Chapter 164: The first time he conceded the ball

Robben slipped in front of Zhuo Yang like a sleigh, and he was kneeling in the performance. This was Robben's first goal in this World Cup and the first time that China conceded the first goal in South Africa. In the previous three group games, the Chinese team was the first to break the deadlock.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Robben, who looked much older than his actual age, broke through the door of the Chinese team with his most iconic in-cut shot, and before that, the Chinese team had a clear advantage on the field.

As soon as the whistle blew, everyone on the scene and in front of the TV was in a trance that the two teams seemed to be wearing the wrong jerseys, and the white side was aggressive and launched a mercury-like attack to be the Netherlands, while the orange cowering retreat in the half was more like a weak team.

Rijkaard is not a frivolous man, nor is he an aggressive coach who would rather die than attack. The Chinese team is not a capable football team, except for Zhuo Yang, the other players are not very strong even in Asia. Since taking office in China more than a year ago, after a comprehensive inspection of domestic players, Jie Shuai did not follow the traditional idea of letting the team play defensive counterattacks, but created a simplified version of the all-offensive and all-defensive tactics tailored for the Chinese team in a unique way.

Compared with all-offense and all-defense, defensive counter-attacking tactics are easier to organize and implement, and they also have lower requirements for players' individual abilities, but they have high requirements for the player's understanding of the defensive system. As for the reality of Chinese players, taking Li Weifeng, the best among the central defenders, as an example, he is not first-class in Asia, and it may be difficult to play in Serie B and West B.

Of course, even so, it is not impossible to play defense and counterattack, but Zhuo Yang will be subject to the tactical formation and will not be able to exert his full energy. If there is no Zhuo Yang, Jie Shuai will honestly customize the anti-anti-anti template for the Chinese team. However, without Zhuo Yang, Rijkaard would not have come to China at all.

Therefore, the tactics of full offense and full defense + control flow have become the most suitable playing style for the current Chinese team, and there has never been the best tactic, only the most suitable tactic. As a Dutch coach, Jie Shuai does have the most experience in this tactic, and his successful coaching resume at Barcelona also makes him the best at these.

If it weren't for sticking to the self-dominated style of play and maximizing Zhuo Yang's deterrence, the Chinese team would never have scored 12 goals in the three group games, and it would have been impossible to take the lead in each game. If the traditional way of thinking is to play defense, the Chinese team will most likely lose or draw in the first three games, and have no chance of advancing to the round of 16.

It's a pity that the shortcomings of the Chinese players' ability determine the strength of the team, and no matter how advanced the tactics are, they also need people to execute.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team still followed the full attack and defense dominated by me to deal with the Netherlands, but was soon provoked by the opponent who retreated comprehensively, and the offensive became more and more fierce, completely forgetting that after the full attack, there was still a full defense. Truth be told, this is also a comprehensive portrayal of the tactical ability of Chinese players.

A team of the Netherlands' level, once the unified mind plays a defensive counterattack, the midfield is almost impeccable, and the front end is a famous corner attacker, which makes the Netherlands very efficient in the counterattack. From this point of view, in fact, like the handsome Chinese team, the defensive counterattack is indeed the most suitable for today's Netherlands.

In the 18th minute, when Robben suddenly counterattacked with the ball, Rong Hao, who was bent on repeating the feat of blocking Eto'o before the game, no longer knew where he was thrown off.

The three main players in the midfield are absent, and Jie Shuai is on Rong Hao, indeed wanting to use him to contain Robben's side, if the scene of almost abolishing Eto'o can be reproduced, it will undoubtedly be the gospel of the Chinese team. But that time was a coincidence, Cameroon's reckless attack and Eto'o's gambling lone ranger style gave Rong Hao a chance to make a name for himself, but today's anti-Holland and Robben, who has a larger range of movement and more unique skills, completely exposed that Rong Hao is just an ordinary Chinese player.

If Robben is really blocked, even if Rong Hao is just a scum-level player in other aspects, he will definitely be signed by a well-known team in the five major leagues. I don't want you to do anything else, meet the Four Heavenly Kings, Six Swordsmen, Eighty Arhats, or something, please God, look at you!

After receiving Sneijder's sudden diagonal cross from midfield, Robben burst into the box on the right flank and began his 'the whole world knows but can't stop' inside cut. A few feints that wanted to shoot but didn't shoot made the three central defenders fly up, and Li Weifeng, Du Wei, and Feng Xiaoting almost formed an encirclement of Robben in the end, but they still let him kick out of the crotch and slipped to the ground in the cracks.

The shot from outside the penalty area crossed Wang Dalei's fingertips.

Sun Jihai in the first round of the group with Paraguay, because of a malicious foul to receive a red card, was later punished by FIFA, and today with the Netherlands 1/8, he has been released. But Jie Shuai didn't plan to let him start, although Sun Jihai's comprehensive strength in the back line was even higher than Li Weifeng, Jie Shuai still abandoned him.

In the World Cup, everyone must put the interests of the national team, or the national interest, first. In order to be a good captain of himself, Zhuo Yang did not even agree to the request of Cocoon, who had already been on vacation, to come to South Africa to accompany the team. Everyone has to control their emotions, there are not many big-name stars in the Chinese team, but there are many big names. Now with Zhuo Yang's deterrence, no one dares to play big names anymore, and those behaviors that disregard the interests of the team in order to vent their personal anger must be stopped.

There is no need to communicate at all, Zhuo Yang and Jie Shuai have a very tacit understanding on the matter of refrigerating Sun Jihai. Except for Zhuo Yang, the Chinese team can lack anyone, even Rijkaard.

.

Zhuo Yang naturally encountered the special care of his brother butcher De Jong today, as well as the assistance of Van Bommel, who was also strong in defense, which was a big step up from the strength of Jia Baye a few days ago. A headache must be a headache, but this is not the expectation of a hearty competition between the top masters.

The Dutch team formed between 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 and also played in midfield. Detu and Fan Umbrella explained to Zhuo Yang, and it was enough for others to deal with the rest of the Chinese team, especially at this time, when the Dutch team was ahead of the score, and the defensive counterattack was even more enjoyable.

The Chinese team fell behind in the score, and the players were eager to pull it back, but the enthusiasm of the attack could not be exchanged for an actual threat to the goal. In the first half hour, the Chinese team had twice as many shots as the Netherlands, reaching eight, but only Zhuo Yang and Li Jinyu hit the frame of the goal once. On the other hand, the Dutch, as long as they play a counterattack, will have a real threat, and the Chinese team is shocked into a cold sweat again and again.

In the 32nd minute, Hao Junmin's dribbling in front was tackled by Van Bronckhorst of the Dutch team, and the Dutchman played a smooth counterattack again, and Kuyt's pass in the ribs after taking the ball broke through the Chinese team's defense. As a last resort, Du Wei stopped Van Persie's shot with a yellow card and a penalty.

Van Persie himself stood in front of the penalty spot, and everyone in the audience thought it would be the end of the game, but they didn't expect it to be just the beginning.
