After winning the match against Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team was highly praised by the domestic media.
Over the years, the Chinese team has been weak when it comes to major competitions. When facing several strong teams in Asia, they can still show some spirit in friendly matches, but when it comes to such formal games, they play in a mess. Now Chinese fans finally saw a game
A good shot that won the game and the result.
Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu, who controlled the midfield rhythm during the game, received almost crazy praise. Qin Minghao was called a genius that emerged in China in 50 years, while Xu Mingyu, who sent Qin Minghao a second pass, was praised as a younger man.
Known as China's No. 1 B2B midfielder.
Li Yun, who commands the defense, is known as China's Cannavaro, and Wu Lei is also expected to successfully study abroad.
As for the head coach Perrin, he is considered by everyone to be an excellent coach. He has successfully integrated modern European football tactics into Chinese players. The Chinese team will definitely make rapid progress under his leadership in the future.
In the second game, the Chinese team performed even better.
In this game, the Chinese team faced Uzbekistan, which was stronger than the fallen Saudi Arabia. Judging from the historical record, the two sides had played against each other three times in the Asian Cup finals. The Chinese team had 1 draw and 2 losses, far behind. As a
A team with good health and skills has always been the victim of the Chinese team.
Before the game, when reporters mentioned the historical record, Perrin seemed confident: "We have a group of excellent players. Although the opponents are also very strong, I think we will win the first place in the group in this game."
Because Uzbekistan also won in the group stage before, and Saudi Arabia defeated North Korea with a big score in the second round that ended earlier, so as long as the Chinese team wins this game, it will definitely win the first place in the group. Perrin
It is very clear that this game is about winning.
And in the game, the Chinese team did play well.
After the game started, the Chinese team, which continued the starting lineup from the previous game, played very proactively. Ding Huaiyi, who played on the right wing, showed his foot skills that far surpassed those of Asian players.
His breakthroughs and passes made it difficult for the Uzbek players to guard against. In just 20 minutes of the first half, the opponent had already received two yellow cards on Ding Huaiyi. Liu Jianhong, who resigned in the second half of 2014, commented on the game on behalf of LeTV. He said:
Ding Huaiyi's performance was simply a tribute: "With this performance, Ronaldinho's name from China is really well-deserved, and I don't think we should add another Chinese name to him. He is Ding Huaiyi, not any player."
copy of."
Unfortunately, in the 25th minute of the first half, the Uzbek midfielder hit Mei Fang with a shot in front of the penalty area. The ball rebounded and drew a weird arc from the dead corner of the goal.
Wang Dalei, who was standing slightly ahead of the net, had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net. The Chinese team actually fell behind 0:1 even though they had all the advantages.
Liu Jianhong also looked very embarrassed: "This goal was shot without any threat. Basically, there was no chance of scoring. I didn't expect to be so lucky that I actually scored. I hope the young Chinese players on the field will not be impatient."
, we have the advantage now, don’t disrupt the tactics because of an unexpected goal, it’s still early, we have plenty of opportunities.”
What can be seen more clearly is the captain Zheng Zhi who is now on the field. After he kicked off again, he was not too eager to attack. Instead, he strengthened his contact with Xu Mingyu and Qin Minghao, asking them to control the ball in the midfield and not waste it.
shoot.
The somewhat impatient players calmed down under the calm command of the big brother and patiently looked for opportunities on the court, and their efforts were not in vain.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Ding Huaiyi once again used his foot skills to inflict heavy damage on his opponent. He continuously passed through three defenders on the right and passed the ball from the fourth position with an acrobatic pass.
The defender's crotch went through, and Xu Mingyu, who came from behind, caught the ball and ran it into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he made a beautiful lob to tie the score to 1:1.
The goal was scored so beautifully that Liu Jianhong almost shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's in! It's in! It's in! Unparalleled passing, ghostly passing, effortless lobs, such a goal for the Chinese team
It has not been played in many years. This is the cooperation between two young talented players, from Ding Huaiyi's pass and Xu Mingyu's goal. This goal will be remembered forever in the history of the Asian Cup.
