Midfielder Ruler

Vol 4 Chapter 44: To enter overtime ...

Fifty-five minutes into the game, the score still did not change. The close-up footage of the live guide was sent to the Dutch coach Van Gaal one after another. Obviously, he wanted to see the Dutch team take the lead in making substitution adjustments and changing tactics. , Solve the problems of the Dutch team attack.

No one expected that the Dutch team, which should have taken the lead in making substitution adjustments, remained unmoved, while the Chinese team, which should remain on the defensive, was unexpectedly prepared to make adjustments.

Wu Xi, wearing a No. 22 jersey, stood on the left of head coach Lippi in front of the coach of the visiting team, and assistant coach Madaloni added from time to time.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "From the position, Wu Xi is the most suitable captain for this game to replace the cumulative yellow card suspension Zheng Zhi, but Lippi guide believes that Cai Huikang can complete the defense better. The task, in fact, Cai Huikang did a very good job, but his offensive ability is basically negligible, so Tang Zheng with a balanced offensive and defensive ability had to distract the tandem organization of the midfield and the backcourt. After all, human energy is limited, especially in In this top-level contest, the opponent will not give Tang Zheng too much space ... "

"Wu Xi's defensive ability may not be as good as Cai Huikang's, but his offensive organization ability is stronger, which can effectively relieve the huge pressure on the Chinese team from the defense to the attack on Tang Zheng. It may be possible to change the defense from the defense when the defense remains stable. The quality and efficiency of the attack. "

Not long after, Robben sent a good pass on the left of the attack. Van Persie ran in the middle and high, but he did not control his strength under Feng Xiaoting's personal interference and pushed the ball out of the goal post. .

The referee, Marco Rodriguez, sounded the whistle in his mouth decisively, and then pointed his finger to the side of the court, beckoning the player to request a substitution.

The broadcast screen switched in the first time. Wu Xi stood next to the fourth official who held up the replacement electronic card. He jumped from time to time to feel his physical strength, preparing to play for the national team to contribute to the national team.

There is no accident. The player who was replaced was Cai Huikang who had completed the defensive mission of this game very well.

Many narrators do not understand this substitution adjustment. Cai Huikang's defensive tasks are very good, and there are even a few key interceptions. The Chinese team is currently 0-0 against the Dutch team. There is no reason to step up.

The difference between the strength of the two teams is huge, the Chinese team should maintain defensive rather than strengthen the offensive.

Seeing the substitutions made by the Chinese team, the Dutch coach Van Gaal felt a sense of confusion.

Replace a pure defensive midfielder with a stronger defensive midfielder to strengthen the offense?

Thinking of this, Van Gaal couldn't help turning his head to look at a silver-haired Lippi, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth-did he attack?

Who is afraid of who?

Spain, who tried to play a counterattack, suffered a 1: 5 defeat. The Chinese team, which is far inferior to Spain, wants to play a counterattack?

Wait for it to be eliminated!

The replaced Cai Huikang made no mistakes before he was replaced. Lippi replaced him only for tactical needs, so he actively embraced Cai Huikang and praised him.

Wu Xi, who was on the field, made a tactical gesture change to Tang Zheng, the captain of the field, before running to his position.

Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin tapped their nods respectively to express their understanding.

※※※

Wu Xi, who had just played, did not help the Chinese team on both ends of the offense and defense. Instead, he had exposed some problems with the original solid midfield defense system. Fortunately, Tang Zheng had a strong ability to read the game. During this time he was looking for the pace of the game Here he focuses his attention completely on the defensive end.

Sneijder, who is good at capturing the opponent's defensive loopholes, shook his head and smiled when Tang Zheng once again cleared the ball out of the sideline. It was only now that he really felt the horror of Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng's excellent performance also made head coach Lippi take a breath. According to the logic, Cai Huikang has no problem with his condition and physical fitness. Under normal circumstances, he should continue to stay on the field, and replacing Wu Xi who needs to play the game needs time to adapt to the pace of the game , Is accompanied by certain risks.

If Tang Zheng was not very focused on the game, the Dutch team may have used Wu Xi's slower pace to find his own defensive loopholes.

With the passage of time, Wu Xi slowly found the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game, and the defensive problems exposed by the Chinese team's defensive system were gradually solved.

The helpless Van Gaal had to return to the coach's seat, and then pulled assistant Blind as if to discuss something.

