Falling behind the Dragons twice in a row was definitely something that the Russian team had not expected before this game.

In the understanding of the Russian team, this dragon team, in the previous World Cup qualifiers, can only be regarded as a fluke of stumbling, and then played two play-offs in a row to catch the last train of this World Cup.

Although in the previous warm-up matches, this Dragon team had a record of drawing with Wales and Uruguay, but also lost to Algeria and Paraguay, and its strength as a whole is not outstanding.

The Russian team believes that there is no problem in beating this Dragon Team on their home ground, in the opening match of this World Cup, and with the common attention of hundreds of millions of fans!

In the first ten minutes of the game, the situation on the field was the same as the Russian team envisioned, but then, the situation took a sharp turn, completely deviated from the Russian team's vision, and the gap became wider and wider.

The first goal was conceded, and the Russian team could still find various reasons, and now that the second goal was conceded, the Russian team had to recognize the facts even if they were unwilling!

The fact is that the strength of this Dragon Nation team is not as bad as they imagined before the game, and if they want to beat this Dragon Nation team, they need to do better and put in more effort on the field, and the victory will not come as easily as imagined!

Moreover, judging from the current situation on the field, if they can't find a better way to limit Shen Feng, then the next game will be very difficult!

The Russian team does have the strength and ability to break through the door of the Dragon Team, even if the Dragon Team is very tenacious and tight in defense, the Russian team itself has confidence in itself.

However, when the Russian team focuses on the offense, the defensive end will inevitably be exposed, giving the Dragons a chance to take advantage of!

Judging from the first two goals conceded, the ability of the Dragon team to seize the opportunity is still above the Russian team!

Although there is only one player on the field who is responsible for attacking and seizing opportunities in the Dragon Country Team, as long as he finds a way to restrain him, most of the Dragon Team's offense will be abolished, but the Russian team has never thought of using malicious fouls and abolishing Shen Feng to stop the attack of the Dragon Country Team like the South Korean team in the East Asian Cup before.

This is the pride and work ethic of the Russian players as professionals.

Football is a football game, those who have the strength and can give full play to their strength win, those who have the strength but cannot give full play to their strength, and those who do not have the strength lose, this is the basic rule of football.

Instead of using some bad means that do not conform to professional ethics in the name of hard work and hard work!

If everyone were like the South Korean team, then the football game would not be able to be played, and Ronaldo and Messi would have been abolished I don't know how many times!

The Russian team is once again behind the score, first of all, they still have to find problems from themselves, and the current situation on the field forces them to attack more resolutely, because only in this way can they have the possibility of equalizing again and then winning the game.

Fortunately, the Russian team was not short of luck in this game, inspired by the second goal of the Dragon Country, in the sports battle, in the face of the dense defense and tight formation of the Dragon Team, there was no good way to crack it, so they turned to seek more opportunities for set-pieces.

In fact, the development trend of international football is also more and more focused on set-pieces, especially for those traditional strong teams, the ability to create set-pieces (including corners) in the front court and grasp set-piece opportunities has gradually become an important indicator to measure their strength.

First, because with the vigorous development of the international football industry, football games are bound to become more and more utilitarian, "the tactics that can win the game and win the championship are good tactics" have become the norm on the football field.

Second, the current strength and weakness of international football are still relatively clear, how can weak teams gain a foothold in front of strong teams? It can only be relied on by tight defense!

Therefore, how to break the dense defense has now become a comprehensive topic in international football!

Except for a few teams, after being able to rely on superior player talent and tactical execution, and rely on hard power to crush the opponent, the best way for other teams to break the dense defense is to grasp the opportunity of set-pieces!

Recognising this problem, the Russians spent the remainder of the first half with a heightened awareness of creating set-pieces (including corners) in front of the game, and then threatened the Dragons' goal through set-piece tactics.

The effect is very obvious!

The physicality and point-grabbing awareness of the Russian players are, in fact, above the Dragons players, and they can give full play to their advantages in this regard in set-piece tactics, thus making their attacks more efficient and more threatening to the Dragons' goal.

Finally, in the forty-third minute of the game, the Russian team successfully knocked on the goal of the Dragon Country team again through a corner kick tactic, and the score was tied at 2:2.

In the corner kick tactics of the Russian team, the defense of the Dragon Country team, in fact, did not have much problem, the players' attention was very concentrated, and the choice of defensive positions was also good.

Such a conceded goal, the Dragon Country team can only accept it helplessly.

However, this level of blow has not been taken to heart by the players of the Dragon Country team, what are you afraid of if the score is equalized? Then score again!

After the baptism of this half of the game, the mental outlook of the Dragon Country team has changed very much from before the start of the game, which is mainly reflected in the self-confidence of the players.

Now, they have enough confidence to resist the Russian team and win the battle!

After the restart, the Dragons slightly changed their game strategy in the few minutes left in the first half and tried to take the initiative to attack, but the Russian team had already prepared for this and waited for it, leaving no opportunity for the Dragons to take advantage of.

After a few rounds of back and forth, the referee finally waited for the referee's whistle on the field, and the first half of the game ended and entered a fifteen-minute halftime break.

This fifteen-minute intermission is very important for both warring sides!

During this period, the Russian team needs to come up with more effective ways to limit Shen Feng; If the Dragons want to win this game, they also need to make some adjustments to their tactics and personnel at halftime.
