Chapter 1053 The unexpected Chinese team
In Hu Lai's system vision, the eleven Chinese team players on the field were connected to each other with white light chains, and eventually they all converged on him.
The [Lingxi Cards] that he spent 300,000 points redeeming were all used up in the group stage, and he even made up a few more for players who came off the bench.
After reaching the top 16, he spent another 300,000 points in advance to redeem ten [Lingxi Cards], just waiting to be used in the competition.
Fortunately, after completing the mission in the World Cup, I received a reward of 300,000 points.
In addition, with the improvement of his strength, he now does not need to use points to redeem props frequently, so he has plenty of money - at the end of the World Cup, because there were 300,000 points in rewards, Hu Lai still had some money in his account at the time. About one million points.
Even if he has used some in this half season, he still has 850,000 points before the start of the Asian Cup.
There is no pressure on him to exchange three hundred thousand [Lingxi Card] for equipment for the whole team.
Even if it costs another three hundred thousand.
So even though Hu Lai didn't know if spending these 600,000 points would allow the Chinese team to reach the Asian Cup finals, he spent it without hesitation.
Especially when facing the Japanese team, it is not worth it.
After Hu Lai saw left back Qu Lu coming from the left, he turned off the system vision and ran towards his position.
Xia Xiaoyu sent a long diagonal pass in the midfield, which seemed to be passed to Chen Xingyi in the ribs.
But Chen Xingyi missed the ball without looking back and passed it to Qu Lu who came from behind him.
It was as if he knew Qu Lu would resolutely advance forward.
When Qu Lu received the ball, the Chinese fans in the stands gave a huge cheer.
Amid the cheers, Qu Lu did not dribble the ball again, but made a slight adjustment and prepared to pass the ball.
This simple and direct style of play is exactly what head coach Dong Jianhai repeatedly told them before the game.
Ask them not to think too much during the game and move forward resolutely.
As long as you feel you can, pass the football forward to the Japanese team's goal.
As for whether it can be received by teammates after the pass is passed, and whether it can threaten the Japanese team's goal, it is not what the passing player has to consider at all.
To be honest, this kind of adjustment made by Director Dong really made the players of the Chinese team a little uncomfortable, because Director Dong is not a crazy coach like Tony Clark.
But from another perspective, after such an adjustment, everyone played more relaxedly.
After all, you don’t have to think about those complicated things, just go up to the Japanese team A.
As a result, the Chinese team players entered the game rhythm faster than the Japanese team.
Fifteen minutes into the game, it was the Chinese team that hit the 30-meter zone of the Japanese team more times!
This time too.
"Qu Lu Chuan! Here we go again!"
He Feng shouted excitedly. During this period, the Chinese team had the upper hand, which surprised him as the commentator.
At the same time as Qu Lu passed the ball, three Chinese players wearing red jerseys penetrated the Japanese team's penalty area like three sharp arrows.
Hu Lai was at the front in the middle, Luo Kai bypassed Hu Lai from the back point to grab the front point, while Zhang Qinghuan outflanked the back point.
Three arrows fired in unison!
Luo Kai increased his speed during the sprint, and then used this momentum to actually hit the ball at the front point!
It's just that he was also closely pressed by Japan's central defender Takehiro Nakaoka, leaving him no room to shoot. The best he could do was rub the football backwards!
He did it!
Hu Lai made a move in the middle to prepare for a takeoff. He deceived the Japanese captain Kengo Yamagami who was guarding him into taking off in a hurry, but he missed!
Missed!
If Kengo, who is 1.85 meters tall, had been taller, he might have hit the ball...
As a result, now he can only watch in shock as Zhang Qinghuan appears in the back, swiping his feet and cumming!
"Zhang Qinghuan!!" the Japanese TV commentator exclaimed, his voice trembling with fear.
Fortunately, Japan's goalkeeper Nishiguchi Nobuo reacted quickly. When Luo Kai's header hit him, he quickly turned back and pounced on the back point - he didn't even wait for Zhang Qinghuan to shoot before making a save, but was running back. I got out early.
He is betting that the Chinese team's attack will be completed by Zhang Qinghuan from behind...
He made the right bet!
Zhang Qinghuan's shot was saved by him and hit the bottom line with his hand!
