Fox in the Penalty Area

"Chen Xingyi! Run!"

After Zhang Qinghuan yelled on the field, Chen Xingyi suddenly advanced, but he was still followed by Algerian defenders. Seeing this, Zhang Qinghuan didn't pass the football to him, but passed it to the space he pulled out.

Hou Lai came in diagonally and competed for the football with Algerian centre-back Zakaria Mousavi.

Under Mousavi's close defense, he was completely unable to shoot, and at the same time lost his balance in the confrontation and slipped to the ground.

However, the experience brought by playing football in Europe made Hu Lai reach for the football even if he fell to the ground, and hooked the football back before Mousavi.

Tenacious, he did not give up this attack. Instead, he put his hands on the ground, turned his body on the turf in the penalty area, and swept the football up with his feet to clear another Algerian defensive player.

The football hit the opponent's calf and flew out of the baseline.

Even if there is no way to complete the shot, it is good to get a corner kick!

"Hu Lai won a corner kick for the Chinese team!" He Feng, who was on the commentary seat, said loudly amidst huge cheers.

Nearly two-thirds of the Mercedes stadium in Atlanta for this game were Chinese fans, and the remaining third were made up of local American fans and Algerian fans.

In terms of momentum, Chinese fans have the upper hand.

From the beginning of the game, the Chinese fans had never heard the various shouts, coupled with the Chinese slogans and flags that can be seen everywhere in the stands... It makes people think that this is the home court of the Chinese team.

Before the game, some media said that Chinese people from all over the United States had gathered in Atlanta. This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to show the enthusiasm of Chinese and overseas Chinese.

This is the first time that the Chinese men's football team has appeared in the World Cup. It is not only a carnival for Chinese domestic fans, but also a grand festival for those Chinese and overseas Chinese scattered all over the world.

Therefore, there are many people cheering for the Chinese team in the stands of the Mercedes Stadium, but they did not come all the way from China.

After the opening, the performance of the Chinese team did not let them down.

Before the game, some people worried that the players of the Chinese team would be unable to let go of their hands and feet during the game because of nervousness.

But in fact, the performance of the Chinese team is not bad.

At least I didn't see any obvious stage fright.

※※ ※

In front of the coaching bench, Shi Wuyin suddenly said to assistant coaches Li Zhifei and Hong Renjie, "I think we made a mistake!"

"What?" Li Zhifei asked.

"I couldn't sleep yesterday, of course it was because of nervousness, but it could also be because of excitement! Nervousness is fear, and excitement is anticipation!"

Hong Renjie nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Judging from the ten minutes since the start of the game, if you say that the Chinese players are not nervous at all, then of course they are not. But it's not like they are so nervous that they can't move their legs...

They played relatively normal.

Considering that this is the first World Cup for the Chinese team, it is already a remarkable performance to be able to play normally.

※※ ※

"This is the first corner kick of the game for the Chinese team.

Zhang Qinghuan kicked it...he kicked the football forward! Yao Huasheng missed it, and the football was cleared with a header! Algeria took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack... Be careful! "

"Jiang Wanqing! Jiang Wanqing appeared at the most critical place and destroyed the opponent's counterattack in time!"

Kicking the football out of the sideline before the opponent's players, Jiang Wanqing, who completed the clearance and destruction, did not make any special movements when he appeared on the broadcast screen. He didn't even clap his hands or shout twice. position.

It is completely impossible to tell that this is the captain of the Shanhai Sailors, a veteran team that has won the Chinese Super League championship.

Although he once left the national team because of Shi Wuyin's appointment. But I have to say that Jiang Wanqing, who has returned to the national team, is still very calm and trustworthy.

For the ball just now, when the two central defenders of the Chinese team went up to prepare for a corner kick attack, he dragged at the end and acted as a temporary central defender.

And at the critical moment of Algeria's counterattack, it accurately judged the opponent's counterattack intention, started it in advance, and finally kicked the football out of the border in front of Algeria's right forward Sofian Hadgaoy.

Although it is just a rescue, there is no very exciting technical component in it.

