Perhaps Cahill's words and arrogant attitude will make Chinese fans very unhappy - everyone can hear his off-string voices - but in fact, Cahill is not wrong, the strength of the Chinese team is really not strong enough, which is the most unpleasant thing for everyone, that is, you know that the other party is humiliating you, and you can't argue with it, because what he said is right......

It's a super unpleasant feeling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Five minutes into the semi-final, Harry Colwill opened the scoring for Australia.

Colwill is a year older than Australia's current star Gary Cahill, but he became famous much earlier than Cahill, when the white-clad Leeds youth army set off a youth guard storm in English football and Europe, the likes of Cahill, Viduka and Rio Ferdinand were highly regarded in the team, and Colwill also entered the field of vision of Chinese fans.

He went on to win the Champions League with Liverpool and was the first Australian-born player to win the competition.

However, with the impact of injuries, his performances have gone high and low, and he has now left the mainstream of European football. Today, he plays for Turkish side Galatasaray, which is clearly not the centre of European football.

Although Colwill has been plagued by injuries, the level is still there.

You can see it in the goal he just scored.

With a beautiful left-footed curling ball, the football broke through Yang Zhi's ten fingers and flew into the Chinese team's goal.

Trailing by one goal in just five minutes of the opening game was a huge blow to the Chinese team.

When many players scored in Australia, they put their heads in their hands and showed expressions of great disappointment.

Zhou Yi looked calm.

They were bitter and disappointed because of an accident, they didn't expect Australia to score so early.

But Zhou Yi has simulated many scenes in the virtual world, and he has also experienced situations like this.

Given Australia's strength, it's no surprise that this can be done.

Anyway, in those simulated games, the Chinese team lost more than won against Australia.

Although Cahill was a little unpleasant, he did tell the truth.

The overall strength of the Chinese team is indeed not strong.

However, Zhou Yi believes that the strength is not absolutely proportional to the victory or defeat of the game.

The key is to play on the spot.

It's actually good to concede the goal early, at least the Chinese team has a lot of time to equalize. If it's over with five minutes left, then it's time to cry.

Now the main thing is that Australia cannot be allowed to score consecutive goals in a short period of time, which will be a devastating blow to the morale and confidence of the Chinese team.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi raised his hands, and then slapped hard, he kept patting until more and more teammates raised their heads and looked at him.

'We've got 85 minutes to do something, so it's not a big deal to concede a goal now. Next, we need to be vigilant, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, and they must hold on when the time comes. You don't need to panic when handling the ball, you can be decisive and simple, if you don't know where to pass the ball...... Pass it to me!"

In a somewhat noisy environment, Zhou Yi's voice reached the ears of every Chinese team player.

Although Zhou Yi is the youngest in this national team, when he says this, no one will question and oppose him, but will listen to him involuntarily, and feel relieved that he can stand up and speak.

It's like you suddenly know what to do in a daze.

Because Zhou Yi didn't just say some nice words, he also gave a very practical solution in the end - if you don't know where to pass the ball, pass it to him!

Gao Hongbo, who was very anxious after losing the ball, also planned to shout something to the players on the sidelines, but when he saw Zhou Yi speaking in the crowd, he dispelled this idea.

Although he didn't hear what Zhou Yi said at all, he could see the performance of the other players, who stared at Zhou Yi intently, forgetting the anxiety and nervousness after losing the ball.

In fact, what he said on the sidelines was also to let the players put down their nervousness and not take the ball to heart.

Now that Zhou Yi has finished his job, what is he wasting saliva for?

So he turned and sat back.

When the game resumed, as Zhou Yi said, Australia, which had a one-goal lead, launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

If the Chinese team is still immersed in the frustration and frustration after conceding the goal, it is inevitable that there will be a lack of concentration in the fierce competition.

It's easy to concede a goal at this point.

This is not uncommon in football.

Australia also intends to use such an opportunity to extend its lead.

It's just that I didn't expect that Zhou Yi's words would calm down the players of the Chinese team, and in the face of Australia's aggressive offensive, they handled the ball very decisively.

And what if you have the ball at your feet, but you are facing the siege of Australia, what do you do?

They will think of Zhou Yi's words - "Pass the ball to me!"

So they passed the football to Zhou Yi.

And it's really remarkable to say, because no matter where that player gets the ball, he doesn't have to have a lot of trouble to find Zhou Yi and has a relatively easy passing route with him.

Zhou Yi is almost everywhere on the court.

Those of them who play on the pitch will be shocked, but not as much as the onlookers.

