World Cup of Great Powers

Xiaoli has always been a nation that is good at summarizing.

It is precisely because of this that they have been able to achieve rapid progress in many fields.

In recent years, great progress has been made in developing football through various means.

But the emergence of Zeng Zheng has made Chinese football like a "neighbor kid", constantly suppressing the opponent.

At this year's Asian Youth Championship, after continuous "rectifications", Xiaoli Bamboo Shoes began to develop on an "increasingly" magical route.

Logically speaking, Xiaoli's ground ball control skills and small-scale passing and receiving coordination are already among the best in Asian football.

Although their individual combat capabilities are not strong, their teamwork is impressive.

Continuous ground penetration, repeated execution of tactics, coupled with the "axis strength" engraved in their bones.

Even if it didn't open up the game in the first half.

The second half will last 60 and 70 minutes, and they will execute their tactics as usual and score goals.

But after the Asian Cup match against the Chinese team, in addition to continuing to develop football skills and tactics, Xiaoli Bamboo Shoes also formulated a new strategy.

That is "the teacher develops skills to defeat Asia".

This strategy is divided into two steps.

The first is to send a large number of J-League players to transfer to Class A and Class B to learn from the experience of the Chinese League and at the same time understand the rapidly developing Chinese football.

For example, Nakamura Shunsuke, who has transferred to Jianglong, and Ono Shinji, who is negotiating a transfer with Luneng, etc.

These are the pillars of the national team in the future.

There is nothing wrong with forcing someone to learn from you.

But the problem is that the second part of Xiaori's strategy is very magical.

That is to develop taller and stronger junior players.

At first glance, this strategy seems unremarkable.

According to the selection of players for the Asian Youth Championship by Bamboo Shoes before the game, most of the players selected were taller than 1.8 meters tall.

Even some players with rough skills but good height were selected.

Such selection criteria that blindly pursue "body shape" are thanks to the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

The selection of Satota Nakazawa this time is precisely due to this selection policy.

Look around.

Apart from An Qi, the tallest player on the court is undoubtedly Satoshi Nakazawa.

Seeing Satota Nakazawa's height, even Tang Pengju couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Coach Zeng, do you think there will be a day in the future when the average height of Xiaoli will be over 1.8 meters?"

"of course!"

Zeng Zheng answered very definitely, "I think in twenty years, they will select a group of forwards who are over 1.9 meters tall."

"One meter nine? Oh my God!"

Tang Pengju was startled, "Coach Zeng, are you kidding me?"

"Am I kidding you? In my childhood, people liked to vaccinate and practice eugenics. This is a tradition written in their bones."

"Old Tang, do you believe it?"

"Today they issued such an order. Tomorrow their women will buy tickets at their own expense to go abroad, specifically to find a breeding partner who is over 1.9 meters tall, and then return to China to give birth."

What Zeng Zheng said made Tang Pengju and Chen Jinjiang stunned.

But if we recall the history carefully, we find that Zeng Zheng was not wrong in anything.

Chen Jingang said with emotion: "If you ask me, these days are like viruses. Once it fails, it will be updated immediately."

...

In order to deal with the Chinese Youth Team, Xiao Tian tried his best this time.

From selecting personnel to selecting coaches, to selecting formations and formulating tactics.

It seems that he must avenge his defeat in the Asian Cup.

However, by studying the opponent's match with the Iranian team, Zeng Zheng had already found the opponent's weaknesses.

At the 19th minute of the game, Xu Liang used his speed to beat his opponent on the left wing.

Morisaki Kazuyuki didn't check and was directly passed by Xu Liang with the ball.

Since the goal was scored directly from the corner kick.

Who doesn't know now that there is a black guy in the China Youth Team who has excellent left foot skills.

Morisaki Kazuki hurriedly followed and grabbed Xu Liang's clothes with his hands.

When the two of them stumbled to the line of Xiaori's penalty area, they faced the defense of other opponents' defenders.

Xu Liang fell down and rolled twice on the ground.

The referee blew the whistle immediately and awarded the Chinese Youth Team a well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt.

