All-around substitute

Chapter 68
In the first round of Group D of the Asian Youth Tournament, two games were played simultaneously. The National Youth Team defeated Thailand [-]-[-], and South Korea defeated Qatar [-]-[-] in the same group.South Korea's two goals were scored by headed striker Son Heung-min, and naturalized black striker Ahmed scored for Qatar.

In the contest, the two teams played very anxiously as the score showed. In the first half, the two sides scored 5-3, and each other had offense and defense.In the opening [-] minutes of the second half, Qatar used a counterattack to score the first goal. Three minutes later, the South Korean team played an exquisite cooperation on the wing.

Since then, the two sides have made no achievements until the last minute of regular time, when Qatar's midfielder Hassan made a pass error.Sun Xingmin seized the opportunity to blast a world wave in the upper right corner of the penalty area to help the South Korean team kill the opponent.

The South Korean team paid a lot of money to win Qatar. In the fierce battle of 10 minutes, the South Korean team got 11 yellow cards and [-] red card.The red card occurred in stoppage time. South Korean player Park Yoochun was shown a yellow card for delaying time. In the end, two yellow cards turned one red and he was sent off the field.Among the six yellow cards, the head coach Cui Zhiyong was given a yellow card warning because he complained to the fourth official that the stoppage time was too long. Five of the [-] starters got yellow cards. According to the rules, if they accumulate two yellow cards, they will be automatically suspended for one game. South Korea Therefore, the team has buried a huge hidden danger.

On the scoreboard of Group D, the Chinese team and South Korea have the same three points, occupying the first and second places in the group.Qatar and Thailand ranked third and fourth respectively.The Chinese team won the first place in the group due to its goal difference advantage, and it has also become the target of Qatar and the South Korean team.

Immediately after the game, Kerry called the coaching staff to analyze the video of the match between Qatar and South Korea. As for the celebration, it was over 10 minutes after the game.Kerry warned the players in the locker room that this is only the first game, and the real test is yet to come.

"What do you guys think?" After watching the video, Kerry glanced around and asked his coaching team.

The members of the coaching staff were all silent, and the only words that lingered in the assistant coach's mind during the whole game were "difficult to deal with".

"Jiang! Tell me your opinion!" Seeing that no one took the initiative to speak, Kerry called Jiang Chao to reply.

Kerry let Jiang Chao join the national youth coaching staff because of his ability to catch loopholes in the formation.In the game against Thailand, Jiang Chao was the first to notice the change of the Thai team. At this time, Kerry wanted to know what Jiang Chao found in the video.

Seeing Kerry calling himself, Jiang Chao stood up.To be honest, in the 10-minute video, Jiang Chao only found some minor problems. Undoubtedly, the match between Qatar and South Korea was a match of masters.

"Mr. Kerry! Looking at the whole game, whether it is Qatar or the South Korean team, their formations are kept very compact and there are no obvious loopholes. Their scoring time also proves this very well. Three goals and two goals One in the first 10 minutes of the second half, one near the end, and what they all have in common is taking advantage of the opponent's lack of concentration."

"Then what do you think we should do in the next game?" Rose asked.

"My suggestion is to focus on me and focus on defense! Confront them!"

"Huh? Keep talking!" Kerry nodded, motioning Jiang Chao to continue talking.

"After losing this game, Qatar's qualifying situation is severe, which will definitely affect their strategy for the next game. The reason why they are anxious about playing against the South Korean team has a lot to do with their mutual fear. Qatar will face a must in the next game. In the situation of scoring points, there will definitely be a focus on offense, so we will fight Qatar in a war of attrition, a guerrilla war! To wear down their offensive power, once the game drags on to the second half or even later, our opportunity will also come. "

"Not bad! I agree with Director Jiang's point of view. Now we are taking the initiative to qualify. Even if we lose this game, we still have a chance. Unlike Qatar, once they don't get points, the trip to Hanoi will be announced. It's over." Sun Xuhai analyzed from the points situation.

"War of attrition! Drag the word! Jiang! It seems that I was right to let you join the national youth coaching staff! Your idea is very good, and I agree with it!" Kerry gave Jiang Chao a thumbs up.

"Mr. Kerry, you are overrated. In fact, I didn't do anything." Jiang Chao said modestly.

"You have done a lot! My buddy!" Ross patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder and smiled.

"Everyone, just as Jiang said, they will do whatever it takes to get close to the gate of the Chinese team in order to survive Qatar. The next game will be very difficult. Once our defense line fails to withstand the opponent's attack, it is very likely that there will be a fire. Crash, the situation will become out of control!" Kerry also saw the crisis from Jiang Chao's words, if the Chinese team loses against Qatar, they must beat the South Korean team in the final round to get the right to qualify.

Fighting against South Korea is the last thing the coaching staff wants to see. Regardless of strength, "Korea-phobia" has always been a haze that is difficult to shake off in Chinese football. The role of psychological hints is sometimes more useful than technical tactics.

"However, opportunities and dangers always coexist! Qatar is strong, we knew this from the beginning, but this is not a reason for us to retreat! If defeating Qatar is the only condition for qualifying, I will always believe in my players! They I will definitely be able to withstand the pressure of Qatar and win the qualifying battle!" After Kerry finished speaking, he clenched his fists tightly.

After deciding on a strategy, the entire national youth coaching staff entered a state of overtime. Their issues focused on two issues, one how to consume and limit Qatar's offense, and two how the national youth team can attack when there is an offensive opportunity to...

……

"Dad! How is it? Isn't Vietnam beautiful? I didn't lie to you!" Zhu Jianguo's family came to the last stop of their trip to Southeast Asia, Hanoi, Vietnam.

"It's just as beautiful as you say! In my opinion, it's far worse than Western Guangdong!" Zhu Jianguo stretched out his hand and scratched Zhu Wanyu's nose.

"You will go out with your mother the day after tomorrow! I won't accompany you, I will go to a football game!"

"I'm going too! The family we agreed to come out to play, how can you be alone!" Zhu Wanyu said coquettishly, holding Zhu Jianguo's arm.

"Don't you like watching football? Why are you suddenly interested in football games!"

"I... because Hanoi National University is very beautiful! Besides, we are a family, we must stay together!"

"Okay! Let's go together!" Zhu Jianguo smiled dotingly and looked out the window.

According to Red Star's winter training plan, Zhu Jianguo should stay in the country at this time and lead the team to train.It was only because of a series of changes in Red Star that Zhu Jianguo was stranded in Southeast Asia and did not return to China.

It happened that the National Youth League was playing in Hanoi, and Zhu Jianguo wanted to take this opportunity to see Xu Zangyi.
