There is a belief called football

Chapter 348 There is a feeling of playing the European Cup
When the players from both sides entered the field, the audience shouted: "Australia...Australia...Australia",
The number of fans in this game is 4-6. The Australian fans of the home team account for [-]%. With the help of advance organization and on-site DJ, the stadium atmosphere created by the home team is far stronger than that of the visiting team "China".

The atmosphere at the scene was so enthusiastic that the live broadcast reminded several times - "Please be quiet, the national anthem will be played next", and the fans slowly quieted down.

The Chinese national anthem was played first. The Chinese team sang the national anthem shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm. The camera swept over the faces of the Chinese team players. What did the boys' firm eyes seem to say?Is it an honor?Is it longing?Maybe it's just a responsibility, a responsibility to fight for the country.

When the Chinese national anthem was played, the audience burst into applause, and some Australian fans also gave applause.

The Australian national anthem was to be played next. The audience stood up and tens of thousands of people sang the national anthem loudly. The scene was really spectacular. The live director cut the camera to a little Australian girl. The little girl looked very small, probably about 5 years old, but she sang the national anthem with a serious expression on her face and bulging veins, which inspired many people.

After the national anthem, the players shook hands and the captain took sides.

The captain of the Chinese team "Zhou Dun" and the Australian captain "Yedinak" began to pick sides under the leadership of the referee "Ali Reza" from Iran.

Zhou Dun wanted heads, "Ali Reza" tossed the coin, and finally the coin decided that the Chinese team kicked off first in the first half.

After picking a side, Zhou Dun ran back to his own half, and the players formed a circle, just like in the World Cup, and everyone encouraged each other.

Zhou Dun shouted: "Take back the championship trophy".

Everyone answered in unison: "Okay!"
*****
Compared with the previous game, the starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game has only one position change-that is, "Wang Kong" who was suspended by the red card cannot play. Stan chose Zhou Dun to play the midfielder in advance, and Zhang Linpeng started to play the position of left center back.

This should be after the last game against the Japanese team. Stan felt that Zhou Dun played well as a midfielder, so he simply let him play this position.

The opponent of the Chinese team - Australia's starting lineup is exactly the same as in the semi-finals.

Goalkeeper - Ryan.

Defense - Franjic, Spiranovic, Sainsbury, Davidson.

Midfielders - Jedinak, Milligan, Luorg.

Frontcourt - Lackey, Cahill, Kruse.

Australia's head coach "Postkoglu" like "Stan" is a person who advocates offense, so after he took office, some of Australia's old veterans also left the national team.

*****
The referee blew his whistle and the game started. The Chinese team made a pass back, and the captain Zhou Dun took the ball. He took a few steps, and Yedinak rushed over immediately. Zhou Dun was not afraid. He turned his body sideways, ready to face "Yedinak".

But as soon as the body touched, Zhou Dun flew out, and the referee called "Yedinak" for a collision foul.

"Yedinak" blinked at Zhou Dun with a smile on his face, and then made a gesture of getting up, "Hey, get up quickly, don't pretend, this is men's football, not women's football."

But Zhou Dun's move was obviously negligent, and he was severely hit. After the team doctor Dong Zhou entered the field and gave Zhou Dun's shoulder a simple treatment, Zhou Dun returned to the game.

Yedinak plays for the Crystal Palace team in the Premier League. Fans who have watched the Crystal Palace game will understand the style of this team. Simply put, it is a "bulldozer" style. Being hit by "Yedinak" is really like being hit by a Spanish bull. Zhou Dun was too confident and did not remember what Stan said - Australia is not an Asian team.

After suffering a loss, the Chinese team's midfielder accelerated the pass and did not compete with the Australians. Although there were three players in the midfield, the three midfielders of the Japanese team in the game played skills, while the three midfielders of the Australian team were dedicated to kicking people's ankles.

Liao Lisheng of the Chinese team was a little slow in passing the ball. Immediately, "Milligan" stepped on his ankle. The players of the Chinese team quit.

This is the home field advantage. Under normal circumstances, the referee's penalty will be biased towards the home team, but no matter what, the Australians know very well that if there is a big move after this verbal warning, the referee will not show mercy.

The three midfielders of the Australian team have a tacit understanding. For a few minutes at this time, they were very honest and did not make any big rough moves.

When the game went on for 5 minutes, the fans only saw rough fouls and did not appreciate the beauty of football.

As the so-called "no name in the big competition since ancient times", under normal circumstances, the finals of large-scale competitions are "ugly". "Ibrahimovic" once said, "No matter how beautiful you play, people will only remember the final champion."

