Looking at Teixeira's data today, there has been a significant decline compared to its peak. The talented star, who was once contested by Liverpool, has only started 19 starts in the 2021-22 season, with only four goals and one assist.
In the past, Teixeira chose the latter among Liverpool and Jiangsu Suning, becoming one of the most brilliant diamonds in the glory years of the Chinese Super League. On December 21, 2015, when Suning Group announced the full takeover of the former Jiangsu Sainty Football Club, I believe that many Sainty fans were full of resistance.
However, from another point of view, the wealthy Suning Group has indeed opened up a broader space for the development of the team, and Teixeira is the "potential wealth" they left to Chinese football.
On February 5, 2016, Jiangsu Suning brought a huge surprise to the fans: the team officially brought in Brazilian striker Teixeira from The Ukrainian Super League giant Shakhtar Donetsk, and it is reported that the transfer fee is as high as 50 million euros (about 370 million yuan). Meanwhile, Teixeira's annual salary has reached a staggering 12 million euros, and it will rise by 5% per year.
It is worth mentioning that Teixeira broke the record held by Evergrande striker Jackson Martinez (42 million euros) and became the "transfer champion" of Chinese football at that time.
Coming to the Chinese Super League with a sky-high transfer fee, Teixeira's performance did not disappoint the fans.
In his debut season with Jiangsu Suning, the Brazilian striker made 35 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and eight assists. In the following seasons, Teixeira fully grew into the core of the team, making 100 appearances for the team on 3 November 2018 and breaking the team's goal record (43 goals) to become the team's all-time top scorer.
As the wave of naturalization in Chinese football has advanced in full swing, fans have inevitably begun to focus on Teixeira. Unfortunately, due to having represented Brazil in the U20 World Cup, Teixeira was excluded from the naturalization list for a long time.
Just as fans were losing confidence, FIFA's "Players Association Conversion Clause" amendment passed on September 18 brought Teixeira's naturalization back to hope.
The amendment provides: "To represent the original association in an official international A-level event and already has the nationality of the country of the association he wishes to represent at the time of his first official event, but his last appearance on behalf of the current association is under 21 years of age at the time of his official appearance, and he must meet the requirements to have appeared in no more than 3 international A-level matches and has been more than 3 years since his last international A-level competition." ”
According to this new rule, if Teixeira becomes a Chinese national, she will be directly qualified to represent the national football team.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Teixeira did not successfully hold hands with the national football team in the end. The Brazilian star "idled" a season after leaving Jiangsu until last August, when he joined Besiktas of the Turkish Super League. Although the national football team also has a number of naturalized players in the frontcourt such as Axon, Alan, Fernando, Luo Guofu, etc., the overall performance is extremely bad, and it has hit a wall in the round of 12, and finally achieved the second-to-last dismal exit of the group.
In the face of such a bad ending, fans are angry at the same time, but also take it for granted that the "nuclear weapon" Teixeira who killed four parties in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League - if Teixeira really succeeded in naturalization that year, could it reverse the decline of the national football team in the top 12, and give Chinese fans a chance to realize their dream world cup?
A brief career description
Teixeira was born on 6 January 1990 to the Duke of Caxias, Brazil. Like most Brazilian children, Teixeira showed a keen interest in football at an early age, but due to his poor family, he could not be trained by the orthodox youth training system like other children.
Despite the bumpy road to football, Teixeira has not given up on her dreams. Since he couldn't get professional training, he honed his skills through wild balls.
In 1999, Teixeira, then only 9 years old, came to Vasco da Gama for a trial. Unlike those "cobain students" who have a one-stroke and one-shot look, Teixeira's professional skills in the field from childhood are not solid, but the creativity of the game and the skills of the feet are far superior to those of their peers. The coach of vasco da Gamma immediately decided to sign a professional contract with him, and Teixeira's career began.
In Vasco da Gama's echelon, Teixeira, who received professional guidance, grew faster and faster. At the age of 14, he had already represented all the echelons, and even when facing opponents at the age of 18, he could not be left behind. By 2008, the 18-year-old Teixeira officially entered the first team and made his first-team debut against Brazil International in May of the same year.
