Muzi watching the tiger fight | In the case that Wu Lei has limited injuries to the enemy and more self-damage, it is good to be able to get a draw

After the penalty in the last game, it is self-evident what kind of difficulties the Chinese team will encounter in this Asian Cup.

Therefore, given that the last game will be against the host, then this game against Lebanon has become a battle of life and death to a certain extent, and if the Chinese team wants to qualify, it is best to win this game.

However, this goal will not be so easy to achieve, whether judging by Lebanon's performance against the hosts in the opening match or by the national football team's performance against Tajikistan.

And to put it bluntly, we want to qualify, and the Lebanese think so too.

Based on this consideration, Jankovic still made some adjustments in this game.

This adjustment does not refer to the personnel level, Xu Xin and Zhang Yuning appeared, but in the basic offensive and defensive balance, Jankovic slightly recovered.

This is reflected in the fact that after the kick-off, Liu Binbin, who would be pressed forward without the ball in the last game, completely played a standard right wingback in the first half, and will always fall on Zhang Linpeng's side when he is without the ball:

This consideration is likely to be from the opponent's point of view.

Of course, Lebanon is not strong, but the national football team itself is not strong, so you have to defend, when the opponent also plays into a back three, and there will be wingbacks on the side to attack, you need to give the current Zhang Linpeng a certain amount of protection.

However, in this way, the national football team will face greater difficulties when moving forward.

The reason is very simple: in the last game, Liu Binbin often started in the full-back position, so in this game he started in a much lower position, so many times, the striker can't count on a helper on his side to quickly pick up.

To put it bluntly, the striker has to do the work himself.

However, in the first 3 minutes, the two forwards of the national football team failed to take the ball with their backs three times:

Even Zhang Yuning, who came off the bench in the last game and was praised by the fans after the game, basically didn't take advantage of it, but there was nothing wrong with this, because Jankovic could easily make the decision to replace him.

The head coach treats you as a consumable, and Zhang Yuning can't say anything.

At the back, the Chinese team also exposed the problem of the last game, Lebanon pressed up, there was no midfielder to pick up, and our defenders tended to make the least risky decision: drop the ball and fall to the front.

After all, if you don't do this, even if the opponent is pressing with average strength, you may make mistakes:

However, compared with the previous game, the national football team still has a little more confidence, so in the 11th minute, it was still able to play such a push:

That's pretty good.

However, in this situation where they can basically draw with their opponents, it is the Lebanese team who take the lead in threatening attacks.

In the 24th minute of the game, Lebanon sent a big foot to the forward line, and our midfield fell back too slowly, causing Lebanon to win two points and shoot directly from the outside:

Next, Liu Yang lost to his opponent in the confrontation and allowed Lebanon to play a cross from the right and head over the crossbar:

However, the quality of our attack was not high during the same period, which exposed the core problem of our game: there was a big problem with the system in the attacking end.

In this game, Jankovic's arrangement order on the offensive end is that Zhang Yuning is responsible for breaking forward, Dai Weijun plays the side midfield, and Liu Binbin falls back to form a defensive system with his teammates in the midfield.

Enjoying such a favorable tactical environment, Wu Lei should play the most comprehensive tactical ability to feed the consumption of his teammates, but in the 11th minute of the game, you can find the problem:

In the case of no one in front of him, Wu Lei, who can dribble the ball forward, must pass the ball out as soon as possible, not only to pass Liu Binbin, who sprinted up from behind, but also to pass it big.

In this goal, the problem exposed is that Wu Lei has little confidence in his ball skills and physical ability, so it is the same as the idea of the defenders who will open their feet as soon as they encounter a rush:

Even if you drop the ball, try not to fall on me.

When your stars are in place, but you hold such a moon, you can't count on many things.

For example, this one:

Zhang Yuning broke the ball, Wu Lei also shook the opponent in the first step, and then at least continue to dribble the ball to the corner flag area, continue to seize the depth, so that the teammates who came up from behind were diagonally interspersed with ribs and the middle, but he chose to slow down the pace and wait for his teammates to come up.

