Fox in the Penalty Area

On the TV screen, Tan Yunlong grabbed a header near the penalty spot and scored the goal.

The football goes over the bar.

The video stops here.

Marcos da Silva Carlisle, head coach of the Japanese national team, pointed to the screen and said to the Japanese national team players sitting in front of him: "The above are all the attacks of the Chinese team in this game. In this game, Hu Lai scored one goal, Zhou Zijing scored one goal, and the Chinese team scored two goals in total. We can see that their offensive is very fierce and they have an advantage in the field. Their midfield strength is very strong, so facing Against Syria, which is far inferior in strength, they can shoot 22 shots from the audience."

The translator next to him, after he finished speaking, translated the passage into Japanese and told the Japanese players.

Even though he has been teaching in Japan for several years, Carlisle still hasn't learned to speak Japanese. Of course, it is also possible that he doesn't want to learn at all——

It is indeed difficult for an old man in his sixties to learn a language again.

"In the match against the Chinese team next Monday, we must make full use of our overall advantages to contain them. Although they have a star player like Hu Lai, the strongest part of the Chinese team is their midfielder. Zhang Qinghuan and Xia Xiaoyu are their doubles. Playmaker. If you want to reduce the offensive threat of the Chinese team, you must contain their midfield..."

The players of the Japanese national team sat on chairs one by one, listening carefully to the translated speech of the coach.

It can be seen from their attitude that the gray-haired Carlisle has a high status in the hearts of these Japanese players.

Carlisle also deserves the respect of Japanese players.

As a famous Brazilian coach, he once led two teams in Brazil to win the Brazilian domestic league championship, one of which also won the Copa Libertadores. In addition, he once led the Brazilian national team to win the third place in the World Cup in 2010.

After the World Cup, he came to Europe to coach. While coaching in Europe, he led the Sevilla Navigators to win the Europa League, and went to the Premier League to lead London Bridge to win the league championship.

Later, he moved to Japan and coached the Japanese giants Osaka Victory, winning two Japanese 1st League championships and one AFC Champions League championship.

The Japanese national team, which was aiming to defend its title in the Asian Cup last year, was eliminated by the Chinese team in the top 16.

That defeat put huge pressure on the coach of the Japanese national team, Hiroto Motegi.

Then in the top 40, the Japanese team played unfavorably. They lost the first round of the top 40 to North Korea at home, and the second round away 1:1

draw with Uzbekistan. Although there were two rounds of double play against Tajikistan with a total of twelve goals, in the dialogue with North Korea and Uzbekistan, they still did not take advantage. The away game was only a small 1-0 victory over North Korea, and the home game lost 0-1. Uzbekistan.

At one time, the Japanese team's qualifications for the top twelve competitions were in jeopardy.

Public opinion in China turned against Yingtian, and Japanese fans complained.

In the end, the Japanese Football Association made a decision and fired Hiroto Motegi.

Carlisle, who has achieved great success in coaching in Japan, thus became the head coach of the Japanese national team.

Carlisle, who has such a rich and brilliant resume, naturally has nothing to say about his prestige in the locker room of the Japanese national team.

The 68-year-old Carlisle, when he first took over the Japanese national team, said that this would be his last time coaching the national team. In other words, the Japanese national team will be the culmination of his national team coaching career.

His goal is not only to lead the Japanese national team to the World Cup finals, but also to create glory in Japanese football and Asian football in the World Cup.

Once Carlyle took office,

He completely strengthened Tatsuya Sugiyama and established him as the core of the new midfield organization of the Japanese national team.

Originally, the core midfielder of the Japanese national team played for Royal Carter Hon Yonezawa Masao, and he could only serve as a substitute for Tatsuya Sugiyama.

The original head coach Hiroto Motegi swayed back and forth between Masao Yonezawa and Tatsuya Sugiyama, which also led to the team's offensive incapacity and poor performance. In the games lost to North Korea and Uzbekistan, the Japanese team was: Those who lose, as long as they can score a goal, they will not lose, but they just can't score.

In addition to Tatsuya Sugiyama being reused by the new coach, Junpei Morikawa is also being reused.

Although Junpei Morikawa has been entrusted with important tasks at the end of Hiroto Motegi's coaching.

But Carlisle's use of Morikawa Junpei is not the same as the rigid Motegi Hiroto.

Carlisle asked him to cover and protect the entire midfield, not to set him a specific position, but to ask him where he needed to go. Make full use of Morikawa Junpei's advantages of hard work and excellent physical fitness.

In order to give full play to Junpei Morikawa's characteristics, and at the same time not let the Japanese team's midfield fall into chaos, Carlisle arranged a midfield partner for Junpei Morikawa, the offensive and defensive balance Kakuda O.

