Chapter Ninety-Four: Who is the Key Person
When Zhang Jun saw Li Jie throw the ball into the far corner of the goal from the sidelines, he stood up and was ready to cheer, but the football slid out of the goal and disappointed him. If this goal goes into the next game, it will be much better, and the South Korean team will have to press it out, so that the holes of the three central defenders will be widened, and China will have more chances.
It's a pity I didn't get in.
The two sides are still on the same page.
Qiu Suhui just tilted his head to express regret, in his plan, he never thought that the Chinese team would be able to lead in the first ten minutes, it was nothing if he didn't score, and he was pleasantly surprised when he entered. It's going to be a tough fight, but only if he keeps his strength intact.
Someone on the bench scolded her mother lightly, and it could be seen that everyone wanted to win this game, win the game against South Korea away from home.
※※※
The game continued, and after withstanding the onslaught of the Chinese team in the first ten minutes, the South Korean team began to gradually find the feeling of the game. Park Ji-sung posed a big threat to China's defense in the front, and in the face of him with experience in the Dutch professional league, Wang Yu seemed a little inexperienced, and several rash kicks allowed Park Ji-sung to take the opportunity to rush through.
And the two forwards, No. 10 Choi Sung-kook and No. 18 Cho Jae-jin, are also active. After all, it is its home stadium, and with tens of thousands of spectators cheering on, the South Korean team has no reason to let the Chinese be the main anti-guest.
Kim Ho-kun is a 3412 formation designed by the South Korean team, with four defensive midfielders in front of the three central defenders to form a defensive line, and in front of them Park Ji-sung, Choi Sung-kook and Cho Jae-jin can give full play to their attacking power. The four midfielders are particularly important in this squad, with the two central midfielders acting as midfielders when defending, while the two wing-backs can be called full-backs when they fall back, and attacking full-backs are attacking. Attacking and defending, the performance of the four of them will determine the situation of the team.
The team's No. 2 Cao Bingju is naturally responsible for Li Jie's special marking, and the other two central defenders work closely with the full-backs in defense to minimize the space on the wings.
During this time, the South Korean team did have the upper hand in the cheers of the home fans. Therefore, Xiang Tao of the Chinese team did not step forward to assist much, and defended wholeheartedly. It seems that in response to the characteristics of his forward assist, the South Korean team put the focus of the attack on his way, and even Zhao Pengyu became a left defensive midfielder, which is basically equivalent to a left fullback.
In the face of this situation, Qiu Suhui still did not move in the coach's seat, did not make substitutions, and did not stand up and shout a few times.
"Liu Peng once again pushed the South Korean team's cross out, and now the Chinese team is in some difficulty! The South Korean team returned to their tough nature and pressed the Chinese team back to the half! ”
"Indeed, Qiu Suhui can consider a substitution. Because in the face of the current situation, China is the most effective in playing defensive counterattacks. But now no one in the front of the Chinese team, except for Zhao Pengyu, has the necessary speed to counterattack. And Zhang Jun on the bench is an expert in counterattacking. ”
"But isn't it too early to make a change? It's only been 28 minutes into the first half. Wang Jianxiang raised a different opinion.
"No, if the time arises, you should seize it, whether it's in the first minute or the ninetieth minute." Li Bing said.
But no matter how lively the two talked in the studio, Qiu Suhui's ass was like being nailed to a chair. It was only thirty-five minutes into the game that he turned his head to Zhang Jun and Li Yongle beside him and said, "Go warm up until the end of the first half." ”
※※※
When Zhang Jun stood up, a camera on the sidelines immediately pointed at him, and it wanted to tell the audience watching TV: Zhang Jun is going to play!
Even the Korean TV commentator exclaimed, somewhat exaggeratedly, "Now the most expensive player in the stadium has finally stood up!" Qiu Suhui finally couldn't sit still in the face of the strong pressure of our Korean team! ”
"The most expensive player in the game", the name is really long.
