Chapter 91 Cypress Sun God
On March 3th, at the Hitachi Kashiwa Football Stadium in the island country, Yu Tian and Jingcheng Qianda challenged Cypress Helios away. Although they are far away in the island country, Huaxia fans can often be seen on the stadium holding banners to cheer for Beijing Qianda.

In fact, just after this year’s AFC Champions League, Bai Heyangshen thought that their only opponent was Jeonbuk Hyundai in the J-League. However, in the last game, Jingcheng Qianda bloodbathed Jeonbuk Hyundai, which completely overturned this idea.

In this game, Yu Tian tried to set up a new formation 3-4-3 formation.

Goalkeeper: 1 Wei Qi;

Defenders: 27 Wang Xiaoyong, 4 Huang Yi, 22 Wang Ming;

Midfield: 16 Zhang Yaotian, 8 Song Xufeng, 12 Ji Fei, 17 Zhang Chengdong;
Forwards: 13 Ye Bo, 11 Jamie Vardy, 21 Geng Zhonglin;
In this game, Yu Tian only had 3 players at the back, but don’t think it’s a purely offensive formation. In fact, the positions of the two full-backs will be pulled back a bit more than they usually are.

Because there are 3 central defenders, it is possible to have no defensive midfielder, so Yu Tian added 1 midfielder and [-] central midfielder in order to improve the ball possession rate. In terms of passing, Yu Tian asked the players to play the ball as quickly as possible and move the ball. Be patient in controlling the ball and do not rush into it. When necessary, try to pass back to control the ball.

There are not many head coaches who like to use the 3-4-3 formation, and Guardiola is one of them.

Yu Tian looked at the players from both sides who were warming up on the field from the coach’s bench. As expected, Daisuke Suzuki and Yuuki Otsu of the other side were starting the game. Yu Tian checked the starting players of Kashiwa Helios through the scouting system in his brain, and it turned out that the opponent was also the main player.

But Yu Tian didn't expect that Bai Sunshen would play a 4-4-2 disc midfield formation in this game. This is a typical defensive counterattack formation. Seeing this, Yu Tian also started to feel dizzy.

After the players returned from the warm-up, Yu Tian made the final arrangements with all the players before the match.

"First of all, we must press forward as much as possible, but we must be careful of the opponent's counterattack." Yu Tian was instructing.

"In this game, we have three backs, so the head coach of Bai Taiyangshen will definitely let their players attack our flanks, so Zhang Yaotian and Zhang Chengdong will have a lot of defensive pressure."

"In this game, we don't have a defensive midfielder, so Huang Yi, you continue your old job, mention the position of the defensive midfielder when necessary, and remember to make good use of your own talent." Yu Tian said to Huang Yi.

. . . . . .

After Yu Tian finished the tactical explanation with all the players, the game was about to start. After Yu Tian shook hands with the opponent's head coach Yoshida Dharma in a friendly manner, they each went back to their seats.

Jingcheng Qianda took the lead to get the kick-off right, and with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

"Hello, audience friends, I am commentator Wang, and we will bring you the third round of Group E of the 2015 AFC Champions League, Jingcheng Qianda vs. Cypress Helios," said Wang commentator.

"Since Jingcheng Qianda defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai by a big score, Jingcheng Qianda is already in Group E... Wait a minute! What about Song Xuefeng...?" Another commentator Zhang was talking, but there was a change on the field.

Jamie Vardy kicked the ball back and passed the football back to Song Xuefeng's feet through continuous passing. At this time, Song Xuefeng found that the opponent's goalkeeper was standing relatively forward, so he boldly shot from a long distance.

The soccer ball flew towards the goal of Kashiwa Taiyoshen. Kashiwa Taiyoshen's goalkeeper Kanno Takahiro broke out in a cold sweat. He ran back quickly and jumped up high to get the ball, but it was too late. Jingcheng Qianda took a 1-0 lead just after the game started.

"Wow! The ball actually went in, Song Xuefeng's super volley!" Zhang commentary continued.

After Song Xuefeng saw that the lob shot he tried casually turned out to be the best, he came to the sidelines and made a dynamic superman action. This action is a bit like Pogba's celebration action. The difference is that Song Xuefeng made it and then continued the game.

Two minutes before the start of the game, kick-off was about to start again. Ji Fei passed the ball to Ye Bo on the left by pressing down on Beijing Qianda.

Ye Bo took the football and charged from the left. Although Ye Bo is short, he has good strength. He is a winger with confrontation and speed, and he is also a four-star style. If there is no Li Long, the one who turned out might be Ye Bo. In fact, their styles are a bit similar.

Facing the foreign aid Kim Chang-soo from the right back, Ye Bo quickly slowed down and turned around, making a pass back, but of course it was not a pass back. After turning around, he stepped on the football instead of passing the ball with his left foot, and then knocked the front of the football with his left foot. The football flew behind him, and then Ye Bo spun clockwise again.

After passing Kim Chang-soo, Ye Bo started running with the ball again, and then came to the left side of the penalty area to make a direct pass, but he ignored that the forward in this game was Jamie Vardy, and there was no high point on the forward line.

Ye Bo's pass was too high. Although Jamie Vardy tried his best to jump to the highest point, he barely touched the football, but he couldn't shoot at all. Although the football was touched by Jamie Vardy, the football was only a little higher and did not change direction. The football flew towards Geng Zhonglin's direction.

But Geng Zhonglin didn't have a shooting angle, it was basically a 0-degree angle. After stopping the ball with his chest, Geng Zhonglin passed the ball in an inverted triangle to Song Xuefeng who was just about to enter the penalty area. Song Xuefeng stepped on the penalty area line and rubbed the inside of his right foot against the football. This time the shot still had an arc.

The fans on the field were already stunned. The island fans were amazed that Jingcheng Qianda was so strong, while the fans of Jingcheng Qianda were surprised that they had already led 8-2 in only 0 minutes. They guessed that Bai Helios should not be Jingcheng Qianda's opponent, but he did not expect the game to be so smooth.

"This... this. Go in... a goal!" a Beijing Qianda fan on the sidelines muttered to himself.

Yoshida Dharma, the head coach of Kashiwa Taiyangshen, scolded his players angrily on the sidelines. He conceded two goals in just 8 minutes. He was also frightened by the fighting power displayed by Jingcheng Qianda.

On the other hand, Yu Tian sat firmly on the coach's bench.
