Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1131
After Portugal took the lead, they adopted a relatively conservative style of play. Their control over the game was something that the Chinese team had no capital to fight for.

Even after the intermission adjustment, the Chinese team's performance in the second half became more active and could not change the situation.

Weak teams naturally have the embarrassing situation of weak teams.

Portugal tasted the sweetness from the defensive counterattack two years ago, and it will naturally continue to flourish.

Just as they fell at home 14 years ago, wasn't it also because they were beaten by Greece's defensive counterattack for life?

With the strengthening of the Chinese team's offensive, the threat of the Portuguese team's counterattack has increased significantly. This has allowed Situ Yunbing to see the improvement of the Chinese team's defensive level. On the one hand, the Chinese team's several rescues and the performance of goalkeeper Shen Jingjie were excellent.

This is already pretty good.

Situ Yunbing took notes while watching the game. Although the result was basically unable to change, he still saw the positive side of the Chinese team in this game.

At the end of the game, the Chinese team lost 0:1 to the Portuguese team.

In another game Spain also beat Morocco 1-0.

As a result, Spain and Portugal both ranked first and second in the group with 4 points.

Both the Chinese team and Morocco ranked third and fourth in the group with only one point.

There are always Chinese reporters who want to interview Situ Yunbing and ask him to express his views on the performance of the Chinese team, but Situ Yunbing ignores them.

As far as strategy is concerned, Alonzo's performance in these two games is no problem. In terms of tactics, the Chinese team's cards are also very limited, and they cannot move freely on both offense and defense like the world's top teams.

Therefore, the performance of the Chinese team depends largely on its own on-the-spot performance.

Mental quality, mentality adjustment, this World Cup is a good experience for them.

When Situ Yunbing came to Zhuhai, the Chinese team also ushered in the last battle of the World Cup group stage.

There is only one way for the Chinese team to qualify. Without considering the situation that Morocco beat Portugal, the Chinese team can only advance if they beat Spain and get at least two goals from Spain.

Because even if the Chinese team beat Spain 1:0, then because Spain and Portugal played a 3:3 draw in the first round of the group stage and scored the number of goals, the Chinese team will also have the same score as Spain and will eventually be eliminated.

Only by winning Spain by 2 goals or more can they advance to the top 16 of the World Cup with the same points and higher goal difference than their opponents.

As for the situation where Morocco beats Portugal, if it happens, then it is only resigned to fate.

After all, it is not easy for the Chinese team to beat Spain, and it can even be said to be a bit whimsical.

Spain need only a draw to advance to the last 16 of the World Cup.

Before the game on social media, Chinese fans were cheering for the Chinese team!

Perhaps due to the miserable experience of being out of the 2002 World Cup, it is actually difficult for Chinese fans to have too much expectations for the results of the Chinese team. Everyone expects to see the Chinese team play wonderful games, and the requirements are not high.

Situ Yunbing was still watching the game with Han Yang and Feng Kuoyang in the hotel suite.

He carefully took notes on watching the game.

Spain treats this game very seriously, but the main reason for their mediocre performance in the past two years is that they no longer have the iron triangle combination of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.

The core foundation that allowed them to dominate the world in those years is gone.

But Spain will still play relatively proactively, trying to pass and control the opponent, but the threat of creating opportunities is relatively low.

Costa on the front line is actually a bit out of tune with the Spanish football style. Even if he has played for Atletico Madrid all year round, just think about the tactical style of Atletico Madrid. It is completely opposite to the tactical style of the Spanish national team.

Coupled with the two central defenders Pique and Ramos, the former is in an unstable state, and the latter has been a little drifting in the past two years, always actively participating in the offense, which makes Spain's defense very unstable.

The Chinese team actively defended after the opening. After the Spanish soldiers pressed the border, Bai Yuanfan had a hard time defending Costa on the back line. Fortunately, Costa did not seize an excellent opportunity to miss the ball!

In the 19th minute of the game, the Chinese team, which had been on the defensive, finally completed an excellent defense in the backcourt and created a counterattack opportunity!
Zhao Fenghua received a pass from Zhang Linpeng in the forward running position, and then he passed the ball to Zhang Zhibang who was quickly following up when many Spanish players were about to encircle him.

Spain's defense somewhat underestimated the Chinese team, because the first counter-siege and encirclement failed, and logically they should retreat quickly to deploy defenses. In the end, instead of retreating, they advanced and pressed for Zhang Zhibang. The latter quickly passed the ball diagonally to the side. After Zhang Chengdong responded in the open space, he directly passed the ball diagonally over the top to hit the area behind the Spanish defense!

Wu Lei opened the distance with Pique in the rapid advance. After the anti-offside, all the Chinese fans in the audience were excited.

