Chapter 1212

However, Paraguay is known as the "Italy of South America", and naturally has an Italian style. Just play your own defensive counterattack, appreciate your own defensive art, and ignore what others say about them, ugly or beautiful, this is not considered by Paraguay. , They only care about winning or losing, and they will only consider attacking when the defensive counterattack cannot secure the victory.

The first half ended in a negative match between the two teams. The fans of the Chinese team were very satisfied with the score of 1:0. Paraguay was able to beat Spain, which shows that its strength is strong. It is already very good for the Chinese team to take the lead. The general Turkey is not as easy as the score shows, and the Chinese team only wins in efficiency.

The Paraguayan fans were very dissatisfied. Their expectations were too high, and they didn’t even think about a draw. Now after halftime, Paraguay not only fell behind, but also had no way to defend the Chinese team. There were very few threatening shots in 45 minutes. Let the fans see no hope. Although the Paraguayan fans did not boo their players, when Paraguay was off the field, no fans applauded them. They just silently watched Paraguay walk into the mixed channel with his head down.

What moved the Paraguayan players was that at the door of the locker room, the legendary goalkeeper Laverty was waiting there, hugged them one by one, and encouraged them to say: "You guys are good, you have to believe that you can win, and then Fight with confidence until the end of the game."

Back in the locker room, head coach Arce also analyzed the reason for conceding the goal in the first half. He underestimated the courage and strength of the Chinese team. He was caught off guard by the Chinese team in the first 10 minutes of the first half, which eventually resulted in conceding the goal.Of course, the most important thing is that Paraguay has poor offensive ability and cannot break the intensive defense of the Chinese team.

Breaking dense defenses is a worldwide problem. The only way to solve this problem is long-range shots and set-pieces. Of course, Barcelona's penetration ability can also break through most of the iron barrel formations, but Paraguay can only use set-pieces. Their set-pieces also failed in the first half.

Arce is a defender who pays attention to defense and is very pragmatic. He made the players realize the reality. The Chinese team definitely doesn't want to attack. They must find a way to break the Chinese team's iron barrel formation. Long-range shots are used to open up the gap in the Chinese team's defense and improve the efficiency of the goal. If there is no chance to equalize, they will at least not be able to concede the ball again, because it is not that they have no chance to advance after losing this ball. than goal difference.

Li Huan, who is also a defender, also attaches great importance to defense. At the beginning of the formation of the team, he used intensive defense and his own offense to win precious time, and finally made a bloody way out of the qualifiers. Now that the team is basically in shape, Li Huan still Putting defense first, in Li Huan's words, is to be invincible before thinking about defeating the opponent. It is a reckless man who fights to the death with his opponent every time, not a real brave man.

In this match against Paraguay, the Chinese team needed a victory rather than a draw, so Li Huan took the risk of attacking at the beginning of the game. After the risk was successful, Li Huan immediately returned to the normal state of defensive counterattack. After half the game, Li Huan had already tried it out easily. This Paraguay team is strong in defense and weak in offense, and there are no other tricks in offense except for a stronger set kick.Of course Li Huan would not use his own weaknesses to attack his opponent's strongest point.

Neither side changed players in the second half, but Paraguay were not as conservative as they were in the last moments of the first half, and they enriched their offensive routines.Long-range shots, bottom passes, penetration in the middle, personal breakthroughs, all kinds of tactics combined together bombarded the Chinese team's defense indiscriminately.

The game is almost a half-court offense and defense. The players of the Chinese team rarely get the ball except for the siege. Even if they succeed in the occasional steal, their first choice is to see if there is a chance for Li Huan to get the ball. For Li Huan, Li Huan was marked by someone around him, so he directly lobbed the ball to the frontcourt to clear the siege instead of organizing an offensive.

In the huge frontcourt, the Chinese team did not leave a single striker, and both Zhang Dong and Xu Yang returned to their own half to defend!

However, this does not mean that the Chinese team did not fight back, because the Chinese team's arrows are hidden behind. Paraguay dare not keep people in the defense line.

The commentators are analyzing the situation of the game again: "...the Chinese team still insists on their own defensive and counterattack style of play. Although one-to-zero is not safe enough, compared with breaking through Paraguay's iron wall, it is still safer to defend. After all Losing is also a very bad thing for Paraguay... Although the Paraguayans occupy more than 80.00% of the offensive, judging from the current situation, they still have no way to pose a threat to the Chinese team's goal. They have five times The goal was shot, but it either hit the defender or fired an anti-aircraft gun! The seemingly passive Chinese seized the weakness of the Paraguayan and actually took the initiative in the game."

Time is passing by little by little, the picture of the game seems to be frozen, it is always the same, Paraguay makes a pass, the Chinese team clears, Paraguay shoots from a long distance, hits the defender, Paraguay breaks through, the ball is broken, Paraguay takes a free kick , There was chaos in the penalty area, and then it was still impossible to score.

