After a game of regret and defeat, Ali Han made a painful reflection. Although he didn’t want to admit it in his heart, he was fully aware that the 343 formation was not suitable for defending the cup, which was more important than attacking. However, Ali Han regretted even more that he shouldn’t have wavered in a game because those three players with great luck kept conceding goals, and changed the formation temporarily during the game. The reason was very simple. All the players selected by Ali Han for the World Cup were asked to play other formations according to the requirements of the 343 formation, which was actually even more inappropriate. Especially the important central defender position. After Zhao’s red card was suspended, Ali Han was surprised to find that if Yu Hai was not allowed to retreat, he would not be able to match two central defenders who met the requirements of the four-guard formation, and an "Oriental Quartet" in the frontcourt that showed great power made Ali Han hard to give up.
In this case, Ali Han resolutely gritted his teeth and decided to continue to play the 343 formation in the second game. However, due to the lesson of the first game, Ali Han repeatedly weighed the details. Although the China team played the 343 formation, there was no small difference in the initial 343 formation
The biggest difference is that Yu Hai was put in the frontcourt and Shao Jiayi sat on the bench, so the third defender became Xu Yunlong, Zheng Zhi and Yuan Weiwei, the former national youth player of Feng Xiaoting (from right to left) after the warm-up match between China and France.
Speaking of Yuan Weiwei’s extremely moderate abilities, it is actually very suitable for playing the three-guard formation. The central defender in it is his inexperience and his characteristics are a little too moderate. He has not been able to make up his mind before, but at present, the national football team is suitable for playing the left central defender position. Except for him, there is only one Sun Jihai left. If Ali Han doesn’t want to retreat Sun Jihai, he will take risks in the defense line to make this newcomer.
Ali Han has completely understood now, unless the midfield control is strong enough, 343 is a gambling formation, and either the opponent is beaten into a sieve or he is beaten into a sieve. If he is cautious and conservative for fear of taking risks, he might as well not form 343 at all.
However, this does not mean that there is no way to defend the defender informant, but there is a high demand for the frontcourt players to counter-grab on the spot and retreat to defend Alibaba Han. The former has nothing to say, while the latter means that the formation is 343 when attacking and 541 when defending. At the same time, even the core high army of the team must spare no effort to participate in the counter-grab on the spot after losing the ball in the other half, not to mention.
Because of this strategy, Yu Hai has both offensive and defensive skills and excellent physical fitness, Ali Han put forward higher requirements, such as "attacking into the opponent’s restricted area and returning to the square restricted area". This is not something that any player can do. At the same time, Ali Han also gave Yu Hai great freedom of movement. Although he felt that he had a good performance in "grabbing the front waist", he did not decide to die in this position. Yu Hai recognized that it was necessary. He was free to exchange positions with Gao Jun, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin Naihao and Zheng Zhizhong, as long as the base formation remained unchanged.
But just when Ali Han almost jumped up, it wasn’t long after the ball in the middle circle that Yu Hai actually made a mistake and was intercepted by the other side! However, before Ali Han exclaimed, he saw that Yu Hai had rushed back to grab the ball for the first time and was lucky enough to grab it back! Then, almost without any delay, Yu Hai’s ankle shook and sent the ball to the left rib of the Croatian team’s restricted area
Although the Croatian team is now out of touch, after all, the overall tactical accomplishment of the European team is still quite high. After their low back steals the ball successfully, the Croatian players immediately stepped forward, but they didn’t expect that the player who lost the ball from China was able to snatch it back so quickly. Instead, it exposed a large piece of film. It is often more dangerous to be intercepted when you give China a chance to counterattack quickly than when you attack the position.
Seeing Gao Jun is like a snake suddenly jumping out of the dark, he cleverly inserted into the rib of the Croatian team’s restricted area and received Yu Hai’s direct plug. The three-guard formation easily gained an advantage in the middle of the restricted area, but the Croats did not expect that Gao Jun did not give them a chance to tighten their defense. He directly shot when he received the football!
In order to hide his intention, Gao Jun didn’t swing his thigh before shooting, but as his body gradually grows, Gao Jun can also take out a shot with full strength only by the explosive force of his calf. He saw the ball "sou" and went straight to the near corner Croatian goalkeeper pletikosa. Although his horse fell to the ground to block, he was still a little slow, but he could naively watch the ball get into the net from his rib.
