"Soccer Boy 3109 Days" is a good collection of information in the "Soccer Boy" series, although some of the data is a little different from the manga, but it can still make up a completion of the work.
Below, I will introduce you to some of the team tactics in the "Football Junior 3109Th" about the World Youth, but teams such as South Korea and the Netherlands that only appear in a few pictures are not in the scope of introduction.
Japanese youth team
The Japanese team adopts the "442" formation, because it is a protagonist team that is almost "open and hanging", so its three lines are very powerful configurations, without any weaknesses, and even do not need to use tactics in the manga.
On the front line is a combination of Nitta and Hyuga, but the basic thing that can score points is Hyuga. The midfield configuration is perfect, the front waist is the protagonist's big empty wing, there is no short board in attack, organization and even defense, Misaki Taro and Aoi Shingo are very strong, and the defensive ability of Matsuyama at the back is also very strong.
The defender is a bit stretched, only Misugi is a star, but because the goalkeeper is the strongest goalkeeper in the book, Wakabayashi, it is not easy to score into the Japanese team goal.
Overall, the Japanese youth team is a near-invincible player, no matter what tactics the opponent uses, they can win in the end anyway, so there is nothing to analyze.
Chinese youth team
China adopts the "433" formation, from the initial position and actual combat, its tactics are more aggressive, focusing on side breakthroughs and frontcourt pressing, is an offensive-oriented team.
The Chinese team's offensive was initiated by wu Junren, a midfield engine who was also the captain, who transported the ball to the side, and then the winger Wang Zhongming broke through and crossed to the center who was more than two meters tall to fly to complete the goal. If the attack is not smooth, Wu Junren will also wait for the opportunity to insert into the penalty area.
In fact, the back of Xiao Junguang is the real trump card of this team. He has a strong ability to steal and stare at people on the defensive end, while having great explosive power and long-range shooting ability can also allow him to launch direct attacks in midfield, and even threaten the goal.
In the comics, the Chinese team can basically be divided into two tactics of "Xiao Junguang is in" and "Xiao Junguang is not there", one is the so-called "split, break, head"; the other is called "give to Xiao Junguang"...
Saudi Arabia youth team
China adopts the "422" formation, and Ovilan, who has the reputation of "Asia's first center-back" on the defensive line, slightly protrudes forward, as a free man, he sees the opportunity to attack directly from the defender line.
Saudi Arabia has the title of "Asia's Strongest Defense Line" in the comics, but that's actually what it is... Mainly relying on the defensive line organized by Ovilland, as well as the three forwards in the midfield to force the opposing dribbler into a desperate situation and grab the football to immediately counterattack.
Ovilan is very strong personally, and Saudi Arabia's ability to assist in defense is also very good, but if you encounter a player with strong impact, you can't do anything, so you can't stop it when you encounter big air wing, Hyuga Kojiro, and strong Che Rentian.
The products of the "Free Man" era abound in Football Boy, and Ovilan is one of the best. However, he almost disappeared after the World Youth Championships, and only became a booster on Japan's way to qualify during the Olympic qualifiers.
Thai youth team
Thailand adopts a "442" formation, which looks similar to Saudi Arabia's tactics, in fact, the center-back line is more advanced, which can be said to be an attack-oriented team.
Thailand is a team that I hate because its style is very dirty. On the offensive end, it mainly relies on the cooperation of the "three brothers of shuttlecock", while at the defensive end, it relies on the captain Ban Ligao to directly abolish the opposing offensive players.
Therefore, the overall position of the Thai midfield is relatively front, basically a front waist, two full-backs and a central defender configuration, counting six offensive players. Ban Ligao stepped forward slightly, and when he saw who was not pleasing to the eye, he directly moved his fists and feet.
This kind of team is destined to be far away, and if it weren't for the black whistle referees in the comics who barely blew the whistle, I believe guys like Ben Ligao would have been banned long ago.
Mexican youth team
Mexico adopts the "532" formation, from the lineup point of view, basically the backcourt relies on the "flower butterfly" Espadas to defend with full force, and the front court is handed over to the "Sun Five Warriors" to score cooperative goals.
Mexico's "532" formation is a defensive iron formation, with two full-backs rarely involved in the attack. Meanwhile, the able-bodied No. 8 Garcia is not an all-round midfielder, but is only used as a jumping platform for the aerial tactics of the "Sun Five Warriors" (what the hell...). ）
Therefore, Mexico's front and backcourt are completely separated, the backcourt is only responsible for defense, the frontcourt is only for attack, responsible for the tandem, it is the goalkeeper Espadas who will break through with the ball.
I understand that Yoichi Takahashi wants to create a type Campos, a combination of striker and goalkeeper, but that's an exaggeration. Moreover, in reality, Campos is a player with a gimmick stronger than strength, and this tactic may only be achieved in comics.
Uruguayan youth team
Uruguay adopted the "442" formation, which is a variant of the diamond-shaped position of the midfield from the standpoint, and the front line is composed of the two arrows composed of Ryoma Fire and Victorino.
However, in the comics, Uruguay's midfield and backcourt are ornaments, whether it is a parallel position or a diamond position, the midfield has only one task, that is, to send the ball to the front line through various means.
Yoichi Takahashi seems to prefer Uruguay, and since the World Junior Championships they have appeared on the world stage as "dark horses". The consecutive defeat of Italy's two main players in the World Youth Championship is considered to be a direct send-home, relying on not a tactic, but a perverted "killing football".
If you have to analyze any tactics, there are only two people who are known as the "strongest double arrows". Ryoma Fire can score on his own, or he can use it as a frontcourt to stabilize the football and assist VictorIno, who has excellent running position and speed.
Swedish youth team
Sweden adopts a "352" formation, which basically uses a pressing style of play to put pressure on opponents. Thanks to the presence of the Four Horsemen of the White Nights, Sweden's threat is not the two dragon-set strikers on the front line, but the three attacking players in midfield.
Levine in the forward position is extremely attacking, the two sides of the defender are the extremely fast Larsson, and the technically outstanding Fedilix, and the seamless cooperation between them is an important factor for Sweden to be able to destroy the decay.
At that time, in reality, the two sides of the "352" formation were bound to go back to defense, otherwise the ribs would be strongly targeted by the other side, but this was not the case in the comics, and the two sides of the forward defense were not very active.
This phenomenon arose because sweden's No. 4 centre-back Brolin's iron-blooded defense, strong abs can withstand a variety of shots. But this only appears in the comics, and in reality no one is stupid enough to keep kicking at the abdomen of the opposing defender...
Brazilian youth team
Brazil adopted a "442" formation, with parallel positions in the midfield and slightly protruding forwards on both sides. Judging from the performance in the manga, the Brazilian team attacked and defended well, winning consecutive battles before meeting the Japanese team, and did not concede a single goal.
The Brazilian team emphasizes the combination of overall collaboration and individual play, the backcourt mainly relies on the command of captain 2 Alberto to defend, the full-backs will actively insert and cooperate with the full-backs, and the two midfielders are responsible for the up and down tandem, controlling the rhythm to transport the ball to the front.
Brazilian striker Santana No. 11 is the strongest scoring weapon, and No. 7 Rio is his club's teammate, slightly dragging in charge of connecting the front line with the midfield, mainly contributing ammunition to Santana. Overall, this team has almost no weaknesses, but it is a pity to meet the "open and hanging team".
In fact, there is one other player in Brazil who failed to start, and he is the boss of the World Youth Championship stage, Nadresha. Wearing the number 10 shirt, he appeared in extra time and was almost about to reverse the game. He is positioned between the striker and the midfielder, both attacking himself and working with strikers.
