Fox in the Penalty Area

"Vaos! China!"

"China! Fight to the right!!"

Javier waved the five-star red flag in his hand vigorously. He and his companions were trying to keep up with the rhythm of the Chinese fans and cheering for the Chinese team in their native language or non-standard Mandarin.

After shouting, they gathered together to discuss excitedly:

"It's so exciting! Who would have thought that the Chinese team would take the lead in the first three minutes?! I didn't expect it anyway!"

"Don't talk about us, I bet even the English didn't think of it!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone looked up to the sky and laughed happily.

Being able to defeat the always arrogant English fans is the happiest thing for these Spanish fans.

"I feel like the Chinese team is in good shape. I feel like they can really beat England!"

"Don't worry! Have more confidence in the Chinese team, they will definitely have the last laugh!"

"The Chinese team should take advantage of England being disrupted by this conceding goal and continue to attack! Try to score another goal in a short time, so that it will be stable!"

※※※

After the game restarted, the Chinese team indeed took advantage of the momentum of the just scored goal and launched a fierce attack on the England goal.

England, which lost the ball in a hurry, looked very embarrassed when facing the impact of the Chinese team.

Although they kicked off the ball, they quickly lost the ball and then shrunk their defense.

Facing the Chinese team's attack, he could only squat down to protect his face.

Fortunately, despite the Chinese team's aggressive offensive, they were not able to win two consecutive games in a very short period of time.

The England fans in the stands and in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief...

Watching Zhou Zijing's shot slide out of the door, John Falkingham in the stands first exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and then held his head in his hands.

He was surrounded by England fans doing the same thing.

The uniform movements are heartbreaking...

Matthew Miller also held his head in his hands, but as the backbone of this group, he had to comfort everyone: "Seven minutes have passed and the Chinese team has not scored any more goals. They must slow down, otherwise their physical strength will We won’t be able to keep up...and our people are gradually adapting. England has passed the most dangerous period!"

It's not like he was telling lies to comfort people without conscience.

From these few minutes of the game, everyone can indeed see that the England players are gradually recovering from the panic of just losing the ball.

If the Chinese team does not score in the first four minutes, it will not be easy to score again later.

In the first four minutes, England made various mistakes one after another. There was even a mistake in stopping the football on the sideline and giving up the ball without the pressure of the Chinese players.

At that time, England fans were really frightened to watch.

England commentator Matthew Cox couldn't help but say: "It looks like the Chinese team's quarter-final opponent is a team ranked outside the 50th in the world..."

But the most difficult moment was finally overcome by England.

Just after Zhou Zijing's shot missed the goal post, England head coach Ryan Jackson stood on the sidelines and yelled at the England players on the field. At the same time, he kept pressing down with his hands to signal them to stabilize. Don't rush to tee off.

England goalkeeper Dickinson received the instructions from the head coach, so he did not rush to kick the ball out.

Instead, after placing the football, he stood up and waited quietly for the Chinese team players to retreat, as if waiting for a low tide.

England's captain, centre-back Scott Wilson, also loudly reminded his teammates:

"Don't worry, calm down! We still have a lot of time!"

Then he shouted Pete Williams' name loudly: "Pete! Pete! Control the tempo!"

Pete Williams nodded. He had been moving towards the back line, and now he ran directly to the back line.

, almost standing with the defenders. At the same time, he gestured to goalkeeper Dickinson and asked for the ball.

Dickinson passed him the football.

When Pete Williams caught the ball, he adjusted his body orientation from facing away from the offensive direction to facing the Chinese team's frontcourt.

He was guarding against Chinese team players coming to attack him.

But unlike before, this time no Chinese team players came to press him.

Whether it was Zhou Zijing or Hu Lai, they just watched from a distance and had no intention of coming up.

Williams was not careless. He still passed the ball back and forth several times in the backcourt and found that the Chinese team seemed to have really adjusted its strategy and changed its style of play. It no longer pressed high like it had just scored.

Obviously they also need to reserve physical fitness.

When Williams saw this, he finally felt relieved - England had indeed withstood the fierce offensive after the Chinese team scored.

Although this process is very embarrassing, there is nothing better than being alive.

Only by living can you have a chance to fight back.

Of course Pete Williams knows his team is trailing, but it's not as bad as the end of the world.

A game lasts ninety minutes. If you include injury time, most games now last more than a hundred minutes.

As a professional player who has experienced many battles, Williams knows that falling behind at the beginning is not a good thing, but it is not a bad thing either.

This goal loss may wake us up from the impatient mentality that cannot wait for revenge.

As long as we stabilize our position, this game has just begun!

Williams finally passed the football forward and greeted his England teammates:

go ahead!