Zhang Jun is now in the spotlight, with footage of his warm-up being broadcast between matches. In contrast, Li Yongle next to him seems to be unconcerned, although Li Yongle is 1.87 meters tall, reporters and audiences focus on Zhang Jun as if he didn't exist.
Perhaps stimulated by Jang Jun's imminent play, the South Korean team suddenly stepped up their attack. This time, it was South Korea's turn to launch an offensive like a tide.
"Republic of Korea! Republic of Korea! "The shouts of the Korean fans are like the wind driving the wave of attacks of the Korean team.
After destroying the South Korean team's attack with another unconventional move, Xiang Tao once again played his "big mouth specialty", and he shouted to his teammates: "Hold on!" Don't give them a chance! Goalkeeper Sima Hongxin is a taciturn person, and captain Liu Peng doesn't like to shout loudly often, so Xiang Tao naturally became a morale-boosting "tweeter" in the team.
The Chinese team finally held on in a very unfavorable situation, which may have something to do with the Syrian game, and they learned how to play in the face of adversity.
At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0. Although the two sides played fiercely in the first half, they did not score.
It was indeed a tough game for the away team, China.
※※※
Qiu Suhui looked at the players in front of him in the locker room, they gasped for breath and kept drinking water.
'We changed lines in the second half. When everyone was almost rested, he spoke. "The starting line-up in the first half gave the opposition a certain blow, but the South Korean team adjusted quickly. In the second half, Hu Bin went down, and Zhang Jun went up. Wang Liang is down, and Li Yongle is up. We went from 442 to 352 and played double midfield. I'm still the same sentence, offense. Attack when you get on the pitch and don't be afraid to concede the ball. Wang Yu, you are behind Li Yongle in the second half, pay attention to defense and protection. Li Yongle, in the second half, you were the offensive and defensive core of the Chinese team. Qiu Suhui drew a five-star in the middle of the court on the tactical board. His words surprised Li Yongle, but the others did not express any dissatisfaction or disagreement, and after months of contact, getting along day and night, they had already had a tacit understanding between each other. They're not the ones who squeezed each other out when they first joined the team. "When attacking, use long shots, shoot when you have the chance, don't hesitate. Park Ji-sung was their attacker, and he was the most eye-catching in the first half. Therefore, Lee Yongle, your defensive task is to freeze Park Ji-sung. When playing defensive counter-attacks, use long passes to send the ball to the feet of the two strikers. ”
Li Yongle nodded, he is finally going to represent the national Olympic team in the right and important competition. At the same time, it was also the first time he played with Zhang Jun as a teammate, and it felt really different.
And Zhang Jun patted Li Yongle with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" ”
※※※
At the beginning of the second half, people saw Zhang Jun, wearing the No. 11 jersey, standing in the center circle, opposite Li Jie, and the two were waiting for kickoff.
"We saw that Zhang Jun was replaced at the beginning of the second half, and he replaced Hu Bin, who had a mediocre performance in the first half."
"Well, the Chinese team has also changed people. Qiu Suhui replaced No. 2 right defender Wang Liang and replaced him with No. 15 Li Yongle...... Li Yongle is the back! ”
"Yes, the Chinese team changed formations, from 442 to 352. Because No. 3 Xiang Tao was originally an all-rounder who could be qualified for any position in the back, and now the three defenders are Liu Peng on the right, Li Suisheng in the middle, and Xiang Tao on the right. ”
"That's right! Well, well, the referee doctor's whistle, the second half begins! ”
※※※
Zhang Jun touched the ball for the first time and kicked the ball out, and then Li Jie passed the ball back to Wang Yu. Wang Yu did not hesitate, and directly knocked the ball to Li Yongle next to him, Li Yongle stopped the ball, looked up to find someone, and then slammed his legs and made a long pass!
