Chapter 256 Two Passes, One Goal

After seeing the lineup of the China Youth Team, Long Gen was indeed taken aback, but he quickly let go of it. Against the three forwards, it is very important to supplement the defense in the midfield.

Especially when Long Gen saw that the China Youth Team had sent five midfielders, he was even more sure that the China Youth Team was planning to play steadily against the US team based on the midfielder.I don't want to entangle you in the midfield. Weakness in other positions will be fatal.

Besides, just send one striker and want to break through the gate of the US team?The elite German youth team only scored two goals for the US team!With only one striker sent by the Chinese youth team, the threat to the goal of the US team has been greatly reduced. It is only a matter of time before the worry-free US team wants to score!
Long Gen waved to the players confidently: "Let's go! If we win the game, we will enter the quarterfinals!"

**************************************
Like the youth team, the U.S. team’s offensive combination is also an overseas team. Except for the three forwards, the three midfielders are all playing in Europe. Among them, Brian and Morales are from Hertha Berlin in Germany, and the other midfielder Jeffrey is from Brugge in Belgium.

The five-man midfielder sent by Ding Yu gave Longen this illusion. In fact, in Ding Yu’s tactical setting for this game, the China Youth Team’s tactics are also to pass through the midfield quickly and use Long Bisheng’s high-altitude ball control ability in the frontcourt to launch a quick assault——Dai Guangming has a strong organizational ability, but his offensive ability cannot be ignored.

Hu Gandang controlled the ball in the backcourt. After the game started, the kick-off China Youth Team quickly passed the ball to the backcourt. After passing back and forth several times, the ball reached Hu Gandang's feet.

Long Gen, who was off the court, saw that Jeffrey had rushed towards Hu Gandang, and the three forwards also cut off the possible return route of Hu Gandang, and nodded slightly.

Dealing with midfielders who are accustomed to playing ball control is nothing more than using close-fitting presses to actively run to disrupt their rhythm-many defeats of Real Madrid in the Galacticos generation were killed by this tactic.

Although the US team's frontcourt pressing is not too strong, the Chinese youth team is definitely not a galaxy battleship!
Ding Yu on the other end clenched his fists——now!The players in the frontcourt of the US team have basically put into the press, but on the contrary, their backcourt is very weak!

Facing Jeffrey who was coming up to press, Hu Gandang flicked the ball to the side and dodged Jeffrey who was rushing too hard, and then Jeffrey raised his foot before turning around and continuing to press, and passed the ball far to the frontcourt!
A long pass from 30 meters away!The ball was directly passed to the front of the penalty area of ​​the American team. Long Bisheng, who had already run to the position, stuck to the opponent's central defender and jumped high. His eyes had already seen Dai Guangming accelerate from outside the penalty area to the inside of the penalty area. With a flick of the header, the ball was thrown in front of Dai Guangming!
Dai Guangming accelerated again while running, and the ball that Long Bisheng pushed down landed right in front of him. Dai Guangming swung his left foot while running, and slammed the ball hard on the front!
The ball, which was suddenly stressed, suddenly changed its direction, and like an angry dragon breaking free from its restraints, it flew towards the lower right corner of the goal with its teeth and claws open!

Sudden sex!angle!strength!
The goalkeeper of the US team did not expect that the ball that was still in the middle of the China Youth Team just now suddenly came to his penalty area. He almost watched Dai Guangming take the ball with his foot. When he reacted, the ball had already flown into the small penalty area!

The goalkeeper, who was obviously slow in making a save, only touched the trajectory of the ball after the ball flew by. When he fell heavily to the ground, a ball of bright snowflakes exploded in the net behind him!

