He Wei suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles in the commentary seat, he cheered up and commented: "I don't think even the Spanish team expected them to have such a smooth start. This is football, full of unpredictable surprises. Compared with the opponent, the Chinese team seems to be a little slow to heat up. However, the boys of the Chinese team do not have to be discouraged, the opponent's two-goal lead is a very delicate score, as long as everyone maintains the fighting spirit and responds tactically properly, it is not impossible to fight back. ”

Xu Yang nodded: "There are two sides to everything, maybe this is an opportunity for the Chinese team to shock the world again, turning the impossible into a fact, isn't this what we have been doing in this World Cup?" ”

And Spanish national TV commentator Garcia danced happily and said in an excited tone: "Although the Chinese team is very good, Spain is the stronger team." Although Wen Zhihao's personal ability is outstanding, the reason why football is an eleven-man sport naturally makes sense. Gone are the days when Maradona single-handedly shook a team. ”

suffered two consecutive blows at the beginning, and the Chinese team has never encountered such an extreme unfavorable situation in this World Cup.

Even Lippi was a little anxious, that is, he fell behind by two goals at the beginning, which is not much in Lippi's long coaching career.

However, as a world-class coach at the Grand Slam level, Lippi reacted very quickly, and conveyed the instructions to the players on the court through Wen Zhihao to stabilize the scene first and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack. At the same time, the defense does its best to press the opponent and compress the opponent's longitudinal passing space, whether it is Iniesta or Isco, the horizontal pass is not a threat to the Chinese team, and once it breaks through to the Chinese team's penalty area or sends a penetrating pass, it will be very dangerous, and the first ball is a lesson, and the Chinese team has to defend.

Wen Zhihao's position also gradually retreated from the front waist to the front of the double back waist, as Wen Zhihao retreated, the Chinese team's formation looked more like 4-5-1, the only player who stayed in the front court to wait for the counterattack was the king of martial arts, the reason why Lippi let him serve as a forward arrow in this game, is also considering that his speed can contain the Spanish team's double high defenders Pique and Ramos, if Gao Lin is sent on the field, it may be self-defeating, under the focus of the two world-class central defenders, may not even get the ball, In that case, his forward bridgehead not only failed to play his role, but became the biggest tactical failure of the Chinese team.

Under the requirements of Lippi's obedience to the overall tactical system, there is no one who cannot be the main force that cannot be beaten! If Lippi is really determined to defend to the end at a certain time, it is not strange to replace Wen Zhihao, let alone Gao Lin.

Gao Lin, who was sitting on the bench, had eager eyes, watching the team fall behind by two goals in the blink of an eye, he glanced at Lippi's back countless times, he didn't understand why Lippi trusted himself very much before, why he was on the bench in such a key game.

Gao Lin is 32 years old this year, and in Qatar four years later, he will be 36 years old, and it will be difficult for him to fight for his country again. It was his first and last World Cup and of course he didn't want to pass up every chance to be on the pitch to help the team.

Although there is also his own selfishness in this, he wants to score key goals for the team and become the focus of media attention, praise and even worship by fans, but objectively speaking, as a striker, it is completely normal to have such thoughts. A striker who has no heart to conquer, why should he make the opponent fearful and become a weapon for the team to attack the city?

But what was cruel to Gao Lin was that he soon had to admit that Lippi made the right decision to let Wuqiu King play as a single arrow.

Although Wen Zhihao's position retreated and the Chinese team's formation was getting farther and farther away from the Spanish penalty area, this strategy of retreating to advance increased the number of times Wen Zhihao got the ball. This allows him to send a lot of penetrating balls to the king of martial arts.

Give somebody a taste of his own medicine! Use the Spanish team to score the first goal of the Chinese team to restrain the opponent.

Wen knows both Pique and Sergio Ramos well, with the pair being tall and long-legged, covering a large area and with outstanding defensive awareness as world-class centre-backs. If you simply and rudely pass the ball close to the ground, it is very likely to be destroyed by the opponent, so Wen Zhihao basically aimed at the position of the two people at the bottom of the chest to pass the half-high ball to the king of martial arts, increasing the difficulty of the opponent whether he uses his head or feet to clear the siege. The height of the Wuqiu King is shorter than that of Pique and Ramos, and the height that is difficult for the two to handle is just the right position for the Wuqiu King to comfortably stop the ball and sprint forward.

