Chapter 249 The all-round gap between China and Japan
Lying on the ground grinning for three minutes, getting up and inhaling the cool air for two minutes, Yang Jun couldn't hold on, and the Chinese team could only be forced to make substitutions in the 15th minute of the first half, and the 24-year-old Zeng Cheng came on to replace Yang Jun, who broke his waist.
Zeng Cheng is a good goalkeeper, and his performance in the first few starts is reasonable, but it is true that he is not necessarily much better than other domestic goalkeepers. In fact, this is the current situation of most players in China, who are similar to each other in the same position, and have no distinctive personal characteristics. This kind of player leveling phenomenon, the head coach will be very difficult when he needs to make substitutions and adjustments, and the immediate effect of substitutions is supported by the strength characteristics of the players.
Yang Jun was on the final in order to use his experience and stability, who would have thought that he would be so unlucky and take a substitution spot early.
In the 21st minute, Zhang Xizhe shook off Atsuto Uchida on the left side and crossed with his feet. In the midfield of the Chinese team, Zhang Xizhe's footwork is relatively smart, so although other aspects are still very insufficient, Jie Shuai still cultivates him as a key training object, after all, he is still malleable at the age of 20 years old.
Zhuo Yang and Yu Han both entered the penalty area before and after the score, but no one grabbed the point, Zhang Xizhe's passing line was slightly deep, so that the two could not catch up, and the football crossed the penalty area and went out of the sideline from the other end.
For the offensive players, Zhang Xizhe's pass was a mistake, and Atsuto Uchida quickly stuck to it after being thrown away by him, interfering with Zhang Xizhe's technical movements when he finally kicked out.
The 23-year-old Atsuto Uchida, who moved to Bundesliga Schalke 04 after the World Cup, has been the main rotation of the team's right-back for half a season, and Hao Junmin is basically his replacement. Hao Junmin, who plays as the main right midfielder in the national team, is an offensive player with strong offense and weak defense, but he was pressed by Magath at right back without a game, which is quite nonsense.
In the lineup of this year's Japanese team, there are 10 players who play in Europe and can basically play the main team, while there are seven or eight people who have not been selected for the national team. The Chinese players were lively last summer, but after the clouds cleared, no one was added to Europe, but Zheng Cheng and Sun Xiang returned to China one after another.
Now, except for Zhuo Yang, only Shao Jiayi and Hao Junmin are still struggling to support themselves in Europe, but they don't see much time. This is the cold reality behind the glitz of Chinese football, and it is also the most intuitive gap with today's opponents in the final. From this comparison, it can also be shown that the level of each generation of Japanese players is steadily improving, and the Chinese players are really not as good as the generation.
Zhuo Yang chatted with the president of the Football Association, Wei Di, and said: "I can beat every opponent I meet, but I can't send my teammates to play in Europe. If one day China can have more than 20 people playing in the five major leagues, I promise that the national team can go to Asia and go to Spain, Brazil and Germany to wrestle their wrists.
.
In the 26th minute, Shinji Kagawa shook off Zhao Jiuri on the side, which was the same as Zhang Xizhe just now, but Zhao Jiuri failed to re-paste it as quickly as Atsuto Uchida, and Kagawa comfortably picked out the inverted triangle on the bottom line.
This pass was too smart, outside the top of the arc was the most important point of the Chinese team's defense at this time, and Endo was about to open fire when he met the ball, forcing Zhuo Yang to release a long-distance shovel and dribble the Japanese captain to the ground. Zhuo Yang's defense was very embarrassing, which damaged his image of the decathlon, but the reality persecuted helplessly, and Endo had a very awesome long-range shot.
Uzbek referee Ilmatov showed Zhuo Yang the first yellow card of the game, which was also Zhuo Yang's first in the Asian Cup. To tell the truth, Mr. Ilmatov's men have shown mercy, and if you were someone else, it would not be unreasonable to throw you a red card. Ilmatov is the No. 1 referee in Asia today, elected the best referee in Asia for three consecutive years, and was the youngest of all 29 referees in South Africa in last year's World Cup opener, at the age of 34.
Shinji Kagawa and Zhang Xizhe, both of whom are the best among the young players of their respective national teams, but when they just handled the cross, one made Zhuo Yang sigh at the ball, and the other forced Zhuo Yang to foul shamelessly, which was not half a star.
Shinji Kagawa transferred to Dortmund last summer, with a transfer fee of 350,000 yuan and a salary of 520,000 yuan before tax, and no Chinese international can look at it. Although he knew that his brother didn't like the Japanese, Grandpa Kemo still praised Shinji Kagawa in front of Zhuo Yang. Half a season has passed, Shinji Kagawa has scored 8 goals in 17 appearances and was named the best player in the Bundesliga half.
Zaccheroni's Japan side dominated the 4-3-3 variant 4-2-1-2-1 and the midfield quint was undoubtedly the best in Asia today. The Japanese team, both in terms of individual tactical awareness and overall tactical accomplishment, has completely left Asia and entered Europe, and the style of encirclement and pressing in the midfield is the same as that of the Chinese team, which has the flavor of Barcelona, but Japan is much more superb than the Chinese team in this regard.
Among the two midfielders, many people say that captain Nagato is 'Japanese Xavi', but Zhuo Yang thinks he has a strong Busquets flavor. Makoto Hasebe, the main left wing-back of Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, is Alves, who is one size taller and less capable, and he plays as an offensive and defensive midfielder in the national team.
Keisuke Honda did the job of Little White Iniesta, and he did it well. Look at Stuttgart striker Shinji Okazaki, who looks like a gourd baby. The youngest Shinji Kagawa is called 'Little Zhuoyang' in Dortmund and 'Kobe Messi' in Japan.
On the bench are also sitting on the Bundesliga Augsburg Hosaki Moe, French Grenoble Matsui Daisuke, plus Jungo Fujimoto, Takuya Honda, and Yosuke Kashiwagi who play in the domestic J League, it is chilling to think that these people can push Shunsuke Nakamura so much that he can't even sit on the bench.
If there is a Shunsuke Nakamura in the midfield, Zhuo Yang will buy a truckload of firecrackers to celebrate. There is no harm if there is no comparison, it is a team that emphasizes the midfield, and the goods have to be thrown away.
.
Keisuke Honda's free kick went around the human wall and also bypassed Zeng Cheng, but it didn't dodge the crossbar, and the football hit the lintel. There was chaos at the drop point, and big centre-back Maya Yoshida, who plays for VVV Venlo in the Eredivisie, grabbed the spot, but his very reluctant header did not hit the top of the net.
Zeng Cheng clenched his fists and struck hard, and the football that Maeda Ryoichi made bad for him to hit below, so the chaos in the penalty area was gone.
Yasuyuki Konno shook his arms and shouted angrily - Baga! Rising to the sky and seeing that he was about to do something, Zhuo Yang suddenly descended from the heavenly god opposite him.
"I'll fuck you!!"
With his chest on top of Yasuyuki Konno's head, Zhuo Yang hit his elbow and threw him into the air and rolled him straight, depicting in the dry land.
