Chapter 1206

The Croatia VS China China one belt, one road in Zagreb, Croatia, has gained national attention before the competition. China has strengthened its cooperation with Croatia in the implementation of "one belt and one road". Many local media opinion polls believe that China is a reliable and trustworthy partner.

This allowed the Chinese team to play a friendly match in Croatia and strengthened the relations between the two countries to a certain extent.

Before the game, situ Yunbing had a long talk with Croatia's main midfielder lakitic in the player channel. In fact, the two teachers and disciples had no cooperative relationship for seven years since Hamburg, but because lakitic later played for Barcelona, they had a lot of opportunities to meet when situ Yunbing coached Liverpool.

When lakitic has become a veteran, situ Yunbing has nothing to teach him. At least in recent years, lakitic has more or less lived in the shadow of Harvey and Iniesta in Barcelona. His peak has remained in Hamburg, unlike de Brauner, who has broken his cocoon and reborn as the first offensive midfielder in Europe even after leaving Hamburg!

Lakitic's respect for situ Yunbing comes from his heart. The peak of his career is still in Hamburg. Although there was only a short cooperation time of one and a half years at that time, what they experienced together was a passionate time that they will never forget.

This friendly did not see Modric's figure. He was not called up due to injury.

Situ Yunbing shook hands with Croatian coach dalic on the sidelines.

The world cup runner up coach is also famous in a competition.

China's starting lineup today is no different from that of France a month ago, while Croatia has a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: sulbacci.

Defenders: fersarico, Vida, lovren, yedewai.

Midfield: Kovac, lakitic, brozovic.

Forwards: leibic, manjukic, pericic.

Croatia's lineup is not necessarily strong. It's not very stable just based on their performance in the world cup.

If we look back at the 2018 World Cup, there will be a downshift in the collective strength of the top teams.

No team can be as strong as Brazil in 2002, Italy in 2006, Spain in 2010 and Germany in 2014.

Croatia won three strong group matches in a row. When it came to the knockout, it was a roller coaster. It played a ups and downs 4-3 game with Denmark, eliminated the host Russia through the penalty shoot out, reversed against England in overtime, and lost to France in the final.

It can only be said that 2018 happens to be the end of an era and the transition period of the opening of a new era, resulting in the weak and the strong, and the distance between the ceiling and the floor has been narrowed.

Maybe a stronger new king will be born in the next World Cup.

Croatia is also facing a new generation. When Modric is old, it may be difficult to see him at the next World Cup, and lakitic will be nearly 35 years old, so I'm afraid he can only play the role of fire fighting.

Croatia's 2018 World Cup can not achieve the runner up without the credit of these two midfielders controlling the overall situation. Therefore, if these two people are missing in the next World Cup, I'm afraid Croatia's strength will be greatly reduced.

At the beginning of the friendly match, with the cheers on the scene, Croatia restrained its attack on the defense line of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team patiently defends and counterattacks, and the Croatian offensive is not radical. The threats that pericic and Rebic can create on the sidelines are very limited compared with the two wingers of the French team, Dembele and mbape.

This made abduhemiti and Li Lei not panic on the court.

Without Modric, Croatia's creativity in the front court and its ability to transport threat balls also plummeted. Lakitic is more responsible for making a smooth transition between attack and defense.

Croatia's possession rate is high, but it does not create an effective threat.

Their restraint also made the Chinese team's counterattack less threatening, and their defensive performance was very tough.

The game is relatively flat. This may be the friendly game situ Yunbing wants to see.

Like playing France, although it is lively and exciting, the overall training efficiency of the Chinese team's defensive Counterattack Tactics is relatively low.

Today's friendly match can really hone the defensive and Counterattack Tactics of the Chinese team.

In the 32nd minute of the game, pericic looked for an opportunity to cross the middle road outside the restricted area and shot. The long-range shot was very threatening. The football flew straight to the dead corner of the goal. Shen Jingjie made a world-class save and raised the ball above the beam to win bursts of applause.

Seeing that the situation could not be opened for a long time, Croatia began to deliberately strengthen the offensive.

The threat of counterattack by the Chinese team is also gradually strengthening.

In the 38th minute of the game, when Zhang Zhibang's assist defense side forced pericic to speed up the ball and break through, Abdu haimiti immediately grabbed the ball to form a joint defense and steals successfully.

The Chinese team launched a quick counterattack from the backcourt. Zhao Fenghua took the ball and pushed forward after taking the ball. When the Croatian midfielders moved towards his side to form encirclement and suppression, Zhao Fenghua picked the ball and passed it to the middle.

