Ace Manager of the Green Field - Chapter 1263
The atmosphere at the Al Khor stadium was fanatical and earth shaking cheers came one after another. After the start of the 18th World Cup finals between China and Mexico, there was a scene of cautious mutual temptation.
Whether it is China or Mexico, in fact, they will be very conservative to face today’s game, especially their bottom line is that even in overtime, there is no problem in penalty shootout!
But we can’t lose because of our own radicality!
Mexico’s overall strength has not become stronger after the previous generation of stars withdrew from the national team stage. Among the familiar stars of the previous generation are dos Santos and little pea Hernandez, but now the players in the team are not strong!
However, under Martino’s training, Mexico also settled down with defensive counterattack.
Antuna on the right, Pizarro on the left, Piney and Gutierrez in the midfield, and Jimenez in the Premier League on the front is a sharp weapon to disrupt the opponent’s defense.
Although Mexico’s tactics are simple, after Martino injected the Argentine football concept, the team has strengthened its game control and passing organization.
In particular, the sense of rhythm of the game has also become clean and tidy. We will never delay to control the ball and let ourselves fall into the mire of attack. If we can play well, we will play. If we can’t play well, we will withdraw back to defend and look for counter attack opportunities!
The key to playing a good defensive counterattack is to shape the opportunity of counterattack. If you always invest a lot in positional offensive, you will obviously be unable to launch a counterattack.
There is no doubt that the rhythm of China and Mexico is very similar, so the two teams test each other within 10 minutes after the start of the game, and the attack is very simple.
But after the trial period, the counterattack of the two teams showed a scene of climax in Al Khor stadium!
In the 13th minute of the game, Pinet’s midfield started a long pass to find Jimenez. The latter picked up the header ferry on the restricted area to find Pizarro. Although the latter first touched the ball when cutting into the restricted area, the chest stop failed to control the power. The football bounced out of its own ball control range. Cheng Renjun blocked Pizarro behind him and watched the football pop up the bottom line.
Martino gestured on the sidelines to get the team back and ready to defend.
The Chinese team wants to fight positional warfare, which is a rhythm that Mexico likes, and the Chinese team plays very simple in positional warfare.
In the 15th minute of the game, the Chinese team made a fast break in the front court. Zhao Fenghua stopped the spike and withdrew under Gutierrez and anti-interference, because he had seen Diego Reyes rush up to intercept him. At this time, he passed the ball directly behind Reyes!
Reyes stopped in a hurry and turned to look. Wu Lei hit the ball horizontally.
Luo Cheng cut inside from the side. Although he was a little far from the goal, he still made a decisive shot!
The trident of the Chinese team, which did not appear at the end of the group game, is energetic today. Luo Cheng is the best shooter in the World Cup team, and his performance has attracted more than expected attention from the outside world.
The shot was strong and heavy, and the football flew directly above the near corner of the goal!
Mexican door god Ochoa quickly ran a few steps and then jumped into the air!
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the upper left corner of the goal, Ochoa blocked the ball with one hand in the air like Superman!
Defender alauyo returned to the small restricted area for the first time and half turned to clear the ball out of the sideline.
Hoo!
All the Chinese fans were amazed!
Mexican fans are haunted!
“Luo Cheng almost broke the door with a long-range shot! If this goal is scored, it will definitely be a world wave!
Ochoa! Ochoa, 37, is as agile as she was 27!
Mexico really has a good goalkeeper!
The Chinese team’s front line obviously began to be active in the game. They sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the last game. It can be said that situ Yunbing’s bold employment in the last game brought space for the main front line to have a full rest. Today, the Chinese team’s front line at least has an absolute advantage in physical ability! ”
Martino held his glasses by the side of the court. The danger just now was really shocking!
The Chinese team has a strong front line, which has been proved in the group match.
7 goals from 5 different players!
Mexico needs to be more cautious in positional defense!
With this dangerous situation, Martino naturally made defensive adjustment, so that the midfield line retreated to the front of the restricted area to avoid long-range shooting after being cut inside by the Chinese winger!
In the 18th minute of the game, the Chinese team made a fast attack in the front court. After Zhao Fenghua came to the dangerous area of attack, he received Luo Cheng’s pass from the side. When he rushed in the skin to press, Zhao Fenghua pretended to play the ball, but pulled the ball under his feet and turned to the other side. He looked idle, but made his opponent busy.
After the group match, when the European media summarized the players who performed well in the World Cup group match, Zhao Fenghua could rank among the top five midfielders of all the participating teams!
He combed the Chinese team’s midfield attack and defense well, and also constantly transported threat balls!
Although on the World Cup stage, he lacks more impact and aura than those players who have been considered world-class midfielders, he has been very outstanding in terms of stability.
When Zhao Fenghua went forward again, Gutierrez blocked in front of him. At this time, Zhao Fenghua sent the ball short to the right in front of the restricted area. Gutierrez still kept an eye on Zhao Fenghua and Reyes rushed to rob Luo Xin.
