At half-time, both TV stations made analysis and comments on the first half of the game, while predicting changes in the second half. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The guests in the rear studio on the Chinese side all questioned Gao Hongbo's employment, and at this time, they did not mention the doubts caused by Gao Hongbo after recruiting five National Olympic newcomers in one go......

Here in the Japanese studio, the host and guests started with last year's Asian Cup final. The Chinese team in the Asian Cup final did not have Zhou Yi, but forced the Japanese team to feel a little uncomfortable, why did the Chinese team fail to create any trouble for the Japanese team with Zhou Yi in this game?

Does this mean that even with Zhou Yi, the Chinese team is not too strong an opponent, so there is no need to be overly nervous?

Some people also mentioned the problem of the national Olympic youngster, He Ying's performance in the Olympics left a very deep impression on the Japanese media, the counterattack was sharp, the ball was steady, and the shot was decisive and accurate, but today in the first half of his few few balls, these advantages were not visible.

Everyone discussed and discussed the forum, feeling that they had exaggerated the strength of the Chinese team before, and were frightened by the performance of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup and the Olympic Games, but in fact, in a game like the top ten, the Chinese team could not compete with the Japanese team that went all out. Japan's most important opponent in this group is Australia.

The last guest said, "...... We have to know that although the Chinese team now has a few players who play in Europe, it looks good. However, the other players of the Chinese team are all players who train and play in China, and their individual abilities have been constrained by the overall level of Chinese football, and their improvement has been limited. And football is not a game where one or two people can decide the outcome of the game, it depends on the team, even if China has such an outstanding player as Zhou Yi, but there is no team that can match him, which is actually the sadness of Zhou Yi and Chinese football. ”

Special "humanistic care".

In the locker room of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo is making adjustments to the team, and he is going to make a substitution.

But he did not replace Li Fengwei, who caused a goal in the first half, but replaced the defender Lu Peng.

This substitution adjustment is actually not unexpected, even Lu Peng himself is not surprised.

Because although the goal conceded in the first half was scored by Shinji Kagawa who broke through Li Fengwei's shot, it was actually Lu Peng who was not in his position at a critical time. And Shinji Kagawa's activity in the first half was also related to Lu Peng's lack of restrictions on him.

So if you want to adjust, Lu Peng, who is not performing well, will of course be replaced.

So who is going to be replaced?

Yang Muge.

The usually unobtrusive midfielder won the jackpot and is about to make his first official international match of his career.

At the beginning, he was only a marginal figure in the youth team of domestic clubs, and his club teammates and coaches at the beginning probably did not expect that the child who was taciturn and was evaluated by them as "lacking aggression and lethality" would have this day, right?

Yang Muge got the opportunity to represent the national team, but Guo Nu did not.

Li Fengwei was not substituted, and Gao Hongbo did not make any personnel adjustments to the back line, but just asked the players to echo each other, keep their actions unified, and not be distracted, but also not panic.

After the intermission, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge walked to the court together, communicating while walking, Zhou Yi told Yang Muge what he observed on the court, reminding him what to pay attention to in the game.

“...... Don't just focus on Shinji Kagawa, they also have Makoto Hasebe, Keisuke Honda, and Shinji Okazaki in the midfield. ”

Yang Muge nodded, indicating that he knew.

While the two were talking, they met the players of the Japanese team in the players' tunnel, Shinji Kagawa and Keisuke Honda, who also came out chatting and walked out.

After seeing Zhou Yi, Shinji Kagawa walked up and asked him with a serious expression, "Zhou San, why didn't you respond to my challenge?"

Zhou Yi grinned and said, "You have read too many hot-blooded comics? Football matches are not boxing, two people can decide the outcome of the game one-on-one." Football is a team sport, a team sport, you know?"

Faced with Zhou Yi's lesson, Shinji Kagawa didn't get angry, but laughed: "It's really worthy of the Zhou Sang I know, still so calm." But Zhou Sang, football also needs blood, and your performance in the first half was too tepid, including you. ”

Zhou Yi stretched out his hands: "The agitation method is useless to me, Kagawa." We'll see in the second half. ”

After speaking, he took Yang Muge and left.

"What is he talking to you about?" Yang Muge asked, because Zhou Yi and Kagawa Shinji were communicating in German the whole time, so he didn't understand.

"He tried to play psychological warfare on me, but I defused it. Hmph, am I the one who is so easily disturbed by him!" Zhou Yi said proudly.

Yang Muge nodded beside him: "That's right, your heart is so dirty, who has played psychological warfare against you." ”

"Hey, Lao Yang, why don't you learn this from Panpan, the one who is close to ink is black!"

"But Zhou Yi, geographically speaking, Schalke is the closest to Dortmund. ”

"......" Zhou Yi was so choked by Yang Muge that he couldn't speak.

