"This is the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the match between China and Switzerland!"

"This game is played in the northern city of St. Petersburg in Russia, and as the venue for this game, the St. Petersburg Stadium is also occupied by enthusiastic fans of the two teams!"

"The players from both teams have entered the stadium, and the starting lineups of both teams are as follows"

China (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Tong Lei.

Defenders; Zhang Chenxi, Liu Kairui, Gao Leiliang, Fan Yi.

Midfielder: Chen Man, Di Lei, Lucai, Ouyang Fei.

Forwards: Chen Xiang, Wang Yi.

Switzerland (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Sommer.

Defenders: Rodriguez, Akanji, Djurou, Michaela.

Midfielder: Juber, Xhaka, Djema Yinli, Behrami, Shaqiri.

Forward: Delmic.

The Chinese team still adopts a 4-4-2 formation that is more prone to defense and control.

As a double forward, Wang Yi and Chen Xiang serve as arrow figures, but their respective responsibilities are different.

Chen Xiang is still the fulcrum, while Wang Yi is more responsible for the offensive organization in the frontcourt.

Compared with before, Lippi swapped the positions of Wang Yi and Ouyang Fei.

Let Ouyang Fei, who is better at breakthroughs, sprint from the wing, while Wang Yi is more organized and offensive.

It can be said that Lippi wants to squeeze out all the value of Wang Yi to some extent.

On the one hand, they don't leave him any space, and on the other hand, they desperately want him to make contributions.

Most people would be annoyed by this kind of treatment.

But Wang Yi does not feel any dissatisfaction with this. He cherishes every opportunity to play in every game.

Even if you let him mark the whole court, he can even not catch the pass.

As long as there is an opportunity to start, as long as it is a tactic formulated by the coaching staff and a tactic that ensures winning, he will implement it.

Wang Yi's good tactical execution ability makes him a piece of the Chinese team, and he can be moved wherever needed.

"Wang Yi, he has made too many sacrifices for victory!"

He Wei also shook his head and sighed.

In this World Cup, Wang Yi played a lot, but almost never appeared in the center position where he is good at.

Either helping to break through on the wing or assisting in organization.

Either retreat, keep an eye on the opponent the whole time, and also need to participate in the attack, running wildly throughout the field.

Or they are restricted to a certain area and cannot even get a shot in a game.

It can be said that as a former top scorer of the Chinese team, this way of playing is somewhat insulting.

But Wang Yi doesn't care about this, and the coaching staff has reached an agreement with Wang Yi, so they dare to use it like this.

But every time they see Wang Yi chasing every ball on the court and being knocked away by the opponent in an awkward manner, those fans who have witnessed Wang Yi's glorious period always feel inexplicably sad in their hearts.

Yes!

It's not that they think Wang Yi's figure is so embarrassing, but that Wang Yi recruits himself, who is now mentally and physically weak.

Everyone has peaks and twilight years.

Looking at Wang Yi’s choice and persistence.

They can't say they agree, but they support it.

Wang Yi closed his eyes and sang the national anthem loudly. He cherishes this World Cup that may be his last.

Soon, after the players from both sides shook hands, the captains of both sides exchanged team flags and chose sides.

Switzerland took the lead in winning the kick-off, while the Chinese team chose the left half.

There wasn't much wind in this game, and although it was drizzling, it didn't matter which side of the course it was on.

The reason why I chose the left side is because in the previous three games, the Chinese team played on the left side of the court in the first half, and they won all three games. In order to seek good luck, they chose the left side.

After the captains of both teams returned to their positions, the game was ready to start at any time.

Swiss center Delmic stands in the center circle.

The cheers at the scene also intensified.

Sharp whistles, surging cheers, singing, etc. all mixed together to make the stadium look extremely chaotic.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle.

The whistle is still extremely clear in the noisy stadium.

Swiss center Delmic kicked off the ball, which also indicated that the game had officially begun.

After the kick-off, the Chinese players quickly pressed forward.

Wang Yi and Chen Xiang approached the opponent's backcourt at full speed. When the opponent completed the return pass, the midfielder immediately pressed forward. Chen Xiang continued to press forward, while Wang Yi covered and blocked the passing route.

