Sports City Stadium.

The World Cup belonging to the Chinese team officially kicked off.

From the moment Luo Guofu kicked off, the scene entered an exciting rhythm.

There is no other reason than because this is the World Cup!

Whether at the scene or in front of the TV, every Chinese fan does not want to miss a single picture on the field.

The majestic cheering is shocking, and the spectacular Chinese red in the stands is enough to go down in history!

The experienced Uruguay did not pick up speed immediately after the opening.

On paper, the Chinese team is weak, and Uruguay is strong.

But Uruguay really doesn't know much about the Chinese team.

Except for Ye Yifeng, the strength level of the other players is only roughly understood in the pre-match opponent analysis.

What the actual combat will be like, maybe some time to test and observe.

Take 10,000 steps back, and the Chinese team is also the top 16 team in the last World Cup.

Ye Yifeng sits in the midfield, although to be exact, the Chinese team played a 4312 formation, and there are three midfielders behind him.

But at the beginning of the game, Ye Yifeng's position was still even more delayed.

Xu Xin assisted in the defense of the right side, Li Ke assisted in the defense of the left side, and Ye Yifeng and Wu Xi blocked in the middle.

Alan and Lo Guofu actively counter-attacked near the halfway line.

The situation is clear at a glance.

The Chinese team put on the lowest posture to play defensive counterattacks.

If you just put a bus in front of the door, it's called a dead guard.

And now they still have room to fight back.

Uruguay continued to switch sides to try to advance, and they were reluctant to play in the middle.

These players in the midfield, Ye Yifeng knows their strength very well.

Bentancur and Torreira, to say that they are defeated is to be too arrogant.

But in terms of offense, they have limited impact and creativity.

Although he has not played against Vecino, the opponent's position is not as direct a threat as the traditional midfielder in terms of ball handling options.

Therefore, the offensive and defensive core of the game naturally became whether the Chinese team could withstand the continuous impact of Uruguay.

At least they don't have to worry about being beaten through the defence by Uruguay's subtle combination.

Uruguay doesn't have that ability.

The Chinese team's attack is very simple, the back three and the full-backs try to pass the ball to Ye Yifeng's feet, and then the Uruguayan team will form a blockade of Ye Yifeng's line.

Luo Guofu and Alan have to distance themselves from each other, allowing Ye Yifeng to freely choose the target of the pass, but when the ball is passed to the feet of the two, the forward attack can only rely on the individual ability of the two or form a simple cooperation.

The Uruguayan defence is full of famous players or former top defenders, although they are older, but the two forwards of the Chinese team are not much of an attacking threat, and they have been constantly attacking and failing to create shooting opportunities.

Lippi was calm on the sidelines, while Gallardo was equally calm.

Gallardo could not see the attacking threat of the Chinese team.

As long as Uruguay maintains at least four defenders who can resist the Chinese team's double striker attack head-on, then nothing is lost!

What he was most worried about was naturally Ye Yifeng's sudden insertion.

This requires the midfielder to keep an eye on the defense at all times, while the full-backs on the back line gallop to the middle to cut off the passing line between the front line and Ye Yifeng.

The experienced Uruguay were easy to deal with, at least defensively under their control, without any panic in the face.

After 20 minutes of the game, the Uruguayan team began to attack at an accelerated pace!

The tentative phase has passed.

The Chinese team's joint defense is indeed very active, and at the same time, the picture of Uruguay's individual ability bringing local advantages does not appear.

Then we must rely on the frequent impact of the group to see if the Chinese team can withstand it!

When Nandez and Vecino plus veteran Cáceres assisted to form a local triangle pass system on the right side of the frontcourt, Wang Shenchao and Li Ke could only block the inside line and give up the outside line.

Defensive pressure surges!

When Uruguay thought they could play to the advantage, to their surprise, Lo Guofu actively returned to the wing of the backfield to participate in the defense.

His pressing may not be able to break the ball, but it can disrupt the rhythm of Uruguay's attack.

When Vecinone received Nandez's pass, he was swept away from him before he could touch the ball.

The Uruguayan team immediately became nervous.

Ye Yifeng!

Ye Yifeng directly stepped on the ball, changed direction and began to dribble forward.

Nandez and Vecino chase back.

Cáceres knew that it was too late for him to defend himself, so he decisively stepped forward to block it head-on.

Ye Yifeng stepped on the bicycle with his right foot, and the ball with his left foot changed to the right front and rushed forward.

When he passed by Cáceres, the latter decisively pulled him to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Cáceres, yellow card!

Gallardo gritted his teeth secretly.

Cáceres was playing so early in the game, which was a bad sign.

Three minutes later, Uruguay switched sides and played on the left.

Ye Yifeng stayed in the middle this time and commanded Wu Xi to help defend the side.

Xu Xin and Wang Gang coupled with Wu Xi's initiative to grab, Uruguay's attack did not play a regional advantage, and it messed up the rhythm first.

Bentancur crosses the ball down the middle.

Vecino took the initiative to answer when Ye Yifeng suddenly grabbed the card position, and after the two fought physically, Ye Yifeng completed the break, and after sinking his shoulders and faking the back, he cut the ball back to get rid of Vecino and dribbled forward.

As soon as he started, he was pushed from behind and fell to the ground.

He threw himself on the ground and rolled over to look.

Suarez offered him a hand of friendship.

