Chapter 351 Pulling the Chapter 1 Ball
Chapter 351
In the locker room in Australia, everything seemed very quiet, the players were drinking water with their heads down, and the head coach "Postkoglu" had his hands on his hips, silent.
There's nothing worse than facing the second half for 45 minutes knowing you're going to lose.
Football is a team sport, and morale is like "glue", sticking 11 people together to form a whole. The ancient Chinese also said that "one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion". Now "Postkoglu" The first task is not to explain any tactics, but to restore the morale of the players. In other words, it is to find a goal for the players in the second half of the game.
"Papa...", "Postkoglu" suddenly slapped his hands. In the well-sealed locker room, several crisp applause brought the players back to reality.
"What's wrong? Have you surrendered?"
"Yedinak" clenched his fists and said, "No!"
"Look at your appearance, it's all written on your face",
"Coach, I know it's inappropriate to say this now, but I still want to say that we lost," Cahill said helplessly.
"Haha, tell "Kewell" this." (Australian old international, participated in the 05 Champions League final, and later ended his career early because of a rare blood disease)
As soon as "Kewell" was mentioned, everyone's eyes began to flicker. It seemed different from just now. "Kewell" is a legend in Australian football, not only because he participated in the incredible "Istanbul Miracle", but also because he suffered from a strange disease and still insisted on his football dream. His attending physician once warned him not to play football again, and "Kewell" replied: "Even if I die, I will die on the football field."
While the players were still thinking, "Postkoglu" had already dialed the number of "Kewell". He was also watching the game in the stands, so the phone sounded a bit noisy.
"Harry (Kewell), can you hear me"?
"Well, "Ange", I heard, hehe, the halftime break is not easy"?After finishing speaking, "Kewell" smiled heartily.
"No, on the contrary, I'm relaxed, you know why, because my lads are ready to surrender",
There was deathly silence in the locker room, even the irascible "Yedinak" was silent, and the "Australian" players couldn't hold back their faces, and they were ashamed.
"Kewell" didn't say anything, but changed the subject, "Hey, let me tell you, in fact, when I was first diagnosed with a strange disease, my wife persuaded me to give up football. She was afraid that I would die and she would become a widow." After speaking, "Kewell" still laughed.
"Harry, stop talking, we are all bastards, we are sorry for the national team jersey", "Jedinak" said.
"Don't say that, let me tell you, I was one of the 18 Liverpool people who experienced the "Istanbul Miracle". At halftime, our dressing room was almost like yours now. Everyone complained to each other and had no morale. In the end, "Steven" (Gerrard) stood up and said that he believed that "Liverpool" could perform miracles. You are the captain and you should stand up."
Yedinak "Huo" stood up suddenly, "If anyone does not believe that Australia will perform miracles, raise your hand now, the Australian team does not need cowards."
The masculinity of the other 10 people was also stimulated, and they stood up one after another. They can't wait to play the game right now.
"Don't worry, coach, even if we lose, we will shed our last drop of sweat in the second half."
"Postkoglu" looked at everyone's eyes and smiled. He knew that he had achieved his goal.
*****
When the Chinese team entered the field in the second half, the "Australian" players had already lined up on the field, so when the Chinese team players walked out of the player tunnel, they were booed by the audience. Many people shouted: "Do the Chinese think they are sure to win?"
And the last person walking in the Chinese team was the head coach "Stan". Stan whistled and walked out of the player tunnel as if he was on the rein. When he glanced at the eyes of the Australian players, the whistle stopped abruptly.
That look was different from the first half. In the first half, the Australian players' eyes were like "little white rabbits", ready to be slaughtered, but in the second half, their players' eyes were as ferocious as wolves.
Stan knew it was bad, but the second-half whistle had already blown, and he didn't have a chance to remind his players.
*****
In the second half, Australia kicked off, the midfielder "Milligan" took the ball, and the wings on both sides were spread out, which means that the players on both sides stood slightly forward, so it looked like the wings were spread out. This is a typical offensive formation.
Among the 11 players in the Chinese team, only Li Qiao noticed that the situation seemed to have changed. He gestured for "Zhang Xizhe" to grab "Milligan".