Such tactics have caused Pique and Ramos to suffer one after another, and both of them have received a yellow card for the Wuqiu king.

"It's good news for the Chinese team, Pique and Ramos have received yellow cards, and they will have some fears about defensive moves at the back, but the Chinese team needs to score a goal as soon as possible for these two yellow cards to be more meaningful."

Although He Wei affirmed the role of Pique and Ramos in helping the Chinese team, he also pointed out more urgent matters.

Goal!

But helplessly the forward line is the king of martial arts, for him, fans have a classic evaluation: "world-class running, super shooting", this is not that the fans deliberately hacked him, but his crosshairs on the door are really difficult to compliment. Especially the goalkeeper De Gea he is going to face today, domestic Manchester United fans also have a classic description: the front is picturesque, and the back is De Gea!

Manchester United's attacking power in the front is extremely strong, but the defenders dig some inexplicable holes from time to time, and De Gea can often play the role of the anchor in front of the goal, which shows his strength and mentality.

And such a two-person counterpoint, as long as the martial arts king does not play at a super level, the result is obvious. The Martial Ball King had the advantage on three occasions but was saved twice by De Gea, and on the other occasion he finally deceived De Gea with a feint, but the final push was too little and was blocked by the aggressive defender Pique on the goal line. The regret of the Chinese fans became louder and louder every time, and the Japanese commentator Yuhei Kitajima sighed: "This night really doesn't belong to the Chinese team, will they stop in the semifinals?" Have the World Cup semi-finals really reached the ceiling of Asian teams? ”

If these three opportunities can be grasped once, the Chinese team will make the score 1:2, and the pressure will be transferred to the Spanish team in the second half of the game.

But at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:2, and Lippi was left with only the single mandatory question of active attack in the second half.

In the face of such a mandatory question, even He Wei is blunt, there are definitely not many opportunities left for the Chinese team!

During the half-time break, CCTV's half-time highlights replayed several wasted opportunities for the king of martial arts. Obviously, this is what the Chinese team regretted in the first half. So much so that at halftime, many fans left a message on the CCTV network client: If the Chinese team loses this game, half of it will lose in the opening game, and half of it will lose to the suicide shot of the king of martial arts!

……

With a two-goal advantage, Lopetegui was able to take it in stride, making the first substitution of the second half, bringing on the versatile Saul for Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

He Wei immediately reminded Chinese fans to pay attention: "Saul has played, and the confrontation between Atletico Madrid players that Chinese fans are very interested in is officially staged...... Saul stands in the left midfield, as long as the Chinese team attacks, it is very likely to directly oppose Wen Zhihao, perhaps this is also Lopetegui's intention, replace it with a player who gets along with Wen Zhihao day and night, knows him very well, and maximizes the restriction on Wen Zhihao, but this seems to be a double-edged sword......"

"Two teammates who know each other well, the main attacking side will have more advantage!" Xu Yang answered very tacitly. Then they looked at each other and smiled tacitly. As the gold medal partner of CCTV football commentary, the two naturally have a deep understanding of each other, and it is easy to think of each other's intentions.

Lippi's first substitution in the second half was somewhat surprising, it was Liang Xin who was replaced, and Hao Junmin was replaced.

Liang Xin saw that the red number on the fourth official's substitution card was actually his own number, and he looked both shocked and unwilling. He played the full five games before this World Cup and was never substituted in the middle of the game. But of course he knew that he had to absolutely obey the head coach's decision, sat on the bench and watched the team's position change, and it didn't take him a few minutes for him to slowly figure out that Hao Junmin's ability to comb the offense was stronger than himself, and he could help Wen Zhihao comb the offense when he came on the court.

With this adjustment, the midfield situation of the Chinese team has changed fundamentally, there is no defensive midfielder on the field, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin and Wen Zhihao are all offensive central midfielders, which is obviously a desperate tactic.

The arrangement of the two head coaches also means that the two sides will focus on the midfield competition in the second half, and it turns out that He Wei and Xu Yang's judgment is correct, Saul's appearance is indeed Lopetegui's arrangement for Wen Zhihao - Saul followed Wen Zhihao every step after he came on the field, and he was completely more dedicated than his personal bodyguard. And once Wen Zhihao gets the ball, maybe Lopetegui is very cautious, or Saul knows Wen Zhihao too well, so he himself feels that he can't give Wen Zhihao any room to play, in short, his defensive strategy is two words: down.

