Chapter 609 The First Half

After Sun Yixuan scored the goal, he quickly ran to the coach's bench, jumped up, and gave Liu Feiyu a big hug.

The fans at the scene cheered and shouted happily. In their view, the national team's three-game winning streak is already a certainty.

"Pay attention to defense!" Liu Feiyu shouted towards the players on the field.

"This goal is beautiful! From interception to goal, there are only two passes! And Sun Yixuan handled the ball very well. He rushed towards the opponent's defender. I think the opponent's defender must use his physical advantage to intercept the ball. Unexpectedly, Sun Yixuan suddenly changed direction!" said the commentator.

"That's right. And Sun Yixuan changed direction towards the outside. Obviously, neither the opponent's goalkeeper nor the defensive players thought about it." Director Xu said: "This is also a full use of technical advantages. The last shot is even more beautiful. A curved ball is hoisted to the back of the goal. Even if the goalkeeper is ready, it may not be easy to save."

"We scored a goal in less than 10 minutes after the start of the game. Do you think we have a chance to win this game?" said the commentator.

"It's hard to say! It is reasonable to say that we are playing at home and immediately lead by one goal after the start. The probability of winning the game is quite high, but Team W is also a very resilient team. Although it is behind by one goal, there is no sign of panic, and there is still a lot of time left in the game. So the final result is hard to say. Of course, we all hope that the national team can win this game and gain a greater advantage." Director Xu said.

"Director Xu's analysis is still very rational. Now that the game has just started, there are still more than 70 minutes left. It is indeed too early to say the result of the game. Let us cheer for the national team and win this game." The commentator said.

On the court, although they lost a goal, the W team did not launch a fierce attack immediately, they still played with high hands and long passes.

However, the players of the national team are also very focused. Although they suffer a bit in the fight for the first landing point, they do a very good job of protecting the second landing point.

However, the W team also strengthened the protection of the midfield to prevent the national team from passing the ball easily.

After more than 20 minutes, the two sides have been fighting near the midfield.

Although the scene is intense, it is not exciting enough.

"It's all very hard!" said the narrator.

"Now the referee's penalty is obviously harsher than at the beginning of the game." Director Xu said.

"That's right! The opponent has already received two yellow cards. Hey, for this ball, it is estimated that another yellow card will be shown!" The commentator said.

At this time, Yu Yang made a dribble after taking the ball, and was directly brought down by the W team players with the ball.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

Sure enough, a yellow card!
"This is interesting. The two midfielders and one full-back of the W team have yellow cards. After that, the defensive actions will be much more restrained." The commentator said.

"I think Team W is going to be replaced." Director Xu said.

Sure enough, after 5 minutes, Team W replaced the defensive midfielder with a yellow card and replaced him with an offensive midfielder.

At this time, the first half of the game has gone to 10 minutes.

"Before the end of the first half, they started to make substitutions. It seems that Team W is looking for opportunities to attack in the rest of the first half!" said the commentator.

"It's inevitable. Although it's an away game, I definitely want to take the points away. The substitution in the first half is based on the consideration of strengthening the offense on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is also a yellow card factor. After all, both sides are pressing in the midfield. The press is very tight, and the referee has shown three yellow cards to the W team players. If one of them gets a yellow card, they will have to leave the field." Director Xu said: "Substitution in the first half can also allow the players on the field to adapt to the game, but the biggest disadvantage of the substitution at this time is that the W team Changing tactics through substitutions allows us to have sufficient preparation time."

"Yeah, apart from the last resort, very few teams would choose to make substitutions before the end of halftime." The commentator said.

In the last few minutes of the first half, neither side had a good chance. At the end of the midfield, the national team relied on Sun Yixuan's goal to take a one-goal lead.

After the team W made a substitution, Liu Feiyu kept staring at the opponent's replacement player, wondering what tactics the opponent would adopt.

But after the substitution, the W team's skills and tactics have not changed much.

"In the second half, our tactics will remain the same," Liu Feiyu said while looking at the players. Unaware of the opponent's intention to make substitutions, Liu Feiyu chose to remain unchanged.

Speaking of this, Liu Feiyu looked at Xu Qi and said, "Xu Qi, the player who just played against you, you should take care of him in the second half."

"Understood." Xu Qi said.

"In the second half, we need to speed up the frequency of passing the ball. In one-on-one situations, we need to choose more breakthroughs. But when we break through, we must pay attention to protecting ourselves and not getting injured." Liu Feiyu said: "When breaking through, we must pay attention to the opponent's players who have received a yellow card. It is best if they can get a second yellow card. If not, it is good to let them passively substitute. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The players shouted loudly.

During the intermission, the W team changed another player, this time it was a matchup substitution in the midfield, and a substitution at the winger position.

This substitution was unexpected by Liu Feiyu.

According to the data, the player who was replaced was the fastest player in the W team, and he was also the shortest player.

"Zheng Jun, don't participate in the attack in the second half. Guard him!" Liu Feiyu shouted at Zheng Jun.

"Understood!" As a full-back, assists are not Zheng Jun's strong point, but defense and filling is Zheng Jun's strong point.

Liu Feiyu knew that this substitution in the midfield position of the W team must be to strengthen the offense.And the previous substitution, was it a preparation for this substitution?
Thinking of this, Liu Feiyu yelled loudly at Qi Haiming again: "Pay attention to the player who played in the first half, he may switch to your side!"

"Okay!" Qi Haiming agreed without thinking, and looked at the opponent's player who played in the first half.

"Director Liu is right to be worried!" Director Xu looked at the field and said, "The player on Team W can play on both sides. And their right back can also play left back."

"You mean that in the second half, the two wings of Team W will change drastically?" the commentator said.

"It's not necessarily a big change, but it's certain to change positions." Director Xu said looking at the court.
