Chapter 31: Cowell
Before the game, Li Guo and his disciples formed a circle, and the camera swept over, starting from goalkeeper Yang Zhi, Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong, Li Weifeng, Fang Suo, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, Gao Lin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is the starting lineup of the Chinese team today, the formation of 4231, the most unexpected of which is Li Weifeng and Fang Suo playing double backs.
After Li Guo took office, Li Weifeng moved to the position of the back waist, which can play the disadvantage of Li Weifeng's rich experience but slow turn.
Zheng Zhi is still a forward midfielder, he is responsible for the organization of the Chinese team's frontcourt, and Sun Jihai has been transformed into a left midfielder, anyway, Sun Jihai was a panacea when he was in Manchester City, it should be said that Sun Jihai can play in any position except the goalkeeper.
After the solemn ceremony of playing the national anthem, the atmosphere of the 80,000-person stadium was pushed to the extreme, and the game began!

"Harry, what's wrong with you," said head coach Welbeck, who feared his biggest nightmare would happen during the game, and that was Colwill's injury.
But Cowell waved his hand to signal that he was okay.
Welbeck just relaxed for a while, the heart that had just been put down hung again, today's game is very strange, not because Australia is behind, 25 minutes after the first half, the score is still 0-0, not that Australia is passive on the field, look at the statistics, both sides are about the same.
But as an experienced head coach, he just felt that something was wrong, and on the other side, Li Guo was standing on the sidelines with Robin Dutt, watching, and Robin Dutt was surprised to find that Fang Suo's tactical execution ability was very amazing.
Tactical execution is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do, and on a huge pitch you need to run where the coach asks you to be every time, which is not easy.
German coaches are notoriously demanding tactically, and Farsot can make Robin Dutt shine and show what the little guy is capable of.
"This guy is like a robot," Robin Dutt whispered, and at the same time, the Australian head coach also saw that the reason for Colwill's malfunction was the opponent's No. 8 - Fangso.
Every time a teammate passes the ball to Colwill, Fang Suo can be in place in advance, Colwill is a player who is more afraid of confrontation, he is characterized by fast speed, as long as the first time to hold the ball comfortably, Colwill accelerates, it is difficult to block.
But the bias is to frequently harass Cowell at the most critical first moment, which makes Cowell feel as uncomfortable as if he was stuck in his throat.
"What's the matter, why did this guy suddenly change from a rough brother to a card master," Chen Anxin thought.
Chen An couldn't figure out this question, but Li Guo knew very well that because in the environment of Su Chao, roughness is the first element of survival, but in the Asian arena, Fang Suo doesn't need to use rough movements to protect himself at all, so of course he can give full play to his defensive talent.
Because of Australia's "dysfunctional" attack, the game became very boring as time went by, the audience at the scene was a little dissatisfied, the layman watched the excitement, and the fans wanted to score more goals and shoot more, but the reality was that both sides were a bit boring.
*****
'Harry, is your illness happening again,' Welbeck asked in the tunnel at half-time.
Cowell shook his head.
"Could it be that the other party's No. 8 is really that strong?"
Colwill nodded, "The card is very accurate, and I can't carry him, to be honest, I feel like I'm playing in the Premier League, it's tiring." ”
Welbeck was silent, Colwill was the heart of the team's midfield, and if he conceded defeat, it would be a bad luck for Australia.
"Then lure him to foul, that guy is a big card eater in Su Chao,"
Colwill nodded, he is not the kind of player who likes to fake falls, but now for the sake of the country, for the sake of Australia, it is acceptable to play a little cheating.
At the beginning of the second half, the scene became even more dull, the game was completely reduced to a scramble between the two sides in the midfield, the fans were not satisfied, but the sports reporters on the scene were stunned, because Australia is the first in Asia, even if it is Persian Iron Riding Iran, it can't fight Australia, but today the Chinese team can fight Australia in the midfield, which can be said to be a miracle.
In fact, people with a little football common sense can see that the Chinese team's No. 8 square rope is the key.
Finally, on the 21st minute of the second half, Australia played a fast attack, the ball advanced to the feet of Colwill, the ball arrived, and so did Fangso, who dummed a shot under his foot and then hung his left foot on Fangso's leg.
At the same time as Colwill fell, the whole Australian team roared, they were putting pressure on the referee, according to the rules, the foul should be given a yellow card, and the referee also took out the yellow card and slowly ran to the place of the incident.
From Li Guo's point of view, it is not 100% clear whether Fang Suo has committed a foul, but Li Guo raised his right hand and kept shaking his fingers, indicating that this should not be a yellow card.
But the referee still held up the yellow card, and the next second, the audience was shocked, only to see that the referee did not ask for the other party's card, but ...... Against Colwill, Australia stopped doing this time, because Colwill already had a yellow card in the first half, two yellows turned into one red, and in this way, Colwill was sent off.
Welbeck's saliva was almost sprayed on the fourth official, he was extremely dissatisfied with the referee's decision, the referee team for this game was from Iran, everyone used English to communicate, Welbeck repeated "NO".
Li Guo did not arch the fire, he believed in Colwill's character, and of course Li Guo also welcomed the Australian core to be sent off.
In fact, it is like Totti's red card at the 2002 World Cup, when you said that the Koreans did not push Totti, in fact, it is really difficult to say.
But the wood is already in the boat, the red card is impossible to take back, when Colwill passed by Li Guo, Li Guo also stretched out his hand and patted Colwill to show comfort, whether it is in the past life or now, Li Guo still admires Colwill very much.
Colwill's penalty became a turning point in the game, the Chinese team is now strong in the midfield, without the threat of Colwill, the Chinese team finally took control of the game into their own hands.
Soon, five minutes after Colwill went off the field, the first goal of the game finally arrived, and it was Sun Jihai who scored the goal.
As soon as the goal was scored, the 80,000-person stadium was completely boiling, no one believed that the Chinese team could win Australia before the game, but now it seems that the Chinese team is getting closer and closer to a victory, the Chinese team scored, Li Guo relaxed a little and stuffed a piece of chewing gum into his mouth.
Just when Li Guo had just relaxed, there was a commotion on the pitch, and it turned out that the Chinese team had won a penalty.
