Midfielder Ruler

Vol 5 Chapter 28: Mobile Great Wall

"Aoao"

Newcastle Stadium was filled with a fanatical atmosphere, and fans from both sides and Chinese fans made a huge cry like a mountain tsunami.

In this fanatical atmosphere, the players on both sides of the game are extremely dedicated, and their fighting spirit is high, and each ball is bound to compete.

Since both sides of the game emphasize the control of the midfield on football, the other side will always have targeted defensive deployment when the other side attacks, thus affecting the other party's forward progress.

The Chinese team's double back combination is Tang Zheng and rising star Li Kui. When the Japanese coach Aguirre got the Chinese team's starting lineup before the game, he thought that Li Kui, who was only 19 years old, would become their breakthrough. In fact, it is not young. Li Kui, who was light, did not feel timid in the top-level contest of the Asian Cup semi-finals. Instead, he performed very well. With the assistance of Tang Zheng, he successfully completed the defensive task assigned by coach Lippi before the game.

Coupled with the two defenses of Lu Liang and Wu Sanshi, the Japanese team's progress in the midfield is not smooth.

However, the Chinese team also encountered this situation in the offense, because Tang Zheng's position is too late, he can only play a transition and transfer role when the team is attacking.

It's not that he can't take the ball forward and directly participate in the offensive organization in the frontcourt, but is worried that the young Li Kui will have problems in this kind of game.

Although the performance at the beginning of the game is remarkable, who can guarantee that he will not be complacent?

Even if you are not complacent, there may be a period of inattention in the game.

Tang Zheng was also young, knowing that young players will pay tuition.

But paying tuition depends on the nature of the competition. No one can afford to lose the Asian Cup in the semifinals!

In Tang Zheng ’s heart, no glory is to be missed. This year, he is already 26. It will be four years after he missed the Asian Cup. At that time, he will be 30 years old, and his career should be almost downhill, so the last one is promoted. Tickets for the Asian Cup final must be obtained.

Several players of the Japanese team have played records with Tang Zheng and basically won the game, but the Japanese team that is integrated into a whole is difficult to deal with. The running pass has a very strong Brazilian element, and the Japanese players are skilled at the foot, very It is difficult to break the football from their feet.

In order to avoid problems in the back defense during the press, Lippi's defensive tasks arranged before the game are mainly regional defense.

The big reason is the lack of wing assaulters with the Japanese team. They rely more on the overall advancement, and then use the tacit pass-through to break the opponent's defense.

It is difficult to break the deadlock once the opponent puts out the iron bucket array, which is why the Japanese team will enter the overtime and penalty shootout with the UAE.

As the team with the most goals in this Asian Cup, the Chinese team also has excellent defensive abilities. From the first round of the group stage to playing in Saudi Arabia to the semi-finals, it has not conceded a goal.

Attacking to win fans and defending to win championships is one of the reasons why many foreign media are optimistic about the Chinese team winning the championship.

The defense will not win the game, but the Chinese team will attack forward in Tang Zheng's county after completing the defensive work, and then score a goal.

It is precisely because of this possibility that Japanese head coach Aguirre did not arrange a detailed offensive task before the game, more about the defensive level.

This Chinese team is no longer a mobile cash machine for the Japanese team, but a 'big Mac' with both defenses!

※※※

Tang Zheng, who wore the captain's armband in this game, was very active. He worked **** the defensive end and often saw his shadow on the offensive end.

Although he has not yet entered the core offensive area, but his vision and passing are often able to send football to the most threatening places.

Lu Liang's condition is very good, his breakthrough on the left of the offense almost broke the Japanese team's right defense into a paralyzed state.

Wu Sanshi was a bit quiet on the right, and those who were good at assists were not able to participate in the offense.

Of course, the rigorous tactics that Lippi arranged before the game are directly related.

That is to say, during the first ten minutes of the game, both sides carried out a tentative attack to prepare for the acceleration of the next game.

The game continued until the twentieth minute before the two sides contributed their first shot to the goal range.

Tang Zheng made a continuous pass with Hao Junmin in the attacking 40-meter area, and then suddenly kicked the ball to the right side with the outside of the right foot of the right foot. Biography, the football rolled unexpectedly against the turf to the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

Lu Liang, who appears on the pass line, does not need to make any adjustments. All he has to do is complete a shot.

