Fox in the Penalty Area

5Chapter 86: Some change

The Japanese team’s starting formation is 442, which is also their traditional formation. The Japanese team, which has studied under Brazilian football, has persisted in this formation for decades.

The four midfielders can indeed ensure their advantage in the midfield.

On the front line, the Japanese team started the game with Masato Hirokawa and Itonu. The former played for La Liga strong team Valentia and the latter played for Bundesliga Armée.

Although Masato Guangchuan plays for a La Liga team like Valentia, he is not the main player, but a rotation player. Moreover, he himself is not a scoring forward in Valentia’s tactics, but more like a tactical center. Passing, entanglement, frontcourt counter-grabbing… Do everything, but only score fewer goals.

After half of La Liga this season, he only scored one league goal, one goal in the Copa del Rey, and no goal in the Champions League.

Neither the fans nor the coach of Valentia, hope for him in scoring.

He can join Valentia, and can also get the opportunity to play as a rotation player, but it is definitely not a goal. It’s the hard-working attitude of the game, as well as the attributes of his panacea.

Itonu is the main force in the middle and lower Bundesliga team Armen, and has scored five goals in the Bundesliga this season and performed well.

He scored more goals than Guangchuan Masaru, but compared with Hu Lai… it is really not enough.

Therefore, the scoring ability of the two main strikers of the Japanese team is relatively poor.

Of course, it depends on how it compares.

Said that they are poor because the target is the Chinese striker… or to be precise, the reference standard is Hu Lai.

In fact, this kind of comparison is demanding Japanese forwards. After all, no one in Asia can be better than Hu Lai.

Even South Korea’s main forward Park Chun-tae has scored four goals in the Premier League this season, which is far behind Hu Lai’s eleven Premier League goals. Hu Lai is simply born to score goals, and he can only score goals. If a forward only examines the quality of goals, no one can compare to Hu Lai. But if it is comprehensive strength, Hu Lai may not be ranked…

If not for Hulaibi, the Japanese team’s striker combination is still top-notch in Asia.

So it is not the Japanese team attacking to pull the hips, but the Chinese team’s offense is too strong.

In the Japanese team’s tactics, in addition to the task of scoring goals, Hirokawa Masato and Itonu were also responsible for containing the Chinese team’s defense line and creating open opportunities for the midfielder to be inserted.

The previous shot by Yonezawa Masao was a manifestation of this offensive tactic.

This requires the Chinese midfielder to come back in time to help the defense and protect the open space in front of the defense.

Therefore, Dong Jianhai has a double midfielder lineup in this game, Jiang Wanqing is full-time defending, and Xia Xiaoyu has to withdraw in time.

Under such circumstances, he asked the Chinese team to take the flank as much as possible when attacking, quickly pass through the midfield, not to entangle with the opponent here, but also have defensive considerations-on the one hand, to avoid the Chinese team from losing the ball in the midfield and being caught by the opponent. The possibility of direct counterattack. On the other hand, it will not affect Xia Xiaoyu’s participation in the defense. He only needs to play the football long pass to the front court or separate sides when attacking, which can effectively reduce his pressure in the game.

At the same time, the two wingers Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai must also actively return to assist the defense.

Therefore, when the Chinese team is defensive, the formation is actually 451, and Hu Lai alone is in the front to contain the Japanese central defender.

“Dong still made some changes and didn’t blindly copy the set. Isn’t it good?” Dillon, who was watching the game with Yu Jintao, commented in front of the TV.

“But this approach is really risky…” Yu Jintao said.

Dillon curled his lips: “But it’s worth it. Dong’s problem before is too conservative and requires stability in everything. The results that can be stabilized are often not stable. Moreover, the Chinese team is not that stable style… So many young people are in one place. In a team, they are required to be stable… Isn’t this contradictory?”

Yu Jintao was speechless because he felt that Dillon was right.

Although there are veterans like Yao Huasheng, Hao De and Jiang Wanqing in this Chinese team, more people are still young people like Hu Lai and Xia Xiaoyu. The national team dominated by young people will naturally be more aggressive.

