Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1777 Hold back the fist

After seeing Kamara step forward to catch the ball, and then suddenly let the football pass and turn around to start accelerating, Qin Lin's heart beat wildly and he was so nervous that he opened his mouth involuntarily.

He knew that Peng Weijun was very fast, but this time Kamara was "calculating mentally but not intentionally", and Peng Weijun, who was passively fighting, could not maximize his speed advantage.

You will be left behind by Kamala as soon as you come up.

Sure enough, Qin Lin watched the two people compete in the 100-meter race on the sidelines...

Peng Weijun may not be able to see it from the first-person perspective, but he can see it clearly from the third-person perspective on the sidelines:

Although Kamara has an extra movement of wading the ball, he is indeed faster than Peng Weijun after wading the football out.

So Peng Weijun may feel that he is neck and neck with Kamara.

But in the eyes of everyone except him, Peng Weijun has always been a pursuer.

He tried his best to shovel for the last time, but it was more like a death struggle...

Of course, he failed to tackle the ball and instead let Kamara run away.

After seeing Kamara shoot the football into the goal, Qin Lin's tense body relaxed.

He leaned back and let out a sigh of regret - he still couldn't prevent it.

It is obvious that the Madrid Pirates regard Peng Weijun's side as a key breakthrough, and both goals were scored here.

After all, Peng Weijun is a left-back who rushes to the shelf. In fact, he didn't need to tackle just now. A slightly more experienced defender would have given up chasing the ball and instead cut across to Kamara's path, blocking him from catching up with the ball.

In this way, even if it is a foul, at most it will be a free kick like a short corner kick, which is better than letting Kamara directly into the penalty area.

Peng Weijun is fast and hardworking, these are his advantages.

But it is really too difficult for him to temporarily switch to left back as a winger and expect him to guard Europe's top attackers like Ismael Kamara.

Qin Lin had already thought of this when he decided to let Peng Weijun play left back.

He originally hoped to score as soon as possible before losing the ball, so as to disrupt the rhythm of the Madrid Pirates and drag the game into the rhythm of the South China Tigers.

He knows it is difficult and he also knows the strength of Madrid Pirates.

But he still wanted to give it a try.

As a result, if I try it now, it will pass away...

The first half lasted only half an hour and we fell behind by two goals.

The opponent has not yet deployed all their main players.

The disparity in strength between the two teams is simply despairing.

After scoring, Kamara rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate. He ran past Peng Weijun and then performed a "robot dance" in front of the camera in the corner flag area.

No one was watching his dance, and the Madrid Pirates players quickly rushed up and surrounded him.

A two-goal lead means that the Madrid Pirates are almost certain to win this game, reach the Club World Cup finals, and have the opportunity to compete with South American Copa Libertadores champion Russell for the championship.

Qin Lin shook his head, sighed and said to his assistant coach: "Let the team recycle and slow down."

※※ ※

Peng Weijun looked away from the head coach Qin Lin on the sidelines.

I still felt a little uneasy and ashamed.

Just now, when the Madrid Pirates players were still celebrating the goal, Huang Yao, who was closest to the sidelines, was called by the assistant coach for a face-to-face interview, and then brought the coach's latest instructions to the field.

The latest instructions are to shrink back, solidify the defense, slow down the pace, and stop confronting the Madrid Pirates.

This adjustment means that the South China Tigers' pre-game tactical arrangements did not work. The head coach believed that the goal had failed, so he could only change his tactics from active offense to solid defense.

The goal has changed from attacking to score goals to not conceding any more goals before the end of the first half.

Why is this happening? Of course, it’s because the South China Tigers didn’t attack well, failed to complete the set goals, and even conceded two goals...

Whether it was a poor offense or two goals conceded, Peng Weijun believed that he was responsible, and the responsibility was not small.

Not to mention the responsibility for conceding two goals. Both goals were initiated from his own side.

In terms of offense, although he served as the left back in this game, during the offense, head coach Qin Lin also arranged for him to actively press forward to help the team attack. Therefore, the team's poor offensive performance is also related to his insufficient support in the offense...

The team's current tactical adjustments are actually a helpless choice because his performance is not good enough.

