Chapter 331: A Dilemma
Since Hong Kong, China got the ball, Saudi Arabia's national radio commentator Riori has been seriously commenting the game, talking about every player who gets the ball from Hong Kong, China, and constantly reminding Saudi Arabia to be careful of Hong Kong, China's offensive.
"Hong Kong, China is fighting very steadily, and they are likely to attack suddenly!"
"That's how Manchester City in the Premier League keeps passing and receiving the ball and then launching a surprise attack! The speed of their attack made many European powerhouses unable to react. ”
"Saudi Arabia beware! Be careful! ”
Thinking back to what he just said, and looking at Hong Kong's completely offensive style of play on the court, Rio felt like an idiot...... He was tricked by the style of play in Hong Kong, China!
Saudi Arabia coach Anjos has already seen the problem, and he has found that Hong Kong is just killing time.
He rested his arms on his knees and watched the game naturally, trying to make sure he was right.
Then he moved his gaze to the other side of the Hong Kong, China coach's seat.
"That Chinese, just plan to spend time like this?" Thinking of this, Anjos gritted his teeth.
At this time, Wan Sheng was very steady in his seat, with a relaxed smile on his face.
Of course, it is impossible for Hong Kong, China to completely imitate Manchester City's "OS-F" control system to play, Manchester City adapted to that set of tactics, it took several months, not to mention Hong Kong, China, and even, even if Hong Kong, China is given time, the technical ability of the players in the team is insufficient, and even if they adapt, the tactics do not have much effect.
On the field now, Hong Kong, China can only play a 'simplified version of the OS-F defensive system'.
'OS-F' is a mature tactical system of Manchester City, which focuses on controlling the flow of fast attack, attacking quickly and defending with full offense and defense, and the control flow play is mainly aimed at rhythm control. It takes a long time for a strong team to adapt to such a tactical system, and fully adapting to the tactics means that the team has a fixed style of play.
This tactic is naturally not easy to adapt.
In terms of strength, Hong Kong, China is not qualified to play such tactics, because the technical strength of the players is not up to par. If you make mistakes in passing and coordination, you won't be able to play any tactics.
So Wansheng only intercepted a small part - the OS-F defensive system...... A simplified version of the .
To put it bluntly, when the player is in possession and there is no danger, he constantly passes and receives the ball in the backfield to kill the game time.
It's disgusting.
If the opponent doesn't come up with a few players to press, Hong Kong, China can continue to pass and receive the ball in the backfield, and don't care about attacking or not.
If the opposing team comes up with a few players to press, then the team can choose to pass the ball forward, but not too far forward.
Wansheng considers the strength of the team. The team's offense relies more on quick counter-attacks.
As for playing the front...... It's good to kill time, otherwise the lineup will press up, and a small mistake will be equivalent to giving Saudi Arabia a chance to counterattack, so that the team's backcourt defense will be dangerous.
In short, it's all about defense.
As long as you guarantee defense, you can guarantee everything, as for this tactic is despicable or something...... It's the final of the Asian Cup!
Finals!
The final is unscrupulous, and it doesn't matter what means you use. It doesn't matter if the other person says 'mean' or something, it's all about winning the game.
Anyway, the pass is not fouled. Since the opponent doesn't come up to grab it, it's good to keep passing the ball.
The key purpose of this style of play is to kill time and at the same time to wear down the opponent's patience, and the second is to force the opponent to take the initiative to attack and take the initiative to press the whole court, and only the opponent does this. The team got more chances to counter-attack.
It's okay if the opponent is not 'led', then wait for the time to be consumed little by little, and finally go to fight for penalties, Wansheng is not afraid, and there is the active effect of 'strong barriers'. Improving the goalkeeper's 100% reaction speed, and the attacking coach MAX perfect technique 'shooting' to improve the player's shot evaluation value and accurate correction, the penalty team has a great chance of winning, at least much more than playing a head-to-head chance.
Therefore, the game was dragged into a penalty shootout, which is what Wansheng wants to see, and Hong Kong, China does not need to be in a hurry at all, so it will slowly consume time.
Therefore, when formulating tactics, Wansheng emphasized to the players that they should try to delay time without pressure.
Saudi Arabia will definitely not be willing to play a penalty shootout with Hong Kong, China, they must very much want to score, so they will not watch Da Nang, China drag on time, they will take the initiative to come up and force, then the initiative will fall into the hands of Hong Kong, China.
