Chapter 1253: .1253 vs. world class!

Sports City Stadium.
The Chinese and Belgian players enter the field holding their caddie.
Situ Yunbing had already greeted many Belgian players in the player channel.
The battle with Belgium was more than just a reunion with Martinez's old man. When the 31-year-old De Bruyne embraced Situ Yunbing with an implied expression of excitement, those glorious years in European football could not help but come to mind again.
The hustle and bustle on the scene is obviously heating up.
"CCTV, CCTV! Good evening, dear viewers, and welcome to the second round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Group C group match between the Chinese team and Belgium!
In the first round of the match, both China and Belgium won, and the two teams are currently tied for the top spot in this group with 3 points!
The performance of the Chinese team in the first round of the game is exciting. Although our opponent today is FIFA ranked No. 1 Belgium in the world, we have reason to believe that the Chinese team will not let Belgium win easily!
First let us look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
The Chinese team started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.
Defenders: Abu Duhemiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.
Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.
Forwards: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.
Our starting lineup has not changed from the previous game, this is our strongest lineup, there is no doubt about it.
Belgium is also doing its best today.
Goalkeeper; Courtois.
Defenders: Castagni, Boyata, Aldreveld, Cobat.
Midfielder: Tillimans, De Bruyne, Dendon Kerr.
Forwards: Solgan Hazard, Lukaku, Aiden Hazard.
Belgium also came up with their strongest lineup, of course, their bench is equally luxurious, Witsel, Origi, Bashuayi, Carrasco, Vertonghen and so on.
A more interesting phenomenon appeared in this game.
The Chinese team's Luo Cheng and Luo Xin are twin brothers fighting on the same field, while the Belgium side Solgane Hazard and Aiden Hazard are also brothers, but Aiden Hazard, who is more famous for Real Madrid Solgan Hazard, who plays for Dortmund, is two years older than Solgan Hazard. In order to understand it more conveniently, today we will use Hazard as the younger brother.
Both sides have a pair of biological brothers playing on the same field, such a scene is extremely rare in the history of world football!
And the interesting thing is that both of these brothers play wingers!
Next will be the kick-off ceremony before the game, let us wait for the start of the game together. "
When the national anthem was played, no one on the Chinese team shed tears. The tears of Guo Xuantu and He Haolai in the first game really moved many fans. Perhaps some people think it is an exaggeration, but if you can be immersed and placed in it To feel in the role of a participant, everything is taken for granted.
But the Chinese team is still solemn and solemn.
They sang loudly and seemed to want to spread the voice of China to the world!
After the ceremony before the kick-off was completed, Situ Yunbing looked at the Belgian lineup with emotion.
He is familiar with most of the players in the Belgian team.
For Lukaku on the front line, Hazard will not say anything about it. It is commonplace to play against the teams they have played in the Premier League before.
He brought De Bruyne in the midfield from Hamburg. Although Tillimans played for Leicester City, he was not in the position when Situ Yunbing left the Red Army. He was really unfamiliar, Dendon Kerr. It was also the eve of Situ Yunbing's departure from the Premier League that he landed in England.
Aldreveld in the back line and goalkeeper Courtois are also his old acquaintances, playing for Serie A upstart Atalanta’s Castagni, in the Bundesliga’s Boyata in Hertha Berlin, the only one in the Belgian team who did not The left-back Kobart played in the five major league clubs, but he is not too small, playing for the Belgian giants Anderlecht.
As for the little Azar on the front line, Situ Yunbing has not paid much attention to it in the past. Simply put, according to Situ Yunbing's position and vision in the Red Army, he can't even look down on Azar in the middle and late stages, not to mention the comprehensive strength. Little Zal can't compare to his brother.
But at that time Situ Yunbing was the Red Army with an unprecedented prosperous coaching lineup. Now he is coaching the Chinese team. In terms of overall strength, the Belgian lineup is definitely at least one grade higher than the Chinese team!
When the whistle at the beginning of the game passed, the Chinese team took the lead in kick-off.
With deafening cheers, Situ Yunbing and Martinez stood in the coach command area to supervise the battle.
The two looked solemn and serious.
After the opening of the game, Belgium did not launch an active counter-grab. The experience of the past two competitions has made Belgium more stable in the face of the game. It is not as easy to let the game get out of control as it used to be.
Faced with the powerful Belgium, the Chinese team chose to pass the ball in the backcourt first, striving for the team to enter the game faster.
The configuration of the two teams is still relatively similar. Belgium has stronger assists in the back line. The main reason for Atlanta's success in Serie A in recent years is that they are mainly offensive football!
Full-back Kastagni is naturally also very capable of assists. On the other side, Cobart is playing better than the giants Anderlecht. Not to mention the European war, the domestic arena is naturally also in the opponent's half all year round.
