Chapter 303: The Triumph of Justice
When the whistle blew at halftime, although the Japanese fans in the Sendai World Cup stadium were still cheering, it was quite obvious that the interest of the Japanese team players was obviously not high, their faces were gloomy, and everyone, including head coach Troussier, went straight back to the locker room without saying a word.

In contrast, the performance of the Chinese team players is much more arrogant, and the players are not only in good spirits, but also have a lot more communication, although the communication in their mouths is more about scolding the "shamelessness" of the Japanese.
"I'll go to the referee to discuss, what do you think?"
Yang Cheng, who plays for Frankfurt and knows a little German, has been sitting on the bench, but he is still thinking about how to help the team when head coach Horton is sent off, and he plans to find the German referee to discuss the issue of "scale" of the penalty, but considering that Liu Han is now the captain, it is better to ask Liu Han first.
"Brother Yang, forget it, it is estimated that it is useless for anyone to go, I think it is possible that the Japanese have done more than just the Japanese, and it is in vain to say anything now."
Liu Han stopped Yang Cheng's plan, in Liu Han's opinion, the Japanese dare to do so blatantly must be prepared, the Japanese team in the group stage is more "normal" in the game, perhaps considering that the opponent is not an Asian team, but now the first half of the game alone can make all the long-eyed people understand the situation of the game, and it is so obvious that there must be someone in FIFA and the Referees Federation to help.
Back in the locker room, the mood of the Chinese team players was depressed with the departure of Horton, although the Chinese team players withstood the pressure in the first half and equalized the score under Liu Han's brave play, but the situation is still unfavorable for the Chinese team, the back line has a big general with a yellow card, and the head coach is also expelled from the game with a red card, which is very bad news for any team.
"Liu, when Bobby left, he arranged for you to command the second half of the game, and he believes that you will be able to lead the team to advance."
As soon as the players sat down, Horton's British assistant coach Ralph said to Liu Han that although Ralph was a little uncomfortable with Horton's arrangement, he was still convinced by Liu Han's tactical ability and prestige among the players.
"Thank you, Ralph."
Liu Han's gratitude was full of sincerity, and he was very touched by Horton's trust in him.
"Everyone hurry up and rest, we still need to fight hard in the second half." Since Liu Han took over the important responsibility, he directly made arrangements.
"In the second half, we still have to make a fuss in the midfield, the Japanese team's attack basically relies on the midfield to launch, their forward scoring ability is very poor, and there will not be much threat, so as long as their midfield is stuck, we can basically win this game smoothly."
"The people in the midfield must pay attention to the defensive action when defending, we would rather be attacked into the penalty area by the opponent than get a card, the current situation can also be seen by everyone, there are twelve people on the opposite side of the field, and one is the referee, so we can't face a situation of ten to twelve or even nine to twelve."
"Wing Lao Wu (Wu Chengying) you rest in the second half, we can't play the lineup of three defenders, Lao Wei (Wei skirt) you play left back in the second half, just pay attention to defense, Xiaorui on the left side pay more attention, I will run more in the second half, you have to actively respond."
Liu Han's series of arrangements were explained in the convincing eyes of everyone, for Liu Han's arrangement, no one in the team will refuse to implement, everyone knows very well who can get to the present, the game has been played until now, even if this is eliminated, everyone is still a hero after returning to China, but if you want to continue, you have to obey Liu Han's leadership.
Compared with the more calm atmosphere of the Chinese team, the home team's locker room is much quieter, Trussier did not say a word with a gloomy face, he was not satisfied with the team's performance in addition to a little shame, although no one said it in front of him, but through the first half of the game Troussier already knew the general arrangement of the Japanese Football Association, this blatant partiality stained the purity in his heart stained black.
"Inamoto-kun, Liu Sang's threat is too great, we have to do something in the second half."
The head coach didn't speak, but Shinji Ono, who was sitting next to Junichi Inamoto, said to Junichi Inamoto.
"I know, but we can't do too much, Liu Sang has too many supporters around the world, if we do too much, we will be treated as outcasts, look at the Koreans, they are now about to cause public outrage, we can't become a second South Korea."
"But as long as we advance to the next round, we will become the heroes of Japan, and it will be difficult for the people to be satisfied in the round of 16, and if South Korea advances to the quarterfinals, then we will also become a laughing stock."
"Don't say it again, do your job well, and leave the task of defending Liu to me."
Junichi Inamoto is actually a rather conceited person, he thinks that he is the best player in Japan and even Asia, he thinks in his heart to press Liu Han with his strength, but there is actually some darkness in his heart.
"Don't talk casually, listen to Mr. Coach's arrangement." Although the communication between Junichi Inamoto and Shinji Ono was quiet, it was heard by Hidetoshi Nakata, who is now the first person in Japanese football and has great prestige among the players. However, Nakata Hidetoshi plays in Europe after all, he knows very well how famous Liu Han is in Europe, if they dare to black foot Liu Han in this game, it is estimated that the first to stand up will not be the Chinese Football Association, but Real Madrid Club, Real Madrid will regard Liu Han as the future banner of the team.
"I don't want to say much about the game, you can just do what you have to do on the pitch, but I have one last word to warn you that I hope it will help you in your future career, remember, gentlemen, football is not just football, but football is just football."
Trussier spoke at the end of halftime, his words full of exhaustion and a hint of farewell.
After the break, the two sides returned to the field, and the Japanese players were in mixed moods, while the Chinese players were full of fighting spirit.
After the German referee's whistle, the second half of the game continued, and the Chinese team kicked off first.
According to Liu Han's arrangement at halftime, the lineup of the Chinese team has become a more conventional 442 lineup, Liu Han directly rushed with the ball after receiving Hao Haixi's return pass, and the Japanese team immediately pressed Liu Han, but Liu Han did not stick to the ball here, but passed to Yangpu on the right side, and the formation of the Chinese team was completely expanded.
