In the star tactics, Gao Jun was not stared to death, so China always had the hope of victory. Now Gao Jun has reached the peak of his career in all aspects, especially his breakthrough ability with the ball. After years of hard work, he has finally reached a quite high level, and his one-on-one success rate has reached the world-class level. Plus, his teammates in the frontcourt are also stronger than four years ago. If they don’t suffer from the bad luck of downsizing before the World Cup, no opponent will be able to prevent him from dying and let Hiddink breathe a sigh of relief. It is the most important player in China’s lucky team who missed this time, which makes him
The host advantage of the 21st World Cup is already faintly visible. Compared with other Asian teams, the grouping of the China team can be said to be as good as it can be. The two recognized weak teams in the same group almost ensured that the China team qualified for the World Cup, and being in the same group with the German team that has won two consecutive World Cups is even more miraculous.
On the one hand, being in a group with the top German team can strengthen the strength of China’s opponents in the group on the surface and reduce the pressure of public opinion. At the same time, because there are two qualifying places, it will not affect China’s promotion; On the other hand, a group with Germany in the group stage can ensure that the group will not meet again until the final after qualifying, so as to avoid China meeting the German team too early and going out as in the 21st World Cup. Moreover, it is very likely that both teams have already qualified in the third game of the group stage. In this case, China can leave the substitute team, which not only saves physical strength, but also minimizes the impact of losing on morale.
Qualifying in the second position of the group will lead to the problem that China will encounter a strong opponent after qualifying. Because other strong teams except the German team may not be able to enter the state early in the group stage, they will often qualify in the second position of the group. Therefore, it is not safe for China team to qualify even if it is the first in the group. When China team was grouped, it was already considered that the most competitive teams after the knockout will definitely not encounter it in the final. It should not be difficult for China team to play its normal level and get into the strong team.
Although some media and fans in China were somewhat worried before the World Cup, after the World Cup, everyone quickly put their hearts back in their stomachs. After beating New Zealand calmly in the opening match, China won 41 in the second group match, thus successfully qualifying with the German team that won the same winning streak, which reassured the old China fans that China played with unprecedented composure in the first two games. Every time he led by two goals, he would take the initiative to slow down the pace of the game. Although this led some fans to complain that China was "out of passion", among these old fans,
The German team dares not to leave a hand in every game, on the one hand, because they advocate the whole, and on the other hand, because the German team’s reserve team is very strong, even if the main players are injured, the impact will not be great, and even if the China team can play the whole well, the reserve team is weak. If they learn from the German team, they will be "painting tigers and not fighting dogs". Therefore, in a sense, it is almost natural that the China team suffered from serious injuries in the last World Cup. It can be said that this China team is very lucky to have suffered such a situation until their third World Cup.
Another point is that Germany is recognized as a strong team in the world football, and their habit of never sympathizing with the weak has long been well known. Therefore, it is not too humiliating to be defeated by them by a big score. Few teams will feel resentful because of this, while China is a new team, which is also as powerful as Germany. If you are lucky, the risk of injury to your players will increase greatly, and even if you are not injured, your physical consumption will increase. After three World Cups, now China international players have fully realized that if you want to go further, you must avoid unnecessary injuries and play harder.
Although the China team has learned to keep kicking after leading by two goals, the attack efficiency of two six goals is still among the best among the 32 teams participating in the World Cup. What is even more remarkable is that Gao Jun has arranged three of the six goals and contributed two direct assists. Even fake fans can see that he appeared in the China team and played around Gao Jun, so the head coaches of all teams quickly came up with the idea that "it is not enough to be afraid to stare at Gao Jun and China". But now, is Gao Jun so easy to stare at it? to be continued
Chapter 69 Host Advantage
Ps Thank friends for "talking about small and medium-sized people" for casting 2 monthly tickets to continue to seek subscription and recommended votes _
In the last game of the group stage, Hiddink hid most of the main players because of China’s victory, but Gao Jun still started playing for more than 60 minutes because of his excellent physical fitness and scored a goal in the game.
Although the German team also sent a lot of substitutes, these guys are much stronger than the substitutes of China team. It can be said that the strength gap between the two sides’ starting arrays is far greater than that between the two sides’ main arrays, and China team is only Gao Jun, an offensive player worthy of focusing on, but even so, the German team still failed to prevent Gao Jun from dying and won only 31 points, which made the heads of the top four teams worry.
Moreover, Hiddink’s so-called "playing around Gao Jun" is not to let him know that he is shooting alone, but to let Gao Jun think that he has a good chance, and he will not hesitate to send a wonderful message to his teammates, which was fully proved in the first game of the knockout.
