Football: Start Fusion Ronaldo Star Card

After two group matches.

The Dragon Team won two games and scored six points.

Holding the advantage of 7 goal difference, they ascended to the top of the group.

There is a high probability of qualifying as the number one in the group.

into the quarter-finals.

You must know that since the short-lived glory of the local Asian Cup in 2004.

It has been 11 years since the Longguo team failed to break through the group stage of the Asian Cup.

The past 2007 and 2011 Asian Cups brought Longguo players and fans nothing but endless pain.

So most of the Dragons players are excited.

They want to burst out with all their strength and beat Shater to the ground in the last game of the group stage.

Entered the quarterfinals with a record of complete victories.

At this time, the head coach Lippi suddenly summoned all the members.

Then I poured a basin of cold water on everyone:
"Strive for a complete victory? No, no, no, our goal is to enter the quarterfinals and go further."

"So we can't spend all our energy in the group stage, we must save some energy for the following games."

"And through the analysis of the standings, we can see that if we enter the quarter-finals as the number one in the group, we will encounter the Australian team, which has the advantage of local combat."

"Their strength is top-notch in Asia, and this year's cup is a local battle. Each of them will burst out with [-]% of their energy."

"So our goal is to win the second place in the group. In the quarter-finals, we will be assigned with our neighbor Sakura Country."

"When you meet them, you can unleash your full potential."

Lippi is an old man.

When to enter and when to retreat.

He understood it in his heart.

Those who only know how to rush forward when encountering things, but don't know how to turn around are called fools.

Does Lippi look like a fool?
Whoever wants to take the first place in this group will take it.

Lippi didn't want to be taken advantage of.

What's more, he has coached the Yangcheng Hengda team in Longguo for several years, and he can barely be regarded as a Longguo master.

I know that there are irreconcilable historical contradictions between the Dragon Kingdom and the Sakura Kingdom.

When encountering Sakura Country in the game, the players of Dragon Country can always burst out with amazing energy.

Although the strength of the cherry blossom country is comparable to that of the host Australia.

But for Longguo players, it is actually completely different.

Play against Australia, which has the advantage of being the host country.

Still fighting with the natural enemy Sakura Country.

How can it be a state?
not to mention.

In the competition, rationally allocate physical energy and adjust the state, so that the state of the players will explode when it should explode most.

It's what a good head coach should do.

Instead of exhausting the physical fitness and state of the players in advance for a moment of pleasure.

Not just in football.

In other events and even major events such as the Olympics.

Many head coaches will make the same choice.

To explain it in terms of the Dragon Kingdom's Art of War, this is called "don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place".

Just like students take exams.

The usual test is to accumulate strength and find deficiencies.

The final college entrance examination is the key to Yuyuelongmen.

If you show your full strength during the college entrance examination, you will be able to decide the world with one blow.

If you usually require yourself to get a high score in every test, you will drain your last bit of potential.

It may not be able to perform normally in the college entrance examination.

It would be a pity to be overwhelmed by tremendous psychological pressure and perform abnormally.

That's why Lippi held this discussion meeting and put his opinions in front of everyone in the Dragon Team.

It's just that the Longguo players have always had the habit of "always striving for the first place".

Because every time I go to an international competition.

The pig association always likes to play the trick of "yin and yang contract".

It declares to the outside world that "playing at the level and playing with the style" is enough, but internally sets rigid targets for the players.

It doesn't matter how strong each Dragon Country team is.

Let's first highlight the rigid rule of "always striving for the first place".

Forcing the players to go all out from the first game, I can't wait for the players to defeat all opponents with a crushing posture.

I don't even know what a workaround is!
But the question is, does the Longguo team under the Pig Association have the strength to crush their opponents?

Almost crushed!
The poor record of Longguo football for so many years is absolutely inseparable from the "reckless" thinking of the Pig Association.

For the Pig Association.

Even if it's just the first place in the group, that's the capital to gain political achievements!

It's good to go to the top!

Therefore, the vast majority of Longguo players will be forced to accept the thinking mode under the Pig Agreement from the first day of their careers.

It has been ingrained for so many years.

Therefore, the players of the Dragon Team couldn't turn the corner for a while, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Obviously some people can't accept Lippi's suggestion.

At the critical moment, Captain Xiao Chenhui stood up.

Help the team members unify their thinking.

"Think carefully, everyone, what is the purpose of our coming to Australia?"

"Is it the first in the group or the final champion?"

"Only when we win this Asian Cup can we prove the significance of the existence of the Dragon Team!"

"Otherwise, what's the point of coming here after our hard struggle and internal PK match?"

"In every Asian Cup, there will be several group firsts, but there is only one champion in the end!"

"What is remembered by history is only the championship. Who cares which team is the runner-up? Let alone the first place in the group."

Xiao Chenhui said so.

The members of the Dragon Team finally got over their worries.

Yes.

There are four groups A, B, C and D in the Asian Cup.

Each group will appear first in the group.

But what does it mean to get the first place in the group?

The final winner may not necessarily be the first in the group!

Italy often stumbles in the World Cup group stage.

Germany has always been unsatisfactory in the World Cup group stage.

Spagna also lost to Ruishi in an upset.

But what about the end result?
well known by all people!

In the end, the differences disappeared.

Lippi's tactical thinking has been highly unified.

So in the third game of the group stage against Shater.

Lippi sent a lineup of half main force and half substitute.

Continue to stick to the formation of 5-4-1.

Players who had not had a chance to play in the previous two group matches all appeared.

Yan Zihao who recovered from injury, Li Xuepeng who was on the bench, and Xu Xin who had only played for less than half an hour before.

And the only substitute goalkeeper Li Shuai.

All starters.

Only Xiao Chenhui and Zheng Zhi were unshakable.

The purpose of Lippi's formation is very clear.

He just wants to use the strong Shater team to hone the players and check for deficiencies.

After all, the Dragon Team has not been established for a long time.

All kinds of problems must exist objectively.

It's just that Xiao Chenhui's performance in the first two group matches was too eye-catching.

Cover up some problems.

If there is a problem, let the problem surface as soon as possible.

It would be too late to wait until the knockout round to discover the problem.

So Lippi won Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe and others who had a tacit understanding with Xiao Chenhui.

He also wanted to see it without the assistance of Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe.

How much can Xiao Chenhui, who is in a passive state, do.

Facts have proved that Xiao Chenhui is definitely worthy of the trust of any head coach.

In the match with Shater.

Xiao Chenhui's performance is still strong.

Contributed a goal and an assist in 65 minutes of playing.

The Dragons, who led the semi-substitute lineup, drew 2:2 with Shater.

He almost accomplished the tactical goal set by Lippi on his own.

Helping the Dragons successfully avoid the host Australia in the subsequent quarter-finals.

Since 2004, it is the first time in 11 years to enter the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup!
