Sure enough, the weather did not help Brazil, the heavy rain at half-time, and the start of the second half was even postponed, and the Hong Kong players nervously did massages to relax, and under the supervision of the physical trainer, they ate whole wheat bread and chocolate to replenish their energy.

The Estadio de la Plata is one of the best in South America, with excellent drainage, and before the start of the second half, the staff drove a special vehicle to clean up the water on the course.

"I'll tell you a piece of good news......" Baggio closed the door of the locker room, shook the water on the rainproof suit, and said: "I just went to the sidelines to take a look, the rain is light, the field is almost cleaned, and I saw the head coach of the Brazilian team on the sidelines and was angry at the team leader, hehe, the Brazilian team leader didn't bring spikes to the stadium, and when he saw the rain, he let people go back to the hotel to get ......"

The Hong Kong players laughed out loud in relaxation, where is this time!

"That's it! Hurry up and relax with a massage, and I'll tell you a few words! I just walked to the field to do the test, and there will still be a small amount of standing water, and with the current rain, you can use the spike sneakers now, which also happens to advertise the special rain boots for 'Set Sail'......" Baggio said as he removed the sneakers and socks from his feet and replaced them with rain boots.

Compared to the Brazilian team, which did not even bring long spike shoes, the Hong Kong team did a very careful preparation!

Not only for this game, but almost every game, the Hong Kong team will wear a set of long, medium and short spike shoes, not only to prevent rain, but also to prevent the organizers from spraying water to create slippery before the game.

In the acclimatization practice before each game, Baggio also changes into his shoes and runs around the field to get a feel for himself, even this heavy rain.

Now it feels like the Hong Kong team and the Brazilian team are not football matches, but F1 races, not only about the drivers and cars, but also about the strong and meticulous logistics!

"Zhai! You switch to the left wing-back. Rong, you go to Zhai's position to mark people, and you retreat to the back to serve as a scavenger! Garson, you move to the middle and move to the midfield......" Baggio recounted the fine-tuning of the formation, and after this adjustment, all five European reinforcements were concentrated in the middle.

Setting up their new positions on the tactical board, Baggio said: "Due to the small amount of standing water, the rebound of the ball after landing is absorbed by the water, which is very different from normal weather conditions. Do you remember the training in the rain during the plateau training camp? You remember. Abandon the boccia ball. Especially to give up the middle of the ground to bowling the ball and pour the foot! Three layers of protection, immediately handed over to the left and right sides after the steal......"

After thinking about it, Baggio shouted: ", Coach Sacchi's main point of chain defense in the rain battle. You tell them in Chinese! I'm always a little bit rough converting from Italian to English, and the time is short, so you have to hurry! ”

Chen Zhuo agreed to stand in front of the tactical board and said, "Pick a pass!" Do you understand? You should have all played in the rain at your respective clubs, but I don't know how your coach arranged it, now follow the tactics that Coach Baggio said! ”

Drawing three lines and arrows on the tactical board for the positions of the double midfielders, the double marking central defenders and the dragging central defenders, and drawing two large circles around the left and right full-backs, Chen Zhuo said: "Before, we were a combination of zone defense and man to man defense, according to the adjustment of Coach Baggio. We're going to move into the whole area defense in the second half, and I'm all over the zone except me, to fill in anybody's position......"

"There are three layers of protection in the middle, when the tackle is done. The first time to play the ball here, ......" Chen Zhuo gathered the arrows of the five players on the central axis to the intersection of the middle line and the left and right sidelines, and said: "Use the footwork of picking and passing, hit this area, Ah Feng, Ouyang, when the steal is completed, the two of you will move to the area of the left and right wings......"

"Next, Jianbang, Gangwei, the two of you remember to keep a distance of 10 meters from the two fullbacks, and be ready to receive their return passes! After receiving the return pass, your ball route is the middle circle, Ah Qi, you are in the middle circle, the first choice of the left and right lanes is to pass the ball to you here, and then you pass back to the left and right wings......"

Everyone looked at this set of tactics very carefully, they had this kind of similar "game" before, but neither Baggio nor Chen Zhuo told them that this was actually a set of tactics!

The second half of the game was postponed for about 20 minutes before it started, the Hong Kong team kicked off, Chen Zhaoqi dialed, Chen Zhuo followed up with the volley, but unfortunately the field was slippery, although he wore non-slip spikes, but Chen Zhuo used too much force, and at the moment of kicking, he still supported his feet and slipped, and the ball was high and biased, wasting this opportunity.

Playing in the rain, Brazil's advantage was completely unapparent, with frequent mistakes in ground passes and dribbles, and they always felt so awkward about air passes.

The rain was getting lighter, and Baggio, who had changed into a rain suit and rain boots, did not stay under the bench, he was still standing on the sidelines, wiping the rain from his face from time to time, and shouting loudly into the field.

Macenes was also shouting loudly, and he shouted more to let the four players in the front court run up to participate in the counter-robbery!

Unlike the blind destruction in the first half, when the court was slippery in the rain and prone to mistakes and conceding goals, the Hong Kong team began to pass and control the ball instead!

