Chapter 1231 World Cup legend unlucky Uruguay

Seeing that the Chinese team formed a 433 formation, Uruguay coach Tavares showed a trace of anger on his face. Although he was very low-key, in his heart, European and American teams looked down on Asian and African teams. They were studying with the prince. China played Sweden with a formation of 4321. When facing Uruguay, they even formed an attacking formation of 433. Isn't this obviously not taking Uruguay seriously?

But Tavares quickly laughed again, thinking that Li Huan was still young after all, won a few games, and reached the quarterfinals. , that's okay, when Li Huan tastes the pain, he will know that the semi-finals are not just for anyone who wants to.

Tavares' face completely fell into the eyes of the assistant coach Chu Fu, Chu Fu secretly smiled, and couldn't help secretly admiring Li Huan's cunning and wisdom, but he just fine-tuned the formation of the previous game, and the result made the veteran calm Tavares lost his composure.If Uruguay dare to advance aggressively, they must be greeted by the lightning counterattack of the Chinese team.

force!
With the whistle of the Italian referee Rossetti, the quarter-finals between the Chinese team and Uruguay kicked off.

The Uruguayan team kicked off first. Although Tavares was dissatisfied with the Chinese team's behavior of not taking Uruguay seriously, he did not lose his mind. The team still played steadily according to his pre-match arrangements, without a good chance Not easy to lose the ball and pass the threat of the ball.

Although the Chinese team set up a 433 formation, they were not in a hurry to win. Only striker Xu Yang crossed the half-court alone, and everyone else compressed the space in their own half-court to siege and harass their opponents.Even Xu Yang who crossed the half-court was not purely for offense, because the opponent's central defender Lugano was excellent in offense and defense, and had the ability to organize with one hand, so Xu Yang pushed forward to harass him and not let him go forward and organizational opportunities.Fans with a bit of experience know that the first pass is very important in an attack from the backcourt. If the first pass is not good, everyone will feel awkward when they take the ball and may be intercepted by the opponent.

However, the Uruguayan team still showed that they surpassed the Swedish team in terms of technical and tactical capabilities and personal skills. They entered the semi-finals last year, won the America’s Cup, and now they easily entered the quarter-finals. According to Reis, Uruguay is now a strong team in the world.

The game had just started at 5 minutes and 43 seconds. Amid the crazy cheers of nearly [-] Uruguayan fans, the Uruguayan team, which took the lead in kick-off, played a very threatening offensive under the patient organization.

Juventus' winger fast horse' Caceres took the ball, used the South American's cunning tricks to sway the defense of the Chinese midfielder Chen Teng, and used the strong and fast man to pass the full-back Fan Yang, but After seeing the defensive players of the Chinese team retreat, he did not make a pass from the bottom, but a flexible and sudden high-altitude pass to the vicinity of the arc of the penalty area.

Forlan and Cavani opened up the defensive players of the Chinese team. Uruguayan striker Gonzalez has followed up quickly and shot angrily at the ball.
boom!
The ball was like a red lightning bolt, passing through the ten fingers of Chinese goalkeeper Zong Cheng who hadn't warmed up, and smashed hard on the goal crossbar
"what!"

The Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV screamed in horror. The Uruguayan fans couldn’t help jumping up from their seats, and then sighed regretfully. If the goal is scored, it will be a dream for Uruguay At the beginning, unfortunately, their luck was not good.

Li Huan was also taken aback when the Chinese team passed by with the 'conceded goal'. He emphasized the threat of Cavani and Forlan too much before the game, but the players ignored the other players of the Uruguayan team. The most powerful thing about Uruguay is not the stars, but the overall team that they have honed for eight years, which is longer than the time the club team has been together.

In fact, according to the level of competition, the World Cup is not as good as the Champions League knockout, because the players of the national team have a short time to run in together, and they can't buy what they lack. It's just because the impact of the World Cup is too great, and the scope of his influence has surpassed. Fans and football, and it is held every four years, so the World Cup champion is higher than the Champions League champion, and has become one of the standards for the king.

Although Gonzalez hit the ball on the crossbar, the Uruguayan fans in the stands applauded vigorously. The team's performance made them very satisfied, which allowed them to see the dawn of victory.

The Chinese team was frightened into a cold sweat by the opponent's long shot, and then they played more cautiously, not only paying attention to the Uruguayan players who moved flexibly in the frontcourt, but also did not let go of the middle and backcourts inserted in the middle and sideways Players, even at the expense of fouls to disrupt the opponent's threatening offense.

