There is a belief called football

Chapter 627 Fighting Russia ([-])

Stan returned to the bench and smiled at Queiroz, "You're right, Russia's blind fight really succeeded."

Queiroz thought to himself: "What is blind play? Long pass is also a very popular style of play in world football."

"Stan, should you change?"

Stan shook his head, "There's no way, our two best central defenders are all on the field, and Juba's bull can't be forced down."

"Then what to do, Russia is likely to keep lobbing the ball into the penalty area, and Juba may also go in again."

Stan crossed his legs and said leisurely: "The old way".

"The old way"?
"Bring Li Qiao back",
Stan pointed to a large area in front of the penalty area, "the Russian pass happened in this area."

"If this area is under control, then Russia will pass a birdie." After speaking, Stan snapped his fingers.

Soon, Li Qiao retreated to the midfield like the previous game, and the effect was immediate.

Li Qiao and Wang Kong are like "Iniesta" and "Busquets" in the Spanish team, and the control of the midfield area has been strengthened.

Slutsky knew that he had to get the ball back. As long as he had the ball, Russia would definitely have a solution.

With a gesture from the head coach, Neustadter and Desagoyev pressed up together.

Coupled with Shatov, Russia formed a fierce stealing triangle in the midfield, ready to steal Li Qiao at any time.

Wang Kong didn't notice this. He trusted Li Qiao as always, and passed the ball to Li Qiao. As soon as Li Qiao got the ball, Russia's stealing triangle began to gather.

The distance between the three points is getting closer, and Li Qiao has already noticed this, Shatov is behind, Neustedt and Desagoyev are in front.

The best thing to do at this point is to...

Fried meatballs.

Yes, Iniesta's stunt.

Li Qiao dribbled the ball with his left foot, passed Neustadt, and then touched the ball with his right foot, passed Desagoyev, one left and one right, just passed the two midfielders who intended to close the goal.

"It's so beautiful", even the Russian commentator at the scene couldn't help shouting.

Shen Fangjian was even stunned, and it took a few seconds to shout: "Li Qiao is still running forward, I hope this attack can be coordinated."

In fact, the more beautiful the dribble is, the more everyone looks forward to it, looking forward to scoring goals, otherwise such a beautiful dribble will be wasted.

There were not many Chinese fans at the scene, but a kind of restlessness could be clearly felt. This restlessness is the expectation of scoring goals.

A hero with three gangs, while Li Qiao dribbled forward with the ball, his teammates were also cooperating in running positions. Ding Mu ran sideways and took away a central defender. Zhang Yuning retreated, but another Russian central defender did not follow.

Liao Lisheng was dumb. He should have been inserted into the penalty area at this time, but he didn't. Lin Zhijian on the other side was much more decisive and mature.

He has been watching Li Qiao, as long as Li Qiao goes straight, Lin Zhijian will start.

Li Qiao also realized that there was a good opportunity for Lin Zhijian. When he ran to the front of the penalty area, Li Qiao kicked straight, and Lin Zhijian started instantly like a hunter.

This kind of pass and run was just right, the Russian full-back had no time to retract, and Lin Zhijian made an inverted triangle pass back to the small penalty area after hitting the bottom.

The ball reached Zhang Yuning's feet, and the little guy never dreamed that the opportunity would fall in front of him, so he shot right away.

It was too close to the goal, and Akinfeev couldn't do anything about it.

"I scored a goal, I scored a goal".

What an honor it is to be able to score goals in the World Cup, for many people it is worth remembering for a lifetime.

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yuning rushed to the bench, shouting incessantly: "I scored a goal, I scored a goal".

Before rushing in front of Stan, Zhang Yuning was pushed to the ground by his teammates and held down on the ground to celebrate together.

"I scored a goal"! ! !
At the end of the celebration, Zhang Yuning's eyes were wet. In this national team, he is not a big name or a star, but he is very strong and has a stubborn personality. This goal is an inspiration for his future career.

In the end, Zhang Yuning did not forget to hug Li Qiao and Lin Zhijian who assisted him.

"Not bad, not bad, it didn't fly," Li Qiao said with a smile.

"It's much better than when I was the first time," Lin Zhijian said.

Zhang Yuning scratched his head, "Then you two pass the ball to me more, I still want to perform a hat-trick."

"Damn, you're so confident, this little guy," Li Qiao thought.

Li Qiao touched Zhang Yuning, "Your brother Li Qiao hasn't performed a hat-trick yet."

After speaking, the three of them laughed.

"Factually speaking, the strength of this Russian team is really mediocre," said BBC commentator Martin Taylor.

"The Chinese team's tactics are richer. They can play on the wing or cooperate in the midfield. When necessary, they can also pass through the midfield, and their ability to grab points in the penalty area is not bad."

