Chapter 278: Born like a summer flower, extremely brilliant

If we turn back time, to that winter night eleven years ago, we will clearly find that even though they are two different eras, the two generations of young people have also undergone tremendous changes in their thinking.

However, the common emotions of human beings remain unchanged.

Under the starry night, Li Mo, who opened his arms and laughed to greet his teammates in celebration, seemed to gradually overlap with the figure of Yu Genwei who scored the winning goal.

The younger generation of fans, just like their elder brothers and their fathers, cheered thunderously in the New Wulihe Stadium.

The entire land of China seemed to be awakened by this goal. From south to north, there were cheers celebrating the goal. Some fans who had prepared in advance even lit the first firecrackers.

Duan Xuan opened his voice to explain passionately. His hands were shaking a little, but his voice was still clear and powerful.

"Li Mo——!!! Thirty minutes of the first half! Shafei failed to save Li Mo's free kick! After protecting his teammates, Li Mo broke through with an extremely beautiful free kick.

The door of the Jordan team helped the Chinese team open the scoring! 1-0! The tickets for the World Cup are just around the corner! Hold on and hold on until the end of the game! We will definitely be able to do it! Come on, Chinese team!!!"

General Fan clenched his fists. He was not a professional commentator like Duan Xuan, and he did not have such good emotional control. His voice was trembling at this moment.

"Don't get too excited. You have to keep your mentality stable and calm down. If the referee doesn't blow the whistle, we can't relax too much."

Lao Fan actually wanted to go to the stage, cheer heartily with the fans, and vent his pent-up emotions for the past ten years.

Being a fan is extremely happy at this time, but Lao Fan cannot just be a pure fan.

He still stood on the player's side and called on the players and fans over and over again to calm down.

As long as the final whistle does not blow, anything can happen on the field. Lao Fan has suffered a lot in the world preliminaries and knows the importance of mentality.

And the high-level instructor on the sidelines obviously had the same idea as General Fan.

While everyone on the bench rushed to the sidelines to hug and celebrate passionately, Coach Gao forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

In last year's Asian Cup, he led the team to train and was eliminated. He suffered too much abuse and ridicule. Many of the fans who made bad remarks at the time changed their attitudes later and became die-hard "high maintenance fans."

This made Director Gao clearly understand that on the football field, only when you truly win, and wait until the moment the game ends, you truly win, and everything else is nonsense.

Fans can support him because he led the team to win continuously in the World Cup preliminaries after the Asian Cup, but they can also change their attitude and blame him again because of the defeat in this game. Therefore, he does not want to waste too much time before he actually wins the game.

Spend more time celebrating.

Of course, it is normal for fans to do this. They support when they win and criticize when they lose. This is competitive sports, and there is nothing to blame for these behaviors.

Coach Gao has seen through this, so he always stays awake and is always ready to "cool down" overly passionate players on the court.

"Director Gao walked to the sidelines and seemed to be gesturing to the celebrating players to keep calm. This is right, this is correct! Someone in our team must always suppress their emotions and control the mentality of the players. Really

After winning the game, you can celebrate in any way, but at this time you have to exercise restraint, don’t give the Jordanians any chance, continue to put pressure on them, play calmly, and strive to score more goals!”

General Fan very much agreed with Director Gao's approach, and the players of the Chinese national team who had gathered together to celebrate passionately just now quickly came to their senses when they saw the calm face of Director Gao on the sidelines.

Li Mo patted the shoulders and backs of each teammate, indicating that everyone should quickly return to their own half, and at the same time nodded slightly to the high-level coach on the sidelines.

Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng also shouted to calm down their teammates. It was only 1-0, but it was far from a sure win. They had to keep up their efforts and strive for another goal!

※※※

Adnan, the head coach of the Jordan team, was standing on the sidelines at the moment, touching his chin with a helpless expression.

It took a lot of effort to build up the team's morale before the game. This game was all about trying to score a point at the Chinese national team's home court. But now that Li Mo scored the goal, his tactical arrangement had to be overturned.

There was nothing I could do. In the second round of the top ten, the damn Japanese team didn't make any moves and beat them 6-0!

It is impossible to beat Oman and Australia in terms of goal difference. No matter how many they concede, it is almost impossible to concede six goals in a game.

Therefore, if Jordan wants to fight for the third position in the group, it must defeat the other two teams in terms of points.

There is no such thing as "lose less and win more" in today's game.

When the Chinese team couldn't score, Jordan defended to the end. But now that the Chinese team broke the deadlock, Jordan had to attack.

If they lose one, they lose, but with luck, if they win one back, they will have the capital to defend.

The top ten games have reached the fifth round. Except for the Chinese team, which has completely won, the other four teams in Group B have no room to retreat. Especially the teams ranked in the bottom three, they can only fight to the death.

born!

Without too much hesitation, Adnan made a gesture to change tactics before the referee blew the whistle to signal the game to restart.

After receiving timely tactical adjustments from the head coach, the players on the Jordan team quickly unified their thinking.

The panic after being broken into gradually dissipated.

At this moment, they have no escape route, so there is no need to be afraid. They can just give it a try.

After the restart, Li Mo, who was in the Jordanian half, quickly noticed the change in the position of the Jordanian players.

Jordan, who previously played a 5-4 formation, after a simple adjustment, boldly pressed forward and changed the formation to a 3-4-3!

The two wide midfielders who were assisting in the defense pushed up to the front line. Such a bold adjustment made Li Mo immediately admire the Jordan team's head coach.

