Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 540

"You don't need to pay too much attention to other games. In any case, other games have nothing to do with us. What we have to do is to play our games well." Milu said to the players in the locker room.

It is now 22:[-] p.m. on June [-], half an hour before the start of the match between the Chinese team and Uruguay.

It was intentional for Milu to say this to the players. In the match between South Korea and Spain that started five hours ago, the referee on duty canceled two good goals from Spain. In the end, the South Koreans who were running all over the field were in 120 minutes. In the minute of the game, they drew [-]-[-] with Spain, and then won [-]-[-] in the penalty shootout, becoming the first Asian team to enter the semi-finals of the World Cup.

After watching the game, all the Chinese players were yelling at the Koreans for not being a thing. They actually blatantly used the home court advantage to this point. Deco, who played in La Liga, was so excited that he almost fell off the TV—seeing Those outstanding opponents and teammates in La Liga were bullied by Koreans in this way, and Deco felt that it was an insult to himself.

The other players were also a little envious in their anger-if the referee helped us in this way, it would not be impossible for us to enter the final!
It was precisely when he noticed such signs among the players that Milu would remind them in time and let them come back to the game-Pei Wei also said: "Do you think it is worthwhile to get good results in this way?" Is it a glorious thing? I can tell you responsibly that the Koreans will definitely suffer when the next World Cup is held! Don’t forget, the next World Cup will be held in Europe! And such behavior is very important to Korean football in the World Cup. The image will have a big impact! We must behave more aboveboard in the game, no matter what results we get, what we want is a clear conscience! Now, everyone, let’s focus on the game field, we can’t behave worse than South Korea Bad, no matter what, we have to win this game and enter the semi-finals, do you remember our goal? What is it?"

"Play seven games!" The players shouted in unison.

"Very good, now let's talk about the tactics we used in today's game." Milu looked around at all the players: "Our formation today is still [-]. Goalkeeper Jiang Hai, defenders Sun Chenghai, Li Wei, General Fan and Wu Jiying , midfielder, Li Gang, Zhang Yiming, Deke, Nie Fei, forward Adriano, Hao Dong."

Ma Tian didn't play, and the captain's armband was worn on General Fan's arm.

Milu drew on the tactical layout board: "Zhang Yiming, your task today is to follow Recoba closely and stalk him to death! Use your speed, strength and stamina to prevent Recoba from getting the ball! Li Gang , and you are responsible for filling positions everywhere. All the offense in the midfield is handed over to Nie Fei and Deco. It is best not to foul, because among our opponents, there is an opponent who is particularly good at free kicks, and we cannot give him any chance! Nie Fei, I think you have the most say in this matter, you come to everyone Say it."

Nie Fei stood up: "Recoba's free kick is really good... Take the game we played away against Inter Milan last season, we even performed better than Inter Milan in the first seven and 10 minutes Excellent, but in the last 10 minutes, Recoba changed the whole game! Two consecutive direct free kicks sent us into the abyss... one 25 meters, one 30 meters! Recoba is the kind of epiphany Game-changing player, thankfully he can't consistently perform at the highest level, otherwise I can't think of anything that would stop him!"

"I really hope that he is in poor form in this game..." Zhu Guosheng said with longing, and Milu criticized him as soon as he said this: "Unfortunately, he scored four goals in the first two games. I don't think his state will suddenly drop...Fortunately, you are not the main force, if you have such thoughts, you will be taught a lesson!"

Zhu Guosheng stuck out his tongue and remained silent. Milu's original intention was not to criticize him, but to sound the alarm for the players on the field through him.

In this game, the tasks of the three offensive cores identified by Milu: Nie Fei, Deco and Adriano are as important as ever, but relying on them alone is not enough. In fact, in the tactics arranged by Milu, in addition Whether the four play well is the winner of this game.

Two defensive midfielders and two full backs, Zhang Yiming, Li Gang, Sun Chenghai and Wu Jiying.

The extent to which Zhang Yiming can defend Recoba determines how much pressure the Chinese team's defense will be under. Zhang Yiming is responsible for dealing with Recoba, and the defensive task of the Chinese team's midfield falls to Li Gang. Similarly, Since there is no special full-back in the midfield, the two full-backs, Sun Chenghai and Wu Jiying, must bear all the offense on the side. The four of them are the winners and losers of the Chinese team in this game.

When important players are familiar to both sides, the level of performance of usually inconspicuous players can determine the outcome of a game.

