Chapter 113 Semifinal opponent

When the Chinese team and Australia were fighting for penalty kicks, South Korea eliminated Uzbekistan 2-0 with two goals from Sun Xingmin in overtime and entered the semi-finals first.

On the afternoon of January 1, at 23:17, Sydney, ANZ Stadium.

Here is another quarter-final match between Japan and the United Arab Emirates.

The winner of these two teams will meet the Chinese team in the semi-finals.

Everyone sits in the lobby and watches the game.

Zheng Zhi and Ye Tian sat together, in the first row.

After so many games, the whole team has already recognized Ye Tian, ​​and has a faint intention to use him as the core of the attack.

And Zheng Zhi's attitude was expressed very clearly.

"How? Which team do you like?"

"No matter which team it is, it's not easy for us to play against each other."

"It's okay, the soldiers are here to cover up the water and the soil. It is because we know that it is not easy to fight, so we are here to watch."

Ye Tian smiled, it was easy to say, but it can be seen from the last game that it is difficult for the Chinese team to compete against a technical team and a team with more physical advantages.

Among these two teams, the technology of the Japanese team is much higher than that of the Chinese team, and the body of the UAE is stronger than that of the Chinese team.

Not only that, but the technical and tactical level and overall awareness of the two teams are also stronger than the Chinese team.

Bad fight!
日本队排出了一个4-1-4-1的阵型，4后卫，1后腰，4前腰，1前锋。

Among their starting 11 players, only two are from the domestic J-League, and the rest are playing abroad.

Goalkeeper Yusuke Kawashima is in Liege, defender Nagatomo is in Serie A Inter Milan, Yoshida Maya is in Premier League Southampton, Sakai Kotoku is in Bundesliga Stuttgart, and also in Bundesliga Frankfurt are Hasebe Makoto and Miki Takashi. There are also Shinji Kagawa of Manchester United, Keisuke Honda of AC Milan, and Shinji Okazaki of Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga.

This group of people must have a far better understanding of the team's skills and tactics than the Chinese players, which prevents them from turning around when defending.

The UAE team, like the Chinese team, plays a 4-2-3-1 formation.

All the members of this team play in their own domestic league, and their head coach is also a native of their own country.This means that there will be no problems with communication.

In the team, everyone is tall and burly, and more importantly, in their starting lineup, there are 7 people from the same team.

This represents the unity and tacit understanding of consciousness.

Obviously, the overall strength of the Japanese team is stronger than their opponents, but the UAE must not be underestimated.

Not long after the start of the game, the Japanese team launched a tidal attack.

But it only blooms and does not bear fruit.

Instead, in the 7th minute, the opponent seized the opportunity and counterattacked, and the opponent's right front field scored a goal.

Seeing this ball, the entire Chinese team members were shocked.

With the same tactics, the opponent's counterattack actually succeeded?

we seem to be...

Immediately afterwards, the UAE entered a state of shrinkage.

All returned to their own half to defend.

Frequent fouls interrupted the Japanese team's offense.

After receiving two yellow cards and being frantically attacked by their opponents with 18 shots, they entered the half-time break with 1 goal advantage.

"Any ideas?"

"The Japanese team encountered the same problem as us. When faced with a defensive defense, they have no effective means of attack. I don't think it is necessary to stay in the opponent's half all the time. Instead, they can lure the opponent out."

"But the Japanese team is behind. If they throw the ball upside down in their own half and the opponent is passive and the game doesn't come up, it will be over."

"Increasing the ground ball, sometimes, deliberately leaking the ball to them?"

"..."

"Setting the ball! A sharp weapon that breaks the iron barrel! We have to practice!"

"The UAE used the foul very cleverly! It effectively prevented the Japanese team from advancing. If our opponent is the Japanese team, it must be like this. It's only two cards."

"If we are playing against the United Arab Emirates, we should add more long-range shots. They are too big. We can't stand in the penalty area after a few stops."

……

At the beginning of the second half, the Japanese team continued to strengthen their offense.

But still no improvement.

They start changing people.

The three substitution places were quickly used up.

The UAE also slowly replaced three places, intending to drag the game to death.

But in the 81st minute, the Japanese team played a tactical corner kick, and finally the player who came on in the second half sent the ball into the goal to equalize the score.

The game went into overtime.

In overtime, the United Arab Emirates still kept shrinking, and the Japanese team had no way to gnaw.

In the end, the game went to a penalty shootout.

The penalty shootout lasted 7 rounds before the winner was decided.

Keisuke Honda, who was the first Japanese team to play, missed a penalty, and the UAE's No.3 free thrower also missed a penalty, missing the chance to eliminate Japan.

Fortunately, Shinji Kagawa, a Japanese player who played in the seventh round, missed again.

The last player in the UAE withstood the pressure and sent the Japanese team home with a penalty kick.

The UAE has become the top four opponent of the Chinese team.

The match between the two sides will be held at the Newcastle International Sports Center in Newcastle, Australia at 1 pm local time on January 27.

……

That afternoon, after Perrin's training session ended, Ye Tian received a call from Pasindi.

"Oh my God, congratulations on making it to the semi-finals. You have already started to play the main force in the national team, what a shame."

"You already know, Miba is reimbursed for this season. But our signing plan is going well."

"It's Gilardino, who played in your China Evergrande, and now joins us on loan. I heard that he was going to Fiorentina, but later he refused to let him go, and he was only willing to give it to Carpi. I guess it must be because of you. "

"Huh? I don't know. No one ever mentioned such a thing to me."

Ye Tian was a little surprised.

President Xu?

"How are you guys? Is it bad to lose a game?"

The Serie B league has passed the winter break, and on January 1, they started the second round of confrontation.

Carpi played against Livorno at home and lost 1:2.

In this way, when Ye Tian was not around, they currently had 15 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 50 points.

It is still the top of the league table, but the point difference is not so big.

"Yes, yes, I'm just waiting for you to come back. However, I sincerely hope that you will come back after winning the championship. Don't worry, we won't lose again."

"Okay, I'm watching your performance. Say hello to everyone for me."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian smiled.

Now, I have been pushed out by various forces.

But don't worry, as long as I continue to be strong and win games, nothing can stop me!
Ye Tian opened the panel to check.
