Greenery Reverses The Madness

Sports City Stadium.

The World Cup belonging to the Chinese team has officially begun.

From the moment Luo Guofu kicked off the ball, the scene entered an exciting rhythm.

There is no other reason, just because this is the World Cup!

Whether at the scene or in front of the TV, every Chinese fan does not want to miss any scene on the field.

The majestic cheering was shocking, and the spectacular Chinese red in the stands was enough to go down in history!

The experienced Uruguay did not speed up immediately after the start.

On paper, the Chinese team is weak and Uruguay is strong.

But Uruguay really doesn’t understand the Chinese team.

Except for Ye Yifeng, the strength levels of other players are only roughly understood through pre-match opponent analysis.

It may take some time to test and observe what the actual actual combat will look like.

Taking a step back, the Chinese team was also among the top 16 teams in the last World Cup.

Ye Yifeng sits in the midfield, although to be precise, the Chinese team played a 4312 formation, with three midfielders behind him.

But at the beginning of the game, Ye Yifeng's position was still further behind.

Xu Xin assisted in defending the right wing, Li Ke assisted in defending the left wing, and Ye Yifeng and Wu Xi blocked the attack in the middle.

Alan and Luo Guofu actively counterattacked near the midline.

The situation is clear.

The Chinese team adopted the lowest posture to defend and counterattack.

If you just put a bus in front of the door, that's called defending.

But now they still have room to counterattack.

Uruguay continuously changed sides to try to advance, but they were unwilling to play in the middle.

Ye Yifeng knows the strength of these midfield players very well.

Bentancur and Torreira, just saying that they were defeated would be too arrogant.

But as far as offense is concerned,

Their impact is limited and their creativity is limited.

Although he has never played against Vecino, the opponent's central midfielder is not as direct a threat as a traditional attacking midfielder in terms of ball handling options.

Therefore, the core of the game's offense and defense naturally became whether the Chinese team could withstand Uruguay's continuous impact.

At least they don't have to worry about being penetrated by Uruguay's exquisite coordination.

Uruguay doesn't have that ability.

The Chinese team's offense is very simple. The three midfielders and full-backs try their best to pass the ball to Ye Yifeng's feet, and then the Uruguay team will form a blockade on Ye Yifeng's line.

Luo Guofu and Alan need to move away from each other, allowing Ye Yifeng to freely choose the target of the pass. However, after the ball is passed to the feet of the two, the forward offensive can only rely on the personal abilities of the two or the formation of simple cooperation.

Uruguay's defense is full of famous players or top defenders in the past. Although they are a bit older, the two forwards of the Chinese team do not pose much of an offensive threat. They continued to attack and failed to create shooting opportunities.

Lippi was calm and composed on the sidelines, and Gallardo was equally calm and composed.

Gallardo could not see the offensive threat of the Chinese team.

As long as Uruguay maintains at least four defensive players who can withstand the Chinese team's double forward attack, then everything is safe!

What he was most worried about was naturally Ye Yifeng's sudden advance.

This requires the midfielder to be on guard at all times when returning to defense, and at the same time, the full-backs on the back line rush to the center to cut off the passing line between the forward and Ye Yifeng.

The experienced Uruguay dealt with it easily, at least the defense was under their control, and there was no scene that made them panic.

After 20 minutes of the game, the Uruguay team started to speed up the attack!

The trial phase is over.

The Chinese team's zone defense is indeed very active, and there is no picture of Uruguay's personal ability bringing local advantages.

Then we must rely on group cooperation to make frequent attacks and see if the Chinese team can withstand it!

When Nandez and Vecino plus veteran Caceres assisted to form a partial triangle passing system on the right side of the frontcourt, Wang Shenchao and Li Ke could only block the inside and give up the outside.

The defensive pressure surges!

When Uruguay thought they could play an advantage, to their surprise, Luo Guofu actively returned to the backcourt to participate in defense.

His pressing may not necessarily steal the ball, but it can disrupt Uruguay's offensive rhythm.

When Vecino cut inside to receive Nandez's pass, someone passed him by and took the ball away before he even touched the ball.

The Uruguay team suddenly became nervous.

Ye Yifeng!

Ye Yifeng directly changed the direction of the ball and started dribbling forward.

Nandez and Vecino chased back.

Cáceres knew that it was too late for him to return to defense, so he decisively stepped forward to block the ball.

Ye Yifeng stepped on the bicycle with his right foot, pulled the ball with his left foot and changed direction to rush to the right.

When he passed by Caceres, the latter decisively pulled him to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Caceres and received a yellow card!

Gallardo gritted his teeth secretly.

Caceres taking a card so early is an unfavorable sign.

After 3 minutes, Uruguay changed sides and played on the left.

Ye Yifeng stayed in the middle this time and directed Wu Xi to help defend the wings.

Xu Xin, Wang Gang, and Wu Xi's proactive attack disrupted the rhythm of Uruguay's offense before it could gain a regional advantage.

Bentancur knocked the ball across the middle.

When Vecino took the initiative to respond, he encountered Ye Yifeng who suddenly stepped forward to grab the position. After a physical confrontation between the two, Ye Yifeng completed the steal. He dropped his shoulders and faked, then cut back and spiked the ball to get rid of Vecino and then dribbled forward.

Just as he started up, he was pushed from behind and fell to the ground.

He fell to the ground and turned over to look.

Suarez extended a hand of friendship to him.

