Thailand has two wins and one draw in the group stage, without a defeat, which is reasonable to say that they can qualify as the top of the group, but the Iraqi team in the same group with him also has two wins and one draw to accumulate seven points, and Iraq's goal difference is one more than the Thai team.

The Thai team was able to achieve such a result entirely because they were the host, and it can be seen from the video of the game that the strength of the Thai team is relatively not too strong, and they won mainly because of the momentum!

This is the prerogative of the hosts!

Of course, this privilege is not how the referee drops, the football environment in this world is relatively fair and just, and a situation like the 02 World Cup in the previous life is absolutely impossible.

In the 02 World Cup in Lin Qi's previous life, the South Korean team, as one of the hosts, won their best result in history - fourth place.

This fourth place is quite watery, and it can be said that every game of the Korean team is played by twelve people on the field, and the referee is also a member of the Korean team.

It was with the help of these 12 people that the Korean team was able to achieve such results. If you rely on real strength, look at the results of the South Korean team in other World Cups, it will be extremely difficult for them to qualify from the group.

Therefore, the role of referees on the field is very important, and the fairness and impartiality of referees is even more important!

In this world, referees are more severe, and you can make mistakes on the pitch, but you must not favor any team.

Once a referee involved in match-fixing is caught, the consequences are simply not something they can afford. Not only will they be known by FIFA, but they will also be treated in the same way as football hooligans~.

This means that they will not be able to participate in any football-related activities for the rest of their lives!

Under such a strict system, no one in this world dares to defy the law. The reason why the Thai team was able to qualify from the group with a record of two wins and one draw was not completed with the help of the referee.

They played every game with the momentum of being the hosts.

The hosts have the home advantage, but they are also under more pressure than any other team. That pressure forced the Thai team to kick the ball like a wolf, and they put on a desperate posture at the start of the Asian Youth Championships.

In the face of this momentum, the average team game has not yet begun to become timid. The Thai team just took their victory for granted.

When head coach Liu Bo watched the video of the game, he found a very serious problem.

Not only did the Thai team attack like a wolf, but their defense was even more ferocious. There was no mercy at all, and two players from the three teams in the same group were injured in the match against Thailand.

As a result, the Thai team has become the team with the most cards in this Asian Youth Championship, with eight yellow cards and one red card, and the Thai team will receive an average of three cards per game.

This probability of taking cards is frightening.

When Liu Bo saw this, his face became serious. The strength of the Thai team is not strong, but it is like a roadblock in the way of the Chinese youth team.

"The Thai team's style of play is too ferocious, they are completely desperate, desperate and desperate!" After watching the video of the Thai team's game, the players' expressions also became extremely serious.

Originally, they thought that the Thai team would not pose much of a threat to them, but after watching the game video, they knew that they were wrong, and they were very wrong.

There are even players who are already afraid of the Thai team, and they all look at Liu Bo without exception, as if they hope that Liu Bo will not send them on the field.

The Thai team can work hard recklessly, but the Chinese youth team cannot, not to mention that the players have a bright future, just in this Asian Youth Championship, they can't afford to be injured.

The Chinese youth team is aiming for the championship, and if a player is injured in the game against the Thai team, it will be difficult for the Chinese youth team to play in the future.

"What to do? You can't go head-to-head with the Thai team, right? Liu Bo frowned slightly, thinking about the strategy of the Chinese youth team.

"You can't hit it hard, you have to break it in a more ingenious way."

Thinking like this, Liu Bo looked at Zhou Tao, Luo Ming, and Lin Qi.

"Set pieces!" These three words suddenly popped up in Liu Bo's mind, since the Thai team played more ferociously, the Chinese youth team would definitely get a lot of opportunities for set-pieces in the front court in the game.

And these set-pieces in front of the court are the chances for the Chinese youth team to defeat the Thai team!

Since the training camp, the Chinese youth team has practiced a lot of front-court set-piece tactics, and Liu Bo has created a lot of front-court set-piece tactics for the Chinese youth team.

These set-pieces will be key to the Chinese youth team's promotion to the semi-finals.

After thinking of a way, Liu Bo began to tell his players.

