After Xiang Tiange came on the court, he did not weaken the Chinese team's offensive on the right.
In the 54th minute of the second half, Xiang Tiange used the courage of a newborn calf to rush to the left of the Uzbekistan team. After receiving the pass from Li Yunfen, he suddenly accelerated and got rid of Shomurodov.
.
He had just come on the field and had excellent physical fitness. Coupled with his own speed advantage, Shomurodov could not catch up. Uzbekistan was well prepared. Midfielder Jeparov passed the ball to Li Yun.
When it was given to Xiang Tiange, it was expected that the Chinese team would actually turn its attack direction to the right this time, instead of feinting from the right and taking off from the left like in the first half.
Veteran Deparov moved to the right of the Chinese team early and quickly approached Shomurodov in an attempt to form a double-team.
Babayan started preparations for the match against the Chinese team very early. In addition to sending members of his coaching staff, scouts, to inspect the Chinese league, he also had the rare opportunity of mobilizing Uzbekistan’s teams across China through his own government.
International students - including those from Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Yangcheng, Jiangcheng, and Shiyi University - asked them to help videotape some of the main players and rotation players of the Chinese team during the game.
Xiang Tiange was selected as a rising star of the Chinese national team, and he is also a target of focus. He is fast, has good foot skills, and is strong in offense and weak in defense. This is the label given to him by the Uzbekistan coaching staff.
But sometimes, don't think that just because you have labeled a player with the words "fast", you feel that you have this concept. In fact, only when you are on the playing field can you realize what it means to be fast.
For example, this time, even veterans like Deparov were caught off guard.
When Xiang Tiange received the ball, he came over. When Xiang Tiange accelerated to get rid of Shomurodov, he was almost close to defend. But what he didn't expect was that Xiang Tiange passed the ball after passing the ball.
Behind the wheel, he didn't slow down at all to make adjustments. It's not that he didn't adjust at all. He actually accelerated again.
At this time, Jeparov realized what "fast speed" means. With just a tiny distance, the opponent kicked the ball far away, and then dashed away, so much faster than his own interception.
With one step, he was eaten alive by the other party's speed.
Boxing is afraid of young people. In any competitive sport, when it comes to pure physical speed, young people often have the upper hand. This is an eternal truth.
Seeing Xiang Tiange speed up and pass people like this is really a visual stimulation.
Why do fans have a preference for fast players and give them various titles such as "fast horses"? It is mainly because humans are visual animals. When they see such breakthroughs in the limits of the human body, they can't help but pay attention.
So, the alien Ronaldo's solo breakthrough and double-door defense, and Bale's overtaking in a curve outside the field will be firmly remembered by everyone. This is the same as seeing certain pictures and can't help but zoom in, a conditioned reflex.
Xiang Tiange's charge ignited the atmosphere of the fans in the stands. Zhang Linpeng's dismissal just now made the fans very worried. After all, it is not a good sign for the absolute main player to be injured in the game.
Now Xiang Tiange's side breakthrough made everyone temporarily put Zhang Linpeng's injury in the back of their minds.
"Such an awesome player was actually sold by the Dragons!" This is the true thought of countless fans watching this game.
Fans of the Chinese team are happy, but Denisov, the left back of the Uzbekistan team, is in trouble. This speedy player on the opposite side is not easy to deal with, so he must deal with it carefully.
As an experienced player who often performs wing breakthroughs himself, Denisov has some experience in defending against speedy players.
Defending against speedy players is actually very simple.
First, don’t take a kick casually. Even if you want to take a kick, don’t hesitate. If you don’t break the ball with your kick, just commit a foul and break the ball.
The second is to choose your position in advance, make good predictions, do not face the opponent directly, lower your center of gravity, be ready to turn around and chase at any time, and at the same time keep a certain distance from the attacking team member.
Finally, even if you really can't beat the opponent in terms of speed, you should try to control the direction of the player leading the ball. Don't let his direction of travel face your own goal. It is best to give way to the sideline or baseline corner kick area, forcing the player leading the ball to bring the ball in.
Dead corner.
Worried about the explosive power Xiang Tiange showed just now, Denisov chose the last option, which was to force Xiang Tiange to the sideline.
He did not run side by side with Xiang Tiange and ran at full strength. He just stayed half a body behind Xiang Tiange, preventing the latter from making an emergency stop and changing direction, and preventing the latter from cutting in. At the same time, he also kept an eye on the passing route.
