Vol 6 Chapter 10: The strength of the Chinese team

The next day, Mexico and Brazil played a game. Before the game, many people expected that Brazil would make the opening, but Mexico played very well in the game. After 9o minutes, they drew Brazil 1-1. 』小 ┡ 说 ┡』
After the game, the media lamented, "e formed the most suspicious group in the World Cup."
Both teams Brazil and the Netherlands did not win. Brazil scored a point, the Netherlands directly lost the game, the Chinese team ranked first in the group with three points, Brazil and Mexico tied for second, and the Netherlands finished bottom with zero points.
The form is very good for the Chinese team.
But Wansheng reminded all players, "Do n’t think that the form is good for us, you can relax! Only one round, for example, if we lose to Mexico, then Mexico will become the group first, and Brazil and the Netherlands will also catch up We, then leave it to us, only to fight Brazil in the last round, how many opportunities do you think? "
That will undoubtedly become very detrimental to the Chinese team.
"So all we have to do is win the second game and make sure we can qualify for the group!"
Then the Chinese team began to prepare for the battle.
During the preparation process, the most important thing is to practice tactics. Player training is not necessary. Players' personal abilities can not be improved through a few days of training. Relatively speaking, tactical position training and routine training are better.
The Chinese team made a lot of preparations for the second group match. Just watching the last match in Mexico, they watched it three times in a row. They need to understand this American opponent through the video of the match.
The day of the game finally arrived.
At the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium in Nizhny Novgorod, Group E ushered in the second round.
The game has just started, the two teams left their hands open for fierce fights, and the continuous change of control of the ball also made the game very exciting.
This game has received a lot of attention.
The Chinese team is not popular in the World Cup, so only the Chinese media and fans have cared about the Chinese team before, but because the Chinese team defeated the Netherlands in the first round, the attention has suddenly increased a lot in the world. They are the first in group e. If you win Mexico this time, you can announce the team's qualifying in advance.
When the attention becomes more, the media of the live game also becomes more, there is a Spanish media, live broadcast of the game between China and Mexico, the commentator Fernandos is an absolute supporter of Atletico Madrid, the Chinese coach Wan Sheng and the striker king Tyumen is the object of his support, so his explanations are somewhat biased towards the Chinese team, but at the beginning of the game, it is difficult to see what, he can only talk about the swing of the Chinese team, "From the beginning of the game, the Chinese team The performance is much stronger than the last one. They played with Mexico and they were offensive and defensive. The game was very fierce. This is the Chinese team brought out by Wansheng, and it has also become a very strong team. "
"To be honest, if the Chinese team didn't enter the World Cup, I thought China didn't have a football team ... But now I am looking forward to seeing the Chinese team's game. Wan Sheng has left Madrid for five years, and the fans miss him ... … "
The pressure of the game in Mexico is also great, they also want to fight for victory.
The head coach of Mexico is Herrera. He hopes that this World Cup will lead the team to the top 16.
This is the goal given by the Mexican Football Association.
However, even ordinary Mexican fans know that this goal is not easy to achieve, because Group e has Brazil and the Netherlands, Mexico has a good strength in the Americas, and it has also killed the US team in the World Cup qualifiers. what.
In this case, Herrera can only work hard to lead the team to fight for miracles.
The first round is the beginning of a miracle.
Mexico drew the Brazilian team, successfully scored 1 point, the Chinese team beat the Netherlands is also a surprise, it means that the Dutch team may no longer be an opponent.
The Netherlands lost to Brazil again. If they didn't get points in the two rounds, they would be eliminated early.
As long as Mexico can win China, they can accumulate four points. Tomorrow, if the Netherlands lose to Brazil, they can even announce their qualifying ahead of time-because it is difficult for the Chinese team to beat or draw Brazil.
This is what Mexico intends to do.
So this game is also very important for Mexico, they must try to beat the Chinese team.
At the beginning of the game, Herrera was annoyed by the atmosphere of the scene. Most of the fans supported the Chinese team. A large number of them were Chinese fans. It seems that the Chinese economic exhibition is good. There are so many fans who can come to Russia to support themselves. Team, in addition, many local Russian fans also shouted to support the Chinese team because of the so-called 'China-Russia friendship'?
Herrera does not understand, but the scene has indeed become the home of the Chinese team, which is detrimental to Mexico. He only hopes that the players will not be affected by the fans' shouts.
However, it is difficult ...
Every time a Mexican player takes the ball, there is an international "boo" in the audience, but it means that the fans do not want to see Mexico perform well, and the Chinese team gets the opposite, the fans will have a huge cheer, Just like the Chinese team has finished scoring.
"Asshole!"
Herrera glanced around the stands, dissatisfied swearing, it seems that because of the cheering of the fans, the Chinese team's performance is no worse than Mexico. From the opening to the present, in just ten minutes, the Chinese team has made two threats .
Chinese team coach seat.
Wan Sheng was quite satisfied with the game. In fact, the Chinese team did not adjust the tactics. The players changed two, but the tactics were still playing against the Netherlands.
The main difference is the opponent.
The Netherlands is undoubtedly very strong, and Mexico is relatively close. The Chinese team has been firmly defending, but Mexico's continuous mistakes have given them more opportunities to attack.
So the Chinese team's conservative defensive counter-attacks seem to be evenly matched with Mexico.
