Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

"Defensive counterattack is also a tactic. Facing a strong opponent like Bayern, it is not shameful to use this pragmatic tactic!"

As if aware of the fans' dissatisfaction, the commentator took the initiative to speak up for the Chinese national football team.

"Zhu Guanghu's arrangement for Lin Feng today is quite interesting. He doesn't look like a front midfielder, but more like a shadow striker!"

"Yes, Lin Feng's position in the front court is a little bit ahead than normal, and his range of movement is also larger!"

"It can be seen that Lao Zhu still has some ideas about the game!"

Although the results have not been seen yet, the two commentators are still full of expectations.

AC Milan and Inter Milan have already given answers on how to properly use attacking players like Lin Feng who are fast and have strong impact.

The Chinese national football team had been using Inter Milan's plan. After all, for the players themselves, this tactic is more familiar and does not require time to adapt.

But it seems that the Chinese national football team seems to be planning to try AC Milan's plan in this game.

Bayern attacked fiercely after the start of the game. Only 30 seconds into the game, Bayern's new player Ribery used his speed to successfully break through on the wing, cut inside and completed the first shot of the game.

Ribery's wing explosion left a deep impression on the fans watching the game, and many people asked about his news:
[Who is Bayern's new player? He seems quite strong! ]

[Sun Jihai is considered a starting-level full-back in the Premier League, but he is no match for him! ]

[Maybe the game just started and the players haven't gotten into the groove yet, so we can't blame Sun Jihai entirely for this goal, but the opponent's winger does have some talent! ]

[I remember, wasn't this guy the winger of the Marseille team when the Olympic team was training in France at the beginning of the year? ]

[It turns out to be this guy, no wonder he looks familiar! ]

Ribery joined Bayern not long ago for a transfer fee of 3000 million euros. This transfer fee broke the Bayern team record and is also the second highest transfer fee in Bundesliga history.

Although Bayern is the dominant team in the Bundesliga, it is very cautious when it comes to spending money.

They rarely spend money like the top clubs in Serie A, La Liga and the Premier League, paying sky-high transfer fees with high premiums to recruit players.

In Bayern's history, there has never been a transfer fee exceeding 2000 million euros.

With the entire Bundesliga behind them, they can get the players they want at a very low price if they want, so there is no need to waste money at all.

But the situation is different this year. After another failed season, Bayern has learned its lesson.

Decided to keep up with the pace of Europe's top giants and join the arms race.

Bayern has made big moves this summer.

In addition to spending 3000 million euros to bring Ribery from Ligue 1400, Bayern also took away Borussia Mönchengladbach's potential winger Janssen for million euros.

At the price of 1100 million euros, they took away Italian striker Luca Toni from Serie A's Fiorentina.
Finally, he wielded a hoe and poached the team's top striker Klose from their direct league rival Werder Bremen.

Bayern only paid 1500 million euros for this transfer, far lower than Klose's actual value of 3000 million euros.

In the entire Bundesliga, or even in the whole of Europe, perhaps only Bayern can buy Klose in his prime at such a low price.

If it were any other team, they wouldn't even think about paying less than 3500 million euros.

Although Bayern's top striker Makaay left, they bought four forwards at once, especially the joining of Toni and Klose, which made Bayern's forward strength increase instead of decrease!
In addition, in order to fill the vacancy left by Hargreaves by Manchester United, Bayern spent 900 million euros to bring 22-year-old young midfielder Jose Sousa from Argentina and promoted Toni Kroos from the youth team to the first team.

After this series of signings and reinforcements, Bayern's lineup has undergone tremendous changes compared to last season.

Not only is the lineup younger, but the midfield and frontcourt configurations have also been comprehensively upgraded.

Compared to last season, Bayern's offensive power has become stronger this season!
Shortly after Ribery completed his shot, Bayern midfielder Schweinsteiger also tried a low shot from 22 meters on the left side of the penalty area.

Xiaozhu's shot was very sudden, and the ball hit the defender's leg while rolling, causing it to refract.

When the fans at the scene and in front of the TV saw this, they all felt that the Chinese national team was about to lose the ball.

However, at the critical moment, the Chinese national team's goalkeeper Chen Dong made an extremely extreme save and barely pushed the ball away, which was then cleared by Feng Xiaoting who arrived.

