World Cup of Great Powers

As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.

"Do you see what's over there?"

Chen Jingang followed Zeng Zheng's finger and asked, "Camera?"

"Yes, this is the Asian Youth Championship after all, and there are still on-site cameras."

"Coach Zeng, what do you mean?"

"I'm not interested." Zeng Zheng shook his head, "I heard that this Asian Youth Championship will be broadcast live in China, and there will be two commentators."

"Live broadcast? Good guy..." Chen Jinggang also understood at this moment, "We may not even have a recording and broadcast."

After the game started, neither side had any intention of competing for the ball.

As soon as the team gets the ball, they attack the opponent's half; after the attack fails, they return to their own half and the defensive players counterattack.

The two sides come and go, just like a turn-based game.

"No. 6, No. 9, No. 11, No. 13..." Chen Jingang looked at the list of Little Days for a while, "Coach Zeng, you almost guessed all the lineup of Little Days correctly again."

Zeng Zheng was not very proud.

This matter is similar to both sides.

As long as there are no surprise soldiers, it will be the same group of people coming and going.

Soon, Xiaoli's first wave of threatening attacks came out.

Taking advantage of a free kick less than two meters in front of the penalty area, Xiaotian took a direct shot.

The ball hit the crossbar at the far end of Liu Yunfei's position and bounced off the baseline.

"Ah, this ball is too dangerous."

The sound of impact from the beam shocked Chen Jingang and others.

"Coach Zeng, that No. 4 free kick is so good! We can't give free kicks easily again in the future!"

"The ball just hit was dangerous, but what we really need to pay attention to in my little days is not No. 4!"

Zeng Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Look, if No. 13 hadn't broken through with the ball just now, we wouldn't have been able to foul him and give him a free kick at this position."

"No. 13..." Chen Jinggang lowered his head and looked through the Japanese team's Chinese roster.

"No. 13, Shinji Ono, graduated from high school last year and currently plays for Urawa Reds of the J-League."

"The Urawa Ruby is on the same level as A-A."

After hearing this, Chen Jingang put down the list and laughed sarcastically: "Coach Zeng has a really good brain. When I was young, the names were too long, so I couldn't remember these things..."

Ignoring Chen Jingang's compliment, Zeng Zheng continued, "I also played 442 when I was young, but it's a little different from us."

"We are in a parallel position in the midfield, and their four midfielders are in a diamond position."

"No. 13 Shinji Ono is not only responsible for organizing the midfield and connecting the front and backcourt. He is also the main offensive scorer on the court at critical moments and is the third forward on the court."

"Look, he was also in front of the ball when the free kick was taken. This shows that he has very good footwork and has the right to fire the free kick."

"When we defend, we can't just guard the two forwards on the opposite side. If we miss him."

“I don’t know how many goals I missed!”

Zeng Zheng said while Chen Jingang nodded.

The style of play in this era is also very stylish.

Whether it is 352 or 442, when I was young, I liked to use an attacking midfielder as an invisible forward and then sneak attack on the opponent on the court.

One reason for doing this is that it is concealed and can sometimes catch the opponent by surprise;

The second reason is that the personal ability of the forwards in Xiaoli is not very strong. Even if they directly form a 3-forward formation, the offensive ability will not be improved much.

Generally speaking, the young players in the late 1990s not only had not yet developed their skills, but their bodies were not fully developed either.

It is perfect to use this formation with sneak attack capability.

"I didn't expect they had such a killer move in their formation." Chen Jinggang suddenly realized.

"Shinji Ono must pay attention to that."

Zeng Zheng continued, "I remember that the person named Hidetoshi Nakata participated in the last Olympics, right?"

"In other words, if he is not injured in the next Olympics, Troussier will probably build a team with him as the core."

Everything was just as Zeng Zheng guessed.

In the case of Troussier, Japan, Japan, and Japan, Shinji Ono is indeed the core of Xiaoli.

All offensive balls passed to the frontcourt will pass under the feet of Shinji Ono, and then they will be passed to the feet of the forward, or they will directly form a shot.

The Chinese Youth Team strictly followed Zeng Zheng's instructions and played defensive counterattack in the backcourt.

Even if the opponent is a teammate like Xiaori who does not have an advantage in height or speed, the Chinese Youth Team will not deliberately seek to control the ball.

Under Zeng Zheng's slogan of "attack when you have the opportunity, and return to defense immediately if you don't score", the game lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the China Youth Team finally seized a counterattack opportunity.

