Today Portugal has a strong 433 attack formation, with Simao, Almeida and Ronaldo forming a trident. In the midfield, Meireles, Pedro and Thiago line up. At the back, Bruno and Carvalho
Partnering as central defender, Korntrau and Miguel are on the left and right, and the goalkeeper is Eduardo.
After the pick-up, the game started, with Portugal taking the first kick.
It wasn't until this moment that people really believed that Li Yu was a substitute today. No matter how good he was, at least he had hope.
"We saw Li Yu again. Before he even played the game, he had already become a masked man. Was he too injured and had to wear it? Or did he want to get used to the feeling of wearing a mask in advance?" Huang Jianxiang did not go.
When commenting on the spot, he also watched Li Yu in the live broadcast footage at the moment the game signal came through.
"It's a substitute. It has been confirmed that Li Yu's name is on the substitute list of the China Hong Kong team. To be honest, with Li Yu's current situation, I prefer him not to play, which means that with the current lineup of the China Hong Kong team, we can
Against the Portuguese team, it would be a good thing if Li Yu
If we have to play, then it means that our situation is already in danger. It's very contradictory, this is football!" Su Dong calmly analyzed the possibility of Li Yu playing. I have to say that he was right, Li Yu will have to play if he plays.
Facing an unfavorable situation, this is something no one wants to see.[
What about Li Yu herself?
He longs to be on the field when the ball kicks off.
Rather than sitting on the bench and anxiously watching teammates fight on the field, it's better to be on the field.
Regardless of my nose, no matter what, today's game must at least be a draw, so that the China and Hong Kong team can still retain most of their hopes of promotion. If they lose, they will face Côte d'Ivoire in the final round of the group stage, and the two teams will be forced into a desperate situation.
It’s really hard to tell between the teams.
At this time, the Portuguese team has taken the initiative on the field. The most active person is Ronaldo. Some people say that he is independent. But on the field, with his personal ability that cannot be covered by eyes, what about being alone?
The players of the China Hong Kong team had some difficulty defending Ronaldo. Eriksson adopted a regional focus defensive strategy. Compared to Ronaldo, there is still a certain gap between the other players of the Portuguese team, especially the Portuguese striker Almeida. Compared with other players,
The Portuguese players are even more unknown.
In recent years, Portugal has been lacking a good striker. Two strong players on the wing, coupled with a decent center, this is Portugal's main offensive routine in today's game.
Simao and Ronaldo are on both sides, with Almeida in the middle grabbing points. Although it is said to be grabbing points, in fact, the role of containment may be greater. The two wingers can play well, and there is basically no need to worry about the center.
Just as the current internal situation of the Portuguese team has been exposed by the media, there is no cooperation between the two wingers, Ronaldo and Simao, who are also the captain and deputy captain on the field, and they are completely fighting alone in their respective positions.
The Portuguese team's attack was very powerful, but the actual effect was not satisfactory. In the first 10 minutes, except for Ronaldo's two threatening long-range shots, the Portuguese team had no good opportunities at all.
The opening scene gave hope to hundreds of millions of Chinese people, especially the fans in the stands. The shouts completely overwhelmed the Portuguese fans. It is strange to say that it was similar to the Brazilian fans in the first game, and the Portuguese fans were also relatively similar.
He is good at singing and dancing when cheering, but the difference is that in Brazil, most of the samba dancers are beauties in bikinis, while in Portugal, there are just everyone.
There are two completely different ways of cheering. The Chinese can celebrate in any way. They can also blow the vuvuzela for a while, and they can also sing for a while while slashing at the Japanese with a machete. "There are no guns or cannons. The enemy helped us make them."
The Chinese fans who are shown in the eyes of celebrities all over the world are also crazy. Although there is no unified organization and more of them are spontaneous, the diverse cheering situations are also dazzling.
The Chinese Hong Kong team defended very steadily. Eriksson did not use any more off-the-board tricks. It was not that he did not want to use them. The biggest trick had already been used by the Brazilian team. If he used it again, it would not have any effect. He failed to use it in the Brazilian team.
Scoring 3 points, or in other words defeating Brazil, the Swedish old man still has some regrets. He almost succeeded, but unfortunately Brazil's sudden outbreak reversed all the plots. Where is the strength?
Today's tactics are very simple. When they confused their opponents before, the China Hong Kong team also trained in this way. The iron barrel formation plus counterattacks, but without Li Yu, the counterattack effect will be greatly reduced. There is no way around it.
Be invincible first, and then plan for other things. The goal of the China Hong Kong team today is just one point, to maintain their qualifications for qualifying, instead of having to look at the faces of other teams in the final round.
The media gathered here from all over the world are very satisfied with the current situation of the competition.
"It looks like Portugal is having a tough time."
"If the China Hong Kong team wants to advance to the knockout stage, it must at least draw with the Portuguese team. This is very important... Of course, if Li Yu had played earlier, maybe the game could have been more intense. There are many one-sided situations in the world.
