Chapter 8: Press and Kick!
Since it was a warm-up match, there was not much competition involved.
There was no process of walking out of the player tunnel. After changing clothes, they went directly to their respective half.
Chinese team (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Tong Lei.
Defenders: Zhuoyue, Gao Leiliang, Liu Kairui, Guan Zhe.
Midfielders: Guo Liang, Le Kai, Yu Hao.
Forwards: Chen Man, Wang Yi, Jia Zhenhua.
Japanese team (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Kawashima Eiji.
Defenders: Nagatomo Yuto, Morishige Masato, Yoshida Maya, Uchida Atsuto.
Midfielders: Kagawa Shinji, Hasebe Makoto, Honda Keisuke, Yamaguchi Hotaru, Okazaki Shinji.
Forward: Osako Yuya.
"Hello, everyone. This is CCTV-5 broadcasting the World Cup warm-up match, China vs. Japan."
"The Chinese team is wearing red jerseys and shorts, and the Japanese team is wearing blue jerseys and white shorts!"
"Both sides have brought out their best lineups, and it is obvious that they are all paying attention to this warm-up match."
After Duan Xuan finished speaking, his commentary partner Tao Wei also said:
"Liu Laoshuai's Chinese team is going to play a defensive counterattack. From this position, it can be seen that Lekai and Liu Kairui form a protective role for the midfield and backcourt. At the same time, they use Lekai's passing ability to find Chen Man or Jia Zhenhua, and use their speed to move forward at high speed to form a fast counterattack formation."
"In this lineup, Lekai is a key point!"
"Both offense and defense require Lekai's performance. We can focus more on Lekai to see if he can continue his excellent performance in the Premier League."
As soon as the voice fell, the game had already begun!
The Japanese team took the lead in kicking off.
After the Japanese team kicked off, forwards such as Wang Yi and Chen Man rushed over and began to press in the opponent's half.
This high-pressure pressing tactic always puts a lot of pressure on the opponent.
Of course, the Chinese team in the past lacked awareness of high-pressure pressing and failed to form a linkage pressing.
But since Lekai joined and made some changes, their pressing pressure has been sufficient.
As soon as Shinji Kagawa got the ball, Jia Zhenhua and Guo Liang rushed over and wanted to counter-grab on the spot.
Shinji Kagawa raised his head and wanted to pass forward, but he saw Lekai just blocking the passing path.
"Return the ball!"
Someone called, and Shinji Kagawa immediately returned the ball.
Lekai also moved slowly towards the middle, but his head kept swinging to observe.
After the opening, the Chinese team continued to press in the frontcourt, and the pressure to strengthen was very high.
This made the Japanese team a little uncomfortable, after all, the Chinese team did not play pressing like this before.
As soon as the game started, the Chinese team began to play a pressing style, which surprised many people.
They thought that the Chinese team would maintain the Italian-style turtle shell tactics, but they didn't expect that they played quite actively.
Duan Xuan was even more surprised; "The Chinese team pressed forward! Although the Japanese team was passing the ball, you can see that every pass they made was forced to move towards their own backcourt. The pressure on the Chinese guys was enough!"
The Chinese fans at the scene also burst into cheers.
Although it was just the beginning, this game was much more exciting than they imagined.
"Damn it, that's right! Just press the little Japanese!"
"Press forward!!"
"Kill them!!"
Although it was a warm-up match, the fans were also cheering hard under the stimulation of the ethnic conflicts between the two countries.
They were singing bad news for Japan, and at the same time encouraging the Chinese team.
In the stadium, Lekai observed the situation on the field and thought to himself:
It's time to play a role, right?
As expected, the Japanese team was unable to bear the harassment and passed the ball to the center back, who kicked forward directly, trying to find Shinji Kagawa.
Shinji Kagawa ran forward, his eyes constantly judging the landing point.
Stretching out his foot, Shinji Kagawa stopped steadily.
But just as he finished stopping the ball, a huge force suddenly came from his shoulder.
When facing the 85-kilogram Lekai, the 68-kilogram Shinji Kagawa had no ability to resist at all, and was pushed out of the ball control circle.
Lekai stretched out his foot and hooked the ball with his toes, supported it with his hips, drew a semicircle on the lawn, and completed the steal!
