Chapter 150: Hu Lai's tactical role

"The Chinese team is trying to cooperate on the side... Chen Xingyi and Xia Xiaoyu are over by one! Good job!"
When Chen Xingyi received the pass from Xia Xiaoyu, he picked the football forward and dodged the Mexican players who came up to grab the ball.
There was a huge cheer from the stadium stands.
Mexico's reaction was also quick, and someone immediately came up to block Chen Xingyi's route along the wing to dribble the ball forward.
Chen Xingyi did not entangle with the opponent here, but passed the football sideways.
It was given to Xia Xiaoyu who came up to meet him.
Xia Xiaoyu then quickly transferred the football to Zhang Qinghuan, who was already in the middle.
Zhang Qinghuan tried to find Hu Lai straight, and the latter had already started to run, but after the football passed, it was destroyed by Mexico's central defender Jose Tona with a tackle.
"Oh! What a pity!" He Feng sighed, and then immediately said, "But it doesn't matter! The quality of the Chinese team's offense is very high! Tona also took a huge risk to shovel. Because he didn't shovel, Zhang Qinghuan The pass of "will penetrate the Mexican defense. And it is possible for him to shovel through..."
Although the Chinese team's attack did not succeed, thunderous applause rang out from the stands after the initial sigh.
This is how the fans are encouraging the team in this way.
After all, the performance of the Chinese team on the court is really good.
They are still able to create such an opportunity in the face of Mexico. And this is not an opportunity created by accident, and such an opportunity is not once or twice after the start of the game.
In this China Cup, Mexico is the well-deserved first team.
The strongest of the four teams.
In the entire world of football, Mexico can also be regarded as a "strong team."
In the latest FIFA standings, the Mexican national team is ranked 17th, which is higher than the ranking of the Asian hegemony Japan-Japan is ranked 28th.
As for China, FIFA ranks fiftyth and Asia fifth.
It can be said that Mexico is a huge catfish in Asian football.
So when everyone saw that the Chinese team played back and forth with Mexico in the first half, and did not lose the wind at all, many people were ecstatic-the progress of the Chinese team in the last game was not because of the strength of the South African team. It's not strong, it's not a flash in the pan, and it's not their illusion!
This team has indeed improved in all aspects!
Of course, Mexico who came to participate in the China Cup and Mexico in the World Cup have a different mentality of players, so the performance cannot be simply equated.
But despite this, the Chinese fans are also very happy.
The characteristics of Mexican football are that the players have good skills, quickness, and physicality. They have the delicate skills of South American players, as well as the overall coordination of Spanish football.
Such a team, if let them play smoothly, it will be very scary.
Even strong teams like Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and Italy will be planted at the feet of Mexico.
Therefore, Dillon's strategy for the Chinese team is basically to use the advantage of the number of midfielders to disrupt Mexico's offensive cooperation.
At the same time, using the Chinese team's offense to suppress Mexico, so that they can not attack unscrupulously.
Simply put, it is to be able to defend as well as attack.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy for the Chinese team.
The previous Chinese team had something to do with it.
Either it's a drum attack on the air pressure, regardless of the back. Either it is to shrink the defense, and the only one who can be suppressed can only rely on the two wingers to occasionally fight back.
The effect is not very good.
But now this Chinese team is a bit like that.
Although it's still just a rudiment.
※※※
The Chinese team can play back and forth with Mexico, mainly because Hulai's state is particularly good today.
Why did Jose Tona just take a huge risk to tackle?
It stands to reason that the priority of defensive players should be safety, not risk. Doing some cool defensive moves is easy to show up, but it's easier to fall into the limelight.
But in the situation just now, if Tona doesn't do this, I'm afraid Hu Lai will receive the ball behind him.
Until then, there is no need to entangle about what to show up or to stumble, because it's too late to say anything!
That's why he had to do this, risking a shovel halfway through. From the slow motion point of view, if his feet were shorter or stretched more slowly, it would really have leaked the ball.
I have to say that although Zhang Qinghuan's kick was eventually stopped, the pass level was very high.
You should know that when he did this, there was actually a Mexican player beside him, but he didn't post it.
But with people around, Zhang Qinghuan was still able to deliver such a precise pass calmly.
This is actually the result of his training in La Liga.
The pace of La Liga is faster than that of the Super League. He used to play in the Super League. He can wait to observe and think after receiving the ball before deciding what to do next.
If he still plays like this in La Liga, he can't even hold the ball. You have to figure out what to do next before receiving the ball, and decide what to do when you receive the ball.
I have to say that although Shi Wuyin left office at the beginning, Dillon was not able to take over the team immediately. Instead, he transferred Dong Jianhai's belt for half a year, which seemed to be the loss of the Chinese team. But looking at it now, it may be the best arrangement.
