Greenery Reverses The Madness

Lippi was very happy about Ye Yifeng's return.

The World Cup preliminaries at the end of the year before last year left him hopeless.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had his ace, Ye Yifeng, who had not been drafted, he would have almost wanted to resign.

The national football team has been updated, but there is no sign of vitality. Instead, in Lippi's eyes, it is a bunch of elm lumps, rotten wood that cannot be carved.

Lippi doesn't care about the addition of naturalized players.

Although Exxon is older, he is still the soldier he once led in Guangzhou, and he is very easy to use.

Before the match against Syria, Ye Yifeng and Lippi attended the pre-match press conference together.

Ye Yifeng was naturally the focus of the audience.

Asking him whether he was confident in attacking Syria, and what target seemed too contemptuous.

If Ye Yifeng dares to say that he only tries his best, that would be too embarrassing.

Therefore, the focus of the outside world is more on his coming to the national football team and the issue of running in with the new team.

This cannot avoid the issue of naturalized players.

Ye Yifeng's response was concise and to the point.

Naturalized players have been the focus of the national football team in the past two years. I don't comment on policy matters. My opinion is that people are always talking about the next generation and have a long-term view, but we have been discussing tomorrow today.

What our generation of players should do today is what I think is key.

Under the banner of populism, it can be said that naturalized players have left our local players no room for survival, and the national team has become completely different.

Instead of focusing on management, focus on yourself.

The trend of one generation being inferior to the next is already very obvious in Chinese football.

When one day the national football team consists entirely of naturalized players, it will actually have nothing to do with the lives of outsiders and will have no impact on them.

It only affects local players.

We say that China’s football population is small, no matter how small it is, there are still people who are engaged in this industry and regard football as their lifelong career.

A small population is no excuse for losing to naturalized players.

The core point is always whether you want to win or lose!

The reporters in the audience were thoughtful after hearing this.

Then someone started clapping.

Ye Yifeng was actually a little angry.

After several days of training, he was really disappointed by the strength of some local players in the team.

Take him out. In the past ten years, fans have criticized Zheng Zhi a lot. But when Zheng Zhi retired, they discovered that Zheng Zhi was actually the best national football player in the past ten years.

The reality is so cruel.

The addition of naturalized players has made the gap in the national football team more obvious.

In addition, Wu Lei has been in Spain for the past two years. He is not the absolute main player, but in terms of competitive status and physical condition, he is already the ceiling for local players.

The situation is not optimistic.

But in terms of combat strength, Ye Yifeng does not think that the national football team has regressed.

I really have to thank the Chinese Football Association for this.

The addition of naturalized players has made the national football team's forward line even stronger than before.

Before the war in Syria started, the domestic sports media followed Ye Yifeng's remarks and began to violently criticize local players!

In fact, many things are clear at a glance.

Both technique and body are the result of repeated training over time.

If you don’t strengthen, others will surpass you.

The Koreans proved that Asians have no problem with the physical condition of playing football.

The Japanese proved that Asians have no problem playing football with technical prowess.

But Chinese players have proven that everything is a problem.

The days of talent and genetics as excuses are over.

Because there will be more and more naturalized players in the national football team in the future.

Regardless of whether it's due to talent suppression or genetic disadvantage, nothing will happen if you don't work hard.

The national football team faced Syria at home.

The game is played behind closed doors.

When Ye Yifeng put on the captain's armband and led the team on the field, the Chinese fans in front of the TV almost cried with joy!

After two and a half years, I’m finally waiting for you!

Lippi arranged a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Yan Junling.

Defenders: Tang Miao, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Wang Shenchao.

Midfielder: Wu Xizhe, Zhang Xizhe, Ye Yifeng.

Forward: Wu Lei, Exon, Zhang Yuning.

Syria started with 442.

In the qualifying matches of the last World Cup, Lippi formulated a basic strategy.

When playing games within Asia, the team's offense will be more aggressive, using a 4-3-3 formation.

When it comes to key battles, it will be conservatively changed to 442.

When competing in the World Cup, the team will play 451.

Now that they haven't even made it to the top 12, the Chinese team must of course play proactively.

Moreover, in the key battle to qualify, you need to win in order to control your destiny in your own hands.

After the game started, Ye Yifeng passed the ball to his teammates in the midfield and backcourt to get into the game, and at the same time, he also got to know his new teammates.

After 10 minutes passed, Ye Yifeng began to speed up, but he found that the two full-backs of the Chinese team were staying in the backcourt without making any movement.

He gestured to Tang Miao and Wang Shenchao, asking them to take turns assisting the frontcourt.

The two of them started to move.

The offensive quality is a bit poor, at least based on the standards when Ye Yifeng competed in the Asian Cup. Now this team seems to not only need to be run-in, but also a problem of ability.

Not being able to control the ball in the frontcourt is a big problem.

Ye Yifeng simply played more simply and roughly.

Frequently sends long passes forward, either through balls, or instigating threatening attacks to hit behind.

The front trident fought very hard, but most of the time it was more like just messing around.

It's not about dawdling, it's about dawdling.

I can’t see the specific coordination ideas, so I just hit them wherever I go.

Syria is not stupid. If Ye Yifeng is not here, they will certainly have to fight with the Chinese team.

But Ye Yifeng pressed forward, and it was not like they had never suffered losses before.

The shadow of a famous tree.

Ye Yifeng's suppressive aura was enough to make them very afraid.

