Chapter 1218: Wrong Tactics
A day has passed since the match between the Chinese team and Italy, and the Chinese fans are still immersed in the joy of victory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The day of August 16th belongs to Chinese football and belongs to Chen Yu.
On this day, Chen Yu took a free kick in the last minute to Italy to lead the Chinese Olympic team to the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, tying Iraq's record of fourth place in football at the Athens Olympic Games.
If the group qualification is just not to add to the blockage of the Chinese people who hold the Olympic Games at home, then the current national Olympic team is to add glory to the Chinese people.
When the Chinese team qualified from the group, the South Korean and Japanese media also sourly said that the Chinese team relied on the advantage of the host to get into the quarterfinals, and now the Chinese team defeated Italy to reach the semifinals in a dignified manner, and slapped the faces of those who said that the Chinese team relied on referees and grouping, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks about the Chinese team anymore.
Even the European and American media have to pay attention to this Chinese team with Chen Yu in charge.
Italy's "Milan Sports Newspaper" believes that the Chinese team's elimination of Italy is not all luck, after the game, it can be seen that every step of the Chinese team is very planned, including the front weakness and the final stage of the attack, they ate the weakness of Italy's attack is not strong, step by step to introduce the Italian team into their conspiracy, and finally with the help of luck, they achieved their goal.
It turned out that the Belgian media were full of disdain and disdain for the promotion of the Chinese team, but after the Chinese team eliminated Italy, they also changed their tone, believing that China has the strength to fight with Belgium, and Belgium's loss is similar to Italy's, because of lack of preparation and carelessness of the enemy.
Reaching the semi-finals has made the current Chinese team love of fans, the attention of the media and the respect of the opponent, but there must be losses if there is gain, because of the attention of the opponent, the Chinese team no longer has the opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and can only fight hard with the opponent.
The Chinese Olympic team was the first team to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic men's football team, and in the following game, Brazil defeated Cameroon 2-0 in extra time to avenge their elimination by Cameroon eight years ago.
Argentina also played very hard in the match between Argentina and the Netherlands, and in the end it was the superstar who played a decisive role, and Messi's shot and pass allowed Argentina to eliminate the Netherlands and reach the semi-finals.
In the civil war between the African eagles and the African elephants, the experienced Nigeria had the last laugh as they beat Ivory Coast 2-0 thanks to a shot and pass from their only overage player, Odemwengi, to reach the last four of the Olympic Games again.
The opponent of the Chinese team is Nigeria, the African eagle.
Nigeria are one of the strongest teams in Africa, with excellent physicality and individual skills, and they have an excellent record in the youth team competition where the tactical role is not obvious, and they won the Olympic gold medal in the men's team at Atalanta in '96.
In terms of strength alone, the Chinese team is definitely inferior to Nigeria, and its body and technology are much worse, but China is not without a chance of winning, first of all, the Chinese team is the host, and this advantage cannot be denied even if it is the Chinese team, not to mention the referee's tendency, even the cheers of sixty or seventy thousand fans on the scene are enough to make the players use up their strength to eat milk and not feel tired. Secondly, the Chinese team has three overage players, and there is a veteran who plays in the five major leagues on the three lines, Chen Yu is still the world footballer, with them, no matter what happens on the field, the emotions and mentality of young players will not have too many ups and downs. Third, although the Chinese team is not good at personal skills, it still has tactical discipline and will not fight blindly, European coaches have commented that Chinese players are obedient, while African players are excited and don't listen to anyone's orders, just do it. If the Chinese team can play to the overall advantage, it is not completely impossible to beat Nigeria.
The Chinese Football Association and the General Administration of Sports are very satisfied with the performance of the national Olympic team, and there are no hard requirements for the semi-finals with Nigeria.
The leaders do not give pressure or make demands, but the players and coaches of the Chinese Olympic Games do not want to stop at the top four, they have come to this point by relying on the right time and place, and then they have created the history of Asian football, and the players and coaches of the National Olympic team cannot have no ideas.
In fact, the players of the Chinese team not only have ideas, but also have a lot of ideas, some players even swelled to the point that they don't know what their surnames are after entering the semi-finals, thinking that Italy has won and Nigeria is nothing, so that Yin Shengtie and the coaching staff had to hold a meeting to cool down the players.
Not only Yin Shengtie and other members of the coaching staff warned the players of the Chinese team not to think that Nigeria is not strong, in the age group of 23, Nigeria is better than Italy, and Italy is stronger than the senior team, not the youth team.
Chen Yu, Zheng Hua, and Sun Hai, the three overage players, also analyzed Nigeria's strength for young players, and asked the players to put themselves in the position of the underdog to fight Nigeria, instead of looking at themselves high.
The mentality of the players can not be solved in a few words, this needs to let the facts tell them, of course, it doesn't matter what the players think, the key is that they must not violate tactical discipline on the field, go against the intention of the head coach, Yin Shengtie made cruel words, whoever violates tactical discipline, who will go to the bench to watch the water cooler.
After solving the problem of the players, the next step is to solve the problem of tactics, Nigeria is different from Italy, Nigerian players are more physically strong, individual skills are better, let them play to the fullest, they may play at a high level to beat opponents who are stronger than them.
Therefore, the game with Nigeria must not be defended, once the Nigerian players go crazy, the Chinese team may not be able to defend the iron bucket formation.
