Chapter 101, Rapid Change
"Okay, rub it 100 times", Qu Jing simply cocked Erlang's legs to make Li Hang's massage more comfortable, but he didn't expect Li Hang to squeeze his hand hard, making him jump up immediately after screaming.
The closeness of these young people also brought a smile on Fu Bo's face, and the more harmonious the atmosphere in the locker room, the more tacit the cooperation of the players on the field, and everyone should be awkward and awkward, and the performance after playing is estimated to be not much better.
He began by praising the players' performance in the first half and cautioning them not to be proud and complacent. Then, after briefly summarizing the situation in the first half, he put forward the requirements for the second half: Syria, which had already lost to the Iranian team, will definitely fight back in the second half, and the frontcourt players must pay attention to pressing on the spot to share the pressure on the backline, and then seize the gap they have pressed to play a quality counterattack.
Xu Xin and Xie Pengfei, who were in charge of the two wings, were specially told by Fu Bo to pay attention to the use of the width of the field, and Xu Xin's breakthrough in the first half made the Syrian players' defense focus on the left side, and Xie Pengfei did not appear on the right side in time to respond, missing the opportunity to seize the opponent's omission.
In the dressing room in Syria, Alfagir also developed a new tactic, given that after losing this game will be completely out, so the second half must go all out, but it does not mean to give up the defense, except for the two central defenders Almidani and Shemali to create offside, he asked the fast Busmar to prevent the opposition forward from attacking at the back.
He deliberately emphasized that Almavas, who was limited in the first half, should pay more attention to running, and at the same time asked Kalfa to actively respond to Hribin, and the opponent's layered defense needs to use more attack points to disperse, although it is very difficult, but it is still necessary to enter the opponent's penalty area as much as possible, seize the opportunity of the opponent's mistakes or chaotic battles, and strive to reverse the unfavorable situation.
Before taking the field, Alfagir's eyes swept over the faces of the players, and he said movingly: "I don't think you want to go home so disgraced, our country is going through hardships, and there is nothing we can do about it." Football is our life, defending honor is our mission, and don't forget, we are the runners-up of the West Asia Cup! Falling behind for the time being is nothing, we have the ability and the chance to equalise and win at the end, come on, boys! Think of the people of the Motherland, who are waiting for the news of your victory! ”
Because they had to go home after losing the game, the Syrian players who were stimulated by Alfagir at half-time showed extraordinary aggression at the start of the second half. With the exception of Almidani, Shemali and Busmar, the rest of the players almost made it through the half, running and attacking at every opportunity.
Almanwas, who has always been imprisoned by Li Hang, is also like a stimulant, he changed his sad face in the first half, and began to run frequently to ask for the ball and pass the ball, even if Li Hang still used his physical advantage to try to stop him, but Almanvas did not complain, just actively used every opportunity to touch the ball, and passed to the feet of teammates in threatening positions as much as possible.
There's no point in complaining, except to bring yourself bad moods.
Isn't the opposing player also under pressure from his teammates, so don't they play?
Almavas felt a wake-up call from Qu Jing, and he found that Qu Jing did not have a trace of impatience throughout the game, even if Mido and Karfa also harassed him like a stalker, but the No. 13 player of the Chinese team focused on the ball from beginning to end, not only sorting out the team's offensive organization well, but also showing conscientiousness on the defensive end.
They are also the core of the team's organization, why can't they be like him?
It should be said that the strength of the Chinese team is on par with the Syrian team, except for the Qu Jing that has been polished in La Liga, which is better in strength, the strength of other players is probably in the middle of the match.
A player's performance on the pitch depends on two things, one is attitude and the other is awareness, and once a player like Almavas, who is technically outstanding among his peers, "opens up", or is stimulated, his performance is noticeably different from the first half.
Since you can't have a tough physical confrontation with Li Hang, let yourself pass and receive the ball smarter.
At this point, Li Hang, who was relatively rough in technique, suffered a little, he did not quickly realize Almanvas's transformation, and when Almanwas, who calmed down, began to use possession to constantly change the rhythm, Li Hang's defensive advantage against him was also gone.
The same happened with the Chinese backline.
The reason for the success of the first half of the defense against the Syrian team is that the Syrian players did not invest enough troops, in addition to Almawas, Kribin and Nakdali, the two midfielders like Middo and Karfa focused more on the key defense of the Qujing, and Xu Xin's sharp breakthrough limited the Syrian team's right-back Jviad did not dare to step forward boldly to assist.
But the situation is different now. Syria's insane seven players pressed through the half, and the attack was not a swarm, but it was very clear. This put a lot of defensive pressure on the Chinese team, so much so that Xu Xin, Xie Pengfei and Wang Qiuming also began to return to their own half to defend together.
"Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind", seeing that the Syrian team gradually played with momentum, Qu Jing suddenly had such a sentence in his head. This manifestation of Syria was expected by him. Originally, the overall strength of the two teams is about the same, and neither side will have an overwhelming advantage, in this situation of mutual offense and defense, it depends on whose attack is more quality and whose counterattack is sharper.
So he decided to play as concise a counter-attack as possible.
After another assault from Syria, right-back Yang Kuo passed the ball to Qujing's feet, Mido and Karfa certainly knew how dangerous Qujing could be, and they quickly switched from attacking rhythm to defensive mode, rushing forward and backward to cover Qujing.
Before receiving the ball, Qu Jing had already seen the position of Zhang Ning and Xu Xin in the front, and the three defenders who were dragging back in Syria learned the lesson of conceding in the first half, and a simple and rough long pass obviously could not penetrate the opponent's defense. And Xie Pengfei was still in his own half under the assistance of defense just now, although there was a gap on the right side, but it was obviously not the best choice to use the speed he was not good at to run on the right side.
The best way is to hand the ball to Xu Xin, let him symbolically involve the opposing defender, either plug it to Zhang Ning, or transfer the ball to the right side, and then use the equal opportunity under the quick counterattack to catch Syria off guard - if Xie Pengfei and Wang Qiuming in the middle are aware of this opportunity.
But Xie Pengfei and Wang Qiuming's minds obviously did not have the picture of the concept of the Qujing at the same time, Wang Qiuming did not move, Xie Pengfei actually pulled to the sideline and prepared to respond to the Qujing!
"I'm X, you pick up a hair, but run forward", seeing Xie Pengfei's movement route, Qu Jing instantly appeared with a haze that was thicker than the imperial capital, and in desperation, he still passed the ball to Wang Qiuming before Mido and Kalfa arrived......
