Chapter 67: Iran's True Strength
Thanks to the generous reward of the book friend "full of anti-vulgarity", I continue to ask for recommendation votes, collections and member clicks ^_^
The strategy of the Iranian team has achieved remarkable results, the core of the midfield of the national football team, Shao Jiayi, was firmly blocked by their two-man defense, and in many previous games, Yu Hai, an excellent left midfielder, was completely arranged by Ivankovic to return to the right-back position of the Asian-level player Madavecchia exploded at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, as for Artemisia Junmin on the right side, due to his lack of degree, the Iranian team only needs to send a random person to stick to him, which is enough to block the counterattack of the Chinese team from his direction, and with the Iranian team's fast return to defense, As long as it drags on for more than ten seconds, or even just a few seconds, the Chinese team will completely miss the opportunity to counterattack, once it turns into a tough battle, no matter how strong Artemisia Junmin's dribbling breakthrough ability is, it is difficult to swing it in the face of the Iranian team's muscle jungle and the home referee's lenient punishment for physical confrontation
Ivankovic saw very clearly that only these three players in the Chinese team had the ability to send shells to Gao Jun frequently, and as long as they were blocked, the Chinese team's offense would not be a cause for concern. And judging from this game, it is indeed the case, after the three passing points in the front court were killed by the Iranians, the Chinese team can only be directly made by the central defender Zheng Zhi or the back Zhao Junzhe to find the center Li Yi in the front, but Li Yi's ability to take the ball and protect the ball is strong, but it is not easy to hold the ball under the strong Iranian player's marking, and even if he gets the ball, with Li Yi's habit of liking stuffy head and rough passing skills, it is almost impossible for him to send the ball to the feet of the more threatening Gao Jun.
And if you directly find Gao Jun with a long pass, because the ball is bound to be high and floating, Gao Jun's excellent prediction advantage is difficult to swing, with his height of only one meter seven and not too strong, the Iranian team can send a defender to destroy the ball in front of him. In such a situation, it is not surprising that the Chinese team's quick counterattack cannot be played at all.
The counterattack can't be played, and the attack is even more difficult, the Iranian players are generally tall and have long legs, and once the defense line is recovered, the probability of the Chinese team's ground pass being intercepted is extremely high. As for the high-altitude ball, even at the beginning when the tradition of the "Chinese head team" had not been lost, the Chinese team had no air superiority in front of the Iranian team, let alone now, when there was no air dominance?
In addition, it should not be ignored that the average physical quality of the Iranian team players is far better than that of the national football team, and today's referee is very loose on the scale of physical collision, which undoubtedly gives the Iranian team players an advantage, so that the already existing strength gap between the two teams (taking into account the factor of the style of play) is further widened
Although the strong offensive that basically suppressed the Chinese team in their own half greatly reduced the chances of the Iranian team's quick counterattack, the Iranian team's long-range shooting ability and air superiority in Asia made them not have to worry about not scoring goals at all, especially now on the Chinese team's backline, Li Datou's air dominance can barely compete with the Iranians, and the other central defender Zheng Zhi Although the bounce is good, but only 1.81 meters tall is a big deficiency after all, facing other Asian teams. Against the young Asian No. 1 center Ali Daei and the powerful Iranian attacking group behind him, he still struggled to deal with it.
What's worse is that the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Liu Yunfei, is not tall, although his excellent jumping ability can make up for this defect in a large way, but his physical condition in this game is not good, so that before the game, Alihan even wanted to send a substitute goalkeeper Li Jian to replace him, only because Li Jian is shorter, and the tacit understanding with the defenders is not enough, he decided to continue to send Liu Yunfei to play, but the miracle did not happen, Liu Yunfei's appearance in this game is completely no longer the courage of the Asian Cup, Betrayed Alihan's trust in him.
In the 18th minute of the game, the Iranian team's right-back Madavecchia actively assisted forward, with the first-class individual ability of the Asian team to get rid of the Chinese team Yu Hai and Sun Xiang's defense, close to the bottom line of a high-quality internal rotation ball, the Iranian team's "evergreen" Ali Daei jumped high outside the small penalty area, and pressed Zheng Zhi, who was 11 cm shorter than himself, to attack the goal, the ball jumped over Liu Yunfei's fingertips and flew into the net, and the Iranian team easily broke the deadlock on the field!
For this conceded goal, Huang Jianxiang, the commentator in CCTV's five studios, also felt helpless and said, "We used to think that Yu Hai's defense was very good, but that was only relative to the fullback, and Madavecchia has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, technology, experience and mental strength. Oh! And the left back Sun Xiang is strong in attack and weak in defense (Note 1), and his defensive ability is not as good as Yu Hai's full-back, so it's no wonder that both of them can't defend against the motor."
And the guest Tao Wei comforted himself a little, "The motor is very powerful, but our Ji Hai is also the top fullback in Asia, don't you think Alihan will change the formation?" Sending Xu Yunlong on the field to replace Sun Xiang, and letting Sun Jihai, who has a balanced offense and defense, play left back to curb the swing of the motor, which should be a good move. ”
Gao Jun on the field also secretly praised, "This adjustment is good, compared with the Asian Cup period, Alihan has really made great progress, the Football Association asked him to make a mistake at the beginning, but now it seems that this mistake has begun to correct itself"
After Sun Jihai, who has strong defensive ability, came to the left side, he teamed up with Yu Hai to barely block Madavecchia's attack, making it only possible to make some simple passes, and his more threatening crosses and long-range shots were difficult to swing again, but because they put too much energy into defense, it was difficult for these two people to put much energy into attack.
And even if Madavecchia has been basically limited now, but he alone has completely abolished the left side of the Chinese team's strongest attack, which is enough to show its terrifying strength, no wonder some people have always believed that if it were not for the poor importance of the position, the peak Madavecchia is fully qualified to be compared with Hidetoshi Nakata, the currently recognized Asian star
Note 1: Don't look at Sun Xiang's offense now, he relies on defense to gain a foothold in Evergrande, but when he debuted, he was a famous offensive fullback, but later he was seriously injured and old, and his body was not as good as before, and his offensive ability was basically abolished, but the defense is getting better and better with the accumulation of experience, which is why he has become Sun Xiang who is now strong and weak.
