Chapter 1072 Is This the Argentine Team?
Greece, the creator of the fairy tale of the 2004 European Cup, but that was already 10 years ago. The three-goal defeat to Colombia in the first round was a nightmare for them. Basically, the Chinese team can qualify if they draw with Greece.
The next day, Chinese reporters began to follow Greece and interviewed their coach.
Greek coach Santos said: "Although everyone thinks we can only defend, we are actually a team that likes to attack. We are always trying to create opportunities and hope to achieve perfect passing and receiving. Although we lost to Colombia, our The style doesn’t change.”
"Against China, we will not only bring out our defense, but we will also play a beautiful offense."
"But it was Rehagel's Greece back then." The Chinese reporter was not polite at all. "Ten years later, Greece may not be able to do it."
"Football is unpredictable and we are confident."
"..."
The interview reports were posted on major domestic media websites, and Chinese fans laughed.
"Santos is quite confident."
"The level of Greece ten years ago will be the level of Greece ten years from now. He still wants to defeat the Chinese team. I don't know what he is thinking. After this game, Greece will definitely get out."
"The bookmaker is now directly offering odds of one goal, one and a half goals, and they are not optimistic about them at all. I don't believe this is a bait. They are just optimistic about the Chinese team. The second round of games is always better than the first round. Even better. I’m optimistic that the Chinese team will beat them 2:0 or 3:1. If it’s bold, it can be more than 3 goals.”
"The Chinese team will qualify early, absolutely."
…
There is a lot of discussion about Greece in China. The team's preparations are in order. Like the last World Cup, Krauchen has strict requirements during preparations.
The Wang Yongpo incident happened in the last World Cup, which was quite a famous incident in Chinese football. This time, the team's discipline is much better and everyone is very conscious.
Since that incident, Wang Yongpo has not been called up by the national team for four years, and the national team has never expressed its intention to recruit him back in front of the media. This may be Wang Yongpo's lifelong regret.
On the 18th, the Chinese team's training was open to the public for 15 minutes. A reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily mentioned this matter and interviewed Zhu Heyuan.
"Will Wang Yongpo never be able to return to the national team?"
"During the national team competition, non-related matters will not be discussed."
Zhu Heyuan blocked the reporter's mouth with one sentence. It was obvious that he did not want to discuss Wang Yongpo and had nothing to discuss.
The reporter could only change the interview topic, "I heard that Sun Jihai is expected to return to the starting position?"
"I don't know where you got the news from. How come I don't know? Of course, you can interview Krauchen. He is the marshal of this team."
"But he won't accept interviews?"
"Then there is nothing I can do, but he will attend the press conference. These problems are not problems. What we need now is a quiet environment and prepare for the game."
Because Zhang Linpeng did not perform well before, everyone thought that Sun Jihai would become the starter again. This was also a helpless move for the Chinese team.
If possible, who wants to use a veteran in his thirties?
Although nothing has been said at the national team level, there is already a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Some fans suggested that Sun Jihai should be played as a central defender instead of a right back that requires a lot of physical fitness.
"At Sun Jihai's age, he is suitable to play as a central defender or a fullback. The fullback requires a lot of physical fitness, but the central defender does not. He can take Dewey's position."
"Sun Jihai plays as a central defender?"
"What a surprise."
"This is a stroke of genius."
"He has never played as a central defender in the national team before, right?"
"Playing as a central defender at this age, except for his slower turning speed, the rest is very good. He often plays like this in the club. The combination of him and Feng Xiaoting may be an unexpected surprise."
"In fact, you can also consider using Zheng Zhi as a central defender.
With the current midfield configuration of the Chinese team, it is entirely possible to consider allowing Zheng Zhi to play in the back and straighten Deng Zhuoxiang. "
"Zheng Zhi plays central defender? Haha, I found that the masters are among the people. I really admire it. Sometimes our thinking is nailed. Indeed, letting Zheng Zhi retreat and play central defender is a pretty good choice, whether it is Zheng Zhi or Sun Jihai, both of them are qualified for this position. As for Zheng Zhi’s original position, it can be given to Deng Zhuoxiang. But for such a key game, it is too risky, because in the third game against Colombia, we I dare not say that I will definitely win. Therefore, I think Krauchen may not dare to take such a risk."
