"Nie Jiang's shot, oops, the opponent's goalkeeper saved, it was a corner kick!" Su Dong was very sorry, "This shot is very decisive, the power and angle are very good, it's a pity." ”

Huang Jianxiang seemed even more excited: "A series of getting rid of the goal before the goal is really beautiful, receiving the ball in the left corner of the penalty area, pulling the ball ...... on the bottom of the foot", at this time, he was replaying the camera, and he was also doing a detailed technical breakdown, "Then after the feint half-turn, it suddenly changed to a horizontal half-step ball, and then it was a real half-turn shot, these actions were done in one go, and the very standard shooting operation of the center in front of the penalty area." ”

This shows that Nie Jiang has made great progress in terms of ball quotient, ball skills and body now. Su Dong's analysis is more detailed, "He must have found a shooting route before shooting, there are a lot of people in the penalty area, and if you don't make a good prediction in advance, you can't directly threaten the goal, and a series of actions behind you not only require technology, but also need to be physically carryable." ”

Nie Jiang didn't have time to regret the shot just now, he had already stood in the center of the penalty area in accordance with the corner kick tactics ordered by the head coach in recent years.

Since taking over the Chinese team, Lippi has worked set-pieces.

The former Chinese team was also a well-known head team in Asia, and for this reason, the domestic football media at that time also vigorously sprayed the Chinese team as the Chinese head team.

At that time, the Chinese team not only had Fan Zhiyi, Li Bing, Su Maozhen, Xie Hui, Zhang Yuning (big) and other super slippery masters who played headers in the center, but also Fan Zhiyi, Zhang Enhua, Li Weifeng, Dewey and other air tyrant central defenders on the back line, not to mention a bunch of fast horse passes on the side who were responsible for transporting cannonballs, such as Yao Xia, Li Ming, Wu Chengying, Sun Xuhai and other famous people.

After these players retire one after another, even the header, which can compete with Asian powerhouses and crush Southeast Asia, is gone.

Of course, this has strong teams in Asia, such as Japan, which are generally more physical and better confrontational, and Southeast Asian teams with more professional players, and physical fitness and better positioning.

In later generations, in the game of the national football team, all aspects of the header were lagging behind.

Fans can often see that in the game, the Chinese team has faced various failures such as flying high balls, misjudgment of the landing point, and being squeezed away in physical confrontation, the most famous case is the 2019 Asian Cup group stage against the South Korean team, the opponent South Korean team has a success rate of 74%, and the Chinese team is only a pitiful 26%, which means that most of the headers were grabbed by the South Korean team.

When it comes to the more important header scoring data, the performance is even worse, the wide player flies directly out of the bottom line with a cross, the header of the attacker in the penalty area is frequently off by a fraction, and even the "must be offside" corner kick tactics are produced one after another, which is jaw-dropping.

The Chinese team has also changed from "knowing the header and the skill at the foot is too poor" in the media and fans to "how deceitful is the national football team?

However, there is also a period of time, that is, the period when Lippi was in charge for the first time.

During this time, his Chinese team has scored a total of 33 goals, 8 with headers, and 3 from corners, including a classic moment when Yu Dabao scored with a corner header in the 1-0 home win over South Korea.

Some fans once shouted: "My big China team is back." ”

The reason for such an improvement is the arrival of Lippi.

How to evaluate Lippi's coaching ability is actually a very controversial issue.

On the current timeline, because of the appearance of the man with the plug-in - Zhang Sheng, Lippi's national team has better results than in history, but back to real history, especially after Lippi resigned angrily after the second entry of the Chinese national team, there are not many doubts about Lippi's coaching ability.

There are a lot of controversies on the high-end user App with a per capita income of one million on the "People in Mongolia, just got off the aircraft carrier", and there are more people who hold this statement on the relatively professional high-speed rail Taihuang App, and the loudest voice is still 5% of this App, which has the most controversy.

Of course, a certain football big V who firmly believes in 45 degrees is a pioneer.

For example, Lippi's top honors - the Champions League, the World Cup, and the European Cup - were all ten years ago, and he has been away from the mainstream European football circle for a long time, and it is not easy to accept new technical and tactical knowledge when he is too old, unable to adapt to new professional equipment such as high-tech, and does not know how to analyze the most popular football big data and so on.