On the other side, Keisuke Honda, who doesn't understand German, is also asking Shinji Kagawa, "What are you talking about?"

"I wanted to stimulate Zhou Sang, but he wasn't fooled. Shinji Kagawa said honestly. "If he stays calm, it's not good for us. ”

"Zhou Yi is really powerful, but I don't think the Chinese team can rely on him alone, the rest of them are too far away from Zhou Yi, they are not in the same world, and the channel is not right. Keisuke Honda has some respect for Zhou Yi, but he has some disdain for other Chinese players.

"Can't say that, Honda-san. Shinji Kagawa shook his head in disapproval, "Did you see the player standing next to Zhou Sang just now?"

"See, what's your name...... It's a back waist anyway. Honda said nonchalantly.

"Don't underestimate him, or you'll be out of luck. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I know. Keisuke Honda said in a nonchalant tone.

Shinji Kagawa knows what he is saying now, and Keisuke Honda probably won't believe it, so let football tell him the answer.

Before the second half of the game began, the players of both sides were already on the pitch. The fourth official walked to the sidelines and held up a sign to signal the Chinese team to make a substitution. But no one was standing next to him, the people had already been replaced, and now holding up the sign was equivalent to making a note.

At the same time, the screen of the live TV broadcast also played the information of the Chinese team's substitution.

"The Chinese team made adjustments at halftime, replaced the back Lu Peng, made a counterpoint substitution, and replaced it with a back midfielder, Yang Muge, a young player who is currently playing for Schalke 04. Liu Hong introduced to the audience in front of the TV.

At the same time, the Japanese commentator is also introducing Yang Muge: "Yang Muge plays in the Schalke 04 club, and is currently the main defender of Schalke 04...... But I think it's just a simple substitution, I'm afraid it won't achieve the effect he wants. In terms of numbers, the Chinese team still has four people in the midfield, and there is no numerical advantage, even if Yang Muge is outstanding, it is difficult to cover all the areas of their defenders. I think they should replace He Ying, who is average, so that there are five people in the midfield, two of whom are defenders, so that we can contain our midfield ...... a little."

The Japanese have always had a psychological advantage over their midfield, as Japan has a high quality of midfielders.

On the domestic Internet, although Chinese fans are happy about Yang Muge's appearance, they also have a question: "Why don't you replace Li Fengwei and let Guo be angry?"

"Poor Guo Nu, forgotten!"

Because Yang Muge was already on the field, he didn't have to wait for the players to be exchanged, and the fourth official returned to his position after holding the sign, while the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half of the game.

After the start of the game, the Japanese team continued to adopt the tactics of the first half, taking advantage of their home game and midfield to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's penalty area.

In the eyes of Japanese reporters, the draw between the two teams in the midfield, the Chinese team can only get the hand of Zhou Yi, no matter how powerful Zhou Yi is, it is impossible to fight against so many outstanding midfielders of our Japanese team by himself, right?

In the first half, Endo's defense of Zhou Yi was successful, which is very telling.

But it didn't take long for the start of the second half for the Japanese team to notice that things had changed.

It has not been so easy for them to organize the ball in the midfield or threaten the Chinese team's goal with attacks.

Why is this so?

Quite simply, because the Chinese team came up with a low-key but tough midfielder.

Yang Muge took his own characteristics to the extreme, he kept running in the midfield, always appeared in the most critical positions, and then used his faster kick speed to poke the ball away from the feet of the Japanese players.

The Japanese commentator previously thought that Yang Muge's transfer to the back could not cover all the areas in front of the Chinese team's backline.

But ten minutes after Yang Muge came on the court, he saw how Yang Muge was covered without dead ends.

He doesn't look physically strong, but his running ability is very good, as if there is no area in the backfield that he can't cover.

The midfielders of the Japanese team also learned Yang Muge's power.

Keisuke Honda bore the brunt of the attack.

Shinji Kagawa knew that Yang Muge was powerful, so he tried to minimize the time he spent holding the ball at his feet. However, Keisuke Honda relied on his personal ability to frequently attack the defense of the Chinese team with the ball, hoping to disrupt the defense of the Chinese team and then pass the football to the deadly zone. That's how he got the ball in the first half with the assist for Shinji Kagawa.

But when he ran into Yang Muge, he found that his dribbling was difficult to threaten anymore, and the sharp knife seemed to be wrapped in a soft but tough net, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut the net. On the contrary, the more he exerted his strength, the tighter the net became, and at last he could not move at all.

And every time he was annoyed after he planted a heel on Yang Muge's side, he looked at Yang Muge's expression again, but there were no waves, calm as water, as if nothing had happened just now, and the excitement after stopping the Japanese team's attack could not be seen from his face at all, as if everything was taken for granted.

This poker face really made Keisuke Honda feel really unhappy. (To be continued.) )