The mentality of the Uruguayan players is very stable, and the missed opportunity did not affect them in any way. They still controlled the ball steadily and charged towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

In the 13th minute of the game, the Chinese team's double-teaming did not interrupt Uruguay's continuous passing. After the continuous inversion in the midfield, Uruguay suddenly accelerated the passing speed in the frontcourt. The players in front were all The way of kicking the ball made the defensive players of the Chinese team unable to keep up with the offensive rhythm of the Uruguayan team. Their fouls only brought down the players after the ball was thrown. The referee did not interrupt the game based on the principle of favorable offense .

Fran kicked the ball with his arch, and the ball entered the penalty area. Uruguayan midfielder Arevalo also infiltrated the penalty area!

"Danger!" the narrator yelled.

Zong Cheng, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, was extremely focused. He had already made a prediction in advance. When Arevalo rushed into the penalty area, he also quickly attacked to pounce on Fran's tricky pass.

When Zong Cheng's hand touched the ball, Arevalo's foot also touched the ball. Arevalo didn't stop his foot, but the ball still changed direction when it hit Zong Cheng's hand and flew to the baseline.

The stands sighed again, Uruguay had another good chance, but still failed to break through the door of the Chinese team.

The Uruguayan commentator said regretfully: "It's a pity! What a pity! If it was Cavani who just entered the penalty area, this goal will be there!"

However, the Uruguayan commentator only thought about Cavani entering the penalty area, but he didn't see that it was Li Huan who blocked the line of Cavani's oblique insertion into the penalty area, which made this extremely fast shooter not find opportunities.

Being threatened twice by their opponents, the Chinese team was a little impatient because they hadn't gotten a single shot, not even a long shot.Although this is because the opponent has control of the ball and has been attacking, the Chinese team is mainly defensive, but this is also related to Uruguay's strong defense.

Uruguay's defensive line is very reasonable. The central defender combination of captain Lugano and Victorino is very stable. Of course, this is the suspension of the main central defender Godin, otherwise their central defender combination is even more terrifying.The two full-backs Pereira and Caceres are excellent offensive and defensive, especially for wing defense. The goalkeeper Muslera is also very stable. His stable performance ensures that Uruguay's defense is extremely stable.In addition to the excellent back four and goalkeeper, there are three excellent midfielders in front of them.The three midfielders are all-round players. They built a barrier in front of the defense line. Many potential threats of the Chinese team were strangled by the midfielders with excellent defensive awareness early on outside the penalty area.

In the 20th minute of the game, the impatient Chinese team gave the Uruguayans another chance to attack. After Uruguay made three simple passes and two passes, Forlan inserted into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. When Bin and midfielder Wu Han wanted to close the door and block Fran's forward path, the 35-year-old Fran made a seemingly unhappy spike, but with good timing, he dodged past the two of them.

Fran, who had an open space, gave up entering the penalty area and shot directly. With his superb footwork, if Fran completes the shooting action, Zong Cheng may only have to go to the net to pick up the ball.

But at this moment, Xu Bin, who had been trained by Li Huan to have an instinctive fouling ability, came directly after Fran's spike, and when Fran's leg hit the ball, it happened to be Xu Bin's leg. It was also time, and Fran's shot was only halfway through. Before he could exert his strength, Xu Bin kicked him to the ground, and the ball flew into nowhere.

"Chinese kong-fu!"

"Damn! Sweep the legs!"

The Uruguayan fans shouted and criticized in the stands, and the Uruguayan players also ran over excitedly.

force!
The referee Rossetti's whistle sounded in due course.

yellow card!Free kick!

However, the Uruguayan fans, players and coaches were not satisfied. They still pointed and stepped forward to ask the referee to show a red card because Xu Bin's actions were very bad.

However, just 20 minutes into the game, the Italian referee did not want to break the balance of the game prematurely. He ignored the protests of the Uruguayans and still insisted on his own penalty.

Forlan, who got up from the ground, personally took the free kick in this excellent position.

Because the former European Golden Boot Fran's long-range shooting and free kick ability is very strong, although it is not as good as Li Huan's 100%, but the free kick in this position also has an accuracy rate of [-] to [-]%.

The players of the Chinese team lined up a human wall nervously. Li Huan stood in front of Fran very skillfully to prevent him from taking free kicks to play a sneak attack. Li Huan, who played in Europe, had already experienced the cunning of South Americans.

Sure enough, Fran glanced at Li Huan and gave up the idea.

After the human wall was lined up, as the referee Rossetti blew his whistle, the banana ball out of the inside of Forlan's right foot drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Zong Cheng, the talented goalkeeper of the Chinese team, used all his strength to fly and dive without touching the ball.

Seeing the arc of the ball heading towards the dead corner, all the fans held their breath, their nervous heartbeats stopped.Only Li Huan glanced at the ball's trajectory with a sneer and shouted "Goal post!"

Li Huan's words were like a curse, and the ball hit the goal post again and bounced out.
