Chapter 861 Lead the snake out of the hole
It started to drizzle over St. Petersburg at some point, which was a bit like the winter in southern China. Such a light rain was just a timely rain, which just sootheed the nerves and bodies of the players on the field.
Lopetegui and Mourinho are no exception. Both of them are standing in the rain to command the game, but Lopetegui's face is tense, while Mourinho is calm. This is caused by the current situation of both sides. If the Chinese team is behind, then Mourinho may be the one with ugly face. The position of the head coach is not easy to stay.
Both of them have their own good cards. Mourinho took the lead in playing the second card in the first card. The first card is naturally the starting lineup change, and the second card is the replacement of Lin Liangming.
Lopetegui's first card was also a change in formation. With a double center, it can be said that the first card of both sides was very beautiful, but Lopetegui has not played the second card yet. The big screen has shown that the game time has approached 70 minutes, and he must change it.
If the double center still cannot score, what should he do?
Facing the mysterious Chinese team, he was not so determined. It is obviously unreasonable to withdraw a center. After all, the score is still behind, and a forward is added? In theory, it is appropriate, but what if the Chinese team makes another sneak attack?
At this moment, he was a little difficult to get off, and on the court, there were frightened birds.
But, is there a way out?
He turned his head and glanced behind him, staring at Barcelona midfielder Iniesta. At this time, he remembered Iniesta again. Perhaps only he can save Spain Yu Kuanglan again.
Iniesta actually didn't sit on the bench and warmed up on the sidelines early. Maybe he knew that Lopetegui would definitely send him on the court?
Lao Bai was a little lazy and strolling in the garden, just like preparing for a very ordinary football game. He was used to the storm and big scenes, and he was still able to maintain a calm heart at such moments, which is incomparable to other players, and it was a bit like Liu Hao's expression in the player channel before the opening.
As a 34-year-old veteran, he knows what he wants to do and doesn't need a reminder at all.
However, Lopetegui was a little unhappy. He has been holding Iniesta on the bench since the start of the game and did not start him. When he was given a game, he made great achievements. After the game, he was criticized by the media and fans, saying that Iniesta should be allowed to play the main player, not the substitute. The credit was Iniesta, not him, Lopetegui.
Now, Iniesta is going to save the scene again!
However, if it fails, it shouldn't be the one who takes the blame yourself, right?
In fact, Lopetegui was just comforting himself and finding a reason to continue letting Iniesta play.
Sure enough, two minutes later, he replaced Martinez with Iniesta, removed his already-back midfielder and added an attacking midfielder!
It's also about to fight. There's really not much time left for him and Spain, and with stoppage time, it's only twenty-three or four minutes.
Mourinho is not a fool. When he saw Lopetegui replaced Iniesta, he immediately replaced Liang Zhao with Cai Huikang!
If you think about it, you will know that it is to let Cai Huikang come up to defend Iniesta. In Mourinho's opinion, Iniesta is one of the most awesome players of this era. It is reasonable to use Cai Huikang to toss him.
Lopetegui glared at his big eyes, obviously unhappy with Mourinho's reaction. He then waved the flag and continued to play the second substitution sign, under Mata, and up Pedro.
Mourinho seemed to have guessed it too, and took Zhang Xizhe and replaced Wu Xi.
Now, Mourinho finally turned the formation into 433, and not attacking Spain, which was equivalent to completely giving up the previous tactics. He changed as soon as he said something, and it became quite exaggerated, and he took the initiative to force Spain to change.
However, Mourinho's three substitutions have been used up, and Spain has one more unchanged.
This is Lopetegui's only advantage.
So after Mourinho used up the substitution quota, he waved his hand and continued to substitution! Withdrew the left back Alba and went to Munier.
This is the opposite rhythm to the Chinese team formation!
They just want to continue to attack wildly. At this time, the players on their field were all offensive, except for Busquets.
Lopetegui was even a little proud because Mourinho should have no cards to play... After all, he has one more place.
Later, his formation seemed even more extreme, and he actually replicated the previous 424 formation of the Chinese team.
However, the Chinese team immediately responded, and the formation immediately became 4321. Huang Rongzheng, Cai Huikang and Wu Xi were in charge of the three back midfielders, Liu Hao and Ling Zhenbang were in charge of the front midfielders, and Lin Liangming suddenly stepped forward! A complete Christmas tree formation.
"Ah, Mourinho's transformation of the formation is really amazing, especially the use of Huang Rongzheng of the team, is a completely decisive conspiracy. Huang Rongzheng is originally a midfield coach, and he has long thought of such a tactic. Once the Chinese team leads, why must he keep Huang Rongzheng for this game before he can play? Could it be that he has long been able to assume that the Chinese team will meet the Spanish team?" Huang Jianxiang was shocked and sighed, puzzled.
Mourinho's thoughts and tactics were easy to guess in the past, but now it's different!
"The combination of Ling Zhenbang and Liu Hao's front midfielder is also very strange. The former is a weird person, while the latter is killed with one blow. With the extremely fast Lin Liangming in front, it is simply perfect!"
Tsk tsk...
Huang Jianxiang continued to exclaim.
Of course, Lopetegui didn't expect Mourinho to play the players and formations so perfectly. He wanted to use crazy attacks to oppress the Chinese team, but he was helpless to find that after the Chinese team stationed troops in the middle and backcourts, the Spanish discovered that their offensive space was completely gone...
What's more, the Chinese team's current ball-handling disadvantage is gradually disappearing! At least it is not as embarrassing as before.
After a loss in Spain, the ball was firmly controlled by the Chinese team! And, are they not in a hurry to attack?
Lopetegui had to order his players to participate in the ball grab even more crazily! Without the right to do the ball, how to talk about starting an attack?
Spain also has such a miserable time!
They had to rush toward Chinese players, especially those who were attacking in front of them, and they were almost crazy!
And an unexpected scene appeared again...
Those guys are still there.
Huang Rongzheng took the ball and quickly transferred Ling Zhenbang.
Ling Zhenbang directly knocked on Liu Hao's feet, who was running in place. Liu Hao did not choose to stop the ball, and directly passed the middle like a scalpel...
Spain's defense was broken through again!
Chapter completed!