"Zhang Xizhe" was not a defensive player at first, and his skills in grabbing the ball were very average. "Milligan" turned around to protect the ball, protected the ball, and then passed it to "Luorg". While the full-back took the ball, the left-back "Davidson" quickly jumped in from the side. This did not happen in the first half, because the 433-[-]-[-] formation was originally focused on offense, so under normal circumstances, the full-back would not assist.
There are some players with relatively high football IQ on the Chinese team who have already seen the danger, such as Zhou Dun and Li Qiao, but most of them are already thinking about where to celebrate at night, which is very dangerous.
"Luorg" dribbled forward with the ball, and after attracting Chen Fei's defense, his outside instep was distributed to "Davis".
It stands to reason that in the 433 formation, if the full-backs come up, there will be 3 people on the sidewalk, which will cause traffic jams.
But Australia handled it very well. When the full-back came up, the winger "Kruse" took the initiative to run to the middle. Now Australia has two points in the middle that can grab the header, namely-"Cahill" and "Kruse".
Seeing that "Kruse" was unmarked, Zhou Dun shouted loudly: "Wei Xiao, come forward!" !
Wei Xiao's position in this game has always been relatively high, because Australia likes long shots in the first half, so Wei Xiao often goes to block the eye-catching, and now he has to return from the position of the midfielder to defend "Kruse".
But this time it was too late, "Davis" passed the ball to the front, and without any defense, "Kruse" headed hard to the ground, the ball rebounded after hitting the ground, forming a big "V", and then went straight to the upper corner of the goal. Wang Dalei was powerless against the ball.
1 to 3, Australia pulled back a goal.
*****
After the goal, the Australian fans were like boiling water. The 11 people on the field and the substitute players off the field all rushed to an open space next to the corner flag to celebrate.
Perhaps because he was too excited, Kruse's jersey was torn by the rushing teammates. The rushing "Postkoglu" clasped "Kruse"'s cheeks with both hands, and the two big men embraced passionately.
After losing the ball, Stan immediately wrote down a sentence in his notebook, then tore it out and handed it to Zhang Xizhe.
"Go, pass it on to everyone".
Everyone spread out the small note, and there was a sentence on it - "Australia is resurrected"!
Now is the time for the core of the team to play a role. Zhou Dun commanded the rearrangement of the Chinese team's defense. First of all, Wei Xiao stopped pressing forward, and then Zhou Dun asked "Zhang Linpeng" to push out to limit the opponent's midfield.
The core of the frontcourt is Li Qiao, he found Ding Mu, Lin Zhijian had a small meeting, and finally decided that besides Ding Mu, he and Lin Zhijian would spare no effort to return to defense and help the midfielder.
After the Chinese team kicked off again in the middle circle, the Australian players, like African hyenas, launched a frenzied press in the midfield in groups of two or three. What was even more frightening was that the fans in the audience also revived. They saw hope and echoed the players on the field.
Fortunately, Li Qiao often returned to the midfield to support the players. He was good at handling the ball, and the Chinese team barely resisted in the midfield.
Stan decided to make a substitution now. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he replaced Liao Lisheng and replaced Zhang Chengdong to strengthen the midfield. In addition, Zhang Chengdong was a World Cup veteran and had seen big scenes.
In the second half of the Australian team, not only the players on the field suddenly came back to life, but even their head coach’s mind became easier to use. He replaced “Luorg” and replaced the veteran “Bresciano”.
The signal from "Postkoglu" was clear - attack, attack, attack!
After "Bresciano" came on the field, it became more difficult to limit Australia's midfield. After about 10 minutes of adaptation, "Bresciano" planned an attack. He dribbled the ball in the midfield. When Zhang Chengdong intercepted him, he gave the ball to "Milligan".
Now Wei Xiao is in a dilemma, do you want to grab it?
After seeing "Kruse" from the sidewalk approaching secretly, Wei Xiao decided not to fight.
But the Chinese team forgot that "Bresciano" has a strong long-range shooting ability. When he played for "Palermo" in Serie A, he often staged long-range world waves.
After observing that the two central defenders of the Chinese team were standing still, the bald head straightened his instep and kicked in the middle of the ball.
When the football was drawn, it flew straight towards the goal with a whistling sound. Wang Dalei stepped up and stood ready.
