After switching to the overly light "Putian Tongqing", the advantage of European and American players' physical strength and instantaneous explosiveness is in the free kick shot (while the long-range shot in the sports war can be volleyed with all his strength because there is no wall to block it, and the impact of "Putian Tongqing" is relatively smaller. East Asian players who were unable to take free kicks and long-range shots to the highest level in the world due to lack of strength and explosiveness have a chance to reach the world's top level if they are talented and willing to work hard. Although Deng Zhuoxiang and Hao Junmin, who are currently the best free-kick skills in the Chinese team, are now substitutes, because the World Cup schedule is relatively intensive, and Xie Wenjun and Wuqiu Wang are relatively poor in physical fitness due to their physique and age, so the two must have a chance to play, and the strange soldier with unique skills is the most terrifying

It looks very good, but a warm-up match with the French team before the World Cup sounded the alarm for the national football team, although the Chinese team relied on the overall defense of the dripping water in this game to make the French team's fierce attack all resolved, but Gao Jun rarely hit the goal with four shots in this game, as the team's offensive standard-bearer played abnormally, which inevitably affected the mentality of the national football team, especially the mentality of the frontcourt players, and finally this game became a bad battle that could waste opportunities more than anyone. It ended 0:0 with both sides unhappy.

When interviewed by reporters after the game, Gao Jun took the initiative to take the responsibility for failing to win the game, and he also found that the impact of "Putian Tongqing" on him in this game is not only the ability to seize opportunities, but also the stability of play. For example, if a player has a 60% chance of scoring on goal, the probability of missing four consecutive shots is less than 2.6%, which is very rare, and if the shooting rate drops to 40%, the probability of missing four consecutive shots is as high as 13%. The frequency of actual combat is several times higher, and even if the number of shots on goal increases by 50% at the same time, it can only make up for the loss of total goal percentage, but the decline in stability is still several times greater. What is a little speechless is that for those players who are usually not very reliable in shooting, the impact on stability will be much smaller

What worries Gao Jun even more is the psychological dependence of his teammates on him. If he misses a number of shots in a row at the World Cup, it is likely that the loss will be even greater if his teammates up front are in a state of anxiety as in this game

Although he is worried about this, but now Gao Jun can only seize the time to practice a little more shooting, in order to adapt to this damn "universal celebration" football as much as possible, even if he knows in his heart that the meaning of temporary cramming is limited, but practicing is better than not practicing. The head coach of the national football team, Stano, has increased the proportion of defensive and set-piece training, the latter can be short-term and fast-tracked. As for the former, in the case that the offense is no longer so sure, you can only rely on a tighter defense to ensure qualification, even if the national football team is unlucky in the World Cup, with the strength of Gao Jun and other frontcourt players, it is impossible not to score a goal, so as long as you can do not lose a goal in the group stage, no matter what kind of bad luck can not prevent the Chinese team from qualifying. That's what Stano thinks now

The warm-up match against France sparked concern among the domestic media and fans, but the 0:0 result was not bad. And if you're optimistic, it's a good thing to use bad luck in the warm-ups, but we won't know until the World Cup in South Africa kicks off

The reason why FIFA handed over the right to host this World Cup to South Africa is mainly due to political considerations, so the objective conditions are inevitably somewhat lacking. Not to mention anything else, the audience alone is incomparable to the previous editions, the horn called "Vuvuzula" by Africans interferes with the performance of the players on the field with extremely high-pitched noise in every game, and the "universal celebration" also has an impact on the accuracy of passing, and the error rate of both sides in the first few games after the start of the World Cup in South Africa is so high that it does not look like a World Cup game at all

'It's better to play without the African team. The sound of a game with an African team was so loud that it was hard to hear even the shouts of teammates. Gao Jun said with a headache after watching a game on the spot, but he soon realized that this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Chinese team, because in this noisy environment, the tacit advantage of the Chinese team will become more obvious.

