Chapter 12 The Growing Chinese Team(1/2)
"Incredible! The Chinese team actually equalized the score with the No. 15 player. Brazil's defense was so careless!" The Brazilian commentator tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, but anyone could hear the anger in his tone.
In fact, if he didn't have to maintain professional ethics, he wanted to take Lucio to the corner and slap him seventeen or eight times, and then asked him fiercely: As the best defender in Brazil, how can you be beaten by China?
An unknown boy swayed away?!!
Also having this idea was Scolari on the coaching bench. Big Phil's face was gloomy and about to drip with water, but he had no time to vent his anger. He had to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
Method.
He originally planned to replace Juninho with midfielder Ricardinho to strengthen defense, and replace Ronaldo with Edilson to give the fat man a rest. After all, in his opinion, this game was completely
Under control. But now he must overthrow this idea.
There are now threatening offensive players in the team. Ronaldinho has been replaced by Denilson shortly after the start of the second half. Rivaldo is the real offensive core of the Brazilian team. He can not only launch long-pass counterattacks in the backcourt, but also can
He can send a fatal pass in the frontcourt, and he can also end the game by himself. He is also a master of long-range shooting, which is obviously immovable.
As for the fat man? Scolari turned to look at the only two forwards on the bench, Luisan and Edilson, and shook his head:
Even if the fat man can't run away, he is still a greater threat than the two of them.
Thinking of this, Scolari suddenly discovered that the majestic Brazilian team, four-time World Cup champions, and the Brazilian team that had reached the finals of the first two consecutive cup competitions, could not find a bench killer who could change the situation on the court!
For the first time, the stubborn Big Phil felt regretful: Even if one of Romario, Elber, and Jardel was around, it wouldn't have reached this point!
The irritable Scolari waved his hand, as if he wanted to dispel the unhappiness in his heart.
Since there are no cards in hand to play, the only choice is to find a solution from the existing cards.
Taking advantage of the opponent's celebration, Scolari called captain Cafu to the sidelines and whispered a few words. Then he returned to his seat and watched the situation on the court with a livid face.
In contrast to the silent coaching bench of the Brazilian team, the coaching bench of the Chinese team was full of joy. Chen Xiangfu, Jin Zhiyang, and Chi Shangbin had all left their seats. After all, facing the Chinese in the 72-year World Cup history
The first goal scored, there’s no way to celebrate it too much!
As the head coach, Milu was already happy at this time, but unlike other members of the coaching staff who were still cheering enthusiastically, he had already begun to think about the next plan.
Shao Jiayi replaced Qi Hong. This has been notified to the referee team and is being implemented. It is obviously impossible to change. Besides, Qi Hong's condition is indeed not good in this game. Regardless of whether there is a goal or not, he is ready to replace
Xia Qihong’s.
Then there is only one substitution left in Milu's hands.
If it were a result-oriented coach like Mourinho, Capello, Cooper or Rehhagel, they would probably not worry at this time and go directly to the back to strengthen defense and hold on to the point. After all, they would not care about the result.
I will care about the scene.
But not Milu.
In this era, the tolerance for utilitarian football is still very low. George Graham, as the meritorious head coach of Arsenal, has always been criticized by the media and fans because of his "ugly 1-0 doctrine"; Capello helped Real Madrid in 1997
Won the long-lost league championship, but ended up being dismissed during the championship season.
It can be said that before Mourinho broke into the mainstream European leagues with a tough and heroic attitude, utilitarian football had never been able to compete with offensive football in terms of reputation and number of fans.
And Milu himself was born in the place where offensive football or artistic football is most popular in Europe - the small town of Basta in the former Yugoslavia.
The Yugoslav team, which has the strong physique of Europeans and the delicate footwork skills of South Americans, has long won the reputation of the Brazilian team in Europe.
Although the Balkans have always been at war, making its people yearn for stability and solidity, on the green field, Milu is still a loyal believer in offensive football, even if the teams he leads such as Costa Rica, the United States, and Nigeria are not
A top-notch team, but it has never defended against a top-tier team.
Therefore, he never considered removing the offensive players and replacing them with defenders. What he considered was whether to remove the aging Tianxi and replace him with a faster forward to attack the Brazilian defense?
Wait a moment, he turned his head and glanced at the gloomy colleague next door:
Since you still have two cards in your hand, how can I reveal my trump card easily?
※※※※※※
After the Chinese team's two-minute crazy celebration, the referee Frisk finally intervened and the game quickly restarted. Levi, who had just recovered from the excitement, also returned to his defensive area.
p>
Perhaps it was the loneliness after the carnival, just like every young man’s moment of sage, but at this time, Levi actually had a hint of intention to leave:
In the first 66 minutes of the game, his performance was perfect. I believe he has exceeded the system's tasks, so why not just leave the game and avoid facing the indiscriminate bombardment from the Brazilians that is completely predictable.
Although it is impossible for Milu to take the initiative to replace Levi, who performed perfectly in both offense and defense in this game, he can pretend to be exhausted or even injured.
However, he quickly rejected this shameful idea, not to mention the impact that a fake injury would have on the future of Zhao Junzhe's career if exposed - he, Levi, is not the kind of person who says, "Even if there is a flood after I leave,
"Character, let's just say that Li Wei himself is not a person who is used to giving up halfway.
Besides, what if the Chinese team still loses after he comes off the field, and the system puts this account on his head?
Not to mention, considering the level of humanization of this broken system, which is not as smart as a smartphone, Li Wei feels that this is really possible.
Having made up his mind, Levi returned to the game.
