Or are you thinking about the burning girls at home? ”

Off the field, Postecoglou is also very dissatisfied, he attaches great importance to China, but China is not South Korea, nor Japan, and it is really a shame to be beaten by the Chinese team.

Moreover, the football game pays attention to the word "potential", and it is rare to be able to defend to the end, and generally the advantage is followed by the goal, and now if the Chinese team is allowed to score first, then whether the game can be won is still a question.

Postecoglou thought for a moment and shouted at Jedinak: "Don't kick like a woman, teach the Chinese a hard lesson." ”

Postecoglou's voice was very loud, and both Perrin and Li Yun heard his words, Perrin had a gloomy face, and Li Yun glared at Postecoglou fiercely.

Yedinak's face was calm and resolute, he left without pleading, and the other Australian players saw the captain's posture, and their hearts that were originally slightly relaxed instantly tightened, and the fighting spirit of all the team members was raised by two levels.

On the Chinese team's side, the players quickly felt the changes in the Australian team, but everyone was very calm, neither angry nor cowardly, just as the reporter asked before the game whether they wanted to play against South Korea or Australia, the Chinese players replied that it didn't matter, just do their best.

Pei Lan nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines, although the Chinese team does not have an advantage in individual technology, it is not worse than Australia in terms of speed, and the Chinese team is more active, not only successfully defending Australia in the first half, but also running with Australia, effectively consuming the physical strength of the Australian players.

"In the second half, maybe we can give them a little more time, and Li Yun will play a little later."