Ye Yifeng was pulled up by the opponent, but after getting up, he put pressure on the referee.

The referee took out another card and Suarez got a yellow card!

Chinese fans watched with mixed emotions.

Uruguay is not a fool!

Any fan who has carefully watched the performance of the Chinese team in the last World Cup knows that the Chinese team more or less caught their opponents off guard in the last World Cup.

Ye Yifeng has just ascended to the super giant throne, but he is playing as a defensive midfielder!

The opponent looked confused.

It was not possible to block and restrict him in all aspects.

The result was correct.

But judging from Uruguay's performance since the first game of this World Cup, their blockade of Ye Yifeng is still in place.

If you can't prevent it, you'll foul.

No worries.

Even if it weakens their own fault tolerance.

But shouldn’t the use of foul tolerance be used at the most dangerous moments?

What's most dangerous?

The ball control threat of Ye Yifeng in the Chinese team is the most dangerous!

The yellow card is worth it!

After 30 minutes of the game, Uruguay's strategy of relying on continuous group coordination to frequently attack the Chinese team's defense did not work.

The Chinese team has many defenders, and Ye Yifeng directs the midfielder to help defend. At the same time, he makes up for the interception, which works well.

On the contrary, the two forwards of the Chinese team have entered the state. Luo Guofu and Alan's ball control ability is still clearly better than that of the national football players. Although they lack speed, they can at least play in the frontcourt.

It is impossible to talk about deterring Uruguay's defense, but a stage like the World Cup will make Uruguay's overall formation retreat.

Give the Chinese team’s midfielder and backcourt time and space to breathe and reshape and adjust their defense.

Uruguay switched their style of play again.

The midfielder tried to control the ball to create a pressing scene. Ye Yifeng directed his teammates to fight and retreat, never rushing forward.

When Bentancur and Vecino entered the dangerous offensive area together.

Ye Yifeng raised his hand and pointed to the front area of ​​the penalty area behind him without looking back.

Li Ke and Xu Xin immediately went to hold key positions and shrink the defense line.

When Luo Guofu and Alan retreated to actively press, Wu Xi immediately stepped forward to form a zone defense, and the three teamed up to surround Vecino and Bentancur.

Bentancur immediately passed the ball to the wing.

That's the best option and the safest option.

But Ye Yifeng moved!

He decisively rushed to the side, and together with Li Ke and Wang Shenchao, they formed an encirclement and suppression of Nandez!

Although in the end it was Li Ke who broke the ball out of the sideline when he stole the ball.

But the Chinese team still successfully limited the opponent's offense.

Ye Yifeng clapped his hands to boost the team's morale.

Well done to everyone.

In particular, the two forwards retreating to counterattack and apply pressure are very important for defense.

Although this is definitely at the cost of physical fitness, Luo Guofu and Alan are also the players who consume the most.

Gallardo was starting to get a little upset.

The Chinese team did not put up a super bus with 5 and 6 defenders huddled in the penalty area.

Ye Yifeng's commanding and dispatching performance in the midfield was very dazzling.

Uruguay kept switching their playing styles, using methods that had a higher success rate in comparison, but they still couldn't withstand the Chinese team's siege.

There is no doubt that the Chinese team is in a huge passive situation.

The fans in front of the TV felt very depressed and nervous.

The fans at the scene must also have such emotions, but they kept shouting and cheering!

At least the Chinese team did play as a team and showed a commendable fighting spirit.

The naturalized players did not disappoint them.

For them, who are on the World Cup stage for the first time, this will surely be a beautiful memory of football in their lives and the most important journey.

As the game approached the 40th minute, Uruguay began to hit long shots!

The Chinese team did not shoot, and Uruguay did not shoot after the opening.

They know very well that they want to create pressure on the Chinese team's defense and bring some psychological panic. Long shots are definitely a conventional method.

It's just that they have been avoiding playing in the middle before, fearing that if the middle is penetrated and the ball is not intercepted, Ye Yifeng backhand pushed past their midfield, and they would be too passive in returning to defense.

When Torreira came up with an assist to receive Vecino's diagonal pass and hit a long-range shot, Ye Yifeng gestured to his teammates.

Hold on tight, don't rush in easily!

Outside the 25-yard area in front of the goal, the opponent wants to take a long shot, feel free to do so.

The strength of the Chinese team cannot cover every aspect and block and restrict any opponent in the World Cup.

If your opponent gets pregnant with World Wave, admit it.

If the opponent's long shot creates chaos, a player makes a follow-up shot or other circumstances cause the ball to be conceded, admit it.

This is the essential part of football.

Because this is determined by strength.

If you don’t admit it, you must strengthen the counter-attack to limit the opponent’s long-range shots. There is a high probability that a situation will occur: the opponent’s long-range shot threat is indeed limited, but the opponent is allowed to use interspersed movements to catch the opponent’s long-range shots and expose them due to counter-attacks. Use the opportunity to create a infiltration threat!

Uruguay does not dare to shorten the long-range shooting distance too much. After all, the pressure on the defense after losing the ball may not be able to withstand it.

Before the end of the half, Bentancur's long shot was blocked by Wang Dalei.

Then Xu Xin made a header to clear the ball. Alan controlled the ball and wanted to launch a fast break, but Uruguayan full-back Moreira destroyed the ball out of the sideline in time.

The referee blows the whistle to end the half-time game.

China 0:0 Uruguay!
