Midfielder Ruler

Vol 4 Chapter 22: Naive blur

In the third round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Group C, the two matches went on for 20 minutes at the same time. In the match at Pantanal Stadium, Colombia led the Chinese team with a 1: 0 penalty from Hames Rodriguez.

In another game played at Castelao Stadium, the Greek team scored a goal from the bench and Samaris scored a goal, leading 1-0 to Côte d’ Ivoire.

In other words, the Chinese team and the Greek team are currently at the same point, and the Chinese team is ahead of Greece in the goal difference, so it is temporarily ranked second.

But there are seventy minutes in the game, and anything can happen.

The overall strength of Colombia is obviously stronger than that of China. It is very likely that another goal will be scored.

At present, the morale of the Greek team is greatly boosted. In the face of the severely hit Côte d’ Ivoire, it is also possible to score goals. That is to say, Colombia and Greece score goals again. The goal difference also becomes '-1'.

According to the rules related to the same points in the World Cup group matches, if the goal difference is the same, it is up to the two teams who compare to score more goals.

Of course, the Chinese team is still higher than Greece in this respect, but once the game time is left, the Greek team is not allowed to score again, and the Chinese team has always been used to falling off the chain at a critical time.

If the time really comes, those pessimistic fans will definitely say goodbye in four years.

In fact, many Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV have begun to think about this problem.

The advantages of starting two games at the same time are obvious, as are the disadvantages.

Especially in the two games, it is not conducive to the Chinese team's goal time is almost the same, it feels like God's arrangement.

Although the Chinese players on the field did not know that the Greece team at another venue had already led Côte d’ Ivoire, the backward Chinese team still consciously strengthened the offensive in the next game.

Behind the score, I was a little uneasy.

But Tang Zheng played very calmly, did not follow the pace of his teammates to speed up the passing speed, because he knew that the current overall strength of the Chinese team is not enough to play a smooth continuous cooperation.

Without solid basic skills, a quick pass is prone to mistakes, and it is even possible for Colombia to score the second goal in a short time.

Players such as Hames Rodriguez, Jackson, Martinez, Adrian Ramos and Guarin are all effective in the strength of the top-level clubs and should not be underestimated.

Standing on the sidelines, some worried Chinese coach Lippi took a breath and returned to the coach seat.

As long as Tang Zheng is not affected by the backwardness of the score, the Chinese team's offensive and defensive conversion will not cause much problems.

Unless, unexpectedly.

Feng Xiaoting's point delivery is inevitable. As a central defender, his body is not strong enough. He can only deal with this kind of ball by relying on prejudgment.

It's just that he didn't know that Ramos's feet stretched faster!

Hames Rodriguez scored his fourth goal of the World Cup, his confidence gradually increased, and the number of times he took the ball in the frontcourt gradually increased, Tang Zheng had to pay more attention On James Rodriguez.

Tang Zheng clearly felt that Hames Rodriguez had significantly improved in the past 2012-2013 season and 2013-2014 season, especially physical fitness, football awareness and scoring ability.

In order to completely suppress the offensive launched by Colombia in the middle, Tang Zheng had no time to participate in the attack, even the captain Zheng Zhi.

In other words, the Chinese team ’s offense can only rely on four offensive players in the frontcourt. It is not that Tang Zheng does not participate in the offense. It can only be said that Tang Zheng has a limited number of direct attacks. Transit station.

In addition, Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Linpeng are under great pressure on the wing defense, so that they dare not get too close.

This is the World Cup that attracts worldwide attention. A little carelessness may cause the national team to go out!

The defender has always been Blaster.

And they do n’t want to be a scalpel!

The backward Chinese team has never been able to threaten Ospina ’s goalkeeping. Central 5 commentator He Wei has some concerns: “The Chinese team ’s continued passive defense was thought before the game, but the offensive end could not bring to the Colombian defense. Direct threats, such continued defense against the Chinese team is not a good thing. "

"This is also something that can't be done." Xu Yang, a commentary guest, sighed: "Tang Zheng's attention is entirely on J Luo, and the offense is not too over-reliant. After all, we can still achieve the end of the game according to the current score. It's impossible for Tang Zheng to neglect his duty without qualifying for the qualification to advance. After all ... now he is a back waist instead of a front waist. "

The game continues, and the dominant Colombia still controls the rhythm of the game, and frequently makes killings.