Anyway, it's right to criticize him for being tactically backward.

If someone refutes, "Then why did he come to China and not go back to Europe to teach, he came to China because money is easy to cheat." The argument was immediately released.

In fact, in Zhang Sheng's view, no matter how he faces Lippi in the league to remain undefeated, at least at the level of coaching the national team, he is far inferior. Not to mention anything else, the prestige brought by Lippi's own name, as well as his rich experience in leading the national team to fight tough battles, is not comparable to his own novice level coach of the national team.

In other words, with Lippi there, it is definitely possible to guarantee the lower limit of a team.

The actual situation now is: because of the appearance of Zhang Sheng, the Chinese national team has a lot more good players. For the national team to play a game like the World Preliminary Tournament, it is far better to make full use of the abilities of these players and keep their form above the level than to rush hard.

This is also the fundamental reason why the national team temporarily changed coach halfway, and Zhang Sheng himself was not in a hurry to take over.

Hao Junmin, who was responsible for taking this corner kick, stretched out his hand and lit up his index finger and middle finger, which was a tactical code agreed upon in pre-match training, which means that the front point runs to interfere, and the landing point hangs directly in the middle.

Waiting for Hao Junmin's ball to come out, Nie Jiang suddenly ran from the middle to the front point.

The Uzbek central defenders, who had already made a focused analysis of Nie Jiang before the game, were brought to the front point at once, and the crowded middle road had a certain amount of space, and Li Yun had room to play, he jumped high and stood on the landing point first.

only heard a "bang", and Li Yun, who used his strong waist and abdomen ability to stay in the air, slammed his header on the lintel. Uzbekistan's goalkeeper Nesterov did not touch the football.

"Oops, doorposts. Huang Jianxiang's voice was a little out of shape, he also noticed it, and quickly adjusted his tone, "It's a pity, it's a pity." Li Yun's header power angle is excellent. ”

'It was a beautiful header, it didn't go in, but the momentum we had at home was already playing. As soon as Nie Jiang completed a threatening shot, Li Yun almost opened the scoring for the Chinese team, and everyone was clearly in the state of the game. ”

The two commentators were cheering up the players, but Li Yun was a little unwilling to this header, he kept running back to fill his central defender position, and at the same time pulled the corner of his shirt to show the referee, signaling that when he hit the goal with a header, the opponent pulled himself, causing his header not to score.

The referee seemed very gentle, ignored Li Yun's complaint, just looked at Li Yun, smiled and shook his head, of course, this referee is not Indian.

Of course, Li Yun knew that he had such a complaint, and the opponent's small actions would not let the referee give him a penalty, but he was very experienced, taking advantage of his advantage of being the captain and the party, taking the initiative to communicate with the referee, and putting a little pressure on the referee, so that the referee formed a psychological impression that the players of the Uzbekistan team had small actions.

As long as there are more calm and polite complaints, when the Uzbek players have hidden small actions and fouls, the referee may really punish the other party, the light is a warning, the heavy is to directly take out the card, once it appears in a key position, especially in the penalty area, it is time for the Chinese team to make a profit.

After all, referees are also human beings and are also affected by emotions.

After winning a goalpost, the intensity of the Chinese team's attack did not weaken in any way, and the attacking frontcourt combination launched waves of attacks.

In the fifth minute, Li Xuepeng was reckless, and after receiving a very imaginative back-heel plug from Ding Huaiyi, he used his speed to rush desperately.

Left-back has been a sore spot for this Chinese team.

In real history, this location has been the most criticized. Whether it is Zheng Zhen, Jiang Zhipeng, or others, either the offense is not good, or the defense is not good, even in this time and space, with Zhang Sheng, there is not much improvement so far, like Zhou Zhouchun's defense, Wei Zhimin and Xiao Yunfan's defense has big loopholes, Shen Jun is still growing, and his own ceiling is only 88.

The only one who is starting to emerge is Peng Langjun, the problem is that he is still too young and inexperienced to grow up.

Although Li Xuepeng is also known as "Brother Raise Your Hand", there is also "MLGB's, it's too *** fast, me." "Such a good job, but among the existing players in China, a player like him who has excellent physical fitness and can go up and down can be regarded as a short general.

