936 This damn oppression!
The more the Japanese team wanted to play the effect of passing and controlling, the more Ye Yifeng had more and more confidence.
Playing in European football for many years, starting from the Bundesliga against the Munich sissies, to the infinite war with Barcelona, and then to the peak duel between the two heroes of Manchester City, Ye Yifeng has accumulated a lot of experience.
At the same time, he also understands the internal reasons for the direction of Japanese football in recent years.
Not to mention what football should be at its best.
Japan has set their sights on winning the World Cup, but only a positive technical and tactical style can produce more talented players.
At the same time, they are also well aware of the inherent shortcomings of Asian people's physical conditions.
How to make up for it?
Technology.
That's what textbooks tell every footballer.
But technology is in the service of tactics.
Tactically, they are still relatively conservative on the World Cup stage, and when they have a counter-attacking environment, the team can also play beautiful attacks and intuitive threats.
But once they lose the environment for defense and counterattack, they will also be ravaged by the world's strongest teams.
Back in Asia, they can completely overwhelm other opponents with their technical superiority.
There's no reason to give up that advantage and go on a defensive counter-attack.
But is the Japanese team really at a level of strength that can crush all opponents?
Not necessarily!
Oman, ranked 80th in the world, beat Japan four days ago.
The most crucial point of attacking tactics is the forward line, not the midfielder and defenders.
Manchester City has begun to decline in both European and civil wars in recent years, and the reason is in the forward line.
Looking at the stats, Manchester City have almost no losses to their opponents.
But the efficiency of the forward line and the performance in key moments are in stark contrast to the strong advantage that the team has built up in every game.
The Japanese team is now in a similar situation.
In Asia, they can suppress or restrain their opponents on the field, but for so many years, there has never been a killer in the front line who panics the opponents!
Shinji Okazaki, the most successful striker in Europe, is only a winger, not the most threatening center in front of goal.
When the Japanese team began to blast on the side, Ye Yifeng commanded two midfielders to assist in the defense, and he came to fill the position himself.
Wang Dalei also commanded two fullbacks to hold key positions, and the others had to help defend.
And he himself dared to expand the defensive range even when he was pressed by his opponent.
When Japan's through ball into the box, he made two decisive strikes in quick succession to stifle the opposition's attacking threat.
The performance is good.
The Chinese team's counterattack continued, but the forward line still couldn't pass Maya Yoshida and Kenhiro Fukuya, the strongest central defender combination in Asia!
Japanese fans in front of the TV were nervous.
Because they have a hunch that Ye Yifeng will enter the front court at any time to form a fatal blow!
The sense of oppression that comes with this panic is even more uncomfortable.
Even if Ye Yifeng only defends in the backcourt and organizes offensives, he hasn't killed yet.
But everyone knows that he is definitely not willing to be lonely, and the threat of waiting for the opportunity is the most unguardable.
When the Japanese team encountered the Chinese team's backfield slashing tactics, their attack began to pick up the tempo significantly, trying to avoid the Chinese team's players and use their speed to win.
Ye Yifeng's complementary defense played a key role, and the Japanese team was forced to play a long-range shot.
At the end of the half, Japan had 11 shots on goal and two hits.
The efficiency is impressive.
The Chinese team only had 1 shot on goal, which made people cry without tears.
On the way back to the dressing room, Lippi pondered how to adjust.
He knew that although the forward line was stronger than before.
But becoming stronger does not mean that you will be able to do earth-shattering things.
Judging from the performance in the first half, no matter how much these three forwards toss, I am afraid they will not be able to make waves in front of the Japanese goal.
Ye Yifeng is good in the backcourt, and the team can't do without him in the backcourt.
Compared to some of the drastic adjustments of the past, the situation was expected to bring immediate results to the game, and the conditions were not abundant today.
Although the Chinese team won the best game, not losing is the bottom line.
After pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea.
It's also thanks to the fact that the team also has a man who dominates European football.
Otherwise, he will definitely fall into a situation where he is helpless and his brain is blank.
Went back to the locker room to make adjustments in full swing, and then gave the team a chicken blood.
Blocked the Japanese team's offensive in the first half, and the opponent will inevitably strengthen the attack in the second half.
In fact, the Japanese team is in a worse situation than the Chinese team.
They had already suffered an upset defeat to Oman before they could even touch Australia.
If the Chinese team doesn't score 3 points, the top 12 will fall behind at the beginning.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Japanese team rushed to attack, the Chinese team had already prepared, and the team had gradually improved in the second half of the first half, although the players who could not count on the backfield to contribute to the attack, but the defense also found rhythm and feeling.
When the Chinese team controlled the ball and instigated a counterattack, Ye Yifeng still stayed in the backcourt to organize and instigate.
However, the Japanese team still noticed the changes in the Chinese team's attack.
In the first half, the Chinese team was brainless on the side, and crossed if they couldn't rush over.
In the second half, it was still a fast attack on the wing, but it was no longer brainless or forced to cross.
Luo Guofu came to the center position, but did the work of pulling the side fulcrum.
Whether it's Alan or Vulei, when he has the ball on the wing, he will run to pick it up.
The Japanese defense will naturally be tilted.
Originally, the Japanese team's defensive generals did not make a fuss.
