Fox in the Penalty Area

Every Russian player who walked into the locker room sat silently in his seat.

In fact, before Luo Kai scored, they didn't play badly, and they could threaten the Chinese team's goal.

But when that goal appeared, the morale of the Chinese team skyrocketed, and the Russian players inevitably panicked and were suppressed by the opponent on the scene.

It's almost 0:2 behind, if it wasn't for the opponent's No. 9 offside first...

To be honest, if the ball weren't for the video referee now, it might have been scored. After all, even the Russian players themselves did not realize that Luo Kai was in an offside position when Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball.

If there is no video referee, and the line referee can't see clearly, wouldn't the goal be scored?

Now the Chinese team is leading by two goals.

That was a fatal blow to Russia-even if it was a tie at the end, the match was not lost. For Russia, who wants to compete for the qualifying group, it means that they must die in Algeria in the last game. But the Chinese team is so hard to play, how can Algeria obediently submit? After all, the two teams drew 2:2 in their first game.

Russia is clearly the more powerful party, but it has fallen behind.

This feeling is terrible!

Head coach Masaninov walked in, closed the door, and scanned the audience.

Most players are not very emotional by this loss.

So he said: "To be honest, our defense made a small mistake in the first half, but it was not a big problem. We paid too much attention to Hu's threat and ignored the other Chinese players. I don't think this is an unforgivable one. That’s a mistake. So even in the second half, I won’t allow you to put down Hu and defend against others. Up to now, I firmly believe that Hu is the most threatening player in the Chinese team. Hu is still the highest priority in defense near the penalty area. The goal of the Chinese team is the other players of the Chinese team. So in the second half, we should focus on defending Hu and take care of other people. In the midfield defense, we should focus on limiting their number ten, that is their offensive engine! Freeze him! , It is tantamount to cutting off their offensive opportunities...In addition, our defensive formation must be kept intact at all times, and we cannot be torn apart by the opponent casually!

"We are just one goal behind, not two or three goals behind. As long as you don’t panic, the initiative in the second half will definitely fall into our hands. I am not saying this to comfort you. In fact, none of you Notice how much the Chinese team paid just to be able to play with us back and forth."

When Mashaninov said this, the players in the dressing room looked up and cast their gazes.

"The Chinese team's tactics are very simple. They use flexible running positions and faster passing and receiving to deal with us. This is really effective. But the running ability of the whole team is very demanding. They are like high-speed machines. , Every time the gear meshes must be exactly the same, otherwise it may malfunction. So you can see that they are often close between three or four people in the first half, passing and running. The same is true in defense, attacking. 'S players have to retreat quickly and return to the defensive zone...they played like this throughout the first half. Do you think they can keep playing like this?"

After everyone looked at each other, someone shook their heads: "No, their physical stamina won't be able to hold it..."

"Yes!" Mashaninov said. "Their physical fitness will be finished first! I don't believe that the Chinese team is a group of robots that can't run. They had physical problems early in their last match against Algeria. If it weren't for Hu's super-world wave goal, force it. It boosted the morale of the team. They might have collapsed long ago. Also, if it wasn't for physical fitness, they might really be able to beat Algeria in the last game."

Having said that, Mashaninov used magnetic chess pieces to place the positions of the Chinese team players on the tactical board, and then moved the chess pieces to tell everyone how the Chinese team played in the first half.

These are all things he observed in the first half, and then wrote them down and used them during the intermission adjustment.

Through this intuitive way, it is easier for players to understand how the Chinese team works.

"They are often close to the frontcourt players in the offense, which makes it easier for them to pass quickly and move to each other. In addition, the pass success rate at close range is also higher, and it is not easy to make mistakes... But this means that once they In the offense, all players involved in the offense must keep running and changing positions. This places high demands on their physical fitness.

"We can push the football to their backcourt with a very simple long pass, but their players have to withdraw from the front. Even Hu is no exception and must be involved in the defense. So we can continue in the second half. Use more long passes to hit them behind, we only need two or three people to mobilize most of their team, nothing is more cost-effective. Don't care about the success rate, it doesn't matter if they are defended, their physical fitness will eventually be here. Running up and down again and again is exhausted! Besides, if they want to fight with us, they need to put in more strength, which will further increase physical consumption. They will fall first before us! Don’t worry, don’t fall into them. No matter how they run or pass, we tighten our own fence. Finally, please remember that there is no weak team that can reach the World Cup. Algeria is not, and neither is the Chinese team!"

"Boys, you performed very well in the first half!" Shi Wuyin praised the team's performance, "After the second half starts, we have to grab the start and try to score another goal!"

After the first half, Shi Wuyin now has ambitions.

After all, we are all ahead of Russia by one goal. Why can't we take a fight and change bikes to motorcycles?

In case of another goal, the pressure on the Chinese team will not be so great.

Although Shi Wuyin praised his players verbally, he was always worried in his heart.

Because he knew where the fate of his tactic was.

That is physical fitness.

At the beginning, he decided to use this tactic to deal with Russia. It was also because of his performance against Algeria and the Chinese team that inspired him.

He found that the Chinese team's passing and running coordination is very tacit, and the overallity is very good-even better than shown in the training.

Although he doesn't quite understand why this is the case, he thinks maybe we can use the overall pass and run to deal with Russia.

It's like a thin but flexible boxer who wants to fight a strong but heavy boxer in the ring. Rush up and punch the opponent head-on, fearing that K.O will get the opponent hit by a punch.

