Volume 4 World Cup Legends Chapter 93 Change of Formation and Surprise

Sweden is not a giant in world football, their best record in the World Cup is the final of the World Cup held in their country in '58, Sweden in Brolin in '94 reached the semi-finals, they are not the favorites in any cup competition, but this Nordic powerhouse can often sweep the weak teams, but also surprise the strong teams into a cold sweat. QuAnBeN。

Swedish football focuses on discipline and moderation, and among the Nordic brothers who advocate aerial bombing, Swedish football is relatively delicate. However, compared with purely technical teams such as Spain and France, Swedish football retains ferocity and passion, and its average height of more than 1.85 meters also gives them air supremacy against any team.

As early as after the Chinese team won the first place in Group F, many Chinese and foreign reporters said that the Swedish team was actually very difficult to play, the Swedish team's body was too good, and the wide open and closed style of play was not conducive to the Chinese team to play intensive defense, and many Chinese reporters even became pro-Japanese at that time, they hoped that the Japanese team could eliminate Sweden, so that the Chinese team would have greater hope of advancing to the quarterfinals (of course, the Japanese team also thought so), but the sky did not follow people's wishes, and finally the Swedish team killed Japan and qualified from Group E.

The Swedish team is certainly not as cool as the Japanese team, but the fans and media of the Chinese team have no complaints, and it has been beyond their expectations to reach the round of 16, and most people think that the Chinese team will go home in three group games, who would have thought that the Chinese team not only advanced, but also squeezed out Spain to advance to the first place in the group.

The match was held at 1 p.m. local time, which was exactly two o'clock in the middle of the night in China, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, who were like doping to stimulate the spirits of the fans, in order to prevent oversleeping, they missed the event that could be once in their lives, and did not rest all night, starting from the first day of dark and staying up until the start of the game.

The quarter-finals between China and Sweden were held at the Estadio de Mineiro, in the city of Belo Horizonte in southeastern Brazil, which could not have been arranged by the Chinese team before the game, but Li Huan's helicopter was a major part of the time, avoiding the traffic congestion caused by the increase in fans, saving energy and energy.

As early as an hour before the game, the 75,783-seat Mineiro Stadium had closed the doors for fans to enter, because all the fans had already been seated, and the fans of the Chinese team who had reached the knockout round for the first time were certainly excited and nervous, and the Swedish fans who were absent from the last World Cup saw that the team had the possibility of going further, and they also came to the stadium early to cheer for their team.

According to statistics, more than 40,000 Chinese fans appeared in the stands, they were uniformly wearing white uniforms, holding a small national flag for a dollar, whether it was men, women and children, their faces were painted with thick red and white oil paint, some of them wrote "eight" on the left face, "strong" on the right face, some people painted Li Huan's name on the body, and some painted Li Huan's portrait on the chest, at this time, Li Huan has become the idol of the whole people, synonymous with Chinese football.

In comparison, Sweden has a little less fans. The yellow camp, which has less than 1,000 people, tried to cheer on the warm-up players, but apart from the more than 40,000 Chinese fans, more neutral fans leaned towards the Chinese team, and the Swedes looked a little outnumbered from the stands.

“…… Players on both sides are warming up, we look at the atmosphere of the stadium, the Chinese team is obviously more popular, whenever there are Chinese players to get the ball, the cheers in the stands are always like a tsunami, the treatment of Swedish players is much worse, but the shouts of neutral fans seem to be shouting Li Huan's name, maybe the Brazilian players can only know Li Huan alone. ”

Duan Xuan looked at the stadium and talked eloquently: "The Chinese team has shown their strength in the previous three group stage games, but the media, fans and bookmakers are not optimistic about the Chinese team, obviously they think that with the strength of the Chinese team, the top 16 is already very against the sky, and even God will be very depressed if they move forward......"

"China's coach Li Huan made a very bold decision, in the face of the tough Viking Sweden, he actually gave up the first three successful starters, and made a bold change, judging from the list we got, the Chinese team played a 4321 formation, the single striker is Xu Yang, Yu Tong and the original striker Zhang Dong acted as a shadow striker behind Xu Yang, three backs: the absolute main force Wu Han dragged back, Liu Chao and Chen Teng in front of Wu Han, among the four defenders, Fan Yang, Li Huan, Xu Bin did not change, But Wang Chunlei was replaced by Feng Liang, the former defender of the Chinese team who has been hidden by Li Huan, but Feng Liang played fullback, and Li Huan came to the position of central defender, which is the biggest change in the Chinese team. The goalkeeper is still Zong Cheng. ”

