Chapter 455: Salted Fish Head Coach

Entering the player tunnel one after another, the substitute players came to the court to warm up with the ball and prepare for the second half. The fans in the auditorium were basically recovering. The entire forty-five minutes of investment in creating an atmosphere consumed no more physical energy than the players on the field. few.

The major TV stations reviewed the ending of the first half, allowing the fans in front of the TV to experience the highlights of Li Qing's one-on-one challenge against Belgium. Especially when the screen showed Li Qing's two wonderful goals, they couldn't help but marvel. People wonder if Li Qing's right foot is also his dominant foot...

After watching the two wonderful goals, Shao Shengyi, the commentator of China Channel 5’s Didu Studio, laughed and said: “I suspect that Li Qing’s right foot is also his dominant foot. Let’s take a look at the use of his two shooting kicks. , the movements are standard, like flowing clouds and flowing water, full of viewing pleasure. The first goal is a violent aesthetic, and the second goal is the perfect control of the football on the inside of the instep, a near-perfect arc, the goal... For Li Qing, it is still easy."

"His sixth game of this World Cup is about to enter the second half. Having already contributed 15 goals, will he continue to score in the next games? Let us wait and see..."

At the same time, Li Qing’s two goals in the first half were commented on on social platforms such as INS, Twitter, Facebook, and Qi Qi Di. Most fans felt that Li Qing’s two goals were intentional. , it’s not bullshit at all, and some fans think that Li Qing may have concealed the characteristics of balanced ball handling with his left and right feet for the World Cup in the past...

During the fifteen-minute intermission, fans were noisy on social platforms.

In the visiting team's locker room, which is also the Belgian locker room, head coach Martinez believes that Li Qing's two long-range shots were blinded. It is difficult for him to believe that a young player can deliberately hide his right and left foot for a key match in the World Cup. Characteristics with almost the same abilities.

Not to mention that dozens of games can be played in one day, even from the beginning of the World Cup to now, it is impossible for our side to keep a close eye on Li Qing.

Except for Argentina’s defensive weakness, which other team has poor defense?

Denmark is the best defensive team in the World Cup group stage, and Brazil's three lines are among the best in the world.

The most important thing is that Li Qing's second goal did not have any frontal interference from defensive players. As a top professional player, even Messi could have completed a right-footed shot into the far corner from that position.

However, in order to prevent another accident in the second half of the game, he asked the players to pay special attention to Li Qing's cutting in from the right. Once he came to the left, he mainly defended the pass and it was estimated that it would be difficult to shoot with his right foot, so he focused on interference. Avoid excessive physical exertion.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another to prepare for the second half of the game.

"Beep~"

The referee Cunha blew the whistle and the second half of the first semi-final of the 2018 Russia World Cup officially began.

The two sides changed sides and fought again. No one made any adjustments to the lineup. They were obviously quite satisfied with the performance of their respective players in the first half. The English players, who had the advantage of kicking off, followed the instructions of head coach Southgate during the halftime break. Arrangement proceeds in a step-by-step manner.

Li Qing is the English offensive player that Belgian defenders pay the most attention to, followed by Harry Kane and Sterling. Chike has strong breakthrough ability, but he is too young and his performance is not stable enough in a World Cup semi-final. In the first half The second goal conceded on the field was due to his passing error, and Belgium made an efficient counterattack.

"aooaooaoaooaoooooooo——"

The English fans at the Luzhniki Stadium were in high spirits and erupted into a tsunami-like roar.

In many cases, the performance of the fans is linked to the performance of the players on the field. For example, the fans are full of passion and there is an endless stream of support. The players on the field will more or less show their strengths. In addition, the English players have Li Qing’s two goals to equalize the score. The contribution of the ball made the whole team feel like they were on fire.

In the 48th minute, Harry Kane received a long pass from Li Qing from the right and headed the ball towards the goal, forcing Courtois to make a wonderful save.

Three minutes later, Sterling suddenly cut in from the left wing of the attack, accelerated past Fellaini and Witsel, and finished a powerful and heavy long-range shot before center back Kompany stepped forward. The football flew quickly towards the goal. In the upper left corner of the goal, goalkeeper Courtois gave up resistance, but the football missed the crossbar and went out of the baseline.

In the 54th minute, Li Qing passed the ball seemingly carelessly. The football rolled quickly from the offensive right rib to the defensive gap between Kompany and Alderweireld. Harry Kane also ran. It was in place, but unfortunately the shot was too weak, and Courtois threw the football under him.

England's three consecutive shots were extremely threatening. The England fans in the audience cheered louder and louder. Belgium head coach Martinez frowned and took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to make a tactical gesture to De Bruyne to signal his team. Fang should organize and threaten Pickford to guard the goal, otherwise England is likely to overtake the score in the second half.

"England was able to quickly create continuous threatening attacks, largely because the Belgian midfield trio moved too slowly. I think... at this time, Martinez should regret not bringing Nainggolan with him because of his impulsiveness."

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said solemnly.

"Nainggolan can definitely solve the dilemma encountered by the Belgian midfielder, but Martinez also has good reasons. Nainggolan is a thorn in the side, and it will be a big trouble to bring it to the World Cup..."

Guest commentator Xu Yang explained with a smile.

In the 1/8 finals, Belgium scored three goals in a row after conceding two goals first. Martinez did not want the drama that happened in the Sun Country to happen again to the Belgian national team he coached.

Two more minutes passed and the situation did not change significantly. Martinez decisively made substitution adjustments. Carrasco, who plays for the Dalian team in the Chinese Super League, replaced Fellaini to strengthen the attack on the English wing. , the formation changed from the original 433 to 4231, the back line remained unchanged, Dembele partnered with Witsel, Hazard and Carrasco played wingers, De Bruyne was responsible for threading the needle, and Lukaku was at the front.

The situation changes brought about by the formation change are relatively obvious. De Bruyne, who is only responsible for threading the needle, can focus more on doing what he is good at. England head coach Southgate also adjusted very quickly. On the 61st day of the game, At the minute, Dell was used to replace Chick, whose performance was not satisfactory, to strengthen the defense in the middle.

As the number of defenders in the center of England increased, Belgium's offense was greatly affected. England, which had solved the problem on the defensive end, was gradually able to create opportunities from defense to offense, but its ability to seize opportunities was slightly lacking.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said solemnly: "England created many opportunities in the second half, but in the end they failed to score. If the opportunity can be given to Li Qing, I think... the current score is England's reversal score." ”

The implication is that Li Qing should have taken the last shot.

England head coach Southgate naturally thought of this, but the Belgians were very focused on defense and did not give Li Qing an easy chance to shoot.

After a while, he sighed, opportunities should still be created...

If Li Qing knew what coach Southgate was thinking, he would definitely complain: "Head coach!"
