The Japanese team scored a goal within half a minute of the opening game.
And it was the first goal for the men's football team in this Olympic Games. There is no doubt that as Chen Mo, Messi and others rushed to the corner kick to celebrate, not to mention the entire stadium, all parts of the Dragon Kingdom were boiling.
The audience in front of the TV opened QQ to post a comment and added a line of Martian text, while the fans at the scene took cameras and took pictures of the corner kick!
The fans of the Argentinian team were very excited, but on the other side, the Japanese fans who came from afar had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Some were even so anxious that they were about to cry, clutching their chests with their hands.
Everyone knows the gap between the Japanese team and Argentina. Everyone knows that Argentina is here to win this Olympics. Japanese fans never expected to win, but as He Wei and Liu Jianhong said before, this Japanese Olympic team It is the most talented team in Japan in the past thirty years.
In this context, Japanese fans feel that even if they cannot win the game, they must at least show the football that the Japanese team wants to play and present the growth of Japanese football in recent years to the world.
But now they were scored right after the opening, and it wasn't the kind of long pass that steals the chicken. Argentina directly cut Japan's three defense lines in the midfield and back to pieces through ground passes!
Chen Mo pressed forward and passed to Messi. Messi retreated and passed the ball to Chen Mo. Chen Mo moved forward and passed the ball to Messi behind him. Messi cut inside to attract the defense and then passed the ball to Chen Mo. Chen Mo found the retreating Yi with a kick. Guain and Higuain crossed again, Aguero leaked the ball, Chen Mo reached the penalty area and passed back, Messi met the ball and shot with his left foot!
Although it only lasted about twenty seconds, Argentina made a total of seven passes!
And it's not that kind of lateral or back pass, every pass is a forward penetrating pass!
You must know that this kind of penetrating pass is very easy to make a mistake with just one kick, but Argentina made seven kicks at once!
The visual appreciation and impact are too strong!
It's a completely overwhelming advantage!
The Japanese fans were knocked unconscious by Chen Mo's blow to the head, but the one who suffered the most was the head coach of the Japanese team, Yasuichi Mori.
At this time, he just crossed his arms and paced back and forth on the sidelines with his head lowered.
To be honest, the personnel configuration of this Japanese team is somewhat deformed.
The defender and midfielder are all fine, but 4231's 3 is very strange.
Shinji Okazaki, Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa.
Of these three players, Shinji Okazaki is actually the second forward. Although Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa are indeed geniuses who can leave their names in the history of Japanese football and even Asian football, their playing styles are not suitable. .
Both are attacking midfielders and have core playing styles in their respective clubs.
To describe it simply, it doesn’t fit.
This is just like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, all three of them are top-notch, but they are not as scary as MSN.
As the head coach, even though he only served as the first team coach at Sanfrecce Hiroshima last year, Mori Yasuichi also understands this, but there is nothing he can do.
Argentina is not the only country in the world that has factions and internal strife.
It's simply impossible to avoid this.
In addition, Honda Keisuke and Kagawa Shinji are the two most popular players in Japan in this era. Mori Yasuichi, who is too young, dare not not bring them, nor let one of them sit on the bench.
If you win, it's easy to say, but if you don't win, it will be the fault of thousands of people when you return to the country.
In 1997, the Japanese team suddenly terminated the contract of its head coach before the World Cup preliminaries. Therefore, when Takeshi Okada, the head coach of the frontline rescue team, became the head coach of the Japanese team, he directly said to his wife, "If I don't succeed, I will do this." So be prepared to live in a different country].
Internet violence is the same all over the world.
But Takeshi Okada is a typical macho man born from heaven.
When he formed the Japanese national team, he directly rejected Miura Yoshitomo, the banner figure of Japanese football at the time, and actually led the Japanese team to the 1998 World Cup in France, and that World Cup was the first time in Japan's history that it entered the World Cup group. Race!
Very fierce!
However, there are too few people who dare to raise fire to the snowy fields.
Mori Yasuichi, who is still relatively immature now, does not have such courage at all, so he finally came up with this painful staffing.
"You must stick to your own ideas in the future!"
Looking at the Japanese players who were still a little confused on the court, Moriyasu showed a hint of perseverance and a hint of ferocity in his eyes!
Chen Mo didn't know what Mori Yasuichi was thinking and had no interest in knowing.
Scoring the Japanese team's goal is not something to be excited about. After celebrating with his teammates at the corner kick, he quickly returned to his position amidst cheers and prepared to wait for the opponent's kick-off.
.
With the first goal, the Argentine team's morale was obviously higher, while the Japanese team began to become a little constrained.
4231 is a typical formation that requires the whole team to press forward, then play positional offense and penetrate the ground. However, as the whistle blew, Japanese team center Takaki Morimoto knocked the ball back to Keisuke Honda. Chen Mo looked disappointed in his eyes. , Keisuke Honda directly knocked the ball back to Makoto Hasebe in the midfielder position, and then retreated to support the Japanese team in the midfield.
