Godfather of national football

Chapter 324 The skinny camel is bigger than a horse
In the locker room, there was only the sound of the players panting heavily. After being "walked" by Spain for half the time, the players' physical fitness had already turned red.

The biggest consumption of playing against Spain is the nerves, because of the high tension, you don't know when the opponent will send a deadly through ball.

"Children, I know you are tired, but I still have to say a few words. First of all, we did a good job in the first half. I'm not telling lies. The runner-up is completely acceptable to me."

But no one was happy. Before the game, everyone was expecting that the trend of the final would be the same as the previous games. Although it was difficult, the Chinese team would come back in the end.

"I know your feelings. No one wants to lose, but we need to accept the difficult result. I hope you can enjoy the game in the second half."

The players reluctantly nodded. Most of the tactics that Li Guo practiced before the game could not be played out, because the midfielder could not control it.

Guardiola once said that a sentence is very representative, even if he is given 100 midfielders, he will not be too many.

It can be seen that the basis of Spanish football's uniqueness is the ability to control the midfield. To be honest, it is difficult for the Chinese team's midfield to fight against their opponents.

At this time, Li Guo remembered the words that the old master had said to himself before he disappeared, "Be simple and rough."

"Chen Gelin was the bright spot. In fact, if we couldn't fight in the midfield, we would start the ball directly from the backcourt. Our players are younger. We are not afraid of running again and again, even if it is meaningless."

Thinking of Chen Gelin's "almost" chance, the players were more or less comforted. At least they have the ability to counterattack on the court, so they can survive. A team without an offensive threat can only be beaten violently. Everyone understands this truth.

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, my request is to try to score a goal, so I'm satisfied."

*****
At the beginning of the second half, Spain put on a posture of being unreasonable, replacing Mata and replacing him with the faster Navas.

"Damn, isn't the old man going to save his character?" Li Guo thought to himself.

Fans who have watched Navas play football should know that this guy's speed is really against the sky, as if a small motor is installed on his leg.

Mu Fei, who had been pushed by Mata for 45 minutes, faced Navas. It felt like his legs were filled with lead. Every step of running required a lot of strength.

It's okay to run at a constant speed, but Navas often slams on the brakes, so Mu Fei is quickly thrown away.

The Chinese team's defense on the right was wide open, and the middle was exposed to the opponent's firepower. Navas passed back to Harvey, and Harvey passed a 45-degree diagonal pass into the penalty area from the corner of the penalty area. Torres jumped high and the lion shook his head.

When a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will make his teeth stuck, but when a person is lucky, he can score with just any header. Torres' header is unbiased, just hit the lower edge of the goal, rebounded and scored, and Spain led 3-0.

As soon as the ball was lost, Li Guo didn't hesitate anymore, and used up three substitutions in one go. Ji Ke replaced Qu Bo, Pu Shuang replaced Liao Lisheng, and Zhang Linpeng replaced Mu Fei.

The formation also becomes 442.Li Guo's idea is still the same, regardless of the outcome, he must score a goal.

*****
With 3 consecutive changes, at least the Chinese team is stable on the scene, especially Pu Shuang and Ji Ke can get the ball.

After leading 3-0, the Spanish team became slack, and even made a mistake when the midfielder fell.

Under the relaxation of Spain, the Chinese team can finally control the ball in the midfield, and the ball possession rate of the Chinese team has also increased, and the ball is handed over to Zheng Zhi, the core midfielder.

Park Shuang was asking for the ball, Zheng Zhi gave it to him, and then Park Shuang used dazzling fake moves to deal with his opponent.

The Spanish players felt that this was a trick of the team, and the fans at the scene were very dismissive, but now Pu Shuang is more mature. After he attracted the opponent from the side, he returned the ball to Zheng Zhi.

"So it's a cover, not bad!" Bosque thought.

After making a transition with Pu Shuang, Zheng Zhi's pressure immediately eased, and he kicked Chen Gelin in front of him.

After replacing Ji Ke, Chen Gelin didn't need to forcefully go to the center to shoot, and he ran more freely. For example, this time, he ran to the sideline and brought Pique over.

After standing on the sidewalk, Chen Gelin also imitated Neymar and prepared to make a stand-by, but this is not Chen Gelin's characteristic.

Chen Gelin raised his right foot, Pique also raised his right foot, Chen Gelin changed his leg, and Pique did the same. If he didn't watch the ball, he would think they were dancing Cha Cha.

Chen Gelin found out that it is indeed not his characteristic to be outstanding, and he is still a cold-blooded killer in the restricted area.

Gently flicking the ball to Pu Shuang, Chen Gelin ran away, Pique became interested, and he continued to face Pu Shuang.

But Pu Shuang was different. First, he did a set of cycling, which dazzled Pique, and then followed up with a ox tail that smeared Pique.

Pique didn't expect it, and was caught off guard. When he turned around, Pu Shuang had already passed. At this time, the Chinese team had two points in the penalty area.

Pu Shuang pushed the ball low and flat to Chen Gelin, who directly pushed the back post of the goal with the arch of his foot. Chen Gelin's shot angle was already very tricky, but Cassie stretched his body and still touched the ball with his fingertips.

Chen Gelin scolded the one that started with F in his heart. In this game, the Spanish goalkeeper seemed to be on the hook, and he couldn't score any goals.

But just when the ball was about to roll out of the baseline, someone rushed over and kicked the ball into the empty goal. Who missed it?
It turned out to be Ji Ke. After the goal, Ji Ke waved his fist at the Spanish stands as a catharsis.

Although it was a miss, at least one was scored. Ji Ke was very happy. Of course, Chen Gelin was more credited for this goal. Ji Ke also knew that he ran to Chen Gelin first, and the two of them high-fived. Ji Ke and Chen Gelin were both competitors and partners on the front line.

Li Guo is also thinking about how to make better use of these two forwards. The 4231 formation is Li Guo's favorite, but sometimes he feels that it is a waste to let Ji Ke sit on the bench.

The score became 3 to 1, and this was also the final score. The Chinese team did not shake the final strength of the Spanish dynasty.

Li Guo knew that the gap between the two sides was not that big, it was just a fear in his heart, after all, the other party's achievements in the past few years lay there.

The final was over, and players from both sides could not leave. The awards ceremony was about to begin. Li Guo went to Bosque to congratulate the Spanish team.

Li Guo knew the fate of Spain next year, but what he didn't expect was that the emaciated camel should not be underestimated.

"Li Guo, I didn't expect your team to be so difficult."

Li Guo just smiled and thought: "I don't need these hypocrisy. The Confederations Cup is over, which also means that the World Cup is getting closer."
