Chapter 208: The Essence of the Double Back Waist
Zhao Lin's appearance changed the tactical system of the Quancheng team in the Super Cup, and they obviously can't play too conservatively. The Quancheng team took the initiative to press out and attack, and played an offensive battle with the opponent.
The semi-final opponent of the Quancheng Super Cup is Hangzhou West Lake, who are currently only 13th in the standings of the Chinese League, but they have managed to reach the semi-finals of the Super Cup.
Hangzhou West Lake, like Guangzhou Yangcheng, regards the Super Cup as their home stadium every year, and it is also a regular in the quarterfinals of the Super Cup. In the case that the Qilu team and the Shanghai Shencheng team were eliminated early this season, the Hangzhou West Lake team broke into the top four of the Super Cup!
In the semi-finals, they faced the Springs team with a broken lineup, and it was even more impossible to choose a conservative strategy, and their attack was even more fierce than the Springs team.
Without Xu Zhen in the backfield, the Quancheng team's backline is full of holes, but these Quancheng team's second substitutes have played very hard, and they have helped the Quancheng team advance to the semi-finals of the Super Cup with their own strength.
This is a great honor for every player on the field of the Spring City team, who has rarely played in the Chinese League, and finally found their value in the Spring City team.
At this time, they must not be satisfied with just reaching the last four of the Super Cup, they want the championship, and the purpose of their participation is to win the championship.
Don't say that this is impossible at all, as long as the Quancheng team and Lin Qi are present, then everything is possible. Lin Qi is the source of confidence for the second substitute players of the Spring City team!
Lin Qi's performance in this game was also quite good, and he penetrated the goal of the Hangzhou West Lake team twice in a row with the help of Zhao Lin. It's a pity. The Springs side were not very solid at the back, and they were conceded four goals in the space of 90 minutes.
With a final score of 2:4, the Springs team lost the first leg of the Super Cup semifinals.
The Quancheng players, who represented the team in this game, were disappointed with the scoreline, and they tried their best, but in the end they could not get a satisfactory victory.
The Hangzhou West Lake team can enter the top four of the Super Cup, and they must also have good strength, and they still play relatively easily in the face of the "second-tier team" of the Quancheng team.
The suspense of the Super Cup semi-finals was left for the next leg of the game, don't look at the Hangzhou West Lake team has a 4:2 lead over the Quancheng team, but the possibility of them advancing to the final is not too big.
You must know that they defeated only the Quancheng team led by Lin Qi with a group of second substitute players. This is if the Springs suddenly play their main force in the next round. Even with a score of 4:0, the Hangzhou West Lake team did not dare to say that they could enter the final of the Super Cup.
The strength of the Quancheng team is still too strong, at least compared with the Hangzhou West Lake team, the strength of the Quancheng team is too strong......
※※※
The Super Cup match did not attract much attention from fans and the media. In fact. Except for the final of the Super Cup. The rest of the Super Cup matches have received little attention.
The schedule of the Chinese League is too intensive, and the Chinese media can't report on the Chinese League alone. How can there be a page to cover the Super Bowl game?
What's more, this season, the media in China is definitely not just reporting on the Chinese League, they also have a more important task - the AFC Champions League.
The Quancheng team and the Qilu team entered the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League at the same time, which is a historical achievement for Chinese football, and the Qilu team is very hopeful of winning the final championship, which attracted all the attention of the media.
The day after the Super Cup, the scores of the two semi-finals were only reported in the major newspapers and media, and nothing else was reported. Even if the starting lineup of the Spring City team was analyzed, they were also from the perspective of preparing for the AFC Champions League.
Compared to the AFC Champions League, Asia's top competition, the Chinese Super Cup is too insignificant.
After the Super Cup semi-finals of this leg, Quancheng and Qilu will usher in their second leg of the AFC Champions League semi-finals.
The Quancheng team hosts Puhe Ruby!
Qilu team challenges Jeonbuk Hyundai team away!
