Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 470 The Dilemma of Inertial Thinking

The French player originally wanted to pounce on the English player who had the ball, but when he saw Harry Kane pass the ball directly to the central defender Stones, he did not act impulsively. Instead, he followed the strict arrangement of coach Deschamps before the game and retreated to half-court, waiting for England to attack. .

Southgate, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, smiled slightly. He had already realized what the French team's strategy was for this game.

Defensive counterattack!

He watched the semi-final between France and Croatia at close range at the Zenit Arena and knew how the French team's core tactics were carried out. Therefore, he made targeted arrangements before the game and did not rush to launch an attack in the face of the French team's defensive counterattack. , but passed the ball to the French defensive half in a step-by-step manner.

Li Qing didn't show his edge in the first few minutes of the game. His running was more focused on one-kick kicks. Kanter, who was responsible for the defense, frowned and looked down at Li Qing's legs from time to time. He felt injured and felt Very normal.

Are there any injuries?

Li Qing, who noticed Kanter's strange gaze, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and suddenly felt a chill in the back yard.

Kanter keenly observed Li Qing's disgusted and strange look, coughed slightly, and kept hinting to himself: for victory, any price is worth it...

Li Qing kicked the ball several times in a row, and there were even two times when Kante was the only one on defense and did not choose to break through. French head coach Deschamps raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Is he really injured?"

As time goes by, this possibility becomes more and more likely. According to Li Qing's past game habits, he will decisively choose to break through whenever he has the opportunity. How can he pass the ball?

Especially facing Kanter's sole defense, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Li Qing.

Then...there is only one truth!

Li Qing is injured!

In this case, the team's defensive energy can be focused on other English players to avoid wasting resources and focusing on one thing at the expense of the other.

However, Deschamps was very cautious and did not ask the players to adjust their strategies immediately. Instead, he waited for a few more minutes until the tenth minute of the game before taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity to give midfielder Pogba a tactical change gesture.

Since the French team used the first ten minutes to test whether Li Qing committed a foul, they mainly focused on defense and the offense was tentative. The input of troops was very limited. This means that during this period, England controlled the rhythm of the field. Many fans in front of the TV were puzzled.

Logically speaking, France's overall strength is stronger than England's and should take the initiative on the field. However, because France is so afraid of Li Qing, the ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster is shocking.

France 33%: England 67%

Considering that France's ball possession rate has remained at around 50% in the past six games, England head coach Southgate feels the pressure. Although the situation seems to be England's advantage, who can guarantee that this advantage can continue? Woolen cloth?

The French team's transition from defense to offense was very abnormal. Pogba's vision and passing are among the best in the world. His passing with Griezmann and Mbappe were very good. This was reflected in the semi-final against Croatia. So incisively and vividly, it is better for the game to return to its own game track as soon as possible.

Since you want to play defensive counterattack, I won't let you do it...

"aoaooaoaooaooooooo——"

The English fans at the Luzhniki Stadium were very excited when they saw their supporting team beating the French team. They burst into loud cheers one after another. Those Chinese fans and neutral salted fish fans also joined in the fanatical atmosphere from time to time. The whole stadium was filled with the cheers of England fans.

The game entered the 11th minute. Li Qing, who was being guarded by Kanter, took two steps forward in disgust. Kanter quickly followed, coughed dryly, covered his mouth next to Li Qing and said, "Li, don't get me wrong. I just want to make sure you are not injured."

"Didn't I tell Hugo Lloris that he wasn't injured?"

Li Qing spread his hands and said.

"Are you lying to me?" Kanter looked at Li Qing's feet suspiciously and said firmly: "Why don't you hit me with the ball if you're not injured? You were not like this before, you have changed!"

"I'm in a bad mood, and I don't really want to irritate you, okay?"

Li Qing raised his head proudly.

Kanter looked left and right, up and down. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Li Qing was a little liar. He muttered in his heart: "This guy must be bluffing, and he is hurt!"

Southgate consciously gave up the ball, but the French team's approach made him very speechless. When switching from defense to offense, he did not hand the football to the midfielder Pogba, but directly passed the ball to the isolated Giroud in front. .

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei frowned and said: "France is too anxious to attack. The football should be given to Pogba first and let him decide the offensive method."

"Perhaps this French team is a little nervous about participating in the World Cup final for the first time?"

Commentator Xu Yang said uncertainly: "England has a striker of Li Qing's level. It is reasonable for Deschamps, who has won the World Cup as a professional player, to be too worried about Li Qing's destructive ability. I hope France will play in the next game." Being able to find the rhythm will bring a direct threat to Pickford's goal and bring a hearty World Cup classic to fans around the world."

England head coach Southgate placed three Liverpool players in the midfield. To a large extent, he wanted to take advantage of the tacit understanding of the three to bring the most direct threat to the French team's defense. Unfortunately, Li Qing was closely monitored, and the original tactics were basically basic. Didn't work.

However, as the game progressed, he gradually realized that the tactics formulated before the game could still be implemented.

Perhaps the French players gradually realized that Li Qing was really injured, and his defensive focus shifted. Li Qing was only left with Kanter to defend, and it was also a regional defense, which gave Li Qing an extremely huge opportunity. ball space.

Dell received Milner's pass from the left and chose to pass the ball directly to Li Qing without stopping. Li Qing turned around in one go, took a step forward with his right foot, and quickly swung his left foot. Kante was too far away. , could only watch helplessly as Li Qing raised his left foot to shoot.

"aoaoaooaooaooaooooo——"

The England fans and Chinese fans in the audience subconsciously erupted into a loud roar as violent as a tsunami.

"--plum!"

Sky commentator Andy Gray perked up.

"Shoot!"

As soon as Li Qing raised his left foot, he felt a forward push from his back. His body fell forward involuntarily, and the referee's pinata whistle sounded.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei changed the topic: "Pogba pushed Li Qing from behind and England got a direct free kick from a relatively good position."

Kanter watched Li Qing fall to the ground and first thanked Pogba, then became annoyed and realized that he was stuck in a habitual thinking dilemma. Li Qing was injured, but it didn't mean he couldn't shoot!
