"The game started, and the Osaka Gamba team, which was playing away in the first half...... kicked off first" As the commentator's voice came, the Osaka Gamba striker drove the ball out.

They played the ball to the back of the pitch and then launched a dangerous attack straight away, which ended with Keisuke Honda's shot over the crossbar on the edge of the penalty area.

Gamba Osaka showed no mercy at all, they didn't even bother to test it, and came up with a shot from Keisuke Honda that threatened the Izumi Castle goal.

As in the previous time against Izumi, Keisuke Honda was very positive, and this time he created the opportunity to hit the goal. In order to be able to participate in the final AFC Champions League group game against Izumi City, Keisuke Honda also postponed his own reporting to the Japanese youth team.

The Japanese youth team is also preparing for the World Junior Championships, and their head coach has made the same decision as Liu Bo, which is to approve it. He allowed Keisuke Honda to join the team after the match against Izumi.

In this regard, the opinions of the two national youth coaches are surprisingly unanimous. Not only do they want to beat each other in the youth team competition, but they are also unwilling to let go of any opportunity to hit their opponents!

Let's talk about this game. Gamba Osaka's attitude towards this game is indeed the same as that of the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League, but their tactical style of play is completely different.

If it is the AFC Champions League knockout round, Gamba Osaka will play a little more conservative because they will face a team of the same level as them, and any small mistake could lead to the elimination of the team.

The Springs team is different. In the eyes of the Osaka Gamba team, the Izumi City team will always be a weak team. Even if they kill Seoul FC twice. That can only mean that Seoul FC is useless, and it does not mean that the Quancheng team has the qualifications comparable to them.

So, not conservative, the game is attacking at the beginning!

The head coach of Gamba Osaka hopes that the sooner the game ends, the better the suspense, and he will not give the Izumi City team any chances, and he will not let the head coach of the Izumi City team have any luck.

After the first attack of the opening game, Gamba Osaka took advantage of the situation and continued to launch a fierce attack on the goal of the Izumi City team. They repeatedly played exquisite combinations on the periphery of the Spring City penalty area in an attempt to tear apart the Spring City defence.

Relatively speaking, the Quancheng team played a lot more conservatively. They only left one player in the frontcourt. The rest of the players all returned to their own half to participate in the defense.

The player who stayed in the front court was not Lin Qi, but Luo Ming!

The meaning of the Quancheng team is obvious, that is, they do not give up counterattacking when they are defending with all their might, and Luo Ming is fast. Now he's a winger again. Obviously more suitable than Lin Qi to stay in the front court.

The Springs team played solidly. In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Osaka Gamba team, the Izumi City team was not in a hurry or impatient, but had the demeanor of some strong teams.

The game was in full swing into the twentieth minute. Gamba Osaka didn't get too many chances again in those twenty minutes. However, Luo Ming launched three quick and effective counterattacks to the goal of the Osaka Gamba team in the front court, two of which formed a goal, but Luo Ming's shooting level is really flattering, a long shot, a single knife, Luo Ming failed to help the Quancheng team take the lead in the score.

In this 20-minute game, it looked like Gamba Osaka had a big advantage, and they suppressed Izumi City in their own half. However, in terms of the number of shots on goal, the Izumi City team completed twice, while the Osaka Gamba team only had the opening shot.

The solid defense of the Quancheng team played a key role, whether it was the fierce Chen Biao or the desperate Xu Zhen who was fighting for his life, it was a hurdle that the Osaka Gamba team had to break through.

The two midfielders once again showed their amazing defensive prowess!

was able to prevent the Osaka Gamba team from having a chance to shoot in the space of twenty minutes, which is also the credit of Shen Yue.

Shen Yue bluntly said that a team with good discipline like Gamba Osaka will not waste opportunities casually. When the chances are bad, they would rather re-organise the attack than risk losing the ball.

Chen Song seized this point and allowed the Osaka Gamba team to pass the ball for 20 minutes without a chance to shoot.

It's actually very simple to do, as long as the defenders don't rush out and don't get torn apart by the players of the Osaka Gamba team.

If you want to keep the ball, then you have the ball outside the penalty area, and we are not in a hurry to break the ball, anyway, we just don't give you a chance to hit the goal!

I have to say that Shen Yue's trick is poisonous enough! The Izumi City team set up their own defense line, almost arrogantly and unreasonably in front of the Osaka Gamba team.

It's just that there are big problems with this kind of defense. That is, if you don't grab it, you won't get the ball, and if you don't get the ball, you won't be able to organize an attack. You must know that in this game, the Izumi City team must win to advance to the round of 16, and even if it is a draw, they will be eliminated by the Osaka Gamba team.

