Chapter 15 Stop kidding!
Chapter 105: Stop kidding!
"Today, Argentina's starting lineup is very interesting. Peckerman actually sent as many as six players who can play defenders in one go, plus Cambiaso, a full-time midfielder. Now, goalkeeper Lux is included on the court, there are as many as 7 players responsible for defense!"
"The meaning of this is very obvious. Argentina's main strategic direction today is to focus on defense and use the advantage of the number of defense to limit Sweden's strong offensive. Not anyone has done it before to strengthen defense against Sweden, but it is not as great as Argentina did. After using so many defenders, I just don't know what the effect of doing this is?"
Seeing that Argentina used so many defenders to play, Wong was also surprised. He had never seen such a stunning one before. Even the so-called 10-0-0 formation could not use so many defenders.
However, even such a choice is not bad to outsiders. In this day when everyone is studying how to deal with Sweden, any new method is normal. It is the bravest attempt this team has made, an innovation, and it will also give people a hint.
Li Yun won the side guessing with Thorin and got the kick-off. When shook hands with this player who had a gang with him, Li Yun also clearly heard the words from Thorin - Boy, you are dead today!
"Tsk, who have I ever been afraid of? What can you do to me, a little Thorin? It's so crazy!"
Li Yun did not take Solin's words seriously at all, because he had no fear at all. He has always been abusing others. When is it the turn of others to act as a hero on him?
However, Li Yun did not respond to Solin's words, but just smiled faintly, with infinite contempt in his smile.
"Beep—"
With the referee's whistle, the semi-finals between Sweden and Argentina finally kicked off. The first one to kick off was Sweden, and the ones in charge were Li Yun and Ibrahimovic.
"Their formation and players who appear today are very strange. Be careful, Stephen!"
Pushing the ball to Li Yun gently, Ibrahimovic said lightly.
"It doesn't matter! The soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil covers the earth!"
After Li Yun received the ball, he scored the ball to the side and gave it to Yongbery, and then ran forward by himself, hoping to use this usual style of play to start the game and attack Argentina.
"Your offensive method was as expected!"
Solin, who was the captain of the field in this game, saw Li Yun's actions, smiled indifferently, then waved his hand gently, and trotted forward himself.
“This…this is…”
And immediately, everyone present saw a scene that shocked them - as many as 6 Argentina players surrounded Li Yun, who had not yet received the ball!
"Damn! This is really too fucking... too that one, right?"
This is the first time Li Yun has encountered such a situation. He did not expect that Argentina had sent so many defenders, and the purpose was to target him completely!
Demichelis, Cambiaso, Solin, Placente, Benardi, and Riquelme, appeared together in front and behind Li Yun, and the other three central defenders were waiting not far from Li Yun at this time. The purpose was to limit Li Yun and prevent the most threatening player from having the opportunity to perform.
"If you restrict me like this and don't let me get the ball, then you can't defend the rest of us!"
Li Yun's thoughts at this time were the same as most of the people present. He felt that Argentina had invested so much to defend him, and he would inevitably spare the rest of Sweden. In this way, although he had no chance to score, others would have sufficient opportunities.
However, Li Yun's thoughts were a little simple at this time, and he did not think deeply. He forgot that these Swedish players are now used to playing games under his leadership. If Li Yun is gone in the offense, can the Swedish players find the right direction?
It is true that a large number of Sweden's goals did not come from Li Yun, and they did not even have Li Yun's assists, but you should know that even in that case, Li Yun was within the sight of Swedish players and could catch the ball at any time. Once Li Yun was in a situation where he could not get the ball, the rest of the players would probably not be so comfortable in their hearts.
Just like Yongbery, he was used to dribbling and breaking through, observing Li Yun's position and making decisions. This time, Li Yun no longer had the chance to receive his ball, which made him lose his goal and didn't know what he should do.
"Pass! Fred! What are you doing?"
Ibrahimovic, who had already rushed into the penalty area, saw that Yongbery had broken through to the bottom line, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but shout.
"Yes, what am I doing?"
Only then did Yengbery walk out of her confusion, then send the ball to the middle and pass it to Ibrahimovic who has already landed.
However, after such delay, Lyonberg had lost the best pass opportunity, which allowed the Argentine to be fully prepared. Samoel had already arrived at Ibrahimovic at this time and topped the ball first, making Ibrahimovic unable to threaten Argentina's goal.
