In the second half, the Croatian team was going to attack aggressively, but now after conceding another goal unexpectedly, the Croatian team, which has been completely cornered, is even more crazy to press the onslaught across the board, especially the "Magic Flute" Modric, who is bent on atonement for his crimes, is the most active.
Although he is still very young, Modric's ability to protect the ball is indeed an eye-opener for the Chinese team's internationals, as long as they are not accidentally surrounded like at the beginning of the second half, it is difficult for the Chinese players to break the ball from his feet, but Modric disrupted the defense. Even Golin who has always prided himself on his ability to protect the ball was shocked when he saw Modric's true strength, not to mention other internationals.
Liu Jianhong couldn't help but praise him a few words, "It's him again, No. 14 Modric, two people have to foul to stop him, European teams really can't be underestimated, a 21-year-old substitute player has such strength"
Gong Lei laughed after hearing this, raised the bar and said, "There is a limit to boasting, the Croatian team can't be underestimated, so how strong should we be with a three-goal lead?" This Modric is very young, but our international players on the field are even younger, Xu Lin is now 20 years old, Yu Hai is 19 years old, Hao Junmin is 19 years old, Rong Hao is also 19 years old, and our core player Gao Jun will not celebrate his 18th birthday in more than two months."
"Yes, we have younger players on the pitch and there are younger Xie Wenjun and some other young players on the bench, this is the most promising Chinese national team of all time, and no one can predict how high they will go. Gong Lei, I really want to see their fully grown appearance as soon as possible, even if it is four years less for this! ”。 Liu Jianhong said with some exaggeration.
After hearing this, Gong Lei also smiled and agreed, "I feel the same way, these young men are really good." Enjoy this World Cup, because of the defeat in the last game, the next game will be against a strong Brazilian team, even if this one is a big win. It will be difficult for us to qualify from the group, but I am sure that the lads of the national football team will once again give the fans a good game. ”
"It's strange to say, how could such a large number of talents suddenly emerge in Chinese football? This is not in line with the laws of football at all! You say we don't have a lot of footballers, right? And did you notice? These players are all from the Chongming Football Base under the guidance of Xu Genbao, which is too exaggerated, right? I have also been to Chongming base, and I feel that compared with those world-class youth training camps, there is a big gap in all aspects, how can so many talents be produced? After Liu Jianhong was silent for a while, he suddenly asked a question that many people had thought about.
"That's a question. I think it's mainly because of the environment. Director Xu once said that among the young players who came out of the Chongming base, only Gao Jun is a wizard who has never been seen in the history of Chinese football, and Xie Wenjun can be regarded as a once-in-a-decade encounter, and although the other players are not badly talented, there are more talented players than them in the history of Chinese football. For example, General Fan, whose physical condition is not inferior to Xie Wenjun, if the professional league is a little earlier. The achievement is absolutely incredible; If Hao Dacang had let him go in 81 years, he might have been able to become a world-class striker. ”。 Gong Lei said with some regret, "After the professional league, such as Sun Jihai, there is absolutely nothing to say about talent, but he was called back to Dalian for relegation shortly after going abroad, and then returned to Europe after a delay of two and a half years." At this time, he has passed the age of the longest ball, although his development is not bad now, but if he had stayed in the UK to play, he would now be a world-class star, what is this called? ”
Speaking of which, later. The two found that the reason why the young players of the Oriental team were able to grow up so well was because they were played with Gao Jun, a core player with excellent strength, who had been playing with them since childhood, and the national youth and the club had achieved good results in the games, on the one hand, they enhanced their confidence and accelerated their growth, and on the other hand, they also attracted the attention of European clubs early, such as Hao Junmin and Yu Hai, and Gao Jun made his own sacrifice to bring up several young Chinese players on the platform of the Dynamo Dresden team. Their talent may not be as good as that of old internationals such as Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi, but because they have a better development platform at the age of the longest ball, their future achievements are very likely to be only high.
