On the evening of March 25, Tianjin.

After a few days of intensive training, the Chinese national team ushered in the second group stage of the quarterfinals.

Sit at home against another strong team in this group, Japan.

Due to the previous 1-0 away defeat to Iran, Japan defeated North Korea 2-1 at home, which makes it possible for the Chinese team to win Japan at home in this game, it will undoubtedly have an advantage in the group.

Because of this, both China and Japan are very cautious in this game.

Especially considering the previous Asian Cup final, Japan was beaten 3-0 by China.

After the run-in of the Asian Cup, Alihan discharged a four-three-three formation this time, and the young version of the trident of Yan Song, Yang Yang and Chen Tao was discharged in the front, which was also a very bold attempt.

Yang Yang is only 18 years old, Chen Tao has just turned 20, and Yan Song is only 24 years old, and the front trident can be called the youngest attacking combination in China's history, including Li Jinyu, Li Yi and Hao Dong, many old internationals are either not selected for the training list, or sit on the bench.

In this regard, Alihan said that he is vigorously promoting the renewal of the Chinese national team, because considering that the World Cup is next year, many international players are obviously no longer suitable to stay in the team.

If it's surprising to be bold enough to use newcomers up front, the backline remains largely unchanged.

Sun Xiang on the left, Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng in the middle, Wei Xin on the right, and Liu Yunfei as the goalkeeper.

Alihan obviously thinks that the Chinese team's backline is very satisfactory to him and has no intention of adjusting.

In terms of midfield, in the last round of the Iranian team, the three backs were used, although conservative, but they did play a role, but this time Alihan gave up the three-back style of play and instead adopted the combination of Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe and Zhou Haibin.

Among them, Shao Jiayi is in the front, and Zhao Junzhe and Zhou Haibin form a double back.

Judging from the arrangement, Alihan has been trying to attack the midfield of the Chinese team after stabilizing the backline.

In terms of tactics, Alihan is indeed cautious, but it does not mean that he is conservative on every game.

…………

…………

As soon as the game began, both sides actively tried to probe.

In the first ten minutes, both teams were in the run-in attempt.

The first threatening attack of the game came in the twelfth minute, when Japan's Hidetoshi Nakata gave a ball that looked like a pass on the right side of the edge of the penalty area, but goalkeeper Liu Yunfei made a decisive move to save the ball.

Just a minute later, Shunsuke Nakamura, who played for Serie A Reggina, forced a breakthrough with the ball and was tackled by Zhou Haibin, and the referee immediately gave Zhou Haibin a yellow card, which was also the first yellow card of the game.

After being hit by the Japanese team in a row, the Chinese team quickly created an opportunity to counterattack.

Yang Yang quickly counterattacked, inserted to the left side of the Japanese team, received a pass from his teammates, and crossed to the front of the penalty area.

This was also the first shot of the Chinese team in this game.

Subsequently, after the Chinese team stabilized its position, it frequently created opportunities.

Zhou Haibin's diagonal pass, Yang Yang quickly pulled to the right side to win the ball, facing the two defenders of the Japanese team, Yang Yang suddenly started, dribbled through the middle of the two, cut to the front of the penalty area, and directly volleyed with his left foot.

The shot was very similar to the one against AZ Alkmaar before, but it was much closer, the quality was good, the ball was pressed, but it was still slightly over the crossbar.

Although this shot failed to create a goal, it still made the Japanese team break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone is also well aware that Yang Yang's personal ability is still very advantageous in the face of Japanese players.

He is a star who can stand alone at Ajax and make most of Europe's giants covet the rookie.

And after tasting the sweetness, Yang Yang also began to behave more actively, more actively taking the ball.

Three minutes later, Yang Yang took the initiative to retreat from the front court and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The position where he took the ball was exactly between the Japanese team's midfield and the backline, which made the Japanese players very uncomfortable, and Yang Yang received the ball and turned around, and then quickly rushed forward with the ball.

After the speed got up, the Japanese team couldn't stop it if they wanted to, so they could only foul it hard.

For this reason, the referee gave a yellow card to the Japanese team's central defender Miyamoto Hengyasu, and at the same time gave the Chinese team a set-piece opportunity in front.

…………

…………

Yang Yang grabbed Shao Jiayi's hand and got up from the grass.

Miyamoto Hengjing is still very strong, this time the foul is very decisive and crisp, the position is a little far, on the left side, a direct free kick is impossible, at most only one set-piece cooperation.

"How do you fight this time?" Shao Jia asked with a look of embarrassment.

The ball in this position is really not very easy to handle.

"Let's cooperate, I'm ambushing on the edge of the penalty area." Yang Yang proposed.

Shao Jia thought about it and immediately nodded in agreement.

After Yang Yang stood up, he did not rush to the penalty area for the first time, but stood not far from the penalty spot.

