Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 33 Being Stared From Behind

"careful!"

He Feng issued a warning when Wuxian Heiyan rushed into the penalty area to catch the ball.

Then he watched Sugiyama Tatsuya score the football into the goal before Liu Yan could react, and he couldn't help sighing, "Oh - the Japanese team evened the score in only three minutes after conceding the goal! The lads seemed over excited after taking the lead..."

After losing the ball, the players of the Olympic team also looked very frustrated, and many of them lowered their heads.

Among them, Lin Zhiyuan was the most annoyed. He knelt down on his knees and beat the grass in front of the door hard.

As a talented goalkeeper, this is the first time he has represented a national team in a competition, and his performance before that can be regarded as very good.

Only one goal was conceded in the previous five games, which was in the match between the Chinese team and Qatar. This was because everyone's mentality in that game was a little bit broken by the Iranian referee Farhani, and they made a mistake in defense.

Under normal game conditions, no team has been able to break through the goal he guards.

It can be said that he used this Asian Cup to completely establish his main position in the Olympic team, and squeezed the original main goalkeeper Song Kun to the bench. It even prevented the original substitute goalkeeper Xiao Xiao from being selected for the Olympic team at all...

He originally hoped to maintain this result until the end of the Asian Cup, but he failed in the final.

And this conceded goal happened only three minutes after the team took the lead, and the blow to the team's morale was simply devastating.

He was very dissatisfied with his performance. He felt that he should solve the Japanese team's attack in the first shot, that is to say, he directly blocked Takenori Kuroiwa's shot.

But his reaction was still a bit slow at that time. In the end, he only had time to block the opponent's shot with his body, but failed to control the football, allowing the football to bounce in front of the goal.

The opponent's Tatsuya Sugiyama scored with a supplementary shot.

This made Lin Zhiyuan, who had high demands on himself, feel ashamed.

If the opponent shoots a world wave, it's fine if he doesn't jump. But it happened that he had already successfully blocked the ball for the first time, but was shot in by the opponent. On the contrary, it seemed that his first save was not good enough...

However, Lin Zhiyuan didn't feel heartbroken on the ground for a long time. After he beat the turf, he stood up, although his face was still a little upset,

But he has been able to face the game with a calm mind.

If you want to be a good goalkeeper, this is a must-have quality.

How can you be ready for the next shot if you're stuck in the frustration and anger of losing the ball?

※※※

After the Japanese team equalized, the game re-entered the stalemate.

The Chinese team who lost the goal also realized that they were too inflated and confident before. They really thought that if they scored a goal, they could take advantage of the situation and kill the Japanese team.

The reality gave them a loud slap in the face, and also woke up the players of the Chinese team.

After the game restarted, they were much more cautious. No matter how the Japanese team used the pass to lure them, the Chinese players just couldn't be fooled.

Of course, the Chinese team is so cautious, which naturally affected their offense.

So after the two teams scored goals in the final, it was deadlocked.

Both teams have deliberately slowed down the tempo, with "no mistakes" as the priority strategy.

Make sure you don't lose the ball again in a short time.

The game became dull, and it was not until the end of the first half that the two sides picked up the speed again.

But at this time, there was not much time left for both sides, and they failed to play any threatening offense. In this way, the two sides ended the first half with a score of : and entered the intermission.

In the locker room, Shi Wuzhen encouraged his players, "The loss of the ball is not a big problem. You have also woken up from the loss and responded correctly. I personally think that if you lose the ball, you can learn from it." Seeing things, conceding the ball is also a good thing... In the second half, we should go out or go out, just like we did before the end of the first half, don't always worry that they will take advantage of the space behind us, the Japanese team has no speed , as long as we can push their formation back enough, even if they want to use the space behind us, they may not be able to use it. At the same time, Luo Kai, you and Chen Xingyi need to retreat more to get the ball. Our formation can then be adjusted to…”

Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi, whose names were called, nodded to show that they knew.

At the same time, in the locker room of the Japanese team, the head coach Sato Koichi also encouraged his players, "You guys did a good job! Although you conceded a goal, you quickly equalized the score, which severely damaged the Chinese team. Morale. Didn’t you see that their offense was much weaker next? In the second half, as long as you are more patient than your opponents, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us...We must continue the style of play in the first half, and don’t defend yourself. Give them space on both of our sides, pass runs to find space in the attack... don't worry, the advantage is on our side, because if they are late to break our goal, the support from the home will It all turns into stress...by then, they will naturally panic..."

Having said that, he added, "In addition, your defense against Hu Lai was very successful in the first half, and you basically didn't let him get any decent opportunities. In the second half, you should continue to play like this, mark him closely, and don't let him run open to catch the ball Opportunity!"

Shan Puyang nodded vigorously, "Understood, coach, I promise not to let him have a chance to shoot in the second half!"

In the first half, his defense against Hu Lai was generally successful. On the one hand, it was due to the successful defense of the Japanese team against the two sides of the Chinese team, which made it impossible for the Chinese team to pass the football to the goal. On the other hand, it is naturally his close pressing on Hu Lai, which prevents him from taking the ball easily.