Huge cheers erupted from the stands flying numerous five-star red flags. There are many Chinese entrepreneurs and workers in Africa, and the outstanding performance of the China Youth Team in the group stage has also stimulated more domestic fans to come across the ocean to watch the game. Now there are nearly [-] Chinese fans in the entire stadium.
But even if the Chinese fans have great confidence in this Chinese youth team, they would never have imagined that within one minute of the opening, the Chinese youth team opened the door to victory!
Dai Guangming opened his arms and embraced tightly with Long Bisheng who assisted him!
Long Bisheng's header ferry is just right, the landing point is so comfortable that he only needs to lift his foot while running, and then shoot the ball in the most comfortable position-the tacit feeling from the Yunjia Tianyu football school before is back, but Long Bisheng's success rate in the header and the timing of the ferry are much better than that time!
"Nice job!" Ding Yu waved his arms off the court, and the game started so smoothly that it was unbelievable!Hu Gandang's accurate long pass from the backcourt, Long Bisheng's beautiful header ferry, Dai Guangming's back shot!Just two passes, a goal!
A seemingly simple goal, but it contains no simple tactical significance!If Ding Yu had not been misleading the opponent, the U.S. team would have only four defenders left in the backcourt, and if Long Bisheng hadn't played an excellent connection in the middle, then no matter how accurate Hu Gandang's long pass was and how timely Dai Guangming's penetration was, this goal would not have come smoothly!

Why, after Zidane and Riquelme, is there no midfielder in the world who can change the outcome of the game by himself?Faster, higher and stronger is not only the Olympic spirit, but also an indispensable theory in modern football. A giant, a strong team may not have a super-class midfielder, but it cannot lack a super-class forward!

The super forwards of modern football can no longer be described as forwards only. They can score goals and organize.Their role is more to score than to organize!
Looking at the Chinese youth team players celebrating, Long Gen was stunned for a moment, but he soon felt relieved.

In his opinion, this goal is completely luck!Even if the China Youth Team did it on purpose, but a team accustomed to playing midfield control suddenly changed to playing long passes and lobs. How will the players adapt in a short time?Even if the initial offense scored a goal, but the overall offense and defense of the audience will inevitably show flaws, and the result will be a disconnect between the front and back courts!
"Training and attack!" Long Gen gestured towards the field. Seeing that Adu and Altidore nodded to him at the same time, he was immediately relieved. In the U.S. youth team, Adu and Altidore, who have already played for the national team, are undoubtedly the spiritual core of others!As long as they don't lose their confidence by the conceded goal just now, the U.S. youth team has nothing to worry about!
Then Long Gen's eyes turned to the backcourt. The main central defender Long Bisheng got a header from above his head just now, Kyle Davis of Southampton - it was just an accident just now. Next, you have to perform well and keep an eye on that big man!

Davis showed a wry smile. He is the tallest in the U.S. defense line, but his height is only just over 1.8 meters. Southampton was relegated in the British Championship last season.This task is a bit difficult...

But as a professional player, one must not be afraid anyway—Davis followed Long Bisheng energetically. Looking at Long Bisheng, who was a full head and a half taller than himself, Davis felt a drum in his heart. He only hoped that the offensive team could suppress the opponent within half the court and reduce the chances of him confronting this tall man head-on. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to control Long Bisheng throughout the game.

You can prevent his direct header, but you can't even block his header ferry. This is why Jan Koller was not super-class, but one of the reasons why any super defender dared not ignore it. The height of two meters is a huge threat in itself.

Maybe his prayers came true. After the game restarted, the U.S. team with Adu as the main offensive force had a real upper hand in the offensive. This 14-year-old genius who made a big splash in the Under-17 World Youth Championship really has the strength to stand out from the crowd!
Gao Zhifa has been thrown away by Adu three times. Gao Zhifa is not very eye-catching on the court, but this right back from Shandong has always firmly occupied the position of the main right back of the China Youth Team. There is only one reason. He is stable enough. Maybe he will not be under the attention of people throughout the game, but he can make the right side he guards become a quagmire for the opponent's attack!
However, under Adu's rapid assault, Gao Zhifa became extremely embarrassed. He was far slower than his opponent and was basically played by Adu in the applause. If Jiang Qi hadn't made several accurate replacements, I am afraid that Adu would have made a breakthrough on the side. With Adu's speed and technology, entering the penalty area is a huge threat!

Jiang Qi moved his position to the right, and left the defense in the center to Hu Gandang—during this period, the US team's offense was basically concentrated on the left side where Adu was.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Adu's mouth turned up slightly—are you using two people to stare at me?Then your defenses in other places will probably become very weak...
