The first leg of Group A of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil between China and Australia was held at the Xi'an Suzaku Sports Center, and there was still half a day before the game, and the periphery of the Suzaku Sports Center was already surrounded by a large number of Chinese fans wearing red jerseys. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They all came from all over the country for the national team, and there were even foreign fans in yellow jerseys to support the Chinese team.

Of course, this is not an Australian fan, but a Dortmund fan, who has come to China for tourism, and Tang Zheng's national team match is naturally not to be missed.

With two hours to go until the game, the center of gravity of Suzaku Sports, which can accommodate 50,000 fans, is already full.

From afar, it was a sea of red.

In the sporadic setting, there is only a small yellow area belonging to the visiting Australian fans.

The enthusiasm of the Xi'an fans was already vividly reflected before the start of the game, so that the Australian team, which is accustomed to seeing big scenes, felt a little frightened.

Because they know that this game won't be that simple!

The new Chinese team is based on Guangzhou Evergrande players, goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng and Wu Xi, double back is Zhao Xuri's partner Zheng Zhi, three forwards Yu Chao, Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, Gao Lin is at the front of the front.

The visiting Australia team is based on foreign players, goalkeeper Schwarzer, defenders Neil, Buski, North, midfielders Bresjano, Colwill, Guerrera, Carney and Valery, Cahill at the front.

The players from both sides walked to the court from the players' tunnel, and Yang 5 commentator He Wei said: "Australia is currently ranked 24th in the world, second in Asia, and the Chinese team is ranked 76th in the world and sixth in Asia, but football games have never been based on world rankings, but fans don't worry, we also have some advantages......"

"That's right, although Australia is strong, but in the 2010 South Africa World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team drew 0:0 with Australia in Kunming, Shao Jia also missed a penalty, and in the last round of the group with Sun Xiang's world wave away goal defeated Australia. ”

Commentator Xu Yang added.

"So mentally we will have an advantage. He Wei said.

In fact, they just say this to let the fans in front of the TV have a bottom in their hearts.

Those two world preliminaries did not have much reference value, the draw against Australia was too obvious home advantage, Australia, which is accustomed to fighting on the plains, is not very suitable for the climate of the Kunming Plateau, and did not play at its own level.

As for the final round of the group, it is because Australia has already qualified early, and there is no need to fight for the last game.

"Beep~"

With the blowing of the Asian golden whistle Ilmatov, the match between the Chinese team and Australia in the first round of Group A of the 2014 World Cup Asian Preliminary Round in Brazil was officially announced.

First off was the visiting Australia, with Cahill kicking the ball to Colwill before running towards the Chinese defensive half.

No different from other games, Colwill, who got the football, kicked directly to the right side of the attack, hoping that Carney, who played on the right side of the midfield, could grab the football landing.

Carney grabbed the point, but he didn't find his teammates in the back, and was obtained by Zhao Xuri, and the Chinese team switched from defense to offense.

Through continuous passing, the football came to the feet of Zheng Zhi, and he wanted to hand over the football to Tang Zheng according to the tactical requirements of head coach Camacho, but Australian defender Valéry followed Tang Zheng closely and did not leave an inch.

Despite this, Tang Zheng hooked his finger towards Zheng Zhi and motioned for him to pass the ball.

Zheng Zhi hesitated for a moment and passed the football to Tang Zheng.

Twenty-eight-year-old Valéry instantly became nervous and put on Tang Zheng.

But Tang Zheng didn't mean to take the ball and turn around to organize the attack, he did it back to Zheng Zhi, and made a gesture, signaling him to pass to Hao Junmin on the right side.

Tang Zheng, who finished passing the football, shook his head helplessly, he knew that today's game would be very difficult.

Why?

Just now he signaled Zheng Zhi to pass the ball to him, all to test how strong Australia's defensive firepower is.

In addition to Valéry, there is also a very experienced defensive midfielder Guerrera.

The most important thing is that Australia are in a very good defensive position after switching from attack to defense, and they maintain a good distance from each other.

It seems that this Australian national team not only has physical skills, but also has a lot of tactical literacy.

※※※

Australia's away game is a rare four-five formation, and it is not difficult to see that this is Poscot's jealousy of Tang Zheng's scoring and organizational ability in the midfield.

In general, it is Australia that has the advantage.

The Chinese team is only two points stronger than Australia, Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, so the situation will inevitably favor Australia, which has a stronger entity.

However, the Chinese team has the advantage of being at home, and Australian head coach Boscott has been careful to choose a relatively safe and stable counterattack.

This game is not only the first round of the top 10 in Asia, but also an away game, and it is also an understandable choice.

The Australian national TV commentator didn't have much criticism of this, and the existence of Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin made him jealous.

Because Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin definitely have the ability to change the score in Asian-level games, and the Australian golden generation has grown old, the new generation of players has not yet grown, and most of the starters are now playing with experience.

