Chapter 105: My 442 Is Stronger! (2-in-1)

Xiao Zhi, who missed in the process this time, also played a certain role, although he did not show his courage in the third round of the group stage after a break, most of the time it seemed to be invisible, but the fulcrum effect was extremely strong, so that once there was an opportunity, the rapid impact effect of the Chinese team was particularly obvious.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who watched Lu Zhuhu rush to his teammates in celebration from a distance, was also a little helpless, and he was very familiar with the distant back of a peerless horse, because this Chinese guy had sent him such assists many times in the past.

After working for most of the game, all the dirty work has been done, but the team still can't convert the momentum into scoring, and it is the former little brother who helps the opponent score, how can it not make people feel complicated! - No matter how good the relationship with the younger brother is.

The referee didn't give Portugal much time after the restart, Portugal advanced quickly on the left, and the low ball to the penalty area was cleared by Yu Yang to end the first half of the game.

The Chinese fans stood in the stands, as if they had won ahead of schedule, and in stark contrast to the silence of the Portuguese fans next door. Lu Zhuhu and Ronaldo walked into the players' tunnel side by side, and from the moment the whistle sounded, the two immediately stopped their tension and whispered all the way, and many people were also curious about what the two were talking about.

The Chinese fans in the dreary half raised their eyebrows at the end, naturally full of energy, and kept chatting about the goal in the final period. In a trance, more than one person felt that the cooperation that the Chinese team had just played reminded people of the time when Chinese football was just becoming professional, and many similar goals could be found at that time.

Although Elennow's father and daughter also felt good about not seeing the 0-0 at half-time, they couldn't quite understand why the Chinese fans chatting seemed to be able to go back 5,000 years from a single ball.

At halftime, commentators from all sides also began to review the situation of the first half, and the basic opinion was that Lippi's "442" of the Chinese team suppressed Santos Portugal's "442", and the coach took the lead in the encounter.

Moreover, the 442 of the Chinese team is different from the third round of the group, which is an obvious "one high and one fast" routine.

In the nineties of the last century, the 442 formation was very popular in world football, and the "2" at the front of the front line used many teams to use the forward line composed of "one high and one fast", and many classic forward combinations were born. The two strikers have completely different characteristics, but they complement each other and serve each other. As one of the high points, the high striker has the opportunity to head the goal, but if it is not a super striker, most of the time it is for that fast service, one high and one fast classic has the combination of England Husky and Owen, the club also has Real Madrid's Morientes Galauer, Barcelona's Kluivert Gaviola, Monaco's Trezeguet and Henry......

At that time, in Chinese football, such a combination was also very popular, Su Maozhen and Tang Xiaocheng of the Shandong team in the early days, and later the golden partner of Dalian Wanda Xiao Wang Tao and Hao Cannon. In the national team, Li Bing, high school strikers such as Xie Hui and Zhang Yuning are often paired with fast horses such as Hao Haidong, Gao Feng and Yang Chen. Later, some fans joked that these are not the best combinations, and the national football team should send a forward combination like Yao Ming and Liu Xiang to ensure that the world is invincible......

The world is changing, and the formation of the football field is constantly changing, and in order to strengthen the midfield, only one striker is needed up front, and sometimes some teams will have no striker. The two-striker tactic of one high and one fast is no longer the mainstream in the football field, and there are fewer and fewer teams using this style of play now - after all, if it weren't for the recovery in the past few years, 442 would not be used by many teams.

The Portuguese team has often used 442 in recent years, although coach Santos has used the 442 formation in recent games, but the effect is not ideal, the offensive end shows a blunt coordination and lack of penetration, although they are also encouraged to use the 433 offensive formation, but it is undoubtedly harmful to this Portugal - 433 for the current Portugal The ability to grasp the opportunity is not high enough, and the scoring points are scarce and can even be said to be only Ronaldo, which is a dead end.

Just when Portugal was already at a loss for the future, Guedes came to the stadium as a savior in the last game, which rekindled Santos's hope of 442, and the team's promotion naturally depends on the performance of superstars, one Ronaldo is not enough, and now there is finally a star of hope, so Santos's tactics in this game are more resolute, focusing on Guedes and Ronaldo's attacking power, the team's overall offensive system revolves around it, and more personnel are placed in the midfield to scramble and deliver shells- Even Ronaldo deigned to build a turret for his younger brother.

