The Chinese team is still more suitable for intensive defensive tactics, the height of the two central defenders Wan Jun and Xiao Ting is 1.87 meters, the height of the back **** is 1.85 meters, and even the height of the two fullbacks is more than 1.8 meters.

At the beginning, the Nigerian players were also worried, they didn't dare to get up the high ball and hang it in the Chinese team's penalty area, so they continued to attack the Chinese team's defense with breakthroughs and long-range shots.

Nigeria's individual ability is indeed strong and his body is also strong, and the players of the Chinese team cannot defend Nigerian players one-on-one, so they can only adopt the tactics of fouling and pinching.

However, the referee of this game is British, and the scale of law enforcement is relatively relaxed, which is very beneficial to the Chinese team, and the players of the Chinese team have many large foul actions when defending, such as pulling the jersey, pushing people, and hugging people, as long as it is not a hurtful action, most of the referees ignore it.

The players of the Chinese team slowly figured out the referee's law enforcement scale, coupled with the cheering of the home fans, they all made small moves when defending, deliberately angering the Nigerian players.

Nigeria's players' breakthrough ability is definitely among the top three among the 16 participating teams, and the Chinese team's dense defense is really difficult to stop them, but unfortunately they met a British referee, and the law enforcement scale is very relaxed, so that the players of the Chinese team can foul unscrupulously, which directly reduces Nigeria's breakthrough ability by half.

The Nigerian players saw that the breakthrough did not work, and in desperation, they began to go to the side, playing high balls into the Chinese team's penalty area, and let their teammates create chaos in the Chinese team's penalty area.

Originally, Nigeria felt that the height of the defenders and midfielders of the Chinese team was so tall, and they had the title of China's head team, and it was not so easy to form a chance to shoot when the ball was high.

Especially in the 18th minute, their full-back Adefami's header on the back post made the Nigerians even more obsessed with crosses, and they felt that crosses and headers could probably be the best way to break down the dense Chinese defence.

The Chinese team actually hopes that the Nigerians will take the high-altitude ball, compared to defending the Nigerian's explosive breakthrough, the difficulty of defending the high-altitude ball is actually a little smaller, don't look at the Nigerians can often grab the landing point, but under the interference of the Chinese players, it is difficult for them to top the power and angle, it looks like a pity, it seems that the next time to seize the opportunity, in fact, if you are unlucky, this opportunity may never be grasped.

Although the lethality caused by the breakthrough is greater, after all, there are few opportunities to shoot, and the long pass is inefficient, but it can often be headed at the goal, this feeling of looking closer to the goal is like a drug addiction to the short-sighted Nigerian players, who spent the entire first half in crosses, wide crosses, crosses from a 45-degree angle, crosses from the back ......, the sharp breakthrough and smooth Nigerian team in the group stage and quarter-finals are gone, and now it seems to be an English team on the pitch.

Nigeria is so obsessed with crosses that the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team, Yin Shengtie, on the sidelines, was surprised, and he even thought that Nigeria had practiced high-altitude balls as a secret weapon in the past few days.

The commentator at the scene, He Shishi, joked: "The Chinese team once again sacrificed the magic weapon of intensive defense, in addition, they also drugged the Nigerians and turned them into an African header team, is Nigeria's header really good?" ”

The first half was over with the score 0-0.

The Nigerian players scolded the referee for blowing the black whistle while resting, the Chinese team played too obscenely, and the head coach Siathia stood at the door with a gloomy face and did not speak for a long time.

Siasia didn't think about how to play in the second half, breaking the dense defense is actually just a few moves, even if Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona to play the Chinese team, Mourinho, Ferguson to command, it is nothing more than a long shot, set pieces, individual breakthroughs, the difference is only that the efficiency of the giant team is higher.

In the first half, Nigeria also shot from a distance, hit a set-piece, broke through the individual breakthrough, and hung the high ball, the effect was almost the same, but there was no goal, and West Asia didn't know which style of play could break the Chinese team's goal in the second half.

After some thought, Siaxia felt that it was better to try all kinds of methods, so he said: "The opponent has adopted the most conservative and shameless tactics, which is a severe test of our attacking power, but I believe that you can break through the door of the Chinese team, and there are only a few ways to break the dense defense, in the second half, everyone should actively try, boldly attack, the sooner you score, the better, you really can't score, just wait until overtime to play, don't press too far forward to about 80 minutes, to prevent being attacked by the Chinese team, They knocked out Italy in the quarter-finals with a late goal......"

Siacia laid out the tactics for the second half and pointed out in advance what to do with the various situations that might arise before leaving the dressing room.

Yin Shengtie's expression was very relaxed, the players were also talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was completely different from the game against Italy.

Undoubtedly, this game is more important and the opponent is stronger, but the Chinese team has no pressure to perform now, and no matter how they play, they will be praised in the end, and the mentality is definitely completely different.

In addition, Nigeria played a little funny in the first half, originally what they were best at was individual breakthroughs, but this group of brainless blacks actually played a long pass for more than half an hour, as if their header was very **.

Yin Sheng Railway: "Although the General Bureau did not put pressure on us, but we should have the determination to make history, we are the largest and strongest country in Asia, the football record should be held by us, after the first half of the game, you also saw the strength of Nigeria, they are stronger than us, but in the football game, not necessarily the strong team will be able to win, Italy is also better than us, but we eliminated them the same......"

