"CCTV, CCTV, I'm the live commentator Duan Xuan, now I bring you the 2006 World Cup Group D match day 1 match, the Chinese team in Nuremberg World Cup stadium ushered in the first group stage, the opponent is Mexico from Central and North America, the same group also has the star-studded European powerhouse Portugal, and the Angolan team from Africa.

The Chinese team reached the World Cup finals for the second time in history, we just won the Asian Cup for the first time two years ago, and now we are on the stage of the World Cup, and all the fans are expecting the Chinese team to achieve good results.

Compared to the Chinese team, which is only reaching the World Cup finals for the second time, Mexico have a wealth of experience in the World Cup, this is their 13th World Cup, and most of the main players in the team are from the big teams in Mexico's local league, such as the Mexican Blue Cross club, and several players play in Europe's top leagues, the most famous of which is their captain Marcos, who plays for La Liga giants Barcelona.

Less than a month ago, the two captains on the pitch met in the Champions League final today, Qin Xiong led Arsenal to beat Barcelona 3-2, bringing Arsenal the first Champions League trophy in the club's history, and we expect our captain Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong, to lead China to a point against Mexico.

As the game gets underway, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

The Chinese team started 451.

Goalkeeper: Liu Yunfei.

Defenders: Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang.

Midfielders: Zhang Pengfei, Zhao Junzhe. Qin Xiong. Liu Yi. Shao Jiayi.

Forward: Li Jinyu.

Mexico started 352.

Goalkeeper: Alexis Sanchez.

Defenders: Salcido, Marcos, Osorio.

Midfielders: Perez, Tolardo, Pardo, Fonseca, Pineda.

Forwards: Borgetty, Franco.

The game starts right away. The atmosphere is very warm, let's cheer for the Chinese team, and wish the Chinese team a good performance in today's game! ”

The Chinese team took the lead in kicking off, Qin Xiong and Li Jinyu stood in the middle circle, he looked back at the backfield, the teammates of the national team looked serious, and everyone was ready to do a big job.

Li Jinyu passed the ball to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong turned and dribbled forward, and when he easily passed Bolgeti who rushed up to scramble, the Chinese fans in the stands were even more excited!

That's it!

They thought that Qin Xiong had the ability to break through the opponent's layers of defense. The ball is then sent inside the opponent's goal.

But when Qin Xiong came to the front waistline, his expression became extremely solemn.

Standing in his way was Fonseca. Behind Fonseca were Pardo and Tuolado, and from Qin Xiong's right side, there was Pineda to press.

Breaking forward, Qin Xiong knew that he would fall into a tight joint defense, and if he didn't move forward, the pressing from the side would also make him passive in the face of Fonseca.

352, 352 Mexico played a formation that was not really mainstream.

People thought that Qin Xiong would face Marcos in this match.

Not really!

Marcos is the same age as the backline, and he stands behind Pardo and Dragado, watching the game from a short distance.

The pain of losing the Champions League has not gone away, but he is not impulsive, but very sensible.

In fact, how the Mexican team limited the Chinese team, the coaching team adopted Marcos's suggestion!

Because Marcos has fought against Qin Xiong, Marcos's advice is a truly valuable experience rather than analyzing his opponent through video observation.

Looking at the Chinese team, Qin Xiong's threat must be the greatest, and then what?

I don't know!

Yes, other points cannot be said to be valued, but the Mexican team is confident that they will definitely not lose to the Chinese team in other points.

But what about Qin Xiong?

How much threat does Qin Xiong have?

This is difficult to quantify.

Therefore, the Mexican team weakened the back line, strengthened the midfield defense, and at the same time, the game defense strategy was also focused on containing Qin Xiong!

There are five people in the midfield, and when defending, at least 4 people must play a role to form a cage and trap Qin Xiong!

This is already a very high standard of treatment.

In other words, if Qin Xiong can attract the attention of the opponent's four defenders and contain the opponent's main defensive force.

Then in the attack, the numerical advantage that the Chinese team can form at other points will be very huge.

It's just that Mexico has far more experience than the Chinese team!

The Chinese team, which was defeated by Turkey, Brazil, and Costa Rica in the last World Cup, dare to give it a go in the World Cup?

No!

They are weaklings, they came to Germany with a modest and low-key mentality, humbly looking up to all their opponents!

It was precisely because of this that the Mexican team dared to use a large force to contain Qin Xiong, and then risked exposing the defensive void elsewhere.

Qin Xiong did not rush hard, Mexico came prepared, and he paid more attention to the rhythm of the whole team at the beginning.

So he passed the ball to the right side, Zhang Pengfei took the ball in the direction of the Mexico penalty area when there was obvious space, but dribbling was not his specialty, and in the face of Osorio, he did not grasp the shot and crossed the ball, intending to create opportunities for Li Jinyu.

Marcos stepped up at the right time and easily intercepted Zhang Pengfei's unsurprising pass.

After the ball was successfully broken, Marcos immediately crossed the ball diagonally to the front of the left wing, and Pineda ran forward, dribbling the ball to the side when he encountered Zhao Junzhe, and forced the breakthrough to succeed!

Then in a 45-degree cross from the side, Borgeti rushed forward to head the ball before Zheng Zhi, but unfortunately the football was off!

"The Mexican team completed an attack at the beginning, their attack was very decisive, the two strikers are 1.8 meters tall, and the Chinese team must beware of the opponent's continuous high-altitude bombing tactics."

When Qin Xiong returned to the midfield to respond and then organized the attack, he found himself once again in a situation where he was surrounded in all directions.

How dare Mexico do that!

Even if they bear the risk of exposing a partial void in the back line, they will definitely trap Qin Xiong in a cage!

Qin Xiong passed the ball to Zhao Junzhe, who stepped forward to follow up in the back row, when Fonseca and Pardo were caught between him, and he immediately passed the ball to the front of the left wing and gave Shao Jiayi a through ball.

When the Mexican backline is clearly empty, there is no need to think deeply and how broad-minded the big picture is, and the Chinese team can also pass the ball smoothly to their teammates in the front court.

However, the ensuing problem is that the wide players of the Chinese team cannot play well with either choice under the two options of cross and individual breakthrough!

Marcos stared at Li Jinyu, and the cross was inefficient!

Shao Jiayi can't break through Salhido, and Zhang Pengfei can't break through Osorio!

Qin Xiong's back row follow-up is almost impossible to find availability, unless he runs to the side, he will always be in a large semicircle of at least 4 people!

Mexico, who have 12 World Cup experience, are very well prepared for this match, and they have a very precise grasp of the strength of both sides and the strengths and weaknesses of individual players!

Now Qin Xiong is like he has been cut off his wings and can't fly, he is dragged by his legs and can't run, sometimes he seems to be blindfolded, and he can't see the line that can pass the ball to his teammates at all! (To be continued......)
