Chapter 35 Pandering and Adjustment
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the fans at the scene and the reporters in the media table found that the playing style of the Chinese national team seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.
Their offense is still relatively smooth, but when they want to pass the ball into the penalty area with the last kick, the players of the Chinese national team make frequent mistakes.
"What's going on? There seem to be some problems with the attack of the Chinese national team, and their cooperation before hitting the opponent's penalty area is very tacit and smooth, but once the football reaches the Kuwait team's penalty area, the players of the Chinese national team seem to be unable to play. The commentators at the scene were also puzzled, this situation did not occur in the first half of the game.
Huaxia's commentator was quite experienced, and after carefully observing for a few minutes, he finally discovered the problem.
"It's Lin Qi, it's our god of war Lin Qi! The players of the Chinese national team seem to be trying their best to pass the football to Lin Qi's feet, but after all, Lin Qi and the Chinese national team have too little run-in, which is why there are so many mistakes. ”
Although Lin Qi has an excellent sense of grabbing points in the penalty area, he can't always think of going with the players who pass the ball to the Chinese national team. In the Kuwait team's penalty area, which is already full of defenders, Lin Qi's excellent sense of grabbing points does not have much room to play, he still has to form a good tacit understanding with his teammates. ”
The commentator's brows furrowed slightly, he finally knew why Lin Qi couldn't sit in the main position in the Chinese national team. Previously, the commentator had the same idea as the reporters and fans of Huaxia, that is, why such an outstanding player as the god of war Lin Qi always sat on the bench of the Huaxia national team.
Since Lin Qi joined the Chinese national team, his performance has not been bad at all, although he has not played much time, Lin Qi has almost reached the level of averaging one goal per game. Even in the warm-up match with the world champion French team, Lin Qi also scored a goal.
So why did Liu Yihai throw him on the bench?
The fans of Huaxia couldn't figure it out, and the commentator couldn't figure it out, but now he understood it very well, and the overall cooperation between Lin Qi and the Chinese national team was clearly and clearly presented in front of the fans.
In the previous game, due to the tactical play of the Chinese national team, no one player was the core. Therefore, the problem of cooperation between Lin Qi and his teammates was not able to appear, and Lin Qi also scored a lot of goals, which made fans ignore that Lin Qi was just a chick of the Chinese national team.
It was only now that fans remembered that Lin Qi only joined the Chinese national team more than a month ago, and he trained with the entire Chinese national team for less than 30 days.
Coordination requires mutual understanding. This is also the reason why the other players of the Chinese national team have a tacit understanding after only a few days of intensive training, because they know each other, and the tacit cooperation between them is relatively easy to establish.
In the Chinese national team, the only teammates who can understand Lin Qi are An Run and Chen Biao, and it is difficult for other players to establish a good cooperation with Lin Qi in a short period of time.
"Is Coach Liu's move to let Lin Qi understand his teammates, and also let his teammates get to know Lin Qi better?" The commentator at the scene couldn't help but exclaim when he thought of this.
"The old monster is going to have a special training for Lin Qi in the Chinese national team, this is really too extravagant, although the outcome of this game does not matter to the Chinese national team, but it is a group stage of the Asian Cup after all. The old monster actually trained Lin Qi in this game. The commentator was so shocked that he didn't even call Coach Liu anymore, and directly called him an old monster.
Liu Yihai's title of old monster. It's not a secret in the whole of China, not to mention the commentator who has been in Chinese football for many years, even the most ordinary fan knows the name of Liu Yihai's old monster.
As if to confirm the statement of the on-site commentator, the Chinese national team made substitution adjustments after he just exclaimed, Liu Yihai replaced two substitute midfielders with two main midfielders of the Chinese national team, and the interesting thing is that the two players who were replaced are defensive midfielders. The two players who were substituted were attacking midfielders.
This means that the total four midfielders on the field of the Chinese national team are all attacking, and even their positions have overlapped.
Those who don't know will definitely think that Liu Yihai is going to strengthen the attack of the Chinese national team, but after the commentator clearly pointed out Liu Yihai's purpose, Huaxia fans will not make this feeling.
They just felt that the god of war Lin Qi was treated well in the Chinese national team. sighed that Lin Qi, the god of war, had a high status in the mind of head coach Liu Yihai.
Even the most demanding God of War fans can't say anything about Liu Yihai at this time, although they were very dissatisfied with Liu Yihai putting Lin Qi on the bench before, but in this game, the Chinese national team's style of play and their two substitutions in the second half of the game are enough to prove how much Liu Yihai attaches importance to Lin Qi.
Why did Liu Yihai replace two defensive midfielders with two attacking midfielders? Is it just to intensify the offense?
The answer is not so simple at all, the first thing fans consider is such a question, if Lin Qi can play in the game, who are the players who have the most contact with him, and who are the players who directly cooperate with him?
It's these four attacking midfielders on the pitch!
Including two main offensive midfielders and two substitute defensive midfielders, plus an Run, that is, all the Chinese national team players who can directly cooperate with Lin Qi on the field, although other players can also play a certain cooperation with Lin Qi, but the contact between them is obviously not as much as Lin Qi and these offensive midfielders.
That's why Liu Yihai let them all stay on the field, and An Runzhi didn't appear because Liu Yihai knew that there was no problem with the cooperation between Lin Qi and An Run, and the problem was Lin Qi and the other offensive players of the Chinese national team.
Liu Yihai really worked hard to let Lin Qi's role come into play as soon as possible.
And Lin Qi has never disappointed those who believe in him, he has not disappointed Chen Song and Liu Bo before, and of course he will not disappoint Liu Yihai now.
Lin Qi knew from the halftime break that the head coach was honing himself, so Lin Qi was thinking more about how to break the opponent's goal on the field, but how to reduce the mistakes in cooperation with teammates.
With the joint efforts of Lin Qi and his teammates, they finally have a better understanding of each other's playing styles, and the passing errors in the penalty area of the Chinese national team continue to decrease, until the game is 75 minutes later, and the passes passed by teammates into the penalty area can almost accurately find Lin Qi.
At the same time, Lin Qi's main position on the field has undergone a big change, while his teammates cater to Lin Qi, Lin Qi is also adjusting himself to cater to his teammates.
The change in the main position of activity made Lin Qi very uncomfortable at first, and he tried to shoot a few shots, which were either high over the crossbar or off the baseline.
The on-site commentator's brows suddenly wrinkled: "It seems that after more than half an hour of running-in, Lin Qi and his teammates have a certain amount of cooperation, but Lin Qi is not too comfortable with his position change on the field, will he throw away his sharpest weapon when he learns to cater to his teammates?" ”
The narrator's worries are not unfounded, what is Lin Qi's most outstanding ability? It is to seize the opportunity, as long as the football is at his feet, Lin Qi can use his excellent scoring ability to help the team bring goals.
But look at Lin Qi on the field, he has tried almost five shots, but only one of them hit the goal frame, and he was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper because he hit too positive......
Five shots on goal but no goal, this may be normal for other players, but on the body of the god of war Lin Qi, it is the biggest abnormality, even the fans who have always regarded Lin Qi as the god of war can't help but worry about Lin Qi.
But for this problem, Liu Yihai is not worried at all, he knows very well how strong Lin Qi's shooting ability is, the reason why Lin Qi has five shots and no hits is mainly because he is not too used to it, and with Lin Qi's adaptability, Liu Yihai believes that before the end of this game, Lin Qi will be able to find his shooting state!