"The goal! Wonderful goal! A different game. It seems that China’s luck is better. After many games, it took 37 seconds for China to take the lead with a quick counterattack. Now the score is 1! " Suddenly excited, Liu Jianhong burst out with a lot of words like a barrage.
And his partner Gong Lei is even more excited than he is. "Look, Gao Jun actually rushed out of the field with a submachine gun sweeping the celebration and shouted with his mouth open. This kind of passionate celebration is really rare for him."
"I think it’s because I’m venting my dissatisfaction. It seems that even the international players have put up with this mess," Liu Jianhong speculates maliciously. Anyway, he is not afraid that Ali Han will settle accounts with him afterwards.
At this time, Chang Gaojun couldn’t hear Liu Jianhong’s nonsense. He rushed all the way to the side of the field almost frantically and shouted "I want to kill today!" Then I saw my teammates rushing to celebrate and turned to them and shouted, "Today we are going to kill! We have to attack, attack and attack! " to be continued
Chapter seventy-seven Break the knot
Ps thanks friends "let’s cross together" to cast a monthly ticket and continue to seek a monthly ticket and recommended votes _
Perhaps it was infected by Gao Jun’s passion, perhaps it was a smooth situation, which greatly increased everyone’s confidence. Even the eyes of the old international players did not become a little hot, and although few people in the stands listened to Gao Jun’s words, he still performed his performance and cheered for the China team. No one turned to the scene again.
On the contrary, there are still a few "national blacks" on the national network who stubbornly leave dirty marks in the number of celebration and praise posts, but generally dare to criticize Ali Han. Those "high blacks" who have always been critical of Gao Jun are hiding at the moment.
Balic, the head coach of the Croatian team, kept a calm face at this time, but his heart was full of regrets. Because the temperature was very high that day, he reduced unnecessary physical consumption. Balic’s arrangement before the game was to let the team play steadily. Who knew that China would launch a strong attack at the beginning of the game? Don’t they know that this is the most important World Cup? Didn’t they think about strengthening their defense after a regrettable defeat? Didn’t Croatia, the semi-finals of the World Cup, feel the slightest awe?
Although Balic was a little flustered at heart, he decided to continue to play the game determined before the game. He didn’t pretend to be calm because of China’s flashing goal. At the same time, Balic couldn’t help but hum a cold voice. "We are the team that qualified from Europe and are going to make it to the top four in the next World Cup. How can we be intimidated by an Asian team? Even the Australian team lost and still want to win us? It’ s a minute behind a goal and you can get it back! "
It must be admitted that the overall strength of Croatia is still better than that of China, which can be seen from the possession rate of both sides. However, the slow attack rhythm of Croatia makes the frontcourt players of China have enough time to defend, but the defense of 541 is not weak, which means that the biggest weakness of 343 formation has been avoided in the form.
In addition, the Croatian midfield organization is really problematic, and they are afraid of China’s quick counterattack and dare not press it, which leads to very limited support for the front line. In many attacks, they often rely on the personal ability of the striker. Many midfielders often take a long-range shot and try their luck, but their luck is not as bad as that of an Australian team. The effect can be imagined.
"Croatia’s midfielder picked Xu Yunluo to grab the ball very early, otherwise it would be very dangerous for Croatia’s big striker to rush into the penalty area after getting the ball." Liu Jianhong didn’t do enough homework, and he couldn’t name many Croatian players. He could explain it in such a general way
And his partner Gong Lei pointed out a benefit of the three guards at this moment. "In fact, the three guards in this game may be wrong and wrong, which is different from an Australian team’s three-high formation. In this game, the Croatian team discharged double strikers, although they also have height advantages, but they are not as exaggerated as the Australian team. Although they are better than our central defenders, we are usually two central defenders in three-to-two combat, and the defensive players will naturally take advantage of one when heading for the top." Although the team has two big strikers, it can’t copy the Australian team’s style of play at all. If we walk on the ground, the three central defenders are more flexible, and it will be more difficult for Croatia to pose much threat. "
Although the Croatian team’s attack is not smooth due to poor midfield organization, they are not in a hurry, especially afraid to press the defense line, which makes it difficult for China to get a quick counterattack opportunity. At present, it is still difficult for this China team to attack the Croatian defense line, so it is not easy for China team to shoot more long-range shots unconsciously. In the first two minutes, China team scored a total of four shots, except for Gao Jun’s one shot, which was outside the penalty area, but it was not in a hurry because it was ahead of the national football team.
