However, in Zhang Sheng's view, Kawasaki Frontale's goal was just an accident. In addition to Zhou Wei's lack of experience, Renato cannot take such a good free kick every time. The Dragons' defensive players also
I will never give the opponent such a good free kick opportunity again.Ww W．

Sure enough, after Zhang Sheng told the players on the court to reduce fouling as much as possible, it was difficult for Kawasaki Frontale to get a good free kick opportunity in the Longteng team's backcourt.
After that, the game between the two sides entered a balanced situation again, and both began to strangle in the midfield. As time went by, Kawasaki Frontale's games became more and more difficult to play. This is related to the fact that Kawasaki Frontale's core players are generally older.
.
Among the three players on the central axis of Kawasaki Frontale, Junichi Inamoto was born in 1979, Norigo Nakamura was born in 198o, and the youngest Yoshihito Okubo was born in 1982, which means that they are generally players over 30 years old.
Even their two central defenders, Yusuke Kawai and Brazilian foreign aid Jesse, were born in 1982 and 198o. If they are playing in the J-League, because the J-League has very strict penalties for physical contact, physical confrontation is slightly better.
Their physical fitness can still play the entire game, but once they reach a high-confrontation game like the AFC Champions League, and then encounter a team like the Longteng, which is mainly composed of young players and plays a dominant role in passing and controlling, their physical fitness will be unsustainable.
Kazama Hachiro had to replace Nakamura Kengo and Okubo Yoshihito in just over 30 minutes of the second half because they could no longer run. As a Japanese team that focuses on running, once the players could no longer run
, then the strategy will be completely wasted.
The dismissal of Nakamura Kengo and Okubo Yoshito made Kawasaki Frontale's offense even more weak. Nakamura's dismissal left Kawasaki Frontale without a ball outlet in the midfield, and Okubo Yoshito's dismissal greatly reduced Kawasaki Frontale's forward attack power.
, as a Japanese team, Kawasaki Frontale has to play defensive counterattack tactics, and it is an ugly defensive counterattack tactic that sticks to the backcourt.
Faced with this situation, the Japanese commentator also began to criticize Kawasaki Frontale's performance: "Facing a newly promoted team, as the third place in the J-League last season, we were forced to fight back at half-time at our home court.
, it really disgraces Japanese football.”
But this is related to the general environment of Japanese football. In Japan, there are currently a lot of players studying abroad. Some players who are good at playing will stay abroad. Because of the excellent performance of Japanese players in European competitions, it is also easy for European teams to
to accept Japanese players, so this further encourages Japanese players to go abroad in large numbers.
There are actually other reasons why Japanese players go abroad, the biggest one being low wages.
Take baseball as an example. Baseball in Japan is Japan’s national sport just like table tennis in China, and it can receive state subsidies. Therefore, the development of baseball in Japan is far better than football. Japan’s professional sports
Among athletes, the income of football players is only about 30% of that of baseball players. This also makes baseball a popular sport in Japan, so the selection of Japanese players prioritizes baseball, and then football.
Moreover, there is an unspoken rule in Japanese football that seems strange to foreigners. This is also an unspoken rule in the entire Japanese society - it pays attention to the order of seniority. Up to now, the Japanese football industry is still the same as other Japanese companies. Players on the team
The salary is not determined by the player's strength, but by the number of years he has played for the club. New young players who join the team, even if they are the main players of the national football team, will only receive an annual salary of 7 million at most, and ordinary players will only receive 4.8 million.
Those who earn the most money are the old players. Some international students work in Japan. If they are willing to endure hardship, it is possible to earn 4.8 million yuan a month. The income of football players is equivalent to that of international students working part-time jobs. Indeed
Don't make Japanese players unhappy.
This leads to one thing. On the one hand, the club needs to support those old guys who have an annual salary of hundreds of millions but are too old to play football. At the same time, because of their commercial contracts, they have to give them playing time. On the other hand, they have to give them playing time.
On the other hand, those young players with outstanding talents are used as the pillars of the team, but they receive very low salaries. Under such circumstances, a very unique thing has emerged, that is, the average age of Japanese J-League players retiring.
He has already reached the age of 25. Because Japan’s seniority system is a social phenomenon, players have to start over from scratch when they retire and work for other companies. More and more people would rather retire early and work in other jobs to survive the years, which also makes many talented players
People left the stadium early.
This is why many J-League teams have a bunch of old players or players who have not returned from studying abroad and are still playing the main role, such as the three players on the central axis of Kawasaki Frontale.
