Malaysia is an "old friend" of our national soccer team, but it's been 10 years since we've seen each other. Last time the two teams beat Malaysia 2-0. At that time, the Malaysian team was still very weak, the national soccer team relied on a single overhead kick to make the Malaysian team unable to cope with, but ten years later, the national soccer team is still the national soccer team, but the Malaysian team has made great progress.
Before the match, the Malaysian head coach said that he has great respect for the Chinese men's soccer team, but he leads the Malaysian team to have the ability to win the national soccer team. What a confident speech also showed that the Malaysian team, which has a long-term development plan with the help of naturalized players, has significantly improved. The game against the national soccer team reflected that right from the start, but we don't see any confidence at home.
Malaysia knows that they can't keep it up with defense alone but also knows that the national soccer team is very weak in defense so they have adopted a more aggressive style of play where they will be four strikers when the team is attacking. There will only be two midfielders in the midfield and whenever there is an opportunity to give the ball to the front line to settle, the advantage of this is that it will put more pressure on the national soccer team to defend but if the national soccer team counterattacks the midfield because of the space it will be hard to intercept.
Obviously, the head coach of the national football team did not expect Malaysia to play so openly. We still choose to play slowly, slowly find the feeling of the field. 451 formation is also for the world preliminaries 36 to prepare, even if the face of Malaysia in the first half, the national football team did not attack very much.
As soon as they came up, Malaysia's 424 formation couldn't find the north. If not for the first goal offside, the national football team was 0-2 down in 10 minutes, then the next game will be very difficult to play. Although it was a friendly, after all, the last time we lost to Malaysia was 43 years ago, so we went all out in the second half to beat the substitutes who couldn't find a chance to get on the pitch and find their feet.
Luckily for the Malaysian strikers, they were so poor at seizing their chances that all but one of their goals were wasted a little sloppily and simply.
In addition, we were at home after all, and after half an hour, the national footballers gradually adapted to the rhythm of the pitch, kicking the Malaysian national soccer team had a certain psychological advantage, and the defense began to strengthen, so the Malaysian players were hardly welcome.
Look at the goals we conceded, the defenders were a mighty retreat, our players were too slow to get into their stride, no threat if they found a bit of a direct grab or shovel in the assists, giving the assisting players such a long time to get the ball with ease, what if the powerhouses play national soccer like that.
If this is an ongoing problem for the national soccer team, the players are too slow to get into shape. If we switch to a stronger opponent, it will still take 20-30 minutes for the national soccer team to get into shape, making it twice as difficult to win the game.
The question points out that there was some praise to be had as well. The reason they didn't concede a second goal has to do with the fact that these players played hard on the pitch, not that Li Shuai's medical cart was pulled away, but that the national soccer team played hard. He also had a very dangerous game in the first half where he almost got injured, and the other players weren't far behind in wrestling with their opponents. For example, Gao Zhunyi penalty area shoveled off the opponent almost a knife shot, one is a good sense of complementary position, and the second is positive and dare to make a move. If still in a very lax state, the ball is likely to be entered by Malaysia.
This time the national soccer team "fight", is to make up for the fans always like to mention the lack of "fight", said the national soccer team as long as the fight even if the loss is not scolding the national soccer team, said to do ah. The strength of this national soccer team is the same as before, trying to help us do better on the defensive end, Malaysia can attack to test our defensive capabilities, but also a very admirable opponent.
The game lasted more than 80 minutes and the national soccer team started to have more attempts at offense, which was a sign as seen by the fact that Wu Lei could get more of the ball. Obviously, the national soccer team also wanted to test at the end of the game whether our offense can be more effective when the opponent's physical condition decreases and the result is still good.
No most of the time choose to attack, there should be tactical arrangements before the game, more to grind the tacit understanding between teammates and adapt to the skills and tactics of the head coach. Otherwise, before 0-1, the national soccer team has begun to change the main rest, is to allow more players to perform, to prepare for the 36 games, but also to use the game to test the players' status.
This is also a disguised "letting go" of Malaysia, and if the national soccer team had continued to attack for 45 minutes in the second half, it would have been difficult for Malaysia not to lose. Although Malaysia has made progress, it is not as good as the national soccer team in terms of physical fitness, with players suffering from leg cramps or center backs in less than 60 minutes.
Of course, it has to do with the fact that Malaysia has already played a friendly and lost a bit of bodies. The national soccer team is not at full strength as Malaysia has already finished its friendly tour. But with the national soccer team also playing Syria and two games in four days, the national soccer team must also consider the fitness of their players, especially if injuries from friendlies really outweigh the losses.
Overall, the game wasn't boring and was more energetic than many of the matches I've watched in the past with the National Football League. Both sides attacked and defended, especially in the second half, and that can bore fans. Although our goal didn't come in directly from a free kick, it was directly related to a free kick, so free kicks will remain an important means of scoring for us in the WPL. If we dare to try groundwork, attack and pass forks as efficiently as we did in the second half, and improve our attacking efficiency, we can expect more from Syria.
With two games in four days looking to go undefeated, the National Football League can do better.