"But the Russian team can only rely on physical advantages. As time goes by and physical fitness declines, this advantage of the Russian team will disappear."

Martin Taylor is right, at the World Cup level, it is impossible to win with the body, which is why the long pass only stays in some low-level leagues.

After the Chinese team scored again, the Russian team did not counterattack immediately as expected, but was a little sluggish.

Stan knew they were tired.

"The big Russian bear is dead," Stan says to Queiroz.

"Physical bottlenecks will recover soon. Don't underestimate the fighting spirit of the Russians."

Stan knew it too, but Stan just didn't like the Russians very much. For no reason, Stan walked to the sidelines again, waving his fingers and asking the players to speed up.

So the situation on the scene was reversed, the Chinese team played around the Russian team, and the ball was passed back and forth in the Russian penalty area.

Many fans will have questions, everyone is playing football, why is there a difference between a weak team and a strong team?

In fact, the main gap lies in two aspects, the usual training is 50%, and the other 50% is the player's awareness.

That is to say, the understanding of football. The level of Chinese players is higher than that of Russian players, and their understanding of football is better than that of Russia. Therefore, when passing in the midfield, Chinese players can predict the movement of the ball.

In this way, when the Chinese players are in possession of the ball, the Russians cannot grab it, and they are passive on the scene.

The reason why Spain's pass control is number one in the world is because their players always think a few steps more than you.

This is the change that Stan brought to Chinese football - a real understanding of football.

"Have you heard that? Now there are boos at the scene. The boos are not for the Chinese team, but for the Russian team," Shen Fangjian said.

Shen Fangjian was inside the stadium, and he could clearly hear the sound of the scene.

On the pitch, China was passing the ball back and forth in front of Russia's penalty area, and Russia hadn't won possession back for several minutes.

This made the Russian fans as the host feel that they couldn't hold up their face. As the host, Brazil was at least beaten to death, while Russia was beaten to its knees.

Finally, the Russian players began to scramble in the midfield, while the Chinese players opened up the distance between each other, and resolved Russia's crazy press through fast passing.

Slutsky was at a loss, and now he has to admit that there is a gap between Russia and the Chinese team, and the gap is not small.

"If you know this, you won't take the initiative to avoid Brazil. Maybe Brazil is better at playing," Slutz thought.

In fact, Russia deliberately took the second place in the group in the last round of the group stage. The purpose was to avoid Brazil. Now it seems that they are shooting themselves in the foot.

After a steal, Neustedt kicked the ball forward, because the Russian formation had been flattened by the Chinese team, so when the ball reached Jiuba's feet, he was still outside the penalty area. Jiuba looked at the Chinese team's penalty area. With his size, it would be impossible to pass Zhou Dun and Wei Xiao.

Djuba, who left the penalty area, was like a fish leaving the water. In desperation, Djuba passed the ball back to Shatov.

Seeing that a fast break turned into a positional battle, the Russian fans were annoyed. In a blink of an eye, the Chinese team's defensive formation had been arranged.

Shatov was just a few seconds slower, but in the World Cup stage, a few seconds means an out or a goal.

The camera swept across the stands, and there was a sudden exclamation at the scene. It turned out that Capello appeared in the stands.

The lens language of the camera lens may be, if Capello is still there, will we be beaten like this by the Chinese team? ?
Under continuous blows, Russia's defense finally opened up. Li Qiao, Wang Kong, and Lin Zhijian cooperated in a triangle and passed the ball into the penalty area. Finally, Ding Mu in the penalty area completed the final blow.

3 to 1! !

The beautiful Russian girl in the stands was crying, snuggling into the arms of her boyfriend, who was comforting him.

It has been played like this, and the Chinese players did not celebrate too much to stimulate the host. After a simple high-five, the Chinese players ended their celebration.

Slutsky felt that his fate might be the same as Scolari's, but Russia and Brazil are different. The goal set by the Russian Football Association before the game is to qualify for the group and strive for the quarter-finals. At least the Russians dare not think about the Hercules Cup.

So if Russia loses today, Russia will cry, but tomorrow everyone will laugh.

At this moment, the most annoying group of people appeared, that is England fans, they set off fireworks at the scene and sang songs satirizing Russia loudly.

The referees on the court became more and more uneasy, because the situation was not good, and the English seemed to be deliberately making trouble.

The referee is communicating with the fourth official, and the fourth official is communicating with the event organizer.

With a bang, Stan walked out of the bench, and it turned out that England fans lit a bigger fireworks.

"Stan, it looks like there's going to be trouble," Queiroz said.

Stan chuckled, "What are you afraid of, we are ahead anyway."
