At halftime, the Chinese team did not make new adjustments, but proposed to the two fullbacks Xin Feng and Wu Jun that in the second half, they should first ensure defense and bold assists, but the requirements of the coaching staff are 15 meters in front of the opponent's penalty area. At the same time as the fullback assists to get the ball, the two forwards Shao Jiayi and Wang Peng also have to participate in the battle for the top in the penalty area, and give Zheng Zhi the position near the penalty area line, Zheng Dongqi also has to keep up, give Zheng Zhi a certain amount of protection behind him, and do not give the Japanese team the opportunity to play a quick counterattack. And Jia Wenpeng sits in the middle circle to respond or give pressure at the first time when the opponent counterattacks, and be decisive when necessary. For the defensive arrangement, the Japanese team's forward line of Atsushi Yanagisawa did not arrange a special marking, the same is the same for the opponent's left and right Shinji Ono and Masashi Motoyama, the Japanese team's style of play and lineup do not have the threat of the bottom cross, these two wing players are more of a sideways to the middle with the ball, seeking to cooperate with Nakata Hidetoshi's small short pass. In this case, the coaching staff asked Jia Wenpeng to focus on interfering with and disrupting Nakata's ball line during the defensive process, and at the same time avoid giving the opponent too many free kick opportunities in front of the penalty area.

In fact, at present, the Chinese team and the Japanese team have similar offensive methods in front of the penalty area, and it depends on who can penetrate the opponent's defense first. Compared with the Japanese team, the Chinese team has an extra high-altitude advantage, so our offensive means will be richer than the opponent. Everything is in place, and the rest is left to see how the players play on the field.

After a short intermission, players from both sides returned to the pitch one after another. I saw that the players on both sides formed a circle before kick-off. After a group of people on the Japanese team gathered around and didn't know what they were muttering, they got up and collectively shouted, "Neon, onboard!" At the same time, Lee Bourne said to his teammates gathered around: "There are 45 minutes left and we are the Asian champions. What does it mean to be an Asian champion? Saying that everything else is false, the championship means that all Asian players under the age of 20 have to shout when they see us! It means that next year's league may be able to step onto the court as the main force! It means that the annual salary of your new contract is at least more than 0 behind the number! Don't think so high, at this moment we are all for our own future, the game has reached a scorching moment, we have to stick to our dreams. There's nothing to be ashamed of here. You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, but that doesn't mean we can go on the pitch with the idea that we're still one goal ahead anyway, and from now on everyone forgets about the score, starting from 0-0 and fighting for every goal! Gritting our teeth, after 45 minutes, we returned home with the trophy, which is the best reward for so much hard work and dedication! Come on, gentlemen, come on! them little Japanese!"

"Come on! little Japan!"

At this moment, the eyes and hearts of the players of the Chinese team are hot. Indeed, it is still the same sentence, as a professional player, since playing football is his profession and a means of making a living, it is normal to have some utilitarian ideas, which of these young men who are less than 20 years old do not want to make money and do not want to be famous. Those who can face their inner desires and achieve them through hard work are the real warriors. In a sense, the football stadium is the battlefield of these players, and hypocrisy will not achieve great things.

The referee's whistle blew again and the second half was kicked off by the Japanese team. It was probably the coaching staff of the Japanese team who made a request at halftime, and the Japanese team did not rush to attack after the kick-off. The ball was passed back and forth between Nakata, Ono, Masashi Motoyama and Nakamura and Inamoto, and the ball had no chance to hit it at the first time, which was the same as the previous choice of the Chinese team, and the Japanese team also controlled the ball safely first. It seems that the Japanese team also hopes to slowly find opportunities by occupying the initiative in the midfield, not rushing to win the game, and first stabilize the defense to equalize. It is estimated that the opposing midfielder has even arranged preparations for extra time and penalty shootouts.

If you want to say that among the most optimistic players of this national youth team, when it comes to defense, it is naturally Jia Wenpeng, a Northeast player born in 1978, who has already represented China in 88 and won the international invitational championship held in Japan at that time. In the previous life, Jia Wenpeng first joined the Bayi team, and in 96 was sent to Germany for trial by Uncle Schlapner, but the Bayi team did not release people, so it did not make the trip. Next, in the 97 season, at the age of 19, he was already the main defender of the team, and Wanda boss Wang Jianlin tried to bring the Dalian teenager back to the Wanda team several times without success. And Jia Wenpeng also participated in the 1996 Asian Youth Championships held in South Korea, and won the runner-up with Wang Peng. Later, in 03, the Bayi team was collectively listed, Jia Wenpeng joined Shanghai Shenhua, and performed well on behalf of Shenhua in the friendly match of AC Milan's 2:0 victory, and later gradually faded out of the public eye because of injury. In the 7 years that he has been in the Bayi team, every year there are top domestic teams such as Wanda Shenhua who want to buy Jia Wenpeng, but unfortunately the Bayi team has always refused to let him go. In the eyes of the teenager, many players like Jia Wenpeng should have had a brighter career, but unfortunately the unprofessionalism of Chinese football ruined the hopes of many players, and even when Guangzhou Evergrande ruled the Chinese Super League, it was not the same every year. It can be said that in the minds of the teenagers, if Jia Wenpeng can have a good career plan, the achievements he can achieve will definitely be stronger than Li Tie, the so-called best defender in the history of the national football team, after all, Li Tie is as his name suggests, and a lot of his defense is made up for by his tireless running, really when it comes to steals or something, Li Tie is actually like that. I have seen so many top midfielders play, Li Tie is probably one of the few in the midfield, interested fans and friends can look for previous game highlights to see if this is the case.

