Chapter 30 Australian Restrictions
At 21:30 pm on January 22, 2015, at 18:30 pm in Beijing time, amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans in the audience, with the whistle of the referee, the 16th Asian Cup quarter-finals of China vs Australia officially began at the Brisbane Stadium.
As a frequent visitor to the World Cup, Australia's strength was originally far above the Chinese team.
But after Chen Qianjun took over the national football team and modified the technical data for 11 main players, Australia was no match.
At this time, the Chinese team may be able to compete with the world's top teams, let alone the Asian teams?
However, all three group matches were the same starting lineup, and even included a 7-0 teaching match against Oman. The tactical formation was still unchanged, and Australia still grasped the key point.
The overall defense of the Chinese team was too strong and I couldn't think of a good solution for a while, but the Chinese team's offense was thoroughly studied by Australia.
Although it was amazing that Wu Sanshi scored 7 goals in three group matches, after careful research, the Australians found that Wu Sanshi's strengths are team cooperation, physical fitness, speed, shooting skills, while physical (confrontationality), dribbling, breakthrough, etc. are relatively poor.
Center Yang Xu has good physical fitness and header, but his shooting skills are not good, and his dribbling breakthrough is also very poor.
Other Chinese players also have the same problem. They all have two or three physical or technical indicators that are excellent, but other techniques are not good.
Looking at the starting lineup of the entire Chinese team, none of the players have outstanding dribbling breakthrough ability.
This discovery made the Australian coaching staff ecstatic, and immediately formulated corresponding tactics and conducted targeted training a few days before the game.
Then, during the game, Australia used the regional joint defense and man-marking strategy, as long as it pays attention to the passing and cutting cooperation of the Chinese team.
As for the personal breakthroughs of Chinese players, I don’t have to worry about them.
Even if someone occasionally performs extraordinary things and cuts off with tactical fouls. Even if Hao Junmin's free kick is quite threatening, not every free kick can be scored.
Australia's strategy has indeed grasped the weakness of the Chinese team's lack of players to break through, which has put the Chinese team's offense in a quagmire and has not improved any time.
Although the Chinese team is excellent in defense, Australia's occasional counterattacks are stumbled upon. Compared with the first three group matches, the Chinese national football team's offense is indeed too bad. Half an hour after the game began, it was unable to make any decent threat attack.
Chen Qianjun's low on-site command ability even failed to realize that his players had been restricted to death by his opponents.
It was still Gao Hongbo who suddenly told Chen Qianjun in the 31st minute: "Guide Chen, this won't work. The opponent has understood our tactics and the advantages and disadvantages of the players, and he cannot make a threatening attack at all. If this continues, he may be dragged into overtime or even a penalty shootout, so there will be too many variables."
Chen Qianjun was shocked. Only then did he realize that his tactics and player characteristics had been thoroughly studied by his opponents and had made targeted arrangements, but he was still unaware of anything.
He looked at his system and followed Gao Hongbo and others to steal the stolen skills during this period. Although it had risen a lot, he still had only 48 points of tactical literacy and 35 points of on-site command, and understood what the problem was.
So, Chen Qianjun asked, "Then what do you think we should adjust now?"
This is very mentally retarded. If it were someone else, I would probably doubt Chen Qianjun's level: Are you the head coach or am I the head coach?
However, Gao Hongbo's obedience to Chen Qianjun was as high as 90, and Chen Qianjun won big wins in all four games and lost one goal. Gao Hongbo had already convinced Chen Qianjun.
This question, in his ears, was more like the test Chen Qianjun had on him.
Therefore, as an assistant coach, Gao Hongbo answered very seriously: "Our team cooperation is locked by the opponent's regional joint defense and man-marking defense, and no one has outstanding dribbling breakthrough ability and cannot break through the opponent's defense with personal ability. At this time, a player with excellent skills should be sent to break the balance with excellent dribbling breakthrough ability, just like Messi's role in Barcelona."
Chen Qianjun nodded, knowing in his heart what he should do.
But at this time, Gao Hongbo scratched his head, frowned and continued: "However, there are no dribbling masters in our formation! Only Jiang Zhipeng and Yu Hi can barely see the dribbling masters. They are just choosing a general from the short guys, barely making up for their work. It is unlikely that they will break through the tall and powerful Australian defender!"
Chen Qianjun smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't underestimate them!"
Then, he turned to the bench and said, "Jiang Zhipeng, Yu Hi, you two are going to warm up and prepare to appear."
Jiang Zhipeng and Yu Hi were immediately overjoyed, got up immediately, and went to the sidelines to warm up.
You know, after three group matches, Chen Qianjun has never changed any of them. Even when he has already secured the first place in the group and qualified early, Chen Qianjun did not replace a main player in the third game of Chaoxian. It is simply unreasonable.
The remaining substitutes are even ready to get no chance to play after playing the Asian Cup.
They have already seen that the 11 main players selected by Chen Qianjun are too outstanding in their personal abilities and they have no chance of competition.
Even the 11 people who were supposed to be short-term physical fitness, did not have any problems.
With such a situation and mental state, and now it has only been half an hour in the first half, no one expected that Chen Qianjun would suddenly ask them to warm up and prepare to replace them, so it is no wonder that the two were ecstatic.
The tv-5 commentator was also surprised to see Jiang Zhipeng and Yu Hi getting up to warm up and said:
"We saw that Jiang Zhipeng and Yu Hi were called away from the bench by Chen Qianjun and went to the sidelines to warm up."
"Is this a replacement?"
"You know, it's only the 31st minute of the first half!"
"Although we have not opened up the situation for a long time and have not achieved any decent threatening attack, Australia has no way to deal with our defense. The situation on the field is a draw."
"It's a bit disappointing compared to the group stage when facing Australia, a regular in the World Cup, but I think it's acceptable."
"I'm going to replace someone so early, I wonder what Chen Qianjun is thinking?"
The guest next to him took the conversation and analyzed it. The implication was that the current team cooperation of the Chinese team was restricted by Australia, and someone needed to use personal skills to break through the opponent's defense line.
Obviously, this is the purpose of Chen Qianjun's replacement.
