Soccer Super Marksman

On the road of Chinese football development, we are always promoting the need to learn advanced European football concepts and tactics, such as Russia, Spain, and even Brazil, Argentina and other strong teams in South America.

But we seem to lack a full understanding of our own strength, and our learning objects are all advanced football strengths that can please fans all over the world.

However, Huaxia lacks the superb personal strength of South America's freedom and romance, and also lacks the rigorous and orderly technical and tactical execution ability and accomplishment of Europe.The core of the problem is clear at a glance: we don't have the capital to learn advanced football that can please the world.

Therefore, Cui Zhen's suggestion to Gao Hongbo is based on the most realistic interests of the arena. If we really want to talk about who to learn from, then Italy is what we should learn from.A firm defensive concept, focusing on defensive counterattacks, even if you can't achieve the steely and ruthless defensive effect of chain defense, you still have to try.

Because defense is actually simpler than offense, even if your personal strength is insufficient, you can hoard more troops to defend.

This is not Cui Zhen's sudden idea, but a suggestion for the long-term development of the national team.

Gao Hongbo was so ambitious that he didn't expect that the start of the World Cup would be unfavorable. The first game was completely suppressed by the opponent. The so-called "characteristics" of the Huaxia team not only did not show up on the stage of the World Cup, they were even vulnerable.

Cui Zhen's suggestion was adopted, and the master and apprentice of the national team talked for a long time. Although the second match against Portugal-Portugal was imminent, today's conversation almost established the development trend of Cui Zhen's national team era.The Huaxia team, which was later evaluated by history as "Cui Zhen + 10 defensive players", and the "Asian utilitarian king" Huaxia team began to take shape during this period.

The bad news came. The Huaxia team lost 1:3 to the Mexican team in the first game. In the same group match later, Portugal beat Angola 1:0 with Pauleta's lightning goal.Although Portugal did not show the domineering arrogance of the strong European teams, it actually scored 3 points.

After the first round of the group stage, the Huaxia team was at the bottom of the group.

After a day's rest, the Huaxia team departed from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Cui Zhen was in a stable state when training with his teammates. He did not show any regret or frustration. He had already forgotten the game against Mexico. After two years of playing in the top league, his professionalism has also improved.If you worry about the past games, it will not help the future.

The fans of the Huaxia team who visited the training of the Huaxia team were slightly pessimistic. The match against Mexico made them realize the reality.

After all, Cui Zhen is a person, not a god.

Just like what the media said: even if Beckham, Ronaldo, Messi and other players are placed in the Huaxia team to replace Cui Zhen.Will he be able to lead the Huaxia team to defeat an opponent whose strength is significantly higher than his own?
If someone thinks it is, it can only be said that he does not understand football as a team sport.

Coming up against Portugal, the pressure within the team seems to be growing.

After the team held the game preparation meeting the day before the game, Cui Zhen held an internal meeting of the players in the locker room.Cui Zhen, who only wore shorts, sat in his seat, surrounded by his teammates, and he spoke calmly.

"I know the loss to Mexico made everyone feel bad, and so did I. It seemed like our World Cup was over before it even started. But what I want to tell you is this. The World Cup is not just for us. It's for each other. There are countless fans who support us. We still belong to our country and I don't want to leave the World Cup with regrets.

Lost to Mexico, regret it?No!I have no regrets.

Mexico's overall strength is stronger than ours, its performance is better than ours, and it has also shown its superiority in terms of skills and tactics.

We worked hard, why should we regret?It's not that you have to regret if you lose the game, the most important thing is to have a clear conscience.

But if we are in our current state, with great pressure, fear of whether the media will stigmatize us, and endless fantasies that the fans will attack the national team with great disappointment.So, how do we perform well in the next two games?If we can't play to our strength, it means that we haven't tried our best. In that case, it will be a pity, and I will blame myself.

So please don't think about those things, this is our World Cup!It is a valuable experience for us to recall our career in the future.

We should be excited and proud. Tomorrow we will play against the star-studded Portugal. This is a glorious moment in our lives!

lose?I'm not afraid!I'm afraid I'll kneel down to my opponent before I even fight! "

What Cui Zhen said made the teammates nod frequently, and then everyone gathered together to cheer for each other.

As the team leader, Cui Zhen doesn't like to make waves and show off his prestige. He tries his best to enlighten and encourage his teammates, hoping to relieve their inner pressure and unload their ideological burden.

The next day, the first game in Group D was the match between Mexico and Angola.

After 90 minutes of the game, the Angola team drew with the Mexican team, and the two teams shook hands.

