Chapter 48: The Quarterfinals Begin
"Brother Zhou, does he like to leave a suspense in everything?" Haiyang muttered, and it could be seen that every time Zhou Kai left the matter for the end to say, it made everyone suffer from gains and losses.
"Oh, it's not the first time you've played under Brother Zhou, he's like that." Xiao Yu is much calmer, he thinks that if everything is known in advance, there will be a lot less suspense, and tactics are such a thing, which is originally ever-changing, if it is determined now, it will not be beautiful if it is forgotten or changed when the time comes.
"Xiao Yu, how do you think we are going to play? You are the one we have eaten the most in the face of Bishop Zhou's tactics here. Everyone was looking at Xiao Yu, but the latter's face remained unchanged, Xiao Yu knew Zhou Kai's tactical concept very well.
"Let's watch the video first." Back in the room, there were quite a few people who came in, Xiao Yu plugged his personal hard drive into the TV, this is the information given by Yu Ting just now, which contains all the videos of the group stage.
"Huh? There are other teams too, yes? Shall we stop by and take a look? "I just wanted to watch the French game, but I found that all the games from Group A to D in the group stage were available, which couldn't help but arouse everyone's interest, you know, they just heard that Group B was **** and South Korea, everyone was extremely interested in this result.
"Let's take a look at Group B first." Xiao Yu still knows everyone very well, and to be honest, he also has great doubts about the results of Group B.
The picture suddenly changed, the game in Group B is indeed a lot more exciting to be honest, not to say how high their level is, but to be fierce enough, the first game is the youth of England encountered ****.
England is known for its tough style of play, and their youth is no exception, although there are no very famous stars in the team, but their strength is average, and the action is very open, at the beginning, England also firmly pressed the **** head, because it is a live video, the explanation is not clear, mainly most people do not understand, but the cheers on the scene still make everyone's spirits lifted.
"That black monkey is actually the goalkeeper?" Jiang Lin, the absolute core of the Chinese central defender, in front of the **** Jin Chang, that is, when the black monkey scolded, he once thought that the other party was a striker, after all, the black monkey was black and strong, and he met the physical requirements of a striker, at this moment Jiang Lin saw that the other party was actually a goalkeeper, and he almost didn't react.
And Jin Chang in the video does have proud capital, due to England's big offensive football, wave after wave at the beginning, like a tide of attack, almost let the **** people sink, but I didn't expect that Jin Chang held on to the past with his own strength, tried to keep the door open, and after dedicating several wonderful saves, he stimulated his teammates with a roar, which is the role of Mr. Key.
"The black monkey still has some strength, do you think we will meet with **** in the top four?" The ocean took out another cigarette, staring at the TV screen at the moment, commenting faintly; I don't know if the two teams have a heart, and the quarterfinals haven't been played yet, so I'm thinking about the opponents of the semifinals.
"Well, if they can get rid of the hosts, then we do play the semi-finals with them." Xiao Yu didn't look back to find the ocean, he just stared at the TV, and at this moment, Xiao Yu saw the reason for England's failure after the England team's repeated unsuccessful attacks on the TV.
It's too hard! I don't know if it's because of the youth of the England team, or because of their tactical arrangement, England's style of play is too aggressive, Xiao Yu is relieved, and finally knows why **** won this game.
The first half ended in the story of the tip of the gun and the thick shield, **** and England exchanged blank rolls in the first half, the picture turned again, the second half began, there was no personnel change on both sides, but **** has been different in momentum.
In the 53rd minute, England's army pressed unsuccessfully, **** found a good opportunity for the first counterattack in this game, to be honest, the counterattack was not fast, more like a careless organization, but it was such a change in rhythm, England almost suffered a bitter fruit, and finally the **** striker failed to grasp the opportunity in the penalty area, and hit the ball in the side net in a panic.
Although the ball did not score, the applause and cheers at the scene gave them encouragement, and the **** seemed to have found a sense of victory.
Finally in the 75th minute, **** a targeted substitution, replaced by the No. 11 striker, scored the only goal of the game, in the context of the arrogant expression of the English, the thin **** No. 11 striker found the landing point of the ball in the penalty area, and sent the ball into the England goal with his toes.
The game was like that, the ball was round, anything could happen, the whole game was played with passion, England didn't insult their attacking style of football, but in the end they lost the game, even if they conceded a goal.
"It's a pity for England, **** luck is really good." This is Haiyang's opinion, just when I watched the video, Haiyang put himself in the shoes of the comparison, and found that if England came to attack like this, he might not be able to block it, and as an important fulcrum of Huaxia's defense, his prediction is very important, that is to say, the pressure given by England on offense is very huge.
But Xiao Yu does not agree with the ocean's statement, maybe England is indeed unique in attack, but it does not mean that the whole game can be forced into a tactical system for 90 minutes, such as this game, the first half tasted the sweetness, then England should actually be vigilant in the second half, although they have an advantage, but they did not turn the advantage into a victory, which is the key factor for the England team to lose, and ****, although it looked embarrassed in the first half, but in the second half they made timely adjustments, Whether it is psychologically or tactically, this adjustment makes them comfortable in dealing with incoming attacks, and they are also comprehensive in counterattacking, and this transformation allows them to win in the end.
