Kazakhstan originally belonged to the AFC, but after the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the country abandoned Asia and joined Europe, officially becoming the 52nd member of UEFA. Kazakhstan is currently ranked 117th in the world www.biquge.info which is much lower than China, but since joining UEFA, after more than ten years of development, Kazakhstan's football level has made great progress. The current head coach is Talgat.

In the next two days of training, the fat man did his best to fully show his level in front of Coach Gao and his teammates. The characteristics of the fat man are becoming more and more distinct, with excellent physical fitness, excellent headers, excellent free kicks, and a very comprehensive technique! The Gao guidance team is also becoming more and more aware of the characteristics of fat people. After two days of training, on June 7, the friendly match between the Chinese team and the Kazakhstan team officially began. The game time is 19:35 in the evening, at the Dalian Sports Center Stadium. CCTV CCTV5 conducted a live broadcast, and the commentators were Shao Shengyi and Zhang Enhua.

Before the game, the two teams announced their starting line-ups for the game. Chinese team: Goalkeeper: No. 23 Wang Dalei; Guards: No. 10 Ren Xing, No. 25 Feng Xiaoting, No. 3 Zhang Linpeng, No. 11 Li Xuepeng, No. 17 Zhao Minjian; Rear waist: No. 13 Wu Xi, No. 26 Hao Junmin; Avant-garde: No. 16 Rong Hao, No. 7 Wu Lei; Striker: No. 18 Yang Xu.

Kazakhstan: Goalkeeper: No. 12 David; Defenders: No. 2 Mali Serge, No. 6 Yerdos, No. 15 Masat, No. 17 Tanat; Midfielders: No. 7 Ulan, No. 8 Smakov, No. 18 Dmitry, No. 23 Yuri; Forwards: No. 11 Serikzan, No. 20 Sergey.

The fat man was very surprised when he knew the starting list of the Chinese team for this game. I don't understand why Director Gao wants to rotate such a large area. The fat man feels that with the current strength of the Chinese team, playing overall football is the best choice. Based on past experience, it takes at least two or three months for players to adapt to the new tactics of a new coach. The fat man feels that the Chinese team should establish a set of main lineups as soon as possible, and then make local adjustments. When the fat man played in Myburgh, Coach Karanka established the main lineup very early, especially the main lineup of the backline, and rarely changed. The adjustment of the main lineup in the front court is also not large, and it is generally only adjusted when the player suffers an injury or is suspended for red and yellow cards. The stability of the lineup is the basic guarantee for a team to exert its maximum combat effectiveness, and the fat man can't understand why Director Gao wants to carry out a large-scale personnel rotation.

What makes the fat man even more incomprehensible is that the rotation is just that, the rotation is not the main player, and this time the Dalian players started as many as 5 people. The fat man really doesn't understand why Director Gao wants to do this, this may be the last warm-up game before the top 12, you haven't determined the main lineup yet, and you are still rotating in a large area, even the world's strongest teams like Germany and Brazil don't dare to play like this. In the Dalian game, Dalian players will be replaced, this is really a warm-up game as an exhibition game! The fat man is powerless to complain!

At 19:35 p.m., the game started on time. CCTV commentator Shao Shengyi is introducing China's lineup for this game: "...... In this game, Gao Gui carried out a large-scale rotation of the starting lineup, in addition to Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng and Zhao Minjian, the three starting lineup players in the last game, the other eight players were rotated, and the five players from Dalian who started this game were Feng Xiaoting, Wang Dalei, Yang Xu, Li Xuepeng and Zhao Minjian...... Director Zhang, can you talk about why Director Gao arranged it this way? ”

"I think Director Gao must have his intentions in arranging this. The national football team returned to Dalian after 19 years, and more than 30,000 Dalian fans came to cheer for the national football team in this game. In addition, because there is still the Chinese Super League to play on the weekend, Coach Gao has carried out a large rotation to protect the players for the purpose of protecting the players. Zhang Enhua expressed his opinion.

"The three youngsters who performed well on the field did not make the starting line in this game, what do you think is the reason?" Shao Shengyi continued to ask questions.

"The performance of the three youngsters in the last game was really good, and they all scored their first goals in the national team, but after all, the three of them were selected for the national team for the first time, and the cooperation with other players was relatively rusty. Zhang Enhua replied.

"Coach Zhang, what do you think of the starting lineup of this Kazakhstan team?" Shao Shengyi continued to ask.

"I don't know much about the Kazakhstan team because after '02, they joined UEFA. However, their style of play is very similar to that of Uzbekistan, with a tough style of play and good technique. Coach Gao asked them as warm-up opponents to prepare for the round of 12 against Uzbekistan. Zhang Enhua talked eloquently.

