Midfielder Ruler

The fanatical atmosphere surrounding the Pernambuco Arena is still the same. Fans on both sides know that there can be no neglect at this time, so they created a huge cheer, especially Chinese fans. They watched the national team they supported suppressing Costa Rica. That sense of pride and superiority is particularly strong and must be vented.

As Lu Liang came to the right, the Chinese team's offensive focus was also put on the right.

Zhang Linpeng has always been good at assists. His speed, body and passing ability are very good, which led to Costa Rica's defense on the left side. Fortunately, the goalkeeper Navas performed well. Coupled with the poor striker Gao Lin of the Chinese team, Costa Rica To protect the goal.

In a blink of an eye, the game arrived for half an hour, and the live guide gave Lippi and Pinto a close-up shot while taking advantage of the relative stalemate.

The emotional color revealed on the faces of the two is obviously different from the beginning of the opening, or the expressions of the two are directly interchanged.

Lippi frowned before, but now Feng Shui took turns, pinning his brow tightly, thinking about how to break the situation.

The Chinese team's attack surprised him, especially since Tang Zheng had not directly participated in the attack.

What if Tang Zheng directly participated in the attack?

Thinking of this, Pinto really dare not imagine ...

In fact, Tang Zheng wanted to participate in the team's offense, but he was more worried about Costa Rica's quick counterattack. As a team that can often participate in the World Cup, Costa Rica itself has a certain strength.

The overall strength of the team ’s rear line is not comparable to the frontcourt, so Tang Zheng dare not go too far. After all, the captain Zheng Zhi is already 34 this year, and the speed is not as good as that of the year. it is also fine.

In the knockout, many times the competition is defense and patience.

Unless absolutely necessary, Tang Zheng will not leave his post without permission.

Because of the weakness of the striker line, the Chinese team's offense has always been a thunderstorm.

Lippi, the Chinese team coach, seemed to be standing on the sidelines in a seemingly calm manner, giving people a feeling of deciding to win a thousand miles away from the strategy. In fact, he was very worried about Costa Rica's quick counterattack.

The problem of not scoring for a long time is very obvious.

impatient!

Hao Junmin, Lu Liang, and Wu Sanshi tried long-range shots at the front of the penalty area respectively, but Costa Rican defensive players were almost full before and after the penalty area. The effect can be imagined.

Long shots either hit Costa Rican players or fired anti-aircraft guns.

Gao Lin, who had been waiting for opportunities in the penalty area, could not bear loneliness. He completed a half-turn and hit the door in a few opportunities to withdraw.

result?

Due to the interference of central defender Gonzalez, Gao Lin did not completely twist his body with his back facing the goal. The half-turn completed with his right foot hit the goal directly and kicked the ball to the right corner. The flag was outside, giving Costa Rica A sideline kick in the backcourt.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at the football that flew out of the sideline and froze for a while. He coughed a little after the sound: "Our offense is now too simple. We should organize the offense as patiently as we can and pass through the layers Advance, and then use the assault capabilities of the two sides to create opportunities. "

Shot directly kicked the ball out of the sideline, Gao Lin inevitably blushed old, but he is experienced in the game, he has his own way to deal with embarrassment.

His brow furrowed, his hands propped up on the turf, and then he walked to the shooting spot. His right foot stepped on a few feet, giving him a sense of turf unevenness.

Foreign TV stations that do n’t know much about Gao Lin ’s technical characteristics may think that uneven turf caused Gao Lin ’s shot to be too ridiculous, but Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV do n’t think so.

After all ... "Gao Aircraft" is not a worthy name in the Chinese Super League.

※※※

Costa Rica's backcourt sideline, several players from the Chinese team's frontcourt organized high-level oppression on the spot, forcing Costa Rican backcourt players who did not dare to play with fire in the backcourt.

In order to avoid the possibility of a counterattack on the Chinese team's frontcourt, Costa Rica's backcourt players have no choice but to make a big foot.

Perhaps the pressure was too great. Left-back Diaz received a pass from central defender Gonzalez and made a mistake. A big foot kicked the ball out of the sideline and the Chinese team won the frontline.

Zhang Linpeng jogged over to prepare for a throw-in, Tang Zheng shouted and made a palm-pressing gesture, indicating Zhang Linpeng slowed down.