If the England team is the first to recover from the shock of conceding a goal in the opening game, then Darren Hunt is definitely a strong contender.

Not only did he not panic, but he was furious and wanted to use offense to vent his emotions in response to the Chinese team's goal.

Unfortunately, England's overall performance during that period was poor. No matter how hard he worked alone, it was of no avail. He could only be coerced by the general trend and run around like a headless fly on the field.

When Williams was performing a series of kicks in the midfield, Hunter kept raising his arms to signal them to pass the ball forward and pass it to his feet.

As a center, he almost has to retreat to the backcourt.

Now Williams finally passes the ball forward, and Darren Hunter, as the center, drops back past the halfway line again.

The football did come to his feet.

As soon as he caught the ball, there was a violent impact behind him.

Hunter didn't look back to see who hit him from behind. He stepped on the football with the soles of his feet, and at the same time bent his upper body, stuck his butt up, and carried the Chinese team players behind him.

He did not pass the football out immediately because he felt that it was just a simple pass and would not be helpful to the team's offense.

If he wanted to break the situation faster, he had to think of other ways.

He's waiting for more Chinese players to surround him, which will reduce their defensive numbers elsewhere.

As long as he can break through a little here, he can break through completely.

He intends to use his personal abilities to change the situation of the war.

Of course Darren Hunter also has this kind of confidence. Although he has a center physique, his foot skills are very delicate.

Although he is not very fast, he often uses his skills with his feet to perform extraordinary feats in games.

This time he just wanted to repeat his old tricks.

Seeing Ou Yangjin entangled with Darren Hunter, Xia Xiaoyu immediately rushed up from the side, planning to form a double-team with Ou Yangjin. Read the book

Hunter was waiting for Xia Xiaoyu to come up.

If Xia Xiaoyu didn't step forward, there would be no flaw in the Chinese team's defense in the middle!

Stretch your feet in Xia Xiaoyu

When he was about to kick the ball, Hunter gently pushed the football forward with his feet, causing Xia Xiaoyu to miss the kick!

Then he immediately caught up with him.

Ou Yangjin immediately followed.

Fans who saw this scene thought that Hunter would continue to dribble towards the backcourt and then look for opportunities to take a circle.

Unexpectedly, Hunter suddenly stepped on the football behind him!

At the same time, he turned around towards Ou Yangjin who was rushing towards him!

Ou Yangjin was caught off guard and was wiped away by Hunter!

This time it was the England fans' turn to get excited.

They cheered loudly and cheered for Hunter.

The momentum at that moment even exceeded that of Chinese fans.

But their cheers soon stopped.

Because Hunter, who had just passed Ou Yangjin and Xia Xiaoyu, ran into... Wang Guangwei!

The captain of the Chinese team, as a central defender, has almost reached the center circle!

This was really beyond Hunter's expectation.

So when he turned around and saw Wang Guangwei face to face, he was surprised. It was obvious that he lacked mental preparation.

Reflected on the body, it is that the feet are very hasty and want to push the football away, trying to pass the ball individually...

At the moment he poked the ball, Wang Guangwei turned around.

So after Hunter stabbed the football away, he couldn't stop the car and hit Wang Guangwei in the back.

Or to be precise, his belly hit Wang Guangwei's raised butt.

Hunter clutched his stomach and fell to the ground. Wang Guangwei caught up with the football without looking back.

The whistle didn't sound this time, but the boos were overwhelming - Chinese fans thought Hunter was diving.

William Sutton, another England striker, opened his arms to the referee and shouted wildly: "Foul! He fouled!"

But the referee ignored it. He could see clearly that Wang Guangwei turned around first, and then Hunter bumped into him.

If there is a collision foul, it was Hunter's collision.

Qin Qi saw Team Wang giving Hunter a hard blow from behind, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up:

The Kings are still awesome. Not only did Hunter suffer a loss, but he also didn't get a card!

Amidst the huge boos, Hunter did not continue to lie on the ground and show off. Although he was hit hard, he still struggled to get up from the ground holding his stomach.

Because the Chinese players have no intention of actively kicking the football out of bounds... If he stays on the ground and cannot get up, England will have one less effective player on the field.

Hunter, who got up, saw Wang Guangwei handing the football to Xia Xiaoyu, and he rushed towards Xia Xiaoyu and tried to steal the ball.

But Xia Xiaoyu quickly passed the football to Chen Xingyi before he pounced on it.

The Chinese team attacked again.

Although he didn't grab the ball, Darren Hunter was not angry or upset.

On the contrary, he was a little happy.

Because he saw the Chinese team rushing forward and attacking.

This is actually a good thing for the England team. As long as the Chinese team's offense fails, England will have the opportunity to directly counterattack!