.”
The morale of the Chinese team was boosted by the equalizer. The players were encouraged by the goal and sped up the pace of the game. Qin Minghao, Xu Mingyu and Ding Huaiyi were three players in the midfield who could hold the ball and pass the ball thoroughly.
This allowed the Chinese team to completely control the situation on the court.
In the 40th minute of the first half, the Chinese team, which had been attacking for nearly ten minutes, scored again. This time it was Ding Huaiyi who assisted. He dribbled the ball horizontally from the right and used an arc with his left foot to score the ball.
On the left side of the penalty area, Wu Lei inserted into the penalty area and fired furiously to make the score 2:1.
The Uzbekistan player had no idea how he, who had been moving on the right, saw Voure pull out of the penalty area and then insert it diagonally into the penalty area. Uzbekistan's defensive focus was entirely on his side. This pass
It was very sudden, and by the time they saw Wu Lei quickly start entering the penalty area, it was already too late.
The Chinese team entered the second half with a very relaxed lead. Not only did Ding Huaiyi show off his skills on the right, but Gao Lin, who played as a left winger in this game, also showed off his skills with two consecutive spikes.
People saw the energetic figure before.
Liu Jianhong saw this scene on the court and said with a smile: "Gao Lin's two spikes are very beautiful. Could it be that Ding Huaiyi's performance stimulated him?"
Zhang Sheng, who has been paying attention to the national team's Asian Cup competition, also has to agree with Liu Jianhong's point of view. Playing with high-level players can improve your ability.
Ding Huaiyi is such an example.
Since he dug Pato from Brazil, Pato, who has always had a high regard for Ding Huaiyi, has given Ding Huaiyi a lot of help. Zhang Sheng often sees Pato chatting with Ding Huaiyi who wants to learn Portuguese, and is teaching Ding Huaiyi to learn Portuguese.
At the same time, he also imparted a lot of very practical knowledge and techniques to him.
Previously, Ding Huaiyi had always had a huge weakness in physical confrontation. He had all the skills but could not display them. Pato can be said to have taught him a lot of tricks step by step. It can be seen from this game that even if
In intercontinental cup competitions such as the Asian Cup, Ding Huaiyi is not very weak in confrontation.
It is conceivable that Gao Lin, who plays for Guangzhou Evergrande, has learned a lot from those high-level foreign players. Zhang Sheng has always believed that with Gao Lin's talent, if he does not take detours, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in the second-tier leagues in Europe.
of difficulty.
Although Ding Huaiyi also missed the best time to learn football, which was very unfortunate, he was also very lucky because he met Zhang Sheng. With the help of the system, Ding Huaiyi is now able to compete at the Asian level with ease and go to Europe.
How well he plays at the back depends on his hard work and luck, but if he wants to improve, going to Europe is the best way to go.
At more than 70 minutes of the game, the Chinese team, which had taken the lead, began to make substitution adjustments. The first person to be replaced was Gao Lin on the left. Now the Chinese team mainly plays counterattacks, and they need someone faster on the wing.
A player with more physical fitness and more active running, Gao Lin has played dozens of games with Guangzhou Evergrande this season, but his physical condition is not very good. It is time to replace him with a new force.
This time it was Sun Ke who played, a player that Zhang Sheng liked very much. In Zhang Sheng's opinion, this not-so-strong wing player has a big heart and he is always so energetic on the court.
, never gives up any opportunity, and the most important thing is that he has "courage" on the court, dares to take the ball, and dares to break through, but he has never been that kind of independent player.
When the Chinese team suffered a humiliating loss to the Thailand U23 national team, he was one of the few players on the field who focused on the game and did not give up even if he fell behind. No matter what his ability is, such a player at least has the best quality.
Wait a minute.
After coming on the field, Sun Ke did not waste this opportunity to come on as a substitute. Just two minutes after he came on the field, he received a beautiful pass from Qin Minghao, passed two opponent's defenders and shot the ball.
The score expanded to 3:1.
Sun Ke's shot was very beautiful. This obvious curved ball bypassed the opponent's goalkeeper's palm and then turned into a blind corner.