"Next game, I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that the strikers of both teams are rubbish." Lao Tian was silent for a long time, as the so-called position is in his position, Tian Lin's position is the striker, he pays more attention to the offensive practices of the two teams, and then also puts himself into it to see what should be done at that time, and Lao Tian, after watching the game, domineeringly thinks that the forwards of both teams are brainless......
"Let's keep an eye on France." Although a game can not represent anything, but Xiao Yu still found the **** football concept from it, this is a team with flexible tactics and a very tough style, their head coach is very good at grasping the situation on the field, although they do not have any good cards in the team, but football is not a game of fighting stars and fighting personal strength, in the final analysis, this is still a team sport.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, I watched all the videos of the group stage, and I also had a basic understanding of each team.
"I want to say, are you hungry? Thirsty? Lao Tian, who doesn't smoke, looked at the cigarette butts of an ashtray and looked at the group of smokers speechlessly.
The next day, less than 48 hours before the start of the game, there was no feeling in the group stage, but as soon as it came to the knockout round, a slightly tense atmosphere quietly came to everyone's side.
Zhou Kai's room has once again become a small tactics room, and in the tactics room at this moment, Zhou Kai is also finalizing the final tactics, don't think that there will be many people, in fact, only Xiao Yu is by his side.
"Xiao Yu, I watched it for a day yesterday, what do you think of France?" Zhou Kai made a pot of tea, handed Xiao Yu a cup, and took a sip of the tea in his hand, not to mention, following Zhou Kai, Xiao Yu gradually liked the feeling of drinking a cup of tea in a foreign country.
"I watched three of France's group stage games yesterday...... Xiao Yu was confident, and when he heard Zhou Kai's inquiry at this moment, he was also an export, obviously prepared, Xiao Yu believes that this year's France is really not to be afraid of, to put it bluntly, as long as Huaxia does not mess up, according to the previous level to meet hard, there is no problem at all, the most important thing is to play yourself.
"Damn! How do you ask me to set up tactics like this? Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Kai who was suddenly furious in surprise, and secretly said What kind of trouble is Brother Zhou going to make? Plain shouting, like a thunderclap on the ground, do you think you are Lu Tiha?
"Actually, you're right, this year's French lads are really not good, but enough attention is still needed, and I heard that they have made some temporary changes, no matter what, anyway, I'm going to arrange tactics with you like this, cough! Every position picks up the spirit of 12 points, the striker remembers to stand in the forward position, and the midfielder does not run to the backline, especially the defender! Remember not to run to the corner flag and stand......" Listening to Zhou Kai's serious nonsense, Xiao Yu reluctantly lit a cigarette, or smoking and drinking tea is more in line with such an embarrassing situation.
There were less than 24 hours left before the game, and when he got an opportunity to train and familiarize himself with the competition venue, Zhou Kai hurriedly pulled everyone to arrive; The tense atmosphere is a bit more and more intense, taking the opportunity to practice tactics, Zhou Kai also let each coach play their own strengths to do the players' mental homework, while Xiao Yu, Haiyang and others, who have attracted the attention of coaches, took advantage of the interval between exercises and breaks to smoke on the sidelines, and there was no tension at all.
"These guys' hearts are made of stone, right?" How many coaches can't stand it, haven't you seen that some players are so nervous that their feet are shaking? Why are these main forces so calm.
"Alright, let's gather here." When the training time came, the staff was going to come over to catch up with people, and Zhou Kai took advantage of the end of today's training to gather everyone to prepare to say a few words.
"Bunnies! The quarterfinals are coming! The first sentence is so imposing, Zhou Kai's short hair is not short, this time is too busy, he doesn't have time to tidy himself up.
"Got it! Bunny head! Xiao Yu took the lead, and a group of people echoed, who asked Brother Zhou to call everyone a rabbit cub, this response made Zhou Kai's face change several times, and then laughed with everyone.
"You bunnies, give me a good kick tomorrow, isn't it an quarterfinals, our goal is the championship! Don't play a fart with the champion! A few words of ridicule and encouragement, Zhou Kai obviously felt that everyone's atmosphere began to relax, Zhou Kai also knew that it was not okay to be too relaxed, but it was too nervous, and it was even more not.
Suddenly, a bell rang, it was Zhou Kai's phone, and the ringing of this bell also made several people present chuckle in their hearts, as if every time Zhou Kai's bell suddenly rang, something terrible would happen.
"Hello? Where? ”
"Hello sir, I'm a ...... of Huaxia Wanda Group" liar? Zhou Kai's face suddenly became very exciting, and then he wandered among the players and coaches, and after looking for a while, he found a bald coach, said a word into the phone, and then handed the phone to the bald coach.
"Tell him that your surname is Wang ......"
