Chapter 289 Dark Horse Survival Manual
After Corbin scored a goal, he made a domineering kneeling celebration. The head coach "Marsh" on the sidelines just clenched his fists and shouted secretly. There was no exaggerated celebration, but the more such a person was, the more terrifying he was.
Stan held his head and turned around with a wry smile, and then applauded his players, "You guys did a good job, the defense is not responsible for the loss of the ball."
But Stan didn't call any player over to say this sentence, but said it to the field. Anyone who has watched the game knows that in a football field, unless you are face to face, otherwise everything you say will be lost in the huge noise.
So Stan's words are not so much an encouragement to the players, but a comfort to himself.
After finishing the kneeling, Corbin made a "love" gesture towards the stands, where his family and girlfriend were sitting. This is Corbin's third goal in this cup.

Zheng Zhi and Zhou Dun exchanged a few words briefly, and then the two went to stabilize the morale of the army. Zheng Zhi was in charge of the ideological work in the front field, and Zhou Dun was in charge of the defense.
After the re-kick-off, the game continued. The mentality of the Chinese players did not fluctuate much. This is the most basic quality of a mature team. Is a team mature?The key is whether you can hold on in the face of adversity.Anyone can play the downwind ball, but the upwind ball can show the background of a team.
The core of the Chinese team's offense is Li Qiao, and it is Prahimi who is marking Li Qiao. In the eyes of others, marking Li Qiao is the most troublesome. His super-fast movement frequency and dazzling fake moves often make the opponent's defender dizzy.
But for Prahimi, Li Qiao practiced every movement with him. Do you still remember that when Li Qiao first entered the Dynamo Kiev youth training camp, it was Prahimi who taught him how to circle the pole. The relationship between Li Qiao and Prahimi is not like family, but it is better than family.
Li Qiao broke through with the ball three times and all failed. In the last time, when Li Qiao changed the line three times in a row but still failed to pass Prahimi, there was a "wow" in the audience, and everyone exclaimed where did the omnipotent "Chinese golden boy" go?
Most people think that Li Qiao's injury has not healed, other than that, no one knows the real reason behind it.
Li Qiao took the initiative to find Lin Zhijian and Ding Mu, and told them not to give him the ball in a positional battle unless it was a good opportunity.
This is very rare, or it has never been requested. Usually Li Qiao complains because his teammates give him too few balls, and it is never possible to complain that his teammates give him too many balls.
But Lin Zhijian and Ding Mu believed in Li Qiao, and they also felt that Li Qiao's poor performance in this game was due to his leg injury.
In this way, one of the Chinese team's offensive "tridents" was broken, and it was the sharpest one, but it was not limited to this. The wily Marsh saw Ding Mu's weakness, which was slow speed.
He gestured and directed the players to stare at Lin Zhijian. Without a pass point, what's the use of Ding Mu outflanking and grabbing a point?
*****
Prahimi looked at Li Qiao's right leg. He felt strange. He had marked Li Qiao in training before, but the success rate had never been so high. He knew Li Qiao very well, but Li Qiao was still difficult to defend. The only explanation was that Li Qiao's right foot was not good at all.
This time, Prahimi guessed right. Li Qiao has always felt the muscles in his right leg are tight. As a speed player, the feeling of tightness in his legs makes Li Qiao dare not exert strength at all. Li Qiao is afraid that as long as he exerts strength, he will strain himself.
It is not surprising that Li Qiao, who has only recovered 90%, meets a Brahimi who understands him 100%. It is not surprising that the breakthrough success rate is zero, but Li Qiao cannot say that he does not want to leave now. If Stan knows the real situation and knows that he has been insisting on risking muscle strain, then Stan will definitely replace him without hesitation.

After the goal, Ukraine strangled the Chinese team's offense. It can be said that there was a sense of victory on the scene, but the strange thing is that Marsh did not allow the players to pursue the victory, but stabilized the situation.
Stan suddenly felt numbness in his back. He had the feeling of beating Juventus, or to use the routine of Chinese martial arts novels, that is, when he met "Bone Bone Palm", the opponent beat you without pain at all, but you didn't know how you died.
There are people beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Today, Stan has finally learned this sentence. In the past, Stan was always one step ahead, but today, he always feels overwhelmed.
He couldn't guess what Marsh was thinking, not only Stan, but I don't think anyone in the world would guess, it was because "Marsh" gave the team an order before the game-only one goal can be won in this game!
Because the reason why the dark horse is a dark horse is because it is ignored. In 2004, Greece led by the German "Otto the Great" Rehagel almost won the knockout match before the final by one goal, so that everyone attributed Greece's victory to "luck", but what no one knew was that it was deliberately arranged by Rehagel.
"Rehagel", who once led the team to create the myth of "Kaiserslautern", knows very well that the dark horse must learn to "pretend" if it wants to survive.
