All-around substitute

Chapter 122 Evolution
After the controversial opening ceremony, the Chinese and Vietnamese sides chose sides and waited for the referee's whistle.

In this game, Kerry played a 4141 formation. This is the first time that Kerry has changed his starting formation since participating in the Asian Youth Championship. Before that, he adjusted the position of personnel according to the situation on the court.For example, Xu Zangyi moved from the back to the premise, from the center to the side, and Li Yuanyi changed from the side to the center.Every position adjustment has achieved good results. It is still unknown whether this change can achieve the expected effect.

Compared with 4231's offensive and defensive balance, 4141 is more offensive.Add an avant-garde or midfielder to expand the number of offensive players in the frontcourt and achieve the goal of scoring goals.Similarly, increasing offensive personnel in the frontcourt also means the loss of defensive strength in the backcourt.Once the single defensive midfielder fails to intercept, the back line will directly face the impact of the opponent's forward.The price is also extremely heavy, which verifies the phrase "opportunities and risks often coexist".

The reason why Kerry is so risky is that considering the advantage of the host country of the Vietnamese team and their tactics of lying on the grass, they hope to take the initiative in the game with active offense, and the sooner they score the better, the delay is not a good thing for the Chinese team.

In addition to formation changes, Kerry also made changes in personnel to match the offense.First of all, Jin Jingdao was removed from the starting lineup, and Kerry, the single midfielder in 4141, trusted Xu Xin more.Of course, this is not because of prejudice brought by overseas or domestic, but their characteristics determine their position.

Jin Jingdao is able to fight well, covers a large area, and has strong physical fitness. He seems to be very suitable for the role of a single midfielder in 4141.However, Jin Jingdao was weak with the ball and had a narrow view of the overall situation. After breaking the ball, he could not send a threatening pass, thus missing the opportunity.Jin Jingdao would be a very good assistant if it is a double midfielder, but it is very difficult to let him play the leading role alone.

Although Xu Xin is not as good at running as Jin Jingdao, he has a very good sense of blocking and blocking. If Jin Jingdao is a sharp-edged predator, then Xu Xin is a resourceful and elegant general who defuses the opponent's attack by predicting the blocking position in advance.More importantly, Xu Xin has the awareness and footwork to attack, which is what Kerry needs. Under the background of emphasizing offense, Xu Xin is undoubtedly more suitable than Jin Jingdao.Of course, if the national youth can gain a certain score advantage in the first half, Kerry can completely replace Jin Jingdao in the second half to strengthen the defense.

Secondly, a new face appeared on the starting lineup of the National Youth League. The overseas player Zhang Suwei who replaced Jin Jingdao on the starting list will join hands with Xu Zangyi as the front midfielder of the National Youth League.

Zhang Suwei played for the Ligue 10 Lille youth team as a midfielder. Like many overseas players, Zhang Suwei did not have many opportunities to play decently in the youth team.Most of the time it's only after [-] minutes, sometimes not even.But in the only opportunity, Zhang Suwei's performance was mediocre and nothing outstanding.

The reason why Zhang Suwei was able to be selected for the national youth team was entirely due to the fame he had accumulated in the southwest of his hometown before he went abroad. His coquettish and fatal kick is still talked about by people in his hometown.In the past few days of training, Zhang Suwei occasionally showed his former style, but most of the time it was flat.Kerry has a decent attacking midfielder, Zhang Suwei ranks first. (Strictly speaking, Xu Zangyi's midfielder is not simple) but Kerry has no choice but to push Zhang Suwei up, hoping that he will have a flash of inspiration and send a deadly pass.

In the end, Zhao Zihao returned to the starting lineup. He played well in the first two games of the group stage. If Kerry hadn't given Wang Shangyuan the opportunity to prove himself again, no one could shake Zhao Zihao's main forward position.

Of course, Wang Shangyuan's performance is also commendable. He contributed a pass against South Korea and completed the task against Iraq.But also in the game in Iraq, Wang Shangyuan's state declined significantly, the number of cooperation with his teammates decreased, and he played alone more frequently.Although Kerry emphasizes the ability of individual combat, the premise of this individual combat is to cooperate with teammates in small teams.The state has declined and the level of cooperation with teammates is not enough. It is reasonable to be taken down by Kerry.

The other positions remain unchanged. The left and right forwards are Liu Bing and Li Yuanyi, and the defenders are still familiar Wang Tong, Micro Motion, Huang Zhengyu, and Deng Hanwen.

Hu Zhaomin from Vietnam played a stable 442, echoing the 4141 of China National Youth.In terms of formation, the Vietnamese team can't find any faults. The 442 they deployed can both attack and defend, with a degree of relaxation. It is a panacea-style formation.At the same time, Chen Zhiming and Ruan Chengyu, who Xu Zangyi focused on, were also listed.

Watching the match between the Vietnam team and the South Korea team before, the national youth players had a more detailed understanding of the Vietnam team players under Xu Zangyi's explanation.As soon as the Vietnamese team's starting lineup came out, the national youth players in each position could tell the technical characteristics and even the quirks of the Vietnamese players in the corresponding position, it is so familiar!
Compared with Vietnamese players, it is different. Not to mention the eccentric movements of Chinese players, even the technical characteristics are not clear.The lineup is also half-knowledgeable...

"Chinese team? Not 4231!"

"The Chinese team has changed!"

"Changed...changed formation...should be no problem!"

The Vietnamese players who were standing in a fixed position discovered that the Chinese National Youth players were not in the 4231 they were familiar with.After all, in the training a few days ago, I used the original formation of the Chinese team to prepare for the game. Things that I was familiar with suddenly became unfamiliar. It would be a lie to say that I am not flustered.

"4141! Is it to grab the start?"

Hu Zhaomin rubbed his chin and thought to himself. In the past few days, Hu Zhaomin has analyzed the specific style of play of the Chinese team through the game video.Compared with other teams' strikers, Hu Zhaomin was impressed by the Chinese team's midfielder. With skilled coordination and flexible position changes, the opponents were hard to defend against.

For this reason, Hu Zhaomin set 442 to restrain the midfield attack of the Chinese team.No matter how the Chinese team changes positions, the Vietnamese team can guarantee at least one player who can mark the Chinese team players.But now the Chinese team has changed to 4141 and added a frontcourt attacker, which means that the Chinese team has a little more uncertainty when attacking.

Although Hu Zhaomin said that the Vietnamese team can beat the Chinese team, he was full of disdain for the Chinese team in his words.However, in terms of formation layout, great attention was paid to it, and Hu Zhaomin felt a little overwhelmed by a small change.

"I can only watch it! Fortunately, 442 can deal with it for a while!" Hu Zhaomin couldn't figure out what the intention of the Chinese team's change was, and comforted himself in his heart.

……

"CCTV! CCTV! With the whistle of the referee, the semi-final match between the Chinese team and the host Vietnam team in the Vietnam Asian Youth Championship has officially started! In the first half, Vietnam kicked off first..."