Starting from the course of the game, it is not difficult to guess that Van Gaal began to be dissatisfied with the players on the court.

In Van Gaal's view, only Tang Zheng can pose a threat to his own defense of the entire Chinese team. In addition, from the beginning to the present, the situation is basically controlled by the own side, and the offensive is higher than the wave.

However, the Chinese team's defense was solid and did not reveal any problems.

It was difficult to wait until the defense line caused by the Chinese team substitution was unstable, but Tang Zheng's timely replacement and pre-judgment were amazing and frustrating.

Robben has rich experience, outstanding ability, and certainly cannot be adjusted. Sneijder is the core of the midfield, and there is no suitable substitute for the bench. The captain Van Persie is still in good shape. There is no problem with his physical fitness.

It seems that Depe, who is very depressed in this game, can be considered adjusted.

But when to make adjustments is a subject, so Van Gaal did not consider adjustments in the first place, but waited for the timing.

The game continued, and the defensive midfielder of Tang Zheng and Wu Xi gradually got a tacit understanding, and the overall defense became impenetrable.

The Dutch team attacked, the football came to Robben's feet on the right again, Li Xuepeng was in front of him, Lu Liang's assistant was taken away by Kuyt, who was in the running position, Robben realized that he had an inside opportunity .

I did n’t have time to observe Tang Zheng ’s position. There was an obvious sway to the left in the upper body. Li Xuepeng was tricked to take a step to the right. Robben ’s feet moved very quickly. The inside of the left foot slammed the ball towards the bottom line. .

Li Xuepeng stayed there for a while, but Robben was extremely explosive and very fast. It was too late for Li Xuepeng to start chasing Robben again.

"Oh oh--"

Chinese fans at Xinshuiyuan Stadium watched the subconsciously blurt out, and a huge deafening exclamation immediately swept the audience.

The Dutch fans at the far end of the stadium jumped up in situ, shouting the town arm and shouting for Robben's masterpiece: "Aoao Aoao--"

The Dutch fan who had just jumped up sat down again after a second, because Robben at full speed encountered a very timely interception, he had to jump in place to avoid in the high-speed running.

The Yang 5 narrator stared closely at Tang Zheng who was given the broadcast, and said with a lingering fear: "The fact that Tang Zheng appeared is too timely. The sudden acceleration of Robben is quite terrifying. Once Robben cuts into the restricted area, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The speech was just dropped, and the commentary guest Xu Yang added excitedly: "Tang Zheng was clean in the case of timely replacement and did not even foul. He only gave the Dutch team an insignificant sideline."

※※※

Tang Zheng dropped the shovel and kicked the ball out of the sideline. Left-back Li Xuepeng ran to Tang Zheng very gratefully. Tang Zheng, who was very focused on the game, clapped his hands first and said loudly towards Li Xuepeng: "Keep the game focused" Pay attention, do n’t eat, do n’t easily predict in advance. "

Li Xuepeng's performance in this game can be said to be very good. Occasionally, Robben's forcible breakthrough often has teammates behind him. The defense has no problems. As the game time is getting shorter, Li Xuepeng is keenly aware that the game should be ranked. In the first place, thanks can be left after the game.

Besides ... A football match is a team sport, and its own shortcomings should be made up by other teammates.

In the blink of an eye, the second half of the game came to 20 minutes, the Dutch team finally made the first substitution adjustment, the same speed and breakthrough Lens replaced the unsuccessful starter left winger Depei.

Compared with Depei, whose overall ability is more comprehensive, Lens ’s breakthrough ability is obviously stronger, which can create more opportunities for his teammates. Moreover, Lens ’s left foot is his left foot, and he can often swap positions with Robben, testing both sides of the Chinese team. Lu's defensive attention.

Luns is known for his breakthrough, and his physical fitness is also quite good. At the beginning, it did pose a threat to the Chinese team's back line, but the Chinese team's defensive players have a strong sense of supplementary defense.