Zhang Sheng couldn't help but applaud Sun Ke's goal. This goal fully demonstrated his ability to run, move, break through, and shoot.
With a score of 3:1 and an impatient opponent, there was basically no suspense about this game. Perrin also began to make substitutions to let the main players rest and prepare for the next game.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 3:1. The Chinese team easily won the first place in Group B. This is also the best group result of the Chinese team in all previous Asian Cups.
In the last group match, the Chinese team, which had already qualified first in the group, played a lot of substitute players. Ding Huaiyi sat on the bench for this game. Sun Ke, who scored in the previous game, started on the right and left.
The road is Yu Bo.
Even so, the North Korean team, which had a sluggish performance in this Asian Cup, was completely suppressed by the Chinese team. In the first half, Xu Mingyu and Sun Ke turned the score into 2:0 for the Chinese team.
Qin Minghao was replaced after scoring a goal in the second half, but the 3:0 score basically made the game lose suspense. Xu Mingyu, who took over Qin Minghao's midfield command, did not let the Chinese team's offensive momentum weaken. Before the end of the game,
He assisted Gao Lin, who came on the bench, to score a header. The score of 4:0 also made the fans happy.
After the game, Perrin was very satisfied. Even when reporters asked him how he thought about the next game against the host Australia, he seemed full of confidence: "I know the next game will be very difficult, but we have a victory.
confidence.”
But Zhang Sheng, who knew the results in history, did not feel relaxed. The current Chinese team did have several more players than the national team in history due to the emergence of the Longteng team, but the opponent Australia was not weaker than the Chinese team, and even
It can be said to be better.
Although this Australian team is far less star-studded than the peak lineup with Kewell, Viduka, Bresciano, and Cahill at the time, Cahill alone is a powerful and experienced player who can shoot from a long distance.
Any player in the current Chinese team; although Bresciano is also older, his experience can also be of great help to Australia.
At the same time, Jedinak, who is the captain of the Premier League team Crystal Palace, is also a very powerful player. Together with Matthew Ryan, who is known as the number one goalkeeper in the Belgian First Division, this central axis can be regarded as the top central axis in Asia.
.
Not to mention that the current Australian team has many players playing in the Bundesliga, Premier League, and English League One. Their overall strength is higher than that of the Chinese team. Look at McGowan, who played so well in the Longteng team, and he was not selected.
If you watch an Australian national team, you will know the overall strength of the opponent.
Looking back at the Chinese team's lineup, Qin Minghao plays in the Austrian League, the third-tier league in Europe, Li Yun plays in the German Bundesliga, Xu Mingyu plays in the Portuguese League, Ding Huaiyi has not yet accepted the test of the European league, and other Chinese team players are also in China.
When it comes to playing football, trying to arm-wrestle with your opponents is really not enough.
It can be seen from Perrin's starting lineup for the game that he is not as confident as he clearly was in the interview.
In this game, Perrin played a 4-5-1 lineup. He arranged for Cai Huikang to start and replace Sun Ke. He used a three-midfielder style of play and placed Xu Mingyu in the wide midfielder, just to strengthen the defensive strength of the midfield.
, I gave up the attack and wanted to stabilize the position first.
Zhang Sheng had to complain about Perrin's tactical arrangements: "Facing this powerful opponent, it is too conservative to not think about how to attack, but just rely on defense to avoid losing. Xu Mingyu can indeed play on the wing.
But after all, he is not an authentic wing player, and the narrow wing is not suitable for his technical characteristics. On the contrary, Cai Huikang, whose foot skills are extremely rough, cannot be integrated into the ground attack-based tactics, and will also drag down the overall offensive rhythm.
,Besides, can Cai Huikang’s body withstand the impact of the Australians?”
Historically, it was Perrin who was too conservative in his formations and allowed the Chinese team to be completely suppressed in this game, unable to even counterattack. Now he still chooses conservative tactics, and there will be no good results.
.
This game depends on whether the defense line led by Li Yun can withstand the opponent's continuous offensive pressure.