The immediate game proved that the players swing very well.
The reporters in the media were very surprised by the game situation. When they thought about it, the Chinese team must be worse than Mexico. How could it not be like this, but the game is like this, they can only spit Mexico's bleak swing .
Wansheng made the team tough and efficient.
When the opponent's performance is not good, the Chinese team's performance becomes quite good.
This situation seems to be balanced, but in fact it is quite beneficial to the Chinese team.
Herrera didn't know Wan Sheng's idea.
In his view, the two teams have offensive and defensive each other, even if Mexico is close, and the situation does not fall, then the chances of the two teams are equal, and as the game time passes, the players will definitely swing The better it comes, then Mexico will have an advantage.
Both head coaches have confidence in their team. Which one is the correct one depends on the players on the court.
The game has passed 2o minutes.
After 2o minutes of intense scrambling, the players of both teams have entered a state of cooperation. The strength of the confrontation has also increased, and the game has become more intense.
Wang Qiuming stood at the forefront of the Chinese team formation, and his mind echoed what Wan Sheng said, "We are going to play more resolutely and shoot when we have the chance! Don't hesitate, even if you don't score continuously, it doesn't matter. I believe we Is much more efficient than its opponents! "
This is Wan Sheng's advice.
Wang Qiuming has great trust in Wansheng, and also knows that Wansheng ’s tactics are to use the number of shots to find a goal. As long as he can score a goal, the game will be very beneficial to the team.
Wang Qiuming is undoubtedly a very tightly defended player. He has to face the entanglement of his opponents. Mexico pays more attention to the defense of Wang Qiuming than the Netherlands. It is not easy for Wang Qiuming to find a good shooting opportunity. The shots were all taken from a temporary start. The shot did not threaten the opponent's goal, but it was always better to have a shot than to be snatched by the opponent.
This time Wang Qiuming continued his dribbling and suddenly started to throw away Carlos Bella.
After completing the breakthrough, Wang Qiuming met the opposing center defender Marquis.
Marquis is the defensive needle of the defense of Mexico. As early as 1997, Marquez, who was under 18 years old, staged his own national team debut in the game between Mexico and Ecuador, but he was not selected for the 1998 World Cup in France. Lineup.
In early 1999, Marquis participated in the Chinese New Year Cup match in Hong Kong, China with Mexico. In the match with Egypt, his goal helped Mexico win 1-0, which is also his national team's first goal. Also in this year, Marquis won the FIFA Confederations Cup with the team.
By the 2oo2 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Marquez, just 23 years old, was not only the main force but also the captain's armband. He represented the Mexico team in all the games of the 2oo2 and 2oo6 World Cups, one eighth of the 2oo6 World Cup In the finals, his goal helped Mexico 1-0 ahead of Argentina, but Mexico lost that game 1-2 and missed the quarterfinals.
In this World Cup qualifier, Marquis only played 7 times for the Mexican team due to injury, but when the World Cup was launched, Marquis was still the core of the defense.
It ’s incredible to see how old he played for the Mexican national team-39 years old, 21 years!
21-year national team career!
That may be the age when some young players enter the national team, and Marquis is enough to be their father or uncle. Such a player, even if he is older, is definitely not easy to deal with.
Seeing Marquis rushing to defend, Wang Qiuming still chose to give the ball to his teammates. Wu Lei, who was keeping up, received the pass. Wu Lei hesitated whether to continue the pass. He heard Wang Qiuming shouting, " Shoot! Don't hesitate! "
Wu Lei immediately lifted his right foot, which was one foot towards the goal.
"Boom!"
The soccer ball hit Duinus's leg and popped out of bounds. The Chinese team was ready to take a penalty kick. , You just listen to the boss's right. "
Wu Lei nodded busy.
The shot just now didn't pose a threat, but Wu Lei felt very comfortable, because he kicked enough strength, if he didn't kick on the opponent player, it might pose a threat, maybe even complete the goal. .
After the Chinese team made a penalty, the football passed with two or three feet and came to Wang Qiuming.
Wang Qiuming stubbornly defended the two men's defense, changing direction from left to right and dribbling the ball.
The continuous shaking made it difficult for Mexican defensive players to make judgments. As a result, Wang Qiuming took the ball all the way to the penalty area and immediately kicked the shot.
Football passed under the foot of a Mexican player!
Mexican goalkeeper Talavera performed well, he successfully saved the ball to the bottom line.
The threat of this attack is not small.
The Chinese team got a foot kick. Wu Lei ran to take the penalty. Mexico blocked the penalty area very tightly, but Yu Xiaobao, who has a good header ability, still used his head to wipe the ball to the far corner.
"nice shot!"
"Are you in!"
Under the camera lens, you can see the football flying out of the bottom line against the post.
"Pity!"
"Yu Xiaobao's header was very powerful just now, but unfortunately it was a little worse, Mexico escaped!"
"During this period, the Chinese team continued to attack, long-range shots, headers, and various methods were used. Mexico was overwhelmed for a while, and the Chinese team's performance was very good."
"Up to now, it seems that the only difference is a goal!"
"It can be seen that the Chinese team coached by Wansheng is indeed much stronger than before. In the game against Mexico, they can't see the" soft "at all, but feel that the Chinese team is stronger ..."
