The knockout stage is not the same as the group stage, you can lose one game in the group stage, draw one, and win one and have a good chance of qualifying, but the knockout stage is different, as long as you concede a goal first, it may mean that you may pack your bags and go home. Defense wins the championship, offense wins applause, but the comparison between the two is naturally the championship.

Although there are still a few games left in the 16-8 competition, no one wants to be left behind.

Portugal's momentum in the group stage was 30 shots in three games and then an extraordinary goal, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who finished behind Suarez with four goals, but Suarez, who topped the table with six goals, had already gone home just an hour earlier......

So, don't pull the goal first, the defense first.

Portugal have had the most shots on goal since the start of the World Cup, but when it came to the knockout rounds, they changed their tactics and didn't just focus on attacking from the start.

Although the Chinese team is not a real strong team, the speed of their counterattack is also terrifying, of course, provided that they seize one or two opportunities.

What Portugal has to do now is to firmly control the midfield first, grind the Chinese team into a temperless one, and ensure that they can see the effect of the attack when their defense is not superior.

Of course, if the Chinese team doesn't have a Liu Hao, then it's nothing, and Portugal can press the Chinese team out. Now, naturally, it's going to be low-key. Because even if the strongest team in the world comes to face the Chinese team, they have to guard against Liu Hao.

It took less than ten minutes for Portugal to calm down the scene and firmly hold the initiative in their hands. Portugal's possession rate even reached 73 percent, while the Chinese team only had a pitiful 27 percent possession!

"Fierce and auspicious! Portugal completely suppressed the Chinese team, and it was almost a goal...... How do you feel that the Portuguese team has long known this game...... In the past, they showed weakness at the beginning, when the opponent controlled the ball first, ......" Huang Jianxiang has begun to express his concern, and has watched many games of the Chinese team recently, and none of them are as scary as today.

"Wu Xi's opportunities to play the main force are still too few, not as steady as Huang Bowen, the middle is now empty, unable to keep up with the rhythm of Portugal, and the two wings are almost unable to hold up now. Mourinho should immediately find a way to stabilize the situation, otherwise he is really not far from conceding a goal. Huang Jianxiang was full of deflated words.

It's no wonder they say that, it does.

The more terrible thing is still to come, and Huang Jianxiang himself didn't expect it.

That is, the Portuguese players seem to know the technical characteristics of each Chinese player, and the Chinese player is just about to make a move, and the opponent immediately knows what their intentions are!

Therefore, I also saw that the frontcourt players can easily concede the ball! Even Xiao Zhang Yuning, who has always boasted of his strong ability to protect the ball, was bullied by the eagle like a chicken!

Of course, Liu Hao has no chance to get the ball.

The goal was so simple that the pressure on the midfield was even greater, and they had to kick the ball forward, forgetting Mourinho's original tactics.

There is no way, the pressure is too great, they can't care about controlling the ball and coordinating effectively. Breaking the siege is the first important thing! You can't hold the ball, you can't still think about controlling the ball, it's not realistic!

Hao Junmin is a typical one, he is known for his technical flexibility, he was broken by the opponent twice in a row, he is not a person who drags mud and water, but both times when he was just about to make an adjustment pass, the ball was broken, what a blow to this confidence!

Worst!

Liu Hao was also a little confused. Unexpectedly, the whole team was about to collapse by the opponent all of a sudden, as if everyone was doing something, and the other party could guess the next step!

Jose Mourinho......

Mourinho ran to his mind in an instant. He saw the problems of his teammates, only Mourinho knew the players of the Chinese team best, and he knew the players well, and even a needle fell from the ground.

It was he who betrayed the Chinese team!

Liu Hao finally believed that his original judgment was true, and Yao Shixing's previous joke did not expect it to become a fact. Jose Mourinho is an undercover agent for the Portuguese national team! He revealed all the information of the Chinese team to the Portuguese team, and the entire preparation for the knockout round was actually preparing for Portugal!

Yes, that's what he did!

Liu Hao was very annoyed at this moment! Very annoying!

The whole of China has been deceived by Mourinho......

When you are angry, you lose your mind for a while. He did not deny what Mourinho had done for the Chinese team before, including leading the Chinese team to easily qualify for the World Cup qualifiers, and also allowing the Chinese team to advance to the knockout stage in three games in the group stage.

However, this is the end of it, and even the third game may have a conspiracy.

Liu Hao thinks about it now, the Chinese team should not have finished second in the group to face Portugal, if so, the conspiracy would have existed at the beginning of the finals!

If the Chinese team is still the previous rotten Chinese team, then these conspiracies do not exist at all, but the Chinese team is now a strong team, in the eyes of the enemy, it is a very strong team, but it met Portugal, which is very revealing.

Thinking of this, Liu Hao felt that this game might really be over. He can't just fight with one person, he can't change the whole tactical system, the whole course of the game alone.

Because all the plans have been carried out step by step, it is very unrealistic to want to make changes immediately, which involves the entire Chinese team!

Just as he was thinking, the Chinese team lost the ball!

It's quite easy to throw away!

Chinese water master Zhang Linpeng lost the ball on the right side! Nani easily broke Zhang Linpeng's ball on the left side, and then quickly dribbled the ball into the Chinese team's big penalty area! Then sweep the ball to the middle!

This sweep is very exquisite!

The two central defenders of the Chinese team have run back to the small penalty area, but the ball is swept outside the small penalty area!

Ronaldo, who rushed in the middle, walked back and just received Nani's inverted triangle sweep!

Cristiano Ronaldo can't miss such a babysitter ball opportunity! Even if Wang Dalei can pounce again, he can't save such a close and sudden ball, he is not as strong as everyone thinks, if he is really so strong, he will not just mix in China, he would have already crossed the ocean to Europe!

