Chapter 129 What's the Difference

June 3rd was the night of the first match of the top ten match of the Chinese team.

Outside the Tuodong Stadium in Kunming, there were already a lot of voices four hours before the game. An hour before the game, when CCTV's live broadcast signal cut into the scene, CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong, who was sitting in the commentary seat in front, spoke very excitedly.

"Fans and friends, according to my on-site visual inspection, the current attendance rate of the site has exceeded 90%, and fans from all over the country have covered the site with Chinese red! This is the beginning of the Chinese team's real sprint for the World Cup. The Chinese team led by Lippi The team is about to make its debut. Maybe everyone still has doubts and doubts, but looking at Lippi's 4-3-3 starting formation, the attitude of the Chinese team is self-evident. This is our home field, and the Chinese team It is to take the first step towards the World Cup with a high-profile attitude!"

When the on-site DJ introduced Lippi, the scene burst into enthusiastic cheers. Although there are still fans who are full of doubts about the combination of Lippi and the Chinese team, at this time, it still does not prevent the audience from using this method. Cheers to Godfather Silver Fox.

At least this is a brand new starting point. Although everyone has unconsciously raised their expectations for the national team, the pressure is not on the Chinese team's side at all. At least the various voices from the outside world have not been transmitted to the national team. The pressure, the first shot shows the players coming out of the player tunnel, everyone's facial expressions are not suppressed serious, but full of eagerness to try.

As for Zhou Tiancheng, he was even more calm, and when he came out, he turned his head and waved towards the stands.

The audience suddenly burst into cheers and responded enthusiastically to him.

Compared with the Chinese team, the fans are deliberately creating a tense atmosphere. What is really not easy is Qatar. The opponent has a 5-3-2 formation. This is definitely not one of Qatar's regular alternative formations. But they have no other choice. The head coach Mei Chu is very aware of the gap in strength with the Chinese team. It is considered lucky to score one point in the away game. In the Asian Cup, he dared to fight with the Chinese team on offense, but now he absolutely dare not have such an idea.

The Qatar team shrunk their formation at the beginning, leaving only two forwards, Sebastian and Mohamed Saeed, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

"The Chinese team needs to face the opponent's iron barrel formation today. Although this is a headache, we must learn to be a strong team. This is the first problem facing Lippi. It is indeed a test."

Liu Jianhong tactfully stated his true thoughts.

If Lippi is allowed to polish the defense, everyone believes that he has profound skills, but breaking iron barrels is not Lippi's specialty to be honest, and he almost suffered a disadvantage on this point.

The most representative is the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals. Italy, coached by Lippi, pursues defensive counterattacks. It just happened to meet Australia, which is also willing to defend to the end. The Italian who is an expert in putting iron buckets broke the iron bucket Inexperienced, he almost fell into his best field. If it weren't for the "great left back" Grosso, it is estimated that Lippi would not be a god after that World Cup. Especially in the last two scenes against Germany and France, Italy made the defense to the extreme.

This is everyone's traditional impression, which is why Liu Jianhong is very worried at the moment. If the Chinese team becomes Italy's "it's not easy for anyone to win,

It's not easy to win anyone" style, every game has to rely on mental attributes to determine the outcome, that's a bad thing.

Although the Chinese team is already very strong, everyone does not want to be forced to this point in every game.

The psychological shadow of the past is too thick for only the most optimistic optimists to completely ignore.

The Chinese team pressed the formation at the beginning of the game, which was not beyond everyone's expectations, and it should have the advantage on the court.

"The Chinese team opened with a strong momentum, which is a good sign. Breaking the goal as soon as possible to make the opponent's iron barrel formation meaningless is the only way. The space must be fully utilized. Jiang Hao's speed and Zhou Tiancheng's Long-range shooting, these are the two magic weapons of breaking the iron barrel formation."

Liu Jianhong made such a suggestion for the team. As long as a direct connection can be established between Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao, the problem will not be too big, that's how he sees it.

But the Chinese team did not play the simple and rough connection he expected. Instead, after forming an absolute suppression on the scene, they surrounded Qatar's penalty area to seek various short pass penetration.

Zhou Tiancheng knocked the ball back to Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi then passed it to Hao Junmin, Hao Junmin then tried to assist Sun Xiang, who was the left back. Dribble and give it back to Zhou Tiancheng. At this time, at least five Chinese players pressed to the edge of the penalty area. After a series of dazzling cooperation, Zhou Tiancheng passed the ball to Zheng Zhi, and then passed it to Hao Junmin on the wing...

All in all, it was a fierce pass. The fans were engrossed and forgot to cheer. Suddenly the ball rolled out of the dense crowd. Chen Pengfei got the ball near the small penalty area on the left and made an inverted triangle pass. The moment Jiang Hao caught up with the shot, Qatar's two central defenders and the goalkeeper fell to the ground in embarrassment to block it.

"Boom!"

There was a crisp sound, and the ball hit the crossbar hard. The sound was clearly heard on the scene, and everyone's heart jumped suddenly, followed by cheers.

Except for the finishing touch, the previous operation was perfect!

"Ah! It's a pity, the process is impeccable. Although it is very beautiful, it is too complicated. The effect may be better if it is simpler. This has never appeared in Gao Hongbo's tactics before. Obviously it can be played more concisely. But the players seemed to be deliberately chasing the pass, penetrating the ground."

Lippi's expression didn't change much, but he stood up from the coach's bench, and the continuous clapping of assistant coach Madaloni proved that the series of operations just now met the requirements of the coaching staff.

Fans are in a trance. The national football team changed to Barcelona style?

Qatar coach Mei Chu obviously did not expect the Chinese team to follow such a technical flow, but this did not prevent him from roaring angrily at the back line,

What are you doing, it's not Barcelona standing in front of you!

...

In front of the TV, Gao Hongbo, who had handed over the command of the team, was relaxed. Although he was a bit unwilling, he had his own investment in the team after all, so naturally he should pay more attention to this game.

He wanted to see the gap between himself and the world's famous coaches.

If there were really some changes that caught his eyes, maybe he also admitted that he was in a slightly better mood.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, he saw the new tactics of the national team. They didn't even pass the ball in the sky, and they all walked close to the ground.

"Barcelona style? Hehe..."

Gao Hongbo raised his head and took a sip of the wine. Only he knew what he was thinking.