"Bang!"
Du Wei couldn't remember how many times he had headed the ball in the penalty area to clear the ball, and he couldn't remember how many corner kicks this was for the Brazilian. He only knew that in the five minutes after the goal, he still
With his teammates, they all had a miserable life.
In these 5 minutes, the Brazilians launched an all-round and indiscriminate bombing of the Chinese team's penalty area. Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Denilson took turns attacking the Chinese team's defense. Among them, the person responsible for the greatest pressure was undoubtedly
Du Wei, who is keeping an eye on Ronaldo, and Xu Yunlong, who needs to deal with Carlos and Rivaldo's joint attack.
In fact, this is also the targeted strategy formulated by Scolari before the game.
Twenty-year-old Du Wei and 23-year-old Xu Yunlong are the two youngest members of the Chinese team's back line, and they have little competition experience. Especially, Du Wei was only selected for the national team for the first time a year ago.
Du Wei was born in the Shanghai Cable 02 Team. This team was formed by Xu Gengbao in 1995 with the goal of the 2002 World Cup. It mainly trained players of the 1981 and 1982 age groups. Du Wei, Sun Ji, Sun Xiang, etc. brothers have emerged successively.
Football star. In this sense, Du Wei can also be regarded as Li Wei's senior brother.
However, this team failed to persist. They only got the opportunity to participate in the Chinese Second League in 2000, but unfortunately they failed to qualify for the First Class. In 2001, they gave up their qualifications to participate in the Chinese Second League because they participated in the Ninth National Games. In 2002
It was absorbed by Shanghai Shenhua.
This means that Du Wei actually had no experience in the top domestic leagues before this. However, he performed well in last year's World Youth Championship and won the honor of Asia's Best Young Player in 2001. He is indeed of the same age.
The best among people.
But even so, among the four central defenders participating in the World Cup, Du Wei is still the one with the lowest ranking. In front of him are Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng and Zhang Enhua.
In contrast, Xu Yunlong, who is two years older, has more experience in the national team and league. He joined BJ Guoan in 1998 and has played here for life, for 19 years. He was selected in 2000
Chinese national team, but due to illness, he basically missed last year’s top ten games.
Therefore, he occupies the position of the main right back of the national team, which is actually somewhat controversial. In the first game, Milu placed Sun Jihai in the right midfielder position in order to release Sun Jihai's offensive ability. Only then did Xu Yunlong get the opportunity.<
/p>
Under normal circumstances, against a team like Brazil, for the sake of safety, Sun Jihai should still be used as the right back.
The progress of the World Cup group stage between South Korea and Japan can only be said to be a twist of fate. In the first game against Costa Rica, Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi were both injured (it is said that Fan was injured before the World Cup and concealed the injury for the sake of the World Cup). In addition,
It was said that Zhang Enhua had a disagreement with Milu, which gave Du Wei and Xu Yunlong a chance to prove themselves.
Compared to Du Wei and Xu Yunlong, who have no idea at all, Scolari is obviously more familiar with Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi, who were replaced by them.
Sun Jihai, who was already playing for Manchester City at this time, is generally regarded as the strongest player in the current national team, and his future achievements in studying abroad are indeed the number one among Chinese players since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After all, he can be selected as a celebrity in English football.
Don, ranked 19th in the selection of the best foreign players in Manchester City's history.
As the captain of China, Fan Zhiyi is obviously the person that Scolari focused on before the game. After all, the achievements of Asian Footballer and Captain of Crystal Palace are also rare among Chinese players. Therefore, after the two of them were absent due to injuries, their successors
With two young boys again, the right wing guarded by Xu Yunlong and the right rib of the penalty area guarded by Du Wei naturally became the focus of attack in Scolari's tactics.
Of course, it is very possible that before officially studying the Chinese team, Scolari had only heard of Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi, and perhaps, plus Yang Chen, who had briefly highlighted in Frankfurt?
But Du Wei didn't want to know what Scolari was thinking. He just wanted to know when the Brazilian's offensive in front of him would end?
Here we go again!
The fat man pedaled his bicycle in front of Du Wei again. Although he was exhausted, Du Wei still stared at the ball at Ronaldo's feet.
Although Ronaldo doesn't like running and rarely counter-attacks, the physical exertion at this time is not light, so that the frequency of cycling is gradually slowing down.
Is it because he was too tired that he had an illusion? Du Wei, who was paying full attention, noticed this, and he doubted whether he was dazzled. After waiting for a while to confirm that he had seen it correctly, Du Wei decided to take action!
But Ronaldo showed off his superior leg-swinging frequency at this time, and he actually came first and poked the ball out before Du Wei, and then he was about to pass Du Wei!
Du Wei, who is 187cm tall, has first-class speed and reaction among center backs. He just squeezed Ronaldo hard when he was about to pass by!
Ronnie, who was starting at a high speed, staggered a little after this, and the distance between the ball and the ball was a little larger. Xu Yunlong, who was on defense in place, made a flying shovel and destroyed the sideline.
Du Wei, who successfully defended the attack, fell to the ground and did not get up for a long time.
The waves of Brazilian offensive put pressure on the young man not only technically and physically, but also psychologically, which almost made him breathless.
Xu Yunlong, who was panting next to him, stretched out his hand and pulled up his teammate. The two looked at each other, with deep exhaustion in their eyes.
For these two young people, this game is too difficult!
But neither he nor Xu Yunlong realized that when facing the Brazilian's offensive, they were no longer as embarrassed as they were at the beginning. Even if they were so tired, they would not let the Brazilian frontcourt superstars break through easily.<
