76. Suppressed
For this game,LETV Sports has set up an extremely large commentary team,Considering the difficulty of reconciling the fans,The broadcast of this game has multiple commentary,The main line is led by Huang Jianxiang,Zhang Sheng's old friend Li Gang and Tianjin famous Yu Genwei are three partners,There are many choices for the sub-line,There is Li Xin Dong Lu's cross talk commentary,There is a special Cantonese commentary......
But now they are all anxious without exception.
"It's too passive. Huang Jianxiang can't wait to help Pei Lan change people now, "Defend and counterattack, defend and counterattack, only defend and not counterattack, and it will definitely be no fun in the end." Qin Minghao in the midfield, and Nie Jiang on the front line are very divided, and there must be another player to help them make the ball and share the firepower. ”
"There's too much silver in the back, and it's too hard to share. Li Gang, who is also anxious, speaks Northeast Mandarin, if it were any other time, everyone would be absolutely funny, but now no one has the heart to pay attention to this.
The commentators were in a hurry, but Perrin felt very satisfied at this time, more than 30 minutes had passed in the first half of the game, the score was still 0:0, and the expected goal of ensuring that the first half did not concede a goal was just around the corner.
Since taking over the Chinese national team, Perrin has always been solid defensively, and the defensive intensity of the midfield is a guarantee that the team can enter the top 12.
Perran's idea can't be said to be much wrong, whether it is the Asian Cup when he took over before or the later qualifier warm-up match, there are very few who can completely break down the Chinese team's defense.
But he forgot one thing, that is, the intensity of the Top 12 was far greater than he imagined.
In the first 40 minutes of the first half, the Chinese team, which was tired of defense, obviously had a physical problem with the players, which is very rare in recent years.
In recent years, the Chinese Super League has been far more high-level than in history, so that the vast majority of domestic players are accustomed to the high-level confrontation intensity at the Asian level, and the players who can be selected for the Chinese national team are the best among them.
Defending the first half and dragging out the second half, Perrin had a good idea, but the shortcomings of his lack of experience at the level of the national team manager were exposed at once - there is a big difference between experiencing and not experiencing the second stage of qualifying, there is no atmosphere of giving everything for a World Cup place and contributing everything for national honor, and you will never realize how much physical consumption such an environment is.
When Perrin thought he would be able to get through the last few minutes of the first half, the South Korean team actually raised the tempo after 40 minutes of high-intensity play.
In the 41st minute, Son Heung-min and his teammates after continuous coordinated passes, the sudden high-speed start on the left side of the change of direction made Zhang Linpeng, who had already had physical problems, completely helpless, this breakthrough in exchange for a tactical foul and a yellow card for Zhang Linpeng, and the South Korean team also got a free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area.
Although Li Yun's header in the penalty area cleared the free kick of the South Korean team, as the only one who could play the ball on the back line and slightly press the Chinese team's defense out, he had to frequently help Zhang Linpeng, who had a yellow card, to fill the position, and the Chinese team's defense was pressed even more flat.
The Chinese team's predicament is also very clear to several commentators.
"Hold on. The last five minutes of the first half were gone. Huang Jianxiang was so anxious, "Nie Jiang has run to the half court to defend, what should I do if I counterattack?"
Li Gang took over the conversation: "Let's hold it first, we will definitely adjust in the second half." ”
Yu Genwei, who has always spoken little, also interjected: "The three-board axe before the end of the half of the Japanese and South Korean teams is their old routine, when we played with them, they were like this, and they are still like this." Coach Perrin should be prepared. ”
At this time, the commentary on the Korean team is constantly cheering for their team: "There is a problem with their physical fitness. This is an old problem of the Chinese team, and we must seize this opportunity. ”
In the analysis of the commentary, the South Korean team played a thick and fine offensive combination, first Sun Xingmin attracted Zhang Linpeng, Li Yun and even Zheng Zhi's defense on the left side, and then he relied on his strong personal ability to resist the defense and accurately distributed the ball to Wu Jae-shuo, who quickly distributed the ball to the right, and at this time on the left side of the Chinese team, only Shu Jun was defending alone.
If Zhang Linpeng can still rely on his body, desperately fight against Sun Xingmin, and barely defend a defense, then Shu Jun on the left side of the Chinese team is completely inferior when facing Chi Dongyuan, whether it is physical, speed, technology or awareness.