Australia played cautiously, and it was difficult for the Chinese team to organize an effective attack when Tang Zheng was restricted, so the game was still 0:0 when it was half an hour into the game

The score has not been rewritten, but it does not mean that the game is not exciting, Tang Zheng suddenly sent a through pass after getting rid of Valéry in the nineteenth minute, Gao Lin ran very well, but the ball was not stopped, which caused the shot to lose its angle.

If the ball is received by Lewandowski or Barrios, 90 per cent will be able to stop in the best position and shoot with his feet.

The difference between the striker and the difference between the striker is not only to look at the goalkeeper, but also to see the connection between his stopping the ball and shooting.

When playing, the striker is faced with all kinds of passes from his teammates, and he must make the most suitable way to stop the ball in the shortest possible time to facilitate the shot.

No matter which point, Gao Lin doesn't have it.

Of course, when you're in good shape, it's not necessarily.

Closer to home, Australia's opted tactical play limited their attack.

Tang Zheng is a big threat on the offensive end, and he can also bring a huge threat to Australia's attack on the defensive end.

They have to bypass Tang Zheng's coverage area in positional attack, and it is difficult to create a threat unless the set-piece attack is very good.

It's not that the overall defense of the Chinese team's set-pieces is excellent, it can only be said that Tang Zheng's judgment of the landing point of football is too sensitive, and Australia's proud set-piece attack does not get any benefit in front of the Chinese team.

Cahill, known as the Premier League header king, could not take advantage of Tang Zheng at all, and even if he barely won the header, he could not pose a threat to the goal guarded by Zeng Cheng.

At the end of the first half, the score did not change.

In the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, Liu Jianhong, the central 5 commentator of the Beijing studio, reviewed the end of the first half: "In the first half, there were attacks and defenses against each other, but in the first game related to the qualifying situation, both sides chose a relatively stable offensive method, which also caused both sides to not perform very well on the offensive end, Tang Zheng, who played the front midfield, was very close to the inside, and the away team's double back Valéry and Guerrera did not leak a drop of his defense, and often let the ball pass without letting people ......"

The Australian national TV commentator said about the end of the first half: "The conservative tactics of head coach Boscott directly led to the inability to carry out smoothly on the offensive end, Colwill and Bresciano are too old, and the center of gravity is too defensive will not be conducive to their participation in the attack, it is not unreasonable to have only three shots on goal in the entire first half, I hope to pay more attention to the attack in the second half, it is undeniable that Don's personal ability is strong, but his teammates are not Dortmund's European international stars......"

In the second half, the Chinese team kicked off, and the atmosphere of the game at the Suzaku Sports Center was still frenzied, and the Chinese fans in the stands spared no effort to shout and cheer.

But if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to hear that the shouts of the major fan organizations seem to be disorderly, which does not feel good.

The sound of refueling is not at the same point, and the direct result is that the refueling sound is more like noise.

It is difficult for the visitors to calm down and organise their attacks in this situation, and the same is true for the Chinese team playing at home.

The game was still going on in an orderly manner, and while Jian Gen, president of the Shenzhen Fan Association in the stands, directed the fan club to spare no effort to burst into cheers, an idea suddenly sprouted in his mind - to establish a national fan club.

In the past, the fan clubs that cheered for the Chinese team were based on the provincial club fan clubs, and they were not unified.

Now the ball market is getting hotter and hotter, and more fans than in the past have come to watch the national team games.

Thinking that all football powers in the world have unified national fan organizations, but the Chinese team does not have a unified fan organization, this is undoubtedly a quick injury.

If there is a unified fan organization cheering and cheering for this game, the excitement of the Chinese players will be even higher, which will have a profound impact on the course of the game.

Thinking of this, Jian Gen thought that after the game, he must talk to the presidents of the major fan organizations about the formation of a unified fan organization.

The game continued, and the Chinese team with Guangzhou Evergrande as the team showed a lot of fatigue on the offensive end.

Six days ago, Guangzhou Evergrande played a fierce AFC Champions League 1/8 final at the Tianhe Sports Center, with severe physical exertion, and now it is playing the World Cup qualifiers in Xi'an, and its physical fitness has been greatly affected.

Head coach Camacho was pacing back and forth on the sidelines with a frown, wondering if he should make a substitution, but turned his head and looked around the bench and saw that there were no good substitutions.

With most of the Chinese players' fitness declining and Australia's offensive slowly picking up, Tang Zheng had to recover a little deeper to compensate for Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri's declining motivation to run.

Immediately, the Chinese team made substitutions, Yu Hai replaced Zhao Xuri, who had cramps, Tang Zheng retreated, his partner Zheng Zhi played double back, and Hao Junmin received the middle.

This substitution idea is obvious, the team is recycled as a whole, so as to avoid being eaten by the opponent instead of Australia at home.