Cho Peng-woo was fast on the left, while Lee Yong-lek's ball was also passed directly to the touchline, where South Korea's back three formation was a blind spot. Zhao Pengyu slapped the horse, he stopped the ball with his feet, and then passed the ball directly into the South Korean penalty area!
"Watch out for their number nine!" Goalkeeper Kim Young-gwang shouted. South Korea's No. 2 Cho Byung-ju jumped up to compete with Lee Kit, but neither of them touched the ball during physical contact.
And Zhang Jun, who was behind the two, just plugged in from behind, he jumped up, and under the close interference of the defender, a powerful lion shook his head!
"Zhang Jun attacked! Oh! It's too positive, it was saved by the goalkeeper, what a pity! ”
Jin Rongguang got up from the ground with palpitations, just now he subconsciously stretched out his arm after jumping up, and barely blocked Zhangjun's close header.
"As soon as Zhang Jun came on the field, he had a very threatening attack! He is the top scorer in the UEFA Cup! Even the Korean commentator sighed.
"Why didn't anyone go to see Zhang Jun? Want to kill yourself? Kim Young-gwang complained about his teammates in front of goal.
His teammates looked at each other as if to ask each other, "Why don't you go and see him?" Jin Rongguang saw that he didn't say anything, so he had to wave his hand helplessly: "Defend this corner!" ”
Everyone was impressed by Zhang Jun's performance, but few people saw how accurate and timely Li Yongle, as the initiator of the attack, was with his long passes.
Although the Chinese team is like a cloud, this corner kick was not sent directly into the penalty area, but played a tactical corner. Zheng Chuan hurriedly knocked the ball to Wang Yu, Wang Yu received the ball on the right side, he looked at the penalty area and made a move to cross, but the cross was just a false one, he saw Li Yongle reaching out for the ball.
"Watch out for his crosses! Look at Zhang Jun! Before the game, the South Korean team thought that as the number one star of the Chinese team, Zhang Jun would naturally become the core of the Chinese team, and all the balls would be passed to his feet and he would complete the shot. So Kim Ho-kun arranged the defense to close Jaang Jun locally, and didn't let him get the ball easily. Cao Bingju is now directing the players to complete the coach's tactical deployment.
Wang Yu swept the ball with his right foot and distributed the ball to the front of the penalty area, and Li Yongle received the ball.
"Watch out for his direct passes!" Cao Bingju immediately changed the instructions according to the situation, no matter how the content of the instructions changes, there is always one thing that will not change, that is, the core idea of these instructions: "Look at Zhang Jun!" ”
It's a pity that Kim Ho-kun doesn't have a video of Li Yongle's game, not in the National Olympic team, and not in the Universiade.
After Li Yongle got the ball, he remembered Qiu Suhui's request: "Use more long-range shots when attacking, and shoot when you have a chance, don't hesitate." ”
Now everyone on the other side is thinking that Zhang Jun will become the terminator of this attack, and they are all defending him and paying attention to him. There was a rare vacancy in front of him.
Shoot when you get the chance!
Li Yongle picks his foot and volleys!
The ball flew low and burrowed into the player-strewn penalty area!
No one stopped the ball, it flew straight into the far corner of the goal!
Jin Rongguang reacted quickly and flew towards the ball!
"He can get the ball!"
However, the football fell sharply in front of his hand and rebounded! The bouncing football drilled into the goal from Kim Rongguang's hand!
Li Yongle's best curling shot!
Zhang Jun was closest to the goalkeeper, he raised his hands and cheered, and then Li Jie also rushed to Li Yongle outside the penalty area. Li Yongle turned around and ran to the coach's seat, he wanted to thank Qiu Suhui for his courage and trust in recruiting him into the National Olympics and bringing him to South Korea.
"The ball is in! The Chinese team leads! The goal was scored by Li Yongle, who was selected for the National Olympics as a college student! A beautiful long shot! ”
"When he was recruited into the Olympic Games, almost no one was optimistic about him. But the first goal in the battle between China and South Korea turned out to be scored by him, and the ugly duckling turned into a swan! Qiu Suhui's vision is really powerful! ”
All suspicion and mistrust were shattered in this long-range shot.
