Fox in the Penalty Area

1st cup goal account

"Zhang Qinghuan! Through ball! Oops! Almost! He passed the ball a little too wide, and Zhou Zijing failed to catch the ball! Zhang Qinghuan raised his hand to apologize to Zhou Zijing, but Zhou Zijing gave a thumbs up in return... Two people expressed their feelings towards this I thought of using the empty space, but I didn’t control the strength of the pass a little bit well... It doesn’t matter, if we continue to play like this, we may even hope to score another goal!”

"Most of these players have worked together from the Olympic team to this point, from club to national team, and have been friends for many years. They have developed a very tacit relationship and trust each other, so much so that they may not need to communicate verbally. With just one look, both sides can understand... This! This is the golden generation of Chinese football!"

Although the game has only started for ten minutes, Chinese commentators He Feng and Yan Kang have already praised it in various ways.

But they are really not bragging.

Not only them, commentators from all over the world are praising the Chinese team's performance during this period.

Because the Chinese team did play well.

They took advantage of the remaining power after Hulay's goal and continued to attack the Spanish defense.

The passing and movement between the players are very tacit, which makes the Chinese team's offense look smooth and not jerky.

And when they organize the offense, they have a very clear goal, as if they have thought about how to pass the football in advance. It is also rare to have the football at your feet, not knowing who to pass the ball to, hesitating and hesitating, and then letting the opponent cut it off.

The commentators explained the tacit understanding of the Chinese team as they have been playing together before and have a good relationship with each other, as close as brothers, so they can have such a tacit understanding.

If they could open their "eyes in the sky", they would be able to see that every Chinese team player would have several white chains of light connecting them with other teammates.

The light chains were so densely packed and intertwined that it was impossible to tell which one was which, and it was impossible to count how many there were.

If Hu Lai dared to open the system's vision, he would probably be blinded.

So he was very wise not to do this.

Anyway, there was one [Lingxi Card] per person, and even the goalkeeper Xiao Linzi was used.

He found that this thing changed with the tacit understanding between himself and other teammates in reality.

If he has a good relationship with the person he uses [Lingxi Card] and has a high level of tacit understanding on the field, then the effect of [Lingxi Card] will naturally be better.

On the contrary, if the relationship is very ordinary, or even if they don't like each other, the effect will be much worse.

[Lingxi Card] To put it bluntly, it is just adding to the original basis, rather than creating something out of nothing.

So how do you judge the effect of the bonus?

Look at the thickness of the light chain. The thicker the light chain, the higher the bond. The thinner the light chain, the less effective the effect.

And now in this national team, the light chain between most people and Hu Lai is as thick as a thigh.

"Hu Lai - here it comes again!! The goal post! Oops! His header hit the goal post! What a pity!"

Hu Lai, who had completed the header, saw this scene and put his head in his hands, his eyes widened.

The Spanish fans in the stands felt a little better, especially the Kings fans. They cheered for the goalpost of their team's home court: "This is the Crown Stadium!"

After Han Shuyu heard such a voice from a distance, he complained to Li Qingliang: "It seems as if the goal that Hu Lai scored just now was not the goal of the Crown Stadium..."

Li Qingliang laughed at her: "You are also a Kings fan."

Han Shuyu pulled the jersey on his chest and showed it to Li Qingliang: "What is this? This is the five-star red flag! What king? What pirates? I am a 100% pure Chinese fan now!"

The head coach of the Spanish national team, Kiri Borja, was also very anxious. He kept yelling at the players on the sidelines and waving his arms vigorously, reminding them to concentrate on the game itself and not think about all the messy things. .

But with little success.

Unless he rushes onto the court, grabs the ears of every Spanish player, and uses the "hair dryer technique" in their ears, it may not be easy to bring these players back...

Even he himself returned to normal after about ten minutes.

Before that, watching his team being suppressed by the Chinese team, he stood on the sidelines. Although he made some gestures and shouted a few words, it was just his physical instinct and his role as a professional coach. conditioned reflex, his brain is still blank and he has lost the ability to think.

Now at least he is reminding the players to concentrate while also thinking about how to break the game.

Substitution?

It’s difficult. How can a player be replaced just ten minutes into a game? Unless injured, whoever is substituted is tantamount to a public execution, telling the world that this player did not perform well and is responsible for the chaotic situation during this period.

Borja isn't going to do that, and it won't solve the problem.

He can only ask the players to shrink the defense first and stabilize the defense. At the very least, they cannot continue to lose the ball.

Then when the ball fell to the feet of a Spanish player, he would immediately shout from the sidelines:

"Steady! Slow down! Don't rush forward! Pass the ball to each other! Find someone! Run! Close the distance!"

After Borja finished directing, assistant coach Alexis Moyano came to Borja's side, covered his mouth with his hand and frowned: "But Killy, the Chinese team was very aggressive in the frontcourt... "

"I know, but we have to do it. Because otherwise, the team will not be stable. Only through several successful possessions and taking the football away from the Chinese team can the players regain their confidence and calmness. They were frightened by Hu's ball..." Borja said seriously.

