Xiang Tiange also lived up to the attention of the Nigerian team.

In the face of Nigerian defender Ag Chukudi's coming defense, Xiang Tiange resolutely walked to the side, pulling Nigeria's midfield defensive formation with a huge distance.

This is also a huge weakness of the 4-3-3 formation, because there are many people on the front line, and the defense in the midfield must be empty, which is barely acceptable horizontally, but it is too dangerous in the vertical depth.

Xiang Tiange is still very experienced in the game, and after he resolutely pulls the side, Nigeria's lateral defense must open up space, which gives the Chinese national junior team an excellent opportunity in the vertical.

The position where Zeng Prosperous ran was the horizontal and vertical node of Nigeria's midfield defense, because Nwakari had just pressed up to attack as a forward midfielder, and Nguela on the left side of the three midfielders had to leave the left side to defend in the middle, and at the same time, the left striker Bangbaya also desperately returned to the midfield to fill the position.

But then Zeng Fanfang, who was in a key position, made an unexpected move, he received a pass from Xiang Tiange, and with his back to the defender, he directly hooked the ball to Liu Ruofan behind Nguera.

In fact, Xiang Tiange's passing under the defense of Ag Chukudi is not too good, the pass is in place, but the ball is the player's least favorite half-high ball, and the speed is also slow, if such a ball catcher wants to take it well, he must slow down to protect the ball before making the next move.

However, Zeng Prosperity used the passing skills that can only be used on the field, in fact, this is also a passing skill he learned from his teammate Ding Huaiyi, who has left the Longteng team - the ultimate source is still Xiao Luo.

Ag Chukudi had no idea that the ball would fly over his head, and behind him was Liu Ruofan.

Seeing that Zeng Fanxing wanted to turn around and rush forward after passing the ball, Ag Chukudi subconsciously threw Zeng Fanrong to the ground with both hands.

Zeng Prosperous's pass not only made Ag Chukudi unexpected, but even Li Xin, who commentated, was frightened: "Xiang Tiange was forced to the side and passed the ball. Ahh How did he come up with the idea of passing the ball like this? The foul of the opponent's defender was simply subconscious, and the referee waved his hand to signal that the game would continue, and it was advantageous for the Chinese team to attack. ”

"The referee's decision was very accurate. Dong Lu also shouted, "Liu Ruofan got the ball, and there was not a single defender around him." ”

In the commentator's commentary, Liu Ruofan's action of taking the ball in front of the penalty area and wanting to shoot made Nigeria's central defender Ike have to come up to defend, after all, the infinite retreat defense will make Liu Ruofan's shot closer and closer, and the chance of scoring will be bigger and bigger.

Liu Ruofan waited for Ike to grab this next, he pushed the ball horizontally to Nie Jiang, and Nie Jiang handed the ball to Liu Ruofan who rushed into the penalty area after passing the ball with a light oblique push, the latter took advantage of Ike's weakness of being tall and not in a hurry to break through, Ike didn't dare to pull it with his hands when he saw Liu Ruofan enter the penalty area, and could only watch the other party go away.

Liu Ruofan, who got the ball in the penalty area, shot decisively, and Nigeria's goalkeeper Yudu made a wonderful save as he lifted the ball out of the box with one palm.

You Du's save can be said to have reached the limit, Liu Ruofan's shot so close to the goal in the penalty area, the power is so great, even if the shot is right, it is very rare.

However, the ball was too close after all, and the ball was held on the right side of the penalty area, which happened to be where Cao Jinghao was, and Nigeria's right wing-back Lazaru was a step too slow and had to pull down Cao Jinghao, who was about to break through.

When Li Xin saw Liu Ruofan and Nie Jiang starting to make a two-to-one, he shouted loudly: "Beautiful cooperation in front of the penalty area, Liu Ruofan enters the penalty area, and he can shoot! Oops! Shoot too right, this opportunity is rare." There is still a chance, Cao Jinghao got the second point and was pulled down by the other party, this must be a card. ”

"There were four defenders and we were four attacking players, so it's a shame that we didn't go in. Dong Lu said with great regret, "Zeng Prosperous's pass is so beautiful, Nigeria's middle is completely empty." Fortunately, the Chinese team's attack was very layered, forcing the opponent to get the cards. Let's take a look at this free kick from the Chinese team. ”

"Do you know who I thought of in Zeng Prosperous's pass just now?" Dong Lu only began to judge at this time, and continued: "Ding Huaiyi, the football elf of the Longteng team before. It's been a long time since he went to play in Europe to see such an imaginative pass from a Chinese team. ”

"Hey, why isn't it Lazarus' card?" Li Xin asked suspiciously when he saw the hint of the card.

