Step by Step to Win

Chapter 383: The meaning of home

After drinking too much alcohol, Gao Shunyao praised Haikou in front of his girlfriend and said that he would take the team to Brazil next year. However, when he woke up the next day, the alcohol spirit passed, Gao Shunyao lay on the bed and felt a little bit in his heart. Annoyed.

Going to Brazil is not so easy, especially for the Chinese team.

During this period of time, the national team game has always been the biggest problem that plagued Gao Shunyao. Thinking of the current national team's performance, he always can't help but have headaches. Now that the Chinese team ranks third in the group, the hope of qualifying is still very slim. If they want to get the top two in the group and qualify for the World Cup, then they not only need to win by themselves, but also need the Iranian team to lose at this time-the former may be able to fight hard, but the latter can only rely on luck, say their own ball The team must be able to qualify. In this case, it is really just a big talk.

The World Cup is not so easy to play. If it were so easy, the Chinese team would not have entered the World Cup finals in so many years. Even if they have Gao Shunyao now, it is still not easy for them to qualify for the group. After waking up, Gao Shunyao was also annoyed in his heart. He praised Haikou and said that he would give the girl the greatest romance, but I was afraid that this time, he might really disappoint his girlfriend.

However, although his frustration flashed, he turned to look at his girlfriend's sweet face, thinking about the girl's happy look after hearing his words, he immediately suppressed all his depression. He couldn't bear to break this illusion by himself just after making the girl happy. After gritting his teeth, Gao Shunyao thought about what he had said, but could only make up his mind. In any case, try hard.

After making the rhetoric, Gao Shunyao paid more attention to future games. In his mind, this is not just a national team game. At the same time, it was a battle related to his personal commitment. He can only believe that his team still has a chance in the future. After all, the last two games have not been played. Since the ball has not yet been played, it means that everything is possible. Who knows in the end. How is the outcome?

However, it is not an easy task to win the last two games. Because in the remaining two teams, there is an extremely difficult opponent-the Japanese team, which is now the first in the group, is the next opponent of the Chinese team.

The second round of the group stage between China and Japan. It's about to start. This game is also the one that worries Gao Shunyao the most. In the away game, the Chinese team already lost the game. If they fail to win at home, it basically means bidding farewell to the World Cup in advance. This game is to be won no matter what, but look at the big roster of the Japanese team, the strength of this team. It really made Gao Shunyao somewhat helpless.

As the most recent Asian champion, the Japanese team is now quite outstanding. Every time I saw their information, Gao Shunyao felt a little upset from the bottom of his heart: the opponent was indeed too strong. It's really not easy to want to win.

Japan's goalkeeper is still Yongji Kawashima-as a national gate of Japan, his level is second to none even in Asia. This position is not critical. Although Gao Shunyao is no longer a top goalkeeper in his current eyes, he is at least within the scope of Asia. He is also a master.

This link is definitely not the weakness of the Japanese team.

And a guard line in Japan. In comparison, it's a bit worse. Atsushi Uchida and Maya Yoshida. Yasuyuki Konano and Yuto Nagatomo are the main starters. Three of these four people are overseas players, among them there are neither the best players in the league nor the main guards of the giants. And the remaining one, Yasukuni Konno, who is not studying abroad, is now one of the best defenders in Japan. The absence of studying abroad is largely limited by his body. In theory, this should be regarded as the best shot by Japan. Strong guard line.

If you only look at fame, they are indeed the strongest guard line that Japan can now come up with. At least compared to the Chinese team, they are much stronger. But having said that, Gao Shunyao was very happy when he saw the Japanese team: Although the opponent does not look weak, at least they are much weaker than before.

The current Japanese team is no longer the era led by the former King Tanaka. Because of their age, the old guards of that generation have already withdrawn from the Japanese national team. After losing this defender who even dared to fight Drogba, the Japanese team paid too much attention to technology and underestimated the problem of physical conditions, which became more and more prominent. Now their defensive line also has Yoshida who also plays in the Premier League. Players, but the strength has been much worse than before.

Gao Shunyao has played in Japan, and he is quite clear about the standards of these Japanese defenders. Compared to Tanaka Tokasa's generation of players who have no technical or physical problems, the Japanese team may have defensive skills and consciousness now, but the most important thing against them is not an advantage.

