Section 174 Captain's Armband
Zhang Yuan’s comments are actually very unreasonable.
Alihan's tactical reforms mainly carried out reforms on the back line, and on the offensive end, he made almost no effective adjustments except for promoting Li Yi.
The highlight of his national team's changes is the combination of double midfielders of Li Gang and Zhao Junzhe, plus the double midfielders of Zheng Zhi and Li Datou. Then, Wei Xin served as the right back. This adjustment makes him pay more attention to the defense line. There is nothing wrong with the coaching philosophy being conservative, but the others are Zhang Yuan's own views.
However, his view has some truth.
The Chinese team has always been the victims of Japan, South Korea and West Asia. Compared with China, the strength of the Japanese and South Korea teams is that their midfield control ability is better, while the West Asia team is stronger is that their physical fitness is stronger. The Chinese team's defense has always prevented others from playing behind the ball, and putting Zheng Zhi over can be said to be a very targeted arrangement.
On the offensive end, Alihan has no particularly good solution. The Chinese team's front midfielder position has always been the biggest shortcoming. People with this vision and awareness are scarce in China and even Asia. Therefore, Alihan's method is to simply take the ball, advance to the frontcourt through the rapid breakthrough of the two wings and leave it to the forward player to solve it themselves.
After all, the wing is the excellence of the Chinese team. Zhao Yaning and Sun Jihe's impact, speed, extraordinary ability, and crossing are both top-notch in Asia. But the striker has become an important issue, and Hao Dapao is naturally the best choice. After all, he is the only striker with independent attack ability in the national football team. However, afterwards, he left Daewoo idle and used Li Yi, which seemed a bit conservative: Li Yi's only advantage in the frontcourt is that he will not easily conceal the ball and be beaten to counterattack.
It is hard to say that this kind of play is as good as Dutch football. Instead, the football that is good at playing back and then solves the problem with personal abilities in the front court is very similar to Italian turtle football.
Even the simplified version of Argentina in 1986 is indeed impossible.
However, for Zhao Yaning, this idea is not bad.
Zhang Yuanyi didn't like Alihan coaching very much. The Dutch's full attack and defense were created to fight against the excellent skills of the South Americans. To put it bluntly, it was a **Silk kicking style that relied on the defense of the entire audience to fight against the genius - but the word **Silk didn't have the word **Silk in this era, and even the **Silk Emperor was waiting to become famous on the court.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan has always disliked this style of playing. He is afraid that doing so will limit Zhao Yaning's performance. But now, he has changed his mind. If this continues, who can play forward in the national team? Hao Dapao has not been able to help him, and Dayu will only abuse the food. In the future, this position may fall on Zhao Yaning.
Zhang Yuan is very clear about Zhao Yaning's breakthrough ability. There is definitely no second one in Asia. Although his shooting skills are a little bad and he has no advantages in running, relying on his ability to force breakthroughs, facing Asian defenders alone should not be very problematic.
And if it's really like this...
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel happy secretly. He had to say that this idea would linger once it appeared in his mind. Although Zhang Yuan also admitted that the teaching that Monaco gave Zhao Yaning to Zhao Yaning was that the way he could become the core of the team from a winger and a midfielder step by step was the kingly way of playing for real football players, the problem was that the most eye-catching and shocking thing was the counterattack arrow that prevented the counterattack of football. The figure who hit the opponent's defense line after getting the football looks the most majestic in anyone's eyes.
If Zhao Yaning can really be allowed to hit the counterattack arrow, Zhang Yuan thinks that it will definitely be a very interesting way of playing. With his ability and the stimulation of some media, he will not have too many doubts about beating him as Maradona in Asia.
This idea made Zhang Yuan very excited, not to mention that Zhao Yaning’s way of playing football was not a pure striker, which was inconsistent with Maradona’s national team style of playing. At that time, in Argentina, Maradona was also like a midfielder when attacking, and like a striker when defending. This kind of large drawdown and then dribbling the ball to attack was the most beautiful personal performance.
Zhang Yuan knew one thing very well. There may have been many amazing great men in the football world, but it was won by others that they could be praised as champions by themselves. There was only one Maradona. If Zhao Yaning was told about him, then Zhao Yaning's position in the domestic football world in the future would not be as simple as a dominant national team, but would become the absolute boss of the national team.
"How much do you know about this coach?" Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan asked Mr. Li beside him, "With your opinion, how strong is his defense line?"
Seeing Zhang Yuan's solemn look, Mr. Li didn't dare to speak randomly. After watching for a long time, he made his own evaluation, "It's absolutely OK to talk about ability. But the problem is that this is so bizarre that it's so nonsense. Such an approach will definitely cause a lot of trouble. If it's just accusation by the media, it's easy to deal with. If there's a turmoil because of this national team, it's going to be a big trouble."
"I think this coach is pretty good." Zhang Yuan expressed his opinion, "Look at it again. If his defense line is well organized, then help him and don't let the media scold him too much."
"But what about the locker room?" Mr. Li asked.
"That..." Zhang Yuan thought for a while, but shook his head, "Don't worry about that."