However, the problem of Zheng Zhi’s defensive move was punished in this game. After waiting for his teammates to come to support him in a defense in the restricted area, he chose to shovel the football and also shoveled the Croatian striker No.9 Pourchot. The referee’s scale of this game was far more severe than that of a game, especially for those who might hurt people. As a result, Zheng Zhi’s fierce tackle not only gave Croatia a penalty, but also received a yellow card, which was in trouble.
"It depends on Li Leilei. Alas, it is an old problem for Chinese players to be defensive. It has long been said that they will suffer in the world series. Sure enough, today, the referee’s loose scale is a rare special case. Today, this is the normal situation. In the next game, the national football players must try to be careful."
Although I have a lot of expectations, I can never force Li Leilei to take a penalty kick. Although he once again judged the right direction, the football got into the net. With this lucky goal, the Croatian team tied the score by 11!
In this way, the situation of the China team will not be very good. In case the Croatian team falls behind with another goal, they can fight back with peace of mind against the China team. At that time, the disadvantages of the 343 formation will be completely exposed, and it is likely that the loss will be worse than the first game. However, Gao Jun went to the front of the goal, smiled and comforted Li Leilei with a depressed face, and then shouted at the team, "It’s just a goal. We will continue to attack!"
Although Croatia’s defense is good, it still doesn’t dare to be careless in the face of China’s skillful and fast delivery in the frontcourt, but the so-called "one hundred secrets and one sparse" has been running the ball in the 27th minute until now. Hao Junmin suddenly dribbled the ball on the right and cut his excellent dribbling skills, passing two Croatian players in a row, and then being laid down by the opponent’s lower back without hesitation. China got a good ball on the right side of the restricted area.
This Liu Jianhong immediately came to the spirit, but the joy was mixed with regret. "This opportunity is really rare. Unfortunately, Ali Han, who is not present, must regret it now. If Shao Jia starts, it is much more likely to score with his golden left foot! At present, there is no left-footed Italian ball in the national football field, and it seems that excellent players can play together. Then this position seems to be a little too close to the goal. "
However, it doesn’t seem that the thunder words of the guest palace gave Liu Jianhong a face. "Zheng Zhihao and his two left feet are not as good as one, but they are also good among Chinese players."
Liu Jianhong just ignored the explanation that "Hao run-up shot himself! The ball hit the post! Unfortunately, no goal! It was when Lin told him that the forward insertion shot the ball back in, and the referee signaled that the goal was valid! China is lucky to take the lead again, and now it is 21! "
Gong Lei gave a higher evaluation. "Hao’s kick is of high quality. Although he lacks strength, it is very delicate. He goes to a dead corner. (It’s no problem that Bai Hao shoots at close range.) Although he doesn’t score, it’s actually the same to help his teammates score goals. It’s also not easy to insert and calmly make up shots when telling the forest. Of course, the attention of Croatian defenders has been attracted by Gao Jun. It was also a very important reason in the past."
At this time, Gao Jun of the stadium was even more excited than the goal Gao Lin. He rushed to keep Gao Lin for a long time before releasing his hand. He was so excited that no one knew more about the importance of this goal than him. "Although it seems that Pingqi was the first goal scored by China players in the World Cup except me, it helped Gao Lin and other international players break the knot and made them realize that the quality of other World Cup matches is not much different, so it will be easier to play."
For Gao Jun himself, this goal is also of great significance. If China has Gao Jun, the Croatian team can safely focus on Gao Jun, which is a great obstacle to his play. When his teammates also show the ability to directly threaten the Croatian team’s goal, the other team will not dare to stare at Gao Jun, so he can get more activities. For a speed player like Gao Jun, the bigger he is, the better his performance will be.
At this time, the number of stands in China was also mobilized. They waved the national flags that had been prepared for a long time and turned the stands into a red ocean. The goal-scoring heroes Gao Lin and Hao Nai created this Italian ball opportunity, and Hao Junmin enjoyed the praise of the fans.
Chinese fans are also excited about chasing three goals in a row, but because Australia’s reputation is relatively small and the media analysis before the World Cup unanimously identified it as the weakest opponent in the group, compared with Croatia, which is now recognized as the second-rate team in Europe, it is obviously not as cool as it is to be continued.
Chapter seventy Bloody penalty kick
Ps Thanks to the friend "Color Bat" for casting a monthly ticket and continuing to ask for a monthly ticket and recommended votes _
Although he fell behind again, Balic, the head coach of the Croatian team, still did not let his players attack. He believed that the Croatian team could make a comeback even if it was patient and slow. After all, the game had only been played for less than three minutes, and it was not enough to tell Lin to score a goal. Balic judged that "China’s attack over Chengdu was centered on Gao Jun, so there is no need to worry about blocking Gao Jun."
