The halftime break ended quickly and both teams returned to the field.
When He Wei saw Lin Feng coming off the field and playing Nie Jiang, he was very surprised: "The Dragons have made a substitution. Nie Jiang comes on, so will the Dragons rely on him to organize the midfield?"
"It should be." Xu Yang said doubtfully, "What about the defense in the midfield?"
However, the situation on the field soon gave them two answers.
After the start of the second half, the Mexican American team changed its wing attack to always place the final shot in the ribs, and began to use the two wingers to penetrate deeply and then pass down the bottom.
In the fifth minute of the second half, after Paul Aguilar broke through from the wing, he no longer passed back to the midfielder who came in, but directly found center Peralta in the penalty area.
Because Lu Zhihui had previously followed Zhang Sheng’s tactical arrangement, he had left his base open on the wing to prevent the opponent’s ribs from passing, so he was not prepared enough for Paul Aguilar’s cross, allowing the opponent to easily find the pass.
The line of the ball.
After Peralta received a pass from Paul Aguilar in the penalty area, he made a powerful header and almost broke through the Longteng team's goal. In the end, the ball missed the post and flew out of the baseline.
"Oops! Du Zhenyu's defense didn't keep up." He Wei also exclaimed, "We can't let the opponent pass the ball so easily on the wing. Our center back wants to completely lock down the opponent's two centers. It's impossible.
big."
At this time, Zhang Sheng stood up immediately off the court and walked to the sidelines. His brain began to work rapidly, thinking about how to adjust the players' positions.
This American team is far from comparable to Asian teams like Ahli. They do not have an absolute playmaker, but everyone has organizational skills, so they cannot use the method of freezing the playmaker to gain a defensive advantage.
The method Zhang Sheng came up with was to use two forwards and two midfielders to flank the opponent's two midfielders so that the opponent could not play the ball from the center. Then the opponent could only play the ball from the wing to the arc side of the penalty area.
Then use the wing-backs to press forward, and the wing-backs press the opponent's wide pass to prevent him from passing to the center. Then the opponent will create the only passing route to the center.
In the end, the central defender got stuck on the flank of the center in advance to block the only passing route. In positional defense, the abundant personnel selection of the three central defenders allowed him to dominate this position.
Zhang Sheng took advantage of the 3-5-2, a midfielder-dominated style of play, and made the opponent pay the price by attacking.
Judging from the current situation, the opponent's tactics have changed greatly.
Ambrish first moved a midfielder to the back line, pushed the central defender to both sides to protect the full backs, and at the same time used the full backs to press deep, changing the attack posture to a strategy of 3 backs and double forwards, and the attack point was changed to two full backs.
Road players attack the Longteng team's full-backs, especially the combination of two local players like Wei Zhimin and Lu Zhihui on the left.
Seeing that the opponent had changed its main attack direction from the sides of the arc, which was heavily protected by his own troops, to the sides of the penalty area and launched a real wing attack, Zhang Sheng made a decisive adjustment.
Lu Zhihui, who had been pressed up by his own arrangement, and Xiao Yunfan, who had not yet attacked, retreated to block the opponent's attacking flank again.
At the same time, Wei Zhimin and Rock Gill were allowed to stay close to the opponent's attacking midfielder and assist the full-backs in defending the flanks. In the end, Nie Jiang retreated deeper than what he had planned during the halftime break and returned to the top of the penalty area for protection. Anyway, Nie Jiang was in the second half.
He just came on the field, allowing him to run back and forth without any physical worries.
This approach is also because the opponent weakens the middle of the midfield and increases the attack from the wings, so the defensive pressure in the middle becomes smaller. Nie Jiang can just pull back to help protect.
Sure enough, the opponent continued to maintain the offensive style of play from the wing.
In the eighth minute and tenth minute of the second half, the Mexican American team used the two full-backs to intervene and continuously passed the ball at the bottom line of the wing to find Peralta and Benedetto in the penalty area, hoping that they would take advantage of it.
Make runs and headers to get chances to score goals.
It should be said that the strength of the American team is indeed strong. The two full-backs Samudio and Paulo Aguilar are the main international players of Paraguay and Mexico respectively, which makes Xiao Yunfan and Lu Zhihui very embarrassed.
Although these two passes were interfered by Xiao Yunfan and Lu Zhihui, they were still accurately passed into the penalty area. However, the passes were all made under the pressure of the defensive players. The ball was targeted at the right person, but the power of the ball
The angle is not very good either.
