Chapter 252: Careless Losing the Ball

"The Dragons wore a red jersey in this match, and the Egyptians wore a white jersey and black shorts." Liu Jiayuan said.

"First of all, I would like to introduce you to some of the starting lineups of the warring sides, the Dragon Country team, I think everyone is already familiar with it, this game, the Dragon Country team has made some adjustments in the formation, compared with the previous two games."

"The goalkeeper is still No. 1 Zeng Cheng, on the back line, the Dragon Country team has changed from the previous three central defenders to four defenders, Zheng Zhi's position premise is to form a double back with Cai Huikang, and the four players on the guard line are Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Shi Ke and Wang Shenchao; In the midfield, in addition to Zheng Zhi and Cai Huikang, there are also Zhang Xizhe and Hao Junmin. ”

"On the front line, the Dragon Country team has become a double striker in this game, and it is Wu Lei who plays together with Shen Feng, both of them are very fast, their running positions are very flexible, and they have established enough tacit understanding in cooperation, which should be able to cause some trouble to the Egyptian team in this game."

"The formation of the Dragons in this game has changed from the previous 5-4-1 that focused on defense to a more traditional 4-4-2 with a more balanced attack and defence, and they obviously want to make a difference in this game."

"Looking at the Egyptian team, their goalkeeper is the veteran No. 1 Essam, who is over 45 years old? Hadari, on the back line, they are No. 2 Gabri, No. 6 Hegazi, No. 7 Fati and No. 13 Adebur Shafi; In midfield, is it No. 8 Tarek? Hamed, No. 17 Elneny, No. 19 Saeed and No. 21 Mohammed? Trezeguet; Up front are No.9 Mohsin and No.10 Salah. ”

"Egypt's formation for this game is also 4-4-2, and Salah returned from injury and started the game, which made the Egyptian team's attacking line guaranteed."

"But there is more than just Salah in this Egyptian squad!"

"That's right!" Xu Yang continued, "Although the Egyptian team lost 0:1 to Uruguay and 1:3 to Russia in the first two group games, their strength is not as bad as the results of the game show!" ”

"In addition to Salah, the Egyptian team's starting lineup also includes Elneny, who plays for Premier League giants Arsenal; Also on the back line are Gabriel and Hegazi, who play for West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. ”

"So, to a certain extent, this Egyptian team has more than half of the Premier League blood!"

"In addition to Salah in the front, Elneny, Gabriel and Hegazi in the midfield, the Dragons also need to pay special attention to this game, and these players can stand on their feet in the Premier League and play in their respective clubs, which is enough to prove their quality."

"From this point of view, the overall strength of this Egyptian team is also above the current Dragon Country team!"

"So, this game of the Dragon Country team is not easy to play!"

Xu Yang is right, after the start of the game, after the first ten minutes of testing, the first to launch an offensive, trying to control the rhythm and situation of the game, is the Egyptian team that has been out of the group stage early and has no hope of qualifying.

The Egyptian team consists of Gabul and Hegazi in the backfield, Elneny in the midfield and Salah in the front, forming a central axis with pure Premier League blood, and after the Egyptian team began to exert its strength, it showed good strength and quickly seized the initiative in the game.

The formation of the Dragon Country team in this game, although it has changed from 5-4-1 to 4-4-2, but the core of the tactics is still the defensive counterattack, and the guard line composed of Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Shi Ke and Wang Shenchao withstood the test in the last game with the Uruguayan team, and also gained self-confidence, and after the start of this game, he behaved more calmly.

The double back composed of Zheng Zhi and Cai Huikang is also the most capable combination among the current Longge players, standing in front of the back line, and the barrier effect is significant.

Zhang Xizhe and Hao Junmin, in the task of this game, the offensive component is much higher than in the first two games, but it does not mean that they do not need to take care of defense, the offensive and defensive balance of the Dragon Country team in this game is more reflected in the performance of the two of them.

Shen Feng and Wu Lei, the task of this game is very simple, that is, to attack the city, score goals, and win for the Dragon Country team!

Although the formation of the Dragon Country team in this game has changed, and the 4-4-2 formation has been used many times in the previous World Cup qualifiers and other events, the players basically have no problem of adaptation.

However, in just a few days, it is not easy to get the players to adjust accordingly in response to the change in formation.

Due to inertia, the Dragon Team still played quite conservatively on the field after the start of the game, and when the Egyptian team seized the initiative in the attack, the Dragon Team barely did much resistance and gave up the initiative.

Lippi saw this situation on the field on the sidelines, and did not act too anxious, still sitting firmly on the bench, allowing the players of the Dragon Country to adjust themselves.

The Egyptian team's first few offensive attempts did not give it all their might, and the Dragons team's defensive attention was also relatively concentrated, leaving no opportunity for the Egyptian team to take advantage of.

After withstanding several waves of attacks from the Egyptian team, the Dragon Country team also began to try to counterattack, but the Egyptian team was very closely marked by Shen Feng, and the Dragon Country team did not create too good opportunities.

In the twenty-second minute of the game, the Dragon Country team once again let the Egyptian team's attack be futile, and the backfield player handed the ball to Artemisia Junmin in the midfield, Artemisia Junmin originally wanted to transition the ball to Shen Feng, but at the moment of passing, he saw a player from the Egyptian team who appeared on the route of his pass, and it was too late to close his feet.

Egypt's midfielder No. 19 Abdullah? Said, clever enough to get the ball in front of him, then went straight to the ball and found Salah with precision.

The position where Salah got the ball, at the top of the arc of the big penalty area of the Dragon team, he comfortably unloaded the ball with his left foot, and then faced the two central defenders of the Dragon team, Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, as well as the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, who had abandoned the goal, chose a pick-up shot, the ball went over Zeng Cheng's head and drilled into the empty goal.

Egypt was the first to break the deadlock and take the lead!

Although the goal of the Egyptian team was caused by the mistakes of the Dragon Country team in the front court, the whole scoring process also reflected Salah's super-first-class forward skills and shooting ability - it really deserves to be the three "best players" in the Premier League last season, and the top scorer in a single season in the history of the Premier League!