Imbali Qi insisted that Gao Jun didn’t get more activities after telling Lin to score, but his teammates gradually realized this and made personal breakthroughs more frequently, especially the right winger Hao Junmin was the most active.
In the other area, the defense is relatively tight, relying on personal skills and strong penetration ability. At present, Chinese people can compare Hao Junmin, even the Croatian team defender has a hard time coping with it, and the huge containment of Gao Jun is a great help for Hao Junmin’s breakthrough
In the 34th minute, Hao Junmin once again broke into the restricted area with the ball and got rid of two Croatian defenders in a row, and got the shooting angle. Hao Junmin was about to lift his foot to shoot, but was covered by the left side. A Croatian defender stretched his foot and shoveled it on the supporting ankle. Hao Junmin suddenly screamed. First, he hugged his left foot and fell to the ground.
The referee did not hesitate to point to the 12 yards, and at the same time showed a yellow card stand to the Croatian defender who knocked down Hao Junmin. China fans were suddenly jubilant. At present, the score of the two teams is one goal short. What is the significance of China winning a penalty? Think about it, but it will be white. Soon, sharp-eyed fans noticed that the international players gathered around Hao Junmin, and soon China team doctors and stretchers also entered the field.
"The referee blew a penalty! Huh? Hao Junmin fell to the ground and hasn’t got up yet. Is this going to be okay? He is already an indispensable main force in the national football team. If he is seriously injured, the penalty will not cost a little more. "Liu Jianhong was surprised and worried about Hao Junmin’s situation.
Guest Gong Lei used to be a football player, so he naturally knew that he was terrible. After watching the slow-motion defense, his face was even more worried. "This hard-to-say part seems to be the ankle. If it is serious, it is possible to retire, but the speed of the other side has not been increased before shoveling. It should not be a comminuted fracture, but we will not know until we go to the hospital for examination after the game."
The two commentators are all like this, not to mention the international players. Gao Jun and other "Oriental" friends are even more uneasy. After asking the team doctor, Gao Jun is a little relieved and knows that it will not be the most serious situation, that is to say, Hao Junmin can still return to the pitch at the worst, but it is hard to say how long it will take to rest, and even at the best, Hao Junmin will definitely have to bid farewell to this World Cup.
Looking at gritting his teeth and enduring severe pain, Hao Junmin Gao Jun squeezed out a smile and comforted him. After two sentences, he solemnly assured him, "We will definitely take this game! You can rest assured that you will recover your injuries and wait for our good news! "
Hao Junmin can’t continue the game. Ali Han must replace him with a new right winger. Considering Gao Jun’s great grasp of penalty shooting, Ali Han has recognized that China is leading by two goals. In this case, it is obviously a natural choice to change the speed winger to strengthen the counterattack power, and China is rich in speed wingers. At this time, it is fully demonstrated that the bench can play the right winger position. There are actually four speed players (there is no limit on the number of bench seats in the World Cup, which is very different from the league).
Mao Jianqing’s past misdeeds and the good situation of the national football team now make Ali Han, who doesn’t want to bring about troubles, rule him out first; Although Xie Wenjun is very strong, he is too young after all, and there is still a long way to go before the end of the game. Therefore, Ali Han did not choose Xie Wenjun out of concern for his health. Dong Fang’s personal ability is not good, but his sense of teamwork finally satisfies Ali Hanfa. It’s okay to go for a rush after the opponent’s physical strength drops and defense fails at half time. It’s not too early to say now.
In the end, Ali Han unexpectedly chose Qu Bo, a Mesozoic player who came into his sight later. Although Qu Bo was the first player in the past because of hyperthyroidism, now he can’t compete with the three younger generations in terms of absolute speed or instantaneous explosive power, but Qu Bo’s speed is enough for counterattack, and he never sticks to the ball, shoots well and has a strong sense of teamwork. The speed is more valuable than the limited gap. Moreover, in such an important event as the World Cup, most head coaches will believe that older players are more calm and most of them are more experienced, and Ali Han is no exception.
