Vol 4 Chapter 555: It's him again!

As early as the end of the 1980s, Japan launched a massive football reform.
Starting from the Japanese prime minister, to all levels of government, attaching great importance to the development of football projects, has triggered an unprecedented football boom in Japan, and in the World Youth Championship ten years later, the Japanese team entered the world record The Youth Championship finals are the nodes.
This represents Japan's full rise in Asian football and the beginning of its harvest.
Nearly a decade after the World Youth Championships, Japan performed better and better. It won the Asian Cup in Lebanon in two thousand years. In 2004, it lost to the host China in the finals and missed a valuable chance to defend.
But no one denies Japan's strength.
Backed by the youth training system and football industry that have been steadily formed in Japan, Japan's overall competitiveness has been continuously improved.
After Trusie coached Japan and helped Japan reach the top 16 in the Korea-Japan World Cup unprecedentedly, Japan was committed to learning Brazil, and the head coach has always been inclined to technical flow.
But this does not mean that Japan is just learning Brazil, because everyone knows that a very terrible place in Brazil is that they pay too much attention to individuals and underestimate the whole. This is a deadlock in Brazil over the years.
When the Samba team wins the championship, it often solves individual and overall problems, such as the Korea-Japan World Cup.
Japan learns Brazil and respects the player's personal skills, but at the same time they pay more attention to the team's integrity.
Teamwork is one of the most important aspects of Japan. The personal ability of players who have an advantage in the Asian region is that Japan can accurately play and run in high-speed operations, which allows Japan to play a more holistic pass-and-control style. .
In the Asian region, the Japanese national team has excellent personal capabilities and strong integrity, which makes Japan a veritable strong team in the Asian region. In the Asian Cup, Japan has performed very well.
In the group stage, two wins and one draw, the quarter-finals knockout one-on-one draw with Australia, the final penalty kick.
In the four games, the overall strength of the Japanese team has left a very impressive impression.
But more importantly, this team has few obvious weaknesses and flaws.
The only problem is that the three-five-two play they insist on will make their defense on the wing slightly weaker.
...
Before the semifinals, the head coaches of both sides looked forward to this game.
Osim said he hopes to lead the Japanese team to wash the shame in Beijing three years ago. He firmly believes that the team can continue the excellent performance of the previous four games and freeze the Chinese team's attack, especially Yang Yang.
"There is no doubt that Yang Yang is the world's top star. He has a much higher personal ability than other Asian teams. Limiting him, it is possible to limit the offensive of the Chinese team, and I think we have done well. ready."
Alihan's words also indirectly agree with Osim's remarks. He believes that Yang Yang is the key to this game because he has been in a good shape recently. Activating Yang Yang's attack in the frontcourt will be the key to the team's victory.
But at the same time, the Dutch head coach also said that the team's back line will be a big test, because the Japanese team's overall offense is still very strong, which will cause considerable pressure on the Chinese team's defense.
In an interview with the media, Alihan said that the Chinese team has also insisted on passing the ball and playing the game for the past four years. He is eager to compete with the Japanese team in terms of technology and ball control.
"I believe that in Asia, we will not lose to any team!"
But it turned out that Ali Han's remarks before the game were just a smoke bomb.
...
Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Chen Tao, this is the trident from the Chinese team.
Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe, this is China's midfielder.
The back line is still a combination of Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai.
Obviously, Ali Han did not intend to grab the ball with Japan, because he knew very well that he couldn't grab at all, so he could only discharge double backs like Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe to intercept and steal.
Even in the first 20 minutes of the game, the Chinese team had not even played a decent attack.
The Japanese team's possession rate reached an astonishing 78%, and the scene was almost one-sided.
It was not until the twenty-fourth minute that the Chinese team got a very good opportunity.
After Gao Lin steals in the frontcourt, he passes the ball to Yang Yang. Yang Yang suddenly kicks the ball after getting rid of the defensive player.
This foot shot was blocked by the Japanese defender Nakazawa II and failed to threaten the goal, and the subsequent corner kick failed to create a threat.
But only two minutes later, Yang Yang got rid of the ball on the left and was fouled by the defensive player of the Japanese team. He won a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Shao Jia took the penalty and Li Weifeng nodded the ball after the goal. , Slightly higher.
The real turning point of the game occurred in the 34th minute. After Yang Yang took the ball on the left again, facing the double-jaw of the Japanese defenders, he decisively dribbled the ball inwards, relying on his personal ability to attract the left side of the front of the penalty area The attention of Japanese defensive players.
Suddenly, Yang Yang sent a kick from the three players to the ground and rebounded the ball accurately.
Gao Lin used his body to block Japan's central defender Jia Diliang. He understood that instead of picking up, he turned directly and greeted the ball with a volley, which penetrated the goal of the Japanese team and broke the deadlock on the field.
