We just won the World Youth Championship for the first time two years ago, and now we are on the stage of the World Cup. All fans are expecting the Huaxia team to achieve good results.

Compared with the Huaxia team, Mexico has rich experience in the World Cup. Most of the main players in the team come from big teams in Mexico's local league, such as the Mexican American Football Club, and several players play in the top European leagues. The most famous one is the captain. Hernandez, who played for West Ham United in the Premier League.

The game is about to start, let's introduce the starting lists of both sides.

The Huaxia team started 451.

Forwards: Hernandez, Peralta.

The game is about to start, and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic. Let us cheer for the Huaxia team and wish the Huaxia team a good performance in today's game! "

The Huaxia team kicked off first. Cui Zhen and Lei Heyang stood in the middle circle. He looked back to the backcourt. The teammates of the national team looked serious, and everyone was ready to fight.

Lei Heyang passed the ball to Cui Zhen, and Cui Zhen turned around and took the ball forward. When he easily passed Hernandez who was rushing forward to fight, the Huaxia fans in the stands were even more excited!
That's it!They want to come to Cui Zhen because he has the ability to break through the opponent's defenses.Then send the ball into the opponent's goal.

But when Cui Zhen came to the front waistline, his expression became very solemn.

Standing in his way is midfielder Dos Santos.Behind Dos Santos are Guardado and Corona on both sides, and from the right side of Cui Zhen, there is also Fabian to press.

Breaking forward, Cui Zhen knew that he would fall into a tight defense. If he didn't move forward, the pressing from the side would also make him passive when facing Dos Santos.

352, Mexico played a formation that is actually not mainstream.

In fact, how the Mexican team restricted the Huaxia team, the coaching team adopted Hernandez's suggestion!
Because Hernandez and Cui Zhen have fought against each other, Hernandez's suggestion is the real valuable experience compared to observing and analyzing opponents through video.

Looking at the Huaxia team, Cui Zhen must be the biggest threat, and then what?

have no idea!Yes, other points cannot be said to be taken seriously, but the Mexican team is confident that they will never lose to the other points of the Huaxia team one-on-one.

But what about Cui Zhen?It is difficult to quantify how much Cui Zhen's threat is.

Therefore, the Mexican team weakened the back line and strengthened the midfield defense. At the same time, the defensive strategy of the game also focused on containing Cui Zhen!
There are five people in the midfield, and at least four people must play a role in defense, forming a cage to trap Cui Zhen!

This is already a very high standard of treatment.

In other words, if Cui Zhen can attract the attention of the opponent's four defensive players and restrain the opponent's main defensive force.

Then in the offense, the numerical advantage that the other points of the Huaxia team can form will be huge.

However, Mexico has far more experience than the Huaxia team!

Does the Huaxia team dare to give it a go in the World Cup?

Do not!
Knowing this, the Mexican team dared to use a large force to contain Cui Zhen, and then took the risk of exposing the defensive space elsewhere.

Cui Zhen didn't charge hard, Mexico came prepared, and he paid more attention to driving the rhythm of the team just at the beginning.

So Cui Zhen passed the ball to the right, and Wu Kai'an dribbled the ball towards the Mexican penalty area when there was an obvious space. However, dribbling is not his specialty. The ball was crossed, intending to create a chance for Lei Heyang.

Defender Reyes stepped up at the right time and easily intercepted Wu Kai'an's unsurprising pass.After successfully stealing the ball, Reyes immediately passed the ball diagonally to the front of the left, Fabian ran forward, and dribbled the ball to the side when encountering Qi Feijie, forcing a successful breakthrough!
Then, in a 45-degree pass from the wing, forward Hernandez rushed forward to score the goal ahead of Zuo Zhanpeng, but unfortunately the football went wide!

"The Mexican team completed an attack just at the beginning of the game. Their attack was very decisive. The Huaxia team must beware of the opponent's continuous high-altitude bombing tactics."

When Cui Zhen returned to the midfield to support and then organized an attack, he found himself once again in a situation surrounded by all directions.

How dare Mexico do this!Even if they bear the risk of exposing a part of the defense line, they must absolutely trap Cui Zhen in the cage!

Cui Zhen crossed the ball to Qi Feijie who followed up in the back row when midfielder Dos Santos and Guardado were attacking back and forth. A through ball.

When Mexico's defense exposed obvious gaps, the Huaxia team could pass the ball smoothly to the teammates in the frontcourt without careful consideration and a broad view of the overall situation.

But the ensuing problem is that under the two options of crossing and personal breakthrough, the wide players of the Huaxia team cannot play very good results no matter which one they choose!