"Oh! What a pity!" He Feng raised his head and shouted, then rushed back and said, "Although Nobuo Nishiguchi is not tall, only 1.85 meters, his movements are very flexible! This save reflects his characteristics To the fullest! ”
Yan Kang, who was sitting next to him, said: "It is a good thing that the Chinese team entered the game earlier after the start. But it is the first time that we have seen such a fierce attack in this Asian Cup. Dong Jianhai's guidance feels like a complete overthrow." The layout of the previous three games... Of course, this is not the case. It's a mistake. After all, facing a strong enemy like the Japanese team, it's definitely not possible to use the tactics of playing against Palestine and the Philippines. But it always feels like the step is too big... The Chinese team's pace is very fast now, but this kind of tactics. How long can the fast pace last? ”
Yan Kang didn't mean to pour cold water on him, but he really saw the problem.
The Chinese team surprised people after the opening, aggressively attacking and catching the Japanese team off guard.
So far, the Chinese team even has the upper hand.
But after the initial excitement, Yan Kang also saw hidden dangers.
That is, the Chinese team's offense lacks changes in rhythm and only pursues speed.
This kind of fast can achieve miraculous results at the beginning, but it is difficult to continue.
Not to mention the strength of the Chinese team, there is no team in the world that can maintain a fast pace and play for ninety minutes.
Leeds City is famous for their crazy offense, but they have never played like this.
That's why Yan Kangcai was worried that the Chinese team would be weak and would eventually be beaten into pieces by the Japanese team.
This is definitely not Yan Kang's concern alone. There are many people who have the same idea.
On the domestic Internet, many fans now think that Dong Jianhai is messing around - because in the previous three group matches, Dong Jianhai's reputation in the eyes of Chinese fans has dropped to the bottom, and whatever he does will be considered wrong by some.
Fans who thought Dong Jianhai was seeking death and fans who were excited about the Chinese team's performance even started arguing online.
The TV broadcast also gave Dong Jianhai a shot on the coaching bench.
He stood on the sidelines with a fat belly, staring intently at the court.
In terms of personal appearance, Dong Jianhai is not lovable because he is fat, old and dark, with dense wrinkles on his face and naturally droopy eyebrows. So although he is an experienced coach, he has never been a star figure in Chinese football. Even if he had been the head coach of the Chinese team and the Olympic team early on, his influence was very limited.
It's the kind of thing that every time he is chosen as the head coach, people feel that he is not the most suitable choice.
Of course, he also used actual results to prove that he is indeed not a "suitable candidate"...
Even this time, he did not escape this fate. It is obviously a helpless move made by the Chinese Football Association under the pressure of time after failing to reach an agreement with Jorge Dillon. It is a "choice without a choice."
In the camera, Dong Jianhai stood on the sidelines with his brows furrowed, giving no indication that his team was gaining the upper hand.
Wearing a national team training T-shirt and black sweatpants with the Chinese flag on the chest, and a competition certificate hanging around his neck, he looks like an old farmer worried about a poor harvest this year with his thin hair and sad face.
It’s no wonder he’s not lovable, it’s simply depressing at first glance.
For example, under current circumstances, seeing his face, Chinese fans will involuntarily think that the Chinese team will be in trouble next...
In fact, it is not only Chinese fans who have this worry, Japanese fans also think so.
On the Japanese Internet, their fans began to discuss when the Chinese team collapsed.
"...The Chinese team cannot always maintain such speed and rhythm, their physical fitness cannot sustain it!"
"Yes, the Chinese team is different from us. They do not have enough bench depth. In the previous three group matches, Dong basically did not make any lineup rotation. The starting lineup of the three group matches has almost remained unchanged. Their My physical strength is close to the limit...but I still choose this style of play. I can only say: brave, but also stupid!”
"Supervisor Motegi's response was correct. After discovering that the Chinese team attacked very fiercely in the opening, he asked the team to slow down and retract the defense. Defend for this period first, and wait for the Chinese team's momentum to decline before attacking. Until then It only takes one strike to defeat the Chinese team!”
The camera also cuts to Japanese team coach Hiroto Motegi.
The head coach who led the Japanese national team to the top 16 of the World Cup was like an ordinary coach compared with the world's famous coaches in the World Cup.
But in the Asian Cup, he is a top coach.
Especially with Dong Jianhai at his side, Hiroto Motegi's calm and composed general style is fully displayed.
He got up and walked to the sidelines. He did not speak or use very exaggerated body movements, but simply pressed down with his hands and told his players:
Don't panic, hold on tight. No big deal. (End of chapter)
