Fox in the Penalty Area

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Luoqiu Chinese] The fastest update! No ads!

Ten minutes after Hulay scored twice, the first half ended.

The Chinese team did not score any more goals. After taking a two-goal lead, they implemented their defensive counterattack tactics to the end.

After falling behind by two goals, Nigeria continued to strengthen its offensive. However, in the face of the Chinese team's defensive counterattack, their players themselves had unstable military morale and were really helpless. So until the end of the first half, let alone equalizing the score, they didn't even score a goal. They entered the halftime break with a two-goal deficit... Back in the locker room, the Nigerian players were silent.

They also know very well that if they want to qualify from the group, they have to chase three goals in a row, and this is an almost impossible task. Just thinking about it makes people desperate.

The team's head coach Ebubelia Oladebo was actually a little disappointed with the score, but in front of the depressed players, as a head coach, he could not act as if he had lost his fighting spirit. He clapped his hands hard, drew everyone's attention to himself, and said: "Don't think about chasing three balls in a row. Whether it's three balls or two balls, you have to start with the first ball. Start. So our first priority in the second half is... to score a goal first!"

He held up his index finger.

"Don't make it too complicated when organizing the offense. Don't pass the ball back and forth in the opponent's frontcourt. When the ball is at our feet, pass the ball to the three forwards and let them create opportunities with their own personal abilities. If there is no good scoring opportunity, then create a set kick, whether it is a free kick, a corner kick, a penalty kick...whatever will do. The problem of the Chinese team is poor defense. In terms of personal ability, their defenders It's not as good as before us

Sharp. Just use our speed and physical fitness to attack their defense! "

Jorge Dillon decided to make personnel changes at center back.

He sensed that Nigeria would counterattack wildly in the second half, and Liu Yan's slow speed was a loophole in the Chinese team's back line. Since Liu Yan is slower, it is naturally impossible for Mao Junzheng to get on - he is even slower than Liu Yan. So he turned his attention to the young central defender Qin Qi.

Twenty-year-old Qin Qi may be lacking in experience, but his speed is absolutely guaranteed because he is young after all.

"Xiao Qi," he shouted in accented Chinese.

Over the years in China, although he still hasn't learned Chinese, Dillon can barely call players by their Chinese names. "You come on in the second half."

Qin Qi seemed confused about such a simple sentence, as if he didn't understand it. It was Mao Jun next to him who touched him with his elbow, and he came back to his senses: "Okay, okay..." "You come on and replace Liu Yan. Pay special attention to the opponent's speed to force a breakthrough." Qin Qi continued to nod. : "Okay, no problem, coach..."

Then Dillon announced to Liu Yan his decision to dismiss him and explained why Liu Yan was dismissed. Liu Yan didn't have any objections. His side was really tight in the first half. Although he didn't concede a goal, he was still in danger. He can understand if the head coach wants to replace him. He's really not good at speed. What he is good at is heading for the top and frontal interception.

Nigeria obviously wanted to use speedy forwards to bully itself, so Liu Yan had nothing to say after being replaced.

In a tournament system like the World Cup, where many games are played in a short period of time, there is basically no strict distinction between "main players" and "substitutes." It is entirely up to the head coach to make substitutions and adjustments based on tactical requirements and the situation on the field.

At this time, it is stupid to worry about whether the main position is not guaranteed when he was replaced after only playing half a game.

If you show dissatisfaction with this substitution, then maybe you won’t even think about @

You can qualify.

But if we can't threaten the Spanish goal and let the opponent attack unscrupulously, we might really lose the ball.

So he's going to replace him with Caesar.

Even if Caesar can't score, as long as he plays, the Spanish team will have to devote more energy to guard against him. After all, the goal against the Chinese team in the last game made no one dare to jump on the 38-year-old Veteran, he has the ability to seal a throat with one sword.

As long as the Spanish team's energy can be restrained so that they can't besiege Italy unscrupulously, then Caesar will have completed his tactical mission.

A draw and one point can also allow Italy to qualify from this group of death - Italy is not yet qualified to pick and choose. Thinking about whether to be first or second in the group, it would be good to qualify.

"Caesar, it's time for you to take the stage!" Caviglia turned to Caesar and said. Selius Caesar nodded: "Okay."

"Keep calm and be patient. In the second half we have to continue to take advantage of our possession and make every detail the best. Only in this way can we beat Italy. This is the most critical half of the game, but the more so. , the more you have to stay calm..."

