Fox in the Penalty Area

Shi Wuyin knew what Mashaninov was going to do, by strengthening the press in the midfield to stop the Chinese team's fast break, and at the same time consume the Chinese team's physical strength.

After turning his gaze away from Mashaninov, he gestured to the Chinese players on the field to move closer.

This is to let the Chinese team continue to insist on the way of playing in the first half.

Of course he knows that this kind of play that moves closer to each other and passes quickly consumes energy.

But if you want to score goals, how can you not fight hard?

Fight hard, maybe there is still a chance to score another goal before the physical exhaustion.

But if you don't fight hard and just let the game fall into the rhythm of Russia, your physical fitness will also be gradually lost. By then, it may be difficult for the Chinese team to fight hard.

So for Shi Wuyin, this is not a multiple-choice question at all.

In addition to this road, the Chinese team has no other way to go.

"Director Shi made gestures on the sidelines to signal the players of the Chinese team to gather closer and continue to launch an offensive. He was not satisfied with a one-goal lead, and he wanted to continue to attack! I have to say that the Chinese team has played so far in this World Cup. His performance is remarkable, which has a lot to do with such an excellent head coach. After leading the team to the World Cup, there was still debate on the Internet about whether Shi Wuyin is suitable to lead the team to the World Cup. Now such voices have disappeared It's..."

He Feng and Yan Kang sighed with each other.

"Yes. From a tactical point of view, it is right to let the Chinese team continue to attack. On the one hand, if the Chinese team can score another goal, the players will be more calm and the next game will be better. On the other hand On the one hand, even if you can’t score a goal, you can keep the football away from your own penalty area—if you let Russia continue to attack, the football will always turn around in the Chinese team’s half, and the chances of dangerous situations will greatly increase. I think that although we Chinese The overall strength of the team is relatively weak, and there are not many paths to choose from, but the path chosen by Director Shi is indeed the right one, but it is a bit hard - it requires all the players to run at all costs. But I believe that after playing such a road in the World Cup One game is more than their usual income from playing ten games in the Chinese Super League! So this kind of effort is worth it!"

In the positional battle, Zhang Qinghuan took the ball at the front of the penalty area in Russia, and that black and tough Ervin Botaka posted it again, making it difficult for him to have the opportunity to observe the surrounding situation.

He can only pass the football back to Xia Xiaoyu, and then cut and run by himself, while observing the positions of the players on both sides, trying to reorganize the attack.

Seeing Xia Xiaoyu receiving the ball, Hu Lai, who was originally in the penalty area, suddenly retreated and pulled out of the penalty area, making it look like he was going to catch Xia Xiaoyu's pass.

The Russian central defender Pretnev, who has been by his side, was also pulled out.

Xia Xiaoyu obviously saw the space, and he quickly passed the football directly to the space behind Hu Lai.

At the same time, Luo Kai also suddenly slanted into the middle from the ribs and ran behind Hu Lai.

However, Xia Xiaoyu's pass was a little too big, and another central defender from Russia, Kuzmin, rushed over and headed it out, destroying it.

"Oh! What a pity!"

"Xia Xiaoyu passed the ball a little too big...but it's okay, let's do it again!"

He Feng and Yan Kang hugged their heads and yelled after reality in the commentary booth, and then comforted them again.

The Chinese fans in the stands didn't boo or shout because Xia Xiaoyu passed the ball too big this time, but applauded the Chinese team's offensive cooperation collectively.

Applause rang out from the stands at Miami's Rock Stadium.

Luo Kai, who made a trip for nothing, also gave Xia Xiaoyu a thumbs up.

※※ ※

When the Chinese team threw the ball out of bounds, Zhang Qinghuan made a gesture to catch it, but suddenly stepped aside and let the football go behind him, where Xia Xiaoyu was right there!

At the same time, Zhang Qinghuan quickly turned around and ran sideways to the middle.

Seeing this, Xia Xiaoyu didn't stop the ball, but directly knocked the flying football to Brother Huan.

Before catching the ball, Zhang Qinghuan looked up and observed the distance, and found that because the current offense of the Chinese team was developing on the left side of Russia, their right side was relatively empty, and there was a gap.

Chen Xingyi was pulling on the sideline, obviously waiting for him to pass the ball.

So Zhang Qinghuan stopped the ball with the outside instep of his left foot, and then raised his left foot again, trying to pass the football there.

But under the interference of the black and hard Botaka, he didn't kick the ball, and the football didn't fly high enough. It was headed out by the forward Russian right back Vlasov.

Fortunately, Jiang Wanqing, the midfielder of the Chinese team, appeared at the football spot in time, cut off the football before Romanov could catch it, and then passed it to Chen Xingyi, who was on the sideline.

However, at this time, because the intention of the Chinese team to shift the attack direction has been seen through, the Russian team shifted to this side for overall plastic surgery, and the midfielder Nikola Lucas has already gone up to defend Chen Xingyi.

As a result, Chen Xingyi lost the opportunity to break through with the ball.

He can only choose to pass the football back.

The Chinese team turned their offense into a positional battle again.

Once it becomes a positional battle, all the opponent's defensive players are in position, and there is little room for Hu Lai to move. Without taking away the defensive players, Luo Kai and others have no chance to insert space.