"Hey, if I knew that Haozi wouldn't appear, I wouldn't come back." The fat man's father complained, "The restaurant is also very busy in the evening, and how many things will be delayed!" ”

"Then you pull me back!" The fat man's mother was also unhappy, "It's better to watch the recording!" ”

"It's too much of a delay to watch the recording!" The fat man's father retorted, "I watched the news, Haozi is on the list, and he will definitely appear later." ”

“……”

The reporters on the sidelines were very disappointed when they saw that Pang Hao did not start, and not only Pang Hao did not start, but the other two newcomers did not start, which made the reporters a little anxious. After two days of media hype, the three national team newcomers have become popular, and the Internet is full of posts talking about the three national team newcomers. After the great development of Chinese football in recent years, it is time to bring forth the new. Journalists also want to find new idols for the national team and set new benchmarks. If the three newcomers to the national team play well in this game, then this kind of idol shaping can gradually take shape.

At this time, the fat man was sitting on the bench, staring intently at the game on the field. In this game, Gao Gui also adjusted the formation type, playing 343 when attacking and 541 when defending, this change in formation puts forward high requirements for the ability of the players, especially the two fullbacks, who must constantly insert the attack, and the physical requirements are very high. This formation is generally a common formation used by weak teams against strong teams, but Chinese Super League teams rarely use this set of 5 back formations, and the vast majority of teams use 4 back formations, and fat men rarely play this formation when they are in Myburgh. The fat man quietly watched the changes in the positions of his teammates on the field, thinking about how he should run if he was on the field and how to adapt to this formation.

With less than five minutes to play, the national football team took advantage of the opponent's unstable footing to launch a wave of offensive and create a great scoring opportunity.

"No. 13 Wuxi's knock...... Oh! The ball hits high! Shao Shengyi's voice was full of regret, "Wu Xi's ball didn't kick the right part, and the kick was a little ......."

"This ball is played very beautifully!" Zhang Enhua took over, "Li Xuepeng inserted the ball on the left side to break through, and then sent the inverted triangle pass near the bottom line to the front of the penalty area, but Wu Xi's long-range shot was not adjusted well, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the crossbar!" ”

The fat man was on the bench, clapping his palms vigorously. Frankly speaking, the offensive line of the national football team this time is very clear, and Li Xuepeng, the fullback, inserted very suddenly, and his passing is also very threatening. However, Li Xuepeng ran from the back court to the front line and crossed, which was a great drain on his physical strength.

However, since then, Kazakhstan has strengthened the marking of players on the side of the national football team, and it is not so easy for Li Xuepeng and Zhao Minjian to insert forward. After the fat man found out about this wonderful shot, the national football team began to play a little chaotic, and the advantage at the beginning was not so obvious, and the situation on the field gradually became balanced. Although the Chinese team hit the opponent's 30-meter area a lot, it seems that they will not be able to kick the ball once they reach this area, and soon the ball will be transferred. No. 18 Yang Xu, who was at the front, did not play the role of the fulcrum of the center, and the frontcourt cooperation of the Chinese team was a little difficult to play. This tactic is really odd and correct, and it can be used occasionally, but if it is used for a long time, there are big loopholes.

Sure enough, Kazakhstan began to fight back with the national football team, especially the rear defense after Li Xuepeng plugged in. Kazakhstan's counterattack was very resolute and sharp. Soon, the goal of the national football team was greatly threatened!

"Kazakhstan's shooting ......" Shao Shengyi suddenly raised his voice, "Oh, hit high!" Ren Xing fell to the ground and interfered with the opponent's shot......"

"This time the Chinese team gave the opponent an easy pass in front of the penalty area." Zhang Enhua commented, "Although the goal was not scored, No. 11 Serikzan got a good chance to shoot, China should be careful!" ”

The fat man shook his head helplessly, sure enough, he was worried about something. After Li Xuepeng inserted the attack and was blocked, the side he guarded left a lot of space for the opponent, and Ren Xing often faced the attack of the opponent by himself, and the defensive pressure was very high.

Gao Gui's formation originally meant to strengthen the midfield, hoping to drive the forward attack and reduce the defensive pressure on the back line through the midfield, but the effect was average. The main reason is that these players rarely play this formation in the club, and there is some confusion in the running position, and there is often overlap in the positions of two people, and the numerical advantage in the midfield is not played. Once the midfield advantage cannot be played, there will be problems in the offense and defense of the national football team, Yang Xu looks like a single figure in front, and there are few high balls in the backfield, and Yang Xu has no chance to play at all. At the back, Ren Xing can face the impact of the opponent's two at any time, Alexander.

The most threatening player in the national football team is Wu Lei, his speed and dexterity are of great help to the attack of the national football team, but with the impact of Wu Lei alone, this kind of attack is destined to pose little threat.

In the 17th minute of the game, Li Xuepeng once again instigated an attack from the left side, and Wu Lei bypassed the defense in the middle to shoot, but was blocked by the opponent's defender.

