It should be said that the Chinese fans in this game were very impressive.
Nearly 47,000 people flooded into the Brisbane Stadium, 30% of which were Chinese. If Australians say this is their home stadium, it can only be considered half. Chinese immigrants, migrant workers and young international students have combined all the
Patriotic fervor is poured into this team.
Before the game, these fans sang and danced in the square outside the stadium, which was extremely eye-catching. There were both traditional Chinese lion dance performances and auntie square dances that are now despising everything in China. It can be said that it created a very good game atmosphere for the Chinese team.
.
After the game started, the Chinese team adopted a very obvious defensive counterattack tactic, mostly dropping the ball in the middle and backcourt. They were not in a hurry to attack, but chose to counterattack after Australia attacked.
It should be said that Perrin's tactic almost succeeded.
In the fifth minute of the first half, the Chinese team successfully launched a counterattack. Zheng Zhi successfully stole the ball in the backcourt and handed the ball to Xu Mingyu. Xu Mingyu made a very beautiful direct pass and handed the ball to Wu Lei in the frontcourt.
, Wu Lei formed a breakthrough on the left. He took advantage of his relatively short stature and lower center of gravity to get past Australia's left back Davidson, and then handed the ball to Qin Minghao, who came in from the center.
Qin Minghao was immediately pressed by Australian midfielder Jedinak after receiving the ball. He thought he could gain an advantage through physical confrontation, but after hitting Qin Minghao, he found that the opponent was not as fragile as other Chinese players. Qin
Although Minghao's body shook slightly, he still held the ball firmly and successfully broke through.
This time Qin Minghao directly faced Australia's defense.
Qin Minghao used his skills to successfully overtake the Australian center back Wilkinson, and then took a shot before another center back Sainsbury came up. This shot was very beautiful and flew directly
Toward the upper right corner of the goal.
However, Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan showed his strength and made a very good save to save this must-goal.
After all the previous group matches, Matthew Ryan was named the best goalkeeper in the best team of the group matches. This save told everyone that he is now the number one goalkeeper in Asia.
Liu Jianhong, who was in charge of the commentary, also loudly applauded Qin Minghao's breakthrough and shot: "Qin Minghao made continuous passes in the midfield, made a beautiful escape, and shot. Oops, the opponent's goalkeeper is really good at saving. The Chinese team obviously entered the game first.
The Australians were the hosts, but the South Korean team, which was completely suppressed in the group stage, succeeded in stealing the chicken. The second ranking in the group obviously put them under pressure. Although they had a high formation after the start, they did not have much chance.
, on the contrary, the Chinese team’s counterattack was more threatening.”
Liu Jianhong's commentary partner Li Ming also commented on the Chinese team's attack: "Qin Minghao is a player with outstanding foot skills. Although the Australian players are taller, have longer legs and have a larger defensive area, they are not as fast as they are in terms of speed and ability."
The weakness in turning is obvious, and Qin Minghao took advantage of this to his own advantage. This is what the Chinese team will do next, specifically hitting them from behind."
After winning a corner kick, the Chinese team did not drive the ball directly into the opponent's crowd this time. After all, in terms of header ability, whether it is defense or offense, Australia is the best in Asia.
Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu, who were responsible for taking the corner kick, played a tactical corner kick. Finally, Ding Huaiyi completed a shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball missed the goal slightly.
This attack of the Chinese team greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese team. After Australia pressed up the formation, they continuously kicked off the wing. Although the pass placement was not good, it did not pose any real threat to the Chinese team, but it still allowed China to
The team's defense is under pressure.
The Chinese team's counterattack told the opponent, "Don't press too hard, otherwise be careful about your own goal."
Australia, which had been attacked once, was not intimidated by the Chinese team's counterattack. In the next game, they continued their previous offensive, still pressing their formation very high, and further strengthening their presence.
The pressure and confrontation were intense, and the pace of the game suddenly became faster. Australia, confident of winning, woke up.
In the next game, the Chinese team played very hard. Except for Qin Minghao who could hold the ball in the midfield, Ding Huaiyi, Xu Mingyu or Wu Lei who came forward seemed very passive.