With mixed feelings, the Chinese team ushered in the first opponent of the group stage, the Greek team, although the opponent can only be regarded as a second-rate team in Europe at most, but after all, it has won the European Cup not too long ago, so the national football team is still somewhat afraid of it at first. However, not long after the game started, the players on the field found that the players of the Greek team may be too tall, and their movements are generally not flexible enough, and they are completely unable to parry in the face of the fast and flexible attack of the Chinese team. In addition, the Greek players on the field are all participating in the World Cup for the first time, and they are somewhat burdened with a little psychological baggage, and the passing error rate is so high that it does not look like a European team at all

"Well done! Yu Hai broke the ball in the middle of the field, and the Chinese team quickly counterattacked! Beautiful two-over-one, the king of martial arts himself carried the ball forward, single-handed! Alas, this shot didn't stop, it's a pity! Duan Xuan, the host of CCTV who was responsible for commenting the game, was not only regretful, but also a little surprised by the offensive strategy of the Chinese team in this game, "Could it be that the Chinese team is going to give the king of martial arts the most firing rights today?" Gao Jun's running position just now was obviously covering for this little junior brother! ”

Guest Tao Wei replied with a smile, "There is this possibility, the height of the Wuqiu King is less than 1.7 meters now, while the central defenders of the Greek team are around 1.9 meters, the gap is too big, but it makes the flexibility of the Wuqiu King have an incomparable huge advantage." What's more, the three on the front line of the Chinese team are more famous and deterrent than the king of martial arts, and it is more dangerous to keep an eye on them, so it is difficult for the Greek team to do it! ”

What made Gao Jun a little admired was that he almost fell behind the score just now, but the old coach "Otto the Great" Rehhagel who was sitting on the bench was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, this kind of self-cultivation was not even comparable to himself who had physical problems and was not easy to get excited before the crossing, "I don't know if it's because the European Cup champion was at the bottom before, anyway, it's impossible to surpass this result, so this old man is very open, right?" ”

However, admiration is admiration, the Chinese team's offense has not stopped, and the international players who find that they have obvious advantages are more and more confident in playing, no longer abiding by the arrangement set by head coach Stano before the game to ensure that the defense line is stable and then rely on rapid counterattacks to defeat the opponent, but began to gradually press the formation forward, and the aggressiveness when pressing was further enhanced.

As a result, less than two minutes, the Chinese team broke the ball again successfully, Yang Hao immediately passed straight, just ran to the ball on the way of the king of martial arts noticed that the opponent's tall back was rushing over violently, consciously not sure to take the ball down, simply shook a shot, unexpectedly leaked the ball to the top of the front of the Lin Lin, the latter took the ball with his back and pretended to turn to the right, but unexpectedly pushed the ball to the left lightly, at this time has used the speed to get rid of the marking of the high military ball to the person, Easily push the ball into the net from a little outside the corner of the small penalty area, 1:0! At this time, less than 6 minutes before the start of the game, the Chinese team had a wonderful start in the first game of the World Cup in South Africa!

After seeing this goal, Duan Xuan was not only happy, but more surprised, "This goal is too easy, it's hard to imagine that this Greek team won the European Cup a few years ago, but whatever, anyway, now we are ahead!" ”

"It seems that the Greek team is not suitable for the fast and flexible style of play of the Chinese team, and we have a good chance of winning this game." Tao Wei, who was greatly confident, smiled lightly.

What he didn't expect, however, was that Greece came close to equalising less than a minute after the restart, and their simple long ball rush failed to create a direct chance to score, but they won a corner. When the corner kick was taken, the players of the Chinese team were too concerned about the air superiority of the Greek team and neglected the defense of the next three roads, as a result, the Greek team's fullback No. 15 Torosidis was unmarked in the penalty area, and he did not hesitate to volley directly after seeing the corner kick, fortunately it was high above the lintel, which really scared the Chinese fans in the stands into a cold sweat, and the two CCTV commentators couldn't help but exclaim

"This! This one is really dangerous! The national football team still has to be careful, it was obvious that the defense was leaking just now", Duan Xuan subconsciously patted his chest and said.

Tao Wei also frowned slightly, worried, "The Greek team's air superiority is too obvious, which has caused us a lot of pressure, so we will neglect to defend the peripheral players."

It seemed like an unsolvable puzzle, but after pondering for a while, Stano on the sidelines made a decision that almost stunned everyone

After Duan Xuan saw the sign on the sidelines to signal the substitution, he suddenly felt inexplicable and said, "What is this for?" What exactly did Stano's mind think? Obviously, the Greek team's air superiority is so great, how could he let Bai Jiajun, who is only 1.70 meters tall, come on the field to replace Zhao Ming, who is 1.88 meters tall? ”

And Tao Wei, who used to be a professional player, although he vaguely guessed Stano's thoughts, his brows were still unconsciously locked, "Is Stano's idea like that?" It doesn't seem impossible, but in the World Cup, does the Chinese team really have that strength? And after playing less than 10 minutes in the first half, the center-back was replaced, which is inevitable" (to be continued......