This put the Huaxia team's qualifying situation into a desperate situation, because Mexico has scored 4 points.

The Huaxia team still has two games left. Unless they win all games, they may still be eliminated even if they draw with Portugal. Because in the case of the same points in the group, the priority is to compare the outcome. The Huaxia team lost to Mexico in the first game !

The World Cup stadium in St. Petersburg on a sunny afternoon.The stands were packed with people.Fans from Portugal, China, and Russia are looking forward to seeing the star duel in this game.

Gimmick.

Cui Zhen VS Suarez, Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo and other famous football players.

Moreover, Cui Zhen and many players in the Portuguese team really have a basket of "new and old grudges".

In the Premier League, Cui Zhen's Manchester United defeated Bernardo Silva's Manchester City and Suarez's Southampton.

In the UEFA Champions League final, Cui Zhen represented Manchester United and defeated Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid. Many players in these teams are the main players of the Portuguese national team.In addition, Cui Zhen and Ronaldo are supernovas of the same age in the Premier League, and Cui Zhen's rapid growth has obviously overshadowed Ronaldo, which makes this game very interesting.

In fact, 99% of the eyes focused on the Huaxia team were focused on Cui Zhen.

Before the game started, Cui Zhen and Ronaldo stood side by side at the front of the team in the player tunnel.

Many players of the Portugal-Portugal team stared obliquely ahead, looking at the silhouette or back of Cui Zhen.They couldn't imagine how much pressure they would have if Cui Zhen was in a European or South American world power team.

But fortunately, Cui Zhen is the captain of the Huaxia team, which relieved their hearts, and at the same time raised a slightly brutal excitement.

Crush the Huaxia team!
"China Central Television, China Central Television, welcome to the World Cup Stadium in St. Petersburg. I am the live broadcast commentator Huang Jianxiang. Today I am here to bring you the second round of the World Cup group match between Huaxia and Putao. - Tooth team game.

The No. 2 team in Group D is Mexico, No. 3 is Portugal, No. 4 is Angola, and No. [-] is China.If the Portuguese team can beat the Huaxia team in this game, then the Portuguese team will qualify early.

After the Huaxia team lost to Mexico in the first game, their fate was almost out of their hands.Unless the Huaxia team can beat the Portuguese team today, there is hope of defeating the Angola team in the final round and scoring 6 points to qualify for the group.

But this task is so difficult that it is almost impossible to complete.

The performance of the Huaxia team in the last game allowed us to see the all-round gap between us and our opponents in the World Cup.Perhaps our expectations of Cui Zhen are too high, which has led some media to demand too harshly that Cui Zhen can become the savior, which is unreasonable.

To put it bluntly, putting any player in the world that you think is the strongest in the Huaxia team to replace Cui Zhen will not cause a qualitative change in the overall strength of the Huaxia team.

Football is a team sport, and it depends on the unity and cooperation of 11 players on the field to win the game.

I think Cui Zhen performed very well in the last game, pinning down three to four Mexican defensive players for a long time, which is very rare to see in this World Cup. All actions to limit Cui Zhen.This is the success of the Mexican team's last defense.

I think even if Pele and Maradona are placed in the Huaxia team to replace Cui Zhen, they may not do better than Cui Zhen.

Today, our opponent Portugal is very strong. They have a group of stars who have played for the top European leagues and giants. We hope that the Huaxia team can cherish the opportunity in the World Cup. The chance to play against European teams is really not good many.

The Huaxia team made some changes today. Gao Hongbo still uses the 451 formation, but how the specific technical and tactical system works, we have to observe in the game.

Goalkeeper: Lu Ziqiao.

Defenders: Bu Leshan, Chao Tianhu, Zhang Chuan, Zheng Yubo.

Midfielders: Qi Feijie, Tan Qiuyang, Cui Zhen, Ma Ziqian, Lei Zhenxing.

Forward: He Long.

We saw that Gao Hongbo removed striker Lei Heyang and replaced him with He Long as the starting lone striker. What is the purpose of such a change?We'll just have to wait and see.

Portugal - Portugal - Portugal first 4231.

Goalkeeper: Patricio.

Defenders: Suarez, Danilo Pereira, Nelson Semedo, Gurrio.

Midfielders: Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo, Andre Gomez, Adrian Silva, Ronaldo.

Forward: Andre Silva.

Well, the game will start soon, the Portuguese team will kick off first, let us continue to cheer for the Huaxia team, it is an honor in itself to be able to stand in the World Cup! "
