Chapter 1186: .1186 Must be able to hold it first!

Hasha Zayed Stadium.
The Asian Cup semi-finals between the Chinese team and the Japanese team were played in this stadium.
A large number of Chinese and Japanese fans have gathered in the stands before the game. The Japanese fans are wearing blue jerseys, while the Chinese fans are wearing red jerseys. They are clearly distinguished and cheer up.
The public opinion environment is now better than in the past few years. In football matches, it is no longer necessary to fight against Japan at every turn as before, and the previous ethnic hatred is extended to the level of sports competition.
The Chinese team has been weak in football for many years, while the Japanese team’s level of football has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two decades. Perhaps the gap has been getting bigger and bigger, which has caused the outside world to have no expectations for the Chinese team. Now the Chinese team is in Asia. The progress made people pay more attention to the level and strength of the Chinese team. After the World Cup in Russia, everyone's confidence has improved somewhat.
There is no need to use who to defeat as a milestone node to prove what level of improvement one has.
Or maybe it is the legendary coach like Situ Yunbing who is coaching the Chinese team so that the fans will also shift their attention. There is no need to deliberately enlarge the opponent, focusing on oneself is the way to be strong!
When Situ Yunbing spoke to the team in the locker room before the game, he also specially emphasized the ordinary heart. In this game, he asked the team to show its strength and not be influenced by other emotions.
When he appeared on the sidelines of the Hasha Zayed Stadium, some neutral fans were cheering for him!
As the biggest coach of this Asian Cup, Situ Yunbing may lead the team to the semi-finals is just a passing line for him. If he can lead the Chinese team to the final, this will be slightly higher than expected.
However, for neutral fans, the Chinese team may be the second team to perform exceptionally well in this Asian Cup so far. The first is Qatar. Qatar has not only maintained a complete victory so far, but also has zero opponents!
As for other teams, especially strong teams, even if they have won all the way, either because their opponents are not strong, or winning is not so strong!
Situ Yunbing and the Japanese coach Morihoichi nodded and greeted each other on the sidelines. After all, the two had played against each other before, and they were not unfamiliar with each other when they met and competed on the same field.
When the starters of the two teams entered the field, the atmosphere of the Haszayed Stadium came to a climax.
The Chinese and Japanese players held their heads high and stood tall and straight. When they lined up on the court for pre-kick-off awareness, no one could see their fighting spirit!
"CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, good evening!
Welcome to the 2019 UAE Asian Cup semi-finals. China and Japan will compete for a final ticket today. In another semi-final, Qatar will compete with the host UAE for another final ticket. Qatar will beat South Korea in the quarterfinals. It's surprising.
What is even more surprising is that the UAE has beaten Australia to become the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup!
Among the top four teams in this year's Asian Cup, except for the Japanese team that has won the Asian Cup four times, none of the other three teams have won the Asian Cup!
Therefore, this Asian Cup is undoubtedly unpopular!
In a friendly match four months ago, the Chinese team once defeated the Japanese team in an away game. Today's encounter between the two teams will definitely create a spark of passion!
Let us look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
The Chinese team started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Xuepeng.
Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.
Forwards: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.
The Japanese team also started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Shuichi Quantian.
Defenders: Hiroki Sakai, Kenhiro Fuan, Maya Yoshida, Yuto Nagatomo.
Midfielder: Endo Endo, Haraguchi Genki, Shibasaki Mt.
Forwards: Takumi Minano, Yongya Dazuo, Don Anlu.
Both teams came up with the strongest lineups to face this game today. I hope that both teams can play in a good state. Situ Yunbing used to coach in European football in the past and often said before key games that he hopes his opponents will perform well, because he always It is longing for a peak contest, a truly wonderful game, and I hope that this is the case for today's game! "
When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, the Japanese team, who took the lead in kick-off, immediately launched a fast break to the Chinese team!
Mori Baoichi formulated the tactics for the team to grab the start. He didn't want to give the Chinese team time to enter the game. He hoped to deter the Chinese team from the beginning, so that the Chinese team could not find the rhythm!
Yuanqi Haraguchi crossed the ball diagonally to the right in the middle of the frontcourt. Takuru Nanno stabbed the ball to the right in front of the penalty area when he met Li Xuepeng. Da Shiyong also took the initiative to run to cope. He was there before Zhang Zhibang assisted. An oblique pass from the foot sent the ball to the sideline outside the penalty area.
Li Xuepeng was recruited to defend in the penalty area, Nanye Tuoshi regained possession of the ball in front of the bottom line of the wing, Da Zhiyong also moved forward in the middle, and the far-end Tang Anlu also quickly cut in!
The Chinese team's defense line naturally withdrew to the penalty area, and Zhang Zhibang ran to mark Yuankou Yuanqi personally.
Takumi Minano hit the ball diagonally back to the right of the penalty area before the baseline.
Before Huang Bozhou was destroyed, Shibasaki-dake hit the ball and volleyed!
