There is a belief called football

Chapter 265 Intermission and Tactical Adjustment

After Belgium conceded the ball accidentally, they were beaten by the Chinese team for a few minutes, which was caused by their head coach "Wilmotz".

In the history of world football, there have been many successful players in their careers, but they are completely rookies after becoming the head coach. The most familiar ones are Brazil's "Zico", Argentina's "Maradona", and Belgium's "Wilmotz" is likely to follow in their footsteps.

Wilmots, who has a successful player career, has not proven himself as a head coach. Inexperience is his biggest shortcoming. He is not like Stan, who has stepped up steadily from the youth training coach to the club head coach, and finally to the national team head coach.

After Belgium conceded the ball, it was the time when the players were not unified. Some wanted to attack fiercely and get the score back immediately, while others wanted to be steady. All of this required the head coach to speak out one last word to give the players reassurance.

But Wilmots didn't say anything. He looked at his watch. The first half was almost over. He just hoped that the first half would end quickly so that he could discuss it with his assistant during the intermission.

Stan had already seen it. He swung his arms like a big windmill, and at the same time kept shouting at his players. He asked the players to score another goal when Belgium's foothold was not stable.

Stan was whipping at the back, and it was impossible for the players of the Chinese team to stop. Li Qiao and Lin Zhijian continued to make breakthroughs on the side.

After Li Qiao broke through, he was about to cross with his left foot. The Belgian right back made a sideways sliding tackle, while Li Qiao was a "fake fax buckle".

In this way, Li Qiao can use his familiar right foot to make a cross. In the penalty area, Hao Junmin is at the front and Ding Mu is at the back.

Li Qiao aimed at the goal and made a pass with the fallen leaf kick. Even if all his teammates missed the pass, it could still pose a threat to the goal.

Facing the flying ball, Hao Junmin, who is in the front point, is playing a screen, and his role is to fight off the opponent's defensive player in the front point, so as to pass the ball.

But at this time, it is the Belgian air bully-Van Buyten who is defending at the front point.

He didn't need to jump too much to push the ball out of the penalty area. After successfully clearing the siege, Van Buyten yelled at his teammates. Van Buyten used to be the captain of Belgium. Later, because he was old, he let Xian give it to Kompany.

The same is true for Kompany on the side. He decided to take up his responsibilities. The captain is actually half of the coach on the field. He called Fellaini and asked him to inform his teammates to unify his mind. There are 2 minutes before the halftime break. Now he will focus on defense.

As soon as the mind was unified, Belgium's superior strength was immediately revealed. In the remaining 2 minutes, the Chinese team appeared completely passive in the midfield.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Stan immediately made a change. He called the Chinese team's midfield metronome "Zheng Zhi".

"Steady, pass back if you can't, and you must return to the locker room with a score of 1 to 1," Stein said.

Then Stan called the right back "Zhang Chengdong" and said to him: "Tell Wang Dalei, if there is a chance to get the ball, delay it, and never open his feet unless the opponent comes up to grab it."

After completing the two-point arrangement, Stan finally sat back on the coach bench and waited for the whistle at the end of the first half.

When the pointer on the clock reached 45 minutes, Weber blew the whistle to end the first half. Because he was an old acquaintance, Kompany came over and patted Weber on the shoulder. There are many players in Belgium who play in the Premier League. Weber is also British, and many of them have become friends.

But it may be that they were not satisfied with the score in the first half. The Belgian players did not stay on the field too much, and they all hurried back to the player tunnel. Obviously they also expected the 15-minute intermission, and the coach's face would not be very good.

On the other hand, the Chinese team is completely different. The players did not go back to the locker room immediately, but waved at the Chinese fans’ stands. Because the distance from Brazil is too far, there are very few domestic fans.

After a short stay, the players began to run back to the player tunnel. Stan was uncharacteristically, this time he didn't leave early this time, but stood at the entrance of the player tunnel, waiting for everyone to come back. Every time he passed by, he gave them a high-five.

After high-fiving the last player, goalkeeper Wang Dalei, Stan followed everyone back to the locker room.

*****
The locker room is larger than usual in domestic stadiums, probably because this stadium was built specifically for the World Cup.

There is a large tactical board and an LCD TV mounted on the wall on one wall. Directly opposite the tactical board is the place where the players hang their jerseys and change clothes.

The design of the locker room is very simple, with a lot of space. If you use the net in the middle, you can play a game of tennis without any problem.

