In the locker room of the Chinese team, Lippi sat in front of the tactical board.

Lippi said to the players of the Chinese team: "This is the main match of the Asian Cup, there is no comparison with the warm-up match, and our opponents are not weak, I think you all know this very well, now I want to say that our tactics are to defend and counterattack!" ”

Lippi has said these things many times in his previous training and preparations, but here, he still emphasized it again, which shows that he cares about this very much.

Lippi continued: "When defending, we have to pay attention to the position of our teammates, we have to be consistent, we have to maintain a good formation, the distance between the two people must not be too large, give the opponent an easy chance, you know? ”

The players of the Chinese team immediately nodded their heads, indicating that they already knew.

Lippi continued: "When you are still defending, you must pay attention to the two people in the Qatar team, one is Haydos and the other is Ali, I think for these two people, you are also very clear, you must defend them, don't give them a chance. ”

The players of the Chinese team naturally know Haydos and Ali.

Haydos has been famous for a long time, his strength is very good, he was the top scorer in the Gulf Cup, and at the same time, in the 2018 global scorer ranking released by the International Football Data Association, Haydos was as high as the third place, which shows his strength.

Needless to say, Ali is the best young player in the Gulf Cup, and his goalscoring ability is also very good, and these two are definitely the source of Qatar's attack.

The players of the Chinese team will naturally not let these two guys go, and the Chinese team must keep an eye on these two guys.

Lippi continued: "When we counterattack, we try to go to the ground, pass the ball up, try to minimise our own individual breakthroughs, pass the ball down, cooperate and counterattack in a group attack mode, do you hear me? ”

Before the game, Lippi said in front of reporters and media that their tactics in this game will be to focus on high-altitude balls, using the advantage of headers to solve opponents in the air.

However, it is clear that Lippi now has a different set of tactics.

In fact, after Lippi took over the Chinese team, he has always adhered to the ground offensive style of play.

The players of the Chinese team immediately nodded their heads, indicating that they were already clear.

Lippi suddenly looked up at Jiang Chen again and said, "The target of our counterattack is very clear-Chen!" In the final link of the counterattack, I don't limit you to just walking on the ground, whatever way is appropriate, you know? ”

Jiang Chen's header ability and impact are very strong, and Lippi naturally will not give up any of Jiang Chen's advantages, so he made such an arrangement.

Jiang Chen and the players of the Chinese team immediately stood up and said loudly: "Got it, coach!" ”

Lippi was satisfied, then stood up, waved his big hand, and said: "Boys, let's go for victory!" ”

The players of the Chinese team rushed out of the locker room and into the players' tunnel.

On the other hand, in the dressing room of Qatar, Qatar's head coach Sanchez is writing and drawing on the tactical board.

Then, Sanchez turned to his players and said: "Remember, we have only one goal in this game, and that is to win. In order to win, our tactics were to attack, to attack from the first second of the game. ”

In the locker room, Sanchez did not show weakness in front of media reporters, and it is obvious that the current Sanchez does not take the Chinese men's football team seriously.

Sanchez said: "The strength of the Chinese team, in fact, is not very strong, we have played with them so many times, we have a clear understanding of them, their strength may be some, Asian quasi-second-rate level, but their psychological quality, absolutely amateur level." ”

Sanchez continued: "That's why they had a good result in the warm-up and then it completely collapsed when they got to the tournament. And there's a lot of pressure on the Chinese players, which affects their performance, so that's our chance. ”

Sanchez said: "So, the Chinese team is actually not so difficult to deal with, as long as we show our strength, it should not be difficult to win the Chinese team, I hope you can show your strength." ”

The Qatari players immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, coach, we will definitely make the Chinese look good!" ”

After thinking for a while, Sanchez continued: "However, you still have to pay attention, pay attention to the defense, the Chinese team is not useless, especially for Jiang Chen's defense, this point must be given to him, and he must not be given any chance, you know?" ”

The players in Qatar all know how powerful Jiang Chen is, and they don't dare to underestimate Jiang Chen, especially the Qatari defensive players, who nodded with serious faces.

Sanchez saw that his players nodded in understanding, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he raised his hand and motioned for the Qatari players to play, and the Qatari players rushed out of the locker room and rushed into the players' tunnel.

When the Qatari players rushed to the players' tunnel, the players of the Chinese team were already standing somewhere, waiting for the game to start.

At this time, Jiang Chen of the Chinese team was chatting with the referee of the game.

At this time, the referee of the game looked at his watch, and he immediately said to Jiang Chen: "Go back and prepare, we are about to play, and the game is about to start." ”

Jiang Chen nodded immediately, then returned to his team, signaling the players of the Chinese team to stand in position, and the game was about to start.

"Okay, the players on both sides are ready to play, and now at this time, let's introduce you to the starting lists of both sides for this game." He Wei, the commentator of CCTV No. 5, said.

"First of all, let me introduce you to the starting list of the Qatar team today."

Xu Yang, the commentator of CCTV 5, said: "Today, Qatar sent a 4231 formation, and the goalkeeper is Desa. ”

'In the back four, it's Almahdi, Salim, Boudiaf and Mohammed. Xu Yang, a commentator on CCTV 5, said: "This is the starting backline of the Qatar team. ”

'In the midfield position, it's Obidi and Bassam. Xu Yang, the commentator of CCTV 5, said: "In the position of the three forwards, Ali, Haydos and Akram are Ali. ”

"Interesting, today is a bit unexpected, Ali and Haydos did not appear on the front line, but appeared on the forward line, of course, Haydos can understand, he used to play in the position of the forward midfield, and today his position is likely to be a shadow striker."
