Champion’s Heart

The game between the French team and the German team was obviously two powerful heroes, but the game was very dull. Only one goal was scored in ninety minutes, which is very addictive.

The fans who have just watched this game, and then watch the game between the Chinese team and Colombia, but found that this game is completely different from the previous one.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team and Colombia did not try to find each other. From the first meeting of the game, a high-speed and confrontational contest was launched.

This really surprised both the commentator and the fans.

Originally, they thought that since both teams reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup, they should be more cautious, because the strength of the two teams is close, and the victory or defeat may be between the goals. If you are not careful, If you make a mistake and your opponent catches it, then it’s all over.

Looking at France and Germany playing so cautiously, it shows how similar teams will perform…

But neither the Chinese team nor Columbia seemed to think so much.

In terms of the starting lineup, Yang Hao, who started in the previous game, did not appear in the starting lineup. His veteran Zheng Zhi replaced him.

Since then, starting positions in other positions are exactly the same as in the previous game.

Just adjusting the position of Yang Hao should not be for Yang Hao to avoid the risk of a yellow card suspension, but for other purposes.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team launched a fierce attack on Colombia, perhaps some clues can be seen.

Whether Zheng Zhi is in Guangzhou Hengyuan or before the national team without Zhou Yi, he is responsible for midfield rhythm control and scheduling. He is not that kind of rushing up and then passes a deadly straight ball. , The kind of player assisting teammates, of course, he can do the same, he has the ability, but he is better at combing the midfield.

When Zheng Zhi re-enters the court, Zhou Yi does not need to take too many tasks to sort out the midfield. He can completely hand over this job to Zheng Zhi. And Zhou Yi?

Lippi’s mission in this game was to move him closer to the restricted area of ​​Colombia, use his vision and ability to pass a more lethal pass, and he could also threaten Colombia with a long shot Goal.

From this adjustment point of view, Lippi wanted to attack, not to defend, otherwise he would not let Yang Hao, who is better at defending than Zheng Zhi, sit on the bench.

Lippi wanted to use offense to play against Colombia. He hoped that this time he could finish the game in ninety minutes.

why?

Because of the physical problems of the Chinese team now, if you play another 120 minutes, or even a penalty shootout, the Chinese team’s physical fitness will really be exhausted.

At that time, even if they had crossed the level of Colombia and reached the quarterfinals, when faced with Germany, the Chinese team would have no strength to resist.

With this in mind, Lippi hopes that the Chinese team can solve the battle in only 90 minutes, so that the physical energy consumption of the Chinese team players is not so large.

After all, the bench thickness of the Chinese team is not enough, and the available players are limited. The eleven players in the starting lineup are basically the strongest lineup of the Chinese team. This main lineup is relatively stable, and he can only fine-tune one or two positions per game. So far, this lineup has played four games, almost all of them are hard fights. Especially in the last round of the eighth-final with Brazil, enough to play 120 minutes, not to mention, also played a full five rounds of penalty shootout.

Although Lippi took a day off for the team on the second day after the game, for Chinese players who are fighting continuously, it is nothing short of a salary.

You know, before the World Cup, China’s domestic Super League and AFC Champions League played only one-third, the physical energy consumption of Chinese players is not too large, but the returnees who support the team’s main fighting ability have experienced After a whole European season, except for Yan Min who did not play a lot in the first half of the season, the other five were the absolute main force of their respective teams. They started the game and never rested.

The intensity of the European League is very high, and the squeeze on the player’s physical strength is also very limited, so every overseas player who returns to the national team is actually in a state of fatigue, and directly invested in the national team’s training without a rest.

Not to mention Zhou Yi and Yan Min. They followed the Dortmund into the UEFA Champions League final and played in the club until May 25th before ending the game at the club.

Zhou Yi was injured in the Champions League final and missed the national team training until the group stage.

Zhou Yi is definitely the most tired person in the team, because he is an indispensable core in Dortmund. He has participated in all other games except for the absence of more than a month due to injury. Dortmund has suffered frequent injuries and attacks this season, and it relies more on Zhou Yi.

