In the 65th minute, Wang Jiayu, who was playing better and better, showed his free kick skills again, but unfortunately perhaps because of the lack of strength, the shot hit the post because of the angle of the goal, which made the Chinese fans in the stands extremely sorry. However, Rao is so, but also scared the Italian team enough, the score of 2:6 is completely impossible for them to explain to the domestic fans, if they continue to concede goals, the consequences are unimaginable, even their head coach Prandelli at this time did not dare to insist on his own control of the ball play, can only choose to recycle the defense line to hold the current score.
Although the Italian team shrunk the defensive line, but this also gave Wang Jiayu more room to move, and in the following games, he created three chances to score, but unfortunately his teammates seemed to be too relaxed because of the big lead, and failed to grasp it once, and the final score of the battle between China and Italy was still fixed at 6:2. But even so, Wang Jiayu's watch still conquered all the fans, if it weren't for Gao Jun's number in this game was too dazzling (hat trick + two assists), it was really hard to say who the best player in this game was
For Wang Jiayu's outstanding performance, Gao Jun feels extremely gratified, it seems that the energy he has invested in it over the years has not been in vain, avoiding the detours taken in history, and the platform of the Shanghai Oriental team is also higher than in history, Wang Jiayu, who is only 23 years old, has the technology and awareness to comprehensively surpass the peak of history.
But more importantly, Wang Jiayu is the kind of tactical player who will become stronger the stronger his teammates, and the current national football squad is much stronger than in history, and most of the main players are from the Oriental system, so Wang Jiayu can play a much bigger role. Although in terms of personal one-on-one ability, Wang Jiayu is not even a first-class in China. But within this unique tactical system, which is almost tailor-made for him, the young Wang Jiayu can play at the level of Asia's leading midfield playmaker, much like Andrea Pirlo's role in Italy. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Pirlo would specially ask Wang Jiayu to exchange jerseys after the game, which made the little guy happy for several days
Wang's excellent performance also earned him back-to-back starts for the national team, in the final game of the group stage. He instigated most of the threatening attacks of the Chinese team, and used a corner kick opportunity to directly assist his teammates to score, helping the Chinese team win again against Mexico with a score of 4:2.
In terms of organizing the attack, Wang Jiayu has now been able to fully satisfy the national football coach Stano, but in this game, in the face of the Mexican team, a Latin American team with fast speed and good technology, his weaknesses of poor defense and slow speed were also exposed. Using his excellent defensive ability to make up for Wang Jiayu's shortcomings, the result of this game is really hard to say
It was also in this game that Stano finally determined the use of Wang Jiayu, that is, just like Yu Hai and Rong Hao formed an inverted combination of "full-back main defense and full-back main attack" when they debuted, let Yu Hai, who is good at defense, play the front waist as a-stirring stick, and at the same time switch positions with Wang Jiayu when defending and retreat to the position of the back waist to assist in defense, and the responsibility of the team's midfield organization was handed over to Wang Jiayu, the "core of the rear organization". In addition, Stano will also arrange a strong back-back with strong sweeping ability to protect him. Make sure that Wang Jiayu can give full play to his talent in organizing the attack.
However, as a result, it is inevitable that many of the original main or semi-main international players will lose their positions. The first to bear the brunt is Yang Hao, whose state is declining year by year because of age. Although he is an excellent defender with both offense and defense, because of his thin body, even if he strengthens his strength under Magat's devil training, it is impossible to reach the "beast waist" Cheng dù, and when defending, he mainly relies on "sticky", so he can only delay the opponent's attack and wait for his teammates to come to support. If he partners with Wang Jiayu to play in the back, the latter will not be able to support at all, and Yang Hao is also unable to support Wang Jiayu, such a combination obviously magnifies the shortcomings of the two, and they are not competitive at all.
