Chapter 210: Chain Reaction
Chen Song, who had made the final decision, suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and he felt that he had made the most correct decision!
The biggest shortcoming of the double back is the imbalance between attack and defense, under the defensive organization of the two defensive backs, the defensive system of the Spring City team can be described as solid, but this also directly leads to their offensive shortcomings.
Unless the Quancheng team can send one more man on the field, otherwise they will never seem to be able to solve the problem, and the two-back formation will never really be used by the Quancheng team.
But don't forget, the Quancheng team still has Lin Qi!
As long as Lin Qi exists, the Quancheng team will definitely not lack goals. Even in a double-back formation, even if the offensive strength of the Quancheng team is obviously insufficient, Lin Qi will definitely find a way to break the opponent's goal!
The most important reason why the Quancheng team failed to test the double back in the 34th and 35th rounds of the Chinese League should not be the instability of the double back formation, but that Lin Qi has not yet exerted his power in the double back formation!
Chen Song can see in those two games that the players have implemented his arrangement, but why can't they threaten the opponent's goal?
The reason still has to be found from Lin Qi. As we all know, Lin Qi is just an excellent scorer now, and he can only rely on his teammates to create opportunities for him, so that he can seize the opportunity and penetrate the opponent's goal in one fell swoop. However, under the formation of double backs, the teammates of the Quancheng team could not create too many opportunities for Lin Qi at all, and at this time, Lin Qi needed to create opportunities by himself.
Can Lin Qi create opportunities on his own?
Yes! Although the opportunities he himself created were few and few. But he can also create opportunities on his own! This can be best proved in the final between the Chinese youth team and the Spanish youth team at the World Youth Championships.
In that game, Lin Qi had created opportunities for himself to break the opponent's goal more than once.
Although Lin Qi lacked such a magical performance after returning to the Quancheng team, Chen Song was still willing to believe in Lin Qi, and he believed that Lin Qi could create another miracle in this game!
And once Lin Qi creates a miracle, the double-back formation of the Quancheng team can truly achieve a balance between offense and defense!
Chen Song figured this out, and his strong confidence in Lin Qi expanded into a strong confidence in the Quancheng team as a whole, and Chen Song believed that the Quancheng team would be able to successfully eliminate the opponent and advance to the final of the AFC Champions League.
Chen Song is also a big gamble, he is betting on whether Lin Qi can play at a super level in this game. For such a gamble. Chen Song believes that he can achieve the ultimate victory. Because Lin Qi's desire for the finals and the desire for the championship can simply exceed his imagination.
In order to step on the stage of the finals, in order to be able to win the final championship, Lin Qi must do his best!
※※※
With a confidence that may be difficult for others to understand. Chen Song announced the squad for the Quancheng team for this game and their starting list in the afternoon of the same day.
Among them, the names Chen Biao and Xu Zhen appeared in the starting list of the Quancheng team at the same time. This means that the Quancheng team still adopts a double-back formation in this game!
Chen Song's starting list caused an uproar among reporters at the scene. Among these reporters, there are some reporters who have vowed that it is impossible for the Springs team to use a two-back formation.
These reporters witnessed the failure of Quancheng's two-back formation in the 34th and 35th rounds of the Chinese League, and they also witnessed Zhao Lin's debut in the Super Cup.
Not to their surprise. Zhao Lin did sit on the bench of the Quancheng team in this game, and was replaced by Luo Ming.
But since the faster Luo Ming and Lu Fei appeared together, why didn't the Quancheng team simply use their traditional formation to play defensive counterattacks?
Although the Puhe Ruby team is more afraid of the double-back formation of the Quancheng team, the double-back formation of the Quancheng team is still very unstable. Why did Chen Song take such a risk in this game, and where did he get the confidence to make the Quancheng team directly adopt a double-back formation in this game?
The media couldn't figure this out, but it was obviously not the time for Chen Song to solve their doubts. It is impossible for Chen Song to reveal too much about the tactics of the Quancheng team in this game, and it is even more impossible for him to tell reporters that he is also making a big gamble.
Although fans and reporters couldn't figure out why Chen Song suddenly sent a double-back formation again, Chen Song's starting list still triggered a series of reactions.