After replacing these three players, although the Kawasaki Frontale's strength has dropped a lot, the Longteng team is also not proficient in playing safely because of the cooperation of the players, which leads to frequent coordination errors in the frontcourt. At the same time, such a high pace
The game also caused physical problems for the players. Zhang Sheng also started to make substitutions, replacing Lin Feng with Tao Wentao and Xiao Yunfan with Shu Jun one after another.
Two consecutive substitutions in the backcourt also allowed Kawasaki Frontale to find an opportunity to attack again. Yu Kobayashi and Renato in the frontcourt, plus the replaced forward North Korean foreign aid Ahn Byeong-jun, began to attack the Longteng team's backcourt one after another.
.At this time, Kawasaki Frontale, as a veteran of the AFC Champions League, showed the role of experience. After several veterans left, it was these young players who made the game better. They used the Dragon Team to keep up with the rhythm of the AFC Champions League.
The sequelae of lack of physical fitness after running crazy, I had several high-quality shots in a row.
Fortunately, Zhou Wei performed very well after his initial mistake. He saved several threatening shots in a row and maintained the score at 1:1. It was a pity that it was to prevent the Kawasaki Frontale.
In these few attacks, Yu Bo and Zhou Zhou received consecutive yellow cards, which left a lot of hidden dangers for them to compete in the AFC Champions League in the future.
Especially in the last few minutes of the game, the Japanese team used their favorite tactic - a wave of fierce attacks in the final period to make the Longteng team's goal dangerous. The Longteng team had to shrink the overall formation, completely
went on the defensive.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but shook his head. He and his players were still inexperienced. In the first half, in order to keep up with the opponent's game rhythm, a lot of running consumed a lot of physical energy. In the second half, when they were leading
They did not take the opportunity to control the rhythm on the court and continued to attack fiercely. Now the physical fitness of the players is generally unable to keep up. This is related to their own tactical arrangements and also to the players' own experience in how to allocate physical fitness in the AFC Champions League.
Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff began to write down these weaknesses in their notebooks and correct them after returning home.
In the end, the Longteng team also relied on the players' united defense to keep the score at 1:1. At the same time, the Longteng team also won the second AFC Champions League point.
Regarding this draw, the domestic media generally believed that it was a pity that the Longteng team played. After all, the Longteng team once had great hope of winning the game, and Kawasaki Frontale only relied on a set piece to regain a point.
The Japanese media criticized Kawasaki Frontale. A team ranked third in the J-League was once forced into the backcourt by a newly promoted team at its home court to engage in an ugly defensive counterattack. This made Japanese football feel embarrassed. If
The opponent is Guangzhou Evergrande, so it is understandable that they were beaten. After all, Guangzhou Evergrande is the dominant player in China, and they have always played very well when facing Japanese teams. Of course, they mentioned it the most
It was Pato. They believed that it was precisely because of the explosive purchase of the Dragons that a multi-million-euro star like Pato joined. In this game, Pato scored the only goal for the Dragons.
.
Finally, Japan exclaimed: "Another Guangzhou Evergrande is coming, everyone, be careful."
However, Zhang Sheng, who returned to China, did not pay attention to these things. He was summarizing some of the problems exposed in this game with the coaching staff.
The first is the issue of Pato's position. Judging from this game, if Pato is alone at the front, he really cannot exert his power 100%. As a player who is not a standing center, if he is placed at the front
It is not his style to take the ball with his back on the court, then turn around to shoot, or to help his teammates to play the ball.
Because when he was in AC Milan, he played this position. In order to strengthen his confrontation ability in this position, Milan gave him a lot of muscle training to increase his muscle strength. Unfortunately, this approach not only made him
Pato lost his previous elegant aura, which also led to his constant injuries. Coupled with Pato's own undisciplined behavior, his performance in this position was deteriorating. In his last season in Milan, he
He only scored 1 goal in 10 appearances, which was one of the reasons why he was sold in Milan.
Pato returned to Corinthians and began to try to make changes. Pato's position began to drop back and play on the flank, mainly active on the left wing. This also re-energized Pato's vitality. Data provided by the authoritative scoring website hoscored
Zhong Zhangsheng can see that Pato's rating was only 6.63 when he played center. After switching to left midfielder, Pato's rating soared to 7.79, and his performance almost made a qualitative leap. Unfortunately, Corinthians
Put more pressure on him, hoping that he can lead the team to achieve good results, but he has just returned to Brazil from Europe and has no such confidence and ability. This is why the Dragons can take this opportunity to buy him. If
A season or two later, Corinthians will definitely keep him and let him return to Europe to make a lot of money. (To be continued.)
