Chapter 281: Pre-War Mobilization [Three Watches]

Due to the excellent performance of the Chinese team against the South Korean team in the quarterfinals. The Chinese team has naturally attracted much attention in the past few days, and a large number of reporters and fans have gathered outside the hotel and training ground every day.

Their request is very simple, just to see the players of the Chinese team and see their heroes up close in reality.

In the past few days, the players of the Chinese team have mainly been restorative training and have not exercised much. Coupled with the success of breaking the Korean team, the mood is relatively relaxed, and the sound of the players laughing happily can be seen everywhere on the court, and their confidence has increased a lot.

However, the training of the players is still decent, and if you don't pay attention to it, there will be a small mistake or something. Zhu Guanglu's loud voice will sound around you, so no one dares to be careless.

Now the four teams in the semi-finals have been released, and the next game will be China against Japan. On the other side, Iraq played against Saudi Arabia, and Iran also lost to Saudi Arabia in an upset, but Iraq surprised everyone, and they couldn't imagine that this "mourning army" could go all the way here.

During the three days of waiting for the semi-finals, Japan's media TV took out all the players of the Chinese team to study and compare, and Wu Feng was their number one enemy, pulling them out and studying them over and over again.

Even these media have supported their national teams, and after this "vigorous free publicity" by the Japanese media, Wu Feng has now almost become a household name in Japan.

Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" believes that if the Japanese team wants to win the Chinese team, it must not let the Chinese team have a chance to counterattack, and they should all keep attacking. You know, the goalkeeper on the opposite side has not conceded a goal in terms of penalties so far.

And Wu Feng is extremely powerful in the face of one-on-one duels, and the Japanese team does not have the kind of world-class striker. So once the two sides draw and drag it to the penalty shootout, then the Japanese team will lose very badly.

The Asahi Shimbun suggested that Osim, the head coach of the Japanese team, should play his own style and football with me, rather than changing the team's style of play just because the opponent has a goalkeeper.

However, the experienced Osim has not been swayed by these media, and he has been taking the players to conduct closed training in the past two days, just like the Chinese team's training camp. The main thing is to train how to break the goalkeeper Wu Feng of the Chinese team, which is a headache for all the strong teams in the Asian Cup.

During the training, Osim repeatedly used several formations, double strikers, three forwards, full attack, full attack, and defensive counterattack. But in the end, Osim found that among all these tactics, it is still the most suitable style of play for the Japanese team, the Chinese team's midfield strength is much lower than that of the Japanese team, and controlling the midfield can provide a steady stream of firepower for the forward players, which is more conducive to the current situation of the Japanese team.

And the Chinese team here is not idle, they are training how to resist the technical superiority of the Japanese team. Zhu Guanglu continued to use the same lineup against Iran and South Korea, attacking against attack, and he had a super goalkeeper, which was not good for use, which was really a waste.

Moreover, there is a relationship between China and Japan, so no matter what, the Chinese team has to win this game. When I didn't meet the Japanese team, it didn't matter, and now the Football General Bureau has personally issued an "order" that this battle will not be defeated.

And now is the time when the fighting spirit of the Chinese team is very high, if you don't take this opportunity to play a beautiful big battle with the Japanese team, how can you be worthy of the support of all the people. This Sino-Japanese war has caused a greater sensation in China, not only domestic fans, but also many overseas fans, have called the embassy and CCTV to cheer for the Chinese team.

In the past, the Chinese team didn't have the strength, so at that time, the fans didn't say anything about the motherland, and now the situation of the Chinese team is very good. If you encounter such a "mortal enemy" again, how can you justify it if you don't take revenge fiercely.

Moreover, the characteristics of the Iranian team are somewhat similar to those of the Japanese team, Japan's speed of moving the ball is very fast, the cooperation between each other is also very skillful, and the midfield control is much stronger than that of the Chinese team.

And even if the Chinese team sends three backs, including Zhang Cheng, Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri, they dare not say that they can completely block the penetration of the Japanese team.

In the end, Zhu Guanglu decided to put Zhang Cheng's position on the premise, and the Japanese team seized control of the midfield, playing double front and back midfield. In the frontcourt, Zhang Cheng and Zheng Zhi held back the defenders of the Japanese team, waiting for the opportunity to score. And Shao Jiayi is almost recovering, and at a critical moment, he can also be used as a surprise soldier to attack the city.

The players trained intensively, and the media on both sides began a war of words, and even fans from both China and Japan started a war of words.

Due to the historical grievances and hatreds between China and Japan, and Japan's continuous desire to surpass the past in other Chinese sports over the years, although Chinese football was defeated by the Japanese team, they still want to continue to teach the Chinese team a lesson in this time, which is known as the strongest in China in recent years.

Therefore, this game has been given more meaning by fans and media on both sides, and the first to fire at Chinese fans is the Asahi Shimbun.

The Asahi Shimbun predicts a 2-0 victory for Japan, and the Japanese players' fast and concise passing methods will make the Chinese players exhausted. And they will definitely be able to break through Wu Feng's goal and make his miracle a thing of the past.

The match was played by China's Sports Weekly, and they conducted a survey to find out which team from China or Japan would qualify for the final, and the Chinese team received much higher support than the Japanese team.

Many fans highly respect the goalkeeping skills of Wu Feng, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, and appreciate the Chinese team's counter-suppression tactics with Wu Feng as the core. They believe that it is impossible for the Japanese team to knock on the door of the Chinese team, but the Chinese team's attack is deadly, and these Asian Cup games have made these Asian fans see the very good offensive ability of the Chinese players.

And the reporter of China's "Football News" also listed the three Achilles' heels of the Japanese team, weak forwards, poor headers, and lack of breakthrough masters.

In the face of the Chinese team's open-ended tactics of attacking instead of defending, the Japanese team will definitely have a hard time, which will make it even more difficult for them to win.

The next thing was a scolding battle between netizens and fans on both sides on the Internet, and Chinese fans said that Wu Feng would definitely continue to stage a clean sheet miracle in the game to teach little Japan a lesson.

And Japanese fans declared that they would once again beat the Chinese team back to the prototype of the sick man of East Asia, and Wu Feng, the so-called Chinese door god, would also be broken by them.

Three days passed quickly, and the battle for the final qualification between the Chinese team and the Japanese team was about to begin.
