Super Storm

On the evening of July 17, the Beijing Workers' Sports Association.

The Asian Cup opener, Group A first round group match, host China against Bahrain.

When the game reached the fortieth minute, the Chinese team attacked aggressively, and then defended against emptiness. The opponent sent a long pass to counterattack. The Bahrain striker directly faced the goalkeeper on the 29th and scored.

This goal came very suddenly, and all the fans of the whole body were shocked.

Even the coaches and substitutes on the court were equally surprised.

No one thought that the Chinese team, who had just attacked the opponent's goal just now and made a lot of threats, would suddenly be hit by a counterattack to break the goal, allowing the Bahrain team to take the lead.

There was a burst of boos in the audience, and the Chinese fans on the scene were obviously quite dissatisfied with this result.

The national team players on the court were also hit hard.

…………

…………

Sitting on the bench, Yang Yang has been watching the game silently. After seeing the opponent striker score, he can only shake his head in disappointment. This was unexpected, but it was a reasonable goal conceded.

Alihan once again discharged the formation of four, four, two, including Yang Yang, Sun Jihai and Shao Jiayi, three foreign internationals were placed on the bench, until the thirty-second minute, Shao Jiayi Only then did he replace the injured Li Xiaopeng.

Although it was four or two, in fact, Aihan's formation was quite particular.

Yan Song on the left is the main breakthrough of the team's offense. Both Li Jinyu and Hao Dong are required to expand the range of activities, while on the right, Zhao Junzhe, who should have been playing midfielder midfielder, Li Xiaopeng and teenager Zhou Haibin occupy the center.

This kind of employment may seem strange, but if you think about it carefully, it's no surprise.

Alihan's requirements for the frontcourt are very simple. It is exactly the same as Ajax. That is to force the oppression. Once the ball is lost, the anti-robbery is launched on the spot. Even if the ball cannot be snatched, the opponent's attack must be delayed.

Playing Zhao Junzhe on the right is obviously to use him to suppress the opponent's left and give full play to his more physical fitness than Li Xiaopeng, but he does not seem to have the intent of understanding the head coach. Let it out.

The goal just now was a long pass from Bahrain's left backcourt.

Wei Xin was diligent and diligent, and he didn't have any brilliant performances, but also made no mistakes, but his characteristics were not good at forward attack.

The involuntary pressure on the frontcourt was not positive, which directly led to an imbalance in the midfield. Zhou Haibin was supposed to play a role similar to ac Milan Pirlo to give full play to his ability to score and organize, but now he has to invest more Defensive energy, but defense is not his strength.

From the perspective of the whole first half, Alihan's employment is understandable, but it must have failed, because the player has no way to understand his intentions, just like Zheng Zhi had no way to understand what is the center half.

High pressure and oppression and passing the ball in the midfield and backcourt are not new at all in Ajax, in the Netherlands and European football, but for Chinese football, this kind of thing is too advanced, it is difficult for players to understand .

Just like Yang Yang, it took a lot of time before to let roommate Zheng Zhi initially understand the duties of the central defender.

This time I played the Toulon Cup and participated in the national team training. Yang Yang found that if viewed purely from his technical ability, Chinese players would not be too bad. The reason why they feel so bad is mainly because of their psychological qualities. And tactical literacy.

Tactical literacy is not something that can be done overnight, but through long-term accumulation, through youth training and leagues, the national team is not a place to train players, especially after the FIFA reform schedule nowadays, basically The mechanism of recruiting and playing, and dispersing after playing, has higher requirements for players' tactical literacy.

The psychological quality level is more vividly reflected in the first half against Bahrain.

Whether it is Alihan or Bahrain coach, before the game, they emphasized that the host ’s home battle is a double-edged sword, which may bring help, but excessive pressure may also overwhelm the player, and the first half undoubtedly reflected it. .

The players played too restrictively on the court, fearing to make mistakes, not letting go, coupled with the inability to implement the tactical intentions of the head coach, resulting in the team playing very chaoticly, without rules and regulations, which was successfully attacked by Bahrain.

Of course, apart from the national team ’s factors, the Football Association ’s overall logistics preparation is also quite bad, and it is not even as professional as the Ajax II team in intelligence. At least Yang Yang even wants to simulate his own in the super training ground. Opponents are not easy.

The National Youth team's previous encounter at the Toulon Cup also reflected this problem.

In addition to intelligence and logistics organizations, the players ’eating habits, professional qualities and other aspects are still lacking. Whether it is the national youth team before or the current national team, Yang Yang has seen that his teammates have irregular diets, but they can only pretend He didn't care, and he himself strictly bound himself in strict accordance with the requirements.

I do n’t know if it ’s because of reading. Yang Yang likes to think. He feels that the phenomena he has seen all show that China ’s entire football industry is still in a relatively backward stage, and no one pays enough attention.

As for the national team coach Ali Han, Yang Yang personally has a good impression of him. The coaching level is definitely there, and the thinking is quite clear. He just wants to transplant the Ajax style of play to the Chinese team. , But for the time being, it will not work.