People are very worried..."[
"What I'm more looking forward to is how Li Yu will perform in this game. In fact, as long as he comes off the bench and can score goals, basically the China Hong Kong team will be able to achieve the established results..."
"The coaching staff of Brazil and Cote d'Ivoire must be paying attention to this game. I wonder if they want to see the wonderful performance of Ronaldo or Li Yu in this game? Or neither, after all, they will be their opponents soon!"
The reporters who entered the media box were talking a lot. It was obvious that the game after the opening, although exciting and with constant attacks, did not seem to be about to score goals immediately. The battle of the century between former teammates Ronaldo and Li Yu, this is
The game that many reporters from other countries want to see, the World Cup stage, the fateful showdown between the two best stars, this is the most critical selling point of this game.
At first, the reporters could concentrate on capturing the moments on the field, but now everyone has gradually become a little tired of the aesthetics, and this is where the subsequent discussions began.
Li Yu, the European Golden Boot, did not play, which greatly reduced the appeal of this game to neutral reporters and fans. Watching the wonderful performances of the stars is the greatest fun for neutral fans watching the game. Ronaldo's wild shots, many people
I'm tired of watching, but Li Yu, who can always perform some miracles, may still be worth the wait.
The cameraman seemed to feel a lot of expectations. From time to time, the camera turned to Li Yu. Looking at the frowning Li Yu in the camera, many people's attention was mostly focused on Li Yu's transparent mask and redness and swelling.
On the nose, they may have realized at this moment that it was not that Li Yu didn't want to play, but that he had a reason not to play. Injury. In the most critical World Cup, the player was injured, and it was still in the middle of the game. How frustrating.
I hope Li Yu can get better soon.
Neutral fans and reporters are still relatively rational. The Portuguese are also paying attention to Li Yu, but they are not thinking about watching a wonderful game, but are looking forward to it. Li Yu is injured and cannot play. Portugal can keep attacking like this.
Going forward, whatever is advantageous will come. Without Li Yu on the court, China Hong Kong's offense only has two players, Kongka and Muric, and there is not much threat.
The Portuguese's offensive was overwhelming, and the Portuguese fans in the stands also gave out loud shouts to cheer for the team.
Just looking at this appearance, it seems that the Portuguese are ahead. In fact, this is not the case. The Portuguese team is attacking so fiercely on the field because they want to take the lead and score a goal as soon as possible.
Queiroz stood on the sidelines with his hands folded across his chest and his face was livid. He wanted to yell a few words or even curse a few times on the sidelines like Ferguson, who he had assisted, but he was not qualified to do that yet, Ferguson?
There is only one Ferguson in the world. Even Queiroz, who has been with the old man for many years, cannot learn the old man's style and skills. He does not yet have the qualifications and aura to completely suppress all the current Portuguese players, and there is no need to talk about brazen roars.
.
This game was played too backward. In the first ten minutes, the offense was good, but no goal was scored. And the reason? It is precisely because the Portuguese team brought some things off the field into the field, and the players went their own way and attacked.
There was no corresponding cooperation and cover, and everything was exposed to the defense of the China Hong Kong team players. It was normal for the thunder to be heavy and the rain to be light.
When he saw Muric almost kicking the football into Eduardo's goal, he finally couldn't help but yelled a few times.
The Portuguese team attacked desperately for nearly 20 minutes, but it was not as efficient as the China Hong Kong team's sneak attack. In just one attack, they almost broke through the Portuguese team's goal. If Bruno hadn't lost his position before Muric shot, Muric would have been beaten.
There was constant interference, and the ball was not sure to go in.
It’s not that the China Hong Kong team doesn’t know how to attack, but once it attacks, it will kill the Portuguese team. Eriksson, an old Swedish man with white hair and a shaved forehead, is really not easy to deal with. He has never seen the China Hong Kong team before.
From the top ten games to the warm-up matches before the World Cup, there was no such tactic at all
, in those past game videos, the China Hong Kong team played completely offensive football in the Asian level competition. How about the South Korean team, they still attacked directly and crushed them. This was the top four team in the World Cup.
Warm-up match, poor iron barrel formation, loopholes in the defense.
But look at it now? Who can believe that the China-Hong Kong team on the field is the same team as in the warm-up match before? They are defensively calm and not impatient. The more they defend, the more confident they seem to be. Could it be that the Brazilians tempered themselves in the last game?
The result?
As for defensive counterattack, this is actually not a clever strategy, anyone can imagine it. Queiroz has to admit that he has fallen into a psychological misunderstanding, thinking that as long as the China Hong Kong team does not have Li Yu, it will not be able to face any team.
It will be a capable team, and Portugal won't have too many problems winning such a team.
The reason why such a psychological misunderstanding occurs is, to put it bluntly, because he is a bit blindly arrogant.
This is a very dangerous signal. The previous attention was all on Li Yu. Now the most threatening figure has not appeared. Instead, Portugal is in chaos. There are many problems in the team. In fact, the simplest and most direct way to solve everything is
, is to win a game, and to win happily, all problems will disappear, but he ignored the fighting power of the other 10 people except Li Yu.
