It's never the talent that has constrained African teams from achieving historic breakthroughs at the World Cup.

Although football on the African continent has long been reduced to a tool for international bookmakers to enrich themselves, they have been following the path of external cultivation for nearly half a century.

Send African children to Europe for vocational training, and then form a strong national team through the Overseas Army.

Every World Cup has seen African teams led by some of Europe's most famous A-list players, but their overall results are still not enough to shake the status of Europe and South America.

Whether it's Costa Rica eight years ago or Sweden four years ago, when they set the World Cup quarter-finals, African teams were wiped out outside the quarter-finals.

When it comes to squad strength, African teams have always had the potential to be dark horses.

However, there is a shackle on them, which is a long-term stubborn disease.

Tactical prowess.

How to blend powerful individuals into a whole is a tactic.

How to make the most of a team's strengths and avoid weaknesses or adapt correctly to the situation of the game is still a tactic.

At this point, the strength of African teams has always been very weak, compared to Europe and South America, it is like the distance between master and disciple.

Senegalese coach Cisse with dreadlocks went viral at the last World Cup for his exaggerated memes on the sidelines.

His qualifications are definitely legendary in Senegal.

In 02, Senegal created a dark horse miracle to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and Cisse was one of them.

Twenty years later, he led the team to another World Cup, and Cisse felt he had strengthened his technical and tactical experience.

Leading Senegal, which is stronger than 20 years ago, Cisse does not dare to say that he wants to eat the Chinese team, but he is confident that Senegal will be able to match its former glory.

The Chinese team's aggressive attacking stance at the beginning surprised Cisse quite a bit, but he immediately made adjustments.

He gestured to the team.

The Chinese team wants to attack, that's good.

Let's fight back!

Let the world audience see the on-the-spot adaptability and tactical strength of our African team!

Qatar World Cup due to the tight schedule,

All participating teams will be tested on their physical fitness.

As a result, technical and tactical encounters have a higher impact on the outcome of the game.

If Senegal is fit, they will be beaten for 90 minutes.

But they fought three games in the group stage, which was not much easier than the Chinese team.

The physical foundation of the Chinese team is relatively disadvantaged, but after all, their three group games are defensive counterattacks, except for Ye Yifeng, the overall consumption is less than that of other teams.

Senegal played on the counter-attack, and the Trident waited for his chance in front.

When they organized an offensive to the front, they found that the Chinese team had also retreated.

Mane is the strongest in the front, and Mane's individual strength is a first-line, not yet at the superstar level, when the Chinese team does not suffer from the pressure of the opponent's soldiers, two or three players can still control the opponent's threat through crowd tactics.

Senegal is patient.

But suddenly found that the offensive threat of the Chinese team was instantly reduced.

Ye Yifeng instigated an offensive in the midfield, Fernando answered in the front, and Li Ke or Xu Xin in the midfield would only go up one.

The offensive threat is naturally pitifully low.

Senegal defended successfully with ease.

The game slowed down instantly, and the Chinese team's attack and Senegal's offensive and defensive pictures were surprisingly similar.

All of them are local encirclement and suppression with more prevention and less prevention.

Cisse, who was standing on the sidelines, wondered if he had made a mistake in his judgment.

After 20 minutes, the scene was extremely boring and dreary.

Senegal wants to play defense, but the Chinese team does not play an overall attack.

A lot of time was wasted.

And the pace of the Chinese team's own offensive is also very slow.

The two teams are like playing tacit ball, and neither of them really draws their swords.

Cisse gestured to his team again, tentatively stepping up the attack.

Lippi did not move on the sidelines, just watched the game seriously.

He didn't need to make adjustments.

Ye Yifeng controlled the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Chinese team on the field.

And the players around him are acting with him.

It made him feel at ease.

Senegal is on the move.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng led the team to charge again, he took the initiative to pull the edge and cooperate with Xu Xin against the wall, and advanced all the way to the bottom line.

Then a cross is sent in front of the baseline.

The ball flew over the goal in a large arc and crashed to the back of the penalty area.

Fernando's header from a tight angle goes wide.

Although it failed to hit the target, it still scared Senegal.

Senegal's quick run of a simple cross up front was followed by Sarr cutting in and a long-range shot from outside the box that flew over the crossbar.

The Chinese team launched another attack from the left flank.

Ye Yifeng played more actively on the left side, facing Kouyate's help defense, he knocked the ball behind him CHOP to complete the inward cut, and after encountering Gueye, the heavy shoulder fake shook and then Marseille slalom and successfully rushed forward.

When he was about to be caught in the middle of the attack, he immediately sent a through ball.

Fernando went into the box and shot straight at goal, but defender A-Diallo made a tackle to block the bottom line.

Coach Cisse looked confused on the sidelines.

Have you been fooled?

The Chinese team is lustful?

So he asked the team to strengthen the defense.

After the Senegalese formation retreated, Ye Yifeng stopped attacking.