On the contrary, Cai Huikang, who has now grown into a big fat man, still has natural shortcomings. can form a clear complement to Wang Jiayu, and the two are partners in the club, and they have been working together for many years since childhood, and it is obviously a better choice to directly copy it to the national team. And if Cai Huikang can't play due to injury or suspension, you can let the stronger Zhang Linpeng fill the gap, Cai Huikang can do it, Zhang Linpeng can do it, Cai Huikang can't do it, he can do it, but if he moves to the back position, the right back position is difficult to completely reassure, so this can only be used as an alternative when there is no way
Since Yu Hai in the forward position will be the main force of the iron fight in most cases, not to mention Deng Zhuoxiang, who has lost the main position with the growth of the king of martial arts, even the king of martial arts himself, in the future, can only be used as a rotation substitute in the national team. However, if any of the three Xie Wenjun, Xue Lin and Gao Jun are absent, Wu Qiuwang, who can play all positions in the front court, will definitely be the first substitute. In addition, if the opponent is not too strong, the defensive pressure of the national football team is not so great, the front position does not necessarily have to use Yu Hai as the role, at this time the king of martial arts can still compete for the main position, in fact, he has a great advantage compared with Yu Hai, that is, he has been in an echelon with Wang Jiayu since he was a child, and the tacit understanding is better.
Therefore, the opportunity of Wuqiu Wang to play in the national team will not be reduced too much, but in the first knockout game that began on the afternoon of June 23, he could only sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity, because Xie Wenjun had returned from injury and directly locked a main position, and the opponent of the national football team in this game was the super strong Spanish team, so Yu Hai's defense was indispensable
In fact, Stano originally had another choice, that is, not to use Wang Jiayu for the time being, but to continue to use the defensive counterattack tactics and corresponding personnel allocation that he had practiced before. However, after discussing with Gao Jun, Stano decided to abandon this seemingly safe plan and fight against the Spanish team!
The reason why Stano, who has always been pragmatic, made such a choice is obviously not that emotion has triumphed over reason, but that he made a targeted deployment after repeated discussions with Gao Jun. The Spanish team's style of play was born from Barcelona, and they are all "Tiki-Taka" of "ball control attack + high pressing", but compared with Barcelona, the Spanish national team has a big shortcoming, that is, there is no super striker like Messi who is good at personal breakthroughs and grasping opportunities in front of goal.
As a result, although the Spanish team has the strongest game control in the national team, they have always lacked the ability to turn advantage into killing and ultimately into goals. This can be seen from the World Cup match in South Africa, even the Spanish team that won the World Cup in history is rarely able to play a big score, and this time and space lost to the significantly strengthened German team because of the lack of attacking power
In addition, although the Spanish team is based on Barcelona players, there are also many main players on the field from the Real Madrid team, not to mention the conflict between the two clubs derived from the national team factional disputes, even if the team is harmonious, the tacit understanding of the Spanish national team on the field can not be compared with the Barcelona club team, which is also the natural deficiency of almost all national teams except the current Chinese team.
The "Tiki-Taka" has further amplified this problem by its higher requirements for tacit understanding, so although the Spanish team's control of the game is also very strong, it has never reached the terrifying Cheng dù of Barcelona. In the back line that needs tacit understanding the most, the Spanish team coach Bosque, a good old man, in order to balance the factions in the team and take half of Barcelona and Real Madrid, makes the Spanish team's defense always worrying, the Chinese team's current frontcourt attack is already the world's first, and it may not be impossible to score.
At the same time, since the Spanish team does not have a strong midfielder with strong one-on-one ability, and the style of play is mainly based on ground coordination, it is natural that the short central defender Bai Jiajun, who has been avoided in a large way, will start in this game. After several years of training in La Liga and the Champions League, Bai Jiajun's one-on-one defensive ability is strong, and it is difficult for anyone in the world to compare with him, if it weren't for his height is too short, he would have become a real world-class central defender, and it would not be as widely regarded as the light of the Barcelona system
Of course, even so, Stano and Gao Jun do not think that the Chinese team has the confidence to compete with the Spanish team for dominance of the game, but why should the Chinese team force the advantage on the field? Whether it is the ability to attack the front line or the ability to grasp opportunities, the current Chinese team is above the Spanish team, so even if there are fewer scoring opportunities than their opponents in the game, they still hope to win the game. The reason why the two want to play against the Spanish team is just to get more offensive opportunities than to shrink and defend, in Gao Jun's words, "As long as we can exceed 35% of the possession in this game, we have the hope of winning, and if the possession rate can exceed 40%, then our chances of winning are great!"
