Chapter 142: Respective Arrangements
The Japanese media's public support for Spain's youth team turned into a torn war between the Japanese and South Korean media.
The media in other countries never reported on this matter again, especially the Chinese media, who did not join in the crusade against the Japanese media from the beginning, but worked diligently to build momentum for the final of the Chinese youth team.
I have to say that the Chinese media did it very correctly this time, and if they also went to crusade against the Japanese media, it would only disturb the morale of the entire Chinese youth team.
Instead of arguing with the Japanese media, it is better to increase support for the Chinese youth team. And the Chinese media also feel that it is their freedom for the Japanese media to support no matter which team they support, even if they don't support the Chinese Youth Team, will the Chinese Youth Team not be able to win the final championship because of this?
The Japanese media don't have that much ability, they just made a different voice when the Chinese youth team was looking forward to it.
The Chinese media tolerated their voices, and there is no need to say much about the contradictions between Chinese football and Japanese football, and all Chinese fans understand it.
In the eyes of Chinese fans, the Japanese media's approach is actually still a matter of course, and if they openly support the Chinese youth team, it will be a ghost.
The Japanese media's remarks did not have any impact on the Chinese media, let alone the preparation of the Chinese youth team and the Spanish youth team.
The Spanish youth team, which was greatly injured in his heart, was silently gritting his teeth. I hope to make the Chinese youth team look good in the final and let the media around the world look good!
The overtures of the Japanese media did not attract the attention of Spanish football and the Spanish media, and with the final game just around the corner, how could they have time to pay attention to what the Japanese were thinking?
And even if the Japanese media supports the Spanish youth team, in the eyes of Spanish fans, the Japanese media is only due to their contradictions with Chinese football.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the reason why the Japanese media will support the Spanish youth team is just because they don't want the Chinese youth team to win the final championship.
But such a friend is not needed by the Spanish media. Both Japanese football and the Japanese media have very limited international influence, and their approach has not only not made the Spanish media feel good about them, but has the same as other European media. I feel that the Japanese media is sensationalizing.
Spanish fans have little affection for the public support of the Japanese media. However, the players of the Spanish youth team felt a little humiliated. They have the same idea as the fans, that is, the Japanese media will support them because of the conflict with Chinese football.
This made the players of the Spanish youth team feel a sense of humiliation, is their quality so unbearable, is their players so unbearable. Even a little Japan dares to come and ridicule them.
Okay. The turmoil caused by the Japanese media was seen as a mockery by the players of the Spanish youth team......
The Spanish youth team because of this turmoil. I will only be more active and serious in preparing for the final finals.
The Spanish youth team not only watched the video of the Chinese youth team at the World Youth Championships, but even the performance of the Chinese youth team in last year's Asian Youth Championship and the warm-up match also appeared in the office of the Spanish youth team head coach.
The Spanish youth team carefully studied their opponents in the final, and Lin Qi was rightfully regarded by the Spanish youth team as the most dangerous player in their goal.
The managers of other teams and those media reporters. It is very likely that it will be difficult to find Lin Qi's excellence in just one or two games. The main reason why Lin Qi can be recognized by everyone now is because of the accumulation of all his previous competitions.
Lin Qi is now one of those geniuses who is not obvious enough to be a player, and it is difficult for fans to find him excellent in one or two games, and it is only as the game progresses, as Lin Qi's goals increase, that he can really be regarded as a talented center forward.
However, this did not happen to the Spanish youth team, and in the first game of the Chinese youth team that the Spanish youth team watched together, their head coach and players saw his genius in Lin Qi.
This is not only because of the non-obvious empathy of the same genius, but also because what this Spanish youth team wants most is a center forward like Lin Qi.
The head coach of the Spanish youth team has a love for talent, and he has made no secret of his affection for Lin Qi as a player when he emphasizes the threat of Lin Qi to the players.
The coach, who is not too old, even often thinks: if Gabri and Pablo can also have the talent of Lin Qi, then even if the Chinese youth team defeats the Brazilian youth team, it will not cause too much trouble for the Spanish youth team in the final.
The Spanish youth team looks impeccable, but their head coach knows that the centre-forward is their biggest shortcoming.
In their previous six World Youth Championship matches, Spain's youth team had scored just eight goals in total, winning almost every game by one goal.
This is obviously not directly proportional to their possession and the number of shots they have on goal!
All in all, Spain's youth team lacked strikers who could deliver the lethal blows, with only three of their eight goals coming from strikers, with the other five coming from midfielders.
It's no wonder that fans think that the Spanish youth team didn't shoot the ball into the opponent's goal, but passed it into the opponent's goal......
The head coach of the Spanish youth team really wants to have a player like Lin Qi into their squad, and if the Spanish youth team has Lin Qi before the start of the World Youth Championships, the head coach is even confident that they can at least triple their total goals in previous games.
