Saitama World Cup Stadium.

The match between the B-Group B and the Chinese team in the top ten Asian qualifiers was staged on this stadium.

Before the game, both Van der Hill and the head coach of the Japanese team, Zacheroni, performed very low-key, and also praised each other's team.

Van der Hill said that the development of Japanese football is the best in Asia, and now it is full of talents and is also a role model for other Asian countries.

Zacheroni said that the progress made by the Chinese team in the past year is the most outstanding in Asia, and he also believes that the Chinese team will be a strong World Cup ticket competitor in this group.

When the starters of the two teams appeared in the player channel, Tang Hong was gently pulled by someone. Tang Hong looked back and saw Shinji Kagawa, who was wearing sportswear on the upper body, obviously did not start today. He smiled and greeted Tang Hong, and then they shook hands and parted.

Whenever China and Japan are related, some Chinese media like to exaggerate national hatred and family hatred, but this does not affect Tang Hong making some Japanese friends. After all, sports have no borders. As long as his friends do not show an opposition to China or the Chinese nation, this does not prevent them from becoming friends. If they just believe that Japan is a despicable violence and an enemy who has invaded China, they must now be incompatible with them. Then this is invisibly isolated itself in the world because there are too many countries that have invaded China.

Besides, as far as football is concerned, China's backwardness gives Japan a huge gap. Be humble and see how Japan has spent 20 years. It will not harm China in 30 years.

When the starting players of the two teams stood on the court for a kick-off ceremony, the camera gave Tang Hong the longest time.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the top ten Asian qualifiers in 2014 Brazil World Cup, Group B, a strong match, the Japanese team is in the Saitama World Cup Stadium to face the Chinese team!

I am He Wei, the game commentator host. Today I will explain this game to the audience with my friends. There is also coach Zhang Lu and Zhang.

Coach Zhang, what do you think of today’s game?”

"Although the Chinese team broke through the qualifiers in the previous stage and entered the top ten games and won the first two games, the overall strength gap is still large between the Chinese team and the Japanese team.

Everyone knows that the Chinese team's current strength has come from several young players in our team who are struggling in Europe. Represented by the captain Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Wu Lei on the front line, and Luo Hongkai who plays in Celta in the midfield in the La Liga. They supported the Chinese team's offense and made the Chinese team show unprecedented attack power!

It can be said that this offensive combination looks at Asia, and we have no opponents!

There are experts like Shinji Okazaki and Hirotsuki Kiyoshi, but their threats may be less powerful than Tang Hong alone. This is the strongest advantage on the football field!

But what the Chinese team lacks is everything left outside the offense!

From the mid- and backcourt defense to the maturity of overall technical and tactical play, as well as the overall experience of the team, the gap between us and Japan cannot be smoothed out in a day or two.

In the past two games against Jordan and Oman, we can observe that this head coach Van der Hill is transforming the overall style of the Chinese team. He hopes that the Chinese team will put pressure on the opponent by pressing without any physical strength, and at the same time, they will constantly pursue speed and fast strikes when moving from defense to offense, so that the speed advantage on the front line can be exerted, but the effect is not obvious only when it comes to playing against Oman and Jordan, because the opponent is not strong enough.

Playing against the Japanese team today is a good opportunity to test the strength of the Chinese team, but it also depends on which players the Japanese team has played. This time, Zacheroni almost called back all the Japanese team's overseas players. In fact, he was afraid of capsizing at home."

"You are right about this, Director Zhang. Now I will introduce the starting lineup of the two teams. After reading the starting lineup of the Japanese team, I will know that Zacheroni has reservations, but he definitely has a backup plan.

The Chinese team started 433.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Dai Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Sun Xiang.

Midfielder: Zhao Xuxuan, Luo Hongkai, Zheng Zhi.

Forward: Wu Lei, Qin Rui, Tang Hong.

There are basically no surprises in the starter of the Chinese team, which is Van der Hill's most commonly used starter in the past year.

The starter of the Japanese team is also 433.

Goalkeeper: Kawashima Nagato.

Defenders: Toshiichi Kono, Masahiko Ino, Masaya Yoshida, Yuto Nagato.

Midfielder: Makoto Hasegawa, Keiyuki Honda, and Satohito Endo.

Forwards: Takehiroji Kiyoshi, Ryoichi Maeda, Shinji Okazaki.

The Japanese team's lineup today is already very strong. Compared to their first two games, they have almost given the Chinese team a sufficient face, and there are many stars on their bench!

This game will indeed be a big test for the Chinese team!”

The game is about to begin, and the atmosphere on the scene is fanatical, and the atmosphere of watching the game in Japan has always been very good. If you only watch the league, applause and cheers are common in Japan's local leagues. Even if the team successfully defends once, applause will sound. At the local league scene in China, there will be collective curses from time to time.

When Tang Hong, as the captain, exchanged the team flag with the Japanese team wearing the captain's armband today, he turned his head and looked at the Japanese team's bench. The Japanese team was full of talents, not a nonsense. Many players in the starting lineup had already competed in the five major leagues. The players on the bench, Shinji Kagawa, Takato Sakai, Hiroki Sakai, Shuichi Kotoshi, Atsuchi Uchida, Yuya Omata, Iwamasaki, Hoshiki Haraguchi, and others. If two teams were sent to fight in the Asian game, there would be no suspense for the Japanese team to sweep Asia!