This made the Japanese defenders a little worried, for fear that this would be a quick free kick cooperation, and immediately separated two defenders, one left and one right to follow Yang Yang.

Defending one-on-one, they are still not at ease enough.

Yang Yang didn't care, and walked slowly.

Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi and others have entered the forbidden area one after another, and they obviously have already known the plan.

With the referee's whistle, Shao Jiayi quickly took a free kick.

Everyone on the pitch started running.

Yang Yang first made a gesture to come over to meet Shao Jiayi, and scared the Japanese defenders to run after him, but suddenly made a sharp stop and turned to rush towards the front of the penalty area.

The ball crossed an arc and fell into the Japanese penalty area.

Li Weifeng grabbed the position in the penalty area, and Miyamoto Hengjing blocked between him and the goal, but the big head did not intend to head the goal, but returned the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

At this time, Yang Yang just rushed over, facing the incoming ball, before the Japanese defenders, Yang Yang stopped the ball to the right side with his right foot, just avoided the defense of the Japanese players, and then caught up, after standing with his left foot, he picked up his right foot and hit it directly!

"Yang Yang !!!"

"The ball is in!!!!"

"In the twenty-third minute, Yang Yang scored the first goal of the Chinese team in this game!"

"This is a set-piece cooperation between players, Shao Jiayi took a set-piece, Li Weifeng's header was ferried back to the front of the penalty area, and Yang Yang stopped the ball past the Japanese defenders and hit the goal directly with his right foot."

"The shot at the top of the arc was very exciting, and the football went directly into the goal of the Japanese team, 1-0!"

After scoring the goal, Yang Yang rushed out of the stadium excitedly, waving his arms along the way, signaling that the fans at the scene should be more excited and give the home team more applause and cheers.

All the Chinese fans at the scene burst into thunderous cheers, and everyone chanted Yang Yang in unison.

"After the start of the first half, the Japanese team did create more chances, but the Chinese team calmly grasped the best opportunity, Yang Yang relied on his individual ability, created a set-piece in front, and also scored himself."

"It was his second shot of the game, he didn't expect it to be a goal, and his form has been so good in recent times!"

…………

…………

The game resumes.

The Japanese team fell behind by one goal and began to organize and launch attacks non-stop.

Japanese internationals such as Hidetoshi Nakata, Shinji Ono and Shunsuke Nakamura have frequently created threats.

Among them, in particular, Shinji Ono in the 33rd minute, a long-range shot from 30 meters away, almost grazing the post out of bounds, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.

In the 39th minute, Japan had a corner kick opportunity, and Hidetoshi Nakata's header hit the side netting, which also almost broke the goal.

After the rematch in the second half, the Japanese team continued to maintain the advantage on the field and continued to attack the Chinese team.

In the first ten minutes or so, even the Chinese team did not even have a chance to attack Japan's 30-meter area, which shows how embarrassing the scene is.

But in the 61st minute, the Chinese team quickly played a counterattack.

After Yang Yang received Zhou Haibin's pass in the front court, he blocked the Japanese central defender with his body, picked up the left side of the pass, Yan Song quickly cut in diagonally, and directly hit a cold shot after receiving the ball, but it was slightly out of the goal.

But just when everyone thought that the Chinese team would carry the Japanese team's attack, in the 66th minute, Hidetoshi Nakata made a cross from the left, and goalkeeper Liu Yunfei abandoned the goal and grabbed it with Li Weifeng.

One-to-one!

This goal was a great blow to the morale of the Chinese team.

It can also be said to confirm Alihan's various uneasiness before the game, that is, the lack of player strength and skills and tactics has led to a very low tolerance rate for the team in the game.

The goal conceded just now can be said to have nothing to do with the manager's arrangement, it is completely the result of the players being too nervous on the field, and both of them are in a hurry to clear the siege, which leads to no good communication and coordination between each other, but instead causes conflicts.

There is nothing anyone can do about this situation in the team.

To put it bluntly, the skills are inferior to others.

After scoring a goal, Yang Yang also kept comforting his teammates and calling on everyone to keep up the good work.

…………

…………

After the restart, Yang Yang showed more enthusiasm.

The Chinese team soon got a free kick opportunity in front of the field, and quickly passed it to the penalty area through tactical coordination.

Yang Yang got a chance at the back post, but his kick was slightly wide.

Subsequently, when Shao Jiayi attacked with the ball in the middle, he was pushed down by Shinji Ono of the Japanese team, and the referee gave the Japanese midfielder a yellow card.

Shao Jiayi's free kick did not pose a threat and was directly saved by the goalkeeper.

After the equaliser, the Chinese team began to create frequent threats, but they were always one step away from scoring.

Until the 77th minute, Yang Yang pulled to the right side, and when he received a pass from Zhou Haibin, he turned around and cut the ball inward, and then suddenly passed diagonally to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.