Peng Weijun thought so in his heart.

He even thought that based on his poor performance, he might be replaced at halftime...

※※ ※

When the game restarted, although the South China Tigers had the right to kick off, they ended the attack hastily and quickly gave up the ball and retreated to their own half.

This is completely different from the previous reaction after the South China Tigers conceded the first goal.

Parotti immediately realized that the South China Tigers should shrink their defense.

This is normal - if the South China Tigers continue to attack them after conceding two goals, he has to wonder if the head coach of the South China Tigers is out of his mind...

Facing the South China Tigers who were shrinking in defense, Parotti decided to step up the offense.

It would be best if the suspense of this game could be completely ended in the first half.

So he stood on the sidelines and made a "press forward" gesture to the team.

Even though this is Hulay's homeland team, he will not be polite.

※※ ※

When Peng Weijun faced Kamara's shaking, he hesitated for a moment, and the opponent caught the flaw and turned inside to throw him away.

Fortunately, this time Yao Huasheng appeared on Kamara's cutting path in time and was able to clear out the big football ball that Kamara had dunked before him.

A throw-in was given to the Madrid Pirates.

Then Yao Huasheng stepped forward and grabbed Peng Weijun's arm, growling at him:

"What are you doing?! Peng Weijun! Cheer up! The game is not over yet!"

Then he lowered his voice, leaned forward, and said in Peng Weijun's ear: "The other party has obviously regarded your side as a breakthrough. Whether you like it or not, you have to face it!"

Peng Weijun seemed to be in a daze: "But I... am about to be replaced in midfield..."

"Then wait until you are replaced!" Yao Huasheng held his wrist tightly, "I would rather lose than be underestimated!"

Peng Weijun felt the pain coming from his wrist, and the pain brought him out of his trance.

He saw the captain staring at him.

Only then did he realize what a mistake he had just made.

So he quickly apologized to the captain: "I'm sorry, Captain Yao, I was distracted, I..."

Yao Huasheng didn't listen to his continued apology, but let go of his wrist and patted his shoulder: "Football is not about words, show your performance."

"Okay!" Peng Weijun raised his voice and nodded vigorously.

※※ ※

Although Peng Weijun promised well, when the game restarted, he still looked embarrassed here.

Kamara and Radu Grigore took turns attacking him, and Vukovich also turned this way.

Peng Weijun alone is obviously unable to handle this situation. Not to mention that he is an 18-year-old guest left back, even if an experienced main force is brought in, it will be difficult to handle.

So the South China Tigers also shifted their defensive focus to Peng Weijun.

The two sides fought fiercely on the left of the South China Tigers and the right of the Madrid Pirates.

Most of the time it was the Madrid Pirates who had the upper hand, and they also launched several attacks from here that ultimately threatened the South China Tigers' goal.

However, due to various reasons, he has not been able to score a goal.

"The South China Tiger is planning to set up a bus..."

On the rostrum, translator Yu Jintao, who was sitting next to Jorge Dillon, said with emotion:

"Qin Lin finally figured it out and stopped fighting the pirates?"

"Oh, no. I don't think so, Yu." Dillon, who was sitting next to him, spoke. "He may still want to fight the pirates to the death."

Dilong said the word "die knock" in Chinese with a slight accent, which sounded a bit awkward, but Yu Jintao understood it.

"Do you think Qin is cowardly? No, this recovery just shows that he has not given up his idea. He is just trying to avoid being ended by his opponent in the first half, so he is trying to keep the score. If he can keep it, I believe that during the halftime break, he will still let the team continue to attack like they did in the first half of the first half. Isn’t there a saying that goes like this? 'Punch back to punch forward better. .'. I think Qin is holding back his punches now, he is accumulating strength."

Yu Jintao didn't expect Qin Lin to have this idea. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What will this change? Can he still defeat the pirates?"

"Who knows?"

Dillon shrugged and curled his lips.

"But at least it can show 'courage'."

A close-up shot of the TV broadcast appeared on the big screen at the scene. Qin Lin stood in front of the South China Tigers' coaching bench, looking into the field with a solemn and nervous expression.
