Fox in the Penalty Area

When the Russian team's right back Vlasov passed the football to the goal, He Feng and Yan Kang in the commentary exclaimed: "The Russian team's cross is coming again!"

"be careful!"

Amidst their exclamations, the Chinese fans in front of the TV saw Ivan Romanov speeding up and jumping straight towards the goal!

Before that, he didn't run out of the arc and tried to bypass the Chinese team's defenders. He just rushed to the place where the football fell and Wang Guangwei was at the same time.

This is a completely different way of grabbing points in front of Hu Lai.

Hou Lai will always try to get around the space that the defender does not notice, or grab the position in front of the defender.

And Romanov doesn't need to get stuck in the position, and he doesn't need to look for gaps. He just needs to find the landing point and jump to the landing point.

Wang Guangwei took off and was knocked away by Romanov in the air without any suspense.

Even if he pulled the latter's jersey, he couldn't stop the opponent.

With a very domineering posture, the northern giant bear completed the head-shaking attack in the air.

This scene really left a very shocking impression on countless Chinese fans.

Those fans who pay attention to European football all the year round may be okay. After all, Romanov has been famous for a long time, and he is also a top star in European football.

But those spectators who usually don’t watch football at all, and only watch football matches because the Chinese team entered the World Cup, were greatly shocked—as if Romanov’s collision did not knock Wang Guangwei down, but hit them Same.

Some spectators even leaned back like a conditioned reflex and leaned back on the back of the chair.

It was hard for them to imagine how Wang Guangwei would feel when he was bumped head-on by Romanov...

"Oh - the Chinese team still conceded the ball... this ball, this ball..." He Feng hesitated to speak.

Yan Kang helped him and said: "This ball is really unstoppable! In fact, what we are most afraid of is this kind of ball. Before, the Chinese team could barely withstand it through various methods. But this time...Obviously, after a long time Russia, which was lagging behind, was also desperate. Romanov was like a giant striding forward. After sprinting, he jumped high. Did everything I could, including tearing up Romanov's jersey...but no way,

The absolute gap in physical strength is not so easy to make up..."

In front of the TV, Wang Guangwei's mother seemed to be asking her husband, and also seemed to be talking to herself: "This... this must hurt?"

Her husband, Wang Guangwei's father, collapsed on the sofa and did not answer her.

※※ ※

After scoring the goal, Romanov didn't go anywhere, just stood there, shaking his fist towards the goal of the Chinese team and roaring loudly.

Other Russian players also rushed up to hug him, and they hugged in front of the Chinese team's goal to celebrate the goal.

Yao Huasheng pulled up Wang Guangwei who was lying on the ground to prevent him from being stepped on by those excited Russian players.

Wang Guangwei, who was pulled up, was still holding the fragments of the jersey he tore from Romanov.

He looked down, and then said to Yao Huasheng, "I'm sorry, Team Yao..."

Yao Huasheng patted him hard on the back of the head: "What are you thinking! What is there to apologize for in this situation? You guarded him for the first sixty-five minutes of this game, but you didn't guard him this time. What's the matter?" Sorry?"

Wang Guangwei who had been "taught" did not speak again, neither thanked the captain for his understanding, nor expressed his apology.

He just looked at the Russian players who were celebrating in front of his house, and easily found that burly figure from the crowd, even among a group of burly men, he was the biggest one.

He was celebrating a goal when his team-mates found him with his jersey torn.

He first looked down at his exposed body, then turned to look at Wang Guangwei.

He met Wang Guangwei who was looking at him, and noticed the piece of cloth in Wang Guangwei's hand...

So he raised his eyebrows at Wang Guangwei and grinned.

It seemed to be saying "Boy, you tore all my clothes and didn't stop me".

Seeing this scene, a thought suddenly rose in Wang Guangwei's mind:

Wang Guangwei, your game...starts now.

Under the watchful eyes of the other party, he threw the rag in his hand out of the court.

※※ ※

"Damn!" Li Zhifei couldn't help cursing when he saw the ball was lost.

