Midfielder Ruler

The Group A match between the Chinese team and Australia in the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten Tournament was held at Xi'an Zhuque Sports Center. There was still more than half a day before the match, and the periphery of the Zhuque Sports Center was already surrounded by a large number of people wearing red jerseys.

They all came from all over the country for the national team, and there were even foreign fans wearing yellow jerseys to support the Chinese team.

Of course, these were not Australian fans, but Dortmund fans. When they came to China for tourism, Tang Zheng's national team match was naturally not to be missed.

There are still two hours before the game time, and the Suzaku Sports Center, which can accommodate 50,000 fans, is already full of seats.

From a distance, it is a red ocean.

Among the sporadic, there is only a small yellow area belonging to the Australian fans of the visiting team.

The enthusiasm of the fans in Xi'an was fully reflected before the start of the game, so that the Australian team, which is used to seeing big scenes, was a little startled.

Because they know that this game will not be that simple!

The new Chinese team is based on Guangzhou Evergrande players. Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Peng and Wu Xi, two midfielders are Zhao Xuri's partner Zheng Zhi, three forwards Yu, Tang Zheng and Hao Hao. Junmin and Gao Linding are at the forefront of the striker.

The visiting Australia is based on overseas players, goalkeeper Schwarzer, defenders Neil, Bouskey, North, midfielders Bresiano, Kewell, Guerrera, Carney and Valeri, Cahill tops at the forefront.

Players from both sides walked to the stadium from the player tunnel. He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, said: "Australia is currently ranked 24th in the world and second in Asia, and the Chinese team is ranked 76th in the world and sixth in Asia. Not with the world ranking as a reference, but fans don't worry, we also have some advantages..."

"That's right, although Australia is strong, but in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, the Chinese team drew 0:0 with Australia in Kunming. Shao Jia even missed a penalty kick. In the last round of the group, Sun Xiang scored an away goal Small win over Australia."

Guest commentator Xu Yang added.

"So in terms of psychology, we will have a certain advantage." He Wei said.

In fact, they said this just to let the fans in front of the TV have a bottom line.

Those two world preliminaries were not worth reference. The draw with Australia was because the home field advantage was too obvious. Australia, which is accustomed to fighting on the plains, is not very adapted to the climate of the Kunming Plateau and did not play at its own level.

As for the last round of the group, it is because Australia has already qualified ahead of schedule, so there is no need to fight for the last game.

"beep~"

With the sound of Irmatov, the Asian golden whistle, the match between the Chinese team and Australia in the first round of the Asian preliminaries of the 2o14 World Cup in Brazil was officially announced.

The first kick-off was Australia, who was a guest. Cahill kicked the football to Kewell, and then ran to the defensive half of the Chinese team.

It was no different from other games. Kewell, who got the football, kicked it directly to the right side of the attack, hoping that Carney, who played as a midfielder on the right, could grab the football.

Carney grabbed the point, but he couldn't find his teammate when he returned. Zhao Xuri got it, and the Chinese team switched from defense to offense.

Through continuous passing, the football came to Zheng Zhi's feet. He wanted to hand the football to Tang Zheng according to the tactical requirements of the head coach Camacho, but the Australian midfielder Valeri followed Tang Zheng closely and never left.

Even so, Tang Zheng hooked his fingers towards Zheng Zhi, signaling him to pass the ball.

Zheng Zhi hesitated for a while, and passed the football to Tang Zheng.

Twenty-eight-year-old Valéry instantly became nervous and stuck to Tang Zheng.

But Tang Zheng didn't intend to take the ball and turn around to organize an attack.

He returned to Zheng Zhi, and gestured for him to pass to Hao Junmin on the right.

After passing the football, Tang Zheng shook his head helplessly, he knew that today's game would be very difficult.

Why?

Just now he signaled Zheng Zhi to pass the ball to himself purely to test how strong Australia's defensive firepower is.

In addition to Valeri inseparable, there is also a very experienced defensive midfielder Guerrera next to him.

The most important thing is that Australia's defensive position after switching from offense to defense is very good, and the distance between them is very good.

It seems that this Australian national team not only has the body, but also has a great tactical quality.

※※※

Australia played a rare four-five formation in the away game. It is not difficult to see that this is Poscot's fear of Tang Zheng's scoring and organizational skills in the midfield.

In general, Australia still has the advantage.

Only Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin are stronger than Australia in the Chinese team, so the situation will inevitably be inclined to Australia, which has a stronger organization.

However, the Chinese team has the advantage of the home court, and the Australian coach Poscot is very careful to choose a relatively safe counterattack.

This game is not only a round of the top ten in Asia, but also an away game, and it is also an understandable choice.

The commentator of the Australian national television station did not have much criticism for this, but the existence of Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin made him fearful.

Because Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin definitely have the ability to change the score in the Asian level competition, besides, Australia's golden generation is old, and the new generation of players has not yet grown up. Most of the players are now playing with experience.

