Chapter 75 Against Honduras
In the player channel, Honduras and Chinese players lined up in two rows.
The Honduras players turned their heads to look at it from time to time, and their goal was naturally Yi Le.
As one of the world's top football stars, they are both nervous and excited about playing against Yi Le.
The excitement is because you can compete with the world's top stars on the same stage.
The anxiety is due to the fact that Yi Le is too famous, and this super midfielder in the five major leagues has brought great pressure to them.
Most of the Honduras players are from the domestic league, and the biggest player in the team is undoubtedly the central defender Saguire.
Saquire is currently playing for the Celtic club in the Soviet Super League. This club also has experience in participating in European competitions, but it is certainly not as fierce as Yi Le.
He is the champion of the last Champions League, while Saquere is playing soy sauce in the European war.
There is no comparison between these two.
Yi Le puts a lot of pressure on the Honduras players. Even the local media in Honduras are worried that if they can't pass Yi Le's barrier, they have no possibility of entering the World Cup.
Yi Le is like a mountain in front of the Honduran players.
It would be no surprise if this kind of player appeared in a European football powerhouse or Brazil or Argentina, but it is a Chinese player, and they have to compete with them for the World Cup qualification, which is a bit of a headache.
"concentrate!"
Saguire suddenly made a sound, which made the Honduran players who were looking around turn their heads and look ahead.
Saquére sighed secretly, he didn't know what the team members were thinking, but he had already come here, and there was no reason to give up lightly.
No matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet!
"Ready to enter!"
The staff made an announcement, and the players on both sides were shocked, after all, it was about to start.
…
The starting lineups of the two teams were played on the big screen at the scene.
Chinese team (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Yan Junling.
Defenders: Mei Fang, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linfan, Li Xuepeng.
Midfielders: Yi Le, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin.
Forwards: Exon, Wu Lei, Yu Dabao.
…
Honduras (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Escobo.
Defenders: Figueroa, Saquere, Berkeley, Alvarado.
Midfielders: Lopez, Mejia, Claros.
Forwards: Elis, Quiotto, Hernandez.
…
Explaining Taichung, seeing the lineups of both sides, Duan Xuan said: "Honduras' defense is very solid, especially Saguire, we need to pay special attention to this player if we want to score goals. In the midfield, we are naturally the advantage. Each has its own advantages, our forward penetration is better, and the opponent's body and speed are advantages."
"It's time to test Zhang Linfan and Li Xuepeng. Their defense on the side plays a vital role!"
Zhang Lu nodded and said: "But looking at the recent Chinese team games, we can clearly see that the combination of midfield and backcourt, on the defensive end, they will tightly hug each other into a small group of six, and Yi Le and Zheng Zhi will also participate , so it is unrealistic for Honduras to rely on speed to break through."
"It can't be said for sure. There is a chance, but the chance is not great!" Zhan Jun made a correction, and immediately said: "So, if we want to win, we still have to look at the scheduling of the midfield."
"That's right, Lippi's transformation of this Chinese team is to rely on the midfielder to play football. Everyone serves Yi Le and liberates him to the maximum. , This is what we see most often. Of course, this tactic also greatly consumes the energy of the midfielder. Fortunately, Yi Le has a good physical reserve. Although Zheng Zhi is old, his physical fitness is very good! "
"It is because of the existence of these two that our midfield can be so strong!"
"Okay, let's not talk much, let's enter the game, and the Chinese team will kick off first."
At the middle circle, Wu Lei stepped on the ball and waited for a while. When the referee blew his whistle, he immediately passed back.
After receiving the ball, Yi Le passed it back to Feng Xiaoting,
But he didn't rush forward, but let Hao Junmin press forward, and he stayed to control the right half.
The pace of the game was very slow, which can be seen from the formation of both sides.
Neither Lippi nor the Honduras coach thought about playing against each other.
Yi Le controlled the rhythm and poured the ball slowly, observed the opponent's position, and waited for opportunities.
But Honduras was very cautious, and did not move forward rashly, but cautiously tested.