Spanish national team coach Kily Borja is stressing the importance of mentality to his players. His voice was not loud, his tone was not intense, and he had no exaggerated body movements. He hopes to use his approach to keep the players calm. In his opinion, the more at such a time, the more calm is needed.

If the Spanish team plays too hastily in the second half, Italy may take advantage of the opportunity.

"Stay patient and calm. We only need one goal to break the game. Italy will not be able to continue to set up the bus. Once they attack, we will have more opportunities!" He just encouraged the players, But no personnel adjustments were made.

The main reason is that the current range of adjustments is really limited. Of course he knows to strengthen the offense, but how to strengthen the offense? There are only a few forwards, and he knows what level they are.

It's a fool's errand to expect immediate results if a forward is replaced. Borja still trusts his own football philosophy and creates opportunities by controlling the ball. And who said that scoring goals can only be scored by forwards?

As long as you control the ball well and have enough opportunities, midfielders and even defenders can score. Lightly

"The second half of the game is about to begin, and the Chinese team is the first to make substitution adjustments. Dillon replaced Liu Yan with young central defender Qin Qi! This is a somewhat bold adjustment. Qin Qi is very young, only 20 years old... …” “Zhui Long probably saw that Liu Yan was having a hard time dealing with Nigeria’s striker Opoku in the first half, so he decided to switch to Qin Qi, who was relatively fast. But Qin Qi lacked experience...”

Both He Feng and Yan Kang were a little worried about Dillon's substitution.

They could understand why Dillon made such an adjustment, but they felt it was unnecessary. There were indeed many dangers in the first half on Liu Yan's side, but after all, they did not concede a goal. Now taking the initiative to make substitution adjustments at the beginning of the second half is tantamount to breaking this delicate balance. The Chinese team's defense must need to adapt again.

In their view, Dillon's substitution adjustment has increased unknown risks.

Before the start of the second half of the game, Wang Yuan found her son standing on the sidelines in the stands. She was excited at first, and then frowned.

Having come to watch three Chinese team games, she certainly hopes that her son will get a chance to play in the World Cup.

But I don’t want my son to perform poorly after playing. It was already very controversial for her son to be selected into the twenty-three-man roster. Everyone would look at her son playing football with a magnifying glass. A slight mistake would not be a big deal to other people, but to her son. If you have it on your body, you may be exposed to the Internet for several days.

Logically speaking, the safest way is of course not to play.

But now that she has participated in the World Cup, why would Wang Yuan want her son to just be a spectator on the bench? As a mother, I feel so anxious and conflicted.

When Caesar was seen standing on the sidelines, preparing to come on as a substitute, there were huge boos at the Crown Stadium.

Spanish fans naturally don't like Caesar. After all, Caesar and Spain's "Prince" Cerrados were once competitors. At the same time, they also smelled danger from Caesar's appearance.

"Seleus Cesar! He is going to come on as a substitute! Before the game, Italian coach Caviglia announced that Caesar would not be able to play against Spain due to injury. Looking at it now, it is obviously a smoke bomb. ... Italy's strategy is still the same as when it defeated the Chinese team in the last game, which is to wait until part of the opponent's physical strength is consumed, and then let Caesar come up and charge. After all, with Caesar's current physical strength, it is difficult to fight the whole game. Instead of Let him @start the game and fight with physically strong opponents, wasting energy in vain, it is better to save precious energy and come on as a substitute in the second half..."

In front of the Spanish team's coaching bench, assistant coach Alexis Moano took his eyes away from Caesar and said to the head coach Kili Borja next to him: "The Italians are really cunning. Replace Caesar at this time. Did you come up here to take me by surprise?" Borja said calmly:

Amid boos, the Italian team completed the substitutions.

Because it is a substitution during halftime, there is no need to wait for the substituted player to come to the sidelines to hand over to Caesar. As long as the referee nods, he can run directly onto the field. Caesar replaced the previous @starting striker Wario Carrero. After playing, he will partner with Daniel Dukun in the double forward position. As he ran onto the court, Caesar lowered his head and carefully felt the feeling of his right knee. He also used a little more force and sprinted a few steps. So far, nothing unusual has been found. He could breathe a sigh of relief for now.

Hopefully the knee on this leg lasts forty-five minutes.