Ten years or 10 years later, when people talk about the 20 Asian Cup in Australia, they may remember who is the champion, but they will never remember who is the runner-up, so as long as they can win the final, any means are acceptable.

Under the fierce pressure of the Australian midfielder, the Chinese midfielder felt unable to support it. "Yedinak" seems to have transferred the "Crystal Palace" to "Chelsea" and applied it to the Chinese team.

After the first 10 minutes of dismounting, the Australians were no longer rough, but stuck up after the Chinese team got the ball, that is, stuck behind your back. The Chinese team's midfielder was not as good as the opponent, and after being stuck, they couldn't turn around. The only option was to pass back to the defender. In this way, the Chinese team's offense became no threat.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Stan thought for a while and thought of a way. He gestured to Li Qiao and asked Li Qiao to retreat and call 442 instead. Stan understood that if the technique is really good, it can fight against roughness.

For example, Messi does not have any physical advantages, but with his unrivaled skills, many big defenders just can't help him.

After Li Qiao retreated, the Chinese team changed to play 4 midfielders, with a diamond-shaped position, Zhou Dun was the defensive midfielder, Li Qiao was the front midfielder, Liao Lisheng was on the left, and Zhang Xizhe was on the right.

*****
The Chinese team has changed, how has Australia's defense changed?
The captain "Jedinak" looked at the head coach "Postkoglu" on the sidelines. There are 3 Australian midfielders, but now the Chinese team has 4. What to do?This needs to be arranged by the head coach.

"Postkoglu" gestured towards the court, asking "Yedinak" to mark Li Qiao, and released Zhou Dun, while the other two remained unchanged.

There was a brief moment of confusion when Australia changed their formation, and then their defensive shelf was firmly established again.

Li Qiao was bumped from behind by "Yedinak", and staggered under his feet, "Damn, it's hard to meet such a player in the Bundesliga."

Of course, the scale of the Bundesliga is not as big as that of the Premier League. If the Reading striker knocked out Cech in the Bundesliga, he would have been banned for one year.

To be honest, many actions of the Premier League teams, especially the mid-lower teams, are life-threatening. It is said that the Premier League is hot and beautiful, but the probability of being crippled by playing in the Premier League is also very high.

Jedinak relied on his unreasonable bumping to defend Li Qiao. The effect was really good at first, but around the fifth time, Li Qiao finally broke out and pushed "Yedinak".

The Iranian referee rushed over to separate the players. Li Qiao complained to the referee: "This is not a football move. He is a madman. In the Bundesliga, his first move should be a card."

Li Qiao's English is very good, and Yedinak could hear it clearly. He made a gesture of wiping his eyes, mocking Li Qiao as a "baby" who was wronged and looked for his mother.

"The referee is not your mother, are you a mother?"Jedinak said.

In the end, the referee gave each person a verbal warning, but Li Qiao quit. He pointed to the referee's jacket pocket and said, "Did you not bring a yellow card?"
The Iranian referee might think that Li Qiao was insulting him, but he played his cards this time and gave Li Qiao a yellow card without hesitation.

A really good player can suppress his anger, Li Qiao stuck out his tongue, then turned and left silently.

The game continued, the Australians still dominated the midfield, and whenever they had the opportunity, they made long passes to find "Cahill" on the front line, just like they did when they played against the Dutch team in the World Cup in Brazil.

"Postkoglu" is really good. The tactics he formulated are very effective. This is how Australia used to beat the Japanese team before, and now it is used on the Chinese team.

Stan was drinking water from the sidelines. He saw the crux of the problem, but he could do nothing. The key to the Chinese team was Li Qiao. He could not expect "Liao Lisheng" to be the core of the attack, and Lin Zhijian and Ding Mu could not retreat. A certain counterattack force must be reserved in front, otherwise the Australians would be even more unscrupulous.

After thinking about it, Stan gestured to Zhou Dun, asking him to give the ball to Li Qiao, but Zhou Dun didn't understand, as soon as the ball reached Li Qiao's feet, Li Qiao was kicked!

Zhou Dun looked at Stan with blank eyes, but he saw that Stan's eyes were firm, and finally he chose to believe in Stan.

Zhou Dun passed a straight pass to Li Qiao, and "Jedinak" grinned. How many attacking midfielders in the Premier League bowed to his rough style of play-Chelsea's "Oscar", Liverpool's "Coutinho", Manchester United's "Mata", Arsenal's "Ozil", who has not been swept by the bearded "Jedinak".

While watching the football rolling in front of him, Li Qiao felt that the sound of breathing from behind was getting closer and closer. Without turning around, he knew what "Yedinak" was going to do.

He made up his mind that Li Qiao must not let "Yedinak" succeed this time, he turned around before the ball came over.
