After winning the match against Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team was heavily touted by the domestic media. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Over the years, the Chinese team has been weak in the big game, and in the face of several strong teams in Asia, the friendly match can still play a little spirit, and when it comes to such a regular game, it is a mess, and now Chinese fans finally see a good goal that wins the game and wins the game.
Qin Minghao, who controlled the rhythm of the midfield in the game, and Xu Mingyu, who were known as China's 50-year-old geniuses, were praised almost wildly, while Xu Mingyu, who sent Qin Minghao a second pass, was known as China's No. 1 B2B midfielder at a younger age.
Li Yun, who commanded the backline, was known as China's Cannavaro, and Wu Lei was also expected by everyone to succeed in staying abroad.
As for the head coach Perran, he is considered to be an excellent coach, who has successfully integrated modern European football tactics with Chinese players, and the Chinese team will definitely improve by leaps and bounds under his leadership in the future.
In the second game, the Chinese team performed even better.
In this match, the Chinese team faced Uzbekistan, which is much stronger than the already fallen Saudi Arabia. Judging from the historical record, the two sides have played each other 3 times in the Asian Cup finals, and the Chinese team has 1 draw and 2 losses, far behind.
Before the game, when asked by reporters about his historical record, Perrin was full of confidence: "We have a group of good players, although the opponents are also very strong, but I think this game will win the group." ”
Because Uzbekistan also won the group stage before, and Saudi Arabia defeated North Korea by a big score in the second round that ended a little earlier, so as long as the Chinese team wins this game, then it will definitely win the group.
And in the game, the Chinese team did play beautifully.
After the start of the game, the Chinese team, which continued the starting lineup of the previous game, played very actively, and Ding Huaiyi, who played on the right side, showed a foot skill far superior to that of Asian players.
His breakthrough and passing made the Uzbek players unguardable, only 20 minutes in the first half, the opponent has already received two yellow cards on Ding Huaiyi, Liu Jianhong, who left in the second half of 2014, commented on the game on behalf of LeTV, and his performance on Ding Huaiyi is simply a tribute: "This kind of performance, the name of Chinese Xiao Luo is really worthy of the name, and I don't think he should add a Chinese or something to him, he is Ding Huaiyi, not a copy of any player." ”
It's a pity that in the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, the Uzbek midfielder hit Mei Fang's body with a shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball crossed a strange arc from the dead corner of the goal into the net after rebounding.
Liu Jianhong also looked very embarrassed: "This goal, the shot did not pose any threat, basically there was no chance of scoring, I didn't expect such good luck to score." I hope that the young Chinese players on the field will not be impatient, it is we who have the advantage now, do not disrupt the tactics because of an unexpected goal, it is still early, we have opportunities. ”
What can be seen more clearly is the current captain Zheng Zhi on the field, after he kicked off again, he was not too eager to attack, but strengthened the connection with Xu Mingyu and Qin Minghao, so that they could control the ball more in the midfield and not shoot wastefully.
The players who were a little impatient were calm under the calm command of the big brother, patiently looking for opportunities on the field, and such efforts were not in vain.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Ding Huaiyi once again used his foot skills to inflict heavy blows on the opponent, he shook the three defenders on the right side in a row, and passed the ball under the crotch of the fourth defender with a juggling passing action, and Xu Mingyu, who was inserted from behind, received the ball and wiped it into the penalty area, and faced the attacking goalkeeper with a beautiful pick, and the score was 1:1.
This goal is so beautiful, Liu Jianhong almost shouted in his throat: "In, in, in! in, incomparably passing, ghostly passing, weight-lifting picking, such a goal has not been played by the Chinese team for many years, this is the cooperation between two young talented players, the pass from Ding Huaiyi, Xu Mingyu's goal." This goal will be remembered forever in the history of the Asian Cup. ”
The morale of the Chinese team who equalized was greatly boosted, and the players were encouraged by this goal to speed up the game, Qin Minghao, Xu Mingyu and Ding Huaiyi, three players who could hold the ball in the midfield and pass the ball, completely let the Chinese team completely control the situation on the field.
In the 40th minute of the first half, the Chinese team, which had been attacking for nearly ten minutes, scored again, this time it was Ding Huaiyi who assisted him, he used a left-footed arc to pocket the ball to the left side of the penalty area after dribbling horizontally on the right side, and Wu Lei, who was inserted into the penalty area, shot angrily at the ball, and overtook the score to 2:1.
The Uzbek players had no idea how he had been moving on the right side saw Wu Lei who had been pulling out of the penalty area and diagonally inserting into the penalty area, the Uzbek defense was all on his side, the pass was very sudden, and by the time they saw Wu Lei start quickly into the penalty area, it was too late.
The Chinese team entered the second half with the lead score very easily, and now not only Ding Huaiyi showed his skills on the right side, but Gao Lin, who played left winger in this game, also showed a few hands, and his two consecutive smashes made people see the figure full of aura before.
Liu Jianhong saw this scene on the field and said with a smile: "Gao Lin's two smashes are very beautiful, could it be that Ding Huaiyi's performance stimulated him?"
Zhang Sheng, who has been paying attention to the Asian Cup match of the national team, also has to agree with Liu Jianhong's point of view that playing with high-level players can increase the ability.
Ding Huaiyi is such an example.
Since he poached Pato from Brazil, Pato, who has always looked down on Ding Huaiyi, has given Ding Huaiyi a lot of help, Zhang Sheng often sees Pato chatting with Ding Huaiyi who wants to learn Portuguese, and while teaching Ding Huaiyi to learn Portuguese, he also taught him a lot of very practical knowledge and techniques.