Marsh has lofty ambitions. He has seriously studied "Greek Mythology" in 2004. He only needs to win one game in this game.
Marsh repeatedly stretched out two fingers, and now the most important thing is the two Ukrainian midfielders-Prahimi and Rakitsky.As long as their two "metronomes" control the ball well, the rhythm of the game will be under Ukraine's control.
Stan was a little anxious, and he shouted to the field like venting: "Strengthen running, strengthen running".
The players hear it, but step up the run?I can't even touch the ball, how can I run?
But what Stan said was the imperial decree, and as a result, the players began to run around ineffectively. Seeing that the scene was getting more chaotic, Stan made a gesture of pressing down, so it's better to be steady.
The ball arrived at the feet of "Yarmolenko". He is a person who likes to attack. He dribbles the ball with his feet and plays with Chen Fei on the side. However, Chen Fei is also of a high level. He understands that if the opponent makes a fake move, then he doesn't need to pay attention to it. He just needs to look at the opponent's shoulder, because when the last real move is made, the shoulders will lean forward and the center of gravity must keep up. Then it is time for him to make a move.
The soles of Yarmolenko's feet were blooming, and his beautiful fake moves drew applause again and again, but in Chen Fei's view, these were wild fox Zen. In fact, he admired Li Qiao's extraordinary, crisp and neat, fast speed and quick line changes.
Finally "Yarmolenko" leaned forward with his shoulders, "It's time", Chen Fei stretched out his foot and left the ball behind. Yarmolenko completed the dribble beautifully, but the person passed, but the ball did not.
The situation was very passive. Chen Fei knew that the simpler the game today, the better. Instead of looking for Li Qiao, he directly passed the ball to Ding Mu.
The 60-meter long pass cannot be successful without cover. Li Qiao, Lin Zhijian, and Hao Junmin started running at the same time, and each of them attracted one or two defenders. In this way, the pressure on Ding Mu was greatly reduced. Only two central defenders, "Zhizov" and "Berezov" defended Ding Mu.
The reason why Ding Mu is the "king of the penalty area" in China is that he is not fast, but his skills are top-notch. In the penalty area, defenders dare not foul him, so Ding Mu's small skills can be fully utilized.
Facing "Zhzov", Ding Mu flicked the ball lightly, and the ball passed over "Zhzov"'s head. Before "Berezov" made up, Ding Mu poked his toe and completed the shot.The two most important things to do in the restricted area are "clever" and "fast", and this is what Ding Mu is best at, so China's "King of the restricted area" deserves its reputation.
Ding Mu's shot was very sudden. "Pyatov" thought that Ding Mu would continue to pass, but what he didn't expect was that Ding Mu suddenly poked his toe in the gap between the two defenders.
With a toe poke, the strength is not enough, so it can only rely on the angle. Ding Mu chose the lower right corner of Pyatov's defense.
Pyatov threw himself sideways and pressed the ball on the ground with his big hands. After the ball stopped, Pyatov quickly picked up the football. At the same time, Ding Mu raised his hand to signal to the referee that the ball had passed the goal line, because from Ding Mu's point of view, the ball seemed to have scored.
If it was the World Cup in South Africa four years ago, then this would be another goal-line injustice, but the goal-line technology has been used in the World Cup in Brazil. The referee pointed at Ding Mu's watch, because if the ball is scored, his watch will ring.
After the game, it will be very clear to watch the slow playback. Two-thirds of Ding Mu's shots have already crossed the goal line, and at this moment, Pyatov pushed him to the ground, so if there is no goal line technology, this ball is really hard to say.
*****
The goal was not scored, but the whole process of the goal stunned Ukrainian coach Marsh. This attack only had 3 steps-long pass, pick the ball, and shoot.
The fast-break ability of the Chinese team is no less than that of Ukraine. Marsh can see right away that the only thing that the Chinese team lacks is two top midfielders. The reason why Ukraine is better than their opponents is that they have two good midfielders.
Stan also understands this very well. Zheng Zhi is getting older in the midfielder position, and everyone else is embarrassed to use it. Careful people will find that Stan’s formation changes. The three players in the forward line and the four players in the back line are basically the same. The only change is the midfielder.
A good defensive midfielder is hard to come by. Before finding the right one, Stan can only let it go.
Marsh immediately made a "pinch" gesture to his midfielder, which meant that the midfielder had to strengthen his control. Since the only player in Ukraine that is better than the Chinese team is the midfielder, they must make full use of their strengths.
At this time, the two coaches actually looked up at the big screen at the same time. They wanted to see the time, but this scene was captured by the live camera, so the picture of the two watching the big screen at the same time was broadcast live.
The fans at the scene burst into laughter, and the two also looked at each other and smiled knowingly. It was 40 minutes into the first half.
