Although the age advantage was not the decisive factor in this game, it has to be admitted that the U23 Chinese team did take advantage of it in this regard. The age difference between the two sides has led to the average Chinese team players being half a head taller than the Japanese team, and such a lineup makes the physical disadvantages of Wei Shihao and Tang Shi and others be covered, and even overpowering others, which is more conducive to them to play their own strength and advantages. Look at the two goals contributed by Wei Shihao, and the own goal of the Japanese team is also from Wei Shihao's shot, and the dominance is already comparable to the national team's land chasing tigers.

Of course, it is not very appropriate to overemphasize "bullying the small with the big", and age is not enough to ensure victory, after all, they won the U23 Asian preliminaries last year, and then traced back to more than three years ago, the U19 national youth Wei Shihao and Tang Shi still defeated the Japanese team of the same age......

It's really an anti-Japanese experience!

By comparing this game with many national team matches without Lu Zhuhu, it can be found that compared with the "honest and honest" predecessors, the young players of the U23 appear to be more sleek and cunning, cunning, or "sophisticated". Faced with a one-goal lead in the second half, the national team often failed to hold on to the win, and was often equalized or killed at the last moment, even in the two World Cup games against Argentina and Portugal. In the end, more than one player played the law of lying on the grass and corner kicks, set-piece delaying, and finally pitted the two yellow cards of the Japanese team, which was gradually impatient, and successfully used delaying tactics to keep the score and finally win the game.

What's more worth mentioning is that compared with the last game against Saudi Arabia, although the Chinese team was also scored by the Japanese team in the early stage of the game to take the lead, the team did not panic this time. Even if he was temporarily suppressed, he maintained a stable formation, pressed and counterattacked flexibly, and after withstanding the onslaught of the opponent, he used his speed to form a pressure on the flanks to bring the game back to parity. These all show from the side that the psychological quality and on-the-spot adaptability of the young players have been strengthened and even transformed after the last game, which is the most valuable - of course, it is also related to Lu Zhuhu leaving Maddaloni to have a closed-door meeting with the players. Lu Zhuhu can be said to have been very successful in the "Experience Transmission Conference" this time, and his strategy is to ......

Put a PPT for the players!

Basically, there is no text description, just a big picture......

Well, the first one, Shin Okazaki helped Lu Zhuhu pick up the ball......

In the second photo, Shin Okazaki helps Lu Zhuhu to put obstacles......

In the third, Lu Zhuhu instructed Kota Watanabe in Tokyo Green to pass the ball......

In the fourth, Sho Akagi, Yuta Kamiya, and Keita Endo, who look no more than twelve or thirteen years old, struggle to block Lu Zhuhu's breakthrough, which is a scene in the "five professional players against 100 elementary school students" competition held by TV Tokyo, which is known for its "peculiar painting style" and is known for its strangeness......

In the fifth, Lu Zhuhu instructed Shin Okazaki to do his math homework...... （？？ ）

Lu Zhuhu "affectionately reviewed" his experience of traveling with the Japanese team in the past few years with the Japanese team, who were still foaming at the time, and suddenly turned his current opponent back into a nesty and psychologically fragile Xiao Zhengtai......

After showing off that he is the life mentor of today's new generation of Japanese players, Lu Zhuhu also played the past games, the goals and wonderful performances of Wei Shihao and others in the face of this group of Japanese players, cut sharply, and watched very enjoyable, which determined the trend of today's game.

Say that you can do it, others can't, then you really have real experience to prove it, otherwise what's the point of blowing nonsense, forcibly belittling opponents, sticks and devils?

It's just that the "Famous Sightseeing Group" invited by Lu Zhuhu today has a lot of complaints about the team's conservative delay at the last moment, and in their opinion, they must work hard with each other to show my Chinese style!

How can you use these obscene tactics?

In this regard, Lu Zhuhu can only cry out for the little brothers, but these bigwigs don't understand the football situation in Asia today, don't look at the youth team can still win, from the perspective of talent reserve and echelon training, there is indeed a big gap with others!

Not to mention compared with the Chinese team, compared with other Asian powerhouses such as South Korea and Iran, the Japanese team still has a clear advantage in terms of the proportion of foreign players and the overall quality of foreign players. Insisting on staying abroad is the dream of Japanese players not to change their original intentions. Unlike Chinese players who dream of landing in the top five leagues in one step, Japanese players will go step by step in order to dream, and even work hard in the European small national leagues first, step by step, looking for opportunities. In 2015, Yoshiki Muto, a popular fried chicken in Japanese football, explicitly rejected Chelsea's obviously commercial offer of 4 million euros and chose to go to Mainz, a mid-range team in the Bundesliga; Yoichiro Kakiya rejected the call of the Bundesliga and switched to Swiss overlord Basel.