Riqing made a long pass and dropped the ball into the penalty area of ​​the China Youth Team.

Wang Xiao jumped up high and headed the ball directly to the top of the gourd.

Xu Yunlong, who was retreating to catch the ball, gave Zheng Zhi a slight push on the wing and safely diverted the ball to the side.

After getting the ball, Zheng Zhi did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Zhao Junzhe who came in front to receive the ball.

The Liaozu youngster took two steps forward with the ball, attracting more defenders.

It's about to cross the center line.

Zhao Junzhe looked up, suddenly raised his right leg, and made a long pass toward Xiaori's penalty area.

This long pass from the center caught the defense off guard.

Shen Han from the right wing jumped in at high speed, while defender Tejima Kazuki was obviously unaware that an opponent was already behind him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when his opponent misjudged the path of the ball and made a clearance, Shen Han, who was extremely fast, dunked the ball past the goalkeeper alone.

Facing the attacking Tatsuya Hashimoto, Shen Han calmly pushed the ball into the far corner and scored.

"Wow~~~"

The camera immediately focused on the only small group of Chinese fans in the stands.

These dozen fans sat together, and a red flag was spread out in the center.

Seeing Shen Han score a goal, everyone stood up excitedly and shouted the slogan "Come on Team China".

"The Chinese team scored a goal."

"The goal was scored by No. 10 Shen Han." The two commentators on Little Days were obviously a little disappointed when they said that the Chinese team scored the first goal.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Their two forwards are really too fast."

"Yes, he quickly ran behind our defender."

"Tejima missed the ball very badly."

"He should be more decisive in his actions and not always make slow rescues like this."

"But the Chinese team's No. 9 cross is also very beautiful."

"His cross was well placed and landed just in front of our back line."

"Team Nissei, come on, we still have time!"

One goal ahead, Zeng Zheng just nodded slightly, it seemed that he had everything under control;

After falling behind by one goal, Troussier's expression on the other side didn't change much, and he seemed to have expected it.

Unlike those domestic coaches who were infected by Zeng Zheng, Troussier just stretched out his hand from his coat pocket, called the numbers of several players, and gave some simple instructions.

He stood there again.

"Fake it, let's see how long you can keep it up!" Chen Jinggang complained in his heart.

"When we get to 4, you better still have this expression!"

However, the course of the competition did not develop in the direction Chen Jingang envisioned.

Xiaotian defended well after losing the ball, and the 1-0 score lasted until the end of the first half.

During halftime, the locker room was filled with laughter.

The players happily discussed the first half of the game.

Whenever I talk about which goal should be scored or not, I always feel regretful.

Seeing Zeng Zheng dripping eye drops, Li Hui said curiously:

"Xiao Zeng, what's wrong with you?"

“The right eye keeps twitching, maybe it’s because the sand has blinded it!”

"You've been wearing sunglasses all the time, but you can still be blinded by sand?" Li Hui looked unbelieving, "As the saying goes, if your left eye jumps to wealth, the right eye jumps to disaster."

"Xiao Zeng, your right eye keeps twitching, something bad must have happened."

"Bad thing? What bad thing?" Chen Jinggang also came over.

"What other bad thing could it be? It must be related to the childhood days next door!" Zhao Junhua was smarter for once, "We led him by 1 goal in the first half, can they be willing to let the game end like this? It must be behind their backs.

Let’s discuss how to deal with us!”

"Xiao Zeng, what are your plans for the second half?" Li Hui also became worried.

"Plan? No plan, just attack normally!"

Zeng Zheng didn’t know what kind of medicine was sold in Trousier’s gourd.

After scoring a goal in the first half, Troussier did not change his tactics.

Other than asking the players to strengthen their defense and focus, they didn't give many instructions.

How can France be willing to fail like this?

I won’t believe it even if I beat him to death!

From the beginning, Zeng Zheng planned to remain unchanged in response to all changes.

But until the end of the half-time, he didn't have any tricks in his little life.

Now that Li Hui and others were talking about it, my right eyelid was twitching wildly, which seemed to be related to this.

"Forget it, no matter what, let's score another goal first!" Zeng Zheng decided.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Yan, Li Yi, Shen Han, and Xu Yunlong increased their running distance with a gap visible to the naked eye.

In this era, many football players are from the track and field team.

When I was a child, I was a fast runner. When I grew up, I would use this skill to be selected for the football team.

