118. The powerful national junior team (10)
Nie Jiang's turn to get rid of it made both Li Xin and Dong Lu excited.
Because of Xhachary's previous follow-up defense, now Nigeria only have Ike as a central defender, their gap in the middle is infinite, and the right midfielder Ag Chukudi is desperately chasing back, but he does not dare to play, he has a yellow card.
Nie Jiang burst into the edge of the penalty area without hindrance, and Ike had to come up to grab Nie Jiang's ball at this time.
Seeing Ike's departure, Nie Jiang made his own choice, and he shot directly with his feet.
With such a wide area in front of the big penalty area, Ike alone couldn't block all the shooting angles, he could only do his best and stretch out his legs to block Nie Jiang's shot.
However, Nie Jiang's shot was with an arc, and after easily bypassing Ike's legs, he turned a corner in the air and went straight to the right post of the goal.
Nigeria's goalkeeper Yudu also did his best to save the ball, but Nie Jiang's ball shot at too awkward angles, Yudu's hand didn't touch the ball at all, and the ball bounced on the inside of the right post and drilled into the net.
This is an absolute ten-point angle!
After failing to attack with speed, the Chinese national junior team finally used the overall cooperation to break through the Nigerian team's defense, and they led 1:0 in the fifteenth minute of the first half.
Rick Link's pre-game tactics worked.
After scoring the goal, Nie Jiang slipped and knelt and rushed to the sidelines, and his teammates also surrounded him tightly.
"Nie Jiang got rid of it beautifully!" Li Xin shouted, "You can shoot." Good ball, this ball Nie Jiang shot beautifully! What can the goalkeeper do about this kind of shooting? There is no way. Nie Jiang's archery skills have really grown too much, and his shooting action reminds me of Pato. Haha, I think nine times out of ten, I steal from Pato. ”
Dong Lu also nodded on the side and said: "The last time I played the national junior team against Ecuador, I said that in the second half of this year, Nie Jiang is no longer the player who played completely by natural feeling before, and he is now slowly realizing his talent, becoming more and more like a modern center forward." ”
After praising Nie Jiang, Li Xin also commented on the attack of the Chinese national junior team just now: "Before the game, we all guessed that the attack of the national junior team should be a strong attack on the right side, using the speed of Xiang Tiange. This time, they suddenly changed their style of play, and from the left side, they relied on the overall attack to advance and complete the goal. I think that's a good sign, at least from the performance just now, the Nigerian team is extremely uncomfortable with this type of tactical play, and we should continue to play like this. ”
If Rick Link heard Li Xin's words, he would definitely feel that the hero saw something about the same thing. After Nigeria's kick-off again, the Chinese national junior team stabilized the defense, used Zeng Prosperous's tandem in the midfield, and used several players with fast counterattack speed in the front court to play behind Nigeria, so that the distance between the opponent's midfield and the front court became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more difficult to play good opportunities through positional attack, and they began to keep getting up and looking for three strong players on their front line to look for opportunities.
But the probability of success of such a long pass attack is similar to that of the lottery, if the opposing player makes a mistake, his opportunity will come, and if the opponent keeps it more steadily, then come again next time.
It should be said that the national junior team can have this performance now, which is also related to the fact that although their physical fitness is not as good as Nigeria, it is not backward in all aspects.
Now these players in the national junior team, even if Lu Yangyang is born short, his physical confrontation ability is not bad, and the attribute of bounce is a great contrast with his height, as for the other players, at the Asian level, the physical fitness is absolutely first-class.
This situation is also thanks to Zhang Sheng's extensive use of the player acceleration charm provided by the system, so that players who would have taken more time to grow up are now cashing in on their talents in advance in all aspects.
Like a few players who are now playing the main force in the national junior team, Nie Jiang will not talk about it, he has been taken care of by Zhang Sheng, and he has also obtained a systematic task bonus, at this stage when the task is about to end, Nie Jiang's ability value has come to 84, this value can be played by any team in the Chinese Super League on the offensive side, even with foreign aid.
