Chapter Seventy-Two: Hiddink's Substitution

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass voted by the book friend "Passerby Upstairs", and continue to ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets ^_^

After Alihan left behind his obsession with offensive football, he found that he could see it more clearly than ever, the Chinese team's frontcourt coordination mistakes were frequent, and the problem was actually on Shao Jiayi, who played in the front midfield, and I don't know if he was not used to fast passing and almost non-stop running without the ball, or because of the lack of tacit understanding with the "Dresden Trident" on the front line. Anyway, the passing mistakes that Alihan saw either happened when he passed to Shao Jiayi, or when Shao Jiayi passed the ball out, even if there was no mistake, when the ball passed to him, the offensive rhythm of the Chinese team would suddenly "stuck".

'He's a quality player, but the team as a whole is more important. After Alihan's brain was racing, he finally made up his mind to make adjustments immediately, but his subsequent substitution caused criticism from the two commentators and most of the fans.

"The Chinese team is going to be replaced, huh? Which one is this going to play? Actually replaced the teenager Zhao Ming with a plus one? Zhao Ming is a central defender! Now that the Chinese team is two goals behind, he actually goes up the back and down the front, did Alihan give up the game? Just want to lose less? Huang Jianxiang, who couldn't understand it, angrily accused.

And the fans on the Internet have scolded one after another, and even a lot of posts asking Alihan to get out of class suddenly appeared in the high bar that was more supportive of Alihan, and everyone thought that the previous good record of the national football team was mainly because the players were too strong, especially Gao Jun's magical play again and again, Alihan, the head coach, is actually not very good, and now in the more challenging World Cup, his true level is exposed.

However, when Zhao Ming came on the stage, Huang Jianxiang and the audience quickly understood. It turned out that Alihan did not want the national football team to strengthen its defense, but to liberate Yu Hai to the front. However, the voice questioning Alihan did not weaken much because of this, but the main point of the attack became the suspicion that Zhao Ming would drop the chain, and Huang Jianxiang was also worried, "Although Zhao Ming is a young man with great potential, he is only eighteen years old after all. And so far, he has not even played in the Chinese Super League, nor has he represented the national football team in any official matches, can he really be qualified for such a key position as a central defender in such a heavy game? I'm really sweating for this young man, Alihan uses people like this, I'm afraid that not only will he not get the effect he expects, but will ruin this promising young central defender. ”

Although the guest Zhang Lu also frowned, he still defended Alihan a few words, "I think Alihan has no choice, among the defenders on the bench." Zhao Ming is the only one who does not suffer from height, the others are all fullbacks, and they are generally short in height, and playing central defenders in the four-back system will be very problematic in air defense. ”

In the final analysis, he has to blame for playing a back three, and even the central defenders brought to the World Cup are basically selected according to the requirements of the three defenders, including Du Wei and several other first-class central defenders in China have missed this World Cup. Ten minutes into the first game, Alihan found that his back three couldn't play at all. He had to switch back to a back four, but now he doesn't have enough suitable candidates at the back four. This is truly 'the work of heaven is forgivable, but the self-inflicted iniquity is not to live.' 'Ahh Huang Jianxiang sneered when he heard this, and the melancholy on his face became more and more intense.

Director Zhang Lu also answered worriedly, "Actually, if you want me to say, Alihan has a feeling of rushing to the doctor this time when he is in a hurry. Yu Hai's push to the front court may indeed enhance the attack power of the national football team, but compared with the plus one who was substituted, the improvement may not be much; On the other hand, Zhao Ming's ability is simply not enough to replace Yu Hai's position in defense, and the defense of the national football team will inevitably be greatly weakened. I'm afraid it's not good! ”

But after Alihan's adjustment, the Chinese team's table on the field quickly had a qualitative change, especially the attack in the frontcourt, after removing Shao Jiayi, a point outside the system, Gao Jun, Yu Hai, Xu Lin, Hao Junmin and Rong Hao, who have been playing together in the Oriental team since childhood, quickly integrated into an organic whole, and the passing speed of the Chinese team's frontcourt was significantly accelerated, and the Australian team's backline, which was generally not flexible enough, gradually became difficult to parry

Yu Hai and Rong Hao tacitly completed a side attack, and Rong Hao crossed the bottom! These are three points of outflanking! Sue Lin pushes and shoots! It's a pity that it hit the goalpost! Supplementary shot, it's Yu Hai, it's high again! It's a shame, if this goal goes in, the game will be very promising! Huang Jianxiang's commentary regained his usual passion, and as for the complaint about Alihan's substitution just now, he doesn't remember it now

At this time, Zhang Lu didn't open any pot and said, "Looking at it now, Yu Hai's premise is indeed a wonderful move, and the ability to add one is not bad, but the tacit understanding is indeed incomparable with the five of them." The only problem on the field now is that Gao Jun was closely watched by the Australian team after moving to the forward position, and there were at least two or three people who were surrounded by the bag, and the opponent's action was very big, so it was easy to get injured if he kicked like this. And although Gao Jun's passing is good, but after staying away from the goal, there are fewer opportunities to shoot, and it is more convenient for the opponent to defend with the bag, and the central defenders and midfielders can be involved, and it feels like the gains outweigh the losses."