So that the British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was surprised to say: "Marcelo Lippi's transformation of the Chinese team was very successful. The defense of the Chinese team in this game let me see the Italian national team's peak period. Chain defense, link by link, close connection. "

Commentary guest Martin Taylor nodded: "It is true that the Chinese team's multiple defenses in this game really let us see the chain defense of the Italian national team. It is very successful, whether it is Alger Robben or Robin Van Persie. , They failed to find a chance in the Chinese team's chain defense. The appearance of Jereman Lens's bench brought a new offensive concept to the Dutch offense, but the Chinese team's defensive players are quite focused, Tang You The situation is excellent. If the Dutch team's offense is not improved, I think the score of 0: 0 is likely to be maintained until the end of the game and then enter overtime? "

"Yes!" Andy Grey's cooperation with the old partner Martin Taylor, nodded: "The Chinese team is on the defensive for most of the game, and the long defensive also brings them great confidence, because The strength of the Chinese team is far inferior to that of the Netherlands. Comprehensive defense is the psychological preparation that Chinese players have had before the game! "

Sky TV fans sitting in front of the TV are more depressed. Most of the fans watching the live broadcast are neutral. They prefer to see wonderful match-ups. Now the Chinese team is fully defended and the Dutch team conducts half-court offense and defense.

Of course, Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV are also very depressed. Before the game, they thought that they would be beaten passively for most of the time, but people always can't avoid the lucky chance. Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV always want to see themselves. The supporting national team can seize the opportunity of a quick counterattack and kill the powerful Dutch team.

However, the Dutch team firmly controls the pace of the game, and the wave of fierce offensive attacks on the Chinese team does not have time to take care of it. Therefore, Chinese fans are always frightened, worried that the Dutch attack will break Yan Junling's goal.

"Wonderful save! Yan Junling rejected a long shot from the front of the penalty area by Sneijder!"

"Ao ~ Tang Zheng's key fell to the ground and shovel! Robben forced to break through to take off early and give up control of the football !!!"

"Feng Xiaoting gave Van Persie tremendous pressure in the process of retreating. His header was weak and the football was easily captured by Yan Junling!"

...

Yang 5's commentator He Wei and commentary guest Xu Yang kept on explaining the progress of the game. The moody commentary made the Chinese fans in front of the TV very hesitant.

The Dutch team did not score for a long time, and the close-up shot of the live guide took care of the Dutch national team coach Van Gaal again.

Obviously, he wanted to see the Dutch team make another substitution adjustment to bring new offensive blood to the offensive end.

In the deadlock of the game, the close-up footage of the live guide was also given to the Chinese team coach Lippi.

However, whether it is Van Gaal or Lippi, there is no plan to adjust the team's game lineup, in order to change constantly.

With Wu Xi coming off the bench, the offensive and defensive transition is smoother than when Cai Huikang was on the court, but the long-term passive defense puts great pressure on Lu Liang and Wu Sanshi, and the determination to invest in the offense is not enough.

Wu Xi is strong in defense and weak in defense, and Tang Zheng needs to share a little more work on the defensive end ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ So Lippi's adjustment seems to solve the problem of the Chinese team that relies on Tang Zheng's tandem organization from defense to offense. The problem is still very big.

However, as the game time decreased, Lippi became more and more cautious, because Wu Xi's previous replacement of Cai Huikang caused some defensive problems.

Lessons from the past must be used as a warning.

With the passage of time in one second and one minute, the Dutch team consciously stepped up their offensive, and the offensive wave was higher than the wave. Then, in conjunction with the enthusiastic game atmosphere distributed over the new water source stadium, it gave people the illusion that they could break the door at any time.

Chinese fans in the stands are very worried, worrying that the national team they support will make mistakes at the end of the game and form a goal.

In fact, the defensive attention of Chinese players is very concentrated, not leaving much offensive space for the Dutch team.

The game time came to eighty minutes. The Dutch coach counterattacked thoroughly. He ran to the edge of the wisdom zone from time to time and made a positive attack gesture towards the players on the court. It is not difficult to see that Van Gaal worried about the game entering overtime.

Once in overtime, it becomes more difficult to beat the Chinese team.

If the game enters overtime, the decision to advance to the semifinals will most likely be determined by a brutal penalty shootout.

I don't know if the game is dedicated to fighting against Van Gaal. The Dutch team that attacked at 90 minutes in regular time did not score a goal, and the Chinese team also did not score.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at the injury stoppage time given on the broadcast screen, and his tone was extremely serious: "Both sides just made a substitution adjustment in the second half. The injury stoppage time is normal for three minutes. End, then enter overtime? "

"According to the focused attitude of the two sides, it is very possible!"

The commentary guest Xu Yang solemnly said.
