In about 15 days, the battle between the "home" of the national football team and Oman in the round of 12 will be launched. Everyone understands that this is the "battle of life and death" of the national football team. If you can beat your opponent, there is still hope for qualifying. Conversely, it is likely that only theoretical possibilities remain. Due to the epidemic, it is very likely that the home stadium will not be guaranteed and forced to move to West Asia. It has previously been reported that Sharjah in the UAE is more likely.
To this end, the Oman Football Association delegation recently "visited" the United Arab Emirates, nominally to "strengthen cooperation between the two football associations" and to inspect the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers. But everyone knows that the Oman Football Association is not drunk on this trip, the most important thing should be that if the national football home is placed in Sharjah, it will almost become half of the home stadium of others.
So, how should the national football team play in this game to beat the opponent and take all 3 points? I think at least two things should be done:
First, carefully study and analyze opponents to find out their weaknesses
The so-called know thyself and know thyself, never lose a battle. To defeat the opponent, you must first understand the opponent and find its weaknesses; secondly, you must understand yourself, know the strengths and weaknesses of the players, and then take a targeted approach. Through the first 4 games, it can be seen that the current strength of this Omani team is indeed relatively strong, at least not below the national football team.
From the perspective of these 4 games, Oman and Saudi Arabia have more similarities in attack, that is, the overall tactical quality of the team is higher, the players have good personal skills, the offensive advancement speed is very fast, and the high pressing ability is strong. However, its weakness is also more obvious, that is, it concedes a lot of goals, there are very large loopholes in the defensive system, and it is easy to have insufficient concentration during the game. He scored 5 goals in 4 games, but conceded 5 goals, making him the third-largest team besides Vietnam and The National Enough.
What are Oman's defensive weaknesses?
1. The left side of the defense becomes a weak rib. Here's a brief recap of Oman's five goals conceded: September 7, the battle against Saudi Arabia. In the 41st minute, the opponent crossed diagonally to the right, which then crossed forward. In the process of these 3 passes, Oman blocked the players but the pressure was obviously not enough, and there seemed to be a slack in defense. As a result, the second Saudi player easily crossed the ball into the box with his left foot, Muwarrad did the ball directly on his heels at the front point, and Sheikhri whipped a shot through the pockets of four defenders to establish the victory.
In the 8th minute of the match against Australia on 7 October, a cross from the right side of the Australian front was met by Oman's centre-backs, and Mabil scored in the penalty area. In the 48th minute, Australia sent a sideline ball on the right side of the field, and the three people cooperated and was snatched by the opponent. However, Oman's defenders were not decisive in the ball, and after being snatched by Australia, they went down to the bottom of the triangle and made a triangle back, and Boyle snatched the header in front of the goal before the opposing centre-back was released. In the 88th minute, a direct pass from the Australian midline, after a second pass, hit the right side of the front of the penalty area, the two combined with the cross, Duke pushed the next city.
On October 12, Oman's 3-1 vietnam battle, in the 38th minute, the Vietnamese midfielder's long pass was hoisted into the box, the center-back's header released the ball to the top of the gourd, and the teammates then crossed the ball to the left side of the side. The moment the ball landed, omani left-backs and Vietnamese right-sided attackers were about 1:2 from the ball. As a result, the Vietnamese player preemptively broke the ball and hit the goal on the right side of the opponent's penalty area, and the Omani goalkeeper saved the ball and was scored by Nguyen Thanh Ling.
Simple analysis:
Oman conceded 4 of these five goals were related to left-back or left-back defence.
(1) Conceded goals with Saudi Arabia, the left-back (or left-back player) first misjudged the intentions of the attacking players, not sure whether the opponent was going to break through or cross, hesitated slightly, and even stopped the action at the moment of grabbing, and the opponent easily got the cross and assisted the teammates to score.
(2) The second goal conceded with Australia was more pronounced. It was the opponent's front court to send a sideline ball, and Oman gathered a large number of players from both sides in the half, and the formation was very dense. After the first steal is successful, Oman should be able to break the siege and at least kick the ball out of the sideline. However, the two Omani players actually passed the ball to each other in a small space, and the result was that the opponent successfully grabbed the ball and eventually conceded the goal. The third goal conceded was also a very big hole in the left side of the defense. When the opponent went back to the bottom, Oman's left-back and left-centre-back had actually implemented a double block, but the "closing" was not tight, resulting in the opponent's assist.
(3) The goal conceded against Vietnam clearly reflected the weakness of Oman's left side defense. Of course, the reason for conceding the ball is first of all that the back is too arbitrary, and the ball is very sloppy to pass the ball to the left side of the side without defense, but the left-back and another teammate may have made a mistake in coordination. The former may think that the teammates who are closer to the ball will ask for the ball, but the latter will run in the direction of the attack. But even so, Oman's left-backs are much closer to the ball than the Vietnamese attacking players (No. 13). If he is quick and determined to grab it, it is entirely possible to get the ball first. As a result, the "if" did not happen, Oman conceded a goal first.