Although he knew that the players on the field could not be blamed for the ball, they were able to persist until now before conceding the ball, which is considered a very good performance.

He just regrets the conceded goal.

The one-goal lead is gone, and the "fantasy" of winning the game is also shattered.

The Chinese team didn't score a goal just now when the momentum was good. If you want to score a goal from now on, I'm afraid it will be difficult...

Shi Wuyin did not vent his disappointment, but grabbed Li Zhifei: "Call Mao Junzheng."

Li Zhifei nodded, turned and ran to the bench.

Behind him, the head coach of the Chinese team looked at the court with a solemn expression.

No time to complain, no time to regret, regret.

To look ahead.

There are nearly 30 minutes left in the game, and we have to fight until the last moment...

Even if you want to lose, it must not be a big crash or a big defeat!

"Shi Guidance."

Just as Shi Wuzhen was deep in thought, he heard a call from the side. Looking back, Mao Junzheng and Li Zhifei were already standing beside him.

He nodded, and then said to Mao Junzheng: "Your task after playing is very simple, defend and compete for high balls."

"Okay." Mao Junzheng nodded.

He is about to usher in the first World Cup game of his career, but he is not happy right now.

Because he knew he was playing under pressure.

Going up against Romanov was no fun.

Look at the jerseys of Wang Guangwei and Yao Huasheng... basically there is no clean spot. All are traces left by falling in the confrontation with the opponent.

That is the evidence that they fought like hell.

And now, he, who has always been a reserve team, will also be pushed up to reinforce them.

It can be seen how difficult this battle is.

What is there to be happy about playing such a tough game?

After a brief explanation, Shi Wuyin patted him on the shoulder and sent him to the fourth official.

"The Chinese team is about to make a substitution. Central defender Mao Jun is about to play. Who will he replace? Will he replace Wang Guangwei?"

"Isn't it? Although he conceded a goal, Wang Guangwei's performance in this game is still very good. If he is replaced because of a conceded goal... then it will not be possible."

The two commentators were analyzing, and Wang Guangwei's mother muttered: "It's better to replace it, so as not to be really hurt..."

The husband next to her glanced at her with some impatience in his eyes, but he didn't say a word. Just continue to turn his head and frown to watch the game.

※※ ※

Soon the game entered a dead ball state, and the fourth official held up the sign for a substitution.

The Chinese team made a substitution, with Mao Jun on the 4th going up and Chen Xingyi on the 11th going off.

Chen Xingyi looked up and saw his number on the sign in the distance, then lowered his head and wanted to run off the field.

But Hu Lai yelled at him from a distance: "Don't run, little Xingxing! Just walk, walk slowly! The slower the better!"

Now that Russia has equalized the score, the counterattack momentum is very strong. Hu Lai hopes that Chen Xingyi will delay the game time and interrupt Russia's offensive momentum.

Sure enough, Chen Xingyi changed to walk, but his skin was not as thick as Hu Lai's, and it wasn't really that the slower the better, he just walked down the court with a normal pace and handed over high-fives to Mao Junzheng.

With this substitution, the Chinese team's formation and player positions on the field have also changed.

Luo Kai moved closer to the center from the right, and played double forwards with Hu Lai.

Zhang Qinghuan retreated slightly from the position of the front midfielder, basically in line with the two midfielders Xia Xiaoyu and Jiang Wanqing.

The Chinese team changed from 4213 at the start to 532.

"Director Shi made this substitution... because he intends to focus on defense."

"But it's hard to say. When defending, it's 532. Two full-backs intercept from the side. There are three central defenders in the penalty area who can head the ball. When it is necessary to attack, the two full-backs can also play on the side. The avant-garde, the formation becomes 352, which is also aggressive. It should not be blindly defending..."

※※ ※

Perhaps Shi Wuyin did have such an idea that the 532 formation can be used to attack and retreat.

But when the game resumed, whether it was the commentators in the commentary booth or the Chinese audience in front of the TV, they all found that the Chinese team basically had no chance to attack.

