In Argentina's dressing room, the players were somewhat frustrated. In the first half, they had an all-round advantage in the technical statistics, and even the technical statistics such as fouls were more than the Chinese team.

In the forty-five minutes of the half, eighteen shots were taken on goal, seven on target and zero goals were scored.

Such data is really embarrassing and painful for them.

Why is it that the Chinese team, which doesn't seem to have a good defense, suddenly started a defensive counterattack, but it was like a collective chicken blood, so tenacious and outstanding?

There are eleven people on the field, ten people in addition to the goalkeeper, and then take the glory away, nine people are all on the defensive, and the offense is completely a matter of glory. Through this first half, they also discovered that the Chinese team's offensive routine is to kick the ball forward, and Rongguang will form an attack if they can receive it, and if they can't catch it, they won't lose anything anyway.

And even if Rongguang receives the ball and starts to attack, no one in the Chinese team will step forward to participate in the attack and support Rongguang.

Not counting the goalkeeper, where were the nine of them before, where they were when they were attacking - in their 30-meter zone, and then looking out into the front court and watching Glory face three or four Argentine defenders alone.

This is the attack of the Chinese team!

It's like a joke!

But it's such a joke that they scored in the game and didn't concede a goal!

So...... Who's the joke?

The Argentine players were particularly depressed at the thought of this.

How can we do such a shameless tactic?

Argentina's head coach Francisco looked at a group of silent Argentine players and sighed inwardly.

They did play a very frustrating first half.

But they can't be allowed to continue thinking like this.

The inability to score goals in the first half has a lot to do with Argentina's mentality in addition to the Chinese team's stubborn defense.

If you want to make the team play well in the second half, you have to start by adjusting their mentality.

So he pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, boys, forget about the first half, there is no point in the games that have passed." With 45 minutes left and we were down by one goal, it wasn't a surprise that we lost, but we had 45 minutes to save ourselves. ”

"But before that, I think first of all, we should change our perception of the Chinese team and adjust our mentality. We must admit that the previous disregard for the Chinese team was wrong - the Chinese team I was referring to did not include Rong. It's those Chinese team players other than Rong, they don't look very conspicuous, and the whole team is contributing to Rong. Just as glory is a bright flower, and they are obscure green leaves. But you have to know that if there are no green leaves, there will be no flowers. So these green leaves are inconspicuous, but indispensable. I think after this first half, you have a very clear understanding of the energy of the green leaves. They definitely didn't rely on Rong's hard work to appear in the finals. The fact that the Chinese team was able to enter the final is the credit of the whole team. So you have to put your mind right and look your opponent again. It's a very strong team, they're fighting and they're united. If you don't have that realization in your mind, then I bet you won't win if you are given another 90 minutes! ”

Francis said this very seriously, even a little harshly.

He rarely uses such a harsh tone with the players of this youth team, because they are all geniuses, and since they are geniuses, they will definitely have some preferential treatment, such as not speaking to them in a too harsh tone.

But now, he has to do it, and continuing to indulge will only bring the whole team down.

Everyone was stunned by the manager's rare stern tone, and they took the lead to look at Francisco, speechless.

"If you don't really value them in your hearts, you don't know what they are so powerful, and you can't defeat him. So now it's very simple, please really face them from the bottom of your heart and respect them. It's normal for a team like that to be one goal ahead of us in the first half. It's normal for us to fall behind. But are we going to give up the game when we're behind? No. The opponent is outstanding, so let's go all out and compete with them! Engage in a desperate fight, hand-to-hand with your teeth and fists against our enemies! For the championship the Argentines can give everything! That's why Argentina is one of the strongest teams in the world! So in the second half, don't rush, get your mentality right, use our strengths to play with them, we have plenty of time. Don't rush to cross from the wing, don't rush to shoot from a distance, just use our best short pass penetration to open the gap in the middle and break through continuously, causing them to be nervous in the defensive line, and if they send defensive forces elsewhere to block, then move the football to the empty place of their defense! ”

'All their mental advantage is built on not conceding a goal, as long as we can get past them, the situation will turn in our favour, their defenders will start to doubt themselves, and then it will be our chance to destroy them in one go!'

Francisco threw a fist into the palm of his hand.

At the same time, in the dressing room of the Chinese team, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

It's easy, but it doesn't mean indulgence.