Beaten by Nigeria in the first half, the Chinese team finally saw the gap between themselves and the strong team, but with the experience of eliminating Italy, they respect the strong and hope to be able to beat the strong instead of surrendering in front of the strong team.

Yin Sheng Railway: "Our strength is not as good as the opponent, we can only defend intensively, but the dense defense is not just a pile of people, you have to run, shout, complement each other, play a more team goal, the last game we were in the final stage of the goal elimination of Italy, this time we still play like this, strive for the final goal ......"

Speaking of this, Yin Shengtie looked at Chen Yu, Sun Hai, and Zheng Hua, "The task is very heavy, it's up to you." “

Chen Yu smiled and said: "If Nigeria still plays like the funny style in the first half, the possibility of us eliminating them is not as small as they will eliminate us." ”

Yin Sheng Railway: "The opportunity is in front of us, we try our best to fight, whether we can grasp it depends on God's arrangement." ”

……

After the half-time break, the game resumed.

There were no substitutions on either side, and the scene of the game did not change much from the first half, that is, Nigeria tried to attack, and the players of the Chinese team defended by unscrupulous means.

This kind of game is definitely not good-looking, because this is not even as good as a training match, there are opportunities to shoot in every round of the training match, and such a half-court attack and defense basically ends in fouls and clearances, and I don't know how many minutes before there is a chance to shoot.

The fans of the Chinese team are in it, and if they care, they will be chaotic, and they will not care if they look good or not, as long as there is a good result in the end, even if the process is bad, it will be the best game.

Nigeria's 108 offensive postures have been used up, but no matter how they attack, they just can't break the goal of the Chinese team, and what annoys Nigerians even more is that the small actions of the Chinese team have not been broken for a single game, which is simply more South American players than South American players, they can't understand why the ancient civilization that has always had a good reputation is so dirty and so obscene.

After 65 minutes of the game, Nigeria still did not score, and the head coach Siathia could no longer hold his breath, he replaced No. 7 Ogbuke with No. 10 Isak, and switched to Okelongkuo with Achebe, and continued to strengthen the offensive with two players who were stronger in attack than defense in a row.

Substitutions are like changing knives, the Chinese team has been defending for so long, and has adapted to Nigeria's style of play, Nigeria suddenly changed two players, and there was a change in the style of play, the players of the Chinese team did not keep up with the rhythm for a while, and the Nigerian players found a chance to shoot.

The newly substituted No. 10 Isak forced a breakthrough and fell to the ground when the Chinese team fouled and forced the ball out.

The referee saw that it was beneficial to the attack, so he did not stop the game and let the Nigerian players continue to attack.

Nigerian striker Ensofol received the ball at high speed and cut it into the Chinese team's penalty area.

Just when Isak fell to the ground, the players of the Chinese team were stunned for a moment, and in this stunned effort, Ensofor rushed to the front of the penalty area, and Wan Jun was in a hurry, fell to the ground and put a shovel, trying to intercept the ball or people on the line of the penalty area.

But the explosiveness of the Africans is really good, and Nsofor accelerated again, and Wanjun's tackle was actually empty, and Nsofor rushed into the penalty area.

The air in the stands almost froze in an instant, and the nervous hearts of the fans of the Chinese team were about to jump out of their chests, those who believed in Buddhism begged for the blessing of the Buddha, those who believed in Christ prayed for God's blessing, those who didn't believe in anything prayed for Ensofor's feet to mix garlic, or Qiu Jun showed great courage and saved Ensofor's single knife.

China's goalkeeper Qiu Jun obviously can't count on anyone, he can only rely on himself, and when Nsofor rushed into the box, he also rushed out of the small box at high speed and went straight to Nsofor's feet.

Nsofor had missed a couple of shots on goal before, but this time he was less confident in his footwork, and he shifted the ball and dodged Qiu Jun's save.

The goalkeeper defended so much that Nsofor had to make the ball a little bigger, but in this way, the goalkeeper passed, and by the time Nsofor caught up with the ball, the ball was almost on the bottom line and the angle of the shot became too small.

Nsofor had no choice but to shoot from a tight angle into the far corner.

The footwork of professional players is not to say, under normal circumstances, where to play, but now after a sprint, passing, and facing the opponent's sharp shovel of the defender, there is no extraordinary physical and psychological adjustment ability, there is no super good sense of the ball, it is difficult to kick a high-quality shot.

The ball did not roll into the net as Nsofor had envisioned, but instead rolled off the far post.

Such a good opportunity was missed, and Ensofor knelt in the penalty area with his head in regret.

When Ensofol passed the goalkeeper, Nigeria's head coach Siacia was angry, feeling that Nsofol was too sticky to the ball, and he didn't hit the goal with a single chance, and what goalkeeper he was, he simply took off his pants and farted to find trouble, and when he saw that the ball was lost, Siasia was so angry that he kicked the wind shield fiercely, and he couldn't go up and slap Nsofor.

The Chinese team escaped death, and the players and fans were happy, happy, frightened, angry, and suspicious of tactics, and their moods were extremely complicated.

At this time, the Chinese team needs to stabilize the most, and it can't be attacked by Nigeria like this again, otherwise it will definitely collapse.

Chen Yu, Sun Hai and Zheng Hua briefly met, and decided that the three of them would form an offensive combination and attack Nigeria from the side to relieve the pressure on their own backfield.
