Although Lippi allowed Ye Yifeng to play the whole game.
But Ye Yifeng didn't even start the plug-in.
It is conceivable how low his physical energy consumption is.
As the core of the field, Lippi must establish the team's habit of playing against and defense around Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng can run less than others, but other players must run actively.
Ye Yifeng was the commander on the field.
The direction of his passing is the direction in which the offense needs to exert force.
After the game, Lippi was interviewed by a Chinese reporter after the game: "Today Ye Yifeng was placed in the midfield position in the game, and even for a long time in the second half, he was more like a defender. Is this your tactical arrangement?"
Lippi nodded and said, "Yes, I put him in a position that is most helpful to the team and can best exert his strength and role."
The reporter asked again: "Don't you think he should appear on the front line? In the last game of Bhutan, he scored 5 goals by himself.
He is the number one striker in Asia. Do you not agree with this?"
Lippi smiled and replied: "As a coach, I don't care about how many goals a player scored in a game. I will first look at the results. Today, the Chinese team defeated Bhutan 18-0. This result made me satisfied. I don't think the fans can ask for more from the team.
In your heart, Ye Yifeng is the number one striker in Asia.
But in my opinion, he is the number one in Asia.
As for whether he is the number one forward in Asia, the number one midfielder in Asia, or the number one defender in Asia, it depends on where he plays."
The reporters on the scene applauded after hearing the translator!
Look, this is the level of a world-class coach.
Rainbow farts are so beautiful!
You moved our Asian top striker to the midfielder, and we can't help but applaud you now!
The Chinese team's play in Bhutan is just a warm-up, and the real difficulty is to play in Hong Kong City away next game.
Ye Yifeng followed the team from Changsha to Hong Kong City.
On November 16, the Chinese team arrived in Hong Kong City, and a large number of fans wearing national team jerseys came to greet them.
Many fans held up heart-shaped slogans to support Ye Yifeng, and the scene was very spectacular.
It is comparable to the scene where European strong teams come to Hong Kong City to make money and play business matches.
The next day, Mong Kok Stadium.
China Port City vs China Team.
The fact that Hong Kong City can defeat Qatar 2:3 at home shows that it still has certain strength.
But they didn't expect Ye Yifeng to continue to appear in the back midfielder.
During the first half of the group stage, Ye Yifeng's ultimate goal impressed them.
If you want to qualify in the group, Hong Kong City needs to win the Chinese team and Qatar one after another to have hope.
The Chinese team continued to start 433, the same as the starter in the last game against Bhutan.
After the game started, the Hong Kong City team was cautious in launching the offensive, but their strength was still weak.
The 6,500-person stadium is full, and the audience is basically local fans of Hong Kong City. They also want to see Ye Yifeng's performance on the front line.
As a result, Ye Yifeng first showed them the defensive strength of Lippi as the "No. 1 midfielder in Asia".
As long as the attack of the Hong Kong City team reaches the middle of the frontcourt, whether it is the player who is in the back or the dribbling breakthrough, they are all intercepted by Ye Yifeng.
After Ye Yifeng broke the ball in the middle of the backcourt, he quickly dribbled forward. Some players from the Hong Kong City team robbed, and some quickly retreated.
Ye Yifeng's dribbling speed was not too fast, and he did not raise his speed to the peak in order to achieve success rate.
When he encounters a tight block in the frontcourt, he will pass the ball to the wing.
Zhang Xizhe on the left side will have Jiang Zhipeng inserted behind him, and Zhang Linpeng will also support Wu Lei on the right side, cooperate with simplicity and then cross into the penalty area to create opportunities.
Or Zheng Zhihou inserted and created a long-range shot threat in front of the penalty area.
The Chinese team's offense can be ensured by Ye Yifeng, and the final opportunity creation and opportunity grasping are completed by multiple players.
The quality is still unavailable.
Although the offense is not like the previous game of Bhutan, it is a completely dimensional reduction attack, at least the offensive fluency has improved a lot compared to before.
And the defense has become stable after strengthening!
Ye Yifeng sniped and filled in the defense. Even if the defender missed someone, he could appear on the key pursuit line to complete the defense.
During the offense, he has been playing the role of the core of the organization in the first 30 minutes.
After the left, hit the right side, and after the right side, hit the left side.
In the eyes of the audience, he easily and freely controlled the game and dominated the midfield.
The teammates around them are like a bunch of tool people.
Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi intercepted wildly, and he sniped and pressed.
The full-back must run quickly when passing the ball to instigate the offensive.
On the contrary, it seems that he is not so active in running. He moves forward cautiously after taking the ball, and does not run fast.
When returning to defense, he will slowly retreat while observing the surrounding situation. When the opponent's attack speeds up or passes for a long time, he will suddenly accelerate.
The Chinese team's offensive threat continues, and the Hong Kong City team's defense line is constantly being torn back and forth.
In the 39th minute of the game, when the Port City team headed the ball in the penalty area to clear the ball.
The midfielder wanted to control the ball with his back, but unexpectedly Ye Yifeng came out from beside him!
