Chapter 193 Looking for an Opportunity to Counterattack
In the 30 minutes of the game, the Chinese team fell behind 0-2. The players on the field worked hard. Stan was very satisfied, but the fans on the field made Stan very dissatisfied. As soon as he entered the field, Stan found something that made him very uncomfortable, that is, very few fans on the field wore the jerseys of the Chinese national team.
And most of them were wearing the jerseys of the Uruguay national team. Even when he came to the stadium by bus, Stan saw vendors around the stadium peddling the jerseys of Uruguay and Liverpool, which made Stan very angry.
When Stan visited South Korea and Japan, he found that their fans would support his team unconditionally. The home court of the South Korean team is a piece of red, while the home court of the Japanese team is a sea of blue. What is this now?The scene is colorful, football is war in peacetime, war, understand? ?
Stan was getting more and more excited, and the trigger was just after Cavani's second goal, the Chinese fans were still cheering for the opponent. Yes, this was an innocuous warm-up match. Yes, Stan also admitted that Uruguay's offense was very beautiful, but this is my field, you are Chinese fans! !
Stan wants to do something to change all this, but how?Unless the performance of the Chinese team can get better and better, otherwise everything is empty.
Stan took off his suit jacket, walked to the sidelines, whistled to the players on the field non-stop, and then stretched out two fingers to point to his eyes, which meant to improve his concentration.
Then Stan made a gesture to Li Qiao, like a fish swimming gesture, Stan means "interspersed", but now Li Qiao has no chance to get the ball at all, and he doesn't understand why Stan made such a gesture.
Stan's intention is that if Li Qiao stands still, even if the team has an opportunity, it will be difficult for the passer to pass the ball. The so-called "pass-run coordination", if the runner in front stands still, the passer cannot pass the ball.
So Stan asked Li Qiao to keep interspersing even if he had no chance of getting the ball, just swimming around the opponent's two defenders - Lugano and Godin, like a fish.
Li Qiao's "ball quotient" is very high. Faced with Stan's continuous gestures, he gradually understood what Stan's intentions were. He began to run without the ball, and used several Uruguayan defenders as poles for training around the pole. He ran back and forth, which annoyed his opponents.
Seeing that Li Qiao understood his intentions, Stan smiled knowingly, "As expected of Joe, I brought it with my own hands."
Stan knew that Li Qiao was like an electric eel ready to go. As long as the Chinese team steals the ball in the backcourt, he could jump out immediately and give the opponent a fatal blow at any time.
*****
After setting up the offensive end, Stan began to deploy the team's defensive end. Now the Chinese team's defense line consists of 5 people-Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, Wei Xiao, and Qi Bing.
Zheng Zhi retreated to play a deep-back central defender to fill the gap between Li Weifeng and Wei Xiao, while the other four—Hao Junmin, Deng Zhuoxiang, Yu Dabao, and Shao Jiayi, except Shao Jia who stood slightly forward and played a position similar to No. 4 and a half.
Stan can be said to be a master tactician. If his arrangement is not for the world's top team like Uruguay, it can be said to be more than enough, but the opponent is too strong. Sometimes in the face of absolute strength, it is really a cloud.
After the opponent led by two goals, the game became more and more relaxed, and some magical moves appeared. If you were watching the game, you would think it was worth the ticket price, but the Chinese team members on the field and Stan on the sidelines felt uncomfortable and aggrieved.
But after Stan readjusted, Uruguay's offense was not as easy as imagined because of the well-trained and the retreat of personnel greatly compressed the opponent's offensive space.
Those who really understand the ball will see how powerful Stan is at this time. The two conceded goals of the Chinese team, the first one was pushed in by the opponent's "cross from the side", and the second was pierced by "infiltration from the middle".
On the one hand, Stan arranged for the players to scramble in the midfield, and did not allow the opponent to cross at a 45-degree angle. On the other hand, Zheng Zhi's retreat strengthened the frontal defense in the middle.
Stan read the game, analyzed the game, and responded in a timely manner. It can be said that Stan has done what a good coach should do.
*****
But even so, the Chinese team almost lost the ball many times in front of the goal. The main reason is that the opponent's long-range shooting ability is too strong.
The opponent's 4 midfielders are all long-range shooting masters, especially "Gargano" and "Diego Perez" are the masters of long-range shooting masters.