"Everyone did a good job in the first half," Stein said.

"Stan, it's rare for you to flatter others," Qi Bing said.

"Haha, that's usually not enough for me to praise, but I performed well on the stage of the World Cup, so I can't do without praise",
The faces of the players were full of joy. No matter how they played in the second half, if they could score a goal, the goal of the first game would be considered accomplished. The last time the Chinese team entered the World Cup, they failed to score a goal in three games.

"Li Weifeng, warm up, you come in after 15 minutes of the second half, we must take at least one point from Belgium in this game",
"It seems that Stan is going to set the bus in the second half", everyone thought to themselves.

Li Weifeng got the order and immediately started wearing leg guards.

"what"?
"Coach, wear shin guards",
"Just warm up here, let Qi rate accompany you, and you have to listen to my midfield tactical arrangement",
"This"?
Stan looked around and said with a smile: "This is more than enough for a game of indoor football".

Li Weifeng saw that it was really true, so he wore only socks and not even sneakers, and warmed up by passing balls to each other indoors.

"Well, boys, look here, look here",
Everyone refocused on Stan.

"In the first 15 minutes of the second half Belgium would have gone crazy," Stein said.

"If you know this, then why don't you replace Li Weifeng from the beginning", everyone thought.

Although no one said this, Stan only needs to see the erratic eyes of everyone, and he knows what these people are thinking.

"Qi Bing",
"exist",
Hearing Stan calling him, Qi Bing stood up abruptly.

"What would you do if someone beat you up"?
"what"?
Qi Bing didn't react.

"Just tell the truth",
"I definitely won't sit still," Qi Bing said.

Stan snapped his fingers and said: "Yes, you must be wondering, since I know Belgium will bombard us indiscriminately in the first 15 minutes of the second half, why didn't I strengthen the defense from the beginning?"
In fact, there is no need for Stan to explain now, and everyone has almost understood. Are you ready to be beaten if someone wants to beat you?

"Belgium must have never imagined that we dared to play against them 15 minutes before the second half. It really doesn't matter if we concede another goal, but Belgium can't afford to lose. If they are attacked by us again, the saliva of domestic fans will drown them."

After listening to Stan's words, the players admired him sincerely. Coach Stan has a clear understanding of the opponent's psychological activities.

Stan wrote a few words on the tactical board, "15 minutes before the second half, we recovered to 433 and played against the opponent."

"What about 15 minutes later"?Qi Bing asked.

"I will arrange it, I don't need to tell you now",
"What about the target?"Chen Fei asked.

"What target"?
"Coach, since you ordered, then there is always a goal, what we did in the first 15 minutes is in line with your requirements"?
The reason why Chen Fei asked this question is because the instructions of European youth training coaches are very detailed. For example, the coach will say, "Our goal in the first 20 minutes of the first half is to have a ball possession rate of more than 50% and a pass success rate of more than 80%."

Stan thought for a while and said: "If you don't concede a goal in the first 15 minutes, then you have completed the task."

*****
Back on the court, Dong Zhou set up water bottles on the sidelines. The blue styrofoam thermostat box on the side contained sports drinks. The water was used to cool down the players, such as rinsing their mouths, or pouring it on their heads. But Dong Zhou would strictly control the temperature of the drinks in their stomachs, not too cold, and of course not too hot.

After replenishing the water, the players still formed a circle to cheer each other on as usual, but this time the slogan was changed to "No goals conceded in the second half".

After the Chinese team took their positions, the Belgian players arrived late. Judging by their expressions, they probably got scolded during the intermission.

As expected, Belgium made a substitution at the beginning of the second half. They replaced the offensive midfielder "Moussa Dembele" and removed a defensive midfielder "Witsel". The formation may also change. It is estimated that only Fellaini will be left as a midfielder.

In fact, this does not require Stan's wisdom. Any fan should have predicted that if the recognized "weak team" China team draws, it will be a failure for Belgium, and it is reasonable to replace it with an offensive midfielder.

After the replacement, Weber looked at his watch, a whistle sounded, and the second half began.

I don't know if it's really something, or it's just playing a big game. Ten seconds after the start of the second half, the Belgian coach Wilmots was late and came out from the player tunnel. Just as he walked to the corner and prepared to sneak into the coach's bench, he glanced at the situation on the field.

Just at this glance, Wilmots cursed in his heart, he couldn't believe his eyes, "The Chinese team has turned into 433, there are really people in this world who are not afraid of death"?
