God of Greenery

After playing the league match with Waiters and creating a big news that caused a sensation in the world, Jiang Xiaolin flew back to China the next day, preparing to participate in the fourth round of the National Football Top Ten Tournament.

It is worth mentioning that after the top 20 world preliminaries and the Olympic Games, the national football team canceled the contracts with Dujkovic and Folado and re-selected coaches.

Yin Tiesheng, who led the National Olympics to win the Olympic championship, became the coach of the new national team and led the national football team to compete in the top ten matches.

During Jiang Xiaolin's truce due to injury, the Huaguo national team has played three rounds of the top ten matches, beating Uzbekistan 2-0 in the first round, drawing with Bahrain 1-1 in the second round, and 0 away in the third round. -4 lost to Australia.

After three rounds, Australia ranked first with 6 points, Japan ranked second with 4 points due to goal difference, China ranked third with 4 points due to goal difference, Bahrain ranked fourth with 1 point, and Uzbekistan ranked 1st with [-] point. The points are at the bottom because of the goal difference.

However, although the Huaguo team has the same points as Japan, the Huaguo team has played three games.

Because Japan had a bye in the second round, it actually only played two games, and the Hua Guo team was at a disadvantage.

And Bahrain, which only has 1 point in the back, only played two games. If the Hua Guo team loses in the fourth round and the Bahrain team wins, Bahrain will have the same points as the Hua Guo team, and because of the goal difference surpassed the Chinese team.

As for Japan, if the Chinese team loses, then the Japanese team will naturally win, because in the fourth round, the Chinese team will play against Japan at home, Bahrain will play against Australia at home, and Uzbekistan will have a bye.

The Hua Guo team has basically slipped into a very dangerous situation. If you don't pay attention, you won't get the top two places.

Fortunately, the first three rounds were played like this because Jiang Xiaolin was injured and did not participate.But now that Jiang Xiaolin has returned, the strength of the Huaguo team is of course not the same.

In particular, Jiang Xiaolin took part in the top ten match with the power of leading Alkmaar to a 10-0 bloodbath against Vitesse with five goals in a single game and topping the Eredivisie scorer list. You will also feel a lot of pressure!
Jiang Xiaolin just led the team to avenge Yu Hai with five goals in a single game, and because of returning to the national team to participate in the top ten match, Jiang Xiaolin was warmly welcomed by thousands of local fans when he got off the plane at Yangcheng Airport.

Countless people crowded in the pick-up hall, so that the airport did not dare to let Jiang Xiaolin come out of the pick-up hall, but quietly left through the VIP passage.

Afraid of causing a stampede.

After Jiang Xiaolin had left, the airport broadcast to inform everyone that Jiang Xiaolin had left and asked everyone to disperse.

Fans and reporters were immediately disappointed.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaolin posted a blog shortly thereafter, stating the reasons why he was allowed to leave the VIP channel for several games, and it was also for the sake of everyone's safety. Fans and friends, please forgive me, and everyone's understanding has been obtained.

In fact, as long as Jiang Xiaolin can lead the national football team to victory and advance to the World Cup, these are trivial matters.

Everyone just waited to see Jiang Xiaolin's performance.

Jiang Xiaolin was almost the latest person to report to the national team. The national football team had actually been training in Yangcheng for a few days.

Therefore, after Jiang Xiaolin rushed to Yangcheng, he rested for one night and joined the training the next day, so he was a little familiar with the cooperation with his teammates.

The players called up by the national team this time are basically the same as the previous top 20 group matches, but there is an obvious change in the position of the front midfielder, that is, the young Olympic core Wang Yongbai replaced Huang Bowen.

In the Olympics, apart from Jiang Xiaolin, Wang Yongbai was almost the best performer.The baptism of the Olympic champion has allowed Wang Yongbai to reach a very high level both physically and mentally.

Coupled with the skillful and tacit cooperation with Jiang Xiaolin in the Olympics, the coaching staff of the national football team chose to let Wang Yongbai start, and cooperate with Jiang Xiaolin to take on the offensive task of the national football team.

After two days of training, on the evening of November 11, the national football team will face Japan at the Tianhe Sports Center Football Stadium, which can accommodate 19 spectators.

Before the start of the game, there was already a lot of voices inside and outside the sports center.

Because of the relationship between the Olympic champion and Jiang Xiaolin's return to the national team, the fans attached great importance to this match. Fans from Yangcheng and all over the country surrounded the football field in the sports center, and there were still tens of thousands of fans who did not If you can buy a ticket to enter the stadium, you can only watch the live broadcast of the game on the large LCD screen outside the stadium.

