Semi-finals, DB vs Osaka Sakura.

In this game, the domestic attention was not high. After all, DB has defeated Wolfsburg, Espanyol and other European giants. A Japanese team really can't catch everyone's eye.

However, unexpectedly, the Japanese media were actually very interested in this game.

The Japanese have a deep admiration for the strong. When MacArthur was the supreme commander of the Allied Forces in Japan, many Japanese women wrote to him, saying that they "wanted to give birth to monkeys for him."

Like the entire Japanese society, Japanese football bullies the weak and fears the strong, and looks down on the neighbors of Chinese football, but admires the powerful Brazilian football. At that time, it was said that there were tens of thousands of Japanese children learning football in Brazil, and many Japanese women even took the initiative to marry Brazilians in exchange for "excellent football genes."

But a young Chinese coach led a young army of Chinese, with half of the teams, but he killed all sides in Brazil, completely subverting the Japanese's perception and attracting the attention of the Japanese.

Another characteristic of Japanese people is that they like to give strong people some special nicknames to second place. For example, the Chinese table tennis team that often makes Japanese people cry is nicknamed second place.

Zhang Jike is known as the "Empression Tiger", Ma Long is known as the "Empression Dragon", Zhang Yining is the "unparalleled great devil king", "the strongest empress" Deng Yaping, and the "retired monk" Liu Guoliang. Of course, the second and inexplicable one must be named Fan Zhendong, his nickname is "the next-generation king and bathroom repairman"...

Now, the treatment of being nicknamed second in the middle has finally fallen on the Chinese footballer.

Many of the DB players were nicknamed "The Last Wise Man in the Empire" by Japanese media, and coach Gao Yuan was awarded the title of "The Last Wise Man in the Empire".

Hidehito Yoshikawa is a highly-watched new coach in Japanese football, so this game was also named by the Japanese media as the ultimate duel of "The Last Wise Man of the Empire VS Japan's Hope Star".

Of course Gao Yuan didn't know about these messy things, but he attached great importance to this game.

As an opponent in the fight, Gao Yuan carefully studied the previous matches of Osaka Sakura.

Japanese football has distinct characteristics of transmission and control, and Osaka Sakura has brought this characteristic to the extreme.

Every player on the team has strong pass and control skills, and everyone is carved out of the same mold. Whether it is the forward, midfielder, or guard, they are almost a way of playing.

Everyone strictly implements the coach's tactical arrangements, like a group of robots with good programs. The defender must not play big feet. Long passes must be completed by fixed players. The area within 30 meters of the frontcourt is definitely not a human... These preset programs make Osaka Sakura's game look a bit boring, but extremely efficient.

This is an overall football that has been played to the extreme. If a team's overall offense and defense can be graded with ABCD, most teams in the São Paulo State Championship can only be rated as C or D, but Osaka Sakura Youth Team can be rated as A or even A+.

Modern football emphasizes the overall situation, and the team's playing style led by Hirohito Yoshikawa is undoubtedly at the top of the modern football food chain. The team's highly unified transmission and control concept, uniform technical and tactical style, strict to almost harsh execution, and continuous improvement to the extreme technical details are all the goals pursued by Gao Yuan.

In terms of overall playing style, Gao Yuan believes that he has been in DB for more than half a year, and there is still a big gap between the Osaka cherry blossoms that have been polished by Hihito Yoshikawa for 3 years.

However, Gao Yuan knew that he would not lose, because football was not a rigid formula and theorem, but a comprehensive competition of many factors such as technology, tactics, physical fitness, will, experience, and psychology.

Osaka cherry blossoms may have achieved their ultimate in some aspects, but their shortcomings in others are particularly obvious.

The key to winning is to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!

After the game started, as Gao Yuan expected, Osaka Sakura took advantage of the ball control on the court with their smooth passes and coordination.

This is also the first time that DB has a lower ball possession rate than his opponent in this year's Yuandu Cup.

This was beyond the expectations of most viewers. Unexpectedly, the DB that could easily be played by a wealthy youth team in Europe would be stuck by an inconspicuous bone like Osaka Sakura.

The transmission of Osaka cherry blossoms is combined with the flowing water, and the ball is constantly conducting and running, making people dizzy.

It seems that Osaka Sakura is in excellent condition, but only Hirohito Yoshikawa and his players know that for the outbreak of this game, they rotated the main players in the previous matches and deliberately suppressed their state.

Ten minutes before the opening, Yoshikawa Hidehito was very satisfied with his team's performance, and a hint of smug smile rose to the corner of his mouth.

But in the home team coach's seat not far away, a sneer appeared on Gao Yuan's mouth.

In the VIP seat in the stands, Saburo Kawabuchi, who came to watch the game, looked a little solemn.

In the 16th minute, the score changed.

The one who took the lead was the DB, which seemed to be a bit passive.

DB hits a quick counterattack that he is best at.

Zhou Yong intercepted, Xu Yifan hit behind him, Liu Yun stepped forward, used his speed to get rid of the opponent, made a cross from the bottom of the bottom, and Wang Zi made a push shot from the middle of the penalty area.

This set of counterattacks is extremely clear and concise. It only took 11 seconds from steal to the final goal!

"It doesn't matter, it's just an accident. Keep working hard." Hinahito Yoshikawa shouted at the players on the court.

After serving in the middle circle, Osaka Sakura still had a familiar rhythm, neither slow nor anxious, nor impatient, and seemed to be affected by the loss of the ball at all.

Hina Yoshikawa was very satisfied. This is the team he focused on building. He always adheres to his own concept. Whether it is scoring goals or conceiving the ball, as long as the whistle does not sound at the end of the game, the team will maintain a normal mind and complete the game according to its own playing style and rhythm.

As the saying goes, if you do not like things or be sad by yourself, it is difficult to know that the wind, forest, volcanoes are like yin.

This is the realm of famous generals in ancient times, and vulgar Chinese people will not understand it!

But 10 minutes later, Osaka Sakura lost another goal.

The goal was even simpler, which was a few simple cooperation on the right side. Qiu Feng made a 45-degree cross. Alfonso, who had signed with Inter Milan, used his strong physical fitness to draw onions on a dry land and headed the ball!

Yoshikawa Hidehito changed his face. Why did he lose the ball so easily! The opponent has no complicated routine, just a simple 45-degree blowout!

This must be an accident!

It doesn’t matter, as long as you stick to your own playing style, you can definitely move the score back.

Fortunately, my long-term rigorous training has played a role, and the team still adheres to their own style and style of play as early as the beginning of the game.

But persistence did not result in good results.

In the 38th minute, the score expanded to 3:0.

This goal was completely defeated by the opponent's super personal ability.

Jora was like entering a state of no one among the troops. He pulled the ball in the crowd, stepped on the ball, swayed left and right, and after a series of tricks, he broke out of the siege. Facing the goalkeeper, he shot with a burst, and the ball flew into the net again!

"Baga!" Yoshikawa Hidehito, who had been very calm, finally couldn't help but swear.

He didn't understand. It was his team who controlled the ball and controlled the situation, but why was the opponent who was far ahead?

Luck must be luck!

My own team is doing better, but the goddess of luck favors the other party.

Saburo Kawabuchi on the rostrum shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart:
Chapter completed!
