When Hu Lai changed his clothes and returned to the field, the fourth official on the sidelines also raised a substitution sign.
"The Chinese team is going to make another substitution! This time, No. 20 Xue Ming will be substituted! This substitution..." He Feng didn't understand at first.
Zhou Zijing's physical fitness has declined significantly. In fact, everyone could see it before scoring this goal.
So if the Chinese team wants to make substitutions, it should be Zhou Zijing.
As a result, now everyone sees that the person waiting on the sidelines is right winger and right midfielder Xue Ming...
Replace Zhou Zi Jing with Xue Ming?
Let Xue Ming play center?
He is not this material!
Could it be that Qin Lin doesn’t plan to replace Zhou Zijing? After all, Zhou Zijing assisted in the just goal, which shows that his tactical role on the field is still very important...
If Zhou Zijing is not replaced, should Luo Kai be replaced?
Of course, Luo Kai neither assisted nor scored in this game... but he performed normally, and it seems that his physical strength is not bad at the moment, at least better than Zhou Zijing. Why is it necessary to replace him?
Not only did He Feng not understand, but the Chinese fans in front of the TV and in the stands also didn't understand.
Fortunately, the fourth official soon held up a sign to clarify everyone's confusion:
"As expected, Zhou Zijing is to be replaced. Do you want to push Luo Kai to the center position?" A new question mark popped up in He Feng's mind.
But now he didn't bother to guess, but praised Zhou Zijing, who was about to be replaced:
"Zhou Zijing started this game, mainly as a tactical fulcrum, relying on his confrontation ability to help the Chinese team attack. He also completed the tasks assigned to him by the head coach very well. Although in the first half
He also wasted a good opportunity, but scoring is indeed not his position... His last assist for Hu Lai was a highlight. He gave full play to his advantages of height, body and header, and lived up to everyone's expectations for him.
expect!"
When a player is substituted, the commentator should summarize his performance in the game, whether it was good or bad.
There were times when Zhou Zijing performed poorly in this game, such as the opportunity Hu Lai created for him in the first half, which he failed to seize.
But he also had a highlight moment, and that was this assist. He used an assist to repay the "debt" owed to Hu Lai in the first half.
So even though many people complained about Zhou Zijing's missed opportunity during the halftime break, when he was about to be replaced, the Chinese team fans in the stands still gave him warm applause and cheers.
At the same time, the TV broadcast screen also showed Zhou Zijing’s key performance in this World Cup:
Six appearances, one goal and two assists.
Such a performance would be an absolute success for any national team. Such a performance is also worthy of the position of the main center of the Chinese national team.
In fact, when Zhou Zijing followed his teammates and ran back to his own half, he had already seen Xue Ming standing on the sidelines. At the same time, assistant coach Ding Gaoyi gestured to him, telling him that he was about to be replaced.
So he didn't go back to the center circle, but stood directly at the junction of the sideline and the center line and waited.
After the fourth official finished holding up the sign, he high-fived Xue Ming directly across the line. This was considered the handover of substitutions.
After he came off the field, he waved to the Chinese fans in the stands and applauded in thanks.
Qin Lin took the initiative to shake hands with him, patted his shoulder, and said to him: "You played well, please rest!"
After Zhou Zijing high-fived his teammates on the bench one by one, he sat in his seat and turned his eyes and attention to the field.
The game is not over yet, the Chinese team just equalized the score.
※※※
Before the substitutions were completed, assistant coach Ding Gaoyi had already taken the opportunity of the Chinese team players to celebrate and told the Chinese team players all the latest personnel position adjustments.
So there is no need for Xue Ming to go up and tell everyone.
He just needs to come directly to his position and stand up.
He stood in the midfield, Hu Lai was outside the center circle, and Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi both stood close to the center line.
Through the broadcast perspective, we can clearly see that the Chinese team’s position in their own half is 343.
"The Chinese team has changed its formation again! Xue Ming plays the right midfielder, Luo Kai plays the right winger... Chen Xingyi also plays the left winger position, and Xia Xiaoyu plays the left midfielder..."
He Feng saw the Chinese team's new formation through the players' positions on the field.
The TV audience and the fans at the scene can also see it - as long as they really understand the game and are not just watching the excitement, they can all see it.
Then this adjustment attracted everyone's discussion.
"Has the Chinese team played 343 before?" Xie Lan asked Hu Lixin.
Hu Lixin shook his head: "No. This should be Qin Lin's temporary adjustment."
"Is this to strengthen the offense?" Xie Lan asked again.
Hu Lixin nodded: "Well, strengthen the attack."
Xie Lan was very happy: "This is how we should play! Pass the ball to my son more!"
Hu Lixin was not as optimistic as she was: "But this formation and tactics are new to the Chinese team. I mean well, but I don't know how well the team can execute it..."
…
"Should Tan Yunlong be replaced by Zhou Zijing?" Han Shuyu asked Li Qingliang.
"Tan Yunlong has been injured on his shoulder, and it is still wrapped in a bandage." Li Qingliang reminded her.
