1170 That's it?!
Abu Dhabi, Mohamed Bin Sayed Stadium.
The second round of the Asian Cup Chinese team will face the Philippines on this stadium.
Although the Philippines has no stars, they have big-name coaches!
Eriksen, the Swedish coach who once commanded the Three Lions of England!
The defeat of the South Korean team with a goal in the first round also made the Philippines' qualifying situation very difficult.
Given that the Chinese team beat Kyrgyzstan three goals in the first round, the Philippines may have to defeat the Chinese team if it wants to qualify, and the draw is of little significance.
When Situ Yunbing came to the competition, he would not communicate with the opponent's coach before the game to avoid interfering with the opponent.
It is both a respect for your opponent and a less distraction.
When the starters of both teams walked into the stadium, the cheers from the Chinese fans who came to the scene were even more deafening.
Due to the number base of Chinese fans in Asia, there are still quite a large number of fans who will come to the scene to cheer for the away game.
In an atmosphere like this, if you play games at a neutral level, unless you encounter the host, the Chinese team basically has no disadvantages.
Especially in Asian Cup matches, everyone is Asian teams. Perhaps because of the Asian Cup in the UAE, West Asian teams will have certain environmental and climate adaptability advantages, and there is no difference between teams in other Asian regions.
Philippine coach Erikson has a solemn expression. He may not have expected that after more than ten years, he can still fight against legends on the coaching stage!
He once led England to the World Cup, and had briefly coached Premier League teams and fought against famous coaches such as Ferguson. Ten years later, he coached in Asia, and it seemed like he was consuming the reputation he had accumulated in the past. He could not be said to have no ambition. He was already at the age of retirement, so it was nothing wrong to earn some pension.
Situ Yunbing really doesn't know Eriksen. When he emerged in European football, Eriksen faded out of the top European stage, so naturally there was no intersection.
Situ Yunbing is still sure to win this game, especially the situation is changing.
The Philippines must win, and the Chinese team is full of morale.
It is not just the difference in strength between the two teams that affect the results of the game.
The starters of both teams have entered the court and lined up for the pre-telection ceremony.
"Central TV, CCTV, audience, good evening, welcome to watch the second round of the 2019 UAE Asian Cup group stage. Today we will live broadcast the match between the Chinese team and the Philippines at the Mohamed Bin Sayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
In the first round of the group stage, the Chinese team defeated Kyrgyzstan 3-0, while the Philippines lost to South Korea 0-1.
Currently, the Chinese team is ranked first in this group by relying on their goal difference.
If today's game is won and the South Korean team does not lose to Kyrgyzstan, then the Chinese team will advance to the knockout round one round ahead of schedule!
The Chinese team still has a clear advantage over the Philippines in terms of strength.
Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
The Chinese team continued to use the start of the previous game today.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Xuepeng.
Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.
Forward: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.
The Philippines started 532 today.
Goalkeeper: Falkesgao.
Defenders: Paria, Woodland, De Murga, Silva, Daisuke Sato.
Midfielder: Schroker, Ingres, Strauss.
Forwards: Patinho, Reichelt.
The Philippines is known as the international column. If all players who are not born in the Philippines are considered naturalized players, then 20 of the 23-man rosters that the Philippines went to the Asian Cup this time can be considered naturalized players!
The current Philippines team has players of German descent, Spanish descent, Japanese descent, and Austrian descent...
How effective is such a Philippines? Judging from their hard fighting against South Korea, they only lost one goal in 90 minutes, but I believe that the Chinese team is stronger and more cohesive than the Philippines!
The game begins soon, let us continue to cheer for the Chinese team and hope that the Chinese team can win this game!"
The players on both sides set up their own half to prepare for the kickoff.
If you look closely, it is easy to make people feel illusion that this is not the Asian Cup!
Because the Philippines' international column looks like a miscellaneous army, not like an Asian team or European team, but more like a club with little fame.
Situ Yunbing did have some expectations for Erikson, wanting to see if he would use all his lifelong skills to fight against the Chinese team in desperate situations!
Although the Philippines starts at 532, Situ Yunbing believes that they are definitely not planning to use defensive counterattacks to deal with the Chinese team.
When the referee whistle sounded, the game officially started with the cheers of fans!
The Philippines took the lead in attacking. As soon as the game started, their full-backs rushed to the frontcourt to participate in the attack. They directly sent the ball out of the baseline through a 45-degree cross from the side of the frontcourt. Maybe it was because they had not entered the state after the game.
The Chinese team slowed down and took more time to fall in the backcourt. They were not in a hurry to attack, but they still played steadily. The whole team got into the state first.
When the Philippines saw the Chinese team working in the backcourt, they immediately began to rush to the frontcourt to counterattack.
