Chapter 1072: Advance to the Finals!
The Chinese team overtook the score, and the commentator at the on-site commentary seat did not show too much excitement, but focused on commenting on the tacit cooperation of the Chinese team before the goal.
Then there is the invisible tacit understanding between Ailo and Gao Lin, the golden generation of the Chinese team, and the very simple 'two-by-one against the wall' tears up the entire back line of Uruguay.
As for the rest, for Iroh, who is one of the best players in the world, it is very simple.
And the final result was the same, as Aillo's shot hit the far corner and Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera couldn't reach it.
Uruguay were out of touch when they fell behind, as the defenders wanted to compress the space and try not to concede as many goals as possible in the five minutes left in the first half, while the strikers represented by Edinson Cavani and Suarez hoped that the team could give more support to break through the Chinese goal and equalize.
Disunity of thought is a common occurrence on the football field, and it is also the most likely to put the team in a desperate situation, because the disconnection between the middle and back will not only lead to a lack of attacking strength and support in the front, but also the defensive players will lose the assistance of the frontcourt players, and there will be a situation where there is more defense with less.
Pep Guardiola's reading game is super strong, and he immediately sent a signal to the players on the field through full-back Jiang Zhipeng to quickly pass through the midfield, and used the super individual ability of Ailuo, Gao Lin and Hao Junmin in the front court to seek a defensive hole against Uruguay.
Godin worked very hard, but he was the last defender of the team, and he did not dare to press forward without hesitation, because that would lead to a large space behind him being used by the Chinese team, otherwise the score would be expanded to two goals, and the equalizer would be a luxury.
As for qualifying for the final, you can only hope for the 2015 Copa America in Chile, then win the title and represent South America in the 2017 Confederations Cup......
Pep Guardiola's temporary adjustment took effect quickly, and Uruguay's goal immediately became popular, and if it weren't for the concentration of goalkeeper Muslera, the score would have been extended to a two-goal advantage by the Chinese team.
At this time, the more than 10,000 Uruguayan fans in the stands worked very hard, and they wanted to move the players on the field through their singing, so as to play a wonderful attacking combination and equalize the score, so that there is still hope of advancing to the final.
There are even quite a few devout believers who pray to God in the hope that God will bring them luck and equalize the score.
In fact, God has given them a lot of face, in the case of Uruguay's disconnection between the front and back, the Chinese team has consecutive good chances to score, if it were not for Muslera's brave save and the help of the goal post, the score would not have been as simple as 2:1.
As the clock ticked, the Uruguayan fans on the pitch were hoping that they would not concede more goals in the first half.
But...... It seems that God is unhappy with their demands, or disgusted with the frequent harassment of Uruguayan fans.
The Chinese team in the end of the first half of a wave of ordinary attack, Wu Xi, who took the ball in the midfield, looked left and right and did not find a suitable passing angle, so he had to take the ball forward lightly and try to shoot from 30 meters away from the goal to try his luck.
As a result, his luck was really good, the roaring ball hit the thigh of the Uruguayan captain Lugano, who was actively blocking forward, causing the running football to refract, and the fatal thing was that the goalkeeper Muslera had already made a save to the left, and the center of gravity of his body was thrown out directly, and it was too late to change the center of gravity again......
"--Wu Xi's long-range shot produced a refraction!"
With Huang Jianxiang's exclamation, the football crashed into the net slightly to the right in the middle of the goal......
The Chinese team was lucky to lead Uruguay 3:1 and expand the score to two goals.
※※※
Wu Xi was helpless about this lucky goal, but it did not affect his celebration of the goal, and the two-goal lead early in the first half meant that it was only a matter of time before they qualified for the final of this Confederations Cup.
Of course, qualifying for the Confederations Cup final is provided they don't make low-level mistakes in the remaining 45 minutes.
At the same time, the stands of the Arena Mineiro have long since turned into a sea of red, where the five-star red ball flutters high in the stands, becoming the most dazzling scenery in the stadium.
In the second half, Uruguay had to increase their attacking intensity, otherwise they would have no hope of progressing to the final.
But the next problem is that the Chinese team's midfield control is much stronger than Uruguay's, and if you want to increase the intensity of attack, you must control the midfield, otherwise increasing the investment in attack will only increase the risk of conceding goals in your own goal.
However, because the Chinese team has a two-goal lead, Guardiola must take into account the Confederations Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium three days later to save energy.
Therefore, Pep Guardiola's requirements for the second half of the game are to control the football more at their feet and consume as much game time as possible.
Fast on, 70 minutes in the blink of an eye, and with only 20 minutes left in the game, the Uruguayan coach used up all three substitutions to step up the attack.
Pep Guardiola replaced Gao Lin and Hao Junmin-for-tat, and replaced them with more defensive midfielders Zhao Xuri and 'Chinese Gattuso' Cai Huikang.
But his substitution was not just a defensive effort, but a complete release of the previous two-back combination of Huang Bowen and Wu Xi, so that they could gain more freedom and use Titi-Taka's tactics to the fullest.
※※※
Next, Pep Guardiola's successive substitutions of Gao Lin and Hao Junmin did not cause the Chinese team's attack to deteriorate, but because of Aillo's erratic movement in the front, it brought great threat to the Uruguayan backline.
In order to strengthen the attack, Uruguay only has three defenders left in the backfield, but there must be one defender in the center circle, and the other two defenders must not be too open, because that will be used by Elo's speed.
However, the problem is that the positions between each other are too tight and will be used by the speed of the two wings of the Chinese team, especially the right fullback of the Chinese team, Zhang Linpeng, who is extremely physical and fast, and can effectively assist Aiello during the Chinese team's defensive counterattack, so that Uruguay's attacking players can not devote much attention to the attack, resulting in the quality of the attack can not go up for a long time.
In addition, in the last ten minutes of the game, Guardiola replaced Huang Bowen with the fast Wu Lei to increase the speed of the counter.
With this substitution, the Chinese team's rapid counter-attacking tactics became richer, so that the two Uruguayan full-backs did not dare to press too deeply, for fear of being used behind them......
In the end, the Chinese team relied on three goals in the first half to defeat Uruguay and take the lead in advancing to the final!