Similar to the situation in the first leg of the semi-finals, the match between Qilu and Jeonbuk Hyundai attracted more eyeballs. Compared with the semi-finals of the Quancheng team and the Puhe Ruby team, the semi-finals of the Qilu team and the Jeonbuk Hyundai team are more intense and exciting.
In the first leg, the Qilu team narrowly defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai with a score of 3:2 at home. The Qilu team led by one goal in the score, while Jeonbuk Hyundai team had two away goals in hand.
Which of the two teams will eventually advance to the final of the AFC Champions League will depend on how the two teams perform in the second leg. Between these two teams, fans are more optimistic about Jeonbuk Hyundai team, Jeonbuk Hyundai occupies a 60% chance of advancing to the finals, while Qilu team has only a 40% chance.
Don't look at the Springs team in the lead, but they don't really have the advantage. The dominant team is Jeonbuk Hyundai, this round of the game was originally the home of Jeonbuk Hyundai team, with the advantage of home, Jeonbuk Hyundai team's performance will definitely be better in the first leg.
From the beginning of the game, they will definitely launch a fierce impact on the goal of the Quancheng team without any scruples, and the Qilu team cannot be passively defensive, they only have a one-goal lead, Shen Yue does not dare to guarantee that the Qilu team can hold on for 90 minutes, so that their team will not be broken by the opponent.
Compared with the offense, the defense of the Qilu team is relatively weak, and Shen Yue does not dare to play any defensive counterattack, what he has to do is also to launch the most fierce attack on the opponent's goal.
The key is to see who of these two teams can score first, and who will score first will take the lead in the game. For this, the media and fans are more optimistic about the Jeonbuk Hyundai team, which is the main reason why most fans will think that the Jeonbuk Hyundai team can eliminate the Qilu team.
As long as the Jeonbuk Hyundai team can take the lead in breaking the goal of the Qilu team, then the Qilu team will be in danger. Jeonbuk Hyundai have two away goals in their hands, each of which they score. The Qilu team had to use two goals to return the ......
The situation of the match between the Quancheng team and the Puhe Ruby team is similar to this game, the only difference is that the Quancheng team has a better chance of advancing to the final than the Jeonbuk Hyundai team.
In the first leg, Quancheng lost 1:2 away to Puhe Ruby. Although they lost the game, they had an away goal.
This away goal is worth more than Jeonbuk Hyundai's two away goals!
Because the Springs team is better at defense!
Although the Quancheng team cannot be called the strongest defensive team in the top four of the AFC Champions League, it is almost the same, at least to deal with the Puhe Ruby team, the defensive system of the Quancheng team is enough.
They could well afford to let the Puhe Rubies go away from their home stadium, while Quan City only needed to score one goal to secure their ticket to the Malaysian National Stadium.
In terms of the offensive ability of the Quancheng team, with a nuclear bomb player like Lin Qi, they have to score a goal in Puhe Ruby on their home field. It's not too hard......
The Quancheng team had a 70% chance of winning. However, after two rounds of the Chinese League, their chances of winning are only 50%, mainly because the Quancheng team can deal with the Puhe Ruby team's tactics - the double back formation is extremely unstable.
In the 34th and 35th rounds of the Chinese League, the Quancheng team tried the double back formation twice. The results were without exception. The Quancheng team under the double back formation is seriously unbalanced in attack and defense. Their defence was unusually solid, while their offense looked weak.
Everyone has a different understanding of this situation. Chen Song has been hesitating. He didn't know whether he should send the traditional "three-core" formation or the double-back formation of the Quancheng team after welcoming the Puhe Ruby team at home.
If it is a traditional "three-core" formation, the Quancheng team is not without the possibility of successfully defeating the opponent, but under the three-core tactical system, the defense of the Quancheng team is not so solid.
There is a good chance that their goal will be penetrated by their opponents in the space of 90 minutes, and if they are scored by their opponents, it would be better to say that if they let their opponents score two goals, then the Quancheng team will need to score at least four goals to qualify for the final!
By that time, the Quancheng team would have almost completely missed the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League......