At this time, Crouchen was telling them: "We are only one goal ahead, and in football, such a score does not give you any sense of security. So if you think you can win by one goal, you're wrong. In the second half, we have to continue to play like in the first half. If you don't hear the referee's full-time whistle, never let up! ”

Fifteen minutes into the halftime, everyone in the media booth and on the Internet was discussing the first half of the game that had just ended.

On the Chinese Internet, netizens with a one-goal lead also ridiculed the tactics of the Chinese youth team.

"This is clearly a typical 901 formation!"

"I didn't expect the legendary 901 formation to really work, and the effect is still very good!"

"Crawford is also online, huh? You can see it all!? ”

"With Glory, the 901 that everyone was originally a spoof has also become a terrific tactical formation!"

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly in this joyous atmosphere.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the game began!

After the start of the game, the Chinese team still did not hesitate to recycle the defense.

Even if they tee off.

When they kick off, they keep passing back and the whole formation retreats.

When they are in their predetermined position, they will kick the football forward and let the glory chase it.

Everything is back to the rhythm of the first half......

The Chinese team really didn't give Argentina a chance at all, and didn't think about using the opportunity of the kick-off to press up and attack.

Such a cautious Chinese team naturally upset Argentine fans, who cursed the Chinese team and even the Chinese in front of the TV.

Anyway, all the swear words I can think of are squirted out.

But the Argentine players who played on the pitch did not have such a mentality.

They are much calmer than in the first half, and it is not unacceptable to give the Chinese team a one-goal lead.

When the mentality calms down, Argentina's attack is more threatening.

This was evident to all the commentators in the commentary seat.

'Argentina didn't seem to be as impatient as in the first half, and when they organised their attacks up front, it was no longer just a matter of sending in crosses from the flanks or shooting directly from distance. Instead, be patient and look for this opportunity......"

"Messi tried to break through, but when he found that there was no road ahead, he didn't bury his head and rush inside like he did in the first half, but chose to pass back...... It's something we didn't see in the first half, it's a welcome change, it shows that Argentina are calming down......"

"The Argentine youth team has fallen more than a dozen kicks in a row, right? In the process, the players of the Chinese team couldn't even touch the ball......"

※※※

This change in Argentina was quickly noticed by the players of the Chinese team.

When the Argentine players were back and forth in front of them, they looked at each other and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

In the first half, Argentina only knew how to break in, and if they couldn't break through, they would shoot from a distance or cross from the side.

But these three offensive methods, no matter which one they are, the Chinese players are easy to defend.

Especially the breakthrough in it. Because the Argentine players were in a very anxious mood when they broke through, in fact, they couldn't control the rhythm and skills of the dribbling at their feet, which opened the door to the Chinese team's defense.

And in that case, the players of the Chinese team can always be in a relatively nervous and excited state, and the body will sometimes react ahead of the brain, and such reactions are often accurate.

But now, when the opponent just passes the ball back and forth around the goal, and is not in a hurry to score, the players of the Chinese team are a little confused about what to do. They seemed at a loss.

Do you want to pounce on it?

Apparently not?

But let the Argentines pass it on like this?

They don't know when the Argentines will suddenly hit the penalty area.

I feel that Argentina's horizontal pass has been hanging the hearts of Chinese players, making him scared, always waiting for the one on the roof to take off the second boot before he can fall asleep.

This feeling of holding back but not letting it out accumulate for a long time, it will bring a lot of psychological pressure to the players.

Once Argentina makes a strong effort, the Chinese team's response will be ...... It's aggressive and unnecessary.

For example, this defense after 11 minutes of the second half......

After Argentina passed back and forth for almost 20 feet, when Messi took the ball, he did not choose to continue passing, but made a fake action of passing, but slammed the football forward!

This caught the Chinese players off guard.

By the time they reacted, Messi was already in the box.

Next, Feng Tingxiao, the central defender of the Chinese team, rushed up and kicked the ball at Messi's feet!

But this time, Messi's feet are faster than him!

took the first step to poke the football away, and Feng Tingxiao's kick was firmly kicked on Messi's calf!

Messi fell to the ground!

The referee's whistle sounded!

He pointed to the penalty spot!

"Huh? Penalty kick!? Huang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment, his voice was stunned.