The quality of the shot was very high, flying to the upper right corner of the goal with a roar.

The Japanese goalkeeper Kawashima Yongji was very focused and flew sideways, pulling the ball out of the beam with one palm.

"Oh oh"

At the same time, a cry of excitement subconsciously made by Japanese fans rang over Newcastle Stadium.

If it is not the goalkeeper Yongji Kawashima's concentration, the goal of the national team they support is likely to be broken by Lu Liang.

Immediately, Japanese head coach Aguirre stood up from the coach seat, walked excitedly to the side of the side and pointed at his temple with two fingers, then said aloud: "Focus on the game, focus on the game! Do not Give your opponent any chance to shoot! "

As soon as the words fell, he looked at the team long and honest, pointing to Tang Zheng who was running to the penalty area and said loudly: "The corner kick defense must give me a good look at Tang, and don't give him any chance to fight for the header!"

Not far away, Chinese head coach Lippi stood in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team with his hands raised above his head, and encouraged the team by clapping his hands, and continued to work hard.

Lu Liang, who didn't score a goal, first pulled his hair, then turned to face his right thumb, showing the beauty of the pass.

Hao Junmin took the offense on the right and the football flew towards the penalty spot with a clear inner arc.

There are Tang Zheng, Feng Xiaoting, Yoshida Maya, Hasebe Makoto and Okazaki Shinji, but no one is as tall as Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng has an absolute advantage in judging where the football is.

Therefore, on the corner defense, the Japanese team has close to three defensive players placed in Tang Zheng. However, Tang Zheng still grabbed the soccer goal in the three-team combination of Yoshida Maya, Hasebe Makoto and Okazaki Shinji.

However, their dedication was also rewarding. Tang Zheng failed to adjust the front sight in the Japanese player's three-man team and the football missed the goal post.

Watching the football miss the goal post, Maya Yoshida, Makoto Hasebe, and Secretary Okazaki breathed out, and then looked at Tang Zheng tacitly.

They thought Tang Zheng would feel sorry, but Tang Zheng jogged towards his own half without returning, and seemed to care little about the confrontation.

Suddenly, there was a trace of frustration in their hearts.

I thought Tang Zheng would feel pressured in his defense and vent some things, but Tang Zheng didn't, and it looked more like a confrontation.

In fact, this is true in Tang Zheng's mind.

The personal strength of Japanese players is not strong, but the integrity is strong. Tang Zheng also has his own sense of superiority. Especially in this kind of competition that emphasizes physical confrontation, he must maintain a high image and make Japanese players look up.

Want to reach the final?

nonexistent!

With the Chinese team getting two shots, the Japanese team also tried to make the offense more direct.

However, striker Okazaki Shinji felt very bad in front of the goal. Under the interference of Feng Xiaoting, the ball was missed and he didn't even get a corner kick.

Two minutes later, Okazaki Shinji once again got a shot in the penalty area, and Yoshida Maya directly played a long pass to find Okazaki Shinji. The latter very cleverly used the chest to put the ball to the right rib of the penalty area and then rushed to Feng Xiaoting A volley was completed before the blockade.

The Japanese fans in the stands subconsciously raised their arms and opened their mouths, preparing to make a loud deafening loud cry.

After half a second, the passionate and angry Japanese fans seemed to be strangled by their throats and could not make any sound.

Because ... the football flew directly to the second floor stands.

Chinese fans, who were still nervous before, let out a breath of laughter and laughed at Okazaki Shinji's shot.

Nonetheless, Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, said loudly to Tang Zheng, who was looking at the coach seat: "Hey ~ Tang, stay a little behind and protect the central defender."

In the next game, Tang Zheng was consciously positioned further back, very close to the two central defenders, thus playing the role of intercepting the Japanese team's direct attack in the air.

The j-sports-1 commentator did not understand the Japanese team ’s offense, frowning and saying, “We should n’t have trouble in the middle offensive attack and choose direct long pass rushing tactics, because that ’s not our familiar offense routine. Unless the ball is particularly tacit, it is difficult to achieve results, so sticking to our usual tactical approach is the closest way to score ... "

※※※

In the blink of an eye, the game reached thirty minutes, and the score displayed on the scoreboard had not changed. It was still 0: 0.

Red is like fire, blue is like water, the Chinese and Japanese teams on the field are fighting hard for the Asian Cup finals, and the red and blue fan areas on the stands continue to shout, making this China-Japan war The atmosphere of the game is particularly fanatical.

