Chapter 97
"Zhu Jianguo! Xu Zangyi is not the only Chinese star!"

Zhu Jianguo spent a lot of time only introducing Xu Zangyi, and had nothing to say to other players.Dou De is very dissatisfied with this, he asked you to come here to introduce the team, not a personal recommendation meeting.

"Not bad! Red Star still has many excellent players, such as Li Yong, Jia Sheng, Liu Haiming, Huang Tao, etc. It's a pity that I don't have time to dig out more or there will be more. The future work will have to rely on the new coach to continue."

As Zhu Jianguo said, he began to pack his things, turned off the interface and exited the USB flash drive, and pulled out the USB flash drive from the interface. Everything seemed to be a routine, without any personal feelings.

"Guide Zhu! You are also a veteran of the Red Star. Isn't it what you hoped that the Red Star will get better and better? Now that the new coach is in charge, I don't know everything about it. I just need your help. Let me tell you about the situation of other players!"

Huang Diyuan's face was not good-looking, but he still played the emotional card earnestly, hoping that Zhu Jianguo could help Iordenescu get to know familiar players.

"Mr. Huang! There is still one month before the start of the league, which is enough for Mr. Iordenescu to understand the situation of the team. To be honest, I can come here today entirely because of my feelings for Red Star for so many years."

What Zhu Jianguo said is true. China's top league will not officially start until March, and the second-tier league will be half a month later.If you can't practice tactics well in a month, you can still do it if you are familiar with the players. Zhu Jianguo doesn't think his skills can help Jordenescu. After all, the head coach's employment standards are different.For example, Iordenescu believes that Xu Zangyi has the ability to play in the first team, but his assistant Difu doesn't think so.

"Zhu Jianguo! It's your responsibility to cooperate with the new coach! If you don't tell me..."

"Deputy Manager Dou!"

Dou De wanted to hold onto Zhu Jianguo, but Huang Diyuan interrupted him sharply.Huang Diyuan knew that the sudden dismissal of Hongxing's old ministers for many years was somewhat of a disgrace.Since Zhu Jianguo was unwilling, Huang Diyuan couldn't force it.

"Director Zhu thanks you for your dedication to Red Star over the years, and I wish you great success in your new position!" Huang Diyuan walked up to Zhu Jianguo from his seat and stretched out his right hand.

"Thank you!" No matter how much Huang Diyuan was sincere at this time, Zhu Jianguo still expressed his gratitude to Huang Diyuan.

"I wish you all success in your work, Zhu will go first!" After shaking hands with Huang Diyuan, Zhu Jianguo turned and walked towards the door of the meeting room.

"Director Zhu! The door of China Red Star is always open to you!"

When Zhu Jianguo turned to go out, Huang Diyuan called to stop Zhu Jianguo.

Zhu Jianguo put his hand on the doorknob and paused for a moment. He finally opened the door of the conference room and walked out without saying a word.Perhaps at that moment, Zhu Jianguo's heart was moved. This kind of heart was not nostalgic for the position of head coach, but his feelings for Red Star over the years.

……

Xu Zangyi, who was far away in Hanoi, Vietnam, was completely unaware of Hongxing's big change of face.Concentrate on preparing for the knockout round two days later. At this stage of the Asian Youth Championship, every team has no secrets to speak of.

Especially the Chinese team, at the beginning of the Asian Youth Championship, may be deceived by the weak appearance of the national youth team (such as the Thai team), so they relax their vigilance.After defeating the South Korean team [-]-[-], no team that entered the knockout round would think that the Chinese team is an underdog.Iraq paid enough attention to the Chinese team, and prepared for the quarter-finals with the attitude of treating the world champions.

"Issam! Do you think your speed can stop the Chinese team's midfield advance?"

"Don't stop at your feet! Once you stop, you will give your opponent a chance to steal the ball!"

Shaker, the coach of the Iraqi national youth, kept roaring on the training ground.On the second day after qualifying for the group stage, Shaker pulled the team to the training ground and began to prepare for the knockout match with the Chinese team.

Last night, Shaker spent three hours watching the video of the match between the Chinese team and the South Korean team.Among them, the Chinese team's midfield advance left a deep impression on Shaker.In the end, he and the assistant coach reached the same conclusion that if they want to beat the Chinese team, they must limit the Chinese team's midfield.

