Chapter 1120 Changes
Before the game against Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan's head coach Vajim Abramoff said at the press conference that they will focus on marking Rongguang. Uzbekistan is not afraid of Rongguang, and they will fight hard for the first place in the group.

When a Chinese reporter asked him why he had such confidence and whether he had a countermeasure against Rongguang, Abramoff said that he would not announce this in advance.

Of course, if he really has a way to deal with Rong Guang, he doesn't need to tell everyone what it is in advance, he is not a fool.

But to be honest, the media was very suspicious of what Abramov said, thinking that he was talking big, and the purpose of doing so was to release smoke bombs.

Because not to mention Abramov, the coaches all over Europe are having a headache how to defend Rongguang, and they haven't found any good solution.How did Abramoff, an unknown in the coaching world, find a countermeasure?

It must be nothing more than psychological warfare.

And the method is not very clever...

※※※

But when the game started, everyone soon discovered that the head coach of Uzbekistan really has a way. Of course, whether this method is effective or not is not mentioned for the time being, but he really has goods.

His strategy is simple to say, there is no mystery, and it is not his original creation.

It is "foul tactics".

But everyone is not very optimistic about this tactic of Uzbekistan.

This tactic was used by many teams in Europe. The most famous one was in the 2008-2009 FA Cup final, when Manchester United played against Manchester City. At that time, Ferguson's team used a foul tactic against Rongguang in the game, but who knew that Rongguang practiced a free kick?

In the final, taking advantage of Manchester United's crazy foul on him, he completed a hat-trick of free kicks!

Since then, there have been fewer teams using foul tactics against Rongguang.

Because they indirectly helped Rongguang...

Unexpectedly, Uzbekistan even tried to use foul tactics to stop Rong Guang!
What a fool's dream!

No. At 12 minutes, about 36 meters away from Uzbekistan’s goal, slightly to the left, Rongguang was tripped by Uzbekistan’s player Ahmedov and tripped to the ground. The referee blew his whistle to signal a foul by Uzbekistan, and gave the Chinese team a frontcourt free kick. Free kicks from this distance can be shot directly or indirect free kicks.

But Rong Guang chose the first option.

At a distance of 36 meters from the goal, he burst with his right foot and kicked a standard elevator ball.

Uzbekistan goalkeeper Nesterov was completely confused by Rongguang's lift ball. He jumped to the right, but the ball flew into the goal from his left.

"1:0! Rong's signature elevator ball!" He Ping shouted excitedly. "In the first [-] minutes, the Chinese team took the lead. They took the lead in this battle of revenge! At the same time, this is also revenge against Uzbekistan! This goal of Rongguang ended the embarrassing record of zero goals scored by the Chinese team against Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup!"

"And! This is Rongguang's seventh goal in this Asian Cup! Now he is only one goal away from the eight-ball record set by Iranian star Ali Daei in the 1996 Asian Cup!"

After the goal, Rong Guang greeted his teammates to come up to celebrate the goal, but in fact he didn't need to call, everyone opened their arms and rushed towards Rong Guang when the football flew into the goal.

Uzbekistan was dejected, and the TV broadcast specially gave Uzbekistan coach Abramov a close-up shot, wanting to see his expression at this moment.Before the game, he swore that he had found a way to deal with Rong Guang, and it turned out to be such a thing... How is it now?It was his foul tactics that gave Rongguang a chance to take a free kick and caused the goal to be lost!
Abramoff stood on the sidelines, expressionless, unable to tell what was going on in his mind.Of course, it can also be understood that he is trying to calm down.

※※※

It stands to reason that after taking the lead, the Chinese team should be in full swing and completely defeat Uzbekistan.

But when the game restarted, everyone did not see this natural scene.

The performance of the Chinese team suddenly changed, not better, but not so good...

Whether it's the reporters in the media seats, the commentators, or the fans, they can all see it.

In order to be sure, they also observed for a period of time and found that this was really the case.

The Chinese team's offense is not as sharp as before.

Especially Rongguang, who scored a goal in the first [-] minutes of the game, should be in very good condition.

However, after scoring the goal, Rongguang's performance was not as active as before. Specifically, his shots decreased, and there were fewer times when he directly threatened Uzbekistan's goal.

So what is he doing these days?

He is passing the ball.

After his teammates passed the ball to him, he was not in a hurry to move forward. If it was before, he must have rushed to Uzbekistan's goal with the ball.

But now, he will stop, pause, and then pass the football.

Or even if he takes the ball, he will eventually pass the football to his teammates instead of shooting himself.

The reporters in the media seat looked at each other in blank dismay, especially the Chinese reporters. They didn't quite understand why Rong Guang kicked him so suddenly...

Even the other players in the Chinese team didn't quite understand. After the game against Qatar, they realized how difficult it is to keep them up to the pace of Glory.The glory of the game against Qatar surprised them, who had been teammates with him for more than half a month, and it felt like he was hanging up...

