Chapter 1221

The Swedish team is not considered a giant in world football. Their best record in the World Cup is that they reached the finals of the World Cup held in their country in 58. In 94, Brolin's Sweden reached the semi-finals. They were not in any cup. Popular, but this Nordic strong team can often sweep the underdogs and shock the strong teams into a cold sweat. The originator of modern football, England, has not been able to defeat them since the 60s.

Swedish football pays attention to discipline and moderate style of play. Among the Nordic brothers who advocate aerial bombing, Swedish football is relatively delicate.However, compared with purely technical teams such as Spain and France, Swedish football retains fierceness and passion. The average height of more than 1.8 meters [-] also allows them to have the air supremacy against any team.

As early as after the Chinese team won the first place in Group F, many Chinese and foreign reporters said that the Swedish team was actually very difficult to play. At that time, many Chinese journalists even became pro-Japanese. They hoped that the Japanese team could eliminate Sweden, so that the Chinese team would have a greater hope of advancing to the quarter-finals (of course, the Japanese team also thought so), but the sky does not follow. I hope that the Swedish team will finally get rid of Japan and qualify from Group E.

The Swedish team is definitely not as good as the Japanese team, but the fans of the Chinese team and the media did not have any complaints. It was beyond their expectations to reach the top 16. Most people thought that the Chinese team would only return after three group matches. The fate of the family, who would have thought that the Chinese team not only advanced, but also squeezed out Spain to advance to the first place in the group.

The game was held at 1:[-] pm local time, which is exactly [-]:[-] midnight in China, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the Chinese team fans. The unexpected victory of the Chinese team stimulated the spirit of the fans like a stimulant. Going too far, missing what might have been a once-in-a-lifetime event, staying up all night without rest, staying up from dark until the game started.

The eighth-final between China and Sweden was held at the Grand Mineiro Stadium. This stadium is located in the city of Belo Horizonte in the southeast of Brazil. This is something that the Chinese team could not arrange before the game. However, the helicopter prepared by Li Huan arrived at the stadium. This time played a major role. They avoided the traffic congestion caused by the increase of fans and saved energy and energy.

As early as an hour before the game, the stadium that can accommodate 75,783 people has closed the gate for fans to enter, because all the fans have already taken their seats. The fans of the Chinese team who entered the knockout round for the first time were excited and nervous. The Swedish fans who were absent from the World Cup saw the possibility of the team going further, and they also came to the stadium early to cheer for their team.

The stands of the Chinese team were full of people. According to statistics, more than 4 Chinese fans appeared in the stands. They were neatly dressed in white team uniforms, holding small national flags that cost one dollar each. With thick red and white oil paint, some have "eight" written on their left cheeks and "qiang" on their right cheeks, some have Li Huan's name painted on their bodies, and some have Li Huan's portrait painted on their chests. At that time, Li Huan had become the idol of the whole people and synonymous with Chinese football.

In contrast, the fans of the Swedish team are a little less.The yellow camp with less than 1000 people is trying to cheer for the players who are warming up on the field. However, in addition to more than 40000 Chinese fans, more neutral fans are inclined to the Chinese team. The Swedes look a bit outnumbered from the stands .

"...The players on both sides are warming up. Judging from the atmosphere of the stadium, the Chinese team is obviously more popular. Whenever a Chinese player takes the ball, the cheers in the stands always surge like a tsunami. Sweden The treatment of the players is much worse, but the shouts of the neutral fans seem to be calling Li Huan's name, maybe the Brazilian players can only know Li Huan."

Duan Xuan looked at the stadium and talked eloquently: "The Chinese team has shown their strength in the previous three group matches, but the media, fans and gaming companies are not optimistic about the Chinese team. Obviously they think that the Chinese team The strength of the top 16 is already against the sky, and if you go forward, even God will be very depressed..."

"China's coach Li Huan made a very bold decision. Facing the powerful Vikings Sweden, he actually gave up the first three successful starts and made a bold change. Judging from the roster we got, the Chinese team They played in a 4321 formation, the single forward was Xu Yang, Yu Tong and the original forward Zhang Dong acted as shadow forwards behind Xu Yang, and the three midfielders: the absolute main force Wu Han dragged behind, Liu Chao and Chen Teng played behind Wu Han. In front of him, among the four defenders, Fan Yang, Li Huan, and Xu Bin remained unchanged, but Wang Chunlei was replaced by Feng Liang, the original Chinese defender who had been hidden by Li Huan. In terms of position, this is the biggest change for the Chinese team. The goalkeeper is still Zong Cheng.”