Huang Bozhou followed up and passed the ball straight ahead.

Wu Lei tapped the ball sideways in the reception at the front of the restricted area and sent the ball to the side area. Luo Xin quickly cut inside to get rid of the defense. He stepped on the ball and accelerated into the hinterland of the right rib of the restricted area. Luo Fulun blocked his passing and shooting line in his back defense, but Luo Xin knocked the ball back to the triangle.

Luo Cheng, who followed up the inside cut on the other side, stopped the ball and made a decisive start to bang the door!

Football goes straight to the top right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Subasic flew to save but failed to touch the football!

China led 1-0 away!

Dalic looked dignified. He didn't know anything about Chinese team. He didn't study his opponent before a friendly game.

Croatia just fought in the game according to its own rhythm, but I didn't expect that the Chinese team was more mature and tenacious than he thought!

After all, it is the team trained by situ Yunbing, which can not be underestimated!

Situ Yunbing was very satisfied with the lead of the Chinese team. The main reason was that the overall defense of the team had become self-contained, and the mentality also had a certain heat.

Croatia stepped up its offensive after losing the ball, but it was also more aggressive in anti grab interception.

Before the end of the first half of the game, manjujic received the straight plug ball from rajidic in the restricted area, and the half turn volley was a great threat. Fortunately, Cheng Renjun put the shovel in time to block the ball out of the bottom line.

After the first half of the game, situ Yunbing instructed the team to further strengthen defense in the second half.

He expects the team to despair Croatia through tight defense, and then get more counter attack opportunities.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Croatia obviously made adjustments at halftime. They changed their tactics and played relatively simple and rough.

The threat of trying to give full play to manjukic.

Situ Yunbing realized the crisis on the sidelines. In fact, the Chinese team's defensive strategy of reducing defensive space is specifically aimed at the more popular passing, cutting and penetration play in Europe, but I'm afraid it's a little uncomfortable to encounter the rough play of long passing and hanging style in England in the past, because as long as the opponent's high center can dominate the confrontation, Then the Chinese team's regional defense control is of little significance.

Therefore, tactically, there is basically no relationship between who is more advanced and who is backward, and there is more mutual restraint between them.

In the 58th minute of the game, when pericic sent an accurate cross from the sideline, manzhujiqi forced Bai yuanfan to take off in front of the goal and headed the goal!

This ball Shen Jingjie can't return to heaven!

Although Bai yuanfan and Cheng Renjun successfully cleared the encirclement again and again in the second half, they could not withstand the repeated impact of their opponents.

The leading edge of the Chinese team has been erased!

Situ Yunbing looked helpless, but he also accepted it calmly.

This is the situation of weak countries in football. It is difficult to do everything!

The idea of the Chinese team has been disillusioned. Situ Yunbing did not have the idea of struggling. He directly replaced several main players in the team and let the substitutes feel the atmosphere of the game.

In the last 90 minutes of playing France, there was no replacement, which has left the substitutes out of exercise. If the substitutes are not allowed to play in Croatia today, I'm afraid situ Yunbing will also doubt whether the recruitment of substitutes is just to make up for the number.

Moreover, as the European league draws to a close, the main players of some clubs in the team can't consume too much on FIFA match day, because they must play 90 minutes as long as they return to the club without injury.

After the replacement of the Chinese team, dalic also chose to replace. Croatia also needs to take care of the mood of the players and avoid excessive consumption of the players. Compared with the players who play for European clubs in the Chinese team, many stars in the Croatian team play for European giants!

After the two teams changed people, the quality of the game began to decline, and there were many more dangers in front of both sides. As a result, the dangers were resolved again and again in the performance of high resistance by Subasic and Shen Jingjie.

Kovac had a great opportunity to fly in the restricted area. Zhang Yuning surrounded and kicked the defect in front of the door. Situ Yunbing and dalic smiled bitterly one after another on the sidelines. They inadvertently made eye contact and suddenly had a helpless feeling of sympathy for each other.

When the referee whistled for the end of the game, the fans greeted the players of the two teams with applause.

Chinese fans must feel that the team's performance is not bad.

Lost to France 4-6 last month and tied with Croatia 1-1 this month.

The Chinese team is still in a trend of progress and improvement.

Situ Yunbing shook hands with dalic after the game, and then they talked happily.

The players of the two teams also exchanged shirts after the game.

The players of the Chinese team feel sorry for not winning the game, but they don't realize it. They have gradually adapted to such a game!

This is a good phenomenon.
