An Rong has been waiting in the locker room for a long time. After all the players came in one by one, he beckoned everyone to sit down, and then his eyes wandered around the locker room before saying: "Final! This is not only the first time you have participated in the final of the World Cup, but also the first time in the history of the entire Chinese team." I don't want to say anything else, tactically, we've practiced enough in training in the past few days, we don't change the way we think about attack, I just want to talk about defense. ”

After a pause, he continued: "First of all, everyone knows that we have been secretly training the 'chain defense' in the past few days, and the purpose of this is to play a role in the finals. You all know very well that Neymar likes to dribble and juggle, so let him play, and we will use chain defense to freeze the Brazilian attack group led by Neymar. It's been years since anyone used a defensive method like this, and I'm sure it will work wonders when it's on the pitch!"

Seeing that the players didn't speak, he said to himself: "Neymar is used to moving on the left side, and on this side, the Brazilian team also has Marcelo, and the defensive pressure on the right side of our corresponding is very high." Xu Ziyi, you have to pay attention to the protection and support of Zhao Wenkang and Tang Ling at any time, and the position left by Xu Ziyi after leaving, Li Mu, you come to add, understand?"

"Understood!" the two nodded.

"In addition, Zhang Shujie, when necessary, you should also retreat appropriately, what I mean, you should be clear. ”

Zhang Shujie straightened his chest and said, "I know, An Zhi." ”

"I don't want to say more about other places, when attacking, we must play to the front as soon as possible, dribble less, pass more, and don't be too far apart from each other, so that it is easy to be penetrated by the opponent, then our chain defense will not work. We have come to the final, and our goal is to win the championship! If we miss this opportunity, no one dares to guarantee how long we will have to wait, and no one dares to say that we will still be able to stand on the final field in the next World Cup! Although you have already made history by reaching the final, now that you have the opportunity to write this history again, I have only one request for you! Win!"

The last two words, An Rong said very softly, but when each team member listened to them, they felt very loud. For the first time, they felt that "winning" was such a heavy word, and it would be a responsibility that they would carry on their backs.

In the dressing room of the Brazilian team, Sampaoli is different from An Rong, he mainly focuses on attack, not that he doesn't pay attention to defense, but Brazilian players are born to attack, even if Paulinho is a player with average skills at his feet, he also likes to insert and attack two feet, and like David Luiz and Thiago Silva, which one is not a defender who likes to attack? Not to mention Marcelo, Alves and Danilo.

An Rong is a person who likes to play defense and counterattack, and defense will be the most important point for them. What we need to do is to resist their counter-attacks, especially in the midfield! If we lose the ball in the front court when we attack, try to get it back in the middle of the field, and even if we can't get it back, we have to block them with tactical fouls!"

Sampaoli is well aware of the power of the Chinese team's defense, and he also said that he would stop them at the cost of fouls. In the attack, Sampaoli asked Casemiro and Paulinho to customize the plan of inserting the back row to attack, and the control of the middle and the forward insertion on both sides will be an important offensive means for the Brazilian team. Of course, all tactics are centered on Neymar, and now this Brazilian team cannot be without Neymar.

The game was about to start, and the players of both teams also walked out of the dressing room, and the main players stood in the tunnel of the players. The captains of both teams, Ma Junqiang and Thiago Silva, were at the front of the team, with Zhang Shujie at the end of the Chinese queue and Neymar from Brazil in the middle.

Several referees on duty slowly walked to the court, and the team moved slowly, after walking out of the players' tunnel, Zhang Shujie could clearly feel the enthusiasm brought by the fans in the stands, although the game had not yet started.

"It's out. Wang Shihan said softly. With a nervous and expectant mood, she hopes that Zhang Shujie can continue to play in the previous games in the finals.

The two teams made the national anthem, took a group photo, shook hands, and when Zhang Shujie and Neymar shook hands, Neymar's palms quietly exerted force, and Zhang Shujie did not show weakness and fought back.

The captains of both sides picked sides, and in the first half, Brazil chose the ball, and the Chinese team chose the venue. Compared with other teams, the Chinese team doesn't really care who kicks off first, anyway, the Chinese team is not based on passing control, focusing on counterattacks, and who kicks off first actually has no obvious impact on them.

Xiong Kui and Pan Yongcheng waited well, as soon as the referee blew the whistle, they immediately led the cheerleading team to cheer for the Chinese team. And Liu Fang, who is behind the Chinese team's goal, is ready to take pictures of the Chinese team's goals in the game - he hopes that the Chinese team will score as much as possible.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu briefly exchanged a few words in the front court; Chen Zihua looked at Jesus standing in the center circle; Xu Ziyi looked at the back court; Yan Tao and Liang Xiran made a simple high-five; and Ma Junqiang moved twice in front of the goal.

The players of both teams are already in their respective positions, waiting for the game to start. With a whistle in his mouth, the referee raised his left hand to look at the watch on his wrist. There were some fragmentary sounds in the stadium before, but now it is strangely quiet, and everyone is waiting for this world-famous match.

"Toot!!" The referee blew the whistle immediately, and not a second was missing. Gabriel Jesus knocked the ball to Coutinho, who played it to Casemiro. The 21st World Cup in Russia in 2018 has officially begun!
