According to the China Youth Daily, on January 24, before the second leg of the Round of 12, wu Lei, a striker who had just returned from Espanyol and met with the national football team in Japan, particularly emphasized in an interview with the media:
"In this game, we must learn the lessons of the last game (the first battle between China and Japan), no matter what the result is, we must show the spirit and fighting spirit." Don't be as passive as you were in the first round. We still have to let go of ourselves. ”
China Youth Daily also commented: "Such a statement also indicates that the Chinese team will not fully retreat in the game on the 27th as the two teams did in the first leg of the meeting." ”
The national football team under Li Tie played 6 games in the round of 12, and it can be said that it was the first two games between China and Australia and China and Japan that determined the general tone of the failure of the top 12 matches of the national football team - Li Tie's arrogance and inferiority, and the lack of stable style of play, are all reflected in these two games.
The first game of the national football team in the top 12 against Australia, Li Tie is arrogant to the extreme, he actually thought that "Li Jiajun" can fight with the Australian team - but the national football team only attacked the first 15 minutes, and then, it was completely controlled by the opponent rhythm and initiative, and finally lost 0-3, after the game, Li Tie admitted to "despising the opponent": Then ask, which opponent of the national football team is qualified to despise the top 12?
After losing this battle, Li Tie faced the second opponent, the Japanese team, and came to a 180-degree turn, from contempt for the strongest opponent in Asia to complete fear of the opponent - when playing against the Japanese team, the bus was fully set up, which was a "rat does not come out of the hole" style of play.
But the result is the same as the first game, these two games the national football team is 0 shots on goal and 0 shots on target, whether it is attacking or defending, it is completely impossible to see where the hope of the national football team is!
In fact, in the face of strong teams, such as Asia's first-class Australia and Japan, the national football team should be based on defense, which is not wrong, but the so-called "defensive counterattack" is not completely "stuck out of the hole", but on the basis of defense, there must be a sharp and rapid counterattack.
In the second game against the Australian team, Li Tie, who finally began to wake up, better understood the way of defensive counterattack, and in the end, whether it was in the scene and process, or the result of the 1-1 draw with the Australian team, it showed how outrageous Li Tie's performance in the first two games was!
And this time to fight the Japanese team again, as the most important to Li Tie, and many times openly supported by Wu Lei, but said "learn the lessons of the first sino-Japanese war, can no longer be passive, to let go", obviously now that Li Tie, who has been idle at home, will also feel very embarrassed, right? Although Wu Lei is the speaker's intention, this is nothing less than a negation of the Sino-Australian and Sino-Japanese battles commanded by Li Tie!
Judging from the pre-match training of the new coach Li Xiaopeng against Japan, the main one he introduced should be the three-guard formation, which means that the 3-4-3 formation will be most likely to be used by the national football team - when the game is switched from attack to defense, this formation can also become 5-4-1, so that the balance between attack and defense can be better achieved.
Because, the national football team against the Japanese team, even if it is stubborn, may be able to defend a small score to the opponent as in the first battle, but for the national football team, it is basically meaningless - and based on defense, still trying to fight back, it is possible to draw or defeat the Japanese team, just like the national football team previously played against Vietnam, Oman and the second battle against Australia, it is possible to have a better result in the process, situation and results.
It is said that Li Xiaopeng has watched the video of the first game between China and Japan no less than 5 times, and believes that the national football team, like Wu Lei said, will no longer blindly stick to it, but will be based on defense and let go of his own counterattack, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of not only losing, but also 0 shots on goal and 0 shots! 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
