Football: Start Fusion Ronaldo Star Card

The 90-minute regular game time is over.

The score on the field is still 2:2.

The two teams scored twice with their respective captains.

The kick is inextricable.

The game was dragged into brutal overtime.

Australia head coach Postgrew spearheaded the change.

In the short time before the start of overtime.

Postglu pointed to Aziz Bijic and Tommy Orr on the bench.

Signal them to take the time to warm up.

They will be entrusted with heavy responsibility in overtime.

The two players quickly grabbed their training vests.

Race against time to start the warm-up.

Of the two, Aziz Bijic is the defender.

Playing for Bursaspor in the Turkish Super League.

Tommy Orr is an offensive player.

He can play multiple positions on the field, such as left winger, left midfielder and attacking midfielder.

Coach Postgrew's strategic intention to replace them is very obvious.

While solid defense.

Further strengthen the attack!
Since the battle cannot be resolved within regular game time, it depends on the thickness of the bench lineup.

Beat the Dragons in overtime!

Postgrew is very clear that there are only 18 players in the Dragon Team who signed up for the competition this time.

It is called "Eighteen Arhats" by Longguo fans.

But they are not real Arhats after all.

Unable to reach the sky with both hands and eyes.

After playing several consecutive games, each of them will consume some physical energy.

Plus the 90 minutes of the fierce battle before.

The Dragon Team, which doesn't have much reserve force, will be extremely difficult after all.

This is true.

Lippi did not expect the game to come to overtime.

He looked at the few Dragons players on the bench in embarrassment.

Confused face.

There are only so few people in the Dragon Team.

Since the start of the Asian Cup, it has almost been the rhythm of playing cards.

It's a blessing to be able to come up with a starting lineup.

It has not been easy to get to where we are today.

Then let Lippi make changes to the lineup.

Come up with the second set of plans, that would really make things difficult for him.

In all fairness.

The overall strength of the Dragon Team is not strong.

It was only by Xiao Chenhui's support that he was able to overcome strong enemies all the way to the final finals.

How the other players looked at it seemed a little out of touch.

The old is old, the small is small.

Veterans Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang have rich experience in competitions.

But after all, he is old.

Physically unable to sustain a 120-minute game.

Although young generals Wu Lei and Wei Shihao are full of vigor.

Full of impact.

But they have not yet entered the peak of their careers.

At present, there is no way to provoke the leader.

It is impossible to be alone like the veteran Zheng Zhi.

Not to mention the younger Xu Xin and Wang Shangyuan.

Poor game experience.

In such an important occasion as the overtime of the Asian Cup Finals, which head coach dares to let them play with confidence?
The depth of the Australian bench is thick enough.

Even a famous player like McGowan failed to be selected for the 23-man roster.

Those sitting on the bench are either stars who have played for European clubs, or the absolute main players in the A-League.

How does the Dragons compare with Australia?

Even the total number of people is five less than others.

Isn't this embarrassing old man Lippi?
But Lippi can't just make no adjustments and watch the Dragons lose.

The old man frowned and thought for 2 minutes.

First, he replaced Yu Hanchao with Yu Hai.

This is a counterpoint substitution.

The styles and characteristics of the two players are very similar.

They are all players who can play multiple positions on the wing.

Replace Yu Hanchao and replace Yu Hai.

It is to ensure the continuity of the rhythm of the game.

It can allow the Dragons to enter overtime in a relatively familiar rhythm.

After completing this substitution.

Lippi began to pinch teeth again.

It stands to reason that Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang, two veterans, have already played 90 minutes of the game.

They should have been replaced by younger players in overtime.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Zheng Zhi's core role in the midfield, and Sun Xiang's ability to balance offense and defense in the backcourt.

It's not that the young players on the bench can replace it if they say they can.

I want to play the same role as Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang.

The lads still have a long way to go.

But the problem is that time waits for no one.

Overtime is just around the corner.

Lippi has no time to wait for the lads to grow up.

Two veterans must be replaced.

Make sure the Dragons have enough energy in overtime.

Will not be overwhelmed by strong Australian players.

After thinking for a moment.

Lippi still decided to replace Sun Xiang and leave Zheng Zhi on the court.

Before he took over the Dragon Team.

Coached the Yangcheng Hengda team for three years.

Zheng Zhi is the absolute core of this team.

Lippi still fully recognizes Zheng Zhi's game attitude and technical experience.

At such a critical moment now.

Of course he trusted Zheng Zhiduo more.

But before the second substitution.

Lippi still looked at Zheng Zhi, and took the initiative to ask:
"Is there any problem with your physical fitness? How long can you last?"

Xiao Chenhui acted as an on-site interpreter.

He gave Zheng Zhi the original translation of Lippi's words.

Zheng Zhi immediately said:

"I have no problem! I can play another 30 minutes!"

Overtime is also divided into upper and lower halves.

15 minutes per half.

Zheng Zhi's firm attitude showed his heart:
He wants to fight to the end with the Dragon Team!
Even the age of 35 can't stop his burning heart!

He got a positive answer from Zheng Zhi.

Lippi nodded slightly.

Then without hesitation, he replaced the veteran Sun Xiang with the young general Yan Zihao.

Yan Zihao is recovering from serious injuries.

Only played one and a half games before.

But the only defenders of the Dragon Team are him, Li Xuepeng, and Wan Houliang.

Lippi can only choose one of the three to play in overtime.

From the perspective of comprehensive personal ability and competition experience.

Yan Zihao is definitely not the first choice.

But he has a tacit understanding with Xiao Chenhui, Wu Lei and others.

The training time together is also longer than the rest of the two defenders.

In order to ensure the overall continuity and game rhythm of the Dragon Team.

Lippi can only choose Yan Zihao.

After the replacement.

Lippi informed Hao Junmin through Xiao Chenhui's translation.

Let him advance from the right back position to the right midfielder position.

Together with Yu Hai as the midfielder wings of the Dragon Team.

After some adjustments by Lippi.

The formation of the Dragon Team has undergone tremendous changes.

从原本的4-4-2变成犀利的3-4-3。

On the front line, Xiao Chenhui, Wu Lei, and Wei Shihao re-formed the trident.

Zheng Zhi and Zhang Xizhe are still in the middle of the midfield.

The two wings are Hao Junmin and Yu Hai.

The back line became three people.

Micro Motion is on the left.

Liu Yiming is in the middle.

Yan Zihao, who just came on the field, stood in the position of right center back.

Lippi, who didn't have many cards available, made his best effort.

leftover.

It depends on the performance of the boys of the Dragon Team.

At this moment, Lippi deeply understands an old saying of the Dragon Kingdom:
It's up to people to plan things.

It works!
