83. Another batch of young national youth generals
The Asian Youth Championship qualifiers were held in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, which saved the players of the Longteng team from the pain of travel, and the time of the game was from October 8th to October 12th, and the schedule was very intensive. However www.biquge.info the good news is that in order to make way for the Asian Cup qualifiers for the national team, which will be held at the same time on October 15, the Chinese League will take a break for one round, and the next round will not start until October 19, so these Longteng players who participated in the Asian Youth Championship qualifiers have enough time to rest.
In this Asian Cup qualifiers, Zhou Hai and Sun Yu were still selected, but they still played as substitutes and basically had no chance to play. In the qualifiers for the Asian Youth Championship, except for Zhou Zhou, who was injured and did not play as a starter, the rest of the players were the main starters. Zhou Wei is the main goalkeeper, Ma Yongli is the core of the defense, Xiao Yunfan is the main fullback, Yu Bo is the main left midfielder, Ding Huaiyi is the main right midfielder, Xiong Jian is responsible for the sweep and tandem of the middle of the midfield, and Zhu Xuhe was also arranged to play the back because of his strong defensive ability.
In the match on October 8, the Chinese team defeated the Malaysian team 4-0 with the brace of Yu Bo and Ding Huaiyi. In the game on October 10, Ding Huaiyi scored a hat trick, and the Chinese team finally defeated the Chinese Macau team with a score of 6:0.
On October 12, the Chinese team welcomed the strongest opponent in the group stage, the Japanese team. Historically, the national youth team has encountered the old problem of the Chinese team - a draw will qualify. Because the first two games in history were 3:0 and 3:1, respectively, the national youth team had a goal difference of only 5, while the Japanese team had 10. If the Chinese team loses, it will be lagging behind in the goal difference comparison with the second place in other groups, but fortunately, the national youth team at that time relied on an own goal of the Japanese team to draw 1:1 with the opponent and qualified in a thrilling way.
This time, the national youth team relied on the previous 10 goal difference to securely get a better group second to lock in the right to qualify, and this game is the battle for the first place in the group.
However, the Japanese team that played against the national youth team tonight was quite strong. This spring, the Japanese team came to China to defeat the Zhejiang Greentown 93 Youth Team, which is two years older than them. The latter ranked third in their age group at the just-concluded Liaoning National Games.
Before the game, when Li Bing said about the strength of the Japanese team, he emphasized: "We need to make more use of the overall defensive tactics and improve our concentration at any time to cut off their passes." Of course, I'd like to see us play a good overall game. ”
Hearing Li Bing's words, the boys from the Longteng team knew what the head coach meant, that is, to ask the players of the Longteng team to play offensive football in the club, and everyone said in unison: "Okay, coach!"
The good news for this game is that Zhou Zhou can finally start the game after this period of adjustment, and he played the first two games as a substitute, but his ability is obviously higher than his competitors.
After the start of the game, the national youth team with the Longteng team as the main core relied on rich game experience and stronger body to gain an advantage on the field. After all, the vast majority of the players of the Japanese national youth team are from their domestic high school league and college league, while the players of the Longteng team are hard-hitting in the professional league. Among the players this time, except for Xiong Jian, who entered the team late and trained in the team's U19 echelon, the other players, even Zhu Xuhe, who played the least, often had the opportunity to play as a substitute. As for players like Ma Yongli, Zhou Zhou, and Yu Bo, needless to say, they have basically occupied the main position of the Longteng team, and Ma Yongli is being cultivated by Zhang Sheng as a core player.
At the same time, the players of the Longteng team are also very familiar with the tactics of the Japanese team, and the Longteng team played this kind of slow and leisurely passing and control tactics in the former China B League. It's just that in the Chinese League, Zhang Sheng chose a more risky offensive tactic, but the basis of this tactic is still pass control, so the defense of the national youth team is very targeted.
In the 31st minute of the first half, the aggressive continuous pressure of the national youth team had an effect, Xiong Jian in the midfield used his tireless running up and down to grab the ball from the opponent's back, and then he immediately cooperated with Yu Bo on the left side, Yu Bo used his perverted physical fitness to directly crush the short and thin right defender of the Japanese team, and then decisively shot at the edge of the penalty area, the ball was saved by the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, but unfortunately in the face of this super powerful shot, the ball was not saved, and was picked up by the striker Tang Shi who returned home from the Brazilian Liga giants Botafogo, and the Japanese goalkeeper had nothing to do in the face of the close shot, the Chinese team led 1:0.
After conceding the goal, the Japanese team began to fight back with all its might, and at this time, the weakness of the national youth team's lack of organized players on the central axis of the front court was exposed, and the attacking core of the so-called "Liuyang" players, who were generally composed of players in the Portuguese second division or even the lower European leagues, could not bear this responsibility at all, and conceded the ball in the front court after holding the ball continuously. The national youth team had to rely on the two wings of Yu Bo and Ding Huaiyi to make a fuss, but the space on the side was too small after all, and the threat to the goal was small, and the Japanese team used the way of piling up heavy troops on the side to temporarily suppress the national youth team.