But Maya Yoshida suddenly shouted to Shibasaki Yue: "Hurry up and force the steal ball!" ”
Shibasaki didn't know what was going on, but he hurriedly stepped forward to strengthen the pressing.
Kenhiro Fukuyasu also shouted to Endo Airlines: "Keep an eye on him!" Don't lose it! ”
The strongest centre-back duo in Asian football has begun to tingle the scalp!
Because in their sight, they have seen Ye Yifeng stepping through the midfield, even if Ye Yifeng does not have the speed to rush up, but after jogging into the front, the two central defenders of the Japanese team cannot ignore his presence.
The invisible pressure rises sharply!
Ye Yifeng is still far away from them, but he is moving from far to near!
This damn oppressive!
Wu Lei suddenly broke through on the side, and although he got rid of Shibasaki Yue's pressing, he was tripped and fell to the ground from behind by Yuto Nagatomo, who was returning to defense.
The referee blew the whistle and penalized Yuto Nagatomo for a foul.
Ye Yifeng walked up slowly, Wu Lei responded closely, and Luo Guofu and Alan were ready to scramble in the penalty area.
Ye Yifeng took a free kick from the side and immediately retreated after it was hoisted into the penalty area.
The pressure on the Japanese team's defense has suddenly eased!
But when the next wave of Chinese teams switched sides to play on the left, a similar scenario reappeared.
Alan controlled the ball on the left side, Luo Guofu approached to cooperate, when the Japanese team was partially encircled and suppressed, Ye Yifeng killed half the court, the speed was still not fast, and it seemed that the offensive will was not resolute!
But even so, the Japanese team did not dare to take risks!
There is no way to take Ye Yifeng without the ball, in case Ye Yifeng speeds up and inserts forward and receives the pass from his teammates, the impact of the defense line is playing with his life!
Whose life is played?
The life of the Japanese team!
As a result, the Japanese team's backcourt defense will suddenly increase the aggressiveness of pressing in a short period of time.
When Alain seized the opportunity to cut inside from Junya Ito, Endo immediately made up for the interception, and Alain scrambled to protect the ball and the opponent's pressing turned into a foul.
The Chinese team was given a direct free-kick opportunity from about 25 yards from goal.
Ye Yifeng came to the foul position, and there were still only four Chinese players in the frontcourt.
Two strikers enter the penalty area, one is near Ye Yifeng, and then Ye Yifeng takes a free kick.
This time he opted for a direct shot.
The soccer ball slid past the door.
It's scary to watch.
Missed the range of the door frame.
Ye Yifeng's face did not change color and quickly retreated.
Mori frowned on the sidelines.
I haven't seen what the Chinese team is going to do.
The counterattack was not as crisp as the first half, and although the quality of the counterattack in the first half was low and scary, at least the posture and direction of action were towards the Japanese team's goal.
Lippi's face was always heavy.
His fine-tuning in the midfield is to use Ye Yifeng's feint to intimidate the Japanese team's defense!
Either they can make the front line play a simple match, seize the flaws and penetrate the defensive line.
Either win a free kick opportunity and give Ye Yifeng a chance to hit the goal.
Although it is not as exciting as stud with your eyes closed.
But it's definitely more reliable than simply relying on three strikers to do it.
As the game wore on, Japan were forced to step up their attack to the limit, putting more pressure on the defence.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Yuto Nagatomo's cross from the left side flew over the penalty area, and no one hit the ball.
The football was controlled by Hisashi on the other side, and the Chinese full-back Wang Shenchao and Kim Jingdao went to force together, so Hisashi Anyeong reversed the ball and tried to find Junya Ito.
But before Junya Ito answered, Ye Yifeng preemptively killed diagonally in front of him, and took the ball away by the way!
Jun Ito immediately turned around and returned to defense, and went towards Ye Yifeng to commit a direct foul.
However, Ye Yifeng sent a through ball after 10 yards.
Alan ran quickly forward down the left flank and crossed diagonally into the middle when he met Endo.
Ye Yifeng immediately killed the half.
Lo swooped forward after possession of the ball in front of him.
Maya Yoshida and Kenyo Fukuya both saw Luo Guofu, and also noticed Ye Yifeng 20 yards away behind him!
When Luo Guofu slows down and controls the ball in the front area of the penalty area, he can pass it back, or he can pass the ball to Wu Lei, who is a fast runner and cuts inside.
And when protecting the ball, Shibasaki Yue was in a hurry and decisively put the shovel.
Luo Guofu didn't have time to pass the ball, so he changed direction to protect the ball.
Shibasaki failed to tackle the ball and instead shoveled Na Kunifu to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Shibasaki, and then gave him a yellow card.
A direct free kick approximately 20 yards from goal.
Ye Yifeng stood in front of the football again.
The referee blows the whistle.
Ye Yifeng helped to run, swinging his arms to support his legs, and he did it in one go.
The soccer ball takes off from the ground, passes over the right edge of the wall, and then begins to spin and fall rapidly!
Goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda made a quick run from close to the far post to the left post.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, he made a save even if it was not in place.
And even if he made a save, he didn't shorten the distance to the football much.
Because the arc of the ball hit by Ye Yifeng is extremely exaggerated!
When the ball flew into the top left corner of the goal, the Japanese team felt like five thunderbolts!
Mori was stunned!
The Chinese team, which had no chance, was stunned to break the deadlock on the field by continuously hitting set-pieces!
