Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1270 Every inch of land must be fought!

Russell Landmark Stadium.

The stadium, which can accommodate more than 8 people, is full of seats, and there are more than [-] Chinese fans!
The Chinese fans who came to Qatar tried to buy a ticket for today's quarter-finals even if they were desperate, because this is probably a rare opportunity in a lifetime to witness the Chinese team compete in the quarter-finals on the World Cup stage!

Coming to the World Cup, there are 32 strongest teams from all continents in the world. With the progress of the tournament, there are only 8 teams left!
In the first game of today's quarter-finals, the Chinese team faced the England team. From the side, the Chinese team has at least achieved a good result in the top eight of this World Cup!
Even if some Chinese fans joked that this is the Chinese team VS European Chinese team, it does not hinder the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans in the slightest!
The England team has not performed well on the stage of the World Cup since winning the World Cup in their home country. The last World Cup was played by underdogs, but they did not expect to go all the way to the semi-finals. Naturally, high hopes are placed on this tournament!
The previous four games were considered smooth, and no opponent could cause trouble for the England team. Today's encounter with the Chinese team is also considered by the whole country to be a lottery.

But when the game was about to start, all the England fans and Chinese fans watching the game couldn't help but get nervous!
Of course, they will have a strong mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

Hope the team can go one step further!
Even for Chinese fans, this is nothing short of a dream!
But the Chinese team is not without the capital to create miracles!

When the starting players of the two teams lined up on the field for the kick-off ceremony, everyone on the sidelines also looked solemn.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, viewers, welcome to the first match of the quarter-finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the quarter-final match between the Chinese team and England is about to begin.

I believe that many fans are still immersed in the great joy of the Chinese team breaking into the top eight of the World Cup.

The Chinese team has completed a self-breakthrough in this World Cup, and reached the top eight of the World Cup beyond expectations!
It can be said that none of us will be dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team, but since we have the opportunity to strive for the semi-finals of the World Cup, why don't we work hard to fight for it?

I believe that the team of the legendary young coach Situ Yunbing will always be full of enthusiasm for victory and have great ambitions for progress!

Now let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

The Chinese team started today with 433.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.

Defenders: Abdulhamiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.

Midfielders: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.

Forwards: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.

The Chinese team still uses the most common main lineup in this World Cup.

England's starting lineup is also 433.
Goalkeeper: Pickford.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell.

Midfield: Barkley, Dele Alli, Delphi.

Forwards: Sterling, Rashford, Sancho.

It is worth noting that England's main center Harry Kane was injured and did not start, but it is not known whether he can come off the bench due to his condition.

England's players are all from the Premier League team, while Bai Yuanfan in the Chinese team has played in the Premier League for a year and a half. It can be said that Bai Yuanfan is more experienced in fighting against Premier League players than other teammates.

Well, the game is about to start, let us see if the Chinese team can achieve another success today! "

With the whistle of the referee, the Chinese team took the lead in kick-off.

The England striker cautiously pushed forward to counter-attack. After the kick-off, the Chinese team fell in the backcourt. It seemed that they had no desire to attack at all. Even the forwards stayed in the midfield.

Situ Yunbing is very familiar with this England team. Except for three former disciples, the other players all played for his opponents who coached the Red Army.

It must be said that there are deficiencies, but compared to the strength of the Chinese team, it will not appear to be a weakness.

To play against the England team, the Chinese team must become smarter, instead of blindly fighting against the England team and grabbing the rhythm!

It can be said that the England team is the top European team under the fast-paced style of play. What is slightly insufficient is the creativity of the midfield. If the midfielder has a top-level organizational creative midfielder second only to De Bruyne, then England The team's offense will truly become world-class. After all, in terms of speed and technology, Sterling at his peak plus the increasingly mature Sancho and Rashford are definitely not inferior to other technical teams.

When the Chinese team shrank the formation and passed the ball in the backcourt to consume time, Southgate stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and looked puzzled.

He knew that the Chinese team had a hand in delaying the game, but that was after the Chinese team took the lead!

Maybe he studied the Chinese team's game too little.

If time goes to the Copa America final more than three years ago, then Southgate will know that even in the case of a tie, the Chinese team can control the ball with peace of mind to delay time and consume opponents.

This is why the South American media hates and shames the Chinese team for winning the championship.

If the Chinese team held high the banner of offensive football and defeated the Brazilian team openly, then the South American media would definitely use this as a flash point to criticize the South American heroes for not thinking about progress and inferior skills, but the Chinese team's playing style can be labeled "" "Anti-football" label, which made it impossible for the South American media to recognize their victory and their championship.

