I am Chuqiu Wang

Chapter 704 The Final is Coming
"Morning, Brother Zheng."

As soon as Wang Huo went out, he saw Zheng Zhi pushing the door and coming out.

"Morning, Captain."

Zheng Zhi smiled and asked, "Where's Xiao Dong?"

"I just woke up, squatting in the pit."

"You're disgusting, shouldn't you be having breakfast now?"

"Isn't it disgusting to ask you? Is he squatting disgusting? Instead, it's my problem?" Wang Hao made a gesture to pounce on him, Zheng Zhi repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Don't make trouble, I can't compare with you young people."

"Morning, everyone, just now I heard you talking about squatting in a pit?"

Qin Sheng, who was also going out, rushed up and put his hands on Wang Huo and Zheng Zhi's necks and asked.

"You heard me wrong, Brother Dong is eating."

"Hahaha, you are really hurt, I will definitely tell Xiaodong later."

Resting all night, the mental outlook of the Chinese team is much better than yesterday.

During breakfast, the atmosphere was very good, and everyone chatted and laughed for a while.

The little old man also seldom talked dirty jokes with them. Everyone didn't expect that the serious French little old man was also an old man.

Of course, Monsieur Coach declares that this is a French romance.

After the meal, everyone gathered in the conference room, and the coaching staff once again emphasized the technical characteristics of the French players.

There is basically no secret about the French starters, basically those people.

Then I simply did some low-intensity ball training, and then went back to the meeting room to watch a movie to relax.

There is a movie on the top, and the players below chat or play poker and chess. Before the finals, it is mainly to relax. If you don’t find something to do, everyone will easily get nervous and cranky.

Dong Fangzhuo pursed his lips, raised his head and said to the front screen, "I want us to create miracles like the Germans."

Wang Wei smiled noncommittally. The movie played on it was an old movie "The Miracle of Bern", but they knew how the Germans won.

Seeing that no one answered, Dong Fangzhuo continued: "The Germans are addicted to drugs."

After staying in England for a long time, Dong Fangzhuo also looks down on other countries in the European continent. The environment is like this. He is not a particularly assertive person, and his teammates are all English.

Wang Wei shook his head and said: "At that time, there was no one who didn't take drugs. Now Yankees still have asthma and hyperactivity all day long. Football has always been a winner's game. When talking about Uruguay or Italy, who remembers that no one participated in the World Cup or Italy in the early years? That championship was won solely because the opponent sympathized with them."

"Like the glory of Real Madrid under Franco?"

"I dare not say that, there are so many Real Madrid fans."

"What's going on, tell me about it."

Zhang Linfan came over and asked.

"It's no big deal. It happened decades ago. Who knows if it's true or not."

Wang Huo didn't care much, no matter how unconvinced you are, it won't change anything.

Real Madrid's Champions League is the real thing, and now Manchester United has surpassed Real Madrid and broken the record. In contrast, Manchester United's honor is even more irreproducible.

Seeing that Wang Huo didn't say anything, Dong Fangzhuo knew what happened and didn't know why, and could only say conclusions but couldn't tell the specific situation, Zhang Linfan scratched his head and scratched his head.

Men sometimes gossip, but they like it in different directions.

Don't you see that the men in the Northeast or the roots of the imperial city open and shut up all day long because of the international situation.

Seeing that they didn't talk, Zhang Linfan took the initiative to talk about what he had seen and heard at Arsenal, which attracted many teammates to come over.

At the beginning of this century, Arsenal under Wenger attracted the attention of many fans with its gorgeous style of play. You may not like Arsenal as a team, but it is hard not to like their style of play.

When Wang Huo wanted to play for Sir Alex Ferguson or Mr. Wenger, he was influenced by Arsenal's style of play, so even if he had the memory of his previous life, he had the idea of ​​going to Arsenal. Taking the initiative to jump into the pit shows the attractiveness of Arsenal.

Not to mention in the national football team, even ordinary football fans can tell the glory of Arsenal's undefeated season.

Of course, how glorious it was before will be more abject in the future.

Arsenal fans finally drove Wenger away. They thought it would be nothing but nothing. When they see that Arsenal are really going to fight for relegation, they may hear the voice of the man who still maintained his demeanor in the face of criticism at Highbury Stadium. French old man.

