Chapter 343

After the Japanese team changed, the positions of the four defenders remained unchanged. "Honda Keisuke" and "Hasebe Makoto" played double defensive midfielders, "Kagawa Shinji" played the front midfielder, "Kan Kishi" was still the left winger, "Kyotake Hiroshi" played the right winger, and Okazaki Shinji advanced alone.

During the years when the Italian "Zaccheroni" coached the Japanese team, the team played 4231, so this lineup is the most familiar style of play for the Japanese team.

The Chinese team has changed to a 432 formation, with Li Qiao and Ding Mu playing double forwards, but Li Qiao stands behind Ding Mu's left, like a shadow forward, that is to say, Li Qiao's position now is the same as that of Baggio back then. In his heyday, Baggio was called the best number nine and a half, that is, the shadow forward behind the center forward.

In the second half, the Japanese team kicked off in the middle circle, and the ball was handed over to the captain Makoto Hasebe. Makoto Hasebe is Japan’s Makelele. He is not tall, but he is a player who can’t run to death.

Lin Zhijian went up to press for "Hasebe Makoto", who handed the ball to Honda Keisuke, who took a few steps. At this time, "Gan Guishi" had inserted behind the Chinese team's right back "Chen Fei". Honda Keisuke could pass directly, but he looked at it and chose to lob directly because he saw the Chinese team's goalkeeper Wang Dalei standing forward.

Keisuke Honda's lob shot slowed down a lot after crossing half of the field. Wang Dalei stepped back 20 meters and jumped up to catch the ball. The ball didn't go in, but he could feel that the opponent's style in the second half had completely changed, and he had a strong desire to shoot.

Wang Dalei launched an attack by throwing the ball. The ball was intercepted by "Maya Yoshida" after flying halfway, and the Chinese forward did not get the ball.

In the second half, as soon as the Japanese midfielder got the ball, they stuffed it straight behind the Chinese team, and then let the forwards chase after it. Keisuke Honda and Makoto Hasebe's through balls were very accurate, which made the Chinese team defense very uncomfortable.

The area between the full-back and the center-back on the football field is called the "rib".

In the second half, the Japanese team "Honda Keisuke" and "Hasebe Makoto" aimed at China's defensive ribs and hit Chen Fei several times. Behind Qi Bing, Okazaki Shinji also got the ball and hit the goal twice. Fortunately, Zhou Dun's defense was in place, and the opponent did not score.

Stan saw the problem. After Wang Kong went down, there was no defensive midfielder in the Chinese team. Liao Lisheng, Lin Zhijian, and Zhang Xizhe were all players with strong offense and weak defense. Taking advantage of a dead ball, Stan prepared to make a substitution, replacing "Liao Lisheng" with "Zhang Chengdong".

When the fourth official raised his card, Stan told Zhang Chengdong, "When you go up, grab the ball. Don't let the opponent's midfielder pass the ball easily. Don't worry about your physical strength. When you can't run, I will replace you."

After Zhang Chengdong came on the field, the Chinese team had an extra man doing dirty work in the midfield, and his back became stiff all of a sudden. Keisuke Honda wanted to pass through. Zhang Chengdong rushed up and brought the ball down. Although he received a verbal warning, he suppressed the Japanese team's direct pass from the midfielder.

The pass failed, and Aguirre also quickly made changes. He gestured to the players and asked for changes. Only his players could understand Aguirre's gestures, but one thing is clear, the opponent will definitely change in the future.

Sure enough, after 15 minutes in the second half, the Japanese team no longer went straight to the Chinese team's defensive ribs, but the midfielder pressed their own long shots. Keisuke Honda and Makoto Hasebe shot directly from long distances within 30 meters of the Chinese team's goal.

This kind of long-range shot is not a big threat, but "Shinji Okazaki" in the penalty area is swimming like a ghost. Every time the Japanese team takes a long-range shot from midfield, he will stare at Wang Dalei with bright eyes. As long as Wang Dalei makes a move, that is his chance.

The Japanese team's current style of play is like the "Great White Shark" looking for food. If you don't have a chance, forget it, and if you have a chance, you will swallow it in one gulp.

Zhang Chengdong doesn't have three heads and six arms. He can either defend the opponent's pass or block the eye-catching. It is impossible to defend both. That is too demanding and unrealistic.

Now the disadvantage of the Chinese team being sent off by one person is slowly showing up. To make up for this gap, we can only make up for it. Stan is unwilling to do this, because Stan still wants to win.

But this time, Stan’s luck didn’t pass the test. Wang Dalei threw the Japanese team’s first few shots very well and did not give the Japanese team’s striker a chance to make a follow-up shot. But Keisuke Honda made his third long-range shot in a row. This time the ball had a strong external spin.

