Chapter 626 Fighting Russia ([-])
Relieved, Li Zibing began to introduce Russia's starting lineup.
Russia is a 433 formation.
Goalkeeper - Akinfeev
Defense - Shchenikov, Vasily Berezutsky, Ignashevich, Smolnikov
Midfielders - Golovin, Neustadt, Kokorin
Frontcourt - Shatov, Djuba, Smolov
For the Chinese team, there is actually no need for an introduction, fans will memorize it, it is the main lineup of the Chinese team, Fang Suo has also lifted the ban and returned.
Clattenburg blows the whistle and the game begins.
The Chinese team and Russia have never played against each other in international competitions. Although they have watched a lot of video materials about their opponents, the Chinese team is still very unfamiliar with Eastern European football.
Maybe many people think that Croatia is, but it is not. Croatian football has become technical, and the traditional lightning-fast Eastern European football is different.
In fact, the representative of Eastern European football is Ukraine. For example, Blokhin's nickname was Soviet Lightning.
Li Zibing suddenly recalled a past event, "Mr. Jianhong, I remember your evaluation of Russian football in the 2008 European Cup is very classic, do you still remember?"
Liu Jianhong chuckled, "Haha, I remember, I said watching Russian football was like eating a piece of iced watermelon, it was very refreshing."
"Yes, I remember that Russian football at that time was really fast, basically returning to the football style of the Soviet era."
"But now..."
Liu Jianhong didn't continue talking, but in fact, even people who don't understand football can see that the current Russian football is a bit simple, relying on a big center Juba.
A good chef cooks dishes based on the ingredients, and a good coach formulates tactics based on the players under him. Capello's tactics for Russia are also around Djuba and playing some high balls.
The ball was passed to Jiuba's feet, leaning against Li Heng with his back, Jiuba held the ball firmly in front of the penalty area, Li Heng stood still, but did not make any moves, Jiuba's body was a circle bigger than Li Heng, even if Li Heng kicked someone, it would be difficult to knock down Jiuba.
"Hold on, Li Heng," Yin Di yelled, he was still worried that Jiuba would forcefully turn around, and made plans to fill his seat.
Jiuba leaned on Li Heng, and found that Li Heng was still very tough, and it might not be easy to forcefully turn around.
Djuba flicked his instep, passed the ball to Shatov, and then turned around and inserted it into the penalty area. Shatov sent it back with a kick. At this time, Wang Dalei had already attacked and picked up the ball steadily.
*****
After 10 minutes of the first half, the Russian fans were surprised to find that their team could no longer organize an offense, and they didn't know why?But experts can understand it at a glance, and Capello knows very well that it is because the Chinese team has stronger control over the midfielder.
Zhou Dun took the ball, and the Russian player hula-la rushed up to several people, like a hyena hunting, but Zhou Dun lifted the weight as lightly, dodging the Russian midfield robbery like a flash, and then saw the timing and gave it to Qu Bo.
Seeing that Zhou Dun still scored the ball in the chaotic army, the fans at the scene couldn't help sighing, both envious and dissatisfied.
After Qu Bo took the ball, he was still the same old way, rushing to the end. Although Qu Bo was not very flexible in playing the ball, his speed was against the sky.
After hitting the bottom, Qu Bo made a pass. The ball was passed very high. After reaching the sky above the penalty area, it fell quickly. It turned out that Qu Bo added rotation when crossing. This is his improvement, but many people don't know it yet.
Akinfeev was not prepared to attack, this kind of ball would directly fly out of the sideline on the other side, but he suddenly found that the path of the ball had changed.
"I'm coming!" Akinfeev yelled, and the defender moved out of the way. Akinfeev jumped up and realized that the ball was not following the rules at all. It was floating in the air. Akinfeev was sweating on his back.
In desperation, Akinfeev punched the ball out of the baseline. After landing, Akinfeev let out a sigh of relief, "It's dangerous."
"Papa papa," Li Guo kept clapping his hands, Qu Bo passed the ball really well just now, his footwork almost caught up with Lin Zhijian.
The Chinese team won a corner kick. Li Guo suddenly made a strange gesture. Capello couldn't understand it, but he realized that the Chinese team probably wanted to take a tactical corner kick.
Lin Zhijian swung the ball at the corner flag, and the Chinese players in the penalty area were fighting for positions. Capello frowned, unable to understand. If it was a tactical corner kick, there should be two people standing in the corner flag. At this time, Lin Zhijian was the only one in the corner flag.
Lin Zhijian touched the ball lightly.Just when everyone thought Lin Zhijian was about to kick off, he ran away.
"Chinese substitutions?" Capello even more tempting.
Liao Lisheng ran over and passed Lin Zhijian, just when everyone thought that the Chinese team was just changing individual free throws, a surprising scene happened.
Liao Lisheng directly dribbled the ball towards the Russian penalty area. The Russian player was dumbfounded and instinctively raised his hand in protest: "China fouled, Chinese fouled."
According to the rules, the player who takes the corner kick can only touch the ball once. At first glance, Liao Lisheng seems to have committed a foul.
But this was a trick played by the Chinese team. Lin Zhijian had already kicked the ball out of the corner flag area when he ran away, but he was just brushing the line, so no one noticed.
When Russia's defense was chaotic, Akinfeev was the calmest. He shouted: "Defense!"
After Liao Lisheng dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he made a low pass. The center of the penalty area caused chaos, and everyone stretched their legs.
In the end, Russia's Neustadt kicked the ball out of the sideline. At this time, the Russians couldn't bear it anymore and surrounded the referee Clattenburg.
"Do the Chinese play football? Such an obvious foul, you..."
The Russian originally wanted to ask, "Are you blind?" But he swallowed the words, and Clattenburg said it simply. He pointed to Lin Zhijian, "When he left the penalty spot, he kicked the ball out of the corner flag area, and the linesman saw it clearly."
The Russian players thumped in their hearts. They understood, but then they thought about it and were terrified. The Chinese team is too thieves.
Li Guo was a bit regretful, but unfortunately the goal was not scored. This tactic was designed by Li Guo himself. Of course, it can only be used once, and the second time will definitely not be sudden.
Although the Russian players on the court were not convinced, there was nothing they could do. According to the rules, the Chinese team did not violate the rules 100%, but it was too bad.
But the fans in the stands quit. They felt that the Chinese team was despicable, so they began to abuse. Li Guo turned a deaf ear to this, as long as it was within the rules, there was nothing despicable about it.
