There is a dream called football

During the halftime break, the Chinese team received news like a bolt from the blue: Li Weifeng was injured.

After Li Weifeng switched to center, he had a confrontation with his opponent. After jumping up and landing, he stumbled a bit, but the big head still persisted, but the pain became more and more painful during the halftime break.

If the amount of bleeding from this kind of sprain is relatively large, it will cause serious inflammation and edema. At this time, the team doctor has already given him ice compress.

Zhu Guanghu is in a dilemma, because Li Weifeng's role in the first half is self-evident, but the players' health is more important, and it is impossible to persist if injured, so a substitution may be necessary.

"Have a good rest, we will win the game."

Li Weifeng was in so much pain that he could no longer say polite words. He chuckled and said nothing. Only he knew his situation, and it was impossible to show off at this time.

When faced with the challenge, it would have been impossible for Director Zhu to casually use young people in this kind of game, but at this time it seemed that he had no choice. Zhu Guanghu could only call Gao Lin over, and then the assistant coach.

"Go and warm up, feed him the ball, warm up quickly, go on the field in the second half, and explain the tactics to him."

Gao Lin felt uneasy in his heart, but the situation at this time was very clear. He couldn't help it. There was a shortage of people in the team.

*****

At this time, CCTV did not know the situation yet. Huang Jianxiang and Duan Xuan were commenting on the situation of another game.

"England leads Sweden 1-0, which is good news for the Chinese team. It means that the Chinese team only needs to defeat Paraguay to create history."

"Actually, the biggest fear in the game between England and Sweden is that it ends in a draw. Then the Chinese team, Sweden, and England all have 5 points. In the end, it can only be a goal difference, which will be very troublesome."

"So the current situation is most beneficial to the Chinese team, and in the second half of the first half, after Li Weifeng played center, the Chinese team's offense improved."

At this moment, the two commentators on the scene noticed something strange, that is, Gao Lin came out to warm up. Originally, this was nothing. It is very normal for substitute players to warm up during halftime, but what was abnormal was that Gao Lin was next to him.

It was unusual to be accompanied by an assistant coach. It seemed like he was going to play in the second half.

"Gao Lin may have to play in the second half. It seems that the Chinese team has tasted the sweetness and is preparing to use a double center tactic in the second half."

"It is very likely that it will be Gao Lin and Li Weifeng as two centers. After all, the Chinese team must win."

But soon, when the Chinese team players came out, the two commentators were dumbfounded. They saw that Li Weifeng did not come out at all. At this time, the news came that the Chinese team had made a substitution, and Gao Lin replaced Li Weifeng.

"Dear viewers, we have received the latest news. Li Weifeng of the Chinese team is injured and Gao Lin comes on as a substitute."

The two commentators tried their best to express it as lightly as possible, but the audience in front of the TV was about to curse. Li Weifeng went down. How can he play the second half of the game? He is such a reliable center.

"Gao Lin's performance in last year's World Youth Championship was good, but in the national team, Gao Lin had very few opportunities. I think it is really difficult to put the pressure on young people at such an important time."

"But there is no way. If the Chinese team wants to maintain the high center tactics in the first half, then it can only use Gao Lin, who is the only center in the Chinese team."

"Well, we can only see the effect. I hope the young Chinese team can withstand it."

*****

In Cologne, Swedish coach Lagerback called Ibrahimovic, Larsson, Ljungberg and other superstars to his side during the halftime break. He relied on these stars in the second half.

"We need at least one point. Although I don't think the Chinese team can beat Paraguay, but just in case. Besides, our goal is to be first in the group, so we don't need to touch the German team in the knockout rounds."

Everyone nodded. To be honest, in terms of strength, the Swedish team is not much worse than England. There is a chance to give it a try, especially since Ibrahimovic is growing up very quickly. At this time, Sweden is considered the golden generation after the 1994 World Cup.

.

"Strengthen the attack in the middle in the second half."

Even though Ibrahimovic is a big center forward, his ability to smash away opponents with headers is not his characteristic. His characteristic is his organization in the middle.

Ibrahimovic is not a typical center, but a very technical player. Strangely enough, his real strength is his ball-making and passing.

The head coach also knows his beloved disciple very well. In the first game against the Chinese team, the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team was full of people, and there was nothing Ibrahimovic could do. This was a head-to-head match against Sweden, so he could give Ibrahimovic a try.

ability.

"The opponent's two central defenders turned slowly, so we had a chance."

"Don't worry, boss." Ibrahimovic smiled confidently, "Do you think we will be eliminated by the Chinese team? The only suspense in this group is who will be the first in the group."

*****

In the England dressing room, Eriksen also brought the situation to a showdown with everyone.

The situation is very clear. If the two teams tie, the situation will be very complicated, and even complicated to the point where you don’t know who will show up for a while.

When the points are exactly the same, FIFA's rules for calculating qualifying are relatively complicated, and may even be higher than the number of yellow cards in the end.

For example, in the 2018 World Cup, the Japanese team eliminated Senegal because they had two fewer yellow cards.

Obviously Eriksen doesn't want to make the situation so complicated. He hopes to defeat Sweden and get first place in the group without running into Germany.

"If we tie, we may even be eliminated. Don't tell me that the Chinese team will definitely lose. I don't think so. If we win, we will be firmly first in the group, so I don't need to say anything else. This should be what elementary school mathematics should do."

It makes sense."

The big guy nodded.

*****

The World Cup is so magical. While the Chinese team, Sweden, and England are anxious, the German team, which qualified first in Group A, is also waiting anxiously. Klinsmann’s goal is to win the championship, so his opponent in the quarter-finals is still

Very critical.

The whole of Germany does not want to meet England in the quarter-finals, but it is best to meet the Chinese team.

That would be the most ideal ending, so the Germans are supporting the Chinese team at this time, which is a soft persimmon.

Of course, it is acceptable to meet Sweden, but it will be much more difficult. At this time, the German team is also in the transition stage between the old and the new, and does not yet have that absolute strength, so it still wants to pick an opponent.

Under such a complicated situation, Gao Lin came on the field and the second half was about to begin. The Chinese team formed a circle in the midfield as usual.

The next 45 minutes will determine the fate of the four teams China, Sweden, England and Germany.
