1283 The stalemate
The World Cup semi-finals between the Chinese team and the Netherlands are not very fierce. The two teams will only face each other in key areas of their respective defense zones. After all, they are all teams that are defensive and counterattacking. The counterattacking forces are not large, and the defense is to concentrate firepower to kill the opponent's offensive threat in key areas.
The Dutch team's long-range shot was not painful, but the key was that the starting position was too far from the goal. If it weren't for the shocking world wave, it would probably not have caused Chen Jingjie any panic.
After adjusting the offense, the Chinese team's unilateral wings were in a state of disarray.
Huang Zichang ran to attack Guo Xuantu, which further compressed his relatively loose space. At the same time, after being educated by Brinde on the right, Huang Zichang's performance began to decline sharply.
Whether it is the pressure brought by the semi-finals or the intensity and technical value of the two teams' fights in this game, Huang Zichang's ability level is a bit unbearable!
It can only be said that his abilities are in line with the performance he has made under the current circumstances!
If the Dutch team attacked the Chinese team for halftime, the Chinese team would play against the Dutch team's counterattack under sufficient space.
Then Huang Zichang may still have some room to play, just get rid of defense and just push forward and then pass the ball to create opportunities.
However, under the situation where the opponent is defending it, even if he changes to an opponent who is one level lower than the Dutch team's defensive strength, Huang Zichang's performance may not be very strong.
The strength level within the Chinese team has actually changed dramatically in the past two years.
Luo Cheng, Luo Xin, Zhao Fenghua and others have gradually widened the gap with substitutes in the past four years. When Situ Yunbing took office, their substitutes were Chen Binbin, Huang Zichang, and Duan Liuyu. It is undeniable that substitutes have also improved for many years in Europe, but the speed of progress and growth is not as fast as Zhao Fenghua, Luo Cheng, Luo Xin and others. At the same time, they have also been approaching the standardization in the past two years. To put it bluntly, the ceiling of talent is not high, while Zhao Fenghua and others can still rise slightly. At the same time, the experience accumulated by honing their accumulated skills in high-level competitions has enabled their comprehensive strength to grow rapidly.
Maybe it will be almost done in two years, but the gap has already widened within the team.
A clever woman is hard to cook without rice. Situ Yunbing has never complained about anything. If it weren't for the Dutch team's weak offense today, he wouldn't have been able to put Huang Zichang in the starting position.
I can only say that if the Dutch team does not show three forwards, it is not necessary to increase defense, and adding another forward seems to be meaningless now.
Huang Zichang moved to the left to assist Guo Xuantu not only failed to form a positive and effective connection, but instead became a drag because Guo Xuantu would take the initiative to cooperate with him, but Huang Zichang's sense of position adaptability after controlling the ball was a bit poor, and most of them would be intercepted by his opponent and concealed the ball.
Seeing that the first half was about to end, Situ Yunbing was thinking about the adjustment of the intermission break.
Depe also tried a long shot after dribbling the ball from the side of the frontcourt, but unfortunately the football flew straight into the stands and did not create any threats.
Ronald Coman sighed in his heart, and he had no choice.
If the Dutch team is world-class in defense, then offense is definitely the second-rate level in Europe, not even first-rate, and it is even more impossible to be top-level!
After all, they don’t even have a strong regular seal center!
At the end of the first half, Koeman and Situ Yunbing turned around and walked towards the player's passage. The two of them walked in the same pace. They turned their heads and looked at each other almost at the same time. After their eyes met, they both found the helplessness in the other's eyes.
This game made both coaches feel powerless.
There is almost no room for adjustment.
As long as the defense line is safe, there is nothing to worry about. Whatever the attack can be played is probably just to be destined.
After Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, he made a quick decision to make a substitution adjustment.
Reschedule the second half of the game tactics.
The defense has nothing to adjust. After all, the Dutch team has almost given up its penetration into the Chinese team's penalty area and only shoots cold arrows outside the penalty area to try their luck.
There are not many things that can be done on offense.
The idea is nothing more than liberating the martial thunder.
If you expect He Haolai and Huang Bozhou to be able to reach the frontcourt and pass a wonderful pass during the attack, it would be absolutely whimsical.
There is only one player in China who can cope with today's complex situation and create threats to position war organizations, Zhao Fenghua!
Unfortunately, he was in the stands today.
Apart from Zhao Fenghua, there is no second one. Even if you look at the history of Chinese football, you can't find a second one!
If it weren't for Zhao Fenghua's experience in Valencia in the past few years, he would probably not be able to deal with this complicated situation based on his experience in Ligue 1 alone, but unfortunately, he could not make it.
Guo Xuantu plays for Monaco. With Monaco's status in Ligue 1, although he sometimes plays a tough battle, the opponents he faces are completely different from the Dutch team in terms of defensive strength!
So this game can also be said to be the strongest defense he faced in his debut career!
