Godfather of national football

Chapter 58
"Stupid? Why?"

Li Guo remembers that when he played football games in his previous life, he would switch to a striker if he needed to attack and play 424, and change to a defender if he needed to defend and play 541.

Allardyce seemed to know what Li Guo was thinking, and asked, "How about that effect?"

"How about what?"

"When you play games,"

Li Guo thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the effect was not very good, but Li Guo didn't know exactly why.

Allardyce didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Because winning or losing on a football field depends on how much effective area you can control."

"Effective area?" This is a new concept unheard of for Li Kui.

"Yes, let me ask you, if three people stand in a line, what is the area they make up?"

This Li Guo knew, "Zero."

"Right or wrong, it should be the area of ​​that line, but it can be ignored."

"Let me ask you again, if three people stand in a triangle, what is the effective area formed by them?"

"Zero to Infinity!"

Allardyce smiled, "Li Guo, you are very smart."

Li Guo understood. The New Zealand team withdrew their midfielders and stood in a row of five. It seemed that there was one more person in the back line, but in fact it reduced the effective area of ​​defense.

"Big Sam, I understand why you call him stupid,"

Allardyce chuckled, "You learn so fast, I may not have anything to teach you in the future."

Sure enough, on the court, the New Zealand team's defense was not stronger because of the number of people. It seems that not everyone can play the bus!

Five minutes after Chen Gelin equalized the score, the Chinese team created an offensive opportunity again. Shen Rui cut in from the wing and succeeded in anti-offside. He pushed again when facing the New Zealand goalkeeper, and the score became 5-2!

Watching the slow-motion replay, the ball will be clearer. The 5 people on New Zealand's defense line are lined up, paying attention to the distance from Chen Gelin, and completely ignoring Shen Rui on the other side. As a result, although New Zealand's defense line has many people, Shen Rui is as easy as bypassing a pile of logs when he turns offside.

This was an overtake goal. After the goal, Shen Rui wanted to take off his jersey. Although he would get a yellow card, he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. But before he took off his jersey, his excited teammates rushed over to stack him.

11 Chinese players plus substitutes stacked up to form a giant red tower. They released it. No matter how good the results of the top 20 are, no matter how united the current Chinese team is, but there are no goals on the court, everything is lip service.

As a fan in his previous life, Li Guo had always had a question, would the bottom player be crushed if he stacked Arhats like this?But when he saw Shen Rui coming out from under the crowd, Li Guo dispelled his worries.

The celebration of the Chinese team was clearly timed out. The head coach of New Zealand was complaining to the referee. The referee had no choice but to find Li Weifeng and whisper a few words, and the big head immediately waved for everyone to return to their seats.

The middle circle kicked off again, Wulihe Stadium was still very high, and the fans were shouting: "3 to 1, 3 to 1."

With the shouts of the fans, the Chinese team's attack came again, and the New Zealand players were also red-eyed. A guy in his 20s, no matter how good he is, would not allow himself to be abused.

Sun Jihai broke through on the wing, stopped and stopped, and kept trying to get rid of his opponent with variable speed running, but failed.In the end, Sun Jihai could only forcefully pass the ball, and the ball passed slowly, but suddenly there was a red streak, which passed in front of the ball like lightning.

It's Chen Gelin again!
When Sun Jihai started to pass the ball, Chen Gelin was still in front of the big penalty area. When the ball flew into the penalty area, Chen Gelin suddenly appeared in front of the small penalty area. This speed has exceeded the usual rhythm of New Zealand players.

In desperation, the New Zealand central defender stretched his legs, and then he regretted it, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Zheng Zhi walked over to pick up the ball, first: he has such qualifications in the team, second: both juniors scored goals, Zheng Zhi was also a little impatient.

In fact, when taking a penalty kick, the less interference the stadium has, the better, but the fans are already very high. When Zheng Zhi is about to make a free throw, the cheering on the scene is louder and louder, which is actually a bit of a disservice to Zheng Zhi.

At this time, all the Chinese players on the bench stood up, Zheng Zhi ran up and shot!

"Nice, Spoon, great Spoon penalty."

Zheng Zhi also scored a beautiful spoon penalty in the first game of the Asian Cup held in China in 2004. At this moment, Zheng Zhi raised his arms and shouted, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai came to hug Zheng Zhi. Perhaps only they who are also veterans can understand the persistence of the veteran!
The score became 3 to 1!

After a period of onslaught, the rhythm of the Chinese team naturally slowed down. This is the law of movement. The difference between a strong team and a weak team is not that a strong team can attack all the time, but that a strong team can score goals within a limited attack time.

The Chinese team slowed down, and the New Zealand team began to speed up. However, the New Zealand team's offense has a characteristic, that is, it suddenly gets stuck in front of the penalty area.

After squandering a few chances, the game entered the second half and the venues were changed. The pace of the Chinese team was still slow. The Olympic men’s football match takes an average of two or three days to play a game.

At 80 minutes into the game, the New Zealand team had no fighting spirit. At this time, Chen Gelin and Shen Rui of the Chinese team made a sudden effort. After several passes between the two, Shen Rui completed the final pass.

At this time, the Chinese team stopped celebrating, and New Zealand didn’t feel depressed anymore. The fans got used to it. No one shouted 5-1. The game seemed to have entered garbage time ahead of time. In the last 89 minutes, Sun Jihai casually lobbed a shot from the wing.

We know that in a table tennis match, if a goal is scored by hitting the net, the players will raise their hands to express embarrassment to the opponent. This ball is my luck.

At this time, Sun Jihai did the same. He raised his hand at the New Zealand goalkeeper to signal that I was really fooled by this ball.The New Zealand goalkeeper also responded with a smile.

In the end, just after 90 minutes of the game, the referee blew the final whistle, and there was not even a second of stoppage time. This is a good thing for both players. After the game, the two players exchanged jerseys.

Li Guo took the initiative to walk towards the opponent's head coach. After shaking hands, Li Guo turned around and left the court in a low-key manner, because it was not the time to celebrate.