０:１！ This is the first time that the Chinese team has taken the lead in conceding a goal in this World Cup! Yes, for the first time, it was all ahead of the opponent before. It was the previous friendly match and World Cup qualifiers, and the Chinese team was also the first time!

This will be a huge test for the Chinese team! Because they don't have any experience! In the face of the top teams, if the reversal! No, even if it's an equalizer!

The Portuguese fans were already cheering in the stadium, while the Chinese fans were as silent as death!

Liu Hao's eyes looked at the coach's seat a little blankly, just in time to see Mourinho being furious! The expression was so exaggerated that it seemed as if the whole person was about to explode, and it looked very angry and angry!

Feign! You just keep pretending! Liu Hao doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that Mourinho is real, he is too fake, the fake is just like the Alexander sculpture on the sidelines, although it is realistic, but after all, he is not the real Alexander the Great.

"How so? Where did the previous strong Chinese team go? Why is the defense so vulnerable? Huang Jianxiang asked himself in front of the screen, he didn't believe that the Chinese team's defense would be so weak, this is not a normal Chinese team. It's like coming up to give big gifts to the opponent, not to compete for World Cup honors.

"Something must have gone wrong! The Chinese team must make adjustments immediately! Portugal is really going to start slaughtering. Mourinho definitely has a second countermeasure, there can't be only one. Now the midfield can't stop Portugal's attack at all, and something must be changed, but now that the Chinese team is behind, we also need to score, and if we don't score, no matter how good the defense is, it's useless. ”

What to do? What to do? This is not a question that only Huang Jianxiang thinks, I believe that the Chinese fans waiting on the TV and in the scene will ask this question, but they are not the manager Mourinho, because he is the only one who can make a difference for the Chinese team.

Ronaldo and his teammates celebrated wildly in front of Liu Hao, as if they had been able to enter the quarterfinals of the World Cup with this goal, if they continued to play according to this situation, it was indeed very possible, all the tactics and personnel attributes of the Chinese team were penetrated by them, what else is impossible?

China is likely to have lost before half-time, and it won't take 90 minutes at all.

What to do?

There is not much time left for Liu Hao, just a few tens of seconds, once the players of the Portuguese team return to their positions, it is very likely that the tragedy will happen again.

Can't let that happen! Liu Hao knows it.

If the current situation is only realized by Liu Hao now, then he will have some taken for granted countermeasures, the player is not a coach, and it is impossible to immediately read where the rapidly changing game on the field will go.

However, Liu Hao's suspicions have been going on for several days, and he is not only aware for the first time of what to do with the worst for the Chinese team on the field, especially how he can get the team back on track after determining that Mourinho is a mole.

He thought about many, many things.

But he didn't think that every member of the Chinese team would be known to Portugal to such an extent!

Even if three people are replaced immediately, it is estimated that there will be no effect, and three people are not enough to change the situation.

No matter, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!

He is no longer an indecisive guy, he has long been the soul of the Chinese team, and he has the heaviest burden. I don't know when he started to get used to taking responsibility on his shoulders.

So, when he made this decision, he didn't see Mourinho as a great, already successful manager, but just an enemy!

While Portugal was still celebrating, he waved his hands at his teammates, signaling everyone to regroup, and without further ado, he was straightforward.

"Believe me, brothers, the tactics have changed, we can't play like usual anymore, otherwise our World Cup journey is over! We were betrayed! We have to make adjustments now. You should be able to see that any of our moves and actions have been guessed by our opponents. ”

"Now, what we can do is to change our usual playing habits on the basis of the original tactics, not to be too obsessed with the original tactics and ideas, we must break the convention! Even when we're dribbling and passing, don't be the same again! ”

"When running, we must cross more positions, and since the other party has eaten us through, then we must also do the opposite. Do you understand what I said? ”

"Understood!" Everyone is in unison! They were all killed by Portugal, no one wanted the scene to be like this, and no one wanted it to be such a result. Although the players of the Chinese team are not the top players in the world, those who can be shortlisted for the national team will not be too low in terms of ball quotient.

Everyone has experienced it in the competition, and the feeling is naturally quite profound!

"Change positions at left and right backs! Switch positions in the left and right midfielders! ”

Liu Hao finally gave such an order!

"Don't care what Mourinho says! He's a traitor! Our enemies! ”

All this has not been arranged by Mourinho on the sidelines! Liu Hao has already made decisions and changed without authorization. It all happened so suddenly that Mourinho almost fell to the ground when the game resumed.

What's going on?

He saw right-back Zhang Linpeng running to the left, and saw Hao Junmin also running to the left!

And Liu Hao and Zhang Yuning didn't stand like usual anymore!

What the hell is going on!

Although his own thoughts have not been filtered out now, what kind of new tactics should be adopted, but the unauthorized change of formation by the Chinese players on the court has brought him even more shock!

What did Liu Hao say to them on the field just now, and the world's famous coaches are also confused!

It's all such a mess! It's a mess!

'Is this Mourinho's new tactic? It's a brand new shuffle! Is it really good to do that? Huang Jianxiang's eyes also widened, unable to believe what he was seeing now.

It's the knockout round of the World Cup! It's not a friendly match! How can it be so messy!

Sometimes, drastic changes can scare people to death! Now the Chinese team feels like this!

You can keep dying, but you can't die too weirdly......

Portugal saw the current change of formation of the Chinese team, obviously it also felt incredible, you just made tactical adjustments, and you can't adjust so strangely, is this really playing football?

The tree is dead, the person is alive, Liu Hao's impulse has brought incredible changes!

Because the Portuguese team counted one less move! (To be continued.) )