Let alone the failure of the Asian Cup, it poured cold water on all those who were too bloated before, so that they can more accept some of Dillon's actions.
For Dillon himself, if he takes over the team after the World Cup, maybe the changes he envisioned will not proceed so smoothly, and the public opinion environment will definitely not be as relaxed as it is now...
After all, the only Chinese team at that time was Hu Lai and Luo Kai who played for a long time in Europe. Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi, Wang Guangwei and Xia Xiaoyu had just gone to Europe, and they hadn't even adapted to the environment. How could they adapt to Dillon's tactical requirements and training intensity?
Today, if the Chinese team hadn't been supported by players from Europe, it would never have performed so well.
※※※
Although Hu Lai did not receive the ball, he turned around and gave Ge Huan a thumbs up, praising him for passing the ball well.
He was in good condition in this game, maybe it was Dillon's words before the game that made him excited.
Dillon was able to use "Singing the Motherland" to inspire them, obviously he fully understood the importance of this song.
If a foreigner is able to do such a detailed work, wouldn't they, native Chinese people, be even more conscious than a foreigner?
Doesn't it make foreigners look down on them?
So after the start of the game, Hu Lai has been very active.
No matter if he has a chance, he runs around in Mexico's defense line. He does not hesitate to run at all physical strength. Some obviously don't have a chance, so he has to rush to try.
In the twelfth minute of the game, Zhou Zijing turned around and shot after resisting the Mexican central defender from outside the penalty area.
This shot was so powerful that the Mexican goalkeeper Salvador Manlix could not fully embrace him, and slightly let go.
Fortunately, his second reaction was very quick, and he bounced off the ground immediately, pressing the football under him again.
As a result, as soon as he suppressed the football, Hu Lai rushed to the front and kicked the football!
If it hadn't been for Manlix to control the football, he was afraid that he would be blown into the goalkeeper if he kicked the opponent, so he quickly closed his foot in time.
Manliks leaned over on the ground, bowed his head and didn't see this scene at all, so he didn't have any special feelings.
However, other Mexican players were scared into a cold sweat.
Especially Jose Tona, who is responsible for defending Hulai.
That really is a half-second difference-from Manlix's pounce to Hu Lai's feet, that is, half a second.
If Manlix was a little slow for half a second, the football would really be stabbed by Hulay!
Before this game, everyone had heard of Hu Lai's reputation and knew that he was a striker who was very good at capturing opportunities.
Also watched his game video.
But to let them build up a specific feeling in their hearts, it's more than just watching the video of the game.
Still have to play the actual match.
This match made the Mexican players very nervous.
Otherwise, why did Jose Tona just shovel at the risk of shoveling?
※※※
Dillon sneered: "There are some silly opinions in Europe that Hu can only score goals and has little tactical effect. Looking at a Hu can make Mexico's defense so tense. Who dares to say that this tactic has little effect? I think their brains are rigid, as if they can’t meet the tactical requirements of the head coach. If they have not completed specific tactical tasks, they are not called tactical... Hey! Actually I don’t need to assign any tasks to Hu Lai, he just needs On the field, it has already played a big tactical role!"
He said this to his assistant coach Keely Sequeiros.
Sequeiros also laughed: "My friend told me that the King of Madrid seems to be interested in Hu again..."
"It seems that Harvey Sanchez hasn't been confused yet~EbookFREE.me~ but they had a chance to win Hu with no more than 10 million euros..."
Dillon laughed: "Keely, isn't this the normal operation of the Madrid Kings? If you can't buy players at a high price, how can they prove that they are the team the best players aspire to? The best players can only use one thousand. Wan signed it?"
Sequeiros was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
The atmosphere in front of the coach is so relaxed, naturally because the Chinese team is not disadvantaged from the scene, and everyone is very satisfied with the performance of the players.
At the same time, because the Football Association didn't give them any goals before the game, they didn't have any pressure and didn't have to worry about gains or losses.
Of course, although the Football Association did not set a goal for the coaching staff, Dillon still set a goal for the team, hoping that the team will come back with a championship.
Mexico is of course very strong and it is not easy to beat them. But it is precisely because of this that Dillon has to specifically set the goal to win the championship.
Because he wanted to see if this group of young people could do it.
In fact, he will not be disappointed, let alone criticize the players, but if he can do it... he will have more confidence in the future.
After all, he coached this team not just to participate in the World Cup!
Three years later, the 2030 World Cup happened to be held in his native Spain. For him, it was a return to his hometown.
As the last job in his coaching career, he certainly hopes to draw a successful end to himself.
More importantly, he has some resentments about leaving the frontline coaching position at the beginning to spend his leisure time at home, and finally only come to faraway China to coach...
