Chapter Twenty-Three: The Opponent's Destiny

Since revealing Zhen Menglin's old background, Li Boen has not bothered about the rest of the matter, after all, there is such a big trouble, and hundreds of millions of fans and practitioners around the world are staring at it. The teenager put all his energy into this match against Yugoslavia, and there are more than 10 games recorded after the 90 World Cup alone.

Two days ago, when the other players were training, Li Burn and the coaching staff squatted in the room all day, and everyone's notebook was full of technical and tactical analysis for Yugoslavia. Another point that is beneficial to the Chinese team is that Dragan, the special technical and tactical consultant of the national football team in this World Cup, was a Yugoslav international when he was young, and no one in the Chinese team knows more about this team than him.

And Dragan is an extremely dedicated coach, he did not choose to remain silent because the next opponent of the Chinese team is his motherland, and still tried his best to help the national football coaching staff make a detailed game plan, and shared his understanding of the Yugoslav national team with everyone. Just like in the previous life, Dragan left Jiangsu Shuntian to coach Changchun Yatai, facing the old club who was in urgent need of points and relegation, Dragan still led Changchun to win the game 2:0, but the old gentleman said to more than 30 media after the game that he was still a fan of Shuntian after this game.

This is also the foundation of people's success, where are so many people in the arena, doing their own work is the greatest respect for the sport, but also for themselves. Of course, like China's national table tennis demon Zhang Yining to the porcelain doll Ai Fukuhara to give points, there is no such thing, the absolute strength is too bad, and in the case of a steady win, the so-called human feelings and sophistication will not be boring.

Through the warm-up matches before the World Cup and the three group games that have ended, the national football players now have a very clear understanding of their own level, and we are not without the power to fight against these second-rate teams in Europe and the United States. History is written by winners, and victory in the arena is fought for by all kinds.

The earliest meaning of the word victory is to be seen separately. Victory, for the meaning of competence, for the national football team requires every player to be able to play well in their own position, especially in the face of opponents who are stronger than themselves. Sharp, sharp, sharp, means that we must not only be able to defend, but also have the ability to kill the game and the opponent. If you want to defeat Yugoslavia, a formidable opponent, you can win both.

After discussion by the coaching staff, the Chinese team discharged the lineup against Yugoslavia in this game, and this list was also submitted to FIFA 1 hour before the game, and was finally determined as the starting lineup of the national football team for this game:

China 3-2-2-1-2

Goalkeeper: Ou Chuliang

Three central defenders: Fan Zhiyi, Zhang Enhua, Li Wei

Wingbacks: Wu Chengying, Sun Jihai

Defenders: Li Bourne, Jia Wenpeng

Forward: Peng Weiguo

Forwards: Su Maozhen, Yang Chen

The starting list of the Yugoslav team is as follows:

4 Yugoslavia 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Clari (Partizan Belgrade)

Defenders: Mihajlovic (Sampdoria), Petrovic (Urawa Red Diamonds), Djolovic (Vigo Celta), Komutenovic (Duisburg)

Midfielders: Stankovic (Red Star Belgrade), Jokanovic (Tenerife), Stojkovic (Nagoya Whales), Jugovic (Lazio)

Forwards: Mijatovic (Real Madrid), Milosevic (Parma)

Yugoslavia is a team full of pathos, originally a country that could have formed no less than three World Cup top 8 teams. A world-class powerhouse, because the country's fragmentation has led to a decline in the team's record year after year, Li Bern clearly knows that the current Yugoslav team is about to complete their final mission in the Millennium European Championship in two years, and then there will be two more teams in the world, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It's just that the stadium is not a place for us to fake compassion and compassion, Li Boen has made up his mind to let the national football team reach the highest peak in the next 10 years in the first World Cup journey, which is an excellent opportunity to lay the confidence and belief of Chinese football people. In fact, the shortcomings and advantages of this Yugoslav team are equally obvious, they have the ability to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal no matter what kind of opponent they face, but they can also be defeated by the opponent's striker against any opponent. Two years later, they lost 3:4 to Spain in the European Championship, and then faced the Netherlands in the quarterfinals and were slaughtered 6:1.

Yugoslavia's offense mainly relies on two wings, Stankovic, who got a chance to gain a foothold on the left side of the midfield, and Yugovic on the right side are both good players who can pass and shoot, the 1.87-meter big center in the middle Milosevic has a strong ability to grab points, and Real Madrid's positive Indian striker Mijatovic is a typical all-round striker, and the retreating midfielder can organize the team's attack through breakthroughs and passes, and there is a first-class long-range shot outside the penalty area, and he and Stojkovic in the forward position behind him often cross-change, Make the opponent unguardable.

But at the same time, the weakness of the Yugoslav team is more obvious, after watching the 2000 European Cup Yugoslavia lost to Spain and the Netherlands in two games, Li Bern keenly found the opponent's loopholes in the central defender position, and only after getting the opponent's start today did he know that the main central defender of such a second-rate European team is a club from the second-rate league in Asia, and another central defender Although he plays for a La Liga team, the La Liga team last season was only 2 points higher than the relegation circle The record is enough to explain some problems. Coupled with the 4-4-2 diamond position of play, the single back in front of the two big colanders in the middle is not enough to make up for the holes in the back, in the 14 official Yugoslav matches watched by the national football coaching staff, 16 of the 21 goals conceded were defensive errors from the middle, and the remaining 5 goals, except for 2 of the penalty kicks, the remaining 3 goals were also scored after the side passed to the middle.

Before Li Boen opened, he vigorously blew the wind in his ears with Lao Mao'er and Yang Chen: "Brother Mao'er, Brother Chen'er, do you see, the No. 16 opposite, who plays in the Japanese League, hasn't even won a championship, a batch of dishes. There is also the No. 3 next to him, don't look at La Liga, who was almost relegated last season, conceding 64 goals in 38 games. Just these two fools, you two can easily sink them. The defense is handed over to us, and the attack depends on your ability to seize opportunities!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the Yugoslav vs. China match officially began. The pre-match efforts have been done to the extreme, and Leeborn's free kick book has been ruined by several coaches taking the opportunity to discuss which plan to use in the game. Anyway, Yugoslavia's life is already in control, it's like pinching the seven inches of a snake, and it depends on whether it is enough to pinch the other party directly.

Whether the Chinese team's first World Cup will stop and go home, or go further to the top 8, depends on the next 90 minutes of the game.
