Nine Hundred and Thirty-Six This Damn Sense of Oppression!
The more the Japanese team wanted to achieve the effect of passing and controlling, the more confident Ye Yifeng became.
Having played in European football for many years, starting from the Bundesliga match against Munich, to the Infinite War with Barcelona, and then to the peak showdown between the Manchester City duo, Ye Yifeng has accumulated a lot of experience.
He also understands the internal factors behind the development direction of Japanese football in recent years.
Not to mention what the best football should look like.
The Japanese team has set its goal to win the World Cup, but only a positive technical and tactical style can cultivate more talented players.
At the same time, they are also well aware of the inherent shortcomings of Asians in physical conditions.
How to make up for it?
technology.
This is what the textbooks tell every football player.
But technology serves tactics.
At the tactical level, they still played relatively conservatively on the World Cup stage. When there is a counterattack environment, the team can also play a beautiful offensive and intuitive threat.
But once they lose the environment for defensive counterattack, they will also be ravaged by the world's top teams.
Back in Asia, they can completely suppress other opponents with their technological advantages.
There is no reason to give up this advantage and go for defensive counterattacks.
But is the Japanese team really capable of crushing all opponents?
not necessarily!
Four days ago, Oman, ranked 80th in the world, unexpectedly defeated the Japanese team. This is the best proof.
The most critical point of offensive tactics is the striker, not the midfielder and defender.
Manchester City has begun to decline in both European and civil wars in recent years, and the reason lies in the front line.
Looking at the data, Manchester City almost never lost to its opponents.
However, the forward efficiency and performance at critical moments are in sharp contrast to the strong advantage the team has established in every game.
The Japanese team is now in a similar situation.
In Asia, they can suppress or restrain their opponents on the scene, but for so many years, there has never been a killer on the front line that can scare their opponents!
Shinji Okazaki, the most successful striker in China Travel Europe, is just a winger.
Rather than the center who poses the greatest threat in front of the goal.
When the Japanese team started to explode from the wing, Ye Yifeng directed two midfielders to help defend, and he himself took over the position.
Wang Dalei also directed the two full-backs to guard key positions and then the others to help defend.
And he himself dared to expand his defensive range even if he was forced by his opponent.
When the Japanese team sent a through ball into the penalty area, he made two decisive attacks to stifle the opponent's offensive threat.
Not a bad performance.
The Chinese team's counterattacks continued, but the strikers still couldn't get past Maya Yoshida and Kenyo Fukuan, the strongest center back pairing in Asia!
The Japanese fans in front of the TV were very nervous.
Because they had a hunch that Ye Yifeng would rush into the frontcourt at any time and deliver a fatal blow!
The oppression caused by this panic is even more uncomfortable.
Even if Ye Yifeng only defends in the backcourt and organizes offense, he hasn't come forward yet.
But everyone knows that he will definitely not be lonely, and the threats waiting for opportunities are the most difficult to guard against.
When the Japanese team encountered the Chinese team's backcourt chopping tactics, their offense began to obviously speed up the pace, trying to avoid the Chinese team's players and win with speed.
Ye Yifeng's supplementary defense played a key role and forced the Japanese team to take long-range shots.
At the end of the half, the Japanese team blasted 11 shots and hit 2 of them.
The efficiency is impressive.
The Chinese team only had one shot, which made people cry even more.
On the way back to the locker room, Lippi was thinking about how to adjust.
He knew that although the striker was stronger than before.
But becoming stronger does not mean that you will be able to do earth-shattering things.
Judging from the performance in the first half, no matter how hard these three forwards try, they may not be able to make waves in front of Japan's goal.
Ye Yifeng is good in both offense and defense in the backcourt, and the team cannot do without him in the backcourt.
Compared with some drastic adjustments in the past, which were expected to bring immediate results to the game, today's conditions are not sufficient.
Although the Chinese team won the best in this game, the bottom line is not to lose.
After pondering for a moment, he settled on an idea.
Thanks to the fact that the team also has a man who dominates European football.
Otherwise, he will definitely fall into a situation where he is helpless and his mind is blank.
He returned to the locker room to make adjustments intensively, and then gave the team a boost.
After blocking the Japanese team's offensive in the first half, the opponent will inevitably strengthen their attack in the second half.
In fact, the situation of the Japanese team is worse than that of the Chinese team.
They had already lost to Oman in an upset before even touching Australia.
If the Chinese team does not score 3 points, they will fall behind at the start of the top 12 competition.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Japanese team attacked immediately, and the Chinese team was well prepared. At the same time, the team was getting better in the second half of the first half. Although the players in the backcourt could not be expected to contribute to the offense, the defense also found a rhythm and feel. .
When the Chinese team took control of the ball and launched a counterattack, Ye Yifeng still stayed in the backcourt to organize and instigate.
But the Japanese team still noticed the changes in the Chinese team's offense.
In the first half, the Chinese team rushed from the wing without thinking. If they couldn't rush past, they would pass the ball.
In the second half, it was still a fast attack from the wing, but it was no longer a sudden or forced cross.
Luo Guofu came to the center position, but he did the job of supporting the side.
Whether it is Alan or Wu Lei, when he has the ball on the wing, he will run to receive it.
The Japanese team's defense line will naturally tilt.
Originally, the Japanese team's defense generals didn't make a fuss.
But Maya Yoshida suddenly shouted to Shibazaki Take: "Hurry up and steal the ball!"
