Fox in the Penalty Area

In fact, when Yao Huasheng convened the Chinese team players for a meeting, Dong Jianhai also made adjustments on the sidelines.

It's just that everyone's attention was on the players on the field at that time, and they didn't notice it immediately.

It wasn't until they ran back to their own half, and the TV broadcast cut to the coach of the Chinese team, that everyone realized that Mao Jun was standing next to the head coach Dong Jianhai, who was giving him tips face-to-face.

"The Chinese team is going to make a substitution!" He Feng praised, "Director Dong's reaction is still very fast. In other words, he actually prepared to make such a substitution early in the morning, just waiting for the goal to appear. As long as the Chinese team scores a goal, it will be Substitute immediately! After Mao Junzheng enters the field, he should replace an offensive player and strengthen the defense...Now the Chinese team holds a two-goal lead, and there are 20 minutes left in the game..."

"Who do you think he will replace, Yu?" Dillon asked in a relaxed tone in front of the TV.

Yu Jintao frowned and thought: "Jiang Wanqing should not be replaced, because we must have someone in the midfield defense...Could we replace Zhang Qinghuan? Luo Kai and Zhou Zijing are centers, and Hu Lai can't be replaced... In the case of counter-defense, Zhang Qinghuan is actually of little use... Well, Zhang Qinghuan should be replaced."

After listening to Yu Jintao's analysis with a smile on his face, Dillon shook his head and said, "No, I think he will replace Qu."

"Qu Lu?" Yu Jintao was a little surprised. "Qu Lu is a full-back, he needs to strengthen his defense..."

"But Qu is a full-back who is stronger in attack than defense, and now he has already mentioned the position of full-back. It is obvious that Dong is going to play with a back three. It is impossible for him to let Qu come back and change to a four-back formation." Di Long analyzed.

"Then why not replace Luo Kai or Chen Xingyi?"

"Because he needs the two of them to contain the Japanese team's attack on the wing, it is necessary to ensure the speed of the Chinese team on the wing."

As soon as Dillon finished speaking, Mao Junzheng walked towards the fourth official and handed over his entry card.

The fourth official glanced at the substitution arrangement, then lowered his head and began to enter the number on the electronic number plate.

When he held it up, it clearly showed number 4 up and number 3 down.

No. 4 is Mao Junzheng, and No. 3 is Qu Lu!

"Aha!" Dillon laughed excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously at the same time, "I want to go with Dong again! Yu, I think the belittling and criticizing of Dong by the media and fans before is all premature. ! He is definitely not the incompetent person you say!"

Yu Jintao was speechless: "I never commented on him that way..."

After Mao Junzheng played,

She stuffed a note to Zhang Qinghuan: "Director Dong asked me to give it to you."

After speaking, he ran straight to his place.

Zhang Qinghuan lowered his head and read the contents of the note.

He read it quickly and stuffed the note into the back pocket of his trousers.

Then he yelled towards the frontcourt: "Chen Xingyi! Left midfielder!! Luo Kai! Right midfielder!!"

This is to tell them the new location.

As Mao Jun was playing to replace Qu Lu, the Chinese team made another adjustment to their formation.

Soon everyone saw the new formation of the Chinese team - 352 - from the perspective of the TV broadcast.

The three defenders are Yao Huasheng, Wang Guangwei and Mao Junzheng. Among the five midfielders, Jiang Wanqing and Xia Xiaoyu play the defensive midfielder, Zhang Qinghuan plays the offensive midfielder in the center, Chen Xingyi is the left midfielder, and Luo Kai is the right midfielder. Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing are two partners on the front line.

"It's beautiful, Dong..." Jorge Dillon said with emotion when he saw the positions of the Chinese players. "The Japanese team is in big trouble."

He was right, the three defenders of the Chinese team did not lose out against the two forwards of the Japanese team. After Mao Junzheng plays, he can help Yao Huasheng defend, so that the pressure on Yao Huasheng, who is playing with injuries, will be much less.

In the midfield, the Chinese team with as many as five people is also enough to counter the Japanese team's four midfielders.

The striker Zhou Zijing used his body to compete for the first point, and Hu Lai was beside him to control the second point. The combination of the two can harass the Japanese team's defense, making Yamagami Kengo and Nakaoka Takehiro dare not Easy to press on.

The Japanese team also made substitution adjustments, and Hiroto Motegi replaced two people in one breath.

Replaced Masato Hirokawa with forward Daisuke Yoshida-Hiroto Mogi also saw that Masato Hirokawa did not have an advantage when dealing with Yao Huasheng.

Then he replaced Kudo Kazuya with Sugiyama Tatsuya.

Both substitutions are counterpoint substitutions.

If this is in a normal game, it is a very common substitution.

But when life is needed, these two substitutions are really...common.