Shu Jun, who plucked up the courage to go up to defend, was unexpectedly easily shaken by Ji Dongyuan, and all Shu Jun could do was to put Ji Dongyuan down behind him, and like Zhang Linpeng, Shu Jun also got a yellow card.
Before half-time, both wing-backs were yellow carded, and it was fair to say that Perran's rigid tactics were on the verge of collapse.
South Korea, who won a free-kick on the right, were very experienced and slowly planned their tactics, grinding the time to the end of first-half stoppage time, ready to press the whistle.
In this free kick, the South Korean team sent as many as seven players into the Chinese team's penalty area. In fact, this is also the characteristic of the Korean team in set-piece tactics.
Shu Jun also got a yellow card, and the two wings of the Chinese team became the focus of the South Korean team's attack. Huang Jianxiang suddenly had a bad premonition, "If you play like this, you will lose the ball sooner or later." ”
"Hold on. Li Gang was cheering up the players on the field, "The stoppage time of the first half has passed, and this is the last attack of the South Korean team. ”
"Yes. We are tired, and so are they. The intensity of the top 12 matches can be understood by those who have experienced it, and the South Korean team is also playing with one breath. The only time in history that the Chinese team reached the top 10 of the World Cup, Yu Genwei was a witness, and he had the most say in this, "Our breath can't be vented." ”
When Sun Xingmin's ball came out, the two people who had just received the yellow card were obviously affected, and they reached a limit both psychologically and physically, first Shu Jun missed people in front of him and failed to play a role in blocking, and then Zhang Linpeng failed to jam Li Qinglong's position, allowing the latter to head the far corner.
South Korea took advantage of a fierce attack before the end of the first half to break the deadlock and turn the score into 1:0.
"Oops!", Huang Jianxiang looked remorseful, "I lost the ball, there were continuous leaks in the penalty area, and there were leaks, Zengcheng saved a lot of shots before, but this time he couldn't save it." ”
'It was a terrible goal. Li Gang, who was already very dark, looked even darker at this time, "Losing the goal in stoppage time in the first half not only means falling behind, but also a very big blow to the team's morale." ”
'Now we can only hope for a change in midfield. Yu Genwei actually didn't believe in his heart that Perrin had any means to save the current situation, and if there was a way, a capable head coach should make adjustments in the first half.
With the referee's whistle blowing, the first half ended.
The players of the South Korean team are obviously very energetic, although Son Xingmin did not score, but he walked off the field with a smile with Li Qinglong, who scored, and on the Chinese team's side, the captain Zheng Zhi didn't know whether he was unhappy or tired after losing the ball, and the whole person didn't have much energy when he looked at it, Li Yun pulled Qin Minghao to his side and said something with a cautious face, while the other players walked to the locker room with their heads down.
In the locker room of the Chinese team, from Perran's face, he couldn't see what impact a goal behind him had, he looked indifferent, maybe he could really accept the score of 0:1.
After the players had changed their clothes, Perrin began to lay out the task for the second half: "It's not a big deal to concede a goal. Our goal before the game was to keep the draw and try to concede fewer goals. The Round of 12 is a long process and there are some away games where we have to make trade-offs. ”
"In the second half, we....", before Perrin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yun.
Li Yun raised his hand and said, "Mr. coach, I have something to say." ”
Pei Lan glanced at Li Yun, pressed his hands down, stopped Li Yun from continuing to speak, and then said: "I know what you mean, but the overall strategy I have already said, keeping the third place in the group and striving for the second place in the group is our predetermined goal." So it's important to try to concede fewer goals and keep a clean sheet at home in South Korea and Iran. In the second half, we continued to play defensive counterattacks, Zhang Linpeng and Shu Jun, you have to pay attention to your actions and don't eat cards anymore. ”
"I think we should be more resilient defensively. Li Yun did not give up his opinion, and when Pei Lan finished arranging the tactics, he still insisted on putting forward his opinion.
In fact, long before this game, Li Yun communicated with Perrin in private, and he thought that it was better to maintain a certain attacker in the front court, and at the same time do high pressing and fouling in time, than to put a bunch of guards to defend to the death.
However, Peilan did not quite agree with Li Yun's statement, and the preparation for the Olympic Games made Nie Jiang and Zou Weijia, the absolute main force unable to participate in the national team training, which led to their lack of much cooperation with other players at all.