Peralta and Benedetto's shots flew high over the crossbar once and were held firmly by Zhou Wei because of insufficient strength.
He Wei did not fundamentally discover the Longteng team's defensive strategy, but he was still very worried and said: "It's dangerous, be careful. The opponent's full-backs are too powerful, so you must defend the middle of the penalty area."
The American team, which had continuous shooting opportunities, seemed to feel that it had found an effective way to attack, and began to work hard to create opportunities.
It's just that after the Longteng team's two wingers got used to their offensive methods, they became more defensively defensive, allowing them to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area, but not giving them a chance to cross the ball.
In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Paul Aguilar's pass was guessed by Lu Zhihui, and his defense bounced the ball to Paul Aguilar without even giving the opponent a corner kick.
On the contrary, in the 19th minute of the second half, Xiao Yunfan's defensive ability was slightly weaker, giving Samudio a chance to create a corner kick.
The American team also attached great importance to this corner kick and placed Goltz, the tallest among its center backs, into the penalty area.
This time Benedetto used his height advantage to suppress Ma Yongli, grabbed the ball in the air, and passed the ball to the back point. Goltz, who came up specially to prepare a header, grabbed the second point, a
He hit the ground with a powerful header, hoping for a rebound.
Fortunately, Zhou Wei reacted very quickly. When the ball bounced, he dragged the ball out of the baseline with his palm, and the American team got the opportunity to take consecutive corner kicks.
At the second corner kick, the American team did not have such good footwork to find its teammates again. In addition, Lu Zhihui also strengthened his header defense in the penalty area. He made a powerful mid-air grab before Goltz.
, pushed the football out of the penalty area, and Wei Zhimin, who was guarding the line of the penalty area, pushed the ball into the opponent's half with a big kick.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng made a second personnel adjustment. Wei Zhimin, who had temporarily played as a defensive midfielder, was replaced by Zhang Sheng, and Qi Ming came on.
The purpose of this substitution is to use Qi Ming's offensive and defensive balance in the middle, and his strong header ability to prevent the opponent from hitting high balls.
The American team found a sweet spot in using this kind of offense and stepped up their offensive more and more.
This time they made a slight change. After passing the ball from the wing, the forward in the penalty area handed the ball over to his teammates in front of the penalty area, allowing them to take advantage of their opportunity to suppress the Longteng team's center back and shoot.
Now the effect of Nie Jiang's deep retracement has taken effect.
In the 22nd and 25th minutes of the second half, Nie Jiang continuously interfered with the opponent's offensive organization and shooting in front of the penalty area, causing the American team's planned offensive method to come to nothing.
Although the Longteng team defended the opponent's attacks time and time again, overall, they were still beaten.
He Wei was also extremely worried: "The Longteng team seemed too passive after the second half. Although the opponent did not have many good shooting opportunities, but with such a long-term high-pressure defense, it is very likely that we will make mistakes without knowing when. I hope we
The boys can hold on."
In fact, although Zhang Sheng was a little worried on the sidelines, he was silently encouraging the Longteng team's offense because the opponent's formation was not without weaknesses, and the weaknesses were very obvious.
That is that the Mexican American team has strengthened its attack on the wings, and at the same time its defense in the middle of the midfield has indeed been weakened a lot. Now the American team only has one midfielder responsible for defense.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng gave instructions to Chavez on the field, asking him to increase the pressure on the opponent's center back and no longer seek to turn around and shoot. He just prevented the opponent's center back from assisting in defense. At the same time, he
.Alfa and Pato moved closer to the center, allowing the Longteng team's midfielder to form a partial advantage in a short period of time with more people and fewer people.
In the 28th minute of the second half, the American team continued to attack without scoring and slowed down the rhythm slightly. However, the Longteng team took advantage of this change in rhythm and launched an attack decisively.
This time, the Mexican American team was naturally preparing to play a two-two on the right side of the Longteng team. However, this intention was too obvious, and the assisting defensive midfielder Qiming made a forward defense and intercepted the ball.
After stealing the ball, Qi Ming turned around and saw Pato asking for it, so he handed the ball to him directly.
Because the American team was attacking from the wing this time, their players were all pressing forward. When Qi Ming passed the ball to Pato, the opponent only had their midfielder to defend Pato.
