When the Chinese team competed in the World Cup for the second time, it still did not adapt to this stage.

There are many masters here, even if they are not the world's top traditional powerhouses, they also have their own characteristics and profound technical and tactical strength.

In contrast, the Chinese team is like a child who has not yet grown up, naively fantasizing that it can defeat its opponent with some illusory factors.

Qin Xiong will find it difficult for him to get the ball unless he returns to the midfield to receive it in the game.

If he is waiting for his midfield teammates to deliver the ball to him, the question is: will his teammates be able to get the ball to his feet with precision?

Hard!

And if he retreats to the midfield and backfield, the problem will be clear at a glance.

He plays the role of playmaker, Li Jinyu, Shao Jiayi, Zhang Pengfei, and it is difficult to create difficulties for opponents in the rush and the final kick.

If he plays the role of a striker, he will face a tight encirclement by his opponents, which will inevitably slow him down and put him at high risk of losing possession.

And if he rushes directly towards the front line, there is no problem, because it is a futile battle, and the attack will not advance to the front line at all!

Organize, advance, end.

Three different tasks, Qin Xiong has changed from the initial playmaker role to the frequent switching between the three in the past two years at Arsenal, and he is often able to play two roles in his wonderful games.

Organize joint advancement.

Or push for a joint end!

However, in the Chinese team, it is impossible for him to switch back and forth between these roles, and it has even become difficult to juggle them.

Because the Chinese team does not have Cesc Fabregas, there is no Henry. There is also no Piret with the attribute of the forward midfield.

An overall change in technique and tactics is based on the characteristics of each player on the team.

The operation of the Chinese team is actually very smooth. It's just that you can't threaten up front. Within thirty yards in front of goal, it was difficult to form an efficient shot.

Qin Xiong tried a long-range shot and flew out of the stands, he delivered cannonballs for Zhao Junzhe, and Zhao Junzhe did not dare to rush into the penalty area, only dared to shoot a long shot on the periphery, and could not test the Mexican goalkeeper at all.

Mexico, on the other hand, frequently used quick raids from the wings after switching between attack and defense to create opportunities for the strikers.

Mexico's two wide players, Pineda and Perez, are both players of the type of player who is less than 1.7 meters tall. The body is not thin, the foot frequency is fast, and it is full of agility.

After they burst into the wing, they used the cross as a means to create opportunities for the two strikers who were more than 1.8 meters in size, and it was difficult for the Chinese team's back line to contain the opponent's double strikers if they only relied on Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, and more often it was Liu Yi who retreated to the back line to increase the number of defenders, plus his own confrontation advantage and tall stature to defend the air.

Just when all the spectators thought that the situation was relatively stalemate, the Mexican team once again instigated a regular attack in the 34th minute of the game.

Perez shook off Shao Jiayi on the right side and went to the bottom line, and the Chinese team's back line immediately retreated, afraid of Perez's 45-degree cross on the side, in that case. It will give the striker space to rush forward, and it will be more conducive to the striker's header.

When Perez came to the edge of the box. He didn't challenge Sun Xiang, but passed the ball horizontally!

This pass surprised the Chinese team's defense, perhaps because the opponent's high-altitude cross was played too many times, and it was already used to it, and the Mexican team suddenly passed horizontally with the ground ball, but it was a little uncomfortable.

The forward Fonseca is actually a big man of more than 1.8 meters, he squeezed Zhao Junzhe and then grabbed the ball on the line of the big penalty area to make adjustments, and then suddenly shot out in a relatively relaxed environment!

The football rolled diagonally into the penalty area, passing through the space between Liu Yi and Zheng Zhi, Liu Yunfei immediately moved to the right side of the goal, and then made a flying save, reaching out to block the ball rolling towards the goal, but he was slow, or Fonseca's shot was too tricky.

The ball rolls into the goal from the bottom right corner of the goal!

The Mexican players ran frantically to celebrate when they saw the team score, while the Chinese players felt overwhelmed by the pressure!

Lost the ball!

"Mexico opened the scoring! The 26-year-old Fonseca received Perez's cross from the side and fired a low shot into the far corner of the goal, the goal of the Chinese team did not do a good job of protecting the penalty area, Zhao Junzhe was not decisive enough in the supplement, he did not take foul measures to curb Fonseca's breakthrough, in the pre-match analysis, there have been many media emphasized that Fonseca, one of the few players in the Mexican team who is more than 1.8 meters tall, has a strong sense of grabbing points in front of the goal.

Now the Chinese team is in adversity, if they lose to Mexico, it will be extremely difficult to qualify from the group, and our next opponent is Portugal, and Mexico's opponent is Angola. ”

Many Chinese fans in the stands felt as if they had suffered a huge blow.

Perhaps because Mexico is not from South America and Europe, the football powerhouse group, fans do not know much about the Mexican team, and naturally they do not feel how strong Mexico is.

In fact, looking at the whole green world, what level is the Mexican team at?

But the core of the problem is not how strong Mexico is, but as long as Mexico as a whole is significantly stronger than the Chinese team, this is enough!

Looking at the Mexican team, the most famous one is Marcos.

And what about a second look at the Chinese team?

Apart from Qin Xiong, who else can make the opponent extremely vigilant?

Without.

The Chinese team suddenly became a frightened bird after conceding the ball, and the players were afraid that the conceded goals would follow, so they took the initiative to shrink the formation to strengthen the defense.

Mexico, on the other hand, did not lose its mind after the morale was boosted.

They may have a higher consciousness than the Chinese team, have more experience in the competition, and have a clear goal.

To qualify from the group, the biggest difficulty is not the Portuguese team, but the Chinese team and the Angolan team!

The first half of the game was over, and Qin Xiong's World Cup journey ended 45 minutes before that.

He walked towards the players' tunnel with a solemn expression.

The brutality of the World Cup made him realise that this was far more stressful than the league and the Champions League.

It is no exaggeration to say that today is a battle of life and death!

The Mexican team's technical and tactical restrictions were very successful.

The overall strength of the Chinese team is not as good as the other party, except for Qin Xiong's one-on-one advantage, there is no other point that can threaten the Mexican team.

After containing Qin Xiong, the Chinese team, which had become dependent on Qin Xiong, was naturally unable to create a threatening offensive from the whole or part of the cooperation.

It was only the first game, and the situation of the Chinese team became extremely difficult.

Back in the locker room, Alihan immediately began to adjust his offensive thinking.

Of course it's going to attack!

There is no point in defending.

He found the brutal truth in the 45-minute game.

The Chinese team did not have a goalscorer who could threaten the Mexican team!

Marcos kept Li Jinyu in his shadow when he was locked in the back line, and even Zhang Pengfei cut inside and Shao Jiayi's side transportation repeatedly ended at the feet of Marcos.

There may be only one person in the Chinese team who can threaten the opponent: Qin Xiong! (To be continued......)
