From fans to superstars

Chapter 558 Semifinals!
Lippi's tactics are very clear!

Give up possession of the ball, defend and counterattack, and let Croatia press out and play!

Then find the right opportunity and kill him with one blow~
This is also the attitude and style of play that a weak team should have when facing a strong team!

To be fair, Dalic is definitely one of the best among the 32 coaches in this World Cup. His tactical arrangements against Brazil were textbook.

Facing Lippi in this game, his thoughts and actions have been taken into account by the old man before the game. Most people will expect things to develop for the better, and Dalic is no exception!

So he is even more looking forward to the result that Chen Yuyuan will not be able to play!

Dalic's lineup is exactly the same as it was against Japan - which is understandable!
After all, they are all Asian teams. After all, they all pay attention to ball control and have particularly strong offensive players.

But Dalic obviously lacked thinking. China lacks players who can control the midfield and pass the ball to threaten the ball, but they are really good at defending, and there are Chen Gaogao and Chen Yuyuan in front!

As for Wu Lei, he has long become an engineer in the backcourt and is contributing to the defense!

Even if necessary, Chen Gaogao will go back to being a human shield!

China's tactics are the ancient Brazilian tactics. At that time, Brazil had 3R in front of them. As long as the defense could hold on, just move forward and find the offensive player!
中国队看上去像是4-3-3，但是实际上是4-4-2阵型！

At first glance, we would think that Lippi wanted to compete with Argentina for control of the midfield - I am afraid Dalic thought so at the beginning, but that is not entirely true.

China's frontal defense in the center is actually very strong, but its weakness is on the wings.

This is weak and not comprehensive, mainly because only one wing on the wing can be flapped.
So in this game, the Chinese team mainly caused damage in the counterattack, and then tried to wear down Croatia's physical fitness!
Dalic's tactic in the first half was to let the three midfielders control the situation and press the attack, mainly focusing on the left wing of Kovacic and Perisic.

Defensively, Gvadiol focuses on guarding against Chen Yuyuan.

The other Chinese team players basically didn't pay much attention, even Chen Gaogao was not surprised!

Such tactics were very successful when Croatia was physically strong. Judging from the scene, China was unilaterally defeated by Europe!Basically suppressed.

Lippi took the initiative to give up control of the midfield, and the 4-4-2 parallel position protected the wings to a great extent.

Moreover, the four midfielders have good defensive abilities. Lippi saw Croatia's Achilles' heel - poor scoring ability.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!Dalic lost Rakitic and Mandzukic, Perisic and Modric are 4 years older, and their scoring ability has declined seriously.

In the first 20 minutes, Croatia had some chances but did not create any threat.

After almost half of the first half, the Chinese team began to slowly show its fangs. Chen Gaogao retreated appropriately and grabbed the clearance in the backcourt!
Croatia was left open, and after Chen Gaogao got the ball, he kicked it directly behind him!

This through ball exposed a very big hole in Croatia's defense.

There are at least 2 big loopholes. The first loophole is the large gap in the defensive area on the left. The ball carrier only needs to make a diagonal pass to find an unmarked teammate, and he will die.

The second loophole is that the top of the front arc of the Croatian penalty area is not protected enough. There is only one person and it is easy to be taken away.

This is actually not a big problem. After all, in their opinion, there is only one person in the Chinese team's offensive card, and that is Chen Yuyuan. It is enough to have a Gvadio guard!But this is too underestimating their veterans!
When Casemiro was at Manchester United, he showed a young midfielder a wave. He completely saw through it and knew what you were going to do. I was waiting for you to hit him!

Chen Yuyuan knows these defensive players very well!
Every move of Gvadiol did not exceed Chen Yuyuan's calculation. Chen Yuyuan first pretended to walk back. Gvadiol relaxed his attention for a moment, and then accelerated when Chen made a high pass!
Once Chen Yuyuan's speed picks up, it's completely impossible for Gvadiol to turn around or anything like that!
In this regard, Gvadiol can only choose to foul!

But Chen Yuyuan has long known Gvadiol's little thoughts. Even if it's fine when he runs away, Gvadiol can't touch anyone at all!

This is good, behind Chen Yuyuan are all the Croatian players except the goalkeeper, and only one of them is left in front of him!

If it were Chen Yuyuan in the past, he would just take the ball directly, enter the penalty area, and complete the shot!
But with Chen Gaogao's straight kick, Chen Yuyuan couldn't catch up at all!
The goal was resolved with a foul by the goalkeeper!
Countless Chinese fans held their heads in regret, and Chen Yuyuan also waved his fist heavily, somewhat understanding how Cristiano Ronaldo felt!

Deliberately killing a thief is powerless!

If he can be faster, he can get ahead of the goalkeeper, complete the shot and score!

"An attack by the Chinese team!"

“Almost breached the gate of Croatia!”

"This pass was a little bigger, and Chen Yuyuan couldn't catch up. It's not like him!"

"Yellow dot package! Who will take the penalty kick?"

Chen Gaogao's long pass did not find Chen Yuyuan!

Chen Yuyuan found Chen Gaogao's long pass and passed the Croatian defender. In desperation, he caused the goalkeeper to foul.

Many people feel that Croatia's performance in this World Cup is very amazing, and the Chinese team may completely lose this game!
After all, the Chinese team has nothing better than Brazil, except for Chen Yuyuan!

However, now they understand, there is more!

That's where China's midfielder is stronger than Brazil!

Fierce defense.

If the pass is better, then even if Chen Yuyuan is injured, if he can catch up with the ball, there is a high probability that he can score!
The Croatian fans stood up nervously. Lippi hesitated a little, wondering whether to let Wu Lei take the penalty kick, but soon he no longer had to hesitate!
Because Chen Yuyuan was already standing at the penalty spot holding the ball!
The other players had no intention of arguing!
Chen Yuyuan took a deep breath and looked at the goal!
There were many thoughts in his mind, and he forced himself to calm down!

Livakovic must have studied Chen Yuyuan's penalty kick rhythm!

My current ball speed angle is definitely incomparable to the full speed period!

If you pursue the angle too much, you may be kicked out!

So Chen Yuyuan directly chose to use his left foot to score the goal.

Livakovic obviously did not expect that although Chen Yuyuan has a balanced left and right foot, he still prefers to use his right foot~
But this time!
1:0
The Chinese team took the lead in scoring!

A solid step has been taken on the road to the finals!
