Chapter 27 Face Your Opponent

In the Argentina locker room, the players were somewhat frustrated. They had a full advantage in the technical statistics of the first half, and even the fouls were more than the Chinese team.

In the forty-five minutes of the half, he shot 18 times, seven times within the front box, and zero goals.

Such data really makes them feel embarrassed and painful.

Why, the Chinese team, which seems to be not very good in defense, suddenly launched a defensive counterattack, but it seemed to be collectively sucking blood, so tenacious and outstanding?

There were eleven people on the court, except for the goalkeeper, and then Rongguang was abandoned. Nine of them were all defending, and the offense was completely a matter of Rongguang. Through this first half, they also discovered that the Chinese team's offensive routine was to kick forward with big feet. Rongguang could be caught and formed an attack. If they could not be caught, they would not lose anyway.

Even if Rongguang receives the ball and starts attacking, the Chinese team will not have anyone to go up to participate in the offense and support Rongguang.

Not counting the goalkeeper, where were the nine of them before and where were they attacking - just in their 30-meter area, then looking into the frontcourt, watching Rong Guang face three to four defensive players alone.

This is the Chinese team's offense

This attack is like a fucking joke

But this is the joke, but it broke through their goal in the game and did not lose the ball.

So...who is the joke?

When the Argentine players think of this, they are particularly depressed.

We can't do anything about such shameless tactics?

Argentina's head coach Francisco sighed in his heart as he looked at a group of silent Argentine players.

They did play very depressed in the first half.

But they can't continue to think so.

In addition to the Chinese team's defensive defense, it also has a lot to do with Argentina's mentality.

If you want the team to perform well in the second half, you must start by adjusting their mentality.

So he thought about it and said, "Okay, guys, forget the first half. The game that has passed is meaningless. There is still 45 minutes left in the game, and we are only one goal behind. We will lose without surprise. On the contrary, we have 45 minutes left to save ourselves."

"But before that, I think first of all, we should change our view of the Chinese team and adjust our mentality. We must admit that the previous contempt for the Chinese team was wrong - the Chinese team I meant not including honor. Instead, the Chinese team players except honor, they don't look very eye-catching, and the whole team is making contributions to honor. Just like glory is a bright flower, while they are unknown green leaves. But you must be clear that if there are no green leaves, there will be no flowers. So these green leaves cannot afford them.

But eyes are essential. I think after this first half, you have a clear understanding of the energy of the Green Leafs. They are definitely not able to appear on the finals by their efforts. It is the credit of the entire team that the Chinese team can enter the finals. So you must adjust your mindset and face your opponents again. This is a very powerful team, they are very combative and united. If you don’t have such a understanding in your heart, then I bet that if you give you another 90 minutes, you will not win.”

Francis said this very seriously, even a little harshly.

He rarely uses such a harsh tone to the players of this youth team because they are all geniuses. Since they are geniuses, they will definitely have some preferential treatment, such as not speaking to them in a harsh tone.

But now, he has to do this and continue to indulge in it, which will only lead to the entire team being destroyed.

Everyone was shocked by the head coach's rare stern tone. They took the lead in looking at Francisco and couldn't speak.

"If you don't really value them in your heart, you don't know why they are strong, and you can't beat him. So it's very simple now. Please really face them from the bottom of your heart and respect them. It's normal for such a team to lead us by one ball in the first half. It's normal for us to fall behind. But will we give up the game if we fall behind? No. The opponent has outstanding strength, then we will do our best to fight with them, fight with our enemies with our teeth and fists for the championship

The Argentines can give everything. This is why Argentina is one of the most powerful teams in the world. So in the second half, don’t be anxious, adjust your mindset and deal with them with our strengths. We have plenty of time. Don’t rush to cross from the side or shoot from the long shot. Just use the short pass we are best at penetrating to open the gap from the middle and break through continuously, causing them to be nervous in the defense line. If they dispatch defensive forces from other places to block it, then transfer the football to an empty place in their defense."

"All their psychological advantages are based on not losing the ball. As long as we can break through their goal, the situation will become good for us, and their defenders will start to doubt themselves, and then it will be our chance to destroy them in one go."

Francisco hit his palm with the last punch.

At the same time, the atmosphere was much more relaxed in the locker room of the Chinese team.

