Chapter 56: What to do

"For the overall strength of the relatively weak Chinese team, the opportunity to set pieces is very precious, because air dominance and header is one of our few advantages over the Spanish team, just Xie Wenjun, Yu Hai and Xue Lin in the front court, can already form a great air advantage, and Gao Jun Although he is not too tall, his bounce and header are also world-class", just when Duan Xuan was chattering, Wang Jiayu had already opened the free kick, only to see a figure suddenly jump out of front point, With a gentle rub against the high-speed flying ball, I saw the football change direction and go straight to the far corner

Duan Xuan subconsciously put on a posture of preparing to cheer, but after a while, he put down his hand regretfully and sighed, "Casillas is really not old, such a tricky header actually saved him, obviously Gao Jun has done a very good job this time, whether it is getting rid or attacking the goal, it's a pity!" ”

"The ball is at the feet of the Spaniards, watch out for their quick counter-attacks!" , the guest Gong Lei was also disappointed, but after all, he was a player, and he noticed the danger in the field earlier, and immediately exclaimed.

However, the advance of the Spanish team was not very fast, which gave the Chinese players enough time to retreat, but just when the Chinese fans who were watching the game breathed a sigh of relief, the Spanish team, which had slowed down the tempo, suddenly accelerated again, and this unexpected change in rhythm immediately caused chaos in the Chinese team's backline. Iniesta first noticed this, and immediately after winning the ball, he did not hesitate to take the ball directly into the Chinese team's penalty area, and decisively grabbed Bai Jiajun to shoot through the net before he posted it, and the score on the field was tied 1:1, and the Chinese fans in the stands were stunned for a while

"Even if it has begun to decline now, after all, it was once the world's No. 1 super team, and it is not easy to win." Gao Jun's brow furrowed slightly, but soon stretched out again, "But, so what? ”

Under the loud encouragement of Gao Jun, the Chinese team did not become conservative because the score was equalized by the opponent, but further strengthened the attack. The first half went on until after the 37th minute. The Chinese team played a wave of very threatening offensive, in this game, the good state of the game after receiving the ball from his teammates rolled the ball to the goal unexpectedly with his back heel, but was already fully entered Casillas magically blocked with his feet, seeing that the Chinese team's attack was about to end here, at this time Gao Jun grabbed the position at the first time to fly and shovel, and made up the ball into the goal of the Spanish team, and the Chinese team took the lead again, 2:1!

"It's Gao Jun again, and he's really the most reliable!". This is Duan Xuan's exclamation after seeing the slow-motion replay, and the coach of the Spanish team, Bosque, felt the same at this time.

"Although the Chinese team has a number of world-class strikers, the biggest threat is always Gao Jun, although I paid great attention to him before the game, but now, I don't pay enough attention to him", Bosque muttered to himself. But where is it so easy to stare at Gao Jun? If you use a regular multi-player flanking attack, you will have to shrink the defense. Otherwise there simply won't be enough manpower, but that's what to do. The Spanish team is tantamount to giving up its own strengths, and with the air defense that the Spanish team has always been very problematic, if the restricted area is restricted, it will let the Chinese team unscrupulously carry out high-altitude bombing, which will be even more unbearable

"Give full play to our traditional advantages and try not to let the Chinese team get the ball?". Bosque thought about it and immediately shook his head to reject it, because that's exactly what Spain did after the opening kick-off, and if it worked, they wouldn't have fallen behind twice.

"We still have some advantages. However, they could not completely suppress the Chinese team, and they also did a good job of possession and pressing. However, the biggest threat of the Chinese team is their forward trident, the attack is too strong, even without the strong support of the midfield, they can tear our defense, which forces us to let the two back midfielders close further back, but in this way, the number of people who can control the ball in the opponent's half is at a disadvantage", Bosque thought about this, and finally understood what the problem was, "That's right, although the Chinese team looks the same as us, only three midfielders are arranged, But because their two wingers and two full-backs will often be involved in the midfield pass, the Chinese team can actually reach 6 people at the most in midfield, no wonder, no wonder! ”

Although the problem has been found, it is not easy to solve it, at least it is not advisable to draw a gourd in the same way. The reason why the Chinese team dares to let the two fullbacks frequently step forward to assist is because there is Bai Jiajun, an alternative central defender with the world's No. 1 recovery ability, and Wang Dalei, who is good at attacking, as the last line of defense. As for the frequent retreat of the two wingers, it is because they both have excellent speed and impact, and after retreating, they can get space to sprint, and the threat is greater than that of the front; And more importantly, no matter which of the Chinese team's forward tridents is in the center position, they can threaten the Spanish team's goal with their individual ability, even if Bosque arranged two people to attack before the game, they can't completely prevent it from death.

