"Isn't that the same as it was four years ago? At that time, Alihan just wanted to replace defense with offense, but he failed to qualify from the group, and now Stano is actually doing the same, so it is better to let Alihan do it until now! What are we asking him for? When Liu Jianhong heard this, he frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction with Stano.
At this time, the guest Gong Lei defended Stano, "It's still a little different, 433 is not as extreme as 343 after all, and Stano is a head coach who is good at defense, under his coaching, when the national football team wants to defend it, most of them can hold it, which is something that the national football team during the Alihan period can't do." The reason why Stano has chosen the offensive football style that he is not the best at now is because our offensive line is already at the top level in the world and has the ability to do so, which is fundamentally different from the Alihan period, when the level of the players did not meet the requirements, but they still had to be tough. ”
"That's what I said, but you see that this game is playing like this now, I think it's better for Stano to play defensive counterattacks honestly, even if the team has this condition, he can't be good at it himself!" , Liu Jianhong's face looked a little better, but it was obvious that he was still a little worried.
And Gong Lei's confidence is obviously more than his partner, "Although I have conceded two goals in a row, the advantage of the national football team is still obvious, as long as my mentality is not disordered, I believe they can win this game and reach the quarterfinals." ”
The boys of the national football team did not disappoint the senior, in the 34th minute, the right back of the Chinese team, Zhang Linpeng, after receiving the ball on the side, suddenly noticed that the goalkeeper of the Mexican team seemed to be standing a little forward, and immediately did not hesitate to shoot directly. Although at this time his position is not yet above the halfway line. However, although the distance is so far, Zhang Linpeng did not live up to Gao Jun's evaluation of him "China's first long-range shot", the ball kicked out was fast and accurate, and only flew towards the goal of the Mexican team!
Because Zhang Linpeng's kick was too far away from the Mexican goal, the players on both sides barely realized that his kick was a direct shot at first. It wasn't until the ball flew close to Mexico's penalty area that their veteran goalkeeper No. 1 Oscar. Perez reacted and desperately stepped back to prevent the shot from reaching the net, but because he was so short, even if he stretched his arms straight, he couldn't even touch the edge of the football, and could only watch in despair as it flew into the empty goal behind him
Zhang Linpeng's kick shot was so unexpected, and the camera shifted too quickly when he got up. So for a while, even the commentator Liu Jianhong was confused, "The ball went in?" Am I right? Really in? Does the goal work? OMG! ”
"Yes, we scored, Zhang Linpeng scored a very wonderful world wave!" , and the guest Gong Lei reacted earlier than his partner, but it wasn't until he watched the slow-motion replay that he finally understood how wonderful Zhang Linpeng's shot was. "It's incredible, Zhang Linpeng got up before he passed the middle circle. This should be more than 60 meters, right? OMG! It's unbelievable! Haha, Jianhong, what I said before was right? We won this game! ”
Zhang Linpeng's shocking shot was like Beckham's famous work back then, and the fans in the stadium were fascinated, and even the Mexican, who was the opponent, applauded him with complicated expressions, at this moment. The charm of football itself transcends victory and defeat! And the Chinese fans in the stands are even more cheering, this goal is so exciting, and it basically lays the victory of the national football team, for them, this is a double enjoyment!
"You kid!" "You're really there!" "Can you get in like this?" ”。 The teammates seemed to forget that the game was not over, and they all rushed to Zhang Linpeng at once, congratulating the young man who is only 21 years old in different ways, and Staro, who was on the sidelines, also widened his eyes and shouted and high-fived the coaching staff and the players on the bench one by one, venting his inner excitement and happiness
Zhang's brilliant lob that could well be the best goal of the tournament made his teammates quickly regain their composure and the game returned to the rhythm of the Chinese team. In just a few minutes after that, the Chinese team formed a siege in front of the goal of the Mexican team, and there were five attacks on goal, but unfortunately they were unlucky and could not expand the score again. But even so, going into the second half with a two-goal lead was quite advantageous for the Chinese team.