But the role of a good defensive player is reflected here, appearing in a key position at a critical moment, and then making a key defense-even if it is just a big-footed clearance, it is also a key defense.

Gao Ruimin, another defensive midfielder who went up to participate in the corner kick attack and then returned to the defense, expressed his gratitude to Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Wanqing waved his hand with a calm expression.

The two of them are midfielder partners, and they are originally one. After Gao Ruimin went up, it was also his duty to guard the rear.

No need to be thanked.

※※ ※

Although the performance of the Chinese team in the opening 20 minutes was not bad, their opponent Algeria also performed very calmly.

If the Chinese team's opening performance did not look like it was the first time they entered the World Cup, so did Algeria.

Nabil Erde, wearing the No. 10 jersey, was very active. He frequently raised his hand to ask for it, and used his excellent skills to threaten the goal of the Chinese team.

Although the Chinese team has made defensive arrangements against him, Erde's personal ability is indeed very strong.

In Ligue 1, Ode is not considered a top striker, but it is enough to deal with the defenders of the Chinese team.

In the 21st minute, Algeria launched a quick attack in the frontcourt.

After Ode got the ball on the left rib, he made a gesture to break through the bottom, tricked the Chinese team's right back Bai Di to turn around and retreat, and then turned the football to the middle, cutting inside!

Wang Guangwei, who was waiting in the middle, quickly stepped up and got stuck inside him to prevent him from entering the penalty area.

At the same time, Gao Ruimin also came over to defend against Wang Guangwei.

All their attention was on Ed. Unexpectedly, the Ligue 1 striker suddenly tapped his heel in the process of dribbling laterally!

In this way, the football was passed to another Algerian striker Abdelauf Devno in the penalty area!

"Erd...pass the ball! Devno! Be careful!" He Feng exclaimed.

Because Wang Guangwei came up to guard against Erde, Devno, who was interspersed with him, was in an unguarded situation!

After receiving the ball, Devno made some adjustments and shot!

At this very close opportunity, Bai Di, who had been shaken away by Erde before, came back from the side, and blocked it with a flying shovel!

The football bounced off his feet!

But neither the fans of the Chinese team at the scene nor the Chinese audience in front of the TV had time to let out a sigh of relief for the escape of the Chinese team, and saw the football bounce back to Erde's feet!

After passing the ball, Erde took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's defensive attention being taken away by his teammate Devno, and went around into the penalty area.

The football blocked by Bai Di bounced right in front of him!

It was too late for Yao Huasheng to post it...

Erde adjusted his pace in the face of the rolling football, and shot directly with his left foot!

With a very comfortable kick, the football flew from Wang Guangwei's side to the goal!

Although Lin Zhiyuan made a saving action, facing such a close shot, his action was still a little slow...

When he was in the air, the football flew into the goal behind him!

"Ah! Ah!!" He Feng and Yan Kang exclaimed in unison, and then sighed heavily at the same time.

Still dropped the ball...

"The Chinese team's defense has actually been very good. In fact, Bai Di was able to block Devno's shot, which was really unexpected. It's just..." Yan Kang couldn't continue.

He Feng continued: "It's just that Erde is too strong, and the running position that went around the penalty area after hitting the ball with his heel is too thief... and the football also happened to be played on his side, making him very comfortable Kick and shoot, don't even have to adjust..."

Yan Kang has quickly adjusted his mood, and then said: "But it doesn't matter. Apart from this conceded goal, the Chinese team played very well. Don't be affected by this conceded goal. I believe that in the plan of Director Shi, it must be Taking into account the situation of losing the ball...so don't panic, recover from the lost emotions after losing the ball as soon as possible!"

Speaking of the back, his voice was already very loud, as if he was shouting loudly.

Because he knows how much psychological impact it will bring to the players after losing the ball.

Before losing the ball, I played normally, but when I lose the ball, I don’t know how to play, make frequent mistakes, and my mind is confused. If I can’t control it, it’s normal to lose another goal in a short time.

This is not a common problem in Chinese football, but a crisis that almost all teams in the world will encounter.

