The clock ticked to the 31st minute. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Costa Rican coach Pinto is now the most anxious man on the pitch.

Nearly 25 minutes have passed since the sixth minute, but the score on the big screen is still 0-1.

Although the head coach of the Chinese team may seem blind, the lineup is very neat, and the attack and defense are still in order - they have retreated almost all of them to the 35-meter area of their own side, and they have built four strong enough lines of defense with ten players, and it may be difficult for Costa Rica to shake their great wall of steel if they do not adopt a full-strength onslaught strategy.

But...... If Costa Rica were to rush up and attack, their wide backs would be pierced by the cunning Chinese team.

Pinto, who is based on defensive counter-attacking tactics, of course knows the intentions of the Chinese team, so he did not do it, no matter what the situation, he asks for at least three defenders to drag the last, and there is always someone to watch Qin Good's movements.

Therefore, Costa Rica's artillery fire could not threaten the goal of the Chinese team at all.

Most of their central attacks were defused by the Chinese team's midfielders one by one without even touching the penalty line; If they switch to the bottom of the wing, Sun Jihai and Rong Ritian's running ability is enough to make their wingers return in vain.

As for high ball crosses...... I'm sorry, but Costa Rica's striker Joel Campbell is at least half a head shorter than Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting, and in front of China's Ramos, he can't grab a header at 1.78m.

Among their frontcourt players, only the attacking core of 1.88m Ruiz can fight, but in the face of the average altitude of the Chinese team, this air power is not worth mentioning.

"During this period, Costa Rica had the upper hand in terms of the situation, they had as much as 60 per cent of the possession at one point, and it seemed that the attack was continuous, wave after wave, but if you look at it carefully, these attacks have rarely been able to reach our core area, and the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng has hardly been threatened."

Liu Jiayuan analyzed a few sentences unhurriedly, the rhythm of more than 20 minutes made his mood relax a lot, he turned his head to look at the guests next to him: "Zhang Zhi, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Lu also drank a cup of tea leisurely, and then coughed: "You are right, the game may not be as intense and beautiful as imagined, but this is the knockout round of the World Cup after all, and both sides are very cautious." Choosing to defend solidly with a one-goal lead is the most prudent tactical choice, and it can also save the players' physical energy, which is also very important for the Chinese team, which has poor physical reserves. ”

In fact, he didn't fully explain everything - defending and counter-attacking is not necessarily a physical saver, and if you are facing Barcelona, Dort, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, which are mainly attacking by constantly passing and running, blindly defending will definitely only make the players tired.

But it just so happens that Costa Rica is a team that is not good at positional attacks, and ...... Due to the existence of Qin Gude, even if they wanted to attack, they did not dare to exert all their strength to press on it. In the case of the opponent's foresight, some of the players of the Chinese team were indeed able to store a small amount of stamina.

For example, two full-backs.

Rong Ritian and Sun Jihai don't need to bother attacking, they can focus entirely on defense, and of course reduce their running.

For example, the centre-backs.

Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng's range of movement has been greatly reduced, and they can do most of their defensive tasks without leaving the front of the penalty area.

Even Qin Gude.

The Chinese captain can be called the most relaxed guy besides the goalkeeper.

In this game, Qin Goode did not sit in the middle, his position was left winger, or left winger.

But in the process of defending, the defensive work on the left side was handed over by him to Zhengyin striker Gao Feilin......

Qin Goode stood very leisurely near the center circle alone, watching six or seven Costa Rican players scratch their ears and cheeks around the ten players of the Chinese team, but they couldn't attack alive.

For 25 minutes, he didn't even run more than 1 kilometer, and in the fifth minute, the sweat oozing from his solo ride was already blown clean by the hot Brazilian wind......

"Don't relax!"

"Tougher one!"

"Kick the ball forward!"

The most physically demanding move of the Chinese captain, who was about to freeze down, during this period was to stand in place and shout twice at his teammates behind him.

But no one would envy him.

No one will be dissatisfied with his special treatment.

Capable ...... You're going to score goals by yourself, huh?

-

Standing near the centre circle with his back to the Costa Rican goal, Chingud's vision suddenly widened – at least much better than that of Lippi and the other coaches.

In this position, he was able to clearly observe the changes in the opponent's attack.

From which position do Costa Rica's players want to concentrate their firepower to launch the onslaught?

Where do they want to pass the ball?

Which player's movement suddenly changed?

Has the Chinese team's defense been loosened?

He has complete visibility and can shout to alert his teammates to respond.

During this time, his voice echoed throughout the halfway of the New Water Source Arena.

When Zhang Linpeng was a little dazed under the repeated impact of Campbell and Ruiz, a loud roar suddenly came from not far away.

"Zhang Linpeng! Stick to him! ”

When Zhao Xuyang was about to follow Borges to the side, he didn't notice that a figure was staring behind him, but Qin Gude's immediate reminder made him tremble immediately.

"Zhao Xuyang! Don't let the other person lead you out of the way! ”

When goalkeeper Zeng Cheng couldn't help but take two steps forward, he was startled back by a loud roar that crossed half the field.

"Zeng Cheng, give me a retreat!"

"Gao Feilin! Watch out for the left side of the defense! ”

"What about the people on the right? Uncle Hai, what are you doing?! ”

Even Sun Jihai, who has the most ball-bearing temperament, was reminded by him three times, and he crossed a distance of nearly 50 meters.

Shao Jiayi, who was closest to Qin Good, was about to take a breath, but he didn't expect a thunderbolt to explode in his ears.

"Shao Jiayi, don't look around! Go back and help Zheng Zhi defend the high ball! ”

In order to ensure that these teammates could hear their voices in the noisy court, Qin Gude almost exhausted the power of the dantian, so when the game came to the 45th minute, his voice was already a little hoarse, and even the muscles in his chest and abdomen were a little painful.

Qin Gude discovered ...... for the first time Talking is more tiring than playing football.

He began to admire Ferguson and Jurgen Klopp, especially the retired old man, the old Scottish man in his seventies, and still able to use his voice to shock every player on the field, the job of a football coach is indeed not for everyone.

After 40 minutes of attacking, even if the Costa Rican frontcourt players had nuclear power plants on their chests, their legs were a little weak.

Dias's pass was not kicked in the right part, and the ball that was supposed to be hanging behind Sun Jihai was passed to Feng Xiaoting's head.

The Chinese defender leaped high and effortlessly pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Zhao Xuyang did not turn around, but swept the ball to left wing-back Rong Ritian.

Rong Ritian launched a diagonal plug with the arch of his foot!

The football rubbed the turf and found Shao Jiayi 20 meters away.

Stop the ball with your head down, look up and watch, and swing your legs again!

Shao Jiayi hit the football with his left foot!

A huge arc crosses the sky!

A red figure starts from the middle circle!

Costa Rica coach Pinto kicked the mineral water in front of him away!