Although he has always been careful not to let himself be too proud, such a good opportunity can change the atmosphere in the team, and this ecstatic mood still affects him unconsciously.
And it was so hidden that even he himself didn't know it.
Fortunately, he didn't lose the ball, which alerted him. He couldn't continue to be so arrogant. As a head coach, he was already arrogant, but where were the players?
It’s just that it seems a little late to think about this issue now. The game has started, and the players are still going their own way. If China and Hong Kong succeed in counterattacking, then it will be even more impossible for Portugal to go to the World Cup.[
It’s not too late to remedy the situation, but what should we do now…
Queiroz stood in the command area on the side of the court, his face ashen as he considered how the team would attack. Such an attack would only make the opponent more and more confident, but would pose less of an actual threat.
The more I think about it, the colder I feel.
It stands to reason that with the ability of the Portuguese team's players, there should be no problem in winning the current China Hong Kong team.
Players should also understand that in the World Cup, if they want to win the game, they have to go all out. How can we stop them from working alone?
How can we win?
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Queiroz told Simao about his adjustments, and Simao passed them on to the players.
"Slow down the attacking pace and don't rush to attack?" Ronaldo was surprised after hearing what Simao told him.
This is Queiroz's adjustment. What he wants is stability. The rhythm of the game is entirely under the control of the Portuguese team. Since the opponent can only follow Portugal's rhythm, boiling the frog in warm water may have a better effect.
You can gradually find a sense of coordination through each other's kicks, and once Portugal's offensive rhythm slows down, China Hong Kong's counterattack will not be much of a threat. If China Hong Kong counterattacks, it will deliberately lure the enemy deeper, and then come again.
A counterattack, Portugal can also beat the opponent's counterattack.
Just a little change can make a decisive difference.
Ronaldo couldn't restrain his thoughts of taking the ball and moving forward quickly. He wanted to become a hero, the hero who saved Portugal in the World Cup, a great young captain. Many thoughts prevented him from thinking calmly about the many benefits of the coach's change of tactics.
All he thinks about is attacking.
However, Simang, who was delivering the message next to him, was very experienced and could see through the head coach's intention at a glance. He came up to explain the joints.
Ronaldo couldn't listen at all at this time. Any changes, as long as he scores a goal, everything will change.
Looking at Ronaldo's expression, Simao opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. This is the root cause of the so-called internal strife in the Portuguese team. Ronaldo is too self-centered and has no problem with players who can put down their dignity and interact with him.
.
But facing an old player like Simao, Ronaldo is too self-centered and lacks some necessary respect. He always looks very cool. In fact, Ronaldo just has a personality and doesn't want to explain too much. His purpose is still to win.
Li Yu knows this, and friends who are familiar with Ronaldo also know this.
But he looks the same, and some of the old team members are patient enough to chat with you.
The current situation in Portugal is actually a lack of necessary internal communication and understanding.
There is no contradiction in principle at all.
Ronaldo began to dissociate from the entire Portuguese team's tactical system, and other players began to attack slowly and step by step. But once the ball reached Ronaldo, it was impossible to slow down the football, and he never looked back.
The last powerful and heavy long-range shot ended the Portuguese team's attack.
Queiroz really didn't know what to say. He couldn't even scold him. The captain of the Portuguese team was his direct descendant and was promoted by him. Scolding Ronaldo was no different from slapping himself in the face. At this moment, he
I really want to find Ferguson, who is chewing gum in his mouth, and yell at Ronaldo, maybe that will work.
But just when he was always conflicted, Ronaldo scored a goal. A wild shot also has the advantage of a wild shot, which is to create tension in front of the China Hong Kong team's penalty area. This time Ronaldo finally seized the opportunity.
The cause of the goal came from Ronaldo's own wild shot. His shot hit the back of the China Hong Kong defender. At this time, goalkeeper Fan Junye had already jumped out according to his own judgment.
The ball came back and landed at Ronaldo's feet, and he shot again. Goalkeeper Fan Junye just watched Ronaldo complete the next action. The goalkeeper could only watch the ball and sigh, and there was nothing he could do.
1:0, Ronaldo finally completed the goal. His second shot was also very powerful, causing a wave of netizens in the net. China Hong Kong team fell behind and the situation began to become unfavorable. Wanting to reverse the situation, China Hong Kong team
You can only attack!
But facing the Portuguese team, how can the Chinese Hong Kong team attack without Li Yu?
At this time, the camera lens was not showing Ronaldo celebrating passionately. Instead, it first showed Eriksen a picture. The camera immediately turned to show a picture of Li Yu. Everyone knows that the key figure on the field now, reversed the situation.
The person in the situation is actually Li Yu, who is sitting on the bench of the China Hong Kong team.
Li Yu looked very annoyed, and kept looking up at the big screen. The 1:0 score was really eye-catching, and he was angry when he saw it.
Standing up, Li Yu stood up from the bench. He was walking towards head coach Eriksson. Will he ask to play?
