Greenery on the back

Chapter 386
The weakness of the Saudi team is that the players are not as tall and powerful as the Iranian and other teams. The overall stature is relatively short, and they cannot fight air combat.

This is also the main reason why they are cowardly when they meet European teams.

In front of the strong European teams, the Saudi team's technology is not an advantage, and the body is suppressed, so it is easy to be attacked by the opponent.

Even in the World Cup, they often lost 0-8 to Germany and 0-5 to Russia.

Another weakness is that the players' team discipline is not strong, and the style of play is a bit sloppy.

Especially in the first match against Uzbekistan in the group stage, the defenders frequently made mistakes such as missing players and not filling in time, allowing the Central Asian Wolves to score two goals in a row.

If they hadn't been strong in the frontcourt and scored three goals ahead of the opponent, it would have been difficult to win the Central Asian wolf.

In the second game against Thailand, the team let down their vigilance directly after leading 3-0. In the last 10 minutes of the game, Song Sing of the Thai team found a chance to score a long shot.

This is in stark contrast to the Huaguo team who continued to attack their opponents when they led Thailand 5-0.

Therefore, Zheng Zhi also took targeted measures according to the strengths and weaknesses of the Saudi team in the formation of troops.

Judging from the situation of the Saudi team in these two group matches, Zheng Zhi guessed that the opponent will still play a 433-[-]-[-] formation, which is also very suitable for the Saudi team's current pass-and-control style of play.

Therefore, Zheng Zhi made a 442 formation on the tactical board, investing more troops in the midfield than the opponent, which is conducive to the competition for the midfield.

The starting lineup of the Huaguo team is almost the same as that of the Thailand team. The only difference is that the defensive midfielder Liu Li replaced the midfielder Wudi.

Faced with the advantage of Saudi Arabia's strong ball control ability, Zheng Zhi paid more attention to the pressing and interception of the midfielder, and directly hit the double midfielder.

At the same time, the Saudi team has mainly attacked in the middle in these few games, and the double midfielder will also help the Huaguo team to defend the most powerful part of the opponent.

In response to the weakness of the Saudi team's short stature, the Hua Guo team's attack tactics this time are still air combat.

The two big men, Chang Dian and Yang Kun, were in front, and the three long passers, He He, Chu Long, and Yue Feng, were responsible for delivering shells to them.

After arranging everything, Zheng Zhi also encouraged his disciples like Yue Feng encouraged Li Jie yesterday.

"Everyone, don't be under pressure. Even the bear of our national team is [-]-[-] against Saudi Arabia. We will go all out the day after tomorrow and we will definitely beat our opponent!"

"What's more, we have an advantage now. As long as this game is tied, we can qualify as the first."

At present, although the Huaguo team and the Saudi team have the same 6 points, their goal difference is far ahead of their opponents. As long as they do not lose the game the day after tomorrow, the Huaguo team will be able to squeeze out their opponents by virtue of their goal difference and win the group. First.

But the phrase "a tie will qualify" still made all the players shudder.

They, including their parents and grandparents, have heard this sentence too much in the national football team.

This is simply a curse.

"Can you not set a flag..."

"Why do I feel that we will be sucked to death by Director Zheng's words?"

"Don't aim for a tie, otherwise you will definitely lose. Let's work hard to win."

He He, Yang Kun, Lai Changcheng and others muttered in low voices.

At 10 o'clock on October 15th, the match between Hua Guo team and Saudi Arabia, the last opponent of the group, officially started.

The Saudi team wore a green jersey, while the Hua Guo team wore an all-red jersey.

Yue Feng was at the left back position, constantly observing the opponent's starters.

The head coach had carefully analyzed the situation of each player in Saudi Arabia before the game, and Yue Feng put them all right now.

As Zheng Zhi expected, the opponent formed a 433 formation in the starting lineup.

After Yue Feng glanced at the Saudi team, he focused on the No. 7 player of the Saudi team, the right winger Salman.

This is the only player in the Saudi U19 who has played in Europe and is currently playing for the Zenit club in Russia.

It is said that this guy also has a background in the Saudi royal family and is called the "little prince" by the media.

In fact, the children of the kings and princes of Saudi Arabia can be called princes. There are more than 1 princes in the whole country. Salman's prince status is just used by the media as a gimmick.

However, at the age of U19, he can gain a firm foothold in the Russian Super League, and Yue Feng dare not underestimate this little prince.

On Salman's left is Abdullah, the tallest center of the Saudi team except for the goalkeeper.

But this Abdullah is just in his early 180 cm, and is shorter than Yue Feng, and he is no match for central defenders Li Jie and Yang Zichen.

However, Yue Feng learned from the game video that this Abdullah is very good at shooting and has a strong ability to hold the ball. It would be a big mistake to ignore this person.

These two people were Yue Feng's main defense targets in this game. After "scanning" the two opponents, Yue Feng heard the referee's whistle to start the game.

In the first half, the Saudi team kicked off first. The "Green Eagles of West Asia" didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. They started to fall in the midfield.

Yang Kun couldn't hold his breath at first, and rushed straight to the opponent's backcourt to press.

However, the players of the Saudi team are very delicate in their footwork, and they cooperate with each other quite tacitly. The ball is passed under their feet, but Yang Kun is not allowed to touch it.

Seeing this, He He and Chang Dian hurriedly joined the battle group, and together with Yang Kun put pressure on each other.

As a result, the Saudi team took the opportunity to transfer the ball to the left back.

That area is the territory of the Hua Guo team's right midfielder Chu Long. How could Chu Long let the opponent control the ball so easily, and he stepped forward to press down.

Seeing that the four attackers of the Hua Guo team all rushed forward, Yue Feng cried out secretly.

Not long after the start of the game, one's own side was not yet ready to press in a high position. In this way, the teammates in the frontcourt rushed too hard, which would instead cause a disconnect between the midfield and the frontcourt.

At this moment, the opponent's left back made an oblique pass and handed the ball to Aziz, the No. 4 midfielder of the Saudi team, before Chulong rushed over.

Yue Feng knew that Aziz was a very powerful character, and his ability to distribute the ball and organize was very strong.When the ball reaches Aziz's feet, the opponent is likely to launch the first wave of attacks.

Sure enough, as soon as the ball was delivered to Aziz, the No. 4 player didn't even stop the ball, so he took advantage of the opportunity and passed the ball long to the No. 8 central midfielder on the right.

The No. 8 central midfielder is called Firas, and he is the metronome of the Saudi team. He almost controls the offensive rhythm of the whole team.

The Saudi team played against Uzbekistan before, and he suddenly served the ball in several attacks, which caught the opponent by surprise.

After receiving the ball, Feralas did not rush forward, but first pulled the ball sideways to the middle to attract the midfielder Liu Li to defend.

Liu Li got the trick and really rushed forward, but just in front of the opponent, No. 8 Feralas suddenly kicked up and quickly passed the ball to the right.

There, the little prince Salman is ready to catch the ball and attack the Hua Guo team's goal.
