1137 Digging Your Own Grave?!(1/2)
Doha Port Stadium.
Team USA calmed down.
When he started organizing the offensive, Ye Yifeng pressed defensively behind the center circle.
Adams midfielder organized the ball to drive the wing.
Ye Yifeng quickly retreated. Although Wei A, on the right, made a breakthrough, dribbled directly and accelerated over Li Ke from the outside, he was attacked by Wang Shenchao and Chi Zhongguo in front.
When he pushed the ball back into the triangle again, Mousa, who took the initiative to receive the ball, was pressed from the back from the side as soon as he touched the ball. He barely controlled the ball and tried to widen the distance, but Ye Yifeng pressed it close to him and got into entanglement.
The straight pass that Mousa finally gave failed to cooperate with the timing of Wei'a.
Wei'er is offside.
The border hierarchy raises the flag.
Chinese team's free kick in the backcourt.
When the Chinese team started attacking, Ye Yifeng responded in the backcourt and then dribbled the offense to the frontcourt.
The US team did not dare to be careless and immediately retreated from the midfield to form a close joint defense before siege against Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng spiked the ball and dodged Moussa's frontal press and then quickly sent a direct pass without waiting for McNey to press twice.
Wu Lei fought behind Adams, touched the ball in the horizontal position in front of the back line, and then accelerated and broke through in the penalty area and was turned around and blocked the line. Goalkeeper Stephen attacked and confiscated the ball.
This offense failed, but the Chinese team continued the idea of the previous game, giving the players in the midfield and backcourt a breathing time so that they could re-arrange the defense.
Belhart understood Lippi's tactical intentions.
Ye Yifeng's efforts to restrain the American team's midfield with one man, which made the American team unable to raise the rhythm and it was difficult for them to form continuous suppression.
Unless they have very skillful field control skills.
But just looking at their midfield, you will know that they don't have such abilities.
Only skillful field control ability can reduce the threat of opponent's individual abilities.
In the 8th minute of the game, Pulisic responded from the left and changed direction to the inside line. The four midfielders of the Chinese team intercepted head-on, but Ye Yifeng pressed from the back.
Ye Yifeng, who has an extremely wide coverage of midfield, is undoubtedly a player who has never stopped since the start of the game. He burns his physical fitness regardless of the consequences.
Pulisic took the lead and shot from a long shot.
Hit the goal, but the angle is not tricky.
Wang Dalei confiscated the ball smoothly.
On the scene, the Chinese team has a little more attention than when playing against Uruguay, at least they are full of expectations when attacking.
When Ye Yifeng competed with McNey in the frontcourt for a high-altitude ball to win for Wu Lei's ferry, Wu Lei lost the ball after controlling the ball again.
Chinese fans were a little restless at this time.
It seemed as if the ball rights that Ye Yifeng had worked hard to grab were easily lost by Wu Lei.
Perhaps, Lippi should indeed be a naturalized striker.
But Lippi has his own considerations.
Wu Lei is not considered to be inadequate in performance, and his performance is still within expectations.
After all, it's such strength.
As a coach, you can't live a life by relying on players to break through their own abilities on the spot.
The United States is getting better, and the full-backs begin to frequently enter the frontcourt.
The Chinese team's defense line began to stand the test.
In the 12th minute of the game, the Chinese team, which had successfully compressed space, forced the US team to start trying to play crosses from the wing.
Pepi was disturbed by Zhang Linpeng during the competition for the top, and the top of the ball was tilted.
Two minutes later, Pulisic restrained the ball from the side and sent a straight pass. Fullback Robinson's cross after the bottom flew to the back point of the penalty area.
Wei'er cut in quickly and headed the ball.
Wang Dalei saved from the closest corner of the goal.
It was obvious that Pepi was about to perform a supplementary ejaculation.
Jiang Guangtai took the lead and sent the ball out of the bottom line.
call.
Everyone felt relieved.