"As you can see, the Thai team is very ferocious and their players are like mad dogs. The Thai team is trying to scare their opponents. ”

"I have to say that the Thai team succeeded, and their mad dog tactics allowed them to successfully advance to the quarterfinals. However, the Thai team ended there. No matter how powerful a mad dog is, it is not as powerful as a wise human, so we will have a smart competition with them in this game! ”

When Liu Bo said this, the players were full of doubts. In their eyes, this mad dog tactic seems to be insolvable, unless you also come up with a mad dog tactic and go head-to-head with them. However, the price of that kind of hard encounter is too high for the Chinese youth team to bear.

If you can't do it, what should you do? Also, what is the situation of the intelligent competition that the manager is talking about?

No matter what the situation is, it seems that Liu Bo has a way, which makes the players' eyes light up, and they are full of anticipation waiting for Liu Bo's next step.

When Lin Qi heard Liu Bo say the words "mad dog tactics", his expression was indescribably weird. As a traverser, Lin Qi is no stranger to these four words, because in his previous life, the Chinese national team used this tactic.

At that time, the head coach of the Chinese national team once said: "What is it compared to foreigners? Than technology? Excuse me! Than tactical? Bad! Only more than this mad dog spirit! Do you think they'll be afraid? ”

It turns out that people are really not afraid, and foreigners habitually avoid you, because you are too rude, and people don't like to take you to play.

Even Koreans didn't play with Huaxia at that time, and they felt that they were losing their identity by playing with such a Huaxia~ identity.

I have to say that the head coach has brought great shame to Huaxia football, but his lewd ~ power is still relatively strong, and during his reign, his mad dog tactics are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The most typical example is that before the 06 World Cup, in the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the French team, the Chinese players directly shoveled the leg of the French star Cisse, causing Cisse to miss the World Cup in Germany.

It's not so much a shovel, Lin Qi feels that it should be bitten, the Chinese players in the previous life were trained by the head coach to be a group of mad dogs, and they bite people when they see them.

It's not a good tactic and how good it is to make all this mess up the time that you use to develop young players and develop good managers. Just thinking of some useless crooked ways, Lin Qi felt very hurt at the time, and he felt that there was no hope for Huaxia football anymore.

In fact, Lin Qi's Chinese football in his previous life did not have any hope at all. However, Lin Qi was lucky that he traveled to this world of Chinese football development.

And the mad dog tactics did not appear in Chinese football anymore, but the Thai youth team had the shadow of mad dog tactics.

"Against mad dog tactics, our offense can't be too strong!"

Liu Bo's words pulled Lin Qi back from his thoughts in his previous life, and the players were even more confused this time, and the offense was not strong, so how can we win, how can we advance to the semifinals, and how can we win the championship?

"If the offense is too powerful, the Thai team will inevitably come up and bite you, the most important thing to remind is Lin Heng and Lin Qi, in this game, you must not be sharp, you must know how to converge, know how to protect yourself!" Liu Bo ignored the players' questions, he looked at Lin Heng and Lin Qi, and said very seriously.

Lin Qi nodded obediently, while Lin Heng pouted, looking unhappy.

"Remember, your first priority is to protect yourself!" Liu Bo emphasized again, and then he showed a bad smile: "As for scoring goals, we still have the magic weapon of set-pieces!" ”

Liu Bo said and looked at Luo Ming and Zhou Tao again, if you really want to use set-pieces as the main offensive means, then Luo Ming and Zhou Tao will play a more huge role in this game.

As soon as Liu Bo's words fell, the players' eyes lit up again, yes, since we can't go head-to-head with them, we can use set-pieces to rewrite the score on the field.

There will also be clashes between players from both teams from set-pieces, but most of these clashes will be physical collisions, which are much better than savage tackles.

During the collision, the players are better able to protect themselves from injury.

Liu Bo's tactics are very reasonable, in short, his purpose is to let the players try to be as low-key as possible when attacking, and then try to create opportunities for set-pieces in the frontcourt.

Making set-pieces up front is much easier than scoring goals, and the players happily accepted Liu Bo's tactical arrangement.

In the next three days, the Chinese youth team once again entered closed training, and Liu Bo didn't want his tactics to be known to the Thai team early.

The Chinese youth team mainly trained for defense and set-pieces in the front court.

And while they were training behind closed doors, the whole of Thailand began to feel quite tense as the knockout rounds approached.