The tactics are too complicated. Even if Yang Yang played in Ajax for a year, he was still not sure that he completely understood it, not to mention the national team players?

In addition, the national team's frontline strength is insufficient, and the sense of pressure in the midfield is not enough, especially the overall pressure.

This kind of coercion must be the whole in order to be effective, one or two people forced, useless.

As for the forwards, it is not difficult to guess the forwards that Ajax has relied on over the years. The dependence of this set of styles on the forwards, even Ibrahimovic ’s powerful center, is still not enough. All the requirements of Ajax.

After thinking about this level, Yang Yang suddenly felt that Alihan should know that after all, he has been coaching for two years. To say that he is countless, it is impossible. From the beginning of the training, he emphasized the most The defensive force is the one that catches the most.

In other words, he knows where the problems of the Chinese team are now, and he is also trying to find a solution to the problem.

At this moment, Yang Yang suddenly recalled a sentence that Alihan once told him when he was in the Netherlands.

"Whether it is the Chinese team or me, I need you very much now."

…………

…………

"Yang Yang!"

When Yang Yang was thinking, Alihan, who was standing in front of the coach, suddenly turned around and shouted skillfully in Dutch.

"Go warm up and go back to the locker room immediately. I'll wait for you."

Having said that, he had already taken De Young directly into the player channel.

At this time, the first half of the game on the court is over.

The Chinese team trailed Bahrain zero to one.

Is Alihan going to make a substitution in the midfield?

Many people can't understand Alihan's Dutch, but they vaguely guessed what it meant, and turned their heads to look at the new recruit's egg with different eyes.

From the first day of Yang Yang joining the team, everyone knows that from the Netherlands, he is from Ajax, a player selected by Ali Hanchen, and it is only a matter of time before it is reused.

And now, Alihan can't wait.

…………

…………

Yang Yang didn't pay attention to the eyes and thoughts of other players. He ran quickly to warm up and then quickly returned to the locker room.

As soon as he entered, he found the atmosphere in the dressing room strange.

The atmosphere between the players and the coach is a bit stiff, and obviously both sides have some opinions about each other.

This is not uncommon in the locker room. When you win the game, you are good. If you lose the ball, you will be drawn. The teams all over the world are the same.

But the rule in the dressing room is that when you walk out of this door, you ca n’t reveal anything about it.

After seeing Yang Yang coming in, the expressions of many players in the dressing room changed significantly.

Yang Yang can play multiple positions, he made his right winger's debut in Ajax, but he played as a striker in the Toulon Cup. The previous video clip made many people optimistic about his playing in the midfield, and no one guessed how Arihan would arrange him. .

"Zhou, I'm sorry, we must make some tactical adjustments in the second half." Alihan said apologetically towards Zhou Haibin.

Zhou Haibin nodded silently, stood up, and turned to the back shower area.

Many people in the locker room obviously did not believe what Alihan said, except Yang Yang.

The tactics in the first half were too complicated, and the players were not in place. They really need to be adjusted.

Zhao Junzhe returned to the middle and played defense after the delay. Shao Jia came forward and Yan Song and Yang Yang played two wings. This should be Alihan ’s adjustment. In this case, Zhou Haibin was embarrassed. The delayed defense was not as good as Zhao Junzhe. It ’s not as good as Shao Jiayi, and it can only be replaced.

"Yang, we gave the opponent too much freedom on the left in the first half. Can I suppress him in the second half? Can he do it?" Ali Han asked in a deep voice.

Yang Yang nodded and said: "Yes."

"I don't want you to defend, as long as you give me the pressure on their left, don't let them pass that kind of ball, understand?"

The goal in the first half was a long pass from the left side of the backcourt. The defensive players did not go forward to block the first time, and the Chinese team's anti-empty was exposed after the heavy pressure.

"I know." Yang Yang nodded.

Alihan is also very at ease with Yang Yang. He is very clear about Yang Yang's performance in Ajax. Many things cannot be understood by others. He believes that Yang Yang can do it because he did so in Ajax.

The others in the locker room were blank.

That's all?

In the first half, I changed a person because of injury. During the halftime, I changed another 17-year-old teenager. The tactical layout is so simple. Does it need to be arranged more carefully?

"Coach, do you want to explain to Yang Yang in detail?" The Chinese coaching staff asked with concern.

Alihan shook his head: "No, he understands."

Having said that, he turned to Shao Jiayi to arrange the play in the second half in detail, and decided to change from an attack that tended to the left side to a two-wing takeoff, because Yang Yang also has a strong assault ability.

The Chinese coaching staff still felt uneasy and turned to ask Yang Yang, "Are you sure you understand what you want to do? If you don't understand, you need to ask more and ask more clearly, otherwise you will be dizzy when you arrive on the court."

Yang Yang knew that the other party was well-intentioned and was not angry. He nodded lightly, "I really understand."