Then, a new netizen jumped out and gave a third solution.
"You guys are stupid."
"I think as the game progresses, Krauchen may become more and more conservative. For example, he may put Dong Fangzhuo back in the midfield. Dong Fangzhuo has played a lot of time in the midfield over the years, and then Zheng Zhi will withdraw as a defender. Position. As for the forward line, why...don't you consider Wu Sanshi?"
"Holy shit! That's awesome. This idea is so great. It's possible, really possible! But can Wu Sanshi shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring goals for the Chinese team?"
"..."
The next day, at the Chinese team's pre-match press conference, Krauchen first talked about the online discussions about the Chinese team's tactics.
"I think Chinese fans are the smartest fans in the world. They seem to be a roundworm in my stomach. They already know it before I even say it."
Wow,
There was an uproar.
No one has really seen the Chinese team's training recently. Everything is just speculation. I didn't expect that Krauchen really planned to change something.
"The Chinese team has shortcomings. Although the shortcomings are not obvious, they may affect us."
"We are a team with ideas. Since we know our shortcomings, we will make adjustments quickly. I am not a conservative coach. I dare to take risks. I know what this team has and what it needs. So. , I will make changes.”
This sentence was so powerful that the reporters pricked up their ears.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were also curious as never before, and the Greek coach Santos, who had not yet attended the press conference, also put his head in front of the TV. He wanted to see how Krauchen would play.
"Our defense has a bigger problem, and I will make adjustments."
"Captain Zheng Zhi will return to the central defender position."
"Dong Fangzhuo returns to midfield."
"On the forward line, Wu Sanshi will be the forward."
Wow,
There was another uproar at the press conference.
This change is not a big one. And this game is not unimportant. But Krauchen just changed.
"What about Sun Jihai?"
"He will still be the backup."
"But depending on the situation, he might get more playing time."
Krauchen released three very strong messages. He did not trust Dewey, and he did not trust Zhang Linpeng that much, but he trusted Wu Sanshi.
※※※※
"Bold, so bold."
"Allowing Wu Sanshi to serve as a forward will weaken the Chinese team's scoring ability."
"But the offensive organization is stronger and the defense has also strengthened."
"There are pros and cons, but overall it's good. The risk is worth it."
But Santos's reaction was very pale, because he didn't like Krauchen's change of formation.
"Farke."
"This guy……"
Dong Fangzhuo is recycled in the midfield, which means that it is difficult to prevent him from taking the ball and organizing attacks. The Greek team's midfielder will have a headache. The experienced Zheng Zhi returns to the central defender, which also adds obstacles to Greece's offense. He still likes Dewey in the back...
Three hours later, at the Dunes Stadium in Natal, the Greek and Chinese teams will face off.
CCAV5 has already broadcast live at the stadium in advance.
Commentator Duan Xuan said bluntly: "Klauchen always brings us adventures and surprises at the most important moments. He has led China for ten years, and in these ten years, he has never had a real failure. Today he used actions again They told us... Of course, we should still choose to trust them."
"The starting lineup of the Chinese team today will impress everyone. Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders from right to left are Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Zhu Ting, midfielders Huang Bowen, Dong Fangzhuo, Zhao Xuri, forwards Hao Junmin and Wu Sanshi , Feng Renliang. Although I think Gao Lin may be more suitable, Wu Sanshi is actually good. Playing against the Greek team, maybe Gao Lin will not suffer physically, but China does not need to fight physically and high-ball. It just needs to play ground attack. Dong Fangzhuo The purpose of retreating to the middle is to create more offensive opportunities. This is something that neither Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen nor Zhao Xuri can do, although they are also good. The 433 and 4231 formations are completely performed by the Chinese team Free formation."
"Over there in Greece,"
"Goalkeeper Karnesis; defenders Holebas, Papastathopoulos, Manolas, Torosidis; midfielder Maniatis, Cone, Samaras, Kachu Ranis, Fetfazidis; forward Mitroglu, it can be said to be a 4231 formation."