Let’s not talk about the effectiveness of tactics. Just looking at his courage and courage, he is worthy of being a coach who can lead Jordan to the top ten games.

As expected, the Chinese players in the backcourt didn't react. After the Jordan team pressed on, they quickly launched several five-man forward offensives in the Chinese team's half!

Goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who started the game today, had a solemn expression on his face and quickly reminded the players on the back line to pay attention to each other's coverage and not to let Jordan's offensive players easily hit the ball behind them.

Currently, the Hua Guo team's defense is solid, but neither Li Weifeng nor Sun Jihai on the left can increase their speed.

Although Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng are quick to chase back, there are always two points on the defense that can be exploited by the Jordan team, so more attention should be paid.

Zheng Zhi directed the other players on the midfield line to retreat and defend. He and Hao Junmin were positioned deeper. Wu Sanshi also came back to assist Sun Jihai in intercepting the opponent's advance from the wing.

Huang Bowen swept the interception in the right half, and Gao Lin almost retreated to the center circle, leaving only Li Mo in front of the Jordan team's central defender to act as a counterattack knife.

This is the current tactical execution efficiency of the Chinese national team.

No player has special privileges. When defending, no matter you are a winger or a center, you have your own defensive responsibilities.

Li Mo has the strongest personal ability and needs to put pressure on the opponent at all times. If this was the last ten minutes of the second half, Li Mo might also run back to the penalty area and defend as a central defender.

"Our response was very timely, and the preparation work done by Director Gao before the game was also very sufficient. We would rather be more stable than give the Jordan team any chance! Keep pressing and defending the Jordanian offensive players, they will not be able to break us

A solid line of defense!”

In Duan Xuan's high tone, fans across the country cheered for the Chinese team.

Director Gao calmly crossed his arms and stood on the sidelines.

He believes in his players. This is the time to compete for patience, and they still have a one-goal lead. There is no need to panic. The longer the time goes on, the more anxious it will be for the Jordanian players.

And the Chinese players on the field lived up to the expectations of all the fans and the trust of the head coach.

Tighten the defense and play steadily. They are not afraid of the high ball. They fight for speed with Wu Sanshi on the left and Zhang Linpeng on the right. No matter how hard the Jordan team bombards me, I remain unmoved!

During this period, Li Mo also received Zheng Zhi's long pass and almost staged a 1V3 long-distance attack in the hinterland of Jordan. If the Jordanian team's central defender had not forced him to stop at the cost of a yellow card, the Chinese team might have been able to win in the first half.

In the 40th minute, the second goal was celebrated.

This counterattack by the Chinese team scared the players of the Jordanian team into a cold sweat.

As long as Li Mo got the ball, turned around and charged, none of their three central defenders could keep up. This time, one central defender received a yellow card and forced Li Mo to stop him. What about next time?

Moreover, it is really dangerous for a central defender to carry a yellow card. When defending from behind, he may not dare to make any big moves, and the defensive efficiency will drop a lot.

With lingering fears, the Jordanian players seemed to be worried about gains and losses, while General Fan kept praising Li Mo's role.

"Anyway, Xiao Li is stuck in your hinterland. You dare to press forward and attack like this again. This time you were lucky and blocked it, but you can't stop it every time? Adnan must target Xiao Li's point.

To make tactical adjustments, at least one defensive midfielder must be brought back to defend. If you lack a midfielder to distribute the ball in your offense, your efficiency will naturally drop again. If you go back and forth, the situation will return to the way it was before. In short, time

They are on our side, there is no need to be anxious, the less anxious we are, the more anxious they will be."

Lao Fan sat in the live studio and talked eloquently. When it came to observing and explaining the situation on the court, Duan Xuan could only listen to him.

The fans were also entertained. Lao Fan's meaning was very clear: Anyway, the Chinese team now occupies the advantage and initiative on the court. Whether it is defense or counterattack, it can affect the nerves of the Jordan team players and slowly play with them.

We don't need to panic at all.

However, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half just when the Chinese team was about to blow the counterattack horn.

Jordan head coach Adnan breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, and then took the lead in walking to the player tunnel with his assistant coach.

The halftime break was short, and he had to seize the time to make tactical adjustments. This was also the Jordan team's last chance.

The players of the Huaguo team also took the time to trot back to the locker room, ready to listen to Coach Gao's arrangements for the second half of the game.

Li Mo high-fived his teammates one by one on the way back to the locker room. After entering the locker room, he took off his shoes and socks. Everyone exchanged a few words and then turned to look at the senior coach who walked in.

"We played well in the first half." Director Gao showed a warm smile on his face, but he still emphasized: "But there are still forty-five minutes in the second half. No one can relax at this time. I know everyone is going to

I spent a lot of energy in the first half and was very tired. I watched your crazy pressing and running on the field. I was very happy and distressed. However, until the last moment, we were not sure that we would win the game.

If you keep persisting and win today’s game, we will celebrate happily tonight!”

"Okay! Don't worry! We all have enough physical strength! We have to outrun them!"

"They can't even think of scoring a goal today! No way!"

"Everyone has a great time tonight. We are all going to work hard now. It's only a matter of half time. I don't want to be a bear. I also want to be a hero for a while!"

The players of the Huaguo team were very high-spirited and clapped their chests and promised to win the game. Li Mo also roared twice. The atmosphere in the team was extremely hot for a while, and their hearts were also extremely hot.

Coach Gao smiled and stretched out his hand to press down, asking the assistant coach to bring over the tactical board, and then began to lay out the tactical arrangements for the second half.