After the two forwards had no chance in the penalty area, Suarez and Cavani took the initiative to withdraw from the penalty area, and then began to shoot long shots, especially Suarez. We were deeply impressed by the World Cup in South Africa. In the quarter-finals, Suarez sent the Korean home with a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Therefore, in the arc of the penalty area, Suarez's two long-range shots were within the range of the goal frame. Fortunately, Qi Qi was very focused, and he saved the opponent's threatening shots twice.
Seeing that the problem had changed, Stan immediately made a change. He made a gesture of pressing forward, indicating that the five people in the back line should press forward a little bit, so that the opponent should not be so easy to threaten himself with long-range shots.
"Damn, Uruguay are really good at handling the ball," Stan thought.
Stan has been waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, because as long as they make a mistake and the Chinese team makes a long pass, Stan knows the ability of Li Qiao in front.
But the problem is that Uruguay basically do not make mistakes, they firmly control the ball in the midfield, the current situation is like the 10 Uruguayans (except the goalkeeper) are like the atmosphere, while Li Qiao is outside the atmosphere, and the other 10 people of the Chinese team are inside the atmosphere. Both sides know to contact each other, but they just can't.
Finally, Zheng Zhi saw through the opponent's direct pass from midfield, and the ball was intercepted. The opportunity finally came. Zheng Zhi had observed it for a long time. He made a long pass and aimed at Li Qiao.
But such a long pass of more than 50 meters is difficult even for Beckham. Sure enough, Zheng Zhi's pass was cut off by Lugano of Uruguay before it reached Li Qiao's feet.
But at least this is a good start. After overcoming the opponent's three axes, the Chinese team finally began to plan a counterattack!
*****
Seeing Zheng Zhi's pass, Li Qiao felt happy and ran quickly, but Cheng Yaojin broke out halfway, and Lugano stole the ball. Li Qiao immediately braked and went back to grab Lugano, but there were 4 players in the opponent's half.
But the sharp-eyed Stan saw that this was a good start. He failed the first time, and he might succeed the next time. He yelled at Li Qiao in Chinese: "Continue to intersperse, and pay attention to the curly hair behind" (because Lugano has blond curly hair).
And Li Qiao also understood it. On the premise of not being offside, he moved as far back as possible to gain the advantage of accelerating the sprint in the first place.
*****
At the end of the first half, 0 to 2, the Chinese team fell behind temporarily, but many people saw that the Chinese team quickly adjusted after being confused at the beginning, and finally did not collapse.
In the locker room of the Chinese team, Stan was the last one to return to the locker room. This is very rare. Normally, Stan is the first to arrive. The players were very worried. I don’t know if Stan was dissatisfied with the first half and was about to go crazy.
But the first sentence after Stan came in turned out to be - "Sorry, I'm late, I'm looking for a signature pen", and then Stan handed a few pens in his hand to the assistant coach "Pekovic", "Go, give them."
After everyone took the pen, they didn't know what Stan was going to do?
"Take off the jersey, write on the front and back of the vest inside, "Please fans support us, and wear the Chinese team jersey to watch the game in the future", everyone writes on it," Stein said.
People still don't understand exactly what Stan is going to do, but everyone does what Stan asks.
Stan continued: "Okay, if we score in the second half, you guys show that to the fans",
"But you have to get a yellow card for taking off your clothes to celebrate", everyone thought.
Li Weifeng said: "Coach, those 11 people will all get yellow cards."
"It's okay, it's just a warm-up match. If it's an official match, I won't ask you to do this."
"Can you lift up the jersey? That way you can display these words without getting a yellow card," Li Weifeng said.
"No, my goal is to get all 11 yellow cards",
In fact, when it comes to this, some smart players will understand that Stan wants to be on the headlines tomorrow and let the whole of China know through the media. If you are a Chinese fan, come to watch the game in the future and wear the Chinese team jersey for me.
To be honest, the players are not happy about the Chinese fans not wearing jerseys to watch the game. In the past, everyone was just upset. This is the first time I see someone who fights back like Stan.
"I understand, coach," Li Weifeng said.
A smile appeared on the corner of Stein's mouth. He said: "Changing Chinese fans is also part of changing Chinese football."
After understanding Stan's intentions, the players nodded in support.
"Okay, I have nothing to say about the second half, the only thing to do is to score a goal and show me the words inside your jerseys."
