Chapter 153: High position

"...We didn't perform well in the first half, and we can't play like this in the second half!"
Back in the dressing room, Mexico coach Alfonso Leides made a severe criticism of his players.
"In the second half, we have to push them high, we must oppress them and create pressure for them! We must not let them do whatever they want like the first half! Vega!"
He nodded the name of the team's midfielder, and Juan Vega stood up and looked at him.
"In the second half, you shouldn't stay behind and be responsible for sweeping the midfield. You have to follow their number ten! Where does he go, where do you go, if he retreats, you will go up, in short, you must not let him take the ball at will! "
Vega nodded: "Understood, sir."
In the first half, due to Mexico's tactical settings, their defensive midfielder Juan Vega did not restrict Zhang Qinghuan, but protected the midfielder and was responsible for sweeping the middle area. This can ensure that Mexico's midfielder will not be penetrated by the Chinese team, but it also brings problems, that is, Zhang Qinghuan is more free.
Therefore, Zhang Qinghuan created a lot of trouble for Mexico in the first half. For example, the straight kick he gave Hulai forced the central defender Jose Tona into a panic.
The last goal of the Chinese team was also initiated from Zhang Qinghuan, who intercepted Jonathan Hernandez's header.
Rides' tactical arrangement in the first half was to allow Vega to protect the space in front of the back line.
But now it seems that the effect is not very good.
So he quickly adjusted and asked Wei Jia to push to interfere with Zhang Qinghuan.
At the same time, he also made adjustments to the two full-backs Souza Nascimento and Rolando Perez, asking them to actively press forward in the second half of the game, against the two defenders of the Chinese team, Chen Xingyi. And Luo Kai.
With the addition of two central defenders, Mexico has achieved a targeted defensive goal for everyone on the court.
Through continuous high-pressure pressing, the Chinese team was in chaos.
After all, with the strength of the Chinese team, how can you cope with a high-intensity press?
In the end, Leides opened the palms of both hands and showed the players: "Ten minutes, the opening ten minutes will not hesitate to force them and attack them! Once we grab the ball, we will use our speed and technical superiority to tear up their defense. Bring up the rhythm of the game and don't give them a chance to slow down and think! As long as we score, the rest of the game will be much easier!"
※※※
In the second half of the game, the Chinese team kicked off. They passed the football back as usual.
The Mexican players pressed forward.
The Chinese team passed back all the way, and they pressed forward all the way.
Has been pressed to the front of the Chinese team's back line.
When central defender Mao Jun was holding the ball in the penalty area, Wang Guangwei and Liu Yan pulled apart laterally to create space and angle for Mao Junzheng to pass the ball.
But the three Mexican forwards also pulled apart laterally, blocking them one-on-one, showing an oppressive trend.
They are not talking about the three guards attached to the Chinese team, but everyone is about six or seven meters away from their goal.
Make sure that Mao Jun is passing the football to any central defender partner, and the Mexican forward can immediately pounce on it.
The Chinese team's two midfielders Gao Ruimin and Xia Xiaoyu retreated to meet Mao Junzheng who had the ball.
But the two central midfielders from Mexico also immediately followed.
Among them, Eduardo Angel, who played for Antwerp, the strongest team in the league, can be said to be inseparable from Xia Xiaoyu, very close.
To defend against the three forwards and defend the Chinese team's three backs, the distance of about six or seven meters is different. From this defensive distance, we can also see how much Mexico attaches importance to Xia Xiaoyu, the Chinese team’s important goal point in the midfield.
For Gao Ruimin, a purely defensive midfielder, another Mexican midfielder, Jonathan Hernandez, is not very close. But it doesn't mean to relax vigilance and still be at a reasonable distance. As long as the football is passed to Gao Ruimin, Hernandez still has enough time to rush up and stick.
Seeing that both midfielders were being spotted, Zhang Qinghuan retreated to respond.
Unlike the first half, Mexico's defensive midfielder Juan Vega, who had allowed him to retrace before, followed him all the way back this time. Zhang Qinghuan looked back several times, and the other party was behind him.
So his shot point was also locked...
