Chapter 36 The Achilles' heel
The last group match of the Chinese World Youth Team started. After the match started, Wang Qi and the others realized that the opponent's players were all tall. Although they were not as strong as the Uzbekistan team, they were stronger.

"No wonder the Saudi team can make the Uzbekistan team not take advantage. If this is the case, we should reorganize the attack..." Dynasty saw that the players in front were guarded and passed the ball back.

When the Dynasty passed the ball to Hao Chengdong, three Saudi members immediately surrounded him. Seeing that the three Saudis surrounded him, Hao Chengdong didn’t panic. Instead of passing the ball, he ran to the backcourt with the ball. This move made the members of Saudi Arabia look at the midfielder Sham for a moment.

Sham signaled to go back to the defensive position and not to follow. Hao Chengdong saw that the three defending members did not pursue him, so he gave a thumbs up to Wang Qi in the frontcourt.

It turned out that when replaying the game yesterday, seeing the Saudi team's defense, even He Yihang had no way to do it for the time being, and even had an impulsive use of unfinished off-the-ball running tactics.

However, this kind of defense that caused headaches for other countries in Asia at that time, and only relied on overall strength to win, this kind of loophole had been found long ago in Wang Qi's era.

When He Yihang was going to take the high ball and play set-piece tactics, Wang Qi stood up and said: "Coach, this chain defense is not without weaknesses!" "

When Wang Qi said this, everyone in the room was shocked. If it weren't for Wang Qi's perfect off-ball running, all the World Youth Team members would not believe it at all.

He Yihang and Wang Hang stared at Wang Qi with bright eyes and said, "Tell me, you must know that their Saudi national team's style of play can make other Asian countries hard to break..."

Wang Qi played the video again and said: "Maybe you are only thinking about how to break through, but you didn't think about retreating..."

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Sun Xiang said disdainfully: "I thought it was a brilliant move, don't you know that this is exactly what they want, the Saudi team just wants you to pass the ball to the backcourt and then they will attack..."

"Yeah, Wang Qi, Saudi Arabia just doesn't have a good striker, otherwise they wouldn't be able to break through the world group stage, but their defense is indeed very good, unless your overall strength is higher than theirs..." Zhang Yu continued .

Wang Qi smiled slightly. At that time, the Saudi team's defense had long been useless. It can even be said that since the Saudi team found a way, the Saudi team has missed the spot for the top Asian teams.

"In fact, the chain defense is not so without weaknesses. Maybe you haven't noticed that their defenses have a range and a position. What they defend is actually not the ball but people. As long as you step out of their range, they don't care. Will be following you, because if they are following you, they will overlap with another group of defenders, so they are not actually following the ball!"

After hearing Wang Qi's words, many players suddenly realized, but they quickly reflected and said, "Isn't this what makes them so good?"

Wang Qi shook his head. Players of this era have not realized that this defense has a fatal flaw. It was not until the 2002 World Cup that Saudi Arabia was defeated by Germany 8:0. All the people discovered that the defense that Saudi Arabia is most proud of has How fatal.

"All you think about is passing the ball. The reason why Saudi Arabia puts so much pressure on you is mainly because you feel that there are people defending on three sides. You can only keep passing the ball backwards, but you can't pass the ball to the frontcourt for a long time. , Under their defensive pressure, even when they are evenly matched, there will be pressure, and they will find opportunities to score in the end, but have you seen what European teams do when they face them?"

Hearing what Wang Qi meant, Ouyang Bing said, "You mean personal ability?"

As far as personal ability is concerned, it is indeed possible, but the current World Youth Team is simply inferior to them.

Wang Qi nodded and shook his head and said, "Almost, in fact, their defense has a fatal weakness, that is, they don't defend your back..."

"What kind of fatal weakness is this? It's always like this. Does it mean that there is something to defend in the future?" Sun Xiang asked even more disdainfully.

"That's right, you don't need to defend from behind, so you don't have to pass the ball?" Wang Qi asked back.

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Sun Xiang said dissatisfied: "Can I still break through from behind?"

After Sun Xiang finished speaking, he was stunned, and everyone else was also stunned. Did He Yihang and Wang Hang immediately grab the remote control and replay the match scene in Saudi Arabia?

"That's right, it's breaking through from behind. There's a good saying, take a step back, and the sky is brighter. Why don't you take the ball and go around from behind? Why do you have to pass the ball?" Wang Qi said slowly.

"But even so, they will follow, right?" He Yihang asked uncertainly.

Wang Qi confidently walked to the TV, pointed to several ranges in the midfield and the front court and said, if you push here, the defenders in the midfield will not follow you, because this is the defensive range of the front court.

"Bad space?" Wang Hang asked.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Not only that, the reason why the Saudi team is so strong, you think they are very aggressive, is because they are pressing step by step, pressing slowly, and all the players slowly come to the frontcourt , but you can see that if they don’t pass the ball back, they won’t follow up at all, because there are only three of them, and they can’t form an attack at all. They will only start their attack when most people come in slowly... ..."

"Amazing, amazing, this really gives us a chance..." He Yihang said while staring at the TV.

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "If this is the case, it is not a fatal weakness. Because of this, their chain defense tactics will have a bigger loophole, and this loophole will be fatal!"

The Saudi team saw on the field that as long as the players of the Chinese team encountered the defense, they would dribble the ball backwards and not pass the ball at all. The respective defensive areas will no longer follow.

The audience on the field also noticed this phenomenon, that is, although the Saudi team's defense was very successful, although the Chinese World Youth Team could not break through the midfield, the ball was in the hands of the Chinese World Youth Team.

"This is a very miraculous phenomenon. We all know that other teams in Asia are very defensive against Saudi Arabia, but our team seems to be very relaxed? Am I right, Mr. Jiang Lihai?" Sun Dong also had some asked uncertainly.

It's a pity that Jiang Lihai couldn't answer, or he didn't have time to watch at all, but stared at the scene on the field. Suddenly, Jiang Lihai took out his mobile phone and couldn't wait to call the current national team coach Milu. Called.

Milu was very surprised that Jiang Lihai called him at this time, shouldn't Jiang Lihai be commenting on a World Youth Championship match at this time.

"Hi, hello Jiang, is the game over?" Milu asked strangely.

"It's not Coach Milu, I want you to put down everything in your hands and turn on the TV to watch the match of our World Youth Team!"

Hearing Jiang Lihai's words, Milu showed a puzzled expression and said, "Jiang, have you found a good player?"

"No, Coach Milu, turn on the TV quickly. I can't tell, but this might be a tactic to break the Saudi team's defense!"

During the phone call, Jiang Lihai quickly said to Milu with excitement, suspicion and other emotions. Hearing what his favorite disciple said, Milu was also surprised. Although the Saudi team is not a strong team, it is also a top team in Asia, especially It is the solid chain defense that the Chinese team must solve to enter the World Cup this time.

In Milu's tactics, the Chinese team still has no good way to deal with the Saudi team, but now he actually heard Jiang Lihai tell him that there is a way to deal with the World Youth Championship on the phone.

Milu knew that Jiang Lihai's character was for the boss and he was able to call him during the live broadcast. It was obvious that he had made a major discovery, so Milu turned on the TV immediately.

When Milu turned on the TV, he just heard Sun Dong say inconceivably that 1:0, China scored a goal, and Zhang Yu scored the goal, unbelievable, unbelievable..."

Having lived in China for several years, Milu can understand Chinese, of course, what interests him now is the unthinkable...
