their own level has become the only way for local coaches to guarantee their jobs. I believe that in the near future, there will be more and more excellent local coaches.

************************************
The Chinese youth team won the cheers of more Chinese fans and attracted the attention of countless people. The world of football is realistic. When you perform well, you will immediately have countless eyes like flies. Staring at you the same way.

The China Youth Team didn't care about these views - they met the No.3 Paraguay team in Group F in the quarter-finals. In this game, Shen Fu decisively changed the formation under Li Huajun's suggestion. It became four four two, with Adriano advancing forward on the front line, Qu Tao lagging behind, the four players in the midfield remained the same, Sun Yi from Shanghai served as the left back, Xu Liang returned to the right back position, this lineup is very good In this game, Adriano's performance has attracted everyone's attention. His strong body, excellent ability to grab points in front of the goal, personal breakthrough ability and his powerful The long shot amazed the fans present and the scouts hidden among the fans.

Almost alone, Adriano defeated Paraguay's defense. He used two iconic long-range shots after a breakthrough to complete all the goals of the China Youth Team. Although Paraguay striker Santa Cruz recovered one point, But it still can't stop the China Youth Team from advancing to the quarterfinals!
The Chinese youth team, which tied the best record in history, did not stop their progress and continued their miraculous performance-in the quarter-finals, they relied on Adriano's 6-minute thunderbolt to hit the goal. The green team defeated the European Czech team [-]-[-] and broke into the semi-finals!

Adriano's ability was fully demonstrated in these two knockout rounds - after entering the knockout rounds, Shen Fu wisely placed his treasure on Adriano, and Adriano did not let him down. After the ball was more concentrated at his feet, Adriano tore apart the opponent's defense again and again. So far he has scored five goals, second only to the host Argentina's number one star Saviola— —The star nicknamed "Rabbit" scored an astonishing nine goals in five games, averaging close to two per game. With his performance, as long as Argentina can win the final championship, then the top scorer And the best player is almost in his pocket.

Unfortunately, the opponent of the China Youth Team in the semi-finals is the Argentine team.

Just like four years ago, the China Youth Team met the Argentine team who later won the championship in the knockout round, and the result was surprisingly similar. The China Youth Team lost the semi-final 1:2. Although Adriano played Scored a goal, but the two goals of the opponent's two superstars Saviola and Coloccini still solved the Chinese team-two consecutive games were planted on Argentina, and Argentina also won Having won the two championships, from this point of view, the China Youth Team is not wronged.
