Chapter 1619 Unprecedented defensive experience
When people discovered the formation of the Chinese team in this game, the team's style of play in this game also came out naturally.

"Facing the more powerful Japanese team, Camacho made the team's decision to respond with a bus formation. This is a wise approach for the Chinese team in the away game."

Nodded, in fact, before the game, many football people also speculated that Camacho might play a defensive and counterattack bus formation after having Liu Feng and Wu Lei, two players who were very familiar with counterattack tactics when they were in Piacenza.

Therefore, after asking a question, Liu Jianhong realized the benefits of such a formation and tactics, and he began to continue to follow up the progress of the game.

"The Chinese team's possession of the ball is very stable. Under the coordination of Liu Feng and Zheng Zhiju, the players passed very smoothly. The Japanese team had to press out of the formation and start pressing."

As the home team in this game, the Japanese team has a regular formation of 442.

Kiyotake Hiroshi and Okazaki Shinji partnered as the team's double forwards, Honda Keisuke and Hasebe Makoto as the team's central midfielder, and the left and right wingers were Endo Yasuhito and Nakamura Kengo.

As for the back four, Yuto Nagatomo from the Serie A giants Inter Milan served as the left back, Atsuto Uchida, who Liu Feng had met more than once in the Premier League, served as the right back, and Asaya Yoshida and Yasuyuki Konno partnered as the center back.

As for the goalkeeper, it will be the Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima.

This is a starting lineup with a home team lineup and a substitute lineup. Even though the Chinese team already has a powerful superstar like Liu Feng joining, they have not played as elite as they did against Australia.

Such an arrangement is naturally beneficial to the Chinese team. They lost the ball for the first time only 7 minutes after the start of the game, and then the ball was quickly taken back by Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi's crazy counter-grab.

Compared with the Chinese team, the players of the Japanese team obviously entered the state too slowly. When their coach started to shout loudly from the sidelines to signal the team to cheer up as soon as possible, it was already 15 minutes after the start of the game.

"This opening is completely different from the last time the two teams played against each other. Relying on the advantage of the number of midfielders, the Chinese team managed their own half into an unbreakable barrier."

Although there is also no good opportunity to counterattack, Liu Jianhong and many fans who are looking forward to this game are still very relieved to see the team's performance, because the situation between the two sides is clearly in balance at this moment.

Yes, when the current Chinese team plays against the Japanese team, it is already a very good thing to be in balance.

After 15 minutes of the game, when the midfielders of the Japanese team realized that it was useless to continue to press the opponent's half like a headless chicken, they began to change.

"Instead of continuing to press forward, the Japanese team also chose to retreat. They left Hiroshi Kiyotake and Shinji Okazaki in the half of the Chinese team, and the other midfielders controlled their activities around the middle circle."

When the Japanese team started to make changes, it became impossible to continue to control the ball in their own half. Therefore, after getting the ball again, Liu Feng began to try to dribble towards the center circle.

There is nothing wrong with his offensive thinking. After all, the team is heading for victory rather than a tie in this game.

But, the mistake is that the other players on the team don't have his ability to change their thinking and then follow up to cooperate with him.

In the 201st minute of the match No. 3, when Liu Feng dribbled the ball on the left side of the opponent's midfield and was double-teamed by two defensive players and was about to be killed by No.

"The other players didn't follow up very well. Liu Feng couldn't find the player for a while. Wu Lei quickly pulled back and quickly played the ball. It was very thrilling. The ball was still passed, but the Chinese team had no offensive power in front."

This was a failed attempt. Although the ball was not lost after Wu Lei returned it to Zheng Zhi in the middle, it also reflected the lack of tacit understanding between the players.

"Keep defending! Feng, don't be in a hurry!"

Just when Liu Feng was about to say something helplessly, Camacho, who was standing beside the coaching area, suddenly gave him a wink, first gave instructions in English, and then added a sentence to Liu Feng in Portuguese that was just for him.

At this moment, Liu Feng chose to trust the coach. This is his consistent habit as a team member. After all, the coach sees the whole team more than a certain person on the field.

As a result, when the game continued, some fans who originally wanted to see the Chinese team play vigorously, resign themselves to life or at least stand and die, were a little disappointed.

Not because the Chinese team lost the ball, but because the game was really ugly.

"It was another big kick to clear the siege. Keisuke Honda stopped wearing rough clothes. The expression on his face was very awkward. This is the third time that Zheng Zhi has cleared his big foot. This destructive style of play caused the Japanese team, which is good at ground attack, to consume a lot of energy."

In the 403rd minute of the game, the Japanese team once again attacked and was broken out of the sideline by the Chinese team.

Stealing the ball in the middle and backcourt, passing it to the frontcourt, and then being destroyed by the opponent with a small move or foul or stealing the ball, and then stealing the ball in the middle and backcourt, and this cycle is what happened in the past twenty minutes.

When Atsuto Uchida threw the ball again on the right sideline of his own half, Makoto Hasebe who caught the ball was already stuck in the body by Liu Feng who rushed up quickly.

Feeling the huge force coming from behind him, Makoto Hasebe immediately realized that it was almost impossible for him to wipe it away with his body cover.

In desperation, he could only choose to pass back to Atsuto Uchida who had already entered the field.

"Hit the ball with one kick! Liu Feng~, he did a very good job on the defensive end in the first half. This is something he has never done before at Arsenal or Piacenza. The ball rolled past Atsuto Uchida. Fortunately, Yoshida Ma also wiped his ass behind him. Otherwise, Liu Feng, who is full of speed, will teach him a huge lesson."

Originally, I wanted to announce enthusiastically that the Chinese team had finally given birth to the first steal counterattack, but the next moment people saw Maya Yoshida who appeared in front of the ball earlier than Liu Feng.

When the ball was kicked out with a big kick, the first half of the game has come to an end.

"Shhhhhh!!!"

Shortly after the ball flew from the Japanese team's backcourt to the midfield, a sharp whistle sounded over the Yokohama Stadium, 0-0. Such a game and such a scene are obviously not what the fans who filled the Yokohama Stadium to the fullest seats wanted to watch.

"..."

Everyone watched the two teams leave the field in silence, not knowing what to say for a while.

However, it can be seen through the camera that the coach of the Chinese team, Camacho, was smiling when he entered the player channel.
