Section 149 Forward Transformation
"The game is still really bad......"
When he returned to Tokyo after the match against Adelaide United, Ko Shunyao sat in the multimedia room and watched his first game as the leading scorer, and only said this after a long time.
The game against Adelaide United was lost, and it was a pretty miserable loss. Even if he went to reminisce about this game, Gao Shunyao could see that the situation would be so miserable when he played as the team's main scorer for the first time.
It has been half a month since Kabore was injured, and in the past half a month, Tokyo's two league games have suffered defeats. After a series of defeats, Tokyo couldn't take it anymore and finally adjusted their squad ahead of this AFC Champions League match.
Tokyo's lineup was adjusted to a 451 formation, Gao Shunyao as a single arrow, set at the front, and behind him, there were three fronts horizontally, Ishikawa Naohiro was still the core of the right road, and on the left side, Hanyu Naogang was replaced, and Kensuke Nagai was placed in this position. In the middle of them, it is Hiroshi Kiyotake who plays the front midfield, and the backfield remains unchanged, so Tokyo's new formation is formed.
Unlike in the past, when there was Kabore, Tokyo mainly relied on Kabore as the main offensive method, after the adjustment, Tokyo obviously focused on Gao Shunyao. Among their substitute strikers, Kenyu Nagai's shooting skills are not as good as Gao Shunyao's, and even his running position is inferior. And Tatsu Suzuki is also an iron bench, and the level difference is not half a star. Therefore, Gao Shunyao is a single arrow, and there is no way out.
However, Gao Shunyao's archery skills were not good after all. Tokyo understands this very well. So, they also changed their lineup for this. Left above. They ditched Naotsushi Hanyu, who had a better offensive ability, and replaced it with a less skilled. But Kenyu Nagai, who has a good ability to run and counter-rob, just hopes that he can give full play to his strengths, take on Gao Shunyao's previous work in this position, share the pressure for the offensive players, and let Gao Shunyao have a way to run better. Moreover, he is active in counter-attacking on the left side, which can also allow Yuto Nagatomo behind him to fully display his offensive talent and participate more in the attack.
And in the front court, another change. It was Tokyo that used a forward waist Kiyotake Hiroji. Tokyo used to be counter-attacking because they had two strikers and they didn't have a midfielder. But now that he has replaced Gao Shunyao, who has a slightly worse running position, as a single striker, he naturally needs more threatening balls, and in addition to his passing ability, Kiyotake Hongji also has a certain ability to insert and shoot. The high striker's header back to midfield is a tactic that has been carried forward by Chelsea and is no longer a new tactic.
Cheng Fu Hao in a short period of time. The adjustment of the team has been quite successful. There are only so many cards on hand that can be played, and a lineup can be arranged to give full play to one qiē again. It's already pretty good. The only problem is that there is little confidence in this new formation, from him to the players.
Sitting in front of the game video, Gao Shunyao remembered that the coach talked to him before the game.
Consecutive failures. The coach reworked the training plan and the first one to talk to him was. Assign new tasks. As soon as the coach's new task was announced, Gao Shunyao was surprised at that time.
"Let me take care of the shooting mission? Can I do this task? ”
Hear about this task. Gao Shunyao was also quite surprised at the time: although he himself had dreamed many times that one day he could have the skillful shooting skills of Kabore, be able to kill in the front court, and even score in every game. However, he himself has a few pounds and a few taels, and he still knows very well. His own technique is not good enough, his archery skills are not good enough, and he himself understands it. Isn't it too nonsense to say that you are the main scorer when you stop the ball?
His question, Cheng Fuhao just glanced at him, "Do we have any other choice now?" ”
This question made Gao Shunyao speechless. Although Gao Shunyao admits that he is not the material of a shooter, he knows very well that his teammates are even inferior to him. Kensuke Nagai has just joined the team, and Tatsushi Suzuki is also a bench player, so it's impossible to count on them. Even if the team is really chasing ducks to the shelves, he can do it.
However, can such a thing really work? Gao Shunyao has a big question about this.
And things turned out to be as Gao Shunyao expected, when facing Adelaide United away, Tokyo really played a mess.
Adelaide United won the Australian Super League last season, and the team includes several marginal Australian internationals and is one of the best in the group. In the two group games that have ended, they have won two games and two wins, and the points have reached 6 points, ranking first in the group. Although this group is known as the group of death, maybe they still have the possibility of qualifying early. In particular, their physical advantage is very obvious, against Tokyo, they are also determined to win, want to kill Tokyo in two rounds, and get enough points to advance early.
