……

Mori Boichi stood on the sidelines and secretly sweated.

Don't look at his facial expression just now, he looks relaxed, but he is still very nervous in his heart.

He knows all too well the consequences of falling behind the Chinese team.

To be precise, he knows Zheng Yaxin's goalkeeping ability too well.

Because of the information transmitted by Tomiyasu Kenhiro, Zheng Yaxin's ability has no secrets here in Mori Hoichi, and the inability to break through the onslaught in the opening fifteen minutes also proves this ability.

Zheng Yaxin's goal is not so easy to break!

If the Japanese team is really awarded a penalty, then the game is probably gone.

Football matches are like this, even if you are the stronger team, even if you are well prepared before the game, but when you really get to the field, there are many factors that determine the outcome of the game, such as the player's on-the-spot performance, luck, referee factors, and even the mistakes of the goalkeepers of both sides, can determine the outcome of a game.

Therefore, for a head coach, how to improve the team's tolerance rate is the most important thing.

Mori Bao glanced at the next place imperceptibly, and found that the coach of the Chinese team, Dapeng, was very dissatisfied with the penalty and was protesting against the fourth official on the sidelines.

Seeing this scene, Mori Baoyi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little luck in his heart.

However, even he didn't realize that his expression at this moment had already shown that the Chinese team was a threat to Japan and had the ability to win this game.

"The Japanese team escaped!"

"This goal, 100 percent penalty!"

"The referee probably took into account that this was the first threatening attack of the Chinese team, and awarded the penalty very carefully."

In the live broadcast room of Gugu Sports, Director Zhan sighed.

"That's right, I can only keep playing."

"I hope the players don't get affected by this decision." Director Zhang nodded, it was indeed a penalty just now, and after the referee hesitated, he did not award a penalty.

In fact, this is normal, from the beginning to the present, the Japanese team's offensive wave after wave, firmly occupying the situation on the field, the Chinese team has almost no chance.

In this case, if the Chinese team relies on counterattacks to score directly, it is okay to say, but if it is to score by winning a penalty and then leading the Japanese team, it will put the referee under the pressure of manipulating the game.

So this kind of ball, the referee blows it, and there is no way to blow it.

After all, on the court, the referee's will is the greatest.

"Director Zhang thinks that how long can the Japanese team's high-pressure situation last? Does the national football team have a chance to win this game? ”

Seeing the resumption of the game, Director Zhan couldn't help but ask Director Zhang.

"If you have a chance, the physical fitness of the Japanese team can no longer be maintained, and if you continue to press like this, you will collapse first."

"The tactics of the national football team in this game are very right, although the Japanese team has more shooting opportunities, it is difficult to test Zheng Yaxin."

"I have to say that Xiao Zheng's goalkeeping reaction is really powerful."

"It is said that when the Arsenal team is training, the ball shot by the ball machine cannot break through Zheng Yaxin's ten fingers."

This is another insider business.

Director Zhan had never heard of it before, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of something.

"Then this information, the Japanese team must know, Tomiyasu Kenhiro is also an Arsenal player, and he trains with Zheng Yaxin every day."

Director Zhang nodded: "That's right, this may be one of the reasons why the Japanese team adopts a high-pressure style of play in this game, because it is difficult to test Zheng Yaxin with conventional shots." ”

"Looking at it now, in this game, the national football team should win the draw, whether it can win depends on whether the Japanese team will give it a chance next."

"Of course, if the Japanese team wants to win the national football team, they have to ask Xiao Zheng if he agrees."

on the pitch.

Dapeng communicated with the fourth referee to no avail, and returned to the coaching area in a huff.

On the other side, Mori Boichi stood on the sidelines, shouting the names of the players, signaling them to temporarily shrink the defense, slow down a little, and not continue to suppress the Chinese team, and at the same time asked the midfielders to pay attention to defensive actions, try not to foul in the backfield, and not give the Chinese team a free kick opportunity.

All these arrangements show Mori's intentions.

The Japanese team did not have a problem with the Chinese team and Zheng Yaxin, but it was not so easy for the Chinese team to break through the door of the Japanese team!

Let's spend it, everybody.

In fact, the pressure on the Mori Ho family is not as great as it seems to the outside world.

After all, he coaches the Japanese team, the Japanese team ranked No. 1 in Asia!

