Chapter 20 Two consecutive victories

In the second half, Lu Juren replaced Luo Xian and replaced Li Xudong. The formation changed to the familiar 4-5-1. He hoped to use his familiar playing style to establish the victory as soon as possible on the basis of strengthening defense.

The net-style play trapped Vietnam's midfield and frontcourt, and all the players were shrunk in their own half, playing in a messy and disorganized manner. The once shining "Broken Palm" winger could only run back and forth, working without any effort, and wandering aimlessly like a headless fly.

The Chinese team played smoothly, and the fluency of passing in the midfield and frontcourt was greatly improved, and finally got a reward in the score.

79′, Ma Kang's "air raid" finally came into effect and successfully blasted the Vietnamese team's gate;

86′, took the horse and fought back at the front point, and Zhu Liye scored his first goal in the Asian Youth Championship.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Vietnam 2-0 and achieved a "good start".

After the game, the substitute rushed to the court to hug and celebrate with his teammates on the court, cheering for the team's victory;

Long Tian walked down from the stands, walked to the middle of his teammates, and shared the joy of victory with everyone.

Luo Xian had already changed into a coat and complained to Long Tian: "Oh my God, I'm so lucky. I wanted to adjust my posture, but I still knocked the ball away. I'm depressed!"

Long Tian patted his shoulder and said happily: "Xian, it's not bad, I almost broke the door! It's okay, it's the first time, it's understandable; you were too nervous and not ready at the time. The next time will be better than this time. I believe you can do it yourself!"

Luo Xian was in a better mood, but was still muttering.

Deep inside, Long Tian felt as if he was looking forward to it, but he didn't show it.

Back at the hotel, the Chinese team watched another game in this group, Iraq vs. Turkmen.

This game in Morioka, a city on the banks of the North Korean River, attracted many fans to watch the game.

At the beginning of the game, Turkmen sounded the alarm for Iraq's defense: Turkmen No. 9 player Alev calmly took off under the attack of two defenders in the Iraqi team's penalty area, and the ball was slightly higher than the lintel!

However, the Iraqi team did not learn from the lessons, and made constant mistakes in the back, which finally caused a big mistake at 31′: the Iraqi goalkeeper kicked the ball with a soft kick and was caught by Lu Xian, a player of the Turkish team No. 10, and successfully attacked!

In the future, the Turkmen team had the advantage in offense and kept putting pressure on their opponents, but it was a pity that they were too lucky;

The Iraqi team also organized several threatening attacks, but the results were not very effective, and the score of 0:1 was maintained until the end of the game.

The Iraqi team played in this game today, and the style of the Athens Olympics was gone. Overall, they felt that their identity and name were actually true.

A burst of cheers broke out among the Chinese players, and everyone was happily talking about how to slaughter these two bottom troops in the next two games, especially Iraq, to ​​avenge a revenge in the last Olympic qualifier;

The wonderful feeling of entering the top 16 with a double-digit goal difference echoes in everyone's heart. Since the qualifiers of the South Korean and Japanese World Cup, all Chinese national teams have not been able to experience the feeling of sweeping. Now they have the opportunity to realize it. Why not boldly look forward to the realization of this feeling?

Lu Juren looked at the cheering team members without saying anything, but suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and the muscles on his face trembled a few times unconsciously.

I didn't have long stays. After a night of rest, early in the morning of the next day (20th), all members of the Chinese team took the Shinkansen bullet train to Tokyo, and then transferred to Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture.

Two days later, at 3 pm on the 22nd, the Chinese team and Turkmen were played at the Hitachi Soccer Stadium, the home court of the J League team of Kashima City.

Lu Juren did not send Ma Kang to the front line, and sent Luo Xian and Sun Xinji combination who had been very careful in recent times, and continued to use the 4-3-1-2 formation used in the previous match against Vietnam;

It is obvious that the Turkmen team has some tactical reservations. Lu Xian, the hero in the last game, did not appear, and piled up a large number of troops in the middle and backcourts. The goal is very clear, just to go for one point.

Continuing the momentum of the previous game, the Chinese team took the initiative on the field and continued to launch a wave of attacks higher and higher. In just 20 minutes of the game, Luo and Sun had already completed 15 shots, with an average of more than one minute!

The midfielder kept sending shells forward, and the two forwards tried very hard to show themselves, but they always felt that the sight was not enough: either the ball was too high or the ball was too slow, and the two arrows were unable to accurately grasp the attack rhythm of the frontcourt.

Although Turkmen players were made by the Chinese team and were exhausted, they still had strong echoes between each other, and gradually reversed the disadvantage on the field, miraculously resisting the almost crazy offensive craze of the powerful Chinese team.

In the first half, both sides exchanged blank papers.

In the lounge, Lu Juren criticized several frontcourt players, and helped to make adjustments to the formation, replaced two forwards, replaced the main arrows of the horse and the forward-garde district wind to achieve steady and effective advancement, and returned to the familiar 4-5-1 formation again;

He knew that if he had to win this game, the draw would mean death. Only by relying on the offensive method that our team has always relied on can we break through the current dilemma and strive for victory!

After Ma Kang came on the court, the Chinese team's frontcourt immediately showed vitality!

Zhu Liye took the ball, and Ma Kang accurately smashed the ball into the dead corner of the goal, and was caught by the goalkeeper on the goal line;

Li Xudong made a long pass with a big foot, and he scored a pass over the ball, and Ma Kang, who followed, hit the ball high;

Qu Feng successfully counterattacked in the midfield of the Tu team and sent Ma Kang the first pass after he came on the court. Ma Kang saw the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal and cleverly made a pick shot. The ball miserably hit the net on the top of the goal!