This feeling can be treated as a recollection, but it was lost at the time.

Who would have thought that after being bloodbathed by Manchester United 8:2, Arteta, who was bought by the transfer fee left by Fabregas, would become the mainstay of the team. Of course, he returned to Arsenal after retiring is another story.

……

After lunch, the team simply played some small games.

It's still early, and it's still a collective relaxation before stepping on the field.

As the final time draws near, the Chinese players are inevitably a little nervous.

Even those players who don't have a strong sense of national honor have been infected by their surroundings. The phone calls with their families these days are basically the same tone: "Oh, now the community knows that you are in Russia, take back the World Cup." "Let me tell you, kill those Frenchmen. I went to your grandfather's grave and told him about these things two days ago. You didn't know it. At that time, there was a thunderous thunder. This is your grandfather's hope to win."

Even Wang Xie's father called three times a day, telling him that he must go all out to win glory for the country.

The international players who were already a little nervous really felt the ardent hope of the people of the whole country and their parents and relatives, and also felt the heavy burden on their shoulders.

At around [-]:[-] p.m., the whole Chinese team came out of the station and boarded the luxury bus one by one.

But everyone was not in the mood to experience the advanced technology of the bus, and everyone's faces were less smiles and more serious.

Needless to say, the treatment of the Chinese team, with the cooperation of the Russian police, they arrived at the Luzhkini Stadium earlier than France.

Speaking of the relationship between Wang Hao and this stadium, he has won all the previous times. This is the fourth visit to Luzhkini since the beginning of this World Cup, and the first three times are still all victories.

Even Wang Ji, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, prayed silently the moment he stepped into the safe passage, hoping that this place would remain his blessed land as always.

Walking into the locker room, the atmosphere of the competition has already arrived. Everyone changed their equipment silently, and then went to the court to warm up.

……

"Hi everyone, welcome to watch the national TV. The World Cup final will start in one hour. Players from both sides have come to the Luzhniki Stadium to warm up. What we see now is the warm-up situation of the players from both sides."

"I heard that the atmosphere of the national team is good, and everyone's spirits are high."

"Yes, let's contact the reporter ahead to ask about the current stadium situation. Hello, Mingming..."

"...Hello host, hello fans all over the country. I am now located outside the Luzhkini Stadium in Moscow. You can see that fans are entering the stadium one after another."

"Good Mingming, how's the weather in Moscow today?"

"It's sunny in Moscow today. The outdoor temperature is 18°C, but it may drop after the game starts. Many fans are wearing jackets and coats."

"Okay, thank you Mingming for bringing us the situation ahead."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two sides. The French team's formation today is 4231. Deschamps' team is mainly defensive, using fast counterattacks to reach the final. Goalkeeper: Lloris; Defenders: Hernandez, Watson Lal, Umtiti, Pawar; Midfielders: Pogba, Kante, Matuidi; Forwards: Mbappe, Giroud, Griezmann."

"This is almost the strongest squad in the French team, and these players performed quite well in their respective teams last season."

"Yes, like Pogba and Kante are very good midfielders, their talents are beyond doubt, striker Griezmann is the core of Atletico Madrid captain, Mbappe and Wang Xie are teammates, defensive line Lane used to be a Manchester United player and won a lot of honors after joining Real Madrid, Umtiti is known as the hope of Barcelona's defense, today must be a fierce battle."

"It should be like this. Although the formation given by the French team is 4231, in fact, they generally play 442 in the game. On the whole, the French team adopted a 422 formation in this World Cup, but this 442 seems to be the best. It's a bit weird. The right midfielder Mbappe is actually more like a winger than a traditional winger; while the left midfielder Matuidi is more like a midfielder than a winger. The French team's offense is also mainly on the right, and the proportion of right-sided offense is around 45%, so the French team is 442, and there are two very strange things: the first is that Deschamps' 442 is not one orthodox The second, 442, as a relatively balanced formation, has a serious right leaning on the French team.

