A few days after bringing ecstasy to domestic fans, the new national football team, which is mainly composed of national Olympic players, accidentally overturned in the gutter on the Iraqi team. And the Chinese Football Association, which has always been on a bad relationship with Krauchen before, is even more undercurrent, and many leaders want to take the opportunity to take down Krauchen, and by the way, use him as a scapegoat to shirk responsibility.
But under such pressure, Crowchen was completely unmoved, and continued to carry out a large rotation of personnel in the last game, this time even the basic formation was changed, from the previous diamond-shaped midfield 442 to the 442 without free man and parallel positions in the midfield. In the new formation, the positions of the two forwards Gao Jun and Xue Lin have not changed, but the midfield is completely different from before, Rong Hao, who originally played left back, was moved to the position of left forward, and the right forward still uses Artemisia Junmin, and the two backs are Zhou Huakai, who played a single back in the last game, and Cai Huikang, a young player of the Oriental team who is maturing this season, of which the former takes into account the organization and scheduling of the midfield, while the latter concentrates on defense.
The starting selection of the four defenders has also been greatly adjusted, Sun Jihai, who can play many positions, has been moved to the left-back position, and the young player Zhang Linpeng, who was recognized by Crowchen in the last game, continued to start as a right-back, as for the combination of central defenders, it was replaced by the old pair at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands, with Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Ming working together. In the goalkeeper position, Gu Chao, the No. 2 goalkeeper of the Oriental team, unexpectedly got the opportunity to start in an official match for the national team for the first time, and it seems that Crouchen is still very dissatisfied with Wang Dalei's playing with fire in the last game. I hope to use this to beat him, so that Wang Dalei can learn a lesson and mature faster
However, Gu Chao, who started for the first time for the national football team, was obviously a little nervous after the start of the game, and in the 18th minute, he made a reckless attack and collided with his own central defender Feng Xiaoting, only to be pushed into the empty goal by the Japanese player. The Chinese team once again conceded the first goal, and it looks like the character of the six-goal defeat over South Korea has not been paid off
Although he was very depressed about the goal he conceded, Crouchen still adhered to his principles and did not replace Gu Chao halfway. And it didn't take long for Crouchen to happily notice that maybe he wanted to open up after the mistake, and Gu Chao had been quite steady in the subsequent games, and did not make the same low-level mistakes as before. Seeing that Gu Chao was becoming more and more open, Crouchen couldn't help but nod secretly. It was decided to give him more opportunities in future training camps.
However, if you want to get back on the score, you can't just defend it. After the Japanese team unexpectedly took the lead, the Japanese coach Takeshi Okada, who knew the characteristics of the Chinese team, immediately signaled the players on the field to recycle the formation and wait for the opportunity to play the counterattack of the Chinese team on the basis of solid defense. However, the Japanese players are flexible with their feet and good skills, and they are not very afraid of the individual breakthroughs on the two wings of the Chinese team. Although the two forwards, Gao Jun and Gao Lin, are deeply feared by the Japanese team, it is still difficult for the two without strong support to play in the case of their intensive defense in the middle.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Crouchen, who finally couldn't bear it, made a very crucial personnel adjustment, he sent Yu Hai up, but he was not the free man before the kick. It was the front midfield, and at the same time, the left midfielder Rong Hao was asked to retreat to the position of left back, freeing Sun Jihai to play in the back midfield, while the young player of the Eastern team, Cai Huikang, was replaced. Cai Huikang was a little frustrated after the game, but Crouchen patted him on the head to show encouragement. In fact, Cai Huikang's previous performance was not bad, but now that the Chinese team is lagging behind, it is necessary to strengthen the attack, and it is naturally a better choice to replace him with Sun Jihai, who has both offense and defense.
In addition, the right midfielder Hao Junmin became a right winger, and Gao Jun's position was also slightly leaning towards the side and becoming a left winger. In this way, Crowchen just changed a player, but quickly changed the on-field formation of the Chinese team to 433, which is very different from before, which is a strong offensive formation, and the signal of strengthening the attack is very obvious.
Although the formation has changed a lot, because both the Eastern team and the Dresden Dynamo team have used the 433 for a while, the four players in the front court of the Chinese team on the field quickly adapted to their new roles. However, it is impossible for the Japanese team to adapt so quickly, and Yu Hai, a "defensive striker", does not hesitate to press in the front court, which has caused a lot of interference to the Japanese team's possession, and their passing error rate has increased significantly.