"In the final analysis, we have to be glad that the emergence of Gao Jun has led to the growth of a group of young players, and several high-level foreign aides of the Oriental team have also contributed to it." , Liu Jianhong said this, and suddenly remembered one thing, "By the way, now many Chinese Super League clubs hope to increase the number of foreign aid places, the current '2 + 1' is too little, you can see the results of the Oriental team this season, domestic players are too young, just two foreign aid can not be brought at all, if it is still like last year's three foreign aid places, the situation may be very different"
Liu Jianhong's frequent deviation from the topic when commenting has always been criticized by domestic fans, but because the Chinese team has a three-goal lead on the field, and the topic Liu Jianhong said today is also of interest to most domestic fans, so it is not so much that too many fans can't bear to turn the TV on mute. But it didn't take long for Liu Jianhong's expression to be so relaxed, and he was no longer in the mood to continue to go off-topic
In the 59th minute, Luka Modric used his excellent ball control skills to attract two Chinese defenders, and then seized the time to accurately divide the ball when the third Chinese player pounced on him, and his young teammate Kranica Jr. (Note 1) wisely stepped forward in time to fly near the far post and shoot past Li Leilei's ten fingers to help Croatia stubbornly pull a point back. The score on the field became 4:2, and the Chinese team's lead was only two goals left, and the Croatian team finally saw the hope of equalizing
"There's really no way to do it, it's too strong on the individual, this kid called Modric will definitely become a football superstar in the future. The national football team must strengthen its defense against him, otherwise, it will really let this cooked duck fly away", Gong Lei sighed helplessly, speaking of which, he suddenly realized that few people have noticed a point, although the attack power of this national football team is very strong, but there are not many players with strong personal ability, that is, good at ball control and breakthrough, if it is in the Asian game, the situation is better, with the growth of Gao Jun's body, The five young internationals from the Eastern team all have at least good individual assault ability, but in a high-level competition like the World Cup, even Hao Junmin, the strongest in this area, seems to struggle when he goes alone, and even pays the price of serious injuries for this, "Maybe the problem of the Chinese team's lack of offensive ability is here?" From this point of view, the strength of this group of players is not really that strong, and being able to have such an excellent performance may also have a lot to do with the tacit understanding formed by playing together since childhood."
At this time, Liu Jianhong was more worried about the recurrence of the old problem of the national football team dropping the chain at a critical moment, "It's just one goal, we are still two goals ahead, I hope the players of the national football team can stay calm, don't really let people turn the tables"
"Sure enough, no one who can become a world-class star is easy to deal with", Gao Jun is obviously a little unhappy with the goal conceded, but a famous player like Modric, Gao Jun, a traverser, can find out the weaknesses if he thinks about it carefully, "The magic flute shooting in the mature period is not very good, and now, it is estimated that it is even worse." Young people like to watch xiàn, he has made big mistakes before, he must be eager to make meritorious contributions, as long as there is a chance to shoot, even if it is not good, he is very likely to choose to shoot directly"
Thinking of this, Gao Jun quickly had a countermeasure, taking advantage of the time before the kick-off in the middle circle, Gao Jun shouted to his teammates on the back line, "Don't go up to three people like just now, in that case, the defense space, he is likely to concede the goal." ”
"But two people don't necessarily stop him, it's easy to get cards if you foul, and it's dangerous to give too many free kicks." , Zheng Zhi replied a little depressedly.
Gao Jun smiled when he heard this, "His shooting is not good, if you really can't prevent his breakthrough, you can estimate the flaws in the selling point, and lure him to barely shoot from a long distance in a bad position on the periphery." In fact, I think that if you just prevent him from breaking through and passing, the two of them can already be clearly limited, no matter how talented he is, after all, he is only a substitute player who has just entered the Croatian team and has not yet played the main team. ”
"How do you know he's not shooting well? Do you even pay attention to the Croatian league? Zheng Zhi was suddenly surprised.
Gao Jun naturally knew that he had leaked his mouth, the identity of the traverser could not be said, and the reason for Zheng Zhi's brain supplement was difficult to believe, but this did not stump him, "I'm not so idle, just a young player, dribbling is very strong, and passing the ball is very rare, if the shot is good, he should have been a superstar of Ronaldo and Messi's level long ago, how can he still be unknown?" ”
Zheng Zhi thought about it, so he felt at ease to follow the defensive strategy that Gao Jun came up with, anyway, Gao Jun, as the core of the team, has the right to adjust this tactical detail, and if it still doesn't work, the responsibility is also Gao Jun's back, and he doesn't have to worry
Note 1: In the second half, in order to strengthen the attack, Modric replaced a midfielder instead of Kranica Jr., and the formation on the field at this time was 4321. The reason why the Chinese team's counterattack easily broke through the Croatian team's defense was not only skillful and subtle in its own cooperation, but also had a lot to do with the Croatian team's only one defender on the field at that time.