If the Quancheng team adopts a double-back formation in this game, then their defensive designation can make the Puhe Ruby team unable to find any chance to threaten the goal of the Quancheng team, but the play of the double-back formation is too unstable, in case of the offensive and defensive imbalance in the Chinese League again, it will be difficult for the Quancheng team to break the goal of the Puhe Ruby team.
In the end, the score of the two teams could only be 0:0, and the total score of the Quancheng team was 1:2, and they still couldn't escape the fate of being eliminated.
Chen Song's hair turned gray during this time, and he couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Overall, Chen Song has no confidence in this game, and once he loses confidence, the victory of the Quancheng team becomes more and more impossible.
Chen Song's bad mood did not escape the eyes of the players of the Quancheng team, let alone Lin Qi's eyes. Lin Qi seemed to ignore everything other than training and winning the game, but in fact, he also had a pair of relatively keen eyes, and he could see Chen Song's hesitation at a glance.
In this regard, Lin Qi also has his own thoughts.
Compared with Chen Song, Lin Qi's idea was much simpler. Lin Qi felt that there was only one reason why the Quancheng team did not have the confidence to win the Puhe Ruby team at home, and that was that he was not strong enough!
He didn't think too much about the question of what tactical formation the Quancheng team should use, and in his opinion, it all boiled down to his own lack of strength.
If he is strong enough, the Springs team doesn't have to worry about that at all. In this game, regardless of whether the Quancheng team is in a three-core formation or a double-back formation, as long as he Lin Qi is strong enough, the Quancheng team can successfully qualify for the finals.
If Lin Qi is strong enough, the Quancheng team can use the three cores, and even if the Puhe Ruby team scores two away goals, Lin Qi can confidently score four goals against the opponent.
If Lin Qi is strong enough, the Quancheng team can also use a double-back formation, as long as the other players of the Quancheng team do a good job of defense, Lin Qi alone can finish off the Puhe Ruby.
It's just a pity that these are ifs. Lin Qi was not strong enough at all. The only thing he can still help the Quancheng team now is to train harder and take his strength to the next level.
Lin Qi's recent training has been even more desperate than usual!
The '99 season has come to an end, and at this time, neither the players of the Spring City team nor the players of other teams dare to train too hard.
Their physical fitness has not kept up with the high-intensity training content, so although the recent training of the Spring City team seems to be hard, it is mainly based on the team's tactical training.
Tactical training is relatively easy, and Chen Song is also avoiding the possibility of injury to players. Season '99 is in its final stages, but it means that '99 is at its most crucial.
At this time, the Quancheng team must not have any mistakes! If a key player is injured in training, the entire season of Springs' efforts could be undone.
Chen Song seemed very cautious. Whether it's coping training. Still dealing with the game, Chen Song looks cautious......
While the entire Quancheng team was more cautious, Lin Qi increased his training intensity. The high-intensity training not only did not make Lin Qi injured, but also made him better and better.
The players and coaching staff of the Quancheng team had to sigh once again at the metamorphosis of Lin Qi, a top student on the court.
Lin Qi noticed that Chen Song was in an abnormal mood at the same time. Chen Song also noticed Lin Qi. He knew it very well. Lin Qi wanted to rely on his own efforts to reduce the burden on the entire Quancheng team.
But no matter how he says it, he is only a member of the Quancheng team, can he really carry the entire Quancheng team forward alone? At least now can he really carry the entire Quancheng team forward?
Chen Song was deeply suspicious of this, but he did not stop Lin Qi. Because he also knew that it was impossible for him to stop Lin Qi. At the same time, Chen Song still has a little hope in his heart.
He hoped that Lin Qi's speed could be greatly improved in a short period of time!
In Chen Song's opinion, Lin Qi's strength is difficult to strengthen, and now he is quite strong. In terms of shooting and heading, Lin Qi has almost reached the pinnacle of what Chinese football can achieve. Unless Lin Qi goes to play in Europe, otherwise, he really can't improve much in header bombing and Barty's GOAL.
