While the momentum in the dressing room of Hong Kong, China was excited, and in the dressing room of Saudi Arabia, head coach Anjos was also giving the players the final advice.

'Ignore what the opponent said before the game, his purpose is to affect our form. "We will play according to the tactics normally, according to our style, no matter what the opponent is, I believe that as long as we can play in form, the victory will definitely be ours!" ”

"Also, be sure to remember to be patient!"

Anjos began to emphasize patience, watched a few videos of the Hong Kong, China, and found that Hong Kong, China can score, many times because the opponent is impatient, so Hong Kong, China took the opportunity to counterattack and score, "Be patient, play more steadily, as long as we don't fall behind, we don't have to worry about anything." ”

Anjos didn't say anything more.

In fact, he also guessed in his heart how Hong Kong, China will play, yesterday the Chinese said to play a beautiful technical flow football, watching Manchester City's style of play, maybe you can think about how Hong Kong, China will play, but can Hong Kong, China adapt to that tactic in a short time?

Anyos didn't know.

But normal attack, Saudi Arabia is not afraid, they have the advantage of strength, they have the advantage of player ability, too much guessing how the opponent will play, in fact, it is not very meaningful, he knows this very well, so he did not tell the players how the opponent will play.

Finally, Anyos also emphasized the atmosphere of the scene, everyone knows how many people come to support Hong Kong, China, this is the advantage of 'Chinese', there are too many Chinese in Southeast Asia, when Hong Kong, China is close to the final, the game almost becomes Hong Kong, China's 'half home', he is worried that the player's state will be affected, "Don't pay attention to the voices in the stands, I believe." This game will be ours! ”

――――

After the two head coaches made their final admonitions to the game, the two teams were soon on the pitch.

When the players of the two teams walked out of the tunnel separately, everyone felt the atmosphere of the scene, just like what I saw before, there were too many fans who came to support Hong Kong, China. In addition, compared to Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, China is a dark horse team, and the dark horse also represents the 'weakness', compared with Saudi Arabia, a traditional Asian strong team, Hong Kong, China is much worse in terms of fame, for neutral fans. Supporting a disadvantaged team is a very normal mentality, coupled with Wan Sheng is the biggest star on the field, many local Indonesian fans follow the Chinese fans to support Hong Kong, China, the tendency of the cheers on the scene is obvious.

The support of the fans made the atmosphere very much more inclined to Hong Kong, China.

This is good news for Hong Kong, China, many players are all excited to enter the field, and the Saudi players on the other side are just silent.

"Damn ......"

Seeing many Chinese fans at the scene, Saudi coach Anjos was very dissatisfied. He felt that he should complain to the AFC and that more tickets should be allocated to Saudi fans.

Of course. It's impossible.

Even if more tickets were allocated to Saudi fans, there would not be so many Saudi fans who would travel all the way from West Asia to Indonesia to support Saudi Arabia.

Chinese fans clearly have a numerical and geographical advantage.

Wan Sheng's performance was very different from Anjos, and after playing with the team, he was in the dugout, waving to fans in all directions. It was as if he had become the protagonist of the whole stadium, and the fans shouted in response.

"Damn the Chinese!"

Seeing Wan Sheng's appearance, Anjos scolded again, he was not angry for long, and the game soon started under the referee's whistle.

After the start of the game. The media began to analyze the game.

There was no surprise in the lineups of the two sides, the only change in the formation of Hong Kong, China was that Chen Zhaoji's position seemed to be withdrawn, and the formation of Hong Kong, China became 451.

A striker's position is a little bit back, it's not a big deal, he's still on the pitch, and his position is also earlier than the other midfielders, so it doesn't have much impact on the formation and tactics.

The Saudi side has nothing to say, the two strikers Yasser and Malek are up front, the midfield is a five-man combination led by Aziz and Kahtani, the back three are Hathaway, Al-Khidari and Moussa, the standard 352 attacking formation, as coach Anyos said, they are obviously going to play a technical flow of attacking football.

Seeing Saudi Arabia's formation, and then looking at the 451 in Hong Kong, China, the media also remembered what Wan Sheng said before the game, "...... I'll make the team play beautiful attacking football, that's what I've always done. I've been getting used to a new way of attacking in recent times, and that's going to give the team a whole new look......"

Just looking at the formation of the two teams, there is a real possibility that the game will turn into a clash of technical flow football!

The media is starting to look forward to it.

――――

Perhaps thinking that the team was much stronger than Hong Kong, the first wave of Saudi Arabia's offensive did not end quickly, they played very steadily, and continued to pass and receive the ball in the midfield.

It's like declaring the 'sovereignty' of the midfield.