"Honduras played very conservatively." Zhan Jun grinned.
Duan Xuan smiled and said, "No one dares to advance in front of a midfielder of Yi Le's level. If he loses his position, he will directly hit the back line with a through ball."
"Well, we have to prepare for a long battle."
Why fight for a long time?
The fans didn't get it at first, but after a while, they finally got it.
Thirty minutes passed, and both sides were almost dozed off by playing.
For a full 30 minutes, in addition to the three forwards, Honduras' three midfielders were stuck in the back line like pillars, and they just couldn't come out.
Such a delay made the Chinese team extremely depressed.
For a full 30 minutes, you can't move at all?
Let's play a match, this is also worthy of fans buying tickets, isn't it?
Honduras' attitude is decisive: I don't! Can't kill him!
The three commentators also talked for nearly 30 minutes, so there was really nothing to talk about.
Duan Xuan couldn't help complaining: "This is too cowardly!"
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu also had wry smiles on their faces.
…
At this time, the camera came to the coach's bench, and everyone saw Lippi standing on the sideline at some point, and frowning.
Lippi looked at the formation of Honduras and sighed secretly.
He understood.
Honduras is not rushing to win this game at all.
Keep the balance and win!
After all, they are playing at home in China, and their calculations are sound!
These guys want to put the decisive battle on the home court of Honduras.
But will Lippi agree?
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Lippi called Yi Le over.
"Get ready to attack! Leave the defense to Zheng Hehao. You are responsible for sorting out the offensive rhythm. For the remaining 10 minutes, play against them and put pressure on them."
Hearing this, Yi Le's eyes lit up.
He also played extremely depressed for these 30 minutes. Playing this kind of slow-paced football is not his style.
Therefore, after Lippi's tactical order, Yi Le stepped forward decisively into the opponent's half.
This is a signal to attack!
"Oh~~~~~"
Seeing Yi Le's position, Duan Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Yi Le finally couldn't bear it anymore. His position is at the front. Is the Chinese team ready to attack?"
Director Zhang Lu nodded and said, "Lippi must have said something to him. After all, it's our home game. We can't play so conservatively. We need to play as much as possible here so that we can welcome the away game!"
Yi Le entered the Honduras half, and immediately two players posted up.
Yi Le didn't have any feelings about this.
It's nothing to be defended by two people. He has tried to be defended by three people.
Yi Le took the initiative to run out to catch the ball, and the two goalkeepers followed him like a shadow.
Suddenly, Yi Le sped up, and the two Honduras players looked at each other and quickly followed.
Yi Le passed the ball in front of the ball, scaring the defensive player to take a step across to block it.
But Yi Le flicked his right foot lightly, and the ball passed through the crotch of the Honduran player.
Yi Le turned around and ran forward with another Honduran player.
Lopez tried his best to knock down Yi Le, but he found that Yi Le, who seemed thin, didn't move at all. Instead, he was squeezed by Yi Le and he was a little untenable.
Lopez was frightened: This guy has such a strong physical resistance?
Yi Le didn't care about Lopez's defense at all, and he rushed out like a calf, dispelling the defense of the two in an instant.
After getting rid of the two defensive players, what Yi Le faced was the opponent's defense hub.
Yi Le directly gave the ball to Yu Dabao.
Yu Dabao and Yi Le hit the wall to cooperate, and Yi Le rubbed against the ball again.
The ball flew directly past the defense and landed at the rear point on the right.
And there, Exxon rushed straight.
"Prevent him!" the goalkeeper Escowo shouted, posing to save him at any time.
Exxon took advantage of the arrival of the opponent's player and kicked it out.
The ball hit the goal like a cannonball.
However, due to the angle, the ball was kicked too straight, and the goalkeeper slapped it directly. The ball hit the ground, and when it rebounded, he was firmly held in his arms.
"Ouch!!! What a pity this ball!!!"
"Exon, the kick is too upright!!"
"Actually, I don't blame Exxon. The shooting angle is too small. He hit the goal from a small angle, and the goalkeeper didn't attack, but it was a good attempt!"