It's as simple as that.
It seems shameless to fight like this, but it's nothing to be shameless for the sake of victory, and Wansheng won't care what the media thinks.
To win!
Play hard!
As long as you can win, everything will not be a problem, but if you lose, there is no point in saying anything.
――――
Hong Kong, China wants to count on the backcourt players to drag out the time, and it is impossible to drag it until the end of the game, but how long can it be delayed, and the longer the time, there will be less time left for Saudi Arabia, and the pressure on the defense will be less.
Many commentators were dumbfounded when they saw Hong Kong, China constantly passing the ball in the backfield, and they didn't know what to say.
In football, procrastination is common, but it starts out...... It's the first time I've seen it, and such a straightforward approach to procrastination still makes people smile bitterly.
Hong Kong, China seems to be using the style of play to tell everyone, "We are just delaying time!" ”
That's ridiculous!
But the point is that Hong Kong, China did not violate the rules, and the referee could not say anything.
Many people can only curse in their hearts, "It's so shameless!" ”
Saudi Arabia's state radio commentator Riori can only say, "Hong Kong, China has no intention of attacking, so it has been constantly falling in the backfield......"
Hong Kong, China, fans, also feel very strange when they see Hong Kong, China's style of play.
However, the commentators who support Hong Kong, China, will not say anything, but continue to support Hong Kong, China.
Liu Jianhong, a CCTV commentator, said, "Hong Kong, China's method is very good, it is difficult for them to break through the Saudi Arabian defense with a frontal attack, and if they attack too far forward, there will be a threat to the defense." They do it smartly. ”
Saudi fans also saw that they were shocked by the 'shamelessness' of Hong Kong, China, and it was the first time they had seen such a team with no lower limit, so they let out a 'boo' sound in the stands.
This simply does not affect Hong Kong, China.
Wan Sheng has already done the corresponding 'ideological education' for the players, telling them that the game should be unscrupulous, and the opposing fans don't care about what they do. It's just how they play or how they play.
In short, try to win as much as possible!
Whenever I think that I will be the champion by persevering until the end, the Hong Kong players are even more motivated.
The 'boo' of the opposing fans was considered by them to be the helpless sound of the other party, which made them play more smoothly.
――――
After a while, everyone knew what Hong Kong was doing.
As a result, many media supporting Saudi Arabia are not calm, and some media that were looking forward to the so-called 'technical flow confrontation' are not calm, but it is the Saudi players who are the least calm.
They are playing against Hong Kong, China, and it is impossible to let Hong Kong, China pass the time in the backcourt like this. At first, they only wanted Yashir and Malik to press the two forwards, but they soon found that it was a bit of a fantasy to rely on the two of them to grab the ball at the feet of five or six Hong Kong players plus a goalkeeper.
As a result, several midfielders tentatively passed the half, ready to put some pressure on Hong Kong.
When there are more than four Saudi players in the front, it is very dangerous to continue passing.
At this time, Hong Kong, China also started to attack, and Liu Quankun passed the ball to Chen Weihao. Chen Weihao passed to Zhuo Zhuo's feet in front again.
Zhuo Zhuo took the ball, and the Hong Kong team sounded the horn of attack!
Until this time. The media commentators from all walks of life determined that Hong Kong, China was really going to attack, but in their expectations, Hong Kong, China did not really attack, and only Zhuo Zhuo, Chen Zhaoji and Chen Weihao, a side roader, participated in the attack.
The abilities of the three are not so outstanding. One can imagine how much of a threat it can create to the Saudi defense.
After a two-foot pass, the football was snatched up by the Saudi players, and the Saudis immediately attacked.
In the face of the Saudi attack, Hong Kong, China did not panic. When they attacked just now, they didn't attack at all, the midfielders only crossed the halfway line, and the backfield players were completely watching from behind, and there was no intention of going up to help at all, and Hong Kong, China's formation was maintained very well.
So Saudi Arabia's idea of breaking the ball and attacking quickly has become a complete fantasy.
They can only bite the bullet and look for opportunities to break through the defense of Hong Kong, China, but it is not easy to break through the defense of Hong Kong, China.
Soon the football was at the feet of Hong Kong, China, and Hong Kong took the opportunity to launch a wave of fast attacks, Zhuo Zhuo took the ball forward quickly, shook off Saudi defender Al-Hedari with a change of direction, and then burst into the box to complete a dangerous shot.