Of course, Saul has a lot of experience, so he will not be stupid enough to challenge the referee's bottom line, and the scale of his movements is very good, making physical contact first and then interfering, so as to achieve the maximum effect.

has been violated continuously, coupled with the eagerness to score goals, Wen Zhihao will certainly not be in a good mood. Saul's attitude was very good after he put him down, he took the initiative to reach out and pull Wen Zhihao up, and put on an expression of "I was just forced, this is not my intention" to admit his mistake and make amends, but Wen Zhihao also didn't give him a good face, and said with a calm face: "Don't put on that expression, I don't know you yet?" Let's have fun in my heart! Unscrupulous means to achieve the end, today I can be regarded as refreshing my understanding of you. ”

Saul hurriedly put on an expression of being wronged, spread his hands and said: "Wen, this is really no wonder of me, the coach asked for this." There is a debtor and a debtor, don't settle accounts with me! ”

"Oh! Then I should praise you for your dedication! But you have to think about it, let's look down and don't look up, hehe! Hello for yourself......"

Saul's expression was slightly bitter, and he lowered his head slightly. He understands Wen Zhihao's character and won't give him small shoes to wear, but his defensive strategy is indeed a bit unskilled, and to put it bluntly, he can't be put on the table.

Wen Zhihao suddenly thought of something, turned his head and added to Saul: "Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to follow me too closely!" ”

……

The Chinese team worked very hard in the opening stage of the second half, especially Hao Junmin, who came on as a substitute in the second half, and felt that Lippi let himself play in this situation out of absolute trust in himself, so he worked especially hard and wanted to show his value. The offensive end frequently runs in a wide range, involving Busquets, and the defensive end is even more self-volunteering, directly stiffening Iniesta, his height is taller than Iniesta, and he directly uses high-pressure methods to grab close to his body, which is still very effective in a short period of time. The Chinese team also relied on this kind of play to form a stalemate with the opponent in the first fifteen minutes of the second half.

The game time passed by minute by second, although the Chinese team worked the field, adding simple and direct long-range shots and side crosses, but did not rewrite the score, did not substantially help the situation.

Fans and commentators are anxiously waiting, in the eyes of foreign commentators, the Chinese team has no power to return to the sky, and Lippi is still making the last attempt.

In the 65th minute, Gao Lin came on the field and replaced the martial arts king who had significantly decreased his physical fitness.

Three minutes later, there was a change on the field in favor of the Chinese team, although it had nothing to do with Gao Lin, who had just come on the field......

Hao Junmin passed directly to the side, Yu Hanchao quickly inserted behind Alba, took the advantage of the position and wiped into the penalty area, and then passed to Wen Zhihao who followed up, although the pass was slightly back, but Wen Zhihao had a strong ability to adjust, quickly protected the ball with his back, and then performed a ninety-degree pull ball in the penalty area and turned around, Saul didn't expect Wen Zhihao to dare to play like this, and subconsciously kicked Wen Zhihao's calf, although the effect was the same as just now, Wen Zhihao fell to the ground, but the consequences were completely different!

"Penalty! The Chinese team has a chance! He Wei suddenly looked forward to the game again. As long as the penalty is scored, the Chinese team still has time to fight for an equaliser.

Wen Zhihao showed a triumphant smile when he got up, and Saul realized what he said just now: "Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to follow me too closely!" What does that mean.

Such a key penalty, everyone look at me, I look at you, and they don't dare to take the initiative to take responsibility. Everyone understands that it's okay to say that this goal is scored, but if the penalty is lost, it will almost bury the team's hope with his own hands, and I am afraid that his entire career will be drowned in the saliva of fans.

Wen Zhihao saw that everyone was so "humble", and he could only take this risk himself.

Fortunately, his psychological quality is strong enough, and in the face of De Gea, who is determined to win, he chose a light spoon penalty and drew a beautiful arc to float into the goal.

In the 68th minute, the score was 1:2, and the Chinese team pulled one back.

This goal not only bought a chance for the Chinese team, but also allowed Wen Zhihao to surpass the already eliminated Lukaku with seven total goals and dominate the scorer list.

In fact, the winner of the Golden Boot for this World Cup has been revealed.