Throughout the first half, Hu Lai shot twice, one outside the frame and the other inside the frame, but was saved by Japanese goalkeeper Hiroki Ueshima.

Overall, Hu Lai's performance in the first half was relatively flat, especially against the backdrop of Luo Kai's one-stop goal.

But no one can say that Hu Lai's performance is not good, and dare to relax his defense. I didn't see the Japanese team coach Koichi Sato during the intermission, was he still telling the players to continue to press against Hu Lai like that in the second half?

If you switch to another coach, maybe there will be a little bit of slack, but for Sato Koichi, he will definitely not trip over the same stone twice-last year in the East Asian Cup, Hu Lai did the same in the first half His performance was mediocre, he didn't even have a shot, and he seemed to disappear. As a result, in the second half, he resisted Morikawa Junpei and took a half-volley. With just one shot, he kicked off the East Asian Cup champion of the Japanese Olympic team.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with Hu Lai, whether it is Sato Koichi himself or the players of the Japanese team, they have learned a lesson in blood.

They also deeply understand a truth

No matter how bad Hu Lai's performance was before that, as long as the final whistle has not sounded, the defense against Hu Lai must not be relaxed.

Otherwise, it is possible to regret it too late.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, Shi Wuyin did not make any adjustments to Hu Lai's situation in the first half. In his opinion, this is a very normal situation.

Hu Lai scored nine goals in this Asian Cup, but it does not mean that he is the kind of player who keeps firing throughout the game and always appears in close-up shots of the broadcast. Apart from the nine minutes against Qatar, he mostly kept himself hidden.

It's like an assassin, hiding in the grass, jumping out when the time is right, and hitting someone on the back of the head with a brick.

But if the timing is bad, he can really squat in the grass and wait patiently.

Based on the understanding of Hu Lai's characteristics of playing [ ] the ball, Shi Wuyin did not tell Hu Lai what to do in the second half.

That would be superfluous, and the advice others can give on his playing style is really limited.

Hu Lai himself must be very clear about this, so he didn't seem impatient at all during the halftime break because of his mediocre performance in the first half. On the contrary, he sat leisurely in his seat, with a pair of small eyes looking around in the dressing room, making people feel that he must be brewing bad water in his stomach again...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and no one changed. They just kept the lineup and tactics of the first half and continued to fight.

The overall strength of the Japanese team is stronger, but it lacks speed, especially on the two sides.

The advantage of the Chinese team is their speed, especially their ability to attack on the side. In addition, Guo Junfu in the middle was restricted by Junpei Morikawa, so when they attacked, they made a fuss on the side. Except for Chen Xing Yi and Luo Kai withdrew to break through, and the two full-backs Bai Di and Sun Gang also advanced frequently to cooperate with Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai.

Hu Lai stayed at the front and responded to the passes from both sides.

In response to the Chinese team's attack, the Japanese team shrunk in the middle and sent the Chinese team's cross from the side, but strictly guarded Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai from cutting inside and breaking through. Anyway, when they pass to the middle, they also pass the football to Hu Lai. The Japanese team only needs to withstand Hu Lai.

This is what the Japanese team did in the first half. Except for one mistake when defending Luo Kai, it was executed very well at other times, and the Chinese team did not get too many opportunities.

This stalemate lasted for ten minutes. In the fifty-fifth minute, Chen Xingyi used his speed to break through the Japanese full-back Masao Yoshihara who was defending him from the wing.

Of course, his breakthrough is actually useless, because the players of the Japanese team have long been waiting in their penalty area. Even if he breaks through Masao Yoshihara, he can't say that he can directly pose any threat to the Japanese team's goal.

At the same time, Yoshihara Masao, who was passed by, is chasing back, and soon Chen Xingyi will lose even the space in the biography.

So he didn't hesitate anymore, even though there wasn't any good chance in front of the goal, he still decisively passed the football in.

Hu Lai wanted to fight for the top in the middle, but the ball was pushed out first by the Japanese center back Yoichi Yamaura who was next to him.

In the purely physical part, Hu Lai still couldn't beat the 1.86-meter-tall Yamaura Yangichi.

But he is not saying that there is no way to exert any influence.

Under his interference, Shan Puyang didn't care about the angle and route of the clearance, he chose the safest way-directly push the football out of the bottom line.

I would rather give the Chinese team a corner kick than take the risk of doing other things.

After clearing the siege, Shanpu Yangyi looked back at Hu Lai, seeing that the latter did not have any annoyed or frustrated expression, saw him looking back, and smiled at him.

Seeing Hu Lai's smile, Shan Puyang became even more vigilant in his heart, without a trace of joy or relief from a successful defense.

This kind of feeling actually made him very uncomfortable. Let alone the sense of accomplishment in defense, he always felt like someone was staring at the back of his head, and his heart was always tight.

Reflexively, he raised his hand and touched the back of his head.

It's fine there.