※※ ※

"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing the lost Chinese players on the TV screen, Xie Lan hurriedly clapped her hands and said loudly, as if she was comforting her players on the coach's bench.

Hearing this, Li Qingqing couldn't help casting her gaze at her.

The aunt who was so nervous before the game that her body was shaking constantly, now seems to believe that her consolation can really soothe the hearts of the Chinese players...

Hu Lai's mother is really a kind person!

※※ ※

"Damn!" In the box, Yan Yan and his partners swear in disappointment.

Of course they know that with the strength of the Chinese team, it is normal to concede the ball. Knowing is knowing.

When the goal did happen, it was still difficult for them to accept emotionally.

Before the game, everyone was somewhat lucky, hoping that the Chinese team could beat Algeria, maybe they could really hit the group stage.

But now conceding a goal means that it will be more difficult for the Chinese team to beat Algeria than they expected.

After scolding "Damn", they continued to watch the game in the original posture, and did not discuss or speak any more.

They are different from those who just vent their anger on Chinese football, they will not erase all the efforts of the Chinese team just because of a single goal, saying such nonsense as "what's the point of playing like this? Just disband".

※※ ※

After losing the ball, the Chinese team did experience a period of confusion and tension, after all, no one wants to lose the ball. After losing the ball, the players will inevitably bear a heavy burden, the psychological burden will increase, and the thinking will not be unified.

Hence the confusion.

During this period of time, the Chinese team seemed very impatient in their offense. They chose to play more through balls, wanting to send the football behind the opponent's defense line in one step, but the result of their eagerness for success was that the success rate was greatly reduced.

The defense looked very embarrassed again, and the fans watching were very anxious, for fear that Algeria would score another goal in the offense.

Fortunately, after coach Shi Wuyin's adjustments, they finally withstood Algeria's continuous offensive.

And in the 30th minute, he used a counterattack to threaten Algeria's goal.

At that time, when Chen Xingyi received a forward pass from Qu Lu on the wing, he slipped the football between the legs of the Algerian player who was defending him, and at the same time turned around and ran forward. This caught the defender off guard.

It's a pity that Hou Lai, under the interference of Mousavi's close defense, raised the football.

"It's a pity!" He Feng sighed reflexively, and then said: "However, under the close defense of Mousavi, who is 1.87 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms, it is enough to show that How good is Hu Lai's judgment on where the football will fall. It's a pity that the power gap between him and Mousavi is still a bit obvious..."

"Yes, Hu Lai is not the kind of striker who confronts the opponent's central defender head-on. He is better at finding space to seize opportunities..." Yan Kang echoed, afraid that the fans in front of the TV would blame Hu Lai.

※※ ※

"Why is that person so annoying!" Xie Lan pointed at Mousavi and said angrily. "I didn't do anything throughout the game, just follow my son!"

"The head coach of Algeria must have specially arranged for Mousavi to defend Hou Lai before the game." Li Ziqiang explained to his sister-in-law. "As the Premier League Golden Boot last season, Hu Lai will definitely be defended by the toughest opponents in the World Cup."

Hu Lixin also nodded in agreement with Li Ziqiang's statement: "Yes. Just as the Chinese team obviously encircled and suppressed Erde, Algeria is also encircling and suppressing Hu Lai."

Xie Lan turned his head and glanced at the two men who were singing together, but said nothing.

"But it's okay..." Li Qingqing said softly beside her, "Although Hu Lai is not the kind of forward who attacks from the front, he is the kind of forward who makes the opponent dare not relax for a second. Few defenders can play against him." Make no mistakes under continuous torture.”

After finishing speaking, facing Xie Lan's gaze, she smiled slightly to comfort her.

The Algeria coach happened to appear on the broadcast, a bald middle-aged man, Frenchman Jimmy Durand.

Although his team successfully defended against the attack, he was still dissatisfied with the team's defensive performance and was waving his arms and yelling.

He should be dissatisfied with his player's failure to guard against Chen Xingyi's turn and breakthrough, which is why Hu Lai got the chance to shoot.
