Sports City stadium.

Players from China and Belgium came into the field holding caddies.

Situ Yunbing had already greeted and exchanged greetings with many Belgian players in the player channel.

The first world war with Belgium was more than a reunion with Martinez's old friend. When the 31-year-old de Brauner embraced situ Yunbing with implied excitement, those past glorious years in European football could not help floating in his mind again.

The hustle and bustle at the scene has increased significantly.

"CCTV, CCTV! Dear viewers, good evening and welcome to the 2022 Qatar world cup group C second round match between China and Belgium!

In the first round, both China and Belgium won. At present, the two teams are tied for the top with 3 points in this group!

The performance of the Chinese team in the first round is encouraging. Although our opponent today is Belgium, which ranks first in the world by FIFA, we have reason to believe that the Chinese team will not let Belgium win easily!

First, let's look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

The Chinese team started 433 today

Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.

Guards: Abdu haimiti, Bai yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.

Midfield: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.

Forwards: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.

Our starting lineup has not changed from the last game. This is our strongest lineup, there is no doubt about it.

Belgium today is also elite.

goalkeeper; Kurtuva.

Defenders: castagni, boyata, aldereveld, cobart.

Midfield: tilemans, de Brauner, dendongkel.

Forwards: solgan Azar, Lukaku, Eden Azar.

Belgium also showed their strongest team. Of course, their substitutes are also luxurious, such as vitessel, origi, bashuai, Carrasco, wiltonhorn and so on.

There was an interesting phenomenon in this game.

Luo Cheng and Luo Xin of the Chinese team fight together, while solgan Azar and Eden Azar of Belgium are also brothers. However, Eden Azar, who is more famous for Real Madrid, is two years older than solgan Azar of Dortmund. In order to make it easier to explain, we will call him little Azar today.

Both sides have a pair of biological brothers competing together. Such a picture is very rare in the history of world football!

And interestingly, both teams play wingers!

There will be a kick-off ceremony before the game. Let's wait for the start of the game. "

When playing the national anthem, no one on the Chinese team shed tears. The tears of Guo xuantu and he haolai in the first game really moved many fans. Some people may think it's exaggerated, but if you can be on the scene and feel it as a participant, everything is natural.

But the Chinese team is still solemn and unprecedentedly solemn.

They sing loudly, as if they want to spread the voice of China all over the world!

After the ceremony before the kick-off, situ Yunbing looked at the Belgian lineup and was filled with emotion.

He is familiar with most of the players in Belgium.

In front of Lukaku, Azar won't say. It's common to play against the teams they played in the Premier League.

De Brauner in the midfield was brought out of Hamburg by him. Although tilemans played for Leicester City, he was not on the top when situ Yunbing left the Red Army. He was really not familiar with it. Deng dongke landed in England just before situ Yunbing left the Premier League.

Aldereveld on the back line and goalkeeper kurtuva are also his old acquaintances. They play for castegni in Atlanta, a new upstart in Serie A, boyata in Hertha in Berlin, and the only one in the Belgian array who does not play for the five major league clubs is left back kobat, but he has a long history and plays for Belgian giants Anderlecht.

As for the little Azar in the front line, situ Yunbing didn't pay much attention in the past. In short, according to situ Yunbing's status and vision in the Red Army in those years, he couldn't even see the Azar in the middle and later stages, not to mention his comprehensive strength couldn't compare with his brother's little Azar at all.

But at that time, situ Yunbing was the Red Army with an unprecedented coaching lineup. Now he is coaching the Chinese team. In terms of overall strength, Belgium's lineup is definitely at least one level higher than the Chinese team!

When the whistle went off at the beginning of the game, the Chinese team took the lead in kicking off.

Accompanied by deafening cheers, situ Yunbing and Martinez both stood in the coach's command area to supervise the battle.

They looked solemn and serious.

Belgium did not start a positive anti grab after the opening. The experience of the past two competitions made Belgium more calm in the face of the game, which was not as easy to get out of control as in the past.

The Chinese team, facing the powerful Belgium, chose to pass the ball backwards in the backcourt to strive for the whole team to enter the game state faster.

The configuration of the two teams is still relatively similar. In terms of the guard line, Belgium has a stronger ability to assist. The main reason why Atlanta has prospered in Serie A in recent years is that they mainly focus on offensive football!

Full back castagni naturally has a strong ability to assist. On the other side, kobat plays better than the first-class giants Anderlecht. Not to mention the European war, the domestic field naturally makes waves in the other half all year round.

