Many people will be impressed by a situation on the court when watching the live broadcast of the game, that is, a good stadium shows bright and darkness, and a large area of ​​shadow cuts the stadium into two pieces.

This is common in Serie A and Premier League games.

This kind of stadium is called "Yin and Yang Field".

This is the more common when the weather is better and the sun is stronger. This is the projection formed by the stadium stands and ceiling on the court.

Generally speaking, this should be considered when building a stadium. When players are playing, the dazzling sunlight will affect their sight and may even cause short-term blindness.

Yin-Yang Field is inevitable. After all, football is an outdoor sports, and it is impossible to always play with the roof of the court.

However, when building a stadium, you can artificially adjust the projection direction of the shadow.

For example, a stadium facing north and south is better than a stadium facing east and west.

Because when the stadium facing north and south encounters the Yin-Yang field, at most, half of the horizontal side has shadows, while the other half does not. In this way, players are least affected by the sun when attacking and defending. The opposite is true for the east and west directions.

But the location of the final is New Wembley Stadium, an east-west stadium...

It seems that there is no problem now, but as the game goes on, it is hard to say.

※※※

The Chinese team lost the right to pick the side and got the right to kick the ball, so the Chinese team will kick the ball at the beginning of the game.

He Ying and Wu Lei stood in the middle circle, stepping on the football under his feet, and Zhou Yi stood outside the middle circle.

The players on both sides have already stood in their positions and just waited for the whistle to whistle.

The scene that was quite noisy before gradually became quiet, and it was so quiet that it even made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Even the commentator He Ping couldn't help but hold his breath.

The referee looked down at the watch, then blew the whistle in his mouth with force.

"The game begins!" He Ping shouted, "CCTV! CCTV! Audiences, welcome to the final of the men's football in the 2012 London Olympics! Both sides of the game are the Chinese team wearing red jerseys and the Japanese team wearing blue jerseys. The game will be kicked off first!"

He Ying kicked the football to Wu Lei, and Wu Lei turned around and passed the football back.

The football fell to Zhou Yi's feet.

During the time of passing the two feet, the Japanese players had already rushed over over the center line. The leader was their forward Kenyu Nagai, who was the forward, so it was normal to rush in the front.

But the Japanese player who rushed to the second place was their midfielder Yamaguchi Takashi!

This position on the field should be more backward than Dong Keigo, Otsu Yuki, and Kiyotake Hirotsuki, but he rushed to the second place.

He rushed towards Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi did not let the football stay at his feet for more. He turned around as he received the ball, and then kicked the football to central defender Guo Nu. After passing the ball, he pulled it to the side.

Yamaguchi Teng also adjusted the direction of his running and ran towards the new position. He was like a guided missile that locked the target, and he went wherever Zhou Yi went.

The head coach of the Japanese Olympic team, Kanzuka, who saw this scene off the court, nodded. He was very satisfied with Yamaguchi's performance.

Zhou Yi passed the football back to the back line, but the Japanese forward Kenyu Nagai who was rushing in the front did not mean to stop, but followed the football towards Guo Nu.

In addition to him, other Japanese players continued to rush forward. Yukiki Otsu, Keigo Hirotsuki Hirotsuki... ran up from different directions.

But their forward rush is not all for football. If you look closely, you will find that only Kenyu Nagai is like this. Others have their own goals. These goals are not football, but other players of the Chinese team. If Guo Nu wants to get the ball, these people will pass the ball to his goal.

Guo Nu also noticed this after receiving the ball. When he wanted to pass the football forward, he suddenly realized that he had no good choice because Japanese players had already appeared near the target of his passing. They were facing their backs to the offensive direction. After receiving the ball, they were likely to be stuck by Japanese players so that they could not even turn around, and they were easily lost.

Guo Nu was also a person trained in the Serie A field. He did not hesitate, but quickly turned around and passed the football back to goalkeeper Sun Pan.

Kenyou Nagai ran over Guo Nu and continued to chase the football, just like Kuafu was chasing the Ri, and he ran towards goalkeeper Sun Pan.

Facing Nagai Kenyu's robbery, Sun Pan did not kick the football out immediately. He seemed to have other ideas.

But at this time, Zhou Yi, who had already run back outside the penalty area, shouted at him: "Kick out!"

When Sun Pan heard Zhou Yi's throat, he kicked the football in the frontcourt with a little unwillingness.

But just when he had just finished this big foot, Kenyu Nagai had already run to a place only three or four meters away from him...

If he hesitates for a while, he may not have the chance to kick the football in front and can only kick the football in the side.

Zhou Yi reminded him very timely.

But Sun Pan was still a little unhappy and he tickled.

