Chapter 146: Be a Prisoner of the Return
In the process that has been completed in the first half, the French team has far fewer shots than the Chinese team, and has been defending, and the Chinese team has been attacking, but the results achieved by both sides are quite amazing.
France took a two-goal lead so comfortably.
It's just that the first goal was an own goal and the second goal was a penalty.
The strategy of the Chinese team in the previous game is to retreat the midfielders who can control the ball to the periphery, control the ball in the middle circle, let Zheng Jiliang and Lu Zhuhu two people step forward to assist, and push the two wingers to the ribs to make a fuss, Liang Rongzhao sometimes undertakes the task of interception -
In fact, when attacking, it is the 235 formation that these players are most familiar with.
The offensive effect is definitely there - there are 5 strikers, how can the offensive scene be bad?
The fans of the Chinese team were excited to see the start so open, but in ancient times, football was played like this, why did everyone abandon that set later?
It's not that it's outdated.
It can be seen from the formation alone that the side effect of the lively attack is that the front fullbacks Zheng Jiliang and Lu Zhuhu are not easy to protect behind them, and the team also has consideration for this, that is, Liang Rongzhao stepped forward to protect Lu Zhuhu's back, drawing on Rakitic's experience in Barcelona, and coordinating all the way by a player with large defensive coverage.
But Zheng Jiliang's side was very miserable, as soon as he left, the defense faced a talented player like Mbappe who was at the peak of his physical condition, and the gods couldn't save the central defender who was dragging at the end!
Judging from the previous wins, the score of the French team is not big, and it looks like it basically won by one goal, but why is it still recognized that the French team is the strongest?
Without him, the French team is really strong, but it is just a relatively obscene game.
They were still in a 4-3-3 formation, but the overall focus was on central midfield, with the formation often switching to 5-4-1 – with Matuidi dropping back deep to maintain a parallel position to the defence, with the intention of bringing the full-backs out to protect the ribs. And Mbappe and Griezmann also have to adduct and assist in defense, only Giroud is in front as a single arrow, which is why Mbappe and Griezmann have repeatedly appeared in the defensive camera.
In the opening stages, both teams were testing each other. The French team showed a posture of restricting their own half to organize the defense, and played a quick counterattack through the Chinese team's passing errors and their own grabbing. On the surface, it seems that the Chinese team is in control of the situation, but for the sake of this "advantage" on the surface, it is facing full danger, and the slightest carelessness will quickly put it at a disadvantage.
This is the top matchup of the World Cup, similar to the victory and defeat of the master in an instant.
In the 18th minute, Lu Zhuhu accidentally scored an oolong when defending, which was an accident for the Chinese team, but the reason for the in-depth investigation is also a reflection of France's strength - there are not many offensive opportunities, but they can quickly hit the hinterland of the Chinese team, and the 36-year-old internationals know that the speed is not as good as Mbappe's young talents, so they can only stop the opponent with a decisive foul in the dangerous area, even if they know that this is an opportunity to give the opponent a set-piece.
Coupled with the second surprise of the penalty, it seems that the Chinese team has frequent surprises, but the fact is that the "advantageous situation" obtained by the Chinese team by piling up offensive players is not stable. In the opening stage, the French team deliberately reduced the possession, although it looked cowardly, on the one hand, it saved physical strength to counterattack, and on the other hand, it was also the premise of attracting the Chinese team's formation, so that Mbappe could find the weak side of the defense and prepare for a counterattack.
After losing to the real old man Lippi in the last on-the-spot layout, the steady and steady Deschamps learned to be obedient this time, and would rather be angrily denounced as "conservative" and "obscene" than the so-called field advantage.
"Wait, when the physical fitness of the Chinese declines, our advantage will be greater." Didier Deschamps stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, having no doubts that the game was completely in his hands.
The French fans sang the praises of the home team, from Antoine Griezmann who scored the penalty to captain Lloris who defended the goal, and of course, Pogba, who was the pivot of the French team's attack and defence, was in excellent form and was able to guide the French team on the counter-attack quickly.
The wandering Monsieur Pierre danced to the rhythm of the music and danced the "ghost step", telling him that it was not the time to open champagne, but it did not prevent him from pouring a glass of red wine and paying tribute to the soldiers of the national team.
Uncle Zhao Yuanchao, the nominal assistant coach of the Chinese team, couldn't sit still, and he asked the "head coach" what he meant: "Do you want to make adjustments now?" ”
"Or are you going to replace all the players with Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai, and Gao Yu in the halftime time?"
Ning Xiaolong didn't show much on his face, but he was constantly thinking about it in his mind.