So they all felt that maybe they should pass the football to Rong Guang, and then enter the mode of watching the movie.

They didn't expect that Rong Guang would pass the ball to them and wait for them to press it.

This kind of unexpectedness caused many mistakes in cooperation. It seems that the Chinese team's control over the game has declined, but the attack before the goal is more threatening.

"After taking the lead, the Chinese team acted as if they couldn't play football anymore...why is that..." He Ping asked such a question.

In front of the computer, many Chinese fans were also surprised.

Jokers jumped into action, eager to express their sense of humor on Weibo.

"It's sour, and it's still the familiar recipe, the familiar taste! This is the Chinese team that we are all familiar with!"

However, more Chinese fans may not be in the mood but ridiculed. They all frowned, not understanding why Rongguang suddenly stopped moving forward.

※※※

Among so many people, perhaps the two people in front of the coach of the Chinese team know best.

Head coach Gao Hongbo glanced at Fu Bo beside him, and found that Fu Bo was also looking at him.

The two people's eyes met, and then they smiled wryly at the same time.

They understood why Rong Guang did this. It was as if Rong Guang was telling the two of them that he, Rong Guang, could lead this team forward!He wanted to prove it to the two of them.

But looking at it now, things are not going very smoothly...

※※※

Rong Guang doesn't care whether it goes well or not, he insists on doing it according to his own ideas.

As a result, until the end of the first half, the number of shots in his personal statistics did not increase again, but the number of passes was much more, many of which were failed. Among them, Uzbekistan insisted on fouling him, and many of them were because his teammates in the national team did not receive his ball. Of course, these were all counted as his failed passes.

Uzbekistan got some chances because of the poor offensive performance of the Chinese team, but they didn't score.

The first half ended with a score of 1:0.

At the end of the first half, the commentators from all over the world were discussing the huge changes of the Chinese team in the first half. Why did they have such a big gap before and after scoring?

Is it true that Uzbekistan's foul tactics played a role?

They don't want to admit it...

At halftime, Uzbekistan coach Abramov really thought so.

"Their weakness in the first half proves that our tactics are effective! They are very effective! As long as we continue to play like this in the second half, the balance of victory in the end will definitely fall to our side!"

He was very excited. Although he conceded the ball at the beginning of the first half, he regained control of the initiative in the game.This shows that he can really beat Rong Guang. Rong Guang is definitely not a player who is completely above the Asian level as the media said!
In another locker room, Rong Guang was looking at everyone with concern.

The reason was that Sun Hai asked Rong Guang: "Rong Guang, you are injured, right?"

After these words were uttered, the locker room suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Rong Guang.

This may be the only reasonable explanation for Rongguang's performance changes in the first half.

But they didn't notice when Rong Guang was injured.

Uzbekistan has always insisted on foul tactics against Rongguang, and all kinds of rough defenses emerge in endlessly. Maybe Rongguang will be injured one time?

It's just that Rong Guang resisted telling everyone...

Rong Guang looked at his teammates, he could clearly see the care and tension in their eyes.

Perhaps these emotions are utilitarian. For example, if Rong Guang is injured, their journey in the Asian Cup may come to an end.

But they are a team and rightfully so.

Gao Hongbo and Fu Bo sat in the locker room, looked at each other without speaking.

They wanted to see what Rong Guang would say.

Rong Guang shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I'm not injured."

"Then your first half..." Sun Hai continued to ask.

These words may only be asked by Sun Hai. On the one hand, he is a veteran in the national team. On the other hand, he and Rong Guang are teammates in Manchester City. When Rong Guang first went to Manchester City, he was the one who helped Rong Guang adapt to life.

Facing everyone's doubtful and concerned eyes, Rong Guang still had a smile on his face: "I just want to win the championship with everyone."

At this time, Gao Hongbo coughed and stood up. He knew that Rong Guang didn't want to explain too clearly, so he stood up and helped him out.

"Although everyone's performance in the first half was not very good, there was a problem of not being able to cooperate. But we will continue to play like this in the second half. It doesn't matter if we don't cooperate well, just try a few more times, otherwise our training before the start of the Asian Cup will be useless? So, boys, stick to what you practiced in your training in the second half, don't be afraid of making mistakes, not trying is the biggest mistake!"

He is helping Rong Guang.

Now that Rongguang has expressed his wish, Gao Hongbo will use the authority of the head coach to make the whole team cooperate with his wish and complete this Asian Cup together.

After receiving the latest instructions from the head coach, the players of the Chinese team who were still a little uncertain about the situation in the first half also let go of their doubts.

Rong Guang looked at Gao Hongbo, and Gao Hongbo smiled at him.

There is a kind of tacit understanding formed between the two people.