Another example is this ball:

When Zhang Yuning had already formed a fulcrum on the strong side and handed the ball to Wu Lei, who had no one next to him and was empty in front of him, he chose to dribble the ball horizontally and continued to hand it to Liu Binbin, and then the offensive rhythm slowed down again.

Don't forget, Liu Binbin was a wingback in the first half.

The tactical second striker, the status of the leading star, as soon as he gets the ball, he looks for a wingback, how can this attack be a threat?

The problem caused by this is that the right half of the fan where Wu Lei is located has been consuming Liu Binbin, and all this is based on the fact that the protective power on Zhang Linpeng's side may be reduced.

Just like in the 34th minute, the goal kick in the backfield of the national football team came out, Zhang Yuning fought for a point, and then Wu Lei lost two points, and Lebanon hit Zhang Linpeng's side with a big foot, and the latter stumbled and sent a corner kick:

This corner kick turned into this defensive pressure in the end:

Before that, Lebanon tested the defense of the national football team with such a counterattack:

In stoppage time in the first half, Lebanon also broke the ball in the center circle, and a big foot hit Zhang Linpeng's side again, and the Lebanese captain's long-range shot hit the goal:

If the national football team's offense wants to play, you have to count on Dai Weijun, who was originally the third person to attack, and he needs to frequently fiddle with his left ribs and left side, which can only be regarded as a solid basic skill, so as to create an attack for the national football team:

The threatening attack of the national football team in the first half was played like this.

So where the tactical problems of the national football team lie are actually very clear.

Wu Lei is good as a wingman, but his ball-carrying skills make him unable to play the core position, especially at this age, without the speed advantage, he is even less worthy of this tactical position.

Even if you look at the front three of the national football team from the most rough point of view, the three elements of strength, speed, and technique, Zhang Yuning and Dai Weijun can barely account for strength and technology, and the current Wu Lei and speed are not on the edge.

However, it is difficult for you to tick off Wu Lei on the starting list, not only because the status of the team is so simple, but from a technical point of view, he is indeed the best person in the offensive end of the national football team in front of the goal, and the data can also support this.

Otherwise, you can't explain the reason why Wu Lei just appeared on the landing point in this set-piece in the second half:

It's just that you have a good sense of smell, and you may not be able to lick the ball in, just like in the second half in the 65th minute of this corner kick:

So even if the performance in the first half was so bad, Wu Lei almost became the goal hero of the national football team, but the reason why the national football team was able to get this corner kick opportunity was actually created by Liu Binbin through sprinting:

When Wu Lei can't do his job and can't score goals, he can indeed be replaced, because if you replace him, you may not be able to seize the opportunity, but if you don't replace him, the backcourt may collapse.

Because in the 52nd minute, Lebanon played another threatening attack:

So Jankovic has a little bit of a good thing, he can see this problem, the last game was changed for Wu Lei in the 70-minute range, and this game was changed for Wu Lei in the 60-minute range.

In this way, the backfield can be saved, and after the Lebanese offense gradually declines, the possibility of the Chinese team losing is greatly reduced, and the only suspense is whether it can win? In other words, can it seize the opportunity?

The result was the same as the last game, and it really couldn't seize the opportunity:

This is the end of the game.

It is a pity not to win against Lebanon, because the national football team in this game is obviously not as nervous as the last game, especially in the first half, and the players' self-confidence has still risen, so in the first and second halves, the national football team can play a little routine.

But that's what you have, and it's not enough to test your opponent in a single ball, especially when your core players are actually hurting yourself more than attacking them.

The shortcomings are even more obvious.

And this point was mentioned as early as the World Preliminary Tournament in South Korea:

Therefore, all the hardware can hope for is adjustment.

Note that we are talking about the adjustment itself, not the specific person who is adjusting up. The adjustment can make the national football team recover a little physical fitness, show their slight advantage in strength, and more importantly, the adjustment can make up for the mistakes that the national football team has to make in the starting stage, which is the advantage of the national football team in these two games.

But when mistakes are made up, it doesn't necessarily lead to scoring goals and winning, because the game is not something that one team is playing, you want to win and the opponent doesn't.

It's bound to lead to something being well concealed, but I would say that it's just two draws, it's still hard-won.
