Chapter 1157: Forty-five Minutes Later

The Chinese players entered the locker room, and An Rong gathered everyone around and said, "Very good, your performance in the first half was generally very good. In addition to not blocking Messi, but this is not a shame, anyone is under a lot of pressure in the face of Messi, Yuan Chengye, you have to boldly attack forward, otherwise Zhao Wenkang alone is easy to be targeted by the opponent, you have to believe in yourself, don't be afraid, your breakthrough in the first half won us a free kick in the front, so you have to believe that you can attack. ”

Yuan Chengye nodded vigorously and said, "Understood, An Zhi." ”

"Also, don't miss people when defending at the back, especially when the opposition takes set-pieces, and keep an eye on their people. I won't say much about the rest, but in the second half we played the same way we did in the first half. Argentina is very afraid of our counter-attack, so if you look for opportunities, you have to play out and try to stick the ball as little as possible at the back, you know?"

"Yes!" the team members said in unison.

An Rong warned the players about some small problems in the first half, and the rest of the time was left to them. An Rong didn't have much to say, the players of this national team were too familiar with each other, An Rong just wanted to simplify the complex, and talking too much was not necessarily a good thing.

In Argentina's dressing room, Sampaoli's biggest concern is defense. He also understands that it is too difficult to keep an eye on Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, but so what? Do you let them go? Sampaoli said: "We must guard their forwards, they have already scored a goal, and we can't let them score again!" There is also their midfielder ......" Speaking of this, Sampaoli paused for a while before saying: "Damn, how can there be such a perverted midfield combination in the national team, the four of them...... In short, you can't let them play the ball at will anymore, especially not let them pass the ball to the front!"

Without waiting for the players to speak, Sampaoli said: "On the offensive side, I asked you to use the right side of the Chinese team as a breakthrough, not to let you only play their right side, so that the Chinese team can easily make a targeted defensive strategy." You can play in the middle and on the left! In the second half, I want to see you blossom more!"

In the press box, Shen Hao looked at his record and said to Chen Hui: "In the first half, China led Argentina in the number of shots on goal, but in terms of ball possession, Argentina had 5% more than the Chinese team. ”

Chen Hui said: "It's useless. Now many teams don't care about possession anymore, they just want to score more goals, and possession doesn't bring victory to the team at all. I don't quite understand why Argentina chose to play pass control in this cup, you must know that the last thing the Chinese team is afraid of is pass control. ”

"What do they do if they don't play passing? Can they still play fast attacks? Di Maria, the fastest player in the team, is sitting on the bench. ”

"No matter what they play, I think the Chinese team has a way to crack it. Take a look at Zhang Shujie's goal, it was completely achieved by several teams relying on their individual ability. Chen Hui glanced at Shen Hao and said: "Continue to score, after the level of Argentina, in front, it is the final!"

***********************

Wang Shihan watched the substitute players warming up on the court from the stands, and she was a little nervous for some reason. The Chinese team is very close to entering the final, and there are still 45 minutes to go, and the Chinese team will make history in Asian football.

Zhou Ying, Ye Xiaotong and Gu Qingqing also changed their previous attitudes, no chatting at halftime, looking forward to the Chinese team finally beating Argentina. Although the Chinese team is now leading the score on the field, Argentina still has a Messi no matter what it says, and judging from the first half of the game, Messi's state is very good, and a Messi who is online is terrible.

The break at halftime was short, the players of both teams had already walked out of the tunnel and judging by the personnel on the field, there were no substitutions for either team. In the second half, the two sides will exchange venues and continue the game.

Zhang Shujie stood in the middle circle, waiting for the referee's whistle. The referee was looking at his watch and the whistle was in his mouth. The fans in the spectator stand seemed quiet now, and everyone was waiting for the game to start.

"Toot!" the referee blew a whistle, and the second half of the game began, Zhang Shujie passed the ball back to Xu Ziyi in the middle circle.

"Good morning, viewers, you are now watching the second half of the second semi-final of the 21st World Cup in Russia, which is played by the Chinese team against the Argentine team. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Zhang Shujie scored a goal for the Chinese team to help the team temporarily lead Argentina 1:0. In the second half, the Chinese team attacked from the left side of the screen to the right, and Argentina attacked from the right side of the screen to the left. ”

After kick-off, the Chinese team did not rush to the front, but patiently poured their feet in the backfield. They know that Argentina, which is lagging behind, will definitely not wait and will definitely take the initiative to attack.

Argentina really pressed up, Icardi approached Yan Tao who got the ball, Yan Tao made the ball to Tang Ling, Tang Ling passed Yuan Chengye again, Rodriguez rushed up, Yuan Chengye passed the ball back to Tang Ling.

Messi also came up, Tang Ling passed to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi directly divided the ball to the left, Xu Zhixin was about to receive the ball, Correa stepped forward to steal, his original intention was to grab the ball, but the kick was too strong, kicked the ball outside the sideline, and the Chinese team got a throw-in.

"The Chinese team has to throw a throw-in at the beginning, and many people may not attach much importance to this kind of throw-in, but in fact it is also an offensive opportunity, and it is not uncommon to score by serving a throw-in. Of course, the Chinese team's throw-in will definitely not be able to score, and now the ball is in the backfield of the Chinese team. ”

Huang Yu held the ball and looked around, but decided to give it to Xu Zhixin, Xu Zhixin unloaded the ball with his chest and knocked it back to Huang Yu. At this time, Huang Yu faced the bag of two people, and it was in the sideline, and the space was very small whether it was passed or banded, and it was not very easy to deal with.

Chen Zihua, Xu Zhixin, and Yan Tao all went to pick him up, but Correa and Mascherano, who surrounded Huang Yu, almost stuck to Huang Yu's body, so that he couldn't pass the ball out at all, and he had already done it to the extreme before he lost the ball. He came up with a solution that was not the way to go: hit the ball at the feet of Mascherano and bounce off the sideline, allowing the Chinese team to retain the ball.

The idea is very good, and Huang Yu did the same. He kicked the ball towards Mascherano's leg, and the ball bounced off Mascherano's left leg, Huang Yu thought the ball would pop directly out of bounds, but the ball bounced to his foot again, and after jumping for a while, he jumped out of bounds.