Zhou Yi turned around and ran forward and gave Sun Pan a piece of advice: "Be careful, Panpan, today's Japanese team is not normal!"

Sun Pan spat: "When did little Japan live normally?"

He was quite hard on his mouth, but he was indeed a little confused. The Japanese team saved so fiercely after the start of this game... Have you taken drugs?

"The game just started, and the Chinese team kicked the ball, and the Japanese team grabbed it very fiercely! Kenyu Nagai even directly broke into the Chinese team's penalty area..." BBC's Mark Laurenson also focused on what the Japanese team showed after the kickoff.

※※※

Zhou Yi is right, today's Japanese team is indeed not very normal.

In the subsequent games, Japanese players kept running and actively fought.

As long as Chinese players get the ball, they will see Japanese players rushing up to grab them.

To be honest, the people watching this scene were quite inconsistent. He Ping, the commentator, felt strange and said: "Today's Japanese players seemed to have suddenly turned into wolves..."

People who watch football find it strange, and people who play football are even more so.

The players of the Chinese Olympic team seemed very uncomfortable with the Japanese team's pressing. This was a situation they had never expected before the game - no one expected Japan to play so aggressively in the game...

The technical characteristics and football style of the Japanese team have always been obvious and clear, and they have been persisted for many years. That is the technical flow and the transmission and control flow. In terms of aggressiveness, they are far from the Korean team. This kind of active running and scrambling the opponent like a wolf pack is the symbol of the Korean team.

Since Japanese football has set the goal of learning Brazil, it has been working in this direction. Based on their own ethnic characteristics, they believe that delicate technology and control are the most suitable path for Japanese players.

They have persisted for so many years, and just like Barcelona insisting on Tiki-taka, it has become the gene of Japanese football.

Because of the importance of entrepreneurship and control, Japanese football often has very powerful first-class Asian midfielders. For example, the earliest Hideho Nakada, his successor Shunsuke Nakamura, and later Shinji Kagawa, these are all people who can occupy a place in European football. In addition to the three of them, there are many outstanding Japanese players who can play football in European teams, most of whom are midfielders.

For a while, there was a very popular view among Chinese fans, that is, China does not lack good forwards, nor does it lack good defenders, but it lacks good midfielders. Japan does not lack good midfielders, but it does not have the top Asian forwards. This shows the excess of midfield talents in Japanese football.

However, nowadays, Japanese football's leading position over Chinese football is already in all aspects. They not only have top Asian midfielders, but also Asian first-class forwards.

This technical and tactical style of Japanese football is not only reflected in their adult national teams, but also in national teams of all ages and even high school teams.

In fact, the entire Japanese football can be regarded as an enlarged version of the Barcelona club. They have emphasized the unity of football style since the youth training, so that their players can easily play in adult teams to maximize the success rate.

Chinese football is completely inferior to Japan in this regard, and its football style is erratic. More than 20 years ago, when people talk about the characteristics of Chinese football, they are "good heading" and "fast horses". Crossing from the side and heading from the middle is one of the magic weapons of Chinese team's offense, so they are nicknamed "Chinese heading team". But when that group of athletes gradually withdrew, the characteristics of Chinese football became increasingly inconspicuous. At the national team level, whoever is strong learns from whom, the style is erratic, and there is no fixed standard. This has led to many things in Chinese football that cannot be continued, and there is no direction for training young people. Good grades are just trying luck, but good luck cannot always be with you. What should I do if my luck is used up?

It is not scary to fall into a trough. What is scary is that you are in the dark and don’t know where to go.

The Japanese team knew what path they should take, so they formulated a "centennial plan" and continued to move forward unswervingly.

This is the characteristic of the Japanese nation. They are more stubborn and abide by the rules. Sometimes the impression they leave on the world is stereotyped, but stereotyped may not necessarily be a derogatory term.

At least, in football, their stubbornness has made them reap the fruits.

But because of their stubbornness and stereotype, they left many people with the impression that they were delicate pass-and-control styles and their physical ability to fight was not good enough, which formed a sharp contrast with the Korean team.

This is a fixed impression, similar to labeling.

Many people think of these keywords when they mention Japanese football, but none of these keywords is related to "football".

However, in this Olympic final, the Japanese team fought against the Chinese team!

If you play with the Chinese team, then there is no big fuss. In the quarter-finals, the Korean team played with the Chinese team. When facing the Korean team, the Chinese team will also focus on how to deal with the Korean team's siege when preparing for the game. Therefore, when the Koreans play like this, the Chinese team is still dealing with it with ease.

But when facing the Japanese team, they never expected that the Japanese team would be so big, so naturally they would not make any targeted arrangements at all.
