There is a belief called football

Chapter 194 Just pass it on to Li Qiao
When the intermission was over and the players walked out of the player tunnel, there was a commotion in the stadium stands. The Chinese players thought it was the fans welcoming them to the field, but after a closer look, they found that it was because "Fran" of the Uruguayan team was standing on the sidelines, and the fourth official was standing next to Fran holding a substitution sign. The fans knew that Fran was going to play, so they cheered.

To be honest, Forlan does have the qualifications of a first-class star-handsome face, smart skills, if it is not for the waste of Manchester United career, Forlan's achievements will not be lower than his juniors "Suarez", "Cavani" and so on.

When Fran was about to play, he bent down and touched the lawn, and then ran onto the court. At the same time, the female fans at the scene screamed loudly, all of which were so harsh to the ears of Chinese players.

Perhaps from the point of view of the score alone, it makes sense for the fans to support Uruguay, but the Chinese team is working hard. Maybe all efforts need a goal. The players of the Chinese team did not have too many injuries. !
*****
After Fran came on the field, he replaced the midfielder "Stuani".

But judging from the previous Uruguay games, if Forlan, Suarez and Cavani played at the same time, Uruguay would be more like a 433 formation, which is a bit like Barcelona, ​​but it doesn’t matter. One thing is for sure, that is, Uruguay was stronger in the second half, at least in terms of offense.

Stan stood on the sidelines with his hands folded in front of his chest. As a strict head coach, he needed to interpret the opponent’s changes at any time. Stan found that after Forlan came on the field, he didn’t play right winger, nor did he stand parallel to Suarez and Cavani, but ran behind Cavani and Suarez to form an inverted triangle position.

Thinking of this, Stan felt nervous. The opponent's head coach "Tabarez" is really an old fox. Indeed, although Uruguay's two sharp strikers - Suarez and Cavani both showed extraordinary abilities in the first half of the game, the cooperation between the two of them was average.

So Tabarez replaced Forlan in the second half, so that he was behind the two, like a thread, to organize the two forwards.

Having understood the other party's intentions, Stan decided to deal with it quickly, but what should he do?Stan frowned. To be honest, Stan really had nothing to do. In the first half, the Chinese team defended against Suarez and Cavani.

*****
All this was noticed by Stan on the sidelines. In fact, there were also people on the court who saw it clearly, and that was Li Qiao, Wei Xiao, and Sun Jihai.

Li Qiao "stands guard" in the opponent's half. He knew that there was nothing he could do, but Wei Xiao and Sun Jihai faced the challenge head-on, so they couldn't do nothing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's corner kick, Wei Xiao and Sun Jihai quickly exchanged a few words, and finally decided that Wei Xiao will focus on Fran, and Sun Jihai will make up for the vacancy left by Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao did this because when he was at Tottenham, the head coach asked him to keep an eye on the opponent's midfielder. The midfielder is the initiator of the pass. As long as the midfielder is restricted, the forward forward will lose its threat.

In the first half, Uruguay’s 442 did not have an attacking midfielder, and the four midfielders were in parallel positions, so the Chinese team had no way to focus on anyone in particular. In the second half, although Uruguay still had four midfielders, Forlan was the core. Everyone on this earth knows, so the thief is the first to capture the king.

When Stan was thinking hard, he suddenly saw a subtle change in the positions of Sun Jihai and Wei Xiao. After thinking about it for a while, Stan smiled and said, "You brat, you are smarter than me."

Players who are good at asserting are more extreme, either hopeless - such as Cassano, or leader - such as Cantona in his heyday.

But now Wei Xiao looks more like the second type.

As soon as Forlan came on the court, Uruguay’s possession of the ball was very characteristic. If you get the distribution map of passing routes after the game, you will see that Uruguay’s ball path is very similar to an "hourglass".

At this time, Wei Xiao's football talent was seen. He kept a close eye on Fran, and as soon as Fran was about to get the ball, he would attack fiercely. Fran avoided the first two times.

After several rounds like this, the pressure on the Chinese team's rear was lessened, and Zheng Zhi also noticed something, he slowly approached Wei Xiao, and took the initiative to help Wei Xiao defend.

