At halftime, Huang Jianxiang was looking at the statistics of the first half of the game. In terms of running distance, the Chinese team reached 8,000 meters per capita, which is 8,000 meters when the two central defenders of the Chinese team did not run much. The average distance run per capita in Ukraine is also more than 7,000 meters. Prior to this World Cup, the world record for distance traveled in a single race was set by David Beckham in 2001 at World Cup qualifiers in England and Greece – 16,100 metres. In the Premier League, where the most intense runs are the teams that run the longest each year, the average distance they run is less than 12,000 metres. The 10,000m world record was set on August 26, 2005 by Kenenissa of Ethiopia. Becquerelle set the 26:17.53, but in football, athletes are not running at a constant speed like the 10,000-meter run, they are more accelerating, sprinting, taking two steps, and sprinting again. This is also the reason why Zidane and other Real Madrid superstars insisted on finding Lu Hai to train after seeing the video of the Chinese team's game. Now every player in the Chinese team except Yang Jie can't run to death in any other team, even Yang Jie's physical fitness can reach the average running distance of 8,000 meters per World Cup.
Now, Channel 5 and Channel 1 should be putting ads, and since Lu Hai led the Chinese team, the halftime of the national team game has been occupied by advertising. Sometimes, to punish a free kick, corner kick or the like, CCTV will put a 5-second or 10-second advertisement in the stitches, and fans have protested against this many times, but for the sake of small money, CCTV sincerely admits its mistakes and resolutely does not change every time. Huang Jianxiang decided to tell the audience this data at the beginning of the second half, so that the audience would know that the Ukrainians were dragged to death by the Chinese team with running.
In the Ukrainian dressing room, the Ukrainian head coach Bloshin had a gloomy face and did not say a word. If there is a problem with the tactics, you can change the tactics, and if the personnel are not well matched, you can change the players, but if there is a problem with physical fitness, he will not have any way. After the half-time break, the Ukrainian players can recover some fitness, and Ukraine still has three substitutions to replace players who are not in good shape. But now the Ukrainian team is lagging behind, and Ukraine needs to counterattack, but the Ukrainian team does not have the physical strength to counterattack. The Ukrainian team gritted its teeth and began to attack for 5 to 10 minutes in the second half, plus the 3 new players on the field, they could attack for 15 minutes, but after these 10 to 15 minutes, the Ukrainian team's tactics were only to shrink in the penalty area, waiting for the Chinese team to besiege. But otherwise, Ukraine would be tantamount to giving up the game. The old man gritted his teeth and decided to bet on whether the 10 to 15 minutes would be a miracle. As for the last half hour, or even the long extra time, Brosin couldn't take care of it.
The Chinese players are also tired, and they are not iron-cast, but they are far from being as exhausted as the Ukrainians, except for Yang Jie and Zhao Xuri, the other players are recovering with the help of doctors.
Lu Hai hurried to talk about tactics to the players: "In the second half, the Ukrainians will definitely attack for a while. We still remember the three sets of counterattack tactics we practiced in the past two days, and we have a chance to give them a chance. "In order to adapt to the situation that Yang Jie was seen to die, Lu Hai has taken out the three sets of counterattack tactics that he had practiced before several times in the past few days, and he has also used them many times in the dream simulation competition." No matter what the result, when the Ukrainians don't have the physical strength, don't let up, rush up and press them into the door and beat me. When the time comes, our formation will change. Zheng Zhi, I'll replace you in the second half around 20 minutes, Jin Yushang; Xiaoting, you and Xu Ri play center back, Yang Jie plays back, and Hai Bin plays right back. I'm going to bring on players who are out of energy when the time is right, so don't worry about your fitness, just push up. ”
Lu Hai said as he drew the adjusted formation of the players on the blackboard:
Defenders: Sun Xiang, Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting, Zhou Haibin
Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Yang Jie, Shao Jiayi, Lei Heng
Forwards: Zhang Yi, Li Jinyu
"Our formation says it's 442, but it's actually 262. Lei Heng and Junmin, you interject more, especially Lei Heng, you have to dare to rush into the penalty area with the ball. Our four defenders are divided into two groups, Haibin and Xu Ri are in one group, Sun Xiang and Xiaoting are in one group, you can discuss it yourself, only one group is allowed for each attack, and the other group is guarding in the back. ”
In international football, most of the players who pass long balls are placed in the position of the midfield, such as: Pirlo, Beckham. But Yang Jie's previous physical fitness was really not suitable for the back waist, but like the second half of this game, you can let Yang Jie give it a try, and in the dream simulation game, Yang Jie's back waist is still different.
Lu Hai looked at the players: "Do you understand?" ”
"Got it!" The players replied loudly.
At the beginning of the second half, the Ukrainian team mustered up morale and rushed to the Chinese team's half, and the Chinese team retreated to their own half in order to open up space to counterattack.
In the 51st minute, Shepchenko received a pass from Gusin and hit a low flat ball near the penalty spot that was punched by the preoccupied Li Kui. It was the first time that the Ukrainian team shot within the range of the goal frame, Shepchenko hugged his head in frustration, he knew that this was probably his last shot in the World Cup, he thought about the shot carefully, he found that he handled the ball perfectly, the power was not too great, but the shot was very sudden and the angle was also very tricky. To Shepchenko's surprise, the goalkeeper seemed to know the angle at which he was going to shoot when he got his feet. The Chinese team did not show any outstanding ability of the goalkeeper in the group stage, but now Shepchenko feels that the goalkeeper of the Chinese team is likely to be underestimated by everyone.
After this goal, the Ukrainians seemed to see the light of day in the goal, and they attacked harder. In 54 minutes, the Ukrainian team began to make substitutions, No. 18 Nazarenko, No. 22 Svidsky, and No. 21 Rotan replaced the 34-year-old veteran Gushin, No. 4 Timoshschuk, and No. 8 Shelaev. The Ukrainians are going to give it a go, they have no way out.
In the 57th minute, the Chinese team's counterattack routine ended with Shao Jiayi's long pass and Hao Junmin's catching the ball out of bounds in a wild run.
At this time, the Chinese team began to make substitutions, and Li Jinyu replaced Zheng Zhi. Lu Hai found through the eye of God that the old knee injury of Ukrainian central defender No. 17 Vasychuk had a tendency to recur, Lu Hai decided to replace in advance, and called Lei Heng while he was substitution: "Their knee injury on the 17th is about to be committed, you know what to do!" ”
Lei Heng first looked at the field, determined who the 17th was, and then nodded: "Got it." "Lei Heng has unconditional trust and admiration for his master.
After kicking off again, the Chinese team completed the change of formation, and Ukraine was confused for a while because of this change of formation, and Lovoning, who originally followed Yang Jie, lost his way all of a sudden, and Yang Jie actually ran to the position of the back waist.
