"I didn't even run into him! This bastard is definitely a fake fall! Sergio Busquets angrily pleaded to the referee, and his team-mates gathered around to put pressure on him, but the referee still insisted on the decision. Busquets, who was furious, saw that the penalty was irretrievable, and lost his mind when he lost his mind, blurting out and scolding, "You can't even see that kind of low-level performance? Are the eyes white? ”
The referee's ears were very sharp, and when he heard this, he was so angry that his hair stood up, and he immediately ran to Busquets and took out a ruby card and sent him off directly. Seeing the unusually eye-catching red card, Busquets calmed down, but at this time, no matter what he did, it was impossible to save the situation, so he could only walk out of the stadium dejectedly, and continued to mumble in his mouth, "That's really a fake fall, it's a fake fall, such an obvious fake fall, why can't you see it?" ”
"Hey, my acting skills are not as superb as yours, but your guy is already notorious, and the referee must be holding a magnifying glass to watch, even if the acting skills are flawless, he may not be able to succeed. And I'm a well-known good guy in world football, even if my acting skills are not as good as yours, it's easy to deceive the referee, now you should understand the disadvantages of always engaging in these crooked ways, right? Gao Jun watched Professor Bu go down, and sneered in his heart.
But to be honest, Gao Jun didn't expect Busquets to lose his mind and take the initiative to apply for a red card, so the game suddenly became not very interesting, if this penalty was scored, the Spanish team played one less and fell behind by two goals, even in the heyday it may be difficult to turn the tables, let alone now. Although Gao Jun has never had the habit of showing mercy at his feet, after all, the current advantage is not very bright. It would be too much to beat the Spanish team to death. Therefore, Gao Jun took the initiative to leave the penalty area, and whoever loves this penalty will be punished!
Although he really failed to score the penalty after that, and Casillas's miraculous watch saved the Spanish team that was almost in a desperate situation, but this made Gao Jun serious again, and the Chinese team went on the offensive after that. He scored two more goals and finally won with a score of 5:2. Due to the fact that there was one more person on the field in the last twenty or thirty minutes, the possession rate of the Chinese team in this game was much higher than Gao Jun's expectations before the game, and with the world's best offensive efficiency of the Chinese team, if the table with more than 42% possession in the face of the Spanish team could not win, it would be a real ghost
Although Gao Jun's fake fall in this game caused a lot of controversy after the game, it was still a great success for the Chinese team to successfully reach the final of this competition for the second time. But for the upcoming Confederations Cup final, even the media and fans in China are generally not optimistic. Because the opponent of the national football team will be the host Brazil team, which defeated the Chinese team 4:2 in the group stage, and compared with the first game, the Brazilian team in this game has a huge advantage, Adriano, who was injured before the start of the Confederations Cup but was still put in the list by the manager, returned from injury in the last game
Although he has a world-class sports nutritionist as his wife, Adriano has obviously lived a much more disciplined life in the past few years, but his style of play is very dependent on physical elements, and he has inevitably begun to decline in the past two years, especially the speed that can only be regarded as relatively fast has declined so much that Ade can now basically only play the traditional high school striker in the standing pile style. But his overwhelming terror remains. And the technique and awareness have improved compared to when they were younger, such a big black pillar to stop in the forbidden area. It is enough to make the Chinese team's backline like a big enemy. Even if the national football team relies on dense defense to contain Adriano's play. But the Brazilian team has never been a one-man team, not to mention anything else, Neymar, who is in hot form in this tournament, is enough to give the head coach of the Chinese team, Stano, a headache, not to mention that there are so many world-class stars in the Brazilian team
"What should I do?" Stano found himself in a puzzle that was almost unsolvable, it stands to reason. In the face of an opponent with strong attacking power, it is more pragmatic for the team to shrink the defensive line and counterattack, but the problem is that Bai Jiajun, a short central defender who is currently strong in the national football team's backline, is not suitable for this style of play. If the defensive line is recycled, then the Brazilian team can reuse the Achilles' heel of the lack of air defense on the Chinese team's backline. With the ability of the Brazilian team to seize the opportunity, the national football team will lose worse than in the group stage.