For this reason, the focus of training on the first day, Shaker focused on how to limit the midfield of the Chinese team.Especially Xu Zangyi, who performed well, is a dangerous figure in Shaker's eyes, and he must be guarded by someone.Shaker handed over this task to midfielder Isam, but Isam's performance made Shaker a little disappointed.

"Issam! You have to know that defense is your main responsibility! Don't stick to the ball!" Shaker shouted again.

Hearing the shout, Isam reluctantly handed the ball to his teammate in front of him, and then stepped back a few meters.

Shaker let Issam play the defensive midfielder, and Tam didn't seem particularly comfortable.Compared to concentrating on defense in the backcourt, he prefers to drive the ball into the opponent's half to fight.He likes the feeling of being extraordinary, especially the panicked look of the defensive players after entering the penalty area, which makes him extremely excited.

It's just that Shaker's arrangement made Isam very puzzled. His own attack has always been an important offensive method for the team.In the last group match, it was by relying on its own back row to disrupt the UAE team's defensive arrangement that the striker had the opportunity to send the ball into the goal. Iraq also reversed the UAE and qualified for the knockout round.

Now, because he is afraid of the Chinese team's midfield advancement, he gave up such an important offensive method to target an unknown Chinese player, which makes Isam unable to understand anyway.

"Issam! You should move forward after the pass! Not back!" Shaker yelled again.

"I'm done! Mr. Shaker!" Issam finally broke out, and was stopped by Shaker again and again, which made him a powder keg that was about to explode at any time.Shaker's angry shout this time completely ignited him.

"Issam! You know what you are doing!" Shaker was a little shocked, the disciple dared to shout at him in public like this.

"Issam! Calm down! Hurry up and apologize to Shaker!" Issam's sudden outburst startled his teammates, and he hurried over to persuade him.

"Of course I know what I'm doing! I don't like this way of playing football, you should be very clear about this!" Issam ignored his teammates. At this time, he had lost his thinking and just vented his dissatisfaction.

"Everyone has their own way of playing football. No one wants to do what they don't like, but this is a football game! Someone needs to sacrifice! If you don't understand, there is no way to be a good player!" Shaker despite Angry, but he didn't lose his mind and was still reasoning with Issam.

"Mr. Shaker! I'm sorry I can't do your sacrifice!"

"Can't do it? If you can't do it, I will let someone who can do it! From this moment on, you are no longer a member of the Iraqi National Youth! Pack up your things and prepare to go back to Gaghad!" Isam's answer made Shaker Losing patience, Isamta fired the National Youth League on the spot.

"Shaker!" Seeing that the situation was out of control, it is a taboo for military strategists to lose a general before the battle, the assistant coach hastily persuaded.

"Stop talking! My team doesn't need individual players!" Shaker was furious and waved his hands to stop his assistant from persuading him.

"Issam! Calm down! Mta!"

Seeing this surge of enthusiasm, Issam took off the yellow vest that symbolizes the main force and put it heavily on the ground, then walked outside the training ground.The teammates tried to stop him but failed, so they could only let Yisam go.

"Kazim! Put on the yellow vest and replace Issam! Continue training!" Shaker did not stop Issam from leaving, but called a player in the blue vest to take over for Issam s position.

……

In another venue, the preparations for the Chinese team are in full swing.After an exciting night, the National Youth Team has re-entered the fighting state. Every player knows very well that the elimination of Iraq means that the Chinese team is back after three years of absence from the World Youth Championship.Therefore, the teenagers of Guoqing are holding back their energy.

"Xu! Go to the side more often! Avoid intercepting in the middle!"

"Pay attention to fill the gap in the middle!"

Kerry stood on the sidelines, constantly directing the movement of the players on the field.

The National Youth players carried out offensive cooperation as promised, but the scene seemed a bit chaotic, with frequent small mistakes in passing and coordination.

If you look carefully, you will find that the main team is slightly different from before. Although they still play in the 4231 formation, the positions and players of the players have changed a lot.

The first is Xu Zangyi's movement route. In the previous games, Xu Zangyi was more active in the middle.In today's training, Kerry asked Xu Zangyi to develop on the side and avoid the defense in the middle.

