Yunsheng's Group B has three opponents: Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and North Korea.
A few years ago, these three opponents would have been at the top level in Asia, but it is different now.
With these words, Saudi Arabia has already withdrawn from the traditional "Asia's top four" echelon, let alone China, South Korea and Japan. The gap between them and their West Asian brothers Iran is getting wider and wider, and they are now a second-rate team in Asia.
North Korea has not performed well in recent years. The last time people had an impression of the North Korean team was the tears of Zheng Daese in the 2010 World Cup. After that, their strength declined rapidly and they did not get a ticket to the 2014 World Cup finals.
Uzbekistan has done pretty well in the past two years. A year ago, they competed with the Chinese team for 0.5 of the World Cup qualifying spots, but in the end they lost 0-6 to the Chinese team, which was flourishing in Asia.
Facing three opponents, Yunsheng is full of confidence!
On January 9, 2015, the Chinese national team’s first group match came as scheduled.
In the Brisbane Stadium, the Chinese team met the Saudi team.
Although the Chinese team is recognized as the strongest in the group, Saudi Arabia will never surrender and they are also looking forward to winning a victory.
Today Yunsheng's starting lineup is very different from the media's expectations. Many Premier League players such as Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo did not start.
The Hua Guo team is in a 4-3-2-1 formation today. This is Yun Sheng’s favorite formation and it is very suitable for this Hua Guo team. After all, many players who have been coached by Yun Sheng are very familiar with this formation in the club. style of play.
The goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, the four defenders are Li Xuepeng, Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Chengdong, the three midfielders Zhou Haibing, Hao Junmin and Deng Zhuoxiang, the two shadow forwards Wu Lei and Sun Ke, and the center Yu Dabao.
In the live broadcast room, Li Feixiang's partner today is Sun Jihai, the veteran of the Chinese national team.
Now Sun Jihai is playing in the Chinese Super League in China. He is currently recuperating from an injury and cannot play. Moreover, it is also a break in the league. He accepted the invitation from Sports 5 and came to Australia to commentate on the game.
Seeing Yunsheng's starting lineup, Li Feixiang was a little puzzled: "In today's starting lineup of the Chinese national team, there is no player from the Premier League. I guess Yunsheng took the players' physical fitness and condition into consideration. But in the face of insufficient strength, Is it possible for the weak Saudi team to arrange our formation like this? After all, today’s starting lineup is not the strongest player of the Chinese team.”
Sun Jihai said with a smile: "Feixiang, you have to believe Coach Yun Sheng, there is absolutely no problem with his selection. Letting Chen Tao, Dong Fangzhuo, and Yu Hai rest more is also to prepare for the subsequent knockout rounds. After all, we are going to compete." championship team.”
"But," Li Feixiang was still a little worried, "are these young people okay?"
Sun Jihai was confident: "Don't worry, the Chinese national team is full of talents now. Even this current Chinese national team, I dare say, is definitely capable of competing for the championship!"
As a witness to Monaco's five crowns, Sun Jihai knows Yunsheng too well. Yunsheng knows how to train young people, use young people, and is very accurate in judging people, so whether it is Deng Zhuoxiang, Li Xuepeng, or Sun Ke, these young people will have no problem in this game.
The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!
Under Yunsheng's instructions before the game, the Huaguo team changed their previous safe playing style and became extremely aggressive from the first minute!
"Zhou Haibing intercepted the ball! He handed the ball to Hao Junmin! Hao Junmin moved horizontally on the spot, got rid of the defense, and passed the ball long!"
"Wu Lei received the ball! He dribbled the ball into the goal! He volleyed into the near corner! The ball hit the goal post! What a pity!"
"This is Deng Zhuoxiang's personal performance in the frontcourt! He passed two defensive players in a row! He went straight to Yu Dabao!"
"Yu Dabao fell to the ground and shot! The ball slid out! It was just a little bit missing!"
In less than ten minutes, the Chinese team created two threatening shooting opportunities and almost broke the deadlock.
Yun Sheng's expression on the sidelines was calm. He even sat on the coach's bench with ease, watching the game like an ordinary fan.
He was sure of this game.
Facing such an ordinary Saudi Arabia, he sent the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1, the assists leader in Ligue 1, the best goalkeeper in La Liga, the La Liga Golden Boot, as well as the AC Milan captain, Schalke 04 vice-captain, Zanetti and Del Piero His successor, with such a lineup, can't he win against a small Saudi Arabia?
Even if Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo are not needed, this game is guaranteed to be won!
If he can't win, he, as the coach of the Chinese national team, will be a failure!
In the past half year, Yun Sheng has accumulated a lot of talismans in his hand. In addition to a few [Future and Misfortune depend on each other] and [Extreme Joy Begets Sorrow] talismans, the ones Yun Sheng has the most are [Bian Que is alive] and [Hua Tuo is alive]. 】.
In recent times, Yunsheng has rarely drawn spells such as [Offensive Bonus] and [Defensive Bonus] that directly affect the game. It seems that the system has found that its coaching ability is stronger, so plug-ins are basically They are all the kind of spells that activate players or help players increase training effects.
In addition, after Yunsheng coached the Huaguo team, he also drew an A-level [Fair Play].
[Fair play: Level A, if the opponent becomes unprofessional and unethical, this spell will reverse the situation of the game, impose a certain penalty on the opponent, and give a certain degree of compensation to our players. Who to use it for: Opposing teams. 】
Seeing the new spell given to him by the system, Yun Sheng confirmed it.
We must meet the South Korean team in the Asian Cup, it’s a hammer...
Yun Sheng was checking the spells in his mind while watching the game. He didn't plan to use any spells in the group stage. There was no need.
The game has now progressed to 23 minutes, and the score between the two sides is still 0-0.
Saudi Arabia's overall defense is good, and their players are physically strong enough. The Chinese team's goals today were often missed, and they seemed to be unlucky.
But soon, the situation was changed.
Seeing that the team could not open up the situation for a long time, during a scramble in the midfield, Zheng Zhi suddenly stepped in and knocked down his opponent with a frontal tackle!
This time the defense was crisp and clear, no fouls!
Zhou Haibing received a tackle from Zheng Zhi, and he made a long pass to find Sun Ke!
Sun Ke hit Deng Zhuoxiang horizontally, and then quickly moved forward along the wing!
Wu Lei on the left and Yu Dabao in the middle are also moving flexibly, and the Saudi defense is in a mess!
Deng Zhuoxiang didn't pass the ball. He suddenly slowed down while dribbling the ball and squeezed between two defensive players!
He reached the top of the penalty area!
Directly kick and volley into the far corner!
The ball went in! ! !
In the 25th minute of the game, the Chinese team quickly switched from defense to offense, reacted quickly, and finally Deng Zhuoxiang successfully scored!
This is the excellent overall cooperation of the Chinese team. From stealing the ball, passing the ball, to running, every player played his role!
Deng Zhuoxiang's wonderful personal performance finally completed the fatal blow!
1 to 0! The Chinese team finally broke the deadlock! They took the lead!
