I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

Chapter 273: The Second Half Begins

At the end of the first half, the Croatian team temporarily led the Huaxia team 1-0 with Mandzukic's goal.

The Croatian fans at the scene cheered excitedly.

They even sang their national anthem in the stands, and the camera passed by the Croatian fans.

They all made exaggerated expressions towards the camera, and it could be seen that they were in a very good mood.

Compared with the Huaxia fans, they were much quieter, and many fans started playing with their mobile phones.

In fact, being able to qualify in the group has already satisfied the fans.

But when the team falls behind, the fans are still very sad.

At this time, the fans who are far away in China, although they all said that they played well, they still have regrets.

The players on both sides returned to the locker room, and the Huaxia players walked back with their heads down.

After returning to the locker room, all the players still bowed their heads.

After Lippi returned to the locker room, he made tactical adjustments to the players.

"Although we are behind, I want to say that you performed very well in the first half of the game."

"But it's not enough, we have to strengthen our offense."

"First of all, Cai Jian, you come off the bench in the second half." Lippi said to Cai Jian.

Cai Jian became excited when he heard Lippi's words.

Every time I see the team's offense fails, or is attacked by the opponent.

Cai Jian is anxious in his heart, Cai Jian hopes to help the team.

"And that's not enough. In the second half, Cao Haoyi also came off the bench."

"I need you two, stepping up the frontcourt."

Hearing Lippi's adjustment, Li Long was shocked.

Li Long didn't expect Lippi to change two people in a row, which is really very rare.

In the past, Lippi gave Li Long the feeling that he was too conservative.

But soon Li Long understood that the group stage and the knockout stage must be different.

Being conservative in the group stage can increase the possibility of promotion.

But the knockout rounds are different. Being conservative after falling behind is undoubtedly courting death.

Cui Dongzhen's performance in this game was mediocre, facing a team of the level of the Croatian team.

Cui Dongzhen is really not good enough, which is why Lippi replaced him.

However, Lippi did not choose Huang Haiming because Huang Haiming's passing ability is very good.

But in terms of finishing ability, Cao Haoyi is better.

In the case of one goal behind, playing Cao Haoyi is a better choice.

On the other hand, in the locker room of the Croatian team, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

The team's lead made them full of fighting spirit, but they did not let down their vigilance.

Because the Huaxia team attacked several times, and they were very threatening.

The halftime break ended quickly and the second half began.

Lippi has been standing on the sidelines, not daring to relax in the slightest.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Huaxia team changed two people in a row.

The midfielder Liu Yuchang and the right winger Cui Dongzhen were replaced, and Cai Jian and Cao Haoyi were replaced.

"Everyone! We have returned to the scene of the game and continue to explain the World Cup 1/8 finals for you." Hong Gang explained.

"The Huaxia team made two substitutions as soon as they came up, and replaced them with Cai Jian and Cao Haoyi."

"I didn't expect Lippi to choose Cao Haoyi when he was behind. In fact, Huang Haiming is undoubtedly more famous in terms of fame."

"I also hope that Cao Haoyi can live up to Lippi's trust and perform well in the next games."

With the adjustment of substitutions, the Huaxia team's tactical formation changed accordingly.

Changed to a 4-4-2 formation, the midfield control will undoubtedly be weaker after the change.

Lippi chose to replace Liu Yuchang, first because Chi Ruofei performed really well.

A few returns saved the team, and the offense was very involved.

And Liu Yuchang's performance is relatively average, more on the defensive end.

The second is that Chi Ruofei has good physical fitness, and players like Chi Ruofei are more needed in the second half of the game.

After the game started, the midfielder was not as good as the Croatian team.

After Liu Yuchang went down, the Huaxia team's midfielder was even worse than the Croatian team.

The Croatian team has been in control of the ball, only 3 minutes into the second half.

Rebic on the right, after receiving the pass, made a direct cross from the right outside the penalty area.

However, under the interference of Qiu Hailong, the quality of the pass was relatively average.

Mandzukic in the latter point couldn't match the football at all, because the cross was too big.

Mandzukic wanted to chase the ball, but Lin Tianjun kept following him.

Lin Tianjun stuck him, making it impossible for Mandzukic to speed up and chase the ball.

I could only watch the football and rolled out of the sideline.

However, although they failed to score this time, the Croatian team occupied the ball and allowed them to attack frequently.

Modric suddenly sent an overhead pass to find Mandzukic in the frontcourt.

After Mandzukic headed the football down, he ran towards the penalty area.

At this time, several Huaxia players raised their hands high towards the linesman.

The lineman followed suit and raised the flag in his hand.

Mandzukic's ball was slightly offside.

In fact, Mandzukic also knew that he was offside, so he turned around and walked back without fighting.

In the next few minutes, the Croatian team attacked a few more times.

Although the threats are not very big, it makes Huaxia fans worry.

The situation was too one-sided. After the start of the second half, the Huaxia team didn't even hit the goal.

Finally, in the 50th minute, Wei Jiafeng pushed the football to the right.

Cao Haoyi patted his horse and rushed to receive the football, facing Strinic's defense.

After Cao Haoyi took two steps towards the bottom line, he slowed down and turned back.

Strinic quickly posted it up, trying to stop Cao Haoyi's cross.

Now the Huaxia team has two forwards, and they are both well-known in Europe.

We all know that both of them have the ability to head the ball, so his first reaction was to stop him from crossing.

But what he didn't expect was that Cao Haoyi had no intention of passing the ball at all.

I saw Cao Haoyi buckle his left foot and pull the football to his right.

So Strinic went to Cao Haoyi's right to defend, and then Cao Haoyi changed direction again.

He actually got rid of Strinic directly, and Strinic was even knocked down by Cao Haoyi.

Strinic fell to the ground in embarrassment!

"Beautiful! Cao Haoyi's brilliance overwhelmed Strinic!" Hong Gang explained excitedly.

The players of the Croatian team were taken aback when they saw this, and Vida hurried over to make up for it.

However, Cao Haoyi directly chose to hit the goal, and Cao Haoyi's posture of hitting the goal was not big.

As if kicking a football lightly with his left foot, Cao Haoyi made a clever shot.

The football got under Vader's crotch and rolled towards the goal.

This was Cao Haoyi's intention, but it also limited his shooting angle.

Such a shot was too straight, and the goalkeeper Subasic hugged him in a thrilling manner.

Subasic hugged the football and lay down on the ground.

After Subasic stood up, he couldn't help wiping his sweat.

Although the ball was hugged by myself, the ball was too dangerous.
