The game has now reached the 75th minute, and all substitution quotas for both sides have been used up.
After Yunsheng used up one substitution spot on Wu Lei during the midfield, he replaced Zhang Yuning and Wang Chuhe with Wei Shihao and Hao Junmin respectively. Dong Fangzhuo moved to the center at the center position, allowing Wei Shihao to seek opportunities on the wing, and Hao Junmin in the center. He and Chen Tao both pushed forward, trying to score as soon as possible.
Now the offensive and defensive situations of the two teams are similar, and Yun Sheng hopes to get a good start.
However, shortly after the team made substitutions and adjustments, Croatia scored again.
This time it was a continuous pass from Croatia in the midfield. Modric attracted enough attention, and Mandzukic on the striker also made the Chinese team very uncomfortable. At this moment, Rakitic suddenly received the ball and moved forward. , a blast shot from the penalty area line!
The ball went in!
3 to 2! Croatia scored another goal and took the lead again!
It is now the 80th minute, and the Chinese team must attack with all its strength.
Next, Yun Sheng did not hesitate, asking Yu Hai and Zhang Chengdong to press forward with all their strength and create opportunities on the wing.
Especially Yu Hai, who instantly changed from left back to left winger, the Chinese team's front line fought hard!
The Chinese team continued to attack until the 88th minute of the game.
Yu Hai suddenly cut in from the wing, causing Croatia's defensive chaos!
In the past, Yu Hai has been cutting in from the right and then shooting. He rarely uses this method on the left.
This time, after he cut directly in, he chose to shoot into the far corner of the goal with his left foot!
The ball hit the goal post! Bounce back into the penalty area!
The forward of the Chinese national team has been closely watched by Croatia!
At this moment, Chen Tao quickly moved forward and shot in front of the goal!
The ball went in! ! !
3 to 3! Chen Tao scored a stunning goal!
This goal made the whole audience excited!
Chinese fans celebrated wildly! The Chinese players held the ball and ran towards their own half!
Especially Chen Tao, who scored the goal, shouted to his teammates: "We still have a chance! We have to fight for victory!"
However, it was already injury time, and two minutes flew by.
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was over!
Yun Sheng on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief.
Although they failed to win this game, the Chinese team showed enough hard work and passion, and the final draw was also full of resilience.
Yunsheng can accept this result. After all, in his mind, Croatia is the strongest opponent in this group.
Don't lose to Croatia and strive to win the next two games. This is Yunsheng's psychological expectation.
In another group match, Argentina tied Italy 0-0. The club's top scorer failed to gain any advantage from Italy's super-defensive team. After the first round of the group stage, two draws made the situation of this group a mystery.
Four days later, on June 21, the Chinese team ushered in the second match of the group stage against the Italian team.
The coach of the Italian team is Ventura. As the former coach of Turin, the Italian team led by Ventura took risks and advanced through the play-offs. Originally, the Italian Football Association was planning to give up on him, but considering the longevity of the World Cup, there was no suitable candidate for the time being, so they let him lead the team to participate in the 2018 World Cup.
The Italian team is strong, but Ventura is weak. Especially in the last game, although they tied with Argentina, Yun Sheng had only one comment on Ventura's formation - xjbt.
The offense has no clue, and the defense relies on accumulation. If the club champion wasn't in his best form, they would have been defeated long ago.
But despite this, Yunsheng did not underestimate the Italian team. After all, this team was the one he once led. There are still many of his former disciples in the team, and many of the players have played against them when he was coaching Juventus.
On the sidelines of the court, several Italian players walked towards Yunsheng and bowed to the former coach who led them to win the 2012 European Cup.
"gentlemen!"
Yun Sheng looked at the former disciple in front of him, his eyes filled with relief.
Balotelli, Chiellini, Barzagli, Montolivo, Giovinco, Astori.
In this Italian team, these 6 players have participated in the 2012 European Cup with Yunsheng.
Looking at these old Italian friends, Yun Sheng wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he still didn't know what to say.
Is it to reminisce about old times, or to have a relaxing chat?
In the end, Yun Sheng gave everyone a friendly hug and said: "Guys, I wish you good luck."
In this game, the Italian team still deployed the same 5-3-2 formation as the previous game. The striker combination was Pelle and Eder, and the three midfielders were Montolivo, Florenzi and Soriano. This offensive combination is called "the weakest in the world" by Italian fans.
Maybe Ventura thinks that offense is not important, and the Italian team's defense is justice.
Yunsheng knows very well that these players are also good in strength, but they are indeed far behind the previous generations of Italian offensive combinations.
Del Piero, Inzaghi, Vieri, Totti...
All these stars are no longer in the team. Even the combination of Cassano and Balotelli, which Yunsheng is very optimistic about, only Balotelli is left on the bench.
Balotelli performed very well at Leeds United last season, and Yun Sheng didn't understand why Ventura didn't let him start in the World Cup.
Maybe it has something to do with Balotelli's temper.
In this game, Yunsheng took into account physical issues and made a certain degree of rotation.
4-3-2-1 formation: goalkeeper Yan Junling, four defenders Jiang Zhipeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, midfielders Wu Xi, Hao Junmin and Chen Tao, two shadow forwards Wei Shihao and Dong Fangzhuo, center Zhang Yuning.
Yun Sheng once told his disciples before the game that his team does not have an absolute main force, and whoever is in good condition will play.
Facing the poor Italian team, the Chinese team launched a fierce attack from the beginning.
In the 15th minute of the game, the Chinese team scored.
This time it was Wei Shihao's personal performance. Facing Italy's crazy defense, Wei Shihao hit three people in a row on the left and passed a low ball to the center of the penalty area!
Zhang Yuning scores a header with a header! The ball went in! ! !
1 to 0! The Chinese team took the lead!
In the 38th minute of the game, the Chinese team got a good free kick opportunity.
The distance is far away and Chen Tao passes into the penalty area!
Wu Xi won the ball at the front point, but he had no chance under the pressure of the Italian defender!
Header and rub! There is a red jersey in the middle of the penalty area, leaping high and heading the ball towards the goal! The ball went in! ! !
It’s the old captain Zheng Zhi!
2 to 0! The Chinese team is leading by two goals and they are in excellent condition today!
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team had a clear advantage.
Yun Sheng was in a good mood. He thought the team would continue to maintain this state in the second half, but unexpectedly, a red card disrupted Yun Sheng's plan.
"Pellet was tackled from behind by Wei Shihao! The referee's whistle sounded!"
"Second yellow card! Wei Shihao was sent off! He paid the price for his impulsiveness!"