Wu Lei, who stopped and took a trip, was already single-handedly after entering the penalty area!

As soon as De Gea attacked, Wu Lei took a shot, and the football went straight to the far corner of the goal!

De Gea made a save but failed to touch the football, and then looked back to see the football rushing into the far corner of the goal!

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered passionately, with incredible expressions on their faces!

Wu Lei rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. He slapped the team logo on his jersey, driving fans all over China into a frenzy!
Situ Yunbing also excitedly raised his glass to clink with Han Yang and Feng Kuoyang in the hotel and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp!

On the TV screen, Alonzo in a suit and leather shoes is making a gesture of pressing down on the Chinese players, telling them to keep calm and not lose their mentality because of the advanced goal.

The mentality imbalance does not simply point to negative changes, but may also lead to out-of-control situations in the specific performance of the game due to excessive excitement and aggressiveness.

Spain will inevitably launch a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's defense next.

It's time to test the Chinese team's defense.

However, with the experience of playing Portugal in the previous game, the performance of the Chinese team will be more tenacious.

And fans all over China must now expect the Chinese team to score another goal!
If the Chinese team wants to qualify for the top 16 of the World Cup, it must beat Spain by at least 2 goals!
The next scene became that the Chinese team retreated and tried every means to limit the Spanish team from scoring.

Situ Yunbing watched the game intently in the living room. Alonzo's defensive transformation of the Chinese team in the past two and a half years has been relatively successful. At least in Asia, they can be called top-notch, even if they are not top-notch.

The root of the problem is that they are facing a world-class team!
The defense line of the Chinese team is dangerous, and the Chinese fans have been worried. After the Spanish team conceded a goal, they attached great importance to defense.

It cannot be denied that if Ramos and Pique both attach great importance to defense and ensure that the effective zone defense plays a role, then it is indeed difficult for the Chinese team to counterattack to penetrate their defense line. After all, there is a Busquets escorting the defense line.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, the Chinese fans were even more excited.

Although the Chinese team failed to score again, at least they defended the first half!

On the scoreboard, the Chinese team leads the Spanish team 1:0!

Numerous fans on social media are reposting the picture of the scoreboard. It seems that the Chinese team can lead Spain is a great deed worthy of glory!

Or because everyone knows that the Chinese team is too weak, I am afraid that such a lead is only a flash in the pan, and the final harvest is still a failure!

Soon after the start of the second half, the Spanish team attacked more directly, and they had to buy time to score goals, because they must also hope to win the top spot in the group!

In the 53rd minute of the game, the Chinese team still failed to stop Spain's crazy offensive.

Costa headed home after receiving a cross from Asensio in the penalty area!
After losing the ball, Bai Yuanfan smashed the turf with his fist!
He didn't lose Costa, but he lost in grabbing the position!

Being at a disadvantage in confrontation and weaker than the opponent in terms of experience, such a situation can actually be accepted calmly.

But it's because I want to win too much!
Alonzo clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the morale of the team, and Situ Yunbing didn't feel too disappointed, because looking at it objectively, the game lasted almost an hour, and the Chinese team has not yet fallen behind to the Spanish team. Should they be disappointed?
After the Spanish team scored a goal, the morale was boosted, and they wanted to take advantage of the victory to complete the overtake.

Under the command of Alonzo, the Chinese team performed calmly and still played defensively and counterattack patiently.

On the contrary, Spain's offense has become a little impatient, because they obviously want to beat the Chinese team within the regular time, and the remaining game time is getting less and less, which will change the mentality of the Spanish players!
In the 70th minute of the game, the Chinese team intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Zhang Zhibang and Zhao Xuyu jointly completed the steal against Silva. Silva is also old. The 32-year-old veteran also showed flexibility after fighting on the field for 70 minutes Falling, the state of physical exhaustion.

The Chinese team's counterattack broke out again!

This time, Zhang Zhibang completed the ball from the right side of the forward field.

Alba assisted in the frontcourt and did not come back. Wu Lei successfully responded here, and then when Ramos came, he knocked the ball back to Hao Junmin, and then turned to the inside track.

Ramos was still a bit overwhelmed, thinking that he could block Hao Junmin's passing line, but he didn't expect Hao Junmin to change the direction of the ball and then send out a through ball.

Wu René cut the ball into the penalty area, Busquets and Pique rushed towards him together, this time De Gea did not abandon the goal.

Just when Wu Lei hit the ball to the right side of the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball back obliquely.

The football happened to roll between Pique and Busquets.

The two turned their heads and saw Zhao Fenghua's figure!
Zhao Fenghua met the ball and shot decisively!
The football hangs straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
The best rookie in Ligue [-] last season broke through the ten fingers of the Spanish goalkeeper De Gea!
Famous all over the world!