Uruguay's lineup in this game is very close to that of the Chinese team. It is also a [-] formation. The goalkeeper is Carlini from Juventus. Two of the four full-backs are from the top two domestic players - Pena Rolle and the players of the national team, Mendes and Rodriguez, the two central defenders are Serie A partners, Montero from Juventus and Sorondo from Inter Milan, and the midfielders are Garcia and Rodriguez from Venice. Santos from Valencia plays a double defensive midfielder, and in front of them is O'Neal from Perugia. The forward is composed of Forlan and Silva. Recoba's position is very active, between the midfielder and the forward. Position is also Recoba's best position.

In the midfield, the Uruguayan coaches Pua and Milu have similar ideas. They both put two relatively rough skills in front of the penalty area, but they have plenty of physical fitness, fighting for a fierce midfielder, and put an offensive and defensive midfielder in front of them. , and in front of it is a flexible attacking midfielder-the tactics of both sides are similar, and the comparison is which player is in better condition and performs better.

When Pua saw the main lineup sent by Milu, he thought that Milu had the same considerations as him...but he forgot that someone like Milu is good at how to turn the situation of the game to his best advantage As far as the head coach is concerned, how could he put Bao on the fact that his players are in better condition than their opponents?

He is good at using surprise soldiers, adjusting the lineup, and arranging troops. Although in modern football with highly developed information, the so-called "surprise soldiers" are just a joke, but Milu can still surprise the opponent.

**************************************
Only 5 minutes into the game, Recoba got rid of Zhang Yiming's defense with a beautiful running position. His teammates immediately sent the ball to his feet. Shot, the ball was saved by Jiang Hai.

In the 7th minute, the Chinese team made a beautiful counterattack. Deco's direct pass almost made Hao Dong single-handedly. Hao Dong broke through Montero and shot, but was stopped by the Juventus central defender at the moment he kicked the ball. Was thrown into the arms of Carlini.

No. In the 11th minute, Recoba gave the ball to Fran. After taking the ball, Fran broke through Li Wei's defense and volleyed vigorously in the penalty area. The ball missed the far post.

No. In the 13th minute, the Chinese team played a continuous pass in the midfield. Deco's diagonal pass from the middle made Nie Fei directly face the goalkeeper from a small angle. His powerful shot was saved by Carini and Deco opened Taking a corner kick, General Fan, who assisted and stepped forward, headed high.

No. In the 16th minute, Recoba moved in the middle, and O'Neal secretly handed the ball to Fran, who had withdrawn from the penalty area. Fran saw that Li Wei did not follow, and immediately shot a high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area. , The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar heavily and bounced on the goal line. Jiang Hai immediately hugged the ball with both hands, and it took a long time to recover.

Immediately after Jiang Hai threw the ball to launch an attack, Sun Chenghai dribbled the ball forward to assist, and under the cover of Nie Fei, he got rid of Rodriguez's defense beautifully, and then made a pass from the bottom, Adriano went around the front point and grabbed the lead. Rondo headed in front of the goal, and the ball was slightly deflected.

The game became fierce from the very beginning, and the competition between the two sides in the midfield was almost evenly divided. Although Zhang Yiming tried his best to follow Recoba's side, Recoba, who was much more experienced than him, was still able to pass the beautiful movement. He got a lot of opportunities to get the ball. When Recoba got the ball, it would be much more difficult for Zhang Yiming to stop him from attacking, especially when he couldn’t foul easily. more dangerous.

Although slightly passive in defense, the Chinese team still had a little upper hand in offense. Although Garcia used his brutal and fierce press to make Nie Fei feel very difficult, Deco's performance completely overwhelmed O'Neill. The continuous insertion in the midfield made Uruguay dangerous at the front of the penalty area. Fortunately, there was Santos who could stop him, otherwise Deco's long-range shot would be enough for Carini to drink a pot.

Both sides are defensively passive and offensively dominant, so that both sides have a lot more shooting opportunities, but the defenders and goalkeepers of both sides are very stable, so although both sides have a lot of shots in the first 10 minutes , but it did not form a chance to break the door.

Pua is relieved. Although his defense has been tested to a certain extent, he has created a lot of opportunities in the frontcourt. Uruguay is not good at defense. As long as the offense is not restrained by the opponent, then he has confidence You must be able to score a goal, even if you lose the ball first, it doesn't matter, no matter who shines in the frontcourt, it is possible to create a goal.

He put his treasure on Recoba and Fran. In his heart, Recoba and Fran are the winners of this game, and judging from their performance in the past 10 minutes, both of them are in very good condition. good.

PS: I've been a little lazy these two days... There is at least one more update today, so I apologize to everyone.