Whether it is the audience, the coach in the coach's box, the reporters in the media, the commentator in the commentary box, or the audience in front of the TV, they can all see that in the onslaught of Australia, Zhou Yi is the most active person in the Chinese team, he is running non-stop, non-stop.

Sometimes it's a sprint, most of the time it's a jog, and I didn't see him stop and watch the play on the pitch with his hands on his hips.

It is his tireless, completely non-stop running that always shows up where it should be, then catches the ball and moves the ball out of the danger zone. If you can organise the attack, you can organise it, and if you can't, just send the ball straight to the front with a long pass, harass Australia, and let them not press the attack unscrupulously.

Not to mention, this approach still works.

In the face of Australia's aggressive offensive, the Chinese team's pass-and-control play is like a dense and tenacious net, Australia's fist is swung up, it is caught by the net, the soft net looks not as solid as the wall, but it can dissolve the power of the fist, so that the person who swings the fist feels like a stone sinking into the sea, and it can't be sent out at all.

As a midfielder, Zhou Yi is indeed not the kind of defensive midfielder who can cut off the opponent's ball in one-on-one and make beautiful and accurate tackles in defense.

Zhou Yi himself once thought that he would not be able to defend, because he had never participated in defense when he played as a striker before.

However, after coming to Dortmund, especially after being promoted to the first team, defense is also a very important part of training, and Klopp still attaches great importance to it, so he also began to learn to defend. It's just that he always thinks that his defense is more of a show, in order to show his correct and positive attitude in front of the manager, and it can't really play a defensive role.

But this season, Zhou Yi has a different view on this.

Especially after a couple of games where he was off and the team conceded a goal.

If you can't defend well, come down and replace yourself with a defensive midfielder, it stands to reason that the team's defense should be better, why did you concede the goal instead?

Zhou Yi began to re-understand the concept of "defense".

It's not like before, it's simply that defense is what defenders and midfielders do, defense is tackles, tackles, hand-to-hand combat, and positioning.

In fact, defense does not refer to a specific number of technical moves, but a tactical concept.

Stealing the ball directly from the opponent's feet in a one-on-one is considered defense. But also using the overall advantage to control football on the side of his own team, not giving the opponent more and better offensive opportunities, Zhou Yi believes that it is also a kind of defense.

Shrinking in one's own 30-meter area is naturally considered defense, and expanding the formation and turning the football upside down, not letting the football fall to the opponent's feet, isn't it defense?

Zhou Yi thinks the same is defense.

And this kind of defense is an active defense compared to being compressed by the opponent in a 30-meter area. The initiative is in your own hands, there is no chance, or when the opportunity is not good, that is the defense, once there is a good opportunity, it can be immediately transformed into a deadly attack, directly kill the opponent, and completely end this defensive situation.

However, the premise of this is that the team must have one or several core players who are clear-headed, and the whole team must have good passing and receiving skills.

Thanks to Gao Hongbo's blessing, the current Chinese team can barely meet such requirements.

Because Gao Hongbo's coaching philosophy is based on transmission and control. Some people say that he is a copycat of Barcelona, but Barcelona is now the most successful club in the world, and Spain has won the European Championship and the World Cup with Barcelona football as the team, so there is no problem with copycat Barcelona.

The key is that the manager has a clear mind and knows what tactics to play, so when selecting people, he will naturally choose players who are capable in this area. The players in this national team are already the top in the country in terms of passing and receiving skills.

Coupled with the various passes and catches emphasized by Gao Hongbo in training, it is often seen that Gao Jiajun's Chinese team can play a coherent and smooth pass in the midfield, and various triangle passes.

With such a passing and receiving foundation, plus a Zhou Yi with a vision of ninety-nine...... They can really pass 30 kicks in a row without getting broken.

In the team training, grabbing the circle "teasing monkey" is actually a kind of training to pass the ball quickly in the case of pressing. The players of Barcelona and Spain love to have this kind of training with entertainment. Gao Jiajun, who emphasizes passing and cutting and running as a cooperation, naturally cannot practice often.

With Zhou Yi's connection everywhere, the Chinese team's passing and control play was very smooth, so soon Australia found that the situation was not what they imagined.

As long as the possession of the ball falls to the feet of the Chinese team, it will be difficult to grab it unless it is fouled, and the Chinese team still has the strength to counterattack.

Australia knows that if they continue to play like this, let alone score another one, they are in danger of conceding a goal.

So they also adjusted their tactics, slowed down the tempo, and stopped chasing consecutive goals in a short period of time.

The alert for the Chinese team has been lifted temporarily......