Under the instant blockage of the Chinese team, even Zhu Lu, as an organizational defender, was forced to pass the ball directly.

"Jiulu played very cautiously. In fact, he could choose to pass the ball to Xhaka diagonally in front of him, but Chen Man was not far away from him. For this reason, he did not dare to pass the ball easily and directly passed the ball forward with his long foot. As an opening situation, it is considered a relatively stable choice.”

There is no problem with Zhu Lu's choice.

After this pass blocked the Chinese team's half, it was immediately thrown into a dumpling by Lucai and Fan Yi.

Shaqiri's first ball was roughly deflected away by Lucky.

Although Shaqiri also tried to fight back, he could only run with his head down and failed to touch the ball during the three consecutive quick passes and receptions of the Chinese team.

In the end, the ball returned to Lucky's feet again.

With no one approaching, Lucai easily stepped on the ball and looked ahead.

"The beautiful three-legged pass not only got rid of Shaqiri's defense, but also allowed Lucai to hold the ball more easily!"

"Of course, after the start, the Chinese team's forward attack was also very thoughtful, and it immediately forced Switzerland to start and destroy."

He Wei praised.

Zhang Lu nodded: "Swiss defender Djuru, this is an organizational defender who once played for Arsenal. He is fully capable of controlling the ball. However, in the opening stage, his teammates' bodies have not warmed up yet, so he just played for safety reasons." Just shoot big. After all, before entering the game, there are many examples of conceding the ball at the beginning, and Zhu Lu is also very cautious.

"Yes! Now that the ball has come to the Chinese team, how can the Chinese team stop the advance?"

In the footage, Lucky passed the ball to Ouyang Fei and approached Ouyang Fei's wing position.

Ouyang Fei did not rush to pass the ball, but waited for the opponent to grab the ball before passing the ball to Wang Yi.

Immediately, he quickly ran forward and wanted to kick a one-two.

But the intention was too obvious, and Switzerland caught him unawares, and they retreated together.

In this case, Wang Yi could not pass the ball, he could only pass the ball back to Lucai.

Lucai caught the ball and passed the ball twice to Di Lei, waited for Ouyang Fei to retreat, and then continued to pass to Ouyang Fei.

Both attacks were launched from the left, which surprised the commentator He Wei.

"The Chinese team launched two consecutive attacks on the left wing. Is this their new tactic in this game? Also, Chen Man will not play here?"

Of course Chen Man will not give up on this wing.

But the Chinese team must devote itself to Switzerland to establish a threat ability on the left side, so that Chen Man will not attract too much hatred when he breaks through.

However, the premise of all this is that Ouyang Fei must be kicked out.

At this time, Ouyang Fei was also constantly passing and receiving.

For some reason, his head felt extremely clear.

With the rain pouring down, my head felt a little chilly, but it was very cool.

Every shot he handles the ball is very good, not fast, but very stable.

Ouyang Fei kept Lucai's words in his mind.

‘I handled it calmly from the first kick, allowing myself to gradually become familiar with the feeling of the game. ’

That's what Ouyang Fei did.

Not impatient or disjointed.

After forming contact with teammates, try to find breakthrough opportunities on the wing.

Pass after pass, catch again and again.

Ouyang Fei felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and his feet also felt hot.

After getting familiar with the feel of the ball, he didn't rush to make any moves.

Instead, multiple supplementary positions are used to stop the ball, including the top of the foot, the arch of the foot, the outside of the foot, and even the sole of the foot.

When passing the ball, he will also use a variety of footwork such as pressing the ball, pushing the ball, and pumping the ball, as well as adapting the strength.

He constantly adjusted his condition during the game.

Even if he lost the ball, he was not discouraged, but quickly chased back and stalked the opponent.

Ouyang Fei knew that his defensive ability was not particularly good, so he entangled the opponent while waiting for the assistance of his teammates.

Under this situation, Ouyang Fei continued to put pressure on Switzerland time and time again on the wing.

The young No. 11 of the Chinese team actually has an aggressive feeling.

Especially Swiss full-back Michael Elan, he could clearly feel that the Chinese player in front of him would launch the most violent attack on him after the test.