"It was Ag Chukudi who was discarded. Dong Lu said for the first time, and soon another yellow card came out, showing that Lazarus also received a yellow card, "Oh." The first card just now should be the previous card, a foul on Zeng Prosperous. Haha, in an attack, the opponent received two yellow cards, and it was only less than ten minutes into the beginning, and the Chinese team was very advantageous. ”

Li Xin and Dong Lumei praised their home team, but the Nigerian team was very nervous, because the Chinese national junior team's opening attack was too fierce, they discharged a two-person human wall, and all the players in the penalty area came back to defend.

At this time, the Nigerian player is tall and physically strong, and when Cao Jinghao's ball came out, Nigeria's central defender pressed Nie Jiang to push the ball out of the penalty area.

Fortunately, the national junior team was very cautious in controlling the second point, although the opponent got the second point, Zeng Xingxing tightly wrapped Nwakari who got the ball, and did not let him play a quick attack.

In these few seconds of entanglement, the defensive formation of the Chinese national junior team all returned to position.

The national youth team played very beautifully on the field, whether it was Li Xin and Dong Lu smiling and grinning, and the fans watching the game were very happy, only Rick Link was very panicked now, because his tactical arrangement was to start scoring goals, and now the attack is there, the opportunity is there, but the goal is not.

As the most core offensive point on the field, Nie Jiang was indeed extremely dead by the opponent in this game.

Nie Jiang's physical fitness is good, and he can not be afraid of the opponent's physical confrontation when facing several opponents before, but in this game Nie Jiang finally understood what Rick Link said before the game about the physical advantage in the junior game.

Now Nie Jiang began to think about how to break this deadlock.

In the twelfth minute of the first half, Nigeria began to show its offensive ability after gradually adapting to the attacking style of the Chinese national junior team.

This time, Nwakari continued to gain the advantage in the midfield against Zhang Huachen's defense, and after using his body and technique to avoid Zhang Huachen's entanglement, he handed the ball to Bombaya on the right.

After Bombaya and Nguera played a beautiful one-two combination to get past Cao Jinghao, the former decisively got up and passed the ball into the penalty area to find Nigeria's centre-forward Osimhen.

As the most physical, superb shooter and most impactful player in the Nigerian team, Osimhen basically didn't get any chances in the opening ten minutes, and Dawn showed his best form and severely limited him.

Now he finally got the opportunity to attack the goal in the penalty area, in the face of the ball passed by Bangbaya, Osimhen ran successfully, dodged the entanglement of Liming, found Zhu Chenjie's defensive area, he squeezed Zhu Chenjie with his body, and a powerful header rushed to the top and smashed the ball towards the goal of the Chinese team.

Huang Dawei jumped on the spot like a spring, and supported Osimhen's powerful header with his hand, but the header was too powerful, although Huang Dawei held it up, the ball still smashed directly on the lintel.

Fortunately, the ball was in a good position when it bounced down, just in front of Huang Dawei, and he directly pounced on the football with a hungry tiger.

Huang Dawei, who held down the ball, looked left and right at the opponent's players and left and right after they had left the danger area, and then stood up with the ball in shock.

"Osimhen's ability is strong. Li Xin sighed: "It is really amazing to be able to crush the central defender like this in the penalty area. ”

"Nwakari and Osimhen, these two players, can basically play a successful attack, such a player, if he can develop well, the future is promising. Dong Lu also said enviously.

Dong Lu is indeed not wrong, in history, Nwakari and Osimhen have been greatly sought after after this World Junior Championship, countless European giants including Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams sought after, and finally Nwakari followed his brother to Manchester City, Osimhen was after countless teams offered, and finally went to Wolfsburg, which is the most sincere.

The two spent Β£4 million on Manchester City and €3 million on Wolfsburg respectively.

Seeing Nigeria go back and re-establish the formation, the national junior team also took advantage of this time to spread out the formation.

