All-around substitute

Chapter 133 Seeking a Counterattack
At the end of the halftime, the National Youth Team was temporarily behind 1-[-], and the technical statistics were released in the first minute of the end of the game.

awful!Terrible!

This is the intuitive feeling after seeing the data of the national youth game in the first half. It seems that the national youth team was directly beaten back before liberation in the first half of the game. It seems that the previous five games all happened in a dream. The national youth team is too weak up!
Statistics for both sides in the first half:
The ball possession ratio is 60.00% three vs. 30.00% seven.In the past five games, the average ball possession rate of the National Youth League was over 50.00%.The ball possession rate is 60.00%. Seven, it can be seen how passive the national youth scene is.

Into the 30-meter area 21 to 3, Iran has 21 times, the National Youth only three times, the attack was completely suppressed.

The number of passes is 152 to 79, and the pass success rate is 80.00% eight to 60.00% two.

The number of shots is 13 to 1, and the National Youth has set a new low in the number of shots!

The shot was 6 to 1. In addition to two goals, Iran also had a single shot and two goal beams.If you all grasp that the National Youth League has been bloodbathed, it is precisely because Iran did not grasp that it also gave the Chinese team hope for a reversal.Of course, this is just the view of supporters, and some people don't think so.

As soon as the game data came out, the fans watching the game were already talking about it.Before standing on the side of "the Chinese team can't offer a peak match", they had the upper hand in the entire public opinion, and they were extremely sarcasm about the Chinese team's halftime performance.

What kind of shooting, ball control, and passing are all black materials used to mock the Chinese team.Some people even said that the Chinese team was able to reach the final of the Asian Youth Championship because they bought the AFC, otherwise how could they reach the final with this strength.

In order to prove his statement, the fan posted the data of Iran's five games in the past, compared with today's half-time data, and found that this is the best data Iran has played since participating in the competition!
Compared with Iran's five opponents, the Chinese team is not as good as Jordan, let alone Japan, and even Singapore, which has lost all three games in the group stage.

As a result, these pessimistic parties clamored that the Chinese team should voluntarily give up the game and give up that precious World Youth Championship spot to South Korea, Saudi Arabia or Australia.

There are still many Chinese who hold this view. This is really a big forest with all kinds of dogs!Help foreigners scold their compatriots, and then feel that they are on the side of justice, and feel that there is nothing wrong with what they say.Others said about him, but he also said that he was seeking truth from facts.

When others say that no matter what they cannot scold their compatriots, he can say "football has nothing to do with politics and has nothing to do with national borders".

In my opinion, this kind of person is a fool. He only has a half-knowledge of "football has nothing to do with politics and has nothing to do with national borders". May I ask which World Cup is not the product of political wrangling?Has FIFA ever farted?It's not about making a fortune in silence.It's even more funny if it doesn't care about national borders. When the national team of the former Yugoslavia played, which time did the fans not get bloody?Tell others that "football has no borders"!

Facing the aggressiveness of the pessimists, the supporters did not have much refutation on the data against Iran. It is useless to argue with the facts.But when it comes to letting go of the World Youth Championship, the supporters have something to say.

Why?The Chinese team came up step by step, so why let them out?Taking a step back, even if they give up, they will not give up to South Korea and Australia. One group stage will be eliminated, one will be eliminated by Vietnam, and the Chinese team will wash Vietnam 8-0!Let China give the South Korean team a spot?My mind is collapsing!

On this point, the supporters and the pessimists started a fierce exchange of fire on the Internet, which was much more exciting than the game on the field!
……

Kerry couldn't take care of how fierce the fans were fighting outside the stadium, and he didn't want to know.The team's passivity in the first half was beyond his expectation.Not to mention that the players panicked, even he himself was a little at a loss.Throughout the first half, he didn't even think of a way to turn the situation around, except he went to the sidelines and shouted to the players to pay attention to man-to-man defense.

In the second half of the first half, Kerry forced himself to calm down and tried to observe Iran's offense and defense to see where the problem of the national youth's passivity appeared.

The sky paid off, and when Iran scored the second goal, Kerry suddenly came to his senses.The reason why the National Youth was passive was because the National Youth midfielder lost control and attacked!Can't get out!Defend!Can't defend!
Before the game, Kerry made several adjustments according to Iran's characteristics. Xu Zangyi replaced Xu Xin in the midfielder position, and Zhang Suwei played in the front midfielder.Kerry transferred Xu Zangyi from the front midfielder to the back midfielder in order to restrain Azmon's performance, but Kerry forgot that Xu Zangyi is not a pure defensive player, and man-to-man is not his strong point.

Collusion and movement are what Xu Zangyi is good at defending, not melee combat.

Kerry allowed Xu Zangyi to defend in the backcourt, not only limiting Xu Zangyi's offensive characteristics, but also exposing Xu Zangyi's weakness in close combat.

If the midfielder can't stand up, he can't help the offense. Zhang Suwei can only run back and forth in the front and back courts.At the same time, the midfielder could not form a barrier, and the back line was all exposed to Iran's attacking firepower.

Kerry is too afraid of Iran's strength, and he is always thinking about how to limit his opponents, which just throws away his own offensive characteristics.Fortunately, it was not too late for Kerry to wake up and react in time.

But Kerry woke up, but the player was beaten so suspiciously that he died.After entering the locker room, all the national youth players leaned in front of their wardrobes, bowed their heads and said nothing, which was no different from the fiasco of the Four Nations Games.