In other words, in six games, the Spanish youth team will be able to score at least sixteen goals! You must know that the Spanish youth team is better at creating chances than the Chinese youth team, and they don't score many goals. It's just that there is a lack of centre-forwards who can take their chances.
It's a pity that Lin Qi is not only not in their Spanish youth team, but in their final opponent Huaxia youth team.
With a player like Lin Qi as an opponent, the head coach of the Spanish youth team has an unusual headache. It is true that the Spanish youth team will have a comprehensive advantage on the field against the Chinese youth team, but with Lin Qi as a player, not to mention that the Chinese youth team does not have many opportunities to attack, even if they only have one opportunity to attack, it is very likely to rewrite the score on the field.
No matter how strong the Spanish youth team is, it is impossible not to give the Chinese youth team a chance to attack.
The offensive efficiency of the Chinese youth team is too high, while the offensive efficiency of the Spanish youth team is too low. Their ten attacks may only be able to achieve the effect of one attack by the Chinese youth team.
This suddenly narrowed the gap in the overall strength of the two teams. The head coach of the Spanish youth team who had absolute confidence. After seeing Lin Qi's excellence, I couldn't help but worry about the championship road of the Spanish youth team.
But he did not completely lose confidence because the Chinese youth team had Lin Qi, in his opinion, Lin Qi is indeed very good. But Lin Qi also has Lin Qi's shortcomings.
After watching all the game videos of the Chinese youth team. After watching a few more games of the Spring City team. The head coach of the Spanish youth team finally discovered Lin Qi's shortcomings.
That's speed! Lin Qi's speed!
Lin Qi's speed has improved a lot compared to the first half of this year, but that is not enough, on the court. Lin Qi remains one of the slowest players.
He can explode in a short period of time when he grabs points, but it is impossible to maintain such a speed!
The existence of such a shortcoming made the head coach of the Spanish youth team find a way to deal with Lin Qi as easily as Shen Yue.
But his method is still very different from Shen Yue, his method of dealing with Lin Qi is more active, he does not want to use fast players to grab some good players to target Lin Qi, but through the overall cooperation of the whole team, Lin Qi does not get too good opportunities.
In this regard, the head coach of the Spanish youth team has extremely strong confidence. This Spanish youth team played Tiki-Taka tactics. What is the best feature of the Tiki-Taka tactic? Ball control! It's ball control!
Although the Spanish youth team's Tiki-Taka tactics are not mature, they are more than enough to deal with all the teams in the World Youth Championships, even the strong Brazilian youth team, which cannot take advantage of possession in the match against the Spanish youth team.
The Spanish youth team can keep the football firmly at their feet, and their attacking efficiency may not be too high, but it is difficult for the opponent to even snatch the opportunity to attack from their feet, and it is clear which is stronger and weaker.
The head coach of the Spanish youth team decided to play a little more aggressively in this final, and he demanded that his players have at least 60% possession in this game!
Sixty per cent, this figure does not seem too big, that is, it is only a 10 per cent increase on the basis of half, but don't forget that the increase in this 10 per cent possession in the Spanish youth team also reduces the possession of the Chinese youth team by 10 per cent.
As a result, the two teams can have a 20% difference in possession!
This kind of possession is actually quite terrifying, and it is very likely that he will not allow the Chinese youth team to get any decent offensive opportunities.
And the purpose of such a strict requirement of the head coach of the Spanish youth team is here, and he does not intend to give the Chinese youth team any decent offensive opportunities.
Do you want to attack? Yes! Pick up the rest, pick up the opportunities that the Spanish youth team didn't take.
What is the meaning of picking up the leftovers, to put it bluntly, it is a quick counterattack, when your Chinese youth team faces the Spanish youth team, you can only get the opportunity to attack quickly counterattack, and you want to organize the attack little by little, it is impossible. Lin Qi is too much of a threat in this organized attack, and the Spanish youth team will never allow them to have such an attacking opportunity.
And the quick counterattack, the threat to the goal of the Spanish youth team can be greatly reduced, mainly because Lin Qi is too slow.
In the process of a quick counterattack, Lin Qi's speed severely limited him, making it difficult for him to participate. Without Lin Qi's participation, can the Chinese youth team's offense still be a point threat?
The Chinese youth team is not short of players who are suitable for playing fast counterattacks, such as Lin Heng and Luo Ming. The speed is very fast, but they don't have Lin Qi's shooting ability of Batty's GOAL.
The Spanish youth team can even indulge the two of them on a quick counter-attack, and as long as there is a goalkeeper at the back, they are not afraid of the two men putting the ball into their goal.
This is the confidence of the manager of the Spanish youth team, who has confidence not only in his team's tactical system, but also in their goalkeeper Casillas!