After the equalizer, the morale of the Russian team was boosted, as if the whole team had been beaten with chicken blood, launching a fierce and continuous offensive like the Chinese team's goal.

Their offensive routines are very simple and rough. They don't need to pass the organization back and forth through the midfield. They just need to kick the ball high and pass it into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

Therefore, the offensive rhythm is very fast, and the Chinese team can be suppressed at the lowest cost.

During this period of time, the Chinese team could only shrink back in their own half of the defense, trying every means to prevent Russia's attack.

In order to deal with Russia's side pass, Lin Zhiyuan also expanded his defensive range, frequently attacked from the goal, and used his height and long arms to pick high balls.

This can relieve some of Wang Guangwei's pressure.

But not all situations are suitable for him to come out to pick up the biography.

Russia, for example, quickly realized this and made changes accordingly - they passed the ball slightly away from the goal.

Anyway, with Romanov's header ability, even if the football is passed to the penalty spot, he can directly head the ball there.

And Lin Zhiyuan couldn't go so far forward to intercept the cross. After all, it would be easier to let go if he attacked there, or he would not get the ball at all.

※※ ※

"Again!"

Accompanied by commentator He Feng's exclamation, the Chinese fans in the stands also booed loudly.

The football was once again passed high to the goal of the Chinese team.

Players from both sides were entangled in the penalty area. Romanov was followed by two people, one was Mao Junzheng who had just been on the field for a while, and the other was Wang Guangwei.

Mao Jun made some movements in his forehand, tugging and tugging, but he didn't dare to keep tugging, he was afraid of being sentenced to a penalty...

Wang Guangwei was responsible for direct confrontation with Romanov.

The three of them jumped at the same time. Mao Junzheng almost put all his weight on Romanov's body from behind, while Wang Guangwei was stuck on the inside, bumping into Romanov while shaking his head for the top.

Under the joint defense of the two, Romanov raised the football.

The football flew off the baseline.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Romanov was a little dissatisfied. He turned around and complained to the referee that Mao Junzheng made a foul behind him.

The referee ignored his complaint.

The physical contact in the penalty area is normal. Did Mao Junzheng make a foul? He could see clearly, and he used Romanov to teach himself to play the game?

※※ ※

Russian striker Vladimir Savichev took the ball on the left side and retreated to defend the third zone. Rokai, who was almost a full-back at this time, stepped forward to defend the interception, but kicked the opponent down. .

This time the referee blew his whistle and called Rokai for a foul. He not only gave him a yellow card, but also gave Russia a free kick on the wing.

This kind of free kick is basically equivalent to a corner kick with a shorter distance.

It is very dangerous for the Chinese team.

Hu Lai went up alone to act as a human wall, and the other Chinese players basically retreated to their penalty area to participate in the defense.

"Push it out! Push it out!" Lin Zhiyuan roared loudly in front of the goal, reminding everyone to push the Russian players away from the goal.

Wang Guangwei was standing beside Romanov, pulling Romanov's jersey with his hand.

The other party glanced at him: "Why? Still want to tear one of my jerseys?"

Wang Guangwei couldn't understand what he said, and was not interested in what he said, so he didn't let go of his hand.

He didn't let go of his jersey until the football flew over and he and Romanov took off at the same time.

Romanov bumped Wang Guangwei away with his shoulder and hit the ball!

He threw the football towards the goal!

Lin Zhiyuan soared into the air, and punched the football flying backwards with one fist!

"Oh—so dangerous! Lin Zhiyuan made a wonderful save!"

The Russian player wanted to take a corner kick, but he heard the referee's rapid whistle. Looking back, he saw that the referee was running to where Romanov was.

Their captain stood there with his hands outstretched, and a Chinese team player was lying at his feet.

※※ ※

"The Russian team was sentenced to an offensive foul... Wang Guangwei seems to be injured!"

The TV broadcast cut a close-up shot to Wang Guangwei on the ground, and then quickly cut away.

There was blood running down the corner of Wang Guangwei's eyebrows, staining half of his face.