Their courage comes from their strength. In this game, from the very beginning of the game, Adelaide United completely had the upper hand. Their bodies are far more robust than the Japanese players, and their running ability and confrontation ability are not at the same level at all. Moreover, the style of play of the Australian Super League team is far more brutal than that of the Japanese team. This style of play also made Tokyo suffer greatly.
In the AFC Champions League, Japanese teams generally have a technical advantage over other teams, even if they are not as good as their body, they can turn the situation around by relying on technology. Against the South Korean team, although they were slow to conquer the opponent's goal, at least they had the advantage of possession in the situation. But in the face of the Australian Super League team, this is no longer owned. The pace of the Australian Super League team is too fast, and under the high confrontation, Tokyo itself is not stable, and the pass is not good, no matter how good the technical advantage is, it is in vain.
The overall trend of the game, from the very beginning, was not in favor of Tokyo. The technical advantage could not be brought into play, and the body was at a disadvantage, which made it extremely difficult for Tokyo to play. What's even more depressing is that Tokyo, as a new AFC Champions League team, is the first time to play in Australia. After a long trip. Their form is not very good, which exacerbates their disadvantage.
And. The change of lineup in Tokyo in this game also seems to be a little incorrect: the Tokyo team. Even the entire J League, because of the backward concept, still highly respected the 442 formation in the game, although the 451 formation is not uninvolved, but it is far less proficient in using than 442. Originally, they were facing a strong opponent and changing their lineup before the game, and Tokyo was not playing as usual, and the whole team couldn't play its usual state.
The enemy is too strong, and his teammates are also playing very average. Such a situation of friend and foe made Tokyo almost completely suppressed. In the game, Gao Shunyao's performance was also an extremely bad one. From running to shooting, he wasn't able to play his role as a goalscorer.
When he was running in the front court, he still didn't grasp his current role, and when he was running, sometimes he was too hesitant to get the ball from time to time and wanted to see the position of his teammates. And some times. When Gao Shunyao was running, he encroached on the running space of Kenyu Nagai and Hiroshi Kiyotake. Gao Shunyao himself is the first time to work as a shooter, and his running position is not smart, and the lineup is temporarily adjusted. It also allowed two teammates who had newly joined the team to cooperate with him, which further increased the difficulty of cooperation. Under the double pressure, Gao Shunyao ran a mess at all.
And outside of the run. He didn't do a good job of shooting with the ball. The Australian Super League team has a strong physique, which also has a great influence on Gao Shunyao. Although he is not yet enough to defeat the confrontation. But under the confrontation, his possession of the ball was also affected. If usually his task is only auxiliary. The impact is not too big, but this time, his task is to shoot, and the small impact is enough to make the shot miss, and the problem of his lack of skill is completely exposed.
It's almost impossible to play like this and still win. Facing Adelaide United's third round of the AFC Champions League, the first game with Gao Shunyao as the core, Tokyo lost the game again. A 2-0 win in Tokyo's second away game was also unwinning, and at the same time turned their goal difference into a negative one.
Losing the game was already a big blow, and after returning to the team after the loss, the coach forced them to watch the game video, which made Gao Shunyao extremely uncomfortable. It's not a good feeling to see how you lose and how you are bullied. Looking at the embarrassing situation of kicking the shooter for the first time this week, Gao Shunyao can only sigh.
"I'm just now understanding how much pressure Kabore had to bear when he played in the past, and it was really difficult for him to get a salary of 100 million yen."
Watching the game, Gao Shunyao could only think about his mistakes in running position, and sighed that it was not easy for his teammates.
"If you can't stand it, you can take your time."
Regarding Gao Shunyao's sigh, Cheng Fuhao could only say this to him. He also knows that Gao Shunyao is under a lot of pressure now, and when he watches the game, he will also enlighten him, but although enlightenment is enlightenment, the game still has to be taken care of.
Fortunately, Gao Shunyao also knows the meaning of watching the game. Although it is very unpleasant to watch such a video, in the final analysis, Gao Shunyao is also very clear that he must watch it. There is no better option for the team, he has to be the team's main striker, and to be the main scorer, he has to learn how to run and shoot as much as possible.
This is something you must do, and you can't refuse it.
Moreover, although the learning process is indeed difficult, Gao Shunyao also knows that this is not an opportunity.
In the previous games, if you didn't score so many shots in one game, you would have to be scolded when you returned to the team. And this time, after the loss, the team did not criticize him, but just asked him to continue to study hard. Gao Shunyao quickly understood that the team was allowing him to shoot and give him enough opportunities to try to shoot. Such an opportunity is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you grasp it, you may really usher in a transformation.
I can't refuse such an opportunity.
The team needs it, and you need it, so of course you can't miss this opportunity. Although it is difficult, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you insist on doing it, you will definitely have a chance to complete it. (To be continued......)
