football career from scratch

"South Korea... is basically the strongest team in Asia. Although Japan and Australia are not inferior to them, they are not absolutely sure that they can beat them. Iran is a little worse than them."

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, the players of the Chinese team became more serious, but they were not very familiar with the South Korean team. Since the Football Association stipulated that Asian foreign aid is also counted as foreign aid, South Korea, which was once very popular in the Chinese Super League Foreign aid has also basically disappeared in the Super League.

The number of foreign aid is precious, and we are not short of money. Of course, it is necessary to introduce better players-this is the idea of ​​most Chinese Super League teams.

So for the members of the national team who have only been in the Super League for a year or two and have no experience in the top league before, they are quite unfamiliar with Korean players, not to mention that seven of the main players of the Korean national team play in Europe. Ball players, this makes them even more unfamiliar.

"South Korea's tactics have never changed. Four-three-three or three-four-three. The key lies in the value of their right back. This is a player with excellent physical fitness and active running. He has excellent forward penetration ability and defensive ability. They are also excellent, and among the three players on the front line, Park Jae-young, who is used to moving on this side, is also a good player in wing attack, so in this game, our left side may have a lot of pressure."

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, everyone's eyes turned to Zuo Feng - Zuo Feng's ability is relatively comprehensive, but his defensive ability is relatively average, and his offense is mainly based on crossing. Under such circumstances, his pressure It might actually be bigger.

"So in this game, our starting left back is Liu Jian." Gao Yuan continued.

Liu Jian was taken aback—he really didn't expect that he could play the main force. In terms of strength, he was considered below average among the players in the Yilan department, but he became the main force in this game!

Gao Yuan didn't say much, but continued to talk: "Their other two forwards Sun Jinhong and Shi Yongjun have excellent personal abilities. They can hold the ball, break through and organize. We have to rely more on the area when defending. Defensively, don't give them too much space, midfielder, be careful with their pressing, be careful with the ball, play our attacking ability, kill them with goals, understand?"

The players nodded their heads. The group stage went well, but that didn't mean they could sit back and relax in the knockout round. In fact, it wasn't that the Chinese team didn't win the group stage before, but they still went home in the first round of the knockout round.

"Bu Qingyun, you have to pay attention, they will focus on marking you. The Korean team's midfielder has strong running ability and pressing ability. You may have fewer chances to get the ball than usual." Gao Yuan added.

"If they focus on marking me, the defense on the back line will be weakened a lot." Bu Qingyun shrugged.

Gao Yuan laughed: "That's right, so our striker partners in this game are Sun Chuci and...Su Yuze, give them a hard time if you have a chance, and use a breakthrough to kill them!"

Su Yuze nodded vigorously. He played as a substitute for three games in the group stage. This time he became the main force. He must perform well!
Cheng Xiuran nodded silently at the side. The Chinese team is not familiar with other teams, and the other teams' understanding of the Chinese team is relatively superficial. A lot of misjudgments occurred, this is a good opportunity for the Chinese team.

"If we want to win the championship, we will definitely meet all the strong teams in the knockout round. Now it is South Korea, and it may be Japan next, and we may also meet Australia and Iran in the final... There are many strong teams in the Asian Cup, although I have no doubts. We have enough confidence in our strength, but we still have to win to prove that our strength is the strongest in Asia!"

For this, Chinese fans are very confident.

The South Korean team has indeed been regarded as the sufferer of Chinese football for a long time, and it can even be said to be the biggest sufferer. However, for the current Chinese fans, they have strong confidence in the new national team. Qianshan players can win three consecutive victories when they play. In the knockout stage, those top players who have not yet played should also play a big role, right?
Su Yuze is currently the second-ranked player in the Super League scorer list, and Zhu Yucheng is also ranked second in the number of assists. They are all only suppressed by Bu Qingyun in the domestic league, and Lu Yuanlong, Song Pengju... These players are all very good With the passage of time, they will get more opportunities in the national team, and the overall strength of the national team will gradually rise!
Now is the time to take South Korea as the knife!
"The Chinese team is a very strong team. Their performance in the group stage is the best. No team is willing to meet the Chinese team in advance. However, the Korean team is still the strongest team in Asia. The team has the ability to beat them, even facing the Chinese team in the imperial capital."