The Japanese international is not a player studying abroad, but played for Osaka Victory in Japan. Carlisle used to be his head coach.

With him around, even if Morikawa Junpei lost his position occasionally, he didn't have to worry. Not to mention that Kakutao can also help Sugiyama Tatsuya connect the midfield and backcourt, he is a very useful all-rounder.

After some adjustments by Carlisle, the Japanese team changed from the original 442 to 451. The original absolute main force Yonezawa Masao and Kudo Kazu also sat on the bench.

With such adjustments, the Japanese team finally qualified for the top twelve with the status of the second place in the group with the best four results. avoid self

The shameful result of missing the World Cup for the first time after participating in consecutive World Cups in 1998.

※※The tactical meeting has ended, and the international players of the Japanese team returned to their respective rooms in groups, preparing to rest and recharge their batteries for the next day's training.

Sugiyama Tatsuya and Morikawa Junpei walked side by side. These two have changed from the former marginal main force of the national team to an indispensable main force core. They have also been fully trained in European football.

Sugiyama Tatsuya returned to Blue and White Munich after two seasons on loan, but he did not choose to stay, but transferred and left.

Went to Weisedov who just lost playmaker Vukovic. There, Tatsuya Sugiyama, who was already very familiar with the Bundesliga, quickly took over the space left by Vukovic and became the main force of Weissedov. And got his wish to mark the Champions League.

Not to mention Junpei Morikawa, he is the absolute main force in Leeds City. He cooperates tacitly with Pete Williams and Jay Adams, and has already been called the "Iron Triangle of Leeds City".

After losing Hou Lai and Kamara successively, the three of them are the indestructible "foundation" of Leeds City.

So in fact, not only the golden generation of Chinese football represented by Hu Lai has begun to shine in Europe, but the younger generation of Japanese football has also taken over the baton from the predecessors in Europe and gradually entered the mainstream stage.

Relatively speaking, among the top three in East Asia, only the younger generation of South Korea is slightly stretched.

Their representative Park Guixian is also in Europe, but he is not in the five major leagues. Whether it is the strength of the team or personal performance, compared with the geniuses of China and Japan, there is a little distance.

Perhaps Park Chun-tae, who was born before, was too dazzling—after all, he was able to enter the final ten candidates for the European Ballon d'Or and ranked seventh. Before Hu Lai, he was the highest peak of Asian football one by one used up the luck of Korean football...

Of course, now it's the Korean fans' turn to be sour, "Hu Lai won the Bronze Ball Award, and he has used up the luck of Chinese football for the next 100 years!"

"Junpei, I will leave it to you for the match against the Chinese team." Sugiyama Tatsuya said to Morikawa Junpei as he walked to his room.

In the tactical meeting just now, Junpei Morikawa was once again entrusted with an important task. He will be responsible for freezing the Chinese team's midfield playmaker Zhang Qinghuan. According to the tactics of the head coach Mr. Carlisle, although the Japanese team is playing at home, they want to beat the current morale The prosperous Chinese team is crucial to the struggle for control of the midfield.

Then Junpei Morikawa is an important figure in a solid defense.

Morikawa Junping's request to Sugiyama Tatsuya was very secondary: "Don't worry, Sugiyama-kun. I will go through fire and water and do my best!"

Even though Sugiyama Tatsuya was already familiar with Morikawa Junpei, he still couldn't stand the boy's chuuni aura, which was too offensive.

He waved his hand and said half-jokingly: "Normal games are fine, you say that, I'm afraid you will die on the court..."

But Morikawa Junping nodded with a serious face and said: "If you want to beat the Chinese team with Hu Laisang, you really have to have the consciousness to die on the court!"

Sugiyama Tatsuya didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, he could only grin: "OK... let's go..."

Then parted ways with Morikawa Junpei at the door of his room.

He dodged in and quickly closed the door, only to breathe a sigh of relief - getting along with Junpei is really a stressful thing...

Junpei Morikawa outside the door didn't know, and didn't care what Sugiyama Tatsuya thought of him. He took out his mobile phone, walked to his room, opened the WeChat group, found Zhang Qinghuan in it, and chatted with him privately:

"Brother Huan, our head coach Mr. Carlisle asked me to guard you in this game. Although I am very grateful to Brother Huan for taking care of me when I was in the flash,

But I will still go all out in the game, and I will ask Brother Huan for your advice! "

Not long after sending it out, he received a reply from Zhang Qinghuan, still in the voice:

"Why are you so polite, boy? Each is his own master. When the time comes, let's fight each other according to our own abilities, ha!"

Hearing Brother Huan's voice coming from the receiver of the mobile phone, Junpei Morikawa smiled.

This is the game he has been looking forward to for a long time, and he will never let down his waiting and hard work for so many years!

Hu Laisang, we are finally going to be rivals again!
