583 Utilitarian anti-reaction
"CCTV, CCTV, welcome to the Frankfurt World Cup Stadium. I am Huang Jianxiang, live broadcast commentator. Today, I will bring you the second round of the World Cup group stage group d match between the Chinese team and the Portuguese team.¥f,
The team ranked first in Group D is Mexico, the second is Portugal, the third is Angola, and the fourth is China.
If Portugal can defeat the Chinese team in this game, then Portugal will qualify in advance.
After the Chinese team lost to Mexico in the first game, their fate was almost out of control.
Unless the Chinese team can defeat Portugal today, they will have hope of defeating Angola in the last round and qualifying for the group.
But this task is really too difficult.
Nearly impossible to accomplish.
The performance of the Chinese team in the last game made us see the all-round gap between us and our opponents in the World Cup.
Perhaps our expectations for Qin Xiong are too high, which has led to some media being too harsh in demanding that Qin Xiong be the savior.
This makes no sense.
To be honest, putting any player you think in the world as the strongest player you think will replace Qin Xiong will not allow the Chinese team to experience a qualitative change in overall strength.
Football is a team sport that depends on the unity and cooperation of 11 players on the field to win the game.
I think Qin Xiong's performance in the last game was already very good. He had been restraining 3 to 4 defensive players in Mexico for a long time, which is a rare scene in this World Cup. The Mexican team attaches importance to Qin Xiong's existence and puts it into action to limit Qin Xiong. This is the success of the Mexican team's last defense.
I think even if Bailey Maradona is placed in the Chinese team to replace Qin Xiong, it may not be better than Qin Xiong.
Today our opponent Portugal is very strong.
They have a group of stars who play in the top European leagues and giants. We hope that the Chinese team can cherish the opportunities in the World Cup, and there are really not many opportunities to fight against European strong teams.
The Chinese team made some changes today, and Alihan still used the 451 formation, but we still need to observe how the specific technical and tactical system works during the game.
Goalkeeper: Liu Yunfei.
Defenders: Sun Jihai, Xu Yunlong, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang.
Midfielder: Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Qin Xiong, Liu Yi, Shao Jiayi.
Forward: Zhang Pengfei.
We saw Alihan let Xu Yunlong serve as central defender, Zheng Zhi pushed into the midfield defensive position, and at the same time removed forward Li Jinyu. Zhang Pengfei should be used as single forward. What is the purpose of such a change? We can only wait and see.
Portugal 41.
Goalkeeper: Ricardo.
Defenders: Miguel, Mela Carvalho, Valente.
Midfielder: Figo Maniche, Deco, Costinia, Ronaldo.
Forward: Pauletta.
Okay, the game begins soon, and the Portuguese team will take the lead in kicking off, so that we can continue to cheer for the Chinese team and be able to stand on the World Cup are a kind of glory in itself!”
The game began. The Portuguese team controlled the scene in a tepid posture at the beginning. They passed the football smoothly in the midfield and patiently searched for the gaps in the Chinese team's defense.
Qin Xiong did not actively participate in the defense, but wandered around the midfield, and he was more like a shadow striker.
The teammates behind him actively retreated, compressing the space in the dangerous area of the goal line.
Compared to the adjustment made in the last game, Zheng Zhi joined the midfield defense.
The Chinese team actually showed off a three-middle midfielder.
With four defenders, the Chinese team had seven players who were absolutely involved in the defense, and then Shao Jiayi was in a balanced state and abandoned the offense from the sidelines.
Qin Xiong will appropriately participate in the midfield counterattack, but will not be too involved. He and Zhang Pengfei patiently waited for the opportunity to send a backcourt to fight the opponent's counterattack.
The Portuguese team can also steadily push the offense to the front midfielder, but it is difficult to make a smooth ground pass near the Chinese team's penalty area.
In the 6th minute of the game, Ronaldo cut across from the left and broke through Zhao Junzhe and suddenly changed direction and rushed to the penalty area next to Zheng Zhi. Before Liu Yi filled in, Ronaldo directly chose to shoot a long shot, and the football slipped out.
A burst of exclamation came from the stands.
With Ronaldo's technical ability at feet, it is not a problem for him to break through two Chinese players in a row, but it is a bit difficult for him to make more dribbling changes in dense defense areas. He is a speed burst style and has a skillful change of direction. However, it is also difficult for him to stick the ball to his feet without space to change directions continuously.
The Portuguese team found that the Chinese team had just set up an iron barrel formation. The Chinese team's wing defense did not pay attention to the protection of the outside line. The Portuguese team sent crosses from the bottom continuously. However, Pauletta was difficult for Pauletta to make a difference in the penalty area under the double-team of Li Weifeng and Xu Yunlong, and the harassment of goalkeeper Liu Yunfei's decisive attack.
In the 15th minute of the game, the Chinese team finally got a good counterattack opportunity.
Zhao Junzhe received the pass from Zheng Zhi and sent the ball directly to Qin Xiong in the midfield.
Qin Xiong protected the ball and turned to face the midfield defense of Maniche and Costinia, and instantly dreamed of returning to the trance of the match against Porto two years ago.
In front of the two, Qin Xiong directly picked the ball and passed the ball from the space between them to the front.
Maniche and Costinia suddenly looked back and saw Zhang Pengfei responding with his back. He didn't think about turning around at all, but instead turned the ball back directly and passed it to Qin Xiong with the same trajectory.
When Maniche and Costinia turned around again, Qin Xiong made a tough strode and kicked the ball through the middle of the two, and at the same time burst out with an unrivalled speed and broke through the two of them's defense.
Maniche and Costinia were very unwilling to accept it.
It's like being tricked!
The mutual transmission between Qin Xiong and Zhang Pengfei interferes with the two of their defensive attention, and also illustrates the Chinese team's offensive routine.
Zhang Pengfei is a fulcrum, and he is also creating opportunities for Qin Xiong!
When Qin Xiong broke through Portugal's midfielder, Portugal's back line was also being adjusted.
Parallel stances are definitely not possible.
Miguel and Mela defended Zhang Pengfei, Carvalho was in charge of Qin Xiong's attacking area, and Valent rushed directly from the full-back position to intercept Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong knew that the more he moved forward, the smaller the space would be.
When Valente rushed over, his dribbling rhythm paused, and then when Valente also stopped urgently, he suddenly pushed the ball diagonally. He had seen the goal on the penalty area line, and Carvalho did not dare to rob it rashly, for fear that Qin Xiong would break through.
He stuck Qin Xiong's area toward the middle. If Qin Xiong hesitated, Costina and Manicher behind him, and Valente behind him would be harassed and intercepted him.
Qin Xiong shot decisively. Although he saw the goal, the angle was not good. He could only hit the near corner and aimed at the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal. The football that was rushing away flew into the stands against the outside of the post.
There was also a burst of amazement at the scene.
Chapter completed!