"Maldini-style steal! Lekai!"
Duan Xuan shouted excitedly; "At the beginning of the game, Lekai showed excellent prediction and defensive ability!"
The Chinese fans at the scene were also very excited. They kept shouting Lekai's name.
After completing the steal, Lekai stood up and directly kicked the ball to the diagonal line with the outside of his foot.
At the same time, Chen Man suddenly made a move to the left, attracting Nagatomo Yuto to step to the left, and then suddenly retracted his feet and ran straight.
Although it was only a one-second delay, when Nagatomo Yuto reacted, he could only see Chen Man's back.
"Chen Man!!!!!!"
"Speed up!!!"
Chen Man ran at an amazing speed, and many people said that this guy was a track and field athlete who came to play football.
But it must be said that this guy's strong explosive power and speed created a great threat to the Chinese team on the wing.
For example, this time, after Chen Man stopped Lekai's ball, he was already facing the opponent's central defender.
Before Nagatomo Yuto came over, Chen Man directly kicked the ball to the middle.
But, was this pass a bit rough? Wang Yi ran right past it.
But even so, Wang Yi suddenly turned around and flew into the air, finishing the shot with an upside-down golden hook.
"Wang Yi!! Shoot!!!"
Duan Xuan shouted loudly and immediately looked at the opponent's goal with wide eyes.
The ball flew to the far corner, hit the goal post with a 'ding' sound, and bounced into the penalty area.
The Japanese team's center back Maya Yoshida looked at Guo Liang who was trying to rush into the penalty area, and kicked the ball directly towards the sidelines.
Complete the rescue first and then talk.
The ball flew out of the sideline, but the Chinese team's offense still scared the Japanese team into a cold sweat.
"Ah~~~~~" Duan Xuan said with a pity on his face; "Wang Yi failed to complete the goal. In a hurry, Wang Yi completed the shot with an upside-down golden hook."
Tao Wei grinned and said, "Chen Man's pass was a bit rough. He ran behind the emperor."
Duan Xuan also said with a smile: "It's indeed a bit rough!"
During the game, Chen Man's face also turned red. He lowered his head and touched his sneakers in embarrassment, as if everything was a problem with the sneakers.
But soon, Lucky started roaring.
"Damn you, didn't you wash your feet last night? Passing the ball stinks!"
Chen Man knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he held his neck and shouted: "You take care of me!"
"You're wasting an opportunity, go get a bottle of water and wash your feet!"
Lucky still cursed.
Chen Man was wrong, but he was a little afraid of Lucai, so he didn't dare to talk back.
I could only keep mumbling in my mouth.
"It's just a bad pass, that's all!"
However, Chen Man also understood that he had to adjust his state.
If it weren't for me, the ball would have been there just now.
Although the offense failed to return a goal, it still surprised the commentators and fans at the scene.
In the past, the Chinese team could not play this kind of counterattack rhythm.
In other words, they couldn't play well against Japan.
But the existence of Lucky laid the foundation for all this.
As long as Lucky can grab the ball, or someone else grabs the ball, Lucky can complete the pass on the counterattack on the spot.
Duan Xuan said excitedly: "It's activated! Chen Man's speed and Wang Yi's shooting ability! In the past, the Chinese team always racked their brains to think of how to activate the abilities of these two people, but Lucai has accomplished it all. !”
"Many people have been saying before that Lucky is the most important link and gear of the Chinese team. Now the gears have finally been spliced and started to drive the overall situation!"
Speaking of excitement, Duan Xuan shouted; "Chinese team! Boys! Go for it!!"
The fans at the scene also continued to express various emotions.
“Awesome!!!”
"This long ball is so beautiful!"
"Stealing + counterattack, the tactics are perfect!"
"Let me just say it, Lucky is the key part, so damn strong!"
"The Premier League champion midfielder is making trouble!"
"Still the Premier League Silver Boot, with the most assists!"
"I want to see Lucky connect directly with the Emperor, it will be so beautiful!"
The eyes of Chinese fans began to shine with passion, and their eyes wandered over Lucky, Wang Yi, Chen Man and others.
They seem to have seen a bright future, and the bright sunshine is shining on the bright future!
Everything is possible!
This kind of kicking!
Such intensity!
Such a rhythm!
The Chinese team is simply reborn!