There are also Junya Tanaka, who transferred to Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League, and Amu Tanaka and Mike Havinal, who moved to Helsinki in the Finnish Super League...... On the other hand, these Chinese players nowadays either don't talk about staying abroad at all, or when they talk about staying abroad, the teams associated with the players are often first-line popular teams like Chelsea and Inter, and they don't have points for a few pounds and taels?

Japanese clubs, on the other hand, do not put much in the way of players staying abroad, often backing players at extremely low transfer prices.

This kind of foreign culture of Japanese players has indeed been around for a long time, and the ability to have a foothold in overseas leagues and even top European teams is inseparable from the background that Japanese football has always attached importance to youth training. The Japanese Football Association said that it will win the World Cup in 2050, and China will only listen to this as a joke, but people are indeed doing it as a century-old plan.

And we, even if we have a 10-year plan?

Just like the questionnaire survey conducted by the popular Huaxia Happiness Club on the young players of the echelon of the Kawasaki Frontale Club in Japan, the results show that the age at which the young players start playing is about 4.4 years old, while the average age in China is generally 8 or 9 years old. Regardless of whether you are too young and clumsy, people have been playing for 3 or 5 years longer than you, is it strange that there is a gap in performance on the field?

Nowadays, the media play of young players is basically "2-3 hours", and there is not much difference. But others can play 100 official games a year, which means that they can play an average of 2 official games a week, and Chinese young players only have 20-30 games. That's an average of 2 weeks to play a full match. The total number of matches played in a year is less than one-third of that of Japanese players!

With adequate training and competitions as a foundation, it is not only logical that Japanese players can show that they are better than their peers in other Asian countries? Don't look at how many times the Chinese team can win now, when it comes to the national team, the average strength can't catch up at all. Tear off the fig leaf of Lao Lu again, and let the world see how shameful it is!

The Japan Football Association has also introduced its own "U23 Policy" to build the future of Japanese football. Unlike the Chinese Football Association, which forced Chinese Super League clubs to let U23 players play in the league, one of the focuses of Japan's U23 policy is to let players "go out". One of the contents of its policy is to "(the national youth team) to go overseas for high-intensity training and participate in more friendly matches", and for the training of domestic club U23 players, they also adopt a similar approach to La Liga, and the U23 team of J1 club competes in the J3 league. As for the U23 policy of the Chinese Football Association, it seems to be helpful for the growth of young players, but it is far from effective, and what impact it will have on the current football environment needs to be further tested in the future.

Not to mention other young players, even the current leader in the team, today's dominator of the stadium is the best example, when he participated in a talk show, talking about the story of working hard in Portugal in the past, he bluntly said that "the dream is slowly gone".

I felt that I couldn't play abroad, so I went back to China, it's as simple as that.

Domestically, there is really too much money.

Other countries, especially underdeveloped countries, often have no way back when they choose to be players. For example, African players, Brazilian players, and families all hope to play out to support their families, but Chinese players not only have a way out, but the way out is even much brighter than the so-called "great expectations", and they will return to China to earn more money.

This is exactly the reality that Chinese football is facing: with the help of the domestic U23 policy, powerful young players have become the "sweet and sweet" of clubs, and the income from playing in China far exceeds that of overseas, and at the same time, the competitive pressure is even less. It seems to be for the sake of the development and progress of young players, but in fact, it is to fish with all your might, drink and quench your thirst!

But such a simple truth, the Federation of Sports and the old men of the Football Association do not understand.

Zhang Yuning, who is still struggling overseas, can be regarded as one of the outliers. Although he doesn't have much chance to play, he just doesn't want to return to China to get a high salary in the Super League! Lu Zhuhu has told him more than once that he wants to stay in Europe, and he has praised it in front of the media more than once: "There are many temptations for players now." The principal gave up his high income at home to hone himself overseas, and he is still young, so I personally support him very much. ”

Let's see how long this persistence can last! I also hope that under my own guidance, more people will go overseas and use their skills to earn bigger contracts.

The confrontation between China and Japan is not as hot as imagined, but it can be regarded as a lot of rounds back and forth, and it can basically be accepted by the audience, and the focus battle is naturally Sun Qiuwang vs. Central Asian wolf Uzbekistan.