This is already the second frontcourt set kick for the Chinese Youth Team since the start of the game!

Recalling Xu Liang's superb and terrifying footwork, Fujitani Yosuke directly arranged a five-person human wall.

Xu Keham stood in front of the ball, constantly looking for a crack in the wall.

Fujitani Yosuke, who was 1.85 meters tall, directed the human wall back and forth for a long time. After settling it in a position that he was relatively satisfied with, he came to the gap between the human wall and the goalpost, without blinking.

Keep an eye on the ball.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle.

Xu Keham opened his legs without hesitation and rushed towards the ball.

As the arch of Xu Liang's foot touched the ball, Fujitani Yosuke lowered his center of gravity and got ready to save.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the ball flew out.

Fujitani Yosuke stepped forward and stretched out his fist towards the ball that passed over the wall.

boom!

Punch and ball fight.

The ball flew into the sky in an instant and flew over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

With just one punch, Fujitani Yosuke stopped the Chinese youth team's chance to expand the score.

Seeing this scene, the cheers of thousands of Chinese fans in the audience suddenly turned into sighs.

"Oh!"

"Just a little bit!"

"Just a little bit different."

"If this goal were scored, my little life would be completely over!"

"Oh, that goalkeeper is amazing, he can save the ball..."

After making a wonderful save, Fujitani Yosuke got up and kept swinging his right fist.

Several other young players also rushed to his side and touched their teammates' heads to show encouragement.

Although he prevented this inevitable goal.

But Troussier, who came specially to watch the game in the stands, sighed sincerely.

"When Coach Zeng is dealing with small children, he should use whichever is more practical!"

In the Asian Cup, Zeng Zheng has proved to Asian countries that no matter what the structure of "352" is, it is vulnerable to him.

But everyone is used to 352. What should we do if we can’t change it for a while?

The countermeasures for small days are simple.

Withdraw a striker and add a midfielder.

Kick 361!

Since the Chinese team likes to occupy the midfield so much.

Then once again increase the thickness of the midfield and use numbers to make up for the lack of personal ability.

This looks like an excellent solution.

But in reality, it is difficult to coordinate.

First of all, as the number of midfielders increases, the division of responsibilities will become more detailed.

If you are not careful, you may get a result of 1 1 < 2.

Secondly, the result of giving up the two full-backs and shrinking the three defenders in the middle is that the defense on the wing becomes extremely weak.

Just like the game against Iran on a small day.

Not long after the game started, Xiaotian exposed the weakness of its full-backs who are extremely afraid of players with superior skills.

After the Iranian players rushed left and right, they passed a series of high-quality crosses.

Satoshi Nakazawa is 1.88 meters tall.

But under such indiscriminate bombardment, it seemed powerless.

In this game, Zeng Zheng took advantage of this feature of Xiaori's formation and continuously launched attacks from the frontcourt and wide areas.

Xu Liang, Qu Bo, Yan Song and Yu Tao all have strong impact capabilities.

In the first 10 minutes, it was Qu Bo's breakthrough penalty that helped the Chinese Youth Team take the lead.

After suffering a loss, Xiaori immediately expanded the location of the foul.

Even so, it still failed to push Xu Keham's free kick directly into the goal.

It can be said that Zeng Zheng had no intention of talking about "martial ethics" from the very beginning.

In the 23rd minute, Yu Tao took the ball and passed Yuichi Komano with a beautiful change of direction, but Naohiro Ishikawa, who was returning to defense, immediately entangled him.

Although Yu Tao quickly got rid of Naohiro Ishikawa, his route to break forward seemed to have been blocked.

However, Yu Tao's goal has long been achieved.

He pointed his toes into the penalty area, and the ball rushed towards the opponent's penalty spot.

Fortunately, Fujitani Yosuke struck out in time and caught the ball firmly before Qu Bo fell to the ground and tackled the shot.

Afterwards, Xiaorizu immediately launched a counterattack.

Yosuke Fujitani passed the ball to Tsuyoshi Aoki, who immediately found Hisato Sato in front of him after receiving the ball.

