There is a dream called football

Chapter 371 Both sides are very calm
In the player tunnel, Gerrard and Li Qiao met. Although the two are not in the same club anymore, their relationship is still the same.

"Steven, you are so ruthless."

"Haha, there is no way, or you will pass by, and we will lose the ball."

"No way."

"It's a pleasure to meet again on the court, and it's a game like the World Cup."

Li Qiao nodded.

Jo Lee and Gerrard have had a magical season together, and it's something that's indelible in both minds.

A man's friendship may be different from a woman's. A man's friendship means that the more he experiences, the less he talks. At the fork in the road leading to the home and away teams, Gerald patted Li Qiao, "Let's get together when we have time."

"Forget it, I want my team to go further."

"Really? I thought your Chinese team's goal had been achieved."

"Haha."

In the locker room this time, Zhu Guanghu's mentality was much more relaxed than the previous game against Sweden. The reason is also very simple, that is, the Chinese team's tactics are effective, at least the no-front formation is effective.

A team is not afraid of difficulties, but is afraid of helplessness, even having no way out, that is the most uncomfortable thing.

"Everyone can see that our tactics are completely effective and we can play England at a [-]-[-]."

Zhu Guanghu's words were exaggerated. Except for the score, everything else was crushed by the opponent, but as the coach, he had to say that, otherwise the players would lose confidence even more.

"In the second half we have to repeat the tactics of the first half, first with five backs, and then we wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

Everyone nodded. This tactic has high execution power, so everyone understands it.

The so-called high-execution tactics mean that everyone knows what to do. If Guardiola is asked to explain the tactics to everyone, then not many people may understand.

Eriksson is very calm about this kind of situation, even he is used to it. Football is round, and a strong team may not immediately defeat a weak team. There have been too many upsets in the history of the World Cup. In 1990, the defending champion Argentina was upset. In 2002, the defending champion France was upset.

This is also the charm of football. Of course Eriksson understands, but having said that, he is still very confident in defeating the Chinese team.

"We can stick to the concept since the qualifiers. I have nothing new to teach you. It is not easy to break the dense defense. The opponent has arranged 5 defenders and a lot of people in the midfield. This kind of game is like an attack."

"But I think as long as we lead, the opponent will be discouraged, so this game is not difficult to play."

Everyone also nodded. In the World Cup qualifiers, England also faced many weak teams. It was very difficult when they were 0-0, but as long as they took the lead, everything would be easy, and the opponent's defense might be defeated.

But let me remind you that anyone in the Chinese team can pass the ball, except Li Qiao. As long as Li Qiao holds the ball, our defense must be upgraded to another level.

Everyone nodded.

This has already been experienced in the actual game. Li Qiao's level is comparable to that of the England team.

"Uncle, I bought you black tea."

"Thank you."

Li Shan is very satisfied with the beautiful and sensible Lorinda.

"Uncle, can I make a request?"

"any request."

"I'm very curious if you can give me a photo of Li Qiao when he was a child."

"Haha, yes, I asked Li Qiao's mother to scan it for you."

"Thank you."

"By the way, uncle, why do you want to be a coach? I think it's very hard. You already have a very good career in China."

Li Shan paused. In fact, he was still hesitant about this until now, saying that he pursued his dreams without regrets, but in reality, everyone is afraid of difficulties. Whenever he encounters difficulties, Li Shan will waver whether his original choice was wrong.

"Son, to be honest, it's really not easy to persevere, but I have to thank Li Qiao for this matter. He brought me a dream."

"Ha ha."

"What I'm saying is true."

……

"Maybe people can really burst out with great potential in front of their dreams. I regret that I didn't play football when Li Qiao was so old, otherwise I might also participate in the World Cup."

"You two really look alike, maybe that's why I like Li Qiao."

"Thank you very much for taking care of Li Qiao."

"I take care of Li Qiao?" Lorinda smiled. "Actually, he takes care of me most of the time."

"Go back to China when you have time and meet Li Qiao's grandma."

"Ah."

In the CCTV studio, the two are doing the permutations and combinations that Chinese fans are best at. To be honest, to be a Chinese fan, you must be good at mathematics, otherwise it will not work.

"If the Chinese team draws with England, then the two points in the first two games may lead to a tie against Paraguay in the final round."

"The premise is that Sweden draws with Paraguay and England beats Sweden in the third round."

"It's a little difficult."

"However, if the Chinese team beats Paraguay after scoring two points, then there is no need to look at other people's faces."

"Well, this one is more difficult."

However, after analysis and analysis, everyone was surprised to find that the situation of qualifying for the national football team is actually not bad, at least it is in a balanced situation with the other three teams.

There is no advantage, but the fate is completely in their own hands. Of course, if Paraguay beats the Chinese team in the third round, then there will be nothing wrong with the Chinese team.

But in theory, Paraguay is a relatively weak team in Group B except for the Chinese team.

"Of course, the game is not over. We can also imagine if we beat England. Jianxiang thinks that the Chinese team has any tricks for substitutions in the second half."

"I think Gao Lin has been on the sidelines for half the time, and he will probably play in the second half. In the World Championships last year, Gao Lin performed well, but for the adult national team, I think it's hard to say. Using Gao Lin is a double-edged sword."

Duan Xuan nodded, "But I think what Director Zhu means is to have a fulcrum in the penalty area, just like Li Weifeng did in the last game, but it can't be regarded as a conventional tactic."

"Hehe, but I have to say that Li Weifeng is really the only one who can play a center in the Chinese team. Other than that, he is unreliable."

"Yes, the ability to fight and grab points in the penalty area cannot be developed overnight. I have to admire the big head's ability in this regard."

"Also, Li Jinyu should give him a chance."

"When it comes to fighting back, Dayu is a bit slow. It depends on how Director Zhu employs people."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players had already come out one after another. It was foreseeable that England would never accept a draw in the second half.
