Volume 4 World Cup Legends Chapter 82 Preemptive Strike

Paraguay solved the most terrifying opponent in this group, Spain, and made the Paraguayans burst with confidence in themselves, after Spain beat Turkey, Turkey theoretically had a chance to qualify, but in fact has been sentenced to a suspended death,,quanBEn,

Before the game, Paraguay's domestic media did not take the Chinese team to heart, "Global Sports" believes that the current situation is that as long as Paraguay wins two games, they can beat Spain to become the first in the group, Paraguay should not only consider qualifying, the quarterfinals of the last World Cup, the second place in the Copa America should take a longer view, and use the opportunity of the Brazil World Cup to go to the next level, rather than thinking about competing with the Chinese team for the right to qualify.

Paraguay's "Last Moments" newspaper said: "Paraguay should try to win the group so that they will meet a weak opponent in the knockout rounds, according to FIFA's division principle, the first place in the four groups of EG will be in the same half as the second place in the four groups of the BDF, and the other half of the group includes the first place in the four groups of the BDF and the second place in the four groups of the EG." If Paraguay can win the group, they will face either Japan or Sweden, neither team Paraguay is afraid, but against a ferocious and powerful German team, Paraguay is expected to stop in the round of 16.

Paraguay's legendary goalkeeper, renowned free-kick expert and Paraguay's football king, Chilavert, advertised before the game that Paraguay would reach the final and that they should fight for top of the group and avoid being in a semi-zone with Brazil. Although Chilavert admires Li Huan's free kick, he believes that Paraguay's defense is better than that of the Chinese team, and the attack is also better than that of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team has no chance of winning the match with Paraguay.

Paraguayan coach Arce was a former Paraguayan international and arguably one of the best right-backs in the world at the time. In the Paraguayan team, which is known for its defense, his combination with Gamara and Ayala is one of the most solid rear systems in the world. What is even more commendable is that among the generally rough South American defenders, his movements are quite clean, and he dismantles the opponent's attack with skill, and Paraguayan fans affectionately refer to Arce as "Roberto Carlos on the right".

Although there is still a good chance of qualifying for a draw in Paraguay, Paraguay's coach Arce has been very solid, and he has played this match with China as a final, and at the same time strives to win the group.

At the press conference, the 43-year-old young coach Arce told the media: "I don't deny that we are in a very favorable situation now, even if we don't win, we will not be eliminated, but this mentality is very dangerous, because looking at this game from the opponent's point of view, we will find that the Chinese team must play this game as a final, and they definitely do not want to fight Spain, so we must show the determination to win to have a good result." ”

Paraguay was high-profile before the game, because they had high-profile reasons and strength, although the Chinese team defeated Turkey cleanly, but then Turkey was eliminated also showed that the strength of the Turks is limited, the head coach and core of the Chinese team Li Huan did not think highly of himself, he could not be lower to meet the arrival of this game.

"Judging from the current situation, the worst situation is Turkey, followed by Spain, we and Paraguay are in the best situation, but in fact, after this game, everyone's optimism will completely turn over, we are not the favorites to qualify, please don't believe the bookmakers, they are making money, and we have nothing to do with it, the Chinese team is not a fish belly, I can guarantee that whoever wants to win we need to pay the price, but we are not a strong team, from the strength of the players and the status in the football world can be seen clearly, In this game we have to fight with Paraguay until every player spills the last drop of sweat, if anyone is lazy, it's very simple, don't play the next game, if there is the next game of the next game, then he doesn't have to play anymore, I will take 22 players myself. ”

The Chinese team's first game against Turkey, greatly increased the confidence of the Chinese, Li Huan showed weakness in a low-key manner before the game, making the Chinese media very unhappy, thinking that Li Huan is a long-term enemy prestige, destroying their morale, they through tactical play, star quality, group cooperation, and other aspects of analysis show that the Chinese team is not fully at a disadvantage, at least four points to win.

"Ball Daily" even thinks that in terms of value, Li Huan's worth alone can be as high as the entire Paraguayan team, and the individual ability of the players of the Chinese team is not good, but the team cooperation is very good, and winning Paraguay is not an upset.

The media in China and Paraguay naturally want to cheer for their teams and praise their teams, and their comments can only be regarded as sycophants to encourage morale, and the comments of other national media can see the strength and weakness of the two teams and the probability of winning or losing.

Before the game, Brazil's "Sao Paulo Page" and "Global Sports" were optimistic about Paraguay, believing that Paraguay, with its super defensive strength and stable tactics, could block Li Huan's attack.

Argentina's Clarion and Ole newspapers were equally in favour of Paraguay winning.

However, the European media are not optimistic about Paraguay, with well-known media outlets such as Bild, Le Monde Sport and The Sun all believing that Paraguay's defensive defense is premised on ignoring attack, and that a winless run to the quarter-finals in 90 minutes of the last World Cup is enough to tell. But Li Huan's Xiao Li Flying Knife specializes in breaking through the dense defense, and Paraguay actually doesn't have much certainty of winning, at most four or six.

