After seeing that the pass that relied on the position to attack could not break the defense of the Chinese national junior team, the Mexican team also changed its strategy slightly, that is, using the width of the court to strengthen the scheduling of the left and right sides.

This approach still has a certain effect, Torres on the left side of the play their strong defensive ability, after the advantage of strong assist ability, caused a great threat to the right side of the national junior team, attracted a large number of defenders and defensive attention of the national junior team, as a result, Torres passed the ball to the right side many times through the transition of the back or the front waist, and the right side of the front court forced the extremely hard full-back Laura and became a winger who spared no effort to insert the attack.

In the thirtieth minute, thirty-fifth minute, and thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Laura got the pass from the left side three times in a row, and he also ran wildly at high speed with the ball near the midfield. Laura basically didn't pass the ball after dribbling, just aimed at Shen Jun, the left wingback of the Chinese national junior team, trying to pass him.

It's a pity that he also underestimated Shin Joon's physical fitness and defensive ability.

Laura as a side assaulter, his speed is okay, but his height is only one meter seven, and his weight is less than one hundred and thirty pounds, he has repeatedly tried to use the acceleration to squeeze Shen Jun with his body and then wipe into the penalty area, none of which was successful, because Shen Jun's speed is not slow, and his defense is very experienced, that is, follow you closely, if you don't completely change the direction, I won't change the center of gravity, if you accelerate the ball again to pass someone, I will block your route, and use your body to bully the other party, after all, Shen Jun is one meter eight tall, nearly one hundred and forty-five, such a physical gap is too huge。

Every time Laura tried to overtake Shin Joon through the outer circle and squeeze her body to get past Shin Joon, it was her own failure.

The commentator in charge of the commentary also said lightly: "Mexico's No. 7 Laura is too unique, and Shin Jun's defense can be said to be leaky." ”

After seeing Laura's performance, the players of the Mexican team also made a decision, simply not passing it to him, and broke through by themselves.

Sure enough, when Torres handed the ball to No. 8 Lopez in midfield, the latter did not transfer to Laura on the right side, but chose to come by himself.

In the face of Lopez's fake fax pass, Duan Liuyu, who was in charge of defending and coming back to defend, was inexperienced, so he chose to make a bold move, kicked down the opponent, and gave the Mexican team a free kick about 30 meters in front, and at the same time he also received a yellow card.

Perhaps it was because the situation on the field was so dull before, and then a very controversial situation arose.

When Torres took the free-kick, Mexico's centre-forward Magana, who was on the right side of the box, headed the ball back into the centre of the box, and Dawn's positional sense was in trouble again when he missed another Mexican striker, Samudio, who smashed the ball into the net with a beautiful volley from an unguarded spot.

The Chinese junior team players who lost the goal all raised their arms and signaled that Magania was offside when they received the ball, but the referee still upheld his decision and firmly believed that Mexico's goal was valid.

With this goal that was suspected to be offside, Mexico was lucky to take the lead.

The Chinese commentator in charge of the commentary also complained about his dissatisfaction: "This ball should be an offside goal, judging from the footage I just broadcast, Magania crossed half of the body." ”

Sure enough, when the slow-motion replay, it was clear that Magania received the ball from an offside position and headed it to Samudio.

The slow-motion replay made the commentator even more unhappy: "In such a scorching game, both sides are evenly matched, and if the balance is broken because of an offside goal, it really shouldn't be." But the referee has already awarded the penalty, and we can only blame the national junior team for bad luck, and we can only accept it. In addition, I want to say that Liming's defense went wrong just now, Samudio was in the middle of the penalty area that he should have protected, and such an important position was not marked, so easy to hit the goal, it was too undeserved. ”

The goal of the Mexican team did frustrate the players of the Chinese national junior team, both sides had chances, but because of the referee's misjudgment and fell behind, the young players were a little impetuous.

In the next few minutes, the players of the Chinese national junior team were warned several times for continuous fouls on the Mexican players in the midfield, and Zhang Huachen also received a yellow card for excessive action, which made the players of the Chinese national junior team calm down a little.

Seeing this situation, Nie Jiang, as the absolute core of the team, began to think about how to solve this trouble, and soon Nie Jiang seized the opportunity.

