Godfather of national football

Chapter 173 Battle in Côte d'Ivoire ([-])
Friendly reminder, this commentary is brought to you by Huang Jianxiang, the No. 1 mouthpiece in the Chinese football circle, and Yang Chen, an old international player.

Of course, you may ask, the copyright of the World Cup must have been bought out by CCTV, so I can only say that this is a novel, let me YY.

"In the distance is Table Mountain, which can be seen directly from the Cape Town Stadium. Table Mountain is indeed as its name suggests. The whole shape is like a table, which is very strange, at least rarely seen in China," Huang Jianxiang said.

"Hehe, I really want to play mahjong on it," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Jianxiang also chuckled, "Actually, when I came here yesterday, I wondered if it would be amazing if the stadium was built on it."

"I can only say, you really dare to think."

"The starting lineups of both sides have come out for this game. It should be said that there is no major change. The Chinese team just replaced Qu Bo."

"Qu Bo is fast, and the Chinese team mainly counterattacked in this game, so Qu Bo's role may be more obvious," Yang Chen said.

"Speaking of speed, I think of the beautiful goal you scored in the 2000 Asian Cup against Japan in a long-distance attack."

Yang Chen was very modest and said, "I won't mention it anymore, it's been too long."

Just after the start of the game, Ivory Coast launched a blitz on the side. Gervinho, who played for Lille in Ligue [-], broke through along the side. The hot bird was extremely fast, wading the ball past Fang Suo in a small space, and then faced Sun Jihai.

Hot Bird dribbled the ball and made an assault. He had been watching Drogba in the middle. All this was seen by Ji Hai, but Ji Hai guessed that the opponent's eyes were fake.

Sure enough, Hot Bird flicked his left foot, and then moved his right foot, speeding up to the baseline. Generally inexperienced defenders would be deceived by Hot Bird's eyes, thinking that the opponent was going to cross to find Drogba, but Sun Jihai didn't.

"Gervinho is really fast. If Jihai is a step slower, the left side of the Chinese team will be torn apart,"

Yang Chen looked at the information, "Lille, this is a team with excellent wingers, and this team also has a Belgian monster named Hazard."

"Yes, I have the impression that Bayern and Chelsea are watching."

Yang Chen continued: "And he wore the No. 10 jersey in Côte d'Ivoire, which shows that he is the core of the offense."

"Li Guo's change of formation is still very correct. Sun Jihai is placed in the left back position."

"Jianxiang, I played football with Jihai. I think Jihai is a very smart player."

"Yes, it's really difficult to play in Manchester City and get recognized in the Premier League."

*****
After the opening, Côte d'Ivoire has been looking for opportunities to cross to Drogba, but the two full backs of the Chinese team defended very well. Mu Fei on the right restricted Kalou's breakthrough, and Sun Jihai on the left did not let the opponent take advantage.

For Drogba, Li Guo's arrangement is not man-to-man, but area defense. Simply put, if it is on Zhou Dun's side, Zhou Dun will defend, and vice versa.

Because Li Guo estimates that if he defends closely, there are very few central defenders in the world who can mark Drogba to death.

Eriksson was very smart. He saw that the team could not open the two wings, so he walked to the sideline and made a direct pass gesture. This gesture was for Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure threw a straight kick to Drogba in front of him. Drogba leaned against Yin Di to take the ball, and that movement was as standard as in the textbook.

This is the center forward's ability to hold the ball. If you have seen Germany's Gomez and Italy's Toni hold the ball, you will understand the characteristics of the center forward.

Of course, holding the ball like this is very demanding on the body, so don't try it if you don't have a particularly strong body.

Yin Di had nothing to do behind Drogba, even if he wanted to make a foul, he had no choice but to hold back and not let Drogba turn around.

But Drogba was going to force Yin Di, just like he forced the opponent's defender in the Premier League. Drogba twisted his body, resisted Yin Di's block, and then turned around to hit the goal. When Drogba turned around forcibly and was about to shoot, he suddenly realized, where is my ball?
It turned out that when Drogba completed a series of moves, Zhou Dun on the side estimated that Yin Di couldn't hold it anymore, so at the last moment, Zhou Dun stepped out to sweep the ball away.

*****
"Beautiful, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. Drogba never thought that another central defender of the Chinese team would suddenly make a kick," Huang Jianxiang said excitedly.

"It's really beautiful. If Zhou Dun doesn't help this ball, then Yin Di will definitely not be able to hold it."

"Yes, Drogba's way of playing is unreasonable, whether he plays in Africa, Europe or Asia."

"Li Guo's overall tactical arrangement today is still very successful," Yang Chen said.

*****
Eriksson yelled on the sidelines. Just now Drogba has N ways to handle the ball, but he chose the most stupid one. In fact, Yaya Toure has already inserted after passing the ball, and Drogba can do it back to Toure.

You can also distribute the ball to the Hot Bird and cooperate again to make the game a little more complicated, but Drogba lost the ball in the end.

African teams fry coaches like beans. Eriksson has not been taking over as the coach of Côte d'Ivoire for a short time. He has not had time to instill his football philosophy, so he can only play one game at a time.

He called Yaya Toure over, "Pay attention to interspersed running, don't stand and play football, this is the World Cup, not the Africa Cup of Nations."

Eriksson kept stirring his fingers on the sidelines, which meant that the players on the field ran for me, and everyone saw the coach's gestures to strengthen the running.

After a cross between Eboue and Hot Bird, the Chinese team's defense was briefly confused. At this time, Eboue passed the ball to Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure raised his hand to express his embarrassment, because his pass was behind the Hot Bird. After a brief dissatisfaction, the Hot Bird politely gave Yaya Toure a thumbs up, indicating that the pass was "good".

The players on the bench of the Chinese team were also covering their mouths and laughing. Yaya Toure is from Barcelona. 90% of the routines before the ball just now have the feeling of Barcelona, ​​but the last one is surprising. It seems that Barcelona is Barcelona, ​​and there is only one Barcelona in the world.

Everyone is old. After watching the game for 15 minutes, Chen An covered his mouth and whispered to Li Guo, "It seems that we overestimated Côte d'Ivoire. There is a lack of tacit understanding between the players, and Eriksson is a new official. This kind of team has nothing but fame."

But Li Guo didn't think so, he pointed to Drogba, "Don't think so simple."
