Godfather of national football

Chapter 600 Fighting Nigeria ([-])
The whistle blew at halftime, and boos were heard from the audience. The boos were for the referees, because Chinese fans had the most fans, and everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with the punishment of Fang Suo.

Of course, the Nigerian players were also dissatisfied. They felt that the referee missed a penalty, which was when Moses was knocked down by Mu Fei.

So the referee is not a human being, and both sides are dissatisfied with him, but he himself doesn't care, and left the court with a smile.

In the locker room, the players of the Chinese team were generally exhausted. On the one hand, it was the sequelae left after the first game, and on the other hand, the Nigerian style of play was simple and rough.

African players are sometimes so unreasonable. On the stage of the World Cup, it is not the first time that Asian teams have suffered losses.

Li Guo was deep in thought, without Fang Suo, what would the Chinese team do?
It stands to reason that one offensive player should be reduced, and then a defensive player should be added, such as Micro Motion Wing.

But Li Guo still wants to win, so the offensive players cannot be reduced.But the opponent's attack speed is so fast, can a Zhou Dun do it?

Zhou Dun also seemed to understand the coach's thoughts. He suggested: "Head, you must add a defensive midfielder, and you must suppress Nigeria's offense. Otherwise, once the opponent speeds up, it will be useless to add a central defender to the defense."

"I know, but Chen Gelin, Qu Bo, Lin Zhijian, and Liao Lisheng cannot withdraw. I am very embarrassed. If you have any ideas, just speak up."

Zhou Dun nodded, "Let Li Heng defend in advance. Three people in the back line are enough. The defense is not about the number of people, but the reasonable configuration."

This sentence awakened Li Guo, yes, the defense doesn't really care about the number of people, and Italy is as solid as three defenders.

Li Guo laughed: "I will give you a credit."

Li Guo thought for a while, and then took a small tactical board in front of Li Heng, "You play two positions in the second half, defensive midfielder and central defender, depending on the situation."

Then Li Guo briefly talked about several situations. The situation on the court is ever-changing. Li Guo can only give examples that he can think of for the time being. At this time, it depends on the players' understanding ability. This is also the difference between excellent players and ordinary players.

Li Heng nodded after listening. He basically understood that as a defender who plays football in Europe, he also needs to play as a defensive midfielder occasionally, so it is not too difficult.

Li Guo talked with Chen An, and he didn't expect the second match to be so difficult. It seems that the old saying that arrogant soldiers must lose is really true.

Li Guo was also a little proud of winning Portugal in the first game, thinking that the Chinese team is now a strong team in the world, but the blow came so quickly.

Chen An said: "I think a draw is acceptable. The most important thing is not to lose any more personnel. Injuries, red cards and so on are really unacceptable."

"Chen An, on the football field, if you set your goal for a draw, then the final result can only be a loss. Aren't there not many tragedies of the Chinese team qualifying after a draw?"

Chen An nodded, "I'm still not as good as you in this respect."

"You, you are all going to be the head coach, it's time to improve."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Guo was the first to feel that something was wrong, "It's over, I slipped my mouth," Li Guo forgot that he was in the locker room at this time, and there were so many players.

Sure enough, Mu Fei reacted greatly, "Is Chen An going to be the head coach? Where are you going?"

Everyone looked over, Li Guo and Chen An were like wooden figures, what should we do?Quickly think of an excuse.

Li Guo looked at Chen An, Chen An looked at Li Guo, Li Guo responded quickly, "National Olympics, yes, National Olympics."

"Isn't the National Olympics brought by Magath?"

"Yes, but Magath's contract is coming soon. This is the secret of the Football Association. I recommend Chen An to replace Magath."

"So that's how it is. It scared me. I thought Chen An was going to take over," Mu Fei laughed before he finished speaking, and the others also laughed.

Chen An looked at Li Guo, admiring him in his heart, this nonsense came out of his mouth, what a talent.

*****
In the Nigeria locker room, the head coach Henot Rohr was calm. He was very satisfied with the first half. The conceded goal was an accident. This was the most exciting game he played since leading the team. This should also be the normal performance of the African Eagles.

"These guys just don't have much motivation, but their level is really good, and all of them are the main players in the European League."

But Gernot Rohr is not going to continue to motivate the players during the half-time break, it is useless to say.

Henot Roll pointed to the tactical board, on which there were 11 players from the Chinese team, and Henot Roll pointed to Zhou Dun.

"The villain next to him was sent off. Even if he belongs to Barcelona, ​​it's useless. The fact that Zhou Dun was overwhelmed in the second half exposed the Chinese team's defense in front of us."

Players at this level understand that once they lose their strong midfield defense, the players on the back line will feel very uncomfortable, or even unable to defend. This is why the top midfielders are so expensive.

Mikel nodded, "It's not difficult." The others also nodded. With a score of 1 to 1, Nigeria still has one more player, and the players still have confidence.

"Okay, I won't say much, you are stars, you know what to do, in short, to win, you must win!"

In the commentary booth, there were two more people beside Liu Jianhong and Li Zibing - Li Weifeng and Yang Chen. This was a special program during the intermission.

"Big head, did you think that the game would be so difficult before the game?" Liu Jianhong asked.

Li Weifeng shook his head: "In the past few days, no one in the football circle I have met, no matter whether they are domestic or foreign, is optimistic about Nigeria."

Yang Chen added: "But the situation on the court is indeed different. Nigeria's strength is very good, especially that Moses, who is like a small motorcycle. He rushed out several opportunities."

"What about the second half? Do you two have any suggestions?"

Li Weifeng worked with Li Guo before. He first said, "As far as I know, Director Li is a very, very smart head coach. His encouragement at halftime is very ingenious. I have seen it before, so I am not worried about the fighting spirit of the Chinese team in the second half. In terms of specific tactics, I think Director Li must be better than us."

Yang Chen also said: "I agree, I think you should trust Director Li."

After all, according to past experience, to question Li Guo is nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation, and Liu Jianhong no longer asks.

At this time, the intermission was almost over, the music in the stadium stopped, and the Nigerian players ran out first.

Then came the Chinese team. The first one to come out was Li Guo. There was a round of applause from the audience. Li Guo also waved to the stands. Obviously he was in a good mood and was not affected by the unfavorable situation in the first half.
