"Wu Lei broke through with the ball on the left, but the ball was cut off! The Saudi team's counterattack was fast and dangerous!" Duan Xuan said worriedly while watching the game on the court.

"The Saudi team has broken through to the penalty area, and Zhang Wei came to defend." Duan Xuan became more and more worried as he spoke, and even stood up.

Behind the Chinese team's goal, there were Saudi fans. They saw that their team was launching a very threatening attack, and they all stood up clamoring.

"Beautiful! Zhang Wei fell to the ground and broke the ball!" Duan Xuan hung the center of the earth, and sent it down with Zhang Wei's beautiful steal.

"Although the Saudi team's attack did not threaten the Chinese team's goal this time, the players on the field should be warned not to lose the ball easily in the midfield, otherwise the defense line will be under great pressure." Duan Xuan analyzed.

And Lippi, who had been sitting on the coach's bench, couldn't sit still at this time, and walked to the sidelines frowning.

Seeing this, the translator next to him also got up quickly and followed Lippi's side, so as to translate the tactical ideas conveyed by Lippi to the players in a timely manner.

"Run more in the midfield, forget what I said in training?" Lippi put his palms around his mouth and said to the players on the field.

"Don't stick to the ball, play more and cooperate!"

The 66-year-old's voice is still full of breath, and his voice was even recorded in the TV broadcast through the microphone on the ground.

The players of the Chinese team also realized that the midfield was a bit chaotic after 15 minutes. After Lippi's shouting and adjustment on the sidelines, they finally recovered a little bit of the disadvantage on the field.

However, without Xia Ze's tandem in the front midfielder, the two wingers Ai Huang and Wu Lei are always fighting alone, and the center Gao Bo is also isolated and helpless under the marking of the opponent's two central defenders.

Although Sun Ke has good skills at his feet, his body is relatively thin, and his overall view is not strong. He is good at playing short balls, but rarely moves long balls. So the Saudi team sent a midfielder to mark him, basically marking him to death.

When the two wingers can only fight alone, the midfielder will naturally lose power. Fortunately, both Wu Lei and Ai Huang have relatively strong individual combat capabilities, and both can create some articles on the wing to put some pressure on the opponent's defense.

"Zheng Zhi moved the ball to the right, Ai Huang, facing the left back of the Saudi team, Zhang Linpeng behind him has already stepped in!" Duan Xuan saw that the Chinese team had a rare attack on the wing,

Said excitedly.

"Beautiful! Passed the ball to Zhang Linpeng, and he pushed into the baseline!"

"A cross! Gao Bo in the middle is responding!"

"good chance!"

"Header!"

Zhang Linpeng passed a beautiful curve ball, bypassing the opponent's first central defender, and Gao Bo got an excellent chance to attack the goal!

"Oh! The ball went wide!" Duan Xuan covered his face and sighed.

Tens of thousands of fans of the Chinese team at the scene clamored when Zhang Linpeng made a cross. When Gao Bo's header went slightly wide, the audience was full of regrets!

Lippi, who was originally sitting firmly on the coach's bench, still trembled excitedly when this opportunity presented itself.

But when he finally found out that the ball had not been scored, he only showed a little bit of regret, and didn't make much action.

After the Chinese team created this chance to score on the right, the players of the Saudi team did not dare to press hard. The two sides fought 0-0 in the first half in a scene that was more than exciting but not exciting, and entered the intermission.

"I played well in the first half, but you didn't fully implement my tactical arrangement." Lippi said to the Chinese team members in the locker room.

"I need you to cooperate more with passing the ball, instead of doing it alone!" Lippi glanced at everyone and said seriously.

"The players of the Saudi team are no worse than you in terms of physical and technical skills. We need to give full play to our advantages."

After Lippi said a word, he would stop and ask the translator next to him to explain to the players of the national football team.

"Sun Ke, don't get entangled with their midfielders in the second half, avoid him, and go back to your own half to get the ball as much as possible." Lippi looked at Sun Ke and urged.

Sun Ke was drinking water, when he saw Lippi looking at him, he nodded emphatically in agreement.

Xia Ze sat on the sidelines, watching his sweaty teammates discussing the situation on the field with the people around him, and felt uncomfortable. Obviously his teammates are all fighting hard on the field, but he can only sit on the bench, and he has no hope of even playing.

Blame the damn weather!

At the start of the second half of the game, after Lippi's instructions during the intermission, Sun Ke really retreated deeper to get the ball, and Zheng Zhi also advanced from time to time, increasing the connection and vitality of the Chinese team's midfield, and the offense was slowly organized. up.

"The Chinese team made some changes in the midfield in the second half. Although there were no substitutions, it can be clearly seen that Sun Ke retreated deeper than in the first half, and the running in the midfield was more active."

"Obviously Lippi made demands on the players during the halftime break, and the Chinese team's offense immediately revived in the second half. It is worthy of being a world famous coach!" Duan Xuan immediately praised Lippi after the Chinese team gradually gained the upper hand endlessly.

The fans of the Chinese team in the stands saw the team gradually gaining the upper hand, and the shouts and cheers in their mouths became even louder.

"Chinese team, come on! Chinese team, come on!..."

The sound of cheering came one after another, endlessly. The head coach of the Saudi team frowned, walked to the sidelines, and directed his players to deal with the sudden changes of the Chinese team.

Lippi never sat down after the start of the second half, and has been standing on the sidelines, directing the players on the field.

The TV camera showed the two head coaches on the sidelines. Although the two were far apart in terms of qualifications and status in football, Lippi did not look down on each other in the slightest. He still frowned and looked dignified.

Sitting on the bench, Xia Ze looked at Lippi, who kept gesturing and whistling to the players on the field, and found that the old man was 66 years old, but still full of energy. He secretly admired him.

It should be said that the greatest hope of this national team lies not in the few players who have studied abroad, nor in Xia Ze himself, but in Lippi's coaching.

If someone said two months ago that the Chinese team could break out of the death group and even reach the semi-finals, others would definitely say that he was dreaming. But now that Lippi is here, saying this is no longer a joke, but it makes people look forward to it.

But the changes on the football field can never be controlled by one person. Lippi is just a 66-year-old coach, he is not a god.

After the Chinese team's Sun Ke retreated and Zheng Zhi occasionally advanced, the midfielder was indeed revitalized. But this has led to a hidden worry in defense-Zheng Zhi's pressure from time to time will lead to insufficient defense at the midfielder position, but the Saudi team just took advantage of this defensive loophole. c
