Uzbekistan's offense and defense are very distinctive.

The central defender combination of Ismailov and Klimets is tall and has excellent defense of the high ball, and the defenders on the two wings are extremely fond of assisting, and the offensive ratio of the two wings is as high as 73% in three games, showing that this team is very dependent on the side routine.

But the attack's reliance on the wings will inevitably reveal a fatal weakness, and that is the space behind the full-backs. Once the pace of the game becomes fast, or the counter-attack is timely, it will be difficult for the Uzbek full-backs to switch between attack and defence in a fast-paced attack, especially on their right side.

In the first three games, Uzbekistan's multiple shots on goal were due to defensive failures on the right flank, and the goal conceded against Iran was also a mistake on this flank.

For Uzbekistan, which attaches great importance to attacking on the wing, the lack of ability of the wide players puts the team in a very awkward position both offensively and defensively. At this time, the weakness of the tall Klimets and Ismailov came out, because the two tall central defenders will undoubtedly be slower than the opponent in lateral movement and turn-back pursuit, in order to solve this problem, Uzbekistan's head coach Babayan chose another measure is to let the midfielder Haidarov retreat to fill the position, however, Haidarov has to keep an eye on the opponent interspersed in the middle, and he often cannot return to the position.

Haidarov's task is so heavy, the reason is that Uzbekistan's attack is extremely dependent on Akhmedov, as an organizational midfielder, he must often step forward to participate in the offensive organization, Haidarov must fill in for him, it is conceivable that a back has to fill in the position of the central defender, but also to fill in the position of the two fullbacks, and at the same time must also help the organizational back in front of him to wipe his ass, and his strength is not very outstanding He will often take care of one or the other.

Akhmedov needs to step forward so often, and the other players are not able to help, as well as the poor tactical details of head coach Babayan.

Babayan, who plays the main 4-2-3-1 tactics, is actually about the same level as most of the local Chinese coaches who can coach in the Chinese Super League, and in the case of an excellent midfielder like Akhmedov, he has put all his bets on him, which is also the peak level of a manager at the Asian level, relying on a star to play a single-core tactic, and he can do everything when he encounters a weak team, and he is helpless when he encounters a strong team.

Of course, Babayan has his own difficulties, look at his main striker - Sergeyev, a chicken rib existence in Beijing Guoan, he has made 14 appearances in the Chinese Super League and scored only 1 goal, such a level is honestly far from Nie Jiang's substitute Wu Lei. If you look at the 3 in 4-2-3-1, except for Jeparov, who has excellent footwork and the ability to take one or two free kicks, his passing and running position is very average, and Babayan has no choice but to play him as a midfielder, because the other players are even worse.

Compared to the average strength of the players of the top Asian teams, the head coach can only circle around this 4-2-3-1 formation - the only thing that is a little new is to use the side to attack, transfer the ball to the middle, and let the players in the team shoot from a distance in the middle, such a team is really not enough to see when facing Lippi.

In just ten minutes of the opening game, the Chinese team relied on high pressure and the pull of the midfield, and had three consecutive shots on goal.

"This match reminds me of the Top 10 in 2001, when we played Uzbekistan at home. He Wei is still the host of this game, "At that time, we also got the advantage in the midfield, and kept attacking the opponent's two wings, hoping that this game can have that result." ”

"I remember we won 2-0 at home in that game, with one goal each from Li Weifeng and General Fan. Xu Yang, who was his partner, blurted out to the score and the scorers at that time, "I believe that the boys of the national football team will not be worse than their predecessors." ”

The Chinese team's wave after wave of offensive made the Chinese fans watching the game full of confidence in the victory of this game.

However, in the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, there was an injury on the Chinese team's side, Ding Huaiyi was hit by the opponent's defender in the attack and injured the knee of his left leg and was forced to leave the game, and this time the injury was not light, although there was no fracture but the bone contusion was at least, Lippi could only frown and replace Ding Huaiyi with Wu Lei.

