Seeing that the Chinese team discharged a 433 formation, Uruguay coach Tavares's face showed a trace of anger, although he was very low-key, but in his heart, European and American teams looked down on Asian and African teams, thinking that they were studying with the prince, China played Sweden or 4321 formation, and when facing Uruguay, he actually discharged a 433 attack lineup, isn't it obvious that Uruguay is not in his eyes.

However, Tavares soon laughed again, and said in his heart that Li Huan was still young after all, he won a few games, and he didn't know how thick the sky was when he reached the quarterfinals, and he didn't even pay attention to the semi-finals of the last World Cup, which is good, when Li Huan tasted the bitterness, he knew that the semi-finals were not something that anyone could enter if he wanted to.

Tavares's face completely fell into the eyes of assistant coach Chu Fu, Chu Fu smiled secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly admire Li Huan's cunning and resourcefulness, but he just fine-tuned the formation of the previous game, and the result made the experienced and calm Tavares unable to hold his breath. If Uruguay dares to advance, they will be greeted by a lightning counterattack by the Chinese team.

Force!

With the whistle of Italian referee Rossetti, the quarterfinals between China and Uruguay kicked off.

The first kick-off was the Uruguayan team, although Tavares was dissatisfied with the Chinese team's behavior of not taking Uruguay to heart, but he did not lose his mind, the team still followed his pre-match arrangement, steady and steady, and did not have a good chance not to easily concede the ball and pass the threat.

Although the Chinese team put on a 433 formation, they were also not in a hurry to win, only striker Xu Yang rushed through the half alone, and the others were compressing the space in their own half, encircling and harassing the opponent. Even Xu Yang, who rushed through the half, was not purely for attacking, because the opponent's central defender Lugano was good at offense and defense, and he also had the ability to organize, so Xu Yang pressed on him to disturb him and not give him the opportunity to step forward and organize. Fans of a bit of football age know that the first pass is very important when attacking from the back, and if the first pass is not good, everyone will be very awkward to take the ball next, and it is likely to be stealed by the opponent.

However, the Uruguayan team still showed that they surpassed the Swedish team a lot of technical and tactical ability and individual skills, last time they reached the semi-finals, won the Copa America, and now easily reached the quarterfinals, Uruguay is by no means blind, in the words of Tavares, now Uruguay is a world powerhouse.

Just five minutes and 43 seconds into the game, in the frenzied cheering of nearly 40,000 Uruguayan fans, the Uruguayan team, which took the lead, played a very threatening offensive under the patient organization.

Juventus's 'fast horse' Cáceres took the ball, used the cunning small movements of the South Americans to shake off the defense of the Chinese team's midfielder Chen Teng, and used the strength and speed of the ball to pass the fullback Fan Yang, but after he saw the defenders of the Chinese team retreating, he did not cross again, but flexibly and suddenly passed the high-altitude ball backwards to the arc of the big penalty area.

Forlan and Cavani pulled up the Chinese team's defenders, and Uruguayan forward Gonzalez had already followed up quickly, and the ball was met with a furious shot!

The ball was like a red lightning bolt, passing through the ten fingers of Zong Cheng, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team who had not yet warmed up, and smashed it the goal crossbar.

The Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV let out cries of horror, and the Uruguayan fans couldn't help jumping up from their seats, and then sighed regretfully, if this goal went in, it would be a fantastic start for Uruguay, but unfortunately their luck was not good.

The Chinese team passed by the 'conceded goal', Li Huan was also taken aback, he emphasized the threat of Cavani and Forlan too much before the game, but the players ignored the other players of the Uruguayan team, in fact, the best thing about this Uruguayan team is not the stars, but the whole they have honed for eight years, which is simply longer than the club team has been together.

In fact, according to the competitive level, the World Cup is not as good as the Champions League knockout round, because the players of the national team have been running in together for a short time, and they can't buy the shortcomings they lack, just because the impact of the World Cup is too great, and the scope of his influence has surpassed the fans and football, and it is held every four years, so the World Cup champion is higher than the Champions League champion and has become one of the standards of the football king.

Despite Gonzalez's hit on the crossbar, the Uruguayan fans in the stands applauded vigorously and the team was pleased with the team's performance, which gave them the light of day.

The Chinese team was scared out of a cold sweat by the opponent's long-range shot, and then they played more cautiously, not only paying attention to the Uruguayan players who were flexible in the front court, but also not letting go of the midfielders inserted in the middle and wing, and even did not hesitate to foul to disrupt the opponent's threatening attack.

The Uruguayan players were very mentally stable, and missed opportunities did not affect them in any way, and they still controlled the ball firmly and charged towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

In the 13th minute of the game, the Chinese team's bag and grab did not interrupt Uruguay's continuous passing, after the midfield continued to pour feet, Uruguay suddenly accelerated the speed of the pass in the front, the front few players are taking a kick out of the way, so that the Chinese team's defenders can not keep up with the offensive rhythm of the Uruguayan team, they take fouls and only put down the players after the ball, the referee according to the principle of offensive advantage, did not interrupt the game.

