The strongest winger

Chapter 1214 An Incomprehensible Substitution
The game lasted 10 minutes. Compared with the previous fast-paced game, the two sides were much more cautious. After all, at this stage of the game, no one can afford to lose the ball.

If once a goal is conceded, the result is likely to not change in any way, which means that the championship will never be missed.

However, the atmosphere of the final at the Maracana Stadium has not changed at all. The enthusiasm of the fans is still high, and the cheers are louder and louder.

Especially the Chinese fans who have the upper hand in numbers, as long as the Chinese team is in possession of the ball, there will be huge cheers from the sky, and the Chinese team's offense has lived up to the expectations of the fans, but it is a little pity that the football shot by Ai Luo ended up flying out of the baseline on the right side of the goal post.

With Chen Tao playing, the Chinese team's offense has undergone substantial changes. His technical characteristics are quite different from Zhang Xizhe's. The former belongs to the classical midfielder with strong ball control ability and can pass through balls.

Chen Tao's template is Riquelme, while Zhang Xizhe's template is Kaka.

Because the Chinese team, which sent off one man, is at a numerical disadvantage and is often in the defensive stage. From another perspective, the Chinese team has a lot of space to counterattack.

At this time, the test is more about the counterattack ability of the defensive team. As for the counterattack, the pass success rate is considered.

From a technical point of view, Zhang Xizhe's scoring ability is strong, but his passing is a bit weak, especially the long-distance passing. Compared with the double midfielder combination Huang Bowen and Wu Xi, there is a certain gap.

However, when the team is in the defensive stage, it is difficult for the double defensive midfielders to obtain space to pass the ball forward, so the responsibility for passing the ball naturally falls to the midfielder Zhang Xizhe.

However, Zhang Xizhe's through ball ability was not very prominent. It was not obvious that the two sides played 11 against 11 in the final, but it was quite obvious when the number was at a disadvantage.

Ai Luo standing at the front can attract the defensive attention of at least three Argentine players, but he can't get the ball at his feet, which means that the threat is reduced by half. Now Chen Tao, who is more capable of passing through balls, is even more powerful for the Chinese team.

CCTV commentator Huang Jianxiang was very excited and said excitedly: "At this point in the game, I have to admit that Guardiola is a rare tactical master on this planet. The team can stabilize the situation by only adjusting the player's position when one player is sent off. The subsequent targeted substitutions are more effective and the success rate of forward attacks is higher..."

The Spanish national TV commentator said: "I think the Spanish Football Association should sign Josep after the contract with the Chinese team expires. Bosque's tactics are outdated, otherwise...we will not take the flight back to China so early."

At this time, the Spanish fans sitting in front of the TV unconditionally supported the commentator's point of view. After all, Spain, the champion of the European Championships in 2008 and 2012 and the champion of the 2010 World Cup, failed to enter the final stage of the World Cup.

It's like someone analyzes your tactics to the extreme, but you don't make any changes, the result...is self-evident.

The Chinese team only made one position adjustment and let the game go in another direction. This made Savilla very annoyed. They are also world-class stars. Why is there such a big gap?
At this time, Messi, who had been hiding for a long time, suddenly exerted his strength.

No.80 In the second minute, he passed Chen Tao, Wu Xi and Jiang Zhipeng in the "Messi Corridor", and then shot a cold arrow at the front of the penalty area before Feng Xiaoting stepped forward to block it. The football drew a beautiful arc in midair and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Half a minute later, it was Messi again!
He received Aguero's return ball on the penalty area line and chose to shoot directly without stopping the ball. This time Wang Xiaolei's reaction did not touch the football, but the football also deviated from the right post of the goal.

"—Ooooh!!"

The Argentine fans in the stands saw Messi's sudden outburst, and their mood was high. They burst into cheers like a tsunami, one wave after another.

As the hottest star on the planet, Aiello will definitely not turn a blind eye. Then he responded in a wave of offense by the Chinese team, using a long-range shot to sound the alarm for Argentina's defense.

As time went on, the final atmosphere in the stands became more and more frenetic.

Naturally, the Chinese fans, who have a large number of fans, can't just watch the Argentine fans be so presumptuous. When Aiello exerts his strength, they make the Maracana stadium boil again instantly, like adding fuel to the fire.

At this time, the players on both sides of the court began to become more careful.

After all, at this time, no one wants to lose the ball, because losing the ball means missing the championship.

The time passed minute by minute, and there was less than half a minute left before the end of 10 minutes of regular time, and the scoreboard still stayed at 2:2
If it weren't for the red card shown on the broadcast screen, it would be impossible to see that the Chinese team has one less player than the Argentine team, or even more than the Argentine team from a local point of view.

At this time, the on-site director showed the camera to the fourth official standing on the sideline of the center line. His electronic card holding up the 3-minute stoppage time was particularly eye-catching, but Wu Lei standing next to the fourth official was even more eye-catching.

Finally, the Chinese team will make the second substitution adjustment of the game!
At this time, many football experts began to speculate, who was replaced?

If you look at it from the position alone, Guardiola's adjustment this time must be aimed at the offensive line.

But when there was a dead ball and the fourth official held up the electronic card for substitutions, those so-called experts realized that they had guessed wrong...

Because Guardiola's adjustment this time is to replace Huang Bowen, who is more defensive.

Seeing this adjustment, Huang Jianxiang was a little depressed: "I admit that Guardiola is a master tactician. When the team sent off one player, he could easily resolve the problem of a small number of players just by adjusting the player's position. But now after all, there is one less player on the field. Isn't it a bit eager for quick success and instant benefits to replace the midfielder Huang Bowen with Wu Lei, who has a very strong offensive ability?"

According to everyone's conventional understanding, it is indeed the case.

With Wu Lei replaced, the Chinese team has as many as four offensive players.

But the problem is that the Chinese team now has one less player, and if Wu Xi, who has a certain offensive attribute, is counted, there are only four full-time defensive players left, and Hao Junmin's professional position is still a winger.

But... when the Chinese team took a good position, all problems were solved.