In the fifth minute of the game, the Chinese team attacked the frontcourt for the first time with a threatening attack. Luo Cheng cut in the left side in front of the penalty area and rushed to the receiving end of his younger brother Luo Xin's cross pass from the side, and directly shot the ball. The football flew towards the Philippines goal, but the angle was too straight and was confiscated by goalkeeper Falkesgao.
"The Chinese team completed the first shot of the game. Luo Cheng's shot was very sudden, but the angle was too straight and the strength was insufficient, and the Philippine goalkeeper did not stand the test."
When the Philippines began to attack, Situ Yunbing realized that the Philippines' offense was too impatient, and the tacit understanding and connection were insufficient when the overall oppression was pressed forward!
When Reichelt forced a shot from the front of the penalty area, Bai Yuanfan stepped forward and blocked the opponent's shot from the sideline with his body.
The Philippines seemed anxious even when he drove the sideline ball. Pattinho took the initiative to respond to the sideline, but the ball dropped by his teammate was too powerful, so he stopped the ball and touched the ball out of the sideline.
Situ Yunbing frowned slightly on the sidelines.
That's it?
The Philippines used active running to tell the world that they wanted to defeat the Chinese team, but they did not show a set of effective tactical and tactical styles!
It's like a battle, with a very big tone, but he's just a layman!
Situ Yunbing plans to observe again, what if he encounters an old fox?
Maybe this is the Philippines confusing the Chinese team!
In the 11th minute of the game, the Chinese team made a fast break in the frontcourt. Wureira and Luo Cheng made a cross from the side to cooperate with Luo Cheng to cut inside and break through the opponent's defense on the side. Luo Cheng dribbled the ball into the left rib zone of the penalty area and passed the ball back to the triangle zone.
Zhao Fenghua followed up in the middle and stopped the ball and adjusted it. After a fake shot and the real pass was sent to the right side of the penalty area!
Situ Yunbing couldn't help but slap the ball!
Attract the opponent's defensive players and then send out a wonderful threatening ball!
But the key point is that Luo Xin didn't react. Maybe Luo Xin thought that Zhao Fenghua would shoot directly!
As a result, Luo Cheng realized that it was too late to sprint again, and the Philippine goalkeeper attacked and confiscated the ball first.
Luo Xin turned around with some remorse and gestured to Zhao Fenghua, praising the other party's pass, saying that it was his own problem.
The Chinese fans in the stands couldn't help but sigh!
Even Situ Yunbing felt a little regretful, let alone a fan?
"The Chinese team missed an excellent opportunity! Captain Zhao Fenghua's handling of this ball is at the top level in Asia!
After receiving the response, he pretended to take a kick and shot, but he made a wonderful pass when touching the ball!
Unfortunately, Luo Xin followed up slowly. This time they didn’t expect to go together. The Chinese team still needs more practical combat to get along!”
Situ Yunbing watched the game seriously, and he always believed that the Philippines should have a tactical backlash.
Some may be judged by oneself.
When he fought some key battles, it was only in the last year of Liverpool that the team's overall strength was indeed unparalleled, so he would start to lose the king and destroy his opponent with the force of being under the pressure of Mount Tai!
But in many key games before that, he would hide the team's truly threatening offensive and playing styles, and would do some preparation or paralyze the opponent in the early stage, such as simplifying the offense at the beginning, making the opponent careless, or balancing the technical and tactical balance at the beginning, suddenly changing his posture and oppressing him at the right time, and catch his opponent off guard!
He believes that the Philippines may have such a prelude.
But he kept waiting, his brows getting deeper and deeper!
The Philippines' frontcourt offense seems to be loud and thunder. The players run actively and interspers frequently, but the ball is not passed in place. Or they can clearly cooperate, but some players forcefully break through and end up playing.
What are they doing?
Perhaps he really didn't know much about the Philippines, and Situ Yunbing finally realized that he was completely over-thinking when he reached the 25th minute of the game.
The Philippines has no real core skills and tactics to play as a trump card to suppress the Chinese team!
They just a simple impact, telling the whole world: Look, how hard we work, we want to win! We must win!
But they are hard to create even a threatening shot!
In the 28th minute of the game, Zhang Zhibang made a key interception against Ingres in the middle of the backcourt!
After intercepting the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Zhao Fenghua's feet. Zhao Fenghua passed the ball to Li Xuepeng on the wing in the backcourt, who then passed the ball straight ahead.
Luo Cheng stopped the ball in the wing area where the midfield had just passed the midfield and was closely guarded by the opponent. He knocked the ball across the middle. At this time, Zhao Fenghua, who was running up, had already escaped from the opponent's counter-attack encirclement, and Luo Cheng also quickly turned around and sprinted towards the empty area ahead!
Chapter completed!