Even though he met Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, Monaco was just fighting back at that time, and Paris Saint-Germain would give Monaco a good counterattack environment!
Situ Yunbing can only create a better environment for his players, and cannot require unrealistic improvements in his players' abilities.
Huang Zichang was replaced, and this result was not unexpected. Compared with the previous World Cup games the Chinese team played, the defensive task of the forward line is relatively easy today, so the offensive players need to perform on the offensive end to the greatest extent.
Unfortunately, Huang Zichang failed to show signs of letting Situ Yunbing see hope.
Zhang Yuning will appear, and the relative liberation of Wu Lei will allow the experienced Wu Lei and Guo Xuantu to cooperate on the sidelines to see if they can create some different sparks.
After making tactical adjustments, Situ Yunbing emphasized the defensive requirements for the game.
But players must not think that the Chinese team must break through the Dutch team's goal within regular time.
That would be a big mistake.
They still have to ensure the safety of the defense line as much as possible. At worst, they can play extra time and penalty shootouts.
After the halftime break, the two teams returned to the court and changed sides and fought again.
Fans in the stands continued to cheer for the teams they supported.
The Chinese team made substitutions, which made the Dutch team very alert.
Ronald Koeman doesn't want to die inexplicably, so he will let the Dutch team strengthen its defense first regardless of whether the Dutch team makes adjustments during the halftime break.
The attack is left to Bellwin and Depp. How many threats can be used depends on the luck of these two people.
The others tied the fence first.
At the beginning of the game, the game between the Chinese team and the Netherlands was still lukewarm.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Guo Xuantu and Wu Lei made a quick pass and cut on the left side of the frontcourt to break through Dumfries' defense line. Guo Xuantu got off the bottom and then passed the ball in front of the bottom line.
But Zhang Yuning was caught in a situation where three people attacked each other.
Van Dijk, Dricht, Wijnaldum.
He could hardly move and could only let De Rigt jump and head the ball to clear the ball.
Being able to be restricted by these three people in a joint effort is probably an alternative honor.
However, Zhang Yuning's performance of actively running to support him and acting as a fulcrum won the recognition of Situ Yunbing.
It's better than not doing anything to accept one's life.
Situ Yunbing and Koeman observed the situation, but the content changes did not change much compared to the first half.
The Dutch team's offense is still not painful.
In the 59th minute of the game, Druen had just received a pass from Berwin outside the penalty area and then changed the direction. Zhang Zhibang, who stretched his legs and pressed, made a foul that caused Druen to fall to the ground.
The referee awarded the Dutch team a free kick in the frontcourt.
Van Denbeck took the free kick, and he directly hit the goal but the football flew into the stands.
After seeing this, Situ Yunbing made a gesture on the sidelines, allowing the team to minimize the chance of giving the Dutch team a free kick.
The scene is now deadlock!
And if the deadlock is to be broken, set pieces are actually a very conventional method.
Relatively speaking, the probability of the Dutch team breaking the deadlock using set pieces is higher than that of the Chinese team!
In the 64th minute of the game, Guo Xuantu received a return pass from the left side of the frontcourt and suddenly pivoted the ball and cut across the middle of the penalty area. As a result, he was knocked to the ground by Van Denbeck.
The referee also gave the Chinese team a direct free kick in the frontcourt.
Guo Xuantu took the penalty. Under the expectant gaze of Chinese fans, Guo Xuantu scored a arc after running up, and the football flew straight to the far corner of the goal. Although it was close to the goalkeeper, the large arc trajectory outlined by the football definitely made the goalkeeper misjudgment at the beginning!
Silaisen did initially think that the football would fly out of the bottom line, but as the football's arc became obvious, Silaisen immediately made a save.
His body stretched to the limit in the air. At the end of his left arm, his left palm and fingertips could not touch the football, and his left hand had already sealed the upper right corner of the goal!
Bang!
The football bounced out after hitting the post!
Wijnaldum immediately turned the ball in the penalty area and kicked it out of the sideline!
call!
All Chinese fans sighed!
"Guo Xuantu's direct free kick hit the goal frame!
The difference is a slight difference! The Chinese team almost broke through the Dutch team's goal!
How great it would be if the ball was scored!
Most of the time the game still has two teams offensives but cannot stand stalemate.
The Netherlands cannot create excellent opportunities in the key areas of the Chinese team's defense in front of the goal, and it is difficult for the Chinese team to fight back to threaten. Settings have become the first choice for both teams to score!”
Koman was still in shock, but Situ Yunbing sighed in his heart.
Although this goal will be lucky if you scored a little, if you really scored, the Chinese team might be able to reach the World Cup finals!
Even if you may not be able to win the cup after reaching the finals, taking one more step forward will definitely be a better result than the semi-finals.
It is often said that the most regrettable thing is not that you did not participate, but that you could do it a little bit worse!
Chapter completed!