The match between Paraguay and the Chinese team was held at 5 p.m., which was also the early morning of China, and it was another painful moment for fans to watch the game, but for the sake of their beloved team, many people have already sent their wives and children away, completed their work ahead of schedule, and are ready to stay up with the Chinese team for a month.

For FIFA's business development plan, each team has to change cities after playing a game, and the second game of the Chinese team is at the Brasilia National Stadium in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, which can accommodate 70,000 people, but most of the tickets were obtained by Paraguay, more than 50,000 Paraguayan fans came to the Brasilia National Stadium to watch the game, while the Chinese team only had 20,000.

Before the game started, the National Arena in Brasilia had already been occupied by fans, and the American fans had the same enthusiasm and unrestrainedness as the Africans, and the Paraguayan fans on the scene livened up the atmosphere of the stadium as if it were a cabaret party. One of the most striking is a group of beautiful Paraguayan girls, who were influenced by Riquelme, the milk god of the last World Cup, and they are all dressed very hotly, with clear furrows, and the roots of their thighs are exposed, so that the European commentators joked: This may be the secret weapon of the Paraguayans, and the conservative Chinese players may have no intention of playing football when they see these Paraguayan beauties.

In addition to the Paraguayan Milk God II, there is also the legendary Paraguayan legend Chilavert, the legendary goalkeeper with the most goals has now become a legendary fat man, and his weight of nearly 300 pounds makes Chilavert even an amateur goalkeeper can not take it, but this does not prevent him from running for president.

An icon of Paraguay, Chilavert sat in the stands in the first match to cheer on his boys, and under Chilavert's inspiration, Paraguay played well and beat Spain.

The referee on duty for this match was Webb from England, a police referee who is a popular candidate to officiate the World Cup final, and he was sent by FIFA to officiate the match between China and Paraguay, which also shows the importance that FIFA attaches to this match.

With five minutes to five o'clock, the Chinese team and the Paraguayan team walked out of the locker room, and the stands immediately burst into thunderous applause, and fans on both sides chanted the names of the two teams and the representative stars Li Huan and Santa Cruz, and the heat of the stadium rose sharply.

“…… The highlight of the second round of Group F is that the match between the Chinese team and Paraguay is about to start, now let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two sides, the Chinese team is a 442 formation, the goalkeeper is No. 1 Zong Cheng, the four defenders are No. 20 Fan Yang, No. 3 Wang Chunlei, No. 19 Xu Bin, No. 13 captain Li Huan; The four midfielders are No. 6 back Wu Han, No. 10 forward Yu Tong, right midfielder No. 15 Chen Teng, and left midfielder No. 19 Gu Tianyuan. The two forwards are No. 11 Zhang Dong and No. 9 Xu Yang. This is not any change from the lineup of their first game against Turkey, the winner is not, Li Huan understands this truth and does not modify the team.

Paraguay's starting line-up was also unchanged from the first round, and they played in a 442 formation. Goalkeeper Bilal No. 1, the defenders are: No. 3 Piris, No. 14 Da Silva, No. 2 Veron, No. 6 Cáceres, towards No. 16 Riveros, No. 20 Ortigueza, No. 8 Barreto, No. 11 Santana, and the forwards are: No. 18 Valdés, No. 9 veteran Santa Cruz. This formation can be varied, and if you want to strengthen the attack, you can push Santana to the front and form a forward three. The midfield became three, too. If you want to defend, Valdés withdraws, and the team becomes 451., and the Paraguayan has done a very good job of switching between the two lineups......

Five minutes later, with a whistle from referee Webb, the game began.

The Chinese team that kicked off first started like Paraguay launched a tidal attack in the first minute, with double strikers Zhang Dong and Xu Yang rushing forward quickly and straight into the penalty area, and the midfielders followed suit, and the two fullbacks Fan Yang and Li Huan pressed the assist at the same time as if they had discussed, and in less than half a minute, the number of Chinese players who passed the half was as many as 7.

The sudden attack of the Chinese team caught Paraguay, who was still immersed in fantasy, off guard, and they were almost all thinking, how could this be? The Chinese team actually attacked in a big way from the beginning, didn't they know that our defense could keep a clean sheet against Spain?

The Turkish commentator also exclaimed, "God, the Chinese team tore off their low-key and humble faces as soon as they started, and they launched a fierce attack on Paraguay, which was beaten into a mess and the defense they relied on to become famous was full of holes,...... If the Chinese attack continues for another two hours, Paraguay will be crushed.

Blitzkrieg! This is the tactical play that Li Huan designed for the Chinese team in the second game against Paraguay. Li Huan is indeed as Paraguay coach Larse analyzed, they must win, but there are thousands of ways to win, Li Huan designed this blitzkrieg according to the characteristics of Paraguay's good defense but slow offense, Li Huan's weakness before the game was also made for this game.

