Chapter 61 The defeated general
Before the war, some domestic football experts stood up to support the Chinese team.
Huang Jianxiang doesn't think Spain is invincible.
"The Spanish team is the king of the second round of group stage in the history of the World Cup. Their pass-and-control style is unique in the world football world, but at present, this Spanish team has problems in all four lines, and I really don't have 100% confidence in playing against China."
"The Chinese team must be in an iron barrel formation in this game, it depends on whether they can defend a draw. After all, no national team in the global football world can compete with the Spanish team to control the ball. The problem is that the Spanish team is now in internal and external troubles, and all four lines are problems. In comparison, changing coaches at the last round is not a problem."
"First of all, can the goalkeeper De Gea be quickly recovered? Portugal 3:3 in the first round of the group stage, De Gea made a butter-handed mistake in the Premier League, and Ronaldo made a low-threatening shot, but was hit by De Gea. Second, is the back line possible? Ronaldo's other two goals, one was a penalty kick given by Nacho in the penalty area, and the other was a free kick given by Ronaldo in front of Pique in the penalty area. There is also a troublesome figure, the main right-back Carvajal has been recovering from injury. If he does not come back in the second round, why should he occupy a 23-man roster? This was left by former coach Lopetegui. Before the opening of the World Cup, he was busy signing with Real Madrid and had no time to consider whether to change the 23-man roster."
"Third, midfielders also have problems. The Spanish team's tactic is to pass and control in the midfield, based on Iniesta as the core, but Lao Bai only has 70 minutes of battery power and must change the battery when the time comes. At this time, Portugal was replaced by Thiago at this time. Fourth, Costa, who scored twice in the first round, was replaced in 77 minutes. The fundamental reason is that he can no longer fight. In the 17/18 season, Costa's injury has never been completely healed throughout the season."
"The Spanish team claims to be picturesque passes, but the team is full of problems now. In addition, the midfielder Busquets, who connects the offense and defense of the front and back courts, received a yellow card in the first round. No one can really replace him in this position and his playing style, whether it is the Spanish team or the Barcelona club he plays for. In summary, if the Spanish team makes mistakes in the Chinese team in the second round, it will be really lively."
"Of course, I think the most important thing is that Dong Fangzhuo can do what Ronaldo can do!"
The Spanish media also made an outlook on the Sino-Swiss War.
"As" also predicts that the Chinese team will defend and will not take the initiative - they just hope to get a draw, but we must not complain that they will have a confidence in getting a point, but if this game is a draw and Portugal wins, it means that Spain will be eliminated.
"World Sports" - There is nothing to say. Only by defeating China can you take your destiny into your own hands. Once tied, it means that Spain will be eliminated in the last round. China and Portugal will definitely play tacitly, and the victory against Morocco will become meaningless.
"Marca" - Keep suppression for 90 minutes and win with goals is what Spain needs to do. Don't fantasize that Portugal will miss. Beware that Chinese Dong will perform his personal heroism in the game, and no longer have a C-Royce tragedy.
※※※※
Spain announced its starting lineup early, and there seems to be nothing to hide. They need to attack and get goals.
Spain (4231):
Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defenders: Kavajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba
Mid-back: Iniesta, Busquets
Midfielder: David Silva, Isco, Vasquez
Forward: Costa
In fact, there is nothing to keep in China, and the starting list is also given.
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Wang Gang
Midfielder: Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Zhao Xuri, Feng Renliang
Forward: Dong Fangzhuo, Wu Sanshi
It's exactly the same as the starter in the last round.
In the Kazan Arena, which can accommodate 45,000 fans, red and white once again filled the stands. However, this time the Chinese team finally got the home color, while Spain got the white color. The fans of both sides accounted for almost half, and the color was evenly matched.
Duan Xuan complained about his master's previous arguments before the game. Before entering the live broadcast room, the two of them chatted outside for a long time.
"I think your pre-match analysis is good, but I think the fans' opinions are more direct."
"What is Spain?"
"The defeated general!"
"They have lost to us in two consecutive World Cups. We don't have to be afraid of them at all. They should be afraid of them!"
“We’re too low-key.”
"We are obviously strong teams, so why do we have to call ourselves weak teams? We can't do things that will hit ourselves like this."
"..." Huang Jianxiang could only be speechless.
From the perspective of fans, you can indeed think so, but as experts, they can't be so arrogant. What should I do if I get slapped in the face?
"If we win this game, there will be a draw in the last round and Spain will be in trouble."
"The Spinach Company is optimistic about them. We will take half of the transfer, and then I will probably have to slap in the face again."
"Then who did you buy?"
"I must buy China! I don't have to think about it, I must support the Chinese team."
Huang Jianxiang looked at his apprentice, then said nothing, after tidying up his suit, he then stepped into the live broadcast room, and Duan Xuan followed obediently.
At this time, the starters of the two teams were waiting in the player channel. Dong Fangzhuo and De Gea had greeted him for a while. Pique won the distance and had few communication with Dong Fangzhuo over the years. I don’t know if it was because the two sides had played too many games over the years and were full of resentment towards Dong Fangzhuo, but Real Madrid still respected Dong Fangzhuo enough. Vasquez, Ramos and others came to say hello to Dong Fangzhuo.
It took a few years to meet on the court. The 33-and-a-half-year-old Dong Fangzhuo may have played against Spain for the last time in the World Cup. So Ramos suddenly said to Dong Fangzhuo.
"Dong, this game should be the last time we have fought at the national team level!"
Not only Dong Fangzhuo, but also talking about him, Ramos himself, who is one year younger than Dong Fangzhuo and is 32 this year. He will be 36 years old four years later. He is basically nothing to do with the Spanish national team.
"Maybe,"
"But who knows?"
Dong Fangzhuo himself doesn't think he will retire at that time. Maybe he can play for a long time. As long as he is willing, he doesn't want to stop. As long as he doesn't want to stop and has the ability to play for the country, he can still appear in the China World Cup.
Besides, that is the World Cup in China. I guess he can't even retreat if he wants to? He doesn't want to appear in the VIP seat as a guest, and he still wants to play as a player.
Zheng Zhi is 38 years old this year, but will he not be able to be 37 years old? Even a substitute is ok, so he is very confident.
However, China has now started the naturalization procedures. For example, Brazilian Elkeson has already been fully naturalized and will definitely be able to represent the national football team at that time. There are still several foreign players, and the procedures are also being completed...
“Sergio,”
"It's too early to think about this, maybe we can meet next time?"
Damn, do you still want to continue playing? My little brother Vasquez listened from behind and rolled his eyes immediately. Four years and four years, you want to make nowhere for guys who want to win the Golden Globes...
