Chapter 74: The Chinese team faces Argentina! (1st Update)

The starting line-up for this game, when the managers of both sides were secretive, finally fully revealed at this moment:

Argentina's 433 formation:

Goalkeeper: No. 12 Armani

Defenders: No. 3 Tagliafico, No. 2 Mercado, No. 17 Otamendi, No. 16 Rojo

Midfielders: No. 14 Mascherano, No. 7 Banega, No. 15 Enzo Perez

Forwards: No. 22 Pavon, No. 10 Messi, No. 11 Di Maria

Argentina used the same line-up from the final group game, with the only change being to rotate Higuain with Pavon.

The Chinese team used 433 in the first three games, and changed it to 433 after the last game of 442, and it stands to reason that "Lippi" will still play 433 if there is no accident, but he arranged this time is 4231 The last "championship" formation, and the personnel have also undergone a super change:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Zeng Cheng

Defenders: No. 20 Zhang Chengdong, No. 6 Shi Ke, No. 4 Yu Yang, No. 15 Wu Xian

Back: No. 16 Chi China, No. 13 Ha Chao

Midfielder: No. 7 Wu Base, No. 10 Lu Zhuhu, No. 12 Park Cheng

Forward: No. 11 Westhowe

What to say about this lineup, it is completely like "Lippi" is the opposite of his previous decision, and the choice of personnel cannot but remind people of Perrin in the last World Cup.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the "4231" formation was the absolute mainstream, and 28 of the top 32 teams adopted it.

At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the "433" formation was revived, but the "4231" formation was still the majority, with 16 teams. The round of 32 tends to be diversified in terms of formation.

At that time, Brother Da Long's tactics were considered mainstream and did not fall behind. However, in the 2014-15 season after his departure, changes continued to occur, and the number of teams in the Champions League round of 32 continued to use 4231, but the number of teams using 442 retro formations soared, and the trend became more and more obvious, and the situation has been very different in just four years.

In the same way, European football continues to lead the way in world football.

Which place likes people to use 4231 the most?

Chinese.

The Chinese Super League from the 2008 Olympic Games before the full use of "4231", since then "4231" has been dominant, the formation of each team is almost all, only a few like Yongchang, Jianye is special, is an alternative.

It is true that the quality of foreign aid and the level of wages have been rising, but there does not seem to be a tactical one.

What really brought substantial changes to the skills and tactics of the Chinese Super League is indeed Lippi, who has coached Evergrande for two and a half years, and Evergrande's skills and tactics have been enriched a lot, and even two or three changes can be made in a single game.

After Lippi left, he went back to the old ways.

Today's choice of the Chinese team is really worth playing......

Lu Zhuhu understood that Brother Da Long hadn't had much contact with football in the past four years, and he told him before the game that the set four years ago might be outdated, but Brother Da Long didn't listen!

I don't care, I don't care!

There are no outdated formations, only people who don't know how to use them!

Lu Zhuhu sneered, but these people you chose ...... It's not like it's reliable......

Yan Junlin has started three games in a row, there are shortcomings, and there is no shortage of highlights, as soon as Brother Da Long comes back, he is replaced by a "henchman" Zeng Cheng, OK, you said that Yan Junlin conceded an average of nearly 3 goals per game;

Yu Yang was not sent to the stands, it was just a joke at the time, but Zhang Linpeng, who had no card and was not sick, was sent to see the water dispenser! partnered with Shi Ke's double central defenders, okay, you said that the last game against Argentina was also such a combination, and the effect was very good;

But Wu Xian, who has a bit of the core meaning of the midfield, played back to the right back, and Zhang Chengdong, who has been playing on the right side for the past two years, moved back to the left side like the first phase of "Brother Da Long", and Xiao Zhi and Qin Long, who played well on the field, were abandoned again (of course not the deity)......

In addition to being different from Lippi, Lu Zhuhu couldn't think of any other basis. Brother Da Long replied seriously:

That's right, I just want to be different from Uncle Li, otherwise how can I show my ability?

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

It's useless to protest, because Lu Zhuhu himself has been "operated" on the court, and it must be that Brother Da Long is not satisfied with his disobedience to him and is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate......

