Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 415 No secrets
The Japanese team was eliminated, and the Chinese fans were very happy-no matter in any aspect, the Chinese don't want the Japanese to stand higher than themselves, especially in sports competitions. They don't want to see Japan enter the semi-finals while China If they didn't enter, they would be very unconvinced.

What does the glory of Asia have to do with us?We only care about the glory of China-this is probably what most Chinese fans mean.

For the Chinese Olympic team, they are preparing for the upcoming battle with a very relaxed attitude-the Football Association did not set any hard targets for the Olympic team before the Olympic Games, but only required them to play in style and level That's enough, and the Olympic team has already exceeded the task. The wonderful performance of the three group matches has won unanimous praise from the European media. People's understanding, let alone the thrilling entry into the top eight.

Therefore, in the past few days of training, the Chinese Olympic team has been filled with a relaxed atmosphere-not the kind of relaxation of putting swords and guns into the warehouse and putting the horse on Nanshan, but the relaxation of mentality.

We don't have any worries - at this level, to say something that shouldn't be said, they have already made money, and any further step forward will be an unexpected surprise.

Of course, whether it is a coach or a player, they don't want Italy to easily step over themselves-if they want to win us into the semi-finals, yes, then they have to come up with something that convinces us!

"I think everyone must know who we are facing." In the locker room of the Chinese team, there was almost an hour before the start of the game. Milu was explaining tactics to the Chinese players with a smile on his face. Milu Undoubtedly a master of psychological adjustment, he clearly knows that the expression and conversation of the head coach in the locker room can affect the psychology of the players during the game.

"The Italian Olympic team, led by the former famous Italian star Tardelli, gathered young elites from various strong teams in Serie A. This team won the European Youth Football Championship in September last year. I I think Nie Fei must be no stranger to the players in this team."

Nie Fei smiled, and he was no stranger. Players in this team, such as Zambrotta, Zanetti, Ventola, Abbiati, etc., had already become the main players in their respective clubs. He has played against each other on the court, let alone Gattuso, who was his teammate for a year.

"The tactics of this team are still the traditional style of the Italian national team - the combination of chain defense in the backcourt and shadow strikers in the frontcourt. The Italian team is never afraid of being overwhelmed by the opponent, so we can't take the offensive approach of pressing out. In terms of tactics and offense, we adopt a defensive counterattack, using the speed of Nie Fei and Hao Dong in the counterattack to create trouble for the opponent. We can use more backcourt to lure Italy to attack. After all, they are a strong team and we are a weak team. We can put down our faces and play iron barrels, but Italy can't. In terms of defense, we must focus on marking their shadow forward Pirlo. He is a traditional Italian No. [-] and a half player. He has excellent skills, slow speed, and excellent organization. Offensive ability, Li Gang, this game does not require you to run in a large area in the backcourt, you just need to follow him closely and not relax for a moment - your physical strength is the best in our team Yes, and only you can complete this task."

Li Gang nodded.

"In terms of defense, we adopt a four-plus-one method. Li Gang marks the man, and the four defenders defend the area. The assists of the full-backs cannot go up at the same time. They take turns. When the full-backs assist, the remaining two midfielders take turns. When counterattacking, no matter who gets the ball, find Nie Fei at the first time. If there is no way to pass it to Nie Fei, then directly hit Zhang Yulin with a long pass to the top of Zhang Yulin's head or behind him, and use Hao Dong's speed. Impact, our tactics are very simple, use quick counterattacks to deal with the Italian concrete defense! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The players replied in unison.

"Everyone should pay attention, we don't have any burden at all, the game we are playing now is the icing on the cake, and any step forward is an extra gain-so we don't need to have any burden during the game, just need to defend , Defense and then defense, counterattack, counterattack and counterattack! Let the proud Italians know that we are not so easy to be eaten, even if we are eaten in the end, they will have a few teeth broken!"

Hearing this, the players all laughed - that's right, bare feet are not afraid of boots, what do we have?We have nothing!If we lose, we are still in the top eight of the Olympic Games, a good result that created history, and if we win, we will win the first prize.

"Brothers, what the proletarians break free is only the shackles, and what they get is the whole world—please, help us get the world back!" Zhu Guosheng, who was playing as a substitute in this game, shook hands with the players one by one, causing others to cry It was a big laugh.