"Ding Huaiyi was carried down. He Wei was also worried, "I hope there won't be a big problem, Xiao Ding is the first choice on the left side of the Chinese team." ”

Xu Yang was more worried about the impact of the injury on Ding Huaiyi: "The injury is not light. This is what technical players are most afraid of, and God must bless our football elves. ”

After Ding Huaiyi left the game, the Chinese team's attack was a little silent for a while, after all, Wu Lei still needed time to adapt. However, Wu Lei's characteristics were fully excavated by Lippi, he used Wu Lei's top-level explosiveness after the first touch of the ball, and frequently hit the back of the Uzbek right fullback.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Uzbekistan was punished, and Jeparov, who returned to the defense, was forced to make a tactical foul on Qin Minghao, not only received a yellow card himself, but also gave the Chinese team a very good position free kick.

"It's an opportunity. He Wei is looking forward to it, "On the Chinese team's side, Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu have a good free kick kung fu. At a distance of twenty-three or four meters, slightly off from the middle, it is the best position. ”

"If the Uzbek side doesn't solve the problem of defending on the wings, there will be no less free kicks like this. Xu Yang looked further, "But we also have to grasp every opportunity." ”

It was really Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu who were responsible for taking the free kick, the two of them stood in front of the ball and discussed for a while, and then cooperated, after Qin Minghao ran, Xu Mingyu also ran, but Xu Mingyu stopped halfway through the run, but Qin Minghao did not pause, rushed to the football and kicked the ball out.

Under Qin Minghao's volley, the football flew directly to the weak hand of Uzbek goalkeeper Lobarov, and when he rushed over with a slightly left position, it was too late, and finally Qin Minghao's curling ball broke the deadlock for the Chinese team.

"Finally a goal. He Wei announced the score with a smile, "The Chinese team is leading 1:0, and this goal came earlier than the previous game." Qin Minghao scored his first goal in the round of 12. ”

"Qin Minghao basically suppressed Akhmedov throughout the first half, and Lippi's tactical tuning was really first-class. "As a person who understands the ball, Xu Yang knows the changes that Lippi has brought to the team.

When the first half ended, Uzbekistan, whose tactics were completely suppressed, was able to hold on to the score of 0:1.

At halftime, Zhang Sheng and Lippi received the unfortunate news that Ding Huaiyi's bone was not fractured, but he had a bone contusion and needed at least a month of retreat.

Zhang Sheng can be regarded as a long breath, he knows the hardships of Ding Huaiyi's pursuit of football, and also knows his persistence, he very much hopes that this player with extreme talent and can only be a half-way monk can have a stable career.

After the start of the second half, Uzbekistan's head coach Babayan made a substitution adjustment, the yellow card Tukhtahujaev was replaced by Hashimov, replacing an old player with a young player, and the intention of desperately defending the half was very obvious.

At the same time, Babayan strengthened the midfielder's pressing of Qin Minghao, hoping to interrupt the rhythm of the Chinese team by restricting him.

In the first ten minutes of the second half, the Uzbek team could still rely on good physical fitness and non-stop fouls to stop the Chinese team's attack, but after Haidarov and the newcomer Hashimov both received yellow cards, their defense looked shaky.

"Wu Lei's performance today is very good. He Wei was happy to see another Chinese player playing well, "He is a big threat when he breaks through on the left side." ”

"Wu Lei's performance in Shanghai SIPG this season is also very good. Now he has scored 14 goals in the Chinese Super League, the league has not yet ended, the number of goals has been the same as last year, and if there are more goals in the next games, he will break his own Chinese Super League scoring record. Xu Yang took over the topic, "Being able to play with a good player like Hulk is still a lot of growth." It is said that the SIPG team will have a lot of money next season, and I hope he can learn more and grow faster. ”

Zhang Sheng, who was watching the game, also admired this player very much. What he didn't know was that Wu Lei would explode in the 2018 season, beating countless outstanding foreign aids, and winning the top scorer of the Chinese Super League that year. The emergence of Zhang Sheng has led to the improvement of the overall level of the league, and players like Wu Lei are also rising, and their development is even better than in history.

