Osik raised his right hand and gestured towards the warm-up players, and saw a tall player running over quickly. It was an Australian high center forward, who played for the Bundesliga Wolfsburg, Stuttgart, Cologne, Nuremberg, and Karlsruhe. No. 9 "Joshua Kennedy".
With a height of 194 and a weight of 86 kilograms, Kennedy is a veritable air bully on the court. From the substitution of Osik, it can be seen that the German is actually a very deep coach and is also very willful.
"Australian team, No. 17 McKay goes off, No. 9 Kennedy goes on," Duan Xuan said.
Facing Australia's replacement, Stan was a little silent, because he felt that this was not good news. Zhou Dun was 185, Kennedy was 194, a head higher. It seemed that the Australians were determined to fight against the No. 2 of the Chinese team. Stan was worried that Zhou Dun might not be able to withstand Kennedy's impact.
Because there are not many high center forwards in the Chilean League, and there are more small ones, but can Zhou Dun deal with such a powerful high center forward?Stan has no idea.
"I feel like Cahill's stupidity is helping the manager," Stein said.
"Hehe, what do you say?"Duan Xuan asked in surprise.
"Cahill is in Australia just like Rooney is in England. No matter how good or bad the coach is, the coach has to play. In fact, Cahill is not in good form in this game. If it wasn't for his own stupid initiative to apply for a red card to end the game, Osick might not dare to change a striker."
Duan Xuan felt that Stan's insights were very profound, and he admired Stan's ability to think so far.
*****
After Australia made substitutions, the game continued. The Chinese team kicked off from the backcourt. Zhou Dun passed the ball to Qi Bing on the right. Qi Bing looked up, and Lin Zhijian in front was waving at him.
But halfway through the pass, the Australian left back "Davidson" had already circled in front of Lin Zhijian in advance and intercepted the ball.
Qi Bing cursed in his heart, and immediately stepped forward, trying to regain the ball.
Davidson, unlike right-back Milligan, is fierce defensively but not good at assisting, so he handed the ball to Bresciano and retreated to the left-back position himself.
At 30 minutes into the first half, the midfielder of the Chinese team had adapted to the opponent's style of play. At this time, Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin stepped forward to grab Bresciano.
"Baldhead" Bresciano didn't dare to take it lightly when facing the two-man defense of the Chinese team. He gave the ball to Yedinak at 3 o'clock. After Yedinak got the ball, he faced Zhang Xizhe of the Chinese team.
When Zhang Xizhe met Yedinak, let’s make an image metaphor. It’s like a code word meets a blacksmith. The physical strength is not at the same level. Yedinak is a defensive midfielder, and Zhang Xizhe is a full-back.
Zhang Xizhe just made a little symbolic defense without causing too much interference to Yedinak. Yedinak took the ball into the 35-meter area of the Chinese team, and the defensive pressure of the Chinese team suddenly increased.
Zhou Dun and Wei Xiao are still the same, keeping a good eye on the players they should be marking. Yedinak is a reckless man, he can’t organize an attack. Facing such a good opportunity, he actually slowed down.
Jedinak looked up, but he didn't care, he hung the ball high into the penalty area of the Chinese team, what happened in the back?It depends on the forward.
The high center forward Kennedy in the penalty area is very experienced. He took advantage of his size and leaned against Zhou Dun with his back. Where is Zhou Dun?While opening his arms, he held up against Kennedy. The purpose of opening his arms was to let the referee see that he had not fouled, so as to prevent his opponent from taking a penalty kick.
Wei Xiao, who was on the side, was also nervous. He was worried that Zhou Dun would not be able to carry it, but his own defense task was also very heavy, so it was impossible to separate himself to help Zhou Dun.
After Kennedy leaned on Wei Xiao, he stopped the ball with his chest. He felt that the defense behind him was very strong, and it was probably impossible for him to turn around.
So Kennedy flicked with the outside of his instep and distributed the ball to "Kruse" on the other side. No. 10 Kruse understood and quickly inserted, and this was far beyond Wei Xiao's expectations. He was worried that Zhou Dun would not be able to hold it, but what he didn't expect was that the opponent pretended to attack Zhou Dun, but the real goal was actually his side.
In the restricted area, half a beat slow in consciousness means losing position, and it means that the ball may be lost because of it.
So when Wei Xiao reacted, Kruse was already in front of him. Now Wei Xiao is useless even if he has three heads and six arms. He can only look forward to the performance of the goalkeeper.
But Kruse is a natural number 10. On the football field, number 9 is the one who gives the opponent a fatal blow, and number 10 is the one who helps number 9 complete the fatal blow. The professional term is "assist".
Facing the Chinese team's attacking goalkeeper, Kruse can either shoot directly, or pass the goalkeeper and then push the empty goal, but Kruse has no choice in either way. He chooses to pass to the middle to No. 9 Kennedy.
