After Chen Qi and his two friends found a place to have a simple dinner, they returned to the hotel with the care of their old mother and father. Dalic, who was standing at the window of the room, was relieved to see the young players return safely. Edson smiled and said, "Boss! There's no need to be so nervous, right? This is Scotland, not England, right?"
"I'm still worried."
"I'm glad you're back."
Dalich held a cup of coffee in his hand, leaned on the windowsill, took a sip, and continued, "By the way, what do you think of today's lineup? Can we play to our best strength?"
Edson stroked his chin, thought carefully, and said, "I think there may be room for improvement. The Czech Republic is indeed difficult, but our lineup is stronger after all, isn't it? If our players can play to their best strength, the score should be more than this."
"Your analysis is interesting."
"It seems that this lineup still needs to be strengthened."
Dalich put down the coffee cup, sat on the chair, half-lying on the table, and began to write and draw, formulating new tactics.
......
At the same time, at the Scottish National Training Base.
The tactical seminar room was brightly lit.
Steve Clarke, the head coach of the Scottish national team, frowned. He had no intention of intervening in the debate between the coaching staff members in front of him!
For him at present, helping the team stay in the knockout stage is the most important thing!
The first two rounds of the game.
First lost to the Czech Republic, and then tied with England.
They have only got 1 point so far, and they have come to the edge of the cliff!
In the last round, they must fight Croatia. Only by winning can they have the hope of advancing. If it is a draw or a loss, then unfortunately, as the host, they will break the hearts of the fans and end the journey of this European Cup in advance!
"Ahem."
Clark spoke, "Everyone be quiet, we have discussed for so long, can you give some solutions? The game will be in a few days!"
Coaching staff member: I think we should not defend, but attack! We are already the last one, there is nothing to worry about!
Coach: We have players such as McTominay, Robertson, Adams, McGinn, McGregor, etc. who play in the top five leagues. They are all very strong. Under their leadership, we may not lose!
Coach: That's right! In order to maximize everyone's strength, I suggest the 433 formation!
Coach: No! 433 is not very good. My personal suggestion is 352, three defenders + five midfielders, to control the ball firmly in hand!
Coach: I think...
After listening for more than ten minutes, Clark gradually made a decision in his heart, wrote down one name after another on the paper, and finally spread two sheets of paper and two sets of lineups in front of everyone.
Seriously said: "Then next, we will make a personnel allocation according to the established plan..."
......
2020, June 23.
The third round of the European Cup group stage is about to start.
Before the game, the Scottish bus stopped steadily at the entrance of the stadium, when Robertson led everyone down.
The fans cheered.
After all, it was the home court. Even though Scotland did not perform well in this tournament, they still received enthusiastic cheers from the fans.
When the Croatian bus arrived, there was no welcome.
Only some Croatian fans came around and asked for autographs and photos.
Modric, Chen Qi and others were open to everyone.
Soon, they walked into the locker room, changed their equipment and shoes, and prepared to play in the game.
At the press conference, it was much calmer than the previous tense situation.
Clark had only one request, "I don't know what the final result will be, but we just want to win. We have come to the edge of the cliff. If we want to enter the knockout stage, I'm sorry, Croatia, you should be prepared to lose!"
Dalic said seriously: "The same sentence is for you... But I don't believe that you can beat us. The winning streak is still very tempting. I want to sprint the record!"
At the end, the two smiled at each other and went back to the locker room to prepare for the game.
Half an hour later, the players from both sides met in the player tunnel.
, Chen Qi and Gwadiol are still in the starting lineup this time, quietly waiting to play.
The referee approached, picked up the ball, and appeared with the players of both teams.
The starting lineup has been announced.
Scotland, 352:
Goalkeeper: Marshall.
Defenders: Tierney, Hanley, McTominay.
Midfielders: Robertson, McGregor, McGinn, Armstrong, O'Donnell.
Forwards: Adams, Dykes.
Zhan Jun showed up on time and introduced the team's lineup. "If you are a friend who often watches the Premier League, you should know and be familiar with many of Scotland's starting players, such as Tierney of Arsenal, Robertson of Liverpool, and McTominay, the Manchester United midfielder who played as a central defender, etc!"
"Logically speaking, such a lineup should not have the current results."
"But Scotland is the team at the bottom."
"I can only say that football is too magical. The lineup cannot determine the outcome completely!"
"I am looking forward to what kind of performance Scotland, which has been forced to the edge of the cliff, will show today? Is it one-sided? Or is it evenly matched?"
"Wait and see!"
......
Croatia, 4231:
Goalkeeper: Livakovic.
Defenders: Juranovic, Vida, Lovren, Gvardiol.
Defensive midfielders: Kovacic, Brozovic.
Attacking midfielders: Perisic, Modric, Chen Qi.
Forward: Petkovic.
Zhang Lu introduced the lineup of the other team. "Croatia has been very strong recently, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with Rebic, who started in the last game and was a substitute in this game. I heard that he had some conflicts with the coaching staff."
"Looking at the current starting lineup, it should be correct."
"Croatia has basically no changes, still 4231 formation, but I don't know how it compares to the last game."
"Are there any special tactics at the beginning of this game!"
"Okay, with the referee's whistle."
"The game officially begins!"
