World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 69 Golden State Returns
With a whistle from the Argentine referee, the first match of the Chinese team's World Cup officially began.

"First, let me introduce the starting players of both sides."

"The Chinese team is playing a 442 formation today, and the starting goalkeeper is No. 1 Jiang Jin."

"The four guards from left to right are Wu Chengying, General Fan, Zhang Yanhua and Sun Jihai."

"The two midfielders are Li Tie and Peng Weiguo, and the two midfielders are Ma Mingyu and Zhang Xiaorui."

"On the front line, Horton sent Zhang Yuxie and Su Maozhen as partners."

"In this starting lineup, there are two players from the Jianlibao youth team that just won the Toulon Cup, and a striker from Liaozu A B, and the remaining nine players are from A A."

"For Denmark, Schmeichel is the starting goalkeeper."

"The defenders are Schjönberger, Ripert and Jess Hogg."

"Helveg, Kolding, M Laudrup, Weghorst and Jorgensen in midfield."

"The forwards are Laudrup Jr. and Sander."

"In the European qualifiers, Denmark defeated Croatia and directly qualified for the top spot in the group. The Chinese team also won the top spot in the group and directly qualified for the World Cup."

"Denmark takes the lead."

"Breakthrough of Helveg on the 6th."

"I was decisively brought down by Li Tie stretching his legs."

"The young player Li Tie was very active after the opening, and he didn't have stage fright at all."

However, the good times didn't last long. In the 10th minute, it was Li Tie's flying shovel, which shoveled Jorgensen to the ground.

This time, the Argentine referee didn't talk nonsense, and directly showed Li Tie a yellow card.

"Li Tie played too hard." Huang Jianxiang commented.

"It's not a problem for the Dane to pass the ball, after all, it's in the midfield."

"This is the first yellow card the Chinese team has received in this game."

Huang Jianxiang said this inadvertently, but the fans listened intently.

"I really don't know what Zhuxie is thinking. Why did you take Li Tie to the World Cup again? It's fine to go, and let him play as the starter?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, before the goal is scored, a yellow card will be received first. If this continues, maybe the game is not over yet, and no one will play on the field!"

"I really don't know what Li Tie is doing. Why are you so tight in this place? What if you let him go?"

The fans babbled and pointed at the stadium, as if they had returned to last year's Golden State.

However, after Li Tie received this yellow card, the number of Danish threats and attacks gradually increased.

In the 18th minute, Ripert of Denmark took a free kick, Weghorst nodded the ball forward, Sander stepped in with his heel and kicked the ball high, facing Jiang Jin who was attacking.

In the 25th minute, Denmark took a corner kick from the left, and Laudrup made a strong shot from outside the penalty area, which also went above the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Denmark scored a free kick into the national football penalty area.

Schjomberg returned the ball to the top, followed by Weghorst volleying directly with his left foot, and the ball was once again higher than the crossbar of the Chinese team.

Seeing this, Horton fell silent, and the fans in front of the TV also started cursing.

"This is completely overwhelming!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you keep playing like this, you will lose the ball sooner or later!"

"What are the team members doing? Attack, attack!"

As the so-called layman watches the fun, the expert watches the doorway.

After seeing Jorgensen miss another shot due to his own fault, Horton turned around and muttered to the consultant beside him.

"What are they talking about?"

Seeing that Horton didn't intend to discuss with the coaching staff, Jin Chi and the two could only find Zeng Zheng, who was holding the back of his head on the coach's bench and looking lazy, to ask what happened.

After listening to a few words, Zeng Zheng pointed to the midfielder and said, "Denmark's frontcourt organization and shooting ability are very strong."

"As long as the ball passes the midfield, it can hit our goal and finally form a shot."

"A few shots just now were either free kicks or corner kicks. They went directly over the midfield, making the midfield defense useless."

"Horton is thinking about how to let them play positional battles with us honestly, and then let the players commit fewer fouls."

Jin Chi and the two looked at each other after hearing this.

They only saw that Denmark had a few more shots in a row in the past few 10 minutes, and they only wanted to strengthen the defense in the backcourt and don't let them shoot easily.

But now it seems that these are all ways to change the soup without changing the medicine.

"Xiao Zeng, look, what shall we do?"

"What should I do? What else can I do? Our strength is here." Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes, "Let the people in front step back and strengthen the defense in the midfield!"

