Chapter 624: The Second Half Begins

?“ Now that the first half of the game is over, China is temporarily leading Costa Rica 2:0 with the goals of Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua, which is a very favorable score for the Chinese team and will also make the Chinese team play well in the second half. Ladies and gentlemen, take a short break, and after 15 minutes, let's welcome the second half together. ”

The players of the two teams walked off the court and walked to the locker room, Calvo, who had only warmed up on the sidelines for four minutes, was also called to the locker room by Pinto, and it was not difficult to see that Pinto was indeed in a hurry to get the score back.

After the Chinese players walked into the locker room, they simply took a shower and changed their clothes, and after sitting down, An Rong immediately said: "We led 2-0 in the first half, I think the outside will think that we played very well, do you think so too?"

The players were stunned for a moment and didn't speak, and An Rong said again: "You must think so, after we scored the second goal in the 40th minute of the game, I saw that some players were a little deserted, do you think that the first half is about to end, and there are two more balls in hand, so do you think Costa Rica has not lost its fighting spirit?"

The team members still didn't speak, only Tang Linghe, who was sitting next to each other, quietly glanced at each other in his eyes, and pouted at the same time.

An Rong said again: "Okay, since you don't want to answer, then I'll say it directly." You can score two goals, and if I say you didn't play well, I'm afraid I don't even believe it. Will a team that can beat the opponent's city twice in the first half not perform well?"

This time, the players finally nodded, but An Rong said: "Your good performance is more in the offensive end, in the defensive aspect, there are still some mistakes, one of which almost made a big mistake, that time Costa Rica hit our backfield and suppressed us for at least five minutes." Yes, if you want to win, you have to attack, but if you don't want to lose, you have to defend. I still say the same thing, if you lose the ball when attacking, the nearest player is the first time to counter-rob on the spot, other players should pay attention to the gaps around them, be ready to defend at any time, and also be optimistic about the players who are inserted behind the opponent, do you know?"

"Got it!" the team shouted.

An Rong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Others, I won't be verbose, in the second half, we don't have to press high in the whole process, shrink the formation a little, and focus on defense." However, do not retreat to the back 30 meters, it is very dangerous, to form the first line of defense in the area of about 40 meters. ”

"Understood!"

'Very good, about attacking, keep it the same as in the first half, I hope to see another goal in the second half, and I hope not to concede in the second half!'

After An Rong explained some matters, he left time to the players, Costa Rica is different, Pinto is a thorough understanding of the Chinese team's offensive group, he needs to find a way to keep an eye on the Chinese team's two-layer attack line in an all-round way.

"When keeping an eye on Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, we should also pay attention to their midfield, it is not uncommon for midfielders to score goals after insertion, in this World Cup, the three midfielders they have scored have all relied on strikers to attract the defense and then cut forward to score. Pinto said as he drew the key points on the tactical board: "Within five meters near the penalty area, the Chinese team's attack is very threatening, they can always pass good balls to our penalty area, and it is not excluded that they can also shoot directly when they are facing the goal. ”

As he spoke, Pinto drew a few more strokes, and the tactical board, which had already written a lot of words, was drawn by him like this, and it looked a little messy.

Pinto talked a lot to the players, and he didn't finish talking about the start of the second half, just like the first half, until the start of the game.

"Okay, Gonzalez, you rest in the second half, Calvo comes up, play left striker, now you all go out, just remember what I said. ”

The Costa Rican players walked out of the locker room and talked in the tunnel in pairs of threes. Next to it is the player tunnel of the Chinese team, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Ma Junqiang, and Zhao Wenkang gathered around and had a simple exchange.

The camera camera focused on the Chinese players, and Liu Jianhong also said: "The second half of the game will start soon, and the players have gathered in the players' tunnel first. ”

Zhang Lu laughed hesitantly and said: "Looking at the expressions of the Chinese players, I can still see that they are very relaxed, they are all talking and laughing. ”

"That's right, after all, the 2-0 game is in hand. I believe that in addition to the players, many Chinese fans are also very relaxed, although the advantage of two goals in football matches is not very large, but it is definitely not small, especially on a stage like the World Cup. ”

"Hehe, judging from the current situation, the hope of the Chinese team to advance is still relatively large, provided that there is no convulsion in the second half and no big mistakes. ”

As he was talking, the players in the player tunnel began to walk out, Liu Jianhong said: "The players on both sides have walked out of the player tunnel, and the second half of the game will start soon." ”

The substitutes who warmed up on the field walked to the bench, and twenty-two main players walked onto the field. The two teams exchanged venues, changed sides and fought again, Costa Rica used the first substitution at the beginning, with striker Calvo replacing defender Gonzalez, and the formation also changed to a 433 attacking formation.

This is the first time Costa Rica have tried this formation in four World Cup matches, and Costa Rica, who are not good at attacking actively, have also been forced to attack with all their might for 45 minutes.

An Rong did not change the formation, he rarely made substitutions at the beginning, unless there was an injury, a big score behind, etc., or he really couldn't stand the performance of a certain player, but at present, there has not been such a situation. It's just that he asked Song Weifeng to inform Cao Dong and asked Cao Dong to call Xu Zhixin and Wu Xiao to warm up.

As for why An Rong only sent two instead of three, it was because he kept one hand, and there were forty-five minutes left in the game, and no one knew what would happen next, so he had to wait for about twenty minutes first, and then consider whether to let the offensive players warm up or let the defenders warm up.

The second half will be kicked off by the Chinese team, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu stand in the middle circle, the other players have also been in place, Liu Fang is now behind the goal of Costa Rica, if the Chinese team can score again in the second half, then the goal picture he took will be clearer than the first half, and he also looks forward to the Chinese team can further expand the score.

The stands were much quieter, but Chinese fans waving the five-star red flag could still be seen, and Chen Hui and Shen Hao sat in the press box, quietly waiting for the game to start.

"Toot!" The referee blew the opening whistle, Zhang Shujie knocked the ball to Li Mu, Li Mu passed back to Chen Zihua, and the second half of the game officially began!
