Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

Chapter 574 Instead of Watching Videos, Watch Art of War

In the Evergrande locker room, the players are whispering, waiting for the game to start.

Scolari didn't speak or deploy tactics there, just paced back and forth.

It wasn't until everyone quieted down and looked at his coach that Scolari said, "Everyone thinks we're doomed to lose this game, do you think so too?"

Only then did the players realize that Scolari wanted to boost morale.

Everyone knows that Scolari likes "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but it is used in Brazil and Portugal, but in China, Scolari's mind has been guessed by the players.

A head coach, instead of watching the video, he watched the art of war...

But captain Zheng Zhi still had to choose to cooperate. Of course, helping the head coach manage the locker room should be a good show, and he also knew the importance of morale, so he immediately said, "Of course not!"

But Scolari did not boost morale as the players expected, but waved his hand, "To be honest, no matter how hard you talk, you can't bridge the gap between us and Chelsea."

clam?

At this time, almost everyone was stunned, including those few foreigners. They actually heard Scolari's intention to boost morale, but what does this sudden big turning point mean?Did Scolari simply surrender?

Scolari seems to know what the players are thinking, "We are indeed weaker than Chelsea in terms of strength, and a lot weaker. This is not called surrender, it is called recognizing reality."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. No one would think that Evergrande is strong enough to challenge Chelsea.But some fans said that if Evergrande plays in the Premier League, it will definitely have no problem relegation.

In fact, many Evergrande players think the same way. This is the confidence brought by long-term victory-we will definitely not win the Premier League championship, but we should be better than the relegation team.

In the eyes of Evergrande players, they are already "humble".

The Evergrande players all looked to Paulinho. He played against Chelsea when he was at Tottenham, played back and forth, and was also a member of the Brazilian national team.

Although Paulinho is better than us, we can still keep up with his rhythm.

Didn't Chelsea also draw with Norwich?They also lost to Newcastle United last season. Why can't we draw or even beat Chelsea, who underestimated the enemy?

Paulinho knew he had to say something. He had indeed played against Chelsea three times, but he lost all three times. It was still the kind without any suspense, but at this time, losing nothing can not lose morale.

He stood up and shouted, "We are no worse than Chelsea! I have played against them, and I admit that they are very strong, but they don't take us seriously. This is our chance!"

Scolari secretly said that Paulinho went on the road, but his face remained calm, "Recognizing the gap between yourself and your opponent does not mean that you surrender, but failure always runs through your life. You must think clearly, this game Is it your only chance in this life? Will you have the chance to play against a top team like Chelsea in the future? Consider this game as the final of the Club World Cup, and show your full strength in the game. Slap those who look down on you, that's the only thing I ask of you."

Originally, those Evergrande players who dismissed Scolari's morale boosting and felt that they had seen through everything stood up. The blood in their hearts rushed, and they almost shouted, "It is our duty to recast the glory of the Chinese Super League."

Seeing the disciples whose morale was bursting, Scolari was very satisfied, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is really easy to use!

Although Scolari has boosted the morale of the Evergrande players, they also really want to fight Chelsea.But this does not mean that he has lost his mind in terms of tactical arrangements, and only his blood is left in his mind.

The tactics Scolari designed for Evergrande were defensive counterattacks.

This is a very wise choice. If you are weak and play against each other, that is La Liga... Even if you want to be a La Liga team, Scolari will also be Atletico Madrid, and he will defend with iron blood!

For this reason, Scolari also changed the formation. Instead of using 4231, he changed it to 442, abandoned the winger, and let Zheng Long and Bowen retreat to the midfield to participate in the defense.

He also did not use the Brazilian genius Robinho as a striker. Instead, he let Goulart and Elkesson play double forwards, and Robinho was used as a backhand, waiting for the counterattack in the second half.

Poet He highly appreciated Scolari's arrangement. He believed that Scolari deserved to be the coach of the World Cup champion.

The reason is simple, Chelsea started too aggressively.

From the first minute of the game, Chelsea took advantage of the kick-off to attack Evergrande's goal. In less than 1 minutes, Chelsea had three shots, two of which hit the target, forcing goalkeeper Li Shi to make two shots. save.

"Li Shi! He saved Evergrande again! Wishing's shot was powerful and heavy, but Li Shi's position was very good and his concentration was very focused! This save deserves applause!"

Poet He stood on the opposite side of wishing for the first time, which is also very understandable. As a Chinese commentator, he must of course stand on the side of the Chinese team without reservation.

Although Poet He doesn't think Evergrande can win, they must fight bloody and cannot surrender.

Obviously, the performance of this Evergrande team met Poet He's expectations.

Chelsea suddenly slowed down their offensive tempo, Fabregas waved his teammates to slow down, which surprised Poet He very much.

"Chelsea is going to change their offensive strategy. They found that Evergrande is not easy to deal with, and they can't handle it at will!"

Not only Poet He thinks so, but all the fans, including the Evergrande players, feel the same way. They can't help feeling a little bit more proud, so what if it's Chelsea?Didn't we still stand the same?

As a result, at this moment, Cesc Fabregas, who was still raising his hand to signal his teammates to slow down, suddenly made a long diagonal pass, and Di Maria on the right received the ball easily.

Not only did he catch the ball, but he also passed the slack Zou Zheng!

"Dangerous! Di Maria—"

Before Poet He finished speaking, Di Maria made a cross and hit the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

This pass is fast and has a large arc. Li Zhi dare not attack, so he can only pray that the defender can make a smooth clearance.

But can Jin Yingquan and Feng Xiaoting make a rescue?

The answer is obviously no.

Wishing pushed Jin Yingquan away, jumped high, and easily smashed the ball into the goal above Feng Xiaoting's head.

There were huge cheers at the Yokohama International Arena. Just the day before, the Japanese team Sanfrecce Hiroshima was defeated by River Plate 1-0. Many Japanese fans became fans of Chelsea and Wishing. Ball cheers.

"Ahhh!" Poet He was a little annoyed, "Chelsea scored first! This is their favorite start. When they take the lead, they can easily counterattack! This is the magic weapon for Chelsea to sweep Europe!"

After finishing speaking, Poet He had to sigh again, "Chelsea's experience is too sophisticated. On the surface, Cesc Fabregas is telling his teammates to slow down, but he is actually looking for gaps in our defense."

Fans and Evergrande players think the same way, but they think Chelsea is not sophisticated, but cunning!It's hard to do now. As long as Chelsea retreats to defend, Evergrande must attack, and the defense will be empty at that time.

With Salah, Di Maria and the ability to make a wish, this is equivalent to giving Chelsea a chance to score for nothing!
