Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 411 One ahead?not enough!

But it's just taking the lead. The Chilean team's ability to grab the second qualifying spot in South America, where there are many strong teams, and even squeeze the famous Argentina team out of the Olympics is not only due to their offense, but more. Relying on their defense - when they faced the mighty Argentina in the last battle, they used their tenacious defense to resist Argentina's numerous attacks, and finally relied on Navia's goal 4 minutes before the end of the game to kill Argentina .

Therefore, even if Zamorano did not play, they are still a strong team (Zamorano was not there during the Olympic South American preliminaries), although the Chilean team has the idea of ​​​​saving strength in this game , but preserving strength does not necessarily mean giving up this game. You must know that they still have the possibility of not qualifying.

The Chinese Olympic team took the lead after the opening, but they couldn't turn the lead into a victory. The Chilean team's airtight defense made the Chinese team's offense very difficult, and Milu's ranking appeared. An obvious mistake. He originally assigned Li Jinyu and Hao Dong as partners because they are both skilled. With the support of Nie Fei behind him, they can often play quite beautifully, but he forgot. Under the opponent's intensive defense, it is often difficult for this kind of technical combination to find the rhythm they are used to. In fact, when facing such a strong defense, a center like Zhang Yulin can play a very good effect on the contrary.

A striker like Li Jinyu is not particularly good in physical fitness, fast, and not strong in confrontation. His ability to gain a foothold in the Brazilian league is entirely due to his keen sense of smell in front of the goal. Only with the strong and tacit support of the midfielder can he play the greatest role. It is basically impossible to expect him to dribble and break through to complete the attack alone.

There is no high point in the middle of the cross from the two wings. It is basically difficult for Hao Dong and Li Jinyu to get a point shot under the close defense of the opponent, and Nie Fei is closely defended by the opponent. Sun Chenghai and Wu Jiang occasionally break through from the side. He was able to create a little opportunity, but was quickly submerged in the opponent's crowd tactics. Zhao Junzhe was completely restrained by Pizarro. Although Sui Liang's organizational skills were not bad, he could only try to rely more on luck in the face of such a dense defense. As for Li Gang - it's better not to count on his offense.

With no choice, the Chinese Olympic team can only directly hand the ball to the two forwards to create some opportunities with their personal abilities. Hao Dong is fine, his explosive power and ability to dribble make the opponent's defender very afraid. As for Li Jinyu—his world is in the penalty area, the closer he is to the goal, the more powerful he will be. If he withdraws from the penalty area, his ability will be reduced by at least half.

After seeing Li Jinyu withdraw from the penalty area to get the ball to break through but was cut off by the opponent, Pei Wei beside the TV shook his head helplessly. The Qianglibao youth team is really interesting. Maybe it is inspired by the personality of Brazil. Affected by the current football atmosphere, several players who have played well have distinct characteristics and shortcomings. Li Gang's defensive stealing ability is excellent, but his offensive ability is terrible. The demeanor of the "lone wolf" Romario is an amateur when he leaves the penalty area. Li Wei's defensive ability is excellent at the first time, but he is very fraught, and is easy to be swayed by fake moves. It’s poor and blank—the advantages are as obvious as the disadvantages. No wonder not many players played, because they all returned to China at that time, and the domestic football coaches were almost paranoid at that time. To be able to defend like a defender, to require a defender to score like a striker, to require a midfielder to be able to run across the field to block opponents and to make an aura-filled pass—to put it simply, it is hoped that all players are Bacon A combination of Paul, Cruyff, Maradona, and Romario - is there such a player?
Fortunately, the atmosphere of the domestic league has changed now. The style of emphasizing technology and emphasizing characteristics has allowed the Qianglibao players who have not returned to China to retain their characteristics to the greatest extent-how many players can truly achieve comprehensive skills?There are no bad players, only coaches who use bad players.

The opponent is like a spring, if you are weak, he will be strong-this is the unbreakable truth of football games-when your offense cannot create enough pressure on the opponent, then it is the opponent's turn to show off.

The Chinese team attacked for a while, but failed to pose any threat to the opponent's goal. After a little relaxation, the Chilean team immediately launched a counterattack and began to use offense to suppress the Chinese team's offense. Before Zamorano came The main striker Navia's shots after two consecutive breakthroughs are very threatening. If it weren't for the excellent defense of General Fan and Jiang Hai, the Chinese team might lose the gate.