"After all, he is also a serious center. His style is similar to that of Zhou Zijing. He can be very compatible with the Chinese team's 352 style of play... Even if Tan Yunlong is weaker than Zhou Zijing in terms of confrontation and creating offensive threats, at least the lineup has a better integration level.
Gao, we are very familiar with each other, so we won’t make mistakes.”
Han Shuyu was worried about this kind of temporary formation change and asking players to play in unfamiliar positions - Xia Xiaoyu is not a wide player, so if he is asked to play as a left midfielder, it is really unclear what kind of performance he can perform.
Unfamiliar formations, unfamiliar positions, unfamiliar tactical combinations, and the probability of mistakes is rapidly increasing.
Li Qingliang understood Han Shuyu's worries, but he could not give an answer.
Because he doesn't know whether this is good or bad.

"... Coach Qin's intention for this adjustment is very clear. He didn't want to play overtime with the Brazilian team. He just wanted to solve the game in regular time."
Li Qingqing analyzed the purpose of Qin Lin's adjustment for the audience in front of the TV.
"So he has to strengthen his offense and push both Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi to the front line. The 343 Chinese team has not played much before, but the combination on the front line is very familiar. This has been inherited from the Olympic team.
Striker combination. This arrangement can ensure that the Chinese team has full firepower when attacking!"
…
"Settling the game in regular time? No! Why do I think of our game against the Netherlands four years ago? This moment is exactly like that time!"
Chinese fans on the Internet are also enthusiastically discussing Qin Lin's substitution adjustment.
What this netizen said is very representative and very representative of the mentality of some Chinese fans.
It's okay if Li Qingqing doesn't explain, but if he explains like this, they will suffer from PTSD.
How did the Chinese team get eliminated from the last World Cup?
It's only been four years...have you forgotten?
Just like this, after being eliminated from the game, there are still a group of slanderous people who brag about "dying bravely" and "glorious failure"...
It was almost hilarious.
It was obvious that he got carried away after equalizing the score. He was blinded by his passion and his reason was blinded by his blood. He ignored his head and body. In the end, he was taught a lesson by the Dutch team's counterattack.
It doesn't matter if the players are irrational, the head coach will follow suit.
They say it is impossible to step into the same river a second time.
Qin Lin's substitution today means he has just stepped into the same river!
He is truly the successor appointed by Jorge Dillon, and he was eliminated in exactly the same way as Dillon!
Paying tribute to the master is not such a way to pay tribute, right?
For everything, if some people are against it, some people will support it, and if there are people who are supporting it, some people will be against it.
Therefore, some netizens who agreed with Qin Lin’s adjustment came out to refute those who disagreed.
"I just scored a goal. If I don't go all out and take advantage of the situation to score another goal, do I have to retreat and wait for the Brazilian team to attack? I think there is nothing wrong with Qin Lin's arrangement!"
The two sides just had a fierce confrontation online.
"Haha, the concept of sneaking is really one after another. Did I say that you shouldn't attack? The key is that you have to attack, yes! You replace Tan Yunlong! Let Xue Ming play as the right midfielder and drag Xia Xiaoyu, the defensive midfielder, to
What is the left midfielder doing?"
"Tan Yunlong is injured, even if he is replaced, what effect will it have? It is a waste of a substitution place. What Qingqing said makes sense. The forward combination of Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai started from the Olympic team.
Yes, they cooperated tacitly, and in the last ten or twenty minutes of the game, if the three of them rushed together, maybe they could really win?"
"Maybe, maybe, you all know it's a possibility. Then maybe the Brazilian team can seize the adaptation period of the Chinese team's formation change in the last ten or twenty minutes of the game and score another goal? I still think that way.
, It’s okay to attack, but it’s not a desperate adjustment. It’s all about the World Cup semi-finals, right?”
"Facing the defending champion, if you want to win and you still can't do anything, then you should just admit defeat and surrender! Qin Lin's substitution adjustment is a gesture to tell the whole team that in the next time, don't think about anything and go all out.
Offense. Any questions?"

In the stands, Tatsuya Sugiyama looked at the newly adjusted player positions of the Chinese team and said with some surprise: "Don't they remember the lesson of being defeated by the Dutch team four years ago?"
Morikawa Junpei said: "They don't think it is a 'lesson'..."
Sugiyama Tatsuya turned to look at Morikawa Junpei in confusion.
Junpei Morikawa continued: "Hulessan and the others have mentioned many times that not continuing to attack after drawing with Brazil was their biggest regret and lesson. But they never mentioned it four years ago because they continued to attack after equalizing the score.
, we need to reflect on the fact that we were defeated by the Dutch team."
"Ah this..." Sugiyama Tatsuya did not expect that the Chinese team did not reflect on their exit from the last World Cup at all.
"They don't feel that they did anything wrong. If there is anything they didn't do right, they might just feel that they were not strong enough four years ago and failed to defeat the Netherlands, but were defeated by the Netherlands...
…”
Hearing what Junpei Morikawa said, Tatsuya Sugiyama looked at the Chinese team players in the stadium.
They were clapping again and punching each other.
Everyone is gearing up and eager to try.
This scene reminded Sugiyama Tatsuya of what Morikawa Junpei said before:
