Godfather of national football

Chapter 533 Battle against the United States ([-])

When the Star-Spangled Banner resounded across the stadium, the players of the Chinese team were also shocked. Although the United States is a football desert, the atmosphere of the fans was not weak at all, but rather crazy.

"Goalkeeper No. 1 Guzan,"

……

"No. 6 Brooks, No. 23 Fabian Johnson,"

……

The last one to be called out was also the power forward of the US team, No. 8 Dempsey.

The atmosphere of the audience reached a boiling point. With the cheers of the American fans, the game was about to begin.

After the opening, the US team showed their fierceness, especially their bald midfielder - Bradley.

Bradley has a big bald head and fierce eyes that look like he wants to eat people. If you don't see him on the football field, you will definitely think he is a street gangster.

To put it simply, his style of play is a bit like De Jong of the Dutch team, fierce but accurate.

The Chinese team speeded up the pass to avoid confrontation with the opponent, because it is estimated that the referee must favor the home team, which is also a common practice.

After a few passes, the ball reached Chen Gelin's feet, and the audience immediately booed like thunder. Although it was explained, at least in this game, Chen Gelin was still a traitor in the hearts of American fans.

As soon as Chen Gelin took the ball, the defender Brooks who played for Hertha Berlin posted it. The tall and strong Brooks has been spotted by Bayern. He is a rare good defender in the Bundesliga. He is very careful in defending Chen Gelin.

Chen Gelin pushed his shoulder a few times and found that he couldn't hold Brooks at all. Knowing that he had met an opponent, he could only pass back to Liao Lisheng.

The problem with the U.S. team is the offense. They don't have any good players, but their midfield is still top-notch.

The Chinese team couldn't attack, so they passed the ball back, and it finally reached Zhou Dun's feet, but just as Zhou Dun took the ball, someone from the side and rear shoveled over.

The referee blew the whistle, and Li Guo was also angry. Bradley's tackle behind his foot was intentional, and his purpose was to kick Zhou Dun.

Li Guo raised his right hand high, shouting a red card, the team doctor had already rushed onto the field, and Zhou Dun's ankle seemed to have been shoveled.

"Bastard, bald bastard," Li Guo cursed, feeling like his heart was on fire. It goes without saying how important Zhou Dun is to the Chinese team. If he gets shoveled, it will be troublesome.

But what made Li Guo even more angry was that the referee only warned Bradley, not even a yellow card.

"Black whistle, black whistle."

It is normal for the referee to favor the home team, but the movement of this ball is too big.

"Black whistle, dead black whistle."

"Li Guo, stop yelling, be careful that the referee understands Chinese," Chen An reminded.

Li Guo shrank his neck and shut up. As a coach, the referee really couldn't afford to provoke him. Fortunately, after simple treatment, Zhou Dun was fine and could continue the game.

At this moment, Klinsmann came out and gave Bradley a thumbs up, "Michael, you did a good job."

Li Guo understood at a glance that this is the US team's tactic, and it seems that Zhou Dun will have a hard time in this game.

Bradley has a lot of small defensive moves. Zhou Dun is very annoying to such a player, but there is no way to punch him on the court.

The U.S. team should have carefully studied the Chinese team, so they formulated such a tactic. On the court, Fang Suo turned his head and saw that Bradley always kept a distance of about 5 meters from Zhou Dun.

The ball from the Chinese team was delivered to Zhou Dun's feet again, and Bradley started immediately, but at this moment, he felt something hit him, because he had no defense at all, and Bradley hit him hard.

The US team player quit. Fang Suo deliberately bumped into someone without the ball. A red card was required. Fang Suo looked aggrieved. I was stuck, right?

"You don't have to pretend, this is not basketball, you pick and roll," Pulisic of the US team asked.

Li Guo was also happy. Fang Suo is too bad, but I like it. In the end, the referee didn't give Fang Suo a card, and the audience was in an uproar. However, Bradley seemed to be in pain, and fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

When the game resumed, Fang Suo walked up to Zhou Dun and whispered secretly, "Captain, you don't need to do anything, I will deal with that guy for you."

"Hehe, thank you then."

Football is a team sport, and it is heartwarming to have such caring teammates.

However, the U.S. team's defense is really good with home court advantage, especially their two full-backs are all from the Bundesliga, Chandler on the right, Fabian Johnson who plays for Borussia on the left, plus Brooks, this is the relegated version of the German defense.

The Chinese team controlled the ball, but they couldn't attack. At 20 minutes into the first half, the Chinese team only had one shot.

At this time, Liao Lisheng looked at the goalkeeper of the US team. He was also bald and his name was Guzan. He was abused countless times in Aston Villa in the Premier League last season, and Villa was also relegated in the end.

Liao Lisheng felt that Guzan's position was a bit forward, so he lobbed directly.

"What does that guy want to do?" Klinsmann thought in his heart, looked at the path of the ball, and Klinsmann understood that it was a lob shot.

After scoring a goal from a zero angle in the last game, Liao Lisheng's self-confidence is now bursting, and this lob shot was really aimed at the goal.

Guzan was taken aback, he was miserable enough at Aston Villa last season, and it turned out that such a little guy wanted to abuse me.

When Guzan retreated, he suddenly realized that the ball was not in the right direction. It seemed to be blown by the wind, and it was a little bit floating.

"My God,"

Li Guo thought there was something going on, so he walked to the sidelines ahead of time, and if he entered, he would be arrogant for a while.Klinsmann's heart tightened, it can't be so unlucky.

With a "bang", the ball hit the crossbar, and Gu Zan almost peed in fright. Liao Lisheng hugged his head and missed it a little.

"My God, it was almost a masterpiece," Liu Jianhong regretted.

Although the goal was not scored, it was a shake-up for the US team. Originally, Klinsmann's tactic was to stabilize the defense in the 30-meter area and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but unexpectedly, the Chinese team has a strong long-range shooting ability.

Li Guo gave Liao Lisheng a thumbs up, "Well done!"

Then the US team also made some changes. First of all, Guzan stayed in the small penalty area honestly. In addition, the US team also strengthened the defense against Liao Lisheng, especially when he swings his legs to shoot, someone must interfere.

After 20 minutes of the game, Li Guo had to say that he had a new perspective on American football.
