    After taking the lead, the Chinese team controlled the game with the cheers of the fans and started to control the ball. Costa Rica's number one star Wan Qiaopu did not fail under the personal marking of Li Wei, who also lacked speed, body and confrontation ability.  What opportunities can he get? Li Wei, who has been training in the Premier League for several years, is already a typical British central defender - not afraid of fighting, brave and decisive, although he is a little irritable, but he also relies on speed and confrontation to deal with Wanchope.  There is no big problem for forwards who are capable of playing.

    In the rest of the first half, both sides created several shots each, but they failed to pose much threat to the opponent's goal. As the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Chinese team successfully  The two-goal lead was maintained until the end.

    The Chinese fans sent the Chinese team players back to the locker room with the warmest cheers. The players also smiled and applauded in the stands as they walked to the players' tunnel - the warm atmosphere on the Chinese team's side was just right.  It is in sharp contrast to the serious-looking Costa Rican players.

    After entering the locker room, the players of the Chinese team still maintained a good mood, talking and laughing while doing their own things. Milu did not stop them from this seemingly casual approach, but smiled.  Looking on from the sidelines, after such an outstanding performance in the first half, they were entitled to such a short period of relaxation. Milu still understood the principle of relaxation.

    When the chatter and laughter gradually subsided and the players had almost put on clean jerseys and tidied up their sneakers, Milu then spoke: "I played very well in the first half, really."

    Having said this, Milu couldn't help but smile: "You completely followed the tactics prescribed before the game and achieved good results leading by two goals. This laid a solid foundation for our game in the second half.  ." He turned to the tactical layout: "After the second half begins, we will slow down the pace, control the ball more in the backcourt, and lure the opponent to press forward. Then we will speed up the counterattack. In the second half, we will definitely be able to gain a lot of points!  There are few counterattack opportunities, and all that remains is to see how many we can seize Remember one sentence, we don't need to forcefully strengthen our offense in order to win the goal difference. The most important thing is to get three points. Do you understand?  "

    "Got it!" the players responded in unison.  Although the answers were not as impressive as before the game started, they were still consistent.

    "There is one more thing that everyone should pay attention to." Pei Wei added next to him: "Their movements may become larger. Everyone should pay attention to protecting themselves on the court Sun Chenghai almost got a kick from them in the first half.  , If he hadn¡¯t discovered it quickly, you probably would have had a chance to appear, Comrade Xu.¡±

    There was a burst of laughter, and the players began to joke about the substitute right back Xu Yunlong, but Xu Yunlong curled his lips: "Damn. If this is really the case, I will be the first to go up and slap that girl!"

    "Then we have no right back." Pei Wei shrugged: "You all must pay attention to learning to be calm on the court and not to be angered by the opponent's provocation, because this is exactly what the opponent wants to see  It's a good thing to be bloody, but you can't use it in inappropriate places. Otherwise, you will suffer unnecessary losses even though the other party is in the wrong. Is this worth it? "

    "Pei is right." Milu nodded: "In today's game, our first goal is to get three points, and the second is to try not to eat cards and affect the subsequent games. The third is not to show up.  Players are injured so we can slow down the pace in the second half. After all, it's not us who are anxious now Okay, let's start the rest now, the second half of the game is about to start! "

    ***************************************

    After the start of the second half.  Costa Rica indeed launched a fierce attack - just like the Chinese team, they were not too sure about whether they could defeat Brazil. They also set their sights on qualifying for second place in the group, and defeating the Chinese team was their first step.  The first condition to achieve this step is that now facing a two-goal deficit, of course they have no choice but to launch an onslaught!

    Midfielder Fonseca dribbled the ball along the middle. Before Li Gang came up to defend, he distributed the ball to the wing. The full-back who assisted Li Gang directly passed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Li Wei followed Wan Qiao.  Pu jumped up, but who knew that Wan Qiaopu was just a cover.  The ball flew directly to the back point, and another striker Gomez got in front of General Fan and hit the goal!

    Jiang Hai showed off the advantages of his height and long arms, and saved the shot with a beautiful side dive with one palm.  Sun Chenghai immediately came up and kicked the ball away.

    Adriano, who returned to the center circle, jumped high and passed the ball to Nie Fei behind him. Seeing that there was no chance to counterattack, Nie Fei controlled the ball in a circle and then passed the ball back behind him.  Deco, the Chinese team played in controlball.

    There are two technical players in the midfield, Deco and Nie Fei.

