Chapter 602 The Core of Stealth

In the studio of the sports channel, He Wei was refreshed when he saw the national team in red uniform playing.

He excitedly introduced: "...Obviously, the Chinese team, which has only one way to win, boldly formed a very aggressive lineup today.

This also sent a very strong signal to our opponents, that is, the Chinese team must score 3 points at home today! "

Xue Yang added relevant background information, and he went on to say: "...The competition in this group has passed halfway, and the Chinese team has opened up an 2-point gap with South Korea, which ranks second in the group.

If you still want to keep the hope of entering Russia, then no matter what kind of records or historical records you have left before, this game must not be lost. We must also win the opponent! "

The players of both sides walked into the stadium under the leadership of their respective captains Zhou Zhi and Ki Sung-yong, and Stillik, who was in the crisis of getting out of class, stood on the sidelines and cheered for his players one by one.

Li Liang watched this scene while walking, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

He felt that compared with the South Korean team members who seemed a little conceited, Stillik seemed to be under considerable pressure.

After completing the entrance ceremony, the Korean national anthem was played first, and hundreds of Korean fans opened a huge Korean flag tifo, hoping to cheer for their players in this way.

When the prelude to "March of the Volunteers" sounded, Li Liang and his teammates saw more than 5 spectators standing up and singing the national anthem together.

An even bigger five-star red flag tifo in the grandstand shocked the audience, announcing the firm determination to defend the home field with astonishing momentum.

It was the first time for Li Liang's father and mother to experience such a scene on the scene. They both shed tears with excitement. His father said in a trembling voice: "...that is really Liangzi? I can't believe it!"

Xiao Yu replied loudly: "Dad, the number 17 is Brother Liangzi! This is the first time he has started an official game for the national team!"

The members of the South Korean team dressed in white uniforms lined up to shake hands with the players of the home team as usual. Compared with the members of the Chinese team who were still a little cautious, the Koreans still seemed to be much more relaxed.

After Zhou Zhi and Ji Chengyong, a former teammate of the Celtics in the Soviet Super League, greeted briefly, the two sides began to choose sides, and the Chinese team kicked off first.

Daxiong and Yueyue had already arrived at the TV on time in their apartment in New York, staring intently at the screen where Xu Bao was kicking off for the Chinese team.

The referee blew his whistle, and the game that touched the hearts of countless people finally started!
The national team tried to follow Lippi's pre-match subordinates to advance quickly. They quickly hit the ball to the frontcourt. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a lack of tacit understanding among the players. There was a mistake in the pass and the ball fell to the Koreans.

Lippi and his assistants sat motionless on the bench, and he appeared very patient.

Lippi knows the special significance of this game to everyone. He believes that this is just a temporary nervousness of the disciples, and they should be adjusted soon.

Both Zhou Zhi and Feng Xiao were yelling for their teammates to hold on, Li Liang completed half-court sprints and quickly returned to his defensive position.

Lippi has a deep understanding of the characteristics of this group of players. In front of the tall, strong and powerful Koreans, he unexpectedly resorted to the "little fast spirit" midfielder and frontcourt combination.

Except for the strong striker Xu Bao who acts as a fulcrum at the front, the rest of the offensive players are all good at their feet with agility and outstanding skills.

Before the game, he told the players to stick to the ground ball, try to pass the midfield as quickly as possible, and create a local numerical advantage as much as possible through high-intensity running.

Completely different from Stielike's judgment, the Chinese team did not launch an attack around Li Liang after the opening game. Although Li Liang ran extremely aggressively, he didn't even have many chances to touch the ball.

Heizi in the stands couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked Lao Yu, "This is what happened, why didn't you give the ball to Liangzi?"

In his view, Li Liang, who has already played the main attacking midfielder in Monaco, should be the absolute core of the national team, instead of running around all over the field like this.

Old Yu replied: "Hush your voice! Don't make people laugh by saying such layman's words!
Do you understand what it means to confuse your opponent?He has never seen anything in the world, so there must be a reason for this arrangement! "

Heizi curled his lips, thinking that my brother acted like you participated in the preparation meeting of the national team!
Ding Ding, who was next to him, joined the Hurricane team for nearly a year. He said to Heizi and Lao Yu: "Our midfielder can't take advantage of the offensive position, so now the midfielder reduces personal dribbling and emphasizes fast passing— But Brother Liangzi does have a little bit of the ball."

The South Korean team attaches great importance to Li Liang, and specially arranged for Gao Mingzhen to mark in the midfield. Captain Ki Sung-yong also pays attention to protecting Gao Mingzhen at all times.

But to their surprise, as the game continued, the other players of the Chinese team still did not hand over the ball to Li Liang as expected.

Although the starting points are different, this is exactly the consensus reached by coach Lippi and Li Liang.

Before the game, Li Liang took the initiative to communicate with Lippi, and he told Lippi: "...I think that in the first half of the game, I should pay more for the team without the ball.

If I still follow my style of play in Monaco, first of all, I am afraid that it will be difficult to replicate that kind of tacit understanding with my teammates in the national team. Secondly, I feel that my state is not at my best, which may affect the team as a whole! "

Hearing this, Lippi was very moved, because this is actually what he and his assistants have been struggling with the most.

Take the forward pass as an example. Li Liang is used to targeting Falcao with excellent running awareness in Monaco, or Mbappe with amazing speed and explosive power. Frankly speaking, the national team has not yet reached this level of striker. Candidates.

Specifically, it is like Li Liang’s wonderful assist to Bakayoko in the 3:1 defeat of Manchester City. The arc of the kick allows the offensive player to complete the accelerated sprint. , a great test of Bakayoko's core strength and adjustment ability in the air, the performance of the two beyond the limit finally worked together to create this wonderful goal.

Lippi and his assistants knew very well that such a pass was rare in Asia, and it was impossible for the players to adapt to Li Liang's pass in the short training time.

There is no other way but to let Li Liang adapt to everyone.So before Li Liang returned to China to report, Lippi had already thought about these repeatedly.

Li Liang and Coach Lippi had the same ideas, and they reached an agreement-at least in the first half of the first half, to reduce Li Liang's possession of the ball.

This tactical design put the South Korean team's midfielder in a dilemma, and Stillik was even more confused.

He doesn't believe that the Chinese team will use a star like Li Liang to purely support and cover on the field. In his judgment, he thought that Li Liang would act as a hot spot in the frontcourt like the enhanced version of his side, Gu Zizhe, so his Most of the defensive tactics are designed with this in mind.

At present, the Chinese team does not have a "multi-core" style of play with Li Liang as the core, so the German coach didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
