Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 667
The head coach of the Japanese team, Zaccheroni, once served as the head coach of Juventus, but that was two years ago. Facing the Japanese media, Zaccheroni didn't care much about Zhang Yuan's threat.

"Football is an eleven-man sport. Zhang Yuan does have the ability to change the outcome of a game, but it depends on the team after all. So I'm not worried about him. I'm more concerned about whether we can play our own style!"

Zaccheroni brought something very useful to the Japanese team. The Japanese team has made great progress in passing, receiving and attacking.

And Zaccheroni has always been full of confidence in his team. Before the top ten games started, he said that we don't care about the score, but only whether we can play what we want.

People don't care about the score because they have set their sights further. They are completely confident that they can break through from the top ten, and their style of play is also prepared for the 2014 World Cup. It ushered in two consecutive victories. The score was not particularly big, but the advantage was obvious. It was completely different from the Chinese team. Everyone was trembling and stumbled.

Since the Chinese team and the Japanese team both ushered in two consecutive victories before, the points are the same, and the Japanese team only relies on the advantage of goal difference to occupy the top spot, so the morale in China is high. The major media believe that this game is If you die, whoever can knock down can become the boss.

They also think too highly of themselves. Zhang Yuan refuted this statement when he was interviewed by the media.

"This is a contest that is not a dead end!"

"Why should we die, I think what we should do is try to take a point from their home court!"

Obviously, the whole country was filled with excitement, but Zhang Yuan mercilessly poured cold water on it!
Take a point? !What does this mean? !Cowardly before fighting? !Shouldn't this be the core figure of the team? !

Some netizens angrily accused Zhang Yuan of being cowardly before fighting and shaking the morale of the army!There are also some media who can't stand it, refute Zhang Yuan's argument, and elevate this game to national justice!Even the leaders of the Football Association approached Zhang Yuan for a conversation.

"Xiao Zhang, it is inappropriate for you to say these words at this time! Be cautious when speaking to foreign interviewers!"

careful? !Zhang Yuan really didn't know why he was so careless. Of course, the purpose of his report was to pour cold water on the outside world.

The national football team has not defeated Japan for many years. Zhang Yuan is very clear about the situation in the national team. To be honest, the players are under a lot of pressure under the exaggeration of the outside world, making this game like a life-and-death battle. From a perspective, every game is now a battle of life and death, but Zhang Yuan hopes that the team will be less stressed.

This kind of virtue has always been on the Internet. Before the game started, the national football team was highly praised. When the game started, if they lost, they blamed the players, thinking that the players were bad and did not fulfill their responsibilities!
It is no wonder that the national football team does not make mistakes against strong opponents under such pressure. The strength of the Chinese team is much worse than that of the Japanese team. Being able to tie the opponent and get a point is a very good result in itself!

Zhang Yuan is not the captain, but during the team training, this guy is not restrained at all, he has been preaching his one-point theory, as long as we can get one point, we should be satisfied, who is not convinced by the outside world, when the time comes I will bear it.

Originally, the established tactical strategy of the Chinese team was like this. It would be Amitabha to score one point against the Japanese team. The leaders of the Football Association said that they were talking about Zhang Yuan, but the plan in their hearts was also the best way to score points. The key is not to be in Oman. , It is best for Jordan to lose points.

The Chinese team changed their formation during the tactical training, playing 451 instead, with a striker in front, and Zhang Yuan is still a central midfielder. In view of the poor ability of the players to get rid of the ball and pass and catch the ball, the midfielder hoarded 5 players and pulled each other. The short distance is to be able to wrestle with the Japanese team in the midfield.

For Zhang Yuan, he thinks this kind of thinking is correct. The focus of defense cannot be shifted back from the beginning. This is very risky, and the focus should be placed in the midfield.

After intense preparations, on September 9, the Sino-Japanese war started in Yokohama, Japan, and the Japanese team really suffered.