Xiang Tiange tried to stop suddenly several times and changed the rhythm of his feet, but failed to get rid of the defensive player who was approaching him. Finally, he chose to speed up again in an attempt to get rid of Denisov.
As a result, the following midfielder Bikmayev made a tackle, brought down the rather flexible Xiang Tiange, and gave the Chinese team a free kick in the frontcourt.
Huang Jianxiang praised the free kick very much, but also put forward his own thoughts: "Xiang Tiange's breakthrough is too morale-boosting. Zhang Linpeng was injured just now, which gave us some bad ideas, but Xiang Tiange used
My wonderful performance tells everyone that there is no need to worry. It would have been even more perfect if he had just passed two people and passed the ball out."
"It is indeed better to pass the ball out, but are our requirements too high? Xiang is only 19 years old. You see, he doesn't have the stage fright of making his debut in the competition at all. His skills can be improved and his experience can be accumulated.
The character of a savior who is still fearless in times of crisis is the most precious. He has a promising future!" Su Dong did not hesitate to praise him.
Although the free kick created by Xiang Tiange did not pose much threat to Uzbekistan, Lippi happily clapped his hands on the sidelines to encourage Xiang Tiange's attack just now.
"Through this attack, I feel that the Chinese team's strategy of flying together on both sides is about to come out." Chen Jiangfeng in the stands looked at Xiang Tiange's performance with some amazement. He was impressed by this young talent trained by the former Longteng team.
Chen Jiangfeng felt it was a pity that Qia Qia was outstanding in the team's competition, but Qia Qia transferred away again.
"It would be great if Ni Shuai (the nickname of Longteng team player Ni Kai) is on the left. That would be a real two-winger flying together." His girlfriend's words that she was a bit of a nymphomaniac made Chen Jiangfeng even more unhappy.
Putting aside the little petty thoughts between the young couple, they were right. After Xiang Tiange, Li Xuepeng on the left, with the cooperation of Ding Huaiyi, once again broke into the Uzbekistan team's penalty area.
In the end, Nie Jiang received the ball from Wu Lei who had switched positions, and his left-footed volley once again made Uzbekistan goalkeeper Nesterov make a wonderful save.
As the Chinese team attacked and pressed again and again, the goal seemed to be right in front of them.
However, Uzbekistan has also slowly adopted countermeasures.
In the 60 minutes of the second half, the Chinese team created space on the right through constant backcourt moves. Xiang Tiange tried again on the right to overwhelm his opponent with speed. This time, veteran Jeparov was much smarter.
Just when Xiang Tiange was about to start speeding up, he gently pulled the opponent and then quickly let go.
Although this was a foul, it was in the Chinese team's half, and the action was not big. It was completely impossible to get a card, but it caused the suddenness of the Chinese team's right-side attack to disappear.
Three minutes later, Xiang Tiange asked for the ball again. This time he cooperated with his teammates. Xu Mingyu played a two-on-two with him. Although Uzbekistan was surprised, their left back
Denisov chose another defensive method. After Xiang Tiange got the ball, he didn't give him a chance to rush forward.
Denisov kept using his body to bump into and carry Tiange, making the latter unable to use his speed.
In fact, this is the best way to defend fast players. Many fast players will "misfire" when faced with strong physical contact, and they can only complain to the referee if they play awkwardly.
Xiang Tiange was very unhappy and shouted to the referee this time. He pulled his clothes to indicate that his opponent had taken advantage and had committed a foul. His complaint was obviously emotional, unlike the "smart" Li Yun before.
Complaints vary greatly.
Of course, the referee would not play cards for such a physical confrontation. Instead, after complaining emotionally to Xiang Tiange several times, he gave him a warning. Xiang Tiange turned his head dissatisfied and said to the referee
Raised his hand.
"Xiao Xiang is still a bit too young. Don't be anxious on the court. We shouldn't be the ones who are anxious." Huang Jianxiang looked at Xiang Tiange's movements and consoled him.
"It is Uzbekistan who is eager to attack and score points. With the current score on the field and the current situation of 0:0 in the other game, they need to score goals and score points."
When the game reached nearly 70 minutes, Lippi couldn't sit still. Uzbekistan's defensive intensity and tenacity really exceeded his expectations.
Although the opponent has received as many as 4 yellow cards, it really prevented the ball from being conceded, which is worth it.
On the contrary, some players on the Chinese team are a bit unable to move, such as defensive midfielder Xu Mingyu who frequently fills in for the two wingers.
