Chapter 246: Top of Asia (2)
The first shot on goal after the opening was done by the Chinese team. The www.biquge.info Chinese midfielder hoisted the ball to the defense area of Yasuyuki Konno, and Ji Ke pressed the opponent's header to attack the goal, and the ball was slightly off.
This goal is requested by Li Guo, shoot as much as possible after the opening game, and give the opponent a shot, because once the team under the leadership of the Italian coach has consolidated its defense, it will play more and more confidently, such as Italy in the semi-finals of the 2000 European Championship, which is really like a divine help.
And Kiko's header is really good, and there is only one tall player in the team's defense, so their air defense in the penalty area has always been a weakness.
Yasuyuki Konno looked at Kiko and thought, "Damn, it's so tall." ”
Before the game, Li Guo told Kiko that he avoided Maya Yoshida and focused on Yasuyuki Konno, and Kiko's first bullying of the opponent had a good effect.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Rui kicked again, or passed the ball to find Kiko in the penalty area, or pressed Yayuki Konno, Kiko grabbed the header again, but unfortunately the ball was hugged by goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji.
Once it was okay, twice in a row, which caught the attention of Zaccheroni, the short central defender has always been a problem for the Japanese team, although now there is a Maya Yoshida, but it can't solve the problem.
Zaccheroni immediately gestured and asked Makoto Hasebe to retreat to help defend the back, but if he can't compare to the height, then add one more person.
Two defenses and one, Ji Ke's advantage is not so big, Li Guo feels that it is a pity that he did not score, but the original intention is also to knock the Japanese team, just like the Korean team in the last game, as long as the attack is strengthened, there are still many problems in the defense line of the Japanese team.
*****
Hao Haidong in the stands laughed, he remembered the 1998 2-0 defeat of the Japanese team in Tokyo, when the Chinese team played the opponent, that is, the height of the opponent was not good, and Li Guo learned this trick.
In fact, now the Chinese team is not losing to the opponent in terms of technology, but since it has an advantage, why not use it?
However, as the Japanese team strengthened the control of the wings, the Chinese team's cross was not as easy as it was at the beginning, and the game reverted to the two sides fighting in the midfield.
Shinji Kagawa took the ball, and the forward midfielder who played for Dortmund was Li Guo's focus before the game to arrange players who needed to defend.
Kagawa is characterized by his agility, like a loach, drilling up front, and his greatest strength is a precise pass, and at Dortmund, Kagawa always gets the ball into the right place.
Fang Suo went up to defend Kagawa Shinji closely, Fang Suo's defense was very aggressive, and he hit it the first contact.
But Shinji Kagawa, who has been trained in the Bundesliga, has obviously adapted to the rough style of play, and after being hit by Fang Suo, Shinji Kagawa just stumbled under his feet and passed the ball to Keisuke Honda.
After the latter took the ball, he faced Geng Chong and wanted to make a fancy pass, but Geng Chong shoveled the ball away, Keisuke Honda was very dissatisfied, and said to Geng Chong, he felt that Geng Chong's tackle was too rough and deliberate, and Geng Chong didn't even look at him at all.
*****
Take the ball, dribble, get broken.
The final seems to be really as boring as the two managers predicted, this is not a matter of strength, but the choice of the two teams, it seems to be a tacit understanding, after all, after 5 games, the consumption of both sides is very large, and the temptation is a must.
The Japanese team is afraid of the height and fast attack of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team is also afraid of the ground cooperation of the Japanese team.
Li Guo was a person who couldn't sit still, although the court was calm in the first half, Li Guo still stood up and walked to the side of the court.
"Don't worry, hold on,"
Now the Chinese team has become accustomed to the attack of chopping melons and vegetables in Asia, and it is rare for the game to go to 10 minutes without scoring, so the players will inevitably be a little uncomfortable.
The ball was given to the metronome of the Chinese team - Zheng Zhi's feet, and the defense of the Japanese team was also rough, Makoto Hasebe kicked Zheng Zhi's ankle with the first kick, Zheng Zhi could fall down and ask for a free kick, but the free kick in the midfield was useless.
Zheng Zhi endured the pain and gave the ball to Lin Zhijian on the right, facing Yuto Nagatomo, Lin Zhijian did not have any advantage in speed.
Nagatomo Yudu is simply Wu Dalang's figure, but this is not belittlement, but he does have a strong ability to chase back on the side, and what makes Lin Zhijian even more uncomfortable is that Nagatomo Yudu raised his hand and pushed it to Lin Zhijian's waist, which made Lin Zhijian feel very painful.
After the 30-meter sprint, Lin Zhijian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and with a push of his hand, Nagatomo Yu fell down, and the referee blew Lin Zhijian's foul.
This can be regarded as unexpected, Lin Zhijian has never encountered such a short full-back in Germany, but this has become an advantage for the other side.
"It might be better if Qu Bo was replaced over there," Li Guo thought to himself, but it was obvious that it was impossible for Li Guo to change at this time.
At this time, the camera of the scene was given to the bench of the Chinese team, first swept Qu Bo, and then Pu Shuang, as if he was protesting - why not the two of them, especially Pu Shuang, after the game, even the locals in Doha liked him very much, and the young man's skills were as fancy as Ronaldo when he first debuted, which was very good for fans who didn't understand the ball.
The camera finally slapped Li Guo, as if to say: "Idiot, replace it with Pu Shuang." ”
Li Guo looked at the big screen and knew that he was filming himself, so he quickly straightened his clothes, and then continued to watch the game with a serious face.
*****
Li Guo glanced at it and saw Shinji Okazaki, Li Guo knew that he would play for Leicester City later, in fact, to be honest, Shinji Okazaki was a mediocre player, but he worked very hard, and he was like running a marathon on the pitch, sparing no physical strength.
For example, now, because of the passivity of the Japanese team, Shinji Okazaki actually returned to the midfield from the forward line to get the ball, if there is a model worker award in the Asian Cup, it must be Shinji Okazaki.
Yin Di was very hesitant, he was defending Shinji Okazaki, but the opponent returned to the midfield, so to follow or not?
But Maeda Ryoichi ran over to dispel Yin Di's concerns, and Yin Di didn't follow. But soon, Shinji Okazaki ran to the Chinese team's penalty area after taking the ball, and the most feared thing on the court was not to play cards according to the routine, such as Zhou Dun's defeat of Australia in the last game.
Shinji Okazaki was on the forward line all at once, ran to the midfield all at once, was on the left all at once, and was on the right all at once.
Li Guo remembered that when Ranieri later commented on Shinji Okazaki, he said that he was very diligent. When he ran towards the Chinese team, Yin Di's attention was all on Maeda Liaoichi, and at this time, Zhou Dun shouted, "Pay attention to the front!" ”
Yin Di was stunned, Shinji Okazaki had already crossed him, and the anxious Li Guo scolded "idiot". (To be continued.) )