This is normal. The group stage of the Olympic Games is the same as the group stage of the World Cup. It not only depends on the score of victory or defeat, but also the goal difference when the score is the same.
If you think about it this way, there's actually nothing wrong with it.
But there’s still that problem.
The Japanese team is in a 4231 formation. Their pre-game arrangement is obviously to attack!
As a result, it’s only been more than two minutes since the show started, and I’m already giving in!
Changing tactics in the first two minutes. There is no doubt that Keisuke Honda's decision was a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese team.
There was no hesitation. The Japanese team was already doing well, but now they saw their opponent getting scared again. Under the watchful eyes of all the fans, Chen Mo immediately raised his right hand and raised a three in the air. As soon as the number came out, under the watchful eyes of the fans in the audience, Under the watchful eye, Messi retreated directly from the front line.
Yes, Messi dropped back.
The Japanese team said it was 4231, but at this conservative stage, Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki all retreated, and the Japanese team's formation became more like a 451 formation.
The Japanese team has 5 midfielders, while Argentina has 424.
2 to grab 5, even if Chen Mo is a god, he can't grab it.
In fact, even if Messi retreats, Argentina will only become 433. There are still few people in the midfield, but it is not a big problem.
Not only did Aguero retreat, but Argentina's two full-backs also pressed up to their waists amid Chen Mo's shouts.
Still in that situation, there is no perfect formation in the world.
The Japanese team's five midfielders may seem like a lot, but in fact they sacrifice offensive firepower in exchange for the advantage of midfielders.
Facing the Japanese team with only a single arrow, Chen Mo had no reason to leave two full-backs behind.
Messi retreated and the two full-backs pressed forward. Ever since, with countless TVs following the game and the gazes of professional players who also participated in the Olympics, Argentina went from 424 to 253!
Japan team 4231, Argentina 253!
8 grabs 9, one less person, but Argentina is stronger personally. Messi is not the 35-year-old Messi now, and his running ability has not deteriorated yet!
Not long after, Messi relied on his keen awareness to intercept Honda Keisuke's return pass. However, the Japanese team was relatively tight at this time, and Messi did not have a good chance, so he had to pass the ball back to Ma Ma. , but it was also at this time that a scene that shocked countless other teams appeared!
Argentina has taken possession of the ball, but they still play in a 253 formation in the frontcourt!
"What does this mean? Two centre-halves? They don't want to pass the ball deep?"
Looking at Argentina in the 253 formation on the TV screen, De Bruyne frowned deeply, his eyes full of confusion.
The 253 formation seems to be more stable in controlling the ball because there are more midfielders, but it is not the case.
Controlling the ball requires not only width, but also depth, and 253 is two central defenders trailing behind.
In order to defend the Japanese team's lone forward, Argentina's double central defenders cannot extend the width to provide width, and the double central defenders cannot form a <formation, one person is missing.
If the back line cannot form a < formation, it is very easy to be pressed, because the central defender holding the ball has very few release points.
In order to avoid the risk of the central defender stealing the ball, this will make it difficult for Argentina's back line to participate in the ball control organization!
Therefore, the 253 with two central defenders and five midfielders seems to be more stable in controlling the ball, but in fact it is not conducive to controlling the ball at all!
And Argentina is now pressing with the whole team, obviously they want to press high and use passing control to penetrate the ground!
Playing pass and control, but using a formation that is very unsuitable for pass and control.
Very contradictory, De Bruyne frowned as he watched the scene on the TV, but soon, as Chen Mo moved quickly on the TV, Hazard next to him hugged his head and shouted: "Oh my God! It's unexpected. So, he wants to use his running ability to make up for the lack of passing points between the two central defenders?! What kind of monster is he?!"
Hazard's face was full of shock. Not only Hazard, but also De Bruyne, Kompany, Vermaelen and other Belgian players and their coaches saw Chen Mo running at full speed on the TV screen. They were all shocked. Eyes wide open, disbelief written on his face!
Yes, because the two central defenders lack a ball release point, it is very risky to participate in the organization and delivery, and it is easy to be forced to death or steal the ball, but the solution to the problem is also very simple, provide a connection point!
At this time, Chen Mo's running ability was revealed!
Because Argentina presses from a high position, the distance between the three lines of the defender, midfielder and striker is not too far, and Chen Mo’s physical fitness is bottomless and his speed is also fast. Every time the ball comes back to the center defender, he will immediately start from the midfielder. Drop back to the back line and form a < formation with the two central defenders!
Relying on the world's strongest physical fitness and speed, Chen Mo directly defended the central midfielder and shouldered it!
No one has ever done such a thing!
Not to mention the Belgian players, everyone in the world who was paying attention to this game and knew about football was shocked!
"This monster! And he and Leo are so compatible!"