In addition to Nie Jiang, there are several other Longteng team players on the field now, Huang Dawei, who has the highest ability index, his 76 figure is even a little higher than Zhou Wei, the goalkeeper of the Longteng team who is now preparing for the game in Dubai, followed by Xiang Tiange's 74, Liming's 73, Zeng Prosperity's 71, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun's 70, Wang Xing and Lu Yangyang, one is a non-summoning player's ability value is rising slowly, and now it is only 62, and the other is called late, and it is less than 60.
Even if such a squad is put in the Chinese Super League, there is no problem with relegation after a season. Compared with today's opponent Nigeria, it can be said that it is not false at all, because the strongest opponents Nwakari and Osimhen are about 80 ability.
The reason why the current Chinese national junior team does not dare to attack is mainly because in addition to the players of the Longteng team, the ability value of other national junior team players is a little worse, and most of the players are in their early 60s, which is not a small gap with the players who are generally fast 70 on the Nigerian side.
When the national junior team tightened the formation and relied on better tactics to confront Nigeria on the field, the opponent really didn't have any good chances.
In the seventeenth minute of the first half, Osimhen retreated very deep from the top of the penalty area to the midfield to pick up Nwakari, wanting to connect with him, Liming also followed Osimhen out of the penalty area, not allowing him to have a chance to turn around, because in the entire national junior team except for goalkeeper Huang Dawei, Liming is the strongest body, only he can push out and not let Osimhen turn.
Osimhen was also very smart, knowing that he couldn't get the ball and turned easily, he went straight back to Nwakari's pass, and Nwakari wisely turned from the middle to find Ag Chukudi on the left, who squeezed Zhang Huachen with his body and sent the ball to Bombaya.
Bombaya is also very decisive to pass the ball directly, Osimhen has already only turned around and ran into the penalty area when he only put the ball back, and when he ran to the penalty area, Bombaya's pass also fell in response, and Osimhen directly jumped to fight for the ball.
Dawn, who had been following Osmeen on the run, also ate the object of his defense, followed Osmeen closely like a shadow, and when the opponent's ball passed, he jumped off and intercepted the ball before Osmeen and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
Dawn's ball was blocked, but he was knocked to the ground by Osmeen, clutching his shoulders in pain.
This ball can't be said to be intentional by Osmeen, his goal is also the ball, not a person, and after the collision between the two this time, Osmeen himself was lying in the penalty area, holding his knees with his hands and unable to get up for a long time.
The sudden injury of two people interrupted the game on the field, and the referee decisively blew the whistle to stop the game, and at the same time signaled the team doctors on both sides to enter the field quickly.
This ball Dawn was hit by the opponent after jumping to the top of the ball, so his protection measures were not as good as Osmeen's, and his body fell directly to the ground after being hit in the air, which can be said to be very dangerous.
And Osmeen is even more innocent, in order to avoid Dawn's body after landing, his knee landed at an extremely dangerous angle, judging from the slow-motion replay, it is really difficult for Osmeen not to end up this time.
After a period of intense treatment, Dawn was carried off the field.
Rick Link also warmed up the substitute central defender Guo Tianyu on the bench at this time, the latter is also another strong central defender in the national junior team, if only in terms of height and weight, he is even stronger than Liming, but because his comprehensive ability in other aspects is not as good as Liming, he did not get the opportunity, but when Liming is not present, he is the main force.
Seeing the situation on the field, Li Xin was also extremely worried: "Liming has to bear it this time, from the situation just now, he was directly carried out of the field, I don't know what the situation is?"
