After the start of the second half, Li Xin and Dong Lu also saw the personnel changes of the Nigerian team, and the two of them quickly guessed each other's situation.

Li Xin said: "Osimhen may really not be able to hold on, and the dawn on our side seems to be fine, which is very good news for us. ”

Dong Lu still reminded slightly: "Samuel Chukuz, who replaced Osmeen, can't be underestimated, his physical fitness is not as strong as Osmeen, but his offensive ability on the side is still extremely dazzling, and now he has three goals and three assists, although he is a little suspicious of brushing the data - all the data played in those big victories, you can still see his strength." ”

And after the start of the game, it is true that as Dong Lu said, Samuel Chukuz's performance did not make Nigeria's attack much weaker because of Osimhen's departure, and after he came on the field, the left forward Abel in this game was adjusted to the middle, and he used his speed on the left side to play a few waves of attacks.

In the ninth minute of the second half, Samuel Chukuz used the cooperation between himself and Nwakari to cause a foul on Zhang Huachen, who was in the upper row, and the latter received a yellow card.

This yellow card made Zhang Huachen feel constrained in the next game, and because of the accumulation of yellow cards, even if the Chinese national junior team can beat Nigeria to reach the final, Zhang Huachen will not be able to participate in the game.

His absence from the next game will not only reduce the interception ability of the Chinese national youth team in the midfield a lot, but also directly affect Zhang Huachen's mentality in this game.

In the next three minutes, Zhang Huachen fouled Nwakari in succession, causing him to receive a yellow card, and almost received a second yellow card.

Seeing this situation, Li Xin said a little unhappily: "This can't be done." To stabilize the mood, young people can be impulsive, but it depends on the occasion, and this is on the court. I think Rick Link is going to make adjustments. ”

Rick Link is also very decisive on his side, taking into account the physical confrontation on the Nigerian side, he did not use the pure back Naxi young player and Xin, but sent Guo Tianyu, after replacing Liming unsuccessfully before, this time he finally ushered in the opportunity to play.

Guo Tianyu is indeed very strong physically, he is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and he is not inferior to anyone on the other side in terms of frontal confrontation ability, but he is much slower in turning.

In fact, Guo Tianyu's position on the field has not been finalized, at the beginning he played as a central defender, and later because he was tall and strong, some coaches pushed him down to the center forward position to crush those opponents of the same age group who were not physically strong, and finally Magath came to Luneng, he began to try to transform Guo Tianyu into a back waist, it can be said that his plasticity is still quite strong.

Ricklink's substitution this time is still very adventurous, Guo Tianyu is physically strong, but the position of the back waist is not necessarily able to withstand it only by being physically strong, and then Nigeria's strong attack on this position has really worked.

At the start of the second half, Nigeria began to use the physical energy they had just rested to sweep wildly in the midfield.

Maybe they also know that they will be dragged down when they play positional battles with a team with strong ball control like the Chinese team, and their tactics choose to rely on crazy running to force the opponent, expecting to be able to penetrate the opponent's midfield, score a few more goals, and finally defend the counterattack, the yellow card that Zhang Huachen received is their first achievement.

Li Xin was also very surprised by Nigeria's tactics: "Such a crazy run is to take the initiative, but what to do at the end of the game? ”

"If you don't press like this, if you can't score a goal, won't you still lose?" Dong Lu saw the other party's intentions, "Maybe when you can still take advantage of your body and speed, you can score one or two goals, and the situation will open up." As long as the boys of the national junior team resist them for this time, our strong period is coming. ”

At this time, the situation on the field of the national junior team is really not good, Zeng Prosperity is now entangled by Nguera very much, and Nwakari's retreat defense often comes to help Nguera, so he does not have much help in attack.

Nie Jiang is capable, but he can't beat Nigeria's entire backline alone.

In the twenty-fourth minute of the second half, Nigeria finally found their chance.

This time, it was Nwakari who practiced with Nguera in the middle to grab the ball that had flourished, and then Nwakari made a long pass to Samuel Chukuz on the left, who took advantage of his ability to play in the second half, and his physical fitness was better than Xiang Tiange, jumping high and unloading the ball, and then he withstood Xiang Tiange's top defense, and kept dribbling the ball horizontally to make an inward intention.