The Chinese team can only rely on limited offense to test Colombian defensive players, but until half an hour did not create a threat to Ospina to guard the goal.

Immediately, the broadcaster gives a set of data.

The Chinese team's possession rate is only 36%, Colombia's possession rate is as high as 64%.

Shot comparison: 2VS9

Shot proportional: 0VS5

Thirty minutes into the game, Tang Zheng realized that it would be impossible to continue this situation, because continuous defense tends to cause the defensive players' attention to be inadequate, especially Zhang Linpeng, who is only in the back line of the side, plays in the European League.

Jiang Zhipeng, Li Xuepeng and Feng Xiaoting are all Super League defenders. Colombia's offensive combination may not be the top in the world, but at least it can be regarded as first-class, so the Super League must resist the world-class offensive line for the entire game.

The difficulty factor is not generally high.

Of course, Tang Zheng did not blindly choose to go forward to participate in the offensive, because he has a clear mind and knows that there is still time for the game.

If you attack aggressively prematurely, it is likely that the result will be that there was no goal in the front and the ball was dropped first.

In order to avoid this embarrassing situation, Tang Zheng has been deliberately controlling his own offensive rhythm. Unless there is a large gap between the forward line and the midfield line, the general situation is not too forward.

However, as long as there is a chance, Tang Zheng's decisiveness to participate in the offensive is extremely strong.

In the thirty-fourth minute, Tang Zheng saw a good opportunity to move forward and attack, and his sudden forward also caused panic on the Colombian back line.

Gualin, who was just behind, was not in position, and neither double defender Valdés nor Balanta stepped forward to block Tang Zheng, so Tang Zheng won the arc of the big penalty area when the Colombian defender played and retreated. Chance of shooting.

The football rose into the air with a violent roar and flew from Valdes to Baranta to the top right corner of the goal.

Hames Rodriguez, who has not always been defensively active, watched the football in the air with a thump. Like the Colombian fans in the stands, his heart hung in his throat and he turned his eyes. At the same time, he gave hope to his uncle Oss. Pina.

Goalkeeper Ospina is content and contented. Although his height is not high or even short in the goalkeeper, his speed of response, ability to save and fast movement of foot are his characteristics to make up for the lack of height.

However, despite this, Ospina still didn't touch the football when he was completely exhausted.

"Oh oh--"

At the same time as Colombian fans made a huge exclamation, they heard a clear bang! !

Suddenly ecstatic!

Yang Wei, the 5th commentator, looked at the football that bounced back to the front of the penalty area, holding his head in his hands, and felt very sorry: "It's a pity! Tang Zheng hit the left post of the goal from the far shot at the top of the arc in the big penalty area! score!!"

Central defender Valdés responded quickly. He rushed to push the football out of the bottom line before Gao Lin made another shot and cleared the ball when goalkeeper Ospina had not yet risen.

The commentary guest Xu Yang spread his hands helplessly: "In this World Cup, except for Zheng Zheng's scoring in the first game, Tang Zheng has been unlucky. The second round of the Chinese team's draw to Greece, in addition to being affected by the overall downturn, the biggest reason is that Tang Bad luck is the same for this game! If the football can spin a ball inwards, I think ... now we have equalized the score! "

"Colombia escaped!"

This is the common line of many commentators on the scene.

Andy Gray, the British Sky commentator, sighed: "Don't be lucky! If you remember correctly, this is his third goal post for the World Cup. It's a typical example of bad luck! If his luck is slightly better One thing, I think the current Chinese team has already qualified in advance. "

"Yeah, my old man." Commenter Martin Taylor shrugged his shoulders and said: "Perhaps the first goal of the World Cup on behalf of the Chinese team has exhausted his luck. But ..."

At this point, Martin Taylor's voice changed: "But I believe Tang, he is a person who is good at creating miracles! Come on !!!"

Looking at the old partner who was very persistent, Andy Gray shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As an old partner, he even knew Martin Taylor's character better than Martin Taylor's wife.

Stubborn, the nine cows can't pull back!

Hames Rodriguez has a very good view of his own goal and sees Tang Zheng's long-range shot.

