"Li Guo, aren't you in a hurry?" Chen An covered his mouth and asked softly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hurry!"

'But I have to pretend to be the players on the pitch because if I act in a hurry, their mentality will be out of balance.

Chen An said with admiration: "Li Guo, you are still such a thief." ”

"you, by the way, you're the second assistant coach, now hurry up and give me a useful idea, otherwise I'll fire you."

"Hehe, do you still have the heart to tease me? I don't know who was fired after the game,"

Seeing that Li Guo stopped talking, Chen An continued: "Why don't I call Robin over?" ”

"No, Dutt's pre-match tactical preparation is great, but he's a bit rigid and directing on the spot isn't his characteristic."

This Chen An also understands that for example, if Li Guo is Han Xin, then Robin Dutt is Ma Yan, and it is okay to be a staff officer.

Chen An retreated silently, and now only Li Guo was standing on the side of the court, he was thinking, thinking about how to enter Italy again.

"Big Sam, don't you often beat the strong when you are in the Premier League, you must have a way."

Sam Allardyce said: "Li Guo, let me give you an example, the strong team in the Premier League is like beating someone with a stick, the stick is hard, you can dodge, but Italian football is like holding a net, when the Italians throw the net over, how do you dodge?" ”

Allardyce's analogy is simple to understand, and Li Guo understands, but Li Guo has never given up these two words in his dictionary, no matter how powerful the opponent is.

"Big Sam, I understand the truth, then I will also tell you a truth, that is, no one in this world cares what the truth is, but only cares about what you do, people will only remember those who dare to think and dare to do, and no one will care about people with a lot of excuses."

Allardyce was silent, he didn't expect Li Guo to say such a thing, "Okay, then I'll think about it." ”

But before Allardyce could figure out a way, the Chinese team's backline conceded the ball again, this time it was Marchisio who shot the world wave outside the penalty area, and the shot in the arc of the penalty area hung directly in the upper corner of the goal, Wang Dalei couldn't reach it, 2 to 1, Italy overtook it.

Within 5 minutes, Italy scored two goals in a row, if the first goal was a pity for the fans, then the second goal was a little helpless, in fact, everyone faintly predicted this goal, Italy scored the first goal after the attack wave after wave after wave, the Chinese team can only passively defend, it can be said that the loss of the goal is a matter of time.

Italy is celebrating, the Chinese players are bending over and panting, and playing with the Italians is really tiring! Turning his head and seeing that the Italians seemed to have won the game, the players were not convinced, at this time the players looked at Li Guo together, their eyes were full of ardent hope, Li Guo has brought too many changes and miracles to Chinese football since he took office, can it be continued this time?

Looking at the eager gazes cast by the disciples, Li Guo blamed himself a little, "Is there really nothing I can do?" Are we really kneeling in front of the Italian chain football? ”

Li Guo's first thought was that the loser would not lose, he gave the player a thumbs up and affirmed the player's performance, and then Li Guo began to incite the fans and let everyone cheer for the Chinese team.

Under the encouragement of Li Guo, the atmosphere of the scene began to be lively again, and bursts of cheers of "the Chinese team rises" came and went, and under the encouragement of the fans, the players straightened their waists and held their heads high.

Li Guo searched in his mind, hoping to find a little useful information, and suddenly Li Guo thought of the next game, which was the group stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, New Zealand drew 1-1 with Italy, and finally that game dragged Italy down, and the defending champions were eliminated after the group stage.

Before the game, public opinion was also one-sided favoring Italy, Italy is the defending champion, and New Zealand is a team that will have a hard time reaching the World Cup, but the final result was unexpected, and Li Guo is carefully recalling that game.

That game seemed to be played by New Zealand with a long pass, which was very simple, but very direct, and New Zealand's goal should have been a high ball into the Italian penalty area, and finally scored in a chaotic battle.

When Li Guo was thinking about that game, the first half was over, Li Guo did not go back to the locker room, but handed over the team to Chen An, and sat in the coach's seat alone, thinking carefully, drawing on the paper at hand while thinking, and trying to outline the details of that game.

*****

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team changed two people in a row, Hao Junmin replaced Sun Jihai, Gao Lin replaced Shen Rui, the formation did not change, Chen Green changed to Shen Rui's position to play right forward, Gao Lin played center.

On the Italian side, Casirazi stood still and was clearly pleased with the performance of the Italian players in the first half.

At the start of the second half, the Italians' formation was clearly recycled, and it seemed that the Italians were very confident that they were holding on to a 2-1 scoreline, after all, the defense is the country's most famous symbol after pizza and pasta.

On the Chinese team's side, Li Guo's tactics are very clear, Hao Junmin and Chen Green are both very sharp players who break through and cross, Gao Lin is tall and big, and this arrangement is to play high.

Hao Junmin's side was still a little nervous at first, Chen Green's side passed a few threatening shots, but Gao Lin in the middle was high, as the game progressed, Chen Green's physical fitness dropped very much, and he had just recovered from injury before the game, although there was Li Guo's healing potion, but it was still more or less affected.

Time flowed like water, ticking and ticking, 50, 60, 70, 80, and the game reached 80 minutes, the score was still 2-1, and Italy was ahead.

At this point, even the most determined fans began to waver, and Italy was like a mountain in front of the Chinese team.

Li Guo was looking at his watch, Li Guo's heart was beating fast at this time, the game had reached 86 minutes, plus injury time, the time left for the Chinese team may not exceed 10 minutes.

86,

87,

88,

89,

90,

Every minute since then, Chinese fans have counted on their fingers, and everyone wants time to pass slowly.

The fourth official held up a sign and made three minutes of stoppage time, leaving only three minutes left for the Chinese team.

At this time, the shouts of the fans rang out in the audience, but it was not "Come on the Chinese team", but "Li Guo don't go", Li Guo was very moved in his heart, with these fans, everything has no regrets.

At this moment, Chen Green broke through and was pulled down by an Italian defender, and the Chinese team won a free kick in the corner of the penalty area.

Li Guo waved his hand and asked the Chinese team players to go up, Yin Di, Zhou Dun, and even goalkeeper Wang Dalei also went up, leaving only two fullbacks behind - Geng Chong, Mu Fei, and then Li Guo pointed to Artemisia Junmin, and this free kick was punished by Artemisia Junmin.