On 28 June, Teixeira scored his first career goal in Vasco da Gama's 4-2 win over Ipatinga. That season he made 55 appearances for the team in all seasons, scoring eight goals.
Sadly, Teixeira's efforts failed to help the team stay in the top flight. Vasco da Gama had a poor overall performance in the 2008 season, eventually scoring only 40 points in the league and regrettably being relegated.
In the 2009 season, Teixeira has grown into an absolute main force, and he is quite creative in his sharp breakthroughs on the flanks and the threat of passing the ball from the inside of the middle. He made 37 appearances in all competitions that season, scoring eight goals, helping Vasco da Gama return to the League after a season.
With his excellent performance in Brazilian football, Teixeira quickly attracted the attention of many European scouts. It is reported that many English giants have taken a fancy to Teixeira's delicate foot dribbling skills and excellent overall view of the field, including the famous Blues Chelsea and Manchester City.
Weighing the pros and cons, Teixeira refused the invitations of several giants and instead chose a more secure ascent platform - donetsk miners. On 21 December 2009, at the age of 19, Teixeira joined Ukrainian super giant Shakhtar Donetsk for a transfer fee of 6 million euros, and the two sides signed a five-year contract.
During his time at Shakhtar Donetsk, Teixeira was exposed to more advanced European football concepts, and his awareness of the game and his physical confrontation ability were further improved.
In the 2015-2016 season, Teixeira made 15 appearances in the Ukrainian Premier League, scoring 22 goals, averaging a staggering 1.47 goals per game, helping Shakhtar Donetsk to win the league runner-up, and he also won the Top Scorer of the Ukrainian Premier League for the second consecutive season.
It is worth mentioning that the Silver Boot winner of the 2015-2016 Ukrainian Premier League, Butzivsky, has made 8 more appearances than Teshera, but he has only scored 14 goals. In other words, Teixeira locked in the league's Golden Boot in almost half a season, and his goal-scoring ability is evident.
The Golden Boot of The Ukrainian Super League, facing Real Madrid twice... Such performances are indeed eye-catching, but from another point of view, Teixeira has no previous experience in the five major leagues in Europe, and most of his brilliant resumes have been completed in the weaker competition of Ukraine.
In other words, if the FA is determined to naturalize Teixeira, can the latter really help the national football team? In the following pages, the author will combine the data of each period of Teixeira's career, supplemented by his personal technical characteristics, and analyze the help he can bring to the national football team.
Location analysis
According to the German transfer market and information displayed by WhosScored, Teixeira's main positions are left winger, center forward and attacking midfielder. In this season's Chinese Super League, Teixeira has made 9 starts as a center forward, scoring 6 goals; 1 start as a left winger; and 2 appearances as a forward, scoring 1 goal.
However, Teixeira can play far more than that, and so far, Teixeira has played in seven positions in her career: center, left winger, left midfielder, right winger, two forward (shadow forward), attacking midfielder and midfielder.
Statistically, Teixeira has played in 113 games as an attacking midfielder, scoring 72 goals and 20 assists
He played in 69 games as a centre forward, scoring 35 goals and 15 assists
Played in 45 games as a left winger, scoring 16 goals and 17 assists
Played in 32 games as a right winger, scoring 15 goals and 3 assists
Played in 9 games as a two-forward, scoring 5 goals and 5 assists
Played in 9 games as a midfielder and scored 1 goal
Played in 3 games as a left midfielder with 3 assists.
It is worth mentioning that since Olaroyu joined Jiangsu, the Romanian manager has been more inclined to place Teixeira close to the goal.
The reason is simple, once Teixeira appears in the front position of the team, it will inevitably involve most of the defensive attention of the opposing center-back. If Jorteshera pulls the edge or retreats during the game, it can effectively disrupt the defensive layout of the opposing back line, creating a larger back space and rib gap on the side.
Expansive frontcourt coverage area
It can be seen that the more comprehensive personal skills make Teixeira's position on the field extremely rich, and also create his "ghostly" style of play.
