Chapter 71: Offensive and defensive drills
Under the circumstance that they had taken the initiative to show weakness, adjusted the formation, and switched from offense to defense, the Uzbek team suffered another blow before the end of the first half, and the score had fallen behind by three goals, and the team's morale was hit again.
After the restart, he stopped trying to counter-attack, and retreated in his own half, just wanting to exhaust the little game time left in the first half as soon as possible.
The Dragon Country team, on the other hand, was also happy to cooperate and did not continue to force the attack, and the first half of the game ended in such a harmonious atmosphere.
Players from both sides left the pitch and returned to the locker room to rest and adjust.
The live broadcast of the National Television Sports Channel was transferred back to the rear studio, where the host Shao Shengyi, and the two guests, Zhang Lu and Gong Lei, were all smiling at the moment, and joy was radiating from the inside out.
To say, they do football commentary, it's not easy, in the last few rounds of games, the Dragon Country team performed well, everyone was happy, their work was better to do, before that, when the Dragon Country team's record was unsightly, they still had to abide by the work ethic, scolding MMP in their hearts, and they had to forcibly pull out one, two, three, in their mouths, it was really difficult for them.
Shao Shengyi, as the host, is better, after all, he is a media person, not really belonging to the football circle, Zhang Lu and Gong Lei, but they are both senior seniors in the football circle, and they can mix to their current status in the circle.
Now that I finally saw that the Dragon Country team was in the face of a desperate situation, Zhang Lu and Gong Lei felt honored and relieved.
For Shen Feng, who completed the hat trick in only half a game, he naturally did not hesitate to praise him.
All in all, the whole country fell into a peaceful atmosphere.
If there are exceptions, apart from the dressing room of the away team Uzbekistan, there is only the dressing room of the Dragon Nation team.
In the first half, the three-goal lead, the victory is already in hand, the dragon team also feels dreamy about this result, the old players can still stabilize, several young players, the mentality has begun to drift, a little carried away.
Cai Zhenhua, chairman of the Football Association, who came to supervise the game, deliberately took advantage of the halftime break to come to the locker room of the Dragon Country team, and expressed his condolences to the players in a way with the characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom, and instructed the players to guard against arrogance and rashness in the second half of the game, and make persistent efforts.
When Cai Zhenhua was talking and scolding Fang Xuan, the head coach of the Dragon Country team, Lippi, stood aside with a solemn expression and an expressionless face.
The time of the half-time break should have been the time for the manager to summarize the lessons of the first half for the players, lay out the tactics for the second half of the game, and adjust the strategy.
There are only fifteen minutes in total, and after deducting the time to leave the field and play, there are only about ten minutes, and the time is quite short.
As a result, the leadership of the Football Association intervened, so that the already scarce time became almost empty.
Before Lippi took over the coaching whip of the Dragon Country team, he served as the coach of the Evergrande team for several years, and he already has an understanding of the unique habits of Dragon Country football.
Although before taking over the Dragon Country Team, there was a gentleman's agreement with the Football Association, and the Dragon Country Team's team was solely responsible for the game matters of the Dragon Country Team, and the Football Association could not point fingers, but for such an innocuous little thing as the leader's self-righteous encouragement talk, an old fox like Lippi who was well-connected would not be forced to carry it in his heart.
Anyway, it should be explained to the players, and it has been explained quite carefully before the game, and there are as many as six people in the starting team of the Dragon Country team in this game, all of whom are from the Evergrande team, they are all Lippi's descendants, and they understand Lippi's tactical ideas very thoroughly, and they are all old players, with excellent psychological quality, and they are very trustworthy at such a critical juncture.
Sending off the leaders of the Football Association, Lippi didn't say much, but repeatedly warned his disciples that they must be calm on the field, and they can't act recklessly because they are leading by a big score, and they must always remember that they are a group and a team, and the individual will must obey the team's will!
In fact, after leaving the field, the starters in the first half calmed down and began to reflect on themselves, how could they not continue to expand the score after taking advantage of the first half for a long time.
Although most of the players of this group of Dragon Country players have no experience in foreign countries and have not personally experienced the atmosphere of the highest level football clubs in Europe, this does not mean that they do not have international awareness.
With the continuous development of football in the Dragon Country and the gradual increase in investment, more and more world-class players and coaches have appeared in the Dragon Country League, and they have brought the most advanced football development experience in the world to the Dragon Country, so that the top players in the Dragon Country can connect with the world without going abroad.
Not to mention, Lippi, the current head coach of the Dragons, can be said to be one of the most accomplished and top coaches in international football today.
Although he has not been in charge of the Dragon Country team for a long time, he has brought immediate changes to the Dragon Country team, which has benefited this group of players of the Dragon Country Team a lot.
After everyone realized their problems, they started the second half, and they didn't need Lippi to continue to supervise on the sidelines, so they consciously adjusted themselves.
In the game, everyone has become more patient, no longer as impatient as in the first half, of course, you have to try your best to have the opportunity, and if you don't have the opportunity, you will patiently fall in the middle and back, while consuming the game time, while looking for opportunities.
Now, the balance of victory in the game has completely tilted to the side of the Dragon Country, even if the game ends with the current score, it will be a rare victory for the Dragon Team.
Prior to this game, the Dragons had a goal difference of -3, and if they could beat Uzbekistan with a score of 3:0 in this game, the goal difference would be 0, exceeding the set goal.
Now, for the Dragon Country, the first task is not to continue to expand the score, but to keep the current victory!
The Dragon Country team is no longer in a hurry to attack, but the Uzbek team still does not dare to take it lightly, because in the game, the Dragon Country team, which has become more patient, has created more pressure on them than in the first half!
At this moment, the Dragon Nation team is like a cheetah lying dormant in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to move, patiently waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.
On the side of the Dragon Country team, Shen Feng is still on the field, and the Uzbekistan team has a deep understanding of his ability to seize opportunities, and does not dare to ignore it in the slightest.
Although the Uzbekistan team didn't want to give up this game like this, the situation on the field forced them to accept such a situation!
In the second half of the game, it really became an offensive and defensive drill for the warring parties, and the two sides went back and forth, which looked lively, but there was not much substantive content, and it seemed quite peaceful.