Among them, the bookmaker reacted the fastest, and they lowered the odds of the Quancheng team again, posing as a very optimistic about the Quancheng team.
The media response has not been slow either, with Asian journalists split into two factions. One faction believes that Izumi:0's double-back formation is the nemesis of Japanese teams including Gamba Osaka and Kamagawa Ruby, and they will definitely be able to eliminate Karukawa Ruby with their double-back formation and successfully reach the final of the AFC Champions League.
On the other hand, the Springs' two-back formation is still very unstable, and as long as the Puhe Ruby team plays conservatively in this game, the Springs team is likely to find a way to break their goal.
Although the double-back formation of the Quancheng team can effectively limit the attack of the Puhe Ruby team, the Puhe Ruby team can also use a relatively conservative approach to limit the attack of the Quancheng team, after all, the double-back formation of the Quancheng team is not too strong and offensive.
The media of this faction feel that the biggest possibility of this game is to be played 0:0, and the final aggregate score is 2:1, and the Puhe Ruby team will advance to the final of the AFC Champions League.
The media on both sides disagreed, and they engaged in heated discussions with less than three hours left before the start of the match.
The controversy in the media has attracted a lot of attention for the semi-finals between Quancheng and Puhe Rubys, and when the second leg of the AFC Champions League semi-finals is about to begin, the popularity of this semi-final between Quancheng and Puhe Ruby is no less than that of Qilu and Jeonbuk Hyundai.
The tactical changes of the Quancheng team have made this AFC Champions League semi-final full of uncertainties, and fans are also curious to know who will have the last laugh between the Quancheng team and the Puhe Ruby team, and who will finally step on the AFC Champions League finals!
With the outcome of this game becoming more and more confusing, most of the foreign fans involved in betting put their bets on the Puhe Rubys.
The fans involved in the betting are still relatively simple, they have no professional analysis, and can only feel from the debate in the media that the game is generally a five-to-five situation. Since it is a five-five open, then of course they will bet on the Puhe Ruby team with higher odds, after all, everyone wants to be able to make a little more.
As a result, Puhe Ruby has become the team with the most bets among the top four teams in the AFC Champions League, and it has to be said that the fans involved in betting are really unprincipled, they don't have a team they support, as long as they can make them make more money, they will support whom.
Not only is it impossible for them to make a lot of money, but they are often bankrupt......
Due to the large number of fans involved in betting, the broadcast of the match between Quancheng and Puhe Ruby actually received higher ratings than the other game of Qilu and Jeonbuk Hyundai when the two semi-finals started at the same time.
This is something that the media did not expect, and it seems that sometimes the charm of money is indeed greater than the charm of football, which is why during the World Cup, there will be countless fake fans who pop up.
Instead of calling them fans, Lin Qi feels that he should call them "money fans", they are not for football at all, they are for money......
Of course, regardless of the fans' intentions, the second leg semi-final between Springs and Puhe Rubies did receive more attention, and the performances of the players of both teams were invariably seen by fans throughout Asia.
As the media said, the Puhe Ruby team has adopted a more conservative style of play from the beginning in the face of the double-back tactics of the Quancheng team, and it is difficult for them to break the goal of the Quancheng team under the double-back formation of the Quancheng team anyway, so it is better to defend it directly to the end!
The Puhe Rubies are fully qualified to play conservatively, and they are still one goal ahead of the Quancheng team, as long as they don't let the opponent break their goal in this game, it will be the biggest win for the Puhe Rubies.
After the start of the game, the Quancheng team faced such a shrunken turtle-like Puhe Ruby. The Puhe Rubies did not have the momentum of the first leg between the two teams, and although they also got a lot of attacking opportunities from the Quancheng team, their players rarely attacked the front court.
Such a conservative style of play made the players of the Spring City team feel awkward, especially the backcourt players of the Spring City team, and they even had the feeling of doing nothing on the field.
However, Chen Song has made a special explanation to the players before the game, that is, no matter how awkward it is in the game, the tactical concept of double back formation must be implemented.
The defenders of the Spring City team must not let up any slack because of the opponent's lack of attack, and they must ensure that their goals are safe for the 90 minutes of play! (To be continued......)
