Chapter 120: Changing Formations
Shuntian relied on two wings to break through and cross, but he was never able to threaten the Yongchang gate, and the players automatically made adjustments without Gao Hongbo's instructions.
In the eighteenth minute of the first half, Shun Tian had the ball, and Sun Ke broke through on the side, but he did not go down, but passed to Jixiang behind him in an inverted triangle, and Jixiang kicked it to Wu Xi.
Wu Xi took the ball and stepped forward, Wu Xi kicked it to Liu Jianye, Liu Jianye passed to Li Ang who was inserted in front, and Qiao Luo made up for Li Ang.
Li Ang passed back to Liu Jianye, Liu Jianye made a slight adjustment, and then shot 30 meters from the goal.
Liu Jianye's long-range shooting ability is still good, the football is fast and straight, a straight line crosses, straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Wang Guoming roared angrily, jumped forward, and slapped the ball down.
The football flew to the right, and Feng Shaoshun kicked the ball out of the sideline with a big kick.
In the twenty-third minute of the first half, Shun Tian made a comeback, Wu Xi and Sun Ke crossed positions, and Sun Ke cut inside with the ball in the middle.
Gao Zengxiang pounced, Sun Ke squeezed Gao Zengxiang away with a change of direction, dribbled two steps horizontally, and then pulled out his feet and shot angrily.
This is a ball on the ground, Sun Ke shot very positively, but the football rolled at the feet of the players in the penalty area, although Wang Guoming stood in front, but the vision was still blocked by the players in the penalty area, he moved half a beat slower, and when he found the football, the football had rolled under his feet.
Just as the 35,000 fans of the Olympic Sports Center were about to cheer, a figure sprang out from the side, fell to the ground and slid the ball, shoveling the ball out of the bottom line.
This person is Li Chao, the captain of Yongchang.
Wang Guoming breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to high-five Li Chao and encourage each other.
Shuntian corner kick, Sun Ke drove the ball out, and the football was hoisted to the penalty area.
Jiang Jihong grabbed the first point, and he headed the ball outside the box.
The second point of football was grabbed by Leon, who met the ball and shot hard.
Gao Zengxiang flashed out from the side, and greeted him without hesitation, he was flying to block the eye-catching.
"Bump!" The ball smashed on Gao Zengxiang's right rib and bounced to the center circle.
Gao Zengxiang felt a pain in his ribs, and then there was a feeling of pressure in his entire right chest, which made him breathe uncomfortably, and he felt that a thick steel needle was piercing his right chest, which was painful and stuffy.
Gao Zengxiang couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Leon kicks the ball off the sideline.
Gao Jianguo hurriedly rushed into the field with several colleagues carrying a stretcher, and then carried Gao Zengxiang to the sidelines for treatment.
The game continued, Sun Haosheng threw the ball to Sun Ke, Sun Ke passed to Wu Xi, Wu Xi took two steps and passed to Li Ang behind him, and Li Ang moved to the left side.
Yang Hao received the ball, this time he did not try to pass Huang Fengtao, but quickly passed the ball to Liu Jianye, and Liu Jianye met the ball and shot angrily.
It was the same long-range shot, the same speed, but this time it didn't hold it down, and the ball went high.
At this time, Gao Zengxiang returned to the field, and the Yongchang team members breathed a sigh of relief.
Yasen frowned, Shuntian's long-range shot during this time, although he did not score, but there was still a threat, he shot too much, it felt like it would come naturally, and the morale of Yongchang's side would be lower and lower, if you want not to lose the ball, you must make adjustments.
But this is already Yongchang's strongest lineup so far, where should it be adjusted?
In the audience, Li Yun and Hu Susu followed the expeditionary force to cheer for the Yongchang team members in unison, although their voices were muffled by the cheers of more than 30,000 Shuntian fans, but the expeditionary force still sang enthusiastically.
The game continued, Wang Guoming kicked the goal, and the football flew to the midfield, but it was grabbed by Antar to the first landing point, and he gave it to Liu Jianye.
Qiao Luo was behind Liu Jianye, quickly circled the front, and successfully broke the ball.
But without waiting for Joro to pass the ball, Antar and Liu Jianye rushed forward one after the other, and the two squeezed one by one to interfere and easily snatched back the football.
Liu Jianye passed to Wu Xi, and at the same time quickly stepped forward.
Wu Xi passed to Sun Ke, Sun Ke took two steps, and then crossed with a kick, a cross at a 45-degree angle.
In the penalty area, Li Chao and Diego entangled Elias and Toloza respectively, and Jiang Jihong used his height advantage to push the ball out.
Liu Jianye, who was inserted forward, took the ball, Gao Zengxiang pounced, Liu Jiancheng passed to Wu Xi behind him, and Wu Xi met the ball and volleyed.
The long-range shot from about 25 meters from the goal was full of power and speed.
Wang Guoming flew to the ball, but he didn't pounce.