After Qubo, Gao Jun finally had to punish the hard-won penalty. Maybe it was the price of Hao Junmin’s blood. Maybe it was the World Cup when Gao Jun felt unprecedented tension before the goal. However, relying on his far superior psychological quality and two decades of football experience, Gao Jun quickly calmed down his mood after taking a deep breath, and helped China score another goal in one fell swoop, making China lead Croatia by 31 goals!
"Nice shot! This is definitely a theoretical corner. The Croatian goalkeeper has no chance even if he judges the right direction! " Liu Jianhong, the commentator of CCTV, cheered loudly and could not help but clap his chest and said, "Gao Jun is a natural shooter. When he took a penalty just now, my bystander was so nervous that his heart was pounding, but he was completely unaffected. This psychological quality is really not simple."
Gong Lei smiled easily. "Now that we are two goals ahead, we have greater hopes for this game. Although Hao Junmin’s injury will have some impact on our strength, the winger is the most important thing for the national football team. Moreover, after two goals leading, we can fight back with peace of mind. Our four players in the frontcourt are all fast trotters. I am afraid it is difficult to find a second example in this World Cup. If Croatia is eager to equalize the score and press hard, I think we may be able to expand the score again."
However, Balic, the head coach of the Croatian team, did not let Gong Lei get what he wanted. Even though he was two goals behind, he was still very calm. After losing the ball in the middle circle, he signaled the players to press and attack once. After failing to succeed, he immediately asked the Croatian team to take back the defense line and then quickly resumed the previous steady and steady practice, without giving China a chance.
After that, both sides can threaten each other’s goal through long-range shooting and set-pieces, but they don’t shoot straight at the goal, so the scene is so boring that some neutral fans in the stands even hiss.
After injury time in the first half, Balic wanted Croatia to sneak a chance. However, due to the backwardness of midfield organization, Croatia quickly lost the ball, and two goals ahead of China, there was no need to take risks to attack the position. They also managed to keep the score of 31 until the end of the half when the center and backcourt were exhausted.
During the intermission, two commentators of CCTV discussed the half-time game. Although they still had prejudice against Ali Han, Liu Jianhong also fully affirmed the performance of China in this game. He attributed it more to the international players who played football, while Gong Lei, a guest, talked about these two World Cup games from a more professional perspective, which became a hot topic. The formation of 343 made some football professionals relatively lack of knowledge to solve the doubts of new fans.
Due to the limited time, Gong Lei can briefly introduce the advantages and disadvantages of this formation and discuss the gains and losses of Ali Han’s insistence on adopting this formation with facts. "The 343 formation is a very aggressive formation, and its defensive loopholes are relatively large, so Dutch coaches who advocate offensive football generally like it, but this strange move makes it ok, but it is almost impossible to find a successful example."
"Because of the defense? It is not easy to achieve good results in the 343 formation of’ attacking to win the fans’ defense and winning the championship’? " Although Liu Jianhong has many bad habits in his explanation, he still understands the common sense of football.
"This is one aspect, and another aspect is that this kind of play will increase the chance of the game, which can also be said to amplify the influence of luck. No one likes the ups and downs of his team’s performance, so the evaluation of this formation is naturally not much higher." Gong Lei briefly explained, "Besides, the effect of 343 formation against strong teams by strengthening the attack power is also higher than the success rate of non-defense. On the contrary, it may be accidentally screened by opponents. Of course, 343 formation came out in this game but it was wrong, because we had to win this game, even the draw could not accept it.

"And judging from this game, even if the national football team adopts the 343 formation, it is difficult to break through the opponent’s tight defense line in positional warfare, which shows that the overall strength of the national football team is still not good, but now the age structure of the national football team is unprecedentedly young, and there is still a great increase in the future. I believe they will perform better in the next World Cup." Just as Gong Lei said these words, the half-court game was finally expected.
"The other player? Magic flute (modric) field? It seems that the Croatian team is really impatient and wants to attack the Magic Flute on a large scale. Even if it is not mature yet, it may create a lot of trouble for us, but if it is good, it will also be our opportunity. "Gao Jun suddenly came up with the idea of bullying future superstars after seeing the Magic Flute, who is still very young at this time.
However, the magic flute has a very strong ability to get the ball, not to mention Gao Jun, an attacker. Even a defender and a world-class defender can hardly grab the ball from his foot in one-on-one fashion. However, when the child came out of the football base, it was a physical action to grab the ball for nothing. When the Croatian team circled the ball and then put the ball at modric’s foot, China team Yu Hai, Gao Lin and Gao Jun suddenly rushed to this still immature future superstar at the same time.
