Chapter 282: The Battle to Destroy the Sun (1)
On the morning of the game, Wu Feng's family called him, saying that the people in his hometown were watching the game and hoped that he would "avenge" the older generation of the Anti-Japanese War in his hometown. Even many of the older generation in the city, who don't understand football, are paying attention to this game, and they hope that Wu Feng, a player from Luning City, can teach little Japan a lesson.
The semi-finals also attracted many big names, Chairman Cai of the General Administration of Sports, the President of the Japanese Football Association and the President of the AFC all flew to Kuala Lumpur to watch the Sino-Japanese semi-finals.
The Chinese players were a little nervous when they came on the pitch in this game, and they had not reached the semi-finals for a long time. Although before the game, FA chairman Cai Zhenhua and head coach Zhu Guanglu told everyone to relax and play their best to defeat the Japanese team.
The only one who has the experience of winning the championship is Wu Feng, in the face of these nervous teammates, his heart is very calm at the moment, and he also jokes with his teammates from time to time to relax them.
Soon the time came to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, fifteen minutes before the game, and in this game, the formation of the Chinese team hardly changed, and it was still a 4-4-2 traditional attack formation.
This is also the most suitable formation for the Chinese team players at present, but the physical requirements for the players are a bit high.
For the Chinese team:
Goalkeeper: Wu Feng
Defenders: Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Du Wei, Sun Xiang
Midfielders: Zhou Haibin, Zhang Cheng, Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi
Forwards: Dong Fangzhuo, Wang Peng
Japan was almost 4-4-2, but Shunsuke Nakamura was in front of the midfield. He is a striker and a striker when necessary. The original Osakoto was not selected for the Japanese national team in this Asian Cup for some reason, which may be related to the previous duel with Wu Feng in the German Second League.
Goalkeeper: Kawaguchi can live
Defenders: Ryo Kaji, Keisuke Tsuboi, Yuji Nakazawa, Yuichi Komagino
Midfielders: Shunsuke Nakamura, Yasuhito Endo, Yuki Abe, Keita Suzuki
Forwards: Naoyasu Takahara, Seiichiro Maki
When the players from both sides came to the field, the atmosphere in the stadium was immediately detonated, and the fans of both sides were constantly cheering for the names of the players on both sides. In particular, the names of Wu Feng and Shunsuke Nakamura instantly raised the atmosphere of the Bukit Jalil National Stadium to the highest point.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is CCTV-5. In the semi-finals of the 2007 Asian Cup, the match between China and Japan is about to begin! This time, the commentary is still partnered with Jianhong and me, and I hope the audience and friends don't mind. Duan Yixuan introduced it to the audience in front of the TV for the first time.
Liu Jianhong also quickly answered, "Yes, the scene of this semi-final is very hot. This time, not only did many domestic fans go to Kuala Lumpur to cheer for the Chinese team again, but even many overseas Chinese continued to rush to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. Of the 100,000 people in the stadium, almost 70,000 people are from our China, which is really magnificent! ”
"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall........."
The Chinese fans in the stands began to sing the national anthem loudly in front of the Japanese players, and the singing was like a horn, stimulating every Chinese player in the stadium, and the blood kept rolling and rushing in the body.
The post-80s generation grew up watching anti-Japanese movies, and their biggest ideal when they were children was that the Chinese fought for breath, so they were particularly passionate every time they faced the Japanese team.
Although this ideal may not be realized, it doesn't matter, they can also kill the enemy on the football field to avenge the "grudge" with the Japanese team.
The game started soon, and the cunning Japanese team took advantage of the mentality of the Chinese team players who had not yet let go and their attention was not fully focused on the game, and first launched a quick attack on the Chinese team.
Japan's midfielders are really strong, and under the interception of Zhang Cheng's four, they still quickly pushed to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area. Japan's biggest star Shunsuke Nakamura took a long shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball quickly passed through Dewey's blockade and came to the first duel with Wu Feng.
Although the defenders of the Chinese team were a little caught off guard, Wu Feng watched carefully from behind, and he focused all his attention on the opponent this time, and this long-range shot was easily saved by him.
The Chinese players waited for seven or eight minutes for Japan to attack before they could recover their breath, and even Zhang Cheng was a little out of breath, feeling that the Japanese team's pass was too fast, which made him a little overwhelmed and didn't know which one to defend.
However, at this time, the Japanese team's idea of sneak attack also collapsed under Wu Feng's strict formation, and they immediately chose to retract the formation and not give the opponent any chance.
Wu Feng could see clearly in the back, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that the Japanese were really smart and tight, and this move was very good. Find the opportunity to boldly attack, once the opportunity is lost, immediately retreat,
This style of play is very similar to Brazil's, and it is also the essence of what Japan has learned from Brazilian teams over the years, but Japan's ability to control the ball is much worse.
Wu Feng has also studied the style of play of the world's strongest teams such as Brazil, and is also very familiar with the possession style of play, and he knows where the advantages of the possession team are.
In the 10th minute, the Japanese team shot for the second time, and Naotai Takahara's shot was held by Wu Feng again, and then Wu Feng quickly passed the ball to Zhang Cheng.
The Chinese team's current possession ability is not enough to compete with the Japanese team, and they have to rely on counterattacks to win the game. Coach Zhu Guanglu's idea seems to be miscalculated, and it is still difficult to play against the Japanese team.
After a series of smooth cooperation, the Chinese midfielder smoothly advanced to the periphery of the Japanese team's middle. Zhang Cheng made a gesture to shoot, and then crossed diagonally to the arc of the penalty area on the right side.
Zheng Zhi shook Yuji Nakazawa to the side, and Zhou Haibin, who was inserted from the back at high speed, was very decisive and shot the ball.........
"Woo......" A sigh rang out in the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, feeling sorry for Zhou Haibin's shot, which was the first attack of the Chinese team.
Duan Yixuan sighed slightly, and hurriedly said, "Oops, this ball is really a pity!" In the 13th minute of the first half, under the continuous attack of the Japanese team. The Chinese team finally launched the first counterattack, Zhou Haibin's long-range shot was quite threatening, but unfortunately it was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Kawaguchi Neng, and the Chinese team won the first corner in front. We didn't make it, but it didn't matter, we still had a lot of time, and the most important thing was not to make a noise. Kawaguchi can live as the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, although he has been in Japan's local league, but his strength is not bad in Asia, but compared to Ah Feng, he is still not enough. ”
Zhou Haibin also shook his head gently, feeling sorry for his failure to make a contribution to this shot.
The Chinese team's tactical corner, Zheng Zhi quickly pushed the ball out diagonally, Zhang Cheng just touched the ball and felt the pressure on the rear surge, knowing that the opponent's defenders were pressing, he didn't dare to be careless, and quickly passed the football back to other teammates.
Dong Fangzhuo took the ball directly along the bottom line to the left rib, and did not entangle with him after encountering Jia Diliang. Instead, with a gentle rub of the instep of the inside, the football drew a beautiful arc and flew into the central hinterland of the penalty area, and the Chinese team smoothly entered the penalty area from the front.
