Fox in the Penalty Area

When the last Chinese player who went out to warm up returned to the locker room, head coach Jorge Dillon closed the door to the locker room. The noise outside was reduced, but it could still be heard. Even through the many walls, the frenetic and noisy atmosphere in the Crown Stadium could not be stopped. "Did you hear that song during the warm-up?" Dillon asked through translator Yu Jintao. "It's that song that you are very familiar with." Yu Jintao directly announced the answer for him: "It's "Singing the Motherland."" Everyone nodded to show that they heard it. During the warm-up, the stands were almost full of fans from both sides, so the atmosphere was very lively, even compared to the official game. Fans from both sides have already begun to create an atmosphere in advance. Fans from both teams were singing. The fans of the home team sang louder, but the songs of the Chinese fans could still occasionally break out from the "surrounding" of the opponent. Especially the song "Singing the Motherland" has a catchy melody that is so familiar to everyone and is almost engraved in everyone's genes. "This song is a victory song. It is usually sung after we win the game. Why was it sung during the warm-up before the game this time? I was wondering, is it because even our fans Don't you think you can win this game?" The players of the Chinese team were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Dillon would understand the behavior of the Chinese fans from this perspective... They were just innocent when they heard this song. I was so moved, but I really didn’t think in the direction the head coach said. However, before the game, the media around the world did not expect the Chinese team to win, which is also true. After all, their opponent is the defending champion + host + FIFA's second-ranked Spanish national team. This bUFF stack is almost full... Portugal, also the host country, lost to the Norwegian team in the opening game, which also served as a reminder to Spain. In addition, Hu Lai plays for Madrid Pirates. The Spanish international players are either teammates with Hu Lai or have played against Hu Lai in the game, so they know Hu Lai's abilities very well. Therefore, there is almost no possibility of underestimating the enemy, and preparations must be sufficient. In terms of paper strength, the Chinese team lags behind in all aspects except on the front line. Mentally, the opponent does not underestimate the enemy but also takes it seriously. The time and place are not favorable, and the people and people are not on the Chinese team's side - Spain's home stadium, the Crown Stadium, which can accommodate 85,000 people, has more than 50,000 Spanish fans. It is said that Chinese fans only bought close to 20,000 tickets. Twenty thousand versus fifty thousand, Spanish fans are more than twice as many as Chinese fans. Thinking about it this way, the Chinese team may be able to score goals with Hu Lai's superb opportunity catching ability, but the gap in overall strength, especially the deficiencies in defense, should still cause the Chinese team to concede more goals... and the offensive lineup Compared to the top level in Asia, or even the world level, the Chinese team's defense may only be higher than the average level in Asia. "But I know, and you also know. Our goal in this game is to defeat them! To the outside world, the Chinese team's draw with Spain is a victory, but to us, a draw is a failure!" Dillon waved his arms vigorously, saying Jin Tao followed him and made the same movements, speaking loudly in the same tone. "After the start of this World Cup, except for the first game, most of the games were uneventful. The teams that deserved to win all won...it was like pure water with no taste at all. Let's give them some. Exciting, give the whole world a surprise!" After boosting morale, Dillon began to emphasize some tactical points that need attention again: "Ramirez has been determined to miss this game because of his unrecovered injury. But from the previous Judging from the warm-up match, it was obvious that Borja had made special arrangements for this situation. They magnified their advantage in possession of the ball and replaced defense with possession of the ball - after all, the ball was at their feet, so naturally it was You don’t have to worry about defense. At the same time, controlling the ball can also better consume the opponent’s physical strength, because grabbing the ball requires much greater physical strength than passing and catching the ball.” Dillon has already drawn it on the tactical board. The positioning of the opposing player. Then he clicked on the Spanish national team’s No. 6 player: “Rosas is the core of their midfield and the ‘eye of the formation’.

