Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 537 Satisfaction
After half an hour of stalemate, the Chinese team finally helped veteran Hao Dong score a goal through Nie Fei's wonderful pass. For such a knockout match, one goal can often solve the entire game.

This goal also made Troussier's idea of ​​"relying on the whole to attack safely and catch the opponent's mistakes without making mistakes". In fact, the Japanese team did not make any mistakes in defense. They are very good They blocked the three most threatening offensive players in the Chinese team: Adriano, Nie Fei and Deke, but they ignored Hao Dong, a veteran player. This may be the only mistake they made.

After the game restarted, Troussier did not make any adjustments. He was thinking about a question: "Could it be that the Chinese team focused their offense on Hao Dong?"

Soon he overturned his idea. Although Hao Dong has rich experience and is considered a top-notch shooter in Asia, he is not as threatening to the Japanese goals as Adriano!The Japanese defender's physical condition is not very good, but his speed and reaction are not slow, which just restrains Hao Dong's strengths. On the contrary, he has nothing to do with Adriano's personal assault. Troussier asked himself if he would put Bao on On a weaker striker!

Just as the tasks he assigned to the two strikers Suzuki Takayuki and Nishizawa Mingxun were just harassment, and the task of scoring goals was handed over to the stronger midfielders-in fact, in the three group matches of the Japanese team. Of the five goals scored, only one goal was scored by striker Takashi Suzuki, and the other four goals were scored by midfielders, which is the embodiment of Troussier's thinking.

But he forgot that the responsibility of a striker is to score goals. It is impossible for Milu to send a forward who cannot score goals, and Hao Dongben
He is also a shooter with strong scoring ability, ignoring his deterrent ability is definitely Troussier's biggest failure in this game.

But now Troussier has no such awareness. After observing the game for a period of time, he has strengthened his thoughts-in the next game, Hao Dong is still just responding and pulling from the side, and the ball is more Still concentrated at the feet of Adriano, who can hold the ball and break through.

For example, in the attack just now, the Chinese team did not make much trouble in the midfield, but directly hit the ball to Adriano's feet. After Adriano took the ball, he turned around and broke through forcibly. Stopped him, and finally had to use foul tactics to bring him to the ground.

Nie Fei's free kick failed to hit the wall, and the Japanese team escaped.

"It was just an accident just now!" Troussier said to himself: "Their main offensive force is still Adriano!"

No wonder Troussier is so stubborn. In fact, Hao Dong had only two shots so far in the first half, one of which scored a goal, but Adriano had five shots. This time, if it weren't for the tenacious defense of the two central defenders and Masaki Masaki's beautiful save, Adriano would never have missed a goal.

With Ma Tian's long-range shot sliding past the goal, the first half of the game was over, and the Chinese team entered the second half with a one-goal lead.

Not only is the score leading, but the Chinese team also has the upper hand in terms of shooting data. In the first half, they shot [-] times, and [-] shots were within the frame range, while the Japanese team only shot [-] times, and the shots were within the frame range. Yes only three times.

In the midfield contest, the Japanese team did not fall behind. The reason why the Chinese team can achieve such a large advantage in the number of shots is because of Adriano. He can form a shooting opportunity almost as soon as he takes the ball. However, the forwards of the Japanese team did not have this ability. Suzuki Takayuki and Nishizawa Mingxun were completely submerged in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. Both of them had only one poor shot. If there is a chance to shoot, then the number of attacks of the Japanese team is simply too pitiful.

"The Japanese team's offensive methods are too simple!" Wenger sighed in the box and said, "But from the group stage, it can be seen that their top scorer is the midfielder Junichi Inamoto! Their two forwards are fast They are all good, but they lack physicality and their technical characteristics are relatively similar. If the Japanese team can have a standard center forward, maybe their game will be much easier."

"That's right, their two strikers may be better at grabbing points, but the Chinese team has never given them such a chance, and the slow midfield makes it impossible for them to counterattack smoothly... If there is an extra frontcourt With an impactful striker, the Chinese team may have a lot of difficulty coping with it." Benitez also agreed.

"In terms of midfield and defenders, the Chinese team may not be much better than the Japanese team, and may be worse in some aspects, but compared with the forwards, the Japanese team is simply not at the same level as the Chinese team, not to mention they seem to be more advanced. I despise Hao Dong..." Mourinho shook his head: "Perhaps this is why the Chinese team was able to dominate in the first half, but it was also the tactical opponent arranged by Milu."