Of course, as the "free man in front" of the Jiangsu team, Teixeira will not stick to a certain position during the game, but will actively play its own characteristics, covering the entire half of the opponent's mobile area and further enriching the team's offensive routine.
The picture above is a heat map of Teixeira's last season in the Chinese Super League, and it can be found that his main activity area is more concentrated on the left side, but the overall activity area has covered the opponent's half.
The flexible position on the pitch gives teixeira players a headache, and it is difficult for them to coordinate their defense of Teixeira during the high-intensity rapid transition process. Once given a short chance to pick up the ball in a certain area, Teixeira can use his outstanding ability to create a threatening attack.
In the 2019 Chinese Super League, Olaroyu tailored an effective offensive plan for Teixeira through continuous tactical practice.
In the 2019 season, Olaroyu has been looking for the formation that best plays teixeira's individual technical characteristics: he has tried the 442, 4231, 541, 532 and 433 formations, and finally decided to make the 442 formation the first choice (Jiangsu team used the 442 formation in as many as 19 games in the 2019 season, accounting for 63% of the league total).
Fast forward to the 2020 season, and Olaroyu's love for the 442 formation is still undiminished. In the 14 games in the first stage, Jiangsu team had 7 games to sacrifice 442 starting formations, accounting for 50% of the total number of games. It is worth mentioning that even in the non-442 formation used by jiangsu team, the double forward combination also occupies the main role (3 games 532 formation, two 4312 formations).
Why is the two-striker formation more suitable for Teixeira? The author believes that the key reason for this is the "liberation of Teixeira".
If a single-arrow formation is used, Teixeira will be exposed directly to the opposing line.
For Teixeira, physical confrontation is not his best play, and the situation of "hand-to-hand combat" with defenders for a long time is not only unable to play its dexterous running position and organizational transmission, but also consumes a lot of physical energy in vain.
If a three-striker formation is used, Teixeira is more likely to be placed in the left winger position. His ability to break through on the flanks does get a chance to show off, but for a star like Teixeira, there's much more to the team than just a breakthrough.
Once Teixeira abandons the wing in the game and moves to the centre, the offensive burden on the left is heavily applied to the domestic full-backs, which is not a good thing for the 433 formation, which has a relatively large gap in the midfield.
In all cases, Teixeira's characteristics on the offensive end require a companion to assist him.
Let's take the example of high school striker Santini, who, when he and Teixeira form a double striker, have a strong fulcrum ability that can draw most of the defensive attention of the opposing defender line.
In such a background environment, Teixeira's ball space has increased, which can not only use the foot technology to play a subtle cooperation in the local range, but also attract the opposing defense line to move forward as a whole, creating space for the adduction of the wing teammates.
Organizational capacity
Even in that star-studded era of the Chinese Super League, Teixeira's high goal efficiency was very impressive. But combined with his distinctive retracement characteristics, it is not difficult to deduce another major technical characteristic of his - organizational ability.
In the 2019 season, Teixeira completed a total of 41 key passes, which can be ranked 16th in the Chinese Super League.
It is worth mentioning that Teixeira is only in front of Achimpen and Zahavi, who are also forwards. In other words, Teixeira's key passes for the 2019 season can be ranked third among all forwards (behind Achimpen and Zahavi), but he has scored exactly twice as many goals as Achimpen, and his overall offensive strength is evident.
Fast forward to the 2020 season, and due to last season's outstanding performance, Teixeira's organization of the ball in the defensive three zones has been increasingly restricted by the teams. Against this backdrop, his average number of key passes per game has slipped slightly from the previous season to 1.3 (compared to 1.4 last season).
It should be emphasized that even if the key passing data declines from the previous season, Teixeira's key passes this season can still enter the top 10 of the Chinese Super League, and the only forwards in front of him are Larson, Achimpen and Matthews.
Let's look at an assist that Teixeira completed against Shanghai Harbour in the 2019 season. When the Jiangsu team formed a counterattack opportunity, Teixeira, who had excellent skills under his feet and excellent sense of cooperation, became the main target of defense.