"Both sides have now come out of the player tunnel. We can see at the scene that nearly half of the fan seats are occupied by Chinese fans, and many Greek fans have also come. They and Brazilian fans have divided up the remaining fan seats. .”
"In this World Cup, Brazil, Argentina and China have the largest number of fans. Brazil is the host, Argentina is next door, and China has traveled thousands of miles to come to Brazil."
"For the Chinese team, this game is not a life and death battle. After scoring three points in the first game, the Chinese team can actually play more relaxedly. The initiative is in our hands. The Greek team must find a way to attack and score goals. So the Chinese team can completely wait for the Greek team to make mistakes. Dong Fangzhuo has already scored two goals in this tournament, and he is likely to continue to score in this game."
"In the national team games where Dong Fangzhuo scored, the Chinese team only lost twice, one against France in 2006 and one against the Netherlands in 2010. Therefore, we have reason to believe that we will continue to advance vigorously! Come on! ,Chinese team!"
※※※※
In the middle arc, Zheng Zhi called his teammates together to surround the city and encouraged them:
"What can be solved today should not be left until tomorrow."
"Take Greece!"
“The myth here only belongs to China!”
The same is true for the Greek side. Standing on the court, they look much taller than the Chinese players.
…
Beep——
The second round of the 2014 World Cup Group C has officially begun!
The Greek team took the lead in kicking off, and immediately hit it high, and the ball was quickly passed from the right! The two tall Greek midfielders ran very fast, and in an instant they rushed into the Chinese team's penalty area with forward Mitroglu. However, the Chinese team responded very quickly and was not stunned by their lightning raid. Captain Zheng Zhi made a steady header to clear the ball at the first opportunity.
Dong Fangzhuo appeared in this key position and got the ball. He passed the ball directly to Feng Renliang on the left with his left foot, and the Chinese team began to form its first offensive.
The speed of the two was very fast, and they cooperated in a two-on-two collision with the wall. As if they were in no one's land, three Greek players came over immediately to try to stop them, but they couldn't even touch them.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Seeing Feng Renliang and Dong Fangzhuo rushing towards each other's half, the Chinese fans at the scene immediately became excited. When Feng Renliang dribbled the ball near the penalty area line, he immediately handed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo. Facing the two people in front of him to block it, Dong Fangzhuo still did not choose to stop the ball, nor did he give the opponent a chance to prepare or think. He directly passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo with his left foot. Wu Sanshi.
Wu Sanshi suddenly stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and shot the ball with almost no pause.
boom--
The ball hit the side netting.
"Holy shit!"
"Wu Sanshi."
"This ball..."
"You should learn more about shooting from Dong Fangzhuo."
"This kind of shooting is far from that of a world-class striker. It is just enough for him to be rampant in Asia."
Wu Sanshi covered his face, so embarrassed that he wanted to find a place to hide in. This opportunity was indeed very good, but he did not seize it. This is also his biggest weakness. He is used to wasting opportunities, but he is also very good at creating opportunities and seizing them...
Then the Greek team immediately launched a counterattack, still playing high and high, which made the Chinese team very uncomfortable to defend. Although Zhu Ting was not inferior in speed on the left, he just played high and the number one star on the wing was Samaras. With a little header, the ball went directly to the middle. Mitroglu leaned on Feng Xiaoting and volleyed from a small angle to the near corner, but the shot was not powerful enough and Zeng Cheng was firmly under him.
Both sides each completed a shot.
Zheng Zhi then took the ball and continued to play exquisite short passes with his teammates in the backcourt. The Greek team actually did not touch the ball for three minutes.
"Awesome, when did the Chinese team's ball control become so strong?"
"You don't know if you look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. Zheng Zhi is very stable in the backcourt."
"At least in the midfield and backcourt we are not afraid of Greece at all."
"If Dewey was on the court, he probably wouldn't be holding the ball so much."
The Greek fans were also stunned and felt that the Chinese team in front of them was really strong!
"The situation is not optimistic..."
"Why do you feel like you are being led by the Chinese team?"
In the first fifteen minutes, although the Chinese team did not score a goal, they showed off their ball control.
Even the Colombian coach, who was watching the game in front of the TV, frowned.
"Is this the fucking Argentina team?"