If you want to win, how can you only defend and not attack?

In terms of offense, Shen Yue also has a move. Zhao Lin is Shen Yue's move to Chen Songzhi, in Shen Yue's opinion, it is too wasteful for such an outstanding player as Zhao Lin to only stay on the side and send long passes to Lin Qi.

It's entirely possible for him to move to the middle lane, so that he has more opportunities to perform. Although Zhao Lin's handling of the ball is not as constructive as Zhou Tao's, his long pass is accurate enough!

What if you can't pass it, can you still lose the ball with such an accurate long pass? If this is in other teams, long passes are indeed easier to be intercepted by opponents, but don't forget that there is also a Lin Qi in the Quancheng team!

Why did Lin Qi eat, his judgment of the landing point of the long pass and his header are simply a sharp weapon to receive Zhao Lin's long pass, can his header only be used to attack the goal? You can also use it to make balls.

Shen Yue used his years of coaching experience in Europe to open another door for Chen Song, a player does not have to be in a fixed position. When you consider their abilities, you will find that they may have a better option.

For example, the current style of play of the Spring City team, but for this game, it is indeed a better choice.

No matter how good the Osaka Gamba team is in possession of the ball, it is impossible not to make a single mistake. As long as they make a mistake in qualifying, the football will be passed to Zhao Lin's feet by the players of the Quancheng team.

Zhao Lin is optimistic about Lin Qi and Luo Ming's position first, if Luo Ming's position is good, then give the ball directly to Luo Ming, and if Luo Ming does not run out of space, then pass the ball to Lin Qi behind Luo Ming first, and Lin Qi will make the ball for Luo Ming.

This created Luo Ming's three counterattack opportunities!

In the past, the Quancheng team was Luo Ming, Lu Fei, and Zhao Lin who created opportunities for Lin Qi, but this time it was reversed, and it was Zhao Lin and Lin Qi who created opportunities for Luo Ming.

Luo Ming is at the forefront!

Of course, this is just the beginning. Because the opening offensive of the Osaka Gamba team was too fierce, the Izumi City team chose this way. When the offensive of the Osaka Gamba team slowed down a little, Lin Qi designated that he still had to go to the opponent's goal, because only Lin Qi could better grasp the opportunity to counterattack!

The game seemed to be moving in the direction of Izumi's favor, but the majority of the football was still at the feet of Gamba Osaka. Gamba Osaka's players will make mistakes, and Izumi City's players will naturally have the possibility of mistakes.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Gamba Osaka hit the ball to the side, and the full-back of the Izumi City team was not in a hurry to scramble, he bowed in front of the players of the Osaka Gamba team.

The obvious reason for this is that the ball can pass, but you can't go over!

Izumi Castle defended like this for the first 20 minutes of the game, but this time they missed someone, and a player from Gamba Osaka quickly connected to the baseline, but no one from Quan Castle followed him.

As soon as the Gamba Osaka player on the side saw the opportunity, he rubbed the ball near the baseline with the instep of his outside foot.

The Gamba Osaka player who received the ball near the baseline did not hesitate at all and passed directly back to the middle. The Springs defender was a step too slow to block his pass......

When Chen Song saw this scene, he suddenly stood up from his seat, and he would not forget what Shen Yue told him: A team like Gamba Osaka will not rashly try to attack if it does not have a great opportunity.

Then this time, they must be a great opportunity to attack like this!

Sure enough, Gamba Osaka sent the ball back to the middle, and their No. 10 captain calmly shot and hit the ball into the net of the Izumi City team!

The ball is in! 1:0！ Gamba Osaka takes the lead!

The Izumi Castle team still couldn't fully defend against the attack of the Osaka Gamba team.

Gamba Osaka, last year's Japanese J-League champion and the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, still used their sharp cooperation to tear apart the defense of the Izumi City team when facing the iron bucket defense of the Izumi City team.

Their second shot of the game went straight through the Spring City goal!

At this moment, Chen Song fell into an ice cellar. He had thought that the Quancheng team would fall behind temporarily, but he didn't expect to fall behind so quickly. The Izumi Castle team's defense seems to be impeccable, but there is always a possibility that it will be broken by the Osaka Gamba team.

It was just a simple run and Springs trailed by one goal. If Gamba Osaka makes a few more runs like this, will the Izumi City team really have no hope of advancing to the round of 16?

Conceding the ball so soon...... Will the players be able to get the game back on track as planned? (To be continued......)