When he saw that his uncle Ospina flew to the ground without touching the football heart, he hung his throat. Fortunately, the sound of the natural post made him refreshed and refreshed.

Although the overall strength of Colombia is stronger than the Chinese team, there is no guarantee that the Chinese team will not be upset!

Costa Rica, a recognized ‘fish-meat team’ in Group D of this World Cup, gave the world a good lesson. They defeated Uruguay and Italy successively and won the group qualifying early, and even won the group first.

If Tang Zheng can use a long shot to equalize the score, based on Hames Rodriguez's understanding of Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng will definitely double his confidence, by that time the overall momentum of the Chinese team will certainly gain a lot.

Then it is not entirely impossible for the Chinese team to be upset under the leadership of Tang Zheng!

At the same time, Colombian coach Pekerman made a tactical gesture towards Gualin while Hao Junmin jogged to the left corner area.

Lippi in front of the home team coach not far away looked in his eyes, but he didn't know the specific meaning of Pekerman's gesture, but he could probably guess, and the specific tactical content can only be revealed until the game is deeper.

Hao Junmin took a corner kick. Tang Zheng failed to exert his strength under the interference of Jackson Martinez and Valdes. The football was easily embraced by goalkeeper Ospina.

Colombia is not eager to fight back, but waits for the players from both sides to run a distance before throwing the football to the central defender Baranta, who will slowly pass the football forward.

Not long after, Lippi realized what adjustment Pekerman made.

In fact, it is very simple. In order to avoid Tang Zheng's livelihood, the scope of Gualin's forward penetration is restricted to a certain extent, from the original center midfielder to the current defensive midfielder.

Gualin does not show up in the current national team, but the important nature need not be said, can be well guarded, otherwise it will not be caught by such a big team as Inter Milan.

However, Gualin's ability is more reflected on the offensive end. If he is used as a pure defensive midfielder, it means that the general martial arts are abolished.

As a result, Colombia's frontcourt offense gradually became monotonous in the absence of Gualin's participation, and the Chinese team's defense began to become easier.

Defensive pressure is greatly reduced, and the offense slowly begins.

Lippi is confident in the coaching area of ​​the home team. He believes that it is very likely that the team will continue to tie the score!

However, at this moment, assistant Madaloni brought a very bad news!

Greece expanded the score, leading Côte d'Ivoire 2: 0!

In other words, the goal difference of the Chinese team is now ‘0’, while the Greek team has become ‘-1’.

There is a difference in goal difference between the two, but there are a few minutes left in the second and first half of the game.

The morale of the Greek team ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ is likely to work wonders!

Just like the 2004 European Championship in Portugal!

Fortunately, the players on the court do not yet know about the situation on the other court, otherwise it is difficult to overcome the psychological qualities of the current alienation in this batch.

But then again, several players of Guangzhou Evergrande Lippi are not worried. His biggest concern is left-back Jiang Zhipeng.

Jiang Zhipeng's ability is second to none in the Chinese Super League, but the psychological quality is somewhat incalculable.

More than this game, the first two scenes are nervous about the different situations in Côte d’ Ivoire and Greece.

Li Xuepeng can play in the left back position, but Ren Hang in the back position is really difficult to reassure.

Right-back Zhang Linpeng can certainly play central defender, but the result is an unbalanced right-side offense and defense.

Taking into account many factors, Lippi finally chose Jiang Zhipeng to play the left back, Li Xuepeng partner Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng as the right back.

Gualin consciously paid attention to Tang Zheng's activity area, and the offense certainly could not devote himself wholeheartedly.

The Chinese team has more defensive time than offensive time. Tang Zheng is worried about defensiveness, and his position has been relatively backward, so his contribution to the offensive is limited.

In addition to the lack of time left in the first half, the players of both sides pay more attention to defense under the reminder of their respective head coaches, so the penetration of the opponent's offense becomes more difficult.

There was no change in the score until the end of the first half. Colombia led the Chinese team with a 1: 0 lead to end the first half.

In another stadium, Greece leads Cote d'Ivoire 2-0.

It is equivalent to saying that the half-time end, the Greek team's total goal difference is only one less than the Chinese team.

There are forty-five minutes in the second half, and everything is possible.

The prospect of the Chinese team's qualifying has become very simple and confused.