Fame and ability are not the same thing, especially for defenders, no matter how famous they are, as long as there is a weakness in one aspect, the team will fail. Even when Gao Shunyao had not traveled to Europe before, he was not afraid to face Yoshida Ma. Now after more than two years of growth, he can only be more excited when he meets his old opponent.

He believes that as long as his teammates can pass the ball to his feet, he will always have a chance to score. Even if he singled out this line of defense, there was nothing wrong with him in his opinion.

However, the biggest question is whether they can deliver the ball to their feet.

Although the Japanese team's defensive line is not strong, it is based on Gao Shunyao's view as a forward, but if viewed as a whole, they are still terrifying. Japan's defensive line's ability to support midfielders is absolutely superb. Although they are not good at defensively, they have strong offensive support capabilities and are of great help to their midfielders.

The Japanese team's midfielder, in front of the Chinese team, simply has a crushing advantage.

The midfielder of the Japanese team is composed of five midfielders consisting of Endo Yasuhito, Hasebe Makoto, Honda Keisuke, Kagawa Shinji, and Okazaki Shinji. Of these five, Yasuhito Endo is the number one local player in the J-League, and Makoto Hasebe is Gao Shunyao's teammate. This season, he is also the main rotation player in Wolfsburg. Shinji Kagawa went to Manchester United this season. Although he did not play the Bundesliga level in the Premier League, or even played poorly, his strength has not degraded much. For the remaining two people, Keisuke Honda is a CSKA Moscow player. Although in the eyes of European football, the Russian League is not a great league, it is better to be able to establish a foothold there than playing in Asia. And Shinji Okazaki played well in Stuttgart last season. Although he was just a rotation player, he didn't score many goals and had no status, but he did not play well in Stuttgart itself, ranking only 12 in the league. However, he was noticed by other Bundesliga teams, which is enough to show his level.

The strongest Japanese team used to be their midfielder, and now the strongest is still the midfielder. Looking at the level of the midfielders of his team, and then looking at the grades of the Japanese team, Gao Shunyao can only sigh that he wants to fight the Japanese team in midfield, and in all of Asia, I am afraid that no one can do it-South Korea Australia's strength is not bad, Australia is very strong, but simply speaking of midfield organization, they are not Japan's opponents.

However, although Japan's midfield strength is still as strong as Gao Shunyao remembers, they are not without problems. While carefully observing the recent game of the Japanese team, Gao Shunyao quickly noticed some fatal problems with the Japanese team.

Although the Japanese midfield organization is good, they are also not without any problems. At least their striker is still Maeda Ryoichi, which also made Gao Shunyao relieved. This veteran forward was the Japanese striker's first choice when he played Gao Shunyao in Japan. Now five years later, the Japanese striker can only rely on him. The replacement of other talents in Japan is very fast, but the striker is still the same, still half-dead.

When Gao Shunyao was playing in Japan, someone predicted that there would be an era of failure in Japan in the future, and there would be fatal shortcomings in certain positions. Now as time goes by, although Japan's midfielder has no problems, they have exposed problems on the front line. Their European counterparts, Takashi Usami, and others did not play a very good standard, and the domestic forwards were also unbearable, and their offensive capabilities were already quite scarce.

Five or six years have passed, and the forward line has not yet changed. It is no wonder that the Japanese domestic media have complained about themselves, saying that the Japanese football team only knows the ball but does not know the offense, and the games played are not as good as women's football.

This Japanese team ~www.ltnovel.com~ is generally thick in the middle and thin on both sides. They have top midfielders, but they don't have outstanding abilities at the front and back ends. The forwards are not good enough, the defenders are not hard enough, and although they have the advantage of possession, they cannot win many games. This is also their old problem.

And this is the biggest problem Gao Shunyao found: The Japanese team has strong control, but the control of the scene does not mean that the outcome is determined. They can get the ball, but it doesn't mean that they have the ball and they will be able to win.

After all, this game is played at home in China. It is not easy for the Japanese team to win so easily.

Winning and not scoring is a problem that technical teams must face, especially when it comes to away games, the problem is even more obvious. Even if Barcelona's technical level is very strong, but Guardiola led the team to play away results, is still criticized. No matter how good Japan's possession of the ball is, it is still inferior to Barcelona, ​​playing against the Japanese team at home, which also makes Gao Shunyao more confident.

Home court advantage belongs to China. Gao Shunyao also has reason to believe that his team can make good use of his home court advantage to win this game.

After all, the players of the Chinese team have played pretty well these days. (To be continued)