As the game progressed, Qin Minghao cleverly handed over the ball more to Zheng Zhi in the back to organize in tandem, and Uzbekistan's midfield formation was forced to stretch longer, and the Chinese team took advantage of this feature to once again use a rapid way to cause their central defender Ismailov to foul in front of the penalty area, and at the same time get a yellow card, give the Chinese team a free kick in a better position than the last time.

"Is this a penalty?" Because the Chinese team's attack was advancing very quickly, He Wei didn't see it too clearly, and thought that the ball in front of the penalty line was a penalty, "Oh! almost entered the penalty area, it was a free kick, but this position is very good." Let's see if Qin Minghao can score twice from a free kick. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be a good story. Xu Yang smiled, "As far as I know, only Lu Bofei in the 2012 season has a record of scoring two free kicks in the Chinese Super League, and the national team has not yet done so." Of course, we are also very much looking forward to having a player break this record. ”

This time for the free kick, Qin Minghao chose a different way to shoot, because of the position, he stood alone in front of the ball, after carefully observing the human wall, he chose to shoot with a strong low flat ball, and Xu Mingyu, who was standing in the human wall, jumped up with a sharp heart.

The ball flew to the goal of the Uzbekistan team at high speed, Lobarov played his ability to save the ball this time, and blocked the ball out of the goal with long legs, but this is only a temporary safety, after the ball was bounced into the penalty area, it was the Chinese team players who grabbed the second drop point, at this time everyone did not see who it was, only to see him shoot with a foot, over Lobarov, who was lying on the ground, already desperate, and the football flew into the goal steadily.

"Qin Minghao! was pounced. He Wei shouted with regret, and then roared happily, "Supplementary shot! Beautiful! The ball is in, and China is leading 2:0." Who is it? Oh, it should be Nie Jiang, he has already rushed out to celebrate. ”

"Haha, beautiful. Following on from the previous game, Nie Jiang scored again. Xu Yang also grinned, "The Chinese team was really reborn suddenly, and the score of 2:0 was basically no longer on the other side." ”

"With 17 minutes to go, we were going to stay on the pitch and get the three points. He Wei also looked very relaxed at this time, "To be honest, I still thought it was a dream to be able to explain two such games of the Chinese team in a row." ”

"You're happier than me, and you're more than me. "The two commentators have already started a business blow to each other.

The change of the organizational core of the Chinese team made Uzbekistan lose confidence in winning, Babayan first replaced the right midfielder Bikmaev with Shukurov, strengthened the defense on the right side, and finally replaced Sergeyev with Abduklikov, which was a routine three substitutions.

Lippi's substitutions have more experimental newcomer practices, first Huang He replaced Zhang Linpeng, and then Tao Wentao replaced Xu Mingyu to see if these two players could take over the two main positions.

Judging from the final result, Lippi is still satisfied with several substitutes, because the Chinese team did not weaken the offensive because of the departure of the three main players, until the end of the game, the Chinese team had the opportunity to score again, but the Uzbekistan side was determined to defend, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, 0:2, the score of the home and away team was displayed on the home team's scoring screen, and the Chinese team won a victory again.

After the game, Lippi elegantly smoked a cigar and returned to the hotel with the team, and from the photos taken by reporters, he could deeply feel the atmosphere of a big man.

In the previous post-match press conference, Lippi also looked complacent, praising Uzbekistan as a winner, saying that the other party had caused a lot of trouble for himself, and he and the team had worked hard to win.

Regarding Ding Huaiyi's injury, Lippi also made a report, whether he could catch up with the game in November, Lippi failed to give a positive answer.

And the domestic news exploded again, like the previous game, the news of the Chinese team's victory once again landed in the first hot search, and various media and self-media began to praise the players who scored goals, praised the players who assisted, praised the injured players, praised the players who had several wonderful actions, Qua Lippi, praised several clubs that sent players to the national team, and finally Zhang Sheng was also mentioned many times.

The photo of Lippi smoking a cigar was even typed with P: "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here is spicy chicken." ”

Several post bars that have always been famous for their high-yield jokes, such as the back pot bar and the anti-pressure bar, have also sent an army of jokers and soul P figure players, adding various screenshots of the game to the jokes, so that the hot search keeps swiping the national football screen.

At this time, the horror of the topic of football swept all traffic.