In the 41st minute, Yu Hai immediately handed the ball to Kobayashi who had his back to the goal, and the latter made a feint to turn around and shoot, but suddenly unexpectedly knocked the ball to Gao Jun who had just gotten rid of the marker with his back heel, and the latter volleyed directly into the upper corner as soon as he touched the ball, leaving the diminutive Kawaguchi helpless. With this goal, the Chinese team successfully equalized and finally maintained the score of 1:1 until the end of the first half
After the start of the second half, the Japanese team accelerated the speed of passing in the middle and backfield, which greatly reduced the efficiency of Yu Hai's large-scale running, but he came on as a substitute anyway, and his physical fitness was very good, and he was not worried about being exhausted by the opponent, so the scramble on the field was still very active, but the accuracy of the Japanese team was somewhat affected after speeding up the pass, which made the Japanese team's already low counterattack efficiency worse. And once the pass is wrong in the counterattack, the Chinese team breaks the ball and counterattacks, because the Japanese team's overall formation is pressed forward at this time, it is easy to be directly penetrated through the defense line, and the danger is very great.
In the 65th minute, Sun Jihai made a long pass directly to the top of the front after the ball was broken in the midfield, and the forest used his speed advantage to temporarily get rid of the defense of Tanaka Doukasa Wang and then jumped up and gave the ball to Gao Jun with his head, Gao Jun received the ball and rushed directly with the ball, using the advantage of strength to squeeze away the sorghum pole body of Yuji Nakazawa, and then gave full play to the advantage of his flexible footwork to flash the strong man Tanaka Doukasa who came over to make up the defense, and calmly pushed the ball to the inside of the goalpost that was far away from Kawaguchi and bounced into the net. Successfully helped the Chinese team overtake the score on the field.
"He's grown again, we only have Tanaka as a player with both height and strength at the back, and we have to defend against Kabayashi, and in the face of a high army that is now completely beyond the Asian level, there is really no way to completely limit his play." , Japanese team coach Takeshi Okada sighed helplessly in his heart.
The head coach of the Chinese team on the sidelines, Crouchen, was completely relieved, because of the lead in the score, he replaced the average speed of Hao Junmin with Xie Wenjun, who was faster than before, to further strengthen the power of the Chinese team's rapid counterattack. At the same time, Xie Wenjun's 1.90 meter tall figure and unusually strong body can also give the Chinese team's frontcourt quartet a very obvious air advantage over most Japanese defenders, making Tanaka even more difficult to support.
Seeing Xie Wenjun go down, Takeshi Okada, who didn't dare to let the team press on the offense, didn't dare to act rashly, but even if the Japanese team didn't press on all the lines, the Chinese team still took advantage of a corner kick opportunity in the subsequent game, and Xie Wenjun received Yu Hai's header to shoot and score, and the result of the game was finally locked at 3:1, and the Chinese team also won the third place in this Asian Cup, although for the Chinese team that is now strong, it can only be comforted to get the third place in Asia
Basically won the third place in Asia with the team of the National Olympic team, which should have been a proud achievement, but because the previous classic battle to break Koreanophobia raised the expectations of fans, especially the media and the leaders of the Football Association, the Chinese team was criticized by the domestic media, and Crowchen's use of troops was widely criticized.
However, the day after the Sino-Japanese battle, the Iraqi team that eliminated the Chinese team in the semi-finals went dark to the end, defeated the Saudi Arabian team 1:0, and unexpectedly won the championship of the Asian Cup, domestic fans finally realized that the Iraqi team was by no means as weak as they thought before, and the tone gradually began to change, and the Chinese team's performance in the 2007 Asian Cup was more regretful, rather than a strong dissatisfaction.
However, some media and the Football Association that have been watching Crowchen unpleasantly still stare at Crowchen's command mistakes and want to take the opportunity to exert pressure to force him to resign, but Crowchen declared that his training in the Asian Cup was agreed by the Football Association before the game, and he believes that compared to the upcoming Beijing Olympics in China, the Asian Cup is actually not very important, and in order to play well in the Beijing Olympics, it is completely worth sacrificing a little Asian Cup results, and as a result, Crowchen's "training theory" On the contrary, it attracted more dissatisfaction from the media and fans, and the situation was even worse
Just when Crawford was under tremendous pressure and wanted to walk away, Gao Jun, who had just won the Asian Cup Golden Boot Award again, made a high-profile statement in support of Crawford's stay, and hinted in his words that if Crawford was forced to leave class, then he would consider giving up participating in the football competition of the Beijing Olympics, anyway, the Olympics are not an international A-level event, and it is reasonable and legal for him to refuse to be called. Gao Jun's statement was immediately supported by many young overseas players, and they all expressed their willingness to do so, and the leaders of the Football Association were dumbfounded, if these indispensable main players of the National Olympic team refused to be called, then the Beijing Olympics let alone get medals, and even the group qualification may be very problematic (to be continued......
