Chapter 51: Tiki-taka!
There are some things that we don't want to deny, and most of the Japanese players are able to adapt quickly and well to the rhythm and intensity of the professional game when they enter the senior team, which is not unrelated to their well-established youth training system. In the 21st century, Chinese fans often see the highlights of the Japanese high school league in various media, and often marvel at the high technical and tactical standards of these student soldiers. Admittedly, this is an exaggeration, but it is undeniable that it is thanks to the mature high school league that can bring fresh blood to professional football in Japan every year, that we can see Japanese football rising so quickly.
To briefly popularize science, for example, these players in the Japanese youth team have been promoted from various high school teams to professional teams. This is true of Hidetoshi Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura and later Keisuke Honda, among others. Some people will ask that little Japanese started high school league when he started learning Brazilian football, right? Hehe, this event has been held since 1917, and now it has a history of 100 years, and the annual competition from the qualifiers to the national finals, with more than 4,000 high school teams participating, do the math, a team's standard 23-man lineup, this is 92,000 players, and people are persistently carried out every year. If we don't start again, this gap is not whether we are qualified to compete with others for the Asian zone of the World Cup. Maybe a hundred years later, the national football team will really be able to give our fans a world ranking of 178 back.
Li Boen thought that before participating in this training camp, Wang Jingyuan and the youth league he reported were still selecting the places for the first competition, and he had to hurry up when he went back! I will play in China for a year, and then I will definitely land in Europe, and I can't wait! The youth training selection system cannot be established, and their own Rice European youth training base is just a castle in the air, and there is no follow-up talent delivery.
Shaking his head, the teenager's attention returned to the game. With almost 30 minutes left in the second half, the two teams were back on the same page. At this time, it depends on who can withstand the pressure. Lee Byrne gathered the players together and arranged the requirements for the various positions on the field. As the referee's whistle sounded, the final moments of the game began with the Chinese team kicking off.
Wang Peng kicked the ball back to Zheng Zhi, Nakata Yingshou grabbed it, Zheng Zhi turned around and pretended to pass back to fullback Xin Feng, and then pulled his right foot and turned around to leave Nakata behind, and then unhurriedly distributed the ball to Zheng Dongqi, the back who was inserted on the right. Zheng Dongqi's forward insertion made the Japanese team very uncomfortable, and the left and right sides of the back Jia Wenpeng were Zheng Zhi and Zheng Dongqi, two central midfielders, and the Japanese team only had one Nakata Hidetoshi in the forward position. It is equivalent to Zheng Zhi getting rid of Nakata's defense, there was a short vacuum in the position of the Japanese team, fullback Shinji Ono and midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura could not defend closely at the first time, Zheng Dongqi did not give Nakata a chance to chase back, and went forward at a speed. Facing Shunsuke Nakamura, who came up to defend, Zheng Dongqi decisively handed the ball back to Zheng Zhi, who was inserted forward on the other side. Zheng Zhi took a step forward with the ball, and Shao Jiayi in the middle hit the wall past Junichi Inamoto, and before the Japanese team's right-back Madoka Ogasa came up, Zheng Zhi passed the ball diagonally to Xin Feng on the left side. The latter took a small step to adjust his pace, and then made an arc with his left foot to find Zheng Dongqi, who was inserted at the back point, and the ball was pushed out by the Japanese team's central defender. The ball flew in the direction of Zheng Zhi, Nakata Hideshou had also returned to the defense in place, seeing that there was no chance, Zheng Zhi did not stop the ball at the first time, but let the ball land and bounce back, and only after leaving Nakata's defensive range did he unload the ball and stop it, and then kicked it back to Jia Wenpeng in the middle circle.
Jia Wenpeng saw that Tian Ye's side was another central defender of the Japanese team who was less than 1.8 meters tall, and he lifted the ball directly to the opponent's penalty area. The ball landed a little far away from the goal, Tian Ye had to give the ball to Shao Jiayi outside the penalty area, Shao briefly observed, and gave the ball to Zheng Dongqi on the right with his left foot. Ah Qi passed the ball back to Wang Peng in the middle, and then ran to the side of the penalty area with the full-backs himself. Wang Peng also handed the ball to Shao Jiayi behind him, and then turned around and ran towards the penalty area. Shao Jiayi at the top of the arc was about to pass the ball inward, but Junichi Inamoto had already defended it, so Shao Jiayi changed his left foot to a dial and broke through horizontally to the left, and Junichi Inamoto also followed, at this moment, Shao Jiayi knocked the ball with the heel of his left foot to Zheng Zhi who moved from the left side to his right just now, and Nakata Hideto, who was defending Zheng Zhi, was blocked by Shao Jiayi and Inamoto. At this time, the only thing left in the Japanese team that could keep up was Shunsuke Nakamura. And Zheng Zhi has more options at the moment, one is to shoot from a distance, and the other is to pass the ball to the unguarded big penalty area line before Nakamura makes a move, so that Shao Jiayi can follow up and shoot, but this ball may be destroyed by Inamoto, who is following the defense, and it can also be distributed to Wu Jun, who is quickly inserting on the right side, forming a chance to cross from the side. But no one expected that Zheng Zhi passed a straight plug to the bottom line of the penalty area at a position of six or seven meters outside the penalty area, because Tian Ye fell to the ground with the central defender of the Japanese team when he was fighting for the top, and the two did not have time to get up in the small penalty area, dragging the end of the entire defense line, so the ball The Chinese team inserted three people into the penalty area at the same time, and the Japanese team could not even make an offside position. This ball passed to Zheng Dongqi, who opened up a vacant space on the side of the penalty area after the ball just now!
The ball passed between Yuji Nakazawa who defended Wang Peng and the opponent's left back Tomoshi Yamaguchi, Zheng Dongqi used his speed to cut diagonally before Yamaguchi, and received Zheng Zhi's straight plug near the front post four or five meters from the bottom line in the small penalty area, and the ball can choose to hit the goal at a small angle! The goalkeeper of the Japanese team, Shinya Yoshihara, had his hair standing up, he didn't expect the Chinese team to pass the ball back to the middle from Zheng Zhi, and then started with a long pass from Jia Wenpeng, in just one minute, 6 uninterrupted small-scale passes actually sent the ball to this fatal position that no one expected!
Like a frightened cat, Shin Yoshihara, who was full of stabs, could only move outward as much as possible to block the angle of Zheng Dongqi's shot, and at this moment, Ah Qi came out, and Zheng Dongqi, whose center of gravity was obviously tilted to the right, looked like he was going to hit a far corner with the outside of his right foot!
The ball flew out, not a shot! With a pick-up pass, he crossed the heads of Wang Peng and Yuji Nakazawa in reverse, and flew between the unguarded penalty spot and the big penalty area line. This ball is looking for a pla that Zheng Zhi can pass when he holds the ball just now
B – Shao Jiayi! Compared to Zheng Zhi, there is also Shunsuke Nakamura interfering with the ball just now, and Junichi Inamoto, who is attached to Shao Jiayi, is also likely to destroy the pass before Shao Jiayi, the return pass in this position! Junichi Inamoto and Shao Jiayi also ran towards the position of the goal, even if he broke his head, it was impossible to prevent it!
A seven-foot pass around the range of the Japanese team's penalty area! The Chinese team played Barcelona's smooth tiki-taka football! Shao Jiayi followed up, watched the desperate Japanese goalkeeper Shinya Yoshihara who went to block Zheng Dongqi close to the goalpost, and hit the goal with a header!