Watching the players walk out of the locker room with enthusiasm, Tang Pengju, who stayed at the end, asked Milu suspiciously: "Bola, since no one will force us to win this game, why do we use such an ugly game?" Pure defensive counterattack tactics? I think it’s better to play against the Italian Olympic team vigorously and let them taste our power.”

"Don't give up lightly under any circumstances, Don." Milu put away his smiling face and said seriously: "Although we have completed the task, the purpose of the football game is not just to complete the task... Yes, It is hard for everyone in the world, including ourselves, to believe that we can knock out Italy to reach the semi-finals, but is this the reason for us to give up the game? Of course, you don’t mean to give up the game, but to be better It is very important to show the mental outlook of the Chinese Olympic team and the character of not being afraid to meet a strong team. However, we have proved our offensive courage and ability in the group stage, so why still How about showing unnecessary courage in such a game? Courage is definitely not the courage of a man, let alone rushing forward to fight to the death in the face of a strong opponent. Italy's strength lies in defense and quick counterattack. Although offense is not our weakness, but It's not a good choice to fight against the opponent's strengths. Facing a strong opponent, let them feel tired-this is the case now, the Italian team must win, it doesn't matter if we lose, this is our opportunity, The current situation is actually very beneficial to us. In order to enter the semi-finals, the Italian team can only give up their good defense and counterattack and adopt the oppressive attack they are not good at against us. This is what we can take advantage of.”

Speaking of this, Milu patted Tang Pengju on the shoulder: "You know, Italy definitely doesn't want us to be dragged into a penalty shootout...Although they have the best goalkeeper in the world, they have never won a penalty shootout. ……Ha ha!"

After speaking, Milu laughed and walked out of the locker room. Tang Pengju looked at Milu's back and suddenly laughed too: "Have you never given up on this game? Do you want to win this game? It really is a Ambitious guy! I hope your idea can really come true, maybe it will allow Chinese football to win the first Olympic medal."

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, now we are broadcasting the quarter-finals of the 2000 Sydney Olympic football match. The Chinese Olympic team played against the Italian Olympic team. This is the last match of the quarter-finals In the first three games, three of the final four have been determined. Cameroon, Chile and the United States have become part of the Olympic semi-finals. This game is related to who gets the final four. Today China The Olympic team still formed a four-three-one-two formation. The goalkeeper Jiang Hai, the four defenders are Sun Chenghai, Li Wei, captain Fan General and Wu Jiang. There was a little change in the midfield. The 20-year-old Zheng Zhi from Yunjiatianyu replaced him. Sui Liang is the starter, the other two defensive midfielders are Li Gang and Zhao Junzhe, the front midfielder Nie Fei, and the two forwards are Hao Dong and Zhang Yulin. The Italian Olympic team still uses their traditional four-four-one formation, and the goalkeeper is Abbiati from AC Milan, the four defenders from right to left are Zanchi from Udinese, Grandoni from Turin, Ferrari from Bari and Cirillo from Inter Milan , the midfielder is Zanetti from Roma and Gattuso who once played for Yunjiatianyu in China and now plays for AC Milan. Ambrosini sits on the bench and the left midfielder is from Juventus Zambrotta, the right midfielder is also Maresca from Juventus, and the shadow striker is played by Inter Milan's Pirlo. Ventola of Lonia."

"I believe that fans who are familiar with Serie A can feel that the players in this starting lineup are all players who have been the main players or important substitutes in the Serie A team, especially players like Zambrotta, Abbiati, Gattuso, etc. These three players have firmly occupied a main position in super teams like Juventus and AC Milan. Pirlo is also an important member of Inter Milan. In terms of reputation, the Chinese Olympic team is not at the same level at all. In fact, more importantly, Gattuso has played in China for two seasons and is very familiar with the players of the Chinese Olympic team. Nie Fei, the core midfielder of the Chinese Olympic team, plays in Serie A. I believe that Italy also treats him well. No strangers, for them, we have no secrets at all. I hope that the players of the Chinese Olympic team can play in style and level in this game, and dedicate a wonderful game to the fans!"