Although this scene only passed briefly in the TV broadcast, Wang Guangwei's mother still saw it. She exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hands.

Wang Guangwei's father's face was not very good-looking either.

Then the TV began to replay the summit fight between Wang Guangwei and Romanov just now, using multi-angle slow motion to show everyone why Romanov made a foul—he stretched out his hand to push Wang Guangwei away during the summit contest, just in time. It was the pusher who caused the referee to call him a foul.

As for the movement that caused Wang Guangwei's injury and bleeding—shoulder touching Wang Guangwei's eyebrows—it was not a problem. It was Wang Guangwei rubbing his head when he was fighting for the top, and it was not a foul action based on Romanov's subjective will.

"it is good!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Guangwei's father suddenly patted the armrest of the leather sofa hard and let out a cry.

His wife looked at him in surprise: "What's good?"

He explained: "When did you see Romanov and Guangwei fighting for the top? This time he actually had to push Guangwei away to get the ball. What does it mean? It means that there is nothing too good about him taking Guangwei There is a way!"

The wife felt that her husband had something in his head: "My son is injured, you are still thinking about this..."

Wang Guangwei's father glared at his wife: "Isn't it normal to be injured in a football match? Besides, it's just that the forehead was scratched and bled a little. What's the fuss? He just returned home with a metatarsal fracture... This is the World Cup! His opponent is a top player, so how can he not pay a price?! If he can defend Romanov, what's the point of bleeding?!"

The wife looked at this man who rarely spoke so forcefully in front of her, but finally said nothing.

On the contrary, after Wang Guangwei's father finished speaking, he suddenly woke up and realized that he seemed to have a bad attitude towards his wife... But isn't it too embarrassing to turn around and admit cowardice at this time? How could a man like me do such a thing?

So he glanced at his wife secretly, seeing that she didn't say anything, just looked at the TV screen, pretended nothing happened, and continued to watch the game.

※※ ※

Watching the team doctor run to the field, Shi Wuyin said to Li Zhifei: "Lao Li, prepare to make a substitution."

"Want to replace Wang Guangwei? He should be fine, although he looks scary..."

"No, change to Zhou Zijing."

"Zhou Zijing? Who to replace?" Li Zhifei was stunned for a moment.

"For Hu Lai." Shi Wuyin said without looking back.

Li Zhifei glanced at Shi Wuyin before turning around and going to the bench.

Soon Zhou Zijing was fully dressed and stood beside Shi Wuyin.

"You go up quickly, act as a central defender when defending, use your physical advantage to fight for the header. When attacking, go forward quickly, fight for the top in the front field, hold the football..."

"No problem, guide Shi." Zhou Zijing didn't ask himself who he wanted to replace this time, and agreed very quickly.

He also saw the current dangerous situation of the Chinese team.

So he has no objection to the arrangement of letting him go up to help defend.

※※ ※

When the team doctor helped Wang Guangwei off the field, the Chinese team also quickly completed the substitution.

Zhou Zijing came on and replaced Hu Lai.

"It's normal." Li Ziqiang seemed to be afraid that Xie Lan would have any opinions, so he explained. "After conceding the ball, the Chinese team basically stopped attacking and defended with all their strength. And Hu Lai basically couldn't help the team defensively, especially in the fight for the top in front of the goal. So he was replaced. Let Zhou Zijing, who is physically stronger, go up to help defend. Shi Wuyin should have this idea..."

After all, Hu Lai's dismissal means that Xie Lan's desire to wait for his son to score a goal has been completely defeated.

But unexpectedly, Xie Lan did not complain, but nodded: "Yes."

This caused her husband, Hu Lixin, to look at his wife twice.

I didn't expect her to be so reasonable when it comes to her son...

As if feeling her husband's gaze, she looked at Hu Lixin: "Why? The whole team paid so much to withstand Russia's attack. Wang Guangwei was hit on the head, and I complained about not giving my son a chance to score? I Are you that unreasonable?"

Hu Lixin quickly withdrew his gaze and continued watching the game without saying a word.

In the 78th minute of the game, the score was still 1:1.
