France coach Didier Deschamps did not have the slightest reservation to send all his main forces, with Koscielny partnering Barcelona centre-back Umtiti in the back line, two beast midfielders Pogba and Tiemoue Bakayoko, three attacking fronts Griezmann, Mbappe and Matuidi, and Olivier Giroud in the attack.

Among the starting eleven, all of them are from the top four giants in the five major leagues, and the total value of the eleven is close to 300 million euros! is enough to crush any strong team, even the Brazilian team led by Neymar, who is the most valuable person in the world today, 220 million euros, may not be as starry as the French team.

The reason why France is considered the favourites to win the World Cup is already evident from this aspect. Although football games do not judge heroes by their value, what represents their value is strength.

And the Chinese team is much shabby. Wen Zhihao is the only one who is worth tens of millions of euros. Due to his performances in the Champions League and La Liga for most of the season, Transfermarkt's latest estimate of him has risen to €15 million, and Wen Zhihao's price tag will continue to rise as Atletico's title race grows stronger.

Liang Xin, the second most valuable player in the Chinese team, has a price tag of 5.5 million euros on the Transfermarkt website. The value of other players is also in the range of 1 million to 1.5 million, and this is the return of the Chinese team to the World Cup, which makes everyone's value rise.

The total value of the 11 players on the field of the Chinese team is close to 40 million euros, which is less than a fraction of the opponent France. The gap is obvious.

The reality is here, and both the media and the fans are very open to this game. As long as the national team plays some highlights and plays its due strength, everyone will not be harsh.

Don't seek peace, but strive for light abuse!

Lippi chose a 5-3-2 formation in this game, requiring all players to participate in the defense, and even Wen Zhihao, who has never had special requirements on the defensive end, Lippi also told him to do his best. As for the offensive end, just use long passes to instigate and give the ball to the forward line.

The tactics were indeed conservative, but Lippi took it for granted. The Chinese team invited the French team to warm up, which was to simulate the German team. The iron-blooded style of the Germanic chariot is famous all over the world, and in the face of the super pressure of the world champions, the Chinese team will only be left with a pragmatic choice of shrinking across the board, and they will have to do their best and luck to help them keep the draw. Now it is very necessary to get used to the rhythm of the bus in advance.

Taking advantage of the first kick-off, the Chinese team also played a tentative attack on the French team. However, then the Chinese team began to recycle all the lines, and the French team started the siege mode.

Today, the Chinese team can be said to have retreated very thoroughly, which is different from the first game against the Japanese team. Completely abandoned near the center circle, the first line of defense was laid out thirty-five meters in front of the penalty area. Zheng Zhi, Liang Xin and Wen Zhihao actually form three backs, five defenders are intensively protecting near the penalty area, and the two counterattack points in the front court are Wuqiu Wang and Liu Ruofan, in addition to Wen Zhihao, the two are currently the fastest and most likely to create opportunities in an instant.

The Chinese team's stance on the field was actually close to 8-0-2, with eight men defending and two attacking.

In Lippi's managerial career, no opponent has forced him to use such a formation that almost abandons attacking. When Lippi decided to set up the formation like this before the game, even Madaloni had an expression of discovering a new continent, and it was the first time he had seen such a direct submission after working with Lippi for many years. But he knew better that there was no way around it.

The pressure given by the French team to the Chinese team has always maintained a very high intensity, even if Wen Zhihao recycles to the back position, the defensive system of eight people is still difficult to stop the opponent's wave after wave of attacks, and the gap between the yellow race and the black is intuitively reflected on the field. France's double midfielders Bakayoko and N'Golo Kante did have rough skills at their feet, but they relied on crushing collisions and forced dribbling to open the Chinese team's defense, Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin felt very powerless in front of the black wind duo.

In the face of absolute power, all skills are paper tigers. In the past, Wen Zhihao felt that this was a reckless man who played football and didn't use his brains to believe it. Now he finally realized the pain of having no skill but no power to stop it.

Although it continued to be beaten passively, the overall defense of the Chinese team was not broken up, and the midfielder and the back line, the fullback and the central defender still maintained efficient coordination, and the central defender was able to fill in the position in time to clear the siege at the first time when the fullback was passed. Although the scene was not good-looking, the national team still played something different.

At least the tactical discipline of this team is rare in the national team in the last decade. And there is a high level of mutual trust between the players. Everyone has seen from the camera more than once that the young wingback Deng Hanwen was passed, and after other teammates helped clear the siege, nearby teammates would come up to exchange encouragement in a timely manner, instead of as in the past, the old players would blame the young players, and the bigwigs would shirk each other's responsibilities and even infighting on the field.

The most extreme example is the former national football captain Fan Zhiyi's direct scolding of young international player Liu Yue at the 1996 Asian Cup. As a result, Liu Yue's international career has been high and low since then, and he even retired early and changed careers to comment.

Deng Hanwen is luckier than Liu Yue, Lippi's national team, regardless of seniority and ability, is willing to give young people full opportunities.

Every player on the field of the Chinese team, whether young or veteran, works the field, but the gap in strength is difficult to make up for through hard work. The eight-man defence withstood 40 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment by a group of world-class attackers, conceding twice in the final five minutes of the first half.

The first goal conceded came from a one-on-one PK error between Wen Zhihao and Antoine Griezmann. Griezmann won a single knife in the front court against offside, Wen Zhihao did not suffer in speed, but after all, defense is not his strong point, experience and skills are too lacking, and he was deceived by Griezmann's shot feint. Zeng Cheng was also shaken, and Griezmann just pushed Zeng Cheng in the opposite direction to break the goal.

The second goal had nothing to do with Wen Zhihao, Mbappe scored directly in the penalty area with a one-on-three explosion, which is the hard power of Europe's golden boy.

After falling behind 0:2 at half-time, the fans were relieved that they didn't lose much.

But there are still people who are not at ease, at 0:0, everyone may still have a trace of illusion about the game, but two goals behind, obviously the overall situation has been decided, will the players let go of this breath? Will it collapse in the second half?

No wonder everyone is suspicious, the Chinese team in the past can collapse off a cliff when they are ahead. "Black Three Minutes" and "Golden State Don't Believe in Tears" are clear proofs.

But the performance of the national team once again corrected the mentality of everyone looking through the cracks in the door. Not only did it not collapse, but after Lippi replaced Hao Junmin and He Chao, the defensive aggression was stronger, and there were unexpected gains.

In the 77th minute, the Chinese team counterattacked, after Hao Junmin took advantage of the change of rhythm to come to the front, he took advantage of Kante's laxity and blindfolded a kick on the periphery of the penalty area.

This kick detonated the stands of the Nanning Olympic Sports Center, and also made countless Chinese fans in front of the screen roar emotionally.

PPtV commentator Huang Jianxiang often bursts out golden sentences in the commentary, and this time is no exception. Fans listened directly to him shouting during the live broadcast: "Did you see it? This is the current Chinese team! Never give up, never give up the opportunity to win, when victory becomes a habit, that much-criticized national team will eventually become history. Who else does not support such a national team? Don't love? All distrust can be shut up! To hell with all doubts! ”

Most fans are not as fierce as Huang Jianxiang's rhetoric, but they can also distinguish between right and wrong. The Chinese team is indeed different from the past, full of positive energy on the field.

However, it is difficult for fans who are parents to educate their children in the future, and it is not even easy to find negative teaching materials!