Just one minute of extra time at the end of the first half, the Chinese national junior team played a beautiful attack on the right side.

Because the first half of the game has come to an end, the Mexican team wants to defend the advantage of the first half, Torres once again rushed through the half.

This time, Zeng Fanfang and Zhang Huachen found an opportunity and teamed up to break his ball, and at the same time, the fullback Xiang Tiange was holding back for most of the time, and he received Zeng Fanfang's reply, unreasonably accelerated and rushed with the ball, dodging the sliding tackle of Mexican defensive defender Cervantes, and dribbling the ball all the way to the right side of the penalty area.

Seeing that Nie Jiang withdrew from the penalty area at this time and asked, Xiang Tiange passed the ball to him without hesitation.

In fact, the ball passed to Tiange was a one-half ball, and Nie Jiang and Mexico's left midfielder Lopez could grab the ball, but Nie Jiang's starting speed was faster than Lopez, his feet were more flexible than him, and his body was stronger.

After Nie Jiang took the ball, he stumbled slightly and stabilized his body.

The narrator also said proudly: "Nie Jiang's physical fitness is really good. ”

Next, Nie Jiang took the ball directly into the penalty area.

With Fernando Torres still rushing back, Mexico's left flank was empty, and their left centre-back Benegas had to step up to defend.

After Nie Jiang saw Benegas come out, a dexterous smash in a high-speed dribble made the opponent's defense come to naught, and at this time Torres finally dared to rush back, Nie Jiang heard the voice of Xiang Tiange behind him and reminded him to accelerate again and slanted to the right, avoiding Torres's hands behind him who wanted to pull him.

It's just that this time the ball was a little big, allowing the opponent's goalkeeper to seal the angle, and Nie Jiang also took the ball to the penalty area near the bottom line.

When the goalkeeper of the Mexican team, Isei, thought that Nie Jiang would turn around and pass the ball to his teammates, or directly to his teammates in the middle or on the left, Nie Jiang decisively got up and shot, and this shot was in the upper corner of the gap between Isai and the goal post.

Nie Jiang's shot was extremely powerful, and the angle was also extremely sharp, and by the time Isai reached out to support the ball, the ball had already drilled into the upper corner like lightning, and at the same time lifted the net in the upper part of the goal high.

Nie Jiang's goal was undisputed, and the Chinese national junior team drew 1-1 with their strong opponent Mexico just before the end of the first half.

And the commentator shouted frantically: "Nie Jiang's breakthrough, the buckle is beautiful, past one, and then accelerate the ball, dodging the Torres who returned to the defense, the angle is very small, do you want to shoot? Shot, beautiful! Almost zero angle position, Nie Jiang decisively kicked the goal, the ball scored! The undisputed goal, the perfect performance from Nie Jiang! The Chinese team equalized, good!"

Rick Link, who was on the sidelines, excitedly hugged everyone in the dugout, and Nie Jiang's performance made him believe that he might be able to lead the team to make history.

Shortly after that goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At halftime, Mexico's head coach Mario once again reiterated the importance he attaches to Nie Jiang, asking all players to strengthen their defense against him, no matter which position he goes to on the field, they must not relax their vigilance against him.

And Rick Link chose to better protect Nie Jiang, he let Wang Xing, who was taller and stronger, come on the field to replace Duan Liu Yu, who performed averagely, and Nie Jiang came up from the position of center forward to Ying Feng, with more space to move.

Ricklink's substitution had a very good effect, and Mexico were extremely passive defensively at the start of the second half.

Cao Jinghao on the left side of the Chinese national junior team, Liu Ruofan on the right side, and Zeng Xingxing on the middle side all frequently handed the ball to Wang Xing, not Nie Jiang.

Wang Xing is responsible for holding the ball steady, and then using all means—head and foot—to hand the ball to Nie Jiang.

This style of play makes the Mexican team too passive, and now all the Mexican defenders on the field are a head shorter than Wang Xing, and they are completely incomparable in physical confrontation, so Wang Xing can't hold the ball steadily every time, although he is facing away from the goal, but he can make the ball to Nie Jiang very well.

