Chapter 604 The Second Game

There are no changes to the national team's second-round roster.

Due to the short distance from country H, the national team has been training in the country after assembly. It was not until three days before the competition that they went to country H to prepare for the competition.

Team H had matches in the first two rounds, one home and one away, and the score was 1:1.Two draws.

So even though they have played two games, team H has only accumulated two points and is temporarily ranked third in the group. Although the national team has only played one game, it has accumulated three points and ranked ahead of team H, ranking second in the group.

Before the game, Liu Feiyu looked at the players and said: "In this game, Team H will definitely use the home court advantage to win with all its strength, so when we start, we must focus on defense. Remember, our goal in this game is to score points! So, don't pay too much attention to the scene."

For this away game, Liu Feiyu has made sufficient preparations.

Team H, which hadn't won in the previous two rounds, will definitely win this game with all their strength. Team H's home court has always had a strong atmosphere.

And after two rounds of competition, the players of Team H have also entered the state, and this away game is definitely not easy to play.

In this game, the starting lineup of the national team has also been fine-tuned. There is not much change in the midfield. It is still the goalkeeper Li Lie, the right back Zheng Jun, the center backs Wan Lifeng and Guan Lei, the left back is Xu Qi, and the midfielders are Duan Zhihai and Gu Yueming, double midfielders.

Qi Haiming is the left back in the midfield, Xu Feng is the right back, Yu Yang is the front midfielder, Zhang Yitao is the single forward, and the formation is four-five-one.

"Gu Yueming, your main task in this game is to keep an eye on the area around the arc of the penalty area. You must not let their players send a through ball, especially their No. [-] player. As long as such a player takes the ball, you have to focus on it with [-]% focus." Liu Feiyu looked at Gu Yueming and said.

Gu Yueming nodded.

The reason why two defensive midfielders will be deployed in this game is mainly because several players of the H team have a through kick.

Liu Feiyu looked at the other players and said: "The defense in the penalty area must keep an eye on people, watch the ball well, and pay attention to destroying it with one kick whenever there is a chance, without any hesitation!"

Then, Liu Feiyu looked at Zhang Yitao and said, "As long as you catch the ball, just go to Xu Feng!"

"Good!" Zhang Yitao said.

Before the game started, the commentator chatted with Director Yang, and it was still Director Yang who was the guest commentator for this game.

"Director Yang, judging from the roster we've got so far, the national team's formation is a defensive one, and a player is added in the midfielder position, Gu Yueming, this is also Director Liu's favorite player." The commentator said with a smile.

"That's right, this is a defensive formation. We are playing away this time, and in terms of strength, Team H is higher than us. After all, several players in their team have really good personal strength. Therefore, it is still possible to form a defensive formation." Director Yang said.

"We also noticed that in the midfield, Director Liu also changed two players, Xu Feng and Zhang Yitao, and the two forwards who started the game last game did not appear in the starting list." The commentator said: "Director Liu made such an arrangement, what do you think is the reason for it?"

"First of all, Xu Feng is a speed player. He is very fast, and he can reach the fastest on the wing no matter whether it is offense or defense.

Compared with He Penghui, Zhang Yitao has more comprehensive skills in all aspects.

This game allowed him to advance alone, just to let him restrain the opponent's defensive players more. Coupled with Xu Feng's fast speed on the side, the opponent will definitely have concerns when attacking. "Director Yang said.

"Okay, now the players from both sides have entered the field, and the game is about to start." The commentator said.

After the start of the game, the national team's tactic of grabbing the start was unsuccessful.

After the players of team H got the ball, they did not rush to attack, but poured the ball in the backcourt to control the rhythm of the game.

The national team did not press too much, but Zhang Yitao stepped forward to interfere.

The national team did not pull out the formation, and the H team advanced layer by layer and fought positional warfare.

The entire first half was very dull on the scene.

There were not many shots from both sides, and the national team only had one shot, which was not on target yet.

"Well, the first half of the game is over, and the battle between the two sides became 0:0." The commentator said: "Although the scene in the first half was a bit dull, the score is still acceptable."

"Yeah, the first half was really dull, but even though Team H took advantage of the field, they didn't have too many threatening shots. They only had five shots, and only one shot on goal, three long-range shots, and a header from a corner kick.

That is to say, in the positional battle, the H team only successfully broke into the penalty area once and formed a shot. "Director Yang said.

"You mean, we did a very good defense in the first half," said the commentator.

"It's true. Don't look at the boring scene, but the players played very hard." Director Yang said; "Director Liu's arrangement for this game is very solid, that is, to take away points in the away game. Although the scene of the game is ugly, the effect is good, not to mention that the opponent does not completely occupy the advantage on the field. So I think our defense is very good, and we have completed the task very well."

"Then do you think we will do the same in the second half?" said the commentator.

"Based on my understanding of Director Liu, there will definitely be a change in the second half. After all, it would be the best if we can take away three points in the away game, let alone Team H," said Director Yang.

"Yes! If we can win Team H in this game, then the point gap between us and Team H will be widened to four points. In the first stage, Team H will definitely not be able to catch up with us if there is only one game left." The commentator said: "Let's look forward to the second half of the game. Take a break and see you in the second half."

At this time, Liu Feiyu was talking with the players in the lounge.

"The first half was played well!" Liu Feiyu looked at everyone and said, "We will continue in the second half, but we still have to pay attention to their penetration in the middle. Qi Haiming and Xu Feng, you two can move closer to the middle and give up some space on the side. In this way, we will have a chance!"

In the first half of the national team's several counterattacks, only one shot was formed, and it was completed under the pressure of the opponent's defender.

Xu Feng is fast, but the full-backs of Team H are not slow either.

However, Team H definitely wants to win this game, so they will definitely increase their offense in the second half.

The frequency of assists by full-backs will definitely increase.

So Liu Feiyu wanted to let Xu Feng and Qi Haiming lean towards the middle, so that the fullbacks of Team H would also lean towards the middle.

In this way, the gap on the side will increase, and there will be more space on the side.
