Chapter 164: Conceding the ball first for the first time

Robben slipped past Zhuoyang like a sled, performing a sliding kneel. This is Robben's first goal in this World Cup, and it is also the first time the Chinese team has conceded the first goal in South Africa. In the previous three group matches, the Chinese team was the first to break the deadlock.

In the 18th minute of the first half, 'Peter Pan' Robben, who looked much older than his actual age, used his most iconic inward shot to break the Chinese team's goal. Before that, the Chinese team had clearly dominated the scene. Advantage.

As soon as the whistle blew, everyone at the scene and in front of the TV felt that the two teams seemed to be wearing the wrong jerseys. The white team should be the Netherlands, attacking aggressively like mercury, while the orange team cowered and retreated in the middle. They counterattacked unexpectedly, more like a weak force.

Rijkaard is not a frivolous person, nor is he an extreme coach who would rather die if he doesn't attack. The Chinese team is not a powerful football team with extraordinary abilities. Except for Zhuo Yang, their other players are not very strong even in Asia. After taking office in China more than a year ago, after a comprehensive inspection of domestic players, Jieshuai did not follow the traditional thinking of letting the team play defensive counterattacks. Instead, he took a unique approach and tailored a simplified version of the total offense and total defense tactics for the Chinese team.

Compared with total attack and total defense, defensive counterattack tactics are easier to organize and implement, and have lower requirements on players' personal abilities, but they require high levels of players' knowledge of the defensive system. As for the reality of Chinese players, take Li Weifeng, the best among central defenders, as an example. He is not considered top-notch in Asia. It would be difficult for him to play in Serie B and La Liga.

Of course, it is not impossible to defend against counterattacks like this, but Zhuoyang will be restricted by the tactical formation and unable to exert his full energy. If there were no Zhuo Yang, Jieshuai would definitely customize the anti-counterattack template for the Chinese team. However, without Zhuoyang, Rijkaard would not have come to China at all.

Therefore, the tactic of total offense, total defense + control flow has become the most suitable style of play for the current Chinese team. There is never the best tactic, only the most suitable tactic. As a Dutch coach, Jieshuai indeed has the best experience in this tactic. His successful coaching experience in Barcelona also makes him the best at these tactics.

If it were not for insisting on my own style of play and maximizing Zhuo Yang’s intimidation, it would have been impossible for the Chinese team to score 12 goals in the three group matches, nor would it have been possible to take the lead in every game. If we follow the traditional approach to counterattack, the Chinese team will most likely suffer small losses or draws in the first three games and have no chance of advancing to the top 16.

It's a pity that the shortcomings of Chinese players determine the strength of the team. No matter how advanced the tactics are, they still need people to execute them. Jieshuai is just trying his best to optimize the Chinese team as comprehensively as possible. He is not a magician who can turn stones into gold.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team still followed the total attack and total defense strategy with me as the main player to deal with the Netherlands, but they were soon fooled by their opponents who were fully retreating. The offensive then became more and more fierce, completely forgetting that after the full attack , and a full guard. be honest,

This is also a comprehensive portrayal of the tactical abilities of Chinese players.

For a team of the Netherlands' caliber, once they unify their thinking and launch a defensive counterattack, the midfield and backfield are almost impeccable, and the presence of famous attackers at the front end makes the Netherlands highly efficient in counterattacks. From this point of view, in fact, like Jieshuai's Chinese team, defensive counterattack is indeed the most suitable for the Netherlands today.

In the 18th minute, when Robben suddenly counterattacked with the ball, Rong Hao, who wanted to repeat the feat of blocking Eto'o before the game, no longer knew where he was being dumped.

With the three main players in the midfield absent, Jie Shuai took up Rong Hao, really wanting to use him to contain Robben's side. If the scene where Eto'o was almost eliminated can be reproduced, it will undoubtedly be another blessing for the Chinese team. But that time it was a coincidence. Cameroon's reckless attack and Eto'o's lone ranger style gave Rong Hao the opportunity to make a name for himself. But today's anti-counterattack Netherlands and Robben, who has a wider range of movement and more unique skills, gave Rong Hao a chance to make a name for himself. , which completely exposed Rong Hao as just an ordinary Chinese player.

If Robben is really to be banned, even if Rong Hao is just a scumbag player in other aspects, he will definitely be signed by a well-known team in the five major leagues. I don’t want you to do anything else, like meeting the Four Heavenly Kings, Six Swordsmen, and Eighty Arhats, please invite a great god, it’s up to you!

After receiving a sudden diagonal pass from Sneijder in the midfield crowd, Robben burst into the outside of the penalty area on the right wing and started his inward cut that "the whole world knows but cannot stop". A few fake moves that wanted to shoot but not shoot, made the three central defenders fly. Li Weifeng, Du Wei, and Feng Xiaoting almost formed a circle around Robben, but they still let him kick out from the gap. The crotch is stuck to the ground and slips into the blind corner.

The shot from outside the penalty area hit Wang Dalei's fingertips.

In the first round of the group match against Paraguay, Sun Hai received a red card for a flagrant foul and was punished by FIFA for an additional game. As of today's 1/8 match against the Netherlands, he has been lifted from the ban. But Jieshuai had no intention of letting him start. Although Sun Hai's overall strength in defense was better than Li Weifeng's, Jieshuai still abandoned him.

In the World Cup, everyone must put the interests of the national team first, which can also be said to be the interests of the country. In order to be a good captain, Zhuo Yang didn't even agree to the request of Kou Kou, who was already on vacation, to come to South Africa to accompany the team. Everyone must control their emotions. There are not many big-name stars in the Chinese team, but there are many big-name players. In the past, there were many big players gathered on the mountain, and the locker room was full of chaos. Now that Zhuo Yang is intimidating, no one dares to act like a big name anymore. Those behaviors that are done to vent personal anger and disregard the interests of the team must be stopped if they occur.

There is no need to communicate at all. Zhuo Yang and Jieshuai have a tacit understanding on refrigerating Sun Hai. Except for Zhuo Yang, the Chinese team can lack anyone, even Rijkaard.

Zhuoyang naturally encountered the special care of his brother Butcher De Jong today, as well as the assistance of Van Bommel, who has equally strong defensive strength. Compared with the intensity of Jia Ba Ye a few days ago, Zhuo Yang's intensity has improved a lot. A headache is definitely a headache, but this is not the expectation of a hearty competition between top players.

The Dutch team's formation is between 4-5-1 and 4-3-3, and the main focus is the midfielder. Detu and Fan Xian were handed over to Zhuo Yang, and it was enough for the others to deal with the rest of the Chinese team. Especially at this time, the Dutch team was leading the score, and the defensive counterattack was even more refreshing.

The Chinese team fell behind, and the players were eager to come back, but the enthusiasm of the offense could not be replaced by an actual threat to the goal. In the first half hour, the Chinese team took twice as many shots as the Netherlands, reaching eight, but only Zhuo Yang and Li Jinyu hit the door frame once each. On the other hand, the Dutch always faced real threats when they counterattacked, shocking the Chinese team into a cold sweat every time.

In the 32nd minute, Hao Junmin's dribbling in the frontcourt was intercepted by Van Bronckhorst of the Dutch team. The Dutch counterattacked smoothly again. Kuyt broke into the Chinese team's defense with a pass in the ribs after taking the ball. Du Wei had no choice but to stop Van Persie's shot with a yellow card and a penalty kick.

Van Persie personally stood in front of the penalty spot. Everyone present thought that this would be the end of the game, but they did not expect that this was just the beginning.