And if you don't send Bai Jiajun on the field, it would be a pity, if the attacking players who can prevent death by himself are handed over to other central defenders, often neither of them can be completely blocked. What's more, in the face of the Brazilian team's further amplified terrorist attack under the home advantage, even if the Chinese team recycles the defensive line, the central defender composed of Zhao Ming and Feng Xiaoting may not be able to withstand it, their personal ability is still a little worse after all, and both of them lack the big heart and concentration of Bai Jiajun, and it is difficult to ensure that there is nothing wrong under the pressure
"Or? Such? Perhaps it was a rush to make a wit, racking his brains Stano suddenly had an idea, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, Gao Jun also expressed his support for it after learning about it, so the matter was decided, although it seemed a bit risky to make such an adjustment before the war, but if this game was not adventurous, the Chinese team had no chance of winning at all.
Stano's idea is actually not unusual, but Bai Jiajun is arranged to the fullback position, as the head coach who has led the Chinese national team for several years, Stano naturally knows that Bai Jiajun does not play the full physical fitness in the fullback position, but if you give up inserting assists and concentrate on only responsible for defensive work, it should still be no problem.
In this way, the Chinese team's back line will be much more stable, although there is also an alternative style of play of height suppression on the side, Gao Jun did this back then, but the consequences of being suppressed on the side are not as strict as being pressed by the middle of the high school forward and scoring with a header. Moreover, Bai Jiajun in this time and space is nearly 7 centimeters taller, and his strength and bounce are even better, and the simple tactics of predicting the card position and going around the front defense to deal with the direct rush still have a high success rate.
However, the current Brazilian team just has a characteristic of killing Bai Jiajun's Hulk, and Bai Jiajun was exploded by this monster in the previous group stage, so Bai Jiajun must not be allowed to play against Hulk again. Fortunately, although Hulk is very fierce, his weaknesses are also obvious, and this guy's offensive method is mainly to cut inside and shoot with his backfoot, and his cross technique is relatively cold (passing the ball is still okay, but Bai Jiajun's best thing is to intercept this kind of pass. And his right-footed shot is miserable, so it can only appear in the right winger position, so just put Bai Jiajun in the right-back position, and there is no need to worry about the two matching
And Bai Jiajun moved to the position of right back, and Zhang Linpeng, the main right back of the national football team, was liberated and could play the back he liked and was good at. In fact, Zhang Linpeng is tall and strong, fierce in defense, and has a long-range shooting kung fu that can be called the first in the national football team, which has always been more suitable for the defensive back position, but because the position of the right back of the national football team is lacking, and the candidates for the defensive back are more abundant, so he can only play fullback in the national team, and now he can be happy
Zhang Linpeng moved to the back waist position, and Cai Huikang, the original main force of the national football team, was dismissed as a matter of course, and Wang Jiayu, who was excellent in these games, was also put on the bench. The reason is very simple, since the Chinese football team is ready to resolutely defend and counterattack in the finals, then Wang Jiayu, an organizational back, has no place as a matter of course, and it is the king to discharge two defensive backs to form a double insurance, and although Yang Hao, who regained the chance to start, is positioned as a defensive back, he can actually share part of the organization's work, and Zhang Linpeng's breakthrough and passing are also much stronger than Cai Huikang. The double back of these two may not be enough for the positional attack, but if it is just a defensive counterattack, it is more than enough
Two defensive midfielders can greatly strengthen the Chinese team's midfield defense, but in the face of Brazil's strong offensive ability and home advantage, Stano is still a little worried, so Yu Hai, who was excellent in the interception forward position, was withdrawn to the back line as a universal patch, and played with Zhao Ming as a central defender. Yu Hai is tall and strong, has excellent headers, and his one-on-one defensive ability is second only to Bai Jiajun in the national football team, and he also has excellent awareness and concentration of assisting in defense, and he also played well in the competition. After Yu Hai retreats to the position of central defender, it can greatly make up for the security risks of the weak air dominance of the Chinese team's backline, and if it is necessary or a good opportunity arises, Yu Hai can also step forward to participate in the attack even if he is in the central defender position.
In other words, although Yu Hai has never played the position of a libero since the Beijing Olympics, whether in the national team or in the club, he still has a case of participating in the attack and making important contributions to the team since then. And what is commendable is that Yu Hai is a very sane player, he is not as hot-headed as Lucio, who was not fully mature back then, and just left his defensive position rashly because he wanted to attack. Coupled with the rich game experience accumulated over the years, Yu Hai has always been one of the most reassuring Chinese internationals in Stano
Yu Hai stopped playing in the front waist, and the young martial arts king got the opportunity to start again, but he played the winger position in this game, and the front waist was played by Gao Jun, and the heavy responsibility of the center was handed over to Xie Wenjun, which is mainly due to the strength of the four bodies and the needs of the position, everyone is an expert, and no one has raised objections to the head coach (to be continued......
