After seeing the Chinese team replace a full-back with a center, Hiroto Motegi in front of the Japanese team's coaching bench was stunned for a while, as if he didn't understand why Dong Jianhai made such an adjustment.
When the team needs defense, a defender is replaced and a center is added.
There is no way he can let Zhou Zijing play as a central defender, right?
It’s not like they don’t have a central defender to replace Mao Jun, so he just sits on the Chinese team’s bench.
Later, when Hiroto Motegi saw the players changing positions on the Chinese team, he finally understood what the Chinese coach, who was five years older than him, had in mind.
"He actually wants to replace defense with offense and use offense to push back our offense?" Motegi Hiroto said to himself on the sidelines. "I admit that the Chinese team's offense is good, but their defense is worse. Nine times out of ten, it will be
The goal was conceded before the goal was scored..."
The assistant coach next to him said: "I heard that Dong Jianhai has been criticized in China, and such adjustments are not his style at all. Maybe he is eager to respond to those criticisms of him in this way?"
Motegi Hiroto curled his lips: "No matter what he thinks, he is just asking for his own death. Let the players on the field take advantage of the Chinese team's just-made drastic formation adjustment to strengthen their offensive and catch them off guard."
!I don’t believe they have practiced such a large-scale personnel change in advance, they will definitely make a lot of mistakes!”
※※※
Hiroto Motegi is right, the Chinese team has indeed never practiced the current formation and tactics before this game.
But they are not completely confused and are completely unfamiliar with the new positions and formations.
First of all, Luo Kai is relatively comprehensive and can play on the wing or in the middle. His physical fitness is no problem at all as a center. If there were no Hu Lai, he might be the official center of the Chinese team.
In the national team and the Olympic team, he also played as a center forward.
Changing Chen Xingyi to the right won't have any impact, because he is a player who can play on both sides. Few people know that Chen Xingyi's advantageous foot is his right foot, but he is also good on the opposite foot.
In the past in the Olympic team and the national team, he often switched positions with Luo Kai, so it was no problem for him to go to the right. But this time Dong Jianhai asked him to move back a little further, from winger to winger.
The midfielder forms the wings of the midfielder with Qu Lu who is lifted up from the left.
Qu Lu is a full-back but has stronger offensive attributes. In games, he often plays from the full-back position to the frontcourt and becomes a full-back. Now he is allowed to play as a left midfielder, and he has nothing to adapt to.
The only one with some hidden dangers is Jiang Wanqing. He played as a defensive midfielder for Shanhaimen and the national team. He has no experience as a central defender.
The defensive midfielder and central defender are both responsible for defense, but the specific requirements for defense are different. Therefore, it cannot be simply assumed that just because he can play defensive midfielder, he will definitely be able to adapt to the position of central defender.
But there is no way, it is impossible for everything to go as planned.
So even though he knew there were hidden dangers in this position, Dong Jianhai still made such an adjustment resolutely.
Because he needs to prioritize offense, not defense.
This is a gamble in the first place. When gambling, how can one wait until everything is safe and prepare countermeasures for all possible situations before placing a bet?
After buying and leaving, whether you win or lose depends on God.
A close-up shot of Dong Jianhai appeared in the TV broadcast. He was still standing on the sidelines expressionless, with his mouth slightly open, staring at the court intently.
Just looking at this honest face, one would never have guessed that he had just made a crazy gamble that no one had expected.
※※※
After Zhou Zijing came on the court, he and Luo Kai formed a double center forward, which gave the Chinese team two points in the frontcourt to compete for headers.
Hence, the Chinese team's offensive methods became simpler, directly kicking the ball from the backcourt to Zhou Zijing and Luo Kai.
This way they don’t have to worry too much about the Japanese team seizing the space behind them after attacking.
Soon they used this pattern to create a threatening attack. Xia Xiaoyu made a long pass from the backcourt and found Luo Kai. Luo Kai nodded the football to Chen Xingyi on the right rib with his head.
After receiving the ball, Chen Xingyi did not use his speed to force a breakthrough. Instead, he quickly passed the ball at a 45-degree angle and passed the football into the Japanese team's penalty area.
There, Zhou Zijing used acceleration to jump high during the sprint and hit the ball towards the top!
It was very difficult for Yamayama Kengo to clear the ball with a header during the chase. He could only try to interfere with Zhou Zijing. But the ball still allowed Zhou Zijing to hit the goal frame.
Had it not been for Nishiguchi Nobuo's wonderful save, the goal might have been scored!
Seeing this ball, Dillon said to Jin Tao: "Actually, Dong can definitely let Zhou go. After all, his header ability is a huge threat to the Japanese team. But I understand him, because if he doesn't make major adjustments to his tactics and formation,
In the case of Zhou, who should be removed from the lineup?"
Yu Jintao nodded in agreement. Zhou Zijing has been Hu Lai's substitute in the national team. If he is to be used, wouldn't he have to replace Hu Lai?
How dare Dong Jianhai... Hu Lai is the top scorer of the Chinese team. In the life-and-death battle with the Japanese team, he first put the top scorer on the bench. Is that crazy?
So Dillon is right. Without adjusting the team's formation and tactics, Zhou Zijing's position is actually very embarrassing...
This pillar center who scored nine goals and assisted five times in the Chinese Super League last season can only be used as a substitute in the national team. It has to be said to be a "waste" in a sense.
But there is no way, there is indeed no place for Zhou Zijing in the offensive system created by Shi Wuyin. After all, this system is based on the trident composed of Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, and emphasizes speed and flexibility. Among them, Hu
Rai is the core of the Trident, and his status is unshakable.