Ye Yifeng was pulled up by the opponent, but after getting up, he put pressure on the referee.

The referee took out the card again, and Suarez was yellow!

Chinese fans have mixed feelings.

Uruguay is not a fool!

Fans who have seriously watched the performance of the Chinese team in the last World Cup know that the Chinese team more or less caught the opponent off guard in the last World Cup.

Ye Yifeng has just ascended to the super giant throne, but he is playing in the back!

The opponent looked confused.

Failed to lock him down and restrict him in all directions.

The result is on the road.

But judging from Uruguay's performance after the start of this first game in this World Cup, their blockade of Ye Yifeng is still very good.

If you can't prevent it, you will foul.

No worries.

Even if it weakens their own fault tolerance.

But shouldn't the use of foul tolerance be used in the most dangerous moments?

What is the most dangerous?

The Chinese team's mid-leaf striker's possession threat is the most dangerous!

The yellow card is worth it!

After 30 minutes of the game, Uruguay's style of play that relied on simple cooperation in successive groups to frequently attack the Chinese team's defense did not work.

The Chinese team has a lot of defenders, and Ye Yifeng commanded the midfielder in the middle to assist in defense, and at the same time he made up for the interception, which had a good effect.

On the contrary, the two strikers of the Chinese team entered the state, Luo Guofu and Alan still have a clear ability to control the ball is stronger than the national football players, although they lack speed, but at least they can play a dozen in the frontcourt.

It is not a deterrent to Uruguay's defense, but a stage like the World Cup will make Uruguay's overall formation retreat.

Give the Chinese team's midfield and backfield time and space to breathe and reshape and adjust the defensive line.

Uruguay switched their style of play again.

The midfielder tried to control the ball to create a pressing scene, Ye Yifeng commanded his teammates to fight and retreat, and never rushed up.

When Bentancur and Vecino entered the dangerous area of the attack.

Ye Yifeng raised his head without looking back, pointing to the front area of the penalty area behind the side.

Li Ke and Xu Xin immediately went to stand at the key position, and the defense line contracted.

When Luo Guofu and Alan retreated into place to actively press, Wu Xi immediately stepped forward to form a joint defense, and the three of them joined forces to encircle Vecino and Bentancur.

Bentancur immediately passed the ball to the wing.

That's the best option and the safest option.

But Ye Yifeng moved!

He decisively rushed to the side, plus Li Ke and Wang Shenchao formed an encirclement and suppression of Nandez!

Although in the end, it was Li Ke who broke the ball out of the sideline when he broke the ball.

However, the Chinese team still managed to limit the opponent's attack.

Ye Yifeng clapped his hands to boost the team's morale.

Everybody's doing a good job.

In particular, the two strikers retreat and counter-attack pressure is important for the defense.

Although this is definitely at the cost of fitness, Luo Guofu and Alan are also the most expensive players.

Gallardo was starting to get a little upset.

The Chinese team did not put on the super bus of 5 defenders and 6 defenders cowering in the penalty area.

Ye Yifeng's performance in midfield command and dispatch is very dazzling.

Uruguay kept switching their playing styles, using methods that had a higher success rate, but they still couldn't stand the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese team's wolves.

There is no doubt that the Chinese team is in a huge passive position on the field.

The fans in front of the TV felt very depressed and nervous when they watched it.

The fans at the scene must have this kind of emotion, but they are constantly shouting and cheering!

At least the Chinese team did play as a team and showed a commendable fighting spirit.

The naturalized players did not disappoint them.

For them to appear on the World Cup stage for the first time, it will also be the most important journey of their lives with fond memories of football.

As the game drew 40 minutes, Uruguay began to shoot from distance!

The Chinese team did not shoot on goal, and Uruguay did not shoot after the opening.

They are well aware of the need to put pressure on the Chinese defence, bringing some psychological panic, and long-range shots are certainly a regular means.

It's just that they have been avoiding playing the middle before, afraid that if the middle penetration is not broken, Ye Yifeng will advance past their midfield with a backhand, and they will be too passive to defend back.

When Torreira came up to meet Vecino's diagonal return pass and hit a long-range shot, Ye Yifeng gestured to his teammates.

Hold steady, don't grab easily!

Outside the 25-yard area in front of goal, the opponent has to shoot from distance, at will.

The strength of the Chinese team cannot be all-encompassing, all-round, and blocking and restricting any opponent in the World Cup.

If the opponent World Wave is pregnant, admit it.

If the opponent's long-range shot creates chaos, a player makes a follow-up shot or other circumstances cause the goal to be conceded, admit it.

That's the part of football that has to be recognized.

Because it's determined by strength.

If you don't admit it, you have to strengthen the anti-robbery to limit the opponent's long-range shots, and there is a high probability that there will be a situation: it does limit the opponent's long-range shooting threat, but let the opponent seize the gap exposed by the anti-robbery by interspersing the running position and play the penetration threat!

It is true that Uruguay does not dare to close the distance of long-range shots too closely, after all, the pressure on the defensive line after conceding the ball may not be able to withstand it.

Before half-time, Bentancur's long-range shot was saved by Wang Dalei.

Then Xu Xin's header cleared, Alan controlled the ball and wanted to launch a fast attack, but Uruguayan full-back Moreira destroyed the ball out of the sideline in time.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the half.

China 0:0 Uruguay!
