If you put it a few years ago, a Chinese football player went abroad to stay in the West, what was the first impression on everyone?
It is the recognition of his strength that has won the appreciation of foreign clubs, so he has the opportunity to stay in the ocean. Like the previous football predecessors Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, and later Wu Lei and so on.
But what is the reason for Chinese players staying in the West? Strength is no longer the first, and cooperation and interests have gradually occupied the first factor. On this point, the author would like to explain: due to the overall decline in the level of Chinese football in recent years, there are few outstanding players, but in order to be able to cultivate some excellent players as soon as possible, the Football Association uses its own relationship and influence to actively seek cooperation with foreign clubs to promote the status quo of players staying in the world.
But is such a way of staying in the west really worth advocating? Can it really improve the level of the players? Let's start with a Chinese Super League game that just ended.
Shandong Taishan team defeated the Cangzhou Lions 2:0, whether it is paper strength or impromptu play, Taishan team won this game, basically without any controversy. However, after the game, the fans aimed their spearhead at the team's frontline fighter Guo Tianyu!
"What a kick!"
"After Guo Tianyu came on, he liberated a central defender from his opponent!"
"At this level, there are still yangs?"
Even the famous football commentator Yuan Jia complained on social media that "seeing Guo Tianyu's current appearance, I really want to scold"! (The main meaning is that the past six months of living in the west, not only did not learn anything, but fell to such a point)
So in this game, is Guo Tianyu's performance really so bad? We may be able to find some answers from the relevant data. Came on as a substitute in the 57th minute of the second half, scoring 0 goals and 0 assists in 33 minutes; There was a 1-foot shot on goal, but not within range of the frame; 1 attempt was made, but was cut off by the opponent; The pass success rate reaches 94%, mostly back passes; There was a successful break on the defensive end; There were also 3 fouls and 5 conceded possessions.
If the data isn't intuitive enough, look at a few more sets of shots:
In the 60th minute, Shandong Taishan suddenly changed its rhythm, and the middle road was directly blocked, directly penetrating the defense of the Cangzhou Lions side. After Jin Jingdao took the ball, he simply coordinated two over one, directly broke through to the bottom line, and inverted the triangle to pass to the middle. There is no one to defend in front of Guo Tianyu inserted in the middle of the penalty area, only Park Shihao behind him is interfering, but he has no physical advantage, it can be said that as long as Guo Tianyu touches the ball at the front point, the probability is 99% that he will score. Unfortunately, Guo Tianyu did touch the ball, but an extremely rare 1% happened, and the ball deflected out of the far upright. Guo Tianyu, who regretted missing the opportunity, lay on the ground and kept regretting it.
In the 76th minute, after shandong Taishan team defended the opponent's attack in the backcourt, Moises in the middle of the road took the ball and quickly launched a counterattack, an accurate long pass, directly found Guo Tianyu who was inserted in front. At this time, Guo Tianyu only had a defensive player by his side, Chen Zhongliu, whether it was confrontation or physical fitness, Guo Tianyu had the absolute upper hand. However, Chen Zhongliu accidentally knocked Guo Tianyu to the ground in the physical confrontation between the two, and the referee did not have any indication. This scene is lamentable, you must know that last season, Guo Tianyu as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, even in the face of foreign aid confrontation, is not left behind, why is it now falling into such a field.
Physical confrontation is not dominant, the shot can not find the crosshair, lost the fulcrum role of the frontcourt, did not see the explosive power of the past, those unique 4 highlight technology characteristics, now only memory remains.
After the game, head coach Hao Wei looked for a reason for Guo Tianyu's poor form: he had not played a game for half a year, and he still needed time to adjust.
Perhaps Hao Wei did not want the young Guo Tianyu to bear too much pressure, so he verbally protected his love.
But we still have to ask sharply:
To put it bluntly, if Shandong Taishan can't win the championship this season, Guo Tianyu will definitely be partly responsible. The reasons why this is so are as follows:
Shandong Taishan team was once considered to be the favorite to win this season, but it was not expected that the sudden rise of the three towns in Wuhan made the Taishan team take a breath of cold air. Now with four points in the standings, no one dared to make a mistake with two teams so consistent, especially The Tarzans. It is foreseeable that this season's championship competition will certainly be very anxious, and it may eventually be within one or two games.
