When Chen Green scored the second goal in the second half, Wan Chope, who was on the sidelines, looked at Sun Jihai beside him blankly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your team has taken medicine, how can such a big change happen overnight," Wanchope felt that this was impossible and unscientific.

Jihai smiled slightly and said a few words in Wanchop's ear, and the latter immediately understood that he had been scolded.

But after thinking about it, I feel terrible, now the strength of the Chinese team turned out to be like this, after yesterday's game, Costa Rica looked down on the Chinese team, Wanchope himself also felt that the Chinese team had not made any progress in 12 years, but today he knew that he was wrong.

"Pride is the devil," Wanchope said to himself.

Yesterday Costa Rica defeated the proud Chinese team, and today the Chinese team defeated the proud Costa Rica.

At the end of the game, the old coach Pinto kicked the bottle on the side of the court, he didn't have Li Guo's patience, he was furious on the spot, and scolded on the sidelines, the Chinese players couldn't understand Spanish, but when they saw the Costa Rican players like grandchildren, they knew how hard Pinto scolded.

*****

Tomorrow is the third warm-up match between China and Costa Rica, because the two sides agreed that there is no limit to the number of substitutions in one game, and the players who have been replaced can also be replaced again, so the two teams will be fine for three consecutive days.

At 8 p.m., Pinto came to visit Li Guo, and the two met on the rooftop of the hotel, where the breeze was breezy and it was the most comfortable time of the day in Valparaiso.

"I've heard that Chilean winters are cold, but they don't look like they're," Pinto told him left and right.

Li Guo smiled, "We are not British, we don't need to chat, let's go straight to the topic." ”

Pinto also smiled, crossed his hands, and put on a comfortable position, "Li Guo, how did you bring an ordinary team to this level?" ”

"Just like you."

"Same as me?" Pinto asked incomprehensibly.

"Yes, I saw you scolding your players on the sidelines today to prove that you are absolutely in control of this team, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Pinto lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, only with absolute control, the tactics can be absolutely executed, every run can be in place, and finally I can play the effect I want." ”

Li Guo remembered an article he had read in his previous life, analyzing Costa Rica's success in Brazil, in which he talked about the team's ability to execute tactics amazingly.

"When I went back, Paul [Wanchope] told me a little story about you in the restaurant last night, and I have to say, you moved the team better than I did."

Li Guo thought to himself, this old guy is really a thief, there are words in the words, Pinto and Li Guo didn't talk for a long time, both of them admired each other, and both teams were civilian teams.

In the end, Pinto left with a sentence, "Since we already know each other, let's play a serious game tomorrow, just like the official game." ”

Li Guo agreed, it seems that Pinto wants to find out the true strength of the Chinese team.

*****

In the previous life, Costa Rica discharged a pure defensive formation like 541 in the World Cup in Brazil, but in today's game with the Chinese team, Pinto discharged a 442 formation, with No. 10 Ruiz and No. 9 Campbell as double arrows.

It is also worth mentioning that their goalkeeper is Keylor Navas, who later became famous in a fight, and now the Chinese players do not know him very well.

After the opening, the Chinese team was the main attack, and Costa Rica was the main defender, because they were divided into the group of death, Costa Rive's focus was on defense.

So soon, their formation became 451, and the number 10 retreated slightly to form a shadow striker.

Costa Rica's strategy was to counter-attack, and they did the same at the World Cup.

Of course, the Chinese team also knew, so they counter-attacked on the spot in the front court to prevent Costa Rica's counterattack from appearing.

But the opponent's defensive counterattack tactics have been perfected, after several passes, the ball still reached the feet of Campbell, Campbell took the ball and swept like a black whirlwind, this is Costa Rica's nirvana, all defense is waiting for this moment, the moment of counterattack.

Trotting all the way, Campbell entered the Chinese team's penalty area, facing Zhou Dun, Campbell pulled the ball with his instep, dodged the angle and continued to accelerate, in the first day of the game, he easily passed Zhou Dun.

But today, when he did the same, Zhou Dun blocked sideways, blocking the middle of Campbell and the football, and Campbell pushed behind him, which was naturally a foul.

"Good positioning," Pinto thought to himself, daring to do so in the penalty area requires not only skill, but also courage.

Costa Rica's offense revolves around Campbell, and when Campbell is contained, Costa Rica's offense is less of a threat.

Today's starting striker of the Chinese team, Li Guo chose Ji Ke, and the players of the Chinese team passed the ball directly to Ji Ke when they couldn't get in, and used the high point to smash.

At 36 minutes of the first half, Kiko headed a header from close range in front of goal, and the ball was saved by the reflexing Navas.

In the second half, Costa Rica changed a striker, while Li Guo did not make a substitution on the Chinese side, and finally after a big offensive and defensive battle, both sides did not score, and the Chinese team drew 0-0 with Costa Rica.

After the game, the managers of both sides were basically satisfied with the result, because although there were no goals in the game, the tactical drills were in place, which was far more important than scoring goals.

The so-called layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway.

This is Costa Rica's last day in Chile, and tomorrow they will leave for Brazil, while the Chinese team has two warm-up matches in Chile, one against Santiago Rangers and the other against Albania, after which the Chinese team will also fly to Brazil.

Li Guo proposed, he invited a treat, and the players of the two teams had a big meal tonight, and the Costa Rican players agreed very happily.

To put it mildly, the two teams are really fateful, the Chinese team met Costa Rica in the first game of the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, both teams used to have the same head coach, so this meal was very happy, Costa Ricans are cheerful, very talkative, and their English is also good.

When the drink was up, Wanchope stood up and wanted to dance for everyone, and of course everyone was happy and applauded.

Wan Chope's dance was crooked, it should be a dance in the Caribbean, dancing and dancing, Wan Chope's wanted to pull Sun Jihai to dance together, Sun Jihai hurriedly waved his hand and refused, but everyone was coaxing, and finally Sun Jihai twisted with Wan Chope.

The players on both sides were restrained and did not drink too much, and after the meal Costa Rica left Valparaiso and rushed to Santiago overnight. (To be continued.) )
