Chapter 132: Finding a Flaw

With the memory of the traverser, Li Guo knew that in his previous life, this New Zealand team finally reached the World Cup in South Africa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They also drew with defending champions Italy in the second round of the group stage, which ultimately led to Italy's elimination after the group stage.

Li Guo still remembers vividly that it was a mistake by Cannavaro, and it was their number 9 who scored for New Zealand.

After the game, many people regarded New Zealand's draw against Italy as lucky, but Li Guo did not see it that way, and he felt that New Zealand's slightly violent style of football was very targeted in front of the aging Italian defence.

New Zealand in front of them had already penetrated the Fiji goal three times in the opening 10 minutes, and there was no suspense in the game, the only suspense was to score a few.

In FIFA A-level competitions, all the score records were set by Oceania, and by the 15-minute mark, New Zealand had scored one more goal.

"My brother, I can't bear to watch it when it's time for Tahiti," Seline said.

Li Guo smiled, and Selene also saw the advantage of New Zealand's ruling level, and it is estimated that Tahiti, led by Attani, was really only abused when he met New Zealand.

But the purpose of Li Guo's trip is not to see the data of New Zealand players, but to investigate New Zealand, in other words, to find a way to deal with New Zealand.

But this kind of game that is easier than the team training match is actually not visible, this kind of game fans love to watch, but football coaches don't like to watch it.

Professional coaches prefer to watch 0-0 games, because a football senior said that a perfect game should be 0-0, and the goal is the result of the opponent's mistakes.

By the time New Zealand finished fifth, the crowd was not interested, and the players on the pitch were just celebrating.

New Zealand's lowest FIFA ranking is 156, but that's because there are fewer international A-level competitions in Oceania, and Li Guo feels that New Zealand's strength is equivalent to Uzbekistan's strength if it is in Asia.

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 5-0, and the players on both sides ran back to the locker room, and Li Guo was also ready to find a place to eat.

Selene and Lee went to the stadium kiosk, which had beer, pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and so on.

Li Guo asked for a glass of orange juice, and in order to keep his mind clear when watching the game, Li Guo did not drink alcoholic beverages.

"Li Guo, is it necessary to watch the second half of this game?"

"Of course,"

Selene looked at her phone, it was a text message from a friend, "Good news, Tahiti's side led Papua New Guinea 3-0 in the first half. ”

"Good news indeed,"

Seeing Li Guo's absent-minded appearance, Selene comforted: "Li Guo, as long as you do your best, Atani will thank you, and the people of Tahiti will thank you, the gap between us and New Zealand is very big, I know, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself." ”

Li Guo smiled, indeed, in the first half, he couldn't see where New Zealand's flaws were, if Tahiti met New Zealand, then the game didn't need to be watched, what the result would be, Li Guo could probably guess it.

"Don't worry, I'm a football coach and I like to challenge myself."

After the start of the second half, the willingness of New Zealand players to brush up on statistics seems to have weakened a lot, players are more passing, and running is also reduced, which is normal, and people will inevitably slack off when they are leading by a large score.

Fiji and Tonga are actually similar, and there is no professional football, and if there is one characteristic of Fijian players, it is that they are fast.

New Zealand's midfielder Smith took the ball in front of the penalty area, he glanced at the back corner of the goal, ready to kick a banana ball, straight to the dead corner, the ball went out and drew an arc, with a burst of laughter on the scene, Smith himself was happy, the ball was ridiculously high, the idea was good, but unfortunately the footwork was too bad.

The Fijian goalkeeper placed the ball in the goal area and then kicked it wide, flew past the midfield, bounced off the ground and flew towards the New Zealand penalty area.

The trajectory of the ball is quite strange, just when the New Zealand central defender was stunned, the Fijian striker rushed forward at high speed, and the tall white defender of New Zealand turned a little slowly, seeing that the Fijian striker was about to form a single knife, New Zealand goalkeeper Mark Paston rushed out, and the 1.95-meter-tall Paston pounced on the Fijian striker.

At this point, the footballer's bloody nature was revealed, and the Fijian striker, risking injury, poked the ball in the direction of the goal, and then collided with Paston.

The ball slowly rolled towards the goal, Li Guo had already stood up, GOAL!

When Li Guo yelled, the New Zealand fans next to him didn't understand, this guy didn't look like a Fijian, why did he cheer for Fiji.

*****

The reason why Li Guo was so excited was because the goal made Li Guo see New Zealand's biggest weakness, which was their goalkeeper, Mark Paston.

In fact, although the goal just now was sudden, there was not much threat, under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper would stay near the penalty line, but Mark Paston was still in his own small penalty area when the opponent opened the goal, and in today's football, there are not many goalkeepers with such a small range of movement.

Second, Mark Paston is too slow to attack, although this guy's height is too tall, but this is not a reason, Neuer is also more than 1.9 meters tall, but he runs fast, the trend of modern football is that the goalkeeper actually has to play two positions, first, goalkeeper, second, drag back central defender.

Li Guo recorded this in detail in a small notebook, which may become the Achilles heel of New Zealand.

At the end of the game, New Zealand won 7-1 against Fiji, but the Fijians were happier than the New Zealanders because they scored one, which is something to boast about.

There was also news from the other side, Tahiti won the first game 4-0, and Li Guo and Selene left the court after the game.

"Li Guo I want to see the night view,"

"But we booked a red-eye flight for the night,"

Selene lowered her head, and Li Guo couldn't bear to disappoint the little girl, "Okay, I'll take you to dinner, and then we'll watch the night view, but you have to make sure to follow me 2 hours before the flight takes off." ”

Selene was amused, "Of course, I'm not a child. ”

"Also, if someone is seen, don't say it's my girlfriend anymore."

Selene mischievously said, "I can't guarantee this." ”

I'm going to let it go, and it's up to me, it's really a trouble to be too handsome.
