The national football team lost to Japan unsurprisingly, clean and clean, with zero shots in the whole game, and did not have an effective attack in the first half, and the first corner attack opportunity came after 50 minutes in the second half. After 60 minutes, Li Tie finally launched a death attack, Alain and Luo Guofu played at the same time, pressing Japan for fifteen minutes, but still did not form a threatening offensive opportunity, but was hit several times by the Japanese team to counterattack.
From the beginning of this game, the posture of the national football team was very low, the two forwards, Wu Lei and Axon, both shrunk to the side of the half of the big penalty area near the defense, the front court did not even retain a person, so the person with the most passes in the whole game was actually the goalkeeper Yan Junling, every time he opened the door, he could only try to make the ball as far away from his goal as Gong Lei said. But this defense, which had no ability to counterattack, coupled with the blessing of the goalpost, barely managed to keep the city gate for the first forty minutes.
By the 39th minute, the Japanese team had a not very good chance, the midfielder snatched successfully, forced the bottom cross, passed Wang Shenchao, the middle road Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie did not stare at people, was touched by the opponent, the Japanese team scored the only goal of the game. But it should be emphasized that this is not because of the defensive success of the national football team in the first half, but the blessing of the goalpost, the goalpost blocked three goals from Japan, coupled with Yan Junling's stable play, it can be regarded as barely supported.
But this is the result of the five defenders swinging the bus defense, and it is the result of the Japanese team's attack only taking the right side, that is, the left side of the national football team, if the Japanese team changes its thinking and changes to playing on the right side, it is estimated that the opportunities will only be more, not less. Moreover, the Japanese team did not play too much in the traditional middle of the Japanese team, but frequently played high balls in the middle, but the Japanese team itself did not have any advantage in height.
The zero-to-one score is actually acceptable, after all, the strength gap between Japan and the national football team is here. For example, some people say that the Japanese team does not play well, the pace is very slow, and people can quickly fall asleep. But in fact, the integrity of the Japanese team is very good, the midfield dares to take the ball, dare to break through, much higher than the midfield level of the national football team. Most importantly, the opponents of the past two round-12 matches, Australia and Japan, can complete the passing and receiving in the run, while the national football team can only pass and receive the ball in situ.
The national football midfielder is as weak as ever, with neither the ability to defend nor the ability to organize attacks. This game against Japan replaced Zhang Xizhe with Yin Hongbo as the starting point, as the front waist, but Yin Hongbo repeatedly took the ball to try to pass and break through, and was successfully grabbed by the opponent, and even snatched by the opponent when passing, forming many better counterattack opportunities, including the Japanese team's goal this time, which was the result of Yin Hongbo's steal.
That is to say, as a professional player, the national football players will still only stand and kick, will not run and kick, the vast majority of people will not run without the ball, after the teammates get the ball, others are not looking for better opportunities to receive, or help teammates take away the defenders, but stand in place and wait for teammates to pass the ball to themselves. Especially under the five-three-two formation, the midfield is easy to form a situation where a national football player takes the ball and the opponent surrounds two or three people. The national football team is not sure of one-on-one passing, let alone this kind of scene.
So looking at these two games, the worst part of this national football team now is actually the midfield. The first game is Zhang Xizhe and Jin Jingdao starting, Wu Xi single back, this is Yin Hongbo starter, partner Jin Jingdao as the front waist, Wu Xi is still a single back. But Wu Xi's characteristics are actually not to intercept and sweep in the back position, if there is a back that intercepts and sweeps, and has a stronger ability to entangle with the opponent, liberate Wu Xi and let him participate in the attack, it may be better. But the problem is that it seems that such a backside cannot be found now.
That is to say, ten years ago, the national football team began to find a successor for Zheng Zhi, which has not been found, but after ten years of red fire in the Chinese Super League, now not only Zheng Zhi has no successor, but even Qin Sheng's level of the back can not be found, five years ago there was Cai Huikang, now Cai Huikang is older, the body is blessed, the state is not good, there is no pure interception type in the back position, the midfield is easy to be penetrated by the opponent. Li Tie's requirements for the midfield may be too high, may wish to change their thinking, on an interception type of back.
The loss to Australia and Japan, in fact, are expected by the fans, which is nothing, what disappoints the fans is that the tactical thinking of the entire team cannot be seen, the defense relies on the pile of people in the backcourt to form a numerical advantage, and the attack is completely invisible to the doorway, and there is no hope. After all, there are other opponents behind, the national football team is not completely without opportunities now, what is needed now is to learn lessons, adjust the personnel structure, make up for shortcomings, change thinking, and strive to play the back games.