Zhou Zijing has no chance of winning if he wants to compete with the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Cup Golden Boot.
No head coach, as long as his brain is clear, will not give up Hu Lai and choose Zhou Zijing.
※※※
Hu Lai moved his position back because after Zhou Zijing came on the field, he no longer had to be at the front to attract the Japanese team's defensive forces as before.
He thought that he could try a few long-range shots, maybe it would work wonders.
Even though the players of the Chinese team are now aroused by the bloody spirit of head coach Dong, Hu Lai knows very well that, generally speaking, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage.
Moreover, after changing the formation, no matter how you analyze, everyone can adapt to multiple positions. After all, this 343 formation has never been played by the Chinese team before, and there is still a lack of tacit understanding of cooperation and the inability to adapt to the new formation.
If he can’t score another goal as soon as possible, Director Dong will lose this big gamble and even lose his pants...
So score the goal as soon as possible, the sooner the better!
So when the Chinese team made another long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Hu Lai did not rush forward. Some forwards would run forward when they were anxious, and then expected their teammates to pass the football.
Come here... No matter how you look for it, you can get the football to him.
But in fact, doing so is of no use and can only waste physical energy again and again. It does not mean that the closer to the goal, the greater the threat.
Hulai did the opposite this time and retreated from the center.
Luo Kai jumped up in front and hit the ball. He also chose to push the football back instead of rubbing it forward.
The football was pushed back to Zhang Qinghuan’s feet.
As soon as Zhang Qinghuan caught the ball, Japanese team midfielder Kazuya Kudo rushed up from behind and stretched his feet to try to steal the ball.
And Zhang Qinghuan made a beautiful V-shaped pull, and Kudo Kazuya, who stretched out his foot to steal the ball, missed the ball.
He couldn't stop the car and rushed forward. Zhang Qinghuan passed the football diagonally forward to Zhou Zijing, who was pulling back to meet him.
Zhou Zijing shook his head left and right to observe before catching the ball. He first pretended to turn to the wing, which attracted the full-back Yoshitoki Kiyota who was next to him to come forward and try to steal the ball from him. Even if he couldn't intercept the ball, it was okay.
Stay close to him and interfere with him, preventing him from easily getting the ball in the frontcourt.
But Zhou Zijing quickly turned back. He gently knocked the football to the left side of his body with the inside of his right foot and turned around at the same time!
In this way, he blocked Kiyota Yoshitoki behind him.
It was no longer possible for Kiyota Yoshitoki to steal the ball. More importantly... he allowed Zhou Zijing to complete the turn!
If the defensive player makes the center turn around, there will be big trouble!
Zhou Zijing turned to face the attacking direction, and he moved the football forward!
Central defender Takehiro Nakaoka is right in front of Zhou Zijing's attack with the ball. At this time, he must go up and try to steal the ball. He cannot let Zhou Zijing continue to lead him. If he takes two more steps forward, he may be able to enter the opponent's goal.
The shooting range allowed him to shoot directly!
Hu Lai, who had retreated earlier, started to turn around and run forward when Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball to Zhou Zijing, but he did not run fast and did not steal the limelight from Zhou Zijing.
So now even Kengo Yamayama is turning his attention to Zhou Zijing, turning his body sideways in that direction, paying close attention to the duel between Nakaoka Takehiro and Zhou Zijing.
Be prepared at any time. If Takehiro Nakaoka fails to stop the opponent, he will immediately go to help.
As for the space behind him, Kengo Yamayama left it to the left back Eiji Kawasaki who came from the center.
Of course, when Shan Qianwu turned to Zhou Zijing, he did not forget to glance at the middle road to confirm Hu Lai's position.
He found that Hu Lai had not pressed up yet, and was still a distance in front of him, looking unhurried...
But just when Shan Qianwu turned around and looked away, he didn't see Hu Lai, who was originally walking slowly and slowly, suddenly speed up and rush forward!
Zhou Zijing is also about to meet Takehiro Nakaoka.
I saw him gently pushing the football to the right with his left foot, and at the same time moving his body sideways, as if he had the intention of trying to pass someone.
Takehiro Nakaoka quickly moved laterally and continued to get stuck on the inside of Zhou Zijing. He took another step forward and planned to steal the ball!
At this moment, Zhou Zijing suddenly sent a through kick!
The ball was passed to the space behind Takehiro Nakaoka. The football quickly passed in front of Kengo Yamada, and he didn't even have time to stretch out his foot to destroy it!
At the same time, Hu Lai sped up behind him and rushed towards the penalty area like a gust of wind!
“Zhou Zijing...through ball! Good shot!!”
The Chinese fans in the stands cheered loudly.
“Hulai!!”
Shan Kenwu turned around and saw the back of No. 14 of the Chinese team, already about two meters in front of him...
Even if he wanted to foul and shovel...it was too late!
He could only watch Hu Lai run into the penalty area, catch up with Zhou Zijing's pass, and then raise his right foot in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Nobuo Nishiguchi...
Nishiguchi Nobuo rushed to his left side and Hu Lai's right side.
But Hu Lai did not shoot, but flicked his ankle and dunked the football to the other side!
Then the person jumped up and lightly passed over Nobuo Nishiguchi's legs!
“Hu Lai!! Hu Lai!! Hu Lai!!”
Hour Lai became the player closest to the goal amid He Feng's long-drawn-out roar.
He caught up with the football and faced the huge empty goal and chose to push with his left foot.
The scene that the Japanese least wanted to see happened...
The football rolls into the goal!
Hu Lai scored twice, and with another victory, the Chinese team re-extended its lead to two goals!