Selfishness is not good in life, but selfishness is a valuable quality in many situations on the football field. Facing Kruse’s pass, Kennedy started immediately, but in terms of speed, he was far behind Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun circled in front of Kennedy and kicked the ball out of the baseline first.
A golden opportunity wasted and Kennedy yelled at Kruse: "You shoot the ball yourself".
Kruzen pursed his lips, raised his right hand, and turned his palm outward, expressing embarrassment.
*****
Just after Zhou Dun cleared the siege, the fans at the scene let out a "wow" sound, which was a release after tension. The ball made Chinese fans tremble with fear. Everyone thought that Kruse would definitely score this ball. Fortunately, he chose to pass the ball in the end.
In the commentary seat, Duan Xuan recalled what Stan said just now, and now she admires it even more, "Coach Stan, as you said, the No. 9 replaced is indeed more threatening than Cahill."
"Yes, this No. 9 not only has a body, but what's more commendable is that he also has a brain and knows how to cooperate with his teammates, unlike Cahill who blindly fights alone and acts recklessly on his own."
"Does the Chinese team need to adjust to deal with it?"Duan Xuan asked.
"Defending No. 9 is unrealistic. With this high point, the Australian team is like a nail inserted into the penalty area of the Chinese team. If they can't defend in the penalty area, they can only try to prevent the opponent's midfielder from lifting the ball into the penalty area of the Chinese team. A good countermeasure is to replace Zhang Xizhe with Li Weifeng.
"Call 4231"?Duan Xuan asked.
"No, it's 4321, Christmas tree formation, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin form a midfield barrier, the first three players, Li Qiao, Lin Zhijian, Yu Dabao form a triangular position",
Duan Xuan thought about it carefully, and came up with a little idea, "Does Coach Stan think the Chinese team has a chance of winning against the opponent in the midfield?"
"How will you know if you don't try, but I know one thing very well, if the opponent is allowed to lob the ball into the penalty area at will, the two central defenders of the Chinese team will definitely be exhausted."
*****
Two minutes later, the Chinese team made a substitution, Li Weifeng replaced Zhang Xizhe, and the Chinese team changed their formation to 2.
It turns out that Pekovic has been using the radio to listen to the simultaneous broadcast of CCTV's live broadcast, and doing so is not against the rules, but if the Australians know the inside story after the game, it is estimated that it will be another war of words.
But after the substitution, the midfield form of the Chinese team is much better. Li Weifeng, who is strong in defense, can just beat the opposing team's Yedinak.
The Chinese team's 3 midfielders PK the opponent's 2 midfielders. Immediately, the Chinese team's "back bar" became stiffer. The biggest advantage of AC Milan's Christmas tree formation that swept Europe back then was the back bar. Now it is borrowed by Stan, and the effect is good.
Because of the superiority in numbers, as soon as the Australian midfielder gets the ball, he will immediately face the Chinese team surrounded by two or even three people. In this way, it is difficult for the Australian midfielder to send a precise pass to Kennedy in front of him. Kennedy has nowhere to use his strength.
Under the defense of Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin, Bresciano could no longer move forward easily. He could only pass the ball to "Lakey" on the right. As soon as Leckie got the ball, he faced Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai's pinch, and quickly lost the ball.
After Li Weifeng got the ball, he saw that there was a good space in front of him, and he passed the ball forward to Li Qiao on the left. Facing Milligan, Li Qiao made a "cow's tail" move and passed Milligan. At the same time, the audience gave applause for Li Qiao's beautiful passing.
But Li Qiao didn't have time to linger on the applause from the fans. The opponent's central defender "Sainsbury" had already rushed up. When Li Qiao passed the first man just now, in order to speed up, the ball went a little far. Now facing Sainsbury, it is difficult to continue to pass.
Li Qiao stretched his legs and stabbed the ball to Yu Dabao in front of him. Behind Yu Dabao was the opponent's central defender "Wilkinson". Facing Wilkinson's close defense, Dabao couldn't turn around and shoot. He could only pass the ball to Lin Zhijian on the right.
Australia's defensive quality is very good. Although the Chinese team's offensive progress is very fast, if it is against other Asian teams, such as Lebanon, the opponent's defensive players will not be able to find North, but none of the Australian defensive players have lost their positions.
When Lin Zhijian received the ball, Davidson was already in place. Lin Zhijian judged that he could not stop the ball. As long as he stopped the ball, the opponent could stick to him, and the opportunity was lost.
Lin Zhijian decided to shoot directly, and Lin Zhijian's position was near the penalty area line, which was not a good place to shoot.
Facing the incoming ball, Lin Zhijian slammed the left side of the ball with the outside of his foot, and then watched the ball arc to the right and fly towards the goal.
