Chapter 81 Dissecting the Opponent

Krauchen still hasn't returned to training and has become something of a mystery. These days, members of the Chinese coaching staff Gao Hongbo and Dong Fangzhuo are leading the team training together.

Gao Hongbo has no command authority and is only responsible for training. Dong Fangzhuo is the real powerful figure.

"France,"

"Our opponent is France. They are strong in every position and have almost no weaknesses."

"Although they played mediocrely in the group stage, teams that start slowly tend to get better and better later on. This is true for all previous World Cup champions, including us."

"They look like champions."

"But, they met us."

"We're going to take off their championship masks."

Dong Fangzhuo was analyzing the French team in the tactical conference room. No one in the world knows the French team better than him.

He even knows every player well because he has twice the memory advantage.

"Let's talk about Mbappe first. He is my apprentice." Dong Fangzhuo planned to study them one by one. "This guy is probably going to be the best player for the next ten years."

"This guy's starting speed, no one can catch up with him, except me."

There was silence. Mbappe has become a world-class forward at Manchester United in the past three years, even though he is only 19 years old!

What Dong Fangzhuo said is true. There are really not many people who can stop Mbappe.

"So, we can't let up any slack from the first second. Never leave his side more than half a meter, and never let his body face the goal!"

"I can responsibly say that if we cannot guard against him, we will be finished. He is the most dangerous player in the French team."

Dong Fangzhuo gave Mbappe five stars.

"Pogba,"

"This guy likes to rush up and attack, but he also likes to show off his three-legged cat skills." In front of Dong Fangzhuo, Pogba's foot skills are not enough.

"But he actually only has a few tricks, emergency stop and smash, riding a bicycle, or occasionally doing a Marseille slalom. At this level, he can play well. But as long as we don't make random moves, he can also It’s not difficult to guard against him. After any action of this guy, he always likes to play the ball to the right, because his dominant foot is his right foot. The level of through balls is average. What we have to guard against is that he passes the ball through the top. This guy is too good. You can still head the ball. But the key point is what I just said, he likes to move to the right and dribble the ball. Follow him and don't take the ball easily."

"The third one, Griezmann."

"He doesn't like to work alone. He likes to cooperate with his teammates. He will fight alone unless he has to. Physical fitness is not his strong point, so he prefers to work with his teammates to break through the defense line, so we have to block him head-on. Don't Let him rush."

"The fourth one, Kanter."

"This guy is scared to death, but offense is not his strong point."

"..."

From the main players to the substitutes, Dong Fangzhuo analyzed them one by one. Even Gao Hongbo on the side was stunned for a moment. If it were him, he would never explain it in such detail. Before, he was a little worried that Dong Fangzhuo was not qualified to be the team's coach, but now he is convinced. Although Dong Fangzhuo is not very old, he really looks like a head coach.

"Now, let me talk about our offensive tactics."

"First of all, we must not mess up."

"I will appear in the middle of the midfield. Feng Jin will be in the middle of the left wing."

"We played without a forward, and Hao Junmin on the right was just a feint because you don't have the speed. Our focus is on the center and left."

"..."

The French team has been frequently exposed in the news media. French coach Deschamps has been emphasizing in interviews with French media: "Our goal when we came to Russia is to reach the finals."

"Although the next games will be more difficult, the French team will try its best to use its advantages to make the game develop in a favorable direction. The team came to Russia to be able to play all 7 games including the finals."

"Please wait and see."

Deshang is full of confidence! He was also proud of his victory over Argentina.

"The fact that we can win against Argentina is proof that we are a strong team and I am very pleased."

"One of the values ​​of football is that it reflects the dedication of the players. As the captain said before the game, we fight for our parents, brothers, sisters and country, and fight with all our strength! Indeed, the team did this ".

Talking about the next opponent, the Chinese team, Deschamps said: "The Chinese team is a strong opponent. It has the best forward in the world. Everyone has seen the dominance of the Chinese Dong in the game. He was born to appear for the World Cup. of."

"But don't forget, we also have Mbappe, Griezmann, Pogba, Matuidi, Kante..."

"If a united French team with bright stars and extremely strong strength cannot win the Chinese team, I think we might as well disband the national team?"

"What Uruguay can't do, our French team can do."

"On July 6, we will be the final winner."

Almost everyone in France is talking about the Chinese team and Dong Fangzhuo, and during training, Deschamps also handed over the task of defending Dong Fangzhuo to Pogba and Kante.

"This guy will definitely retreat to the midfield, so the back line will not be able to contain him. You two will be his opponents."

"N'Golo, Paul, you two must be seamless in defense. Paul, you are responsible for frontal blocking, N'Golo, you are responsible for destroying at any time. If you fail, then France's defense will be in absolute danger. .”

“There can’t be any slack or relaxation in defense.”

"When you switch from defense to attack, N'Golo, you need to continue to follow him closely. Paul, you can attack with Matuidi, but once the attack fails, you must run to the Chinese Director General as soon as possible. By your side, remember, you must! There can be no mistakes!" Deschamps' expression was very serious.

"Don't have that attitude of walking back slowly with your head hanging down after losing the ball!"

"Don't miss the greatest trophy in your best years!"

“This year is our best chance.”

Pogba nodded expressionlessly.

"Don't worry, boss, I will greet him well. I can do it."

"I hate that guy."

Of course he hates Dong Fangzhuo. At that time, he and Ferguson both expressed that they did not want him to return to Manchester United. Dong Fangzhuo also directly criticized him. To others, Dong Fangzhuo was the king. For Pogba at that time, Dong Fangzhuo was his most hated enemy!

"You beat him,"

"You'll win the Ballon d'Or."

"Anyone who wins against him is..."