The national youth team slowly retracted the formation, and finally the Chinese national youth team ended the first half of the game with a score of 1:0.
At the start of the second half, Japan relied on a fast break to get a corner. And it was by taking advantage of this corner that Japan equalized. The goal was scored by the Chinese team's own players, which means that this was an own goal of the Chinese team, and the goal was scored by the only national youth player who was not a Longteng player in the backline. This is also the weakness of the national youth team at the back. Ma Yongli's ability is not weak, but there are still certain problems in command, and his own heading ability is not strong, resulting in the defense of the national youth team has always been a problem when it comes to set-pieces.
After losing the ball, the national youth team launched a counterattack, and Ding Huaiyi on the side used his skills to impact the opponent's defense again and again, and his many passes found Tang Shi and Xiang Boxu in the penalty area. It's a pity that these two players in charge of attacking the goal wasted Ding Huaiyi's passes again and again. The disadvantages of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League clubs have been showing the disadvantages of using foreign strikers over the years, a large number of striker players have no place of their own, and can only go to foreign low-level leagues to participate in the game, and the low-level games make their ability grow slowly, and the Chinese team once proud of the forward line is completely gone.
In the final stage of the game, the Chinese team took advantage of the midfield, allowing Zhu Xuhe and Xiong Jian to take turns to protect the midfield's forward midfield, allowing the two wings to break through, and the Japanese team defended all the way. After Li Bing replaced Xiang Boxu with Yang Ailong, the Chinese team still couldn't score, and the game ended 1:1.
In the end, the Chinese team still ranked second in the group with a small number of total goals, because the rules for qualifying for the preliminary round of the Asian Youth Championship require that when the second place is compared, the group of 5 teams is eliminated from the results of the bottom two, and the group of 4 teams is eliminated from the results of the bottom team, and the group of 3 teams has no right to compete, so it is 8 groups to choose 6 groups to be second. The Chinese team has 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, excluding 3 points with Macau, and the points are 4 points, which is better than Australia in Group F and Thailand in Group H, so it is determined to advance.
Zhang Sheng, who paid a little attention to this game, also had to feel sorry for the game of the national youth team, this year's national youth team has one less Qin Minghao, one Li Yun and one Deng Chaoqun than the previous one, the difference is really big. The advantage of the last session was in the middle, but the advantage of this session is on the side, it depends on how the head coach Li Bing makes up for his strengths and weaknesses.
After the players returned to Jiangcheng, Zhang Sheng arranged a two-day vacation for them, and then the team went directly to Beijing to challenge Beijing Baxi. This season's North Kyobaxi is a team that has no hope of surpassing and no worries about relegation. Facing Jiangcheng Longteng, who came from afar to challenge, their game was played without desire.
The Dragons, on the other hand, continued to simulate the tactics against Evergrande, this time based on defending a strong striker like Elkeson. The Longteng team put on a double strong center-back formation of McGovern and Lu Zhihui at the center back, and Kantega Sun Yu was also on the back, removing Mahrez on the side and going on Ding Huaiyi, Ivo still needs to make a midfield tackle. It's all a defensive-biased formation.
In the face of such a formation, the North Kyobaxi, who originally wanted to play defense, was blindsided, and after many temptations, it was found that the Longteng team had no desire to risk attacking, and the North Kyobaxi rarely fought a positional battle in front of the Longteng team. The defensive hardness of the Longteng team's formation came out, and under the interception of Kante and Sun Yu, it was difficult for the Baxi team's offense to beat the Longteng team's midfield. Until the end of the first half, the score of both sides was 0:0.
After the start of the second half, Zhang Sheng deliberately let Kante come forward to play the ball more, and Sun Yulai was responsible for the tandem and connection with the back line.
In the face of the sudden force of the midfield of the Longteng team, the Baxi team was very uncomfortable, and the players who had already attacked half of the court suddenly found that the front was all an illusion, not that the Longteng team did not want to attack, but that the Longteng team wanted to try their own defense. The Longteng team also used their strength to break the deadlock in the second half, scoring the goal and assisting Ding Huaiyi.
Under Zhang Sheng's advice, Ding Huaiyi played selflessly in the whole season, except for the selfless performance in the face of the Yi Teng team, he seemed very decent at other times, after all, his style of play was very physical, and it was easy to be violated, and Ding Huaiyi slowly learned to hide his skills in the attack again and again, and at the same time, the suddenness of passing became correspondingly stronger.
In the end, after the rotation after the goal, the Longteng team won 0:1 away. (To be continued.) )