Tang Hong withdrew his gaze and returned to his half to take a pre-match photo with his teammates.

On the bench of the Japanese team, Atsuto Uchida sat next to Shinji Kagawa. He looked at the young captain of the Chinese team and asked: "You and him are teammates at Manchester United. Do you know him?"

Shinji Kagawa has been very serious since he sat on the bench. He whispered: "I can't say I understand, but as a teammate, he is great, and as a friend, he is great."

Uchida Atsuto saw the solemnity in Shinji Kagawa's eyes and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be a little worried."

Shinji Kagawa said frankly: "I think the head coach made a mistake, but it has been corrected now. I hope it's because I'm over-thinking."

Atsuto Uchida remained silent.

The game officially kicked off with the referee's whistle!

The coaches of the two teams Zacheroni and Van der Hill stood in the coach's command area with serious expressions.

After the Japanese team kicked off, they launched an offensive forward, while the Chinese team's overall formation contracted. Compared to their fight against Jordan and Oman, Van der Hill's tactical adjustment before the game was to retreat by 15 yards on the overall defense line!

Before, they would launch a crazy counterattack in the middle and front court, but now they have become the back of the middle circle.

The defense line is still closer to the penalty area as a whole, but heavy defense is laid out in the area from the penalty area to the center line.

Keiyu Honda, Makoto Hasegawa, and Hondo Endo used a skillful and fast kick to organize the offensive for the Japanese team. The Chinese team's crazy pressing will put pressure on them, but it will not cause them to be in chaos.

When Endo's slam passed the ball directly to the left of the frontcourt, Shinji Okazaki directly waded the ball in front of Zhang Linpeng and cut inside to get rid of it. Shinji Okazaki came to the front of the penalty area and was blocked by Zhao Xuyu. He decisively knocked the ball back to the middle. Keiyu Honda assisted and passed the ball to the right side outside the penalty area. Hiroji Kiyoshi stopped and broke through Sun Xiang and made a cross from the bottom. Leaf Maeda inserted into Feng Xiaoting in a diagonal way behind him and turned around and shot directly!

Zeng Cheng blocked the goal and barely blocked the ball from the bottom line.

The Japanese team's offensive after the opening game was completed. It seemed that they were in good shape and had a good momentum.

But when their tactical corner kick finally formed a long shot outside the penalty area, and Keiyu Honda hit the ball on Dai Lin and bounced out, the Chinese team's rapid counterattack was launched quickly.

Zheng Zhi divided the ball into the side in the backcourt, Sun Xiang assisted forward, and Qing Wu Hongsi tried to cut off the connection between him and Tang Hong, but Sun Xiang passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the circle. Luo Hongkai took the initiative to run and responded, so he saw the passing line.

Luo Hongkai was defended by Endo Polyun when he was receiving the ball, and he decisively passed the ball diagonally in front of the left.

Tang Hong just started when he was controlling the ball at the wing position, and his speed did not increase because he wanted to see what defensive strategy the Japanese team's right back Toshichi Kono today was.

When the opponent lowered his gravity and intercepted him carefully, Tang Hong saw that Makoto Hasegawa also came to the sideline to assist in defense.

Tang Hong suddenly stopped in place. The next second, Konobu couldn't help but stretch his legs to grab it!

Tang Hong suddenly activated the inner protective ball on his right foot and gently rolled forward. The football rolled under Konoko's crotch, and at the same time, Tang Hong flew past him like a tiger!

Passing through the crotch!

Konobu's expression changed for a moment, and he turned around and chased him back without a chance!

Hasegawa Makoto was blocked by Kono and could not speed up as soon as possible. He could only watch Tang Hong dribble and turn into the incision track!

The rhythm of Tang Hong's movement shocked the Japanese fans all over the audience!

Because suddenly the Chinese team's counterattack was at the city!

Central defender Masahiko Ino tried to intercept the ball from the front outside the penalty area line and rushed to the shocking Tang Hong, but before he could even confront him head-on, he saw Tang Hong pass the ball diagonally to his left front.

Qin Rui took the initiative to run and hit the ball and passed the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.

Masahiko Ino immediately turned around and blocked Tang Hong's inward line, but Tang Hong took the lead in cutting inward before controlling the ball and occupied Masahiko Ino's defense line. This made Masahiko Ino very uncomfortable and didn't even dare to do the move, for fear that he would give some points at the beginning!

Tang Hong dunked the ball to the middle with his left foot, and Ma Yoshida rushed towards him. Asia's No. 1 goalkeeper Kawashima Nagaki attacked cautiously to expand the defense area, and was alert to Tang Hong's shot at any time!

But Tang Hong gently knocked the ball behind the goal in front of the small penalty area!

Kawashima Nagaji quickly turned around and ran back to remedy, but what caught his eye was Wu Lei's raid and shot and sent the ball into the mid-air gate in front of him!

The Saitama World Cup Stadium was shocked!

The Chinese team scored a goal in the opening game!
Chapter completed!