For example, in the current TV broadcast, the Chinese team is launching an offensive on the flank.

After receiving the ball, Chen Xingyi faced the Japanese right back Yoshita Kiyota who approached him from the side. He didn’t hesitate or made any other attempts. He directly sprinted the football forward, leaping more than ten meters in one breath, and then relying on him. The advantage in starting up catches up.

In this way, the most simple and direct speed competition method was used to break through the defense of the Japanese team.

This is a typical young man’s style of playing, relying on his good physical fitness and speed advantage to play this way. Players who are getting older, after suffering a few more injuries, don’t have the patience and heart.

Kiyota Yoshihide, who played for the strong Turkish team Asia Minor, was not slow, but in front of Chen Xingyi’s unreasonable way of playing, he chased both with difficulty and embarrassment.

Finally, seeing central defender Takehiro Nakaoka coming from the middle to the side lane to help defend, he gave up chasing Chen Xingyi and turned off to protect the empty space left by Takehiro Nakaoka.

Chen Xingyi didn’t wait for Nakaoka Takehiro to force him to come up, and he passed it directly.

This time it was Luo Kai who grabbed the spot in the middle. He was almost the same in height as the Japanese team Kengo Yamagata, and he had a speed advantage. Then the momentum of the sprint jumped up high, and he still grabbed the spot under the interference of Kengo Yamagata. Push the football to the goal!

It’s a pity that the top is high!

“Fuck me!” Yu Jintao regretfully couldn’t help but explode.

“Although the goal was not scored, this is the way the Chinese team should stick to it. To deal with the Japanese team, we must not entangle them in the midfield. We have to use the simplest and rude methods to threaten their defense.” Dillon said Dong Jianhai’s tactics agreed. “Of course, it would be nice if we could change a little bit…”

“Slow down appropriately?”

“No, the speed cannot be slow, it must be so fast all the time. What I am talking about is not a change in rhythm, but a change in offensive style. It is always such a cross from the side, which is better to defend… the two of the Japanese team The height of the defender is not high, but their goalkeeper Nobuo Nishiguchi has increased the range of attack and has begun to consciously expand the control area.”

Dillon pointed to the screen, where Luo Kai’s ball was being replayed just now, and he signaled Yu Jintao to pay attention to Nobuo Nishiguchi’s position.

When Chen Xingyi was advancing on the wing, Nobuo Nishiguchi did not stand on the goal line, but stood on the penalty zone line.

If Chen Xingyi passes the ball closer to the goal, Nobuo Nishiguchi can intercept it directly.

Chen Xingyi eventually passed the football to the back, and perhaps he also had this consideration-he was afraid that his cross would be directly stopped by Nobuo Nishiguchi.

※※※

Xia Xiaoyu passed the football from behind the center line to Chen Xingyi, who was on the sidelines to respond.

Qu Lu, the left back of the Chinese team, began to accelerate along the sideline, ready to slip in.

Obviously the Chinese team has to seek cooperation on the wing again.

This is their fixed routine during the previous counterattacks.

The Japanese players know how to attack the Chinese team even if they close their eyes.

Right defender Kiyota Yoshihide did not go to the sideline immediately, but slightly inwardly, standing alone against Chen Xingyi and Qu Lu.

At the same time, central defender Takehiro Nakaoka is also moving closer here, intending to help defend.

Zhang Qinghuan, who was supposed to be in the middle, did not directly insert into the restricted area this time to form multiple points of contact with Hu Lai.

He suddenly moved laterally to meet Chen Xingyi who was holding the ball, and at the same time shouted to him: “Chen Xingyi!”

Chen Xingyi, who was named, saw Brother Huan running towards him, and passed the football without hesitation. Then he turned and inserted forward!

Zhang Qinghuan suddenly came to the frontcourt to catch the ball, and Fujikazu, the midfielder of the Japanese team, quickly went up to defend.

But Zhang Qinghuan didn’t wait for Kudo Kazuo to post it, and didn’t stop the ball, so he kicked out the football that was passed by Chen Xingyi!

