"The Dragon Kingdom rises!"
"Just rush and it's done!"
"Dong Fangzhuo, come on!!!"
The rain was pouring down, and the sky was covered by rolling dark clouds with no trace of light, but this could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Dragon Kingdom fans. The Xinhua Road Stadium, which can accommodate more than 30,000 spectators, was overcrowded. Countless bright reds were fluttering in the wind and rain. Many fans had national flags on their faces and roared loudly towards the center of the stadium.
In the corner of the stands, in the commentary box, He Wei wiped off the water stains on his hair, held down the hair that was blown up by the strong wind, and looked at the camera: "Okay, fans and friends, welcome to the CCTV5 live broadcast room to watch this event. A friendly match between the Argentina national team and the national football team, I am the football commentator He Wei."
"Hello everyone, I am Fan Zhiyi."
"Hello everyone, I am Huang Jianxiang. Speaking of which, Zhiyi, the weather today is really bad. It is windy and rainy. I hope the players will not be affected by this."
Huang Jianxiang raised the topic, and Fan Zhiyi nodded: "Of course it has an impact, but to be honest, I personally think this kind of weather is actually more beneficial to us.
The rain and wind were strong, which would definitely affect Argentina's ball control, and our head coach Zhu Xiaohu prefers defensive counterattacks, which does not require too delicate footwork. "
"Hey, when you say that, I think it's a bit like the right time, the right place, and the right people. The weather is the right time, and the right place, of course, is the right place for the people of the Dragon Kingdom to stand on the land of the Dragon Kingdom, and the right people are naturally like this on the scene. So many fans cheered enthusiastically!
Now that we are about to go to the Asian Cup, I really hope that our players can give the fans more confidence in this game. Hey, He Wei, I don’t know the score of this game. What do you think? "
Huang Jianxiang, who was wearing headphones, glanced at the camera, then turned to look at He Wei next to him, who smiled.
"Well, although it is a bit of a blow to morale, if you look at it from a strength perspective, I personally think it might be two to one or three to one. After all, this Argentina team won the World Cup last year, and in terms of personnel, except for Crespo, who is injured There are almost no changes in other positions. If we want to defeat them, it is still too difficult."
Fan Zhiyi continued: "It is indeed true, and to be honest, people in the industry now believe that this Argentina team is actually stronger than last year's team.
Let’s not talk about Chen Mo and Messi, the two big devils. Let’s talk about Di Maria and Mascherano. They also grew up rapidly after the World Cup. They followed their big brother Chen Mo in Assen half a month ago. Na won the second Champions League trophy in team history, and his competitive status must be maintained very well in all aspects.
However, I still hope that our young men in the national football team can withstand the pressure. After all, others don't care about your situation. What people care about is winning or losing! "
"That's right. Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered the field, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. Sure enough, Director Zhu still used the 541 defensive counterattack formation for this game.
Forward: Dong Fangzhuo
Midfielder: Zheng Zhi, Zhou Haibin, Tie Zi, Shao Jiayi.
Defenders: Sun Xiang, Li Weifeng, Cao Yang, Zhang Yaokun and Sun Jihai.
Gee, come to think of it, there are quite a few players from the national football team who have gone overseas in recent years.
Let’s not talk about Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo, two fans and friends who are very familiar with them. Left-back Sun Xiang is also playing for Eindhoven in the Eredivisie. He even came on as a substitute in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. "
Huang Jianxiang rambled, and He Wei took over: "Yes, I was the one who commented on that game, but unfortunately, he played against Messi in that game."
Fan Zhiyi also smiled and said: "He faced Messi in the first Champions League game. I don't know whether to say he is lucky or bad luck. In addition to Sun Xiang, Zheng Zhi joined Charlton in the Premier League in January this year. Sheffield United in the Premier League, Shao Jiayi is now playing better and better in Cottbus in the Bundesliga.
Three of our four midfielders are playing in the five major leagues. It's a pity that Chen Tao couldn't come back, otherwise our midfield would be much stronger. "
Chen Tao?
Upon hearing this name, Huang Jianxiang and He Wei, who knew a little bit about the inside story, both smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, let's return the cameras to the stadium."
.
"The rain is really heavy."
The soybean-sized raindrops still hurt a bit on his face. Standing in the middle of the court, listening to the roaring cheers from all around, Chen Mo, who was wearing blue and white stripes, turned his eyes to the Dragons players wearing red jerseys opposite.
To be honest, although many people say that the national football team began to decline after 2002, in fact, at this stage, the national football team only looks at paper strength, and it is not far behind.
Six of the eleven players are playing in the five major leagues, and are either starters for weak teams or substitutes for wealthy teams.
However, in terms of player styles, Dragon Country and Argentina feel like they are two extremes. Argentina has not produced many good defenders, and Dragon Country has not produced many good forwards.
"Dragon Kingdom should have more fraternity parties with Argentina. The cubs born there might be able to rule the world."
"Yeah, I guess so."
Weird thoughts came to mind, and as the referee blew the whistle, Chen Mo immediately calmed down.