Zhang Linpeng changed to run, Tang Zheng took the time to turn around and shouted at Lu Liang, Wu Sanshi, Hao Junmin and Gao Lin respectively: "Hey ~ Brothers, calm down, don't blindly shoot long, be patient! Rome is not a day Built! "

After all, Tang Zheng made a continuous press with palms close to his body.

Tang Zheng is very influential in the team, so they all nodded and said they knew.

Zhang Linpeng threw a sideline ball. The football did not rush to the penalty area or a long shot, but passed the ball to Tang Zheng's feet through an orderly pass. He decided the direction and method of the team's attack.

Football came more to Tang Zheng's feet, and the Chinese team's offense became smoother and more ornamental.

Costa Rica head coach Pinto is very depressed. His team did not encounter such a situation when encountering such strong teams as Uruguay, Italy and England. It was unexpected that it was so difficult to face the Chinese team.

As for why this is so, he knows why.

Because the current offensive of the Chinese team is around Tang Zheng, mainly ball control, using frequent transmission to find free time.

Tang Zheng transferred to Real Madrid last summer for a total price of 125 million euros. After a season of competition, he has proved himself to be a super player. He has scored 20+ goals and assists in the season. One of the heroes.

His ability to create opportunities may not be the first in Europe, but at least it can enter the top three, so Costa coach Ricardo Pinto took a moment to take the chance to take the captain Ruiz with a chance of a dead ball, adjust the game tactics.

Pinto's tactical adjustment is very simple, that is, leaving only a fast Campbell in the frontcourt as a counterpoint. The other nine players all contracted within their own 30 meters defense area, compressing the Chinese team's offensive space.

Except for Lu Liang and Hao Junmin who are more delicate at the frontcourt of the Chinese team, Gao Lin and Wu Sanshi both seem a bit rough, so the shrinking space has a great impact on the Chinese team's frontcourt offensive.

Regarding this situation, neither Lippi nor Tang Zheng are helpless.

Breaking through intensive defense has always been a worldwide problem, only through positioning and long shots.

In the case of long-range impossibility, the only chance is to wait for a set ball.

It was just that the game didn't wait until the end of the first half, and there was no good opportunity to set the ball. The two sides ended the first half with a score of 0: 0.

It is worth mentioning that although neither side scored in the first half, the game was not boring, and it can even be said to be full of appreciation.

The game between China and Costa Rica was opened for a period of time. You come and go, making the whole Pernambuco Arena climax.

At the end of the first half of the game, the situation was inclined to the Chinese team. Of course, this is directly related to the contraction of Costa Rica's defense, but it is not difficult to see that Tang Zheng's midfield line control is stronger than Costa Rica.

So the referee Eriksson just sounded the end of the first half whistle, and the central 5 commentator He Wei said optimistically: "If the second half of the game can continue the offensive at the end of the first half, I want to finally win the game. The team will be us! The quarterfinals? Why not? "

At the same time, the Costa Rican national TV commentator was a little unhappy. He said: "Our team should be more aggressive in the second half and full of aggressive offense. Tang's personal ability is too strong, and his area of ​​activity must also be limited. Otherwise ... the goal is worrying! Kyle Navas ’s stunning state is not omnipotent, and the battle must be solved by attack! "

Yang 5 commented that guest Gong Lei agreed with He Wei and nodded: "I think during the halftime break or Lippi should make detailed tactical adjustments for the team's offense, except for the complete suppression of Costa Rica at the end of the first half, in fact Most of the time in the first half of the game was chaotic, of course ... Tang Zheng with superb running coverage ability covered up some problems. If Lippi does not fine-tune the tactics in the second half, it is actually a hidden danger for his own defense. "

※※※

The fifteen minutes of the intermission quickly passed, and the second half changed sides again, and neither side made adjustments for the first half lineup.

The Chinese team with the kick-off advantage did not rush forward, but handed the ball to Tang Zheng, who organized the team's first wave of attack in the second half.

Except for Campbell, who was at the forefront, the other players retired to the half, waiting for the Chinese team to attack.

Tang Zheng looked in his eyes, pulled the ball back with his right foot, and then passed the ball to the right back Zhang Linpeng.

The reason why left-back Jiang Zhipeng was not given was because Tang Zheng felt that Jiang Zhipeng's condition had not been adjusted to the best, and that he was always habitually nervous, so it was a good choice to give the ball to Zhang Linpeng, who has a big heart.