After Luoxin cut inside, he found that there was no good chance to directly start long-range shooting, so he continued to dribble inside to close the Mexican defense, and then suddenly changed to the outside line to kill veteran Moreno!
Close to the restricted area line to the bottom line, Luo Xin swept the ball in front of the goal!
Wu Lei quickly follows up the oblique insertion and grabs the front point shot!
At the moment of his shooting, Defender Alvarez directly put the shovel and just blocked the ball out of the bottom line!
Another wave of attack of the Chinese team formed a shot, but this time the Mexican defense did well!
Martino looks dignified. The strength of the Chinese team’s front line is much stronger than he imagined!
Three minutes later, when Luo Cheng’s Cross was blocked directly by Rodriguez, Piney controlled the ball in the backcourt. Seeing Zhao Fenghua withdraw, he knew he had to play the ball as soon as possible, otherwise Mexico didn’t even have a chance to fight back!
So Piney skewed the ball to the left of the midfield, veteran Moreno quickly inserted it into the flank, and then passed the ball straight ahead.
Pizarro stopped the ball in the left area of the attack danger zone, turned to control the ball and quickly killed it forward. Due to the slow follow-up in the middle of Mexico, Zhang Zhibang decisively helped defend the sidelines. Just when he was about to reach Pizarro, the latter stopped to control the ball and retreated, and then sent the ball to the front left of the restricted area with a cross.
Center Jimenez responds with his back here. Before Bai yuanfan goes to the front top defense, Jimenez smashes the ball and turns around to connect the shot!
The ball flew directly to the lower left of the middle of the goal. The ball came suddenly. Shen Jingjie’s sight was blocked at the beginning, so the rescue action was a little slow, but fortunately, he managed to block the ball out of the bottom line!
After finishing the save, he raised his hand and said to his teammates that he had no problem. Just now, he was just blocked by Bai yuanfan and failed to see jimenes turn around with the ball.
“Shen Jingjie saved Jimenez’s shot! Mexico’s counterattack also began to threaten!
The Chinese team needs to improve its defensive aggression and can’t let the opponent start and shoot on the restricted area line so easily! ”
Situ Yunbing also punched his left palm with his right fist on the sideline. His expression was tough. The message to the team was to be tougher and decisive in defense!
After all, Mexico is also fighting back. There are only a few people on the offensive end. If Jimenez retreats to take over, Bai yuanfan will resolutely defend and close down, because other attacking players in Mexico will have teammates to mark and limit!
Perhaps because it is a knockout match, Bai yuanfan also has some concerns. He is afraid that he will expose the space in the restricted area and be used by his opponent!
In any case, knockouts are always stressful, especially for defenders.
They are different from attacking players. Attacking players can always make mistakes from beginning to end. As long as they are right once, an opportunity and a goal, they may turn the world around. However, as long as defensive players make mistakes once, no matter how many times they are right, they will become eternal sinners.
Mexico’s corner attack failed to pose a threat, and they didn’t put many players into the attack.
After the Chinese team’s defense became active and tough, they began to put pressure on the Mexican defense.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Gutierrez looked for the goal after receiving Pizarro’s pass in the front court. Zhao Fenghua rushed to press him. Gutierrez suddenly turned the ball to get rid of it, but he followed Huang Bozhou to kill and put a shovel to intercept and destroy the ball.
Zhao Fenghua turned and quickly stepped forward to push forward the attack, and the skin quickly retreated.
After Zhao Fenghua hit the dangerous area of attack, pinai also rushed to put a shovel to intercept!
Zhao Fenghua calmly spiked the ball to complete the Dodge, and then skewed the ball to the front left of the restricted area in front of Reyes.
Wu Lei took the initiative to pick up the ball and ran to the side, which surprised aloyo who came out of the top defense. The guard Rodriguez in the restricted area was about to come forward to steal Wu Lei, but Wu Lei stuffed the ball between Rodriguez and aloyo!
Rodriguez turned and looked at Luo Cheng!
Luo Cheng cut inside around the outside line into the restricted area. After receiving Wu Lei’s pass, he faintly broke through the Mexican defense line.
When Alvarez quickly killed him, Luo Cheng resolutely picked the ball to the right rib of the restricted area!
Because at that end, Luo Xin is about to run and kill!
When the football fell, Ochoa quickly ran towards the right goalpost. Alvarez and arauyo were powerless, and 34 year old Moreno had been rid of by Rosin!
When Luo Xin was about to meet the ball and header directly into the goal, someone took off from his eyes and headed the ball out of the bottom line!
Diego Reyes!
Nearly 30000 Chinese fans in the stands of Al Khor stadium sighed and couldn’t help holding their heads in their hands!
Without Reyes’s rescue, rosin would almost face the half empty door!
It’s a sure shot!