"I was still quite worried when they bumped into each other just now, especially when Dawn fell from the sky to the ground. Dong Lu also expressed his concerns, but he then analyzed with great experience, "But when the team doctor talked to him just now, he could speak, which proves that there is no problem with the head and neck, and it may be a shoulder injury." I just don't know if this injury is serious or not. ”
"I think I'm going to be replaced. Seeing Guo Tianyu get up to warm up, Li Xin said a little heavily, "Guo Tianyu is already on the sidelines." ”
But soon Dong Lu noticed that the situation had changed, and he hurriedly said, "Huh." Dawn seemed to be communicating with the team doctor. ”
Sure enough, after the camera turned, Liming and the team doctor were talking about something, and after asking a few words, the team doctor helped him take off his jersey and began to tie bandages on his shoulders.
At this time, the fans on the sidelines also gave a round of applause to Dawn, who was tying bandages.
Soon the camera was on Osimhen's side, who was also escorted to the sidelines on a stretcher by Nigerian team doctors and stadium staff.
The team doctor kept communicating with Osmeen, the latter also had a resolute expression, obviously he didn't want to get off the field, after communicating with the team doctor, Osmeen slowly stood up with the support of the team doctor, and the team doctor kept spraying his right leg knee, so it seems that Osmeen also wants to hold on.
Osimhen's performance also ushered in thunderous applause from the fans.
After this episode, the game continued, but judging from the performance on the field, the difference between the two injured just now was very big, Dawn was still as brave as ever, and Osmeen ran a little less smoothly than before.
Li Xin still blew a wave for Osimhen: "The physical fitness of African players is good, in the slow-motion replay just now, Osimhen's knee was about to twist over, so it's okay to deal with it." ”
"It's still impactful. Dong Lu shook his head and said, "His running is obviously not as fierce as before." ”
This episode also slowed down the rhythm of the two sides a little, and the Nigerian players were obviously a little helpless in the face of the Chinese national junior team's non-stop passing, and they could only use their bodies to hit the Chinese national junior team players in the midfield.
Ag Chukudi was also warned by the referee for hooking Zeng Xingxing in the back once, and he quickly explained to the referee with a yellow card.
Li Xin said a little indignantly: "This foul should be yellow card under normal circumstances, this time the referee may have considered that there is a yellow card on his body, and raised his hand, if it is a stricter referee, he can directly play the card." ”
Ag Chukudi was even more silent after the foul, and Nwakari had to put more energy into the defense, so that as the core of the team's attacking organization, Nwakari had to run up and down the entire midfield.
Seeing Nwakari's performance, Dong Lu also had to praise: "This player is too strong, he can go up on offense, he can form a barrier in the midfield, and he can return to the penalty area to fill the central defender at a critical moment, a typical B2B midfielder, this young player has a promising future." ”
But putting too much of their energy into defense, the pressure on the Chinese national youth team in the midfield is really a lot less, especially Xiang Tiange and Yang Yilin on the right keep using their speed to impact their left back Ag Chukudi, so that Nwakari has to fill the latter many times, Nigeria's attack is a lot weaker.
With the two sides constantly entangled in the midfield, the time of the game kept passing, even if the referee wasted a lot of time because of injuries on both sides, gave 3 minutes of stoppage time, until the end of the first half, the score of both sides was maintained above 1:0.
At halftime, Li Xin and Dong Lu were analyzing the performance of the two sides in the first half, and the head coaches of both sides were also making tactical and personnel adjustments.
Almnik had a headache at this time, and Osimhen, who had lasted for half the game, expressed his support as soon as he returned to the lounge. Originally, he was going to replace Ag Chukudi, who had a yellow card and did not dare to devote himself too much to the defense, but now that Osimhen is gone, the first thing to consider is which striker to replace him.
In the end, Almnik replaced Osimhen with Samuel Chukuz, and Ag Chukudi had to stay on the pitch for a while to see if he could wait for a ball to be pulled back before making defensive adjustments.
On the contrary, the Chinese national youth team is in a lot of state, although Liming is a little injured, but there is no problem at all, and because the first half basically mastered the ball, the opponent ate two yellow cards well, and the physical consumption is also extremely large, especially Nwakari, no matter how strong his physical fitness is, his consumption is definitely the most among all players.
The second half, especially the last one or two minutes, was when the Chinese national junior team took over the game. 8)