Instead of passing the football back to the forward Chen Xingyi, he used his left foot to create an arc and let the football fly directly to the left rib of the Japanese team’s penalty area.

There Hu Lai is running towards the drop point with Qian Wu on the mountain!

“Zhang Qinghuan directly passed it… Hu Lai! Opportunity!”

“The offense of the Chinese team, be careful!”

The narrators of the two countries raised their voices at the same time.

Luo Kai, who was originally on the other side of the ribs, saw the ball and quickly moved closer to the middle.

He saw clearly that Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball suddenly, but it was very difficult to receive it-on the one hand, because it was a high ball, the high ball itself was difficult to handle. On the other hand, Hu Lai ran laterally to catch the ball. When he receives the ball, he will almost face the goal with his back, basically without shooting angle. Coupled with Kengo Yamagami’s close defense, it is difficult to shoot directly under such circumstances.

Regardless of whether Hu Lai wants to force a shot or stop the ball to seek opportunities again, Luo Kai must appear in the middle and be prepared to respond.

Didn’t you see that Chen Xingyi was still pushing forward resolutely?

It is for Hu Lai to pass the football to the side after stopping the ball, and then Chen Xingyi passes again, and there must be someone in the middle.

And Luo Kai was the only one.

“Very good! Yamagami’s attention is very concentrated, he has not been thrown away by Hu Lai!” The Japanese commentator praised the team captain.

The captain of the Bundesliga Hashia, whether in the club or in the national team, is a reassuring central defender.

With him, the threat of the Chinese team’s offense would not be that big.

Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball directly without stopping. The quality of this pass was already very high, and he really wanted to catch the Japanese team’s defense by surprise.

But Qianwu’s quick response made Zhang Qinghuan’s plan doomed to fail!

※※※

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered, and the Japanese fans screamed.

The voices of the two sides were intertwined, like a pouring rain, which covered all other voices.

In this hustle and bustle, Hu Lai, who was running, looked back to observe the football flying in the air.

The football kept spinning in the air, falling down, and the direction was exactly where he was running.

He began to adjust his pace.

Kengo Yamagami also turned his head to observe the ball coming in the air, and at the same time he caught a glimpse of Hu Lai from the corner of his eye, which seemed to slow down.

The experienced he knew this was Hu Lai adjusting his pace.

He wants to shoot directly? !

But for this ball, he can only choose his left foot…

Kengo Yamagami didn’t think about it so much and decided to post it. He definitely couldn’t let Hu Lai make a successful shot!

The Japanese team’s previous loss was because he allowed Hu Lai to complete a kick shot. Although he could not directly score, Hu Lai’s shot created a chance for Chen Xingyi to make a supplementary shot.

Therefore, defending Hu Lai is not only to prevent him from scoring a goal, but also to prevent him from even kicking!

The football fell from the outside.

Hu Lai raised his left foot, but instead of shooting, he moved forward normally.

The football fell further.

Hu Lai leaned sideways and blocked Shan Shang Qianwu behind him, and at the same time lifted his right foot…to flutter the fallen football!

He shot!

Outside instep shoot!

This went far beyond Kengo Shan’s expectations. He put all his attention on Hu Lai’s left foot. He didn’t expect the opponent to shoot with the back of his right foot!

He failed to make any action to intercept interference, so he witnessed Hu Lai finish shooting from the closest distance!

“Hu Lai——!!!”

He Feng only saw Hu Lai in the penalty area raising his right leg in the commentary booth~www.wuxiax.com~ Then the football jumped up in front of him, drawing a parabola and falling to the back corner of the goal!

The Japanese goalkeeper Nobuo Nishiguchi originally blocked Hu Lai’s shot at the previous point. When he saw the football flying over, he could only jump on the spot and wave his arms upwards, trying to get the football out.

But the flying height of the football is much higher than his hand can reach…

He waved his hand into the air, and could only watch the football fall towards the goal behind him!

He can no longer stop this ball…no one in the entire Japanese team can stop it!

The football flies into the goal from the junction of the back beam and the goal post!

In thirty-eight minutes, the Chinese team scored another goal, leading the Japanese team with two goals!
