"The situation of qualifying in other groups is relatively clear, but Group F and Group G are confused. Are these two groups guessing riddles each other? If the first round of the group is not equalized by Colombia at the last moment, then as long as the Chinese team wins in the second round, they will have a chance to qualify in advance. Even if they get three points in the second round, they may not be able to ensure their qualifying. Group G will definitely have to wait until the third round before they meet. Of course, I personally think that the Chinese team can tie with Colombia, and it should be relatively easier to play against Côte d'Ivoire."

"But we can't underestimate them. After all, after the first round draw, for the four teams, qualifying is full of possibilities. Although Ivory Coast is weak on the cards, their goal is very clear, which is to compete for the opportunity to qualify, so the second round of the game is more important. For the Chinese team, the truth is the same!"

"After two rounds, the other three Asian teams have been eliminated and they have returned home early. Asian fans have placed their hopes on the Chinese team. If the Chinese team also loses the game, the Asian team is likely to be wiped out in the group stage. This will definitely be a big blow to the quota of the future World Cup qualifiers, and the quota may be reduced by half at that time."

Huang Jianxiang appeared in Sochi and planned to go to a Chinese base to interview the team, but Mourinho closed the training ground, and even Chinese media reporters could not go in to interview and watch.

"Murinho has never interviewed the media since he was preparing for the game. We have no way to know what tactics they will adopt in the second round..."

Huang Jianxiang looked at the closed training ground gate with a look of helplessness.

I still remember that in 2002, the door of the Chinese team was always open to the media. Now the Chinese team is like a strong team aimed at winning the championship and will not give the media a chance to disturb them. This is the difference...

However, such a move just shows the Chinese team's seriousness in preparing for the game, and is definitely not a joke!

In the training base, Mourinho is indeed preparing for the next game meticulously.

How the media speculates is the media's business. As the commander of the army, he naturally has his own opinions.

In addition to strength, Ivory Coast was able to draw Belgium, and luck also occupied a big factor. In that game, Belgium could not get a goal with 20 shots. You can imagine how lucky Ivory Coast was.

So Mourinho did not retreat because they tied Belgium in the last round. At the tactical meeting, he clearly pointed out: "Côte d'Ivoire is a paper tiger. In the last game, they actually consumed less physical strength than us. A team cannot always win the game by luck. In this game tonight, we only have one goal, that is, crazy attack."

The first round is conservative, but the second round is different. In the first round, each team plays more conservatively because they are afraid of losing points. After the baptism of the first round, there will be a new change in both the state and the mentality of the players in the second round. The second round is also the best time to grab points, so Mourinho changed his strategy. He doesn't want the team to wait until the third round to gamble with Belgium.

If you can score three points on Côte d'Ivoire, there will be many choices in the third round of the match against Belgium. In recent days, the Chinese team has been practicing offensive scoring tactics, especially focusing on practicing set-piece offensive tactics. This set-piece tactic is mainly performed on the premise that the opponent is fouled and Liu Hao cannot shoot directly.

The opponent will definitely often foul the goal far away from the goal, so that Liu Hao will not leave a chance to shoot, but this does not mean that the Chinese team cannot make good use of such a set piece opportunity. Although Liu Hao cannot shoot, he can assist his teammates in scoring by taking the set piece.

Mourinho is a tactical master, and he will not waste such opportunities in vain! I don’t know how many important games are scored through set pieces! As long as Côte d’Ivoire dares to send fouls, it means that the Chinese team has many opportunities. Especially on the premise that the Chinese team takes the initiative to attack!

After Côte drew the powerful Belgium in the first round, they may have tasted the sweetness of defensive counterattacks, so they are likely to adopt a relatively conservative strategy when playing against the Chinese team.

Mourinho has always allowed the team to conduct large amounts of exercise training, but can preserve physical fitness and focus on practicing set-piece offense. Of course, Liu Hao has to work much harder. After all, only he can get the best results when he takes the set-piece.

In the past two days, he has punished at least two thousand set pieces. Mourinho has practiced dozens of set pieces tactics, and almost every player has participated in set pieces offense.

With such a tactic, you must ensure that the whole people are soldiers and that the entire team can operate efficiently.

If you can get more than a dozen offensive opportunities for long-range set pieces in one game, it means there are more than a dozen ways to score!

A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Côte d'Ivoire may never know which player will eventually penetrate their goal!

There were coaches who used Liu Hao like this before, but they were basically used in corner kick tactics. Now Mourinho has expanded all over the place and he will not miss any chance of set pieces in the frontcourt!

Of course, it’s not enough to have good shell conveyors, and there are also masters who can seize the opportunity to score. This is where Mourinho frowned. Except for a few European players, other domestic players can’t shoot. If there are still a few top shooters, Mourinho may be more daring to think about the future!

But that's the case, it's more than enough to deal with Côte d'Ivoire.

As most people expected, Ivory Coast still chose to be conservative! They decided to play the role of elephant dancing. To be honest, the team of Ivory Coast is definitely not as good as being attacked and defended with all their attacks. After all, their huge height advantage will definitely be able to gain a lot of advantage in the frontcourt.

But they played defensive counterattacks, they placed heavy troops in the midfield and tried to fight against the Chinese team in the midfield. Therefore, as Mourinho thought, they gave a lot of set pieces in the midfield!

Then, the tragedy happened!

Côte d'Ivoire completely falls into the set piece tactics set by Mourinho!

When Liu Hao sent the ball to an inconspicuous teammate, Ivory Coast discovered that they had been hit!

That teammate is Cai Huikang!

Even Chinese fans would not have thought that one day, the Chinese team's sweeping engineer Cai Huikang could actually score a goal in the World Cup!

Cai Huikang has always been able to stay in the middle and backcourt to guard. Who would have thought that he could also break out of the crowd and send the ball to the goal net? A hundred choices would be the most inconspicuous one...

And this is just the beginning of the Chinese team massacre of African giants!

Many people thought this would be another difficult game, but the result of the first half was shocking!

The Chinese team pried open the Ivory Coast three times in a row ball in the 13th, 26th and 37th!

The half-time made Cote d'Ivoire completely desperate!

And three goals were obtained through set pieces!

At this time, the live broadcast commentators and head coaches who were paying attention to the performance of the Chinese team were exclaiming!

This is Mourinho and the Chinese team’s most practical and terrifying killer!

It is not the only way to rely on Liu Hao’s goals! Liu Hao’s set piece assists and set piece tactics from any angle are the most flexible and practical!

This gave other teams a terrifying question.

Then, is it a very dangerous thing to give the Chinese team an inconspicuous set-piece opportunity in the future?

Originally, one move was very popular, but now the Chinese team has upgraded and new tactics have appeared, which naturally makes the opponent feel very troubled.

Of course, for Chinese fans, they have more happiness, which means that the Chinese team has more capital to move forward...