The moment the ball is touched, the goalkeeper knows where the ball will go, but when faced with a strongly spinning ball, the goalkeeper often throws the ball flying randomly, and now Wang Dalei feels this way.

The ball flew to the front of the small penalty area, and Shinji Okazaki, the "jaws", finally found his prey, but his sense of smell was keen, and the reaction of the Chinese team defender was not slow. Zhou Dun had already been wary of his opponent, and the two of them started running towards the ball almost at the same time.

Okazaki Shinji turned around and leaned against Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun leaned on "Okazaki Shinji" and stretched out his feet to reach the ball. Okazaki Shinji's body could not resist Zhou Dun, and he was about to lose control of the ball. He poked with his toes and returned the ball to Honda Keisuke in front of the penalty area.

2 to 1, the Japanese team overtook the score.

*****

The Japanese team did not celebrate the first goal, but they were crazy about the second goal. Maybe the game was already in the second half, and the Japanese players felt that this goal would guarantee them to advance to the final.

Stan has always been lucky that the opponent's long-range shot will not pose any threat, but it turns out that it is just Stan's ostrich mentality. To remedy the situation, Stan immediately replaced Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Xizhe.

Then Zhou Dun was transferred to the midfielder to play as a midfielder, and Zhang Linpeng played as a defender. Now that the score is behind, Stan needs a midfielder who can attack, so Zhou Dun is the best choice.

Re-kick-off, Zhou Dun controls the midfield. If "Makoto Hasebe" is Japan's Makelele, then Zhou Dun is the "David Lewis" of the Chinese team.

"Makoto Hasebe" stuck close to Zhou Dun. When "Wolfsburg" won the Bundesliga championship in the Magath era, "Makoto Hasebe" was the team's main midfielder, and his defensive ability was very strong.

Zhou Dun and Hasebe Makoto squeezed each other. The two were evenly matched. At first they rubbed their shoulders, and later they pushed each other. Finally, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and called a foul on both sides. Zhou Dun was very strong. After the referee called a stoppage, he still stepped on the ball.

Irmatov finally calmed down the fight with a yellow card, but "Hasebe Makoto" learned that Zhou Dun of the Chinese team is really a ruthless character.

After Zhou Dun came to the midfield, one person was equal to the Japanese team's "Hasebe Makoto" and "Honda Keisuke". Stan really regretted that he didn't push Zhou Dun up earlier, and his mentality was too conservative.

Zhang Chengdong took the ball and leaned against Qingwu Hongsi. Qingwu Hongsi's confrontation ability was average, but Zhang Chengdong didn't dare to turn around for fear of losing the ball, so Zhou Dun went to meet him.

After handing the ball to Zhou Dun, Zhang Chengdong ran forward, Zhou Dun passed the ball back to Zhang Chengdong, and at the same time shouted: "I'll go up, you pass it back to me", Zhou Dun wanted to complete a two-for-one cooperation with Zhang Chengdong.

Makoto Hasebe can't understand Chinese, but he has a strong ability to read the game. He guessed Zhou Dun's attempt.

Zhou Dun didn't care about him, his only thought was the past.

Li Qiao excels by speed, Zhou Dun excels by being unreasonable, relying on his strong body and tough style, Zhou Dun forcibly squeezed "Hasebe Makoto" away, and Hasebe Makoto bumped into Zhou Dun like a bulldozer.

After crushing the midfielder of the Japanese team, Zhou Dun made a direct pass to Li Qiao, and it was time for Li Qiao to perform again. He swung away "Gotoku Sakai" with a oxtail.

But as long as there is a small opening, Li Qiao can pass the ball. In top-level contests, it is not easy to completely pass the opponent. More often than not, it is necessary to pass high-quality passes or shoot in the cracks.

For example, in the World Cup in Brazil, Messi lore Iran's goal, watching slow motion, in fact, Messi did not get rid of Iran's defense, but even if there is no chance, the Messi king can still kick the ball, this is the real skill.

Taking advantage of a small gap, Li Qiao passed the ball to Ding Mu. "Yoshida Maya" still saw Ding Mu dead, but Ding Mu's shooting never took an unusual path. Li Qiao's pass was fast and flat, similar to the footwork of shooting. Ding Mu didn't stop the ball this time. He just rubbed on the ball.

2 to 2, the Chinese team once again equalized the score.

The goal was scored, but the Chinese players were stunned for a moment, because they didn't know who to celebrate. Whether the goal was scored by Li Qiao or Ding Mu. From a distance, everyone didn't know whether Ding Mu had touched the ball.
