Tianjiao midfielder

Chapter 134 On the Edge of the Cliff ([-])

Moreover, Zheng Zhi returned to the central defender again after many years. What kind of performance can Zheng Zhi play in the central defender position?You must know that Zheng Zhi played as a defender in his old age. Whether he was in Shenzhen, Luneng, abroad, or returned to China to Guangzhou Evergrande, he always played as a midfielder. It’s just from the front midfielder to the midfielder. After so many years, how much is there for the central defender? What’s more, the most important thing for the three defenders is tacit understanding. Zheng Zhi has not played central defender for so long.How Zheng Zhi, who is already 36 years old and approaching 37 years old, can defend the tall Uzbekistan striker is a problem that everyone is worried about.

Moreover, Gao Hongbo rotated ten starters at one go, which made many fans express that they could not understand Gao Hongbo's routine. After the game started, both sides did not attack blindly at the first time, but tried each other. The tragedy happened in the No. 14 minute. Both cutting inside and crossing from the bottom are extremely threatening.

Sure enough, there was still a problem with the three central defenders. In the 34th minute of the first half, Uzbekistan took a corner kick. The whistle blew almost immediately and a penalty kick was awarded.

Shukurov calmly advanced the penalty kick. Although Yang Zhi judged the right direction, Shukurov took the penalty from a very good angle and directly hit the dead corner.

After the first half, both sides failed to create other opportunities to enter the intermission. During the intermission, the data of China and Uzbekistan in the first half were given. Although the Chinese team always wanted to control the ball tactically, the actual situation was that Uzbekistan had 60% possession of the ball at their home court.

"I think if Coach Gao still wants to play ball possession, he really has to think about the midfield. Why put Zheng Zhi on top of the central defender and force him to play a three-central defender system? We all know that the three-central defender system is not the system we are most familiar with, and Zheng Zhi was recruited in this period. We don't know whether Coach Gao has practiced the three-central defender system many times in private, but Zheng Zhi has not been in the team for long. How can he get familiar with the three-central defender system that requires tacit understanding? In the midfield, change back to the four-back system, is it better to penetrate the midfield than it is now?" He Wei asked Gao Hongbo's formation with some doubts, these should not be said during the live broadcast, but he couldn't help it at this moment.

In fact, Gao Hongbo did not recruit Zheng Zhi because he likes to recruit younger players. The more important reason is that Zheng Zhi is an all-around midfielder.

When comparing the data between the two sides, the director of the midfield continued to show Chen Feng shots. The strong contrast in the midfield made the fans' calls for Chen Feng more and more loud. The national football fans who went to Tashkent also began to shout Chen Feng's name on the sidelines.

Gao Hongbo started to make substitutions at the beginning of the second half, but it wasn't Chen Feng that the fans kept shouting, but Jiang Zhipeng who replaced the injured Sun Ke in the first half with Zhang Yuning, which was a correction of the first half substitution mistake, but doing so was a waste of a substitution spot, and Jiang Zhipeng was very unhappy when he was replaced, and he didn't even give Gao Hongbo a high-five at the end, but went straight to the locker room. Gao Hongbo is not in the mood to pay attention to these things now. The most important thing is the situation on the field. I hope that after replacing Zhang Yuning, the offense of the national football team can be changed.

But it is not only the national football team that has changed. Uzbekistan also directly adjusted and strengthened the offense in the second half, replacing the international striker Sergeyev who was loaned to BJ Guoan.

In the 50th minute, Dewey made a mistake with a header from the left side of the backcourt. The striker Sergeyev, who was playing in Guoan, intercepted the ball from the right and then crossed it. Shomurodov took the ball and sent it obliquely.

The 2:0 deficit in the away game in Tashkent almost directly announced the death penalty of the national football team. The midfielder has not been improved and Uzbekistan has been under pressure. If it is not for the old goalkeeper Yang Zhi who is in good condition and saves two must-go goals, the Chinese team is already behind Uzbekistan by a big score at the Benyudko Stadium in Tashkent.

Gao Hongbo sat on the coaching bench with a dejected expression on his face. He fell behind 70-2 to Uzbekistan in more than 0 minutes. There was no advantage on the scene and he was always passive. This game has already been declared a death sentence. This is not the most important thing. After losing this game, they only scored one point in four games.

Time passed, and the time on the big screen had reached 10 minutes. Under the reminder of the assistant coach, Gao Hongbo realized that he still had a substitution spot in his hand. Hearing the voice of someone shouting to change Chen Feng, he simply replaced Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was a little surprised when the assistant coach suddenly called him to warm up. Originally, he thought that this game was the same as the last game, and he sat on the bench for 10 minutes. Although he was a little dissatisfied, it was not a big surprise. After all, he just joined the national team. When the position of the midfielder is so important, it is more reasonable for a new player to be a substitute.