In the China Youth Team alone, the four people mentioned above can run around 11 seconds in 100-meter time.

Not to mention that the team is still discussing this guy who can run under 11 seconds!

In addition, the buffs for the Chinese Youth Team chosen by Zeng Zheng are also related to speed. When these players run, they are almost like running at a speeding pace.

Often young people notice this but miss that.

At first, the kids were really confused.

But under Troussier's command, the formation shrank collectively.

Compress the running space of the middle and youth teams and increase the investment in regional defense.

This time.

The frontcourt members of the Chinese Youth Team have the speed of wild horses, but they lose the vast grassland.

When the tactical requirements changed from speed to strengthening the coordination of passing and receiving in a small area, compared with the former, the Chinese Youth Team struggled a bit.

Often, before the midfielder of the China Youth Team passes the ball, he is pressed by two or more opponents.

It took a lot of effort to get the ball out, but due to interference from the opponent, the pass went astray.

In the end, although the time of possession was increased, the offensive efficiency was greatly reduced.

At this moment, Troussier on the other side finally took action.

In the 64th minute, when Li Yan was dribbling the ball in the frontcourt, looking for a fighter opportunity, two defenders suddenly rushed out of the Xiaori penalty area.

The sudden attack by two defenders caught Li Yan off guard.

With a mess at his feet, the ball was immediately intercepted by his opponent.

After stealing the ball, the Xiaotian player made a through pass and passed the ball to captain Shinji Ono's feet.

The latter took the ball and accelerated across the center line, then pushed with his right foot and kicked out an arc.

At this moment, the Chinese Youth Team was still switching from offense to defense, with only Zheng Zhi, Wang Xiao and Liu Yu on the back line.

Shinji Ono's cross just hit the middle of Wang Xiao and Liu Yujian. Masashi Motoyama, who was running forward, chased the ball with all his strength. The moment he touched the ball, he kicked it directly and pushed the ball towards the goal of the China Youth Team.

Liu Yunfei flew forward, but still missed by a hair.

The ball flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal.

The Japanese youth team equalized the score.

After stealing the ball from the double team, whether the Japanese youth team penetrated the middle or passed the ball from the midfield, it was exactly the same as the Chinese youth team's first goal.

"This..." Chen Jinggang was also a little confused, "This is quite similar to the goal we scored!"

"Is it a coincidence?"

Zeng Zheng frowned, "No, it doesn't seem like a coincidence."

Waiting for the reaction of the coaching staff of the Chinese Youth Team.

Five minutes later, the Japanese youth team used a quick double-team in the frontcourt to steal the ball from Li Yan's feet, and then quickly launched a counterattack.

This time, Zeng Zheng on the sidelines could see clearly.

The moment Junichi Inamoto and Ryo Kachi stepped forward to encircle the ball, both midfielder Shinji Ono and the two Nissei forwards had already turned around and faced forward.

After receiving the pass from their teammates, No. 9 Naotai Takahara, No. 10 Masashi Motoyama, No. 11 Yasuhito Endo, and No. 23 Ryuuji Toto were all already preparing to move forward.

At this time, the last midfielder turned around to catch the ball, and the other players continued to move forward.

When Endo Yasuhito made a long pass, Xiaotian had already formed a 3-on-3 situation in the frontcourt.

This time, I found No. 10 Motoyama Masashi who was on the sidelines again.

Since there was no advantage in numbers, Zheng Zhi could only make up for it alone.

However, Zheng Zhi's experience at this age is still very immature.

Facing the opponent's intrusion, he subconsciously made a steal.

As a result, the ball was kicked to the opponent's calf and rebounded again. Not only was the ball not intercepted, but the opponent dribbled the ball through the defense zone.

Once Zheng Zhi missed it, the remaining middle and youth players became even more passive.

At this time, Zhongshan Yazhi, who was dribbling the ball, saw Liu Yunfei standing forward and decisively chose to take a shot.

When the other Chinese youth players caught up, the ball had already bypassed Liu Yunfei's fingertips, hit the lower edge of the crossbar, and bounced straight into the net.

“Beep!

"

The whistle sounded, and the Japanese youth team completed the lead 2-1.

Looking at the young players celebrating together on the field, Zeng Zheng turned his head and happened to see that guy Troussier looking at him.

Zeng Zheng, who kept his arms crossed, snorted lightly.

Okay, this French guy has a few tricks up his sleeve!