Reyes stared at Lei Heyang, and the pass was inefficient!
Lei Zhenxing can't break through Moreno, and Wu Kai'an can't break through Salcedo!

Cui Zhen could hardly find space to follow up in the back row, unless he ran to the side, otherwise he would always be in a large semi-circular encirclement of at least 4 people!
Mexico, with World Cup experience, prepared well for this game. They grasped the strengths of both the enemy and the enemy and the strengths and weaknesses of individual players extremely accurately!

Now it's as if Cui Zhen's wings have been cut off and he can't fly, his legs are dragged down and he can't run, and sometimes he seems to be blindfolded, and he can't see the line to pass the ball to his teammates!
When the Huaxia team competed in the World Cup, they still did not adapt to this stage.There are so many masters here, even if they are not the world's top traditional teams, they still have their own characteristics and profound technical and tactical strength.

In comparison, the Huaxia team is like a child who has not grown up, naively imagining that they can defeat their opponents with some illusory factors.

Unless Cui Zhen returns to the midfield to support in the game, it will be difficult for him to get the ball.If he is waiting for the delivery from his teammates in the midfield and backcourt, then the question is: Can the teammates accurately deliver the ball to his feet?

Hard!

And if Cui Zhen retreats to the midfield to respond, the problem will be clear at a glance.He plays the role of the organizer, Lei Heyang, Lei Zhenxing, Wu Kai'an, it is difficult to create difficulties for the opponent in rushing and finishing.

If Cui Zhen plays the role of an attacker, he faces a tight encirclement of the opponent, which will inevitably slow down his speed and also have a high risk of losing the ball.

And if Cui Zhen directly attacked the front line, there would be no problem, because it would be a futile attack, and the attack would not be able to advance to the front line!
To organize, to advance, to end.

Three different tasks. During the past two years at Manchester United, Cui Zhen has changed from the initial role of organizer to the frequent switching between these three. two roles.

Organize and advance together, or advance and end together!
But in the Huaxia team, it was impossible for him to switch back and forth between these roles, and even taking care of them became difficult.

Because the Huaxia team has no Lingard, no Lukaku, and no Pogba with midfielder attributes.

An overall technical and tactical change is based on the characteristics of each player in the team.

The operation of the Huaxia team is actually very smooth.It's just that he can't play a threat on the front line.It is difficult to form an efficient shot within the thirty yards in front of the goal.

Cui Zhen tried a long shot and flew out of the stands. He delivered shells to Qi Feijie, but Qi Feijie didn't dare to rush into the penalty area. He only dared to shoot long shots from the outside, which could not test the Mexican goalkeeper at all.

On the other hand, the Mexican team frequently used the sideways after the offensive and defensive transitions to make quick raids to create opportunities for the striker.

The two wide players of the Mexican team, Fabian and H. Herrera, are both small and fast players, but their bodies are not thin, and their feet are fast and agile.

After they advanced from the wing, they used crosses as a means to create opportunities for the forwards. If the Huaxia team's back line only relied on Zhang Chuan and Zuo Zhanpeng, it would be difficult to contain the opponent's double forwards. More often, Ma Ziqian retreated. The back line increases the number of defenders, plus its own confrontational advantages and tall stature to defend against the air.

Just when all the audience thought that the situation was relatively stalemate, the Mexican team once again instigated a regular attack in the 34th minute of the game.

H. Herrera left Lei Zhenxing on the right and went to the bottom line. The Huaxia team's defense immediately retreated, fearing that H. Herrera would make a 45-degree cross from the side. In that case.It will give the forward space to charge forward, which is more conducive to the forward's header.

When H. Herrera came to the front edge of the penalty area, he did not challenge Zheng Yubo, but directly passed the ball across!This pass surprised the Huaxia team's defense. It may be that they have been hit by the opponent's high-altitude pass too many times, and they have become accustomed to it.

The forward midfielder Dos Santos is actually a big man over 1.8 meters. After he squeezed away Qi Feijie, he stopped the ball on the penalty area line and made adjustments, and then suddenly blasted a shot in a relatively relaxed environment!
The football rolled obliquely into the penalty area and passed through the air between Ma Ziqian and Zuo Zhanpeng. Lu Ziqiao immediately moved to the right side of the goal, and then made a flying save, reaching out to block the rolling football towards the goal, but he was too slow , or Dos Santos's shot angle is too tricky.

The football rolled into the goal from the bottom right corner of the goal!

The players from Mexico saw the team score and ran to celebrate frantically, while the players from the Huaxia team felt pressured and out of breath!

Lost the ball!
