Chapter 134 The First Battle in New Zealand ([-])

Before the game, Artanisai gave Li a pair of headphones.

"what?"

"If you have any instructions, feel free to tell us boss,"

Li Guo smiled slightly and accepted it.

After finding a seat with Ji Ke, Ji Ke stretched out his hand, "Head, the court here is so small, I feel like I can reach into the court as soon as I stretch out my hand."

"There are more than 10 people in this country. If you build a stadium with 8 people, why use it?"

Ji Ke laughed.

But Ji Ke was still excited. This was his first time watching a game in such a pocket stadium, and he felt that everything was very fresh.

After the start of the game, nervousness replaced excitement. The New Zealand team entered the state very quickly, and immediately launched an attack after a short adaptation at the beginning.

Li Guo clenched his hands tightly. This situation can be predicted. What Li Guo fears most is not that Tahiti will be beaten, but an accidental loss of the ball. As long as he does not lose the ball, the Tahiti boys have the possibility to defend.

At this moment, Allardyce appeared, "Haha, I didn't expect the tactics of the amateurs in Tahiti to execute well. These "beaten" tactics are all painstakingly researched by me. They are most suitable for playing strong teams. I used to do this in the Premier League."

"Big Sam, you're still in the mood for a joke."

"No, Li Guo, I really praise them. Don't underestimate this tactic, but in fact the secret is to minimize the gaps in defense. You will know later."

"Then let me thank you on their behalf," Li Guo teased.

*****
After 10 minutes, the score was still 0-0. New Zealand's attacking midfielders, Chris Wood, Lockhead, and Kieren looked at each other, a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, it stands to reason that it should be at least 2-0 now.

They fought against Tahiti's defense line before. It was thin-skinned and stuffed, and it could be penetrated in one blow. But now after 10 minutes of strong attack, the opponent's defense line is still stable.

New Zealand's No. 9 striker Smeltz stood alone in front and pointed at his teammate to his head, which meant to upload it to my head. Guys, the opponent is a team like Tahiti. What skills do you still play? Just use something simple and rough.

New Zealand's No. 10 Kieren saw the gesture of No. 9 and kicked his foot into the penalty area. This is New Zealand's killer feature. In Oceania, this move is basically like a penalty kick, with a high success rate.

No. 9 watched the ball while adjusting the steps of his feet. The high center forward jumped to head the ball like a volleyball smash. If the timing was right, when No. 9 adjusted to the right position and was ready to take off, he found that he could not jump.

Because he was caught by two Tahitian defenders, the ball flew across and flew out of the baseline. No. 9 was stunned. He couldn't even complain about the ball because he didn't fall down and the opponent didn't touch him.

No. 10, who passed the ball, was also at a loss. Smelz asked for the ball on his own initiative, but why didn't he jump up, but just looked dumbfounded.

But then the Tahiti goalkeeper took the goal kick, and No. 10 could not call Smelz over to ask questions. In fact, it would be useless even if he called Smelz over at this time, because the moment just now was too fast.

*****
"The card position just now was beautiful," said Ji Ke in the stands.

"You see it?"

"Of course, head, I'm also a high center forward,"

"Then if it was you just now, what would you do?"

Ji Ke scratched his head, "This is really difficult, what do you think?"

"I think it's a good way to hit the opponent and cheat a penalty."

Ji Ke laughed, thinking, "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

"I'm not joking. As long as there is something within the rules on the court, we must make good use of it as much as possible."

Ji Ke nodded.

*****
After 20 minutes in the first half, the score was still 0-0, and the New Zealand players began to get a little impatient. They didn't believe that it was the Tahiti team standing opposite them.

"Smeltz, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing his power forward repeatedly miss good opportunities, New Zealand's head coach finally couldn't bear to stand up.

If it doesn't work, the New Zealand coach still has No. 13 Barron in his hands, which can be replaced when necessary, but No. 9 has always been New Zealand's main power forward, and the coach still trusts him.

Soon, the coach found that today's problem was not only in the forward line, but the midfielder often made mistakes in short passes. At least he thought it was the mistakes of New Zealand players, so the midfielder's offense became stuck, like a broken computer.

On the other hand, the Tahitian players are also having a hard time. They use 120% of their strength every time they defend. In this kind of game, their physical fitness will soon be overdrawn.

"Boys, Tahiti is gone, their legs are heavy, keep attacking them, give them a fatal blow," the New Zealand coach roared from the sidelines.

Ji Ke on the sidelines also noticed this, "Head, if this continues, the physical fitness of the Tahiti players can only last for half the time, and they will probably die in the second half."

"Yes, these tactics are already overloaded for the Tahitian boys, and we have to find a way."

"By the way, Ji Ke, what's the weather like today?"

"Looks like it's cloudy."

"Oh," Li Guo replied thoughtfully.

*****
At the end of the first half, the score remained at 0-0. The Tahitian players lay down when they walked off the field. The masseur was massaging, but the consumption was too great, and the massage was useless.

Li Guo can enter the system to buy physical potions, but Li Guo is reluctant. Those points are earned by Li Guo's hard work and must be spent on the Chinese team at critical moments, but Li Guo wants to help Atani and the others.

Li Guo looked up at the sky, and remembered that time in Qatar, buying the weather only required one point, which was the minimum consumption in the system, which Li Guo was willing to spend, and it was the only thing Li Guo could do now.

Well, after entering the system, Li Guo clicked to buy a heavy rain, and then consumed one point. Looking at Atani lying on the ground, Li Guo thought to himself: "Friends, I can only help you so far."

Atani felt that even if the tiger came at this moment, he would not be able to stand up, but for the sake of national honor and the dream of the World Cup, he must stand up.

The Tahiti players returned to the field, and the New Zealand players were happy. They couldn't move on the football field, and everything else was just a cloud. It would be no good if you let Harvey sit and play football.

At the beginning of the second half, the New Zealand players began to attack, but at this time a strong wind hung up, and then the sky began to cloud over, and it was about to change.