Under the closed defense of the two Shanghai SIPG players, Teixeira successfully broke through with good foot technique, and simultaneously observed the rib gap between the two defenders and the teammate Xie Pengfei who quietly stepped forward during the high-speed dribbling process. In the end, his straight plug accurately tore through the backline formed by Shanghai SIPG, helping Xie Pengfei form a one-handed opportunity.
If the above assist reflects Teixeira's ability to pass the threat ball during the process of advancing with the ball, then the following assist reflects its threat ball passing ability under the multi-person bag.
As shown in the picture, in the match against the Chinese Super League Banba Guangzhou team, Teixeira immediately fell into the pocket of 3-4 defenders after getting the ball. In such an unfavorable environment, Teixeira did not seek too risky and unrealistic single-soldier assault, but cleverly used his foot technique to control the ball and attract all the attention of the defense.
With Teixeira's dribbling involvement, the Guangzhou team's defense line was almost pulled to the right side of the big penalty area, and the middle road exposed a huge unguarded space. Jiangsu Suning's other striker, Eder, keenly spotted the gap here and arrived later in the way of insertion, so that teixeira crossed the goal easily.
Breakthrough ability
Some friends may have a slight doubt when they see this: Teixeira has averaged only 1.8 times per game this season, ranking only 16th in the Chinese Super League, and even less than local players such as Zhou Junchen and Zhao Mingjian.
From another point of view, the "poor" of Teixeira's data is not due to the decline in his breakthrough ability, but more because he has a certain organizational offensive task under the new system. You know, Teixeira, who has just arrived in the Chinese Super League, is also a "superhuman demon".
In the 2016 season, Teixeira averaged 4.8 times per game in the Chinese Super League and could qualify for the top three of the Chinese Super League (behind only Fernando and Gabioneta). Since the beginning of the 2017 season, due to the gradual integration into the overall tactics of the team, coupled with the quiet establishment of the core position, Teixeira's average number of breakthroughs per game has decreased every season, and instead a lot of attention has been placed on the organization and scheduling of the midfield.
Still, we can't simply assume that Teixeira's ability to break through is missing. On the contrary, when the vast majority of opponents focus on blocking his passing line, Teixeira is often able to provide the team with a new offensive idea with unexpected breakthroughs.
Let's look at one of Teixeira's goals against Guangzhou City in 19 seasons. As shown in the picture, Teixeira was immediately defended by two players after receiving the ball near the central circle, and instead of seeking a quick transfer as usual, te chingra formed an easy escape by subtly changing directions.
Teixeira's breakthrough in this 1V2 situation is the finishing touch of this attack, because the Guangzhou City midfield defense was too easy to break through, the backline players had no way to push out in time, and could only watch Teixeira calmly adjust the pace and then complete a high-quality long-range shot.
Of course, although the successful breakthrough with one enemy and many enemies is very ornamental, it is too risky after all. Teixeira's most valuable strength is his ability to break through in the counterattack.
As we all know, due to the small number of pick-up points in the counter-attack process, there will even be no one to pick up in the latter part of the game. In this context, Teixeira's sharp breakthrough ability is very important, he can not only play the role of the "fulcrum" of controlling the ball in the front court, thereby reducing the pressure of the defense, but also can frequently hold the ball to attack the opposing defense line and look for opportunities to break the goal.
Let's take an example of a goal teixeira scored against Guangzhou City. As shown in the picture, the teammate did not make a complicated short pass after breaking the ball at the back, but used the long pass directly to find Teixeira who cruised to the left to receive the ball.
As Guangzhou City as a whole was in an offensive position, Teixeira had a great 1-on-1 breakout opportunity on the counter-attack. It can be found that Jin Pengxiang, who is tall and has a slow turn, has no way to face Teixeira's flexible change of direction, and finally he easily shakes it away and then shoots into the far corner.
Through an analysis of Teixeira's running position, we find that the Brazilian striker's running and receiving of the ball during the counter-attack has a distinct personal characteristic: even if he appears in the center position in the starting lineup, Teixeira is more inclined to swim to the wing in the counterattack.