In the midfield, de Brauner is naturally the core of the organization. Tilemans is like a transition. Just like him in Leicester City, endidi is the core of defense. He assists from the side and also undertakes the task of supporting the attack. Dundongkel is a defensive back waist.

As for the front line, Lukaku has been reborn from the Premier League to Serie A. little Azar is outstanding in Dortmund's strong speed impact system. As for Azar who can't find the state after going to Real Madrid, he belongs to a skinny camel, which is bigger than a horse. No matter how not, as long as the body state is OK, he is a role that the opponent can't ignore.

Enough to see that Belgium's third line is stronger than China's third line!

Zhao Fenghua, the strongest midfielder of the Chinese team, may not have an advantage if compared with de Brauner, 31. You know, de Brauner works hard in the Premier League all year round, and his physical quality and endurance are stronger than those in other leagues!

Not to mention organizational talent, de Brauner is the ceiling that other attack organizers in this era have to look up to all their lives!

When de Brauner retired, it can be said that the midfield master of an era retired from the Jianghu!

The first wave of the Chinese team's offensive failed to create a threat. Zhao Fenghua passed the ball to the front court, and Wu Lei answered and knocked the ball sideways on the left. Luo Cheng found that castagni didn't grab the ball, but turned to block his continuous forward line. Then tilemans rushed to rob Luo Cheng, and he blocked his cross line, which made Luo Cheng only break through by force, As a result, after taking the outside line, castagni rushed out to press him again, forcing Luo Cheng to deliver the ball.

As a result, the ball was broken by boyata halfway.

After Belgium broke the ball, the three men in the front line of the Chinese team quickly returned to defense. Wu Lei rushed towards tilemans for the first time. He couldn't rush to find de Brauner. That was the target of Zhao Fenghua's marking, while Luo Cheng and Luo Xin quickly retreated along the sideline to increase protection for the backcourt sideline as much as possible.

The attack and defense conversion in Belgium was also very fast. Deng dongkel passed the ball to de Brauner's feet. Zhao Fenghua did not take the initiative to grab it. He looked at de Brauner at the center line behind the center circle. The latter's ball began to move forward. Zhao Fenghua quickly retreated. After retreating to the key defensive area, Zhao Fenghua was ready to intercept it head-on.

De Brauner sent a foot to the ground oblique pass and found Azar cut in the side.

Although Azar is also 31 years old, his ball control technology has not decreased at all. For technical players, the growth of age will not decline their technology. What they decline is only physical fitness, explosive power and speed.

At the moment when Azar took the ball, he shifted the ball and accelerated to pass by Zhang Zhibang!

Zhang Zhibang's first grab was really fierce. When he stopped and turned to chase again, he found that fortunately, Huang Bozhou guarded the middle area in front of the restricted area, so that Azar had no room to start shooting.

When Huang Bozhou robbed again, Zhang Zhibang took over Huang Bozhou to guard the middle road in front of the restricted area.

Azar saw that the Chinese team had a tight defense, so he crossed the ball to the right.

Little Azar took the initiative to receive the cross cut stop and sent a cross.

The football was hoisted to the right rib of the restricted area.

Lukaku obliquely inserted into the empty area behind Cheng Renjun and shook his head to attack the door!

Because the angle of his twist was a little big, it was difficult to force. As a result, the ball flew gently to the goal of the Chinese team. Shen Jingjie held the ball in his arms after moving one step.

The Chinese team successfully resisted the first wave of attack from Belgium.

Situ Yunbing gestured to the team on the court. The rhythm was wrong just now!

The Chinese team was hit back by Belgium!

In fact, the situation is very simple. It is more difficult for the Chinese team to break through the Belgian defense line in positional warfare than to climb to the sky, because it is a taboo!

If you want to make a difference in positional warfare, Zhao Fenghua's position must be pressed forward to the front of the other party's restricted area.

But then the risk of the whole defense line will increase a lot.

De Brauner can pass the ball with one foot and let Belgium's attack hit the forefront at the first time!

Coupled with the Azar brothers' ability to break into the flank, the Chinese team simply does not have the capital to press the positional warfare and strong attack!

They want to ensure the safety of the defense line at all times. This is the first criterion!

Martinez saw situ Yunbing gesturing at the edge of the field to make adjustments, and his heart became somewhat heavy with conditioned reflex.

But he soon laughed at himself.

Once upon a time, when playing with situ Yunbing in the Premier League, the other party's every move was concerned by the whole Premier League. Perhaps Everton, who he coached, was frequently slaughtered by Liverpool. It was really a psychological shadow by situ Yunbing that year!

Today's World Cup game, he doesn't have to be so nervous.

The most important thing is not to be influenced by situ Yunbing!