Forlan took the ball with the arch of his foot and the ball went into the box, and Uruguayan midfielder Arévalo also infiltrated the box!

"Danger!" The narrator shouted.

China's goalkeeper Zong Cheng was extremely focused, he had already made a prediction in advance, and when Arévalo sprinted into the box, he also quickly attacked Forlan's tricky pass.

Zong Cheng's hand touched the ball at the same time as Arevalo's foot also touched the ball, Arevalo did not close his foot, but the ball still changed direction when it hit Zong Cheng's hand and flew to the bottom line.

There was another sigh from the stands, Uruguay had another good chance, but still could not break through the door of the Chinese team.

The Uruguayan commentator lamented: "It's a pity! What a pity! If it was Cavani who had just entered the box, the goal would have been there! ”

However, the Uruguayan commentator just thought that Cavani had entered the penalty area, but he didn't see that it was Li Huan who stuck Cavani's line diagonally into the penalty area, so that the fast shooter did not find a chance.

Twice in a row by the opponent to threaten the attack, the Chinese team is a little impatient, because they have not yet got a shot on goal, not even a long-range shot. Although this is because the opponent controls the ball and has been attacking, the Chinese team is mainly defensive, but this is also related to Uruguay's strong defense.

Uruguay's defensive setup is very reasonable, and the central defensive combination of captain Lugano and Victorino is very solid, of course, this is still the main central defender Godin suspended, otherwise their central defensive combination is even more terrifying. The two full-backs, Andreas Pereira and Cáceres, were both very effective in attacking and defending, especially on the wings, and goalkeeper Muslera was also very solid, and his consistency ensured that Uruguay's defence was exceptionally solid. In addition to the excellent quartet and goalkeeper at the back, there are also three excellent midfielders in front of them. The three midfielders were all versatile players, and they built a barrier in front of the defence, and many of China's potentially threatening attacks were strangled early on the edge of the box by the defence-minded midfielders.

In the 20th minute of the game, the somewhat impatient Chinese team gave the Uruguayans a chance to attack, after Uruguay's concise three passes and two deliveries, Forlan inserted into the Chinese team's penalty area, just when the Chinese team's central defender Xu Bin and defender Wu Han wanted to close the door and jam Fran's forward line, the 35-year-old Fran seemed to be unhappy with a smash, but the timing flashed from the side of the two people.

Forlan, who got a vacancy, gave up entering the penalty area and shot directly, with his superb footwork, if Forlan completed the shooting action, Zong Cheng was afraid that he would only have to pick up the ball in the net.

But at this time, Xu Bin, who was trained by Li Huan to have an instinctive foul ability, came directly to a back sweep after Fran smashed the ball, and when Fran's leg touched the ball, it happened that Xu Bin's leg also arrived, Fran's shot was only half completed, and before he could exert his strength, he was put to the ground by Xu Bin, and the ball did not know which space it flew to.

"Chinese martial arts!"

"Damn! Sweep the legs! ”

Uruguayan fans shouted angry cheers and accusations from the stands, and the Uruguayan players also ran over excitedly.

Force!

Referee Rossetti's whistle sounded just in time.

Yellow! Kick!

However, the fans, players and coaches of Uruguay were not satisfied, and they still pointed forward to ask the referee to show the red card, because Xu Bin's actions were very bad.

However, just 20 minutes into the game, the Italian referee did not want to upset the balance of the game too early, ignoring the protests of the Uruguayans and still insisting on his decision.

Fran, who got up from the ground, took the free-kick himself in a great position.

Due to the strong ability of former European Golden Boot Forlan to shoot from a distance and free kicks, although it is not as good as Li Huan's 100%, the accuracy of free kicks in this position is also 450%.

The players of the Chinese team nervously lined up the human wall, and Li Huan stood in front of Fran very skillfully to prevent him from playing a sneak attack with a quick free kick, Li Huan, who played in Europe, had already learned the cunning of the South Americans.

Sure enough, Fran glanced at Li Huan and gave up this idea.

After the wall was lined up, as referee Rossetti's whistle blew, Forlan's banana ball from the inside of his right foot drew a beautiful arc straight to the top left corner of the goal.

Zong Cheng, the talented goalkeeper of the Chinese team, used all his strength to fly and leap without touching the ball.

Seeing that the arc of the ball was heading towards the dead corner, the fans in the stadium held their breath and their nervous heartbeats stopped. Only Li Huan sneered, glanced at the trajectory of the ball, and shouted, "Goalpost!" ”

Li Huan's words seemed to have a spell, and the ball smashed on the goalpost again and bounced out.