Wu Lei's encounter in the 27th minute of the first half is the epitome of the Chinese team players. This time, Cai Huikang and Xu Mingyu finally intercepted the Australian player's ball in the midfield, but Cai Huikang's passing accuracy
It was not strong. The ball was a little far away from Wu Lei’s body. Wu Lei wanted to start quickly to grab the ball. Unfortunately, during the confrontation with the Australian players, Wu Lei seemed to have hit a wall and was ejected far away. The referee
Faced with such a normal physical confrontation, there was no expression.
The ball that the Chinese team finally grabbed in the backcourt was lost so easily.
Liu Jianhong, who had previously praised the Chinese team's performance, gradually became silent during this period. Especially after seeing the ball, Liu Jianhong said: "Australian players are too strong, and their level of confrontation is...
The players of the Chinese team have never encountered this in recent years. In the current game situation, the Chinese team is very passive."
Li Ming also said with regret: "For so many years, the backwardness of Chinese football has left this national team with a lot of debts. You must know that for the past 10 years, we could not even have a chance to compete with the top teams in Asia. And
Today’s opponent, Australia, has entered the World Cup finals twice in a row, and their top-level competition experience is much better than ours.”
Li Ming is right, let alone the World Cup, the Chinese team has only reached the finals once in 2002; even in competitions like the Asian Cup, the Chinese team's results in recent years have been ridiculously poor. 2007
In 2011, the Chinese team failed to qualify for the group twice in a row. If it were not for the players from the Longteng team, the Chinese team would have barely entered the Asian Cup this year as the third best team in the group.
In terms of players, except for Qin Minghao and Li Yun who are living in Europe, most of the current players on the Chinese team are Asian players from the "last era".
Some players, such as Wu Lei, have speed and technology, and even lack strength and explosive power, but they do not have the ability to display their skills in high-intensity confrontation, or they only have the physical fitness for 60 minutes of high-intensity confrontation; other players, such as Cai Huikang, must
Players who have European-style physical conditions, especially physical fitness, to a certain extent, but whose abilities are limited by their personal technical talents and tactical thinking.
Although the Chinese team is now vigorously catching up with the appearance of the Longteng team, only one or two years is not enough.
The next step in improving the strength of the Chinese team must cultivate a group of players with top physical conditions, flawless basic skills, and strong tactical execution capabilities. This relies on a highly competitive league system. Only when the league level continues to improve will the players maintain progress.
Pressure can prevent those talented players from sleeping on their physical advantages, so that players with average physical conditions can be forced to hone their skills to a super-Asian level. The national team finally selected will naturally have extremely strong
Big improvement.
It is still the first half of the game. The Chinese team has the physical fitness to fight in football. Perhaps with luck and Wang Dalei's superb performance, the Chinese team can hold on to the first half, but in the second half, it is absolutely impossible to hold on.
Secondly, according to Zhang Sheng's idea, such a game should be a few violent attacks in the first half to see if the players can use their sufficient physical strength to play a few beautiful coordinations. Once a goal is scored, they should insist on defensive counterattacks.
.If there is no goal in the first half, wait until the second half, and then replace the players with strong defensive capabilities to fight with the opponent in the midfield and backcourt, weaken the opponent's morale, and see if they can successfully steal the chicken before the end of the game.
The situation at this time was very bad. The frontcourt players, including Qin Minghao, had to return to the midfield to defend. Qin Minghao's offensive organization ability was not able to be fully utilized. The Chinese team could only rely on constantly attacking.
Run through the midfield to stop the opponent's attack.
Zhang Sheng, who has been watching the game, has to lament that the outside world has been complaining about the poor skills of Australian players, but this roughness also depends on who they are compared with. When Australian players are compared with players from South America, Europe and even Africa in the World Cup,
, it is true that the skills are rough, but at the Asian level, especially when facing the Chinese team, everyone is a player with outstanding skills.
For example, this is what is happening on the court now. The Australian players passed the ball continuously on the left side of the Chinese team, and then Bresciano made a beautiful through pass and handed the ball to Cruze who inserted into the penalty area. Cruze's shot
His strength was too weak and he was tackled by Wang Dalei.
