In view of the high tacit understanding between the midfielder + central defender combination of Wang Ai and Feng Xiaoting, who seemed to have suddenly matured in the last game, after everyone arrived in Sao Paulo and went to the training ground the next day, Lao Gao told them to practice more!
Everyone understood that in the next game against the Netherlands, Wang Ai will still play as a defensive midfielder! No one has any idea about this. Anyway, it is for the good of the team and everyone. Since the boss has played behind him in the past few games, it has worked well.
Moreover, it was obvious that the boss had sacrificed his personal performance, so the brothers could only admire him in their hearts.
Everyone in the Dutch team is familiar with it. They played a warm-up match with the Dutch team in the World Cup four years ago. The overall Tulip Legion has not changed much, and the main players are still the same. Combined with Lao Gao and their video analysis of many World Cup games and previous warm-up matches
, the strategy and tactics of this battle were also decided.
Considering that the Dutch team is tall in the backcourt and has good defense against high-altitude balls, Lao Gao unexpectedly sent out two small forwards, Qu Bo and Mao Jianqing. This is also a striker combination that has never appeared in the national team in an official game. I hope
Able to use their running ability to tear open the defense.
The midfield and backfield have not changed much. The later the World Cup, the more difficult the competition is. The higher the tacit understanding of the lineup is required, the chance of several newcomers to play is slimmer. Therefore, the midfielder is still played by the four captains, and only Guo Liang takes over at the back.
Zhang Yonghai, who was too exhausted in the last game, comes out to fight.
Considering that the Dutch team does not have a unique figure like Messi, Gao Gao's clear request for Wang Ai in this game is to first stabilize the midfield and backcourt with his teammates, kill the opponent's spirit, and then provide appropriate assists.
With the average height of the Dutch team, the Chinese team only has the chance to hit the ball high when Wang Ai steps forward, and such a small opportunity may cause unexpected effects. For example, Wang Ai has been playing ground balls before he steps forward, and when he comes, he suddenly gives the ball high
.
There are also speculations about Van Gaal's possible tactical coaching staff, but just like the Argentina team, their team does not have the role of Wang Ai, a strong man who steps forward to attack the city and retreats to defend the city. Therefore, the tactical adjustments the head coach can make are
Limited. In this kind of critical game, the head coach's tactical freedom is actually restricted by public opinion, so the starting player must be the strongest player in the team. So since the starting lineup can be predicted, the tactical space is very limited.
.
The one who dared to send two small forwards to play in such a critical event like Lao Gao was him. For this arrangement, Lao Gao had the rare opportunity to personally guide the two small forwards on how to play. This was gradually handed over to him.
After it was given to Old Tang, it was no longer seen much.
Time flies, and two days passed quickly in the intensive preparations. At four o'clock in the afternoon on July 9, the Chinese team's bus drove into the Sao Paulo Arena. Returning to its hometown, Chinese and overseas Chinese once again came to cheer in large numbers.
A large number of fans also came from the motherland thousands of miles away.
There are countless topics for the Chinese team in this World Cup, both on and off the field, and they continue to be discussed on various media platforms. Many movies, TV series, and concerts have been affected and have either been kept low-key or rescheduled. Everyone in the entertainment industry can only smile bitterly. When encountering the World Cup
Life is miserable. Not to mention the men's football team, even the women's football team is a godsend. The men's football team is even more of a mudslide. Anyone who blocks it is a mantis. Some celebrities have given up resistance and simply joined instead of serving the country on social platforms.
To applaud the team, you can post a photo with the main players of the national team, write a short story about what happened, or simply drop everything and run to grab a ticket.
But this has nothing to do with the national football team. After everyone entered the locker room, they quickly changed clothes and equipment, and then went out to warm up after a while. When they came back, Wang Ai glanced at the family area and was stunned. He found it in the middle of the crowd.
Xu Qinglian is hiding...
Wang Ai then continued to walk to the player tunnel pretending to be nothing, but couldn't help but take another look. Xu Qinglian was at the edge of the family area. Across the aisle were the accompanying doctors and nurses, and Huang Xin, who was covering her up.
And the smiling Tang Mudan.
Seeing him again, Xu Qinglian still didn't dare to fight with him. She knew that the man should be very angry at this time. But the family members didn't know it, and they actually waved at Wang Ai, and Wang Ai could only nod helplessly.
Smile.
Of course, the coach and teammates didn't know about Wang Ai's family affairs, so they didn't think anything was wrong. Wang Ai could only use the short time to adjust secretly, and at the same time pray that nothing would happen to his willful daughter-in-law. No matter what happens,
, he really can’t control it.
In fact, when Xu Qinglian traveled thousands of miles to come to Brazil, Wang Ai should have expected it. As she said: I have traveled ten thousand miles, and you still don’t let me come after a few hundred meters?
"Perhaps you love me too much and want your unborn child to witness it too much? And Huang Xin won't allow it if it really doesn't work, right?" Wang Ai could only think happily in this way.
At this time, He Wei and Sun Jihai, who were sitting in the commentary box watching the appearance information of both sides and waiting for the live broadcast, also noticed that Xu Qinglian, who was still feeling like "the stars are holding the moon" even though she was sitting on the edge of the family area, even noticed Wang Ai's small movements.
, I suddenly felt itchy and unbearable: Should I repay it or not?
At 4:50, both sides officially took the stage. Since the organizing committee added a pre-match anti-discrimination ceremony since the last game, the start time was slightly earlier.
Holding the hand of the little ball boy, Wang Ai, wearing a yellow armband, was the first to walk out of the tunnel like the Dutch team's Van Persie, and then separated on both sides of the referee team. The Dutch team wore their traditional orange jerseys, while the Chinese team wore white.
After leaving enough time for reporters from various countries to take pictures, the two teams stood opposite each other. The players held a banner saying "say no to racis" in their hands. When they were notified by the organizing committee before the last game, the coaching staff once thought about it.
It's not about causing trouble, this anti-discrimination is very applicable to the Chinese team.
The anti-discrimination in Europe is to help the few black players in the team, but the entire Chinese team has been discriminated against all year round, and even the super giant Wang Ai is not immune.
But in the end, it was overruled by Wei Di, who told everyone that there is no need to specifically create trouble, as that would be too confrontational and unnecessary. Your best way to fight against discrimination is to defeat them.
As a result, the two teams now looked motionless holding banners with sullen faces.
Fortunately, this kind of performance art lasted less than half a minute and ended. The stars of the two luxury teams stood behind the banners and expressed their sufficient attitudes. Then there was the routine group photo taking, the captain guessed, and finally the warm-up and
Gather the team and wait for kick-off.
The Chinese team is on the left side of the field from the perspective of the main stand, and the Dutch team is on the right side and has the right to serve.
At five o'clock in the evening, at four o'clock in the morning on July 10th, bj time, with a whistle, the battle between tulips and peonies began.
