Vol 6 Chapter 8: Not playing is also the core

He Ying's goal helped the Chinese team pull back a goal. Although the Chinese team was still behind in the score, their performance was not as helpless as before.
This goal gave the Chinese team more confidence.
When the game restarted, the Chinese team played more rules. They now have a very clear line of thinking. On the basis of solid defense, if there is a chance to counterattack, counterattack.
Because confidence has risen, the performance of the Chinese team is better than before, so in turn they have more opportunities.
Just two minutes after they scored, Yan Min passed the football to the penalty area. After Gao Lin received the ball in the penalty area, he passed it to He Ying. He Ying shot from a small angle on the right and the football was saved by Bravo.
"Bravo! He made a wonderful save and prevented the Chinese team from attacking!" the Chilean narrator shouted. "The Chinese team's offensive was very fierce during this time, which was a test for Bravo..."
In the 42nd minute, the Chinese team attacked again and hit the frontcourt. Yan Min rushed left and right on the sidewalk, disturbing Chile's defense line. In the end, Vidal could not bear it, kicking Yan Min to the ground.
"The action of Vidal... is obviously outrageous. Yan Min's flexible breakthrough makes the Chilean players' mentality a bit unbalanced... But this action should be awarded, but the referee Duée said nothing, this should not... …" Duan Xin was not very satisfied with the result of the penalty.
If Vidal can carry a yellow card in the first half, then as the main midfielder, it will definitely affect Vidal's performance in the second half and indirectly affect Chile's performance.
No yellow card was given and Vidal escaped.
"...The action just now gave Vidal a yellow card without any objection, the referee was merciful..." Zhang Lu also indirectly criticized the referee's punishment scale.
Although no yellow card was given, the Chinese team received a free kick on the frontcourt sideline.
Zheng Zhilai takes the free kick.
He sent a high ball and passed the football into the penalty area.
Although Guo Nu is not tall, his judgment on the placement of the football is very accurate. Coupled with his amazing explosiveness and bounce, he was stunned to let him grab the football in front of the tall people!
"Guo Nu—Lion shook his head!"
At such a short distance, the football went straight to the goal and goalkeeper Bravo was too late to save. He made a move, but it was obviously slow...
Just when the blow thought that the ball was going to enter the goal, the football hit the upper edge of the beam, and then popped the bottom line!
"Oh!" Duan Xin slaps regretfully on his thigh. "Beam! The beam blocked Guo Nu's header! Almost, almost, the Chinese team can even the score before the end of the first half!"
"Oh! The crossbar blocked the Chinese team's header! Guo Nu was only one meter seven or seven in height, but he was able to grab points among so many people in the penalty area! What are our people doing? During this time, China The team's offensive is too fierce, our players' performance after losing the ball is completely judged by the two teams... Fortunately, the beam saved our life! Now the first half is about to end, during the intermission Sang Baoli must make adjustments!" The Chilean TV commentator is fortunate.
Sang Baoli on the sidelines was indeed dissatisfied with the team's performance during this time. Seeing Guo Nu put the ball on the beam, he almost entered. He was violently thundering and yelling in his mouth.
Lippi felt sorry for Guo Nu's failure to score.
Guo Nu himself, too, saw that football hadn't even entered. He held his head in his hands and couldn't believe it. Even when I turned around and ran back, these hands didn't let go of my mind...
After running back to the penalty area, Sun Pan did not let him "sneer" at him: "It's shameful! Old Guo. With your ability, how could this goal not be scored?"
Guo Nu choked back: "You can do you, you...you go!"
Sun Pan was speechless-he really couldn't get on, and when he got there he was empty.
He didn't expect that he should be killed by a stuttering Guo Nu...
※※※
Guo Nu's header was the last threatening attack by both sides in the first half.
In the few minutes since then, neither side has organized a decent offensive.
The referee Douai from Côte d'Ivoire blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
"... At the end of the first half of the game, the Chinese team temporarily fell behind Chile by a score of 1:2, but after experiencing a game that conceded two goals in three minutes, the Chinese team was able to pull back one goal, which is very satisfying. , Especially before the end of the first half, Guo Nu was almost able to even the score for the Chinese team. The performance of the Chinese team in the second half of the first half let everyone see hope, I believe they will make a difference in the second half "Duan Xin said.
"The most important thing is that the mentality has stabilized. Before, I was too nervous and made some mistakes. In fact, we can see that the paper strength of the Chinese team is not weaker than that of the Chilean team. As long as the mentality is right and we play normally, we and Chile There is still a hard work," Zhang Lu added.
