Chapter 1458, Overcome Rigidity with Softness!
"Dear Huaguo fans and friends, hello everyone, welcome to watch Sports Channel 5, I am your old friend Li Feixiang."
"Hello everyone, I'm Sun Jihai."
"Today is Thursday, January 22, which is not a traditional holiday in China, but we are all looking forward to it. Because tonight, the Chinese team will usher in their first knockout match of this Asian Cup - the quarter-finals against Australia! ”
"After qualifying for the group stage, you have to go all out in every next game, because every step is likely to continue to rise, or it is possible to fall directly and go home, so the next knockout games are more exciting and exciting."
"In today's game, Yunsheng's starting lineup has made some adjustments again. It is still a 4-3-2-1 formation, goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, four defenders Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Chengdong, midfielders Huang Bowen, Wang Chuhe and Chen Tao, two shadow strikers are Wu Lei and Yu Hai, and center forward Dong Fangzhuo. ”
"In this game, Yunsheng did not have any reservations and discharged the full main lineup. Several young people such as Deng Zhuoxiang, Yang Xu, and Sun Ke, who performed well in the previous games, did not appear in the starting list today. After all, the opponent in this game is too strong, and Yunsheng is still more secure. ”
After Li Feixiang introduced the starting lineup, Sun Jihai on the side did not speak, and after a while, he frowned and said: "Today's live audience is a little noisy." ”
Li Feixiang hurriedly took over: "Yes, our Huaguo team is the favorite to win the Asian Cup, and the Australian fans are afraid of us, so they are booing, which can also prove our strong strength." ”
Li Feixiang gently kicked Sun Jihai in the audience and signaled him to stop talking.
When cutting into the advertisement later, Li Feixiang instructed Sun Jihai: "The leaders of the station have arranged it just now, let's not talk about Australian fans, after all, this involves international disputes." ”
Through the window of the VIP room, Sun Jihai could hear the scolding of the Australian fans, which was very clear.
"This group of livestock, scold it, they will look good in a while!" Sun Jihai scolded hatefully.
At this time, the players of both sides had returned to the locker room, and Yun Sheng could clearly see the unhappy mood of the players.
This is a double-edged sword, it is possible that the player will take out the opponent in one go, and it is possible that the technique will be out of shape due to emotional excitement, and even increase the likelihood of taking cards, which can be very troublesome.
'Boys, we played completely away from home. Actually, from my subjective point of view, I don't like playing against the hosts because we have to think about a lot of off-field factors, but since we do, it doesn't matter. We are not afraid of anyone! ”
'You had mood swings in this game, I can understand it, but you have to calm down because we can't fight them in the middle of the pitch! They are very strong players and we don't have a physical advantage, so we have to rely on good skills to win the opponents! Overcoming rigidity with softness is the strategic purpose of our game! ”
Yunsheng made strict arrangements, and the players executed them perfectly.
Australia used a 4-3-3 formation today, with an inverted triangle in midfield and a straight triangle up front. In the centre-forward position is their number one star Gary Cahill, one of Asia's top strikers who has had a good run at Everton. Cahill's two wingers are Matthew Leckie and Kreuzer, both of whom play in the Bundesliga and are very strong.
Bresciano, the core of the midfield, has played in Serie A for many years, with good attack and defense; Longo and Jedinak around him both play in England.
Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan is Brugge's main goalkeeper and is about to move to La Liga giants Valencia.
Although the players in the back line are all playing in Australia, the strength is not very strong, but the cooperation is very good, and the team ability is very strong.
With such a team, the strength of the three lines is very even.
And Australia's style of play is completely European, with a focus on physical confrontation and teamwork.
After the start of the match, the technical characteristics of the two sides were very different.
The Chinese team continued to cooperate with the midfield, and the attacking players used their individual skills to break through and seek opportunities.
Australia, on the other hand, is looking for physical confrontation as much as possible, and wants to fight hand-to-hand with Chinese players. In terms of passing and receiving the ball, they are like a miniature version of Germany, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, and there are very few mistakes in passing and receiving the ball.
And that's not their strongest, their strongest is the low cross and free-kick tactics.
In the 11th minute of the game, in Australia's corner kick tactics, Cahill jumped high to head the goal, the ball smashed on the crossbar, Zeng Cheng hugged the falling ball in a thrilling way, and was scared into a cold sweat.
Even Zhang Linpeng, who was physically strong, could not squeeze Cahill out, and when Cahill chose the right position, he had a great chance of competing for a header.
At this time, Yun Sheng on the sidelines once again loudly told the players: "Don't foul easily!" Don't give them corners lightly! ”
In the pre-game locker room, Yun Sheng had already told the players, and the Chinese players rarely fouled near the penalty area. However, Australia forced their feet from outside the box and it was easy to hit the Chinese players and then win a corner.
This makes it difficult for the Chinese team to deal with.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Australia played a team in the midfield, in the physical confrontation, Wang Chuhe and Chen Tao were not dominant, it was difficult for them to break the ball from the feet of the Australian players, Huang Bowen had no choice but to get off his feet and put down Bresciano from behind.
The referee blew for a foul and gave the Australian a free-kick on the left side of the box and a yellow card.
Bresciano got up from the ground, and Huang Bowen's tackle just now didn't hurt him at all.
On the left side of the box, decisive cross!
Cahill in the box leaps high and heads home!
The ball smashed into the net!
The ball is in!
1 to 0! Australia took the lead!
The home fans in the stands celebrated wildly and enjoyed the joy of scoring goals.
Yun Sheng on the sidelines shook his head again and again, this goal was almost incomprehensible, just now Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting were sandwiched, but in the end Cahill broke through the defense line and broke the net with a header.
Zhang Linpeng kicked the goalpost hard, with a look of annoyance: "This guy is really like Drogba, just as strong as a calf!" ”
Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng also had a gloomy face, and he barely had time to make defensive moves just now.
At this time, on the side of the court, taking advantage of the Australian players' celebrations, Yun Sheng called Chen Tao over.
Because Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin did not start today, the captain's armband was temporarily worn on Chen Tao's arm.
"Xiao Chen, the defense just now is just that the opponent is too strong, and we actually didn't make much mistakes. However, we haven't been able to play in attack and that's a big problem. I need you to command the midfield, continue to improve the speed and efficiency of the attack, speed up the passing and receiving of the ball and the possibility of individual breakthroughs, we have to equalize as soon as possible! ”