Just when everyone was numb, there was a sudden commotion in the stands. First there were exclamations, then cheers, and then a tsunami-like shout: "Li Huan! Li Huan!"

It turned out that the defender Li Huan of the Chinese team suddenly cruised to the middle to steal Valdés successfully, passed the counter-robbed Odigoza on the spot, avoided the dense crowd in the middle, and was taking the ball along the sideline to kill Paraguay's half. ...

It was the full-back Cáceres who rushed to defend Li Huan at the first time.

Facing Li Huan who was dribbling the ball at high speed, Caceres, a teenager playing for Sao Paulo in Brazil, instinctively realized that it was impossible to steal the ball from Li Huan.

However, Li Huan did not give Cáceres the chance to lead the card. When he was five or six meters away from Cáceres, Li Huan changed the direction of the ball significantly. We are at a disadvantage. Li Huan flicked the ball four or five meters away, but no Paraguayan player could grab the ball. If it was in the Chinese team's half, the ball would be kicked half a meter away from the body. where.

Li Huan cut to the middle at high speed, Caceres had to stop and move quickly to the middle, continuing to block Li Huan's advancing route.

Li Huan traveled through a space of five or six meters very quickly, and the first thing he did when he encountered the ball was to step on the ball and make an emergency stop, and then steered the ball to the side.

Li Huan's emergency stop made Cáceres dizzy, and when the ball changed direction again, Cáceres couldn't support his body anymore and fell directly on the turf.

After this delay, the forwards of the Chinese team also rushed up. Li Huan wanted to make a pass from the bottom, but he saw that the speed of the forward Zhang Dong was much faster than the two central defenders of Paraguay. He waited until Zhang Dong When he was one body away from the two central defenders, he shouted "Zhang Dong! Go!" and passed the ball behind the Paraguayan defender.

Like a conditioned reflex, Zhang Dong exerted all his breastfeeding strength and rushed forward with all his might.

Da Silva and Veron are two central defenders.They are top-notch in blocking positions, and they are also excellent in mutual defense and steals. However, their speed is a disadvantage. It is only because Paraguay mostly plays defensive counterattacks, so their disadvantages are not shown. Now when they are counterattacking, Zhang Dong The shortcomings of both of them were exposed at once.The two tried their best to chase back, but they chased farther and farther. They could only watch Zhang Dong go straight into the penalty area.

The Paraguayan goalkeeper Bilal quickly attacked, ready to pounce on Zhang Dong's foot. Facing the good opportunity of his first goal, Zhang Dong decisively blasted a world wave. The football is as fast as lightning. Although the talented goalkeeper Bilal fought hard to save , but the football still rushed into the goal from the far corner...

2:0! !
The seemingly passive Chinese team actually led 2:0!
Before Zhang Dong shot, many Chinese female fans could hardly resist covering their eyes with their fingers.They knew in their hearts that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the ball scored, the Chinese team would basically win, and it would be almost impossible to get out of the group stage.

When Zhang Dong scored a goal, the tension of all the Chinese fans just now turned into happiness. They jumped up and cheered for him frantically, the expressions on their faces were exaggerated to the point of distorted, as if they were seen in a distorting mirror.

Zhang Dong, who scored his first goal, took off his shirt frantically, ran to the stands waving, and grabbed the guardrail and shouted wildly.

Li Huan was hugging and congratulating with the players at first, but when he saw Zhang Dong taking off his jersey, his expression darkened. The game was still 20 minutes away, because taking off his jersey and receiving a yellow card was too irrational and brain-dead. Both live to score goals and they also have to defend.

After the Chinese team scored again, Paraguay couldn't stand it anymore. It broke their psychological defense line 2:0, and if the score was better than the goal difference, they would also be at a disadvantage. The rabbit was anxious and bit. What's more, it was Paraguay, and Paraguay held the idea of ​​​​burning everything together, regardless of the danger, and aggressively pressed the attack.

The Chinese team defended and counterattacked in an orderly manner. After 10 minutes, when Paraguay couldn't attack for a long time and was upset, Li Huan gave them another blow to the head.

This time it was still Li Huan who made the steal, and then made a long pass from the backcourt to find Zhang Dong in front, making full use of Zhang Dong's speed.

Li Huan's long pass was extremely accurate. After Zhang Dong scored a goal, Zhang Dong seemed to be enlightened. Break the net and rewrite the score to 3:0.
After 4 to 0, Paraguay was completely dizzy, and then they were counterattacked by the Chinese team one after another. Xu Yang seized the opportunity of a one-handed goal. In the end, the Chinese team slaughtered [-]:[-] in this game that was related to the group qualifying Paraguay.