Luckily, the ball went high, slightly over the crossbar, and flew off the baseline.
In the thirty-second minute of the first half, Shun Tian easily intercepted Yongchang's pass and attacked Yongchang again.
Ren Hang stepped forward on the side, passed the ball to Yang Hao, and then rushed forward quickly.
Yang Hao returned to Ren Hang, the two of them passed Huang Fengtao like a two-by-one, Ren Hang rushed to the bottom line with the ball, Feng Shaoshun saw that he couldn't stop it, and hurriedly committed a tactical foul.
Sainty wins a free-kick in front.
The human wall was lined up, Wang Guoming stared nervously at the football,
Jixiang and Liu Jianye stood in front of the ball, and after a while, Liu Jianye flashed by, without touching the football, and Jixiang followed with a volley.
The ball flies up and shoots straight at the goal.
But he didn't fly too low, and was pushed back by Gao Zengxiang.
Jixiang didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, and volleyed against the football.
This shot is of very high quality, fast and urgent, hitting the far corner, and Wang Guoming has no time to save at all.
"Bump!" Fortunately, the football smashed against the post and bounced out.
There was a sigh at the Olympic Sports Centre, followed by loud applause, and the fans believed that this time it was the goalpost and the next time it was the goal.
Gao Hongbo was also applauding Jixiang, the previous long-range shots did not make a contribution, Gao Hongbo wanted to adjust his tactics immediately, but this time Jixiang's shot made Gao Hongbo eliminate the plan of tactical adjustment, and he decided to wait until the end of the first half to consider.
The game continued, Wang Guoming passed to Li Chao, Li Chao passed to Qiao Luo, Qiao Luo passed to Huang Fengtao, Huang Fengtao took two steps, and Yang Hao intercepted.
Huang Fengtao returned to Qiao Luo, and Qiao Luo passed it to Sun Haosheng.
Sun Haosheng took the ball and rushed forward, Sun Ke greeted him, the two fought on the side, and finally Sun Ke grabbed the football, and Sun Haosheng grabbed it on the spot.
Sun Ke passes the ball to Wu Xi.
In the audience, Li Yun shook his head helplessly, and Hu Susu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Everyone is working hard, but Shuntian's strength is indeed much stronger than us, they are stronger than Shenhua, and our ball can hardly pass half the court."
Hu Susu smiled slightly, "Isn't there still you in the next game?" ”
Li Yun smiled bitterly and nodded, "I hope." ”
Shun Tian shot from a distance by Wu Xi again, and the football shot missed, but it flew out of the bottom line by grazing the column, Wang Guoming was shocked into a cold sweat, and he shouted at his teammates, "Thirty meters, pounce on it!" Pounce on it, what are you all standing for, waiting for me to defend? ”
Wang Guoming's words are too extreme, Shuntian has an all-round advantage in the midfield, the four defenders, Ren Hang Li Ang Antar and Jixiang have good forward insertion ability, they are constantly interspersed, Yongchang can't prevent it at all, so it is inevitable to leak people.
Yasin also saw this, and he made the decision to make substitutions, Caron down, Wang Zihao up.
Wang Zihao shouted at his teammates while running: "550 formation, me and Brother Sun on both sides, Qiao Luo and Brother Gao in the back, Brother Tao in the front." ”
Football matches often have a 460 formation, with more midfield interceptions when defending and 433 when attacking. The 550 formation is very rare, and the Japanese team used it in the World Cup in South Africa, and the Netherlands relied on Sneijder to win 1:0 in the world.
Someone once criticized Japan's head coach at the time, Takeshi Okada, for not sending forwards, in fact, Japan also has bitterness to say, the first Japanese striker is weak, the quality of domestic strikers is not up to par, and the top defenders in the face of the Netherlands are simply an ornament, and it is the same if they are not on it.
Second, Japan's defenders are not as good as South Korea and Iran in Asia, let alone in the World Cup, in the face of attacking players like Van Persisnej, Ned, and van der Vaart, it must deploy a back five to rely on the numerical advantage to barely defend.
Thirdly, Japan's midfield is first-class in Asia, but against the Dutch team with stars such as De Jong van Bommel and D'Omer van der Vaart, it is simply not enough to watch. The whole world knows how terrible the Netherlands is crazy, you can't let the Dutch play downwind, otherwise you don't know how many you have to be poured in, or you don't let the Netherlands go crazy, then you can only fight hard in the midfield, and at this time the five midfielders are understandable.
As it turned out, Takeshi Okada's tactical thinking was still good, and although the Netherlands dominated the game, they did not threaten many balls.
Yongchang's game, and the Japanese team at that time was in a similar situation, or even worse, Japan at least small skills are good, small range of cooperation is very skilled, Yongchang side is not, all they can do is rely on the numerical advantage.
Gao Hongbo squinted at Yongchang's formation and smiled, the first half was about to end, and he was going to change formation.