Then commentators from various countries were discussing the change of formation of the Chinese team, and the German commentator said: "Li Huan has had the experience of playing as a guest central defender and midfielder, and the effect is good, but in order to deal with the Swedish team, he suddenly changed the formation of the first three wins, this gamble is right or wrong, and it can only be tested with the game." ”

England's commentator said: "The Chinese team finally changed formation, Li Huan stood in the middle of the goal, which of course can prevent the Swedish team from using high-altitude bombing and physical force to attack the Chinese team, but it also sacrificed Li Huan's side assists. ”……

At this time, after the national anthems of China and Sweden were played, a burst of warm applause broke out on the field, and the Brazilian referee Luisson blew the whistle in his hand, and the penultimate game of the quarterfinals officially kicked off.

“…… The quarterfinals of the World Cup between China and Sweden have begun, now let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Swedish team, 442 formation, goalkeeper: Isaksson; Defenders: Melborg, Istolovi, Olsen, Stig; Midfielders: Bujasmir, Castrom Jr. Larsenham; Forward: Ibrahimovic Toivonen...... It was the Swedes who kicked off first...... The Vikings are very aggressive, with the 1.95-meter-tall Shen Tayib as a bridgehead in front of them, and they have no scruples to pass the ball inside and outside the Chinese team's penalty area, trying to use Ibrahimovic's ferry to play a fast attack to ......"

“…… It is Li Huan who is staring at Ibrahimovic, Li Huan, who is 1.83 meters tall, is staring at Ibrahimovic who is 1.95 meters and is not at a loss, his strong body and perverted bounce make Li Huan always be able to grab the landing point in front of Ibrahimovic, now we can see Li Huan's painstaking change of formation, the 33-year-old Ibrahimovic is still the most threatening player in the Swedish team, Ibrahimovic's header skills are not very outstanding, on the contrary, he has extremely incredible fancy skills at his feet, except for Li Huan, no one can keep an eye on Ibrahimovic......"

Swedish coach Hamren observed the game situation on the field with a calm expression, but his mood was not calm, it was like the sea churning, as a coach with rich experience, Hamren did not take the head coach of the Chinese team Li Huan too seriously, he thought that Li Huan was also a talented player, and it was impossible to have any experience in coaching the national team, but seeing that Li Huan was just restrained in his tactical play after changing the formation, Hamren was really shocked, because Li Huan changed the formation so boldly, It definitely comes from trusting himself and his opponent's judgment, in other words, Li Huan has seen through his Hamren.

The Swedish team's attempt to use Ibrahimovic to attack quickly went bankrupt, the Chinese team is not conservative today, although the formation they laid out today is flexible, the 21 in front of 4321 can become two wingers and a center forward at any time, and two of the three back midfielders can become two fullbacks, it can be said that today's Chinese team has no intention of defending to the end at all, they are ready to play against the Swedish team.

In the fifth minute, Li Huan predicted in advance, grabbed the ball before Ibrahimovic, and quickly distributed it to the side.

Feng Liang, the fullback who started for the first time, took the ball, and the players of the Swedish team were extremely unfamiliar with Feng Liang's characteristics, Feng Liang used fast and flexible dodge movements to shake off the Swedish team's pressing, and then stepped forward at high speed to launch an assist from the fullback position.

No one thought that Feng Liang's speed would be so fast, no one on the side of the Swedish team could keep up with Feng Liang, Feng Liang took the ball to Sweden's penalty area at high speed, and saw that the Swedish fullback was ready, he did not cross the bottom, but passed to the arc of the big penalty area.

Yu Tong, a midfielder of the Chinese team, went through the human gap like a monkey, followed up quickly, and shot angrily at the ball.

bang

The ball turned into white lightning bolts and smashed through the ten fingers of the unsuspecting Swedish goalkeeper Ixasson, and smashed it onto the crossbar.

A bit of bad luck, the Chinese team's first shot of the opening kick hit the crossbar.

"Ahh Yes! Ahh ”

The Swedish fans in the stands let out a burst of frightened exclamations, and many fans couldn't help jumping up from their seats, the Chinese team's fast attack was really a bit fast, if it wasn't for the luck of the Swedes, they would have conceded the goal by now.

Hamren was also taken aback, and said to the assistant coach next to him: "God! Who is this backup full-back? Why is it so fast,...... This shot is too dangerous, hurry up and check the information of the fullback, his speed is second only to Li Huan, and faster than that left-back Fan, why does Li Huan hide him in front of him...... It really doesn't make sense. ”