Paraguay began to hope that the Chinese team was physically exhausted, but seeing that the Chinese team was full of energy, it seemed that they didn't care about running a few hundred meters, Paraguay was afraid again, they desperately wanted to relieve their pressure by counterattacking, but the Chinese team's pressing was much more fierce than Paraguay, and the referee Weber's holding was relatively loose, and Paraguay was beaten so much that he couldn't pull out his hand to counterattack, and could only go back and forth between defense and being tackled.

Arce was straight on the sidelines, he thought of Li Huan's horror, and also made a careful defense against it, he was born at right back, he understood what the defender was thinking, and he also deliberately laid a heavy force on the right side to put the defense, but he never thought that the Chinese team would attack so boldly, it was like dying. Originally, Paraguay also wanted to attack, but now it can't play at all, so it can only defend passively.

"Dare to fight." Arce stretched out his thumb and admired, then sneered and said, "Li Huan, if you can attack for 90 minutes without stopping, I will recognize you as a draw, or even recognize you with three points." ”

Of course, the Chinese team can't storm for 90 minutes without resting, no team on this planet has such good physical fitness, but they don't need to storm for 90 minutes, and the Chinese team's attack will bear fruit in the 11th minute of the game.

Li Huan and the midfielders have been putting pressure on Paraguay's left midfielder Santana, when they were defending, they used scrambling means to make Santana unable to take the ball and dribble the ball at all, and when attacking, Li Huan and Yu Tong took turns bombing on the side, so that Santana was at a loss, very aggrieved, and couldn't beat Li Huan and the players of the Chinese team.

However, the more impatient he is, the easier it is to make mistakes, Santana just received the ball, and Li Huan, who seemed to be 10 meters away, somehow came to Santana's side, with a slight hit on his shoulder, a hook at his foot, and the ball was snatched from Santana's feet.

Webb is used to enforcing the law in the Premier League, and he doesn't pay attention to this kind of small action at all, trying his best not to interrupt the flow of the game, instead of blowing the football game into a basketball game and dragging it out.

Because of this, Santana's stomach was even more angry, and he flew to give Li Huan a retaliatory tackle that was enough to eat a red card, and the fans in the stands suddenly exclaimed, some worried that Santana was sent off with a red card, and some were worried that Li Huan was injured.

However, neither of these situations happened, Li Huan ran too fast, Santana was not able to shovel Li Huan, and Li Huan could run so fast, he would definitely not be injured, Webber was completely right not to blow the penalty to let the game continue.

Li Huan was Santana who stole in the midfield, his position was very close to the baseline and the goal, Li Huan didn't think much about it, drove straight into the ball and went straight to the Paraguayan penalty area.

Li Huan's attack!

The Paraguayan fans in the stands nervously raised their hearts to their throats, they knew that Li Huan's attack was quite awesome, and being rushed by him was a death, and if Li Huan found a chance to shoot from a distance, he would definitely lose.

"Look at this ball! Li Huan drove straight in! There are almost meters of obstruction all the way, Li Huan is going to the bottom, be careful! Be careful...... Yes! Cross-cut! Li Huan is really a ghost, ah! …… It's down again, oh! didn't go to the bottom, and passed directly to find Xu Yang...... He was a bad embryo, Xu Yang ran out of position, but unfortunately his speed was too slow, he was stuck in position by the defender, and the ball was saved by the Paraguayan goalkeeper with one hand. ”

The second point of the ball was quickly grabbed by the Chinese team again, Yu Tong passed the ball to Li Huan on the side again, Li Huan was walking back, seeing Yu Tong pass the ball over, he rubbed the ball with his toes, and then flew up and pumped towards the penalty area in a dashing manner.

The time for the ball to return to the penalty area was too fast, Xu Yang and goalkeeper Bilal had not completely climbed up from the turf, Bilal reacted quickly, and immediately jumped up from the ground to hit the ball with one hand.

Bilal had bad luck this time, because he fell to the ground, his vision was very bad, and he actually hit the ball next to Mr. Li Huan.

Li Huan received such a big gift package there, and he was pleasantly surprised, and he also aimed at the goal, only to raise his foot to pull onions on dry land, and blasted the ball into the gate guarded by the genius goalkeeper Bilal.

"Goal! Scored! Li Huan! Li Huan scored again! Li Huan has scored in two consecutive World Cup matches, and he helped China lead Paraguay by one goal...... The Chinese team's opening tactical arrangement was very unexpected, with their strength of the defense may not be able to guarantee a draw, but they chose to attack, and it was a fatal attack, and the Paraguayans were beaten ......"

The Paraguayan fans in the stands were also blinded, and some blindly worshipping fans obviously could not accept being led by the Chinese team, and they booed and scolded the Chinese team for being cunning.

And the fans of the Chinese team jumped up like crazy at this moment to celebrate this beautiful goal, to be precise, this is an ordinary goal, definitely not ranked in the top 50 of Li Huan's goals, but this goal is very difficult, related to the promotion of the Chinese team, so it has become very beautiful in the eyes of the fans.

The dugout and the bench also jumped up in an instant, and they rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with the players, and it was an absolute miracle to be able to break down Paraguay's defence so quickly.
