A goal was recovered before half-time, and this kind of goal was enough to make each of us depressed for a long time! If we can hold on for a minute longer, and then we make some adjustments at half-time, it won't be easy for them to score right away in the second half! However, the Belarusian team scored a goal before the break, which will give them a morale boost, and at halftime, they may be planning how to launch a counterattack in the second half!

If you want to stop their attack, if you want to interrupt their wonderful plan, the arrangement at halftime is crucial! As I walked to the break room sweating profusely with everyone, I wondered what kind of tactics Coach Cork would put in place to stifle the Belarusians' counter-attack at the start of the second half......

I have some responsibility for conceding this goal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIf I had been able to place a tall man over 1.9 meters in the middle of the wall while directing my teammates, maybe Hleb's shot would have been rubbed off. I am only about 1.8 meters tall, with my height to rub this ball, can only barely leave a mark on the forehead, the result led to Hleb's successful shot, this elevator ball caused a considerable degree of chaos in front of the goal, and most importantly it directly caused our great goalkeeper Handanovic to fall to the ground, which laid a hidden danger for the back defense! Hleb just seized the opportunity for Handanovic to fall to the ground, and shot directly at the goal without stopping, and scored this long-range shot! Although the shot is far away, with so many factors on the left and right, scoring goals becomes inevitable!

My heart is very remorseful! Why can't he better defend Hleb and give him two chances to get up in a row! If I could have pressed up quickly and fought with Hleb for the ball when Cesar was kicking out, then Hleb wouldn't have been able to hit the goal, he would have to outrun me in the high ball! Even if he outplayed me in the battle for the high ball, the possession was no longer at his feet, and even if the attack continued, it could not directly form a shot on goal, and Handanovic could calmly get up...... As a non-defensive player, it is really difficult for me to comprehend these defensive details without the experience of the game!

Back in the lounge, Coach Cork looked at the depressed looks of us one by one and smiled: "I say, do you all think we are losing?" We're 2:1 ahead now, cheer up! ”

Because of the goal scored before the break, we players were really depressed, but suddenly heard Coach Koke say this, think about it seems to be the same, although the time when we were chased back a goal is very unfortunate, but after all, we are the leading side, the real pressure is not us, but the Belarusian team! They had to think of ways to attack us in the second half, but we were still comfortable on the counter-attack. The counter-attack in the first half was not unsuccessful, and if Novakovic's header hadn't hit the post, we would have gone 3-0 up. However, such a thing as hitting the goalpost actually proves that our tactics are actually right, the Belarusians are pressing, the defense is naturally empty, and we can naturally play more beautiful counterattacks! Although the score is 2 to 1, the tactical advantage is still us!

Coach Kork added: "Guys, although we are now leading by one goal, objectively speaking, the Belarusians scored a goal before the break, and they are really in high spirits. At such a time, it is really necessary to defend well at the beginning of the second half, lock up Hleb's line of possession and delivery, and this task is left to Zago Yeruhovic. In the first half, although Zagoyeruhovic made some mistakes in the free-kick volleying wall, and did not take the initiative to realize the need to actively tackle Cesar when he kicked it out, but overall, he was successful in defending Hleb, especially those few tackles, which were very beautiful. As for the foul in the last tackle, it's a matter of experience, after all, it's a young player, but you need to know that you've got a yellow card on you now, and in the second half of the game, you still try not to tackle as much as possible. ”

"Coach Koke, but my biggest reliance on defense and the biggest deterrent is my 'wave tackle', if I can't tackle, Hleb will attack me unscrupulously, and although I don't lose to him in terms of speed, but the technique is far behind, when I defend him, if I just use general winding, stealing the ball and snatching the ball at my feet, it is difficult to beat him." I'll be honest, Coach Cork was lost in thought when he heard me say that......

"How about we put Asimovic for Ljubyankic, put Pechnik back in the midfield position to defend, Asimovic in the forward position, and free up Zagojeruhovic up front? In this way, we have such a point of great speed as Zagoyerukhovic on the counter-attack, and since there is no need to defend Hleb, Zagoyeruhovic no longer needs to use tackles. Ljubiyankic has always been a weak point in terms of fitness, and after hitting for so long in the first half, it was no problem to take a break from the game. And Asimovic came off the bench in the second half to play the forward midfield, which is also trustworthy. "It's the voice of captain Cesar, who knows that I come from a striker's background, and this offer is very good for me.

"No! In this proposal, first of all, Petchnik's defensive ability is not enough to keep Hleb, his speed is a hard injury, and Hleb's speed is fast, and he was easily passed by Hleb in the first half. Secondly, Ljubyankic was outstanding today and I can't substitute another player who has performed so well unless his fitness is really no longer sustainable. In the end, although Zagoyerukhovich has speed in the attack, he has no skills, and it is easy to waste opportunities and hit the self-confidence of the whole team! So, Zago Yerukhovic must stay in the midfield position, this is my decision! Coach Cork looked me in the eye and said, "If you really think you can't hold Hleb with your average defense, then use your 'wave tackle'. But you have to remember that if you want to play in a midfielder position, you can only tackle and not have other defensive skills, that's not enough, you need to train yourself in training and games in the future, you know? In the second half of today's game, Zago Yeruhovic, you have to stay in the midfield position, defend Hleb full-time, and wait until the next game, I want to see your improvement in delicate football skills! ”

"Yes!" I am very surprised and grateful for Coach Kork's words and affection. I swore to myself that in the second half, I would lock up Hleb! Also, I didn't use the wave tackle as much as possible......

"Also, in the second half I did have to make a substitution - I was going to use Asimovic for Ilic!"

"What? Coach, are you crazy? Our great goalkeeper Handanovic was shocked and said: "We defended well in the first half, leading by one goal, and in the second half we should have continued to play defensive counter-attacking tactics, why would you even think of replacing a full-back and a striker?" Is this the time when we attack? ”

"Handanovic, please pay attention, I'm the manager." Coach Koke said: "I know that my decision will be questioned by some players, but in the first half we took a lot of energy from the Belarusians, and the second half should really be our time to attack. Defensively, the combination of Zago Yerukhovic and Bilsa is trustworthy and can still continue, while Beric and Ljubiyankic's positions will be moved back slightly, and the identities of the two are no longer forwards, but full-backs. In this way, our defense on the side can be more secure, and in the middle, we need to attack to suppress Hleb's attack! Here's another way for me to liberate Zago Yerukhovich! Belarus, they don't have a good midfielder, Hleb has to take care of the defensive position in the midfield. If our attack can't get up, Hleb will attack Zagoyeruhovic with impunity, and only when we play the two strikers will Hleb feel threatened and focus more on defense! In this way, the pressure on our defense will be reduced! ”

"Handanovic, I know you're doing it for the good of the team." Coach Koke said: "I hope you can play better to make up for Zagoyeruhovic's lack of this point. You're our number one player and I trust you a lot. The first goal conceded has nothing to do with you. Come on, let's do it together! ”

"Come on!" Everyone shouted together!