On the other side of the world, in Spain, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. After a day of work, he was lying on the sofa in the villa drinking wolfberry tea and watching the pictures on TV. Guardiola shook his head with excitement and emotion!
Yes, Chen Mo can keep moving. In addition to Chen Mo's strong physical fitness, another reason is that Chen Mo's current teammate is Messi!
Messi of this age group is not particularly strong in long-term connection, but his ability to deliver threatening balls is still top-notch.
Messi doesn't need to get the ball too much, he can just wait in the midfielder position for Chen Mo to mobilize the opponent's defense in the midfield and backfield!
And this is the reason why the two of them are compatible!
Messi is not a player who likes to organize and hold the ball for a long time. Messi prefers to break through and shoot by himself, or make the kind of final pass that penetrates the defense.
In this formation, Chen Mo's position needs to be further back!
Therefore, although Chen Mo can make up for the problem of the back line, he can still rely on passing and controlling to mobilize the opponent's defense. However, because of his relatively deep position, although the vertical impact is still maintained, he has the opportunity to send penetrating balls and the threat of his own breakthrough. It will definitely drop, but Messi just makes up for what Chen Mo is missing!
Moreover, Messi is said to be a right winger, but everyone knows how strong Messi is as a false nine, but when he moves to the midfielder position, he does not need to take on too many organizational tasks. Messi will not lose his original lethality!
Chen Mo used his constant movement and passing to mobilize the opponent's defense. Messi looked for opportunities to break through from the attacking midfielder position, hit a shot and send the final pass!
Messi was not affected in any way, and Chen Mo lost part of his offensive firepower, but!
At the cost of sacrificing part of Chen Mo's offensive firepower, Argentina's bilateral defenders were liberated!
Chen Mo retreats, and the two full-backs can press into the midfield to participate in press organization and attack!
This deal is an absolute steal!
So the final result is that Argentina is playing 253, but it has not lost much defensive pressure. At the same time, it has strengthened its ball control and maintained the terrifying lethality of the original 424!
Argentina is like beating one more person!
This is the most suitable tactic for Chen Mo and Messi!
The team is already stronger than the Japanese team and their tactical system is suitable.
There is no doubt that with the whole world watching in shock, Argentina began to crush Japan.
There is no way, the Japanese team with 451 only has 9 players in the backcourt, and the Argentina team with 253 has 8 players in the frontcourt!
If you want to steal the ball, it will be difficult for the Japanese team to steal the ball when there is a gap in strength and no obvious advantage in numbers.
Defense, that is, 9 to 8, is equally difficult to defend!
With Chen Mo's control of the overall situation and Argentina's super offensive firepower, it didn't take long for the Japanese team's defense to begin to falter.
However, I have to say that the Japanese are indeed a very extreme and crazy nation. After discovering that they were completely unable to guard against Argentina, the Japanese team chose to give it a try and directly rush out to grab!
In the eleventh minute of the game, Chen Mo retreated to his right midfielder position and flicked his hands down, indicating that he wanted to kick the ball.
"The boss is followed by defensive players!"
If Chen Mo asked for the ball, he would definitely give it to him under normal circumstances, but in Otamendi's field of vision, Chen Mo was followed by Honda Keisuke running towards him!
In the blink of an eye, Otamendi, who was playing for Argentina for the first time, hesitated and did not give the ball to Chen Mo as requested. Instead, he sent a ball further back that required Chen Mo to run back a few steps to get it. .
"Trouble!"
"Chance!"
The moment he saw Otamendi deliver the ball, Chen Mo frowned and immediately accelerated his retreat. At the same time, Honda Keisuke also immediately opened his eyes wide!
!
Rush towards Chen Mo!
This time Otamendi seemed to have given a deeper and safer pass, but because the ball was further back, Chen Mo took the ball directly parallel to Otamendi!
You can only pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, but it is too far away from the goal!
If the ball is passed too hard, the goalkeeper will not be able to stop it, and if the ball is returned, the goalkeeper cannot catch it with his hands; if the ball is passed lightly, the goalkeeper will not be able to stop it.
The Japanese team still has striker Morimoto Takaki in front!
It is difficult for Chen Mo to handle the ball after he gets it!
Not only Keisuke Honda saw this, but all the fans in the audience became nervous. Argentina's midfielder immediately retreated to try to provide support for Chen Mo!
"Chen Mo is going to be cornered by Honda Keisuke!"
"Otamendi is confused! He passed a ball!"
The volume of the commentary was raised an octave, but in the next moment, many people jumped up from the auditorium!
At the moment when Chen Mo caught up with the ball, when Keisuke Honda hit his right rear, facing the ball rolling from the right, Chen Mo put his left foot on the ground, sat back slightly with his body weight, and raised his right foot towards the ball. Gently, "Dong——"
Amidst the crazy screams of fans holding their heads in the stands next to the cash register, the ball passed directly between Honda Keisuke's legs!