"Wu Lei's shot...... Oh, blocked by the opposition defender! Shao Shengyi was a little regretful, "Although there was no goal, Wu Lei's characteristics came out." ”

Kazakhstan continued to play the national football team to fight back. In the 22nd minute, Kazakhstan drove a goal kick directly to the front, No. 17 Tanat headed the ferry, and No. 20 Sergei received the ball and shot at the goal, but fortunately, Wang Dalei concentrated and reached out to block the ball.

"Sergey's shot!" Shao Shengyi's nervous voice sounded, "Oh, Wang Dalei has made a meritorious service, and he flew to block the ball with his right hand!" It's dangerous......"

In the 31st minute, the small-angle burst shot in the No. 7 Ulan penalty area was bravely saved by Wang Dalei from the bottom line.

"No. 20 Sergei's bottom line knocks back, No. 7 Ulan's shot ......" Zhang Enhua was very nervous, "Wang Dalei has made meritorious contributions again, and he will make a brave save again to ensure that the goal is not lost!" ”

I have to say that except for the two more exciting attacks in the opening game, the national football team's offense at other times was lackluster. The lack of adaptation to the position makes it difficult for the players to play to their full strength, coupled with a large area of rotation, the players are unfamiliar with each other, and the offense and defense are very awkward. The fat man looked at Coach Gao quietly, his heart was full of doubts, and he didn't know why Coach Gao arranged such a starting lineup and arranged such a formation that players were not familiar with.

In the 44th minute of the game, Kazakhstan made a long pass to the side of the Chinese team's backline, and No. 7 Ulan quickly plugged in. In the process of chasing back the defense, the central defender Ren Xing tackled the opposing player Ulan from behind, and the referee gave Ren Xing a yellow card. However, Ulan's right foot was unevenly stressed as a support foot at the moment of landing, which eventually led to a 90-degree deformation and fracture of his right ankle and left the field injured. Ulan's injury is somewhat similar to the tragic injury suffered by former Arsenal striker Eduardo. The scene suddenly became tense, and the Kazakh players besieged Ren Xing, but were stopped by the linesman.

"Ren Xing's foul, this should be a tactical foul!" Shao Shengyi commented, "Ren Xing was a little out of position defensively, and after being passed by the opponent's No. 7 Ulan, he had to foul behind his back...... The Australian referee gave Ren Xing a yellow card! ”

"Oops! Broken! After No. 7 Ulan landed, it seemed that the supporting leg did not stand firmly, and he twisted it......" Zhang Enhua suddenly became worried, "The ankle is deformed, and the injury is more serious!" ”

"Ren Xing's foul is really not aimed at hurting people." Shao Shengyi looked at the slow motion and explained, "Maybe it's because the field is uneven, maybe the players are too tired, maybe because of the strength, 7 Ulan landed and sprained his ankle......"

The fat man kept an eye on the situation on the court and saw the foul process clearly. Although Ren Xing fouled behind his back, he really didn't mean to hurt anyone, but just stretched out his right leg enough to Ulan, causing Ulan's center of gravity in the air to be difficult to control, and finally sprained his ankle. An unintentional move, but it leads to a serious consequence. The fat man suddenly remembered the foul that Leeds United's No. 8 Murphy had committed to him before, which was a real violent foul, a really hurtful action. However, Ren Xing did this entirely because the side of the national football team was empty, and Ren Xing had to foul Li Xuepeng's position with all his might, so it can be said that Ren Xing took the black pot for Li Xuepeng.

At the end of the first half, the two teams were tied 0-0. The two commentators began to comment on the performance of both teams in the first half.

"In the first half, the Chinese team played well and created a few good chances. Yang Xu singled the arrow, giving both sides to Li Xuepeng and Zhao Minjian, who were inserted, and the two also sent several threatening passes. But when defending, the Chinese team's back line looked relatively empty, giving the opponent a good chance to counterattack. Shao Shengyi expressed his opinion.

"Kazakhstan started off passively, but then they started to play on the wings, mainly to play the gaps left by the two Chinese full-backs who stepped forward to assist, and it worked very well, creating a couple of dangerous shots. In the second half, the Chinese team had to retreat quickly when defending, and the midfielders had to fill the gap left by the two full-backs when they were defending. Zhang Enhua expressed his opinion.

The fat man sat on the bench and watched the entire first half, feeling that Gao Gui's tactics were very strange, and the characteristics were not played at all. When attacking, although the main two wings are inserted, the points of outflanking in the middle are a little less, resulting in a lot of attacks on the opponent's front 30 area, but there are few shooting opportunities created; The problem is more big when defending, there is no counter-robbery on the spot after conceding the ball, resulting in the opponent can play a quick counterattack, and after the two full-backs stepped forward to assist, no one filled the gap they left in time, so that the opponent's counterattack was very sharp. In general, the Chinese team has the advantage of possession, Kazakhstan plays more efficiently, and Gao Gui's tactics are very strange. (To be continued.) )
