Let's talk for the first time todayOlympic Women's Football Semifinals: United States Women's Team vs Germany Women's Team!
The quarterfinals of the women's football team are a big surprise to the fans.All four games were cold。
Even the seemingly disparity between strength and weakness such as United States fighting Japan and Spain fighting Colombia is cold, why is this? Will this be the case in today's semi-finals?
Regarding the last game of United States against Japan,Probably the most boring game of women's football at this Olympics.
It was only more than 60 minutes, and the commentator said that this game was going to be played in overtime.
And the fans all stood on the opposite side of United States,As soon as the United States got the ball, the fans booed them loudlyWhy?
Because the United States women's soccer team played too lewdly.
In the beginning,Everyone saw that the United States women's soccer team suddenly stopped playing 433 and played 352 insteadIn fact, there is a sense of foreboding, because it may mean that the United States wants to play very conservatively.
As a result, everyone still underestimated United States's determination - they are conservative, they are simply obscene.
Let's take a look at a picture of a United States pass, green is the successful route, and orange is the unsuccessful route.
As you can see,United States has a lot of backwards in the middle and back, and there are not many decent offensive passes at all.
Actually, it's the same way, you look at their backcourt down...... Do you want to doze off?
If you only look at the statistics after the game, United States seems to be very powerful, with a possession rate of 71%, which seems to have a great advantage.
But it's all about ineffective possession, it's pure"Brush"out of the illusion.
If extra time is not counted, United States had only 9 shots on goal, 1 shot on target and 0 great chances in regular time, and was 108,000 miles away from the goal.
So here comes the question -Why did United States, which attacked so fiercely in the group stage, become so obscene as soon as it came to the knockout stage?
It's no secret that United States women's soccer head coach Hayes has publicly complained -The team lacks players who can be rotated.
One fact: United States has the least rotation of any knockout team,They have only changed one starter in four games, or because the starting midfielder Coffey was suspended, he was passively replaced.
When playing Japan, the players were so tired,They didn't change for the first 90 minutes。
This Olympic Games is an extreme test of the players' physical fitness.
The first is that the weather is very hot.
The official France meteorological office gave an orange alert, and in most areas, the temperature during the competition was around 30 degrees, and in many places the temperature exceeded 30 degrees during the competition.
The second is that the schedule is particularly tight.
For example, the United States team,They played four games in nine days……
Many teams can't withstand the double game a week, 9 days and 3 games are considered devils' schedules, and the United States team is 9 days and 4 games, and they don't rotate, how can this be withstand?
To put it in one word:The lamp ran out of oil。
Then, the head coach can naturally only adopt a conservative style of play, fall more backwards, reduce the real playing time of the game, and try to avoid the disadvantage of his physical fitness.
The last time the United States played Germany, it played a 4-1, which was basically a one-sided hanging.
But this 4-1 was bought with a lot of breakouts and outbursts.
For example, they have burst into a sieve on the right side of the Germany, and Germany defenders are completely unable to keep up with the explosiveness of United States African-American forwards.
But now the United States players are so tired, the last game against Japan did not play any explosive power, this time against Germany, may not be able to break out a few times.
That is why, it is clear that United States has played so much in the group stage, but this time the director's sincerity towards United States still does not seem to be enough.
In every women's football tournament, the temperature is relatively cold after the knockout round. Can the Germany women's football team please the fans, and what do you think? The little wine party expects them to be at least undefeated!
Well, for today's other competitions, Xiaojiu will still send you text analysis in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Watch the ball and see clearly", we will see you soon!