When the offensive formation was pressed outward, Nie Jiang, Zeng Fanfang and Cao Jinghao all made a simple exchange: "Let's use the tactics of the Longteng team." ”

Zeng Fanfang also nodded to indicate that he understood.

After determining the tactics, Nie Jiang's tactical intentions, as the captain on the field, quickly spread throughout the team, and Huang Dawei's ball was wisely not given to Xiang Tiange on the right, but to Shen Jun on the left.

Seeing the choice of the Chinese team, Nigeria subconsciously thought that the opponent wanted to start dragging the rhythm, because the left side of the national junior team was not suitable for strong attacks and fast attacks.

However, the confidence of the national junior team to attack is far beyond their imagination.

After Shin Jun got the ball, he coordinated with Liming, who was promoted from central back, and Cao Jinghao of left midfield, who continued to run short passes to each other on the left flank, attracting the attention of Bangbaya, Nwakari and Nguera, including the rest of the Nigerian players, who were focusing on this place.

When Shin Jun and Cao Jinghao pushed the attack closer to the midfield as if they were passing training, Zeng Fanfang also came over to pick up, which was a seamless switch of a typical attacking triangle.

This time, Nigeria also knew that the Chinese team was going to attack the left side, and even Osimhen rushed over from the center forward position to help defend.

Because Lazarus had a yellow card on him, Nguera, as the right midfielder, took on the task of pressing up, and the former was the forward passing line of the three players of the Chinese team standing on the periphery.

Liu Ruofan is also very smart at this time, he knows that he is not as familiar with running as the current Longteng trio, he is simply stuck in the gap between Lazarus and Nwakari, making a response posture, and does not run to the middle of the trio and participate in the pass.

After more than a dozen consecutive passes, this offensive triangle began to shift the offensive line, because Nie Jiang also ran to the middle at this time.

Followed by Nigeria's central defender Zachary did not want to be easily involved in the attack.

When Cao Jinghao's last pass was made to Zeng Fanfang, the latter suddenly changed the direction of the pass, he handed the ball to Liu Ruofan and began to run to the middle, while Cao Jinghao followed, and Shen Jun walked to the bottom line of the side.

The Chinese team's offensive triangle became Cao Jinghao, Zeng Fanfang and Liu Ruofan.

In fact, the switch between these two offensive triangles is still quite dangerous, after all, Liu Ruofan is not familiar with the offensive triangle tactics used by the Longteng team.

After Liu Ruofan got the ball, Lazarus was close behind him, and Engela was running with Shen Jun.

While running, Shen Jun stretched out his hand to Liu Ruofan to express that he wanted the ball to break through the bottom, this action was very obvious, but Nie Jiang, who was retreating very strongly, did not raise his hand, but just shouted: "Give it to me." ”

Liu Ruofan did not hesitate, and directly knocked the ball to Nie Jiang, at this time, Nie Jiang was followed out to defend Zachary, and Nwakari, who returned to the defense, formed a pinching trend.

However, what Nie Jiang wants is this effect, Liu Ruofan's offensive triangle this time is only a transitional role, and it depends on Zeng Prosperity to cooperate.

Sure enough, Nie Jiang faced Liu Ruofan's pass, and the ball was handed over directly to Zeng Fanfang.

Nwakari had to turn to prepare to defend Zeng Xingxing, but the latter also handed over the ball with a direct pass without stopping, and Nie Jiang was the only one by Nie Jiang's side at this time.

After this series of scheduling, Nie Jiang finally had the opportunity to hold the ball and face the opponent alone.

While receiving Zeng Fanrong's pass, Nie Jiang got rid of Xhachary's defense with a beautiful turn to wipe the ball.

This attack on Nie Jiang is the real rhythm change point.

After Zachary was erased by Nie Jiang, he hurriedly wanted to bump into him to repeat his teammate's previous defense against Yang Yilin, but Nie Jiang's physical fitness was much stronger than Yang Yilin's.

Although his body shook slightly, Nie Jiang did not have any tendency to fall, but instead used the strength of the opponent to hit him to accelerate the ball forward.

At this time, Nie Jiang's strong foot ability was shown, and he controlled his dribbling rhythm only by the strength of the ball when he was hit by an external force.

The Chinese national junior team got an excellent opportunity through a series of overall combinations on the left flank, and Nie Jiang got an excellent chance.
