Chapter Ninety-Nine: Exquisite Cooperation
Before the start of the Asian Youth Championships, Liu Bo had struggled with the problem that Lin Qi and Lin Heng could not be connected. However, later, he found that Lin Heng and Lin Qi had formed a healthy competition, and this problem was over.
However, now this issue has erupted, still in such a violent way.
The offense of the entire Huaxia Youth Team has been almost paralyzed, and the Huaxia Youth Team has always been like two offensive teams playing on the field.
And when the situation on the field is at a disadvantage, both teams become ineffective, and no matter which attacking team, their attacking numbers are bound to be less than the opposing team's entire team, which makes it easy for the Japanese youth team to defend.
They had no trouble and only used three defensive players to contain the attack of the entire Chinese youth team.
In the match with the South Korean youth team, the attacking players of the Chinese youth team, who scored seven goals, suddenly became dumb in this game. There is only one person left in the entire Chinese youth team who needs the attention of the Japanese youth team.
Zhou Tao!
Zhou Tao does not have any grievances with Lin Qi or Lin Heng, and he has more options for taking the ball, which can be passed to any player of the Chinese youth team.
However, Zhou Tao's position in the Chinese Youth Team is a back midfielder, an organizational back waist, and you can't expect him to complete an attack of the Chinese Youth Team alone.
Therefore, the attitude of the Japanese youth team towards Zhou Tao is to let it go. Anyway, Zhou Tao will always pass the ball to Lin Heng or Lin Qi's feet, and it is not too late to stop the attack of the Huaxia Youth Team when he passes it out.
Under the simple defensive strategy of the Japanese youth team, the attacking collective of the Chinese youth team, which scored 18 goals, became unthreatening.
The pace of the game is completely in the hands of the Japanese!
"The performance of the Chinese youth team today is a bit abnormal, there are always passing mistakes in the front court, Lin Qi has almost never touched a football until now, and Lin Heng frequently concedes goals, are the players too nervous?" Huaxia's commentator looked at the situation on the field and couldn't help but start worrying.
He guessed half right, the players of the Huaxia Youth Team were indeed very nervous, but not so nervous that they couldn't pass the ball well. The reason why they make so many passing errors is because the defenders of the Japanese youth team are well aware of their passing routes.
Take Luo Ming as an example, when he gets the ball, he will not pass it to Lin Heng, and he will not pass it to the other two players from the Qilu Youth Team, so his options have become few. In addition to cooperating with the left fullback, Lin Heng only has Lin Qi's choice to pass the ball forward.
The defenders of the Japanese youth team know that Luo Ming is going to pass the ball to Lin Qi, will they not focus on defending this route? Therefore, often before the football reaches Lin Qi's feet, it will be easily cut off by the players of the Japanese youth team.
And when Lin Heng and others got the ball, the Japanese youth team could completely ignore Luo Ming and Lin Qi, and concentrate the extra troops on other players, so as to play more and less, and it was even easier to break the ball.
It seems that every pass of the Chinese youth team is expected by the Japanese youth team. So far in the game, the Chinese youth team has not lost the ball more than five times in a row, that is to say, the Chinese youth team has passed the ball less than five times before the Japanese youth team broke the ball.
With five passes, it was impossible to reach the penalty area of the Japanese youth team, at most just after half-time.
Most of the attacks of the Chinese youth team died near the midfield. The Japanese youth team doesn't give Lin Qi and Lin Heng any chance to perform at all, even if the two of you are strong in personal ability and cut off the support of your teammates, there is no room for the two of you to play.
In the face of the targeted defense of the Japanese youth team, Lin Qi and Lin Heng were both aggrieved, especially Lin Qi, his brows were about to wrinkle into twists.
You must know that Lin Heng has won the ball a few times, although he lost the ball in the end, but at least he touched the ball. As for Lin Qi, since the game started, there have been few chances to touch the ball.
No matter how aggressively he runs, the football just can't reach his feet. There were many gaps around Lin Qi, but no one passed the ball to him every time, and when Lin Qi gathered a number of defensive players around him, the pass of the Huaxia youth team came again.
This made Lin Qi unable to catch the ball at all, and he almost vomited blood when he felt depressed.
Lin Qi had the intention to retreat to the midfield to get the ball, but his individual ability was only reflected in the grabbing and shooting. As for breaking through with the ball, don't be kidding, Lin Qi has never practiced breaking through with the ball since he studied football. Moreover, his speed is a hard injury, and even if he breaks through the opposing defenders, it is easy to be caught up again.
