Godfather of national football

Chapter 247 Top of Asia ([-])

In the next 10 minutes, the Chinese team and the Japanese team alternately increased in terms of offense, shooting, ball control, corner kicks, and even the number of fouls. The two sides played a wonderful confrontation for 10 minutes.

Both Li Guo and Zaccheroni went to the sidelines to direct the game. Li Guo emphasized the attack from the wing, and so did the opponent.

"Ji Ke, Shen Rui," Li Guo made a cross movement gesture.

The Japanese team's man-marking level is very high. If they stand still, the chances are not great.Li Guo asked the players to move actively, and Zaccheroni's side was just one word-stable.

This is a common characteristic of Italian coaches. As long as they are not forced, they are all very stable personalities.

At this time, Li Weifeng also came out of the bench. The big head can be said to be the player who has played the most against the Japanese team in the national team, and is also the most conflicted with the opponent. Li Weifeng has played against the opponent in several important Asian games.

"Geng Chong, come on, the Japanese team's physical fitness is not good enough, let's do him one."

But in fact, the players of the Chinese team are also tired, and the first half is coming to an end.Li Guo knew that the big head was kind, but a team can only have one head coach, so Li Guo patted Li Weifeng, "Big head, don't give orders."

Only then did Li Weifeng realize that he was "offside", "Head, I'm sorry, I'm so excited."

"Don't worry, they will overthrow the Japanese team, you..." After speaking, Li Guo pointed to the bench.

The big head looked embarrassed, and immediately went back to the bench and sat down.

*****
In the last 10 minutes of the first half, the two sides spent dull time, and the score was fixed at 1-1.

Li Guo asked Qu Bo, Pu Shuang, Gao Lin, Yu Dabao and others to stay on the court to warm up. The second half will be a real hard battle, and I am afraid it will be very difficult.

Like the Chinese team, the Japanese team also left substitute players to warm up on the field. Li Guo took a glance and found a very familiar stranger——Li Zhongcheng.

The reason why I say unfamiliar is because Li Guo and Li Zhongcheng have nothing to do with each other, no matter in the previous life or now, and the reason why I say they are familiar is because in the previous life in the Asian Cup, it was Li Zhongcheng who made a world wave after replacing Maeda Ryoichi in overtime. The Japanese team beat Australia to win the Asian Cup.

"Will he play?" Li Guo thought to himself.

In the locker room, Li Guo manipulated the small disc on the tactical board, emphasizing the tactics.

"The opponent's characteristic is that the overall is better, and our advantage is physical and personal ability, so we will use our strengths and avoid weaknesses in the second half, you know?"

Everyone nodded.

Li Guo specifically pointed at Ji Ke, "Did you know?"

Ji Ke was taken aback for a moment, and for some reason he pointed at himself, but blurted out: "I don't understand."

Everyone else laughed, and Li Guo laughed too, and said, "Because you are the tallest and the Japanese players are short, when I talk about taking advantage of your body, you are mainly referring to you."

After a while, Ji Ke understood, "Head, don't worry."

*****
In the second half, after coming out of the player tunnel, Li Guo looked at the Japanese team and found that the opponent did not make any substitutions.

The second half begins.

Shinji Kagawa organized the attack with the ball in the frontcourt. He was the brain of the Japanese team, but what happened later was unexpected for the Chinese team. The Japanese team held the ball for 2 minutes without losing the ball.

The overall football of the Japanese team has been played to the fullest. We know that the body of Japanese players has no advantage in the whole of Asia, so overall football is the only way out for this country.

But the defense of the Chinese team has been tempered by Argentina, and it is not surprising that the Japanese team's ball-handling style is not surprising.So the Japanese team has the ball at their feet, but they just can't create a threatening attack.

Finally, Makoto Hasebe, the captain of the Japanese team, got a very good chance to shoot in front of the penalty area. Just as he opened his thigh and was about to shoot, suddenly...

Makoto Hasebe made a false shot and sent the ball to the left for Yuto Nagatomo.

Makoto Hasebe's fake move was too real. He deceived the whole world, including his teammate Yuto Nagatomo.

Nagatomo didn't even get the ball, and the ball was broken by Lin Zhijian.

"The Chinese team counterattacked," Koji Nakata in the stands was explaining. From his position, he could see that the defense line of the Japanese team was wide open.

But Lin Zhijian moved forward quickly and looked up. Ji Ke in the middle did not arrive. Ji Ke's speed is indeed slow, especially the long-distance sprint is his biggest shortcoming.

In desperation, Lin Zhijian could only choose to cross the entire stadium and pass the ball to Shen Rui on the left, only Shen Rui followed.

But the span of the pass this time was too large, and Japanese defender Ma Yoshida also broke the ball.

"The Japanese team fought back again," said Koji Nakata, who was still in the stands.

Yoshida Ma also lobbed the ball directly to the defense zone of the Chinese team. The model worker Okazaki Shinji was chasing the ball, and Yin Di touched the ball first. When Okazaki Shinji kicked Yin Di.

After a scream, Yin Di fell to the ground clutching his ankle.

Shinji Okazaki stepped forward to apologize immediately, he didn't do it on purpose, it's just that Saburo's desperate character made him fight for every ball, but this time the referee gave him a yellow card decisively.

Unexpectedly, Yin Di's injury was more serious than Li Guo had imagined, and the team doctor signaled for a substitution after examination.

"Big head, go ahead."

At this moment, Li Weifeng really didn't know whether he should be happy or... Although he dreamed of competing with the Japanese team, he didn't want his teammates to get hurt.

Soon, Yin Di was carried off the field on a stretcher, and Li Weifeng came on as a substitute.

The NHK commentary in the stands joked: "Nakata, your old friend is on the field."

Koji Nakata chuckled, he felt that Li Weifeng was still insisting on being a national team player, while he had already faded out of the national team team.

After Li Weifeng came on the field, he didn't stay in his central defender's position honestly. Instead, he raised his position and actively sought a confrontation. He met Shinji Okazaki head-to-head.

"happy,"

For a ball master like Li Weifeng, he has long expected this feeling, confrontation, scrambling, and even going up to attack.

Chen An walked to Li Guo's side, "Li Guo, is it wrong for you to send Li Weifeng?" Seeing Li Weifeng's almost excited appearance, Chen An was a little worried.

In fact, this was what Li Guo was most worried about before, but soon Li Guo spread his arms and said, "He is the last central defender in my hands. Maybe this is God's will. Besides, if I don't let him play, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

In this case, Chen An had nothing to say, and sat back on the bench.