But if we give full play to the advantages of speed, flexibility and agility, and go round and round to compete with each other, maybe there is still the possibility of winning by points...

The only problem is physical fitness.

Physical fitness is the basis of this set of tactical assumptions.

Without physical fitness, all designs are just on paper.

But is the physical fitness of the Chinese team good?

It may be okay in Asia, but in the World Cup... it's actually not enough. After all, it takes more physical energy to play in the World Cup than in Asia.

He knew it when he played against Algeria in the last game.

The Chinese team started the game really well. It was good because the players were not nervous, but excited.

Excitement also means that physical energy consumption is greatly accelerated.

So after the Chinese team lost the second goal, they suffered from physical insufficiency.

The reason behind it was that Hu Lai’s goal was so beautiful, which greatly boosted the morale of the team, and it was equivalent to giving the whole team a shot of blood. Everyone relied on the excitement brought by the adrenaline soaring, and it was finished. The whole game.

The same goes for the match against Russia.

Why Shi Wuyin wanted to start the game is not just to allow the Chinese team to have a two-goal lead as a buffer after the decline in physical fitness, so as not to be destroyed by the opponent.

Even if they lose a goal in the second half, the players will feel that they are still leading by one goal, and their mentality is completely different from being tied.

Of course, Shi Wuyin will make substitution adjustments in the second half to minimize the impact of physical decline.

But the overall trend is difficult to change. With the decline of the Chinese team's physical fitness, they can no longer stick to this tactic. By then, they must shrink the defense and play a positional battle with Russia.

That was the biggest test for the Chinese team.

Shi Wuyin knew the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic in his heart, but he had no choice. He could only stick to this tactic of "drinking poison to quench thirst".

At least relying on this set of tactics, the Chinese team not only stayed on the scene, but also led Russia by one goal.

So he didn't tell the team his worries, he just praised them all the time, and continued to beat the players to keep them in such a state of excitement to play and deal with Russia.

"The second half of the game has started and neither side has made substitutions. After a 15-minute intermission, let's see how the Chinese guys can bring us...Oh!"

Before He Feng finished speaking, he saw that after the kick-off Chinese team pushed the offensive to the frontcourt, Hu Lai made a high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area.

The ball is not fast and the angle is very difficult.

It completely bypassed the hand of Russian goalkeeper Alkin, but because of the pursuit of angle, he wiped the outside of the goal post and flew out of the bottom line...

"Hu Lai! What a pity! It seems that the Chinese team continued the strategy of the first half, aggressively attacking, rather than shrinking defense after leading by one goal!"

"Because Shi Zhi also knows that in the face of Russia, which is best at playing positional warfare, it is actually useless to shrink defense."

The Russian coach Masaninov on the sidelines saw this scene and did not get excited. Instead, he gestured to the Russian players on the field to be "patient" and "don't panic."

The Chinese players who did not score in this attack did not continue to stay in front, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's goalkeeper Alkin to set the ball and prepare to open the goal, they all returned to their own half.

This is exactly the same as their defensive strategy in the first half.

To deal with Russia, it will never consider what to do in the frontcourt.

Because Russia does not waste time in the backcourt at all, they always kick a big kick from the back to the frontcourt to find Ivan Romanov.

This is also true this time, goalkeeper Alkin kicked out the football, looking for Romanov.

This scene also appeared repeatedly in the first half, so that people can't help but wonder whether there is a special goalkeeper long-pass training in the Russian team. The only requirement and purpose of the training is to pass the football to Romanov. Don't care where he is.

Sure enough, this time Romanov ran to the side, and the football flew over.

Then Romanov used his physical advantage to jump up and head the ball.

Although Luo Kai came back here to defend, he was completely defeated in the battle with Romanov.

He couldn't even get close to football, and just as soon as he jumped up, he was crooked by Romanov.

It's just that, although Romanov won the first place, the ball he gave to his teammates was defeated by the Chinese midfielder Jiang Wanqing.

After competing with the opposing player, the football was rubbed aside and fell to Xia Xiaoyu's feet.

When Xia Xiaoyu received the ball, he turned around and blocked the Russian player who was on the top, and then quickly passed it back to Wang Guangwei.

As soon as he passed the football, he was knocked on the wrong side by the Russian players. As long as he handles the ball a little slower, the ball may be lost here.

However, today's Xia Xiaoyu is no longer the Xia Xiaoyu who was nervous when he first appeared on the field and even forgot his last name.

In the face of the fierce pressing of the Russian players, he performed calmly and calmly, and handled the ball in an orderly manner. This is due to the fact that he always sees the surrounding teammates and opponents' positions before catching the ball, and keeps them in mind.

As a young player brought to the World Cup by Shi Wuyin, he has grown rapidly in the game.

This fully proved the correctness of Shi Wuyin's remarks. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com

Young players still need to exercise themselves on this world's highest level stage in order to grow into big trees.

This Russian offensive ended so quickly.

The TV broadcast took time to give the two head coaches a close-up shot of each.

Leading Chinese team coach Shi Wuyin frowned slightly, his expression a little nervous.

The Russian coach Mashaninov had no expression on his face. He turned around and returned to the coaching bench when he saw that the attack was not completed. He unscrewed a bottle of water and poured half a bottle in one breath.

The score was still 1:0, and the Chinese team took the lead temporarily.
