As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.

"Do you see what's over there?"

Chen Jingang followed Zeng Zheng's finger and asked, "Camera?"

"Yes, this is the Asian Youth Championship after all, and there are still on-site cameras."

"Coach Zeng, what do you mean?"

"I'm not interested." Zeng Zheng shook his head, "I heard that this Asian Youth Championship will be broadcast live in China, and there will be two commentators."

"Live broadcast? Good guy..." Chen Jinggang also understood at this moment, "We may not even have a recording and broadcast."

After the game started, neither side had any intention of competing for the ball.

As soon as the team gets the ball, they attack the opponent's half; after the attack fails, they return to their own half and the defensive players counterattack.

The two sides come and go, just like a turn-based game.

"No. 6, No. 9, No. 11, No. 13..." Chen Jingang looked at the list of Little Days for a while, "Coach Zeng, you almost guessed all the lineup of Little Days correctly again."

Zeng Zheng was not very proud.

This matter is similar to both sides.

As long as there are no surprise soldiers, it will be the same group of people coming and going.

Soon, Xiaoli's first wave of threatening attacks came out.

Taking advantage of a free kick less than two meters in front of the penalty area, Xiaotian took a direct shot.

The ball hit the crossbar at the far end of Liu Yunfei's position and bounced off the baseline.

"Ah, this ball is too dangerous."

The sound of impact from the beam shocked Chen Jingang and others.

"Coach Zeng, that No. 4 free kick is so good! We can't give free kicks easily again in the future!"

"The ball just hit was dangerous, but what we really need to pay attention to in my little days is not No. 4!"

Zeng Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Look, if No. 13 hadn't broken through with the ball just now, we wouldn't have been able to foul him and give him a free kick at this position."

"No. 13..." Chen Jinggang lowered his head and looked through the Japanese team's Chinese roster.

"No. 13, Shinji Ono, graduated from high school last year and currently plays for Urawa Reds of the J-League."

"The Urawa Ruby is on the same level as A-A."

After hearing this, Chen Jingang put down the list and laughed sarcastically: "Coach Zeng has a really good brain. When I was young, the names were too long, so I couldn't remember these things..."

Ignoring Chen Jingang's compliment, Zeng Zheng continued, "I also played 442 when I was young, but it's a little different from us."

"We are in a parallel position in the midfield, and their four midfielders are in a diamond position."

"No. 13 Shinji Ono is not only responsible for organizing the midfield and connecting the front and backcourt. He is also the main offensive scorer on the court at critical moments and is the third forward on the court."

"Look, he was also in front of the ball when the free kick was taken. This shows that he has very good footwork and has the right to fire the free kick."

"When we defend, we can't just guard the two forwards on the opposite side. If we miss him."

“I don’t know how many goals I missed!”

Zeng Zheng said while Chen Jingang nodded.

The style of play in this era is also very stylish.

Whether it is 352 or 442, when I was young, I liked to use an attacking midfielder as an invisible forward and then sneak attack on the opponent on the court.

One reason for doing this is that it is concealed and can sometimes catch the opponent by surprise;

The second reason is that the personal ability of the forwards in Xiaoli is not very strong. Even if they directly form a 3-forward formation, the offensive ability will not be improved much.

Generally speaking, the young players in the late 1990s not only had not yet developed their skills, but their bodies were not fully developed either.

It is perfect to use this formation with sneak attack capability.

"I didn't expect they had such a killer move in their formation." Chen Jinggang suddenly realized.

"Shinji Ono must pay attention to that."

Zeng Zheng continued, "I remember that the person named Hidetoshi Nakata participated in the last Olympics, right?"

"In other words, if he is not injured in the next Olympics, Troussier will probably build a team with him as the core."

Everything was just as Zeng Zheng guessed.

In the case of Troussier, Japan, Japan, and Japan, Shinji Ono is indeed the core of Xiaoli.

All offensive balls passed to the frontcourt will pass under the feet of Shinji Ono, and then they will be passed to the feet of the forward, or they will directly form a shot.

The Chinese Youth Team strictly followed Zeng Zheng's instructions and played defensive counterattack in the backcourt.

Even if the opponent is a teammate like Xiaori who does not have an advantage in height or speed, the Chinese Youth Team will not deliberately seek to control the ball.

Under Zeng Zheng's slogan of "attack when you have the opportunity, and return to defense immediately if you don't score", the game lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the China Youth Team finally seized a counterattack opportunity.

Riqing made a long pass and dropped the ball into the penalty area of ​​the China Youth Team.

Wang Xiao jumped up high and headed the ball directly to the top of the gourd.

Xu Yunlong, who was retreating to catch the ball, gave Zheng Zhi a slight push on the wing and safely diverted the ball to the side.

After getting the ball, Zheng Zhi did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Zhao Junzhe who came in front to receive the ball.

The Liaozu youngster took two steps forward with the ball, attracting more defenders.

It's about to cross the center line.

Zhao Junzhe looked up, suddenly raised his right leg, and made a long pass toward Xiaori's penalty area.

This long pass from the center caught the defense off guard.

Shen Han from the right wing jumped in at high speed, while defender Tejima Kazuki was obviously unaware that an opponent was already behind him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when his opponent misjudged the path of the ball and made a clearance, Shen Han, who was extremely fast, dunked the ball past the goalkeeper alone.

Facing the attacking Tatsuya Hashimoto, Shen Han calmly pushed the ball into the far corner and scored.

"Wow~~~"

The camera immediately focused on the only small group of Chinese fans in the stands.

These dozen fans sat together, and a red flag was spread out in the center.

Seeing Shen Han score a goal, everyone stood up excitedly and shouted the slogan "Come on Team China".

"The Chinese team scored a goal."

"The goal was scored by No. 10 Shen Han." The two commentators on Little Days were obviously a little disappointed when they said that the Chinese team scored the first goal.

"Yes, he quickly ran behind our defender."

"Tejima missed the ball very badly."

"He should be more decisive in his actions and not always make slow rescues like this."

"But the Chinese team's No. 9 cross is also very beautiful."

"His cross was well placed and landed just in front of our back line."

"Team Nissei, come on, we still have time!"

One goal ahead, Zeng Zheng just nodded slightly, it seemed that he had everything under control;

After falling behind by one goal, Troussier's expression on the other side didn't change much, and he seemed to have expected it.

Unlike those domestic coaches who were infected by Zeng Zheng, Troussier just stretched out his hand from his coat pocket, called the numbers of several players, and gave some simple instructions.

He stood there again.

"Fake it, let's see how long you can keep it up!" Chen Jinggang complained in his heart.

"When we get to 4, you better still have this expression!"

However, the course of the competition did not develop in the direction Chen Jingang envisioned.

Xiaotian defended well after losing the ball, and the 1-0 score lasted until the end of the first half.

During halftime, the locker room was filled with laughter.

The players happily discussed the first half of the game.

Whenever I talk about which goal should be scored or not, I always feel regretful.

Seeing Zeng Zheng dripping eye drops, Li Hui said curiously:

"Xiao Zeng, what's wrong with you?"

“The right eye keeps twitching, maybe it’s because the sand has blinded it!”