The Chinese team controlled the ball in the backcourt. No one in Costa Rica came forward to oppress. Zhang Linpeng waited until Tang Zheng approached the ball before passing it.

Obviously, Costa Rica's tactics at the beginning of the second half were solid defense.

Regarding Costa Rica's defensive choice, Lippi talked about it during the halftime break. He asked the team not to rush for success and be patient. Once there is no passing angle in the frontcourt, the priority is not to deal with the ball blindly, but to Tang Zheng. .

Through continuous passing, both Tang Zheng and football came to attack the forty-meter area.

His vision is quite broad, and he can see that the Costa Rican defensive players are well protected between each other. Personal breakthroughs are difficult to succeed. Without any hesitation, he handed the ball to Hao Junmin who ran to the offensive right rib.

Hao Junmin, Wu Sanshi, Zhang Linpeng and Gao Lin formed a continuous cooperation on the attacking right, but Gao Lin made a mistake in a catch and stopped too far from the body. The football was obtained by Costa Rica midfielder Borges.

The Chinese team turned from attack to defense. The striker line and the midfield line did not oppress the Costa Rican players like the first half, but returned to their own half.

The World Cup is a tournament-based competition, with short time intervals and very demanding physical fitness.

Several players who played in the European League just ended a long season and then invested in the World Cup preparations. The physical recovery is limited. The Super League players themselves are not scientific enough. Top-level national contests like the World Cup are extremely demanding in all aspects. .

High-level oppression has very high requirements on physical fitness, so ... can save.

The keynote of the first five minutes of the second half was the Chinese team's position and Costa Rica quickly counterattacked.

Because Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi's arrival rate is extremely high and predictable, Costa Rica's counterattack has never threatened Yan Junling's goalkeeping. Lippi returned to the coach seat after standing for five minutes in the home coach's command area.

"Aoao--"

The Chinese fans occupying nearly half of the Pernambuco Arena are full of emotions and passion at this time, creating a loud voice like a mountain tsunami, cheering for the Chinese team.

However, at this time, Gao Lin ’s passing power to Lu Liang after receiving the ball was not strong enough, and Costa Rican captain Ruiz, who was backed to the 30-meter defensive area, got it. The Chinese team again turned from attack to defense.

As before, slowly returning to the local half, the Chinese fans in the stands did not care much, because Tang Zheng had looked at Campbell, Costa Rica's quick counterattack could not succeed.

Of course, Costa Rica has never thought about playing a quick counterattack. Captain Ruiz has received the latest tactical adjustment from coach Pinto-in the process of changing from defense to offense, it is necessary to increase the ball control time properly ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ Otherwise, a quick counterattack is difficult to directly threaten the Chinese goal guarded by Yan Junling.

Ruiz controlled the rhythm of the team from defense to offense. Through layers of advancement, football came to the Chinese team to defend the half.

Everyone thought that Costa Rica's offense would not pose a threat to the Chinese team. After all, positional offense is not an attack that Costa Rica is good at.

But ... there are exceptions to everything.

Costa Rican captain Ruiz scored in the middle to the left. Bolanos tried to cut the ball in the attacking left rib, but there was not much space. He chose to hand the ball to full-back Diaz.

Dias had no psychological advantage against the opposing Zhang Linpeng, and he knocked horizontally to Bolanos, who directly pushed the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area without stopping the ball.

Ruiz inserted the arc into the big penalty area without making any adjustments and lifted his right foot. Tang Zheng stretched his foot for half a shot without touching the football.

Double central defenders Li Xuepeng and Ren Hang watched the football roll against the turf and rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal, unconsciously stretched their feet, but neither touched.

The speed of the football against the turf is not particularly fast, but it is better than the tricky angle. The goalkeeper Yan Junling stands close to the middle and is also mentally prepared for Ruiz's long shot. , But it interferes with Yan Junling's vision.

When Yan Junling saw the football slowly rolling towards the bottom right corner of the goal, it was too late. His subconsciously reached down and flicked the ball without touching the football. The football almost rubbed the right goal post and rolled into the net ...

No one expected that Costa Rica, which was extremely passive at the beginning of the second half, would break the deadlock with a non-threatening long-range low shot in the first position attack.

This is like a thunderbolt for the dominant Chinese team.

Costa Rica is already known for its defensive skills, but now the score is ahead, but it is not old enough yet?
