Vol 2 Chapter 222: Anxious match (on)

As time gets closer to the game, the atmosphere in the national team becomes more and more dignified, even if according to Wang Ai, the delegation has tried its best to relax the atmosphere, but the inertia has not changed so much for a long time. With fewer and fewer smiles, even Wang Ai felt a little breathless.
Although Wang Ai tried his best to adjust the atmosphere, nothing to tell a joke or something, but the effect is very general, because the premise of joking is that others have a good intention to laugh. Therefore, at this stage, Wang Ai had no other choice. Even the family condolence group came to the temporary visiting group before June 3 and did not allow the internationals to truly relax.
In the worry of Wang Ai, the time came to June 4th, China's first match in the World Cup is coming.
At 14:30 in the afternoon, the Chinese national team rushed from the Xinyang Park Hotel to the Gwangju Stadium. Although the international players were laughing and laughing, in Wang Ai's view, most of the dialogues were prefaces without words, obviously the brain and mouth were not there. On a channel, this is comforting each other in the midst of trembling warfare. The tension is hidden deep inside. Wang Ai and Sun Yi were sitting in the last row of the bus, glaring at the true emotions of the international players. Speaking of which, the Football Association is really good to Wang Ai. The other internationals are more well-known and worth more than Wang Ai, but only Wang Ai came to defend it. The Football Association not only did not stop, but also inserted Sun Yi into the representative. Regiment is one of the "staff" who is not qualified to name.
At 15 pm, the Chinese national team made final preparations in the locker room of the Gwangju Stadium. Milu focused on asking the national team to open the sidewalk, and the team doctors carried out a final check on the physical condition of the national team's main force. The leaders of Nanyong, Zhu Heyuan and other football associations did not deliver impassioned speeches. Instead, they pulled the nationals to say as easily as possible. The atmosphere in the locker room was not bad for a while, at least not as if they had always instigated everyone as if they were carrying explosive bags .
After 10 minutes, the Chinese team and Costa Rica entered the game. The two sides played the national anthem, guessed the side, warmed up, at 15:30, the match officially began in the commentators, cameras and hundreds of millions of Chinese fans around the world.
Wang Ai, wearing a yellow vest, sat among the internationals and carefully watched the situation. Although CCTV cameras occasionally swept the bench, no one noticed them. Although this game is the first battle, it is almost equivalent to a life-and-death battle for the Chinese national team. The two opponents, Brazil and Turkey, are too strong. If they cannot win Costa Rica, they basically declare that the Chinese team does not have any hope that the group will qualify.
On the coach's bench, Milu was wearing an orange shirt, and looked slightly nervously at the direction of the game.
Five minutes later, Wang Elliot was slightly relieved. The cooperation of the Chinese team is extremely skilled, and many training sessions over the past two years have indeed forged a team from various clubs across the country into a whole, with few errors in cooperation. At the same time, the status of the internationals is also very exciting, and the offense and defense rhythm is also fast. From the minutes of the start of the match, it can be seen that the Chinese national team has indeed achieved the "overall football" co-respected by the Football Association and the insiders. No matter how good the technology is, few international players choose to dribble, and they quickly push the offensive through organizational cooperation.
The Costa Rica team's cooperation is worse than the Chinese team, but personal skills seem to be stronger, especially in terms of personal consciousness, dare to do action, but also do well. At the same time, the defensive players' movements are large and the defense is fierce.
In the first fifteen minutes, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides were very fast. Just like the Chinese team used Costa Rica as a fish bream and the hope of the group to qualify, Costa Rica also looked at the Chinese team in the same way. So both sides are well prepared and targeted. Due to the better personal skills of the Costa Rican players, the Chinese team carried the overall football to the end. And because of the Chinese team's overall play, the Costa Rica team has firmly defended the fierce backcourt. The frontcourt used a personal dribble to attract the Chinese team to defend and create a breakthrough opportunity.
In short, the first fifteen minutes of the game was very anxious, neither side had any good offensive opportunities, not even a regular shot, repeatedly destroying each other in the midfield. Relatively speaking, the Chinese team's performance seems to be better, the ball control time is longer, at least the organization and cooperation looks very beautiful, even there is no way to really threaten the opponent's goal. Whenever the football passes to the midfield, especially the front of the penalty area, it is either destroyed or lacks opportunities, or it can be said that no opportunities have been created.
At this time, Sun Jihai, who had just transferred to the English First League club Manchester City among the internationals, couldn't sit still. He began to frequently attack on the right side of the Chinese team. The 25-year-old Sun Jihai is a period of peaks in physical strength, technology and consciousness. Compared with other international players, his experience of studying abroad has made him bolder, and he has the daring to make a breakthrough. Threat point of attack.
Just when people were eagerly awaiting the appearance of this humble guy to create a chance to break the door, in the 17th minute of the game, he was knocked down by opposing player Solis from behind and a running Sun Jihai fell heavily on the lawn. Before he got up, the lineman made a foul gesture. The referee on duty Vasalas quickly showed Solis the first yellow card in the game.
Sun Jihai's face twitched and kept inhaling. The Chinese team doctor rushed to the side and carried him to the side. After a busy day, Sun Jihai said that he was OK, but Wang Ai's heart raised because the accident was serious. Affecting the status of Sun Jihai, the kind of attacks that frequently created threats from the right side never happened again. A few minutes later, Solis, who had a yellow card, moved to the left side of the Chinese team. When No. 4 Wu Chengying tried to pass the ball back to the opponent's side, he quickly caught up behind him. While the football was still in the air, his chest At the top, he broke through Wu Chengying, formed a single pole, and directly impacted the Chinese team's goal.
Fortunately, the goal was still far away, and goalkeeper Jiang Jin was able to adjust his position. At the same time, Fan Zhiyi found that he quickly chased after him, forcing Solis to have no chance to adjust and had to rush the goal and was blocked by Jiang Jin.
Wang Ai breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair.
Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, Sun Jihai suddenly signaled, could not stand it! Wang Ai immediately sat up straight again.
Looking at the game for more than 20 minutes, Wang Ai found that the biggest problem of this national team was too much emphasis on the whole. The opponent's play is that the players stand firmly. In this way, each member of the Chinese team will face the fierce defense of the opponent's player, and there is basically no chance of leaking people. In this case, if the Chinese team members dare to single out, Dare to dribble and break through, it will cause confusion in the other party. However, after the Chinese team put too much emphasis on "overall football", even if there is a chance of breakthrough, they do not break through, but pass the ball, while other players also face a defensive player and do not break through. After a few passes of invalid football, the opponent's defense line could not be torn apart. In the end, he could only bear the blind pass and played hard.
The other party does not lose position, you dare not make a personal breakthrough, how to pass and cooperate with the other party to block you.