Fortunately, they are the closest group of people to the stadium, and they can cheer and celebrate with the audience in the stadium.

Everyone firmly believed that under the leadership of Jiang Xiaolin, the Huaguo team would be able to defeat Japan, replace the opponent's second place in the standings, and take the initiative to qualify.

When Jiang Xiaolin and others entered the arena to warm up, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause, and slogans such as "Jiang Xiaolin is awesome", "Come on for the national football team" and "Hua Guo must win" were heard endlessly.

After warming up and before the game, in the player tunnel, Jiang Xiaolin turned on the system and added the "position" that had been added to 19 points in the league to the full value of 20 points, leaving 103 attribute points remaining.

This skill is not very useful for Jiang Xiaolin, but it may sometimes be useful when pressing in the frontcourt.

What if you are lucky, just stand on the spot, block the opponent's backcourt pass, and form a counterattack on the spot?
On-the-spot counterattacks in the backcourt have always had a good scoring rate and cannot be ignored.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin added it to the full value of 20.

Then, a set of procedures such as appearance, playing the national anthem, group photo, handshake, and side selection will go down, and the game will begin.

Before the start of the game, Jiang Xiaolin turned on the team halo to take a look, and found that his Hua Guo team's on-the-spot status for this game was 81%, which was relatively average.

However, Jiang Xiaolin did not use skill points to forcibly improve the team's overall on-the-spot status, because this is not a game that determines the outcome like the Olympic Games.

Even if the Hua Guo team loses this game, there are still four games to come, and they can afford to lose.

If they really lost this game and put the Hua Guo team in a desperate situation, it would not be too late for Jiang Xiaolin to use the team halo next time.

Besides, with Jiang Xiaolin's current strength, the Hua Guo team, which concentrates on defense and counterattack, may not necessarily lose to Japan, which is also an Asian team.

2008年11月19日傍晚19:30，随着主裁判的一声哨响，南非世界杯亚洲区预选赛十强赛A组第四轮华国国家队VS日本国家队的比赛正式开始。

In the latest FIFA rankings, Japan ranks 38th in the world, ranking second in Asia, second only to Australia.

The Hua Guo team ranks 81st in the world and No.10 in Asia, with a huge gap.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin's existence, even if the Hua Guo team was playing at home, it would be a disaster.

Even so, the Huaguo team did not dare to push it too far, and could only continue to play a 4231 defensive counterattack formation. The two defensive midfielders Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibing firmly protected the back line, and the two full-backs assisted in the defense. The offense was almost handed over. To midfielder Wang Yongbai and the only forward Jiang Xiaolin.

The Japanese team naturally knew about Jiang Xiaolin's threat. Although their overall strength was stronger and they mainly focused on offense, they were not careless.

After scoring 6 goals in a record 17 games in the Olympics and topping the league's top scorer list in the Eredivisie, Jiang Xiaolin has become the number one star in Asian football. Any team in Asia must be cautious when facing Jiang Xiaolin.

Therefore, the Japanese team's two center backs on the back line never crossed the line in this game, and the full backs could only provide assists in turn. The midfielder Endo Yasuhito also kept a close eye on Jiang Xiaolin to prevent him from counterattacking.

That is to say, the Japanese team maintains a defensive force of four in the backcourt at any time, with the midfielder closely guarding and the other three assisting in defense to prevent counterattacks by Jiang Xiaolin and the Huaguo team.

The strength of the Japanese team's frontcourt is higher than that of the Huaguo team. If Jiang Xiaolin hadn't dragged the energy of the opponent's four players in the backcourt alone, and let the Japanese team press the attack, the Huaguo team really couldn't stand it.

Even so, the Japanese team's offense was one after another. The midfielder Wang Yongbai was forced to withdraw to the vicinity of the penalty area to participate in the defense, so that he could withstand the Japanese team's offense.

In the 3rd minute, the Japanese team got the first long-range shot from outside the penalty area, but Keiji Tamada missed the shot under the interference of the midfielder Zhou Haibing.

In the 7th minute, full-back Makoto Hasebe broke in from the wing and cut in to shoot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 10th minute, the frontcourt players of the Japanese team played exquisite cooperation.After several passes and cuts, the ball was passed into the penalty area. Center Yoshito Okubo received the ball and adjusted and turned around to shoot. Li Weifeng flew to block the hole, and then kicked out of the penalty area to clear the siege.