Secondly, Liu Bing on the left is not on the main team, and Zheng Dalun is replacing Liu Bing in the main lineup.Although he appeared on the left side, Zheng Dalun will move to the midfielder position in the middle during training.And the other midfielder Xu Xin will move forward to fill the gap left by Xu Zangyi's move to the side.

Finally, in terms of the overall offensive direction, the previous games of the National Youth League were mainly based on penetration and advancement in the center combined with side assaults, but today they focused on attacking the two sides.

These few changes of Kerry are based on the double midfielder tactics adopted by Iraq after watching the video of Iraq's three group matches.

In the previous group stage, although Iraq conceded 4 goals, including two free kicks and two headers conceded after passing from the wing, the opponent has not benefited from a frontal breakthrough.Iraq's two defensive midfielders, Issam and Bayek, are extremely capable of intercepting from the front.

Based on the tactical characteristics of Iraq, Kerry hopes that when the Chinese team plays against Iraq, they will give full play to the characteristics of the wing, avoid too much entanglement with Iraq in the middle, and attack the wing as much as the Vietnam team scored an equalizer. .After all, half of the four goals conceded were crosses from the side, which fully shows that there are big problems in Iraq's side defense.

A team's ills are not so easy to change, and Kerry believes that Shaker's team will not fix all the problems in a few days.

Why not use the wing assaulter Liu Bing to play the main side, and instead move Xu Zangyi to fill the side?Kerry's arrangement is in consideration of the Iraqi flank attack.

Among several key players in Iraq, Iraqi No. 19 Nasat is undoubtedly the most dangerous figure.The star, who has been selected for the Iraqi Olympic team, did not start in the first two games, but he performed very well in the first battle against the UAE. He basically abused the UAE's right side.

The other two offensive points of the Iraqi team are No. 9 Razazi and No. 7 Ahmed. The former has excellent ball control, speed and body, and is one of the offensive points that Iraq relies on.Although the latter Emed does not have the speed and body of Lazazi, his running is more free and active, and he often appears in different areas on the field, which makes people have to guard against it.

Kerry hopes that through Xu Zangyi's excellent ball-handling skills, he can suppress the Iraqi core Nasat.On the other side, Zheng Dalun needs to provide support to Li Yuanyi at any time. As far as the current situation is concerned, Li Yuanyi is not enough to suppress Emad.

In addition to the two flank attacks, the sudden advance of Iraqi midfielder Issam also attracted Kerry's attention.For this reason, Kerry asked Xu Xin to move forward, so that the national youth midfielder could limit Isam in the first place.

With the targeted deployment, the current problem is that after the National Youth team changed their style of play, they seem to lack tacit understanding. This problem made Rose retreat.

"Kerry! My buddy, I think you should think again! After all, we played a beautiful offense in the group stage! It's too risky to change the offensive method rashly!"

After another mistake in the national youth cooperation, Rose couldn't help but speak out his inner thoughts.

"Ross! Sometimes unexpected changes can achieve great results! We should try boldly!"

"But our original style of play has achieved amazing results in the group stage, I think it's better to be cautious!"

"Yes! You are right! Our midfield combination has been very good in the previous games, but at the same time you can also see whether it is Thailand, Qatar or South Korea, they have not had any substantial impact on our midfield. Restrictions. The Thai team underestimated the enemy and went deep. Qatar was afraid of our midfielder's attack power and chose to deflect. The South Korean team even sent a substitute. Unlike Iraq, the Iraqi team is very disciplined and has the same European teams. Rigorous. After the trauma of the war, their mental strength is stronger. They will always maintain a high will to fight, and they will not collapse under high pressure like the Thai and South Korean teams. This is very worthy of attention opponents, so we can no longer use the previous method to deal with Iraq!"

Kerry used a long paragraph to explain to Ross his thinking on using troops.

"Okay! I agree with your idea, but you must also pay attention to the current situation. If you don't play the offensive coordination you want, you must have a corresponding record." Although Rose agreed with Kerry's military strategy, he still reserved his opinion .

"There are still two days left, I believe the children can do it. Rose! You should have confidence in them!"

Kerry patted Rose on the shoulder, picked up the whistle in his hand and walked into the arena.