The game continued on the field, and the Chinese team attacked after the kick-off in the center circle.
Chen Zhenhe took the ball to the front court and stuffed the ball into the penalty area to find Dai Linjing, but Dai Linjing did not receive it, and the ball went out of the sideline first.
The French team relaxed a little after taking a two-goal lead, and after the goal kick was opened, the backcourt made a mistake, and the Chinese team counterattacked with the ball-
After Feng Jingxiang and Lu Zhuhu collided with the wall, Lu Zhuhu cut inside with the ball, came to the middle, and faced Kante, who defended him, stabbed inward and forced his head inside!
Kante fouled behind and brought Lu Zhuhu down!
He was shown a yellow card by the referee, which was also the first yellow card of the game.
After a series of spicy performances, Lu Zhuhu finally made a kill in this breakthrough and also gained a free kick opportunity.
Countless pairs of eyes on the scene were staring at Captain Lu's body, hoping that his foot feeling would come back soon! All it takes is one goal before half-time to get it back!
The burden on Lu Zhuhu's shoulders was heavy, and it took a long time to adjust his breathing before the free throw, and then he kicked out-
Free kick to goal!
But it was lifted!
The Chinese team attacked again in the front court, and the pass went to the goal again!
Lloris kicks the ball out!
The French team counterattacked quickly!
The young heroes poured out, and although the Chinese team tried their best to withdraw quickly, they still couldn't stop the French team from killing in front of their own homes!
It's dangerous!
If 2-0 is not insured, then what about 3-0?
Pioneer Mbappe is still moving forward rapidly under Li Tiansheng's defense, and he threw Li Tiansheng off in a few steps on the left side of the penalty area, and Griezmann in the middle also patted the horse, and Mbappe rolled the ball and crossed!
Griezmann resisted Tan Jiangbai on the left side of the penalty area and turned around to shoot at a small angle!
Zhou Xianyan's fingertips rubbed but he didn't block the ball!
The ball goes straight to the near corner of the goal!
"It's over!" There were not a few Chinese fans in the audience who were so frightened that they covered their faces and didn't dare to look at it.
Knowing the "bang", the ball hit the post.
Lives hang by a thread!
Zhou Xianyan's fingertips are as if he has been blessed by God, and he can always create this effect of "setting things right", and this time he showed the strength of the last line of defense - as long as other teammates don't come to trap him like Lu Zhuhu.
Griezmann, who missed the goal, held his head and brushed his hair back - it's not that he didn't see clearly, a little further to the left, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team would never be able to touch it.
France got a corner kick opportunity on the left side, Griezmann continued to take the penalty, the ball fell to the back of the goal, Hernandez volleyed near the bottom line, Pogba shook his head in front of the goal!
The ball goes into the net!
Suffocation!
Chinese fans all have numb scalps, like falling into an ice cave!
It was only soon that the referee's whistle pulled the hearts of Chinese fans back from hell to the ground. The goal was nullified – Pogba brought down a defender before he could fight for position, and there were indeed people lying on the ground in the box who didn't get up.
In order to be insured, the referee went to watch the video replay again, but at this time, the commentators on the scene also recognized that the goal was not too controversial, and from the video replay, there were also French players who were already in an offside position, interfering with the goalkeeper, and the goal should be invalid.
Lu Zhuhu walked out of the crowd silently, came to the bench and hooked his hands, without looking at anyone's faces, but his meaning was obviously to ask for water.
Well, it's only been more than 30 minutes now, and it's not enough to get the chicken's blood, right?
However, judging from his previous performance, it is to brainwash and play normally......
This time, it was his average free-kick that led to a quick counter-attack by the French team.
Captain Lu was a little surprised at the scene that he was going to come up with his "unique secret method" so early, and the TV cameras were also focused on this side. Especially the French fans who were originally full of confidence were also a little panicked, and Mr. Pierre did not dance the ghost dance, lying by the glass to watch what the Chinese were going to do.
Is the legendary rage mode of killing gods coming?
The team staff threw the water at him, and Lu Zhuhu simply poured it on his head, scratching his messy hair, and living like a little madman. There was no eye contact with the head coach Da Long, and then he threw the empty bottle aside.
The score is indeed still 0-2, and the Chinese team takes a goal kick.
The players walked in the direction of the midfield, and when Lu Zhuhu came to the bottom of his group of relatives and friends, he looked up, and saw that Xiaohu Niu was also staring at him with round eyes, Lu Zhuhu suddenly smiled at her, and then trotted forward.
Did he begin to break through with more brutal force to break through the net laid for him by the French?
Not.
He was thinking about why the team ended up in such a predicament and why it couldn't score.