Such running habits can effectively avoid defensive areas and turn to the relatively sparsely populated side to seek 1-on-2 or even 1-on-1 opportunities; at the same time, pulling the edge of possession allows their slower teammates to get enough time to plug in, so that the team's counterattack becomes richer and more three-dimensional.
Of course, pulling the side dribbling is just Teixeira's idea of taking the ball in the less of a situation with his teammates around him. When he has enough passing points during the counter-attack, Teixeira's range of motion will increase sharply and the opponent's defense will become more and more difficult.
Let's look at a goal Teixeira scored against Dalian in the 2019 season. As shown in the picture, Paletta continued to use a succinct long pass to find Teixeira in front of him after breaking the ball.
It can be found that when Teixeira got the ball, No. 11 Xie Pengfei quickly inserted along the left side, thus involving the defensive attention of dalian's right defender; No. 22 Wu Xi and No. 9 Eder rushed into the penalty area along the rib gap of the opponent's road defense line, forcing dalian defender line to be unable to press forward to limit Teixeira's holding of the ball.
In such a situation, only one person can defend Teixeira in midfield. It was clear that it was difficult for our homegrown players to form a single defense against the Brazilian shooter, who was known for his personal ability, and in the end Teixeira relied on a small range of acceleration to easily get rid of it, followed by a low shot into the far corner.
Taken together, Teixeira is becoming more and more like a "commander" who leads the whole team. He is not too obsessed with forming breakthroughs through personal dribbling in positional attacks, but actively seeks to cooperate with his teammates.
But such tactical thinking does not mean that Teixeira's superiority has been lost. On the contrary, when there is more room to hold the ball, Teixeira's momentary escape is still extremely threatening.
Shooting ability
As a goalscorer, efficient goal scoring ability is naturally a distinctive feature of Teixeira.
Due to the more diversified positioning on the field, Teixeira's contribution to the Chinese Super League in the 2020 season did not contribute much per game, only 2.2 times, only to rank 5th in the same position.
Despite his low number of shots on goal, Teixeira is often able to take chances in the few shooting conditions, which is a testament to his superb shooting skills: Teixeira has averaged 1.4 shots per game this season, ranking second in the same position.
In other words, Teixeira's shooting accuracy rate reached 64%, and of all the strikers in the eyes, only Guangzhou's Wei Shihao was higher than him (Wei Shihao's shooting accuracy rate reached 82%).
Why does Teixeira have such a high shooting percentage on goal? In fact, the reason is very simple, Teixeira not only has a superb shooting skill, but also a variety of shooting methods.
As an experienced striker, Teixeira is not limited to a certain way of shooting, and his balanced feet make it difficult for opponents to elusively choose their shots.
It can be said that Teixeira is not only a commander who "points out the country", but also a pioneer who can "attack the city and pull out the wall".
Speed advantage
Although Jiangsu Suning's staffing is in the upper reaches of the Chinese Super League, head coach Olaroyu is not a head coach who blindly pursues the so-called on-field situation. In some cases, the Romanian coach is also willing to take the initiative to shrink the defensive line and adopt a "wait and play" game strategy.
For Olaroyo, the retreat of the three fronts does not mean a stubborn defense, and Teixeira is a solid reliance on him to use this tactic.
As the three fronts of the Jiangsu team gradually retreated, it will inevitably promote the overall pressure of the other side's position. In such a background environment, the back line will expose a huge gap behind it.
It can be found that whether under Petrescu, Choi Yong-so, Capello or Olaroyu, Teixeira's speed advantage is a magic weapon for the team's attack.
Let's look at the above GIF, when Jiangsu team took the lead early, it did not rush to press the whole line to try to make another city, but fully contracted the formation, leaving only Teixeira alone in the front.
In order to equalize, the Shenzhen team could only press all three fronts, which gave Teixeira a "big savannah" to gallop freely. When Jiangsu defender Ji Xiang got the ball at the back, he used a simple and clear long pass to form a connection with Teixeira, who suddenly inserted himself into the deep foot.
It can be found that although the deep-footed defender has tried his best to chase back, there is still nothing he can do in the face of Teixeira's accelerated assault, and finally he can only watch him shoot low into the far corner of the goal.