As a player who is not known for his abundant physical energy, active running, and strong defensive ability, it is very rare for him to be able to maintain the defense in the midfield even when the team is aggressively attacking.
In the 69th minute, Uzbekistan made a substitution. Their center Sergeyev ran desperately in both directions throughout the game, often returning to defend deep into his own penalty area. Now he finally had physical problems and began to cramp in his legs.
, was replaced by veteran Hedarov.
The opponent made the first move, and Lippi also began to arrange his second move.
When the situation on the field was very passive, Uzbekistan still switched forwards from forward to forward. It seemed that the opponent was still very eager to score goals.
Lippi returned to the coaching bench and began arranging substitutions with his coaching staff.
While Lippi was still giving instructions to his colleagues on various matters, the situation on the field changed.
In the 71st minute, the Chinese team attacked the frontcourt, but was stopped by Uzbekistan. This time the latter suddenly launched a counterattack across the board, and it was the veteran Deparov who directed the counterattack.
He received the pass from midfielder Ahmedov after intercepting the ball in his own backcourt. Without making any adjustments, he used his golden left foot to score the ball beautifully without stopping and passed it to the new player.
Forward Khaydarov.
Khaydarov had already started to rush forward when Akhmedov stole the ball. At this time, he was standing on the left after Xiang Tiange came up. He was very experienced and chose Xiang Tiange.
In the gap after the assist came up, I saw Xu Mingyu coming to make up the position. He made a header and let the football pass over Xu Mingyu's head.
Like Heydarov, Shomurodov had already rushed along the left sideline, and Heydarov's pass could be said to have arrived in response.
"Uzbekistan's counterattack is dangerous!" Huang Jianxiang almost screamed, "Du Zhenyu came over and Shomurodov fell to the ground. Is this a foul?"
"Here comes the referee, red card!" Su Dong was also a little shocked by the card, "Du Zhenyu is the last defensive player, and he did commit a foul."
Having said this, both Huang Jianxiang and Su Dong fell into silence. Not only that, but the stands that were bustling with activity before seemed to have been cast into silence by the great magician.
After a short pause, Huang Jianxiang reacted first: "Destroy the opponent's obvious scoring opportunity. In this case, the referee Pereira will directly send off Du Zhenyu with a red card."
"This ball, when Hedarov headed the ball back, his movement was very smart." Su Dong started to review the playback camera, "He looked at Li Yun next to him and chose the best position.
Du Zhenyu had no choice but to foul."
"The Chinese team is a little too pursuit of goals and presses too high. Du Zhenyu's foul was timely. If Shomurodov were allowed to take one more step into the penalty area, Shomurodov's situation would be even worse.
"It's a red card, a penalty kick or even a goal." Huang Jianxiang shook his head.
On the court at this time, Li Yun, as the captain, was still explaining to the referee and using 100% effort to seek the hope that Du Zhenyu would not be sent off.
However, the referee Pereira shook his head firmly, crossed his hands and quickly waved them away, indicating that he did not accept any explanation.
Du Zhenyu lowered his head and slowly walked off the court.
Zhang Sheng sighed in the stands at this time. Du Zhenyu was really not to blame for this matter. He had already adopted the best defensive method.
Deparov, who is old and has become a monster, chose a tactic rarely used in Uzbekistan before - not passing through the wing, but directly driving through the middle to find the center.
And Shomurodov's final running position was also extremely good, without the clumsiness of a tall player at all, and his speed was also extremely good. It seems that he was beaten by Xiang Tiange before, just because the latter was faster in speed
Just better.
What Zhang Sheng and Lippi didn't know was that Shomurodov's potential was very good and his future development was also very good.
Born in 1995, he is only 22 years old this year, but he has already played for Rostov, a mid-range team in the Russian Premier League. He has a stable chance to play as a substitute and has scored two goals. In the 18/19 season, he slowly entered
The team’s main lineup.
In the 19/20 season, he exploded even more, scoring 11 goals and 2 assists in half a season, ranking second in the Russian Super League scorer list, and bringing the team into the qualifying area of the European League. Therefore, he even received
The attention of strong teams like Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.
Later, when he faced the Chinese team and the Japanese team in the Asian Cup, one of them had a crushing performance by penetrating one side of the opponent.
It is not incredible that the Chinese team is suffering from him now.
Now it depends on whether the Chinese team, with one less player, can withstand the opponent's counterattack.