Speaking of returning to this final, Jia Wenpeng completed the task assigned by the coach well in the opening stage of the second half. Defensive players, especially midfielders in the midfield, because most of the time they have their backs to their own goals, the situation behind them may not be able to understand in time, which requires the defensive players to predict and defend according to experience, and the most important thing is that a good back is rarely out of position. The dislocation here not only refers to the fact that the opponent can't find the back when attacking, but when the opponent's front waist holds the ball, when to go on and when to retreat, whether this degree is reasonable. Watching Vieira play, we can often see that this long leg is not moving, as long as the foot is extended, most of the time it is a successful steal. Take a look at the back waist played by Wu Xi in the top 12, behind him is the back line, and the opponent's front waist can keep retreating with the ball, and even retreat to his central defender's face, which causes the overlap of defensive positions, in fact, you use two players in this position, so the Chinese team always feels that no one is defending before the penalty area, and the reason is here. I wonder why Li Tie is also from the back waist, why can't he see this clearly, Wu Xi has to be used in every field.

The Japanese team tried to establish contact with the forward line in the middle of the opening few times, but was interfered with or destroyed by Jia Wenpeng outside the penalty area, but Nakata Hidetoshi could only hand the ball to Shinji Ono and Masashi Motoyama on both sides, and then find an open space to respond by running. But every time I went around and just got the ball, I turned around and saw Jia Wenpeng's round little fat face. The Japanese front waist is quite helpless, how can this be stuck to itself like a dog skin plaster. Fortunately, Nakata is still better than Shunsuke Nakamura's physical confrontation, otherwise I am afraid that Jia Wenpeng's defense of chasing chickens and rabbits will be laid down.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the Japanese team controlled the pace of the game very well, and they began to focus on the Chinese team's wings after repeated attacks in the middle. In the 14th minute of the second half, after a few passes in the front of the Japanese team, Atsushi Yanagisawa held the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, Jia Wenpeng handed the ball back to Hidetoshi Nakata when he turned around and attacked, Nakata held the ball and moved closer to the right side, and at the same time Masashi Motoyama inserted it into the middle of the penalty area, Xin Feng did not chase Masashi Motoyama with this ball, because the central defender and back of the right side of the middle side, if he also followed, Nakata on that side was unguarded. Xin Feng stepped forward and clinged to Nakata Hidetoshi, not giving the latter space to break through the starting speed on the side, and Nakata also controlled the ball steadily, frowning and looking at the middle. At this moment, Nakata got up, but what Xin Feng didn't expect was that Nakata looked at the middle, but he stuffed the ball to the side with the outside instep, and at the same time Japan's right-back Madoka Ogasa. Mannan stepped forward at the high speed, and this time Xin Feng was thrown away. In the case of starting the ball at high speed instead of starting the ball in a stationary state, the gap between this step and going out is huge.

Just this time, in a second's time, Ogasa Yuan has broken through a distance of nearly 8 meters, Li Weifeng is still a little slow half a step in the first time to fill the position, Ogasa Yuan's cross is also very tricky, this ball did not choose the high ball to go in, the Japanese team is at an obvious disadvantage in the header, so this kick is almost drawn in with the footwork of the shot, Li Weifeng jumped out of the fish is still half a meter short of touching, it can be seen that the ball speed is fast. This kind of ball defender is difficult to deal with, because facing the goal has to clear the ball outward, and if it is a high ball, it depends on who has the stronger bounce speed and jump height. There are only three points in the Japanese team's penalty area, Masashi Motoyama in the front, Atsushi Yanagisawa in the middle, and Shinji Ono in the back. The men are 177, 175, and 175 tall, respectively, and are not so much scrambling for headers as fishing in troubled waters in the penalty area. The ball was not touched at the front point or in the middle, and at the back point it was cleared by Wu Jun's head swing outward, and the ball flew to Shunsuke Nakamura on the right side of the penalty area. Zheng Dongqi was not afraid that the opponent's volley would hit him in the face, so he gritted his teeth and rushed over. As a result, Nakamura's shot was a feint, and his left foot swung to the right, and the ball flew towards Hidetoshi Nakata, who was empty in the middle. The core of the Japanese team NAKATA8 a burst of the ball without stopping, and an obvious external rotation came out of the outside of the right foot, and you can see that Li Byrne in the crowd struggled to top the ball, but unfortunately it was still a fraction of a second, and the goalkeeper who was blocked by the crowd had no way to judge, and the ball was hit into the corner by Hidetoshi Nakata.

2:2! The 20,000 Japanese fans in the stadium began to sing excitedly and then chanted NAKATA's name en masse. There is really no way to do this, and Li Boen kept complaining in his heart: "You are a person who is at the forefront of fashion, why do you want to make yourself the same as Zhao Xuri, and you are going to call a Nakata kick or something in the future?" And when you come out with this kick, when Roma plays Juventus in 2000, do you still expect Juventus to give you a chance to kick? Hmph, I think this Rome's Serie A champion is out of play."

The score returned to a draw again, and sure enough, there was nothing to play in the final!