    Players are here, and holding the ball back and forth is not a transfer station for the current Chinese team. The ball is constantly passed back and forth under the feet of the Chinese team players, from left to right, and then from right to left again - Chinese team  They are extremely patient in passing the ball. Of course, they now have the qualifications to be patient.

    After nearly three minutes of passing back and forth, Wu Jiying, who provided the assist, barely made a pass under the pressure of two opposing defenders. Hao Dong ended the attack with a header in front of the goal. Then the Chinese team players immediately rushed towards the goal like a tide.  He retreated in his own half and started a new round of defense.

    The Chinese team generally puts in seven defensive players when defending. In addition to the four defenders, Deco and Ma Tian have returned to the midfielder position to help defend. Both of them are defensive players with both offense and defense.  Both one-on-one defense and regional defense are done quite well. In such a defensive situation with a numerical advantage, it is difficult for Costa Rica to score goals with its offensive ability.

    In fact, in the history of this World Cup, Costa Rica's offensive ability was not particularly outstanding. Although they scored five goals in three games, the two goals against the Chinese team were both due to the Chinese team's own mistakes.  The defense showed a lack of concentration. Against Turkey, they pressed hard at all costs before equalizing at the last moment. Although Brazil scored two goals, it was only after Brazil qualified early and won a big score.  They only took the opportunity to score two goals when they were leading. In fact, their offensive ability was really not that good.

    After the Chinese team consciously increased the time of each attack, Costa Rica also had fewer offensive opportunities. As time went by, Costa Rica's offense became more and more impatient. It often used high balls from both sides to directly find Wanchope in the penalty area.  Point, such a simple offensive method will naturally not cause any trouble to the Chinese team. Under the defense of two central defenders with speed and jumping ability, it is difficult for a high ball of this level to pose a threat to the Chinese team's goal, not to mention that there are still many people in front of the goal.  There is a river with a height of 1.98 meters.

    You know, after the Dutch team missed the World Cup, and after Van der Sar, who was also 1.98 meters tall, failed to appear in the World Cup, Jiang Hai became the tallest player in this World Cup - the second tallest was the Italian substitute.  Goalkeeper Toldo, he is only one centimeter shorter than Jiang Hai.

    Of course, this is also due to the failure of the Czech Republic in Europe to appear in this World Cup. Otherwise, just one Jankoler would be able to suppress everyone in terms of height.

    When there is such a person in the penalty area who can control the sky, Costa Rica will have a hard time playing high balls. They do not have an advantage in fighting for headers. Even if they occasionally occupy a good position, Jiang Hai will attack them accurately.  The top of the head picks the ball off in advance.

    Seeing that the situation could not be opened up, Costa Rica's head coach Guimar?es began to make substitutions. He first replaced the next midfielder, and then replaced a defender with forward Sun Xing. The formation became three-four-three and began to strengthen the attack.

    "Haha, Alexander, the timing of this substitution is quite good." Milu glanced towards the Costa Rica coaching bench, with a smile in his eyes - Alexander Guimar?es, who was born in Brazil, is the history of Costa Rica.  One of the best players in the world, he represented the Costa Rica national team in all four games of the 1990 World Cup. It was Milutinovic, the current head coach of the Chinese team, who led Costa Rica in the cup.

    During that period, Guimar?es received quite a lot of guidance from Milu, which played a big role in his coaching career after hanging up his boots in 1992. Although he had not worked with Milu as a coach, he was  For him, Milu can be regarded as a good mentor and helpful friend in his coaching career.

    "Your coaching level is now very strong. It's just a pity that as a coach, it's not enough to have keen judgment. You also need to have a strong team and an understanding of the opponent It's a pity that here  I have the advantage on both points," Milu thought in his mind, then reached out and called Zhu Guosheng over.

    "Now you go to warm up and come on in five minutes." Milu said to Zhu Guosheng: "After you come on the field, you have only one task, and that is to fight for the header! When the opponent passes from both sides, you have to be there immediately.  Click below, do you understand?¡±

    "Understood!" Zhu Guosheng replied excitedly, then took off his jacket and started running to warm up - this is about to be his first time playing in the World Cup!

    Five minutes later, Zhu Guosheng appeared near the midline of the court. He replaced Hao Dong, who was starting to be unable to run. The Chinese team's formation changed to 541. It was obvious that Milu was ready to start defending.

    "Haha, Alexander, I have another advantage, and it is a real advantage! That is two goals.?Leading!  Do you think you still have a chance to win?  "