It may be that the two teams are predestined friends, and it is more likely that it was premeditated when the schedule was arranged. In these years, the Mexican team was slaughtered by the China team many times. In the first round, China suffered again. Considering that the Mexican players are generally short in height, although they have a strong defensive ability against the ground attack in terms of defense, Gao Jun did not show off his personal breakthrough ability, but took more responsibility for covering China’s offensive focus and shifted to Xie Wenjun, who has a greater advantage in China.
In the end, China beat Mexican team Xie Wenjun 4 times and scored a goal for Gao Jun, the oldest of China’s frontcourt four. Gao Lin also scored a header in the game. If China didn’t get better after leading 2, it would slow down the attack pace. I’m afraid this game would be another massacre.
After the Mexican team lost the game, China’s frontcourt system had obvious advantages, but the defenders were all flexible, and Bai Jiajun was a freak. Hiddink also changed the goalkeeper in the insurance field and reopened it. Wang Dalei, who was short in stature but quick in response, had no chance in all aspects.
After the game, China fans were relieved, but some people also had a question. It’s not a year or two since Mexico was bullied by China’s top team. It shouldn’t be difficult for them to cultivate some tall centers and central defenders based on their football. Why did they fall into the same pit again?
I don’t know that once a national football system is formed, it is not so easy to change the situation. Mexico is the only national team in all aspects, and there are two official competitions, the World Cup and the Confederations Cup. If such a team doesn’t often meet its opponents, it will be stupid. In the final analysis, it can be blamed that Mexico is too unlucky. Every time China comes out, it will definitely touch them early. Otherwise, will they be so tragic?
After crushing the Mexican team, China marched into the World Cup with their heads held high, and their indicators have been partially completed. After that, they can relax their burdens, which is very beneficial to China players with generally poor psychological quality. However, in the quarter-finals, their opponents were somewhat unexpected and did not know whether they were stimulated by the real China team. The "European China Team" said that the English team actually eliminated the powerful Dutch team in the quarter-finals and China team met in the quarter-finals.
"In fact, England still has the strength, even if it is a bit like us now, but it is between the world-class and the second-class level, it is still necessary to play a good theory. No team can win them steadily. In fact, the biggest problem of the English team is that it will occasionally surprise the fans when playing against the strong team, but it is very sad to turn over the boat from time to time when encountering the weak team. But it may not be a good thing to play against them. Who can guarantee that the English team will not suddenly play well?" Gao Jun still attaches great importance to the English team, but the process of China reaching the semi-finals is much smoother than him.
In this game, Gao Jun’s flexible and quick advantage in the defense line was brought into full play in the face of England’s aging. With the support of his teammates, he successfully played the first hat trick in the last World Cup, which also increased his total number of goals in the last World Cup to almost one, and Gao Jun’s total number of goals in the final stage of the World Cup rose to an astonishing 26, which made the latecomers look forward to it.
However, after the game, England lost very badly. In an interview with the media, they expressed strong dissatisfaction with the referee in this game, but this noise was quickly lost in history, because there was no key dispute penalty that directly affected the result of this game, and as Mourinho once said, history can remember those data.
But to tell the truth, England did suffer a lot in this game. Because China’s penalty in the dominant home game was not obvious, the referee’s penalty for physical collision in this game was very strict, which almost reached the standard of Japanese J League. This made the accustomed English players very uncomfortable. Although they converged and no one was sent off, how can they play their hands and feet normally? Compared with China, the strength of the English team has no overwhelming advantage, and now it is tied up. How can we play this game?
In fact, it is not the penalty scale of this game that has affected the progress of the game. In the previous one-point final, the Mexican team also suffered a lot. However, in the opposite game, the referee’s penalty scale was that the physical confrontation of the Mexican team was slightly poor, but it was very good at small-scale harassment. The penalty scale was that the physical collision was very loose, while the opponent’s manual penalty was very strict. In this penalty scale, the Mexican team’s play, especially its defense, was greatly affected. If it was not for China’s team to see the lead, it would not be impossible to have another big score massacre.
Strictly speaking, the penalty in these two games is not even the home whistle, but it has already made China a huge profit. What if it is biased? Gao Jun finally realized how cheap the host of the World Cup can be, and sighed, "It is really right to bid for the World Cup!"
Moreover, the referee problem is one aspect of home advantage, and the influence of home fans’ cheering can not be ignored. In addition, there is another factor that is often overlooked by fans, that is, the host is more adapted to the climate, water, soil, accommodation and transportation conditions of the country, so it is definitely better to rest than those opponents from foreign countries. In addition, Hiddink has helped the national football team to build up sufficient physical fitness to prepare for this World Cup. The more China will have a general physical advantage in the future, the third game can be rotated a lot because of qualifying before the group stage, and the last two knockout games are not too difficult. Therefore
As we all know, abundant physical fitness has a great influence on the players’ normal technical performance before it is necessary. It is obvious that Gao Jun dares to release such rhetoric to his comrades-in-arms after the third match of the group stage. "Although we lost this game, there is no need for everyone to be discouraged, but we should gain confidence from it. You should know that if we have a chance to meet the German team again later, both sides will have played six games by then, and our physical strength advantage will become very obvious. We have the ability to compete with them!"