"Yes, I hope coach Lippi can come up with some plans during the halftime break. I hope our boys can maintain this state. I hope that the second half will bring us hope. Well, the explanation for the first half of the game will come Here, we will see you in the second half!"

In the locker room, Lippi praised the team's performance after falling behind by two goals in the first half.
"...The point is not to lose the ball, but what to do after losing the ball. You are doing pretty well in this respect," Lippi said with a lollipop in his mouth. Since FIFA banned the World Cup completely, people no longer see the classic picture of Lippi holding a big cigar in 2006.
"Guo Nu's header was good after the first half. Although he didn't enter, he sounded the alarm for Chile and made them realize that it was not safe to lead by only one goal. So if Chile invests more offensively in the second half, Then we have a chance to fight back. But what if they are so contented with the lead of a ball? It doesn’t matter, we have the ability to tear their defenses and send football into their goal. Because we have excellent assaulters. "
Speaking of which, Lippi pointed to Yan Min.
This is a compliment to Yan Min in the first half.
Yan Min's performance in the first half is indeed commendable. He didn't play much except when he conceded two goals in the beginning. Next, he was very active on offense. The Chinese team's threatening offensives all came from him.
After lacking the organizer Zhou Yi, Lippi made the Chinese team's offense simpler and more direct.
Although this level of technology is a bit lower, it is the most efficient alternative.
Since the Chinese team lacks a high-level organizer, and Zheng Zhi's level is not as good as Zhou Yi, why not simply give up the idea of ​​organization?
So Yan Min’s role in this tactic is very important. Because he can now be said to be the most capable of the Chinese team's assault ability, fast speed, good technology, flexible and agile, can pass and can also shoot, who else?
Yan Min was very pleased with Lippi's praise, and he straightened his chest as he sat in his seat.
"Remember, we are a whole. Everyone is very important, even for people who are not on the bench. If you want to fight as a whole, everyone in the team will fight against you." Lippi opened his arms as if to embrace everyone in the dressing room.
As a world-class famous coach who led the team to the World Cup, Lippi said that he was born with a kind of magic, so that people can easily believe him. This is the personal charm of the head coach and a manifestation of authority.
And he also knows how to use Zhou Yi, even if Zhou Yi can't play...
"There is still some time." He raised his hand and looked at his watch, then said to Zhou Yi, "Zhou Yi, would you say a few more words?"
He knew that Zhou Yi was a wise man, and he would not refuse him because of humility and shyness.
Sure enough, Zhou Yi was not surprised and did not quit, so he stood up from his seat and said to his teammates: "Thank you. I have no way to play, so I can only watch from the field. Can I play in the World Cup? It’s all up to you guys in the game. I know that the outside world has some comments on me, but I want to say that those comments are exaggerated. I know very well that I am a team player and I have to rely on the team-you."
He pointed at everyone.
"It's the same in the club, and it's the same in the national team. Without you, I'll do nothing alone. So I'm very happy, I'm especially happy, whether in the club or in the national team, I have a great team. You Everyone is amazing and great."
"After my injury was confirmed, some people said that I would miss at least two World Cup games, or even three games-then I will miss all World Cup games. This sentence means that we can’t enter the knockout stage, after finishing the group stage, I'm going to go home. But I don't agree with this statement. From the beginning, I believed that I would definitely play in the World Cup. After discussing with coach Lippi, I decided to participate in the World Cup with the team. The identity of the player, but one of the twenty-three. Because I believe you, my teammates, you are the best teammates in the world. As coach Lippi said, we are very strong, we are very strong, We are far stronger than everyone else thinks!"
Zhou Yi's remarks finally fell to the trust of the team, and the heavy tasks in the dressing room were boiling.
Zhou Yi is the leader among them, and is now the top player in the Chinese team. He trusts them so much, so that the players of these national teams have the kind of satisfaction and responsibility that the powerful people need.
Zhou Yi must not be disappointed!
Zhou Yi pointed to the number of his jersey and said to them: "I'm the 23rd, I'm the last number on the team, of course I have to be behind you. So you are a bit tired, help me open the way ."
"Don't say this too much!" Sun Pan yelled~EbookFREE.me~ Isn't that what we should do? "
"Yes, you are too polite, Zhou Yi, this is what we should do!
"We used to depend on you, Zhou Yi, that's how it started from the Asian Cup... This time it's our turn to help you once, we can't always let us take advantage of you, right?"
"Yeah yeah, this time you will rest assured, don't rush back. We promise not to let you down!"
"How can you come to Brazil in vain?"
Everyone echoed their positions.
Lippi saw the sight in the dressing room and turned to wink at his assistant.
The assistant smiled back at him.
"Even if you don't play, you can play a core role-on how to use Zhouyi correctly"
