Although the Chinese side is not very satisfied with the 1-0 score, they very much hope to further expand the score. On the other side of the Japanese team, they were dissatisfied with their team's backwardness. They always tried to pull back the score and prove their strength. However, this game was obviously not a fast-paced attack match. Until the half-time, the score of both sides was still 1-0.
Although the Japanese team made the most ferocious attack after losing the ball, what they did in the end was to contribute four meaningless shots again, and the biggest achievement was that they did not give China any chance to shoot again: Although China had another long pass from the side near the end of the first half, Zhang Linpeng was the best player to pass that time Directly kick the ball out of the bottom line, even if Gao shunyao can't save it back, naturally can't form a shot.
Such a scene, until the beginning of the second half, the Japanese team still had a large number of players on the pitch. Compared with China, they seemed to play much better.
For example, now, on the left side of the road, Xiangchuan zhensi is making a breakthrough with the ball. Although he is facing Zhang Linpeng, a famous player who has been appointed by Lippi to be capable of traveling in Europe recently, as a player who has already played in Manchester United, he certainly doesn't care about the so-called capable of traveling in Europe. In front of Zhang Linpeng, he easily controlled the ball and did all kinds of tricks.
Fake a wiggle to the left, then another fake to try to change direction. Two successive fireworks, Xiangchuan zhensi himself did not move, but let Zhang Linpeng slightly back. In front of Zhang Linpeng, he had the advantage, that is, he could force Zhang Linpeng to retreat step by step with a few left and right shakes. From the scene, it seems that the Japanese team suppressed the Chinese team very badly.
However, the fact is that Shinji Kawabata himself is very clear. Although it seems that the Japanese team has great prestige, he is very clear that this advantage is meaningless.
Although he can force Zhang Linpeng not to steal, he can't find any chance to break through the opponent's defense. Zhang Linpeng's position is very close to the flank, and Xiangchuan zhensi basically has no chance to attack from the flank, and there is no way to let changyouyou come up to help himself. His best choice is to cut in, but once cut in, Zhang Linpeng will cut off Chang youyou's support, and he will be attacked by Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting. Xiangchuan zhensi is still very confident in his own technology. In the case of one-to-one, he doesn't care about the players of the Chinese team. However, if the situation becomes one-to-two, or even one to three, and he still can't find support, then no matter how big his ability is, he will die.
In other words, although he has the advantage, he has no way to deal with his opponent's tactics of shrinking and being ready to join hands in robbery at any time.
Under such circumstances, Kawabata Shinji has been depressed for more than one match. Whether in the club or in the national team, it's always a big problem for him. After all, he is more able to break through the ball with two or three players than with his teammates.
Because of this, when he was at Manchester United, he also stressed to the media that he wanted to play in the middle rather than on the left.
But in Manchester United, his complaint is invalid. In the national team, it is also invalid. Just as Manchester United won't let him compete with more important local players, Japan has Keisuke Honda. He can't play on the side, and it's Shinji kawawa who plays on the side.
Helplessly look at the middle of keiyou Honda, Kagawa Shinji a foot to pass the ball in the past. He knows very well in his heart that he doesn't have any chance to break through, and Honda can't do the same. He's not a player who is good at breaking through, especially in the middle. It's totally impossible. The suppression of the Japanese team can only fall back and forth among a few of them, and there's basically no hope to rush in.
Sure enough, keiyou Honda got the ball and immediately thought of a strong outburst from the middle. But Zheng Zhi, who was beside him, came close to him for the first time, forced him to slow down, and made his raw food hopeless. He passed the ball with one foot, trying to give it to Okazaki Shensi on the other side. However, as soon as the corner was passed, Feng Xiaoting cut it off.
It's OK to pass outside the penalty area, but it's really hard to penetrate.
The defensive tactics of the Chinese team left the Japanese players at a loss. China's defense, even in Japan's home court, has only lost one goal. Although their personal ability is average, their tactics are excellent, which we have to admit.
At the bottom of their hearts, they can only attribute this to Lippi's great effect on the training of Chinese players after he arrived in China - although they know that the Chinese team played like this before Lippi came, they are still willing to think so. And the only thing that makes them willing to admit that China is doing well is that the Chinese coach did not choose to attack too foolishly, but used the defensive tactics to the extreme, so that the Japanese team was helpless.
