Godfather of national football

Chapter 516

After the start of the game, the two Valencias that Ecuador posed the biggest threat to the Chinese team were from Manchester United and Enna Valencia from West Ham United. Both of them are fast Premier League players.

In this game, the Chinese team's double midfielders are already Zhou Dun and Fang Suo, so there will be a little pressure, but not too much.

"Although it is a bit cruel to abandon Zheng Zhi, I have to say that Zhou Dun and Fang Suo have greatly strengthened the defense of the Chinese team in the midfielder position," Li Zibing said.

"Yes, I personally think this will be the standard midfielder for the Chinese team in the future. In addition, the country may not know Ecuador, but my partner and I have just been to this country. The football atmosphere in this country will never be worse than that of a football powerhouse like Argentina." Liu Jianhong continued.

As we were talking, Ecuador created a dangerous situation in front of the Chinese team's goal. Caceres headed the ball from close range in front of the goal, but it was a little bit wide.

Today Wang Dalei's outfit also changed, he put on a headband, just like the Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa.

Li Guo knows that there are no weak teams in South America, but the Chinese team can't lose this game, otherwise they will go home.

Valencia, who played for Manchester United, rushed to Geng Chong on the wing, Geng Chong put a shovel, and Valencia took advantage of a change in rhythm to pass the ball.

Then Valencia made a cross, and Enna Valencia in the middle kicked his heel in the 6-yard area in front of the goal, and the goal was scored!
After the goal, Enna Valencia did not celebrate because he knew he was offside, and the offside was about 2 meters away, and the linesman had already raised the flag.

But maybe Valencia is old, and slowed down after a few bursts from the wing. In fact, he has already lost his main position in Manchester United.

After Ecuador's three-point axe, it was the Chinese team's turn to control the game. Zhou Dun held the ball very firmly in the midfielder position, and it was basically impossible to lose it. The opponent also knew that Barcelona Zhou Dun was good, so it was not in vain to grab Zhou Dun.

Zhou Dun slammed it straight to Chen Gelin, and the audience roared loudly. As long as Chen Gelin got the ball, the fans would definitely stand up and cheer.

The ball was slightly deflected, and the audience sighed. When Chen Gelin ran back, under the applause of the audience, the head coach of Ecuador turned pale. He felt that his players should not let the opponent shoot from an angle at all.

When the game reached 30 minutes, the frontcourt of the Chinese team had completely controlled the game. The two Valencias of Ecuador, one was old and the other was too young. On the other hand, when they left the plateau, Ecuador seemed to have no confidence.

This may also be the reason why Ecuador has been a passing visitor in the World Cup in the past few World Cups.

At 35 minutes into the game, the Chinese team played an exquisite frontcourt. Zhou Dun passed the ball to Liao Lisheng, who then passed it to Lin Zhijian.

Just like that, the ball flew into the back corner of the goal, 1 to 0!

After scoring the goal, Chen Gelin rushed to the sidelines and gave the ball to his parents first. Maybe the goal was so wonderful that the opponent's players stood there dumbfounded as if they had been immobilized.

Coach Quinteros adjusted his tie, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, it was a feeling like a stick in his throat.

The Chinese team ended the game 1-0 in the first half. After the start of the second half, Ecuador still used the same three tricks, using the personal ability of the star to attack the Chinese team's side. Valencia is also desperate. Facing Geng Chong, he showed the state he was in the heyday of Manchester United.

After a breakthrough, just as the Ecuadorian central players were already in place, waiting for Valencia's cross, Valencia slowed down and sat on the ground.

Quinteros felt a little bit in his heart. He had communicated with Valencia before the game. Valencia also said that he was okay, but the veteran's physical fitness and endurance were indeed no longer good.

His teammates ran over to ask about Valencia's injury. He was still smiling, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to persevere because the back of his thigh was strained.

After a simple inspection, the team doctor gestured for a substitution. Even though he was reluctant, Quinteros still replaced Valencia.

With the support of the team doctor and the applause of the audience, Valencia walked off the court crying, and Li Guo also went over to give him a thumbs up. This is a fighter on the court.

"Mr. Jianhong, I think of the crane worker we met in Ecuador, Ayovi."

Liu Jianhong said: "I have watched football longer than you, and I have seen too many stars' tears, Barty's, Baggio's, Owen's, maybe this is football, this is life."

After Valencia left the field, Ecuador lost its core offensively, and the Chinese team had a greater advantage on the court.

Li Guo hoped that the team would score another goal, so that they would have a goal difference advantage against Brazil, but unexpectedly, Ecuador, which lost its core, was extremely strong in defense.

After 75 minutes, Li Guo replaced Ji Ke and Chen Gelin. The purpose of the substitution was simple, to break down Ecuador's defense, because the meanings of 1-0 and 2-0 are completely different. 2-0 means that the Chinese team has an extra goal difference, so a draw with Brazil in the final round will qualify for the group stage.

On the other hand, Dunga, who had already finished the game, was also watching the live broadcast of the game. Of course, he hoped that Ecuador would kill the Chinese team and let the Chinese team go home early, but after seeing Valencia injured, Dunga knew that this was impossible.

"Dog S luck, dog S luck, Li Guo is just lucky," Dun Jia said indignantly.

Dunga didn't care how many free kicks the Chinese team had, because he was determined to beat the Chinese team in the final round, and it was a big score. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the five-star Brazil?
He is different from other coaches. As a player, he witnessed the glory of Brazilian football, so in his heart, defending the honor of Brazilian football is his mission.

The Chinese team's game is over. Despite the indiscriminate bombing, the Chinese team still did not expand the score. In the end, they beat Ecuador 1-0.

In this way, the situation in Group B is very interesting. The statistics of Brazil and China are the same in all aspects, which means that the final round is a real life-and-death battle for the two teams.

Dunga turned off the TV, his thoughts had already flown to the third round, he was thinking about how to deal with the Chinese team.
