Football irons are burning

Chapter 82 The Battle Between China and Mexico
After two days, Zheng Zhi's running became more active, and his offense and defense became more balanced.

Of course, freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and it is impossible to improve the ability in a few days.

Taking time off, Li Tie cured both Yang Cheng and Yao Xia of their injuries. They will definitely not be absent in the quarter-finals. They are the absolute main force.

Yang Cheng is fine, the brow bone is injured, which can be easily cured.

Yao Xia's ankle injury was relatively difficult to treat, and after some treatment, the villain's value was only 5 points.

Fortunately, both of them became lively and full of energy.

Healthy Yang Cheng and Yao Xia are obviously a very big threat to their opponents.

Seeing this scene on the training ground, Rehhagel was also quite satisfied.

On the last day of training, the team focused on the defense of the midfield and the backcourt. Rehhagel also tried to create a chain defense line in response to the Mexican players' good skills at their feet and quick shots.

During the training, Rehhagel still used the double midfielder tactics, but he tried several sets. Ma Mingyu and Zheng Zhi's double midfielder cooperation obviously did not shine in the Sino-German battle.

Therefore, Rehhagel rehearsed the combination of General Fan and Zheng Zhi, and switched to a three-back defense line, and the two could retreat at any time.

This effect is not bad.

Rehhagel also experimented with the combination of Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi, and this combination works best, both of them are very physically fit and can go up and down.

After training, Rehhagel basically finalized tomorrow's main lineup.

At the same time, the quarter-finals of the World Cup are also in full swing.

The first Italian team defeated the Norwegian team 1:0, reproducing the 1:0 doctrine.

Vieri scored the winning goal for the Italian team. Now he is in good form. Veteran Baggio is still playing off the bench, which makes many Baggio fans very dissatisfied.

But the team won, and no one questioned the formation of the old coach Maldini.

In another South American civil war, the Brazilian team beat the Chilean team 4:1. The alien Ronaldo scored twice and began to enter the fighting state.

This is a star-studded World Cup, and after entering the knockout rounds, the role of stars has become more prominent.

Both Vieri and Ronaldo are the pillars of their respective teams, and their performance directly determines the fate of the team.

A day later, the host French team defeated Paraguay 1-0 and advanced. Without the core Zidane, the French team played very hard.

Without home court advantage, it's hard to imagine them qualifying.

After the game, Paraguay's legendary goalkeeper Chilavert was very unconvinced, thinking that the referee helped the hosts advance.

In another game, the Danish team used tough tactics to defeat the talented African Eagle Nigeria team.

Although the Nigerian team had an absolute advantage in possession, the score was 4:1. The Laudrup brothers of the Danish team were very good and scored the team's four goals.

Although African players are talented, their overall performance is still not good enough in the World Cup.

On June 6, the Sino-Mexico battle started.

When the Chinese players entered the stadium, many people were still very surprised.

Rehagel's formation turned out to be a somewhat risky 4-3-3 formation.

Yang Cheng, Li Jinyu and Octopus are all on board, the three midfielders are Zhang Xiaorui, Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihai, the four defenders Wu Chengying, Wei Daxia, Fan General and Li Datou, and the goalkeeper Ou Chuliang.

This arrangement of troops obviously involved the opponent, who would have thought that Rehhagel would do this?

All three forwards have played, this is to attack the opponent.

Zhang Xiaorui behind them is also a purely offensive player who doesn't care about defense at all.

In this way, the role of Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihai will be infinitely magnified, otherwise, the entire midfield will be out of control.

When the time comes, the front and rear will be out of touch, and the national football team will undoubtedly lose.

Li Tie was still sitting in the stands, and Rehhagel's formation was indeed a bit imaginative.

But once the start is good, the opponent is not easy to deal with.

Of course he couldn't use his strength, so he could only hope for better luck today.

In the stands, there are more than two-thirds of the Chinese fans, and there are also a lot of Mexican fans. The two sides are fighting in the stands. The emoji packs are very rich. Collecting them is definitely enough for WeChat and QQ chats in the future.

But these two things are now gone.

Li Tie was influenced by the fans around him, and he also relaxed.

Originally, watching the football in the stands was quite uncomfortable, but it is no wonder that Li Tie is in a good mood watching his teammates struggle on the field.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team kicked off first.

Zhang Xiaorui took the ball and broke through immediately, but the Mexican players really had excellent skills.

Soon, he was intercepted.

However, the Mexican team's through pass to Hernandez in front did not pass Sun Jihai's level.

Sun Jihai broke the ball and gave it to Zhang Xiaorui. Zhang Xiaorui's breakthrough soon fell into a tight siege, but he still couldn't break through, and soon the ball broke again.

Rehagel off the court immediately rushed to the sidelines and asked him to pass the ball quickly without sticking to the ball.

"Pass the ball, don't stick the ball!" Rehhagel roared.

Zhang Xiaorui was startled, the old man seldom gets angry.

He quickly pushed it out, the ball ran to Yang Cheng's feet, Yang Cheng turned around and volleyed, and the ball slid out of the goal.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaorui didn't dare to stick to the ball anymore, and his passing became faster.

The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield.

At this time, the advantage of the double defensive midfielder is still brought out. Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihai's fighting ability is indeed good, and they are very targeted when dealing with flexible Mexican players.

Wei Daxia and Wu Chengying on the two wings also pressed very forward, and Yang Cheng and Li Jinyu kept retreating to grab their opponents. In the entire midfield, the Chinese team did not fall behind.

The height of the Mexican players is a flaw, and the Chinese team has an obvious advantage in competing for high-altitude balls.

In the 9th minute, Zhang Xiaorui made a pass with a oxtail at his feet, and then he kicked a pass. The octopus leaned on the opponent's defender, headed up, and the ball landed behind the two central defenders.

Yang Cheng rushed up and shot angrily, the ball hit the post hard and popped out.

Just when the audience was sighing, Li Jinyu rushed up and made a supplementary shot, and the ball went into the net. 1:0, the Chinese team took the lead.

This is his 4th World Cup goal!
This guy's ability to pick up leaks is amazing!

Li Jinyu excitedly rushed to the sidelines to bow and shoot the big eagle, and his teammates rushed forward to celebrate the goal.

The side that scores first in the knockout round will undoubtedly have a greater chance of passing.

The Chinese team, which was not favored before the game, has now scored first, which is a bit of a slap in the face.

In the previous games, without exception, the Chinese team scored first.

Rehhagel does have a set of formations for this attacking lineup.

Of course, I still have to praise Li Jinyu's ability to grab points, he ran very cleverly, the ball hit the post, and he was in this remote position.

Combining some of Inzaghi's abilities, Li Jinyu will also become an opportunist, and it is estimated that he will score a lot of goals in the future.

Now he is also leading the scorer list. Although there are many goals in this year's World Cup, the number of individual goals is still not high.

In several consecutive World Cups, the number of goals scored by the top scorer is not high. The number 6 is not easy to break through. Let's see if anyone can break through this time?

If the Chinese team goes further, it will be difficult to say. In addition to Li Jinyu, Yang Cheng also scored 3 goals.

Li Tie also waved his arms happily. Of course, he hopes that the team can go on forever. If he accidentally enters the final, maybe Rehhagel can still stage the Kaiserslautern myth, and he also has a chance to come back. Who wouldn't want to win the Hercules Cup?