Now what Southgate thinks is that the Chinese team wants to continue to consume. The England fans immediately booed the Chinese team to put pressure on the Chinese team, but the Chinese fans cheered to counter the boos of the England team!
After 5 minutes of the game, the Chinese team continued to fall back in the backcourt. Even the wingers retreated to the depth of the backcourt to meet and assist the pass. Can't stop.

He knew that Situ Yunbing was wasting time. In this contest with a certain gap between strength and weakness, England definitely did not want to enter overtime, let alone hand over its fate to a penalty shootout. You must know that the history of England's penalty shootout is absolutely It was dark.

Southgate made a gesture on the sidelines, calling on the team to press the whole court!
He believes that the team can do better than the Mexican team in the full-court press, because the rhythm of the Premier League has always been fighting for every inch!
Anyway, the England team does not want to let the Chinese team waste time. If they are really defeated by the Chinese team in the tug-of-war, they will be convinced to lose. Before the war, they were finally attacked by the Chinese team and lost the ball, which is absolutely unacceptable to the England team.

After the Three Lions generals on the field received Southgate's instructions, they quickly launched an all-court pressing tactic against the Chinese team.

In the 8th minute of the game, the Chinese team finally launched a fast break from the backcourt. From the beginning of the game to the present, the Chinese team's ball possession rate is 100%!

England players have never even touched the ball!

When Sterling pressed Li Lei, Li Lei passed the ball diagonally to Huang Bozhou, who took the initiative to run to meet him. Ali followed closely behind, and Huang Bozhou kicked the ball and passed it short.

Zhao Fenghua, who pulled to the side to respond, sent out diagonally with one foot on the ground without waiting for Barkley to get close.

The football rolled to the left side of the midfield, Luo Cheng quickly moved forward after leading the ball, Arnold made a decisive grab, Luo Cheng quickly passed the ball diagonally to find Wu Lei.

However, Stones took the initiative to step forward and block the position first so that Wu Lei could not stop the ball, and the England team stole the ball!
They finally touched football!
The England fans in the stands were jubilant, which was weird.

Looks like England scored a goal!
After Stones steals the ball, he quickly passes the ball to Delphi, which is the closest pass target to him.

Just as Delphi was in possession of the ball, someone unexpectedly came from the side to steal it!

Luo Xin!

He immediately dialed the ball and changed direction to complete the dodge, but in the next second he saw Zhao Fenghua tackle him head-on!

Delphi was unable to control the ball and change direction, but was intercepted by Zhao Fenghua's ferocious shovel!

Southgate's face suddenly changed on the sidelines!
The Chinese team doesn't mean to be conservative at all!

When they started to attack, it was accompanied by a wave of frontcourt counterattacks!
The forward pressure of the formation is very obvious!

The football shoveled by Zhao Fenghua was controlled by Wu Lei. Stones stepped forward to fight back. Wu Lei knocked the ball back diagonally and sent it to Luo Xin's running line.

When Luo Xin quickly moved the ball forward to face Maguire, he could feel that Maguire would also choose to press fiercely!

This is the quarterfinals of the World Cup!
There is no such thing as courtesy first and soldiers later!
The opening is an extremely aggressive defense!

So Luo Xin sent a kick to the ground very decisively!
The football rolled through the space between Maguire and Stones. Stones and Maguire stopped and turned around suddenly, and suddenly saw Luo Cheng cutting inward at high speed!
The ball has basically penetrated England's defense!
Only Arnold is still in the fast follow-up defense!

Arnold, the best right back in world football in Situ Yunbing's eyes, comes from his ability to read and organize the game.

Of course, he still has flaws in defense, but this does not prevent him from becoming the best right back in the world.

Arnold never let Luo Cheng get rid of him.

When Luo Cheng took advantage of the situation in the middle of the penalty area and turned to the right side of the penalty area to kill, Arnold boldly chose to tackle!

He didn't want to steal the ball, but just to destroy the ball at Luo Cheng's feet!
He succeeded!

He touched the ball with his toes first and knocked the ball out of the baseline, but Luo Cheng kicked his leg in the next step and was tripped to the ground.

All the Chinese fans are making noises to put pressure on the referee!

penalty!

But the referee did not blow his whistle, and the Chinese fans are looking forward to VAR to remind the referee of major disputes!
But until the Chinese team was about to take a corner kick, they couldn't wait for the VAR prompt.

It seems that Arnold did not foul this ball.

Southgate let out a deep breath from the sidelines, it really made his scalp tingle just now!
The Chinese team suddenly formed a threatening offensive!

It is obvious that Situ Yunbing still has a certain design for today's game tactics!