In just 10 minutes, Japan made three shots, while the Huaguo team did not even have a successful counterattack, which made the Huaguo fans in the stands very nervous.

Fortunately, the players of the Japanese team are not as good at shooting as Jiang Xiaolin. Although they got a lot of shooting opportunities, they haven't hit the goal frame once.

Of course, the Japanese team also knows their own problems. They can only use more attacks to make up for the lack of shooting quality, and use quantity to change the quality.

In the 12th minute, the midfielder Kengo Nakamura dribbled the ball from the right side of the front court and was pulled down by Hao Junmin, and got a free kick in a good position in the front court.

Kengo Nakamura took the penalty himself, and the ball went over the wall and went straight to the goal.

Fortunately, Song Zhenyu played well this time and saved the ball in time.

Although the Japanese team did not score this free kick, they still got another chance to attack from a corner kick.

After the corner kick opportunity appeared, the two central defenders of the Japanese team had to step forward and enter the penalty area to compete for the header.

Because they can't do it if they don't show up.

The overall height of the players of the Japanese team is much shorter than that of the Huaguo team.

Let's put it this way, according to the data of the starting players in this game, among the starting players on the field, only four of the players in the Japanese team, including the goalkeeper, have a height of over 180cm. The average height of the team is only 177cm, and even the goalkeeper is only 180cm.

On the Huaguo team, the goalkeeper Song Zhenyu is 190cm tall, which is 10cm taller than the Japanese goalkeeper Nozomi Kawaguchi. There are as many as 180 starting players with a height of 8cm or more, and only 3 No player is under 180cm in height.

The average height of the Hua Guo team's starting players has also reached 182cm, which is 5cm higher than the average height of the Japanese team.

In this case, if the Japanese team's two central defenders over 180cm tall do not come to compete for the top when taking a corner kick, there is no need for others to compete with the players of the Hua Guo team in the penalty area.

Of course, the Japanese also know that the possibility of successfully grabbing the first point in the corner kick to form an attack is very low, so they also pay attention to protection to prevent being quickly counterattacked by the opponent.

After the two central defenders came up, the defensive midfielder and the two full-backs did not participate in the attack. They all stayed on the last line to prevent the Hua Guo team from quickly counterattacking.

Naturally, Jiang Xiaolin did not enter the penalty area to participate in the defense. He had to stay at the front and prepare for a counterattack.

Otherwise, if the opportunity comes, you will not be able to seize it.

At the same time, two fullbacks Du Zhenyu and Hao Junmin, who are not 180cm tall but extremely fast, are also waiting for the opportunity to counterattack on the periphery.

In response to the problem of Japan's average height being too short, the Huaguo team formulated a counterattack strategy using corner kicks before the game.

As long as he gets the ball, if Jiang Xiaolin can break through and directly form a one-handed game, then let Jiang Xiaolin dribble and control the ball in the middle, and then the two full-backs break through from the side.

Jiang Xiaolin then split the ball to the side, and the winger made a pass from the bottom. Jiang Xiaolin followed up with a header from the middle.

As long as the two central defenders return to the defense, Jiang Xiaolin's height of 185 and his ability to bounce, head and grab points will have a great chance to grab the first point and form a header, threatening Japan's goal.

Now Jiang Xiaolin, Du Zhenyu, and Hao Junmin are preparing for such a counterattack.

However, the Japanese team focused their energy on Jiang Xiaolin and did not notice the positions of Du Zhenyu and Hao Junmin. They still held the hope of scoring goals through corner kicks!

Of course, for the Hua Guo team, if all tactical designs are to be successful, the defenders must be able to grab the corner kick to the first point, push out of the penalty area, and control the second point.

However, Jiang Xiaolin, Du Zhenyu, and Hao Junmin were not very worried.

Although the two Japanese central defenders are not short in height, the Huaguo team defender and goalkeeper are not short in height either.

What's more, the footwork of the free throw players may not be so precise, and they can accurately send the ball to the heads of their two central defender teammates.

Sure enough, when the ball was sent out, it was a little too close to the goal.

Goalkeeper Song Zhenyu immediately attacked. With a height of 190 and the advantage of being able to use his hands, he punched the ball out of the penalty area without any suspense.

Wang Yongbai unloaded the ball, spiked the ball and turned around, dodging a Japanese team's frontcourt player's press, just observed the situation in the frontcourt for a while, and immediately passed the ball not far in front, only ten minutes away from the center line. Duomi's Jiang Xiaolin.