Uruguay didn't know if it was because Forlan's status in the team was too high, or because of the tactical arrangement of the coach's midfielder. In short, even if everyone found out that it was not a good idea to give the ball to Forlan, Uruguay's midfielders still passed the ball to him without hesitation.

As a result, the Chinese team was even more determined to grab the ball. Wei Xiao and Zheng Zhi exchanged glances.

Wei Xiao saw the timing, took two steps forward, stepped up with his left foot very close to Fran, and then stretched his right foot to the limit to destroy Fran's ball.

Fran felt that Wei Xiao was a little different this time. If they confronted each other head-on, both of them would suffer. Fran was going to smash the ball.

Just when Fran smashed the ball, changed direction, and was about to evade Wei Xiao's tackle, Zheng Zhi was waiting there, and Fran's spike was tantamount to passing the ball to Zheng Zhi.

When Li Qiao saw Zheng Zhi taking the ball, he immediately started it. Lugano, who was beside him, saw Li Qiao started it, and sneered, "Just one person, we have 5 people in the backcourt, even if Beckham passed the ball, so what if it was Ronaldo who started the ball in front?"
This time Zheng Zhi learned the lesson from the previous pass. Last time he paid attention to accuracy, so he was not strong enough. This time he didn’t care so much, he put more power on his feet, and just wanted to pass it.

Zheng Zhi's big foot almost made the opponent laugh, "What is this? A pass? Or the goalkeeper's big foot", the Uruguayan player thought.

It is true that Zheng Zhi chose the goalkeeper's big kick. We all know that the goalkeeper kicks the ball, basically he only wants to kick far, not accurate.

But when the Uruguayans laughed at the poor footwork of the Chinese players, one person noticed something was wrong, and that was "Cáceres" who played for Juventus. The Uruguayan defense line was only followed by Li Qiao when he started.

The goalkeeper "Muslera" saw that the situation was not good and was about to attack, but the chasing "Cáceres" gestured to Muslera, signaling him not to attack and he could solve it by himself.

The current situation is that "Cáceres" is on Li Qiao's right, the ball is in front of him, and "Maxi Pereira" is chasing desperately behind him on the left side. It can be said that Li Qiao is facing a difficult situation.

First, Zheng Zhi's ball is very powerful, and after hitting the ground, he will jump high and fly out of the baseline. The only way is to remove the ball with his feet before it touches the ground.

A long pass at a distance of 50 meters is very powerful. It is normal to unload the ball with the instep and stop it 10 meters away, but if that is the case, the ball belongs to the opponent "Cáceres", what should I do?
Of course, there is another way to stop the ball at a distance of no more than 10 meters, such as 5 meters, 3 meters?But that kind of situation can only appear in Superman or Spiderman comics. It is impossible in reality. This is not scientific, and it is not a question of whether the technology is good or not.

Li Qiao didn't think too much, because as a player who played football since he was a child, he knew from experience how far the ball would stop, so he knew that as soon as he touched the ball, he would definitely stop the ball and give it to the opponent.

Li Qiao squinted at the opponent's goal, and suddenly had an idea. According to his own judgment, he could meet the falling football after running 10 meters, and now he is about 35 meters away from the goal (the person who takes the free kick is more sensitive to this).

That is to say, my last point of contact with the ball will be about 25 meters away from the opponent's goal—in other words, it has already entered Li Qiao's shooting range.

And the ball coming from behind has a lot of kinetic energy, so it is not easy to stop the ball, but if you use your strength to hit the ball and kick it in the direction of the ball, it will be four or two.

Hehe, if you just think about it in your head, don't you think this plan is perfect?But this requires that the kicking part is very accurate when shooting. If it is a little lower, the ball will fly into the sky.

Why is Zidane's "Flying Immortal" volley in the 2002 UEFA Champions League final regarded as a classic?It is because this kind of volley requires a good sense of the space of the ball to hold the ball down. If you don't understand, you can try it yourself and you will know.

But Li Qiao had no choice. It was impossible to stop the ball. If the ball didn't stop, the ball would go out of the baseline after rebounding. With no choice, Li Qiao followed the ball and volleyed. To be on the safe side, Li Qiao added topspin.

Then Li Qiao could only watch the ball fly away.