Especially in the case that the Chinese team now occupies the advantage on the field, Li Xuepeng's reckless impact is still really good, and he is worthy of being known as the best player in the Guangzhou Evergrande team in terms of physical fitness.

This time, he and Uzbekistan's right-back Tukhtahujaev had an obvious competitive advantage, which was originally started at the same time, and at the same time squeezed the opponent to fight, Li Xuepeng pushed the opponent at once, and then threw off the opponent a position.

The players of the Chinese team, the pass under the interference is not good, after throwing off the opponent, there is still a certain accuracy in passing the ball, and this time Li Xuepeng's pass directly found the back point of the penalty area.

The Uzbek defenders, who paid more attention to Nie Jiang and Qin Minghao, did not expect that Li Xuepeng's passing target was Wu Lei, who was not so dazzling at the back point, and they almost paid the price of contempt.

Wu Lei hit the ball with a kick, the ball almost grazed the near post and missed, and the Chinese team almost scored again.

There was a loud cheer from all the fans in the stands, followed by a clear sigh, but the latter was short-lived, and thunderous applause erupted under the leadership of the fan leader.

In today's stands, all the fans are uniformly dressed, and the organizing committee put a jersey on each seat before the game, which is a red national football shirt with the words "Jiangcheng Hu, the whole country responds".

Neat attire, neat cheers, neat applause. The Chinese team's three threatening shots in the opening game suddenly activated the atmosphere of the scene without warm-up.

"How I hope Wu Lei can keep the shooting feeling in the AFC Champions League nine days ago to this game. Huang Jianxiang sighed, "Nine days ago, Wu Lei scored two goals in the club's Shanghai SIPG AFC Champions League against Guangzhou Evergrande, scoring two very beautiful goals. ”

'Hopefully his next shot will recall the feeling of those two goals. The Chinese team now has an obvious advantage on the field, and Su Dong is also in a very relaxed mood and echoed with a smile.

As the game progressed, looking at the advantages of the Chinese team, the two commentators picked up the topic at the beginning of the game.

'At the beginning, I said that there were pros and cons to a midfield of three technical players, but now it seems that Lippi is well prepared and he makes the most of all three of them. He used his offense to suppress his opponent. Huang Jianxiang said, "In terms of shortcomings, it is not difficult to see from these few minutes of the game that Coach Lippi used the style of pressing in the front court and pressing in the high position, not letting the three midfielders passively defend the opponent, but actively interfering with the opponent's dribbling and passing, and trying to contain the opponent's counterattack in the embryonic stage." ”

"It's a smart thing to do. Su Dong has been commenting on European games for a long time and began to draw inferences, "For example, like Barcelona before, they have more technical players on the field, and there are few players who rely purely on physical fitness, so they put a lot of effort into high defense and build their own defensive system in this way." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Huang Jianxiang was also afraid of hatred, so he helped explain, "It's not that our players' skills are the same as Barcelona, but that Coach Lippi has applied the most suitable tactics to the most suitable player configuration." ”

In fact, Lippi's defensive work is more than that of the two commentators.

In order to prevent the opponent's counterattack, Lippi also deliberately told Li Yun to put him as far forward as possible, ready to help Xu Mingyu assist in defense, and resolutely stifle the opponent's attack in the midfield.

For example, in the ninth minute, the Chinese team's attack in the front field failed to complete the last tactical step, so that the Uzbek side was broken, Akhmedov got the ball, and a decisive pass was handed to the left back Denisov, who formed an offensive posture on the left side.

Because Wu Lei was still in an offensive state at this time and failed to return to defense, Xu Mingyu hurriedly came to the right side as a back to fill the position.

Denisov is one of the key figures in the Uzbekistan team's attacking tactical system, just turning 30, he is at the peak of his physical, technical and experience, whether it is for the national team or for the club Russian Premier League giants Lokomotiv Moscow, he plays the whole game, and his left-footed pass into the attacking third is extremely efficient.

For this reason, Lippi's instructions to the players were not to give him the opportunity to face our defenders alone, and not to let him pass the ball easily.

After all, Uzbekistan's average of 10 dribbles per game is at the top of the top 12 teams, and the left side of the front field is more than a third, and Denisov's ability can be seen.

Jammed Denisov. The Uzbek offensive cost half the time.
