With only half an hour left in the game, the Chinese team equalized in the case of a numerical disadvantage, Mexican coach Osorio couldn't sit still, and replaced two front-court players in a row, striker Vela and forward Elias, the formation began to change to 3-4-3, and the fullbacks on both sides were used as wingers and went all out to attack.

Obviously, Mexico is ready to take a desperate gamble, and Osorio also finds it difficult to make a fuss about the defense to limit the Chinese team, and now he does not have the patience to continue to wait for the opportunity with the Chinese team, he has to take the initiative.

The Chinese team's coping strategy has been agreed upon by Lippi to use the gap between games to quickly communicate, to control the pace of the midfield to gain the initiative, and at the same time be ready to seize the opponent's loopholes and give a fatal blow.

Lippi instilled in this Chinese team the idea of winning first, rather than the local coach reining in the defense and seeking a draw, even against a team like Mexico.

Although there is one less player on the field, the overall strength of the Chinese team in the midfield is not weak at all, Liang Xin and Zheng Zhizhi are good at attacking and defending, standing in front of the central defender to form a barrier, both of them can be used as the first starting point of the attack when counterattacking, and Wen Zhihao diligently interspersed a wide range between the midfield and the striker, one person played the role of the forward and the striker at the same time, and the opponent as a whole was equal on the field, and there was no disadvantage in numbers.

Mexico's attacking routine is getting simpler and simpler, with crosses from the side, and if they are cleared by the Chinese team, the midfielder will directly follow up to try a long-range opportunity. This kind of attack is not difficult for defenders, as long as they get used to it, it is easy to defend, and the long-range shots of the Mexican players, on the surface, are like a rainbow, but in fact, the shooting data is growing rapidly, as for the actual effect, I really dare not compliment.

Although the Chinese team does not have a lot of ball, the players on the field are more and more confident, and the fans are more and more confident, and the fans are more and more confident, it seems that the ball is falling at the feet of the opponent, but in fact, the momentum on the field is developing in the direction of the Chinese team, and Mexico's offense is becoming more and more of a strong crossbow. The Mexican players have a lot of long-range shooting power, and the intensity of physical confrontation is also rising, but this just shows that the opponent's mentality has become more and more anxious, and it is at the critical point of collapse. They're dying, and it's a victory! ”

Zheng Zhi is also very experienced, and immediately echoed: "Zhihao is right, this is their last offensive, stand your place!" ”

Seventy-five minutes after the game, both sides have reached a period of physical exhaustion, but the Chinese team still has a psychological advantage. It ended in a draw and snatched a point from Mexico, which was perfectly acceptable. Mexico, on the other hand, are suffering mentally and physically, and their mentality crumbles a little as the clock ticks by.

As I have said before, American players are playing with talent and innate spirituality, and Mexico's World Cup squad, many players are playing in their home league or South American league, and they have not received strict tactical literacy in Europe.

Eighty minutes later, Wen Zhihao began to consciously use the psychology of Mexican players, taking the initiative to increase the midfield and backfield, guiding the fullbacks and midfielders to make triangular passes, most of the physical energy of Mexican players were wasted in needless running, emotions gradually began to get out of control, and the final stage of the conflict between the two sides continued, referee Matici became the protagonist on the field, red and yellow cards flew all over the sky, but most of the yellow cards were given to Mexican players, most of them were committed on Wen Zhihao's head, and several fouls were of a bad nature, For example, with obvious injuries such as kicking the calf, Matic was naturally merciless and directly sent the foul player off.

In terms of numbers, they were also pulled back to the same starting line, and Mexico was naturally even more powerless if they wanted to win.

In the end, after a twists and turns, the two sides ended 2:2. Neither side was particularly happy with the scoreline.

He Wei finally summed up the game: "A draw is a bit of a pity, the Chinese team still exposed the old problem of slow heating in the opening stage, and besides, if there is no red card from Zeng Cheng, the Chinese team is likely to achieve a score overtake...... Let's not think about what the outcome will be like against Germany in the next game, but in the past two group games, the performance of the national team is enough to give us confidence in the future. ”

After two rounds of group stage matches, the Chinese team is the most optimistic team among the five Asian teams to qualify, with four points for one win and one draw, and a goal difference of +1, ranking behind the German team that won all two games, while leading Mexico with one point, and leading by three goal difference, the Chinese team only needs one point in the final round to lock in the group qualification. Taking a step back, even if the Chinese team loses, if Mexico can't win the zero points and Sweden, which has already been determined to be out, then the Chinese team can still qualify as second in the group if it loses.

In short, the Chinese team is only one step away from qualifying.

Before the start of the World Cup, almost no media was optimistic about the Chinese team, and the bookmaker unceremoniously placed the odds of the Chinese team to win the championship at the end of the 32 teams.

However, just as Europe and the United States have always misjudged China economically and politically, the national team also slapped the face with a strong performance, shocking foreign journalists.

The strong performance of the national team, although it made Chinese fans collectively proud, there was no comparison, and the feeling was not profound. In the media center of the World Cup, many foreign colleagues greeted them with smiles, and when they first settled in the media center, they were questioned and despised in two completely different scenes. And the work area next to the Chinese media is the Japanese media. They were well respected from the very beginning.

Without a deep experience, Chinese reporters will not have a personal feeling of the meaning of the word strength, and many media privately thank the Chinese team for giving them the capital that they don't have to endure anymore.

This is the reality of a top football platform like the World Cup, giving every player, and even every country, the opportunity to go out into the world with it. At the same time, the law of the jungle, which is more brutal than in other realms, is believed here, and only by showing absolute strength to defeat the opponent can it be worthy of respect.

Today's China has one of the world's best comprehensive strengths in economic, political, military, and scientific and technological aspects, but it has not been able to raise its head for a long time in football, the world's number one sport with the widest audience. The inferiority complex is very heavy.

However, in Russia, Chinese football is going through a process of standing up and looking at the crowd, and being re-recognized by the world, the phoenix nirvana.