Based on these two concerns, Perrin believes that the tactics of high pressure and pressing are not suitable for the current Chinese team at all.
So choosing to stick to it has become the safest means for Perrin to think.
And even if the away loss to South Korea, the strongest team in the group, is not a big deal, striving for South Korea, Iran's home draw or concede fewer goals, and get back at home, and at the same time grab points on other teams in the group, through the advantage of goal difference to get a position, is the idea of the top 12 that Perrin has long planned.
Seeing Pei Lan's calm but resolute expression, Li Yun stopped talking again.
After the start of the second half, the South Korean team continued the tactics of the first half, they continued to impact the two wings of the Chinese team, Peilan made corresponding countermeasures, Feng Xiaoting and Ma Yongli went to the two sides to help Zhang Linpeng and Shu Jun defend, Li Yun made up for the position, and Zheng Zhi frequently retreated from the back to wipe the back line's buttocks, plus Zengcheng's excellent performance, for a while, after halftime, the Chinese team that had recovered physically was firmly guarding their door.
The goal was barely held, but several commentators were unhappy.
'There haven't been any changes in the midfield. Huang Jianxiang was obviously very dissatisfied, "I think this is debatable." ”
Li Gang is obviously also a person who is not afraid of things: "It's clear that you don't want to win like this, and the situation on the field is not only a gap in strength, I think there is a problem with your thinking." ”
"Now the front and back of the Chinese team are completely disconnected. Yu Genwei brought the topic back to the field, "Zou Weijia has no way in the front court, even if he gets the ball, he doesn't know who to give it to, Nie Jiang is isolated, and he can't give full play to his flexible running advantages." ”
Just when several commentators were discussing the tactics of the Chinese team, under the command of Li Yun, the Chinese team played a rare attack.
This time it was Li Yun and Zheng Zhi in the backfield who broke off Gu Zizhe's ball, and then the former passed the ball to Qin Minghao, who was rapidly advancing in the midfield, and the latter also knew that the South Korean team would definitely not let himself pass the ball comfortably, and when the ball came, he did not make any pause, and directly kicked the ball directly, and the direction of the football changed and flew to the right side.
Nie Jiang's speed at this time played an advantage. The South Korean team pressed up to attack, the two fullbacks were very forward, and when Nie Jiang plugged in, Wu Jae-seok was actually thrown out of a position by Nie Jiang.
As a young player, he still plays right-back in the club, and has never played at the level of World Cup qualifiers, just because the South Korean team really has no good left full-back available (the strongest Kim Jin-so sat on the bench at Hoffenheim for a long time and failed to be selected for the national team), Oh Jae-seok was forced to be placed at left-back by Stillik, and it can be said that he is the biggest variable in the back line of the South Korean team.
In this attack, Nie Jiang chose the point that was arranged before the game, and targeted to hit Wu Jae-suk's back.
"Nie Jiang took the ball on the right side, no one defended, and the left side of the Korean team was empty. Huang Jianxiang also swept away the doubts about the team's tactics before, "This is a good opportunity." ”
The football was controlled by Nie Jiang at his feet, in a more reasonable position, in the face of the interception of Hong just coming over in front, and Wu Jae-seok desperately chasing after him, Nie Jiang calmly made a change of direction in the high-speed dribbling.
Hong Zheng stood very firmly, and was not eaten by Nie Jiang's first feint of changing direction, but Nie Jiang's next move to prepare to pass the ball to Zou Weijia made Hong Zheng have to come up and block it, but unfortunately this time Nie Jiang was still a feint.
After making a passing move, Nie Jiang suddenly took the ball and dunked it, shaking off Hong Zhengzheng's frontal defense, and he had a chance to break directly into the South Korean team's penalty area.
"Nice feints. Huang Jianxiang shouted loudly, "Continuous change of direction, false rumors, Nie Jiang is about to break through." ”
"Oops. Wu Jae-seok tripped Nie Jiang behind him, this is a tactical foul, he will definitely have to eat a card, and even a red card!", Li Gang couldn't wait to go on the court to test the pressure on the referee.
"Yellow card. The referee gave Oh Jae-seok a few warnings. Yu Genwei also felt very sorry, it would be good if the other party was directly sent off with a red card, "But the Chinese team got a free kick in a very good position, and the most important thing is that everyone can finally take a breath without being suppressed all the time." ”
'You have to take the opportunities from set-pieces. Huang Jianxiang said his expectations.
