On March 1, 1994, the newly formed Huizhou Panshi football team presented a wonderful game for the audience at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, which was also the first friendly match between the two teams. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of the game, Rivaldo found Bebeto with a long pass, Bebeto knocked horizontally, and the football came to the feet of Romario who was killed in the diagonal field, and then Romario caught up with the defender to fill in the position, and controlled the ball and shot hard.

It has to be said that Romario's shot straight into the right corner of the goal was of great quality, and the goalkeeper of the U.S. team struggled to save the football from the bottom line, and Romario won a valuable corner opportunity for Huizhou Panshi.

Lacking the height advantage in front of goal, Huizhou Panshi's corner opportunity chose a tactical corner.

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, how could the American players never have thought that this tactical corner kick of Huizhou Panshi would end with a world wave.

Dunga seized the opportunity of the opposition goalkeeper's view to be blocked, and suddenly fired a cold arrow, a powerful long-range shot flew through the penalty area, and the football drew a beautiful curve straight to the top right corner of the goal.

After taking the lead, Huizhou Panshi sacrificed a dense defense. In the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of American players, the Huizhou Panshi players united as one to ensure that the goal was not lost.

Opportunity always favors those who are prepared, and before the end of the first half, the Huizhou Panshi team used the defensive counterattack to make another contribution.

Dunga intercepted the cross of the American player to set off the prelude to Huizhou Panshi's counterattack, Rivaldo and Bebeto's magical short pass combination directly penetrated the vulnerable defense of the opposing defender, and then Bebeto attracted the opponent's goalkeeper to attack and smash the ball with his heel, Romario followed up as the back row of the offensive terminal and shot hard to help Huizhou Panshi score another goal.

With a two-goal lead, Huizhou Panshi insisted on defensive counterattack tactics unwaveringly, and still maintained the score of 2:0 until the end of the game in the case of a large rotation of players on the field.

If the first friendly match was due to the lack of preparation of the U.S. national team and the lack of defeat, then the second friendly match between the two teams at the Rose Bowl Stadium on March 11 was a real thing and bayonet.

Long Zheng did not come to watch this game, and he also listened to the details of Huizhou Panshi head coach Carlos Parreira told him by phone.

No adjustment in the face of victory, this is a common rule in football. Therefore, in this game, Huizhou Panshi still continued the starting lineup of the first game, with a formation of 442 on the field.

Among them, Romario and Bebeto co-starred as strikers; In the midfield position, the diamond-shaped position of the front waist - left fullback - right fullback - back is adopted, Rivaldo serves as the front midfielder, Gao **** serves as the left midfielder, Xie Yuxin serves as the right midfielder, and Dunga serves as the back midfield; In the defender position, Li Hongjun, Xu Hong, Wei Qun, Jiang Feng, four domestic players serve as left fullback, central defender, central defender, and right fullback; In the goalkeeper position, Ou Chuliang still serves as the starting goalkeeper.

Unlike Huizhou Panshi's starting formation, the U.S. national team has made great adjustments to the team's lineup.

Fearing the midfield of Huizhou Rock, the U.S. national team changed the on-field formation from 532 to 523 in the midfield. Raising the banner of flying high, the U.S. national team put the battlefield directly in front of the goals of both teams.

No. 1 Tony Meola, No. 2 Mike Lapel, No. 3 Mike Burns, No. 4 Clement Coyman, No. 5 Thomas Dolly, No. 6 John Hakes, No. 7 Hugo Perez, No. 8 Herne Stewart, No. 9 Tarb Ramos, No. 10 Roy Weigler, No. 11 Eric Winnalda, No. 12 Jurgen Sommer, No. 13 Kobe Jones, No. 14 Frank Kolopas, No. 15 Joe Moore, No. 16 Mike Sobel, No. 17 Marcelo Balboa, No. 18 Brad Friedel, No. 19 Claudio Reina, No. 20 Paolo Caligiuri, No. 21 Fernando Clavijo, No. 22 Alessi Laras, 22 players of the U.S. team are holding their breath and are bound to regain the lost face of the U.S. national team at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.

U.S. national team head coach Bora Milutinovic's move to remove a midfielder and add a striker was unanimously supported by the players.

In the frontcourt position, Tarb Ramos, Eric Wennalda, and Jürgen Sommer combined as the striker; In the midfield position, Hugo Perez and Roy Wiegler are central defenders, attacking and retreating; In the back position, Mike Lapel, Mike Burns, Clement Coyman, Thomas Dolly, John Hakes, five players play left wingback, central defender, central defender, central defender, right wing-back; In the goalkeeper position, Tony Meola is still the starting goalkeeper.

Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the second friendly match between the U.S. national team and the Huizhou Panshi team officially started.

After the first friendly match, both teams know each other well. In this game, the two teams got into the groove extremely quickly, and the game quickly turned into a white-hot battle.

South American technical flow vs North American physical flow, the technical and tactical banners of the two teams are distinct, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Because the U.S. team gave up the midfield, the Rock team quickly passed through the midfield organization after winning the ball, and penetrated into the big penalty area with three feet and two feet.

Romario, Bebeto, Rivaldo, Gao ****, Xie Yuxin, Dunga, six midfielders bombarded indiscriminately around the iron bucket formation in front of the United States team.

Every time the U.S. team won the ball, it was a big kick and drove the ball to both wings. Or the two central defenders of Hugo Perez and Roy Weigler, or the left forward Tarb Ramos and the right forward Jurgen Sommer, the attacking idea of the American players is that the midfielders get the ball and take the ball along the two sidelines near the baseline, and then cross, and the high school striker and other attacking players in front of the goal compete for the header and carry out high-altitude bombardment.

The two teams came and went, the scene on the field was extremely hot, and the audience was addicted.

The turning point of the game came in the second half.

After 45 minutes of intense high-intensity play in the first half, the physical strength of the players of both teams decreased rapidly, and the error rate of the players of both teams continued to climb as time went on.

In the 55th minute of the game, the United States team made a mistake in clearing the siege, and Huizhou Panshi seized the opportunity and hit a fatal blow.

Bebeto drew the attention of the opposition players and then played a short pass, which Romario cut in from the back row and fired home from a tight angle. 1:0, Huizhou Panshi's ability to grasp opportunities is breathtaking.

With a one-goal lead, Huizhou Panshi decisively contracted the lineup and offered defensive counterattack tactics. Learning the lessons of the first game, the U.S. team no longer dared to ignore defense and attack with all their might.

Under the premise that the American team pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and Huizhou Panshi insists on defensive counterattack, the score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game. (To be continued.) )