In this context, the players on both sides of the game are also particularly invested.

However, the score did not change. As time passed slowly, the players' impatience gradually manifested, especially for the Japanese players who had not played their own offense. The game began to be now invisible by Kagawa Maji and Honda Keiyu who are basically invisible. obvious.

Kagawa Shinji was very irritable after the ball was intercepted once, but he did not close his foot when he counter-robbed. He directly kicked Wu Sanshi in the back, and immediately caused strong dissatisfaction with the young and flamboyant Li Kui. Excited and sprayed Kagawa Shinji's entire face with saliva.

The foul Shinji Kagawa first raised his arms and expressed his innocence. He, who was questioned by Li Kui, was stunned.

The nearby Honda Keiyu and Endo Baoren responded quickly, and they all rushed to Li Kui to discuss their claims.

The game's experienced team Masaki Hasebe and Okazaki Shinji looked at the referee Hassan, saying that Li Kui's approach was unsportsmanlike.

Chinese players naturally cannot tolerate the younger brother Li Kui being "bullyed" by Japanese players. Even if Li Kui's reaction is too intense, captain Tang Zheng bears the brunt, but his maintenance is well justified. He first consciously pushed Li Kui away, and then his hands Lost to the back, with the developed pectoral muscles 'top open' Honda Keiyou and Endo Baoren.

"Beep ~~"

At this time, the whistle of the UAE-based referee Hassan was too late.

Tang Zheng is 1.94 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms. He is so condescending that he looks at Endo Baoren and Honda Keiyou, so that the two of them are much weaker in momentum.

When they responded, the referee Hassan's whistle also sounded, and thinking that the attack was too late, it was like saying that he had eaten a boring loss.

Hassan, who came to the scene of the incident, first separated the two players, and then settled the bill after the fall.

Kajikawa Kazuka, whose anti-robbing action was too large, was the first to show a yellow card, and Li Kui, who almost caused a conflict between the two sides of the match, also got a yellow card.

Like Tang Zheng, Hasebe Makoto and Honda Keiyou did not receive the yellow card, the referee Hassan only gave a verbal warning.

In these two yellow cards, it is obvious that the Chinese team suffers even more, because Li Kui is a defensive midfielder and Kagawa Shinji is an offensive midfielder.

In terms of eating rate, obviously the defensive midfielder is higher.

In this regard, He Wei, the central 5 commentator, said: "According to this detail, it is not difficult to see that Li Kui is too young and very impulsive. Tang Zheng, who is the captain of the Chinese team in this game, is very clever. His hands are lost to the movements behind his back. While suppressing the arrogance of Japanese players, he still fails to meet the standard of eating. It can be said that Endo Baoren and Honda Keiyu have suffered a loss in this "confrontation". "

The commentator Xu Yang then added: "However, Li Kui who has received the yellow card should be more careful in the next game. Captain Tang Zheng should pay more attention to the defensive pressure on Li Kui's side. Once Li Kui's defensive action is too large, it is very It may lead to his second yellow card in this game. UAE-based referee Hassan is very strict with our players in the AFC Championship ... "

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV suddenly remembered that in the past few AFC championships, the UAE national referee did not give Chinese players a red card ...

The current Porto players and Gao Lin who had played the AFC Champions League on behalf of Guangzhou Evergrande had both suffered Hasan's losses ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ were sent off. ,

Of course, the fans' concerns are only temporary, because their focus has returned to the China-Japan War, which concerns the finals of the Asian Cup.

There was a small conflict just now, the gunpowder smell showed signs of escalation, and Japanese players consciously targeted the young and vigorous Li Kui.

As the captain, Tang Zheng was very worried that Li Kui would be unable to control his emotions, and was prepared to remind him, but Li Kui's calmness was unexpected. He was indifferent to the deliberate violation of Japanese players during the pass transition, just like a very honest The elementary school students are very clever.

On the contrary, a big action foul by Endo Baoren got a yellow card, so that the young 5 commentator He Wei looked at Li Kui: "I really can't see that the young Li Kui has this kind of forbearance, as time, It will inevitably grow into a mobile great wall for the Chinese midfield defense. "

It is true that Li Kui has a solid defensive skills, and can often make a stop by virtue of his rapid response, and his super coverage ability in running can be regarded as the mobile Great Wall.