Coming out of the coach's seat, Li Yongle waved his fist to the stands, and Zhang Jun came over and patted his buttocks: "You are the first to play before me!" ”
Li Yongle turned around and smiled at him, but didn't say anything. It can be seen that he is still immersed in the goal just now, it was the first goal he scored for China, and he will remember it for a lifetime.
※※※
"Just two minutes into the second half, the Chinese team opened the scoring in a surprising way! They took the lead with a long-range shot from No. 15 midfielder Li Yongle! How will the South Korean team respond? ”
Kim Ho-kun wasn't as nervous as the commentator, he just stood up and asked the players to press it out. He didn't know about the No. 15 of the Chinese team who scored the goal, thinking that it was just a dribbling balloon.
However, Park Ji-sung did not see it that way, because he found that his opponent was the number 15 who scored as soon as he was replaced in the second half.
As soon as Park Ji-sung received the ball, Lee Yongle posted it. Such intimate contact made Park Ji-sung uncomfortable, he desperately tried to get rid of the other party, but it had no effect, he turned around and just pushed the ball away a little, and a long leg stretched over and shoveled the ball away!
South Korea's number one star was guarded by a nobody!
After the break, the Chinese team quickly counterattacked, and Li Yongle stepped forward again. Liu Peng passed the ball to him, and he rushed forward with the ball alone!
Kim Ho-kun's contempt for Li Yongle will definitely make him suffer.
South Korea's midfielder No. 8 Kim Doo-hwan stepped forward to press, but as soon as he came up, Lee Yongle poked the ball out. Lin Feng knocked the ball with his heel again, Li Yongle quickly inserted it and poked the ball again! This time, I stabbed the 13th Kim Dongjin!
Two over two!
"Li Yongle is quite active! Is he going to shoot again? ”
It has indeed entered Li Yongle's range, Jin Rongguang became nervous, he didn't dare to make sure that the ball that suddenly fell just now was covered up, looking at the movement of his legs when shooting on the 15th, he should be able to guess that he did it on purpose.
"Push it up, don't let him shoot!"
However, after Li Yongle picked his foot, he did not hit the goal, but poked it again with his toes, and the football rolled into the penalty area from the side of the interceptor player!
"It's Zhang Jun!" The Korean commentator exclaimed.
That's right, it's Zhang Jun! He turned and rushed forward, then stopped the ball and raised his left foot to hit the goal!
"Toot!"
A quick whistle sounded, and the referee raised his arm, offside!
"Ahh It's offside! Zhang Jun crossed half a position at the moment of the 15th pass! It's tiny, but the linesman knows it! "The Korean commentator felt like he had escaped death. Indeed, if the Chinese team scores one more goal, China, which is leading 2:0, has a strong Zhang Jun, which will make the South Korean team unable to even fight back with all its might.
Jin Rongguang patted Cao Bingju, the captain who commanded the offside position, with some gratitude, just now it was he who pressed the back line in time and let Zhang Jun fall into the offside trap at the last moment.
Kim Ho-kun finally understood now, Zhang Jun's edge deceived everyone, even he thought that Zhang Jun would be the offensive core of the Chinese team, but he ignored this tall back, his excellent physical fitness and awareness, so that he is the real offensive and defensive core of the Chinese team, if not contained, the Korean team will be planted sooner or later.
"Coach Kim has finally made an adjustment! He replaced No. 8 Kim Doo-hwan with No. 16 Choi Dui Wook, Choi Doi Wook is a striker, and he replaced the midfielder with a striker, which seems to mean obviously, that is, to strengthen the attack! ”
It's not just about stepping up the offense. As soon as Choi Dui Wook came on the field, he shouted the names of Choi Won-kwan and Kim Jung-yong, and he made a gesture with his palms facing each other: "The coach asked you to clamp and grab the No. 15 of the Chinese team that was inserted in the back!" ”
The South Korean team changed the formation from 3412 to the more attacking 343, and launched another offensive against the Chinese team, but their offensive cannot be described as "tide" in any way.