Afterwards, commentators from various countries were discussing the change of the Chinese team. The German commentator said: "Li Huan has the experience of playing as a central defender and midfielder. The effect is good, but in order to deal with the Swedish team, he suddenly changed his team. The winning formation in the first three games, whether this gamble is right or wrong, can only be tested by the game."

The England commentator said: "The Chinese team has finally changed their formation. Li Huan stood in the middle of the goal. This can certainly prevent the Swedish team from using high-altitude bombing and physical force to attack the Chinese team, but it also sacrificed Li Huan's side assists. I don't know if Li Huan has figured out the gains and losses in the process."

. . . . . . . . .

At this time, the national anthems of China and Sweden were played, and there was a burst of warm applause on the field. The Brazilian referee Luizon blew his whistle, and the penultimate match of the quarter-finals officially started. screen.

"...The World Cup quarter-finals between the Chinese team and the Swedish team has begun. Now let us take a look at the starting lineup of the Swedish team, 442 formation, goalkeeper: Isaacson; defender: Melberg, Maistolo, Olsen Lustig; Midfielders: Bujasmir, Castrom, Larsenham Jr.; Forwards: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Toivo Ning... The first kick-off was the Swedish team... The Vikings played very aggressively. There was the 1.9-meter-[-]-meter-tall god Taib in front of them as a bridgehead. They had no scruples. The ball was passed to the inside and outside of the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, trying to use Ibrahimovic's ferry to play a fast break..."

"... Li Huan is marking Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Li Huan, who is 1.8 meters tall, is not at a disadvantage when marking Ibrahimovic, who is 1.9 meters 33. His strong body and abnormal jumping make Li Huan always Ibrahimovic is able to grab the ball ahead of Ibrahimovic. Now we can see that Li Huan took great pains in this change. The [-]-year-old Ibrahimovic is still the most threatening player in the Swedish team. Ibrahimovic's header skills are not very good Outstanding, but on the contrary, he has extremely unbelievable tricks at his feet, and no one can keep a close eye on Ibrahimovic except Li Huan..."

Swedish coach Hamlen observed the game situation on the field with a calm expression, but his mood was not calm. It was like the sea was churning below. As a coach with rich experience, Hamlen did not take the Chinese team too seriously. The head coach Li Huan took it to heart. He thought that Li Huan was just a talented player and could not have any experience in coaching the national team. However, Hamron was really shocked when he saw that Li Huan just restrained his tactical play after the change. , because Li Huan's bold change of formation definitely comes from trust in his own and opponent's judgment. In other words, Li Huan has seen through his Hamron.

The Swedish team's attempt to use Ibrahimovic to play a strong and fast break went bankrupt. The Chinese team is not conservative today. Although their formation today is flexible and changeable, the 4321 in front of 21 can become two wingers and a center at any time. The two forward midfielders can become two full-backs. It can be said that today's Chinese team has no intention of defending to the end at all. They are preparing to play against the Swedish team.

In the 5th minute, Li Huan predicted in advance, grabbed the ball before Ibrahimovic, and quickly assigned to the wing.

The full-back Feng Liang, who was starting for the first time, took the ball. The Swedish players were very unfamiliar with Feng Liang's characteristics. Feng Liang used his fast and flexible dodging movements to sway the Swedish team's press, and then advanced at high speed, from the full-back The position initiated the assist.

No one thought that Feng Liang's speed would be so fast. No one on the side of the Swedish team could keep up with Feng Liang. There was no bottom pass, but it was passed near the arc of the penalty area.

The Chinese midfielder Yu Tong went through the cracks like a monkey, followed up quickly, and shot the ball with anger.

砰

The football turned into white lightning, passed through the ten fingers of the Swedish goalkeeper Iksasson who was caught off guard, and hit the goal crossbar hard.

A little bad luck, the Chinese team's first shot hit the crossbar.

"Ah! Ah! Ahhhhhh!"

The Swedish fans in the stands let out a terrified exclamation, and many fans couldn't help jumping up from their seats. The fast break of the Chinese team was really a bit fast. If it wasn't for the good luck of the Swedes, now They've already lost the ball.

Hamlen was also taken aback, and said to the assistant coach next to him: "God! Who is this backup full-back? Why is he so fast... This shot is too dangerous, hurry up and check the full-back's name." According to the data, his speed is second only to Li Huan, even faster than that left back Fan, why did Li Huan hide him in front of him...it really makes no sense."