Even if it was an upset loss to Oman in the first round, and even if it was unable to win the Chinese team in the second round, there was no pressure on the Japanese team to qualify.

There are ten rounds in the top 12, and the full score is 30 points, normally speaking, if you score 17-20 points in this series, you can safely enter the top three (the top two will qualify directly, and the third place will play the play-offs).

In other words, the Japanese team has at least 4 games of room to make mistakes.

It's only the first two games, and I don't panic at all.

The reason why Mori Baoichi adopted such an aggressive style of play is actually to touch the bottom of the Chinese team.

You must know that the top 12 matches are two-legged (two legs with the other five group opponents, a total of ten games), and after figuring out the details of the Chinese team in this game, the tactics of the next game are very well arranged.

This is also a common strategy for strong teams to play the knockout round.

This is also why in two-legged knockout rounds (such as the Champions League), strong teams are rarely upset, and it is shocking news that the dark horses can qualify from the group.

In single-legged knockout rounds (such as the World Cup), strong teams are often upset, and there are often dark horses that reach the final four of the World Cup and even the finals.

The difference is between a single round and a double round. There is no room for error in a single round, and if you make a mistake, you will lose, and the two-round format has a much higher margin for error, and the strong teams will usually find out the details of their opponents in the first round, and then they can be more comfortable in the second round. Put an end to the unpopular.

Shifting the scene to this Top 12, then that's how it is. Although Oman won against Japan in the first game, it is predictable that when Oman and Japan meet in the second leg, Oman will have no chance.

Because Oman's hole cards are no longer hole cards.

The same is true for the opponent to the Chinese team.

This is also the idea that Moriyasu has instilled in the players when he practiced tactics in the past few days.

Don't panic, we can win, we can qualify!

From this point of view, Mori Hoichi understands the qualifiers/knockouts.

……

Coincidentally, the interim coach of the Chinese team, Dapeng, also understands the knockout round.

Even in this regard, the national team has no opponents in the world.

These days. Dapeng also instilled ideas in the national football players in this way.

Don't panic, we can win, we can qualify!

If the three main rivals (Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan) can't break down our goal, even if we can't break theirs, and get five draws (it was supposed to be six draws, but we have already won one against Australia, so it's one win and five draws), if we win the next four games against Vietnam and Oman, we will reach 20 points and qualify safely.

So, just hold steady.

From a 5-0 win over Australia in the first game, this series of qualifiers was doomed.

That's stability.

Defend and counterattack,

Anyway, the national football team is not in a hurry at all.

A draw is perfectly acceptable.

Get 20 points and qualify!

It's the same as Arsenal playing in the Premier League, Arsenal doesn't need to win Manchester City and Liverpool, just a draw, or even lose to these two strong teams, as long as Arsenal wins the other 17 opponents who are weaker than Manchester City and Liverpool (two legs), the points will reach 102 points +, which can basically lock up the league title every season.

Win all underdogs = league title.

Win all the strong teams = Champions League title.

That's why there are teams that can dominate the league but never win the Champions League.

Because the principle of winning the championship is not the same.

For example, Juventus, which has won nine consecutive Serie A titles, Manchester City, which has won three times in four years in the Premier League, and Paris, who dominate the French league team, these teams have won the league every year, but when it comes to the Champions League, it has become a dish.

Translate this principle into the World Cup and qualifiers, then this is the case, win all the underdogs = qualify/qualify for the group stage.

In the case of the knockout round, it is not lost to any opponent = world champion.

You can not win, but as long as you don't lose, then you will definitely be a world champion.

Just like Croatia, the king of extra time in the last World Cup, Croatia did not win a single opponent or lose to any opponent in the regular time of the entire knockout round, so Croatia reached the World Cup final.

It's a pity that in the overtime of the World Cup final, Croatia lost to France and was the runner-up, otherwise, Croatia would have had a chance to stage a myth.

On the field, the game continues.

The clock is 25 minutes into the first half.

After the Japanese team retreated due to a decline in fitness, the Chinese team began to control the situation.

For a time, the offense was impressive.

Zheng Yaxin stood in front of the door boredly, quickly deducing the live situation.

Trying to find an opportunity to break through the Japanese team's goal.

A ball.

The national football team only needs one ball!

You can send the Japanese team to start the game with two consecutive defeats.
