Draw can qualify for the Chinese team is a curse that lasts for decades, head coach Gao Hongbo has palpitations, he has witnessed as China's main striker as a draw is equal to out, is a witness to history, now as the head coach he must lead by example, with his own behavior to infect the players, to avoid them into a dead end of thinking......

When the Chinese team was preparing for the final round of the group stage, many foreign media from China interviewed Ailuo, and the topic was related to the black history of the Chinese team.

However, in the face of these topics, he raised the corners of his mouth and pointed comfortably to the side tattoo on the lower leg of his bare right foot, and said confidently: "My storage zài is to break a qiē record, as for those so-called black histories, after many years, they are just jokes after our Chinese tea and dinner......"

Thanks to the efforts of Eillo, many players with negative feelings in the team are full of positive energy in an instant, especially when it comes to losing to the German team due to luck, and they are full of confidence!

So is it difficult to win against Serbia, who lost to Ghana?

In the Serbian team, Ielo also has a lot of acquaintances, the last group game against him Ivanovic is a Chelsea teammate, Stankovic is the core of Inter Milan's midfield, in Valencia has played in the Champions League four times, and the main central defender Vidic is more familiar, in the Chelsea period against Manchester United, I don't know how many times he was abused......

It is worth mentioning that two days before the start of the game, the media tried to interview Ivanovic and Vidic, who are the most reliable players in Serbia's solid backline, and it can be said that whether they can hold the offensive of the Chinese team depends on the specific performance of the two of them, but both are afraid of Aillo, especially Vidic......

Nemanja Vidic's pinnacle of his career came in the two seasons when United finished runners-up in a row, but he was the supporting actor in every game against Chelsea, complementing Elo's strength.

As Iro's teammate, Ivanovic naturally has the most direct understanding of Iro's abilities.

Half a month ago, when Iroh returned to the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the French team, head coach Antich found Ivanovic for the first time, wanting to understand Ilo's weaknesses for the first time, but Ivanovic gave a clear path equal to no road - luck and fouls.

In other words, Serbia wants to limit Ailo, and there is no chance of successfully defending Ailo except for never-ending fouls and enough luck......

So when the reporter interviewed Vidic and Ivanovic, both of them only responded in a coping style and did not dare to accept the interview in depth.

The final Group D match between China and Serbia against fellow Germany and Ghana is scheduled for 8:30 p.m., which is more suitable for high-quality football matches than the hot afternoon games, but the best places to play are the seaside cities of Durban and Port Elizabeth, where you can feel the sea breeze from the Indian Ocean......

Group D is known as the most bizarre group, naturally the most attention, no one can accurately predict the final promotion team, they only know that China and Germany are the two teams with the highest chance of qualifying, but football matches can not use the odds to judge the outcome of a game, can only wait for the end of the game...... to know.

Before the game, half of the world's top 10 bookmakers offered Germany and Serbia slightly ahead of the odds to qualify from Group D......

Among them, only William Hill and Ladbrokes are optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team to qualify, and the German team has advanced to the round of 16.

※※※

Compared with the previous round win over Ghana, the Chinese team has made two changes to the lineup, with veteran Sun Xiang replacing Jiang Zhipeng, who is injured, and Yu Hanchao replacing Hao Junmin, who has accumulated two yellow cards and is automatically suspended for one game.

Cervili also presented the strongest lineup, but the formation was relatively conservative, goalkeeper Stojkovic, defenders Kolarov, Vidic, Subotic and Ivanovic, midfielders Stankovic, Lazovic, Petrovic, Kucmanlovic, Krasic, and the forward is Zhikic.

The outcome of the game was very important for both sides, and the pre-game atmosphere was quite depressing, with the Chelsea team-mates of Iroh and Branislav Ivanovic simply nodding their heads in the pre-game warm-up.

This shows the importance of the final round of the group stage......

A draw is acceptable for the Chinese team, but for Serbia, which is at a disadvantage on goal difference, there is only elimination, so it must be won!

Therefore, Serbian head coach Antic has adjusted the starting lineup, from a balanced 442 attack and defense to a 451 that is more inclined to defensive counterattacks.

In the first half hour of the game, countless commentators on the FIFA record got a starting list, and they were all puzzled by Antich's adjustment, Serbia, which must win to advance to the round of 16, should put on a more strategic 433 formation, what the hell is the 451 formation?

