41. China's only big thick legs
"I'm in a big groove! Two to zero?!"
In China, many pseudo-fans who have just woken up and turned on the TV are startled by the score on their own screens. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was supposed to be a Saturday morning, and many people habitually slept in, but an irrepressible force pulled them out of bed and sat them down at six o'clock by the television.
When they rubbed their eyes and looked at the score again, there was no trace of sleepiness on their faces.
Luo Guangming was also one of them, he wiped his face with cold water, and by the way, he took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, and he didn't look for any bottle opener, just pulled each other one by one, and after a soft "bang", two white smoke rose from the mouth of the bottle.
"Son, give!" Without the slightest sense of caring for minors, he pushed one of the bottles to his fourteen-year-old son, who was sitting on the sofa watching the game.
Luo Feng couldn't help but glared at his father, and Luo Guangming grinned embarrassedly: "I was wrong, watch the ball, watch the ball...... Wu Lei's stopping level is really bad! Son, I think you're better than him with the ball right now! ”
"Ordinary training and official matches are not the same feeling at all......," the boy muttered, fiddling with the ball at his feet, "Besides, this is the World Cup!" ”
Under the command of head coach Ramusi, with Drogba, Gervinho, Kalou and Yaya Toure as the main players, the African elephants launched a furious attack on the Chinese team's penalty area!
Didier Drogba's unrivalled impact, Gervinho's skill and pace, Kalou's delicate dribbling and explosiveness, Yaya Toure's strong body and back-row insertion, Aurier's cross from the right...... Let all Chinese players be like big enemies.
Even Qin Goode withdrew to join the defense, and he defended against the right wing-back Aurier, who was opposite him.
That's exactly what Lippi laid out: just blocking the right wing-back's cross would cost the two Ivory Coast strikers half of their power.
Yu Hai, the original starting left midfielder of the Chinese team, was obviously inferior to Qin Goode in defense, so Lippi made such a fine-tuning in the starting lineup, and he used his most powerful trump card to contain the opponent's side crosses!
Of course, Qin Good's strength is not only reflected in the defense, his unparalleled offensive ability is the real weapon to deter the opponent, when there is such a super killer on the left side who can create a threat anytime and anywhere, and he has scored twice in 15 minutes, no one will be assured to boldly attack forward.
But despite this, Lippi couldn't help but stand out from the coach's bench and watch the situation on the field with great nervousness.
Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting carried Drogba with two fights and one death, Rong Ritian single-handedly defended Gervinho, Sun Jihai watched Kalu, Artemisia Jun assisted in the defense, and Yaya Toure was always accompanied by Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuyang, barely fighting with Ivory Coast.
Fortunately, the two back midfielders of Ivory Coast basically do not have the ability to shoot from a distance, and the crossing ability of the left wing-back is not as reliable as that of Olier on the right, otherwise the Chinese team's defense is likely to fall into a situation of taking care of one and the other.
But Rao was like this, and Lippi, who was standing on the sidelines, was also sweating profusely, his long silver hair was soaked with sweat and clinging to his forehead, and his white short-sleeved shirt also showed large sweat stains.
From 16 minutes into the end of the first half, Ivory Coast's attack continued unabated, and Lippi never returned to his seat, with his Italian coaching staff almost entirely at his side.
When the referee finally blew the half-time whistle, everyone took a long breath.
"The suffocating first half is finally over! We can finally take a break and stop to catch our breath. ”
Duan Yixuan was no exception, he moved the seat slightly, but found that his floral pants were also soaked with sweat.
Zhang Lu, who is in his early sixties, has drunk three bottles of mineral water in a row, but sweat still flows unstoppably down his cheeks.
The youngest, He Wei, was still lamenting the change in the first half: "In terms of possession, we basically controlled the game in the first 20 minutes, but after the Ivory Coast attacked aggressively, the game dragged into their rhythm. I have to admire, the physical fitness of African players is too strong, the 36-year-old Drogba can still participate in the attack energetically after 45 minutes of entanglement with Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting, Yaya Toure is also active, he can attack, retreat and defend, he can often break into the penalty area with the ball when attacking, and can also retreat to near the last line of defense when defending, his figure is almost everywhere, and Chinese players are often tired to cope with everywhere he goes......
"Although we are leading by two goals, there are still 45 minutes left in the game," Zhang Lu wiped the sweat from his face and sat back in his chair, "Lippi must make adjustments, otherwise if such a fast pace is maintained, the first physical problem in the second half must be the Chinese team." ”
Those fans and spectators who were originally satisfied with 2-0 suddenly felt bad: the physical fitness of the Chinese team was originally a short board, not to mention that the opponent was a black and hard African elephant, after frequent round-trip sprints and physical confrontations, the physical strength of the Chinese team will be consumed more quickly, and the physical fitness that could support 75 minutes may be alarmed in less than 60 minutes......
"Brother Yi, the purpose of your passing is too obvious, you need to add some variety."
In the locker room of the Chinese team, Li Tieren was conveying the head coach's instructions to Shao Jiayi.
"You almost just have to get the ball and it goes straight to Goode, it's easy to see through......"
Shao Jiayi nodded with a wry smile, of course he knew that he had broken the ball for Ivory Coast at least three times in the first half, and each time he was easily counterattacked.
But...... Can I be blamed for this?
Look at Rong Ritian, Zhao Xuyang, Feng Xiaoting, and Zheng Zhi, what is the difference between them and me?
Aren't they eager to pass it directly to Qin Gude as soon as the ball is at their feet?
It is not passed on to Qin Gude...... Is it passed on to Wu Lei?
Lippi suddenly stood up, he walked to the tactical board, moved the two magnets symbolizing the players, and then read out three names: "Wu, Goode, Shao......"
His hand gestured between these positions, and no translation was needed, and everyone immediately understood what he meant.
Rotation and running should be strengthened.
Lippi finally understood one thing: in this national team, the striker may be the most non-existent position, and in the entire first half, Wu Lei's chances to touch the ball were only a handful, and the only big opportunity was to stop him with one foot......
Anyway...... On the stage of the World Cup, whether it is Gao Feilin, Yang Xuri or Wu Lei, it is unlikely that they will score.
Instead of pinning your hopes on these strikers who can't score 15 goals in a season in the Chinese Super League, it's better to hug your thighs!
