Section 160 Detachment Tactics
On the football field, after the game began, Tokyo's attack never stopped. Playing at home, they know the importance of this game. On the field, Gao Shunyao, who was constantly running, was also extremely eager to win this game, for her, only playing six AFC Champions League games was far from enough, and he wanted to go further.
However, what made Gao Shunyao a little helpless was that the opponent they met was Pohang Steelers, and it was also Pohang Steelers with a point advantage in hand and dedicated to defense. When a South Korean team is obsessed with defending, the Japanese team's offense is simply not able to break down their defense.
In the midfield, the South Koreans' strikers are very far behind, and their recycling has given the South Korean midfield more room to move, always putting pressure on the Tokyo players. The South Koreans are already strong in defense, and when they do so, they cause a lot of trouble for Tokyo.
What's more, they do more than that.
In one attack, when Ko Soon-yo just got the ball, the South Korean player had already pounced from behind. Gao Shunyao held the ball and opened his arms to block his grab, but he suddenly pushed Gao Shunyao to the ground.
"It's like this again......" Listening to the referee's whistle, not to mention Gao Shunyao, Kitazawa Hao, who was commentating the game, also sighed, Pohang Steelers was playing like this throughout the game, as long as Tokyo had a chance, they either fouled or disrupted the rhythm. Tokyo's attack was cut into a mess by Pohang Steelers, and they couldn't play an effective game at all.
When a team just wants to defend, they can always do a lot of frustration. They don't need to fight back, they don't have offensive requirements. Naturally, the game can be torn apart, and that's for them anyway. It doesn't hurt either.
Moreover, the South Korean team does this kind of thing. It is also far better than the Japanese team: the J-League is an open league, the penalty scale has always been strict, and the J-League players are relatively inexperienced when it comes to fouls. However, the K-League is different, they are a highly confrontational, fast-paced league in their own right, and they are experienced in fouls and how not to foul them. They are much more familiar than Tokyo.
"Pohang Steelers have a lot of experience, they are aggressive and aggressive defensively. By constantly cutting the rhythm of the game and disrupting Tokyo's passing, they left Tokyo with no time to organize a decent attack, and if this continues, Tokyo has no chance at all. ”
Watching the game, Shoji Jojo made a judgment. Pohang Steelers' style of play can be said to be difficult to see. But this kind of kick really works.
Just in front of the goal, the Pohang Steelers players simply came out of the wall with five people. They don't care that their team is so crowded. There was no one to think about fighting back, and for them, holding on to a win was what they wanted to do.
"In this world. There are always some teams, as long as he doesn't want to win. Then you can't lose. When you meet them, you have to win. This situation is very difficult to deal with. ”
Kitazawa Hao also sighed, evaluating the situation on the field. It's just that although he can see what the situation is on the field, what should he do to break the game? But he didn't know.
That's not his responsibility, it's the players' responsibility. As far as the current situation is concerned, this can also be regarded as Gao Shunyao's responsibility.
Looking at this state, Gao Shunyao could only shake his head. There is nothing wrong with what he is worried about, although the J League games are usually very mild, but in some important games, the opponent cannot still not foul, compared to blaming the opponent for fouls, sometimes it is more important to try to think about how to break the game.
Fortunately, Shimizu's defense in the last game can also be regarded as giving himself experience. He looked back at his teammates, Naohiro Ishikawa and Hirotsugu Kiyotake were standing in front of the free-kick, looking at the wall at the edge of the penalty area, and quietly discussing how to kick the ball. Gao Shunyao believes that they will understand what to do to help the team.
In fragmented games, the significance of set-pieces also rises in the feed.
"So far this season, Tokyo haven't scored a single free-kick goal. As a defensive counter-attacking team, negligence in set-pieces is a big shortcoming for Tokyo. They have a good header like Ko Soon-yao and a good passer like Naohiro Ishikawa, and their set-pieces could have been stronger......"
Shoji Jojo is talking about the situation in Tokyo, although he has some accusations, but he still has a certain feeling: What can be the reason why Tokyo is not good at scoring from set-pieces? The simplest reason is simply a thought to know. Cheng Fuhao is a young coach, as a young coach, there is not enough research on set-piece tactics, and the details are not enough, so naturally there is no good set-piece attack.
It's a shame. Set-piece attack was originally the most likely to score a goal in a football game when the opposite side was on guard. Encountering a turtle style of play like Pohang Steelers, Tokyo should be able to play a big role if they have good enough set-piece tactics at this time, but they are still lacking in this regard.
Set-piece attack is a university question, not something that anyone can play well - watching the players in Tokyo start running, Shoji Joji said something in his heart.