At this time, less than three minutes had passed since the start of the game, but everyone had already felt the suffocating offensive pressure from Bayern!
On the sidelines, Lao Zhu was already sweating profusely.

Damn, is Bayern’s offensive firepower so strong?

I thought I could survive by relying on defensive counterattacks, but now it seems that I can't survive at all!
If they continue playing at this pace, the Chinese national team’s goal will be breached in the first half.

The fans had similar thoughts to Zhu Guanghu. In just a few minutes, everyone had clearly seen the gap in strength between the Chinese national team and its opponents.

[Brothers, this game is a bit suffocating. When the Chinese national football team played against the German team before, the pressure was not so great! ]

[I also feel that Bayern is stronger than the German national team. The gap between the Chinese national team and them is really huge! ]

[The last time the Chinese national football team beat Germany was also a fluke. We cannot assume that the Chinese national football team is stronger than the German team just because of an occasional upset! ]

[What's more, the German team was in a period of transition and tactical confusion. Since Loew took over as coach, the German team's strength has improved rapidly. Now when the Chinese national team meets them again, it feels like we will be defeated 3:1! ]

[There is not much hope of winning this game. It all depends on whether Lin Feng can steal one with his personal strength! ]

The Chinese national football team players really wanted to pass the ball to Lin Feng so that he could steal the ball.

Unfortunately, the opponent put too much pressure on them and they had no chance to pass the ball.

Lin Feng waited in the frontcourt for several minutes, but no team showed up. He could only stare at Van Buyten who was defending him.

Seeing that his teammates could hardly hold on to the ball under the opponent's pressure, Lin Feng had to retreat to participate in organization and defense to relieve the pressure on his teammates.

As soon as he retreated, the effect was immediate.

The national team players who were originally unable to stand, seemed to have found their backbone and knew how to play football after having Lin Feng as a safe receiving point.

Under Lin Feng's support and organization, the Chinese national football team's midfield gradually stabilized its position.

Although still at a disadvantage, at least we can keep the ball.

It was not like before, when the ball under our feet became a hot potato, mistakes were constant, and we couldn't coordinate at all.

Zhu Guanghu was a little angry when he saw Lin Feng retreating on his own initiative to participate in the defense.

But after seeing the effect of his retreat, he could only sigh and shut his mouth obediently.

There is no way, the midfield really cannot do without him.

If he is really allowed to stay in the front all the time, the Chinese national team will most likely lose the ball earlier than scoring a goal.

"It would be great if we had two Lin Fengs in our team!"

Zhu Guanghu sighed, feeling that one Lin Feng was not enough.

If there were two Lin Fengs, one playing in midfield and the other playing as a striker, there wouldn't be such a problem at all.

Although Lin Feng's retreat temporarily helped the national football team stabilize the midfield, the national football team's disadvantage on the wing has not been improved.

In the 12th minute, Bayern's full-back Lahm suddenly moved forward, received Ribery's pass and sent a diagonal pass from the left.

Klose, who was lying in ambush in the penalty area, cleverly used his head to slightly change the direction of the ball and sent the ball to the far corner.

Chinese national football team goalkeeper Chen Dong had never expected the opponent to use such a move. He was caught off guard and had no time to save the ball.

At the critical moment, the captain of the Chinese national football team, Li Weifeng, stood up, jumped high and headed the ball away on the goal line.

Fortunately, Klose's hit was not very powerful and the ball was not that fast, giving Li Weifeng a chance to make amends.

Otherwise, even gods can’t save you!

The fans and players on the field were all broken out in cold sweats after this goal!
This Bayern forward seemed to be inconspicuous and mediocre before.

But if the opponent didn't make a move, it would be fine. But once he made a move, he gave them a small shock.

Compared with the powerful French winger on the wing, the silent German striker in the penalty area is the most dangerous person on the field!

Although Klose did not score, it further increased the pressure on the Chinese national team's defense.

After being besieged by Bayern for more than ten minutes, the Chinese national football team finally launched a decent attack.

In the 15th minute, Sun Xiang dribbled the ball down the left side and his cross found Gao Lin in the penalty area.

Gao Lin did not choose to shoot himself, but cleverly passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo who was in a better position.

Dong Fangzhuo took the ball and shot beautifully, but Kahn saved it even better.

