Chapter 291 Fighting Italy ([-])
Seeing that Chen An was dumbfounded, Li Guo said, "I made it up, did it really scare you?"
"Fuck you, which pot is not open and which pot to lift."
"I was just joking, to ease the atmosphere, why are you so nervous."
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team fell behind 0-1, while on the other side, Brazil still led 4-0.
There are TVs in the dressing room and everyone saw the other game, Tahiti was the same as the previous two, it was miserable.
The only difference is that Tahiti's attack was more resolute in this game, and it is already barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
After a brief look at another game, Li Guo turned off the TV, and the first thing he said was - "Ji Ke, you will play in the second half."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Gelin lowered his head. His performance in the first half was indeed terrible, but Li Guo immediately said: "Jike, after you go up, you will disrupt the Italian defense line and give Chen Gelin space."
In this way, Ji Ke definitely did not replace Chen Gelin. Although Chen Gelin didn't talk much, it could be seen from his expression that his heart was ups and downs just now.
So the question is, who will Ji Ke replace?
The answer must be three people on the front line, Lin Zhijian, Pu Shuang, and Qu Bo.
But the three of them were not convinced. Why, in the face of Italy's defense, what else can we do?
In the end, Li Guo revealed the answer. He pointed to Chen Deng, "Take a rest in the second half."
This decision was a bit unexpected. With the weak playing against the strong, isn't it too many two defensive midfielders?Besides, Chen Deng did a good job of freezing Marchisio in the first half.
Li Guo went on to say, "Italy's offense mainly relies on layer-by-layer advancement and exquisite passing, not on speed, so it is the same if we have two more midfielders. For example, in the first half we conceded a goal. Even if we have 5 midfielders, the ball is the same, so we simply use offense instead of defense."
"Is that 442?" Qu Bo asked.
"No, 4141, Ji Ke came forward alone, Chen Gelin and Pu Shuang were behind Ji Ke, forming two shadow forwards."
In this way, everyone will understand.
In the locker room in Italy on the other side, Prandelli was always restless. It stands to reason that he should be very happy. The players executed the tactics he formulated before the game very well, as accurate as a computer program, but for some reason, Prandelli just couldn’t be happy.
This is not a superstition, nor is it a face-to-face meeting, but a kind of experience after being in the society for a long time. In short, this is how Prandelli feels.
*****
At the beginning of the second half, Italy did not make substitutions, but China replaced Ji Ke. Prandelli laughed after seeing it. This proved him to be right. If Li Guo did not make substitutions, it would be abnormal.
Chiellini kept fighting with Chen Gelin in the first half, but Chen Gelin retreated in the second half, and his defender became Ji Ke.
"My God, this guy is really tall!"
Looking at Ji Ke's height, Chiellini was also a little surprised, although he himself was quite tall.
Li Guo shouted from the sidelines: "Simple, simple, don't play in the middle."
The Chinese midfielder lacks a master midfielder like Pirlo or Riquelme. Zheng Zhi is good in Asia, but in the world, he is still far behind.
So playing simple is a smart choice.
After Fang Suo took the ball, he made a 40-meter long pass. The audience's eyes followed the ball in a big circle, and finally saw that the ball was too high and flew out of the baseline.
Giovinco and Shalawi on the Italian bench laughed, this guy is playing rugby.
Faced with the ridicule of the audience, Fang Suo didn't take it seriously. Li Guo said that if it doesn't work once, try a few more times. No one can succeed casually.
I often see Beckham and Pirlo throwing a 40-meter long pass on TV. Many people will mistakenly think that it is not difficult!
But in reality, it's like shooting from your own backcourt. It looks cool, but it's hard to do it.
The Chinese team tried many times in the backcourt, but all failed without exception. The ball either went directly out of the baseline, or the flying distance was not enough.
Chen An said to Li Guo: "If Zheng Zhi is replaced, Hao Junmin can actually hold the ball in the midfield. We are playing too ugly now."
"Ugly? In the World Cup in South Africa, New Zealand used such an ugly football to draw with Italy."
"New Zealand? Li Guo, are you out of your mind? New Zealand didn't go to South Africa, and it didn't leave Oceania at all."
Li Guo remembered that recently he often couldn't distinguish between the past life and the present, which is a normal situation after time travelling.
"It's not New Zealand, it's Ireland. Anyway, I remember it's a Lan."
Chen An is not Du Niang, and he can't remember it that clearly, but he still feels very upset when he sees the ball he has worked so hard to get in the backcourt being wasted time and time again.
*****
The smart Prandelli over there also knew Li Guo's intentions, but he didn't make any changes. Li Guo was gambling, and Prandelli was willing to gamble with him.
Ji Ke, who was at the front, was anxious. He passed so many kicks, but none of them was reliable.
The Italian midfielder is very smart. Every time the Chinese team players pass the ball, they go over to grab the ball, which puts great pressure on the Chinese team players.
Fonso was about to pass the ball, but Montolivo stretched his foot over, posing a risk of injury to Fonso, Fonso hesitated, and passed the ball back to Wang Dalei.
Italy pushed the Chinese team to this level, and they were very satisfied. Not only that, but they went one step further. Balotelli and Aquilani started at the same time to force the ball at Wang Dalei's feet.
There was a huge noise in the audience. The ball looked dangerous. Several of Wang Dalei's routes were blocked. More importantly, Wang Dalei could not hold the ball with his hands at this time (the goalkeeper could not catch the intentional return pass of his teammate with his hands at the first time).
Suddenly, Wang Dalei swung his kick and kicked the ball towards the Italian half. A miraculous scene happened. Wang Dalei made a quick clearance and flew to Ji Ke accurately.
Ji Ke jumped up and returned the ball to Chen Gelin in front of the penalty area, and then blocked Chiellini behind him himself, which is a bit like a pick-and-roll tactic in basketball.
Chen Gelin unloaded the ball with his instep, and there was only one Barzagli in front of him. Such an opportunity was like a one plus one math problem.
Passing by Barzali, Chen Gelin singled out Buffon, Buffon fully stretched his body, like an octopus, the best goalkeeper in the world is not bragging.
Chen Gelin felt that there was a wall in front of him, and finally Chen Gelin found that Buffon's crotch was empty.
Pushing the arch of the foot, Chen Gelin kicked the ball towards the goal. This is the most difficult way to shoot, and it is also the only way Chen Gelin can choose at this time.
Watching the ball slowly roll towards Buffon, Li Guo, Chen Gelin, the hearts of all Chinese players are hanging.