The football went straight to the corner of the goal. The quality of the ball was extremely high, but the goalkeeper Shen Jingjie was fully prepared and rushed to save the ball out of the bottom line with a single palm!
After the save was successful, Shen Jingjie calmly gestured to his teammate in the direction of the corner kick, indicating that someone would block the opponent's tactical corner kick.
"Shen Jingjie! In the last match against Iran, Shen Jingjie, who was called the God of the First World War by domestic fans, made a contribution!
Shibasaki took this long shot very suddenly. The Japanese team's offensive coordination is very efficient. In terms of overall teamwork, the Japanese team can be said to be the best offensive team in Asia!
As long as it is not a world-class team, the Japanese team has the capital to gain possession of the ball in front of the opponent and play a very beautiful offensive!
If the South Korean team's Son Xingyun gave the South Korean team the strongest individual weapon, then the overall offensive strength of the Japanese team is the top benchmark in Asia!
And through this competition, now if you measure which team is the best defensive counterattack, I am afraid you have to choose between the Chinese team and Qatar! "
The Japanese team opened with a fierce momentum. Although the Chinese team was passive, it did not panic. This is a good phenomenon.
Although the Japanese team's corner kick attack failed to make a threat, Endo took possession of the ball in the midfield and the Japanese team reorganized the offensive.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Yuanguchi Haraguchi hit the wall with Shibasaki-dake in the frontcourt, and then suddenly a diagonal pass sent the ball to the left.
When Zhang Zhibang assisted the flank to defend Tang Anlu, the latter missed the ball, and veteran Nagatomo Yudu quickly slammed the ball close to the sideline.
Zhang Linpeng recovered to guard the inside line, Nagatomo Yudu suddenly accelerated the ball towards the bottom line, and then sent a cross pass.
Zhang Linpeng twisted his body and directly put a tackle to break the ball out of the baseline.
Although he could not control the ball, his defense still caused Situ Yunbing to nod slightly from the sidelines.
The Japanese team attacked continuously after the opening, and got consecutive corner kicks.
But if the two central defenders Yoshida Asa and Fuan Jianyang do not come up, then the Japanese team does not have the advantage of fighting for a header in the air.
This time the corner kick attacked Fuan Jianyang, and the corner kick taken by Nagatamo Yudu was pushed out of the baseline by Mt. Shibasaki before the penalty area.
There is not much threat to this ball.
Situ Yunbing breathed out a long sigh. After the Japanese team opened, the offensive was vigorous. The Chinese team is now in the pressure stage. As long as the opponent does not break the goal, the situation will gradually change towards the Chinese team.
While resisting the pressure, the Chinese team was also looking for a rhythm to integrate into the game. In the 5th minute of the game, the Chinese team had a fast attack on the front court. Zhao Fenghua crossed the ball diagonally to the right of the front court under the attack of Mt. Shibasaki and Genki Haraguchi.
Luo Xin took the ball and changed to go inside, but Nagatomo Yudu also changed to go inside in advance during the grab. This surprised Luo Xin, and then Nagatomo grabbed him and cut him off from the football. The connection between the two completes the interception!
The fans of the Chinese team in the stands hugged their heads and sighed!
Situ Yunbing was not disappointed on the sidelines. After all, Nagatomo Yudu is an old dough stick who has been in European football for many years. Naturally, he has very rich experience. For Luo Xin, I have a little research, even if it is just a gamble to measure Nagatomo Yudo in advance. The odds of winning will not be low!
Nagatomo Yuto's defensive success made Moriho a little relieved. He was really afraid that the two supernovas of the Chinese team would upset the Japanese team's defense on the field!
You must know that in the last friendly match, these two people caught the Japanese team off guard.
In the 7th minute of the game, the Japanese team had a fast attack in the frontcourt. The continuous passing and coordination was almost a mercury drop. Hiroki Sakai assisted to the frontcourt to receive the pass to Shibasakidake, and then sent a through ball to the right side of the penalty area. Takumi Minano was fast The inside cut and grabbed the ball across the front area before Cheng Renjun blocked it.
Seeing that Da Zhiyong also made it to the front to outflank the point, Bai Yuanfan assisted in the critical moment and went to the front of the door to release the shovel to block the angle of the opponent's shot. Da Zhiyong could only shoot the goal as soon as possible, and his frontal Shen Jingjie had already attacked and killed him!
Dabo Yuya's shot almost drove the ball into Shen Jingjie's arms to save!
"Da Sa Yongye's shot was directly held by Shen Jingjie!
Although the Chinese team's wing defense was beaten this time, but fortunately, the front defense successfully resolved the danger!
The offensive threat of the Japanese team is clear! "
Moribao showed regret, the ball felt a little bit different!
Situ Yunbing clapped hands and applauded on the sidelines to boost the morale of the team!
The Chinese team's defense now has to resist the beating. If it can carry it, then the Japanese team will gradually lose its position.
Compared with the perseverance of the previous game, the test of defense in this game is toughness!