And the only thing that Lin Qi can improve is his speed, as long as Lin Qi has speed, then he has more infinite possibilities.
At the same time, Lin Qi can also better help the Quancheng team!
Chen Song had long thought of the solution to the unstable performance of the Quancheng team's double-back formation, and he felt that the reason why the Quancheng team's double-back formation was unstable was not the problem of formation running-in at all, but a serious offensive and defensive imbalance.
The three-core tactics of the Quancheng team are very balanced in offense and defense, which allows them to win the game repeatedly under the three-core tactical formation.
And what about the double midfield formation? The double-back formation is equivalent to the addition of an attacking player in the front court on the basis of the three cores of the Spring City team, but an additional defensive player in the backfield.
As a result, the Quancheng team's defense is far stronger than their offense!
The upside of this is that the Quancheng team is indeed a lot more solid defensively, but the lack of attack makes it difficult for them to rely on the two-back tactics to win the game.
The double midfielders are not useless, at least in the final round of the AFC Champions League group stage against Gamba Osaka, the double back formation of the Spring City team was very powerful, and in the final minutes of the first leg against the Puhe Ruby team, the double back formation also played its due power.
Chen Song summed up a certain amount of experience based on the power of these two double-back formations. He clearly realized that the main reason why the double back formation was able to defeat Gamba Osaka and make the Kamagawa Ruby team jealous was not the strength of the double back formation, but the emptiness of the back line of these two Japanese teams!
The Japanese team is not very good at defending, they play football as a whole, and just as there is a lack of individual players in the attacking line, there are also no players in the backline who are too good at the individual.
The defense is not like the offense, you can rely on the exquisite cooperation between the players to tear apart the opponent's backline, defense, the players also have to cooperate with each other, but the cooperation between them is the most basic quality of the defenders, if you can't do this kind of cooperation, it can only be regarded as a mistake in the backline.
In this case, the personal ability of the defenders plays a prominent role, such as Chen Biao and Xu Zhen of the Quancheng team, they are the kind of defensive players with super personal ability, and their existence also makes the entire defense line of the Quancheng team impregnable!
In the Japanese team, there are no defensive players like Chen Biao and Xu Zhen who have outstanding individual abilities. Their defensive philosophy is somewhat similar to that of the Qilu team, that is, "offense is the best defense".
More often than not, the Japanese team relies on their offense to contain the opposing player, so that the opponent cannot find too good attacking opportunities. When encountering the double back formation of the Izumi City team, neither the Osaka Gamba team nor the Kamagawa Ruby team can effectively use the attack to contain the attack of the Izumi City team.
As a result, the Izumi Castle team's attack was weakened a lot, but it was enough to break the goals of Gamba Osaka and Kamagawa Ruby.
This is the secret of the success of the two-back formation, what he needs is not the players to run in training and games, he just needs an opponent like Gamba Osaka who is relatively empty defensively!
Originally, the Puhe Ruby team was also such an opponent, and it was entirely possible for the Quancheng team to use the formation of two backs to win the Puhe Ruby away from home.
It's a pity that Chen Song woke up too late, and he played too conservatively in the first round against Puhe Ruby......
Past matches can't be changed, all Chen Song can do is seize the opportunity to face Puhe Rubies in the second leg, but this time Quancheng can still easily beat Urawa Red Diamonds with a double-back formation?
Chen Song is not optimistic about this at all, since he can see the essence of the double back formation, as long as the head coach of the Puhe Ruby team is not a fool, I am afraid he has already understood the key.
To be sure, as long as Springs use a two-back formation, the Puhe Rubies will definitely strengthen their defense, and they will even cringe for the whole game.
If the Puhe Ruby team really intends to defend to the end in this game, then the double back tactics of the Quancheng team really have no way to take their goal.
You must know that the Puhe Rubies are leading in the aggregate score, and even if they can't break the Spring City goal in this leg, as long as they can successfully hold on to the score of 2:1, they will still be the ultimate winners...... (To be continued......)
