In the second half of the game, the UAE team also made corresponding tactical adjustments. Matar's position also moved from the center to the wing. The entire UAE's tactics also changed from short passing and coordination to Matar controlling the ball and breaking through along the wing.
After the frontcourt, short passes are organized.
The reason Mahdi made this arrangement was that he discovered that the opponents' players surrounding Matar were basically their midfielders, so that they could quickly organize a counterattack once Matar was intercepted.
If Matar is allowed to move to the wing, if they still adopt this strategy to partially contain Matar, it will inevitably lead to them pulling the offensive player's position to the wing. Even if they steal the ball, they will move from the wing.
There will also be some distance when advancing to a threatening position.
Mahdi still thinks from the perspective of fighting a protracted war and a war of attrition. He also analyzed the Hong Kong team. From his point of view, even if the rhythm is adjusted in the middle, this tactic will have a negative impact on the Hong Kong team.
The players' physical energy consumption is still very high. If they continue to press like this in the second half, then they will have no energy at all in the last ten minutes!
A very important strategy for West Asian teams to deal with East Asian teams is to use stronger control tactics to consume their physical strength and wear them down. Just like the Chinese team, the last five minutes, eight minutes and ten minutes of their game against the West Asian teams, did they exist?
With many black memories, it is not that they are not lucky enough, but that the tactics used by the West Asian team played the role it should play!
According to this idea, Mahdi's arrangement is to use Matar's card to contain and consume the Hong Kong team, preventing the opponent from expanding the score. Wait until the last ten minutes, and then let the UAE team speed up the rhythm and launch a desperate counterattack!

Following Baggio's gesture, the Hong Kong team adjusted its defensive formation. Zhai Tingfeng moved to the right back position, left midfielder Guo Jianbang retreated to the left back position, and Gasson moved to the left midfielder position.
After such adjustments and changes of positions, the Hong Kong team's formation changed to 4-5-1, and they began to shrink the defensive line, adjusting from full-court pressing tactics to defensive counterattacks, leaving only Chen Zhaoqi cruising in front.
With this adjustment, the troops surrounding Matar became the "threesome" of Lin Zhijian, Ouyang Yaochong and Zhai Tingfeng. Chen Zhuo was only on the periphery of the trio, doing a good job of cutting off Matar's cross passes and returns.
Preparation of passing lanes.
It would be unfair to say that Mahdi's tactics had no effect at all. Matar's involvement on the wing made Ouyang Yaochong have to balance offense and defense. Less than a minute into the second half, Ouyang Yaochong showed signs of physical exhaustion.
Baggio also kept looking at the time. The Hong Kong team's substitute players had begun to warm up on the edge of the field.
Baggio was also prepared for Mahdi's tactical routine. It was obvious that the UAE team also understood the players of the Hong Kong team. Ouyang Yaochong's quick dribbling and breakthrough from the wing on the right was an important offensive routine of the Hong Kong team.
One thing they will definitely pay attention to is that the free kick in the first half was created by Ouyang Yao.
The reason why Mahdi arranged for Matar to play possession tactics in the second half and move Ouyang Yaochong to this side is that it is also an important idea to limit Ouyang's performance on this side by using offense as defense!
Ouyang Yaochong tried his best but was unable to catch up with the pass. A UAE player rushed to protect the ball path before Ouyang Yaochong, and used his body to cover the ball as it rolled out of the baseline. This was the second time.
The last time he managed to catch up, but he no longer had the energy to cut inside, so he had to kick the opponent out of bounds for a corner kick. This time it was even more difficult. Ouyang Yaochong's physical fitness declined rapidly and he had lost his speed on the court.
Advantages.
Not bad. Originally, Baggio expected that with Ouyang Yaochong's physical ability, he would be able to withstand two to three wing breakthroughs after successfully stealing the ball.
As a result, this guy lasted for 26 minutes. After successfully stealing the ball, he broke through four times along the wing, made two successful passes, and once requested a corner kick. Only the last time he failed to catch up with the ball.
Very good! It has exceeded Baggio's expectations! Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Baggio arranged to replace Ouyang Yaochong.
At this time, Ouyang Yaochong was bending down near the corner flag area of the UAE half, holding his knees with both hands, breathing heavily. When he saw the substitution sign, he raised his hand, lifted up his clothes and wiped his sweat.
, slowly walked down the field.
When the name of the substitute player was read out on the live broadcast, the entire audience applauded him. For many minutes before the second half, Ouyang Yaochong's performance on both offense and defense was very eye-catching, and everyone still remembers that in the first half
That wonderful breakthrough and created free kick was the result of this player's hard work.
After seeing the number of the player who was replaced, the UAE coach turned to call the assistant coach. The assistant coach was also flipping through the information in his hand. It must be that they were not familiar with the substitute player.
(three)
Mahdi is indeed unfamiliar, because not only did this player not start in the three warm-up matches in Europe, but he also never came on as a substitute for a minute.
