Golden Greenery

( ) Mario made a diagonal pass from the frontcourt at a 45° angle. Seat B on the other side penetrated the Chinese team’s ribs and a header missed the goal.

Only two minutes into the game, Portugal was stunned.

No matter how much the opponents tout it, no matter how the outside world complains, the Chinese team knows very well that there is still a significant gap in overall strength between itself and the top players in football. He has the ability to upset, but there is no reason to upset him in every game.

Everyone knows why the outside world thinks highly of the Chinese team. This is the same reason that no one in the martial arts world dared to look down on the Beggars Gang during the Southern Song Dynasty.

But even so, in the face of the turbulent public opinion about "winning the championship" before the game, Zhuo Yang, after discussing with the coaching staff, followed the trend and revealed his goal of winning the championship.

"There is a first time for everything. Only seven teams have won the championship in the century-old World Cup history, but each of them has their own first time. Why can't the Chinese team do the same?"

"Our goal is to win the championship and become the eighth team to win the World Cup this year."

At this moment, the Chinese team became the first team to publicly declare that it wanted to win the championship.

European and American people are generally more assertive than Chinese people in terms of character. This is due to culture. But in football, everyone is still used to leaving some room for themselves and not talking too much.

Before the World Cup, the only teams that had a clear goal of winning the championship were Germany, Brazil, and Argentina, but they all said "do your best." The other teams were even more modest in each game, for fear of becoming the target of public firepower. In fact, it means that a biting dog does not bark.

The Chinese have always been humble and low-key. Not to mention not winning the championship, even if they take home the championship, they still want to say "praise from their peers." However, this time they shouted "win the championship" for the first time. Where does the confidence come from?

It is precisely because of the factor of confidence. After leaving Asia, the Chinese team still has not escaped the mentality of an underdog. There is a general lack of confidence in the team. This is quite fatal when entering the knockout rounds, especially at the critical moment of the match point. If you can't bite it, you can't hold it in, and if you can't hold it in, it's easy to stretch your hips.

In response to this, Zhuo Yang took advantage of the situation and launched a championship declaration. Anyway, whether to win or not, the game will have to be played sullenly. First, let everyone know from the bottom of their hearts that they are also a strong team, and only then will they dare to make moves and take risks during the game.

So in this matter, Ronaldo is essentially inviting you into the urn, and Zhuo Yang is taking advantage of it. But from the perspective of a knowledgeable onlooker, as a European champion, Ronaldo's behavior is too small, and more seriously, it can even be said that he has gone astray, which is not his usual style.

The Chinese team has played against Portugal twice in history, both in friendly matches.

Lost both times.

Before the 2002 World Cup, Mi Jiajun lost 0:2 to the Portuguese football team led by Figo and Rui Costa in Macau. In March 2010, Zhuo Yang's national football team lost 2:3 to Ronaldo's Portugal in Coimbra. Eight years have passed, and only Wo Zhuo and Wo Luo were left in the starting lineups of both sides in that game.

.

After the opening, Portugal's No. 10 Jo Mario was very active. He played as a virtual left midfielder and actually played as an attacking midfielder. The ball was at his feet, and Ronaldo had to listen to his orders.

The 25-year-old Mario came from Lisbon's youth training. When he was in the B team, he had a good relationship with Chen Jiayu, who was similar in age, and the two are still in contact today.

Chen Jiayu is a Portuguese-Chinese born in Lisbon. His father is former national table tennis player Chen Shichao. Chen is one year older than Cai Zhenhua and was the first national table tennis player to immigrate abroad.

Chen Jiayu spent two years in Sporting Lisbon's youth training, mainly playing full-back. Later, he started playing in the lower leagues, 201 Loris Club. It was also this year that Chen Jiayu voluntarily gave up his Portuguese nationality and returned to China.

With the heart of serving the country, Zhuoyang and Sforza did carefully examine him, but his personal strength was indeed not enough, and he still failed to succeed in the end.

Last season, Chen Jiayu only made one friendly substitute appearance in the Portuguese Liga (second level) Covapidadi. Frankly speaking, it was difficult for him to be the main player in the Chinese Liga 1.

Jo Mario's activity is rooted in the foundation of Portugal's tactics - liberating Ronaldo.