Australia played cautiously, and it was difficult for the Chinese team to organize an effective attack when Tang Zheng was restricted, so half an hour into the game it was still o:o

The score was not rewritten, but that doesn't mean the game wasn't exciting. Tang Zheng sent a direct pass after getting rid of Valeri in the 19th minute. Gao Lin moved very well, but he didn't stop the ball well, which caused the shot to lose its angle. .

If the ball is received by Lewandowski or Barrios, 90% of them can stop in the best position and then kick and shoot.

The gap between strikers depends not only on the goal, but also on the connection between his stop and shot.

During the game, the striker has to face all kinds of passes from his teammates. He must make the most suitable way to stop the ball in the shortest time to facilitate shooting.

No matter which point, Gao Lin doesn't have it.

Of course, when the state is good, not necessarily.

Closer to home, the tactics Australia chose limited their offense.

Tang Zheng is a great threat on the offensive end, and at the same time, he can also pose a huge threat to Australia's offense on the defensive end.

They have to bypass Tang Zheng's coverage area when attacking from the position. Unless the positioning ball attack is very good, it is difficult to create a threat.

It's not that the overall defense of the Chinese team's set-pieces is so good, it can only be said that Tang Zheng's judgment of the football's placement is too sensitive, and Australia's proud set-piece attack can't get any benefits in front of the Chinese team.

Cahill, who is known as the king of headers in the UK, can't take any advantage in front of Tang Zheng. Even if he barely wins the header, he can't pose a threat to the goal guarded by Zeng Cheng.

At the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, Liu Jianhong, the commentator of Beijing Studio Central 5, reviewed the first half: "In the first half, there were offenses and defenses, but both sides chose relatively safe offenses in the contest about the qualifying situation. method, which also caused both sides to not perform very well on the offensive end. Tang Zheng, who played the attacking midfielder, was placed very far inside. In addition, the visiting team's double defensive midfielders Valeri and Guerrera defended him impeccably, often letting the ball pass. Let people pass..."

The Australian National Television commentator said about the end of the first half: "The conservative tactics of the head coach Poscot directly led to the inability to start the offensive smoothly. Kewell and Bresciano are too old, and their focus on defense will not be conducive to their participation in the offense. It’s not unreasonable to only have three shots in the first half, and I hope to pay more attention to offense in the second half. It is undeniable that Tang’s personal ability is very strong, but his teammates are not Dortmund’s European international stars...”

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. The Chinese team kicked off. The atmosphere of the game in the Suzaku Sports Center was still frenzied, and the Chinese fans in the stands spared no effort in shouting and cheering.

But if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to hear that the shouts of the major fan organizations seem to be disorganized, which makes people feel not very good.

The sound of cheering is not at one point, and the direct result is that the sound of cheering is more like noise.

It is difficult for the visiting team to calm down and organize an attack under such circumstances, and the same is true for the Chinese team playing at home.

The game was still going on in an orderly manner. Jian Gen, the president of the Shenzhen Fan Club in the stands, was directing the fans to spare no effort to cheer, and at the same time, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind - to establish a national fan club.

In the past, the fan clubs who cheered for the Chinese team were all based on the fan clubs of provincial clubs, and they were not unified.

Now that the football market is getting hotter and hotter, more fans come to watch the national team's games than in the past.

Thinking that every football power in the world has a unified national fan organization, but the Chinese team does not have a unified fan organization, which is undoubtedly a quick flaw.

If there is a unified fan organization to cheer and cheer for this game, the excitement of the Chinese players will be even higher, which will have a profound impact on the progress of the game.

Thinking of this, Jane Gen thought that after the game, he must talk to the presidents of the major fan organizations about forming a unified fan organization.

The game continued, and the Chinese team with Guangzhou Evergrande as the team showed a lot of fatigue on the offensive end.

Six days ago, Guangzhou Evergrande played a fierce AFC Champions League 1/8 final at the Tianhe Sports Center. The physical consumption was severe. Now they are playing the World Cup qualifiers in Xi'an, and their physical fitness has been greatly affected.

Head coach Camacho frowned and stood on the sidelines pacing back and forth. He was wondering if he should make substitutions and adjustments, but he turned his head and looked around the bench. He found that there was not a good player to replace.

As most of the Chinese players' physical fitness declined, Australia's offensive gradually increased, and Tang Zheng had to retreat a little deeper to make up for the decline in Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri's running enthusiasm.

Immediately, the Chinese team made a substitution, Yu Hai replaced the cramp Zhao Xuri on the stage, Tang Zheng retreated, his partner Zheng Zhi played a double midfielder, and Hao Junmin received the center.

The idea of ​​this substitution is obvious, and the team will recycle as a whole to avoid Australia being eaten by the opponent instead of being unable to eat at home. 8
