On the same day that the Chinese team soared to the highest stage, Nigeria won a thrilling 3:2 goal in the match with Argentina, and the stumbling but extremely tenacious also stood on this stage.This is the second meeting between the two teams after they met in the group stage.After the match with Burkina Faso, the Chinese team strengthened its determination to continue to implement the existing tactical play, and the experience of defeating Nigeria in the group stage also made the Chinese team not need to panic, after all, the tactical play was just proposed at that time, and after three games with the French team, the Australian team, and the Burkina Faso team, this style of play has become more and more perfect and mature.And after the Nigerian team's tactics in the Chinese team became more and more mature, they finally realized the truth of the group stage defeat: the Chinese team was not chaotic, but an intentional tactical choice!
Or rather, a controlled "chaos".It is in this chaotic situation that the Nigerian players have also lost the implementation of tactical discipline and turned it into individual combat, in other words, the Chinese team used its own controlled "chaos", and the infected Nigeria became an out-of-control "chaos"!
For Nigeria, it doesn't matter whether the Chinese team is deliberately creating this kind of chaos and then seducing the natural domestic players to fight alone, the Chinese team's style of play is the same in four consecutive games, and the power is getting stronger day by day, and the final will never change the style of play, so what Nigeria has to do is to learn from the lessons of the last game, resolutely implement tactical discipline, and never allow to be misled by the chaos on the surface of the Chinese team!
The damn Chinese team, it's so cunning!
But even so, the Nigerian coaching staff is not very relieved, because they only insist on their own tactical play can win under the competition with the Chinese team's playing system, and they are not sure, on the one hand, the Chinese team's style of play is crazy, and any accidents may occur, on the other hand, the Chinese team's style of play is still improving and improving, and the tactical level in the final and the group stage is definitely different.And Nigeria did not really have a systematic confrontation with the Chinese team in the group stage.Therefore, in order for Nigeria to win, it must not only adhere to its own style of play, but also work hard to undermine the Chinese team's style of play......
And the Chinese national youth also thought of this, but they couldn't determine what method the other side used to destroy their own lineup.Australia has tried full-court pressing, but the effect is very poor, in addition to the difference in strength between the two teams themselves, playing full-court pressing is equivalent to giving up their own tactical play, too passive, completely with the baton of the Chinese team.Three days later, at the Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Argentina faced Burkina Faso, despite the presence of more than 20,000 spectators, Argentina was listless and won 2:0 by Burkina Faso.At 17:30 p.m. on September 30, 2001, facing the cool Caribbean sea breeze, Crawford Stadium was packed with spectators, conservatively estimated to be more than 25,000, almost a quarter of the population of the entire capital of Trinidad and Tobago!
Dignitaries of the Trinidad and Tobago government, the vice-president of FIFA and the head of the Youth Football Commission, and even the heads of the foreign affairs agencies of the two countries in Trinidad and Tobago also appeared on the opening stage.Compared with other teams, the audience is more curious about the special Asian champion of the Chinese national youth.At the World Junior Championships, where white Europeans and blacks dominate the world, a yellow team, or a team that never lacks excitement as long as the game is not lacking, is destined to attract more attention and be sought after, and its commercial appeal has also made FIFA happy.After a brief closing ceremony, the Nigerian and Chinese teams entered one after the other.Today's referee was Cardoso Battista from Portugal.Interestingly, the group stage between China and Nigeria was also officiated by the smiling referee.Wang Ai and Nigeria captain Brown greeted the referee together, shook hands, guessed the edge and returned to the sidelines.The World Junior Championship trophy has been solemnly placed on the sidelines, waiting for its owner to lift it.At 6 p.m., Batista blew the whistle for the start of the match.The finals are on!
The Chinese team's tactical scenario is to try to launch a surprise attack at the beginning of the game, and it would be great if it succeeded, and if it didn't, it would be possible to gauge Nigeria's reaction.As the loser of the group stage, it has a "backward advantage" and can make targeted arrangements for the winner's style of play, while China, as the winner, can only guess out of thin air.Therefore, the sooner you figure out the other party's arrangement, it will also be beneficial to the Chinese team.Nigeria kicked off first, and the forward player was got by Zhou Haibin with a big kick, and passed diagonally to Guo Liang on the side, Guo Liang passed directly to midfielder Yin Liangyi on the side, and Yin Liangyi gave the ball to Wang Ai at the top of the Nigerian half-court arc in the middle circle according to the pre-game tactical arrangement.As soon as Wang Ai got the ball, Nigerian midfielder Opa came up to intercept, Wang Ai easily shook off the passing angle with a faint, and just about to get up, he felt a strong force from his shoulder, and involuntarily staggered to the side two steps.Even in the state of sudden loss of control of the body, with a good sense of the ball and keen reactions, Wang Ai did not lose the ball, and after distributing the football to the white crane who responded, Wang Ai looked at Opa in surprise.He was his opponent in the last game, but he wasn't so aggressive.Wang Ai looked at the court and found that Chen Tao was treated similarly to himself, and he was also accompanied by a player, harassing him all the time.Not much, Wang Ai tried again, this time it was even worse, Wang Ai was directly knocked out of the field by Opa on the side.Wang Ai is 100% sure that the opponent is using this direct and frequent body collision to interfere with the normal operation of the Chinese team's frontcourt attack core!
Foul play?
This time, of course, it was a foul, but it wasn't worth the cards!
After all, Nigeria did not trample, stompe, or even a malicious collision, but was on the verge of a normal body collision, or that they did not spare force or stop when the body hit, so they constantly used their strong bodies to interfere with the organization of the Chinese team!
This has found the lifeline of China's national youth!
Even if the Portuguese referee did not hesitate to give a foul, it would not help, and even the Nigerian player who committed the foul would take the initiative to reach out and pull up the Chinese national junior player who was knocked to the ground......
You can't take out the cards, you can't take the penalty.In the face of Nigeria's super individual strength, other midfielders in the Chinese team cannot replace the role of Wang Ai and Chen Tao.Wang Ai is confident that he can get rid of all the defenders of the junior team with his skills, but the premise is that the opponent is running for the ball, if the opponent is running for people, no matter how agile Wang Ai is, it is impossible to dodge them all, unless it is ......
Don't have the ball!
But having come to this point, how could Wang Ai be willing to give up the results of the collective hard work of all his teammates?
For the first time, China's once-invincible tactical system of attacking with light troops encountered a difficult problem in system confrontation.The Nigerian team is fully carrying forward the advantages of its strong physical fitness and average age, sacrificing two midfielders to strangle the front threat maker of the Chinese team, and the front and back of the Chinese team are facing the threat of being cut in half!