In fact, being the head coach of the Chinese team, Portugal and Argentina is similar. It is easier said than done. Whether it is good or bad depends on whether they can fully unleash the offensive capabilities of Zhuoyang, Ronaldo and Messi.

No matter how hard they hide it, these three are also the core of their respective team's offense. They cannot deceive anyone. If they hide away, they will become the focus of their opponents' defense and isolation. How to relieve them and how to maximize their offense is the top priority of the head coach of the three countries.

At this point, Sforza did the best, and Santos basically passed the test. Argentina's coaches could only hehe, so they changed the most frequently.

201 used Moutinho as the attacking midfielder and used his ball control to liberate the defense around Ronaldo. Then he began to try to use B seats and B fees. Now he has obviously given this important task to Jo Mario. .

Sforza mainly made tactical adjustments. For example, today, Zhuo Yang was placed on the right, and his position was at the full midfielder.

The Chinese team laid out 4-5-1. There is nothing to say in the back. Yan, Ma Jiangdandong, Li Ke, Kadasi, Hao Junmin in the midfield, left and right C Zhe and Zhuo Yang, only one Gao La was placed in front. special.

Santos won the European Cup with defense, but the Chinese team was more cautious than him today.

Ronaldo, like Zhuoyang, is impossible to target. He can only compress and control the midfield as much as possible, reducing Ronaldo's chances of getting the ball, which also reduces his threat.

But it is impossible to completely reject Ronaldo, unless he is assassinated.

In the 4th minute, Mario suddenly dribbled the ball towards the ribs. Li Ke and C Zhe turned around quickly and quickly closed the door. Unexpectedly, this guy just feinted with a shot, deceived and then knocked across the ball.

Seat B caught the ball and moved back slightly. Cristiano Ronaldo followed up and fired directly from a long distance. The football flying against the ground was very challenging. Fortunately, Yan Junlin concentrated, moved two steps, knelt down on one knee and put it firmly in his arms.

As we all know, Ronaldo is a left winger. Even if he plays as a center forward, it is fake. His territory is near the left rib. But this shot shot to the right side of the Chinese team's defensive zone, which shows how rampant his activity area is.

This is the same as Brother Zha asking Zhuo Yang to retreat and change sides, all in order to use erratic and irregular movements to get rid of and confuse the defense.

On paper, Zhuoyang is the starting right midfielder, but anyone who thinks that he will stick to the right midfielder position is a fool.

After Ronaldo showed off, Zhuo Yang suddenly appeared on the left.

The ‘Brazilian three forwards’ among the eight players of the Chinese team are all quite capable, but they each have their own characteristics.

Exon is the strongest among the three in his ability to retreat and respond, and he is also the best among the three in solo action. When necessary, he can also play as a shadow forward or midfielder. His length can be compared to Juventus' Dybala.

A Lan is the fastest and the one with the strongest midfield attributes among the three. He is very versatile, and his breakthrough skills can make his opponents drink a pot. His style can be regarded as the same as Erwa.

Goulart's ability to grab points is the most outstanding, and he is also good at playing the ball. He can go to the side and center, and he can also be used as a striker. It is not wrong to call him a poor man's version of Giroud.

Another point is that Goulart's heading ability is the strongest among the 'three forwards'. Based on today's tactical needs, Sforza chose him as the starter.

In the 7th minute, Kadasi took the ball in the middle circle and advanced slowly. After Maro came down the right side, he passed the ball.

The Portuguese was on guard against this move. Even Cristiano Ronaldo pulled back to double-team Maro from the flank, but he suddenly turned to the left before waiting for the encirclement.

The Ronaldos turned around: Damn it, why did Zhuoyang go there?

Right back Pereira was frightened by Zhuoyang who suddenly appeared in front of him. He stretched out his foot in a hurry, but the ball was pulled by the outside instep and passed by.

The focus of Portugal's defense quickly shifted. Zhuoyang didn't waste any time. After getting out of the way of Pereira, he kicked the ball directly outside the corner of the penalty area.

The ball is very fast and the arc is sharp. The style is more like a shot from the back corner, but it is actually a pass.

Goulart flew up from behind and got a headbutt before Patricio's glove in the penalty area. It's so close, you can come in as soon as you say it.

1:0, the Chinese team took the lead with the first goal in the opening game. Boss Gao Qiu Gao made the final decision.