Shibazaki Yue didn't know what was going on, but he quickly stepped forward to tighten the pressure.
Fukuan Kenyo also shouted to Endo Hang: "Keep an eye on him! Don't lose him!"
The strongest central defender combination in Asian football is already starting to feel numb!
Because within their sight, they had already seen Ye Yifeng stepping through the midfield. Even if Ye Yifeng did not rush up quickly, after jogging into the frontcourt, the two central defenders of the Japanese team could not ignore his presence.
Invisible pressure suddenly rises!
Ye Yifeng is still far away from them, but he is getting closer from far away!
This damn oppressive feeling!
Takerai suddenly made a breakthrough from the wing. Although he got rid of Shibasaki Gaku's pressing, Nagatomo Yuto, who returned to defense, tripped from behind and fell to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Yuto Nagatomo.
Ye Yifeng walked up slowly, Wu Lei came close to respond, and Luo Guofu and Alan were preparing to fight in the penalty area.
Ye Yifeng took the free kick from the wing and dropped it into the penalty area before immediately retreating.
The pressure on the Japanese team's defense suddenly eased!
But when the next wave of Chinese teams changed sides and played on the left, a similar scene appeared again.
Alan controlled the ball on the left, and Luo Guofu came close to support and cooperate. When the Japanese team was partially encircled and suppressed, Ye Yifeng passed half the game, but the speed was still not fast, and it seemed that the offensive will was not determined!
But even so, the Japanese team did not dare to take risks!
There is nothing you can do about Ye Yifeng without the ball. If Ye Yifeng speeds up and receives a pass from his teammate, the impact on the defense will be life-threatening!
Whose life are you playing with?
The Japanese team’s life!
As a result, the Japanese team's backcourt defense will suddenly increase its pressing aggressiveness in a short period of time.
When Alan seized the opportunity to cut inside from Ito Junya, Endo Hiro immediately stepped in to intercept. Alan protected the ball first, causing the opponent's pressing to become a foul.
The Chinese team got a direct free kick opportunity about 25 yards from the goal.
Ye Yifeng came to the foul position, and there were still only four Chinese team players in the frontcourt.
Two forwards entered the penalty area, one was near Ye Yifeng, and then Ye Yifeng took a free kick.
This time he chose to shoot directly.
The football slides past.
It just looks scary.
It failed to hit the door frame.
Ye Yifeng quickly retreated without changing his attitude.
Mori Yasuichi frowned on the sidelines.
I still don’t understand what the Chinese team is going to do.
The counterattack was not as clean and tidy as the first half. Although the quality of the counterattack in the first half was frighteningly low, at least the attitude and direction of action were towards the Japanese team's goal.
Lippi always looked heavy.
His fine-tuning in the midfield was to use Ye Yifeng's feint to intimidate the Japanese team's defense!
Or it can allow the strikers to use simple coordination to seize the gaps and penetrate the defense.
Either win a free kick and let Ye Yifeng score the goal.
Although it is not as exciting as studying with your eyes closed and resigned to fate.
But it is definitely more reliable than simply relying on the three forwards to act recklessly.
As the game time passed, the Japanese team was forced to increase its offense to the maximum, putting more pressure on the defense.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Nagatomo Yuto's cross from the left wing flew over the penalty area, but no one hit the ball.
The ball was controlled by Jiu Boying on the other wing. The Chinese team's full-back Wang Shenchao and Jin Jingdao went to press together, so Jiu Boying passed the ball back in an inverted triangle in an attempt to find Junya Ito.
But before Junya Ito responded, Ye Yifeng passed diagonally in front of him and took the ball away!
Junya Ito immediately turned around and returned to defense, heading towards Ye Yifeng with the intention of committing a direct foul.
However, Ye Yifeng passed the ball 10 yards and then sent a through ball.
Alan ran forward quickly along the left wing, and when he encountered Endo Hong, he passed the ball diagonally to the center.
Ye Yifeng immediately passed half the game.
Luo Guofu burst forward after controlling the ball in front of him.
Both Yoshida Maya and Fuyasu Jianyang saw Luo Guofu and also noticed Ye Yifeng who was 20 yards behind him!
When Luo Guofu reaches the front area of the penalty area and slows down to control the ball, he can pass back or pass the ball to Wu Lei who is running quickly and cutting inside.
While protecting the ball, Shibazaki took the shovel decisively out of desperation.
Luo Guofu had no time to pass the ball and changed direction to protect the ball.
Shibazaki Yue failed to tackle the ball and instead tackled Luo Guofu to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Shibazaki Taketake, and then gave him a yellow card.
Direct free kick approximately 20 yards from goal.
Ye Yifeng stood in front of the football again.
The referee blows the whistle.
Ye Yifeng took a running approach, swinging his arms to support his legs, and finished in one go.
The football took off from the ground, passed over the right edge of the wall, and then began to spin and fall rapidly!
Goalkeeper Gonda Shuichi quickly ran from near the far post to the left post.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, he made a save even though he was not in place.
And even if he made a save, he didn't shorten the distance from the football much.
Because the arc of Ye Yifeng's curve ball was extremely exaggerated!
When the football flew into the upper left corner of the goal, the Japanese team members felt like a thunderbolt!
Mori Yasuichi was stunned!
The Chinese team, which had little chance, relied on continuous set kicks to break the deadlock!