Tokyo's free kick looked a little simpler. Naohiro Ishikawa and Hiroshi Kiyotake ran together, Naohiro Ishikawa stepped over the ball, and then, Hiroshi Kiyotake rubbed the ball up, it seems, his intention to pass the ball, the Tokyo players seemed to know, when he kicked the ball into the penalty area, Kensuke Nagai and Ko Shunyao began to run. His pass was a bit too high and, surprisingly, it didn't seem to be going towards the goal behind the wall.
The ball didn't hit the goal, but went around a big bend and down the left flank. Tokyo did not choose to score directly, but relied on set-piece tactics to break the current situation!
Pohang Steelers had a very tight defense in front of the goal, but the Korean players who were supposed to be there to watch the defense were suddenly inserted by Kenwoo Nagai and ran forward. His movement made behind him. There was a big gap.
And on this gap, Gao Shunyao is quickly plugging in.
POSCO's human wall has not yet been dissolved. At this time, Gao Shunyao's sudden plug was not intercepted at all. Relying on the running of his teammates, Gao Shunyao successfully seized a loophole. Tokyo's ability to cooperate is indeed improving, and Kensuke Nagai and Gao Shunyao, who will collide with each other in the previous games, can now not only pass and cooperate with each other, but even know how to run back and forth to create opportunities for each other.
"Opportunity...... Gao Shunyao! ”
Seeing the player's insertion, Shoji Jojo's tone also rose. With a sense of euphoria. And right now. His voice suddenly rose a lot, and the original joy was all transformed into amazement.
The football fell, Gao Shunyao also jumped forward suddenly, just a little in the penalty area, his whole person seemed to have a spring on his legs, and suddenly picked it forward. Instead of stopping the ball and shooting, he was in mid-air. Standing near the penalty line, he made a very sudden leap to the top and hit the ball towards the far post!
This position is definitely not a good position for headers. The position is almost above the edge of the penalty area. Very far from the goal. Moreover, because it was a free kick, the goalkeeper was also on guard. Gao Shunyao did not choose to stop the ball and shoot again, but directly hit the goal. This decision was a bit hasty.
If it is said that Kiyotake Hiroshi's pass, it is already unexpected. Then this direct knock on the door is simply dumbfounded. Tokyo's attack was so swift, a long pass, followed immediately by a header, which was really unimaginable.
However, it was also a seemingly sloppy attack, but it had an unexpected effect. Not only did the commentator not expect Gao Shunyao to suddenly hit the goal, but even the goalkeeper of Pohang Steelers did not expect Gao Shunyao to hit the goal like this.
Gao Shunyao's approach was unexpected by him, and the speed at which Gao Shunyao jumped up and the angle at which he pitched the ball were just as unpleasant. The sudden shot caught him off guard, and he ran two steps towards the far post, hurriedly sticking out his gloves to hook the ball out. However, the angle of the football was more tricky than he imagined, and Gao Shunyao's header seemed to drill into the top corner of the goal with a small arc.
Compared with the technique at his feet, Gao Shunyao's header is the top attack. This kind of attack is more suitable for him than any other style of play. Pohang Steelers can disrupt Ko Soon-yao's rhythm at other times, but when it comes to heading, they can't affect Ko Soon-yao at all!
Gao Shunyao is not a smart person, he solves problems on the spot, he doesn't have that brain. However, he was never a lazy person. If you encounter a problem, you don't think about it when you go back, and let him save it, it's impossible. The experience given by Qing Shui Heartbeat is enough once, and with this time, Gao Shunyao knows what to do when he encounters a similar opponent.
Discussed with his teammates, weakened the part of passing and control, and strengthened the direct attack - on the field, Gao Shunyao couldn't react immediately, but he wouldn't stay in this one of the problems of the last game.
The goalkeeper fell heavily to the ground, but he still couldn't hook the ball. The moment his face was stuck in the grass, the roaring around him made him unable to look up at all, and he knew that the ball must have gone in.
"The ball is in! 18 minutes into the game, Tokyo scored a goal! Ko Soon-yao scored an incredible header on the sideline of the penalty area, and Tokyo broke through the door of Pohang Steelers with the attacking method that Pohang Steelers is best at! ”
Looking at the goal, Shoji Castle was also yelling. With this goal, Tokyo's score will surpass that of Pohang Steelers in front of them. In the final round, the score was reversed, knocking out last season's defending champion and advancing to the final, which made the fans enthusiastic and ecstatic.
Looking at Gao Shunyao, who was still running wildly to celebrate on the field, he suddenly understood something: What if Cheng Fuhao didn't know how to set the ball tactics? With Gao Shunyao here, this in itself is beyond tactics.
One goal was enough to give Tokyo the initiative, and now, it was Pohang Steelers that had to attack. This is Tokyo's home stadium, and in this land, Tokyo has a big advantage, and now Pohang Steelers must attack, so the strength of the game will also be reversed. (To be continued......)
