I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

This game was more tense than Li Long imagined. The Japanese National Youth Team is a 4-4-2 disc midfielder.

The Huaxia National Youth Team has a 4-4-2 parallel formation. Although they are all 4-4-2 formations, they are actually different.

Compared with the Japanese national youth team, they are more defensive, and they will shrink quickly when defending.

When the Huaxia National Youth Team's tactics are defensive, the midfielder lacks interception and lacks sufficient sense of hierarchy.

The tactics of both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, if both sides are in a 4-4-2 formation.

Then it depends on which side has a strong midfielder, and the stronger side will undoubtedly have an advantage.

The fourth midfielder of the Japanese National Youth Team, Itakura Akira was born as a central defender, and he was selected because of his defense.

However, General Sakai's abilities are not considered strong, and the main ones are Miyoshi Yasuji and Don Anryu.

In contrast to the Huaxia National Youth Team, although Ding Kai is a defensive midfielder, in fact he is still on the pass line in other aspects.

Needless to say, Lu Lei has excellent organizational skills and good passing skills.

In contrast, Liu Tao and Cui Dongzhen, these two wide players, are inferior to the Japanese National Youth Team.

If you have to talk about that formation, the 4-4-2 formation is the most restrained.

Then there is no doubt that the 4-2-3-1 formation, because this formation has five midfielders.

But it is a good way to limit the control of the midfield, so that the 4-2-31 formation can gain more space to play, and it can restrain the 4-4-2 formation.

In fact, when Li Long collected information before the game, he knew that the Japanese national youth team was good at this formation.

Li Long also thought about changing the formation, but Mu Wentao had better have another forward to cooperate.

So Li Long finally chose the 4-4-2 formation that he is good at.

In the 34th minute, the Japanese National Youth Team overwhelmed the China National Youth Team at halftime.

General Sakai wanted to pass the football to the front, but Lu Lei judged his intention of passing the ball.

Lu Lei went up to steal the football, and the Huaxia National Youth Team switched from defense to offense.

Soon Itakura Akira came over to defend, so he sent an over-the-top pass to the right.

Cui Dongzhen stopped with his chest, the football hit his chest and fell down.

At the same time, Kazuki Sho, who was facing him, defended over, at this critical moment.

Cui Dongzhen flicked the falling football with his right foot, and the football passed over Cui Dongzhen's head, and then passed Kaimu Xiang.

At the same time, Cui Dongzhen quickly turned around counterclockwise and ran forward along the sideline.

All of this happened so suddenly, Kazuki didn't expect it at all.

Cui Dongzhen passed Fu Muxiang directly, and Fu Muxiang hurriedly chased him in a panic.

Mu Xiang's speed is not considered fast, but Cui Dongzhen is only considered to be above average, but in a state of dribbling.

Fu Muxiang tried his best to catch up with Cui Dongzhen, but at this time Cui Dongzhen had already passed halftime.

So Cui Dongzhen passed the football diagonally forward, looking for forward Mu Wentao.

As an important player of the Huaxia National Youth Team's defensive counterattack, Mu Wentao has of course been working hard to move.

While running, Mu Wentao looked at the position of the football.

Seeing that the football was about to fall, Mu Wentao hit the football with a header.

Then he continued to run forward with the ball at high speed, and Fu Anjianyang, who was behind, hurried to defend.

Mu Wentao didn't have any fear, he slammed his right foot towards the football, trying to overwhelm the opponent with his own speed.

The football rolled over from Fu'an Jianyang's left side, and Mu Wentao raised his speed to the fastest.

But Fu Anjianyang was very calm, knowing that if Mu Wentao was allowed to rely on his own speed, he would definitely not be able to catch up.

So Fu'an Jianyang bumped into Mu Wentao, and Mu Wentao was knocked down directly.

Mu Wentao quickly sat up and looked at the referee angrily.

Spreading his hands, the referee decisively blew his whistle, and then slowly ran towards Fu Anjianyang.

A yellow card was drawn, and Fu Anjianyang knew that he would definitely get the card, so he didn't resist.

"Fu'an Jianyang's foul definitely deserves a card, but he prevented such a counterattack, and this yellow card is worth it." Shao Shengyi explained regretfully.

"If Mu Wentao is really allowed to pass, it will be an absolute one-shot."

The head coach of the Japanese National Youth Team frowned upon seeing this, although he prevented a threatening attack from the Huaxia National Youth Team.

But it also caused the main central defender to get a yellow card, which will definitely affect Fu'an Jianyang's defensive strength.

The game continued, and the two sides fought very fiercely.

And because the midfielder has Lu Lei, the Huaxia National Youth Team has more ball rights.

Soon the Huaxia National Youth Team also received a yellow card. After Cui Dongzhen was intercepted, he counter-robbed Xiaochuan Hangji.

Although the two sides came and went back and forth, they never scored.

In the end, the two sides drew 0-0, ending the first half of the game, and both sides returned to the locker room.

Li Long looked around at all the players in the locker room, coughed and made everyone look at him.

"You guys did a great job in the first half of the game! You didn't give the opponent any chances on the defensive end." Li Long first praised the players' defense.

"But the problem is our offense, we need to score in the second half."

"I believe it's come to the finals, you won't be satisfied with just getting the runner-up!"

Hearing Li Long's words, all the players were determined.

"We need to make changes in the second half of the game. I remember that when we played against the Iranian national youth team, we were relatively disadvantaged in terms of physical confrontation."

"But compared with the Japanese national youth team, our physical confrontation is stronger, so you need to confront each other more."

"There is also midfield which is our strength and we need to make the best of that."

"Deng Zhengtao!" Li Long called Deng Zhengtao's name.

"Yes! Coach!" Deng Zhengtao replied loudly.

"In the second half of the game, you retreated and retreated to the front midfielder."

After careful consideration, Li Long decided to change the formation, and changed the tactical formation to a 4-2-3-1 formation, full attack and full defense.

After Li Long's shouting, all the players were full of fighting spirit.

As Li Long said, since we have reached the final, we cannot leave with regrets.

The halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Huaxia National Youth Team, which made changes, did put pressure on the Japanese National Youth Team.

The sudden and intense physical confrontation made the Japanese players very uncomfortable.

However, it was the Japanese national youth team that took the lead in threatening. It turned out that the head coach of the Japanese national youth team also gave tactical guidance during the intermission.

His tactics are very simple, that is to defend with all his strength, and then play defensive counterattacks.

The 4-4-2 disc midfield formation is very suitable for defensive counterattacks.

And their frontcourt also has Hiroto Iwasaki, a fast forward.

General Sakai sent a long pass to the back of the Huaxia National Youth Team.

After receiving the pass, Hiroto Iwasaki ran towards the penalty area of ​​the Huaxia National Youth Team.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper Xia Bin attacked in time, and after running out of the penalty area, he decisively slid and shoveled the football.
