Chapter 377: The Last Yugoslav Team
Although the Roman side is not a problem.
But the terms of the players are still very troublesome.
Especially when a very powerful agent like Mendes and a coach like Arsene Wenger who likes to do big things with little money meet, the result cannot be discussed for a while.
On June 27, the quarterfinals have begun.
With goals from Totti and Vieri, Italy eliminated Norway 2-0.
Brazil's 4-1 win over Chile also qualified.
A day later, hosts France eliminated Paraguay 1-0 in extra time.
Denmark beat Nigeria 4-1.
The time came on the 29th.
Today's showdown is between Group E and Group F.
They are Germany and the Netherlands.
There are also the Chinese team and the Yugoslav team.
Toulouse Municipal Stadium.
When warming up, Lin Supo knew that today would be a fierce battle.
And interestingly, today was the last time he met the Yugoslav team.
Because in 1992 the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was dissolved.
This time it was Serbia and Montenegro who teamed up for the World Cup, and two years later they would play in the European Championship, and then there was no Yugoslavia.
A legendary name vanished.
That sports power can only be turned into ink in the history books.
Director Zhang is also emotional.
"It's not easy for the Yugoslav team to participate this time, I don't know if we won't see them one day, the once powerful Yugoslav team is still star-studded, but now their nature has changed from a national team to a joint team."
"The captains of the two sides exchanged team flags, and Lin Supo behaved very friendly."
"Let's talk about the lineups of both sides today."
"First of all, the Chinese team is still using the previous formation, and Mu Shuai's tactics have been verified in the game, and there is no need to change. The Chinese team is 4231, and there are some minor adjustments to the lineup. Goalkeeper Qu Chuliang, defenders Mao Yijun, Zhang Enhao, Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, the midfielder is still Fan Zhiyi and Li Ming's partner, before the European training camp This is the main midfielder, the two wings are replaced by Shaparev and Li Ti, the front waist Shen Si, and the single striker Lin Supo. ”
"Mu Shuai's thinking can be said to be very clear."
"The Yugoslav team likes to play in the middle and the side defense is weak, so let Shaparev go to the side to break through. Therefore, a good coach is to adapt to local conditions, adjust tactics according to the opponent's lineup, and play in a targeted manner in order to achieve good results. ”
"Next, let's talk about the Yugoslav team."
"The Yugoslav formation is 4321. The goalkeeper is Yoon Karaji.
Defender Goran Djolovic plays for Celta Vigo in La Liga.
Needless to say, Mihayinovich, Sampdoria's master of free-kicks.
Komlenovic in Duinsburg in the Bundesliga.
Mirkovic plays for Atalanta in Serie A.
In midfield is Jokanovic of Tenerife in La Liga.
Brnovic plays for Espanyol in La Liga.
Petrovic plays in Nancy in Ligue 1.
Striker Vladimir Jugovic was previously at Juventus before moving to Lazio last season.
Captain Stoyinkovic plays at Nagoya Whales.
And the striker is even more famous, it is Real Madrid's Mijatovic. ”
"It can be said that this Yugoslav team is star-studded, these players are the absolute main force in the club, and many players are core players, so today's game is definitely not easy."
The fans in front of the TV were also numb when they heard Director Zhang's introduction.
I thought I was forming a temporary team, and I didn't have much strength.
At first glance, these players are powerful enough.
It doesn't sound any worse than the Netherlands, the strongest team in the group.
At 8 p.m., referee Aranda blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Yugoslavia showed absolute technical superiority from the kick-off, and their one-touch passing ability was even more exaggerated than that of the Netherlands.
And most importantly, discipline!
In the match against the Netherlands, Chinese fans have seen many times that Dutch players have complained to their teammates about not passing the ball.
But Yugoslavia played very reasonably.
Obviously, these former Yugoslav players cherish the opportunity to play for their vanished homeland.
Today's two wings were replaced by Mourinho on the more aggressive wings.
Attempt to open the situation in the opening phase.
But this choice also made the Chinese team's frontcourt defense drop a lot.
The Yugoslav team constantly attacked forward with short passes.
The ball reached the feet of Jokanovic.
The core player of Tenerife made a straight stopper and found Yugovic in front of him with two players 20 meters apart!
Lin Supo, who was chasing back, saw his scalp tingle.
Jugovic himself dribbled the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area.
As soon as Li Weifeng grabbed it, Yugovic immediately kicked it straight.
Zhang En was quick and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
"Almost."
"It's dangerous for this ball to be given over."
"But it's Yugoslavia's throw-in."
Lin Supo, who returned to the backcourt, reminded his teammates to be careful, and he rushed up to force the robbery.
The ball is thrown to Yugovic.
Facing the old rival of Serie A, Lin Supo used to be a tackle.
The ball went out of the touchline again.
This time the Yugoslav team chose to throw it in the backfield.
Full-back Goran Djolovic picked up the ball and immediately moved a long ball to the left.
Mirkovic received the ball and began to sprint down the left flank.
Lin Supo looked at it and ran to the other side.
But when he passed, Mirkovic gave the ball back to the right again with another big foot.
Mourinho pursed his lips.
My teeth are crushing.
He has already discovered the conspiracy of the Yugoslavs!
Because the Chinese team's defense is piled up in their own half, there is no way to use the depth, so the Yugoslavs want to use the width of the field to pull the Chinese team's formation.
No matter how fast a defender runs, he doesn't have as fast as the ball.
Keep taking advantage of the width of the court, and when there are holes in the Chinese team's defense, you can immediately find opportunities to attack.
Damn fox!
Mourinho was angry.
I didn't expect the Yugoslavs to be so cunning, they still used a trick, and Mourinho didn't think of this method at all before.
The individual ability of the players of the Chinese team is a little worse, and they need many people to help defend together, so it is easiest for the Yugoslavs to succeed.
But Mourinho didn't have a good solution.
People's long passes are so accurate, repeated long passes, oblique long passes, just don't lose them.
Seeing Mihayinovic receive the ball and drive to the front of the field and find Mijatovic accurately, Mourinho's heart almost jumped out.
Do you want to exaggerate that?
A defender kick 60 meters?
Mijatovic has also shown what a Real Madrid star should be capable of.
In the face of a long pass, Mijatovic, who had his back to him, cushioned the ball again with his right foot.
Then he turned around and used his chest to push the ball into the box.
Immediately afterwards, he ran into the penalty area and fired a volley.
Ou Chuliang didn't expect Mijatovic to shoot directly at all, and it was too late by the time he saved.
In the opening 13 minutes, Yugoslavia took the lead thanks to Mijatovic's goal.