Maybe the game went well, and Du Wei, who was originally going to be replaced after halftime, looked very healthy, so he changed his mind and decided to let Du Wei play on the field for about 20 minutes. And Du Wei did not disappoint Stano, a few minutes after the start of the second half, he seized a corner opportunity to score again, helping the Chinese team to further expand the score to 5:2, Mexico is not the favorite to win the championship like Argentina, only half a game with three goals behind, which can almost be said to be a definite defeat.
Although it has a three-goal lead, the Chinese team was not satisfied, and in the 56th minute, Xie Wenjun received a precise straight push sent by Gao Jun to break through the net, expanding the score again, and completely determining the victory of the game. Three minutes later, Stano replaced Du Wei and Xie Wenjun, who had made great contributions in the game, and also instructed the players on the field to slow down the pace of the game to save their bodies. Because Stano is well aware that the next round of the national football team is the real challenge, and it is not wise to waste too much body of the main players for this game that has already been decided to win
According to the schedule of the World Cup in South Africa, the winner between China and Mexico will play the winner between Germany and England in the quarter-finals, and the next match between China and Mexico has been played before the start of this game, but Stano did not tell everyone for fear of affecting the mentality of the international players, but he himself knew it. In the German-British battle that started 4 and a half hours before the battle between China and Mexico, the German team unexpectedly swept the England team 5:0, showing their strong strength beyond imagination, and also made Stano, who wanted to lead the Chinese team all the way "black", feel like a boulder weighing a thousand pounds, "How can such a strong opponent win?" ”
After the Chinese team replaced the two main players, the Mexican team suddenly felt a sense of pressure, even if the morale is low now, they quickly launched a fierce counterattack, although the hope of equalizing is very slim, but to be able to pull back a goal or two goals can at least save a little face, losing to the Chinese team four goals really made them a little shameless
However, Bai Jiajun is like a nemesis of the fast technical flow of play, and he has defused the offensive of the Mexican team again and again. Due to the communication with his central defender partner at halftime, as well as the right wingback Zhang Linpeng, who is mainly responsible for defense, and the two back midfielders, Bai Jiajun did not give the Mexican team half a chance after the start of the second half. On the contrary, the Mexican team attacked too fiercely and led the empty goal on the back line, but Gao Jun used a signature long-distance run to break through the goal again in the 68th minute, and the score on the field was rewritten to 7:2.This goal also completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Mexican team, after which they didn't even have a shot on goal, and the Chinese team also stopped taking the initiative to attack in order to save body and worry about injury, and the score of 7:2 was maintained until the end, and the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup!
The national football team reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time, and also played such a hearty victory, after the game, the faces of each international player were filled with excitement and joyful smiles, but after learning the results of the Anglo-German war, the smiles on almost everyone's faces instantly froze, and even Gao Jun's eyes couldn't help flashing a different color
Although he already knew that as the butterfly effect caused by his own crossing continued to increase, the advantage of the traverser's foresight would continue to weaken, Gao Jun still couldn't help but exclaim, "What? Germany won England by five goals? ”
And after watching the video of that game, Gao Jun's face sank like water, "It's very different from history, if England didn't suffer a misjudgment in history, there is still hope to turn the tables, and in this game in the video, England lost completely without temper, they didn't get even one absolute scoring opportunity from beginning to end, but they were poured five goals in a row by the German team, this German team is too strong, it can be compared with the 2014 World Cup."
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Jun suddenly smiled bitterly, because he had figured out that the pace of German football revival had accelerated to this point was inseparable from the butterfly effect caused by his crossing. When Gao Jun played for Dynamo Dresden, both Neuer and Hummels grew up faster and better than in history, the former is already the undisputed number one goalkeeper in his eyes, and the latter, although he has not yet reached his peak, has already established himself in the German national team, far better than the history of South Africa World Cup when he did not even make the squad.
Add to that the fact that Neuer left for Bayern earlier and spent more time at the same club as Hummels, and he has a much better understanding with the rest of the German national team's backline than it has been at the same time in history, so it's no surprise that the German national team's backline is now solid enough to keep England from even scoring good chances in the game. With a good defense, Germany's attacking players will naturally be much calmer, and as the best scorer in the world, Gao Jun knows how much of an impact this has on his ability to take chances (to be continued......