Aguero knocked the ball back in the center circle. Before the ball rolled to his feet, under Chen Mo's watch, the Dragons players had already started to retreat. Only center Dong Fangzhuo came up to press for the ball.
"Defensive counterattack? Sure enough, you guessed it right."
The body can forcefully eat the opponent at will, but the game has just begun, and Chen Mo's attention is not on the confrontation.
Without hesitation, he directly knocked the ball back to Aimar who was a little behind on the left side, while looking up.
At this sight, his brows relaxed.
541, there is no doubt that Zhu Xiaohu, who already likes to play defensive counterattacks, still let the Long Guo team play defensive counterattacks in this game.
It's okay for a weak team to play against a strong team and to defend and counterattack, but the problem is.
"Pressed too far back."
In the field of vision of Chen Mo, who was looking up while running, the entire Longguo team had retreated to the 30-meter area of the goal. The defenders were standing in the penalty area and the midfielders were standing a little ahead of the penalty area line.
This positioning is tantamount to completely abandoning the midfield and blocking the goal purely by relying on their numerical advantage. At the same time, because they stand deeper, Argentina can only press higher, and the space behind them will be larger.
The intention is obvious and the logic is self-consistent, but the key is that it is too late.
A simple example is that Su Bingtian was faster than Bolt in the first 50 meters, but his speed in 100 meters was not as good as Bolt.
The same is true in football. Kaká and Henry are both top impact players, but if the counterattack starts from their own penalty area, Kaká, who has a better rhythm with the ball, is stronger than Henry. Launching a counterattack from a distance of thirty or forty meters, Henry is more lethal than Kaka.
why is that?
Because every type of player has his sweet spot.
Players with strong explosive power and faster strides will gain an advantage in the first few dozen meters of the start, but their speed will drop after that starting stage, while players with better rhythm and larger strides will run faster and faster!
There is no distinction between these two styles. The key is to have a corresponding tactical system to put him in the right position. This is one of the reasons why everyone says that the closer Messi is to the goal, the more lethal he will be.
But now the Dragon Kingdom team is hiding in front of the goal.
Single-point arrow Dong Fangzhuo is pretty good. He scored 18 goals in 28 appearances last season and won the Golden Boot of the Belgian Second Division.
He has strong finishing ability and is extremely fast. Sun Jihai even said that Dong Fangzhuo is faster than Henry.
Chen Mo didn't know whether he could be faster than Henry, but Chen Mo knew that Dong Fangzhuo was not the kind of player who could run 100 meters.
If you want to run 100 meters, you must have good feet and technique.
Anyone who has played football has this feeling. If the distance is too long, unless there is no one in front of you, sometimes you will not be able to rush forward with the ball.
Often the distance of the ball and the stride length are wrong, either long or short, and you need to adjust your pace to get in front of the ball.
This is because the rhythm and skills of dribbling are not good, and Dong Fangzhuo has been criticized by the outside world for his poor technical ability.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo no longer hesitated. After passing the ball to Scaloni on the wing with a diagonal kick, under the gaze of more than 30,000 spectators, he trotted towards the goal in the heavy rain and gestured with his right hand. three.
"Chen Mo's tactical gesture is here again! Three! The game has just started. I don't know what the intention of this gesture is. Oh! The entire Argentine team is pressing on!"
"It seems that Argentina is preparing to press high! We must be very careful next!"
The commentator's voice was a little excited. Under the nervous gaze of the fans, the entire Argentina team pressed forward. But what was strange was that not only did Argentina press forward, but Marco Polo and Aimar in the midfield were also moving towards the wing. !
There is only one Chen Mo left in the middle!
"Damn! Is the reaction so fast?!"
Seeing Argentina's change of formation, Dragon Country head coach Zhu Xiaohu's face suddenly changed as he stood in the heavy rain wearing a suit on the sidelines.
Although he has been scolded as "Lu Bu among men, Red Rabbit among horses, and Xiaohu among pigs", he started coaching in the 1980s and was the first championship coach since Long Chao changed his name from Longjia.
The strength is still there.
The meaning of Chen Mo's change of formation is very obvious, focusing on guarding the wing!
Hold down Zheng Zhi and Shao Jiayi on the wing!
The one with the strongest offensive firepower is Dong Fangzhuo, but Chen Mo asked his teammates to focus on the two wings!
It seems like it's missing the point, but it's actually true.
"No wonder he is praised by so many awesome people. He is an awesome person."
Watching Chen Mo running on the field, Zhu Xiaohu, who was standing in the rain with his arms folded, gradually changed from shock to discomfort, and finally from discomfort to admiration.
It is true that Dong Fangzhuo has the strongest firepower, but just as Chen Mo thought, Dong Fangzhuo is not very capable of running. When counterattacking, he cannot get the ball immediately, or after getting the ball for the first time, he has to distribute it to the wing first, and then Move forward without the ball a certain distance.
No matter what it is, the key to the national football team's counterattack is still on the wing.
"However, Aimar and Mascherano are on the side, and he is isolated in the middle! Tiezi and Haibin are two on defense! As long as we can choke him, this game can still be played!"