Yes, the goalkeeper of the Spanish youth team is Casillas, although Casillas is not as brilliant as Howard of the American youth team in this World Youth Championships, but his quality is absolutely undoubted!
The most crucial reason why Casillas failed to shine in the previous games was that the Spanish youth team as a whole was too strong. They suppress each other in every game. Casillas didn't have much chance to perform at all......
The tactical arrangement of the Spanish youth team is really very bold, and the average team does not dare to completely press up and attack, for fear of giving the opponent a chance to counterattack, but the Spanish youth team has done the opposite. Only give the Chinese youth team a chance to play a quick counterattack!
After thinking of such a tactical arrangement. The head coach of the Spanish youth team was still excited. He felt that the tactical arrangement he had figured out was simply the nemesis of the Chinese youth team!
Such a tactic may seem bold, but it is actually the most effective arrangement for the Chinese youth team. Understand Lin Qi's threat. With the confidence of Casillas, the Spanish youth team completely let go in the final!
"I'm really a genius, who said that the Spanish youth team has no talent, their head coach is the most obvious genius......" The head coach of the Spanish youth team was smug, he would be so excited not only because he had found a way to deal with the Chinese youth team, but also because he had a sense of superiority deep in his heart.
The head coach of other teams can't think of such a way when facing the Chinese youth team, and even if they do, they don't have the courage to implement it, but the head coach of his Spanish youth team does, how can this not make him feel superior and excited?
After deciding on the tactical arrangements for the final, the Spanish youth team officially started their preparation training for this purpose. Outside their training grounds, however, there were hardly any journalists from other countries, except for a few Chinese and Spanish journalists.
Journalists from other countries prefer to watch the preparation training of the Chinese youth team, because in the training of the Chinese youth team, they can see the shocking Barty GOAL, and they can see the individual performance of various players.
In comparison, the training of the Spanish youth team is as boring as their games, there are no wonderful individual performances, and the players are constantly practicing passing and controlling the ball.
Such boring training is obviously not as interesting as the training of the Chinese youth team, but unfortunately, the preparation training of the Chinese youth team is not open to the public. They only give reporters one to two hours a day to watch the players train, while the rest of the time, the preparation of the Chinese youth team is semi-closed.
The Chinese youth team obviously didn't want reporters to see what they really planned for the final, which meant they had a secret weapon......
※※※
The semi-closed training was actually requested by Lin Qi to Liu Bo, and Liu Bo accepted Lin Qi's request and then exchanged for the opportunity to train secretly through the operation of the leader of the Huaxia Youth Team.
Lin Qi will make such a request, because of his selfishness, not only does he not want reporters to see the real preparation arrangements of the Huaxia Youth Team, but also because he is going to carry out the training of chasing the wind in the next few days!
How to make the training of chasing the wind more effective is a question that Lin Qi has been thinking about since the semi-finals.
He soon had the answer in his mind, just like Barty's training is constantly practicing shooting and Klinsmann's training is constantly practicing heading, of course, chasing the wind boy's training must also continue to practice the speed of chasing the wind with the ball.
Of course, the best way to train your speed with the ball is to constantly play fast counter-attacks. So Lin Qi made another request to head coach Liu Bo.
He hopes that the Chinese youth team can train for quick counter-attacks.
Liu Bo easily agreed to Lin Qi's request, but he couldn't refuse because of Lin Qi's reason, and when Lin Qi made this request, Liu Bo was actually thinking about this matter.
The two of them coincide!
Liu Bo will also have his considerations, just as the Spanish youth team is constantly deepening its understanding of the Chinese youth team, the Chinese youth team will of course try their best to analyze the Spanish youth team.
The biggest impression that the youth team of Spain brought to Liu Bo is that they are good at controlling the football at their feet, look at their possession rate in every game, such a terrifying data is simply madness, and it is simply not a chance for the opponent to attack.
In the face of such a terrifying possession rate of the Spanish youth team, the best way Liu Bo could think of was to counterattack quickly.
However, the Chinese youth team is not skilled in rapid counterattacks, nor is it good at them, so Liu Bo himself also wants to train the rhythm of rapid counterattacks.
Liu Bo's routine of the rapid counterattack of the Huaxia Youth Team was the same as that designed by Chen Song for the Quancheng team, so he didn't believe that Lin Qi alone could take on the responsibility of a quick counterattack.
Lin Qi's speed is well known, and Liu Bo is of course well aware of this, so his arrangement is to let Lin Heng and Luo Ming take on more responsibility for defending and counterattacking, while Lin Qi is still only responsible for completing the final blow.
In such a defensive counterattack tactic, Lin Qi does not need to participate in the team's defense, he can still stay in the opponent's backfield, and the only thing he has to do is to prevent himself from being in an offside position.
Liu Bo arranged for Lin Qi like this, but Lin Qi had his own ideas...... (To be continued......)