In the match against Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics, Teixeira also staged a counter-insertion and scored. As shown in the picture, when Ji Xiang controlled the ball at the back, he did not make adjustments and directly took a long pass to find Teixeira. At this time, the game is nearing the end, the Chongqing players are exhausted physically, and Teixeira can complete the kill in a relatively relaxed way.
Extremely fast start-up speed, excellent physical fitness, superb archery... Various factors make Teixeira a "good counter-attacker". At the same time, the excellent overall view of the field has given him more passing vision, and the team's counterattack is therefore more three-dimensional.
Help for the national football team
Although Teixeira's naturalization has long come to an end, we might as well be sure to wonder: if the Brazilian striker had really joined the Chinese national, would he have been able to save the turbulent national football team?
The national football team started 4-1 at the seaport
On January 2, 2020, Li Tie officially took office as the manager of the national football team. In the next two matches against Shanghai Shuangxiong, Li Tie continued to use lippi's favored 433 formation.
In terms of personnel, considering gao Lin's basic withdrawal from the national team after the 2019 Asian Cup in the UNITED Arab Emirates, his central position was thus replaced by naturalized international Axon. In both winger positions, Wei Shihao appeared in the starting left wing position in two consecutive games, and the right winger position used Luo Guofu and Tan Long to start successively.
Back in the Lippi era, in the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian Qualifier Round of 40, the national football team lost points in a row after winning two consecutive wins, and finally could only rank second in Group A with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, as many as 8 points away from Syria at the top of the table.
Facing the Maldives and Guam can be full of firepower, scoring 12 goals in two games, why did they lose points in the face of the slightly stronger Philippines and Syria? I believe that many fans have found the reason: the weakness of the front.
In the match against the Philippines, the national football team mastered 58% of the possession in the whole game, and gave 35 shots on goal, almost 5 times that of the opponent.
With such a high number of shots on goal but not a goal, the dismal offensive efficiency not only reflects the more mediocre opportunity grasp ability of the national football forward, but also reflects the lack of threat ball delivery ability in the midfield.
In the battle against Syria, considering the further enhancement of the opponent's strength, the national football team has lost even the advantage on the scene: although the national football team has reached 52%, the number of shots on goal is only 8, less than Syria's 14, and the number of shots is only 1/4 of Syria.0
Due to the lack of reliable left wingers in the national football team, Lippi chose to pull Axon to the left for a long time and instead let Yang Xu play the role of center forward.
Overall, Axon can indeed effectively control the ball on the wing and assist the full-backs in the back to attack, but he is not a full-fledged winger after all, and the technical characteristics are still biased towards the center who grabs the point to shoot, so the overall performance is difficult to meet people's expectations.
At the same time, due to Axon's departure from the center position, the national football team lacked an absolute sense of Asia's top striker in the middle, which made the quality of the national football team's enveloping shots in the small penalty area and the fulcrum role doubled.
At the same time, the trio sent by the national football team in the midfield also exposed a clear problem: the organizational ability is average.
Chi Zhongguo, who currently plays for Beijing Guoan, is more defensive and has few insertions during the game; Wu Xi's offensive characteristics, although distinct, are not known for organizing and scheduling, but are more inclined to create opportunities through back insertion.
Arthur Junmin, who currently plays for Shandong Luneng, is the strongest of the three, but in the first stage of the Chinese Super League this season, he has averaged only 27.5 passes per game, and can only rank 10th among all players in the same position. More critically, this year's Arthur Junmin is 33 years old, and he will gradually encounter the situation of "declining state" and "lack of physical fitness", when the national football team can find a replacement of the same ability is still unknown.
On the whole, the national football team's usual midfield organization ability is more general, and it is more necessary to have a "midfield commander" who can control the ball for a long time. In the case of a short period of difficulty in finding the right candidate, it is very important to rely on the moderate drawdown of the striker for coordinated organization.
With the rise of Wei Shihao and the naturalization of Alain, the national football team has gradually filled the number of candidates in the left wing forward position. But from another point of view, the technical characteristics of these two players are still biased towards traditional wingers - personal breakthroughs, inward shots, and the retraction organization characteristics that the national football team needs more are not distinct.
