Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 535 etc.

When the majestic "March of the Volunteers" sounded over the Miyagi Stadium, all the Chinese people present solemnly sang along with the majestic rhythm.

All the Japanese people present had a little weird expression on their faces - this song was born in the tragic war between the two countries in the last century. The song inspired the Chinese soldiers and civilians to muster up the courage to fight fiercely with the Japanese invaders, and today, this song will still guide soldiers from China to compete with the Japanese on Japanese soil—but, the content of this contest Not killing skills, but football art.

The starting lineup of the Japanese team is nothing new. They are basically old acquaintances of the Chinese players. Since Troussier has not been able to play in Putsmouth, Troussier does not believe that Kawaguchi can survive. In addition, Kawaguchi Nenghuo often makes some low-level mistakes, so in this World Cup, the main player has always been Masaki Masao who plays for Nagoya Grampus. The central defenders are Koji Nakata and Ryuzo Morioka, the midfielder Junichi Inamoto, the left midfielder Shinji Ono, the right midfielder Hiroki Morishima, the midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata, and the two forwards are partnered by Takayuki Suzuki and Akihiro Nishizawa.

Compared with the Asian Cup two years ago, the Japanese team has undergone relatively large changes. The formation has changed from [-] to [-]. It seems that in the Asian Cup final, the two sides of the Japanese team were beaten by the Chinese team. The appalling sight dealt a big blow to Troussier-three of the four goals of the Chinese team were scored through the attack from the wing, especially their two full-backs with excellent assist ability. It caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese team's defense.

That game taught Troussier a big lesson - the strength of the Chinese team is far from being the best in Asia, but they can turn the Japanese team upside down, not to mention the powerful players in the World Cup !So in the past two years, Troussier abandoned his previous method of strengthening the midfield and began to pursue a more offensive and defensive balance. His efforts have achieved results. In the three group matches, the Japanese team played steadily. His offensive and defensive rhythm has never been at a disadvantage in front of the three opponents.

Troussier, like Milou, both adopted the most accustomed formation in this game. They both have strong confidence and believe that their team's strength must be definitely higher than that of their opponents, and both sides are familiar with each other. The degree also makes the tricks completely useless. In this case, only the real strength of the team is the most reliable!
But... Are the two parties really that familiar with each other? The 2000 Asian Cup final was the last contest between the two sides in a regular game, but the players participating in that game were only the Olympic team and a few overage players, not the real national team!Compared with the game two years ago, the Chinese team has added two "foreign players" Adriano and Deco to the main lineup, and the tactics of the Japanese team have also undergone great changes. We can no longer look at our opponents through the eyes of two years ago.

"Japan's strongest is their midfielder. Whether it's the defense or the striker's ability to seize scoring opportunities, they are not super-class in Asia. This is where we can take advantage." Milu said on the coach's bench murmured.

**************************************
"The so-called 'controlling the midfield can control the game' is just the so-called truth understood by people who don't understand football." After watching the game for ten minutes, Wenger began to express his opinion: "In fact, it is still the striker who plays a key role in football matches, because they are the terminators of the offense, the ones who put an end to the offense. Take the World Cup as an example, every time the team that wins the World Cup must There will be a super shooter, and other players will attack around him... Don't tell me about Maradona. In 86, Maradona's position was more like a striker, and the striker in front of him had better ability to seize opportunities. If it is stronger, then Argentina’s goals in that cup may increase by ten. The only exception was France four years ago. Their key goals were basically scored by midfielders. Football is also an anomaly in its centuries-old history."

Both Mourinho and Benitez looked at him, and Wenger continued: "The Chinese team has done a good job at this point. Although they have cores like Nie Fei and Deco in the midfield, they have everything they have. They are all centered around the striker - the purpose is to let the striker take the ball comfortably in the penalty area and then shoot. This is the easiest way to attack in a football game, but Japan seems to be on the wrong path. They emphasize too much The role of the midfielder has changed. Yes, they are learning from Brazil, but when Brazil won the World Cup, did they not rely on super strikers to score goals? They had Pele when they won the World Cup for the first two times, and the third time Although Pele was injured, they still had Garrincha, and in 94 they had Romario... On the contrary, the team with Zico, Falcao, Socrates and Junior was called ' The national team with the most gorgeous midfielder in the history of Brazilian football can only end disastrously, losing to Italy with Rossi and Argentina with Maradona, which is enough to explain the problem!"

