Unforgettable second half

Chapter 189
In the first game of the group stage, the opponent was Australia.

Jiang Feng changed his previous style, sat on the bench, and asked Coach He to stand on the sidelines to direct, and he still had to do a full set of acting.But when he saw that all the Australian players were tall, he couldn't help frowning.

"The AFC's brains are caught in the door. Why did you agree to Australia's joining the AFC? Are you here to grab our few qualifying places?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but cursed.He couldn't think of the benefits of letting them join. Could it be to train the Asian teams?
"Don't worry, the assimilation ability of Asian teams is very strong, and Australia has become weaker in recent years, haha." Madi said with a smile on the side.

Jiang Feng smiled knowingly, as if it was true that in the last Asian Youth Championship, Australia did not enter the semi-finals and could not go to the World Youth Championship.

But seeing the Australian team in front of him, he was still a little worried.The analysis is the same as Wang Pei's. They are in a 442 formation, focusing on the two sides, and then crossing the ball, giving them two forwards to solve the problem.

Although he had arranged to focus on defending their two flanks, Jiang Feng was still worried.

The right back is Tang Ning, and the right midfielder is Liu Yu. There shouldn't be a big problem on the right.The left back is Lin Xing, and the left forward is Liu Fan. The two have never partnered before. The key is that the opponent is much taller and stronger than both of them.

It would be great if Zhang Hai was here, he could help Lin Xing defend, he has experience in defense and can handle it, but this can only be a delusion, he is over 19 years old.

They really came here for whatever they were afraid of. The other party really directly attacked Lin Xing's side. They really studied us.

They moved in a wide range, from Tangning's right side to Lin Xing's left side.The opponent's right midfielder received the ball and faced Liu Fan directly to defend.

Their full-backs quickly cut in, and after receiving a pass from the right midfielder, they faced Lin Xing directly.Lin Xing knew that he was going to the bottom line, and his body was halfway to the bottom line, but he was wrong.

The opponent made a fake move to pretend to bottom, and then quickly cut inward.Lin Xing pushed forward immediately, but was squeezed behind by the other party.

The opponent's full-back immediately entered the penalty area, but Zhang Le and Zhao Jian in the penalty area did not dare to come out, because the opponent's two forwards had already ambushed there.Li Kang immediately ran into the penalty area to help defend.

Just when everyone thought he was going to cross, the defender over there shot a cold arrow and shot directly.Zhang Le couldn't see it well, so he rushed over immediately, trying to block it with his body, but the ball hit his foot, changed direction, and went into the goal.

0:1.The opponent scored first.

If Huang Tao were to throw the ball directly, he might actually be able to throw it. Jiang Feng had confidence in Huang Tao.But Zhang Le was right to do this. He is a central defender, so of course he had to be on the front line, and he responded so quickly, which is already very good.

He saw Zhang Le beating the grass with his hands in remorse, but Huang Tao came to pull him up and patted him to comfort him.Can only blame bad luck.

At this time, the game was only 15 minutes, and the goal was too fast.

Jiang Feng wanted to go to the sidelines to shout and encourage everyone, but he also thought about the internal strife, which was inconvenient, so he asked Rhodes to run over to cheer everyone up.

It’s okay to concede a goal. There are many such things in the league. In the end, we were beaten to the ground.Jiang Feng was still confident. He carefully observed his opponent's situation to see if there were any loopholes.

But what happened next made him more and more uneasy.

This is always the case in youth games. After the opponent scores a goal, they play better and better and become more confident.Regardless of their tall stature, they are also good at walking.They knew how to use their height advantage, coupled with their foot skills, they had already suppressed Jiang Feng's side for a while, suppressing them in the half court.

Especially on the left side guarded by Lin Xing, both he and Liu Fan were compressed to the vicinity of the penalty area, and they couldn't get out at all.

Relying on Li Kang's tireless running to fill the position in the middle, with Yang Lin and Chen Luo's help in defense, there is no problem in the middle.

Chen Luo also passed several good passes to Yang Lin, but his counterattacks were all destroyed by the opponent.It seems that they have been prepared for a long time.Ye Fan can't do anything in the frontcourt alone, he only has one chance to shoot from a long distance, and the threat is not great.

On the contrary, the opponent's two forwards are more threatening in the penalty area.They can catch long passes from their teammates, they can head the ball, or they can play as a duo.Fortunately, Huang Tao played bravely and saved the opponent's must-goal twice in a row.

It's been 35 minutes since the game, and the Guoqing side still hasn't changed.Coach He was already in a cold sweat, and had turned his head to look at Jiang Feng several times, but Jiang Feng still sat there calmly.

It's not easy for Coach He to come over. After all, everyone has made an appointment and pretends not to communicate in front of outsiders.Only Rhodes ran to the sidelines a few times, communicated with Coach He, and then yelled at the field to move.

Jiang Feng's calmness was all faked, and he hadn't thought of a way to break the other party.The counterattacks that I thought of before the game were not effective, and there is still a gap between our national youth and the opponent.

Soon, he really became anxious because the opponent got a free kick from the wing.Liu Fan and Lin Xing seemed to have reached a consensus, they couldn't let the other party rush past from the side, so they chose to foul.

Jiang Feng was a little worried. The opponents were all tall and powerful. If you can guard against one, you can't guard against the second.He wanted Limbo to go up a bit, but he looked at his watch for only 38 minutes, and with such an early substitution, how would he play in the second half?

According to his tactics, the three players in the frontcourt will be replaced in the second half.Those three players galloped all over the court like this, and their physical strength would definitely not be able to support a game.

Bear with it for a while, looking forward to Huang Tao's bravery, Jiang Feng can only think so.But he regretted it again.

The ball came out and was directly thrown into the penalty area. Zhang Le and the opponent's forward grabbed the first point, but Zhang Le touched it.But not far.Huang Tao saw the danger, and immediately rushed out, trying to catch the ball, but he was still a step too late, and the opponent's central defender smashed the ball into the net first.

0:2. The opponent scored two goals in a row.

The opponent rushed to their coaching staff happily and celebrated together excitedly.There were not many fans watching the game, and the entire stadium was filled with the sound of the opponent's players celebrating.

Really want to cry, Jiang Feng closed his eyes, he was quiet, and then said to Rhodes, "Replace Lin Bo, let's replace Ye Fan. Let Lin Bo play the central defender."

"Huh? You want to play three central defenders? No more forwards?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

Jiang Feng nodded, "The opponent's two forwards are too threatening. They play three central defenders. At the same time, they tell the players not to foul casually. I would rather pass them a cross than give the opponent a free kick."

Rhodes immediately went over to arrange a substitution. At this time, the game was only 40 minutes old.After Lin Bo came on the court, the high ball in the backcourt was guaranteed, and the score was maintained at 0:2 in the first half.

But what about the second half?How to break the opponent?Jiang Feng's risky idea before the game became more and more clear now, and he was going to gamble in the second half.