So the French team is more like a 433, or a 4312.Giroud is the fulcrum of the striker.Although he does not undertake the task of scoring goals, Giroud has become an indispensable fulcrum for the striker due to his strong body and ability to hold the ball with his back, as well as the good sense of cooperation and passing skills that he trained in Arsenal at the time. He and Dong Fangzhuo are very similar in role. Although Xiao Dong scored more goals, both of them are indeed forwards with great tactical effects. "

"Yes, for the Chinese team, the French team is a completely different opponent. Their strikers include Giroud and Griezmann. Although the two players have different roles, they can indeed play a very good tactical role."

"Another key point is that the French team is also a slow-paced team. Even though they are not very good in various defensive details, they can still play relatively good defensive results. To a large extent, it is because of the French team. The overall offensive rhythm of the team is relatively slow. Although we saw that the French team played a defensive counterattack and the speed was very fast, in fact, their number of rounds in the game was relatively small. Deducting the confrontation with Argentina, the French team Almost no goals conceded. Under normal circumstances, the French team rarely gives enough chances to the opponent. The French team is very well controlled in terms of the number of shots taken! Among all the knockout teams, the French team has the least number of shots. One of two teams with just 9.3 attempts per game, only higher than Spain.

But you must know that Spain's possession rate exceeds [-]%, while the French team's possession rate is only [-]%.From this level, Spain's strong offensive caused the opponents to have no chance to shoot, while the French team reduced the number of opponents' shots because of the relatively slow offensive rhythm. "

"The slow offensive rhythm of the French team will also have a great impact on the Chinese team. The Chinese team has always used defensive counterattacks, hoping that the opponent will come up with a fast pace and catch the opponent by surprise when they counterattack. Therefore, the previous opponents They all suffered from the Chinese team, but with the slow-paced overall defense of the French team, the Chinese team may not have as many opportunities as before."

"France's defense can be divided into two stages. The first stage is in the opening stage, when the two sides are in balance, the French team has no advantage, they will launch an aggressive press near the halfway line, using Matuidi , Kanter and Pogba, the three midfielders jointly strangled the opponent. On the one hand, this can greatly reduce the distance of the team's counterattack and sprint, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the defensive pressure on the central defender.

The absence of Arsenal captain Koscielny due to injury made the French team's central defender look more than capable, but inexperienced. Among the big giants, they all belong to the role of "follower". Varane relies on the big tree of Ramos, and Umtiti relies on the big tree of Pique. They do not have the strength to be the leader of the defense line. It is also a good benefit for the Chinese team. "

"Yes, Wang Hao is familiar with Varane's defensive habits. I hope he can create more opportunities today. However, Wu Sanshi's last red suspension also had a lot of impact on the Chinese team. Sanshi's offense and defense The performance at both ends is still very good, although he has never started, but every time he played, he executed the coach's tactical intention very well."

"I believe everyone is also curious about the starting lineup of the Chinese team today, so let's introduce it next."

He Wei saw that the players from both sides had already entered the player tunnel, so he stopped analyzing the tactics of the French team.

"Goalkeeper: Yan Yanling; Defenders: Hao Junmin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linfan, Li Xuepeng; Midfielders: Zheng Zhi, Qin Sheng, Wang Huo; Forwards: Wei Shihao, Dong Fangzhuo, Zhang Yuning."

"The formation given by the Chinese team today is 433, what do you think of He Wei?"

"I definitely think this is Pi Shuai's adjustment for France. First of all, although the French team seems to be a strong team in the middle, they actually use a lot of wings, so adding players to the wings is very important for defense. Necessary, of course it also helps in offense.”

"But Zhang Yuning has not been able to play before. Although Wei Shihao scored goals when he played, his role in both offense and defense is not as great as Wu Sanshi."

"It is indeed the case, but Wu Sanshi is suspended, and Pi Shuai has no more choices in the current situation. I know that many fans hope that the national team can solve the problem by stacking defenses as before, but the French team and what we encountered before The team is very different, if you blindly defend, you will definitely not be able to solve the problem, so I think Pi Shuai still made the best choice."

At this time, the players from both sides walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee team.

The Sino-French battle in the World Cup final is on the verge of breaking out.

……

……

　After all, Aoki solved the problem yesterday. Varane's debut was really stable. Sancho still needs to integrate more into the team. Martial came off the bench yesterday but was a lot of surprises, and he ran a lot more actively.