Without Ramirez, Rosas's protection has plummeted, so we have to focus on attacking his point on the court. You have to play tougher! Stick to him immediately and use your body to collide with him and interfere with him! Don't be afraid of fouls, and don't be afraid of getting cards. The connection between him and other Spanish players must be cut off, especially between him and Campuzano. The two of them are midfield partners in Catalonia United. They have worked together for many years and have a very tacit understanding. Don’t watch him pass the football and then defend it. You must judge the blocking position in advance...” “In addition, if we lose the ball, we must quickly organize a counterattack on the spot and regain the ball as soon as possible. Once Spain is allowed to hold the ball for a long time, the game will fall into their rhythm. We can only be driven and run, and the defensive formation will be messed up. “After regaining the ball, the offensive advancement should be as simple as possible, moving forward through the two wings and then developing towards the center. Don't drop your feet back and forth in the midfield or backcourt to increase the risk of being intercepted by the opponent. ”※※※“If we lose the ball, we must quickly return to defense. The two wings of the Chinese team are very threatening. They will definitely launch a quick attack through speed and hit directly behind our defense. They have very efficient shooters, so they don't have to compete with us in the midfield and backcourt for ball possession. If we cannot get back in time, leaving a lot of space in the backline, we may concede the ball. "After talking about the tactical requirements, the Spanish national team's head coach Kili Borja began to give his final instructions. "I don't think the Chinese team will believe that we will despise them. They know that we attach great importance to them, and we also know that They know this. So there are no 'surprises' or 'accidents' in this game. It's a pure competition of strength. But I am different from the outside media. I don’t think we will beat the Chinese team in a pure competition of strength. Although the Chinese team is ranked far lower than us, each of you must put the Chinese team and us on the same level in your heart. Only in this way can we defeat them. Note, I said 'possibly'. "When saying this, Borja's expression and tone were very serious. "In football, the result can never be determined before the game starts. Don't worry about what the pre-match odds and expert analysis think about us. At the final whistle Before the whistle blows and the final score comes out, we can’t think we will win. So don’t let up until then, stay focused and give your best! This is our first game in this World Cup and we must win! ”※※※When the players from both sides walked out of the locker room one after another and came to the tunnel to wait to play, Hu Lai did not stand honestly in his team, but walked to the Spanish team and greeted them warmly. It's as if he is the owner of this stadium. "Ha, Joaquin, long time no see!" Are you taking the captain's place today? "Hu Lai put his arm around Joaquin Vela's shoulders. If it weren't for the fact that the color of his jersey was different from his opponent's, he would have blended in perfectly. Then he turned to Rosas, the core midfielder of the Spanish team, and said: "Brother, just a moment. Hold your hands high, but be gentle! Then he turned around and pointed at Yin Weng and said, "When I get back to the club, you must treat me to dinner!" To comfort my wounded heart..." Yin Weng asked: "Why me..." Before he could finish his words, his clothes were tugged by the center back Nuno Sequeiros next to him. Yin Weng came back to his senses and immediately Shut up. In the end, Spanish goalkeeper Rodríguez Backer, who was wearing the captain’s armband, stepped in and drove Hu Lai back to the opposite side: “Okay, Hu. We are all familiar with it, there is no need to play these tricks, just focus on the game itself. "Hu Lai's expression changed when he returned to his team. His expression, which had been resentful just now, instantly returned to normal. "Are you going to sword dance again? "Zhang Qinghuan, who plays football in Sarria, understands Spanish, so he completely understood what Hu Lai meant just now. "Does sword dancing make sense! I am not Xiang Zhuang. Hu Lai rolled his eyes at him. "But Lao Di is right, they did not underestimate the enemy." It's definitely not that they don't underestimate the enemy, but they really value us. "Then this game will be difficult to play..." Liu Yan, the starting center back next to him, frowned and said. "Actually, it's no different. The game against the defending champion was originally difficult to play." "Wang Guangwei comforted his central defender partner. Liu Yan was very impressed that Zhang Qinghuan could still chat and laugh with Hu Lai before the game started: "Brother Huan, you are so stable. Although he was no longer a newcomer to the Chinese team, he still felt uncontrollably nervous before the game started. Hu Laiyi was not happy when he heard this. He glared at Liu Yan: "Why don't you praise me?" "Liu Yan quickly defended: "No, why do you need to praise me for your misbehavior? You are extremely talented..." Chen Xingyi came up and said, "I understand, you said Hu Lai was born cheap. "The surrounding Chinese team players burst into laughter. Liu Yan also laughed, and the original tension in his heart disappeared little by little with a smile. ※※※"What are they talking about? Is it that funny? "The laughter is a bit exaggerated. Is it to cover up the nervousness?" "You can't say that. With Hu here, the atmosphere in the team is good." "Yes, he is a master of atmosphere adjustment..." Although the Spanish players can't understand what the Chinese players are talking about, they can understand the laughter and understand the expressions. It is obvious that the mentality of the Chinese team players is very good. , otherwise they would not have been able to laugh so heartily before their first World Cup match. "So expecting the Chinese team to be nervous and thus perform abnormally is just a delusion of those ignorant media and overly optimistic fans. "A voice sounded behind the Spanish internationals. Everyone turned around and found captain Juan Ramirez wearing a sports coat.

"In this game, everyone should show their best competitive state and compete head-on with the Chinese team! They are more than stupid!" After Ramirez said this, he went straight to the Chinese team, and then he hugged Naughty neck. The Chinese team’s laughter stopped abruptly. Hu Lai turned around in surprise, only to find that it was his club captain Juan Ramirez. "I think before I go to the stands to watch the game, I should come and say hello to you, Hu." Ramirez said calmly and with a smile on his face. Then, without waiting for Hu to come back to him, he let go of Hu Lai, walked towards Zhang Qinghuan, and greeted him. Zhang Qinghuan plays for Saria. The two are direct opponents in club games, so they are very familiar with each other. After greeting the two most familiar people, Ramirez shook hands with each Chinese team player one by one, smiled and said hello. No matter how many people he knew or were familiar with, he didn't miss any of the eleven players in the Chinese team's starting lineup. After doing all this, he did not go back to his team, but went straight to the exit of the players' tunnel. During the whole process, Hu Lai didn't even have time to respond to his greeting just now. "Ramirez is telling you that he is the master of this place." Zhang Qinghuan said clearly. "I know." Hu Lai looked at Ramirez's back and nodded. He looked back at his teammates and found that the expressions on some people's faces had become serious again, and the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere just now was gone. "You are still older..." Wang Guangwei said with emotion, "This is the real captain." He felt that he just wore the captain's armband and was still far from becoming a "real captain". Then he saw Hu Lai looking towards him. "Team King." "What for?" Wang Guangwei frowned. After seeing Ramirez's demeanor just now, he felt that the title Hu Lai sounded a little harsh. "When the coin guesses later, you want the right to kick off." ※※※pS, the World Cup plot is about to begin. We will still have the same plot as the last World Cup. The game will be updated three times a day, and other times once a day. So starting from tomorrow, three updates!