However, it is not possible to really attack against Nigeria, the Chinese players have poor ability to handle the ball and pass the ball in high-speed confrontation, and it is almost the same to play a defensive counterattack, and it is too difficult for them to do passing and cutting in a dense crowd.
Dense defense can't be played, and offense can't be played, which tests Yin Shengtie and the coaching staff's ability to arrange tactics.
After some careful research, the coaching staff developed a counter-attacking tactic of possession, trying to control the ball in the middle and back instead of rushing to counter-attack, and trying to provoke Nigeria's players as much as possible in defence, allowing them to play alone rather than cooperatively.
The tactics of the Chinese team are reasonable in theory, but when they are actually implemented, it turns out that they are not like that.
In the semi-finals with Nigeria, the Chinese team still had almost the same starting lineup as in the previous games, and the only change was that fullback Tan Song was replaced by Yu Weiwei this time.
The reason for this change is that the Nigerian players are too strong in individual ability than the Italian players, and Tan Song has an impatient temperament, maybe he did not anger the Nigerian players, Tan Song was provoked first, so Yin Shengtie replaced the irritable Tan Song with a more stable Yu Weiwei.
Nigeria have big ambitions, aiming for the title and not taking the hosts, who have always been in the belly of Asia, into account. After the opening, they launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team, trying to crush the fighting spirit of the Chinese team in a short period of time.
The players of the Chinese team adhered to tactical discipline at the beginning of the game, easily did not open their big feet after taking the ball, tried to pass the ball as much as possible, and prepared to wait for the opponent to show flaws before attacking.
However, the players of the Chinese team overestimated their ability to pass and receive the ball, and also underestimated the speed and impact of the black Africans, under the lightning pressure of the Nigerian players, the Chinese team's passing errors were repeated, and in just 3 minutes of the opening game, the Nigerian team made a counterattack in the front court, and the left back Okonkuwo assisted to the corner of the penalty area and shot wide.
A minute later, Nigeria cut off Zheng Hua's ball again in midfield, and Hao Jun had to foul the Nigerian player from counterattacking.
In the 6th minute of the game, the Chinese captain passed a counterattack, and Yang Lin **** stopped the ball and swept it, but the ball was off the post.
Two minutes later, Nigerian striker Nsofor returned to his backfield and cut off Dongzhuo's ball on a quick counterattack, breaking through along the left side to the penalty area near the penalty area, Nigeria's overage striker Odemwenji cut into the box at high speed to grab a tackle, but the ball went wide of the post.
After almost 10 minutes of the game, the Chinese team was tackled by Nigerian players in their front and back midfield, and each steal was able to form a certain threat, which made the Chinese players doubt the tactics formulated before the game, and they did not believe that they could beat Nigeria if they continued to play like this.
Yin Shengtie, the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team on the sidelines, was also dumbfounded, at this time he realized how big the distance between theory and reality is, the Chinese team's technology is simply not enough to support the passing control, and they will only be stolen by the fast and strong black and hard people to cry.
Yin Shengtie also saw that the tactics he formulated before the game were not suitable, and the Chinese team could only play intensive defense in the face of this kind of team that surpassed them in all aspects, even if this kind of defense would make the opponent more excited, it could only be defended like this, otherwise there was no hope of winning.
Yin Shengtie is not a famous handsome in China, but his biggest characteristic is pragmatism, what is pragmatism, that is, respecting the actual situation, not arrogant, and finding that he is wrong, he will change it immediately, rather than holding it up.
Yin Shengtie took advantage of the dead ball time to call Chen Yu over and told him to change his tactics, defend intensively, and no longer play pass and control the ball. And Yin Shengtie told Chen Yu to let his teammates foul more, because he saw that the referee's whistle was looser, especially for the host, which was a more favorable side.
Chen Yu also agreed with the pass-control counterattack style of play before the game, but now he also realizes that the passing and receiving skills of his teammates in the Chinese team are very greedy, which is not enough to support this style of play, and it is better to play the defensive counterattack in the half of the court honestly.
Fifteen minutes later, the Chinese team changed their style of play, and the players returned to their own half to play counter-attack, and in the face of Nigeria's pressing, they cleared the ball with big feet, instead of seeking to pass the ball to their teammates.
This style of play is very appetizing for the Chinese players, who were scared in the first 15 minutes and are now much more relaxed, and they have not allowed Nigeria to play into their own box for several minutes.
Yin Shengtie was speechless, and said in his heart, Brother Rough has to do Brother Rough's work, and embroidery is really not something anyone can do.
Nigeria's head coach Siacia almost didn't laugh off his big teeth when he began to see the Chinese team actually playing ball control tactics, and the Netherlands, the ancestor of heart ball control, was scrambling by us, and you Asian fish belly dare to play ball control! Later, seeing Nigeria stealing and counterattacking again and again, firmly controlling the situation, Siathia felt that Nigeria would easily cross the Chinese team to reach the final.
What Sia didn't expect was that fifteen minutes later, the Chinese team actually changed its style of play and went back to defend intensively, which made Sia couldn't help but look at the Chinese team's coach's seat with a lot of eyes, and felt that although the tactics he designed were brainless, his on-the-spot command ability was still good.
Although the dense defense can't stop Nigeria, but breaking the dense defense is a world problem after all, plus the Chinese team still has Chen Yu, the tiger, Nigeria wants to break the Chinese team's defense is not very easy, Siasia feels that he should be ready to play overtime, maybe he will drag the Chinese team until the physical exhaustion can beat them.
