Chapter 861: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Over St. Petersburg, a light rain began to fall at some point, a bit like winter in southern China. Such a light rain is timely rain, which just soothes the nerves and bodies of the players on the field.

Julen Lopetegui and Jose Mourinho were no exception, both of them were standing in the rain directing the match, but Lopetegui's face was tense and Mourinho's was calm. This is the current situation of the two sides, if the Chinese team is behind, then it may be Mourinho who has an ugly face, and the position of the head coach is not easy to stay in now.

Both of them have their own good cards, Mourinho took the lead in playing the second card at halftime, the first card is naturally the starting change, and the second card is to replace Lin Liangming.

And Lopetegui's first card is also a change of formation, with two centers, it can be said that the first card of both sides has been played beautifully, but Lopetegui has not played the second card. The big screen was already showing that the game was approaching 70 minutes and he had to make a change.

If the two centre-forwards still can't get the scoresheet, what should he do?

In the face of the enigmatic Chinese team, he was not so resolute. It is obviously unreasonable to remove a center forward, after all, the score is still behind, and add a striker? Theoretically, yes, but what if the Chinese team makes another sneak attack?

At this moment, he is a little difficult to ride a tiger, and on the court, he is frightened.

But is there a way back?

He turned his head and glanced behind him, eyeing Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta. At this time, he remembered Iniesta again. Perhaps only he can save Spain from the turmoil once again.

Iniesta didn't actually sit on the bench and warmed up on the sidelines early, maybe he knew that Lopetegui would definitely send him on?

Lao Bai's warm-up was a bit of a leisurely stroll, like preparing for a very ordinary ball game. He is accustomed to seeing wind and rain and big scenes, and at such a moment, he can still maintain a calm heart, which is incomparable to other players, a bit like Liu Hao's demeanor in the player tunnel before the opening.

As a 34-year-old veteran, he knows what he has to do and doesn't need to be reminded at all.

However, Lopetegui is a little unhappy, since the start of the game, he has been pressing Iniesta on the bench, did not give him a start, and when he played, he made a contribution, and was sprayed by the media and fans after the game, saying that Iniesta should be allowed to play the main team, not the substitute, and the credit is Iniesta's, not him Lopetegui.

Now, it's time for Iniesta to save the day!

However, if it fails, this pot shouldn't be carried by yourself, right?

In fact, Lopetegui was just comforting himself and finding a reason to continue to let Iniesta play.

Sure enough, two minutes later, he replaced Martinez with Iniesta, removed the already deep midfielder, and added an attacking midfielder!

It's also going to be fought. There really wasn't much time left for him and Spain, and with stoppage time, it was only twenty-three or four minutes.

Mourinho is not a fool, when he saw Lopetegui replacing Iniesta, he immediately replaced Liang Zhao with Cai Huikang!

If you think about it, you know that it is to let Cai Huikang come up to defend Iniesta. In Mourinho's view, Iniesta is one of the best players in this era, and it makes sense to use a Cai Huikang to come up and toss him.

Julen Lopetegui's eyes widened, clearly unhappy with Mourinho's reaction, and he then waved the flag and went on to make a second substitution, Mata and Pedro.

Mourinho also seemed to have guessed, removing Zhang Xizhe and replacing him with Wu Xi.

At this time, Mourinho finally changed the formation to 433 and stopped attacking Spain, which is equivalent to completely abandoning the previous tactics. It has changed as it says, and it has become quite exaggerated, completely actively forcing Spain to change.

It's just that Mourinho's three substitutions have been used up, and Spain has not changed one.

That's the only slight advantage Lopetegui has.

So after Mourinho ran out of substitutions, he waved his hand again and continued to make substitutions! Remove left-back Alba and go on Munir.

This is the opposite rhythm of the Chinese team's formation!

It's time to continue the attack, and the players on their pitch at this point, apart from Sergio Busquets, are all attacking.

Julen Lopetegui was even a little smug because Mourinho should have no cards to play...... After all, he has one more spot.

After that, his formation became more extreme, and he actually copied the 424 formation of the previous Chinese team.

However, the Chinese team also reacted immediately, and the formation immediately changed to 4321. Huang Rongzheng, Cai Huikang and Wu Xi are in the back of the three, Liu Hao and Ling Zhenbang are in the front waist, and Lin Liangming is in the front! Complete Christmas tree formation.

"Ah, Mourinho's change of formation is really a god, especially the use of team Huang Rongzheng, it is completely a conspiracy of Chiguoguo, Huang Rongzheng is originally a midfielder, but before and after, he has already thought of such a tactic, once the Chinese team is ahead, but why does he have to leave Huang Rongzheng until this game to let him play? Could it be that he had already calculated that the Chinese team would meet the Spanish team? Huang Jianxiang was shocked and sighed, puzzled.

In the past, Mourinho's mind and tactics were easy to guess, but now it's different!

"Ling Zhenbang and Liu Hao's front waist match is also very weird, the former is ghostly, the latter is killed with one blow, with the extremely fast Lin Liangming in front, it is perfect!"

Gee......

Huang Jianxiang continued to exclaim.

Of course, Lopetegui didn't expect Mourinho to play the players and formation so perfectly, he wanted to press the Chinese team with a crazy attack, but he reluctantly found that after the Chinese team deployed in the midfield, the Spaniards found that their attacking space was completely gone......

What's more, the Chinese team's current disadvantage in possession is gradually gone! At least not as embarrassed as it used to be.

After a goal conceded by Spain, the ball was firmly controlled at the feet of the Chinese team! And, they are not in a hurry to attack?

Lopetegui had to order his players to participate in the ball grabbing even more frantically! Without possession of the ball, how can you talk about attacking?

Spain also has such embarrassing times!

They had to pounce on the Chinese players frantically, especially the attacking players in front, who were almost crazy to the extreme!

And an unexpected scene appeared again......

It's still those guys.

Huang Rongzheng took the ball and quickly transferred Ling Zhenbang.

Ling Zhenbang knocked directly at the feet of Liu Hao, who was running in place, Liu Hao did not choose to stop the ball, and directly kicked the scalpel-like middle straight into the ......

Spain's defense has been broken through again!

What a trick to lure the snake out of the hole!