Kerry encouraged several times, but failed to change the mental state of the players.

"Xu! Come here!"

Kerry waved to Xu Zangyi who was sitting in the corner, indicating that he had something to say to him.

"Oh..." Xu Zangyi responded lightly, put down the clean jersey in his hand, and walked up to Kerry.

"Come on, young man!" Kerry put his right hand on Xu Zangyi's shoulder, pushed open the door of the locker room and walked out.

Xu Zangyi looked lonely, and Kerry saw it.Azmond scored two goals in a row, and Kerry knew that Xu Zangyi took all the blame on himself, which was too heavy for Xu Zangyi.The other team members have lost their fighting spirit, and Kerry doesn't want the "Dinghaishenzhen" he found to collapse like this.Kerry wants to restore Xu Zangyi's courage to fight. Only when he has the fighting power can he drive other national youth players!

"No! Mr. Kerry! I can't! I can't!"

When he heard that Kerry wanted to lead the team to counterattack, Xu Zangyi repeatedly waved his hands and retreated.In the first half, it was precisely because he could not restrain Azmon that the team fell behind by two goals.Lead the team to counterattack?Xu Zangyi did not have this confidence.

"You can! Trust me!"

"No! I can't guard against Azmon! I can't guard against him! How can I lead everyone to fight back?"

With a sad face, Xu Zangyi waved his hand to reject Kerry.Xu Zangyi failed to defend Azmond many times in the first half, and the frustration and sense of failure occupied Xu Zangyi's heart, which could not go away for a long time.

"It's not your fault that you failed to limit Azmon! It's my fault! I shouldn't entrust you with things you're not good at!"

"Listen! Xu Zangyi! Azmon doesn't need you to defend in the second half! All you have to do is organize a counterattack! In terms of position, I will give you the premise..."

At the tactical level, Kerry shifted the responsibility for conceding the ball to himself to alleviate Xu Zangyi's sense of guilt.In fact, it is precisely because of Kerry's overly cautious tactical strategy that Xu Zangyi's marking and restriction arrangements will occur.

Secondly, in the position of the formation, Kerry changed his position to allow Xu Zangyi to avoid Azmon, who caused him a psychological shadow.Aren't you afraid of Azmon?That's OK!You won't be allowed to have direct contact with him, just organize a counterattack with peace of mind!

"Then who will defend Azmon?" After hearing Kerry's adjustment, Xu Zangyi still asked Azmon worriedly.

"You don't need to think about this! You just need to organize the attack!"

"Also! The position has changed! It's your favorite. Do you have the confidence to fight a beautiful counterattack?"

"I...I...have!" Facing Kerry's pressing question, Xu Zangyi hesitated for a while before answering confidently.

"Hehe! Little guy! Go in!"

Kerry let Xu Zangyi go back to the locker room with a doting look in his eyes, and he didn't press Xu Zangyi because of Xu Zangyi's unresolute attitude.

Kerry knew that he had just gone through a crushed half, and it was impossible to restore confidence with a few words.The recovery of self-confidence needs to be recovered bit by bit on the court.Xu Zangyi can have the courage to fight on, which is enough for Kerry.

"Mr. Kerry, can this work?" The translator was a little worried.

"A kid who is only 17 years old! There are always times when his mentality is out of balance, so don't worry! As long as he succeeds once on the court, he can be resurrected with a full moon!" Kerry watched Xu Zangyi's back entering the locker room, his eyes full of confidence , Confident that Xu Zangyi can lead China to fight back!
……

"After the halftime break, players from both sides have returned to the field!"

"The Chinese team took the lead in making substitutions and adjustments, and Zhang Suwei replaced them! Zheng Darun is on the stage! What does Director Xu think of Kerry's substitutions and adjustments?"

"Zheng Darun has always been a defensive midfielder in the club. Kerry's replacement of Zhang Suwei should be dissatisfied with the defense of the midfielder! The intention is to strengthen the defense!"

"But the Chinese team is behind now? How can we attack if Zhang Suwei is replaced?"

"Xu Zangyi's premise! Let Zheng Darun play Kerry to get Xu Xin's role in the midfielder! He can not only intercept but also play the ball! In this way, the Chinese team has returned to the relatively familiar 4231 operation mode."

"Thank you Director Xu for the analysis, let's go back to the game and see if the Chinese team can play a beautiful counterattack after the halftime change!!"

He Wei and Xu Yang were in the studio, expressing their respective comments on the changes in the national youth personnel.

……

"Change the defensive player? I lost two of them! Is it too late to think about defending at this time! Haha!"

"It seems that there will be no tragedy!"

"Haha! Lose less and win! This is a slogan often mentioned by the Chinese! It seems that a leader called!"

"It seems that the leader who made the phone call knows football well! Haha!"...

"How could there be such a replacement?"

"Liu Bing! Wang Tong! Xu Zangyi! They can all be changed! Did you explode in the first half?"

"Can't understand Kerry's substitution? Zhang Suwei played so well in the last game! How could he be replaced?"

"That's what Kerry is capable of!"

"It seems that the national team is an insulator for the championship! You can't win the championship with this kind of opportunity, hey!"

The substitution adjustment of the Chinese team not only attracted some cynicism from the pessimists.Even the supporters sighed and were not optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team.

In the subconscious of the fans, falling behind means getting on the offensive player!Being on the defensive player is a failure, but I just can't understand it!
After a half-time break and substitution adjustments, how did the National Youth counterattack unfold in the second half?