The body was strongly squeezing the opponent away. After stopping the ball with his thigh, he took the initiative to fight and knocked the opponent away from the counter-snatched one away. Someone came quickly in front of him. Ye Yifeng suddenly pivoted the ball and changed direction to complete the pass!
He dribbled forward for 10 yards and came to the front of the penalty area. He stepped on the bicycle and swayed a big shoulder. When the defender subconsciously stepped forward to intercept, Ye Yifeng reversed the ball and transferred the ball to the right.
Wu Lei reversed offside and cut inward to form a single shot, dribbling with one step, then kicked the ball, and the football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
The Chinese team led the Hong Kong City team 1:0 away.
The players of the Hong Kong City team looked at Ye Yifeng and felt a little desperate!
There are also foreigners in the Hong Kong City League, but it seems that those foreigners are not as strong as Ye Yifeng.
He is like a beast full of reason, and no one can stop them when they really exert their strength!
Today is different from the first half of the confrontation that surrounded Ye Yifeng on the front line. As long as he tried hard to prevent him from receiving his teammates' passes, his threat would be greatly reduced.
Even if he pulls it out and wants to rely on his personal abilities, there are always two lines of defense surrounded by multiple people in front of him!
Wu Lei scored the goal and was very excited.
Finally, he didn't fly again with one sword.
Lippi nodded slightly from the sidelines.
He believes that the biggest difficulty in coaching the Chinese team is how to bring together a piece of loose sand into a whole.
As an Italian coach, he must be tactical.
Whoever lets his hometown be a tactical paradise in their hearts?
When he expected Ye Yifeng to play the midfielder, he explained his technical and tactical ideas in detail with Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng's reply was: Coach, you are a master, but we are elementary school students.
Lippi said: They are elementary school students, but you are not. I am off the court, you are on the court, I tell them how to play, and you are commanding them on the court!
Ye Yifeng was convinced.
Well, this is indeed a bit like a world-class coach.
If you shout at the top of your voice: You go to complete a, you go to complete b, you go to complete c...
This is not a commander.
This is treating players as robots.
Maybe Perrin and Camacho made such a mistake.
The requirements for players sound no problem, but the difficulty of execution is ignored.
If there were no Ye Yifeng, Lippi might not be different from them.
But it doesn't make much sense for Ye Yifeng to stay on the front line first. He may be able to bring miracles, but miracles will never happen all the time. The Chinese team is not Atletico Madrid, Wolfsburg, and Monaco. The soil for brewing miracles is too pessimistic.
Ye Yifeng's position retracement will reduce his lethality against the goal, but it will bring about improvement in the quality of the defense line, smooth organization, and threats after insertion!
He sacrificed, but he gained the improvement of the whole team!
Who made him the strongest star in China, the strongest, and the greatest responsibility. When personal sacrifice can be exchanged for team improvement, which one is more important? Lippi is betting on whether Ye Yifeng has this awareness.
He didn't, and the strongest player in Chinese football's history was nothing more than that.
He has this enlightenment.
Everything is possible!
Lippi is very confident because when he studies the prospects and difficulties of coaching the Chinese team, he basically knows the players of the Chinese national team.
Either his disciple in the club or he will meet opponents.
Only Ye Yifeng needs to study his specific performance in European football alone.
Looking at the data is just meaningless numbers.
After studying his specific performance, game habits, styles, characteristics, and comprehensively understanding his strength, Lippi took on this job with a sky-high annual salary.
In the second half, the Port City team accelerated, and Ye Yifeng continued to dominate the midfield according to the rhythm of the first half.
The speedup of the Hong Kong City team is not very threatening in his eyes.
The Chinese team is a dish, but it hasn't reached the top 10, so I really can't tell where it can go.
It is impossible for the opponent you meet now to be able to defeat the Chinese team.
In the 63rd minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng launched an offensive from the left, he quickly ran forward. Zhang Xizhe passed the ball to Gao Lin on the side outside the penalty area. The latter protected the ball and quickly knocked the ball back.
Not high quality, ordinary underfoot balls.
Ye Yifeng made a move and shot the goal when receiving the response. The defensive player who came up to press quickly blocked it with his body, but Ye Yifeng spiked the ball and changed direction to complete the breakthrough.
When he came to the penalty area, he sank his shoulders and swung his direction and accelerated into the penalty area. He fought against the defender of the Hong Kong City team and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot.
From the midfield to the penalty area, Ye Yifeng is indeed bigger in space than directly playing against the forward.
At least your teammates can slightly restrain the defense line, and at the same time, his back insertion can bring unexpected effects.
Especially when the opponent is used to his attack in the midfield, this is also a kind of paralysis.
The generals of the Hong Kong City team looked ugly and there was nothing they could do with Ye Yifeng!
Compared with the first half of the confrontation, Ye Yifeng obviously showed stronger strength.
This has nothing to do with his personal status, it is the changes brought about by the technical and tactical system.
Chinese fans also understood what purpose Lippi had for Ye Yifeng's use.
Chapter completed!