Of course, there are several factors for this. One is that the Japanese team itself does not attach much importance to the Chinese team. Their strength is much stronger than that of China, and their thinking is too relaxed. Don’t look at the polite words of the Japanese players in the interviews before the game. But it’s not like that on the court. The second is the sudden change of the Chinese team and they are more prepared than the Japanese team. The third is that the Chinese team’s goal is very clear and pragmatic. sufficient.

Due to several factors, the Japanese team had nothing to do with the Chinese team. Even Zaccheroni was not very optimistic about Zhang Yuan, and almost broke through the Japanese team's goal with a free kick.

But in the 84th minute of the second half, the Chinese team still lost the ball. The decline in physical fitness caused the players to fail to do a good job in defense, allowing the Japanese team to seize a mistake in the defense and score the only goal of the game.

In the away game, the Chinese team continued their invincibility again. Zhang Yuan and his teammates worked hard, and he did not blame anyone. After the game, he comforted his teammates. As for the head coach of the Chinese team, Camacho, he didn’t care about such issues at all. , If you lose, you lose, it has nothing to do with him.

The performance of the Chinese team may be criticized by the domestic media again, but it has been recognized by the Japanese team.

"Today's game was very difficult. It was a bit beyond my expectation. We didn't play well. On the contrary, the opponent's defensive organization was very tight, which didn't leave us with too many opportunities! But to win an important victory, I am also satisfied with the game!" Although Zaccheroni expressed satisfaction after the game, he also praised the Chinese team, but in fact his heart was already full of vigilance.

He thinks that Zhang Yuan alone can't change anything, but in fact Zhang Yuan has changed a lot today. After the position was moved back, the Chinese team developed a complete midfield operation system around Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan is not a midfielder, but he is. Relying on their own body, relying on their ability to control the ball, and being able to cooperate effectively with teammates who are closer to them, the Japanese team did not do a good job in encircling Zhang Yuan in the midfield.

Zaccheroni only got to know Zhang Yuan again at this time, and it turns out that he is really powerful and difficult to guard against!The main reason why Zhang Yuan failed to score today was that the Japanese team also had tight lines, and he didn't have many chances to go from the midfield to the penalty area.

Shinji Kagawa, who exchanged jerseys with Zhang Yuan after the game, also said: "Today their organization work is in place, we played a tough game!"

When the reporter asked him what he thought of Zhang Yuan, Shinji Kagawa gave a thumbs up, "He must be better than me! But we are winners!"

The words also reveal the pride!
Naturally, the domestic media will not have many good things to say, and they lost again!There is a provocative sadness in the calm!

This is actually the voice of the majority of fans. The score is not important to them at this moment. The important thing is to play South Korea and Japan. The Chinese team should put in [-] points to win a victory.

Zhang Yuan doesn't pay attention to the criticism of him on the national football team on the Internet at all. He cares more about other matches in the same group. There is good news. Ranked second and three points higher than Jordan.

This result is quite good. Zhang Yuan is now looking forward to Australia's hard-fought loss. The more losses the better.

So back in Turin, Zhang Yuan was in a very happy mood. After returning to the team training, Conte told Zhang Yuan during the training that he wanted him to take a rotation. Why did he take a rotation? Because the match against Genoa was on the weekend. , and in the middle of next week, Juventus has an important event, and that is the Champions League away game against defending champion Chelsea.

Conte obviously hopes that Zhang Yuan can get a timely rest, eliminate the fatigue of long-distance travel, and find the best state before the match against Chelsea.

Of course, Zhang Yuan has no objection. Compared with the appearances in the league, he obviously hopes that he can make a big difference in the Champions League. That is the defending champion Chelsea, an opponent he has never encountered before.

Of course, Conte did not only rotate Zhang Yuan alone. In addition to maintaining the integrity of the defense lineup, Conte also changed a lot of midfielders. His heart is eager.