Chinese commentators will worry about the physical strength of the Chinese team, but the players of the Japanese team will not think of this. In their view, they can only say that they have their own ability to play against the Chinese team.Japanese players have always been questioned about being too homogeneous. They are good at catching the ball in front of the court and they have good skills. However, the ability of breakthrough has always been the weakness of Japanese football with poor physical quality. Very few players have enough ability in this aspect, especially few players from Europe. A group of organizers, however, have no one to do the most important breakthrough work, so they are embarrassed.
Under such circumstances, it may be better to use the local players who have good breakthrough ability to rush up. However, several European players in Japan are all precious, and the coaches dare not leave them at will. Several midfielders are all European players. Who dares to let Manchester United players play as substitutes?
As a result, naturally, the Japanese team could not break through. If it's a home game, they can try to use the side to push forward, open the width, and strive for goals. But in the away game, they are not familiar with the field, and they can't even play such tactics. Where is it so easy to break through?
They are good at passing, but no one can break through the defense. What's the use of a good pass? They can move forward, but they don't even have a bridgehead in front of them. How can Yingfeng play? They can organize, but the Chinese team suffocates in the backcourt, that is, they will not move. What is the way to organize? In the face of this situation, no one can help.
Standing on the court, looking at Keiyo Honda, Shinji Kagawa wanted to say something, but in the end, it was just a sigh. Some words he knows are useless. It's not an important game. He is too lazy to ask to play in the middle.
"Now the defense is very good, and the Japanese attack has failed again. In an interview before the match, keiyou Honda said that the Chinese team has played well recently, but it's just good luck - if so, it seems that his luck is really bad. Because if it goes on like this, the chance for China to win will be greatly enhanced. If this game can really be won, we are really lucky. "
Looking at the Japanese team's breakthrough failure, the commentator of the Chinese team also spoke excitedly. Such a scene has appeared many times in the first half, and now the commentator is also very happy when such a problem occurs again.
At the end of the first half, they were worried that China's 1-0 situation might be overturned by their opponents, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about this for the time being. The defense of the Chinese team is still not too many problems, although the other side's players are good, but also take the Chinese team helpless.
The game is more and more relaxed, the second half has already started, such a game is still going on, the Japanese team has always been the offensive fruitless, quite gratifying. And what's more gratifying is that we can see that the Japanese players are also a little impatient.
The front court players of the Japanese team have been unable to get too good breakthrough, while the back court players are also moving forward at this time, and their defense has revealed some flaws in the back court, which is just for the Chinese team to try to use.
As the commentator expected, soon, the Chinese team's counterattack began. The players of the Chinese team who got the ball didn't attack immediately. Feng Xiaoting gave the ball to Rong Hao, and Rong Hao ran forward with the ball. Seeing that he didn't have any chance, he gave it to Zheng Zhi in the middle.
As the hub of the team, Zheng Zhi's task on the pitch is still the most important one. After getting the ball, on the one hand, he walked slowly forward with the ball, looking up at the movement of his teammates around him, looking for opportunities. He knows that it's not easy for him to continue to make breakthroughs in the middle. Compared with his own breakthroughs, he prefers to rely on his teammates to complete the task.
However, it is not easy to complete this step. The players of the Chinese team are no better than the Japanese team. The Japanese team is weak in breaking through, but the Chinese team is not good in breaking through or passing. Even facing a more open defense, they have to pay more attention. Otherwise, Zhang Linpeng's passing out of the bottom line just now is a worst example.
He took the ball, step by step approaching the back court, and in front of him, hasebu has also stopped. Carefully observing the opponent's position, Zheng Zhi also found the opportunity at this time, his one foot pass, the ball suddenly kicked out!
"Gao Lin! Gao Lin got the ball! Gao Lin is breaking through. Gao Lin rushes to the forbidden area! "
As if the new world had been discovered, the voice of the commentator suddenly became excited. The Chinese team did not waste the opportunity, Gao Lin seized the rare opportunity, now, they have the opportunity!