The ball that was pushed out also fell at Solin's feet. Of course, Solin cleared the ball without saying a word and passed it to Figueroa in the frontcourt.
However, Sweden's defense is also very focused. Lindrot stopped the ball before Figueroa, but did not give him a chance to the phone.
However, the problem arose again. Lindrot's first choice was to pass the ball to Li Yun, but at this time, Li Yun was completely surrounded, and it was impossible for Lindrot to send the ball to Li Yun's feet.
Lindrot also made the mistake that Yongbery had just made just now. He didn't know what he should do. When the ball could not be delivered to Li Yun's feet, he completely lost his direction and goal and could not find his own way.
Hesitation in this position is a taboo, because the opponent's players will not give you so much time to think. They will take advantage of this time to rush forward to grab your ball. The Argentine players will naturally not be polite. Riquelme and Benardi in the front, and Figueroa behind Lindrote, came together.
"It's dangerous! Tobias!"
Seeing that Lindrot was surrounded, the Swedish players hurriedly gave a reminder, but this warning was obviously a bit too late.
Lindrot saw the two Riquelmes in front, but forgot about Figueroa behind him. When he was dodging to avoid the two people in front, he was stabbed by Figueroa behind him.
"Strike back!"
The ball just fell to Riquelme's feet. For Argentina's midfield core, such an opportunity cannot be missed.
Although Riquelme's speed is very slow, pay attention to it, it is very slow! It is so slow that it is unbearable, but his ball control skills are really good, and he can be called a master-level figure in the world today. In front of such a person, Lindro's special defense seems very pale.
With a realistic fake move, Riquelme went by Lindrot very easily, and immediately passed the ball to Benardi, allowing his teammates to quickly drive the ball.
Rikelme himself was running forward at the fastest speed to pick up his teammates. But to be honest, even if this guy tried his best to run, he wouldn't be able to run very fast.
Li Yun realized that something was wrong at this time, so he hurriedly chased him. Although the opponent's *** had a limiting effect on his offense, it was impossible for him to even take care of his defense, so Li Yun could still devote himself to the defense smoothly.
Benardi's advance was very fast. In a short while, he arrived in front of Edman behind the Swedish seat. Facing Edman's defense, Benardi did not choose to attack, but passed the ball gently to Figueroa.
At this time, Figueroa was standing near the corner of the penalty area, with Jacobson guarding him in front of him. Figueroa also knew that it was not a good idea to break through hard, so he knocked the ball back and gently.
Rikelme barely hit the ball at this time. Although his speed was slow, he could still get this opportunity in time. Li Yun was still a short distance away from Rikelme at this time, and this very small distance made Li Yun unable to stop Rikelme from making a move.
Riquelme's long-range shot was also very skilled. In such a position, although he felt a little far away from the goal, he was still very confident that he could send the ball into the Swedish goal. Without any hesitation, he immediately took the shot and then shot it out.
If Isaxon is standing in front of Sweden's goal today, Sweden still has great hope to block the ball this time, because with its height advantage, what Isaxon is best at is blocking a long shot. Although Rikelme's shot this time is strong and has a sharp angle, it is difficult for Isaxon to catch the gun.
But Heardman is different. The old goalkeeper's condition has declined a lot. In addition, he has not been in a big game for a long time, so he will definitely not be able to find a feeling immediately after getting up. When facing his opponent's long shot, there is a problem.
Heardman was half a beat slower in his reaction, and Riquelme's angle was very good, which made Heardman not have enough time to stretch his body and save it, so he let the ball slip away from his fingers and flew into the net through the goal line.
"Rickelme's long shot! The ball went in! Just one minute of the game, Argentina broke through Sweden's goal! And this was when Sweden took the lead, which was really incredible!"
"In the past, Sweden used goals to start the game at such a time, but this time he didn't expect that Argentina was the first to score! It was obvious just now that many Swedish players had a brief hesitation, which caused them not only not to score the ball, but instead gave their opponents the opportunity. It was really strange!"
"Argentina led 1:0. This result was probably something that no one expected. Sweden once again conceded the goal after the last game."
Seeing that Argentina could actually knock on Sweden's goal one minute at the beginning, Wong Tai Sin felt very incredible, because this time it was Sweden who kicked the ball first. In the past, once Sweden kicked the ball first, it would usually be able to break through the opponent's goal very quickly, but this time, the situation was lost. The Argentine actually took the lead and scored the goal first.