Loyal to the ear, loyal like a traitor, Huzi I am full of courage and enthusiasm, I don't want you to go astray and destroy the Great Wall! Uncle Camacho's lessons are still there......

No matter what confusion the audience and the media have about Lu Zhuhu and Lippi's "retro" formation, the first eighth-knockout match of the World Cup has begun.

Compared with 4 years ago, Boss Mei is four years old, but it is nonsense to say that the owner of the martial arts league has changed hands, Salah showed a terrifying attack in the Premier League last season, breaking the Premier League goal record of Alan Shearer that has been in the dust for many years, but the European Golden Boot, isn't it still Boss Mei. The "senior fans" who have watched the game since the opening day of the World Cup on June 15 called the double pride old, and in the last World Cup, Neymar, Mbappe, Kane, and Hazard were crowned. The brutal reality is that football is still Mero's world, and there will still be a lot of time left to rule.

Boss Mei changed a new hairstyle in this game, which means a bit "from scratch", and he was extremely positive at the beginning, confirming the speculation that Argentina was going to grab the start before the game. However, the tactics of the Chinese team are still targeted compared to the somewhat absurd formation of this game, and the opening strategy is to defend and counterattack, and the lineup is very tight, basically only one of the Wulei or Wei Shihao is inserted in the opponent's half to contain the Argentine defense.

This makes Boss Mei ambitious, but the resistance he encounters is great. In the 2nd minute of the opening game, Messi broke through with the ball for the first time in the front court and was viciously put down by the Chinese team Hechao, and gave him a dismount -

What's even more annoying is that although Hechao moves a lot, he really touches the ball first. Boss Mei turned over twice and found that the referee did not say anything, and raised his hand to express his displeasure, but did not appeal.

The toughness of the national youth captain is eye-catching, not like a fledgling young student, and he is not cowardly in the face of such a superstar.

It is impossible not to think of his "predecessors" Rong Hao. Boss Mei also unconsciously felt a hint of coolness in his crotch, and deliberately retreated some positions, and couldn't play with the other party's children. But unlike Rong Hao, Ha Chao didn't come to him as a little tail, and Brother Da Long didn't want to use the man-marking tactics that worked last time.

Argentina uses a strikerless formation, although Messi is the nominal center forward in this game, but limited by height, Argentina's midfield is not as strong as Barcelona, and it is not a matter of a day or two that he can't get the ball at the top of the forward line on the field. When Messi retreated, his midfield teammates and wingers did not switch to the center forward, making Argentina seriously lacking in the middle.

One minute later, Argentina's Banega went straight to the ball, and Di Maria received the ball on the left side of the front field and crossed - but no one answered in the middle, and the ball went straight out of the bottom line. Argentina's overall formation pressed forward, Messi habitually retreated to respond, and there were no other teammates in the middle to hold the position of temporary center, and no one would enter the penalty area to grab points.

Brother Da Long looked at it from the sidelines and laughed secretly, a formation with such obvious flaws, I don't know what Sampaoli thought would make such an arrangement.

Don't look at the Snapdragon brother, I'm very willful, but in terms of offense, short legs are absolutely not allowed. Sure enough, the Chinese team's first counterattack was fruitful, Zeng Cheng served directly to the right side, and Lu Zhuhu took the ball in front of the court-

It was his first attack since going off injured against Denmark – or even his first touch since that day, and no one knows what his form will be. In the first few minutes, he basically didn't run much, and it could be seen that he was still suffering from injuries and his spirit was quite sluggish.

The right side met Tagliafico, pulled the ball and wanted to shake it, but he didn't send any force, Tagliafico was relieved, and it was not a big problem to stop -

At this time, Lu Zhuhu suddenly made a pick-up, crossed Tagliafico's raised left leg, got rid of the defense, and then rushed forward and chased the ball in stride!

Well done!

Tagliafico was stunned and hurriedly turned around to chase after him, but Lu Zhuhu was like a wild horse that had escaped, where could he still catch up?

Seeing the opponent's fresh clothes and angry horses go away, he instantly went near the bottom line, and a cross ball was sent directly to the Argentine team's penalty area, and Wei Shihao, who was waiting in the middle of the vacancy, jumped high, and then it was a head-shaking goal!