The previous Ding Huaiyi has always been a very big weakness in physical confrontation, but he can't play his skills with empty body, Pato can be said to have taught him a lot of small skills, and it can be seen from this game that even in an intercontinental cup like the Asian Cup, Ding Huaiyi is not very empty in confrontation.
It is conceivable that Gao Lin, who plays in Guangzhou Evergrande, has not learned anything from those high-level foreign aids, Zhang Sheng has always believed that with Gao Lin's talent, if he does not take a detour, there is no difficulty in gaining a foothold in the second division of Europe.
Although Ding Huaiyi also missed the best time to learn football, it was very unfortunate, but at the same time he was also very lucky, because he met Zhang Sheng, with the help of the system, Ding Huaiyi is now at ease in the Asian level of the game, how to play after going to Europe, it depends on his hard work and luck, but if he wants to improve, going to Europe is the most correct.
By the time of more than 70 minutes of the game, the Chinese team after the lead began to make substitution adjustments, the first to be replaced was Gao Lin on the left side, now the Chinese team is mainly playing counterattacks, and the side needs a faster, more physical, and more active player, Gao Lin has played dozens of games with Guangzhou Evergrande this season, and the physical condition is not too good, it is time to replace the new force.
In Zhang Sheng's opinion, this is not so strong a wing player with a big heart, he is always so energetic on the field, never give up any opportunity, and the most important thing is that he has "guts" on the court, dare to take the ball, dare to break through, but he is never the kind of unique player.
When the Chinese team lost humiliatingly to the Thai U23 national team before, he was one of the few players on the field who focused on the game and did not give up when he fell behind.
And Sun Ke did not waste the opportunity to come on as a substitute after coming on the field, as soon as he came on the field for two minutes, he received a beautiful pass from Qin Minghao, and shot after connecting the opponent's two defenders, expanding the score to 3:1.
Sunko's shot was beautiful, and the obvious curling ball went around the palm of the opposing goalkeeper and turned into the corner.
Zhang Sheng couldn't help but applaud Sun Ke's goal, which showed his characteristics of being willing to run, be able to run, dare to break through, and dare to shoot.
With a score of 3:1 and an impatient opponent, there is basically no suspense in this game, and Perrin also began to continue to make substitutions, allowing the main players to rest and prepare for the next game.
In the end, the game also ended with a score of 3:1, and the Chinese team easily won the first place in Group B, which is also the best group result of the Chinese team in the previous Asian Cup.
In the final group game, the Chinese team, which has already qualified first in the group, has a lot of substitute players, Ding Huaiyi sat on the bench in this game, Sun Ke, who scored in the last game, started on the right side, and Yu Bo on the left side.
Even so, the North Korean team, which had a sluggish performance in this Asian Cup, was completely suppressed by the Chinese team, and the Chinese team was made 2:0 by Xu Mingyu and Sun Ke in the first half.
In the second half, Qin Minghao was replaced after scoring a goal, but the score of 3:0 basically lost the suspense of the game, Xu Mingyu, who took over Qin Minghao's midfield command, did not weaken the offensive momentum of the Chinese team, and before the end of the game, he assisted Gao Lin, who came on as a substitute, scored a header, and the score of 4:0 also made the fans too happy.
Perrin was very satisfied after the game, even when asked what he thought of the next game against hosts, Australia, he looked confident: "I know the next game is going to be very difficult, but we are confident of winning. ”
But Zhang Sheng, who knows the results in history, does not feel easy, the current Chinese team does have a few more players who far exceed the national team in history because of the appearance of the Longteng team, but the strength of the opponent Australia is not weaker than the Chinese team, and it can even be said to be better.
Although this Australian team is far less star-studded than the peak squad with Colwill, Viduka, Bresciano and Cahill at that time, Cahill alone is full of impact and super experience, and any player in the Chinese team is now a long-range shot;
At the same time, Jedinak, who is the captain of the Premier League team Crystal Palace, is also a very powerful player, plus Matthew Ryan, who is known as the first goalkeeper of the Belgian First Division, such a central axis can be regarded as the top central axis in Asia.
Not to mention that there are many players in the current Australian team who play in the Bundesliga, Premier League, and English League, and their overall strength is above the Chinese team.
On the other hand, the lineup of the Chinese team, Qin Minghao plays in the Austrian League of the third division of Europe, Li Yun is in the German Second Division, Xu Mingyu is in the Portuguese First Division, Ding Huaiyi has not yet been tested by the European League, and the other Chinese team players are also playing in China, and it is really not strong to wrestle with the opponent.
It was clear from Perran's starting lineup in the game that he was not as confident as he was apparently at the time of the interview.
In this game, Perrin played a 4-5-1 lineup, he arranged Cai Huikang to start to replace Sun Ke, sacrificed the play of three backs, and arranged Xu Mingyu to the side back, just to strengthen the defense of the midfield, which is to abandon the attack and want to stabilize the position first.
Zhang Sheng had to complain in his heart about Peilan's tactical arrangement: "In the face of this powerful opponent, I don't think about how to attack, but just think about relying on defense to not lose, it's too conservative." Xu Mingyu can indeed play on the wing, but he is not an authentic wing player after all, and too narrow a wing is not suitable for his technical characteristics. On the contrary, Cai Huikang's rough foot skills are completely unable to integrate into the tactics of ground attack, and it will also drag down the overall offensive rhythm, besides, Cai Huikang's body can resist the impact of the Australians?"
In history, it was also Perran, who was too conservative in the arrangement, so that the Chinese team was comprehensively suppressed in this game, and he couldn't even fight back, and now he still chooses conservative tactics, and there will be no good results.
This game will depend on whether the backline led by Li Yun can withstand the opponent's continuous offensive pressure.