His physical fitness today is actually very stretched.

It's hard to do a sustained impact.

Take a rush, take a break.

It's just that there was no flaw when he rushed up, so that others couldn't see that he was actually strong on the outside.

The physical condition is never a matter of whether you can run on the field, but how long you can run.

From the first 120 minutes of physical fitness to play 90 minutes of the game, it is no problem to maintain the high intensity of the whole game for 90 minutes.

One game a week, no injury, no problem.

But now it's the fourth game in 11 days to play the World Cup!

Ye Yifeng may only have 90 minutes of physical energy today, but he can't exhaust it all in 90 minutes.

Because when it comes to the knockout round, you have to worry about extra time, especially as the underdog.

The game went into a dull rhythm again, and the Senegalese players were a little impetuous.

Although their physical fitness is not full, they are too afraid of the Chinese team and make them a little crazy from the psychological level.

But they must also obey Cisse's arrangement.

After all, in the group stage, Cisse's on-the-spot command amazed the outside world.

It is believed that the technical and tactical strength of African teams has improved considerably.

Half time, 0:0.

After the Chinese team returned to the locker room, Lippi immediately poured chicken soup into the team.

At the same time, the team was asked to focus on Senegal's movements in the second half.

Once Senegal can't hold back its emotions and wants to launch an onslaught, it will be the decisive moment!

Lippi's strategy for this game is to drag!

If the Chinese team wants to defeat the strong with the weak, the Chinese team with anti-counter tactics must drag out opportunities in the knockout round, where both sides are more cautious.

But dragging it does not mean that the national football team is waiting to be beaten by the opponent.

Instead, from time to time, sneak attacks the opponent in a wave, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, interfere with the opponent's mentality, and make the opponent full of concerns.

Although it is not clear who has the advantage between the Chinese team and Senegal on the scene, it can be said that it is half a catty.

But the Chinese team is the weaker side on paper after all, so it can be said that Senegal is led by the nose by the Chinese team.

In the first half, the Chinese team could not be said to be successful, but at least it was above the passing line.

The two teams returned to the field and changed sides to play again.

Cisse was actually a bit messy at half-time.

He really couldn't figure out what the Chinese team was thinking today.

As soon as the second half came up, the Chinese team launched a strong attack again.

This time, Fernando, Li Ke, and Xu Xin passed the ball back when they encountered the opponent's backline interception in the front court.

Ye Yifeng rushed past Gueye's side, stopped and took two steps before taking a long shot!

The ball flew straight to the bottom left of the middle of the goal, and Mendy made a solid save to save the ball.

The pressure on the Senegalese defence increased sharply.

Naturally, the defense was strengthened, but the Chinese team retreated.

Senegal seemed to be repeatedly teased and teased by the Chinese team, and when they opened up to meet the Chinese team, the Chinese team turned away.

Lippi didn't squint on the sidelines, but he was thinking about Cisse's psychology in his heart.

If Cisse can have the courage to break through the cauldron and the firm belief to advance to the quarterfinals.

He should let the whole Senegalese army attack!

For the strong, simple and rough is sometimes more effective than strategizing, and the bigger the gap between strength and weakness, the more effective simple and rough it is!

But Cisse doesn't seem to have properly assessed the overall quality gap between the two teams.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the Chinese team with Ye Yifeng is like holding a nuclear weapon.

The more Cisse wants to win, the deeper his worries and the heavier his ideological baggage!

He wants to be foolproof!

He doesn't want to be the second Uruguay, the second United States, or even the defending champion France mocked by the media!

The Chinese team's previous counterattack against Uruguay and the United States was similar, and the opponent failed to win the attack, but was broken by Ye Yifeng!

How can we not learn a lesson from the bloody past?

Senegal's offensive was one-on-one from start to finish, without showing an overall threat.

Mane is also difficult to do, just as Ye Yifeng did not try a dragon when he broke through in the front court today, and he also knew that it was impossible to overturn the whole game.

The goal is obvious, the opponent is deployed layer by layer, if you can pass it if you think about it, Boss Mei can at least have at least two Hercules cups.

After 70 minutes, the tempo slowed down further.

Cisse felt like he was in a dream.

Stupefied.

Looking at the big screen, I can't help but sigh: where has the time gone?

The two teams occasionally have moments when the rhythm picks up, but they are both intimidating each other, and it doesn't hurt.

The picture that the Chinese team expected the Senegalese army to start the decisive battle never appeared.

Lippi is very clear that the decisive battle must be led by Senegal, and the Chinese team does not have the capital to pour out to start the decisive battle.

And after 70 minutes, Senegal was even more worried!

Mane once told them in the locker room: If we can't win the Chinese team before 75 minutes, we will have to defend Ye Yifeng with all our might!

Because 75 minutes later, that was the moment when Ye Yifeng dominated the game!

On the contrary, Senegal is more defensive.

And Lippi has to start thinking about how to make substitutions.