2. The centre-back defense turns slowly. The first goal conceded in the battle with Australia, the opponent's cross landing point is indeed very tricky, but Oman first made a big mistake when deploying, the right-back grabbed the position and "collided" with the center-back, and the hasty left foot was not far from being "picked up" by Mabil. In fact, there was an attacking player at the far end of Australia who was already undefended, and if the front point was missed, the player had the opportunity to play empty.
The third goal was conceded, when the number of attacking and defending sides in the penalty area was 6v4, and Oman had the advantage. But the "closing" of the left centre-back and the left-back is also arbitrary, and the moment the other side returns, the left centre-back actually dodges away, and there is a huge gap in the defense. When Duke finally shot, Oman's center-back (No. 6) didn't even react. In fact, in the 82nd minute, the Australian cross from the right was met by no. 15 who pressed No. 6's header slightly off target. Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, Oman's center-back made two fatal mistakes in succession.
Of course, the two games that Oman lost were not all the fault of the defenders, nor were they entirely blamed on the left-back or the centre-back. But judging from these few goals conceded, Oman's defensive line is indeed an opportunity for the national football team.
Second, how to make a move? It is recommended to recruit in the Han Chao and attack the opponent's right side
Some media revealed that the battle between the national football team and Oman is very likely to use the 4231 formation, and the left and right wingers are Wu Lei and Liu Binbin. To some extent, Li Tie should have studied his opponent very carefully and also saw the opponent's weakness. To put it bluntly, it is to tear apart the opponent's side defense with speed, and then use Axon's mid-way attack to find a chance to break the goal.
As a winger, Liu Binbin has played in Taishan in recent seasons mainly as a substitute for Wu Xinghan or Jin Jingdao. Realistically speaking, Liu Binbin has played more resolutely on the side road than Wu Xinghan or Jin Jingdao. And compared to these two main players, Liu Binbin has more offensive means, such as more decisive shots near the inner cut and the big penalty area, and a long-range shot. In terms of defense, Liu Binbin's retreat is also deeper, sometimes even following the opponent back to the defense until the backcourt of his own side.
But Liu Binbin has a disadvantage, working with his teammates relatively little. In a word, he seems to have a hard time separating into the team. On the other hand, perhaps because of the long-term substitution, Liu Binbin's play is not stable, and sometimes even appears to be outside the system and almost invisible. In this regard, he and Wu Xinghan have similarities.
Personally, I think that if Liu Binbin starts as a right winger, it will have certain benefits for the balance of the right side of the national football team. But offensively, it's not necessarily the best option. If Luo Guofu is not physical enough to play 90 minutes, he can play the first half and use his personal breakthrough ability to attack the opponent's weak defense on the left side. Wait until the score is ahead, or after Luo Guofu's physical fitness has declined, he will use Liu Binbin as a substitute to continue to attack his left side with speed, so that the opponent's left side is in the middle of the wind.
In addition, I personally believe that urgently summoning Yu Hanchao may be the best way.
Like Liu Binbin, Yu Hanchao can also be competent in the left and right flanks. Although the age is already on the older side, there are only two games in November, especially the extremely targeted Oman battle, and the left-footed Yu Hanchao's advantage in playing right winger will be more obvious. As a relatively pure winger, Liu Binbin's way of handling the ball after the breakthrough is much simpler than that of Yu Hanchao, and the desire to shoot and the ability to score cannot be compared with the latter. That is to say, the right winger is mainly used for Han Chao and Luo Guofu, each playing half, and its effect may be much better than using Liu Binbin. In contrast, the confrontation and defensive ability of these 3 players is also the strongest in the HanChao.
Yu Hanchao also has a very obvious advantage in the field, since Li Tie became the coach, he has never been selected for the national team. If he suddenly appears in the starting right winger position, it is possible to receive the effect of "surprise soldier", thus catching the opponent off guard. And when the opponent wakes up and wants to strengthen the left side defense, Wu Lei and others on the other side will "attack". If you lose sight of one or the other, the other party may be in chaos.
If Yu Hanchao can join the team, I think the starting lineup of the Sino-Argentine war should be arranged as follows:
Forward: Axon
Avant-garde: Wu Lei, Wu Xi, Yu Hanchao (Luo Guofu)
Back: Arthur Junmin, Chi Zhongguo
Defenders: Gao Zhunyi, Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shenchao
Goalkeeper: Yan Junling
If Arthur Junmin is injured or in poor shape, Wu Xi returns to the back and Alain starts at the front. With this lineup, there should be a fight with Oman. Or, after half-time, or during the game, the positions of the two wingers on the left and right can be constantly swapped to disrupt the opposing defensive system.
All in all, if the bold use of personnel and proper tactics, the on-site command has no major mistakes, and the possibility of defeating Oman is not small. Such a crucial battle, will Li Tie make changes? Worth looking forward to.
