Chapter 603: The Core of Invisibility

In the sports channel studio, seeing the national team wearing a red uniform, He Wei suddenly came to his senses.

He excitedly introduced: "...... Obviously, the Chinese team, which has only one way to win, boldly discharged a very aggressive lineup today.

This also sends a strong signal to our opponents, that is, the Chinese team must win 3 points at home today! ”

Xue Yang added the relevant background information, and he continued: "...... Halfway through this group, the Chinese team is now 8 points behind South Korea, who are ranked second in the group.

If we still want to keep the hope of entering Russia, then no matter what kind of record or historical record we have left before, we must not lose this game, and we must win the opponent as well! ”

The players of both sides walked into the court under the leadership of their respective captains Zhou Zhi and Ji Chengyong, and Stillik, who was in deep crisis of leaving class, deliberately stood on the sidelines and cheered for his players one by one.

Li Liang watched this scene as he walked, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

He felt that compared to the Korean players who seemed even a little conceited, Stillik seemed to be under considerable pressure.

After the entrance ceremony, the Korean national anthem was played, and hundreds of Korean fans unfurled a huge Korean flag tifo, hoping to cheer on their players in this way.

When the prelude to the "March of the Volunteers" sounded, Li Liang and his teammates saw the audience of more than 50,000 people stand up and sing the national anthem together.

A more huge five-star red flag tifo in the front stands shocked the audience, declaring the firm determination to defend the home stadium with amazing momentum.

Li Liang's father and mother experienced such a scene for the first time at the scene, and they were all excited to tears, and his father's voice trembled and said, "...... Is that really Ryoko? I can't believe it! ”

Xiaoyu replied loudly: "Dad, the 17th is Brother Liangzi!" It was his first start for the national team in an official match! ”

The South Korean players in white uniforms lined up to shake hands with the home team players as usual, and the Koreans still looked much more relaxed than the Chinese team players, who were still a little restrained.

After Zhou Zhihe, who had been teammates in the Celtics of the Soviet Super League, sent a simple greeting, the two sides began to pick sides, and the Chinese team kicked off first.

Da Xiong and Yueyue were already on time at the TV in their New York apartment, staring intently at the picture of Xu Bao kicking off the Chinese team.

The referee blew the whistle, and this game that touched the hearts of countless people finally began!

The national team tried to follow Lippi's pre-match play to play a quick push, and they quickly hit the ball to the front, but unfortunately there was a lack of tacit understanding between the players, and the ball fell to the feet of the South Koreans in the moment of a mistake.

Lippi and his aides sat motionless on the bench, and he seemed very patient.

Lippi knew the special significance of this match for everyone, and he believed that it was just a temporary nervousness on the part of his disciples, who should soon adjust.

Zhou Zhi and Feng Xiao were both shouting for their teammates to stabilize, and Li Liang completed the half-court round-trip sprint and hurried back to the defensive position.

Lippi deeply understands the characteristics of his group of players, and in front of the tall and strong South Koreans, he unexpectedly sacrificed a "small and fast" midfield combination.

Except for the physically strong striker Xu Bao who acts as the fulcrum at the front, the rest of the attacking players are all known for their flexibility and outstanding skills.

He told his players before the game to stick to playing on the ground, to get through the midfield as quickly as possible, and to create a numerical advantage as much as possible through high-intensity running.

Completely different from Stillik's judgment, the Chinese team did not attack around Li Liang after the opening, although Li Liang ran very actively, but did not even have many chances to touch the ball.

The sunspot in the stands couldn't hold his breath and asked Lao Yu: "This is the case, why don't you give the ball to Liangzi?" ”

In his opinion, Li Liang, who has been the main striker in Monaco, should become the absolute core of this national team, instead of running around the field like this.

Lao Yu replied: "Be quiet! Don't make such layman's words a joke!

Do you know what it means to confuse your opponent? I haven't seen anything in the world in the world, so there must be a reason for this arrangement! ”

Kuroko pursed her lips and said in her heart that my brother made it look like you participated in the preparation meeting of the national team!

Ding Ding, who was next to him, joined the Hurricanes and was exposed to professional football training for nearly a year, and he said to Heizi and Lao Yu: "Our midfielders can't take advantage of positional offense, so now the midfielders are reducing individual dribbling and emphasizing fast passing - but Brother Liangzi does have a little bit less to get the ball." ”

The South Korean team attaches great importance to Li Liang, and specially arranged Gao Mingzhen in the midfield to mark the defense, and the captain Ji Chengyong also pays attention to protecting Gao Mingzhen at all times.

But to their surprise, as the game continued to advance, the rest of the Chinese team still did not hand over the ball to Li Liang as expected.

Although the starting point is different, this is exactly the consensus reached by Coach Lippi and Li Liang.

Before the game, Li Liang took the initiative to communicate with Lippi, and he told Lippi: "...... I think in the first half of the game I should have given more to the team off the ball.

If I still play the way I played in Monaco, first of all, I am afraid that it will be difficult to replicate that tacit understanding with my teammates in the national team in attack, and secondly, I feel that my form is not at its best, I am afraid that it will affect the whole team! ”

Lippi was greatly moved to hear this, because this is actually what he and his assistants have been most entangled.

Taking forward passing as an example, Li Liang has become accustomed to targeting Falcao with excellent running awareness or Mbappe with amazing speed and explosiveness at Monaco, and frankly the national team has not yet reached this level of strikers.

Specifically, just like Li Liang's wonderful assist to Bakayoko in the 3:1 victory over Manchester City, the arc kicked can allow the attacking players to complete the acceleration sprint, but in order to bypass the defense, the change of the landing point deliberately created at the end greatly tested Bakayoko's physical core strength and adjustment ability when he was in the air, and the two exceeded the limit of the performance to finally work together to create this wonderful goal.

Lippi and his assistants knew that such a pass was rare in the whole of Asia, and it was impossible for the players to adapt to Li Liang's passing in a short training period.

There is no other way to let Li Liang adapt to everyone. So before Li Liang returned to China to report, Lippi had already thought about these things repeatedly.

Li Liang and Coach Lippi had the same idea, and they agreed to reduce Li Liang's possession at least for the first half of the first half.

This tactical design put the South Korean midfield in a dilemma, and Stillik was even more confused.

He didn't believe that the Chinese team would use a star like Li Liang to purely respond and cover on the field, and in his judgment, he thought that Li Liang would act as a flashpoint in the front court like a strengthened version of Gu Zizhe on his side, so most of his defensive tactical designs fully took this into account.

At present, the Chinese team does not have a "multi-core" style of play with Li Liang as the core, so that the German coach does not know how to deal with it for a while.