Xiang Tiange followed Samuel Chukuz to defend in the penalty area, but the latter made a sudden stop and turned around, and after deducting Xiang Tiange, he went down.

When Xiang Tiange followed Samuel Chukuz again, the latter had already passed the ball out, and Abel, who was guarding in the box, headed back to the right post of Bombaya, and the latter's beautiful cushion shot made Huang Dawei completely unable to save, because it was too close.

It should be said that Liming's injury still affected his mobility, and he was a little slower when he jumped, and he didn't fight for the first point.

Li Xin also said with regret: "Nigeria has scored. They got a respite after a half-time and now the pressure is on the Chinese side. ”

Dong Lu looked very optimistic: "The game is equalized, but we can see that Nigeria does not have too many ways to break through the position, just now it was a long pass, the other party can't always be so bright, as long as the young man of the national junior team stabilizes his mentality, I believe that it will not take more than five minutes, Nigeria still wants to be so crazy in the midfield, it is impossible." But this is the time when our lads need to come up with the final blow to solve the problem. ”

Nigeria's attack did give them a morale boost, and after the kick-off of the Chinese national junior team, they continued their tactics and started to press frantically in midfield.

As the captain, Nie Jiang fulfilled his responsibilities, and said to his teammates before kick-off: "They are now drinking to quench their thirst, no team can grab it for a long time, I have played in the Chinese Super League, played in the AFC Champions League, and those top teams in Asia can't do it, they can't do it." I'm sure maybe they'll come back after the kick-off, and then it's time for us to put on a show, get through this period, and then we'll kill them. ”

Under Nie Jiang's calm analysis, the players also stabilized their mentality, and in the face of Nigeria's pressing, they smoothly ran and cooperated with the pass, so that the opponent did not have the opportunity to chase after the victory at all.

Sure enough, in the thirty-first minute of the second half, that is, only five minutes after the Chinese team kicked off, Nigeria's pressing rhythm completely slowed down.

Almnik started calling up Joel Osikel, another defender on the bench, to get him to replace Ag Chukudi, who had a yellow card.

But in less than a minute, the situation on the field has changed dramatically.

This time, it was the national junior team that launched an attack on the right side, Xiang Tiange dribbled all the way to the midfield, Samuel Chukuz worked hard to return from the front line, and left midfielder Ag Chukudi also came to defend.

Probably seeing that he had teammates behind him interfering with Xiang Tiange, Ag Chukudi made the idea of getting close to Xiang Tiange and wanting to cut off his ball with his teammates.

It's just that what Ag Chukudi didn't expect was that at this point in time, he was no longer the full state he was at the beginning before, Xiang Tiange suddenly picked up again in the face of Ag Chukudi's grab, and when Ag Chukudi's feet came, Xiang Tiange had already stepped out of the ball, and his foot did not stop and kicked Xiang Tiange's legs.

Xiang Tiange, who was running at a fast speed, fell to the ground headlong, and rolled on the ground a few times with an exaggerated body. Ag Chukudi hurriedly raised his hand to the referee who ran over to show that he didn't mean to.

Fouls on the football field are often not based on whether you are intentional or not, and this time Ag Chukudi's foul on Xiang Tiange objectively sabotaged an attack by the Chinese national junior team, and it also kicked someone, and a yellow card must not be escaped.

Combined with Ag Chukudi's foul on Zeng Prosperity in the first half, he received the first red card of the game and was sent off, which is also the result of his accumulation after escaping several fouls against the national junior team players in the past.

Although Nwakari, as captain, kept explaining to the referee that Ag Chukudi did not commit a foul on purpose, he still failed to change the referee's will.

Nigeria was hit hard just when the head coach was about to adjust their personnel and tactics.

Amnik on the sidelines was so angry that he almost smashed a punch on the partition of the coach's box, but what could he do, now the 4-3-3 formation was already strong and weak, and the back was sent off again, so he could only pile up defenders in the backfield for those who went down to the front.

