There is a dream called football

In the player tunnel, Gerrard and Li Qiao met. Although the two were no longer in the same club, their relationship was still the same.

"Steven, you are so cruel."

"Haha, there is no way, otherwise you would have passed and we would have lost the ball."

"No way."

"I'm very happy to meet each other on the court, and it's a competition like the World Cup."

Li Qiao nodded.

Li Qiao and Gerrard experienced a magical season together, which is something that is indelible in their hearts.

Men's friendship may be different from women's. The more men have experienced friendship, the less they talk. At the crossroads to the home and away teams, Gerrard patted Li Qiao and said, "Let's get together when we have time."

"Forget it, I want my team to go further."

"Really? I thought your Chinese team's goal had been achieved."

"Ha ha."

This time in the locker room, Zhu Guanghu's mentality was much more relaxed than in the last game against Sweden. The reason is also very simple, that is, the Chinese team's tactics are effective, and the no-forward formation is at least effective.

A team is not afraid of difficulties, but is afraid of being helpless and having no solution. That is the most unpleasant thing.

"Everyone has seen that our tactics are completely effective and we can have a 50-50 draw with England."

Zhu Guanghu's words were exaggerated. Except for the score, everything else was crushed by his opponents. But as the coach, he had to say this, otherwise the players would have even less confidence.

"In the second half we have to repeat the tactics we used in the first half, starting with five at the back, and then we wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

Everyone nodded, this tactic was very well executed, so everyone understood it.

The so-called tactics with high execution ability mean that everyone knows what to do. If Guardiola is asked to explain tactics to everyone, then not many people may understand.

Eriksson is very calm about this situation, and is even used to it. Football is round, and a strong team may not be able to defeat a weak team immediately. There have been too many upsets in the history of the World Cup. In 1990, the defending champion Argentina was upset.

In 2002, defending champion France was upset.

This is also the charm of football. Of course Eriksen understands it, but having said that, he is still very confident in defeating the Chinese team.

"We just need to stick to the philosophy we have had since the qualifiers. I have nothing new to teach you. It is not easy to break through a dense defense. The opponent arranged five defenders and accumulated many people in the midfield. Such a game is difficult.

It’s like an attack.”

"But I think as long as we take the lead, the opponent will be discouraged, so this game is not difficult to win."

Everyone nodded. During the World Cup qualifiers, England also faced many weak teams. It was difficult at 0-0, but as long as they were ahead, everything would be simple, and the opponent's defense might collapse.

But let me remind you that anyone in the Chinese team can pass the ball, except Li Qiao. As long as Li Qiao has the ball, our defense must increase to another level.

Everyone nodded.

This has been experienced in actual games. Li Qiao's level is comparable to that of the England team.

"Uncle, I bought you black tea."

"Thanks."

Li Shan is very satisfied with the beautiful and sensible Lorinda.

"Uncle, can I make a request?"

"What request."

"I'm very curious if you can give me a photo of Li Qiao when he was a child."

"Haha, sure, I asked Li Qiao's mother to scan it for you."

"Thanks."

"By the way, uncle, why do you want to be a coach? I think it's very hard. You already have a very good career in China."

Li Shan paused. In fact, he is still hesitant about this. He said that he pursues his dreams without regrets, but in reality, everyone is afraid of difficulties. As long as he encounters difficulties, Li Shan will waver in his original choice.

Not wrong.

"Son, to be honest, it's not easy to persevere, but I actually have to thank Li Qiao for this, he gave me my dream."

"hehe."

"What I said is true."

…

"Maybe people can really burst out with huge potential in the face of dreams. I regret that I didn't play football when I was Li Qiao's age, otherwise I might have participated in the World Cup."

"You two are so similar. This may be why I like Li Qiao."

"Thank you very much for taking care of Li Qiao."

"I take care of Li Qiao?" Lorinda smiled, "Actually, he takes care of me most of the time."

"Go back to China when you have time and meet Li Qiao's grandma."

"Um."

In the CCTV studio, the two of them are doing the permutation and combination that Chinese fans are best at. To be honest, to be a Chinese fan, you must be good at mathematics, otherwise it will not work.

"If the Chinese team draws with England, then it will be two points in the first two games, and there is a possibility of a draw against Paraguay in the last round."

"The premise is that Sweden draws with Paraguay and England defeats Sweden in the third round."

"It's a little difficult."

"But if the Chinese team gets two points and then defeats Paraguay, then there is no need to look at other people's faces."

"Well, this is more difficult."

However, after analysis, everyone was surprised to find that the situation of the national football team qualifying is actually not bad, at least it is in a balanced situation with the other three teams.

There is no advantage, but fate is completely in their own hands. Of course, if Paraguay defeats the Chinese team in the third round, then nothing will happen to the Chinese team.

But theoretically speaking, Paraguay is the weaker team in Group B besides the Chinese team.

"Of course, the game is not over yet. We can also imagine what if we beat England. Jianxiang thinks the Chinese team has any substitution tricks in the second half."

"I think Gao Lin ran on the sidelines for half the game, and he will probably come on in the second half. In last year's World Championships, Gao Lin's performance was good, but for the adult national team, I think it is difficult to say that using Gao Lin is a double

Blade."

Duan Xuan nodded, "But I think Coach Zhu still wants to have a fulcrum in the penalty area, just like Li Weifeng did in the last game, but we can't regard this as a regular tactic."

"Haha, but I have to say that the only one in the Chinese team who can play center is Li Weifeng, and the rest are unreliable."

"Yes, the ability to fight and grab points in the penalty area cannot be developed overnight. I have to admire Datou's ability in this regard."

"Besides, Li Jinyu should still be given a chance."

"When it comes to counterattack, Dayu is a bit slow. It depends on how Director Zhu uses people."

The 15 minutes passed quickly and the players were already running out one after another. It was foreseeable that England would never accept a draw in the second half.
