Chapter 615 Fighting Croatia (1)

Chapter 615 Fighting Croatia ([-])

After playing for 10 minutes in the first half, Liu Jianhong looked at the ball possession rate of both sides. The Chinese team's ball possession rate was 25%, which was the lowest ball possession rate since Li Guo took office in the national team.

"The last time I saw the national football possession rate was 25% was probably when Teacher Song Shixiong was commenting," Liu Jianhong said with a smile.

Although very passive, on the court, the defense line composed of Mu Fei, Zheng Zhi, Micro Motion, and Geng Chong is still very solid. Croatia did not get a chance to shoot directly in the penalty area.

On the Croatian side, the players also felt a bit of a leisurely stroll. They only needed 1-0, and they were the first in the group. They only needed a 0-0, and they could also ensure that they qualified for the group. These European football superstars know how to adjust their physical condition.

After 15 minutes, Croatia has the feeling of speeding up, the number of passes has decreased, and the number of breakthroughs has increased. Perisic took the ball from the left. He did not choose to pass the ball, but faced Mu Fei directly.

Mu Fei thought it was just right, I was not the captain for nothing, Perisic stepped on a bicycle, and then stepped on it again, Mu Fei didn't take a fake move, Perisic was about to rush, flicked the ball on the outside of his left foot, Perisic was going to go outside.

Mu Fei turned around halfway, he couldn't let the ball go, and was going to fight for speed with Perisic, and the two of them competed for speed on the sideline.

Perisic was startled. He had seen quite a few excellent full-backs in European football. In the European Cup two years ago, he even blew up the Spanish full-backs, but this Mu Fei clung to him.

Before the bottom line, Perisic stepped on the ball, and Mu Fei also stopped the car. Perisic made a few coquettish feints, but Mu Fei was unmoved.

At this moment, Rakitic had moved over, and Perisic passed the ball to Rakitic.

Although it is a substitute, football is a system. When this system matures, each player is like a program.

After so many years, Li Guo has built the Chinese team into what he wanted in his heart, he only needs to give orders.

So when Li Guo asked everyone to defend, the defense line composed of 11 people was not so easy to break through.

Cacic was on the sidelines with his arms crossed. He felt that he had underestimated the Chinese team. Although the Chinese team had no offensive power, they defended well.

Cacic pressed down with both hands, let the players on the field calm down, don't just shoot from outside the penalty area, and pass the ball more.

Modric was originally a defensive midfielder, but seeing that the situation was not opened, Modric unconsciously pushed me up, and reached the position where he and Rakitic calmed down.

There are too many people, and the defense of the Chinese team is also stretched. Modric suddenly gave the ball to Rakitic after attracting two defensive players.

Rakitic was about to pass the ball, but Mandzukic didn't run out of the corner of the eye, so Rakitic simply shot himself.

After kicking the ball, Rakitic shook his head first. The ball was played with little power. Mandzukic didn't even have the desire to grab the second point. The Chinese players also turned around and ran forward, waiting for Yan Junling to pick up the ball and start attacking.

But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and there was a commotion in the audience. The referee pointed to the middle circle, "What's going on?"

Mu Fei turned his head to look, and was shocked that the ball rolled into the goal of the Chinese team.

"how is this possible?"

Everyone didn't know what happened at that moment just now, but the goalkeeper Yan Junling knelt on the ground and covered his head, looking extremely annoyed.

Li Guo saw it clearly, maybe he was too nervous, Yan Junling lost his hand while saving the low-threatening ball, the ball slipped past his hand and rolled into the goal.

For the unexpected goal, the Croatian players were not overjoyed, but simply celebrated. On the Chinese side, Zheng Zhi, Micro Motion, and Feng Xiaoting all ran back, and teammates comforted Yan Junling.

"It's okay, get up."

Yan Junling was annoyed in his heart. After finally making the first start, he performed so poorly. He deserved to be a substitute.

Li Guo knew Yan Junling's mood at this time, but unexpectedly, Li Guo not only failed to comfort Yan Junling, but also asked Wang Dalei to come out to warm up immediately.

The meaning is very clear, Li Guo will not sympathize with a player who performs poorly, you have to prove yourself in the next game, or let me down.

All the players on the field saw this scene, especially Yan Junling. Li Guo didn't take care of him, but let him quickly get rid of the shadow. Anyway, at most he was replaced, so what else?

"You don't have to comfort me, I'm a professional player."

Everyone stopped talking nonsense and ran back to their positions. The Chinese team kicked off in the middle circle.

For this game, Li Guo basically let it go and did not interfere too much. Winning or losing is not important, the important thing is training.

Park Shuang took the ball in the frontcourt, and the Croatian defensive player Vida stepped forward to defend. Vida has a very distinctive image, with blond and long hair, but he is very sturdy, and he looks like a very fierce player.

Vinda had already demonstrated his strength in the European Cup two years ago, and his defensive interception area was very large.

Park Shuang is not afraid of such a big player, he has already thought about what to do before he catches the ball, only to see Park Shuang pass the ball with a trick kick, which is too unexpected for the opponent, Vader did not make a second defensive move.

The ball was passed to Ji Ke, and the two had become golden partners. They had a good understanding. Ji Ke turned around and shot under the close defense of Joel Luka, and the ball was firmly hugged by Croatian "superior" goalkeeper Subasic.

Although he didn't score a goal, Li Guo still smiled knowingly. The players on the field will use their own brains, which is very good.

Seeing that Pu Shuang and Ji Ke formed a cooperation, Zhang Yuning was unwilling to be lonely, and stepped forward and said, "Brother Pu, pass me a ball too."

Pu Shuang felt that forming a triangular cooperation was more threatening, so he said, "Yes, but whether you can catch it or not is up to you."

Zhang Yuning nodded.

Soon, the Chinese team's ball came to Park Shuang's feet again. This time, the Croatian players prepared in advance, knowing that he would pass to the tall man in front.

Zhang Yuning on the wing wanted to run, but he didn't know how to run. He knew nothing about Pu Shuang's passing habits, so he couldn't send a WeChat to ask first.

And Zhang Yuning can't run too fast, or he will be offside, Zhang Yuning finally just walked forward slowly.

Just when the Croatian players thought their defense was foolproof, Park Shuang suddenly passed the ball behind the Croatian defenders.

Zhang Yuning, who was taking a walk at this time, saw the opportunity and quickly stepped in. Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him. Subasic's first reaction was to check with the linesman. Is the opponent offside?

As a result, the lineman did not raise the flag, but Zhang Yuning had already cut in.