Qiu Suhui knows that at South Korea's home stadium, the South Korean team will never accept defeat willingly, and will fight back when they fall behind. So when he was defending, he also asked Zhang Junding to be at the front and didn't have to come back to participate in the defense. Even if the opponent takes a corner kick or a free kick in front, he will arrange for three players to be on standby near the end of the field, ready to counterattack at any time.
In fact, he learned this from the Netherlands. The Dutch attack, defend and sweep the world? Why is it that when they get the ball, all 10 players can be on the offensive in just five or six seconds? This is because the Dutch counterattack does not start when they get the ball, in fact, their counterattack starts from the moment they lose the ball, every player is always ready to attack, once they get the ball, the ideological consensus will immediately transform into unity of action, counterattack like waves crashing on the shore, unstoppable. This tactic was later summarized by a football critic and journalist and named it "Reverse Movement Theory".
This is a very crucial theory, as it is an important tactic that connects the team's overall defense and offense.
What Qiu Suhui is trying to do now is to change the concept of Chinese players from all aspects, and instill in them the Dutch all-attacking and all-defensive transformation, which is just one of them.
In this tactical guiding ideology, Zhang Jun is like a nail, nailing the three defenders of the South Korean team firmly to their own backfield, and they dare not take half a step beyond Lei Chi.
※※※
Regarding Li Yongle's core question, the Chinese commentator also saw it. "Huh? No. 15 Li Yongle turned out to be the offensive and defensive core of the Chinese team! Zhang Jun is just a cover in front...... Well, with a college player as the core, Qiu Suhui's employment is really different from ordinary people. "It's really hard to say whether Wang Jianxiang is praising or sarcastic.
"But Li Yongle does have a level, which can be seen from his several shots. His long biography has also been told by reporters a long time ago, and it is surprisingly accurate. I don't think it's just accurate, he also has a good timing, when to make a long pass, when to pass horizontally, and when to pass back...... He has done it all with a clear eye. For a college player to be able to perform like this, Qiu Suhui seems to have put a lot of effort into it. It seems that he has been optimistic for a long time, that is, let him in as the core. ”
"Well, I also remembered that he once represented China in the Universiade held in Busan, South Korea last year, and in his team's game, he scored an ultra-long-range lob in the midfield. But I'm more interested in the story between him and Zhang Jun. Ho Ho, Yang Pan, Zhang Jun, Li Yongle, and now Liu Peng, the captain of the National Olympic Games, have all competed together. Luoyang, as a key football city in Henan, also entered decline with the decline of the economy after entering the 90s. Unexpectedly, at the end of the century, there was a blowout. The growth and rise of this group of players may break the monopoly of Dalian players. I think this will be a great thing for the future of Chinese football. ”
This is the case, and it is also something worth pondering. Why do Dalian and Luoyang have so many excellent players? Dalian has traditions, but what about Luoyang? Is it also inextricably related to their vigorous development of youth football in the past decade, especially student football? ”
"Well, while talking, the Chinese team has attacked the front court again! Now the ball has really been handed to Li Yongle's feet! Two players from the other side immediately pressed up! ”
Choi Won-kwon and Kim Jong-yong came forward and one after the other, one by one forced up, and Li Yongle was about to break in, but the two of them closed the door one by one and broke the ball. The South Korean team was ready to fight back again, but Wang Yu appeared in time to delay the Korean team's offensive, Li Yongle quickly turned around, and the two backs teamed up to force Kim Jong-yong to pass the ball back.
"Thank you." Li Yongle had time to thank Wang Yu who helped him.