"In addition to Li Tie, the other three midfielders have also stepped up their intensity."

"If you can't hit the ball, Denmark will naturally have fewer shots."

After hearing this, Shangbin immediately discovered the inadequacy of this tactic.

"The forwards all retreated to participate in the defense. Let's talk about whether we can play offensively. The problem is that if the other three midfielders play strong defense, what should we do if they all get cards? The first half is not over yet, and the second half will play with cards. , but it won't last long!"

"Coach Chi, it's already the World Cup, why are you so timid?"

Zeng Zheng snorted lightly, "If you don't fight now, when will you fight? Do you really wait until the finals?"

"Don't talk about you, I don't think I can wait for that day!"

"What's the point of eating a card? What about the red one?"

"Anyway, we have brought 22 people, and their strengths are not far behind. We will get the cards when we should."

"If you don't take the card now, you will lose the ball when the time comes!"

After hearing this, Chi Shangbin frowned and remained silent, obviously thinking about the feasibility of Zeng Zheng's tactic of "using yellow cards to reduce the number of shots taken by the opponent".

Jin Zhiyang on the side was also a little anxious.

"Xiao Zeng, besides this, is there no better way? For example, in the second half, let's make some adjustments?"

"Coach Jin, if there is a better candidate, why can't he play in the starting lineup?" Zeng Zheng didn't give Jin Zhiyang any face, "It's not that he doesn't want to have a good idea, there really isn't one!"

"This is the World Cup, we only have this ability!"

"If you don't work hard to narrow the gap, just wait to lose!"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zheng Erlang turned his legs up and said absolutely no more.

In the 34th minute, Ma Mingyu blasted a long shot 40 meters away from the Danish penalty area, causing the stands to scream again and again.

"Ma Mingyu shoots!!!"

"Oh"

"The ball was hit high!"

"This is the Chinese team's first shot in the first half!"

This is also the first shot of the Chinese team in the World Cup.

Although he didn't hit the door frame, he finally kicked his first kick.

Schmeichel didn't even move.

After the ball flew out of bounds, I asked the caddy for another football.

Ma Mingyu wiped the sweat from his temples, his face was full of unwillingness.

Know there is a gap.

I thought I would catch up after running hard.

But I didn't expect it to be so big!
Denmark then followed up and launched an attack.

Laudrup swayed away from Wu Chengying on the left and passed to the penalty area with one kick, but Jiang Jin lifted the crossbar with one hand.

After Li Tie had the card, the national football midfielder was useless.

"Zhang Xiaorui, don't always think about attacking, retreat to the midfield for me, and participate in defense first!"

Under the order of Zeng Zheng's voice transmission, Zhang Xiaorui gritted his teeth and honestly participated in the defense.

But he wasn't born defensively.

After defending a few times, he was either forced by the opponent, or passed by two and one.

Here, Denmark threw the ball far into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team through a strong hand throw.

Laudrup Jr. stopped the ball in the chest and then poked the ball with his heel. The ball was saved by Jiang Jin bravely.

After getting the ball, Sun Jihai from the wing was just about to protect the ball when a loud shout came from his ear.

"Run forward, run!!!"

Is it Boss Zeng? !
Without hesitation, Sun Jihai took a big step and rushed forward along the right path.

At this time, the two midfielders closest to Sun Jihai were facing the other direction.

When they noticed that Sun Jihai was speeding up with the ball, it was too late to turn around and chase after him.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Jihai rushed across the midfield.

By the time the Danish defender stepped aside to block Sun Jihai from the middle, the young Wanda player had already brought the ball to the front of the Danish penalty area.

At this time, Zhang Yuxi was running alone in the penalty area in Denmark, and there were three defenders marking him.

Sun Jihai had no choice but to flick the ball horizontally and cut inward to the middle.

After avoiding a defender, Sun Jihai repeated his old trick and tried to use the change of rhythm to pass the second player.

But Ripert, who came after him, didn't give Sun Jihai another chance.

With a shovel of both legs, Sun Jihai was directly shoveled in front of the penalty area.

"Beep!!!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the Chinese team won a set kick in the frontcourt.

Seeing the position of the set ball, many international footballers who were still dragging their feet in the backcourt lit up, immediately raised their arms, and strode forward.
