Chapter 454 Face up to your opponent
In the Argentine dressing room, the players were somewhat frustrated.In the technical statistics of the first half, they had an overall advantage, and they even had more technical statistics such as fouls than the Chinese team.
45 minutes into the half, [-] shots, [-] shots on target, zero goals.
Such data is really embarrassing and painful for them.
Why, the Chinese team, which didn't seem to have a good defense, suddenly launched a defensive counterattack, but it seemed to be so tenacious and outstanding as a collective fight?
There are eleven people on the field, and there are ten people besides the goalkeeper. Apart from Rong Guang, the nine people are all defending, and the offense is entirely Rong Guang's business.Through this first half, they also discovered that the Chinese team's offensive routine is to kick the ball forward with big feet. If Rongguang can catch it, it will form an attack.
And even if Rongguang received the ball and started to attack, no one from the Chinese team would step forward to participate in the attack and support Rongguang.
Not counting the goalkeeper, where were the nine of them before, and where were they when they were attacking—just in their 30-meter zone, and then looked at the frontcourt from a distance, watching Rongguang face three or four Argentine defenders alone.
This is the attack of the Chinese team!
Such an offense is like a fucking joke!
But it's such a joke, but they broke their goal in the game and didn't concede a goal!
So... who is the joke?
Thinking of this, the Argentine players are particularly depressed.
There is nothing we can do about such a shameless tactic?
Argentina's head coach Francisco looked at a group of silent Argentine players and sighed in his heart.
They really played very depressed in the first half.
But they can't be allowed to continue thinking like this.
The inability to score in the first half has a lot to do with Argentina's mentality in addition to the Chinese team's tenacious defense.
If you want the team to perform well in the second half, it must start with adjusting their mentality.
So he thought about it and said: "Okay, boys, forget about the first half, the game that has passed is meaningless. There are 45 minutes left in the game, and we are only one goal behind. This does not mean that we will lose. On the contrary, we still have 45 minutes to save ourselves."
"But before that, I think first of all, we should change our views on the Chinese team and adjust our mentality. We must admit that the contempt for the Chinese team before was wrong-I mean the Chinese team does not include Rong. It is the Chinese players other than Rong. They don't look very conspicuous. The whole team is contributing to Rong. It's like Rong Guang is a bright flower, and they are unknown green leaves. But you have to understand that if there are no green leaves, there will be no flowers. In the first half, you already have a very clear understanding of the energy of the Green Leafs. They definitely did not rely on Rong’s efforts to appear in the finals. The Chinese team’s ability to enter the finals is due to the credit of the entire team. So you must correct your mentality and face up to your opponents. This is a very strong team.
Francis said these words very seriously, even a little harshly.
He seldom used such a harsh tone to the players of this youth team, because they were all geniuses, and since they were geniuses, there would definitely be some preferential treatment, such as not speaking to them in a too harsh tone.
But now, he has to do this, and if he continues to indulge, it will only bring the entire team down.
Everyone was shocked by the rare stern tone of the head coach. They took the lead to look at Francisco, speechless in a daze.
"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 now it's very simple, please really face them from the heart and respect them. It's normal for such a team to be one goal ahead of us in the first half. It's normal for us to be behind. But do we give up the game? One of the most powerful teams in the world! So in the second half, don’t worry, put your mind right, use our strengths to deal with them, we have plenty of time. Don’t rush to pass from the side, and don’t rush to shoot long-range, just use our best short pass to infiltrate from the middle to open the gap and break through continuously, causing tension in their defense line.
"All their psychological advantages are based on not conceding the ball. As long as we can break their goal, the situation will become in our favor. Their defenders will start to doubt themselves. At that time, it is our chance to destroy them in one go!"
Francisco landed his last punch in the palm of his hand.

Meanwhile, in the locker room of the Chinese team, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
Although relaxed, it does not mean indulgence.
At this time, Krautchen was telling them: "We are only leading by one goal. In a football match, such a score actually does not give you any sense of security. So if you think that you can win by leading by one goal, then you are wrong. In the second half, continue to play like the first half. Never relax until you hear the referee's whistle to end the game!"
