Chapter 198 Old Problems

On the evening of July 7, Beijing Workers Stadium.

The opening game of the Asian Cup, the first round of Group A, the host China VS Bahrain.

Both coaches said before the game that the host is a double-edged sword.It will be a great help if used well, but once the scene is at a disadvantage, the pressure on the home team members will be great.

The Asian Cup is divided into four divisions: Beijing, Jinan, Chongqing and Chengdu.The longitude and latitude spans are very large. Who makes China have a vast land and abundant resources!
In this game, Alihan sent a 442 formation.Tang Wu, Shao Jiayi and Sun Taiyang, the three overseas internationals, all sat on the bench. It was not until 30 minutes into the first half that Alihan sent Shao Jiayi to replace the injured Li Xiaopeng.

Although it was 442, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Alihan had his own ideas.

The Dutch arranged Tang Wu's Olympic teammate Yan Song to the left, trying to create a channel from this side.The double forwards Li Jinyu and *** are required to pull the opponent's defense line and attract the attention of the opponent's defenders.

Zhao Junzhe, who originally played as a midfielder, was sent to the right, while Li Xiaopeng and Shao Jiayi, who came off the bench, were in the middle.

Alihan's idea is very real, that is, he wants the national football team to form a high position press after losing the ball in the frontcourt.Once the attack fails, don't let the opponent form a quick counterattack, and give the defenders some time to get back in place.

Such a lineup arrangement surprised and puzzled some fans familiar with the national football players.But seeing the 2-0 lead, everyone didn't say anything.

Although the scene was not full of gongs, drums and firecrackers, it was still full of fans.Some people were also a little dissatisfied when they saw that Tang Wu and Sun Sun didn't play. After all, they were personal fans of Tang Wu and Sun Sun.

Tang Wu was sitting on the bench. If nothing else happened, he would not have much chance to play in this game.

A few days ago, I went to NMG to play against the United Arab Emirates and also played 2-0. Alihan seemed to want to "make up" Tang Wu, so he still sent Tang Wu to start.

The United Arab Emirates is much stronger than Lebanon, so Tang Wu is now discussing with Sun Sunyang how to cooperate in the last game, and at the same time nest it in this game to see if there are any similarities.

"Brother Sun, look at this ball. What would you do if it were you?"

"Me? I wouldn't rush forward so recklessly!" Sun Taiyang said disdainfully.

In the field, the national football team is taking advantage of the corner kick opportunity to press hard.But Shao Jiayi's forward point was blocked by the opponent, and the Bahrain team took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The ball was kicked into the air by the defender, and No. 29 Huber quickly caught up with the ball by taking advantage of the top breaker's leak.Facing the approaching Zhou Ting and the attacking Liu Yunfei, Huber lightly flicked the ball into the net.

2 to 1, the Bahrain team pulled back a goal in the 51st minute of the second half.

"I'm guessing that the ball would be hanging in the air. I really didn't expect my teammates to miss the top." Even if he was scored, Tang Wu sat on the bench and analyzed, "But I can't let this striker pick the ball so easily and play well." If it goes well, maybe I can match him up."

"Indeed, based on your position and position selection, if you have this ability, you will basically not lose the ball if you are on the court." Sun Taiyang also echoed.

When the national football team loses a goal, the fans and coaches are the ones who react the most.

At the scene, Ali Han and the coaching staff hid their faces at the same time, and seemed unwilling to do so.The fans booed again and again. It was obvious that their own team was on the offensive a second ago. Who would have thought that a goal would be scored by someone after 1 minute?

This is simply too embarrassing!

But apart from the above-mentioned personnel, whether it is the national football substitute or the security and shooting personnel on the sidelines, all of them are expressionless, as if this should have happened.

"The coach is actually very good." Tang Wu gave a pertinent evaluation as he looked at his teammates who were kicking off again.

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Our coach played very well when he was a player. Regardless of his age, his thinking is quite clear, and his skills and tactics are relatively advanced for Asian football."