****************************************
Obviously, Troussier also saw the problem that the three of them saw. At the beginning of the second half, he replaced Masashi Nishizawa with veteran Masashi Nakayama to increase the impact of the front line. Although Masashi Nakayama is only 1.7 meters tall Eight, but he is a standard center forward, both in terms of impact and header ability, which can play a very good role in alleviating the weak striker of the Japanese team.

After the start of the second half, the Japanese team strengthened their offense. Instead of slowly entangled with the Chinese team in the midfield like the first half, they kept hitting the ball directly to the side with quick short passes and then organized the attack, or Passing directly to the striker's feet allows them to rely on their personal ability to break through. Such a direct style of play may not be effective, but it brings a more direct threat to the Chinese team's goal.

In 1 minute, Ono Shinobu made a pass from the two sides. Masashi Nakayama went around the front point and shook his head to attack the goal. The ball slipped out of the goal slightly.

In 6 minutes, the Chinese team organized an attack. Hao Dong gave the ball to Adriano from the front of the penalty area. Adriano forced his way into the penalty area to shoot.

In 9 minutes, the Japanese team made a quick counterattack. After receiving the ball, Takayuki Suzuki quickly broke through along the sidewalk. After obliquely inserting into the penalty area, he shot from a small angle. Higher than the beam.

Perhaps it was Troussier's encouragement during the intermission that played a role. In the second half, the Japanese team played more proactively and finally equalized the score with a beautiful long shot from outside the penalty area by Hidetoshi Nakata in the No. 608 minute. !
Inamoto Junichi suddenly put in an assist to get rid of Deco's defense, Zhang Yiming had to step forward to make up for it, and then Inamoto Junichi cleverly distributed the ball to the unguarded Hidetoshi Nakata, who adjusted slightly at the front of the penalty area Immediately after a shot, he took a long shot, and the ball flew into the goal against Jiang Hai's fingertips.

After the goal, the morale of the Japanese team was greatly boosted, and they continued to launch a faster attack, but unfortunately, after only 5 minutes, the Chinese team once again exceeded the score!

Zhu Guosheng pushed the ball out of the penalty area in front of Zhongshan Yashi. Zhang Yiming, Deke, and Nie Fei made consecutive passes and quickly hit the ball up the frontcourt. Sun Chenghai, Sun Chenghai swayed from side to side continuously while running at high speed, finally shaking the three capitals in front of him so much that he lost his center of gravity, and then Sun Chenghai succeeded in getting down to the bottom and passed the ball into the penalty area!

This is not a long pass, but a short pass, and the ball flies directly to the forward point!
Adriano attracted enough defenders in the middle, Hao Dong circled to the front point like a fish, then jumped high towards the ball, and hit the goal with a powerful head shake!

A Bouncing Earth!After the ball flew into the small penalty area, it bounced on the ground, then changed its line and flew past Masaki Masaki's hand, and quickly flew into the near corner of the goal!
"The goal is scored! Two to one, the Chinese team surpassed the score again!" Huang Daxian shouted like crazy: "Hao Dong scored twice! The best striker in China in the 90s is still in good condition after entering the 21st century , although some people had doubts about him before this game... But he quickly responded to those doubts with a goal! If you don't score, you will lose, if you score, you will get two! Lian Po is old, and he can still eat. ?Maybe Hao Dong can’t eat much now, but he can score goals!”

The wind and clouds moved in the stands, countless flags began to sweep over the stands, and countless cheers came from the mouths of more than 1 Chinese fans. … Countless Chinese fans are cheering!
"Hao Dong! Hao Dong! Hao Dong!"

The cheers at the scene slowly turned into rhythmic shouting of Hao Dong's name, and after celebrating with his teammates, Hao Dong raised his hands above his head and clapped continuously towards the stands. There was no expression on the veteran's face. The excitement when scoring the first goal was replaced by a kind of indifference.

A kind of indifference.

Hao Dong is already satisfied. As a Chinese player, he has occupied the position of the main striker of the national team for nearly ten years. He has won the league championship in China, and he has been exposed to the highest level league in the world in Europe. Now, he has made another progress in the World Cup. He scored two goals... He really doesn't have any regrets anymore.

"Brother Hao, come back quickly, the game is not over yet!" Nie Fei yelled at Hao Dong enthusiastically: "Now we are only one goal ahead, we are going to chase after the victory, and I want to score one more!"

Looking at Nie Fei's young face, Hao Dong suddenly smiled, and nodded at Nie Fei: "Yes, winning one is certainly not enough!"
