Chapter 7 Old Ji Fuzhen

Before the game, Pele specifically talked about the issue of qualifying in the group in an exclusive interview with European Sports.

"I think there is no problem for Brazil to qualify in the group."

If he was really touched by his reverse halo, Bailey wouldn't know if he would slapped his mouth at home.

Beijing, China. In the lounge of the Argentine Olympic team, Sergio Batista and his assistant coach are watching the game live. Argentina is also a favorite to win the championship. Watching Brazil's game today can only be considered an early investigation. However, this game surprised audiences all over the world, including Batista.

At the end of the half-time game, the lounge was silent. Only Chinese sports commentators could be heard excitedly summarizing the significance of the game and repeatedly played two goals from the Chinese team.

Batista's long face showed a cramped smile.

Finally, the assistant coach asked everyone the question: "What's wrong with the Brazilian team? Are they suffering from a stomachache?"

Dunga's expression appeared on the TV.

Batista touched his chin and murmured: "It's not simple Chinese."

Everyone's eyes were on his face.

Batista stroked his hair: "Haha, it seems that this Brazilian team is not afraid. Our final opponent seems to be a stronger guy. Dunga said at the beginning, and with these players absent-minded, this score is not a coincidence."

"But this score..."

"Let's talk while watching the video." The TV then continued to recorder, which was the standard configuration of the coaching staff. Holding the remote control in his hand, Batista adjusted the time to the first minute.

"From the beginning of the game, the Chinese team has been prepared. This is a tough battle. They are very weak, but they are very brave. This courage should come from their head coach. Some of his words must have happened before the game. Some of his words strengthened the confidence of these players. Of course, this is a deduction from the results. If the score does not change, such a decision is also amazing. Guess what Dunga is thinking? He must be thinking that I want to win in this game - just let it go. Our team is stronger than our opponents, and you can win as long as you perform normally. After playing, you must organize the offense patiently and control the game in an orderly manner. Dunga should be thinking about these."

Everyone nodded.

"He was right, but he met a wrong opponent. As I said just now, the Chinese coach had a mentality of fighting. What he was thinking was the suddenness of tactics, which was Dungar's unexpected. A team that unified thoughts and a team whose tactical thoughts had not yet been formed, who would win?"

"The 433 formation at the opening is actually more like a 343. The full-back assists very well, while the right-back hardly assists. Ronaldinho doesn't make much play on this side. The three central defenders in the midfield have strong stealing skills, but this is not the key. Look at this shot."

In the picture, Diego took the ball, Zhao Xuri came forward, Zheng Zhi and Chen Tao blocked the passing route of the two wings, and Diego's forward Zhu Ting returned to chase and steal.

"The Chinese team does not have a fixed center. No. 7, No. 9 and No. 18 must have one responsible for returning and stealing, and the other two are responsible for controlling the passing line. When it is retracted, the formation is like a 352. Look, if the line is stuck, you can only pass back. If the return pass is also chased by the opponent's forward, you can only pass for a long pass for a big foot. Is the Brazilian team with a long pass for a big foot or a Brazilian team?"

"However, Brazil can still find some opportunities to control the ball. It may not be able to grab it, nor may it not be able to pass it out." said the assistant coach.

Batista paused the video and opened his own folder. This folder not only contains the information collected by the assistant coach, but also some information that only he knows.

“Look at the news.”

Argentina's "Ole": Dunga refused to take Ronaldo to the Olympics, and the team revealed a disharmonious voice.

Brazil's "Lance Sports": The most unfriendly coach in history, no one has ever been so arrogant!

"The team is closed for training, reporters have no way to interview"

"I'm really powerless to respond on the spot, and iron-fisted management is badly evaluated"

...

The assistant coach seemed to understand what Batista meant.

"The biggest enemy of this Brazilian team is themselves. Dunga's stubbornness is just a microcosm. His bad relationship with the media and poor communication with the players has caused a concentrated outbreak today. Haven't you seen the eyes of the young players in the team? They are turning to old players, but, look at Ronaldinho, is he the captain? Dunga must at least choose a captain like him."

Assistant coach: "You mean Brazil has no chance? It's a disaster to be eliminated in the group stage." Although that's the case, there was no "disaster" expression on the assistant coach's face.

Batista shook his head. "It may not be possible to lose. Even if the players don't want to win the game, they know that they have to qualify in the group. The prerequisite for qualifying by tied is a draw with a very high score."

Batista didn't finish his words, but he had basically expressed the voice of the entire Brazilian team. The way to lose the head coach in football is to "lose the game". The importance of the Olympics is far less than that of the World Cup. It is perfect to lose the head coach in such a field. However, after all, it is an international game. If you lose to an opponent like China and fail to qualify, not only the coach will be in danger, but the players will be criticized by the media.

Next, what can be done is to draw. Can the Brazilian team do it?

It seems to be to confirm Batista’s prediction. In the second half, Brazil seemed to have changed a team of people. Unlike the absent-minded state in the first half, the players were all cheered up.