In contrast, Spain's goalkeeper Casillas is very good, but he is not very suitable for the team that is now mainly born out of Barcelona's pass-and-control play, and Bosque insists on using him as the No. 1 goalkeeper, not so much because of his more all-round ability, but for the factional balance in the dressing room. Don't look at Casillas's wonderful saves in this game, but the scavenger attributes that the Spanish goalkeeper must have have were not fully displayed in this game.

In a sense, Bosque's choice of Ramos, a full-back, was used as a centre-back to make up for Casillas' lack of range (judging by the Spanish team's tactical requirements). But even Ramos, because of his tall and strong stature, the speed of chasing back is definitely not comparable to that of Bai Jiajun, a short central defender, even if the absolute speed is not much different, the flexibility of turning is definitely far behind

"I really envy the head coach of the Chinese team, the team he coaches is so united, there is no need to think about these messy things at all, just do the business well", Bosque looked at Stano with some envy at this time, and let out a low sigh. And when Bosque saw the three strikers of the Chinese team on the field who were actively running, the envy in his heart was even stronger

Since Raul. After the retirement of Morientes's group of forwards, the forward line of the Spanish team has always been the weakest link of the three lines, and the current forwards of the Spanish national team are basically technically conscious, very dependent on the support of the midfield, and lack the ability to attack as strong as the three forwards of the Chinese team.

And the three strikers of the Chinese team are not only strong in individual assault ability, each of them can be qualified for the center and left and right wingers, and even the position of the forward midfield, plus the extraordinary tacit understanding between the three of them since childhood, so they can change positions frequently in the game, so that Bosque has not figured out which of the Chinese team's Zhengyin center in this game is until now.

This undoubtedly brought greater difficulties to the Spanish team's defense, and the reason why the Chinese team, which is not even the world's second-rate midfielder, was able to tear apart the Spanish team's defense through guò passing and cutting, actually had a lot to do with it. And the defenders of the Spanish team have to guard against the passes of those three, and they have to prevent their individual breakthroughs, which is naturally very difficult.

Compared with the World Cup in South Africa, the strength of the Chinese team's forward trident has been strengthened a lot, not only the two of them have made great progress, but even Gao Jun, who is already the world's No. 1, has also made great progress. After discovering that his strengths had been pushed to the limit, Gao Jun began to focus on improving his weaknesses, the most valued and improved of which was his long-standing dribbling technique.

In the season just ended, Gao Jun's success rate in one-on-one breakthroughs in La Liga exceeded 50% for the first time, which is even higher than his former teammate Franck Franck Ribery, who has long been the world's top winger. And Gao Jun's ability to protect the ball is very strong, even if he fails to succeed in a one-on-one breakthrough, he has a greater chance to keep the ball and not lose it, which is incomparable to Ribery, who was cut off by the ball after failing to break through.

Objectively speaking, Gao Jun's personal breakthrough success rate in La Liga is so high, which has a certain relationship with the lack of strict defensive system of La Liga teams, and at the same time, Gao Jun's unique shooting skills make defenders have scruples when marking him, and he often has loopholes to drill. In addition, Gao Jun has always only used personal breakthroughs as a secondary means of attack, and will not be as brutal as Ribery, so the success rate of breakthroughs will naturally be higher. In fact, Gao Jun himself knows very well that there is still a significant gap between his current personal breakthrough ability and top masters like Messi and Ronaldo, and he is not as good as his teammate Xie Wenjun of the national team.

But no matter what, personal breakthroughs have become one of Gao Jun's powerful weapons now. With the ability to break through with the ball close to the world's first-class, the tactics of intercepting passes to limit Gao Jun's play that worked before are no longer effective, and now no matter who the opponent is, it is impossible not to pay a huge price if you want to defend Gao Jun. With Gao Jun, who can truly be called an "all-round striker", as the core, the forward trident of the Chinese team has also completely completed its transformation and has become the strongest forward combination recognized in the world (limited to the scope of the national team) (to be continued......
