361 "Unspoken Rules"
It's rare to see three minutes in the first half, unless there were really a lot of interruptions in the first half. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But this first half was quite smooth, and only the Chinese team's goal celebration was the longest interruption.
You must know that Wendell's tackle immersion was only the first yellow card of the first half, which shows how smooth this first half was.
It was a surprise that there were as many as three minutes of stoppage time in such a fluid first half.
"This stoppage time...... Was there three minutes of stoppage time in the first half? Li Yang also asked euphemistically.
The players on the pitch also took note of the first-half stoppage time.
"Damn!" Fang Xu took a sip. "Is it worth three minutes of stoppage time in the first half?"
"I definitely want to buy Brazil a little more time." Ouyang Zhenhua said.
Chen Long also noticed the three-minute stoppage time, he turned his head and said to everyone: "It's okay, let's try to control the football on our side, we really can't hold it, just try to kick the football to their half, as far as we can." ā
Originally, Chen Long planned to kick the football forward and let Zheng Shaoqiu complete an attack single-handedly, whether it succeeded or not, it would be good to harass the Brazilian backline.
But he has now changed his mind.
The chances of scoring on the counter-attack are really low, and the ball will soon fall to the feet of Brazil. Looking at stoppage time, three minutes was enough for Brazil to launch two attacks.
So for now, try to control the football on your side first and use up the three minutes of stoppage time.
So he asked Zheng Shaoqiu to stay in the front court, at the front, while everyone else returned to the midfield, and asked Fang Jun to stay by his side to facilitate his passing.
After Zheng Shaoqiu ran to the front court, he raised his hand to ask for the ball, and his actions attracted Fabinho's close marking.
The Brazilian players also thought that the Chinese team would definitely pass the football to Zheng Shaoqiu, and then let Zheng Shaoqiu attack their defense as a gun, and they paid a little attention to Zheng Shaoqiu when defending.
But when the referee blew the whistle for the game, Chen Long passed the football back to the back Fang Jun.
Fang Jun didn't directly kick the ball forward, but continued to pass the ball back, while Chen Long also ran back to meet his teammates.
In this way, the Chinese team began to fall in the midfield.
Now it's Brazil's turn to press the Chinese team......
After passing a circle, the football was kicked to the front by Du Yi, and was intercepted by the Brazilian goalkeeper Jean who ran out of the penalty area, and then launched an attack.
But by this time, half of the three minutes of stoppage time had passed, and only one and a half minutes remained.
Mosqueto crossed diagonally from the left, Edward headed in from 10 yards, and the ball was dragged off the crossbar by Guo Hao, who then jumped on his back and won a corner.
After the corner kick came out, the football was pushed out by Fang Xu and fell outside the penalty area, and the Brazilian team grabbed possession, and the game continued, and the first half was still not over. The boos from the Chinese fans in the stands grew louder, but were quickly suppressed by the cheers of the Brazilian fans.
Mosqueto received the ball again, and this time he faced the Chinese defence and chose to force his own.
After he burst into the penalty area, in the face of Fang Xu's frontal interception, and Cai Heng's assistance next to him, Mosquito did not choose to continue to break through, but shot directly with his feet.
Guo Haoran pounced sideways, but when he was about to pounce on the football, he raised his hand and put the football over, and the football flew straight out of the bottom line - he was sure that the ball must not have been shot in the goal frame, but he didn't want to give the Brazilian team another chance to take a corner kick, otherwise the first half would not know when it would be over.
He was right, and after the football flew off the line, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
The Chinese team ended the first half with a 1:0 lead, this result was really a bit surprising, no one expected that after 45 minutes, the lead was actually the Chinese team!
Back in the dressing room, Li Tie praised the performance of his players, and he now seems not to worry about praising the team at half-time to get carried away. After all, they are facing Brazil, and they don't have to worry about the Chinese team getting carried away at all.
Then Li Tie asked the team to continue to play like this in the second half, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack on the basis of consolidating the defense. He emphasized "patience".
'You have to be patient and wait for your chances, as the game progresses, if the score can't be rewritten, the pressure will increase and the performance will naturally become more and more impatient. That is our chance, and until then, you must hold your breath and be patient! ā
At the same time, in the dressing room of the Brazilian team, head coach Dunga was also cheering the players: "Trust you, the flag on the chest of your shirt is Brazil!" The Chinese are invincible in table tennis, but in football, it is us who are invincible in the world! Don't be afraid of their lead, play your best and you can change the score! ā
He didn't make any adjustments to his tactics other than a few words of encouragement. Because there is really nothing to adjust, do you want to let the Brazilian team switch to defensive counterattacks? He believes that the only thing that can be changed is the mentality of the players, the tactics and strength are fine, but if there is a problem with the mentality, it will not be able to play.
And in order to adjust the mentality of the players, of course he has to encourage them. In his opinion, these talented players in Brazil have more or less psychological problems, when playing downwind, they are all "Pele II", but once they encounter difficulties and setbacks, they are easy to lose their mentality and lack resilience.
Before this match, Dunga thought that the Chinese team would play defensive counter-attack, because their main game in this Olympics is defensive counter-attack, so you can imagine what tactics they will adopt against a strong Brazil.
But Dunga feels that even if the Chinese team counterattacks with defense, the Brazilian team can mainly control the situation firmly, and there is nothing to worry about. But he really didn't expect the Chinese team to score in the opening 25 seconds...... This conceded goal completely disrupted the rhythm of the Brazilian team, before he replaced Raphinha, the Brazilian team's attack was simply a headless fly, clueless, where to play, he really couldn't stand it, replaced Raphinha, the Brazilian team's attack found the direction at once, and then threatened the Chinese team's goal many times.
Now that Brazil are finally back on track, all they need is encouragement and convince them that they can do everything in the second half.
When the second half was about to start, Chen Long also encouraged his teammates in the locker room: "Come on, there are still forty-five minutes, the Brazilian team will definitely fight back desperately in the second half, as long as we can withstand their attacks, we will get a lot of counterattack opportunities, of course, we need to pay more attention to one point in the second half, that is, to maintain absolute calm, because for now, we are the upstarts in football, and the opponent is the old powerhouse, often the upstart challenges the team, and the team will get "special care", It's the 'unspoken rule' of football, so no matter what happens, we have to stay calm............"