Although Hu Lai worked hard to go back and forth near the penalty area, there was only so much space he could use. No matter how hard he ran, he couldn't run back to the midfield in one go-the opponent's defender was not stupid. Follow me, if you really run to the midfield, a fool will follow...

The Chinese team, who really couldn't find space, finally completed a cross by full-back Bai Di.

Luo Kai, who has a physical advantage, has already become a center forward in the positional battle. He jumped up and competed with Kuzmin for the top.

He still hit the ball!

But under the interference of Kuzmin, this header is a little weak and not accurate enough. It is already very good to be able to hit the goal frame.

The football was easily confiscated by Russian goalkeeper Arkin.

However, just as he caught the ball in the air, Hu Lai rushed to him, startled him, quickly bent his arms and closed his hands, and brought the football back to his chest.

It seemed as if he was afraid that the football would fly out of his arms again...

"Hu Lai rushed to the goal at the first time and seemed to be preparing to make a follow-up shot! It's a pity that Alkin didn't let go of the ball!"

Hu Lai, who rushed to Alkin, did not retreat, but walked aside.

This made Alkin a little concerned. He hugged the football tightly and turned his head to look at Hu Lai vigilantly.

When Hu Lai saw the other party staring at him like this, he laughed and said in Russian: "It's okay, you are busy with your work, leave me alone."

As he spoke, he was still standing not far away, with no intention of leaving.

Alkin originally wanted to wait for Hu Lai to leave before kicking off, but he saw that Hu Lai seemed to be staying in the penalty area, and he had no intention of leaving at all. He also thought that the Chinese team is leading now, so in fact, they wish that time would be wasted like this.

So he ignored Hu Lai, kicked off the ball directly and passed it to Romanov in front.

In the front court, Romanov jumped high and competed with Wang Guangwei for the header.

The first point was still pushed by Romanov, but his striker partner Vladimir Savichev failed to control the ball under the defense of Yao Huasheng and Jiang Wanqing.

The football was intercepted by the Chinese full-back Jiao Ruiqi who was quickly approaching.

"In today's match for the header near the midfield, the first point was basically taken away by Romanov, but the Chinese team did a good job in controlling the second point. The main reason for allowing Russia to score! Guidance Shi’s choice of defensive tactics is in place..."

Shi Wuyin looked down at his watch. The game had been played for 63 minutes, and there were almost 30 minutes left.

In the recent short-term competition, although the Chinese team performed well, he was not at ease.

Because no goals were scored.

The momentum seemed fierce, and the Chinese fans in the stands cheered wave after wave.

The Chinese team seems to be doing well.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly.

He knows that football games are like changing weather, you never know what will happen in the next second. Now the sky is clear, maybe there will be a strong wind, and then a torrential rain will fall from the sky, drenching you who are enjoying the scenery leisurely, how embarrassing and embarrassing it is.

As long as the referee does not blow the whistle to end the game, he will always be tense and dare not relax.

The Chinese team's offense on the field was not successful, and they made mistakes in continuous passing, allowing the opponent to steal the ball.

Russia quickly launched a counterattack, and the players of the Chinese team returned to defense one after another!

※※ ※

Russia's offensive routine is very simple.

A direct long pass from the backcourt to find Ivan Romanov. Or push up quickly from the wing, and then find Ivan Romanov with a wide cross.

Pinnacle Russia has two wingers with fast and accurate crosses. With such a simple and rough style of play, they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup and the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Today, their speed on the wing has decreased, and the quality of their crosses is not as good as before. But this time, full-back Vlasov still sent a high-quality cross from the wing!

The football went straight to the goal of the Chinese team!

Wang Guangwei, who retreated to the door, looked up and saw the football flying towards him. He took a deep breath and mustered all his strength to jump up!

Then he was hit hard...

It felt like being hit head-on by a fast-moving heavy-duty truck!

When he was about to lose his balance, he waved his hand in the air, grabbing at that figure.

He grabbed the opponent's jersey!

Then he finally lost all balance and fell to the ground.

He clutched his jersey tightly and didn't let go.

Yao Huasheng, who was right behind them, witnessed this scene at close range - Ivan Romanov's jersey in the air was pulled out of the triangle by Wang Guangwei, and then he saw the jersey... was torn open!

Under the joint action of Wang Guangwei and Romanov, this Russian No. 9 jersey was directly torn to pieces!

Romanov, who had lost his restraint, raised his belly in the air, and a giant bear shook his head!

He hits the football!

Boom!

This is the first time Yao Huasheng has heard a headed ball that can make a blast sound like a long shot...

Lin Zhiyuan, who was standing on the goal line, swung his arm almost reflexively, and he hit the football!

But the football didn't hit the goal by him. Instead, it went up in a broken line and hit the net!

The ball went in!

In the 65th minute of the game, the Chinese team's goal was declared to be lost!

After landing, Ivan Romanov did not run wildly to celebrate, but stood in front of the Chinese team's gate, waved his fists, and roared to the sky!

It seems that a giant bear really made a heart-pounding roar!

Wang Guangwei, who fell to the ground, looked up at the roaring giant bear blankly, holding a piece of cloth in his hand - that was the jersey he tore off from the giant bear...

On Romanov's exposed waist, it seemed that every muscle line contained energy like a nuclear bomb.

And this energy has just been fully released in front of the Chinese team's goal!

"Ivan the Terrible", come!