In fact, the Taishan team can completely form a balanced situation with the three towns of Wuhan in terms of points, but because the personnel changes this season are too large, the new signings have not been integrated into the team in time, so the first stage is more passive. Although the record is barely acceptable, the process is not too ideal, especially the performance on the offensive line, if it were not for The accumulation of Krisan, the current Taishan team may have been completely pulled apart by the three towns of Wuhan.
Here we are very necessary to talk about Guo Tianyu, if Xiao Guo did not go to Liuyang, has been training with the team, continuing the good state of last season, then the previous two defeats, may not exist. The two games that were lost were mainly due to the lack of strength of the front line, resulting in a situation where the team passively lost. When I think about it now, I am still very sorry and unwilling.
Going abroad to stay in the west would have been a good thing, but Xiao Guo's stay in the ocean was like a farce.
What is most important for young players? It must be a stable playing time, and having a game kick is the first consideration. At the age when you are growing your skills, sitting on the cold bench, or always training with the right team, but not having the opportunity to play, it is tantamount to wasting your talent.
For Guo Tianyu, if he wants to improve his ability level, do you have to stay in Yang? Definitely not, because if you can learn their essence, then don't say the main team, the main forward of the national football team, even if it is to go to the five major leagues is no longer a dream, these two people are:
One is the previous Italian gun Pele, and the other team's striker "Fried Chicken" Cressan.
These two people have the same attributes as Guo Tianyu, that is, they are both high school forwards, have excellent physical fitness, and are good at doing fulcrum and header bombing.
But there is a big difference between Pele and Kressan:
Pele is the kind of pure penalty area fulcrum, what we call a traditional high school striker. He stands in the penalty area as a great threat, with his own tactical system. You can score your own header, or you can use your own fulcrum to create opportunities for your teammates, which is very similar to Guo Tianyu.
Guo Tianyu and Pele once intersected, but at that time, Xiao Guo was more shy. If at that time, Guo Tianyu could learn the essence of high school striker in Pele, the attack power of the Taishan team would be even more terrifying. In addition, Guo Tianyu is slightly better than Pele in terms of explosive power, so it is also a pity that Xiao Guo did not fully understand the technical characteristics of Pele at the beginning.
And now that Kresan, who has scored a lot of goals, what technical characteristics are worth learning from Guo Tianyu?
Although Kressan is a high school striker, his technical characteristics are biased towards foot technique. He likes to dribble and pass, don't look at the Krisan people are tall and big, but his ability to dribble the ball is wonderful! Whether it is a breakthrough on the wing or a pass in the middle, almost every game has a relevant camera display, which is pleasing to the eye.
In the second half of the Face Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Taishan launched a counterattack, and after Kleisan took the ball in midfield, he used flexible foot technology to break through the four-man chase and interception all the way, and was finally stopped by the opposing defender with a foul. And this game faced the Cangzhou lions, in the 14th minute, the left side of the front and Moises continued to cooperate, broke through the two people's sandwich defense, directly into the penalty area, again faced the double defense, a fake action deceived the two, and finally almost scored!
This is the alternative shining point of a high school striker like Cressan!
Therefore, we still have to say to Guo Tianyu that staying in Yang is not the only way to improve yourself, if you can learn Pele's center forward technique and the current Kresan's foot technique, then will your ability be stronger?
In the end, we believe that Guo Tianyu's state will be found back sooner or later, but we must be fully prepared psychologically. Kressan's state is so good, and the effect of the team's single striker is also good, once Guo Tianyu plays, whether he can echo Kressan and achieve the effect of 1+1>2, we are not sure. At least in the last two games, we haven't seen effective contact and cooperation between the two.
If the two don't achieve the desired forward effect, then Hao Wei will definitely give priority to Klessan, and Guo Tianyu may only serve as a substitute, replacing the team when it needs to score, when the simple and rough header bombardment. Of course, this kind of result is the last thing we want to see, after all, everyone wants Guo Tianyu to occupy a main seat and return to the heroic state of last season.
How long it will take, no one can know, only Guo Tianyu has worked hard to fight for it. (PS: Xiao Guo's figure is slightly blessed, and it is really time to strengthen training.) ）
