Greenery on the back

Chapter 389 15 Goal Differences
In the second half, the Saudi team only changed a few defenders to strengthen the defense, and did not make much change.

But the leading Huaguo team changed another style of play. They changed the 442 formation to 4141.

The defensive midfielder Liu Li switched to playing left back, while the forward Yang Kun was replaced by Wu Di, leaving only Chang Dian, who was the highest altitude, as a single arrow.

Among the four players in the midfield, He He and Chu Long remained in the same position, while Yue Feng and Wu Di changed to the central midfielder.

Zheng Zhineng made such a change based on the observation of the situation in the first half and several suggestions from captain Yue Feng.

"Saudi Arabia's central defenders are very poor. As long as the ball can pass to the penalty area, we can attack the opponent like Mount Tai."

"They hardly play on the wing, and even the wingers can only cut inside. We can tighten the defense and strictly guard the center, so that we can resist the opponent with fewer troops."

"Saudi Arabia's midfielders have a strong ability to control the ball. If we want to break their pass and control tactics, we need to increase our manpower and strengthen our pressing."

Several suggestions from Yue Feng in the locker room sounded in Zheng Zhi's ears again at this moment.

As the captain, Yue Feng's strategic vision is very good, which also gave Zheng Zhi an extra think tank, and this think tank is also the one who knows the situation on the field best.

Zheng Zhi also agrees with Yue Feng's judgment. In the first half, the Hua Guo team scored three goals, all of which were headers. It can be seen that Saudi Arabia's air defense ability is indeed weak.

In the entire first half, except for a corner kick, the Saudi team did not launch an attack from the side. Due to the lack of a high center forward who can fight against the Huaguo central defender, it is useless for them to pass from the bottom.

As for the troublesome pass control of the opponent, we must also find a way to deal with it, otherwise, if the opponent is so sneaky, the physical strength of our own players will definitely not last until the end of the game.

Therefore, in the second half, when facing the pass control of the Saudi team, Yue Feng, who switched to a central midfielder, quickly stepped forward to apply pressure, and the number of Hua Guo team competing for the midfield increased to five.

As soon as the opponent's central defender got the ball, Yue Feng quickly ran towards him, and He He and Chang Dian also blocked the central defender's path of the ball from left to right.

In desperation, the central defender had no choice but to pass the ball to the midfielder Aziz.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, Yue Feng immediately turned his head and chased after Aziz.

Under this high-intensity oppression, Saudi Arabia's brain, No. 4 midfielder Aziz also made a mistake.

When he avoided Yue Feng's pressure and turned around to pass the ball to the right back, due to his nervousness, he didn't kick straight with his feet, and the ball rolled towards Chu Long instead.

Chu Long's offensive ability was no less than that of Yue Feng, and he seized the opportunity to block the ball.

Afterwards, Chu Long passed the opponent's right back directly, and pierced the opponent's goal with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

3-0!

The victory seemed to come too fast, and the "West Asia Green Eagle", which was thought to be extremely difficult to deal with, was retreating steadily.

Kicking off again, Yue Feng and others continued to launch high pressure, which made the Saudi team's pass and control tactics invalid again.

The running speed is not slow, and physical confrontation has the upper hand. Coupled with the local numerical advantage, as long as the Huaguo players stand in a good position and perform their duties, they can overwhelm their opponents.

In the end, the Saudi players dared neither hold the ball nor play it easily, gradually appearing to push each other.

They pass one to the other, one pushes the other, as if the ball is a hot potato in their eyes.

The morale of the Saudi team plummeted, and several defenders were unable to concentrate on maintaining the integrity of the defense.

At this time, the weakness of poor tactical discipline was magnified, and the Huaguo team counterattacked again. Chu Long assisted the left midfielder He He and scored a single-handed goal.

4-0!

The Saudi team enjoyed the same treatment as the Uzbekistan team.But their defenders were largely responsible for the fourth goal.

When Chulong made the assist just now, none of the Saudi defenders was marking He He, and even when He He turned to face the goal after receiving the ball, a few of them started walking on the field.

Morale has plummeted, the morale of the army is unstable, the Saudi defenders have no discipline at all, and the ball cannot be passed from the midfield to the front.

Without the support behind him, the little prince Salman could no longer cause trouble for the Hua Guo team's restricted area. He looked at his teammates blankly, at a loss.

The game lasted for more than 70 minutes, seeing that the victory was decided, Zheng Zhi replaced Yue Feng and He He.

He needs to prepare for the next knockout round and save the players' energy as much as possible.

On the court, Zheng Zhi also asked the players to be more conservative, as long as they kept the winning result, so as not to be attacked by the Saudi team after replacing the main players.

After all, even with a four-goal lead, there is a possibility of being overturned by the opponent.

But the Saudi team did not get a respite because of this. The newcomers Ding Huo and Meng Haidong took advantage of the rare performance opportunities to repeatedly attack the opponent's defense.

After Yue Feng and He He were off the court, Chu Long took the ball more frequently. He led the attacking team to score another goal before the end of the game, as if he had been beaten to death.

In the end, Huaguo U19 beat Saudi Arabia 5-0.

After all three games were played, the Hua Guo team won all three games, ranked first in the group, and stood out from Group B with an absolute advantage of 15 goal difference and zero goals conceded.

This is also the best result among No.1 in all four groups of this Asian Youth Championship.

Teams as strong as Japan, South Korea and Iran have failed to achieve such a high number of goals, and each has conceded goals.

Huaguo U19 also became famous, and the domestic news was full of praise.

Many fans also specially chartered a flight to Vietnam, preparing to watch the Hua Guo team's next game.

Yue Feng received several messages from the WeChat group on the second day after the game.

"Master, I'm coming to Vietnam to watch you play football!" - Miao Qiujian
"We came in a group, haha." - Wu Cheng

"Junior brother, I will bring them here to cheer for our Hua Guo team and make Vietnam our home field!" - Yang Xingwu
"Me too..." - Liu Jiang

"What's the same? Are you the same as Master or are you the same as us?" - Wu Cheng

"Are you taking advantage of me, kid? /angry/" - Miao Qiujian
Yang Xingwu, a brother from Donglai Martial Arts Hall, brought several nephews to watch his match, which made Yue Feng very excited.

We learned from WeChat that Yang Xingwu and the others first flew from Liancheng to Songjiang, met Wu Cheng there, and then flew to Vietnam together.

With the support from his friends, Yue Feng felt that his fighting spirit also increased.

Fighting for the country by himself, behind him are fans who support him, which makes Yue Feng truly feel the glory.

After all the group matches were played, No.2 in Group A was also decided. The Australian team won the UAE 2-0 and won the final qualifying seat.

The Saudi team will also face the No. [-] Japanese team in Asia, and its tragic end can be expected.

Seeing that the opponent in the next quarter-final is Australia, Zheng Zhi frowned.

This team is no better than the Japanese team, and it is likely to become a stumbling block in front of him.

More importantly, this game is still a battle for tickets to the World Youth Championship.

There are only four places that can participate in next year's World Youth Championship, and the next game is the moment to determine the semi-finals of the Asian Youth Championship.