Because the offensive number has not changed, the offensive tactics have not changed, and the previous ones are still used. The Chinese team, which is very familiar with the Japanese team's offensive routines in the game, is much easier to deal with.

But Hiroto Motegi couldn't replace a defender like Dong Jianhai did, add a striker, and play 343 instead. He still can only maintain 442 unchanged.

Because he dare not.

Zhou Zijing and Hu Lai were able to hold back the Japanese team's defenders with just a long pass from the backcourt. How dare Hiroto Motegi replace a defender casually?

Besides, the Japanese team has never practiced a three-back formation...

So it stands to reason that the Japanese team, which should give it a go, was tied up by the Chinese team, which also played an unfamiliar formation...

※※ ※

After Tatsuya Sugiyama took the ball in the frontcourt, he let the football stay under his feet for a few more seconds. He wanted to observe the situation in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, but Jiang Wanqing bumped him from the side. He quickly hooked the football to the right with his left foot, trying to turn around to protect the football.

As a result, just as he turned around, he saw Xia Xiaoyu appearing in front of him, stretching out his foot to poke...

The ball is lost!

Sugiyama Tatsuya was worried that the Chinese team would launch a counterattack, so he could only reach out and pull Xia Xiaoyu to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle, whistled him for a foul, and awarded the Chinese team a free kick in the backcourt.

Xia Xiaoyu was still lying on the ground, and Hu Lai was squatting beside him, talking to him...

Seeing this, Sugiyama Tatsuya showed a painful expression. He did not complain to the referee that the Chinese team deliberately delayed the time, he just put his hands on his hips and sighed.

Before the game, he never imagined that the game would become like this...

They are the defending champions!

In fact, in this Asian Cup, Tatsuya Sugiyama himself played a bit aggrieved.

This season, he was loaned by Blue and White Munich to Arminia, who is also in the Bundesliga. In this newly promoted polo team, Tatsuya Sugiyama finally got his wish and played as the core of the midfielder and performed well.

But in the Japanese national team, he still can only serve as a substitute for the original four-man team.

There are very few opportunities to play, and most of them can only play in some garbage time.

This game was ordered in a crisis, but Tatsuya Sugiyama was a little helpless in the face of the gap of two goals.

As someone who has fought Hu Lai all the way since the East Asian Cup, he certainly knows how powerful Hu Lai is. He lost to the Chinese team u23 in the U23 Asian Cup final, and he also knows the abilities of Chen Xingyi, Wang Guangwei, and Luo Kai.

But now it is the Asian Cup, and the Japanese team wants to defend the title with the strongest posture.

But he was beaten 1:3 by the Chinese team in this game, and now he is powerless in the face of the two-goal deficit...

Tatsuya Sugiyama suddenly thought of Junpei Morikawa.

When I first knew that Junpei Morikawa could not participate in the Asian Cup, I felt sorry for him.

But now it seems that it may be a blessing not to participate in the Asian Cup.

Amidst the boos of the Japanese fans, Xia Xiaoyu was finally pulled up by Hu Lai, and the timing was just right. Not yet to the point where the referee showed him a yellow card.

Because it didn't take too much time.

It's just that Sugiyama Tatsuya's foul wasn't considered serious, it just brought Xia Xiaoyu down, not shoveling him down. The Japanese fans think that Xia Xiaoyu can just stand up after falling to the ground, and there is no need to lie on the ground for a while.

Xia Xiaoyu actually planned to get up from the beginning, but Hu Lai was pushed to the ground by Hu Lai who rushed over.

So this is deliberately delaying time, but it's not delayed long enough...

Chinese fans can fully argue that Hu Lai did not want Xia Xiaoyu to deliberately delay the time, but wanted Xia Xiaoyu to take this opportunity to take a break.

So in fact, it is not important whether there is really a delay. The important thing is that both the players and the fans of the Japanese team were disgusted once.

When Sugiyama Tatsuya looked up at the sky and lamented the fate of himself and the national team, his teammates all ran around the referee, pointing their fingers at Hu Lai and Xia Xiaoyu in protest.

It's a pity that the protest was invalid, and the referee didn't mean to judge the Chinese team for delaying time.

This makes the Japanese players even more disgusting.

In their minds, the Chinese team is probably all despicable people...

But in the eyes of Chinese fans, this is a group of anti-Japanese heroes.

Hu Lai's witty performance was unanimously praised by Chinese fans.

Yan Yan pointed to Hu Lai on the screen and shouted excitedly: "You really deserve to be Hu Lai! Well done, you have the mentality of a little Japanese!"

Then he said to the uncle next to him: "Let me tell you, uncle, Hu Lai is very good at this. I think when we were still in high school, we participated in the national competition, and the semi-finals were against Chongwen Middle School..."