In order to prevent such a duo of Wang Xing and Nie Jiang, Mexico had to use two central defenders, a midfielder, and a full-back (Torres) to stabilize the situation.

However, soon Rick Link played this tactic, Wang Xing is no longer looking for Nie Jiang specifically, Cao Jinghao on the left and Zeng Xingxing in the middle have also become Wang Xing's contact points, in fact, this is also the playing style of the Longteng team echelon - Wang Xing has a firm foothold in the front court, and makes the ball for his teammates in the front court, not limited to which point, but who is more suitable to run, and who is more suitable to run, it will be handed over.

This style of play of the national junior team is actually very similar to the previous style of play of the Dutch team with Kluivert, that is, using a center forward with strong adaptability to create opportunities for the players in the front court. It's just that Kluivert has a rare delicacy in the feet of a center, and his shooting ability is far superior to that of a low-profile version like Wang Xing.

But even so, it's not something that the current Mexican team can compete with.

After having Wang Xing in the second half, the Mexican team did not have many offensive methods except for occasionally finding Laura on the wing through a few long passes to bury their heads in the attack, or letting their players press frantically in the front court to prevent them from passing the ball to Wang Xing, because their formation was pressed too far back.

In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Mexico's captain central defender Esquiwell couldn't help but pull him to the ground from behind when Wang Xing got the ball, and the Chinese national team got a free kick of more than 20 meters in front, and Esquiwell also received a yellow card.

The free-kick was given to Cao Jinghao as he was the team's first free-kick taker.

After taking the ball from Cao Jinghao, it hit the right post after bypassing Mexico's human wall, and then it was kicked off the line by Eskiwell, and they dodged it.

The next corner kick of the Chinese national junior team, it was Wang Xing's header that grazed the lintel and flew out of the bottom line.

Seeing Wang Xing's performance, the commentator also sighed: "This is a standard center, who can hold the ball, protect the ball, make the ball, and have the ability to head the ball with one hand, such a center is too easy to use." ”

After Eskiwell received a yellow card for a foul on Wang Xing, another of their central defenders received a yellow card for stealing Nie Jiang, who received a pass from Wang Xing.

The yellow cards of the two centre-backs put the pressure on Mexico defensively to the limit.

In the 25th minute of the second half, it was Wang Xing's header on the line of the big penalty area that was handed back to Zeng Fanfang, who passed the ball to Liu Ruofan, who was completely empty, and Mexico's star Torres could only pull down the opponent in the penalty area, and when he received a yellow card, he also gave the Chinese national youth team a penalty.

Liu Ruofan, who made this penalty, was still complaining to the referee at first, and then saw that the referee really pointed to the penalty spot, and he jumped up excitedly.

Nie Jiang and Zeng Rongrong both came over to hug him in a friendly way and celebrate his success.

In the end, it was Nie Jiang who took the penalty, he calmly pushed the lower right corner of the goal after a little run, although the goalkeeper of the Mexican team Isai pounced in the right direction, but the ball speed was too fast, and when his palm stretched out, the ball had already crossed.

The Chinese national junior team finally overtook the score.

Seeing this situation, the Mexican team also made substitution adjustments, with Benegas, a central defender with a yellow card, being replaced, and another central defender with stronger fighting ability came on the field to specifically entangle with Wang Xing.

After this player came on the field, because he didn't have a card on his body, he made a lot of small movements, pretending to hit Wang Xing's eyes or face with his hands behind his back, and "accidentally" "touched" Wang Xing's head with his elbow, or worse, jumped on Wang Xing's body and pushed Wang Xing's waist with his knees.

It's fair to say that the defender used all the small moves that a South American player could do.

After all, Wang Xing didn't have much experience in dealing with such small actions, and after suffering many losses, a physical collision made the opponent lie on the ground for a long time, and the referee thought that Wang Xing's action was suspected of retaliation, and gave him a yellow card.

It's a pity that there are too many such small actions and there are times when there are losses, in the 36th minute of the second half, his small action secretly kicked Wang Xing's calf and was caught by the referee, giving the Chinese team a free kick in the front court, and was also warned by the referee.

He also had to rein in.