Just like Qu Bo, Du Wei and others of the Chinese Youth Team are the most promising, the core player of the Nisei Team is Hisato Sato.

Hisato Sato, a forward from the Ichihara Jeff team, is affectionately known as "Nakata Nidai" among fans of the Little League.

This season, Saten's team is in poor shape in this year's J-League and has been on the verge of relegation.

Therefore, his parent team was not willing to let him play in the Asian Youth Championship.

It wasn't until two weeks before the Asian Cup that Hisato Sato trained with the team.

He also made a request to Hizuka Shoes. After the final game of the group stage determined whether he could advance to the youth tournament, he allowed Sato to return to his country and represent Ichihara in the relegation battle.

Later, because the Ichihara team performed well in recent games and had basically avoided relegation, Sato stayed.

In the previous game against Oman, Sato injured the front of his left foot due to a foot confrontation with his opponent, so he missed the rest of the group stage.

Because of this, Hisato Sato was able to appear in the game against the Chinese Youth Team after being fully rested.

As the player who scored the first goal for Xiaoli in this Asian Youth Championship, Sato said confidently before the game: "We have only one goal, and that is to defeat the Chinese team and win the Asian Youth Championship!"

In his opinion, it seems that as long as he defeats the Chinese Youth Team, the Asian Youth Championship championship is within his reach.

After receiving the ball, Hisato Sato began to cooperate with any teammate around him like hitting the wall.

He used fake moves that were just like the real ones, causing the defenders of the Chinese Youth Team to become confused.

After gradually penetrating the ball into the frontcourt, Hisato Sato, who saw the opportunity, directly took the ball and passed it through.

Maeda Ryoichi, who followed up and rushed forward, barely caught the ball and contributed a ridiculously wide shot.

Even so, Xiaori's attack can be considered a success.

More than 2,000 young fans in the stands also waved plasters in their hands to cheer for the team.

Immediately afterwards, the China Youth Team's counterattack came as promised.

However, Xu Liang's through ball was a little too late, causing Qu Bo to catch the ball after the start and the linesman raised the flag to indicate offside.

Although the ball was transferred, the Chinese Youth Team did not give up the attack directly.

The heavy accumulation of troops in the midfield directly intercepted Xiaotian's free kick in the backcourt.

Sun Xiang passed a very penetrating through ball directly from the wing, and it went straight to the feet of his brother Sun Ji.

But Sun Ji obviously didn't expect that Sun Xiang could pass the ball from such a distance.

He was a step too slow when catching the ball.

By the time he stopped the ball at his feet, his opponent was already close to him.

In desperation, Sun Ji had no choice but to knock the ball back.

But Yan Song doesn't care about this.

After receiving the ball, he took a long stride and sprinted directly along the wing.

After several big strides in a row, he took the ball and forced himself to the corner of Xiaori's penalty area.

Using his last bit of strength, Yan Song poked the ball in advance with his toe before losing the ball.

Subsequently, he was double-teamed by two junior players and fell to the ground.

Although the ball was lost, it created a good positioning ball in the frontcourt for the Chinese Youth Team.

After seeing the Chinese youth team get another free kick, the young coach almost gritted his back teeth.

"What the hell, here we go again?!"

Fortunately, this time Xu Liang only passed the ball, and Du Wei's header was also ridiculously deceptive.

The hearts of the fans in my childhood are now back in my stomach.

But just when they were still in shock, the Chinese Youth Team made a comeback a minute later.

Whether it is a high-altitude ball or at the foot, it is difficult for Xiaotian's offense to pass through the midfield.

This time, Xiaori wanted to take advantage of the large number of people in the midfield to cooperate in passing and receiving in a small area.

But after passing the ball several times in a row, he inevitably came into physical contact with the middle and youth players.

In the head-on collision, Wang Xinxin stretched out her foot, tripping Aomu Gang to the ground.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle.

In his opinion, Wang Xinxin just touched the ball first.

This time, the China Youth Team's quick counterattack directly penetrated Xiaori's defense.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qu Bo diagonally inserted into the Xiaori penalty area from the right, causing chaos in the opponent's defense.

