At 23:00 on September 7th, Beijing time, the national football team will usher in the second opponent of the World Cup Asian Finals 12 in Doha, Qatar, the Japanese team.
For the national football team, which suffered a "misappraisal of the situation" in the first game, the Australian team was "in the head". The most important significance of this game is not to "grab points", but to get the team back to the top 12 through correct tactical thinking. The normal track-Australia and Japan are the two highest-ranked teams in the world in this group. They are also the teams in this group that have entered the World Cup finals the most times. The result of the loss is not unexpected. What surprised the fans was the national football team. The first battle was as bad as the "self-abolition of martial arts".
Four days have passed since the match against the Australian team, and the national football players have already calmed down and waited for the next game to come.
In an interview with reporters from the front in Doha, the national football team leader said that the team will never be frustrated because of a loss in a game. The most exchanged topic among players is the discussion of skills and tactics. "The coaching staff also resumed the game video that night. , I also had conversations with some players the next day, which is also an integral part of the game."
The value of the "disastrous defeat" in the first game is the joy of allowing the team, most of the fans, and related personnel to win 4 consecutive victories from the final stage of the top 40 (game winning streak of Guam, the Philippines, the Maldives and the Syrian team that qualified early). Sober up, clearly realize that as the fourth-tier team of the top 12, there is still a significant gap between the national football team and the Asian strong team; secondly, it is clearly recognized that the multiple links required to "win the strong with the weak" are indispensable. The overall layout of the top 12 matches for a total of 10 games, the focus of the national football team should also be different: Australia and Japan are in the same stage, Saudi Arabia and Oman are more worthy of "fighting"-if you can't get at least against Vietnam 4 points, then setting the goal of "striving to qualify for the World Cup" is meaningless.
Therefore, getting out of the shadow of being slammed by the Australian team and regaining the "top 12 rhythm" on the Japanese team is the most strategic task that the national football team needs to complete in the second match.
As the top Asian team, the Japanese team faces far more pressures than the national football team before the upcoming battle.
The 70% possession rate of the Japanese team in the first game did not lead to a victory. Instead, the Oman team deployed tight defenses in key areas. The strategy of “giving out the midfield” is undoubtedly one of the best ideas for dealing with the Japanese team. In the 88th minute of the game, the "Lore" was sent to the Japanese team to stumble.
Japanese media reported that if they lose to the Chinese team in the second game, the head coach of the Japanese team Moriho will pay the price of "quitting get out of class" for an unprecedented two-game losing streak in the Asian region.
Such a situation requires the national football team and the Japanese team to re-adjust their combat strategies.
According to the national football coaching staff, the Chinese team’s technical and tactical research on the Japanese team has started from the top 40 stage. After the top 12 group draws to determine the position, the technical team immediately compiled a complete Japanese team information, including the brigade. The state of the European players and the common formations and routines used by the whole team. These materials will help the national football team "prescribe the right medicine" in the game against the Japanese team.
But in the end, what determines the outcome of the game is whether the players have the technical ability to adapt to changes on the court.
Take the Australian team in the first match as an example. All the targeted arrangements of the National Football Team are based on the premise that "Australia is the most threatening to play high and set the ball with a header." The central defender was taken out of the penalty area by the forward and retreated slowly, so he consciously reduced the crosses from the wing, and kept sending out excellent “behind balls” from the center. The goal route of the 3 sports games in the audience was clear, which also allowed the national football match. The previous "air defense preparations" almost completely failed.
This means that the top Asian teams, such as Australia and Japan, have players far more adaptable than the national football team. Blindly guarding against the Japanese team’s "short pass penetration" is not a key factor in "invincible", from beginning to end. The 90 minutes of the whole game is to concentrate on following defenses and supplements, which is the fundamental way to reduce the threat of the Japanese team's offense.
The Japanese team arrived in Doha on September 4 and went to the Qatar University training ground to start training that night.
Although defender Hiroki Sakai withdrew and No. 10 player Takumin Minano left the team due to injury and returned to Liverpool, the 22-year-old central defender Fuan Kenhiro and Yokohama Mariners' mixed-blood striker Onaiu Adao who had just transferred to Arsenal (top 40 match) Appearance and hat-trick performance) before the national football team returned, which means that the Japanese team did not have any decline in strength. On the contrary, the stimulation of the first defeat made them pay more attention to the "rhythm recovery battle" with the national football team.
Regardless of whether they can score points on the Japanese team, the national football team should let fans see a "normal" team.
"Reality" is a "scarce item" for Chinese football. Compared with the joy of the top 40 matches, the huge pressure faced by the top 12 matches is more real: the Saudi team won the Vietnam team in the first round, and the Oman team won Japan in the first round. In this round, the Australian team faced the Vietnam team with great confidence in winning, and the match between Oman and Saudi Arabia, which was carried out almost simultaneously with the Sino-Japanese war, was the best result for the national football team.
After the end of the two games in September, the national football team is still in a closed training state. The next October 7th home game against Vietnam and the away game against Saudi Arabia on October 12th. The venue of the game has not yet been determined, according to China Youth Daily. Net reporters understand that it is more and more likely that teams will continue to stay in Doha. Compared with the two games in September, the two games in October are the key battles for the national football team to continue their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.