Lin Qi is more aggrieved now, he has never been so eager to have super fast speed as he is at this moment. If he can have the speed, even if he can't break through, he can go sideways into the penalty area of the Japanese youth team.
The Japanese youth team left a large gap in the backfield, and their defense was mainly concentrated in the midfield, and in the backfield, in addition to Lin Qi, there was only the opponent's goalkeeper left.
The Japanese youth team suppressed the Chinese youth team in their half, not because of how strong the Japanese youth team's attack was, but because their defense was too effective.
It curbed the attack of the Chinese youth team from the source, so that the football could not reach the feet of the strikers.
As for the attack, the Japanese youth team has not performed too well except for the opening shot that slid through the goal. Most of the time they were playing back and forth from outside the penalty area of the Chinese youth team.
The Japanese youth team deliberately slowed down the pace of the game, and they were not in a hurry to attack at all. Anyway, the attack of the Chinese youth team is not threatening, and the Japanese youth team has no defensive burden, so take your time and always find an opportunity to score.
The Japanese youth team's style of play made the players of the Chinese youth team very anxious.
If you say you want to attack, then attack quickly, and if you don't want to attack, you just give up the ball and keep reversing the ball in front of the penalty area.
The Chinese youth team can't break the ball if they want to, and even if it does, they can't hit the opponent's half.
In this case, they could not let their guard down and the Japanese youth team was right in front of their penalty area, a very dangerous area where the Japanese youth team could threaten their goal if they picked up the tempo a little.
The players of the Chinese youth team were hung like this, not fighting, not relaxing, and being tortured by the Japanese youth team were physically and mentally exhausted, and they wanted to die.
Finally, in the twenty-fifth minute of the game, the defense of the Chinese youth team still had problems.
Twenty-five minutes of back-and-forth reversal has made the defenders of the Chinese youth team relax some vigilance, they are also people, not machines, and their attention cannot be so concentrated all the time.
The Japanese youth team was waiting for such an opportunity, and it was Keisuke Honda, who suddenly picked up the ball and suddenly picked up the pace of the game.
Pass! Plug forward! This time Keisuke Honda passed the ball to the side, and then he ran to the middle, putting on a posture to outflank the point.
After receiving the ball, the wide player of the Japanese youth team did not cross directly, and he made a one-two cooperation with his teammates who stepped forward to respond, and easily entered the penalty area of the Chinese youth team.
The Chinese youth team did not dare to be careless, and rushed up with two defenders to defend his pass.
The Japanese youth team player returned the pass again, two-by-two! He got past the two Chinese youth defenders who came forward to block, and after that, he passed the ball to the goal!
Keisuke Honda just happened to kill at this time, pushing!
The ball flew past the goalkeeper and into the net!
1:0! Japan's youth team takes the lead! They suddenly increased the tempo of the attack, and then used the exquisite cooperation of the four people in the front court to break the goal of the Chinese youth team.
After the goal, Keisuke Honda ran to the sidelines and waved his fists excitedly. The Japanese youth team player pounced frantically and threw him to the ground.
All the players on the field of the Japan youth team hugged together to celebrate the goal.
The way the Japanese youth team celebrated made the Chinese fans slightly distracted. The Chinese youth team have scored eighteen goals in previous games, and they have not scored a single goal that has been celebrated like the Japanese youth team.
Compared to the Chinese youth team, the Japanese youth team is more like a whole!
"Isn't this Chinese youth team strong enough, why is it the Japanese youth team that scored first......" Huaxia fans looked at the Japanese youth team celebrating wildly in the stadium, a little depressed.
They had high hopes for the Chinese youth team, but the performance of the Chinese youth team in the first 25 minutes was not satisfactory, and they did not even get a chance to shoot on goal.
The Japanese youth team got two shots on goal, and the second shot broke the goal of the Chinese youth team.
A subtle fit! A subtle cooperation that makes Chinese fans can't help but applaud.
This kind of cooperation has never been seen in the Chinese youth team, and this kind of celebration has never been seen in the Chinese youth team.
Some Huaxia fans began to notice the problems of the Huaxia youth team, and they always knew that Lin Qi and Lin Heng did not deal with each other. But the previous games of the Chinese youth team were so good that they ignored this problem.
However, in the final, the problem erupted.
Not only did it make it impossible for the Chinese youth team to organize an effective attack, but it also caused problems in their defense......