After finding the right pace on the field, Ma Kang finally lived up to expectations and knocked on the door to victory for the Chinese team with his best goal.

83′, Li Xudong broke through the opponent and hanged the ball into the penalty area with his big foot;

Ma Kang looked at it with a real look, ran up, judged the landing point, took off, and a beautiful fish jumped to the top, and the ball obediently flew into the Turkmen team's gate!

When Ma Kang started running, the goalkeeper of the Turkish team watched the giant's movement and was secretly scared. He felt that the mountain suddenly "collapsed". A white cloud shook in front of him, and the ball disappeared!

When he turned around, he realized that the goal had fallen. He grabbed his hair a few times in annoyance and cursed constantly, hating his dereliction of duty.

Ma Kanggang stood up and was hugged tightly by his teammates who were running up. He himself was very happy to wave his huge hands into the sky!

In the end, with Ma Kang's goal, the Chinese team defeated Turkmen 1:0, won two games, scored 6 points, scored 3 goals and 0 conceded, and locked a seat in the top 16 in one round ahead of schedule.

Lu Juren smoked in a cowardly. Although he won the game today and the team successfully advanced to the next round, to be fair, the Chinese team did not play well, although the players have worked hard to implement their tactical requirements.

Why is it only suitable for single strikers in the frontcourt, and sending double strikers to weaken the attack power?

Can the team really only have a single arrow configuration?

The attack methods in the frontcourt were still a little monotonous. How to improve them? Take a deep breath of cigarettes, trying to exhale the anger in his heart along with the smoke rings, but he sucked too hard, so he coughed a few times!

Just so happened, Wang Peng pushed the door and came in: "Old Lu, what's wrong? Suck it less, it hurts your body!"

"No, it's okay, I just choked." After his breathing was stable, he threw half of the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"Lao Lu, we have a stable ball control in today's game, and the characteristics of the net-style play have been better played..."

This is the results achieved by the team after each game or large-scale training match, and the initial solutions are Wang Peng's main task. As the team's technical guidance, he must be responsible to the team and the country.

Wang Peng held a stack of information in his hand, which contained several major items such as his detailed analysis based on the team's performance in these two games, scoring the player's performance, displaying characteristics, dialysis of play style, grasping rhythm, existing problems, and correction suggestions.

Wang Peng handed the information to Lu Juren, and he made additional explanations on the side;

He looked carefully. The material was very professional, the analysis was very meticulous and in place, and the opinions put forward were quite constructive. The head coach couldn't help but nodded, but seemed to touch the forbearing string in his heart: "According to your words, the single arrow style is not suitable for the Chinese team?!"

Wang Peng noticed the unhappy feeling in his friend's tone and quickly explained: "Old Lu, don't get me wrong. I won't deny your strategic choice. After all, this team has devoted your life's hard work, and no one knows this team better than you! You have the most say in what kind of formation it is suitable for!"

Noting that his face was slightly relaxed, Wang Peng continued, "Through these two games, I believe you should also notice that even if Ma Kang was on the court, he wasted many opportunities before he succeeded, let alone other players. Not to mention European and American teams, even when facing Asian teams such as Korea and Japan, one opportunity can kill people. How can you expect many opportunities to appear?"

"I think the fundamental reason for this situation is that your frontcourt play is not clear and not clear. The players are not used to practicing many offensive routines, and the team's offensive methods are a bit monotonous. Lao Lu, I think it should be time to enrich the frontcourt play."

After pausing for a moment, observing Lu Juren's deep thoughtful expression, Wang Peng took a deep breath, "Ma Kang is an excellent player. I don't think it is a mistake to use him more. In fact, if he can be used alive, he will play a greater role than he is now. I just feel that when the pressure the opponent has created on us in the game is not enough to end, we should take certain risks, resolutely enrich our offensive routines, and leave more ways for ourselves."

"All eggs are destined to be destroyed when a team can only rely on one person, and the fate of failure is destined to be destined! Ma Kang is also a person, he is not a god, he will be tired and make mistakes. Once he is absent, how will your team continue?"

Looking at the firm eyes reflected in Wang Peng's clear eyes, Lu Juren's heart moved violently. The two looked at each other without saying a word for dozens of seconds, only using their eyes to communicate: Wang Peng was a firm plea, and there was a trace of dodging in Lu Juren's depth.

The day after the Battle of Middle-earth (23rd), the Chinese team was still training in Kashiwa City in the morning and transferred to Nagoya City in the afternoon.

Although they had just experienced the high intensity of two games within four days, fortunately, the opponents were both average. In addition to being slightly tired, the players were in good spirits, the team was not injured, and the players also had more confidence in the knockout round.

Because the group qualifying has been ensured, the game with Iraq will become a "warm-up match" for the Chinese team. Lu Juren will give substitutes more opportunities on the basis of ensuring results, so that the main players can get more rest, so as to examine the stability of the team's playing style and the depth of the bench.

Although the Football Association requires that they take it seriously and never give up their opponents lightly, after analysis, the coaching staff still felt that it was necessary to make some preparations for the knockout round, and the primary goal was to strictly prevent the occurrence of injuries;

Judging from the first two games, the level of this Iraq team has dropped very significantly, which is a very different place from the previous Athens Olympic Games. Therefore, although there is the shame of being eliminated by the last Olympic qualifiers, Chinese players do not take it too seriously, and the overall atmosphere of the team is still relatively relaxed and pleasant.

Therefore, several substitutes who are likely to play are very positive, hoping to win the favor of the coach;

Infected by the joy of qualifying, everyone was in a good mood. Even if they were easily shaken by someone, they would not care about it like usual. Everyone was smiling, and the atmosphere on the training ground was very relaxed and active.