In the next game, Gao Jun missed a good opportunity to score, Gao Jun couldn't help frowning slightly, the importance of this game and the score of two goals behind made the national football players on the field bear an unprecedented heavy pressure, in such a mentality, the accuracy of the shot will inevitably be greatly affected. Although the archery skills of Xue Lin and Yu Hai are much stronger than in history, they are still not the type of shooters with superb archery skills and calm in front of the goal, and they are still younger after all, and their mentality is obviously a little too anxious

"It seems that I still have to shoot myself to be sure enough." , Gao Jun thought secretly in his heart, but looking at the two Australian players who were almost inseparable and more Australian strong men who were also eyeing him a little farther away, Gao Jun was still a little hairy in his heart, and then he suddenly looked back and saw Zheng Zhi, who had been focusing on defense during this time, and suddenly had an idea, and immediately shouted at him, "Brother Zheng, you come to the front, you will get the ball!" ”

Zheng Zhi is more procrastinating when handling the ball, and it seems that it is difficult to integrate into the "Oriental Five" that is mainly a one-foot pass, but his body is good, balance and ball control skills are also very good, so he has a strong ability to hold the ball, and his action frequency is relatively fast, and it is difficult for the Australian defender who is not dexterous enough to snatch the ball from under his feet when he is one-on-one, but it is easy for him to use feints to get rid of it and organize calmly, and if many people surround him, Gao Jun will be liberated, And this is the main purpose of Gao Jun to let Zheng Zhi step forward to participate in the attack.

Zheng Zhi buckled the ball and avoided the opponent's rush, the technique was very beautiful, okay, the ball was passed to Guilin, beautiful! Xue Lin passed the ball with his heel, and Hao Junmin inserted a shot from a small angle! The Australian goalkeeper reacted quickly and blocked Hao Junmin's powerful shot off the line, and China won a corner. Huang Jianxiang said this, he could finally drink saliva to moisten his throat, and the ups and downs of love and the long passionate screaming made his voice more hoarse than usual

Due to Australia's overwhelming air dominance, the Chinese team was inefficient at set-pieces in this game. Although it is not impossible to pass boccia and semi-high balls, because Australians are very confident in their high-altitude defense, they only need to focus on the defense of boccia and semi-high balls, so the concentration is greatly increased, and the difficulty of defense is naturally significantly reduced; In addition, the tall Australian players crowded in the penalty area looked extremely crowded, which was really a big obstacle to the shooting route, so it was not easy for the Chinese team to take advantage of it.

Therefore, this time the corner kick of the Chinese team unexpectedly passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area, Zheng Zhi directly met the ball near the top of the arc of the penalty area and volleyed, wanting to try his luck, but unfortunately the decline of the Chinese team in this game is obviously not over, he failed to suppress this kick, and directly put the anti-aircraft gun

Although this round of attack failed to score, with Zheng Zhi's frequent insertion, the Chinese team's attack was completely revitalized. While the Australians never let up their guard against Gao, the rest of the Chinese squad had an unprecedented number of shots, many of which were quite good.

In the first 40 minutes of the first half, the Chinese team had 13 shots on goal, while the Australian team only had 5 times, with a ratio of more than 2:1, and the Chinese team scored 30 meters in front of the court three times as many times as the Australian team, and the possession rate was as high as 63%, and the advantage on the field was very obvious.

Many people originally thought that Zhao Ming, the young central defender who came on as a substitute for the Chinese team, was likely to drop the chain, but the referee's relaxed scale in this game was of great help to the defensive players, and the Chinese team had completely controlled the midfield after 20 minutes, so the Australian team did not get into any loopholes because of the adjustment of the Chinese team's backline. By the way, the Chinese team conceded three goals in a row in the opening game because of the lack of preparation for the referee's scale, failed to make full use of it, and failed to play normally

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Chinese team scores, and after changing to a four-back formation, the protection of the Chinese team's back line has been significantly strengthened, and the Australian team wants to find three strikers to launch a counterattack with a long pass directly like it did at the beginning, and the difficulty has increased greatly. In this case, Hiddink quickly made a change, and he did not wait for half-time, but made a major change to the line-up in the 40th minute, changing two forwards at once, a defender and a midfielder, and the Australian team's formation became 361 (to be continued......