In terms of rain battles, the five European players are not even as experienced as the five local players of the Hong Kong team, the climate in southern China is rainy, and the Hong Kong Professional League always has to have some games in the rain every year, so the rain war has become a skill that all Hong Kong club teams must master!

The reason why it has become a dense middle of the five European reinforcements, allowing Hong Kong local players to carry out peripheral semi-high ball passing cooperation, the reason is also very simple, in addition to the danger of peripheral side passing mistakes is lower than that of middle mistakes, Baggio also wants to use this way to mobilize the Brazilian team players, attract them to press forward and grab, and use this way to consume their physical energy!

Rong Aping and Xie Jiaqiang closed the door to block Neymar, Chen Zhuo moved the ball to the left and handed it to the unmarked Zhai Tingfeng, after Zhai Tingfeng calmly stopped the ball, Robinho ran over slowly, Zhai Tingfeng took a few steps to the opponent's half, saw the Brazilian team's defender Ramires pounced, and the opponent's right-back McCone also pressed forward, and passed the ball to the middle circle with one foot and handed it to Chen Zhaoqi.

Ganso, who was in the middle, was some distance away from Chen Zhaoqi, and Lucas Rewa, a defender from Liverpool, did not take close pressure on Chen Zhaoqi, and waited until Chen Zhaoqi stopped the ball before pressing it separately.

Stopped the ball and adjusted, seeing that a player was pressing, Chen Zhaoqi passed the ball back to the left fullback Guo Jianbang, who had already run back to the middle line and saw that there was a long distance from Guo Jianbang, so he stood in place and did not mean to run over, Neymar ran from the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Seeing Neymar pounce, Guo Jianbang made a big foot, hung the ball diagonally horizontally, and passed to the right defender Ouyang Yaochong, Pato chased back, the left fullback moved to the middle to grab, Ouyang Yaochong kicked the ball to Chen Zhaoqi, who moved to the vicinity, Chen Zhaoqi did not pause and transferred the ball to the right defender Luo Gangwei......

"Diagonal pass! Let Ouyang run up! Chen Zhuo shouted.

Just now, Chen Zhaoqi should pass directly to the opponent's half, the left fullback of the Brazilian team has already reached the midfield position, and the left corridor is a flat river, which is just conducive to Ouyang Yaochong, who is wearing non-slip spikes, to play the speed advantage......

"My, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Chen Zhuo shouted, Luo Gangwei picked it lightly, passed the ball to the edge of the big penalty area, Chen Zhuo made a long pass over the top, and Ouyang Yaochong and the overall back line of the Brazilian team ran over quickly.

Due to the lack of timing, the Brazilian defenders were already prepared, and Ouyang Yaochong still had a gap in speed compared with Pato, and finally failed to seize this opportunity to counterattack.

However, this series of cooperation won warm applause from the scene, including the first three group games, the Hong Kong team is very rare to exceed the three-legged pass cooperation, and the counterattack is even rarer, except for the "Victoria Roundabout" of Chen Zhuo when playing against Bolivia, the Hong Kong team in the eyes of South American fans is a team that can only destroy the defense!

But just now, Chen Zhuo -- Zhai Tingfeng -- Chen Zhaoqi -- Guo Jianbang -- Ouyang Yaochong -- Chen Zhaoqi -- Luo Gangwei -- Chen Zhuo ...... After 7 large-scale passes, a long pass over the top, during which the Brazilian team did not touch the ball, this kind of cooperation allowed the live audience and the viewers watching the live broadcast to get to know the Hong Kong team again!

The camera shows Baggio in a raincoat on the sidelines, clapping his hands vigorously to cheer on the players on the field.

The camera was given to Chen Zhuo again, he shouted Chen Zhaoqi, and used gestures and movements to tell him about the handling of the ball just now, which should be directly diagonally passed behind the left back pressed by the opponent, Chen Zhaoqi also raised his hand to indicate that he received and understood Chen Zhuo's meaning.

When the camera showed Meneses again, the coach was also standing on the sidelines, the Brazilian team did not even prepare long spikes, let alone prepare raincoats for the coaches, and they also shouted to the field with rain, but Menezes in the camera made the audience feel a little embarrassed!

"Ah Ping! Come back, I'll go to the side road......" Chen Zhuo greeted loudly.

Under normal circumstances, when Chen Zhuo wants to make temporary adjustments to Baggio's deployment, Baggio will agree, of course, the premise is that Chen Zhuo will also communicate with Baggio before the adjustment, and the scope of the temporary adjustment should not be too large, and the two of them will have this tacit understanding.

Rong Aping did not hesitate to retreat immediately, and at the same time shouted to let Garson's position retreat, let Ouyang Yaochong's position lean towards the middle, and a series of positions were adjusted accordingly.

Due to the slippery field due to the weather, the success rate of short passes was greatly reduced, and the Brazilian team also began to shift the center of attack from the center to the flanks amid Menezes' shouts.

Compared with the "Ganso-Neymar" combination, the players of the Brazilian team are still more willing to trust Robinho and Pato, and now in this kind of field conditions, Robinho's delicacy is slightly inferior to Pato's speed, so the two backs frequently attack from the left side, and Chen Zhuo, who saw this situation, also made a decision and made adjustments in deployment.