For this kind of one-on-one defense, Pato's ability was fully displayed. After receiving the ball, Pato got up and ran to the wing, attracting the defensive midfielder Guerrero of the American team to the wing.
After that, Pato started running at an unreasonable speed.
How could a defensive midfielder like Guerrero catch up with Pato after he started? Although he chased back desperately and kept hitting Pato with his body, trying to knock him over, it was all in vain.
Pato dribbled the ball at high speed directly to the edge of the American team's penalty area. Then he saw Chavez in the penalty area and passed the ball decisively. Chavez leaned against the center back Pablo Aguilar.
, knocking the ball back to Nie Jiang, who ran all the way back from the center.
Because Guerrero was used as a defensive midfielder to defend Pato, the American team's single defensive midfielder finally suffered a bitter pill. When Nie Jiang received the pass from Chavez, there was no one around him to defend him.
How could Nie Jiang, who was standing at the edge of the penalty area, let go of such an opportunity? He took a decisive shot and the ball went through an arc and flew directly into the right post of the goal.
The Longteng team relied on a successful defensive counterattack to expand the score to 2:0.
He Wei didn't think much when Qi Ming got the ball. After all, the Longteng team was still far away from the opponent's half. But when Qi Ming accurately found Pato and Pato started to speed up, He Wei also
Realizing that the Longteng team's opportunity had come: "Pato got the ball, and he rushed up from the wing. He completely threw away the opponent's defense and passed the ball. Chavez's counterattack, Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang was unguarded.
, shot, the ball went in, goal!!! The Longteng team expanded the score."
"The charging Pato is unstoppable!" Even He Wei shouted out a goal that was rarely shouted during commentary. Xu Yang also shouted excitedly, "Chavez's return shot was just right, Nie Jiang's
There was nothing the goalkeeper could do about this shot. Haha, the Longteng team’s counterattack was really sharp. It was so beautiful!”
In the stands, there were Chinese and overseas students from all over Japan who dared to come to watch the game; die-hard fans who flew from China to cheer for the Longteng team were jumping up and down with excitement.
Zhang Sheng also jumped up excitedly on the sidelines. He Lijun and Xuerle who were beside him rushed over and hugged Zhang Sheng tightly, because they knew that with the score of 2:0, the Longteng team defended cautiously on the court, and the American team
The opportunity has basically been lost.
And this is already late in the second half. If the American team is expected to attack like they did at the beginning of the second half, their physical fitness will not be able to support it.
The reason why Zhang Sheng didn't play Nie Jiang at the beginning of this game. Even though he was suppressed very hard in the second half, he didn't play Chavez. He was waiting for this moment, because American teams generally dislike tactical centers like Chavez.
Not suitable for any playing style.
In the Americas, especially South America and the Caribbean and Mexico whose style is close to South America, they are popular with impact forwards. Their defense is mainly 1-on-1, and it is rare to encounter such a large-scale tactical center with his back to create the ball.
Compared with Chavez's style of play that pursued turning and shooting at the beginning, the threat of Chavez with his back to the ball will increase exponentially. When the American team cannot understand the Dragon Team's offensive routine that has changed again, on the court
Suffering is certain.
The 2:0 score not only refreshed the Longteng team, which had been suppressed before, but also made the players of the Mexican American team a little unbalanced.
As the head coach, Ambrish has only now thought of the most direct way to make tactical adjustments - substitutions, and two at a time. Benedetto, who was mediocre in this game, was replaced. The American team's previous center
Osvaldo Martinez, another midfielder candidate on the field, was replaced; at the same time, the small midfielder Quintero, who had been cooperating with the two full-backs and constantly changing positions and running around, was also replaced.
Fucked another striker Arroyo.
Up to this point in the game, the biggest gap between the two sides is reflected in the position of head coach.
Although the Longteng team is leading the game, Zhang Sheng has been observing the situation of the game from the sidelines. At the same time, he constantly makes substitution adjustments to cope with the difficulties encountered by his team. It does not stabilize because the team is leading.
Sit on the Diaoyutai.
On the other hand, Ambrish always thinks about how to make a fuss offensively and wants to use the existing players on the field to change the situation of lagging behind.
As a result, Zhang Sheng, who took the initiative to seek changes, allowed the team to expand the score, while Ambrish, who was passive in adjusting, only now thought of strengthening manpower in the midfield to limit fake attacking midfielders like Nie Jiang.
The Longteng team, which was weaker overall, relied on tactics to gain a huge advantage.