There was applause at the scene. Although the Chinese national team's attack failed to score a goal, the successful shot was already something worthy of encouragement.

The Chinese national football team's attack was unsuccessful, and the players retreated immediately to avoid giving the opponent a chance to launch a sneak attack.

Bayern actually had this idea, and Ribery was already ready to attack from the wing.

But seeing that the Chinese national team was prepared, Bayern had no choice but to change its plan and reorganize the attack.

After a brief tug of war and probing, Schweinsteiger suddenly moved forward, received a pass from Oter behind him, and had a one-on-one opportunity in the penalty area.

The Chinese national team defenders' attention was all focused on the opponent's forward and they never expected that Xiaozhu would move forward.

The defenders were caught off guard and had no time to return to defense.

Faced with such a good opportunity, Schweinsteiger did not miss it and calmly pushed the ball into the far corner.

The score became 1:0, and Bayern Munich temporarily took the lead.

[Damn, I still can’t hold it! ]

[Bayern has too many scoring points, it's impossible to defend against them! ]

[Zheng Zhi must take the blame for this goal. When Schweinsteiger was advancing, he did not stick closely to the opponent! ]

[The positioning of Feng Xiaoting and Li Weifeng was also problematic. There was such a large gap on the left side of the penalty area. Did they not notice it at all? ]

[If you ask me, the coach should be blamed the most. Since they want to play a defensive counterattack, why not just have five defenders? Is it useful to put two forwards on the front line? ]

Seeing that the team was being suppressed and falling behind in the score again, the fans reached the familiar settlement stage again.

The game hasn't even ended yet, but the fans can't wait to blame the players and coaches.

[Does no one think that Lin Feng is also responsible? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the fan's opinion.

However, his next words made the fans burst into laughter.

[It was because Lin Feng didn't score that Bayern dared to attack so recklessly. If he had scored, the Chinese national team might not be behind now! ]

[Do you think it's so easy to score a goal? The opponent is Bayern, do you understand Bayern? ]

[Haha, this guy must be still asleep, he thinks Lin Feng is Maradona and Pele! ]

[In this case, I think even if these two people come, they can't overturn Bayern's entire defense alone! ]

……

In fact, after playing for 20 minutes, even the audience had already noticed it.

The Chinese national team's players in every position are weaker than their opponents.

In a one-on-one situation, the Chinese national team will be firmly suppressed by the opponent at any point.

If we allow the opponent to use their individual strength to attack the Chinese national team's single point, the Chinese national team will definitely not be able to stop them. The opponent will continue to launch threatening attacks and score more goals.

To reverse this unfavorable situation, we can only ask teammates to come and help and deal with the opponent's offensive players together.

Only by forming a numerical advantage in local areas can the Chinese national football team have a chance to stop the opponent's attack.

Lin Feng saw this, so he retreated deeper.

The closer to their own goal, the denser the Chinese national team's players are, the less room there is for the opponent to move, and the more difficult it is for Bayern to attack.

As soon as Lin Feng retreated, Gao Lin and Dong Fangzhuo, who were originally on the front line, were also forced to retreat as they lost the support behind them.

Since it is difficult to get offensive opportunities, the two of them have now almost become defensive forwards. Like mad dogs, they work hard to press the opponent's backcourt players who have the ball and do not give the opponent a chance to organize an attack calmly.

The mad-dog pressing of the two players had a good effect. Bayern's defenders could no longer take the ball as easily as before. They could only pass the ball before the two players pounced on them.

This kind of hasty pass can easily be predicted and intercepted by the opponent.

In the 23rd minute, facing the pressure from Dong Fangzhuo, Lucio was forced to pass the ball to Oter.

Seeing that it was Ottl who got the ball again, Schweinsteiger wanted to use the same trick again.

But their intentions were too obvious. As soon as Schweinsteiger got the ball, Lin Feng rushed over from the side and slid to knock the ball away from his feet.

But before Lin Feng could pass the ball, he was tackled to the ground by a Bayern player.

Beep!
The referee couldn't stand it anymore and called a foul on the opponent.

Just when the opposing player tried to complain to the referee about Lin Feng's previous foul on Schweinsteiger, Lin Feng got up from the ground, chose to take a quick free kick, and passed the ball to the side.

Qu Bo, the former wind-chasing boy, received the ball from Lin Feng. (End of this chapter)