In the midfield, De Bruyne is naturally the core of the organization, Tillimans is like a transitioner, just like he did in Leicester City, Endidi is the core of the defensive, he assists at the same time for the offense. Assuming support tasks, Dendon Kerr is a defensive midfielder.
As for the striker Lukaku's rebirth from the Premier League transfer to Serie A, Hazard has performed exceptionally in Dortmund's strong speed impact system. As for Hazard, who has never been found in Real Madrid, he is a lean camel. Martha, no matter how bad it is, as long as the physical condition is okay, it is a role that opponents cannot ignore.
It is enough to see that Belgium's third line is stronger than the Chinese team's third line!
Compared with 31-year-old De Bruyne, Zhao Fenghua, the strongest midfielder of the Chinese team, may not even have an advantage in physical fitness. You must know that De Bruyne has worked hard in the Premier League all year round, and his physical fitness and endurance have been tempered. Better than in other leagues!
Not to mention organizational talent, De Bruyne is the ceiling that other offensive organizers in this era will look up to throughout their lives!
When De Bruyne retired, it can be said that the midfielder of an era retired!
The first wave of the Chinese team's offensive failed to create a threat. Zhao Fenghua passed the ball to the front and Wu Lei hit the left side in response to the lieutenant ball. Luo Cheng found that Castagni hadn't grabbed the ball in the cut. Instead, he turned to block his way forward. Then Tillimans rushed to fight Luo Cheng. At the same time, he blocked the line of his cross. This made Luo Cheng forced to break through. As a result, after taking the outside line, Cass Tagney rushed out to force him, forcing Luo Cheng to deliver the ball.
As a result, the ball was cut off by Boyata in the middle.
After the Belgian steal, the Chinese team's three strikers quickly returned to defense. Wu Lei rushed towards Tillimans for the first time. He could not rush to De Bruyne. That was Zhao Fenghua's target. Luo Cheng and Luo Xin withdrew quickly along the wing, trying to protect the backcourt as much as possible.
The offensive and defensive transition in Belgium was also very fast. Dendon Kerr passed the ball to De Bruyne's feet. Zhao Fenghua did not take the initiative to grab the ball. He looked at De Bruyne in the center line behind the center circle. Pushing forward, Zhao Fenghua quickly retreated. After retreating to the defensive key area, Zhao Fenghua was ready to make a frontal interception.
De Bruyne sent a slanted pass to find Hazard inside the wing.
Although Hazard is also 31 years old, his ball-handling skills have not declined at all. For technical players, age will not cause their skills to decline. They only decline in physical fitness, explosiveness, and speed.
The moment Hazard took the ball, he dialed the ball and then accelerated and passed Zhang Zhibang!
Zhang Zhibang did a bit fiercely in his first move. When he stopped and chased him again, he found that fortunately, Huang Bozhou was guarding the middle of the penalty area, so Hazard did not have room to shoot.
When Huang Bozhou robbed again, Zhang Zhibang took over for Huang Bozhou to guard the front middle of the restricted area.
Hazard saw the Chinese team's tight defense and crossed the ball to the right.
Hazard took the initiative to receive a crosscut stop and sent a pass.
The football hoisted to the right side of the penalty area.
Lukaku obliquely inserted Cheng Renjun into the air behind Cheng Renjun with a shook his head to attack the door!
Because the angle of his twisting was a bit big, it was difficult to exert force. As a result, the ball flew to the goal of the Chinese team lightly. Shen Jingjie took the ball in his arms after moving a step.
The Chinese team successfully withstood the first wave of offensive in Belgium.
Situ Yunbing gestured towards the team from the sidelines, the rhythm just now was wrong!
Become a counterattack against the Chinese team by Belgium!
The situation is actually very simple. It is harder for the Chinese team to penetrate the Belgian defense line in a positional battle, because it is impossible to throw a rat!
To make a difference in positional warfare, Zhao Fenghua's position must be pushed forward to the front of the opponent's restricted area.
But then the risk of the entire line of defense will increase a lot.
De Bruyne can make Belgium's offense to the forefront of the first time with a pass!
Coupled with the Hazard brothers' ability to advance from the side, the Chinese team does not have the capital to press the position and attack!
They want to ensure the safety of the line of defense at all times. This is the first rule!
When Martinez saw Situ Yunbing gesturing on the sidelines to make adjustments, his heart reflexively became a little heavy.
But he quickly laughed at himself again.
There was a time when he played against Situ Yunbing in the Premier League, the opponent's every move was paid attention to by the entire Premier League. Perhaps Everton he coached was frequently bloodbathed and slaughtered by Liverpool. It was really a psychological shadow that Situ Yunbing was hit back then!
In today's World Cup match, he doesn't need to be so nervous.
The most important thing is not to be affected by Situ Yunbing!