The football almost grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds, shocking the entire Saudi team in a cold sweat.
It's too dangerous!
"In the 16th minute of the game, Zhuo Zhuo! He had a very dangerous shot! ”
Looking at this shot and recalling the entire counterattack process of Hong Kong, China, I don't know why, many Saudi players remembered what Wan Sheng said in front of the media before the game.
"Their defense is a problem, there is a saying in football that 'defense wins' and I think the key to beating Saudi Arabia is the defense of the opponent."
This sentence kept echoing in my ears.
Some Saudi players felt that they really had to pay more attention to their defense during the game.
With Saudi Arabia's goal kick, the game continued, Saudi Arabia's offense is still very standard, they have been playing until now, has always adhered to Saudi Arabia's unique full attack and defense football, their style is still very interesting in Asia, many Indonesian neutral fans, are constantly cheering for Saudi Arabia's wonderful performance in the attack.
But it was not easy for Saudi Arabia to rely on a flashy offensive to break through Hong Kong's defense, and soon the Saudi attack came to an end with a 'shot' that was almost kicked out of bounds.
Then Hong Kong, China, began to fall again.
At this time, the Saudi players did not know what to do.
Thinking about the speed shown by the opposing black forwards before, they were worried that pressing up would give the opponent a chance, and some players felt that they should pay attention to the defense, but if they didn't press it, the opponent kept killing time with their feet backwards.
Saudi players face a dilemma.
The most important thing is that if you press up, the style of play is not in line with the tactics formulated by head coach Anjos, their tactics are mainly to attack and defend, attack when attacking, defend when defense, and do not want to press on a large scale and carry out tight full-court pressing, which is easy to give the opponent a chance.
However, it is definitely not possible to keep the other party like this without pressing.
What a dilemma!
A number of Saudi players have looked to the sidelines, hoping for some instructions from head coach Anyos.
――――
After nearly 20 minutes of play, Saudi Arabia coach Anjos has already played the right to see clearly.
Hong Kong, China's tactics, to put it bluntly, want to force Saudi Arabia to press all over the court and force Saudi Arabia to attack in a big way, so that they can play a steady defensive counterattack.
If we follow the 'persecution' of Hong Kong, China, then Saudi Arabia will be in a passive position, because their tactics are equivalent to being disrupted, even if they attack on a large scale and press the whole court, it will be difficult to make the attack play better, but because the tactics are disrupted, the threat of the attack will be affected.
At the same time, Hong Kong, China has gained the initiative, they can defend safely and securely in the backcourt, and play counterattacks safely.
In this way, Saudi Arabia's tactics are passive, completely inconsistent with what was formulated before the game.
No manager wants the tactics to be disrupted in the game, and no manager wants the initiative to be in the hands of the opposition.
It's the same with Anyos.
But the key problem is that there is really nothing he can do in the face of such a 'shameless' style of play in Hong Kong, China.
If you want to force Hong Kong, China to attack, you can only let the players step forward, and then it will become a front-court pressing, and the tactics and formation will definitely be affected, and after a few times, the tactics will not be considered tactics.
At the same time, Anjos didn't want to waste time with Hong Kong.
If the game goes on like this, it will be too difficult for Saudi Arabia to score and not be able to end the game in 90 minutes, which means that the probability of 120 minutes is even lower, so the two teams will fight for penalties at the end?
No!
Definitely not!
Anjos suddenly understood South Korea coach Verbeek.
When Hong Kong, China defeated South Korea, many media were saying that Verbeek's tactical ability was too different from Wansheng, and when South Korea and Hong Kong, China played, Verbeek did not see through the defensive holes of Hong Kong, China, so that South Korea's offense gained little and did not score a single goal in the whole game.
Now that Saudi Arabia is playing against Hong Kong, China, he is also stymied by tactics.
That Chinese is indeed very capable!
Hong Kong's 'shamelessness' led him to face a dilemma, whether to let go and let the team press all over the court and attack aggressively, or just waste time with the opponent?
What to do?
Anjos hesitated.
The only consolation for him is that the team does not have to worry much about defense for the time being, and no matter how 'shameless' Hong Kong's style of play is, it cannot pose a threat to the Saudi goal. (To be continued.) )