“This…this…this…”
The Swedish fans were confused at this time. They didn't see clearly what was going on. The team was beaten by their opponents. However, Sweden often used the quick counterattack after steals on others. This was a very incredible and difficult to understand, but it happened.
The Swedish players didn't know what to say at this time, especially Lindrot, who made a mistake. He was really at a loss at that moment because he didn't know what he should do, so he paniced when facing the opponent's steal, which made the opponent succeed.
However, Swedish head coach Ragbek still looked calm. He did not make any statement, but just said something to the assistant coach beside him, and then immediately turned his attention back to the court, still not giving any instructions to the players.
"This move is really poisonous!"
Li Yun understood the purpose of Argentina's playing style at this time. Sweden has long been dependent on him. Once there is a problem here and the ball cannot be delivered to him, the players will hesitate and don't know what to do. Then they will present various problems on the scene, leaving Argentina with opportunities.
This situation cannot be adjusted in a short while, because this concept is already deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated. Even if Argentina sends a large number of players to surround it and gives the rest of Swedish players a chance, it is difficult for Swedish players to create reasonable opportunities to score.
"This old guy is still a little capable, but..."
Looking at Peckelman on the sidelines, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little impressed. However, since he already knew the opponent's tactical intentions, he certainly would not allow his opponent to continue to use this method to gain benefits from Sweden.
"Although I have to praise you, you can think of such a bold way, I still have to say that it is too pediatric to use such a human-season tactic to intercept me, and it's just a joke! If I'm so easy to deal with, there wouldn't be anyone who can deal with us like today!"
Of course, Li Yun was not afraid of his opponent's method, and he also had a way to deal with it. He was confident that he would immediately prevent the Argentinians from using this tactic to limit themselves effectively, thus allowing Sweden to take the initiative on the field again.
"Everyone, be careful! Get up! Sweden is going to fight back!"
On the other hand, Argentina scored a goal, which confirmed that the head coach's adventure style was effective. The players were also very excited and their morale exceeded Sweden in much greater importance. At this time, they also stood their own position and waited for Sweden to attack.
"I don't know how much impact this goal concede has on Sweden. If the Swedish players will not play because of this goal, the problem will be serious. Because at that moment, it was obvious that the Swedish players had some problems, but they didn't know whether these problems would continue - of course, I hope this would not be the case."
"Oh? What's going on? We see that Stephen is not in the middle circle now. In the past, he and Ibrahimovic were responsible for serving, but this time, he retreated to the end!"
"It really makes people wonder what's going on. Stephen actually took the initiative to retreat to the last side of the entire Sweden team. What exactly is he going to do?"
This time, when the kickoff was kicking, Li Yun did not stand in the middle of the center circle and kicked the ball with Ibrahimovic, but went directly to the vicinity of his central defender and stood there. This made everyone, including Wong Tai Sin, feel puzzled.
"Does this kid want to use this method to get the ball? However, this move still cannot overcome our defense!"
Peckelman was shocked in reality, but he immediately returned to normal because he was confident in his defensive style. He felt that even if Li Yun got the ball at that position, it would be of no use.
"I know you will definitely think that it's useless to get the ball in this place, but you seem to have forgotten a lot of things!"
Although he didn't see Peckelman's expression, Li Yun easily guessed that the opponent's thoughts at this time. Argentine players would definitely have the same idea as their head coach, believing that Li Yun's goal in such a far backcourt would not be of much use. Even if he could not stop him from getting the ball at this time, there was nothing to worry about.
In the consciousness of Argentine players, as long as Li Yun dribbles through the ball at this time, they will use the same moves as before to surround Li Yun. Even if Li Yun has great ability, he cannot pass their interception. At worst, he can just make a foul and then limit Li Yun's chances of getting the ball. Therefore, they are not afraid.
But Li Yun has not used his move for too long. Although in the Champions League final not long ago, he used that amazing thunder beast at the forefront of his penalty area. The reactionary kick was the premise that the opponent's player shot and then reflected back by Li Yun. This way of thinking made the Argentine forget that Li Yun also had a super shot that could shoot directly in the backcourt.
"Stephen!"
After receiving the ball from Larson, Ibrahimovic immediately passed it back to Li Yun's feet.
"Fuck me to die!"
At this time, Li Yun suddenly took the position and came to the vicinity of the center circle, and then drove the ball forward. After the ball approached the center line, he rushed out the ball with all his strength before the opponent came to intercept it!