Ridicule is ridicule, there are indeed many voices expressing their worries about Sun Qiuwang and his team in this game - this level may not be passable, and it is really not from personal feelings.

In the 1/8 finals, the main goalkeeper of the South Korean team, Cho Hyun-woo, was replaced due to injury, so in this 1/4 finals, Song Fangun replaced Cho Hyun-woo on the court. Son Heung-min is still very excited and active, in the first 5 minutes, the South Korean team launched a counterattack, by Son Heung-min with the ball along the middle to advance to carry the defense diagonal pass to the right, Hwang Yi-suke stepped forward to take the ball along the right side of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot, the goalkeeper could not save, and the South Korean team made a 1-0 dream start. But soon the Uzbekistan team instigated an offensive on the right side of the front, the South Korean team's central defender scrambled to clear not far away, Hamdamov burst into the penalty area along the right side, leaned on the defender near the bottom line, unloaded the ball, and then reversed the triangle back to knock on the goal, Masharipov, who was ambushed in front of the goal, met the ball and swept the net with his right foot to tie the score. What is even more unfavorable to the South Korean team is that soon the main defender Jang Yun-ho was injured and replaced, and his strength was frustrated again.

Resilience is shown at this moment - in the 35th minute, Huang Yizhu received a diagonal pass from Huang Renfan in front of the opponent's penalty area, half-turned and shot vigorously with his right foot, the ball hung in the upper right corner of the goal into the net, led again, and maintained it until halftime, but Uzbekistan could not play, and immediately made a comeback in the second half, in the 53rd minute, Alibayev unloaded the ball in the air and volleyed against the goalkeeper, Song Fangen failed to block the ball even if he blocked the near corner, and the Zbekistan team equalized again. Two minutes later, the Uzbekistan team had another chance to counterattack, the midfield broke the ball and advanced quickly, Alibayev received a direct pass from his teammates in front of the opponent's penalty area, turned around to get rid of the defense, and then took a left-footed long shot, the ball hit Hwang Hyun-so's leg and refracted, Song Fangen had fallen to the ground and lost his center of gravity, watching the ball roll into the net from his side, and was overtaken by the Uzbekistan team.

At this point, there was a jubilant voice on the Internet in China, and it seemed that Sun Qiuwang was indeed very sad to pass this hurdle and join the Chinese team.

No one else can save the South Korean team and Sun Qiuwang, if you want it, it can only be Sun Qiuwang himself, he did show his strength as a first-line star, in the 75th minute, using the Uzbekistan team's central defender to make a half-time pass error, Son Heung-min cut off the ball and then crossed diagonally to the middle, assisting Huang Yizhu to hit a single push, and Huang Yizhu and Son Heung-min, who completed the hat trick, teamed up to help the South Korean team tie the score. Even Son Heung-min had a chance to kill the game afterwards, but his powerful left-footed long-range shot after cutting inside with the ball missed the post, and the regular time was over, and the 3-3 draw went into extra time.

Seeing this, to be honest, many people don't want to see Sun Xingmin stop there, and would rather "return to the mountain" to see his head-to-head showdown with Lu Zhuhu. The extra time was still full of suspense, but in the 10th minute of the first half of the extra time, Alibayev clashed with the South Korean players and was sent off, eating two yellows and turning one red, and the Uzbekistan team played one less player, and the balance of power between the two sides changed from here, but Uzbekistan still stubbornly resisted and did not give the South Koreans a chance. Played to the 117th minute, just when the audience was ready for a penalty shootout, the South Korean team's frontcourt Hwang Eui-suke picked the ball and burst into the penalty area, Ashmotov had a hand pulling action when chasing the defense, Hwang Yi-suke fell in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty!

Big dirty B Huang Xican has rich experience and excellent psychological quality, so he will be punished-

After the South Korean team was overtaken by Uzbekistan 3-2 in the second half of regular time, Son Heung-min was angry with his teammates, showing obvious anxiety and irritability, after all, whether he can pass the Uzbekistan hurdle is related to the prospects of his entire career. And this time, when Huang Xican took the penalty, Sun Xingmin even covered his face and didn't dare to watch the process of Huang Xican's penalty kick.

However, Hwang Hee-chan took the penalty kick in one fell swoop - as soon as the goal was scored, the South Korean team had firmly grasped the right to advance in their own hands. Huang Xican stripped off to celebrate, and Sun Xingmin also jumped up to celebrate the victory!

Lu someone, wait!