This time Australia's offense was all ground passing, and it was very smooth. The players' movements were accurate. It was a textbook short pass in the frontcourt to coordinate the attack. Although the ball did not go in, their offensive routine did work.
.
While the ground coordination was smooth, Australia's advantage - headers also began to show off frequently. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Australia got a corner kick. Kruse's header was very beautiful, but
Wang Dalei's save was even more beautiful. He bent his waist almost to the maximum angle while leaning back, and then used his hands to deflect the ball over the crossbar. The Chinese team escaped.
In the 45th minute, before the end of the first half, Xu Mingyu fouled in the midfield and gave Australia a free kick in the frontcourt. Resiano passed the ball in from the right, and Sainsbury's forward header hit the ball slightly over the crossbar.
Fortunately, Li Yun secretly pulled the ball when Sainsbury's took off, causing the opponent to miss it. Otherwise, Wang Dalei would have had no chance to save.
The Chinese team also relied on tenacious defense to keep the score at 0:0 in the first half.
During the halftime break, all the players of the Chinese team seemed very tired. The non-stop running in the first half consumed a lot of their physical energy. The high-speed rhythm and high-intensity confrontation made them breathless.
Perrin didn't have much to do during the halftime break. The team was suppressed as a whole, and the offense simply couldn't beat the opponent's half. Coupled with serious physical exhaustion, the second half would be even more difficult. He could only keep encouraging the players and hope that
It can give them moral support, but it doesn't have much effect.
Liu Jianhong, who was in charge of the commentary, also said embarrassingly: "Judging from the first half of the game, the Chinese team was at a disadvantage. The Chinese team's ball possession rate in the first half was as low as 22.7%, while the opponent not only had a 77.3 ball possession rate.
, there were as many as 8 frontcourt set kicks, and the Chinese team only had one at the beginning. In terms of shots, Australia shot 11 times, 4 of which were on target, and 2 of which almost broke the Chinese team’s goal. The Chinese team
There were only 6 shots, 3 shots on target, and most of them were not threatening. The gap is very obvious."
"However, we still have to praise the players in this game. In such a difficult situation, they were able to maintain the stability of the defense and did not concede the ball. Li Yun's command in the backcourt was indispensable." Li Ming still said.
He said something nice, "If we can really delay the time of not conceding a goal, maybe the opponent's mentality will be impatient, and then our opportunity will come."
"Then let's see how Coach Perlan arranges his tactics in the second half." Liu Jianhong nodded and said, "I hope the Chinese team can grit their teeth and withstand it in the second half."
Unfortunately, less than ten minutes into the second half, the Chinese team lost the ball.
This time, the Australian team got a corner kick, and the Chinese team headed the ball not far away. The Australian team headed the ball from outside the penalty area into the penalty area. Cahill and Zheng Zhi collided. Zheng Zhi fell to the ground, and Cahill caught China.
The players were stunned and scored with a beautiful overhead kick. The score became 0-1, and the Chinese team fell behind.
Soon after falling behind, the Chinese team made personnel adjustments. Sun Ke replaced Cai Huikang, and the formation returned to 4-2-3-1. Sun Ke, who had just come on the field, was very active in running and passing the ball, injecting Chinese team's offense into
Vitality.
In the 58th minute, Qin Minghao sent a second pass to Xu Mingyu. Xu Mingyu, who stepped in from behind, took a beautiful long shot from more than 20 meters away, causing Matthew Ryan to miss the ball. The faster reaction was
Wu Lei took a shot before the Australian player got the second point, but he hit the ball high due to personal interference from the Australian defender, and the Chinese team missed an excellent opportunity.
The Chinese team was soon punished. Li Yun failed in a forward attack. Australia counterattacked. Cahill was guarded by two Chinese team players and scored the ball with a beautiful lion head. The score became
0-2.
In the following games, the Chinese team basically had no good offensive opportunities. The decline in physical fitness forced them to passively defend in the backcourt. Thanks to Wang Dalei's wonderful performance, the Chinese team did not concede the ball again, but the Chinese team still ended 0-0.
They were eliminated from the Asian Cup with a score of 2.