In addition, he was injured in the Champions League final, making him unable to follow the Chinese team for training.

Don’t think that if a player does not participate in training, he can quickly recover his physical strength at home, and he can make him better in physical fitness than those of normal training… On the contrary, such a player’s physical fitness is worse. Because for professional players, physical fitness is definitely not cultivated by rest, but accumulated by scientific and stable physical training.

Zhou Yi missed important training for the national team due to injury, which also made his physical strength worse than his teammates.

Lippi didn’t want to put a burden on the team. Instead of conservatively and cautiously grinding with Columbia, it was better to solve the battle quickly, so that he had more room for substitutions.

Why does he think he can solve the battle quickly?

Because Lippi did not believe what the outside media said, it was a close match.

He believes that the strength of the Chinese team is above Colombia.

Although in the number of goals in the World Cup, the Chinese team is far behind Colombia-the latter has so far scored 11 goals in the World Cup, only one goal less than the Netherlands team, ranking Second place in the World Cup goal list. The Chinese team has only six goals. However, half of the six goals of the Chinese team were scored without Zhou Yi playing. The first two group matches were not the complete form of the Chinese team.

Although the Chinese team may not compete with Colombia in terms of the number and value of stars, the Chinese team is the first-class European player in the key position. There are He Ying and Yan Min, the main players of the respective clubs on the front line, and Zhou Yi in the midfield. With Yang Muge, the guard has Guo Nu, and the goalkeeper is Sun Pan. This happens to be a very good central axis.

Lippi firmly believes that his team can definitely beat Colombia.

※※※

After the aggressive Chinese team started on the offensive, they launched a violent attack towards the goal of Colombia.

In the third minute, Yan Min was knocked down by Colombian Carlos Sanchez when he took the ball on the left.

The referee from Spain Velasco made a foul on the Colombian player and gave the Chinese team a chance to free kick in the frontcourt. This free kick is a little in front of the top of the free throw arc. It is a slight left angle, but the position is good. Free kick.

He Yinglai took the free kick that could shoot directly. The football he played bypassed the wall, but flew out of the left goal post of the Columbia goal.

“Oh! What a pity!” exclaimer Duan Xin exclaimed. “Almost went in!”

In the sixth minute, the Chinese team launched an attack from the left. When Yan Min took the ball on the left and tried to break into the penalty area, the Colombian player kicked the football out of the bottom line.

The Chinese team thus got a corner kick.

Zhou Yilai took the penalty for this set ball. He ran to swing the ball, and Guo Nu and Feng Xiaoting, two defenders of the Chinese team, also entered the restricted area of ​​Colombia.

“The Chinese team won a corner kick. This is the first corner kick of the game…” Duan Xin said.

After Zhou Yi put the football in place, he took two steps back and prepared to kick the corner.

In the penalty area, players from both sides have also finished standing.

After Zhou Yi approached the run, he kicked the football to the front with his right foot. This is a spin ball, and the football flew past the front point of the goal.

In this position, He Ying and Guo Nu are fighting for the top. The two of them also led Colombia’s defensive strength in front of the door. As many as four defensive players squeezed beside them to defend them.

But neither side touched football.

The football crossed over He Ying’s head and flew straight to the goal point!

The football was swiped right in front of the goalkeeper~www.mtlnovel.com~ Because the speed was too fast, the goalkeeper did not respond anymore. He just turned his head and followed the football, looking back.

There should have been a defensive player there, but he was also attracted by the previous battle, ignoring the people around him.

Feng Xiaoting, another Chinese defender of the Chinese team, seized this opportunity to jump out of him and happened to be on the spot of football!

He lifted his foot and swept the flying football towards the goal!

Colombian goalkeeper Ospina made a save after seeing Feng Xiaoting shoot, but how could it be too late?

If Colombia’s back post can stand alone when corner kick defense is in place, it can also block Feng Xiaoting’s shot. But this time, Colombia didn’t do it. Football flew into the goal without suspense!

“Ah! Feng Xiaoting! The ball is coming!!!” Duan Xin shouted excitedly. “In just seven minutes at the start, the Chinese team took the lead! It’s awesome! This start is awesome!”
