LRAB Chapter 337
Chapter 337
The World Cup is not only a carnival for fans, but also a grand event for all sports media around the world.
As the group stage on June 18 came to an end, related news immediately emerged in an endless stream.
"Croatia 2:0 Australia, Su Fei scored twice! Overtaking from the outside lane!"
"Argentina 6:0 bloodbathed Serbia and Montenegro, young player Messi made a goal and an assist in his World Cup debut!
"The Netherlands 2:1 Cote d'Ivoire, locking in the group qualifying spot in advance!"
"Portugal 2:0 Iran, Ronaldinho scored a penalty kick and scored the first goal of the World Cup!"
"After Japan scored the first goal, the Samba Army went crazy! Brazil defeated Japan 4:1!
"Disappointing Gallic rooster! France 1:1 South Korea, continuing the six-game losing streak in the World Cup group stage!
...
Two young people who have received much attention in this World Cup.
Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo finally scored their first goal in their World Cup career.
But apart from Argentina and Portugal, fans from all corners of the world are excitedly discussing Su Fei's two goals against Australia.
Messi and Ronaldinho's performances are indeed outstanding.
But how can they be compared with Su Fei, who scored twice again and scored 5 goals in 2 games?
- [There is no doubt that Su Fei is the best player in the current World Cup group stage! ]
- [OMG! Did you see Su Fei's overtaking in the outside lane? He passed the ball to himself 3 seconds later! ]
- [18 years old! Who dares to believe that he is only 18 years old! I have never seen a player who is so outstanding at the age of 18! ]
- [Don't say 18 years old, even those world superstars who have been famous for a long time are not as outrageous as Su Fei at the moment! ]
- [Explosive running on the wing and blasting in the middle, Su Fei seems to have evolved again, and directly changed to the king's style of play? ! ]
- [あらら! What to do? Our little brother country will play Croatia in the next game. There is no chance to qualify. Can the devil Su be a little gentler? 】
Those doubts before the Croatia vs Australia match.
Disappeared overnight.
...............................................
Croatia's last group match against Japan was on June 23. Although the interval was short, it also gave the players time to take a breath and rest.
Temporary training base.
A training match is in progress.
In this training match, Su Fei showed his full-level dribbling and speed without reservation.
Once again, the Kranjcar trio was amazed.
For this reason.
The Croatian coaching staff held a small tactical discussion meeting.
"Su is in even better shape than against Brazil."
"I think we must make adjustments, not only to use him as a finishing point, but also to arrange some breakthrough tasks accordingly."
"It just so happens that the next game is against Japan."
"Since we have already secured our promotion, we can boldly try new lineups and tactics, such as adding another striker to cooperate with Su's offense. What do you think?"
After Kranjcar put forward his ideas, he won the unanimous approval of Kovacs and Davor Suker.
A team with one of the strongest strikers in this World Cup.
If he is still the main defender.
It is indeed a bit unreasonable.
The new formation and new tactical system of the coaching staff were implemented very quickly.
On the morning of the 20th.
The Croatian men's football team began to practice and run-in.
The starting team A led by Su Fei defeated the substitute team B 5:0 in a 45-minute training match.
The effect is remarkable.
Kranjcar's change of formation once again liberated some of Su Fei's offensive and ball-playing abilities.
On the side of the court.
Su Fei, who was replenishing water under the scorching sun, also smiled.
The coaching staff finally stopped insisting on the turtle tactics.
Actually.
Su Fei has been looking for an opportunity to talk to Kranjcar during this period.
He really doesn't understand, just copy Stuart's set and it's done.
Now Kranjcar has finally come to his senses.
It saved me from having to go to him specifically.
The rest of the Croatian men's football team was also very satisfied with the new formation and new tactics, and they adapted quickly.
Confirmed to qualify from the group.
Let the whole team be full of confidence.
Especially Modric.
He and Su Fei played together in Manchester City.
Manchester City plays offensive football.
When they meet Chelsea, they are head-on and fight directly with bayonets.
Whoever is timid is a grandson.
In the new formation, Kranjcar moved him to the position of front midfielder, specifically to deliver ammunition for the two strikers.
This made Modric in the training matchLike a fish in water.
On the other side.
Of course, the Japanese men's football team is also preparing for the game intensively.
................................................
The temporary training base of the Japanese team.
38-year-old Moriyasu Ichi, standing on the sidelines, showing a bitter face.
Moriyasu Ichi has been very worried recently.
Australia reversed 1:3, and Brazil beat them 1:4.
In both games, the Japanese team scored first, but was tied by the opponent and then took the lead.
This is a big blow to the morale of the team.
The domestic media opinion is even greater.
A news report titled "Incompetent guy Moriyasu Ichi! The Japanese men's representative in the W Cup lost the most!" has already made headlines in the media in the island country.
This report denounces Moriyasu Ichi's incompetence.
He also brought up the result of the last World Cup, when the Japanese team advanced to the round of 16 with 2 wins in the group stage under the leadership of foreign head coach Philippe Troussier.
In contrast.
The Japanese men's football team led by Moriyasu Ichi actually regressed in this World Cup, losing 2 games and having no hope of qualifying.
Fans wailed in the island country.
In addition to the 0:10 loss in the last friendly match with Croatia, the confidence of Japanese fans in the men's football team has fallen to the lowest point in history.
Moriyasu Ichi is under a lot of pressure.
He has no words to say.
The overall lineup of this Japanese men's football team is based on the Brazilian Zico, and he is just taking over temporarily.
He feels like a scapegoat.
The happiness brought to Moriyasu Ichi by the youngest head coach of the Japanese men's football team has disappeared, and instead, he is sitting on pins and needles.
If the World Cup is not still going on.
Moriyasu Ichi really wants to quit.
"The last game is against Croatia...again!"
The scene of the "Tokyo Massacre" in which Croatia lost 0:10 is still vivid in my mind.
Moriyasu Ichi never expected that.
He rose to the top because of the "Tokyo Massacre", and the last game of the World Cup would be against Croatia again.
But.
It was a friendly match at that time!
The most hurt thing about the friendly match was the confidence of domestic fans, and fans in other parts of Asia gloated over it.
This time it's the World Cup!
It's not just broadcast live in Japan, but also broadcast live around the world!
In front of the whole world, being beaten 10:0 by Croatia again?
Moriyasu Ichi couldn't imagine what that would be like. It was like a football version of "Little Boy" exploding in China...
Revenge?
Moriyasu Ichi didn't dare to think about it.
Brazil and Australia couldn't beat Croatia, and with the team's current low morale, it was even more impossible.
So.
How to lose decently has become a question that Moriyasu Ichi has been studying and thinking about over and over again in the past few days.
Troubles will eventually turn into a sigh.
"Alas."
