In the Spanish team's locker room, the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

This was their battle of honor, but in the first half, they did not feel this way except Villa showed such determination.

Boske is certainly not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

However, he is not good at criticizing these players directly. After the failure of the first two games, he can already feel that his control over this team is not as good as four years ago.

If he scolds the national team players during the halftime break, Spain may dare to collapse on the court and show him the second half.

This team has won all the championships in the past three competitions, and there are so many honors for them that they are probably tired of it and are not rare. To put it bluntly, it is a team that has no pursuit.

So Boske can only coax them.

In the dull air, he praised the team's performance in the first half, attributed the score behind to bad luck.

That actually makes sense.

Villa's heel shot so exquisitely and suddenly, it was perfect, but Sun Pan was snatched out. Isn't this a bad luck?

Zhou Yi made a cross or shot, and accidentally passed it to Guo Nu, which actually made the Chinese team score. Isn't this a bad luck?

So when Boske said he was not lucky, these two moments appeared in the minds of Spanish players.

Many people think this statement is correct, and their luck is indeed not very good.

"But bad luck cannot always surround us, and no one will be in trouble forever. In the second half, as long as we still have expectations and confidence in victory, we can defeat them. You must know that in terms of overall strength, we are better than them. They rely entirely on that starting lineup, lacking enough bench thickness and changes..."

Boske began to constantly instill confidence in the players and let them persist in playing the game.

On the other side, Lippi praised the team's performance in the first half, and then warned the players not to be complacent and be complacent just because they took the lead with one goal. Spain's strength is still very strong. If you are not careful, you will still be bitten to death by their dying struggles. This is not the result that the Chinese team wants.

"...If you have the opportunity to score, you must firmly seize it and not be weak. If you want to fight, you must completely kill the enemy and not be injured by their counterattack." Lippi said.

He didn't say much about the specific tactics. Tactical terms, he has arranged it very well, mainly relying on the players' execution level on the court.

The tactical execution of these starters is still good, especially after Zhou Yi, his understanding of the head coach's tactical intentions is among the top three in the world football world today, which is no exaggeration.

With him, the head coach's job can be made much easier.

※※※

The fifteen-minute intermission soon passed. After enduring a long advertisement, the audience in front of the TV followed the host and guests from behind to review the exciting highlights of the first half. Everything was back to the Baishada Arena.

The Chinese team players had already walked out of the passage and came to the stadium. Zhou Yi was talking to his teammates about something, covering his mouth with one hand, which was a habit he had developed in the European arena.

I don’t know what he said, everyone was laughed at, and every Chinese player showed a relaxed expression on his face.

The Chinese team is now leading, so of course they can be happy and relaxed. This is a normal thing, but in the eyes of some people, it is a completely different meaning.

On the Internet, there was a man who posted on Weibo that the Chinese team players were not serious enough and that they were smiling in such an important battle of life and death. He also made up the old accounts and said that Zhou Yi and Guo Nu openly played in the first half, and they really did not respect their opponents enough. In this way, if the Chinese team finally lost the game, he would not be surprised at all.

Of course, this weird Weibo was soon captured by Chinese fans, who made great contributions and ridicule in their comments and forwardings.

"Blogger said, how much money did you put in to bet on the Chinese team losing?"

"The blogger is having a ill mind. Did the Chinese team fuck your wife or beat your child?"

"The national football team's expression is tense and says that they are under too much pressure and their psychological quality is not good. The national football team smiles and says that they are smiling and disrespectful to their opponents. Why don't you go to heaven if you are so capable?"

"You can't do anything, you can't learn anything, you can just spray it with two skins on top and bottom!"

"The blogger is actually a financial author. Please write your financial articles. If you have such high-end football, don't be able to climb up..."

...

However, some people were curious about what Zhou Yi said to his teammates, which made everyone so happy.

Well, it's actually very simple. Zhou Yi just hacked Guo Nu again.

"Old Guo, I just looked at it. The hair in the area above your head is obviously softer and thinner than in other places. You have to be careful..." He said to Guo Nu earnestly.

When Lao Guo heard this, he was shocked and knew that Zhou Yi was going to criticize him again, so he quickly criticized himself in advance: "What are you afraid of? At worst, you can become the second Qi Zu! Just bald!"

Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that you need to reduce the number of headers in the future, otherwise your hairline will get higher and higher, and you will directly grind the front and bald? Just like the ancient Japanese samurai head, it's better than the slanted top!"

"Your sister..." Guo Nu didn't expect that Zhou Yi would even slam him.

The teammates next to them all burst into laughter.

Zhou Yi and everyone were almost laughing, so they raised their hands to signal everyone to calm down.

Everyone knew that he had something to say, so they stopped laughing, but looked at him seriously.

"There are still 45 minutes left, and it is absolutely unsafe to lead one ball, so if possible, we should try to score as many goals as possible and kill the suspense of the game as soon as possible. So after the second half, we should try to speed up the pace of the football game, press them as much as possible, and fight back when grabbing the ball. If you don't know how to play or don't know how to play, pass the football to me. No matter where you are, I will definitely guarantee that you are by your side..."

Everyone nodded repeatedly and accepted Zhou Yi's plan.

"This is definitely not our last game in this World Cup," Zhou Yi said at the end. "We can definitely go further!"

"Yes! Go further!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Then Zhou Yi reached out his hand, and the other players covered his hands one after another, and then they shouted in unison: "One, two, three, come on the Chinese team!!!"

Then, they each returned to their positions and prepared to start the second half of the game.

※※※

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and no one made any personnel adjustments.

Spain seems to have not come back from the pace of the intermission, but the Chinese team is very active.

The Chinese team kicked off in the second half, which is good news for Zhou Yi.

After he controlled the football under his feet, he did not pass it back or transfer it horizontally. Instead, he directly passed it with a long diagonal pass and sent the football to the left side and passed it to Yan Min who was pulling it to the left side.

This long pass is very fast and very accurate.

Yan Min easily stopped the football with his chest.

Then he led the football forward and launched an attack.

When Spain's defensive focus shifted to his side, he also encountered strong defensive resistance. If he wanted to move forward, it was not impossible, but the success rate was low and the risk was high.

In the past, he might take this risk and fight for a path of blood.

But now he doesn't have to do this at all, Zhou Yi is on the court!

When he dribbled the ball and rushed forward, he accelerated and rushed over after passing the ball.

Now when he encountered resistance, Zhou Yi just ran to a place not far from him.

So Yan Min stopped the football and passed it to Zhou Yi.

Facing the ball from Yan Min, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but directly rubbed the football forward with the outer instep of his right foot.

The football flew up, drew an arc in the air, bypassed Spain's back line, and appeared in the right-leaf space in the penalty area.

"Good ball! Zhou Yi's wonderful pass!"

Wu Lei appeared in that space. Instead of stopping the ball, he chose to volley directly!

Of course, the ball was hit high by him...

"Wu Lei! He played high! But it doesn't matter. This idea is correct, the running position is also good, and the last kick is also good. If you stop and shoot, you may be posted by the Spanish defender and lose the chance to shoot... The important thing is to do this and show the momentum of the Chinese team!" Liu Jianhong kept praising the Chinese team players and encouraged them.

Wu Lei himself felt very sorry that he was unable to seize this difficult opportunity. He hugged his head with both hands, then squatted down and slapped the grass in the Spanish penalty area.

When a player is upset and regretful that he is not sure about seizing such a difficult opportunity, it actually shows that his self-confidence has increased.
Chapter completed!