"The starting line-ups for both sides are now in my hands, and the surprise is that Antici has put out a defence-oriented four-five formation, and Stankovic, who played in the No. 10 position in the first two games, will return to the No. 4 position, partnering with Lazovic and Petrovic in the back three, and the attack will only rely on Kucmanlovic, Krasic and Jovanovic ......"

The commentator of Serbian national television said with a frown.

Immediately, the guest commentator, Serbian legend Mihajlovic, said with a smile: "In fact, Antić's arrangement also has a certain reason, Ai's personal ability to take the ball and cut inside is super strong, if the defense of the two people close to Ivanovic or the back Petrovic is difficult to restrict, and it will also cause the defense of the local position to leak, don't forget that the German team and the Ghana team lost the ball, because of the loss of one or the other caused by the loss of the defensive leakage, if there are three defensive players in the middle, then the defensive pressure in other positions will be relieved." , in the face of the Chinese team, we should play a defensive counterattack......"

Zhan Jun, who was sitting in the commentary seat at the scene, got the starting list of both sides, and laughed at a glance: "Serbia is really a magical country, the 23-person squad has 18 players with the word 'odd', and the players with 'Vicky' have 11 players, of which there are 10 players with the word 'odd' in the starting list in my hand......"

Shen Fangjian's characteristic big voice smiled: "That's true, but the Serbian 'Qi' is to commemorate the surname of the ancestors, and it has the same meaning as the Swedes generally carry the word 'Sen'......"

And the idle Chinese fans are also brushing up these idle egg pain topics in the post bar, forums, penguin groups and Weibo......

At the same time, Gao Hongbo and Fu Bo frowned, a little surprised by Serbia's starting list.

A draw can qualify, which is a fatal temptation for the Chinese team coached by Gao Hongbo!

Last June, China qualified for the World Cup finals, and everyone thought that it was due to Iello that he was the head coach who was only stained with the light of the world's number one.

Now that the two rounds of the group stage have passed, the Chinese team ranks first with a goal difference and a goal difference, as long as it can advance to the top 16 of the World Cup, then it will definitely be recognized by domestic fans!

If you can qualify with a draw, why risk attacking?

Serbia only has a chance to advance if it wins the game, so it will definitely put out the strongest attacking lineup in the last game, so Gao Hongbo believes that it must be very worthwhile to play defensive counterattacks in the last game......

But who wants Serbia to put on a defensive counter-attacking lineup as well?

Headache!

※※※

Time passed quickly, and the players from both sides entered the dressing room from the pitch and from the dressing room to the players' tunnel.

At this time, almost all TV stations that have the rights to broadcast the World Cup in South Africa received the signal from the live Mbobella Stadium.

Dortmund teammates Subotic and Feng Xiaoting hugged and shook hands, while Iroh and Ivanovic also made a pre-match gesture with Branislav Ivanovic, and the two often had some long-distance interplay in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons, so they had a good relationship.

This is followed by a series of simple but tedious ceremonies, and finally the game begins......

"CCTV, CCTV, now live for you is the 2010 South Africa World Cup Group D last round of the focus of the Chinese team and Serbia, in the past two rounds of the game we and Serbia are one win and one loss, but because of the advantage of goal difference and goals ranked first in Group D, that is to say, this game is not a lot of pressure for the Chinese team, a draw can qualify......"

Before Shen Fangjian's voice fell, many fans in China complained about him.

"Nima Shen Fang Jian! What a pot should not be mentioned!! Can you speak? I won't let Mr. Zhan Jun say it alone!! ”

", if you don't mention a draw, you can qualify, will you die? Bad luck!! ”

"Totally agree with the point of view upstairs, hearing you say this, my little heart liver is 'popping'!"

"-Poof!!"

The game was announced after the referee's whistle, and the Chinese team that kicked off first did not rush forward to attack, but according to Gao Hongbo's temporary adjustment before the game, Serbia can only advance to the round of 16 if it wins......

Therefore, the Chinese team played very relaxed in the first ten minutes of the game, mainly with horizontal passes and return passes.

Of course, Iroh took the initiative to take the ball and break forward is an exception.

After ten minutes of probing, Serbian coach Antic frowned, and under normal circumstances, didn't he choose to take the initiative to attack when he learned that the opponent put on a defensive posture?

He knew that he underestimated Gao Hongbo, who coached the national team for the first time......

However, Antic adjusted quickly, taking advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to make a subtle tactical change gesture at Stankovic.