However, through the comparison with the Chinese team, it is not difficult to see the limitations of such a bet on Guedes, the attacking combination composed of Cristiano Ronaldo and Guedes did not show a strong threat, and also lacked sufficient backup support, and often saw them fall into the disadvantage of fighting alone.

We all know that Portugal's overall cooperation needs to be improved, but is there time for you to improve now?

The superstar players have also failed to go against the sky, and the current situation can be imagined.

At the end of the first half, the players themselves had some self-adjustments, that is, they no longer blindly passed all the ball to Guedes, but did it themselves, which made the position of the lone ball king very awkward, and also contrary to the arrangement of the manager before the game.

On the other hand, the Chinese team is much simpler and more straightforward, with no half-hearted performance at all, and has always implemented a strategy to the end. Through the tacit cooperation between Yu Yang and Zhang Linpeng, with extremely high hardness for defense and interception, the Chinese team locked the middle defense line very well, after breaking the ball, the core idea is to seek speed, ruthlessness, and impact! Then use the second premise to get a shot open in the high post!

Is the effect of rapid impact really noticeable? Then it is more assured to be bold, more determined and resolute to rush! This can also force the Portuguese defense line to carry out high-intensity chase, and if you count the ages of Master Pei and Wundt, who are nearly eighty years old, you will know that even if the Chinese team is not successful in counterattacking, just running around with these two classic cars can make them tired enough!

In this case, the midfielders of the Portuguese team did not dare to carry out too many premises when the Chinese team had strong impact ability because of the lack of sufficient athleticism.

Almost all three lines of the European championship are subject to various constraints, and even if the cards still make people believe that they are better than the Chinese team, how can they show it! Once stabbed in such a plot, the wound will drip blood for a long time...... If this continues, it is conceivable that it will fall into the same passive situation as it did against another weak team, Iran, in the final round of the group stage.

Brother Da Long used to make a big fuss on the forum, believing that a good manager has a greater impact on the game than the players themselves - and now he can prove his point with actual performances.

Can Brother Da Long's half-baked level really be said to be an excellent coach? Grades can be said to be. But if you want to compare him with the previous coaches of the national football team, the points that are not as good as others are everywhere. But Brother Da Long is as good as he is, although his style, formation, and staffing are changing in almost every game, the definite style of play must be implemented at least this one, and he will not overturn his ideas at every turn. If you want to say that the strategy of this game is not his originality, look at how the "old friend" Queiroz led Iran to play Portugal, and you can also learn a thing or two.

In the locker room, Da Long was once again in high spirits, apparently aware that the media around the world were now praising him for his superiority over Santos. Although it is not uncommon for Lippi to beat Santos, he is naturally very proud that he can win the European championship as a ticket player.

However, Brother Da Long also has the same question as the outside world, that is, what Lu Zhuhu just said to Ronaldo. After encouraging the players to continue the performance of the first half and carry out the coach's intention to the end to win the victory, Da Long called Lu Zhuhu aside.

"Oh, it's nothing, the president said that when the holiday is over, I will go to his house to eat boiled chicken breast......" Lu Zhuhu said straight.

"......" Brother Da Long was speechless: "I will believe you!" His team is going home, and at this time he still has a mind to eat chicken! ”

However, the stalk of boiled chicken breast is indeed very well-known, saying that former teammate Evra once warned the players not to go to Ronaldo's house for dinner!

"If Cristiano Ronaldo invites you to lunch at home, then I suggest you turn him down."

Patrice Evra said at the time that when he was at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo invited him to a post-training dinner party, and when he went to his house, he was obviously exhausted, but the table was only salad and boiled chicken breast. Not even juice, just water.

Originally, I thought there would be other meats, but in order to maintain my body fat percentage, the president wouldn't eat it at all......

"As soon as Ronaldo finished eating, he started playing and practising his skills. He asked me to practice together, and I asked him if he could let me finish my meal. He said let's play football and practice our skills......"

And then ...... We started practicing......"

In addition to Evra, there are many people who have the idea of eating a big meal and go to the president's house to eat deflated, as a comparison, Boss Mei often holds Argentine barbecue events. Of course, Lu Zhuhu may be the exception among these people, because he also thinks that chicken breast is actually quite good, and the EU standards are not afraid of bird flu, and it is even more difficult to practice ball, and it is boring to practice alone at home......

Fortunately for Patrice Bievra, he was tired of practicing football, and Lu Zhuhu would go to practice table tennis with the president for a while...... Alternately.