When the fourth official on the field held up a sign, it showed that Nigeria had replaced another striker and Joel Osikel had come on to take the position of Ag Chukudi.

At this time, Xiang Tiange also returned to the field under the treatment of the team doctor, obviously he was not injured.

Nigeria's substitution was clearly intended to play a defensive counterattack, Samuel Chukuz simply moved from the left winger position to the shadow striker position, except for the center forward Abel, the whole formation retracted very much.

Without Nigeria's frantic pressing in the midfield, the Chinese national junior team easily overwhelmed their formation across the half.

At this time, the effect of the left position battle of the national junior team to pull the opponent's space is very obvious, Cao Jinghao and Shen Jun, plus Zeng Prosperity, the three of them have too strong transmission ability in a small space, and Nigeria's right defense is so tight that they can only rely on frequent on-hand fouls to stop the advance of the national junior team.

Nigeria coach Almnik on the sidelines was terrified, especially in the 36th minute of the second half, right midfielder Nguera also received a yellow card for pushing down Zeng Prosperity, and he had to make the third and last adjustment of the game, because the right wingback Lazarus also has cards on his body, and it is too dangerous for both people to have cards on one line.

Nigeria's substitute right midfielder Okonkuwo replaced Nguera, who had been in a rampage for almost the entire second half, and the extremely strong player came on with defensive commands.

Nigeria's attacking ability has been weakened to the limit after being sent off by a midfielder in succession and a three-man substitution up front.

The high-intensity pressure of the national junior team made the Nigerian defense line a parallel line, and the depth of the defense was completely squeezed.

Dong Lu was also looking forward to saying at this time: "The opponent's defense line is so flat, a straight plug is a fatal threat, and a high-quality shot can get a chance, it depends on who of our boys has the confidence to stand up." ”

Before Li Xin's words fell, Zeng Fanfang sent a good ball to Nie Jiang, and after cooperating with his teammates on the left side, he pulled to the bottom of the side, but what the Nigerian players didn't expect was that Zeng Fanhua did not directly cross the penalty area to find Nie Jiang in the middle, but a diagonal inverted triangle pass found Liu Ruofan, who successfully exchanged positions with Nie Jiang.

At this time, Liu Ruofan remembered Nie Jiang's words before: "They are all back to the light." ”

Now the situation on the field completely confirmed Nie Jiang's speculation, in a moment of lightning, Liu Ruofan's confidence doubled, and he decisively got up and shot.

Because Nigeria focused on Nie Jiang, who was in front of him, no one defended him when Liu Ruofan got up, but Nigeria's goalkeeper Yudu saved his team again, and he blocked the ball vigorously.

Because Nie Jiang grabbed the second point in the penalty area, Nigeria's central defender Zachary did not dare to adjust his body again, but used an unconventional action to block the ball in mid-air out of the penalty area with his legs.

Because the force of the ball was not great, it flew straight up and down to the arc in front of the big penalty area.

At the same moment when the whole game is full, whoever has better physical fitness can have more advantages, and at this time Cao Jinghao is a little more powerful than the opponent, he grabbed the Nwakari who was ready to return to the top of the arc of the big penalty area, and grabbed this point with a stride, and in the face of the ball falling from the air, he did not make any adjustments, and directly volleyed.

Liu Ruofan's shot just now made all the defenders of Nigeria send their center of gravity to defend, at this time, no one can block Cao Jinghao's ball in time, including Nigeria's goalkeeper Yu Du, who is still crawling on the ground, is also looking at the ball and sighing, he can only pray that Cao Jinghao's shot is off the goal.

In addition to shooting on the football field, the shooting on the football field is largely a matter of probability (luck), and the old Chinese saying "nothing more than three" now reflects this probability problem, Liu Ruofan's two shots on target failed to score, and Cao Jinghao's third shot on target finally achieved results.

The ball flew past all the Nigerian defenders and into the right side of the goal, and the Chinese national junior team took the lead again with less than five minutes left in the game, and the score became 2:1.