But the good times are not long.
After the Chinese team took the lead, the Japanese team launched a crazy counterattack.
Yang Yang repeatedly reminded his teammates to pay attention, but the result was a mistake. The defender missed a corner kick. The Japanese team seized the opportunity and scored.
Japanese central defender Nakazawa, who did not stop Yang Yang from passing and assisting, broke the header.
After scoring a goal, the Japanese central defender ran in front of Yang Yang deliberately and provocatively, and the celebration action was also very crazy.
...
During the intermission, Alihan replayed the first half of the game and adjusted some of the team's tactics.
After changing sides in the second half, the Chinese team suddenly launched a wave of attacks.
Just one minute later, Yang Yang got a pass from Sun Xiang on the left, and even stopped and took it all in one go. He passed all the way to the goal point. Chen Tao finally caught up with Yang Yang this time and calmly hit the shot.
The Chinese team once again exceeded the score!
Subsequently, the Japanese team launched a counterattack again and won the corner kicks one after another.
After the Chinese team led for ten minutes, the Japanese team once again used a corner kick to equalize the score again!
Two to two!
No one expected that the Japanese team, which has always been known for its technology and pass-and-control play, played so bravely in this game.
Anyone who doesn't even know it must think that the South Korean team is playing against the Chinese team.
Because of this kind of perseverance, the style of fighting has always been the traditional feature of the Korean team.
After pulling two goals in a row, the Japanese team seemed to smell the opportunity and began to press the overall formation.
Head coach Osim also began to make substitutions to further strengthen the team's offensive offense.
The Chinese team retreated and had to retreat again and again.
Ali Han had to replace Shao Jiayi with Zhao Xuri, trying to stabilize the team's midfield.
He then replaced Chen Tao with Cui Peng, pulled Zheng Zhi back to the defensive line, and formed three central defenders with Feng Xiaoting and Li Weifeng. Sun Xiang and Sun Jihai's full-backs pushed forward appropriately.
As for the frontcourt, two forwards, Yang Yang and Gao Lin, were left.
...
The continuous siege, the Japanese team frequently got a chance, playing the Chinese team very embarrassed.
Even Gao Lin in the front had to actively withdraw from the midfield and participate in defense.
The strength gap between the two sides is obvious. The Chinese team is still the same as Japan three years ago.
But after Alihan's training, the defense of the Chinese team has improved a lot in the past few years. Especially after the World Cup test, the player's confidence has also been significantly improved.
The entire back line, except for Li Weifeng, the same international team, Sun Xiang and Feng Xiaoting both played in the Dutch League, of which Feng Xiaoting still played the main defender in the Dutch giant Feyenoord, the performance was very good, Sun Jihai played in the Premier League Manchester City.
Coupled with the midfield, Zheng Zhi playing for Mainz, Zhao Junzhe playing for the Super Celtics ...
The Chinese team's midfield and backcourt strength is not bad. It is really stable to defend. It is not easy for the Japanese team to break through.
The two sides attacked and defended, and the game time quickly entered the eighty minutes.
The Japanese team's three-back play has inherent natural flaws in the defense of the wing, and the Chinese team's counterattack also intentionally or unintentionally hit the wing, especially on the left side where Yang Yang is located.
After changing to the three-back, Sun Xiang and Sun Jihai also acted more actively on both wings, especially Sun Xiang.
This move finally played out in the 83rd minute.
The Chinese team intercepted the ball in the backcourt. After Zhao Junzhe intercepted the ball, Zheng Zhi quickly returned to Feng Xiaoting. The latter made a long pass to the left of the frontcourt. Yang Yang grabbed the first landing point, grabbed the ball on his back and stopped the ball Later, it was passed back to Sun Xiang who was plugged in. He turned and rushed to the penalty area.
After Sun Xiang plugged it in, he passed it back to Yang Yang who plugged it in.
After receiving the ball, Yang Yang suddenly accelerated and used his personal ability to rush into the penalty area directly under the envelope of two Japanese team guards and used a wonderful pendulum to pass by and shook past the arrogant celebration just in front of himself. Nakazawa Yuji, a sudden spike inwards, near the left side of the penalty spot, the right foot kicks the ball.
This is a shot area he is very accustomed to and very confident.
After the ball crossed a beautiful arc, it almost wiped the angle between the goal beam and the post, and hit the goal of the Japanese team.
After Yang Yang scored the goal, he didn't celebrate it as if he had just done a common thing. He spread his hands with a smile, an expression of no big deal.
In front of Yusuke Nakazawa, he seemed to see the eyes of the Japanese central defender breathing fire.
In the final three years ago, it was also Yang Yang ’s outstanding performance, especially the handball, which led to the Japanese team ’s unbalanced mentality, won by the Chinese team, and missed the championship.
Unexpectedly, after three years, it was him again!