This is not how these teammates played in the concentration camp in '36.
Back then, they went to Berlin together for their ideals, and they didn't play football like this when they were full of enthusiasm to serve the country.
Who is to blame?
Don't blame others, the black pot really wants him to be "Captain Lu" to carry it.
If there is any difference between Lu Zhuhu and Lu Zhuhu, it is the word "captain". After he became the navigator or helmsman or captain of the big ship of the national football team, everyone told him that if the Chinese team wants to achieve results, it must not trust players such as Wu Lei and Gao Lin, don't trust your teammates, and believe in yourself.
He did the same, when he qualified for the World Cup, he was a big bag in every key game, from assists to goals, almost every goal was related to him, penalties, free kicks.
In the middle of the game against Argentina, because of the injury trouble, Brother Da Long also deliberately asked him to take on more offensive responsibilities and asked him to get back his leadership style.
But he made a mistake, this game is different, Li Huitang, Dai Linjing and others composed of this team, they have their accustomed style of play, habitual cooperation, and a fixed core, but he still regards himself as the captain of this team, as the core of the team, and dominates all the right to fire in the attack.
If it weren't for him grabbing shots and having all the right to decide on the offense, the numerical advantage in the offense would still be able to play a little more finely.
Why did he basically not have too many problems when he integrated into the team with Li Huitang and others, and he didn't spend many games, because he could recognize his position, the captain was Li Huitang, the core was him, the frontcourt was Feng Jingxiang, and the end was Dai Linjing...... He just needs to play his role on the wing, like Mbappe in France right now.
He only needs to be a sharp knife, the knife doesn't need to have thoughts, but now he regards himself as the core, as the captain, he must have his own ideas and concepts, when these conflicts with Li Huitang and them, they all regard themselves as outsiders to accommodate Captain Lu's ideas, and their performance is naturally poor.
The team needs a knife like Mbappe now, not Barca Messi, who can pass the ball and control the tempo and score all the goals.
"It's your team."
……
Captain Lu suddenly didn't want to be the captain anymore, but wanted to be the stunned young man back then, and the scope of his activities was consciously narrowed to the right side of the midfield, and the things in the penalty area were solved by the people in the penalty area. The defense doesn't need Liang Rongzhao to wipe his ass, I can come myself.
The Chinese team attacked in the front, Lu Zhuhu took the ball on the right side and did not continue to choose to cut inward, but crossed to the front of the penalty area, Feng Jingxiang received the ball and stuffed it directly in front of the goal, Li Huitang inserted it sideways and pushed it, failed to kick the power, and the ball was blocked by Lloris on the ground!
Dai Linjing then had a left-footed shot from near the penalty spot blocked, and Lloris hurriedly confiscated the ball.
This is reflected in the benefits of the Chinese team's more attackers, everyone can attack and create opportunities, rather than being solved by Captain Lu alone.
After that, it was Lu Zhuhu who took the ball on the right side, ready to speed up Hernandez's steal foul!!
Hernandez was shown a yellow card by the referee!!
This is also the second yellow card of the game, all to the French team!
After Lu Zhuhu consciously contracted his function, the result was that the French team's defense was facing the pressure of a yellow card for fouls - not to be big but comprehensive, only to let himself be a breakthrough, except for Kante, no one in the French team can say that he can eat him.
After that, Lu Zhuhu continued to take the ball on the right side of the front, and Li Huitang, who cut and followed up with a cross-pass, broke through the middle, and fell to the ground after contact with Kante, the referee signaled not to foul, and the ball was cleared by Kante's big foot, but Umtiti midfield defense Chen Zhenhe ate a push foul!!
The Chinese team got a free kick opportunity on the right side of the front!
Lu Zhuhu's free kick was passed diagonally to the back point, and Dai Linjing's header went straight up and down and almost broke the goal.
Unconsciously, the offensive threat of the Chinese team suddenly became bigger.
In the 40th minute, Zheng Jiliang made a left-footed cross from the left side of the field, and Li Huitang volleyed with his left foot in the penalty area, and the ball was confiscated by Lloris.
In the 42nd minute, Umtiti made a mistake in stopping the ball outside the penalty area and almost missed the ball, Feng Jingxiang made a mistake and lost the ball, and Umtiti could only foul. 1 minute later, Lu Zhuhu took a free kick from the right side of the front field to the penalty area, Dai Lin fought for the top with a header from the left side of the penalty area, and Li Huitang volleyed with his right foot on the left side of the penalty area, and the ball hit Pogba and popped up the bottom line.
Corner kick of the Chinese team.
It's a different corner.