Seeing Brother Da Long glaring at him, Lu Zhuhu sighed: "I just told him...... You've got Guedes a bit of a problem, so it's better not to let him play in the second half......"

Brother Da Long was stunned: "Why did you tell him all the secrets of our concentration camp?" ”

I know that the two of you eat chicken breast together and practice table tennis together, and have a good relationship, but this kind of thing can be told to outsiders except for you, my brother and your wife?

"No, no, Comrade Gao Yu, I still won't expose it to him, I'm just kindly reminding you that the state of the Geqiu King is really difficult to take on the big responsibility......

is so bad that the opponent has some sympathy, and the king of the ball is indeed enough to carry it......

"If that's all it takes, it doesn't seem to be a big deal - Santos and Ronaldo aren't blind, can they see that guy can't help him, the problem is that they may still have illusions." Brother Da Long said calmly.

Lu Zhuhu wanted to complain about Santos, maybe he really couldn't see that Guedes was not good, but in the end he held back.

"I know that you have a good relationship with Master Pei and they don't want to pit them, but you have to see that without our shot, Portugal was eliminated in the last game. So far in this game, I have only played a 'jade-faced flying dragon' Zhang Yuning, replaced by Xiao Zhi - he didn't kick the ball in, and he didn't use other people in the concentration camp, Gao Taiwei was also hidden in the snow, he was tolerant enough to Portugal, don't have a psychological burden, after going in the second half, do it hard! ”

As long as you have the slightest mercy, President Luo will dare to kill you mercilessly......

After returning from the second half, the Chinese team and the Portuguese team did not make substitution adjustments, and it can be seen that the Chinese team is very satisfied with the team's performance in the half, while the Portuguese team has not given up the luxury of Guedes - Lu Zhuhu is right, this point is indeed the president and the Portuguese team suffered.

In the 46th minute, Park Cheng passed the ball behind him in front of the penalty area, and Lu Zhuhu inserted into the penalty area with the intention of shooting, but was blocked by the Portuguese team Pei Master.

In the 48th minute, Portugal counterattacked quickly on the left, and Ronaldo's low ball seemed to be passed and shot, but it was cleared by Zhang Chengdong in the penalty area.

In the 50th minute, Grace, who had been silent for a long time, reappeared, shaking continuously in front of the Chinese team's penalty area, seeing the climax of the Portuguese fans, thinking that the king of the ball finally began to exert his power, but he did not shake off Zhang Linpeng's angle, and shot hard, and the ball was high above the crossbar.

Although it was unsuccessful, it seems that even Santos has some spirit, thinking that there is still hope, applauding his love again and again, encouraging him to play more resolutely, like the last game. Lu Zhuhu, who knew the inside story, could only sigh that the other party was going farther and farther on the wrong road......

In the 52nd minute, Zhang Linpeng fouled on the left side of the penalty area, and Ronaldo took a free kick again, not directly attacking the goal, but went to the penalty area to find teammates, and was defused by Yan Junlin.

In the 55th minute, the Chinese team won the ball on the right side, Lu Zhuhu passed the ball to the back point in the middle of the march, the Portuguese defender rose to the top, and knocked back to the goal with a beautiful header near the bottom line, but Xiao Zhi did not keep up with the outflanking shot, and missed another great opportunity to score. This made Lu Zhuhu, who was already ready to celebrate the second goal on the periphery, particularly speechless......

Brother Da Long is talking to himself about "Jade-faced Flying Dragon", are you afraid that Da Zhang Yuning and Xiao Zhang Yuning are confused......

Even if it is the current Zhang Yuning, I am afraid it will not be so unreliable......

But there is no way, although the handsome and dashing Zhang Yuning was a player with strong self-confidence, strong body, superb marksmanship, and was a natural shooter when he was a player, he always felt not very involved on the field, with a small range of activities and an unstable state.

It seems that Zhang Yuning, who is not in the state, is criticized as Brother Dalong's failure......

However, the slap in the face came very quickly, in the 59th minute, the captain of the Chinese Army passed the ball to the penalty area, "Xiao Zhi" burst into the penalty area to shake off the two Portuguese "old" defenders, Master Pei tried to pick up the yin but failed to pick it up, and watched the opponent shoot hard, but the ball was slightly off the right post, shocking the Portuguese team in a cold sweat.

If it goes on like this, before the king of the ball is in shape, Portugal will burp. In desperation, Ronaldo began to enter the penalty area to grab points, and the Portuguese team began to constantly cross on the wing.