※※※
During the 15-minute intermission, in the media seats and on the Internet, everyone was discussing the just-concluded first half of the game.
On the Chinese Internet, netizens who led by one goal also ridiculed the tactics of the China Youth Team.
"This is clearly a typical 901 formation!"
"I didn't expect that the legendary 901 formation could really be used, and the effect was very good!"
"Clauchen is also online? Can you see all of this!?"
"With glory, everyone's spoof 901 has become an awesome tactical formation!"
The 15-minute break passed quickly in this joyous atmosphere.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the game began!
After the start of the game, the Chinese team still took back the defense without hesitation.
Even if they tee off.
When they kick off, they keep passing back and the overall formation drops back.
After they withdrew to their predetermined positions, they drove the football forward and let Rong Guang chase after them.
Everything is back to the rhythm of the first half...
The Chinese team really didn't give Argentina a chance, and didn't even think about taking advantage of the kick-off opportunity to press up and attack.
Such a cautious Chinese team naturally made the Argentine fans very upset. They cursed the Chinese team and even the Chinese in front of the TV.
Anyway, all the swear words you can think of are poured out.
But the Argentine players who played on the field did not have such a mentality.
They were much calmer than in the first half, and it is not unacceptable for the Chinese team to lead by one goal.
When the mentality was calmed down, Argentina's offense became more threatening.
All the commentators in the commentary booth can see this.
"Argentina seems to be less impatient than in the first half. When they organize an attack in the frontcourt, they no longer simply pass from the wing or shoot directly from long distances. Instead, they walk patiently and look for this opportunity..."
"Messi tried to break through, but when he found that there was no way ahead, he didn't bury his head and rush in like in the first half, but chose to pass back... This is something we didn't see in the first half. It is a welcome change, which shows that Argentina is calming down..."
"The Argentine youth team has already dropped more than a dozen feet in a row, right? During this process, the players of the Chinese team couldn't even touch the ball..."
※※※
The players of the Chinese team also quickly noticed this change in Argentina.
When the Argentine players turned back and forth in front of them, they looked at each other, suddenly a little overwhelmed.
In the first half, Argentina only knew how to break through. If the breakthrough failed, they would shoot from long range or cross from the side.
But these three offensive methods, no matter which one they are, it is very easy for the Chinese players to defend.
Especially the breakthrough in it.Because the Argentine players were in a very anxious mood when they broke through, they could not control the rhythm and technique of dribbling at all. This opened the door for the Chinese team's defense.
And in that case, the players of the Chinese team can always be in a relatively nervous and excited state, and sometimes the body will react ahead of the brain, 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 in, the players of the Chinese team don't know what to do.They appear at a loss.
throw it out?
Obviously not?
But let the Argentine pass it like this?
They don't know when the Argentine will suddenly push into the penalty area.
It feels like this kind of cross pass from Argentina has been hanging on the heart of the Chinese player, making him nervous, always waiting for the guy on the roof to take off his second boot before he can fall asleep.
This feeling of suffocating but not letting it out accumulates for a long time, and it will bring a lot of psychological pressure to the players.
Once Argentina exerts its strength, the Chinese team's response will appear...excessive and unnecessary.
For example, the defense after 1 minutes of the second half...
After Argentina passed almost [-] feet back and forth, when Messi got the ball, he did not choose to continue to pass the ball, but made a fake pass, but slammed the football forward!
This caught the Chinese players by surprise.
When they reacted, Messi was already in the penalty area.
Next, the central defender Feng Tingxiao of the Chinese team rushed up and kicked the ball at Messi's feet!
But this time, Messi's feet are faster than him!
Taking the first step to poke the football away, Feng Tingxiao kicked Messi's calf firmly!
Messi fell to the ground!
Then the referee's whistle sounded!
He pointed to the penalty spot!
"Eh? Penalty!?" Huang Jianqiang froze for a moment, his voice was very surprised.