As shown in the figure, even in the first stage of Wei Shihao's brilliant performance, his average number of key passes per game, the number of passes per game, and the success rate of passes could not squeeze into the top 10 of the same position; Alain's pass success rate was slightly higher than Wei Shihao's, but the number of key passes and the average number of passes per game could not even enter the top 20 of the same position.
In comparison, Teixeira, who is also a striker, has more distinctive characteristics on the organizational end. As shown in the figure, Teixeira averaged 1.5 key passes per game in the 2019 season, which can rank 3rd in the same position; the average number of passes per game reached 29.4 times, which can be ranked 2nd in the same position. More critically, as a striker, Teixeira has a passing success rate of 84% and a forward-court pass success rate of 78%, ranking 1st and 2nd in the same position, respectively.
From a certain point of view, Teixeira's ability to break through is indeed needed by the national football team, but the naturalized Alain and Fernando can basically complete this demand. In this way, the fully capable Teixeira seems necessary to take on more offensive responsibilities.
As mentioned earlier, Teixeira has played as many as 113 games in her career in the attacking midfield position, far more than the number of times she has appeared in the center and winger positions.
Based on the above situation, we may wish to boldly guess: if Teixeira joined the national football team that year, is it possible to be in an attacking midfield position?
To achieve the above requirements, there is not much complicated position and personnel change. In short, the positions of the seven people in the midfield are not changed, and the three strikers are removed from one to become an attacking midfielder, and the other two forward positions are parallel. As a result, the starting formation of the national football team was changed to the 4312 formation.
In an attacking midfield position, Teixeira does not have to be closely guarded by opposing defenders at all times like a center, and the side is given more room to observe and process the ball. Meanwhile, as the position moves closer to the goal, Teixeira's dribbling breakup will put more pressure on the opponent.
epilogue
It is foreseeable that if Teixeira really joined the national football team that year, he might completely reverse the situation of naturalization powerlessness. After all, as one of the most outstanding foreign aides in the history of the Chinese Super League, Teixeira is far higher than several players who have completed naturalization in the same period, whether in terms of dribbling breakthroughs, threatening ball passing ability or final strike ability.
On the goal, Teixeira may be slightly inferior to Gaulat, and on the direct help given to the national football team, the author believes that Teixeira is better.
The reason is very simple, even if there are several major naturalized internationals, the national football team is still completely defeated in the face of the strong Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, the reason is that the attack is powerless, forcing the defensive pressure to increase exponentially. Therefore, Teixeira's personal ability will become a counter-attack weapon for the national football team under high-intensity defense, and his personal possession of the ball and the threat ball delivery in the counterattack will undoubtedly alleviate the shortcomings of the national football midfield.
What is the most critical link in the counterattack? Some say it's the defender's accurate delivery, some say it's the center's hammer. The author believes that the most critical link is the transfer of ball power from the backfield to the front.
In other words, even if the national football team has Jiang Guangtai, who has experience in the Premier League in the defender line, it is unrealistic to expect him to become the starting point of key passes anytime and anywhere. In most cases, it is even more important to find a reliable receiver in midfield in a more secure way.
If Teixeira joins, the national football team has a top ball transfer person in the process of counterattacking, the defenders do not have to carry out long passes with a low success rate, and the forwards do not have to withdraw sharply to catch the ball, but only need to quickly transfer the ball to Teixeira, who is cruising between the midfield. Facing Japan, Saudi Arabia and even Oman, the midfield is completely out of control, and the problem of not being able to deliver the ball forward may be well solved.
After Teixeira gets the ball, she can either rely on her personal ability to break through continuously, or cooperate with her teammates in the front court, and the layering and diversity of the counterattack are highlighted.
It is foreseeable that if Teixeira was successfully naturalized that year, it would inevitably become the absolute core of the national football team to launch an attack in the midfield. At the moment when the World Cup qualifiers have been folded for many years, Teixeira will undoubtedly inject a booster into the success of the national football team to impact the World Cup. Perhaps, missing the naturalization of Teixeira is the biggest failure of the national football naturalization event.