The Chinese team gradually picked up the rhythm. Although they played in a chaotic manner, they were able to repeatedly attack the opponent's defense line under the organization and instigation of Ye Yifeng. The three forwards had a chance to mess up the Syrian defense line.

In the 34th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng, who suddenly moved forward to the front of the penalty area, completed a steal on the Syrian player. After the steal, he smashed the ball past one person while adjusting with the ball, and then took a shot and blasted the ball away.

The quality of the ball was average, but the football jumped into the goal from one meter away from the right side of the goalkeeper's body.

If this kind of shot were to be attacked by the goalkeeper of the top ten teams in the Premier League, 99% of the time it would be impossible to score.

But since he scored a goal, Ye Yifeng naturally rushed to celebrate and did not want to worry about other things.

Chinese fans cheer and celebrate!

Stable, Ye Shen is the most stable!

After losing the ball, Syria began to switch from defense to offense, trying to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Ye Yifeng started to show long passes in the backcourt.

The two full-backs cannot be counted on.

Lippi also saw a problem and was disappointed by this phenomenon.

Because this means that although the Chinese team's forward line has been strengthened, the tactical pattern has been reduced in dimension.

Before the end of the half, Ye Yifeng's precise long pass found Wu Lei, who was offside, and the latter went to the meeting alone and easily scored another victory.

China team 2:0 Syria.

Half of the game is over, and the game changes sides and fights again in the second half.

Syria launched a fierce attack, breaking through the wing defense and then breaking through Yan Junling's ten-finger pass in the 54th minute of the game.

Ye Yifeng discovered some problems again.

When Syria strengthens its offensive, the number of goal kicks taken by the Chinese team will increase.

Yan Junling's goal kick is like blindly kicking forward with his eyes closed.

Basically his goal kick is simply returning the ball to the opponent.

After Syria recovered a goal, they continued their efforts. The conservative side of the Chinese team was reflected, and the team retreated more obviously.

Ye Yifeng is still the key to switching from defense to offense. In the 67th minute of the game, he once again launched a counterattack and fast break. A long pass found Zhang Yuning who was running wide. The latter passed the ball and sent it into the penalty area. Exxon outflanked and scored.

Chinese team 3:1 Syria.

Syria has not given up and is still stepping up its offensive.

The Chinese team has good fast break opportunities, but relying on long passes is not a long-term solution.

You can fight like this against Syria, but what about other opponents?

Ye Yifeng wanted to see the assist ability of the two full-backs.

In the 74th minute of the game, the moment of cheating came, and he directly selected someone from the rock group.

Just hope Xavi and Guardiola don't come.

Ferdinand popped up and he was satisfied.

When his consciousness returned to reality, he retreated to the back line and gave the two full-backs a death order!

Attack it!

The defense doesn’t need you!

He formed a back three with Jiang Guangtai and Zhang Linpeng.

He guards the middle.

Lippi was not angry with Ye Yifeng for taking the decision without permission. Instead, he cooperated and removed Exon and brought on Jin Jingdao to fill the midfield vacancy after Ye Yifeng retreated.

Ye Yifeng also gave Yan Junling a death order!

Stop being so aggressive!

Throw the ball to me!

If it's a goal kick, pass it to me!

As someone who has been competing in high-level competitions in European football, he really can't stand playing without ideas.

Training is just training, and training means you cannot see the problems that will arise in the game.

Now that Ye Yifeng has discovered a problem, he will correct it on the court if he can. If it doesn't work, he will look back and see how Lippi will adjust.

After all, Lippi earns 20 million euros a year, so he can't just set up a formation and then lie flat.

The two full-backs came up with assists, so there were no worries.

Then the effect of the kick made Ye Yifeng couldn't help but sigh: The food is real food!

Syria provided a good offensive environment, but they could not even provide decent support and cooperation.

Syria attacked fiercely, and Ye Yifeng was very decisive in pressing and intercepting from the back line. His performance as always made Chinese fans excited and worried.

What is exciting is that Ye Shen is still an all-around player.

The worry is that if things continue like this, Ye Shen seems to be not far away from starting as a goalkeeper!

Countless counterattack and fast break opportunities, if it were a slightly stronger team, Syria would have been nailed to the pillar of shame.

As a result, they did not score another victory until the end of the game when Zhang Yuning scored.

There is still a chance to get out.

competition is over.

China team 4:1 Syria.

Advance to the top 12.

After the game, Ye Yifeng understood Lippi's mood very well.

The national football team that reached the top of the Asian Cup in 2019 had gone through several years of running-in, and the players themselves also had a certain foundation.

Those national football players who have been scolded by fans one after another, if they were placed in today's national football lineup, even if they are not a treasure, you would not have the heart to criticize them.

But the players coming up now are more like the third line of the previous era, and there are no strong newcomers emerging at all.

The national football team won and the media praised it.

But neither Ye Yifeng nor Lippi was happy.

Both of them know very well that the full-backs of the national football team cannot bring offensive capabilities, so this means that they must consider abandoning the full-back offense and change their thinking in arranging formations and employing personnel.

The simple reason is that if the full-backs cannot effectively link up and support, why not go directly to the center back to further strengthen the defense?

Wouldn't it be nice to shrink up and strengthen defense?

After the game, Ye Yifeng didn't say anything more. Regardless of the draw result in the top 12, the game will not start until September.

He wants to go home now!