Zhang Qinghuan had no choice but to greet Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai loudly to go back deeper and increase the backcourt points.
As a result, with Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai's retreat, Mexico's two full-backs came out, crossed the center line and got stuck in front of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai.
If they both get the ball and want to move forward, they will hit the two full-backs in Mexico.
Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing's situation is the same, there are people around.
It can be said that at present on the court, in addition to the goalkeepers of both sides, it is the real "man-to-man".
In the face of Mexico's high position press, the Chinese team is a little uncomfortable.
Especially Mao Junzheng who got the ball in the restricted area of ​​the Chinese team.
He wanted to pass it to Wang Guangwei at first, but turned around to find someone on Wang Guangwei's side. He wanted to pass it on to Xia Xiaoyu again, but Xia Xiaoyu followed the other's Angel.
Zhang Qinghuan, who withdrew, was also surrounded by people.
Mao Jun was hesitating several times. Mexican center Arturo Jacques no longer allowed him to take the ball at a distance of six or seven meters as before. Instead, he suddenly rushed forward and tried without warning. Steal the ball directly in the restricted area of ​​the Chinese team!
"Give it back to me!" Holder, with the captain's armband, first noticed Jaques's movements and quickly reminded Mao Junzheng loudly - at this time, he was looking at the front and did not notice the situation in front of him.
Fortunately, Hao De reminded him in time, Mao Jun was unable to consider what the situation was, and immediately passed the football back to Hao De, and at the same time blocked Jaques with his body.
Despite this, the situation is also very critical. Halde, regardless of whether there is any response point in front of him, kicked the football forward with a big foot.
Such a forced long pass is not accurate.
Although Zhou Zijing desperately ran to the football spot, he could not grab the ball.
The flying football made the Mexican central defender Gonzalez Sandoval directly give the full back Souza Nascimento.
After the kick-off of the second half, the Chinese team gave the ball to Mexico.
Then Mexico launched an offensive.
Soon they hit the frontcourt, and then their striker Nuno Alvarez cut from the wing and shot a cold arrow!
Fortunately, Hao De concentrated his attention and rose into the air, holding the football out of the crossbar with a single palm!
The Mexico team won a corner kick.
"Very dangerous! Howard made a wonderful save! Just two minutes into the second half, the Mexico team threatened our goal, and their frontcourt press was very fierce. It can be seen that they want to take advantage of the beginning of the second half, our players There is not so fast a chance to enter the game state, launch a surprise attack... At this stage, you must be very careful!"
He Feng first applauded the performance of Hao De, and then reminded the players.
The first few minutes of the game is the most dangerous time, because it takes time for the players to enter the game from rest to EbookFREE.me~. Not everyone can get into the rhythm of the game all at once. After all, they don’t have a switch...
In the face of such a high position, it is inevitable that there will be some feeling at a loss.
But everyone can also see that high position press is a very physical tactic. It is impossible for Mexico to maintain this kind of high-intensity pressing, so as long as the Chinese team can overcome this wave without losing the ball, they will be able to regain the upper hand.
The Chinese players retreated to their penalty area to defend Mexico’s corner kick.
But at the same time, they are also ready to hit the other side with a counterattack-the goal of the Chinese team in the first half was just a counterattack through a corner kick.
If the Chinese team can score another goal, they will have a lot of calmness even in the face of Mexico's high press.
The mentality is different, the performance is naturally different.
"Push them out! Don't let them get close to the goal!" Goalkeeper Halde raised his arms and loudly commanded his teammates to defend. "Staring at their two central defenders!!"
In his yelling, the players on both sides were entangled.
The referee blew his whistle and the football was kicked out by striker Nuno Alvarez, drawing a clear arc towards the goal!
Two Mexican central defenders rushed to the goal of the Chinese team, squeezing Wang Guangwei and Mao Jun back.
Juan Vega, the midfielder in ambush behind them, jumped high, and reached the ball through his teammate Jose Tona, who was covering for him!
The football was touched behind the goal by him!
Goalkeeper Halde saw Vega header and then jumped to save, it was too late...
He can only watch the football fly into his goal in the air!
Only three minutes into the second half, the Chinese team lost the ball!