Although relaxed, it does not mean indulgence.

At this time, Clauchen was telling them: "We only lead one ball. In football games, such a score will not bring you any sense of security. So if you think you can win with one ball, then you are wrong. In the second half, you should continue to play like the first half. If you don't hear the referee whistle blew the end of the game, don't slacket off."

※※※

After fifteen minutes of halftime break, everyone was discussing the just-concluded first half game in the media seat and on the Internet.

On the Chinese Internet, netizens who were leading the ball also joked about the tactics of the China Youth Team.

"This is clearly a typical 3l formation."

"I didn't expect the legendary 3l formation to be really useful, and the effect is very good."

"Clauchen also surfs the Internet? Can you see this?"

"With the glory, the UUI that everyone originally spoofed has become awesome tactical formations."

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly in this joyful atmosphere.

The two sides changed sides and the game began

After the game began, the Chinese team still retracted its defense without hesitation.

Even if they kick off the ball.

When they kicked off, they kept passing back, and the overall formation also retreated.

After they retreated to their predetermined position, they drove the football forward and let the glory chase.

Everything returned to the rhythm of the first half...

The Chinese team really didn't give Argentina any chance, and they didn't think about taking advantage of the kick-off opportunity to push forward and attack.

Such a cautious Chinese team naturally made Argentina fans very upset, and they cursed the Chinese team and even the Chinese in front of the TV.

Anyway, you can spit out all the swear words you can think of.

But the Argentine players playing on the court did not have such a mentality.

They were much more stable than in the first half, and it was not unacceptable to letting the Chinese team lead by one goal.

When the mentality is calm, Argentina's offense is even more threatening.

All the commentators on the commentary table can see this.

"Argentina does not seem to be as impatient as the first half. When they organize attacks in the frontcourt, they no longer just cross from the wing or shoot directly from a long shot. Instead, they are patiently turning their feet back and looking for this opportunity..."

"Messi tried to break through, but when he found out that there was no road ahead, he did not rush inside with his head buried in the first half, but chose to pass back... This is a situation we couldn't see in the first half, and it was a gratifying change, which shows that Argentina is calming down..."

"The Argentine Youth Team has already lost more than a dozen consecutive kicks, right? In this process, the Chinese players can't even touch the ball..."

※※※

The Chinese players quickly noticed this change in Argentina.

When the Argentine players fell back and forth in front of them, they looked at each other and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

In the first half, Argentina only knew how to break through. If it failed, then it would shoot from a long distance or cross from the wing.

However, no matter which of these three offensive methods, it is easy for Chinese players to defend.

Especially the breakthrough. Because Argentine players are in a very anxious mood when breaking through, they actually cannot control the rhythm and technology of the ball under their feet, which actually opens the door to the Chinese team's defense.

And in that case, Chinese players can always be in a relatively nervous and excited state, and their bodies will sometimes react ahead of their brains, and such reactions are often accurate.

But now when the opponent just passes the ball back and forth around the goal and is not in a hurry to score, the Chinese players are a little confused about what to do. They seem to be at a loss.

Push it out?

Obviously not?

But let the Argentinians spread this way?

They don't know when the Argentinians will suddenly exert force and fight into the penalty area.

It felt that Argentina's crossover had always swayed the hearts of Chinese players, which made him nervous and was always waiting for the man on the roof to take off his second boot to fall asleep.

This feeling of holding on but not letting it vent will accumulate for a long time, which will bring great psychological pressure to the players.

Once Argentina makes efforts, the Chinese team's response will appear...excessive and unnecessary.

For example, this defense eleven minutes after the second half...

After Argentina passed nearly twenty feet back and forth, when Messi got the ball, he did not choose to continue passing the ball, but made a fake pass, but suddenly drove the football forward.

This caught the Chinese players off guard.

When they realized it, Messi was already in the penalty area.

Next, the Chinese central defender Feng Tingxiao rushed up and hit Messi's ball.

But this time, Messi's feet are faster than him

The first kick opened the football, Feng Tingxiao kicked Messi hard on the calf

Messi fell to the ground

The referee's whistle sounded

He pointed to the penalty spot

"Hey? Penalty?" Huang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment, his voice was shocked.
