"We are only one goal behind, and there is still a lot of time to equalize, everyone, don't give up!" Fu Bo encouraged everyone.

But the atmosphere in the locker room was still a bit depressing. Fu Bo realized that something was wrong, so he called Zheng Zhi out.

Zheng Zhi explained what happened just now in a few words. After Fu Bo found out, he immediately walked back to the locker room with a livid face.

"I told you that wearing this team uniform represents the honor of the country, and everyone's actions on the field represent China! We are a team, and everyone is responsible for conceding goals, including Me! Now that the team is behind, I don’t want anyone to shirk responsibility, I hope you can stand up bravely and take up this responsibility!”

Fu Bo's cold eyes swept over every player's face. The players who had lowered their heads were shocked by Fu Bo's words, and raised their heads to meet Fu Bo's gaze.

"I hope that your performance on the court can be worthy of this jersey and the expectations of the people of the whole country!"

Fu Bo's words were forceful and resounding, and struck deeply in the hearts of every player. They who had lost their fighting spirit due to conceded goals and conflicts, now they all held their heads high, and everyone was eager to try. , want to fight immediately.

Seeing the changes in everyone's demeanor, Fu Bo nodded with satisfaction, and his tone softened a little: "I hope you can fight your opponents with all your strength in the second half, and our coaching staff has also decided to make adjustments."

Having said that, he looked at Wu Xi and said slowly, "Wu Xi, Xia Ze will replace you in the second half, playing the midfielder position."

Hearing what Fu Bo said, Wu Xi felt a little disappointed, but it didn't show on his face. He accepted the substitution and adjustment calmly.

"Xia Ze will play in the attacking midfielder position in the second half, and the midfielder will give him the ball to coordinate the offense. Our coaching staff trusts him, and I hope everyone can trust their teammates!"

"The second half of the game is about to start. The Chinese team gave the Uzbekistan team a penalty kick at the end of the first half. Sebastian scored the penalty and the Chinese team fell behind 0-1. If we lose this game again If so, we will be out early." Duan Xuan's helpless and sad voice appeared along with the TV screen.

"So Lippi didn't hesitate at all, and made a substitution at the beginning of the second half. Xia Ze, who hadn't played before, stood on the sidelines, ready to come on as a substitute. He replaced Huang Bowen."

"If nothing unexpected happens,

Xia Ze will appear in the midfielder position. He is also the core of the midfield determined by Lippi's coaching staff before the start of the Asian Cup. However, he suddenly caught a cold before the first round of the group match and missed the first A group match, and it should have just resumed now. "

"Xia Ze has played very well in the Portuguese Super League. Last season, he was the winner of the Best Young Player Award in the Portuguese Super League. This is the first personal honor a Chinese player has won overseas."

"In the winter transfer window, he also joined the Premier League powerhouse Everton for 5 million euros. After the Asian Cup, he will make his debut in the Premier League. His attacking and organizing ability in the front midfielder will bring the Chinese team's frontcourt. Let's be active, let's hope that the Chinese team can equalize the score and even reverse the game in the second half."

Duan Xuan introduced Xia Ze's detailed information to the audience after Xia Ze's appearance, although most fans in front of the TV are very familiar with Xia Ze.

It can also be seen that Duan Xuan and even fans across the country have high expectations for Xia Ze, hoping that he can lead the rise of Chinese football.

Xia Ze stood on the sidelines, and his teammates had already arrived on the field. The fourth official next to him held up the sign for substitutions. Xia Ze, No. 8, replaced Wu Xi, No. 15.

After this routine substitution, Xia Ze stepped on the turf with his right foot, and flicked his right hand on the turf just like when he came off the bench in the past. His first Asian Cup game started here.

"Xia Ze came off the bench. You can see that he has a right hand stroking the turf before going on the field. Many professional players have a habit before going on the field. They believe that this can bring them luck. Like Little Pea El of Manchester United Nandez kneels down and prays every time before starting, Xia Ze’s action is at least in line with international standards.”

Duan Xuan said half-jokingly. He didn't know why, but after seeing Xia Ze playing, he felt much more relieved, even though Xia Ze hadn't proved himself in the national team competition yet.

The second half of the game started, and during the intermission, the players of the national football team already knew that Xia Ze was going to come off the bench.

The play style with Xia Ze as the core of the midfield has already been practiced at the beginning of this training camp. The players still have considerable confidence in Xia Ze's strength.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Xia Ze immediately integrated into the team's system, no matter whether he passed the ball or made a breakthrough, he was able to handle it with ease, completely revitalizing the Chinese team's midfield.

The head coach of the Uzbekistan team stood nervously on the bench, constantly directing his players to defend.

In the first half, most of the Chinese team made individual breakthroughs from the two sides. Although Ai Huang and Wu Lei have strong personal abilities, they also created several threatening attacks by virtue of their breakthroughs.

But it was a one-man battle after all, and the Uzbekistan team's defensive system was not affected.

After Xia Ze played, through his organization and scheduling in the midfield, the Chinese team's offense no longer relied on individual breakthroughs, but an overall advancement, which crushed the defense of the Uzbekistan team, and the defense line was even in danger of breaking.

That's why the head coach of the Uzbekistan team was so nervous to direct the players to reorganize the defense. He has already seen the threat of Xia Ze, and he is still glad that Xia Ze did not start in the first half, otherwise the team would not be able to take a 1-goal lead. Enter the locker room.

Nevertheless, he is still worried that the team will not be able to defend against the impact of the Chinese team.

On the other side, after Lippi came out in the second half, he has been standing on the sidelines, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, watching the game calmly.

Xia Ze's performance was even better than he had imagined. He had a strong view of the overall situation, passed the ball cleanly, and completely revitalized the midfield.

In the 52nd minute, after a few minutes of sorting out, Xia Ze found that the midfield was running very smoothly. He received a pass from Zheng Zhi at the front of the center circle, and the opponent's midfield immediately forced him up.

He has encountered this kind of press many times in the Portuguese Super League. With just an emergency stop and change of direction, Xia Ze left his opponent and completed the turn.

And he also quickly raised his head to observe the situation on the field. Ai Huang on the right has opened up the space, and Wu Lei on the left is also rushing forward at this time. Gao Bo is carrying the opponent's defender on his back, waiting to respond at any time Xia Ze's pass. c
