The national football team U23 welcomes the "battle of life and death" tonight in the face of a strong opponent South Korea
At 23 o'clock tonight, the second round of the Asian Cup group stage of China U23 Olympic vs South Korea U23 can be called a battle of life and death. For the national football team U23, if they suffer another defeat, then the result of the group exit will be quickly locked. While this is in line with most people's predictions, no one would want to see such a situation so early. In contrast, South Korea's U23s are even better than Japan's U23s, so how can they get points?
This question seems to be unsolvable when you think about it at a cursory glance, but after careful study, it can be seen that the Taiji Tigers youth team is not flawless. As long as Cheng Yaodong uses good people, uses the right people, and has a targeted layout, the national football U23 still has a chance.
South Korea is full of self-confidence and its strength is indeed good
Looking at the various statements of South Korea's U23, whether it is the head coach former international Hwang Sunhong (the coach who temporarily led South Korea), or the captain fullback Yoo Jun-so, they all clearly expressed to reporters that they want to win the championship. In the face of Japan, they are all full of confidence, not to mention the fourth-level "weak team" opponent of the VS national football team.
South Korea certainly have the strength to say that, and although they have several youngsters who have traveled to Europe and have not returned to play (the club has not allowed players to come back at all), they are still worth a total of 10 million euros, which is the same level as Japan and the leading role in the entire team. Several key people in the team, such as Zheng Xiangbin, Hong Yunsang, Bai Xiangxun, etc., are also young people with great potential, and their strength cannot be underestimated, and arrogance is inevitable.
The style is on the old-school side and likes confrontation
After appreciating the performance of the South Korean team in the first game and warm-up matches, you will find that Hwang Sun-hong's style of play is still relatively old-fashioned. He encouraged his players to punch and lunge, using their familiar confrontation advantage and physical advantage to create opportunities. It's really "Korean" like when they play. Of course, South Korea has no opponent in playing this game in Asia. Even if it is West Asia and Iran, if you meet them, you have to peel off your skin, not to mention the team of the national football team at the U23 level.
In the first leg of the VS Japan competition, the national football team U23 showed decent ability in terms of confrontation, at least in the confrontation, it will not back down, and it will not suffer for the time being. In particular, the two strong offensive points of Baihelam and Tao Qianglong, which are especially true, is good news. It's just that the problem in the middle lane is still relatively big, whether it is Jia Feifei, Xie Wenneng, Duan Dezhi, etc., they seem to be more afraid of contact, if the Taiji Tiger arranges a targeted attack here, Cheng Yaodong must catch it, otherwise it will be perfectly dismantled by the enemy.
Another point is that in terms of game design, the speed of the Taiji Tiger through the middle is extremely fast, and the speed of dividing to the two wings is also extremely fast, for which the national football U23 must keep up and not be dragged down by the speed of the enemy. Maintaining the speed and running is fundamental.
Targeted placement will bring opportunities
Of course, no matter how good the Taiji Tigers are, they must still be young people, and their stability is really not very good. The first game VS UAE was very leading, and the situation of winning and losing was not decided until the end of the game, which many green fans did not expect at all. In this regard, Cheng Yaodong can study and make use of it, if he can force 1 point on them, it will be a good result. Although the strength of the national football team U23 is definitely a disadvantage, Australia U23 also lost and was defeated by Indonesia. This will also bring some confidence to the national football team, after all, young people are unstable.
In addition, more freedom should be given to Tao Qianglong. In the first game VS Japan game, Tao Qianglong obviously showed better advantages and abilities than other players, and he was one of the few advantages of the Chinese team. VS South Korea If you want to break the goal, it is estimated that it still depends on him, Cheng Yaodong should design a suitable item for him, whether it is side help or support in the middle, it must be right to encourage Tao Qianglong to shoot independently.
Also, Xie Wenneng's back insertion advantage is not small, and he almost created a miracle in the VS Japan match. For this point, can Cheng Yaodong also give more opportunities?