Milou had to stand up and temporarily adjust his tactics—it can’t go on like this anymore. There has been news from another field that Spain leads Morocco [-]-[-], which means that the Chinese team can’t expect a draw to qualify. Must win!
"Control the ball more in the midfield! Give the ball to Nie Fei more and let him organize the offense!" Even if Milu had a thousand tricks in his stomach, he couldn't use them at this time. The game only started 10 minutes ago, and it was impossible to pass. Substitutions are used to change tactics, and there is no time for him to change the formation for the players-the fourth official is watching from the sidelines, even if he does not warn him, warning the interpreter Lin Cheng is enough for him, so he can only choose The easiest way is to give the ball to the player with the best ball control and organizational skills in the team, and use his personal ability to stabilize the team.

Fortunately, the Chinese Olympic team is now used to running the team with Nie Fei as the core, otherwise it will definitely cause confusion for a period of time - before the start of the game, Milu fully considered that the opponent would closely defend Nie Fei, but The tactic of using Nie Fei in the front as a cover and actually using the assists of the two full-backs and Sui Liang and Zhao Junzhe's attack as the main means of attack is now suddenly overturning the tactic that has been prepared for a long time. If they are already familiar with it, they must give each other a chance.

Although the current atmosphere of Chinese football is much better than before, the habit of seniority ranking still exists in the national team. Nie Fei has never achieved such a high status in the national team before, but now he is in the Olympic team. In terms of fame No one is more suitable for this core than Nie Fei in terms of strength and strength. There are only three players who are older than Nie Fei. Among them, General Fan and Jiang Hai are both defensive players. It is impossible to serve as this core. The relationship between Hao Dong and Nie Fei is Quite good - that's why Milu chose an overage player in the forward, defender and goalkeeper, but did not arrange one in the most important midfielder.

When Nie Fei heard Lin Cheng's shouting from the sidelines, he knew that his role in this game had changed—from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, from a supporting role to a leading role—this meant that he Will be more tired, will take on more responsibilities.

But he's used to taking responsibility like this - that's how he was in Perugia, organizing the midfield, passing the ball to the most suitable route for the attacking players, and then deciding whether to rush into the penalty area to shoot or retreat according to the actual situation. One point to organize the attack of the second wave of offensive. After adding such a point to get the ball in the midfield, the Chinese team's offense began to appear more layered, and the pressure on the opponent was also greater. The rest of the first half Within a short period of time, several good chances were created in a row, but they failed to score under the defense of the opponent's defenders.

During the halftime break, Milu adjusted the lineup appropriately. Zhang Yulin came on to replace Li Jinyu, Zhang Xiaorui came on to replace Zhao Junzhe, and Pizarro was replaced by Sui Liang to defend. In this way, the attack points in the midfield increased to two. The presence of Zhang Yulin in the penalty area made the pass from the two wings more threatening in the penalty area, and the Chinese team's offense was completely alive.

No.607 minutes, the unremitting attack of the Chinese team finally paid off. Nie Fei scored the ball in the middle. Wu Jiang broke through from the left and made a cross. Nie Fei took the corner kick, and the Chilean defender pushed it out first, but Li Gang pushed the ball down in front of the penalty area. General Fan, who inserted into the opponent's penalty area to assist, received the pass and cleverly passed it diagonally to the corner of the penalty area on the left. Wu Jiang on the ground, Wu Jiang pretended to break through to the bottom line, but cleverly dunked the ball back. After taking two steps horizontally, he took a strong shot with his left foot before the opponent's defender came up to block it!
The ball drew an unusually obvious downward arc in the air, and got into the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal!
One to zero!Wu Jiang's wonderful shot gave the Chinese team a golden goal and a hard-won lead!
When the players of the Chinese team celebrated wildly on the field, the members of the Chinese coaching staff couldn't laugh - on another field, the Spanish team also scored their second goal of the game!

Now the Chinese team scored six goals and conceded four goals in three games, while the Spanish team scored six goals and conceded five goals. As long as the Spanish team scores one more goal, they can count on one more goal with the same goal difference. The advantage squeezed out the Chinese team and entered the quarterfinals!
If the Chinese team wants to be safe, then it must score a goal—then at least tie the Chilean team in terms of goal difference and goals, and the Chinese team won the Chilean team in the head-to-head match (provided that the Chinese team [-]-[-] to win this game), then you can suppress the Chilean team and completely get a ticket to enter the quarterfinals.

But can the Chilean team easily let the Chinese team get what they want?