The Hong Kong players went up to grab the ball a few times but couldn't get it, so they had to shrink the defence appropriately, and then the Saudi Arabians launched an attack, the first of which ended with a shot high over the crossbar.

But the Saudi offensive did not end, and after Hong Kong, China played a goal kick, they grabbed the ball again and continued to besiege the Hong Kong penalty area.

In the end, Saudi Arabia got two shots on goal, and there was a corner kick opportunity, and the football was cleared by Liu Quankun, and the attack was over.

This wave of attacks, which lasted for five minutes, with both shots deflecting off the woodwork, was not too high-quality, and the corners failed to catch the attack, and overall, Saudi Arabia was not very efficient in the first five minutes.

Of course, no one expected Saudi Arabia to score goals so quickly.

But the five-minute offense still let the media and fans see that Saudi Arabia has an absolute advantage on the field, and when the football is at their feet, they use the ball to cooperate and constantly pass it, and it is difficult for Hong Kong, China to grab the ball, that is to say, it is difficult for Hong Kong, China to compete for the initiative with Saudi Arabia in the midfield.

This is the difference in the strength of the two teams.

When Hong Kong, China won possession, Saudi Arabia also quickly completed the retreat, and the formation moved back in a big way.

At this time, the advantage of Saudi Arabia's all-attack and all-defensive football is reflected, they press very high in attack, and they can quickly adjust when defending, quickly changing from an offensive formation to a defensive formation, and do not give the opponent any chance.

By the time Hong Kong crossed the ball across the halfway line, almost all of the Saudi players were already at the back.

Seeing that Saudi Arabia is so tightly defended, Hong Kong, China has also lost the opportunity to attack quickly, and at this time, they can only attack in a dignified manner.

A lot of media are looking forward to it.

Before the game, Wan Sheng said that he was going to have a 'technical flow' football encounter, just now Saudi Arabia's offensive played well, and now it is the turn of Hong Kong, China, they want to see how Hong Kong under Wan Sheng can play technical flow offensive football.

Then, they saw that Hong Kong, China, began to play a constant pass and catch match.

Luo Zhikun passed back to Li Weiwen, Li Weiwen crossed and transferred the central defender Liu Quankun, Liu Quankun then transferred to Pan Yaozhuo, Pan Yaozhuo passed forward to Chen Weihao, and Chen Weihao transferred to Chen Weihao......

The continuous passing seems to be very smooth, but everyone is very puzzled, because Hong Kong, China has no intention of passing forward, and has been constantly falling in the backfield.

Liu Jianhong, a CCTV commentator, said, "Hong Kong, China is playing very steadily, and they are not in a hurry to pass forward, but are ready to take the ball first......

Other media commentators shared similar sentiments.

"Hong Kong, China is playing very steadily, they are not in a hurry to attack, it seems that they are looking for almost. Well, the Saudis should be careful. Saudi state radio commentator Riori reminded.

The Saudi players on the field of play also held the same opinion, they kept watching Hong Kong's passes, two forwards came to the front court to press, and the others were cautious in their positions, not giving Hong Kong any space.

But after a while, everyone felt that something was wrong.

It's weird!

That's not right!

Hong Kong...... China Why not attack!

On the playing field, I saw Chen Weihao pass the ball forward to Huang Zhenyu, who did not continue to move forward, and passed the ball back to Chen Weihao.

Yashier came over to force the robbery, and Chen Weihao crossed and transferred to Liu Quankun.

If this is the case, it can be understood that Hong Kong, China wants to seek stability, but when the football reaches the feet of Liu Quankun, the problem arises.

Saudi striker Malek just ran to the other side, and did not rush over to press, which was tantamount to a waste of physical energy, so the football was at the feet of Liu Quankun, and he slowly carried forward.

That speed is like a turtle crawling again.

Kick, take a step forward, kick again, take another step forward, slowly, slowly, after 5 or 6 seconds, Liu Quankun also walked out more than two meters.

Malek on that side looked stupid, he didn't understand what the other party was doing, or Yashier couldn't help but run over to force it, and then Liu Quankun handed the ball to Chen Weihao horizontally.

There seems to be a cycle between several defenders and midfielders in Hong Kong, China.

The ball kept passing at their feet, and there was no sense of passing forward at all.

Three minutes passed.

For three minutes, it was as if the Hong Kong players were on the training ground, training and passing the ball as if no one was around.

"What the hell are they doing?"

The Saudi players are a little confused, they don't know what the other side is doing, why don't they rush to attack when the football is at their feet?

They're all set!

The fans in the audience couldn't figure out the situation, they didn't know why Hong Kong, China played like this, and did it make sense for football to be passed around in the backfield?

The reporters in the media gallery also looked at each other.

Only Anjos in the Saudi coach's bench understood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "They...... They're just killing time!! (To be continued.) )