Not only did he not play for a minute in the European warm-up match, this player even made his official debut for the Hong Kong senior team for the first time! Due to an accidental injury last year, he even missed that East Asian Games! No wonder Mahdi didn't recognize him.
This player's name is Chen Wenhui. He was born in 1988 and was a member of the Hong Kong 08 team, which is also the Yanjing 08 Olympic team. In the subsequent East Asian Cup and East Asian Games, he was also selected for the training list of the Hong Kong team, but Chen Wenhui was not
Lucky.
He was under the age of 20 during the 2008 Olympic qualifiers, and he was not a particularly talented kid. There was a gap between him and 23-year-old players. Therefore, he only played in some insignificant events or garbage time, and spent most of his time on the bench.
Sitting on it.
If Chen Wenhui is one year younger, then he still has a chance to participate in the 2012 London Olympics as a player of appropriate age. However, Hong Kong's identity information and passport management system have little chance of falsification, even if it is only one year old, during the Yanjing Olympics
He can only serve as a substitute, and at the London Olympics, the 24-year-old was also an overage player, so Chen Wenhui was unlucky.
In addition to his unlucky age, after 2008, Chen Wenhui encountered another "curse"-like experience. In subsequent East Asian Cup and East Asian Games, Chen Wenhui was injured and absent every time on the eve of the competition.
, he has not played once for the Hong Kong team!
Among the three over-age players in this Asian Games, almost everyone thinks that Baggio's choice is Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhaoqi and Li William. After all, Li William was the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year in 2009, and Baggio's original choice was also the same.
However, this time the "curse" fell on William Li. An accidental strain during the training camp in Italy prevented Li William from participating in the warm-up match. Although the injury recovered after returning to Hong Kong, he has not been able to adjust.
In the best condition, at the last moment when the list of participants for the Asian Games was determined, Baggio gave up on William Li, and Chen Wenhui was lucky enough to be selected.
Therefore, Chen Wenhui's selection also caused a lot of questions among Hong Kong fans and media. However, the Hong Kong media did not question Baggio because of this, nor did they regard it as a matter of criticizing the Chinese football team and the national football coach like the Chinese media.
It's a matter of course.

After checking the player information, Mahdi found that there were not many records about Chen Wenhui, who was wearing the No. 17 jersey. This player had not played for a minute in the Hong Kong team's three public warm-up matches in Europe.
This should show that the strength of this player is far inferior to that of No. 19 on the field. Although this player seems to be a head taller and stronger than No. 19 Ouyang Yaochong, if his strength is really outstanding, then he should
It’s right to be the main force!
Chen Wenhui is 1.85 meters tall and can play center, winger and right midfielder. Mahdi looked over and saw this player hugged Ouyang Yaochong and ran into the field. This player was taller and taller than the one on the field.
The Ouyang Yao of the Hong Kong team plays a bigger role, or the head coach Baggio of the Hong Kong team changes to a defensive wide midfielder to further strengthen the defense on the wing.
Walking to the sidelines, Mahdi shouted Matar's name to the far end and gestured, making a forward gesture.
According to Mahdi's idea, substitute players always have to adapt to the game after coming on the field. Taking this opportunity to let the entire formation press forward, Mahdi has always been afraid of the speed and dribbling ability of the opponent's No. 19 player. Now,
This "fast horse" has been replaced, and the UAE team will definitely want to take the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive!
Twenty-six or seven minutes have passed, and more than half of the second half has passed. Mahdi's idea was to let Matar rush a little more. In the last fifteen minutes, he began to make personnel adjustments and go all out to attack the Hong Kong team's defense.
Attack!
The UAE team quickly issued a goal kick, and Matar retreated to get the ball. Mahdi saw that the player who had just been substituted went all the way to the frontcourt to press Matar, and there was no cooperation from other players around him.
He couldn't help but chuckle, and glanced sideways at Baggio. The young coach of the Hong Kong team was still expressionless, but he seemed to have clenched his fists nervously.
Most of the tall players have rough foot skills and are slow to move and turn. Matar is known as the "Maradona of the Bay", and he is still sure of a one-on-one breakthrough!
Sure enough, Matar easily passed the new player, and Mahdi couldn't help but secretly rejoice...
What's the situation? Why did Chen Zhuo move to the right to participate in the defense of Matar? Isn't this an overlapping position? What is going on?
(five)
Before Mahdi off the field and Matar on the field could figure it out, with the cooperation of Zhai Tingfeng and Lin Zhijian, Chen Zhuo got stuck and squeezed Matar away. Although Matar staggered to the ground, the referee did not
A foul is called.
The referee in this game was simply officiating a friendly match. Until now, the Australian referee has not shown a single red or yellow card! Mahdi seemed very dissatisfied that the ball was not whistled!
The referee was indifferent to Mahdi's scolding on the sidelines and Matar's shouts as he lay on the ground. He stretched out his hands to indicate that the game should continue, and then hooked his hand to signal Matar to get up and join the game. (Not finished.
