"France is not Spain, France will not capsize on the Chinese team, Henry will not be as depressed in the French team as he is at Arsenal, there is Zidane behind Henry, who is behind Dong?" The French newspaper "Team" was full of optimism when looking forward to the quarterfinals of the French team, "Being able to draw with the powerful Spain shows that the German Crouchen has been quite successful in transforming the technical and tactical skills of this Chinese team, but it is only technical and tactical, and the luck is too good, in the face of France, they have no chance of winning, and France can easily solve the battle in 90 minutes." ”

The French media thinks so, China's ability to draw with Spain is a technical and tactical victory, not a personal reflection of the player's ability.

"The two sides played a friendly match two months ago, when France won comfortably 3-1, and the Chinese team was completely unable to parry, of course, at that time, Dong was missing. However, there is no difference between one more Dong and one less. ”

"Advancing is already the biggest win, but we're going to go one step further!" The Chinese media don't think so.

"Fight France, we also have hope! Because there is one person in the Chinese team who can create miracles! Dong Fangzhuo can lead us to create miracles, we have the top scorer in the World Cup. ”

In the eyes of the Chinese people and the media, Dong Fangzhuo is the biggest asset of the Chinese team to create miracles, and now everyone believes that as long as there is Dong Fangzhuo, everything is possible.

Dong Fangzhuo is now very suitable for the advertising slogan he filmed for Li Ning on CCTV - everything is possible.

"As long as others hold the attack of the French team, and then rely on Dong Fangzhuo's flash of inspiration, they may succeed in the sneak attack......"

"France also played conservatively, and in the knockout rounds, they didn't dare to attack. Don't think of the French team as too strong, think about the fact that they didn't score a goal in the 2002 World Cup, you know that their attack is not as terrible as imagined, what Serie A, the Premier League's top scorer is just a scare, Dong Fangzhuo is not also in the Premier League and the Champions League is very good? ”

"But in this game, Crowchen can't play 433 anymore, it's so difficult to play Spain, play France, you should play 4321 formation."

Fans on the Internet have given advice to the national team.

Changing formations?

Crouchen was really thinking about it.

433 can only be used against teams with similar formations, or opponents who are weaker than themselves. Against the strong French team, Crowchen's 433 will definitely not be able to play, 4321 and 451 are both a good choice, at least the number of midfielders is superior, and the defense is advantageous, but the attack is sacrificed......

In the past two days, Crouchen has indeed changed his style of play in training, Dong Fangzhuo is still at the forefront alone, but the other personnel have changed a lot.

He was experimenting with 4231.

The goalkeeper is still Zeng Cheng, the central defenders from right to left are Xu Yunlong, Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang, and in the midfield, Zhao Xuri and Zheng Zhi occupy two positions in the back, in front of them are Hao Junmin, Chen Tao and Shao Jiayi, and the forward Dong Fangzhuo.

Krauchen needed to defend, but he didn't give up on attacking either. There are as many as four former youth team players in the midfield, which may be the capital of his daring to do so.

His real formation is not actually 451, but 4231. Qu Bo and Mao Jianqing performed well, but the characteristics of the French team are not suitable for their speedy players, and players such as Shanghao Junmin and Chen Tao may be more conducive to China's struggle for control in midfield.

Before China and France, seven quarter-finals were decided first, with hosts Germany beating Sweden 2-0, England taking Ecuador 1-0, Portugal beating the mighty Netherlands 1-0, Italy beating Australia 1-0, Brazil beating Ghana 3-0 and Spain beating Switzerland 2-0.

This......

Before the big game, Dong Fangzhuo took a look at the battle table, only to find that the trend of the World Cup is different from the previous life, whether it is the Chinese team or the French team, the opponent will be Italy......

What's the matter, the butterfly effect?

Dong Fangzhuo smiled bitterly.

Maybe the Italian champions are gone, and the process is different, and the result is likely to be different.

※※※※

"We can't underestimate the Chinese team, Dong is a rather dangerous guy, keep an eye on him, and we will be half the battle." Henry made a rare expression of caution before the game. He can't help but be as blindly optimistic as the media and fans, Dong Fangzhuo has suffered countless times in the league, and if he hadn't broken out continuously at the end of last season, even the top scorer would have been snatched away by Dong Fangzhuo.

The same sentiment was shared by French midfielder Patrick Vieira: "I think it's a big problem in the board game, so our defenders have to concentrate and don't let him touch the ball in the box. ”

Only Zidane's voice was the most domineering: "France's goal is the championship, we want to beat any opponent." ”

In the end, Crouchen used the 4231 to meet the French team, which was exactly the same formation and players as the players in training.

Goalkeeper: Liu Yunfei

Defenders: Xu Yunlong, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang

Midfielders: Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, Chen Tao, Shao Jiayi

Forward: Dong Fangzhuo

On the French side, almost all the main forces that can be sent are sent, and they also play in the 4231 formation, but their lineup is simply a bit against the sky......

Goalkeeper: Butters

Defenders: Sagnol, Thuram, Galla, Abidal

Midfielders: Patrick Vieira, Claude Makelele, Franck Ribery, Zinedine Zidane, Malouda

Striker: Thierry Henry

June 27, 16:00 p.m. German time, Hannover Stadium.

The match between China and France is on the verge of breaking out.

The Italian coach Lippi in a suit and leather shoes sat in the ordinary stands with a frown, and the purpose of coming here was naturally to watch the match between the Chinese team and the French team, or more precisely, to inspect the French team.

He doesn't think the Chinese team will be able to advance to the quarterfinals.

Although this is not the result he wants to see, the promotion of the French team is a high probability event, and Italy cannot meet the French team in advance.

"France, ahem,"

"We need players like Zheng Zhi."

Huang Jianxiang thought with a straight face......

"France's central defender Galla is Dong Fangzhuo's favorite opponent, he has been able to take advantage of Galla many times in the Premier League, of course, with Makelele and Vieira in the middle to protect, Dong Fangzhuo should be difficult to get the ball this time......"

In the players' tunnel, Thuram patted Gala's shoulder as a big brother and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm by my side this time......"

Gala looked embarrassed, he certainly understood what Thuram meant......
