Intermission, in the locker room of the Chinese Olympic team. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You think you're good? Do you think that if you were the champion last time, you must also be the champion this time? I don't know what qualifications we have to be proud of, if we put aside the influence of Liu, we are a third-rate team at best, and maybe even a third-rate team. ”
Horton generally reprimanded the young people of the national Olympic team, although the score of 2 to 1 was not too far behind, but the performance of the young people of the national Olympic team in the first 30 minutes of the first half was indeed very unsatisfactory.
"You can't win a game by talking about it, it's not something you can win by fighting for fame, you have to put your heart and soul into any game, focus on the game, focus on football, and not think about how to show yourself off in front of such a small audience."
Holden has been living in China for more than five years, and he has even brought his own family here, and there are even reports in the media that Holden is applying for a Chinese green card.
"Okay, everyone, cheer up, do a good job in the second half, my wife has entered the delivery room today, I don't want my son to be born and bring me a failure."
After Horton stopped reprimanding the players, Liu Han immediately comforted these young people, after all, they are not very old, and blindly high pressure may have the opposite effect.
"Brother Liu, really, haha, then congratulations, alas, I said that the big guys should work hard today, and strive to make our nephew a victory as soon as he arrives in this world."
Zheng Zhi's timely joke also made the atmosphere in the locker room warm up again, and the young people who were originally depressed now raised their heads.
Liu Han called the capital when he arrived at the stadium, and he also called the first time he returned to the locker room just now, but there was no news from the capital, saying that it had not come out yet, which couldn't help but make Liu Han a little worried.
After the break, the two sides returned to the pitch with no changes from the Chinese side, while Costa Rica switched to a two-back formation and looked like they were going to defend to the death.
The brother team showed their attitude after the kick-off, the team was more in their own half of the foot, easy not to attack at all, their plan is very clear, that is, to play defensive counterattack after the lead, the tactics used by the Chinese Olympic team in the last Olympic Games were used by others on the Chinese team this time.
Faced with such a situation, the players of the Chinese Olympic team had to move the defensive line forward, press the opponent's pass, and then find opportunities to control the ball before organizing the attack.
Although it seems to be passive, compared with the first 30 minutes of the first half, the current national Olympic team obviously has the backbone, their defense and running are no longer blind, but with a very clear purpose, even if they are passed by the opponent, they are not worried, because the players know that there must be someone behind them.
In the fifty-second minute of the game, Zheng Zhi, who had been staying in the midfield and backfield, suddenly grabbed the ball when the brother team passed.
Zheng Zhi's speed is not fast, but the timing of this grab is very accurate, and after the training of the Premier League, Zheng Zhi's physical confrontation ability has also improved tremendously, and the striker of the brother team, Ben Zheng Zhi, squeezed his shoulders and squeezed away.
Zheng Zhi, who successfully broke the ball, did not rush to pass the ball forward, but stabilized the ball and passed it to Liu Han behind his body.
The players of the brother team also showed a very positive performance, and directly counter-attacked on the spot after conceding the goal.
However, Liu Han calmly passed the ball back to Zheng Zhi again, a simple two-foot pass, but the Chinese team had already controlled the situation in the midfield.
After Zheng Zhi re-received the ball, the formation of the Chinese team suddenly moved, Liu Han did not stay in place, but directly stepped forward, and his running took away most of the defensive attention of the brother team.
This is Zheng Zhi's sudden diagonal long pass to the right side, and Yu Tao plugged it in at high speed on the right side.
Yu Tao, who received the ball at a 45-degree angle outside the big penalty area on the right side, stopped the ball without the slightest hesitation and crossed directly.
The defensive attention of the brother team was taken away by Liu Han, and at this time, there was only one person around Zhang Yuning to defend.
Zhang Yuning, who had his back to the goal, did not force a header to attack the goal, but gently pushed the ball to the front of the outside of the penalty area with a header.
Liu Han inserted the position just right, although there were still two players from the brother team around him, but Liu Han suddenly stopped in the rapid advancement, and then faced Zhang Yuning's return pass and volleyed directly with his right foot.
The ball went straight to the top left corner of the goal almost without a hint of spin, and the goalkeeper was helpless in the face of a shot of such speed, the ball was so fast that by the time he could react, the ball had already flown into the goal.
After the first 30 minutes of the first half, the Chinese Olympic team equalized at the beginning of the second half, and this goal also greatly damaged the morale of the team, because they did not show too many holes in the defense, and they were scored without temper.
After the equalizer, the Chinese team took the initiative, although the two sides were still on the same starting line, but the midfield out of control of the brother team had no way to organize an effective attack, and at the same time, the Chinese team that found its soul no longer made all kinds of unnecessary mistakes.
In the seventieth minute of the game, the Chinese team got another chance, after Cheng Tao got the ball in front, a spirited Cruyff turned around and got rid of the defender of the brother team directly, and then he tried to send a through ball, but the defense of the brother team did not give Cheng Tao a chance, and pulled Cheng Tao to the ground.
Liu Han walked to the penalty spot with the ball.
"Brother Liu, are you coming or am I coming?"
Cheng Tao didn't take the initiative to leave, he knew that Liu Han was not such a domineering person, and Liu Han would not refuse reasonable requests.
"I'll come, don't cover up, come openly, and give my son a gift, hehe."
"Okay, Brother Liu, come on, I'll go to their human wall and mix it up."
Hearing Liu Han's words, Cheng Tao knew that this ball was not far from ten, because they had all seen Liu Han's real free kick kung fu in training.
For Liu Han's direct free kick brother team, it can be said that he is facing a big enemy, and the human wall has been placed for a long time.
When the referee's whistle blew, Liu Han ran to the ball in just two steps, and hit the football with his right foot like a whip.
The ball slid through a perfect arc and fell straight into the upper right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper of the brother team was in a trance, because according to his judgment, the ball should have flown directly outside the gate.
However, the ball suddenly fell at the highest point and flew into the goal by grazing the crossbar.
3-2, the Chinese team overtook the score with 20 minutes left in the game.
After that, although the brother team organized several counterattacks, it was never able to break through the door of the Chinese team, and finally the Chinese Olympic team won the second victory in the group stage 3-2.
"Raw?"
As soon as he returned to the locker room, Liu Han immediately received a call from the capital.
"Haha, it's born, Da Liu, it's a kid, seven pounds and six taels."
"Haha, that's good, that's good......"