Dunga has a little less popularity, but after being the captain of the Brazilian team for so many years, he knows at least at the tactical level how to crack the oppressive defense. The distance between people is kept very tight, and frequent backwards and large-scale transfers are used to mobilize the physical strength of Chinese players. The Chinese team seems to have lowered the rhythm, and the pressing is not as fierce as before.

Mr. Yang stood by the side of the court, and Chi Shangbin stood beside him and directed the defense loudly. As the most powerful defender representative in New China, he was also responsible for the defense of the Chinese team.

Mr. Yang once doubted whether the defense taught by an older uncle could withstand the test of modern football. However, when Chi Shangbin came up with a report on "What kind of defensive strategy is suitable for the Chinese team?", this suspicion became a kind of respect. Being able to abandon past grudges and summon Li Weifeng was a manifestation of open-mindedness.

"I am so old, how can I still have the same knowledge as a furry child? What's more, he is indeed one of the best central defenders in China. I won't bury talents because I have to be worthy of my football." Chi Shangbin said.

"I'm worthy of football." Mr. Yang silently recited this simple and unpretentious sentence in his heart, and his body involuntarily took a small step back.

Chi Shangbin discovered this keenly and turned around.

"Guide Yang." Chi Shangbin was already sweating profusely.

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "Chi Zhi, don't be so anxious. We have done everything we should do, and it will be fine when the result is done." Mr. Yang's midfield arrangement was to continue to maintain the pressing tactics of the first half. But obviously, the Chinese team members are now a little overwhelmed.

Even Mr. Yang was surprised by the score in the first half. The first ball was the ability to seize opportunities. If he was in training, more than half of them would be knocked away in ten times. The second ball was even more lucky. Zheng Zhi aimed in the upper right corner, but in the end the ball flew to the left. Could this be a reward for God's sincerity to him? Mr. Yang looked up and saw that among the excited Chinese fans, he didn't know where Wan Cheng Ruolan was.

Mr. Yang also knew in his heart that the current situation was even more dangerous than falling behind. Like Batista, he realized the internal problems of Brazil, but he did not expect that it would detonate in this game. No matter what the result of the game, Dunga would be called "unable to control the team". Whether he could lead the World Cup next time is probably a question.

However, Master Yang's mentality became much calmer at this time. At this time, his character and luck had been exhausted in the first half, and he was fighting for his will in the second half.

"If you can't hold on, just change people." Mr. Yang clicked on the LCD screen of the tactical board. The game has been 60 minutes, and the running distance between Yu Dabao and Zhu Ting is almost 7,000 meters. For the forwards, if they continue running, they no longer have the ability to sprint and breakthrough in attacks.

Just then, the ball entered!

It was almost unlike the Brazilian team's goal, from the midfield to the pass at the front of the penalty area. Diego's heel was passing the ball with a ghostly heel on his back, and Pato understood it. In just a few dozen seconds, the ball had already rolled into the Chinese team's net.

Chi Shangbin stomped his feet hatefully and looked up to ask for Mr. Yang's opinions.

"Substitution."

Han Peng came down, Hao Junmin came up, Yu Dabao came down, Feng Renliang came up. The Chinese team's formation became 451. The midfield continued to fight.

Time passed by minute by minute. Dunga's heart seemed to fall from a high altitude, gradually losing its temperature.

The scores in the next court have not changed. The Belgians cannot be said to have worked hard, but the New Zealanders are even more tenacious. The New Zealanders have been forced to a dead end and have not scored a goal in three games, which is something that has never happened in New Zealand's football history. For the sake of their face, they have fought completely.

He was so arrogant that he was afraid of losing his life. At this time, the Belgian heard that the Chinese team was leading, and counting points, it was enough to keep 1-0 to qualify, and his ambition was suddenly weakened a lot.

In the 75th minute of the game, Brazil substitutions. Midfielder Diego and Neves were off, forwards Ruo and Sobis came on the stage, and Brazil's four forwards.

In the 80th minute of the game, the Chinese team's midfielder Chen Tao fell to the ground with cramps. Yang replaced the last man, Dai Lin, the Chinese team's five defenders.

In the 85th minute, Zheng Zhi fell to the ground with cramps, and defender Deng Zhuoxiang also had cramps. The Chinese team had only 9 people on the court within 2 minutes.

In the 88th minute, Brazil launched an offense from the left, and Marcelo passed into the penalty area 45 degrees, and was obtained by Lucas at the second point.

Long shot! Blocked!

Pass again in the penalty area, if the near shot is blocked.

Ronaldinho cums in place.

The ball entered.

2-2, the Brazilian team members were ecstatic and surrounded Ronaldinho. Dunga jumped excitedly on the sidelines and waved his fists hard.

Mr. Yang and Chi Shangbin could only look at each other silently and applauded the players on the court.

Do your best~ Have you seen it? Such a result is worthy of your football.

The referee whistle sounded, and the last game of the men's football team C group ended almost at the same time.

The three teams with the same 4 points, Brazil and China, qualifying for the goal difference, and Belgium was eliminated.