"Then how can you lose the ball?" Sun Taiyang is very talented.

"He doesn't understand the situation in Asia, and he doesn't understand our national conditions. It's too difficult to insist on applying the Dutch way to us. Except for Shao Jiayi and us, few people on the team can understand and understand His tactics."

Sun Taiyang touched his chin and thought for a while: "It is indeed so."

Putting aside physical strength and stealing skills, high-position pressing requires awareness.Whether it is the awareness of grabbing yourself or cooperating with teammates is very important.And this kind of pressing is generally completed collectively by all frontcourt players.If one or two people lose the chain, or if there are only one or two people to press, then there is no other gain except wasting energy.

Tang Wu knew this best.

Don't look at Tang Wu as the goalkeeper. When he was on the back foot at Chelsea, the three forwards he faced the most were the three forwards who robbed collectively.

Now let's see if Alihan can react.

After all, he has been coaching in China for two years. If he is still stubborn in this level of competition and continues his style, then the Dutchman will not be far from getting out of class.

Moreover, during the training camp, Alihan emphasized defense the most. For the national football team and himself, Alihan must not lose anything in the opening game.

In the 70th minute of the game, Ali Han replaced *** with the great Li Yi.Not long after, the last substitution was unexpectedly used up—Sun Sunyang replaced Shao Jiayi, who came off the bench in the first half.

"Brother Shao, here." Seeing Shao Jia walking towards him, Tang Wu handed over a towel.

"Fuck, I'm replaced before the kick is hot, I'm not happy!"

Of the three overseas internationals, Shao Jiayi is not the youngest, but he has the longest recovery period.Shao Jiayi, who was still recovering, was replaced for protection reasons. This reason was barely justified.

Seeing that he was about to win the first game in the opening game, Sun Sun, who had just played, drew a foul while defending on the right and gave the opponent a free kick.

Adnan's free kick did not land very well and was cleared by Zhou Ting.But the Bahrain players on the outside got the ball again and passed it to No. 8 Ali in front.

But at this moment, both defenders thought that the other side was going to stretch their feet to clear the siege, and at the same time they made a mistake.

After the ball rolled to Ali's feet, he shot directly. The ball rubbed the lower right corner of the turf and rolled into the net again.

Not only did the fans express their dissatisfaction loudly, Alihan and others were also dumbfounded.

Water?Why did it become like this?

2 to 2, the Bahrain team equalized the score at the last minute of the game and held on until the end of the game.

This kind of ending made many fans in the stands feel stuck in their throats.

It was originally a complete victory, but the score was tied by the opponent due to two mistakes in the second half.

If 3 points become 1 point, no one will be happy.

It's like eating half a rice worm during a meal. There is no other way but to pick up the half "corpse" and continue eating-after all, there is only one Chinese team.

In any case, the opening game of the national football team did not end in a loss, and the last trace of face was saved.

Except for the five shirtless fans below the stands with the words "Asian Cup Champion" painted on their bodies and some die-hard fans of the national football team, other ordinary fans did not give the players applause.

Even many people started to get up and leave the field after seeing the Bahrain team equalize the score. They did not believe that the score could be opened at the last minute.

In the words of the fans, the national football team is such a magical and strange team.He can always disappoint you in all kinds of weird ways when you are full of confidence, which you can't even guess before the game!

This is an old problem of the national football team!

"Mom, why didn't Brother Tang Wu play? Isn't he the goalkeeper? Wouldn't we win if he was there?" There was an immature question from the fans' aisle.

Facing the child who just entered elementary school, the young female fan squatted down and straightened his collar, "It's okay, brother Tang Wu will play in the next game, and we won't lose the ball by then."

"Then what if brother Tang Wu doesn't play yet?" the child asked curiously.

Looking at the child's innocent eyes, the female fan sighed: "If brother Tang Wu doesn't play in the next game, I'll tell your father not to take us to watch football."