In an interview before the game, the Dutch head coach Chirac of the South Korean team answered this way-many Chinese fans think that this guy is stubborn. Besides, having the ability to beat the Chinese team does not mean that he will definitely be able to beat the Chinese team. The old man was cheering himself on.

However, in fact, Chirac is not just to cheer for himself. In fact, he still has enough confidence in this game. The performance of the Chinese team in the group stage is shocking, but there are still many problems exposed of.

The two forwards have their own characteristics, but in the final analysis, they are all shooters and need the support of teammates. They lack good breakthrough players on the wing, and rely more on the two full backs to advance forward and assist. The defense line is not so stable...

In fact, in the group stage, although Uzbekistan and Qatar lost quite badly, Saudi Arabia did not have a chance. Their defense once controlled the attack of the Chinese team, and the counterattack also had a certain effect. If it was not for Bu Qingyun's outstanding performance, They will not be defeated like a mountain. They have never fought against Bu Qingyun in person. It is difficult to understand how outstanding Bu Qingyun has played. Under such circumstances, it is normal to suffer a big loss.

But now, the South Korean team has taken precautions, focused on marking Bu Qingyun in the midfield, and then cut off the connection between the Chinese team's midfield and striker by shrinking the defense, seized one or two good opportunities in the counterattack, and won. It's not impossible.

The defense of the two wings of the Chinese team is weak, and the penalty area is not without weaknesses. The real threat is their offense, and the source of their offense is Bu Qingyun!

If you can see this clearly, there will be targeted arrangements for the next game.

Chirac is obviously a top-level head coach. In fact, he is indeed a top-level head coach. He was also a top-level head coach in Europe at his peak. After he was old, he led the national team for a long time. He has rich experience and strong ability. There is nothing wrong with what you see.

If Gao Yuan hadn't changed his lineup, the result of this game would be really unpredictable.

However, the sufficient number of Gao Yuan's personnel and the ability to exchange them allowed the Chinese team to take a certain advantage before the game even started.

Chirac is not surprised that Su Yuze, the second-highest scorer in the national team, did not play in the national team. This kind of thing is actually quite normal in the football world. A good shooter depends on whether he is qualified. The overall requirements, no matter how good you can score goals, you can't partner with other teammates, and it is difficult to become the main force in the national team.

Judging from the group stage matches, the Chinese team's striker partner cooperated very well with others. Although neither of them has the ability to create opportunities, they don't need to create anything in front of the midfielder led by Bu Qingyun. Opportunity, just seize the opportunity.

There is a player with excellent crossing ability like Wan Lishan on the side. Dong Lin's confrontation and jumping in the penalty area, Xie Dongping's running and grabbing points in the penalty area can all be played to the fullest, not to mention there is Bu Qingyun behind him. , They can also give Bu Qingyun a good gap in the penalty area to get forward and shoot. The Chinese team scored so many goals in the group stage, and it is also closely related to the outstanding performance of this set of offensive tridents. .

Therefore, although Sun Chuci has more comprehensive skills, he can only play as a substitute in the national team. In Chirac's view, such a frontcourt combination is very tacit and does not allow other forces to forcibly insert.

Gao Yuan's tactical change caught Chirac completely by surprise.

So, on the day of the game, on the way to the Bird's Nest, when Chirac got the starting lineup announced by the Chinese team two hours in advance, he felt as if he had been slapped severely.

It was no longer strange for Liu Jian to start. Dong Lin and Xie Dongping did not play, and the striker partners became Sun Chuci and Su Yuze. This made him immediately aware that the Chinese team was going to make trouble!
Although the Chinese team hadn't announced their starting lineup before, leaving the suspense until the last moment, Chirac didn't think they had any conspiracy. During the group stage, the Chinese team always announced their starting lineup at the last moment, but their group stage The starting lineup has never been changed, and now it seems that the entire group stage is also planned for the knockout stage!

After all, judging from the schedule, the Chinese team will definitely encounter strong opponents in the first stage of the knockout round, not South Korea, but also Australia. Using three games in the group stage to set up a game, of course, you need a big net. fish.

The current Korean team is such a big fish.

"We can't focus all our attention on Bu Qingyun. These two forwards have strong personal breakthrough ability and the ability to create opportunities. If heavy troops are defending in the midfield, then there will be many problems in the defense."

Chirac thought in his heart, although he has a sense of humiliation in his heart now, but he will not show it. After all, as a head coach, he cannot show his frustration at this time!