Team US does not advocate technical performance as much as Uruguay in South America, but pays more attention to teamwork and defeats opponents under high confrontation and fast pace.
In the 19th minute of the game, the US team launched an attack from the left again. Pulisic and Robinson collided with the wall and then cut into the inside. They also wanted to complete another wall collision with McKenny and then penetrated forward and entered the left rib of the penalty area.
However, before McKenny touched the ball, he was blocked by someone from the side and behind. Ye Yifeng intercepted the ball and dribbled the ball in an instant, leaving the distance from McKenny, and then adjusted the direction and pushed forward quickly!
The US team's offense was frustrated, and the Chinese team made a quick break on the spot.
After Ye Yifeng dribbled into the dangerous area of the frontcourt, he encountered a pressing from Adams and Moussa. Adams robbed him, and Moussa was responsible for dragging him back and blocking the route he went to the middle.
Ye Yifeng paused with a rhythm, swayed his shoulders and then suddenly splashed the ball on the right.
Adams turned around and chased. Ye Yifeng looked at Wu Lei's running route and decisively sent a foot to the ground.
The football rolled into the right side of the penalty area.
Wu Lei's diagonally flew behind Zimmerman and moved the ball in one step and turned around and pulled away!
Goalkeeper Stephen blocked the ball from the near corner.
This ball is not very threatening.
But it made Chinese fans very excited.
At least the Chinese team's offensive efficiency is stronger than in the last game against Uruguay.
Team USA's defense is still a bit worse than Uruguay.
There were only four people in the frontcourt when the Chinese team took the corner kick.
Ye Yifeng responded, Wu Lei made the ball, and then Wu Lei ran to the middle of the penalty area. Ye Yifeng stepped on the ball on the side waiting for his opponent to press.
Robinson was still straightforward and directly robbed. Ye Yifeng took the ball towards the bottom line and changed backward to get rid of it. When he continued to lead the steering wheel of the penalty area, he saw three American players coming to encircle and fight, and he decisively crossed the ball first.
Although Wu Lei's escort failed to encounter football, it was enough to make the American generals sweat!
The football flew out of the other side line.
The Chinese team returned to defense.
Belhart frowned on the sidelines.
This is not a solution.
If Ye Yifeng is repeatedly allowed to complete the advancement and try to deliver a threatening ball, then for the US team, the threat from the midfield cannot be played, and the overall threat cannot be played!
Lippi's tactical arrangements did play a role.
Team USA is now in an embarrassing situation of looking forward and looking back.
Especially when McKennie was intercepted and chased back without any defensive role.
Belhart gestured to the full-back, and his position was more aggressive to assist the midfield in suppressing Ye Yifeng!
Today, Belhart was also caught off guard by Lippi's platoon.
I never expected that Ye Yifeng would not hit the back midfielder, but hit the front midfielder!
Originally, in their plan, they actually oppressed the Chinese team to play.
They firmly believe that the Chinese team can expose their flaws under continuous impact, or make mistakes under heavy pressure.
But now basically every attack by the US team is a complete and tight defense line after adjustments against the Chinese team.
Although the Chinese team does not seem to be strong in individual defense, they cannot withstand many people!
Team USA also doesn't have the kind of character that can enter the dragon's and tiger's den alone and no one can control it.
After the US team completed the adjustment, it did cause trouble for Ye Yifeng at first.
In the 25th minute of the game, when Ye Yifeng advanced forward, full-back Yedlin closely connected with the midfield, expanded the interception and compressed his space for breakthrough.
So Ye Yifeng could only pass the ball earlier.
If it was a threatening ball before, the pass now is not even a chance ball.
Wu Lei was intercepted by Robinson in the match.
No threat.
Team USA immediately launched a fast attack.
Pepi withdraws from the penalty area to receive Mousa's pass and then sends a diagonal pass.
Vianeche made a quick hit and dribbled the ball, directly knocking down Chi Zhongguo and Jiang Guangtai!