Facing the double-team of the two men, Qu Bo did not continue to move forward, but took the ball and passed it to the back point.

Yu Tao on the other side quickly rushed out of the crowd and followed up with a kick.

Although Fujitani Yosuke didn't react in time, the ball just hit his ankle.

Satota Nakazawa caught up with the rebounded ball and kicked it out of the sideline.

It can be clearly seen from the scene that the Chinese Youth Team attacks three to four times on average, and only once in small days does it reach the penalty area of ​​the Chinese Youth Team.

For Coach Xiaori, how to improve the offensive success rate has become the top priority in the second half.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Seeing that it was about to enter the halftime break, the offensive rhythm of both sides gradually slowed down.

It seemed that the score of 1-0 was bound to be taken to the halftime break by the Chinese Youth Team.

In the 44th minute, Hisato Sato got the ball in the backcourt.

Facing the pressing defense of the Chinese Youth Team, he kicked the ball to Ishikawa Naohiro who was one step ahead of the center line.

After receiving the ball, Ishikawa pushed forward with his left foot, causing Yan Song to stagger.

I thought he was going to hit Orc Sato for a one-two, but who would have thought that after this kid made a fake move, he stepped on the ball directly under his feet.

Seeing Yan Song lose his center of gravity, Ishikawa Naohiro immediately shifted his center of gravity.

While Yan Song's footing was not stable, he quickly pushed the ball to the other side and twisted to break through!

Yan Song's reaction was a little slow, and his stretched out leg only had time to trip Ishikawa Naohiro.

However, the opponent only stumbled, and quickly stabilized his center of gravity and continued to attack forward with the ball!

Ishikawa's breakthrough immediately opened a loophole in a short time.

As he ran, he observed his teammates.

Maeda Ryoichi and Sato Hisato are already crossing positions.

The pull from his teammates also opened up a gap for Naohiro Ishikawa.

Seeing this, Ishikawa Naohiro immediately made up his mind to go it alone!

Facing Eric Mu who was coming from the side, Ishikawa Naohiro made an emergency stop and avoided the opponent's tackle.

Wang Xinxin also came from the middle at this moment.

Due to Eric Mu's early self-decision, Wang Xinxin was left alone and did not form a double team with her teammates.

Taking advantage of the assist moment, Ishikawa Naohiro suddenly stopped the ball, and then moved the ball horizontally again.

A change of pace made Wang Xinxin stunned, and the space behind him was instantly revealed.

After crossing into the gap behind Wang Xinxin, Ishikawa Naohiro directly raised his right leg and followed up with a shot.

It is neither a powerful thrust nor a precise push with the arch of the foot.

With a flick of his toes, a lob that looked both like a stab and a kick quickly flew towards An Qi's head.

Facing the incoming ball, Angel's eyes flashed on the line of the small penalty area.

After being taught by Zeng Zheng, he never got used to sticking to the goal line.

When he saw the ball rising into the sky, he only had time to take a step back before jumping up.

With a height of 1.92 meters and a wingspan, he should be able to touch this ball...

However, An Qi made a mistake.

Although he jumped very high and stretched his hands very long, the ball flew higher.

Not only that, the ball just passed his fingertips and immediately fell, grazing the lower edge of the crossbar and flying into the goal.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle and the goal was valid.

1 to 1?

Liu Jianhong's tone was full of regret.

"Xiaotian tied the score."

"In the 44th minute of the first half, Naohiro Ishikawa used a lob to break Angel's ten-finger barrier."

"This is also the second goal that the Chinese Youth Team has conceded in this Asian Youth Championship so far."

After An Qi got up, she put her hands on her waist helplessly and watched Ishikawa and other Little Days team members celebrating wildly.

In his opinion, the goal conceded just now was his responsibility.

His stance is too forward and too confident...

If the team loses the entire game because of this goal, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Teammates stepped forward one after another to comfort An Qi who blamed herself.

In front of the coaching bench, Chen Jingang and Tang Pengju also looked surprised.

"What the hell? There was such a player in my childhood?"

"Coach Zeng, we're showing our timidity!"