"The closer you are to the goal, the easier it is to score. This is the simplest and biggest truth in football." Wenger made the final summary with this sentence.

Milu is not as complicated as Wenger thought. It is true that his tactics have always been based on two strikers. That is because of the presence of Adriano, a striker who can solve the game alone. The next main attacker is not Adriano, who is the target of public criticism, but Hao Dong, who has not scored a goal since the start of the World Cup.

He believes that Troussier will definitely let the defenders focus on marking Adriano. In the group stage, Adriano was brilliant. Although he only scored two goals, his involvement and pulling in the frontcourt What team would ignore such a player but created countless opportunities for other players?Although Hao Dong is well-known in Asia, he is over [-] years old after all, and his sluggish performance since the start of the World Cup will make the Japanese unconsciously ignore him.

But Milu still put his treasure on Hao Dong. You must know that although a veteran like Hao Dong cannot maintain a very high state like a young man, he can still play several games wholeheartedly. In the last game, he hid Hao Dong for nine to 10 minutes. In addition to allowing Hao Dong to get enough rest time, he also made Hao Dong feel the crisis-in this case, it is often the player who broke out. when.

****************************************
There was nothing unusual in the first quarter of the game. From the beginning of the game, the Chinese team and the Japanese team started to entangle in the midfield. The Japanese's skills are really good. They even overwhelmed the Chinese team in terms of the number of overseas players in the midfield. In addition to Hiroki Morishima, Hidetoshi Nakata played for Parma in Serie A, Shinji Ono played for Eindhoven in Eredivisie, Shunsuke Nakamura, Sun Chenghai and Adriano are Arsenal teammates-although this teammate also Haven't played a few games with them.

However, the defense of the Japanese team in the midfield is not too tough. Their four midfielders are all offensive. Although Junichi Inamoto is a defensive midfielder, his attacking ability seems to be stronger than his defensive ability. , So after being entangled in the midfield for a while, the Chinese team began to hit the ball to the striker's feet relatively quickly, using their defensive gap at the front of the penalty area to attack.

Adriano's performance was as active as ever. He frequently pulled out from the penalty area to meet the midfielder, which put a lot of pressure on the front of the penalty area of ​​the Japanese team. Live the active Adriano.

Adriano's physical fitness is difficult to control for Japanese defenders who are relatively weak in confrontation ability. Among the four Japanese defenders, Koji Nakata is the tallest and strongest. He is only 1.8 meters tall. It's far away, and the referee Collina has a good grasp of the scale of physical confrontation, so Adriano is at the front of the Japanese team's penalty area like a fish in water.

After turning around and volleying with two feet in a row, Masaki Masaki made great difficulties. Under the roar of Troussier, the Japanese team's defenders gathered two defenders to defend Adriano, right back Matsuda Naoki returned to the penalty area to help defend Hao Dong.

Of course, Troussier will not relax his defense against the other outstanding stars of the Chinese team. He believes that the offense of Junichi Inamoto and Hidetoshi Nakata can suppress Deco and Nie Fei, while Sun Chenghai, who has a strong assist ability, will hand over The three capital masters were given to defend. Anyway, the two are on the same side. The three capital masters' offensive ability, defensive ability, physical fitness and speed are all quite good. Even if Sun Chenghai wanted to suppress him, it would not be so easy. matter.

Troussier is very satisfied with his arrangement. The four players of the Chinese team are definitely super Asian. Although the other players are also very good, they are only at the top level in Asia. It is absolutely impossible to lose to the opponent.

As long as the situation is at a stalemate, the Japanese team with a technical advantage will definitely consume less energy than the opponent. As long as nothing happens, the Japanese team will gradually gain the upper hand in the second half of the game.

Maybe the victory will come very late, maybe it will be delayed until overtime, but Troussier is not in a hurry, he has enough patience to wait for the moment of scoring.

What he didn't know was that Milu was also waiting for the moment when the defenders of the Japanese team completely ignored Hao Dong. At that time, Hao Dong's old gun would let the Japanese know that although the gun is old, it still works!

PS: The update of the 150th vote... I admit that I went to watch the women's football game before... No matter what, the women's football girls are always trustworthy.

Do you want to watch the game tomorrow?What a shame.