If you want to be the boss, you have to have the capital of the boss. Ningzi, I can help you solve all the troubles outside of football, but when you enter the stadium, you have to come by yourself. Whether the fish leaps into a dragon or becomes trapped in the quagmire depends on your own.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhao Yaning in the game didn't know what Zhang Yuan was thinking. What he was thinking about now was more about the effect of this new tactic.
In fact, the playing style of this national team is generally pretty average. Except for the fact that it was a bit unexpected to put Zheng Zhi down on the back line, the other positions almost followed the previous routines. The combination of Zhao Junzhe and Li Gang, Li Xiaoping and Sun Jihe played the wing forward, plus Yangpu on the left and Liu Yunfei on the goalkeeper, almost no changes have been made.
The only change is that Xu Yunliang was replaced. In this position, Wei Xin, who was replaced by Sichuan Football Club, was the main force.
In Zhao Yaning's impression, the best right-back of the Chinese team is naturally Sun Jihe. And Sun Jihe should be Xu Yunliang. Although Zhao Yaning had a dirty fight with him, Zhao Yaning never was vague when talking about football issues. Xu Yunliang's ability can indeed be called the second person in the right-back position of the national team, which is beyond doubt.
But Alihan obviously doesn't like to use him, but uses Wei Xin. Wei Xin as the right back, his ability is a little worse than Xu Yunliang in terms of ability. His ability to support him before the insertion is much worse than Xu Yunliang. But on the other hand, his defense is indeed more stable and serious than Xu Yunliang. It is understandable that the coach has allowed him to replace Xu Yunliang's position with the purpose of strengthening defense.
Zhao Yaning believes that such a coach who attaches more importance to defense may be a good thing for China. He may really find a way to help him. If he can really build an excellent defense line, the possibility of the national team entering the World Cup again in the future will be higher.
Zhao Yaning was thinking about his own thoughts, and when playing football, he did not invest much energy. Anyway, this game was irrelevant to him, and he was not very energetic.
The opponent of the Chinese team in this game is Brazil. Because it is a friendly match, and the strength of the two sides is too great, the Brazilians did not play football seriously. Among the people who are familiar with Zhao Yaning, there is only one Ronaldo on the court, but you can tell that he has absolutely not put his mind on the court.
But compared with him, Ronaldo's situation was even worse. He only ran the half game and was replaced in the second half. Zhao Yaning felt in his heart that it might be that even Pereira could not stand his idleness, so he replaced Adriano.
Unfortunately, Adriano, who played on the court, is not a diligent guy. His performance in the game can only be described as the four words "Idiot".
In the first half, the two sides had some back and forth battles. Rivaldo had a free kick that was very threatening, and Zhao Yaning also seized the opportunity to shoot. Although both sides were 0:0, the first half was at least a real game. But in the second half, it almost became a game. Although Ronaldo scored a shot, it did not really cause a goal.
"This kind of game is boring, right?" When Ronaldo walked past Zhao Yaning, he couldn't help but say, "I would rather play against Monaco in Paris. It's too easy to win you here."
Zhao Yaning thought about it but still did not refute it. After all, Luo was telling the truth and he had no way to refute it.
By the 70th minute, the Chinese team also started to substitution. Alihan made two adjustments at once, one was Zhou Haibo replacing Zhao Junzhe, and the other was Shao Jiayi replacing Li Xiaoping.
This substitution should be to prepare for the future... Zhao Yaning was still thinking about tactical things in his mind, but at this time, new changes occurred on the side of the court.
"Brother, who are you giving me the armband?" Zhou Haibo, who took the armband from Li Xiaoping, couldn't help but ask.
These words also stunned Li Xiaoping.
During the period when the national team was undergoing a major change in blood, the captain's problem has been hard to say. Fan Zhiyi, Ma Er and others left one after another, and only the qualified ones were Hao Dapao and Yu Gewei. The former was never the captain, and the latter had no chance now. Xiaoping relied on his old qualifications to become the captain on the field, but he went down. Who among the people on the field could take this armband?
Sun Jihe never joined the captain position of the Chinese national team. His temper is like that. He has always been a bit distant from the national team. Xiaoping would not give him the armband. In terms of seniority, it should be Zhao Junzhe, but now he has been replaced. If he goes down, there will be no fixed candidate. Li Datou is a good candidate. The domestic media and several people in the team have always regarded him as the future captain of the national team. However, in the past six months, he has been extremely down and unable to play in the UK and returned home in a mess, which makes people look down on him. And the other one is Zheng Zhi, but he just quarreled with the coach and gave him the armband. Isn’t it that he couldn’t feel happy with him?
Moreover, Li Datou and Zheng Zhi must be considered as people from the southern sect. After all, they are not on the same path with Li Xiaoping, who comes from the north. If they are given, they will give it. Now they are already in a turtle way, so why don’t they step on it?
Looking at the field, Xiaoping made a decision.
"Give it to you Brother Zhao." Li Xiaoping pointed at Zhao Yaning and said, "Send it over."
This decision made Zhou Haibo stare at him, but he still obediently did it.
Chapter completed!
