Muzi watching the tiger fight | After not losing in the first 60 minutes and not winning in the next 30 minutes, the national football team had to accept a 0-0 draw

Although after a long training camp, it is difficult to say that the Chinese team is ready.

Because the recent form of the Chinese team is quite erratic.

The previous warm-up match loss to Hong Kong, China, made the coach of the first opponent, Tajikistan, even suspect that it was a smoke bomb deliberately lit by Jankovic. The broadcast of the anti-corruption documentary once again revealed the dark background of Chinese football, and the media found that the emotions of the players were not high enough.

Therefore, in the first game, the pressure of the Chinese team, which has never lost but is not familiar with the Central Asian team, is extremely difficult, and this pressure comes from both inside and outside the field.

The only way to relieve yourself is to be yourself.

However, all this is not so easy.

After the opening, the Chinese team still adhered to the tactics of switching between three and four defenders created by Jankovic, and when there was no ball, Liu Binbin played in the position of fullback, forming a 442 position:

When there is the ball, Liu Binbin will pull to the side, and at the same time, Liu Yang will step forward sharply, forming a back three position:

As we mentioned in the World Qualifiers, Jankovic's idea is that he doesn't want to lose the pressure and control of the perimeter space when he is off the ball, but at the same time, he doesn't want to invest too much manpower in the attack, so as to lose the balance between attack and defense.

But whether such a tactical purpose can be formed, the core still depends on the performance of the players.

Just four minutes into the game, Tajikistan played a cross through a combination in the front:

From the beginning of this ball conversion, the old problems of the national football team began to go online.

After the defender line gets the ball, the midfield does not return, the front court cannot guarantee a little scramble efficiency, and the three lines cannot form a close whole, so the defender can only put a long pass, and then lose one and two points, and give the ball to the opponent.

The official match is so cruel, once or twice later, Tajikistan immediately perceives the fear of the national football players when they do the action, this fear comes from their own limited strength, from the rigid execution of tactics, and of course, from excessive mental pressure.

Even if you can occasionally play sporadic attacks:

However, such a performance does not trigger a positive cycle, but rather a player's mistakes trigger a negative cycle, making the player more afraid to make moves on the field.

Especially when Zhang Linpeng, who is the captain, and Jiang Guangtai, who is a naturalized player, also make mistakes, who else dares to take more?

In short, the mistakes of the national football team began to become more and more frequent, and Tajikistan began its own offensive and captured the tactical problems of the national football team.

From the 14th minute of the game, Tajikistan can feel the flaws in the defensive width of the national football team:

And in the area where Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Guangtai are located, it has become easier to get in:

As the pressure mounted, the national football team became afraid to get close to themselves and get down in the core area, which allowed Tajikistan to play two threatening attacks in the 24th-26th minutes of the game:

Fortunately, when the pressure of the Chinese team was at its highest, there was an injury on the field, and the national football players were able to come to the sidelines to drink water, gain some confidence from the sidelines, and relieve their bodies.

This pause is not an exaggeration to say that it saved the first half of the national football team.

After returning, the national football team not only calmed down rarely, but also played the wing attack that Jankovic wanted:

At one point, he also formed his own threat attack in corner kick attacks:

However, with the tightness of the formation and forward pressure, Tajikistan still has no shortage of attacking opportunities, and they can still hit the weak areas of the national football team:

And you can still hit the weak side with a lateral transfer:

Therefore, the operation problem of the national football team still exists, but it can't attack in the first half, and it can't defend in the second half.

And at this time, Jiang Guangtai showed signs of hamstring strain.

Coming back in the second half, Jiang Guangtai chose to persevere, and the physical recovery of the national football team in the locker room did not allow their performance to recover in the first half of the second half, and there were many dangers:

At this time, the only way is to make substitutions.

From this point of view, Jankovic is at least one of the national football team consciousness, he replaced Tan Long and Wang Qiuming with Zhang Yuning and Xu Xin in the 58th minute.

This makes the national football team have the possibility of a fulcrum in the front court, and the control and coverage of the midfield are also expected to improve, although they are all possibilities, but at least the physical aspect is a real supplement, so after the substitution, the Chinese team has the opportunity to play in the front court, and even played a chance:

Tasting the sweetness, Jankovic continued to shoot in the 72nd minute, replacing Dai Weijun and Wu Lei with Lin Liangming and Xie Pengfei.

And when the national football team has changed four players, the Tajikistan coach did not keep up with the rhythm, which allowed the national football team to have the upper hand at the end of the second half, especially on the left side:

In the 79th minute, Xu Xin's long-range shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper:

In this corner kick attack, Zhu Chenjie scored with a header:

Although it was finally determined by VAR that Jiang Guangtai profited from an offside position, the reversal of the situation of the national football team is still very clear, not to mention that even after suffering the blow of the goal being blown away, the national football team actually still has the hope of scoring:

But if you don't grasp it, there's no way.

In the end, the Chinese team and Tajikistan shook hands, and both sides could only start the group stage with the host with 1 point, and the competition was bound to continue to the final round.

Tactically speaking, both teams also played good balls for a period of time. Tajikistan won half a hand in the starting stage, making full use of the lack of strength of the national football players, and the inability to control the high-level tactics of switching between three and four defenders under the intensity of the Asian Cup.

However, if you can't grasp the opportunity like the national football team, you can't rely on others.

And on our side, it's pretty much the same.

The tactical execution that could be seen in the round of 36 and friendly matches before arrived on the stage of the Asian Cup, immediately showed its original shape, and did not collapse on the spot, thanks to the grace of Tajikistan in the oil under its feet.

This made the national football team persist until Jankovic's adjustment stage, and Tajikistan did not follow the substitution, which also made the adjustment of the national football team show a certain power.

Of course, the referee's decision will cause controversy after the game, but the problem is that the national football team can only try to create chances in the 30 minutes of the adjustment stage, which is not destined to be too many, not enough to completely crush the opponent.

In that case, a draw is a very reasonable result, because when we are here to play a game of referees, Tajikistan can also curse itself for stinky feet.

We didn't lose the first 60 minutes, Tajikistan didn't lose the last 30 minutes, and everyone has a future.