"Don't thank me." Wang Yu looked closely ahead, "When you go up, I'll fill in the position." It's the coach's arrangement. ”
Li Yongle looked at this partner who was initially worried that he would steal his position, "If you have the opportunity, you can rush forward too." ”
"Stupid, who will defend me when I rush up?" Wang Yu turned his head, but he didn't see Li Yongle.
"I'll fill in your seat in the morning." Li Yongle said behind him, no wonder Wang Yu couldn't find Li Yongle just now, it turned out to be behind him.
"But...... This is not tactically requires......"
"Tactics are dead, people are alive." Li Yongle said with a smile.
"The Korean team suddenly passed through! The two backs of the Chinese team did not even react! Park Ji-sung seized this good opportunity to catch the ball and rush forward! The Korean commentator shouted.
Park Ji-sung finally no one was watching, and he was trying to give a guard and let the defenders of the Chinese team see the level of Dutch football. But he had barely taken two steps to the left when he saw a man crossing in front of him.
Park Ji-sung tried to force his way through, but as soon as the two made physical contact, he retreated. This guy's body is European level! He defined the other party in his mind.
Since you can't rely on your body, you need to rely on technology. Park Ji-sung has always been confident in his dribbling.
Park Ji-sung tried to deceive Xiang Tao, who was defending him, with a quick shake of his upper body, but Xiang Tao was unmoved. There is no way but to use the simplest smash to make a fuss. Park Ji-sung dunked the ball inward, and then flicked his left foot lightly, with a posture of cutting inside. Xiang Tao, who lacked experience, was really fooled, and he moved inward!
This is the moment! Park Ji-sung quickly dunked the ball with his left foot in the direction of the baseline, and then he accelerated!
"Breakthrough! Park Ji-sung made a successful breakthrough! The Korean commentator shouted excitedly. Since being targeted by Lee Yongle, Park Ji-sung has only made a handful of such a smooth breakthrough, not only himself depressed, but even the commentator was depressed.
But Xiang Tao turned around just as quickly, circled around from the inside, and chased after Park Ji-sung!
Park Ji-sung wanted to pass the ball to the goal before Xiang Tao pressed it again, but the ball was blocked by the fast-reaching leg when it flew away!
"It's Xiang Tao! He surprisingly blocked Park Ji-sung's cross, terrifying explosiveness! Wang Jianxiang was amazed by Xiang Tao's performance, "Beautiful attack and defense." ”
"Hey! Girl, the ceremony (Xiang Tao's nickname for Li Yongle, derived from the name of "Yongle Ceremony")! What are you two talking about? Xiang Tao jumped up from the ground and asked the two backs in the distance loudly, "Don't tell me you're glass!" ”
"!" The two backs replied in unison, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Peng said to Xiang Tao in the past: "If they want glass, it is also bulletproof glass...... Well done just now! He slapped Xiang Tao the back.
"Keep an eye on people! Push them outward! ”
"The corner kick is our chance, take it!" Li Yongle raised his arm, and everyone knew what he meant: the Chinese team's attack began at this time.
Zhang Jun and Li Jie roamed one after the other near the center circle, while Lin Feng was a little further back than them, but was involved in the defense. Similarly, the fast Zhao Pengyu did not defend in front of goal, he was arranged a little outside the penalty area. These four men are always ready to fight back.
The captain of the South Korean team, Cao Bingju, originally planned to go to the Chinese team to compete for the top, but he saw the strange personnel arrangement of the Chinese team, and wondered if the other party would play a quick counterattack, so he hesitated for a moment, or stayed behind, but called another central defender to go up, and at the same time he asked the three defensive midfielders to leave at least two people behind, beware of the Chinese team's rapid counterattack.
Park Ji-sung put the football in the corner arc and he will take the corner.
Tens of thousands of South Korean fans in attendance shouted again, hoping that the team would equalise from this corner, because there was not much time left for South Korea. But I don't know if they have checked the imperial calendar, today is not the zodiac auspicious of South Korea.
