1131 The name moves the world
After taking the lead in the score, Portugal adopted a relatively conservative approach, and their control over the game was completely unavailable for the Chinese team.
Even after the half-time adjustment, the Chinese team's performance in the second half became more positive and could not change the situation.
Weak teams naturally have an embarrassing situation of weak teams.
Portugal tasted the sweetness from defensive counterattacks two years ago, and will naturally continue to carry forward it.
Just as they fell at their doorstep 14 years ago, wasn’t it because of Greece’s defensive counterattack that they had been regretting for life?
As the Chinese team strengthened their offense, the threat of the Portuguese counterattack increased significantly, which allowed Situ Yunbing to see the progress of the Chinese team at the defensive level. Although there were dangers in front of the goal, the Portuguese team itself was not sure on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Chinese team's several rescues and goalkeeper Chen Jingjie's performance was excellent.
This is already very good.
Situ Yunbing took notes while watching the football. Although the result was basically powerless to change, he still saw the positive side of the Chinese team in this game.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team lost 0:1 to Portugal.
In another match, Spain also beat Morocco with a score of 1:0.
In this way, Spain and Portugal both ranked first and second in the group with 4 points.
Both the Chinese team and Morocco are ranked third and fourth in the group with only one point.
There are always Chinese journalists who want to interview Situ Yunbing and ask him to express his views on the performance of the Chinese team, but Situ Yunbing ignored it.
As far as strategy is concerned, Alonzo's performance in these two games is fine. In terms of tactical use, the Chinese team's card face also has great limitations. It cannot be as easy as the world's strong teams to keep both offense and defense freely.
Therefore, the performance of the Chinese team depends to a large extent on their on-the-spot performance.
Psychological quality and mental adjustment, this World Cup is a good experience for them.
When Situ Yunbing came to Zhuhai, the Chinese team also ushered in the last battle of the World Cup group stage.
There is only one way for the Chinese team to qualify. Without considering the situation of Morocco beating Portugal, the Chinese team can only advance if they defeat Spain and get at least two goals from Spain.
Because even if the Chinese team defeated Spain 1-0, Spain and Portugal scored goals in the first round of the group stage, the Chinese team will score the same points as Spain and finally eliminated.
Only by winning 2 goals or more of Spain can you pass the same points. If the goal difference is higher than the opponent, advance to the top 16 of the World Cup.
As for Morocco's defeat of Portugal, it will be left to fate.
After all, it is not easy for the Chinese team to defeat Spain, and it can even be said to be a bit whimsical.
Spain only needs one draw to advance to the World Cup round of 16.
Before this game on social media, Chinese fans were cheering for the Chinese team!
Perhaps due to the painful elimination experience of the 2002 World Cup, it is difficult for Chinese fans to have too much expectations for the Chinese team's performance. Everyone hopes to see the Chinese team play exciting games, and the requirements are not high.
Situ Yunbing is still watching the game with Han Yang and Feng Kuoyang in the hotel suite.
He took notes on the game seriously.
Spain treats this game very seriously, but the main reason why their average performance in the past two years is that they no longer have the iron triangle combination of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets.
The core foundation that allowed them to dominate the world in those years has disappeared.
But Spain will still play relatively proactively and try to pass and control and oppress opponents, but the threat of creating opportunities is relatively low.
Costa on the front line is actually somewhat inconsistent with the Spanish football style. Even if he plays at Atletico Madrid for many years, just think about Atletico Madrid's tactical style, it is completely opposite to the tactical style of the Spanish national team.
In addition to the two central defenders Pique and Ramos, the former is in an unstable state, while the latter is a little unstable in the past two years and has always actively participated in the offense, which makes Spain's defense very unstable.
The Chinese team actively defended after the start. After the Spanish soldiers were approaching, Bai Yuanfan struggled to defend Costa on the back line, but fortunately Costa did not seize an excellent opportunity to miss the ball!
In the 19th minute of the game, the Chinese team, who had been in a defensive state, finally completed an excellent defense in the backcourt and created a counterattack opportunity!
Zhao Fenghua received a pass from Zhang Linpeng in the frontcourt run. Then he passed the ball to Zhang Zhibang who quickly followed up when several Spanish players were about to encircle him.
Spain's defense is a bit contemptuous of the Chinese team because the first counterattack and siege was not successful. Logically speaking, they should quickly retreat and deploy defense. However, they did not retreat but instead advanced and pressed Zhang Zhibang. The latter quickly passed the ball diagonally across the side. After Zhang Chengdong received the ball in an empty space, he directly passed the ball diagonally across the top to hit the area behind the Spanish defense line!
Wu Lei quickly stepped forward and widened the distance from Pique. After the offside, all Chinese fans were excited.