Fully aware of the great influence of home court advantage, Gao Jun naturally raised a lot of expectations for this World Cup. Of course, Brazil, the host of the World Cup, was slaughtered by Germany, and Gao Jun was not stupid enough to be blind and confident. China will face a powerful French team in the semi-final. They defeated Japan, China and Germany in the 216 European Cup, and it was also recognized that China was the favorite to win the World Cup. How can they lightly qualify?
What is even more frightening is that this French team has played a very stable and excellent role in every game after the World Cup. In the first five games, the French team not only won the game, but also conceded a goal in total. In this way, even the Italian team, which has always been known as the "concrete defense line", is different. Moreover, the Italian team’s unified defense and counter-tactics are different. The French team’s defense focus has always been on the midfield, so after the defense is successful, it often gets the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack immediately, and this French team has a considerable ability to seize the opportunity in front of the door. Excellent quick counter-attack and set-pieces attack are especially fierce. It is absolutely terrible for them to take the lead. Relying on excellent quick counter-attack and set-pieces attack, the French team scored three goals per game in the last World Cup. It is said that this French team did not sacrifice its attack to ensure a stable defense, which is much stronger than the world champion team led by Zida in those years. To be continued.
Chapter seventy The real test
Ps thanks the friend "Society You Meet Brother" for generously rewarding and the friend "longkwok" for casting a monthly ticket to continue to seek subscription and recommended votes _
The reason is that Corgnet, the leader of the French team, has a direct ability to attack and defend, which is not only reflected in his personal ability, but also in his excellent leadership ability. In Corgnet, he commanded the French team to attack methodically and defend hierarchically, and it is even more rare that the attack and defense were well connected, which made the French team form an organic whole from beginning to end.
Such a French team is very terrible. In the 21 ST World Cup in South Africa, because Corgnet had not yet established its leading position in the French team and the front line was a little yellow and green, its performance was not very good. However, four years ago, the leading position of Corgnet in the World Cup in Brazil was firmly established, and Zema and others were maturing. This French team once again showed the strength of a world-class strong team. They might not have won the World Cup again if they had not met Germany, which was already the enemy at that time. Only two years later, they took revenge for this French team in the European Cup, which made fans all over the world deeply feel the terrible.
Although Ribery has now withdrawn from the national team, and core players such as Corgnet and Zema have been slowly sliding from the peak, from the performance of the French team in the last World Cup, they are still among the top three super powers in the world. Compared with the China team, although the state is also very good now, the strength advantage of the French team is still very obvious compared with the China team. What should we do to deal with such a terrible opponent?
"This French team is excellent in both offense and defense. If we want to find out any defects, it is that most of the French international players play in Ligue 1 and Premier League. This is beneficial. We should get a lot of set pieces, and this is a quick pre-game practice, which may play the so-called’ it’s not easy to sharpen a gun when you get cold feet’." Hiddink said what he thought, only to find that the two players coincide and Hiddink considered it more carefully than he did.
"The attack opportunity of set-pieces must be seized, which is almost our only chance to win the goal. However, the French team’s set-pieces attack is equally powerful. We must do a good job in defense, and we will not give them the opportunity to punish set-pieces. Although the French team has excellent offensive and defensive ends, its offensive ability is relatively insufficient. We have to shrink the defense line and they can rely on set-pieces." Hiddink has come to the conclusion after careful observation and analysis. "Although the strength of the two teams is obviously different, we may not win if we do these jobs well."
Hiddink is a resolute and iron-fisted head coach, and his strategy has been resolutely implemented after the game. Because both sides attach great importance to defense, especially the midfield defense game has turned into a midfield melee, and the scene is far from as beautiful as the fans expected. After ten minutes, neither side even shot a shot.
The head coach of the French team is obviously dissatisfied with this, but Hiddink is very satisfied. Because the French team has stronger offensive and defensive strength, it is difficult for China to get many opportunities in positional warfare, and the French team can’t find opportunities from China, which fully shows that his game strategy has shown miraculous effects.
In addition, Hiddink was very concerned about the referee factors before the game, and now it is mixed. The referee seems that he doesn’t even want to blow the penalty at home, which is quite fair, just like in a neutral venue. "It seems that as I expected, the host country has ensured the commercial benefits of FIFA, and their care will stop here. Hehe, we didn’t have the home whistle to help us now, but we didn’t have it when we needed it. It’s really ironic."