Finally, he added: "We were also frightened."

After Rosas received the ball, he did not rush to pass it forward.

He controlled the football at his feet, which was entirely based on his instincts based on his own experience of playing football for so many years.

When your opponent presses harder and harder, you should not panic.

As an experienced veteran, he has gradually recovered from the initial shock and knows what he should do.

Faced with the close pressing and interference from the Chinese team's midfielder Ou Yangjin, he still insisted on protecting the football, and then passed the football back to nearby Campuzano.

Then he waved and directed Campuzano to pass the football to Mario Salado who dropped back to receive.

The three of them all played in Catalonia United and they cooperated very well.

So Campuzano quickly passed the football.

Salado withdrew from the forward position. He did not expect that the Chinese team's center back Wang Guangwei also ran back with him.

So the moment Salado caught the ball, Wang Guangwei suddenly grabbed it from behind him!

He reached Salado in one stride and separated him from the football!

Wang Guangwei, who intercepted the ball, did not pass the ball out immediately, as if the ball was hot to his feet.

He chose to dribble forward with the ball!

When Wang Guangwei intercepted the ball, both Rosas and Campuzano thought of retreating to protect the back line.

This gave Wang Guangwei room to dribble the ball forward, so Wang Guangwei was not polite.

It wasn't until Rosas finally reacted and pounced on him that he stabbed the football with his foot to Zhang Qinghuan who was pulling away diagonally.

After passing the ball, he did not turn around and go back, but continued to rush towards Spain's penalty area.

At this time, the original defensive midfielder Ou Yangjin replaced him and stayed behind to protect the space left by Wang Guangwei's advance.

This allows Wang Guangwei to be more decisive when penetrating forward and threaten the opponent's penalty area more.

At the same time as Wang Guangwei advanced, Hu Lai, who was outside the penalty area, suddenly ran into the penalty area.

Then Zhang Qinghuan distributed the football to Luo Kai on the wing.

When Luo Kai got the ball on the wing, Hu Lai went up to seek cooperation with him.

His run took Joel Jimenez away.

Luo Kai didn't pass the ball to him, but directly passed the ball!

We are looking for another striker Zhou Zijing!

Because Wang Guangwei's sudden advance attracted the attention of Nuno Sequeiros, another central defender of the Spanish team, he was slightly distracted and allowed Zhou Zijing to get in front of him.

He raised his foot and clicked the football forward. After catching up with him in a meteoric stride, he directly raised his right leg and shot!

Rodgris Backer, who had moved to the front to block the shooting angle, still underestimated the power and speed of Zhou Zijing's shot...

He didn't expect Zhou Zijing to shoot so decisively - even with the interference of Sequeiros pressing close to him, he still shot without hesitation!

The football flew over his head like a cannonball and rushed into the goal!

Only then did his arm rise...

The football has lifted the net behind him!

"Wow!!" He Feng in the commentary box was stunned for a moment when he saw the net being lifted up - he was wondering if the ball hit the side netting?

However, Yan Kang beside him couldn't wait to cheer: "The goal is in! The goal is in! Beautiful! Zhou Zijing! This goal is so beautiful! He scored his first goal in the World Cup!!"

At the same time, in the commentary box, commentators from all over the world were exclaiming:

"Zhou! Zhou! Wow! This shot was so decisive! He hit it too suddenly! Bakker may not have expected that Zhou could shoot directly like this! The Chinese forward who plays for Leeds City in the Premier League opened his World Cup career Ball’s account!”

"Zhou! Zi! Jing! Only eighteen minutes into the first half, the Chinese team actually led by two goals! Unbelievable! Ladies and gentlemen! If you just turned on the TV, please don't feel overwhelmed by the score in front of you. Surprised! Yes, you read that right! It is indeed the Chinese team leading Spain 2:0!"

"Oh my god! Before this game, who could have imagined that it would end like this? The defending champion Spain actually allowed the Chinese team to score two goals less than 20 minutes into the game! What kind of script is this?!"

"Only 20,000 Chinese fans could be heard cheering in the Crown Stadium, and their shouts became the main theme of this stadium. Where are the other 50,000 Spanish fans? They disappeared! Many people are probably thinking, what if this is a nightmare , please let them wake up quickly... But unfortunately, this is not a nightmare! This is reality! Spain is two goals behind the Chinese team!"

After scoring the goal, Zhou Zijing ran towards the corner flag area, and he wanted to do his own kneeling celebration!

But just as he ran over, Hu Lai jumped up from the side.

Because Hu Lai jumped towards Zhou Zijing during a sprint, Zhou Zijing couldn't maintain his balance no matter how strong his body was, so he was dragged to the ground by Hu Lai!

Then more Chinese team players rushed towards them, pinned them down and celebrated!

Zhou Zijing only had time to stretch out a hand in the crowd. That was him and his last stubbornness...