The Wu Lei, who had been stopped and traveled, was already a one-on-one strike after entering the penalty area!
As soon as De Gea attacked Wu Lei, he kicked the ball and flew straight to the far corner of the goal!
De Gea failed to hit the football save, and then turned around and saw the football rushing into the far corner of the goal!
The Chinese fans in the stands cheered passionately, and an incredible expression appeared on their faces!
Wu Lei rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. He slapped the team logo on his jersey, causing fans all over China to go crazy!
Situ Yunbing also excitedly raised his glass in the hotel and clinked Han Yang and Feng Kuoyang to drink all the wine in the glass!
In the TV screen, Alonzo, who was wearing a suit and tie, was making two-handed push at Chinese players, so that they could keep calm and not be imbalanced because of the first goal.
The imbalance in mentality does not simply point to the negative direction, but may also lead to the specific performance of the game being out of control due to excessive excitement and radicalism.
Spain will inevitably launch a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's defense next.
The time has come to test the Chinese team's defense.
However, with the experience of playing Portugal in the last game, the Chinese team will perform more tenaciously.
And fans all over China must now expect the Chinese team to score another goal!
If the Chinese team wants to advance to the top 16 of the World Cup, they must win at least 2 goals against Spain!
The next scene became that the Chinese team retreated and tried every means to limit the Spanish team's scoring.
Situ Yunbing watched the game very attentively in the living room. Alonzo's defensive transformation of the Chinese team has been relatively successful in the past two and a half years. At least even if they cannot be considered top in Asia, they can still be called first-class.
The root of the problem is that they are facing world-class teams!
The Chinese team's defense is in danger, and Chinese fans have been worried. After losing a goal, the Spanish team attaches great importance to defense. The Chinese team's several counterattacks were strangled in their infancy.
It is impossible to admit that if Ramos and Pique attach great importance to defense and ensure effective joint defense plays a role, then the Chinese team's counterattack is indeed difficult to break through their defense line. After all, there is also a Busquets who escort the defense line.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Chinese fans were even more excited.
Although the Chinese team failed to score another goal, at least they held the first half!
The Chinese team led the Spanish team 1:0 in the scoreboard!
Countless fans on social media are reposting the picture of the score card. It seems that the Chinese team can lead Spain as a great deed worthy of glory!
It is because everyone knows that the Chinese team is too weak, for fear that such a lead will be a flash in the pan, and the final reward will be failure!
Shortly after the second half, Spain will attack more directly, and they will have to buy time to score goals, because they will definitely expect to win the top spot in the group!
In the 53rd minute of the game, the Chinese team finally failed to block Spain's crazy offensive.
Costa headed the ball after receiving Asensio's cross in the penalty area!
Bai Yuanfan smashed the turf with one punch after losing the ball!
He didn't go with Costa, but lost in the position!
He is at a disadvantage in confrontation and is weaker in experience than his opponent. This situation can be accepted calmly.
But it's because I want to win too much!
Alonzo clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the morale of the team, and Situ Yunbing did not feel very disappointed, because he went objectively and the game was almost an hour long, and the Chinese team had not yet fallen behind the Spanish team. Should he be disappointed?
After the Spanish team scored a goal, their morale was greatly boosted and they wanted to take advantage of the victory to complete the overtake.
The Chinese team performed calmly under the command of Alonzo and still patiently fought defensively.
Spain's offense became a little impatient, because they obviously wanted to defeat the Chinese team in regular time, and the remaining game time was getting less and less, which would change the mentality of Spanish players!
In the 70th minute of the game, the Chinese team intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Zhang Zhibang and Zhao Xuxu worked together to complete the interception against Silva. Silva became old. The 32-year-old veteran also experienced a flexibly decline after fighting on the court for 70 minutes and his physical fitness began to dry up.
The Chinese team's counterattack broke out again!
This time, Zhang Zhibang completed the goal to the right of the front court.
Alba assisted in the frontcourt and did not come back. Wu Lei successfully responded here. Then when Ramos came, he knocked the ball back to Hao Junmin, and then turned into the incision track.
Ramos was still a little arrogant and thought he could get up and block Hao Junmin's pass line, but he didn't expect Hao Junmin to change the direction and shake it out of the angle before sending out a straight pass.
Vurene cut the ball and went into the penalty area. Busquets and Pique rushed towards him. This time De Gea did not abandon the goal.
Just as Wu Lei dribbled into the right rib of the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball back diagonally.
The football happened to roll through the middle of Pique and Busquets.
When the two looked back, they saw Zhao Fenghua’s figure!
Zhao Fenghua kicked the ball very decisively and shot hard!
The football is hung directly on the upper left corner of the goal!
This Ligue 1 rookie last season broke the Spanish national de Gea's ten fingers!
Chapter completed!
