Chapter 1058: A Rare Attack
Cuadrado blocked Xu Ziyi's pass off the sideline, and An Rong began to make substitutions, and he removed Liang Xiran and replaced him with Liu Jianwei. This is the first substitution for the Chinese team and the first substitution in this game.
He Wei said: "An Rong replaced Liang Xiran with Liu Jianwei, and the striker replaced the guard, which is to further strengthen the attack." ”
Xu Yang said: "An Rong's purpose is still obvious, to let Liu Jianwei go to the forbidden area to carry it." As far as Liu Jianwei's own characteristics are concerned, he is a center forward who prefers to stand on the pile. ”
"That's right. And after he plays, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu will be relatively more flexible, at least they dare to go out of the penalty area more to get the ball. ”
Colombia has no plans to make substitutions, but Pekerman already has an idea in his heart, if he really wants to make a substitution, then the first thing he will replace is Falcao - not that the team doesn't need a center forward to play defense, mainly because Falcao was too average in this game and didn't play his role most of the time.
******************
The power of Li Mu's header was too small, and Ospina grabbed the ball, but Ospina made a mistake when he opened his big foot, he slipped on the sole of his foot, and failed to drive the ball too far, and the ball flew to Murillo's feet almost at half a height, Murillo didn't expect Ospina to make such a mistake, some were not well prepared, and the ball was stopped too much, and Liu Jianwei, who had just come on the field, hurriedly rushed up to grab the ball.
'Ospina made a low-level mistake on the kick-off and it was clear that Murillo was out of condition and didn't expect his team-mate to make that mistake. ”
Liu Jianwei and Murillo both ran towards the ball, because the ball was far away from the body when Murillo stopped the ball before, so this scramble became a half goal, both sides had half a chance, when the two ran to the ball, they squeezed each other, but neither of them stood firm, fell on the court, Liu Jianwei kicked the ball towards Li Mu when he fell, Li Mu took two steps and controlled the ball, and Moreno, who was not far from him, also stuck to his side.
This kind of close-range close defense, both sides will definitely have more obvious physical contact, at this time Moreno hit Li Mu with his body, Li Mu originally planned to pull the ball back, and then give it to Chen Zihua or Xu Ziyi, who was plugged in later, but by Moreno hit like this, Li Mu, who was making a move, lost his balance and fell, and the ball was also snatched away by Moreno.
Li Mu looked at the referee and asked, "Didn't you blow a foul when he hit me?"
The referee didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't want to pay attention to it, and ran after Moreno, who was carrying the ball. Li Mu was a little dissatisfied, and when he stood up, he scolded in his mouth: "Damn!"
After so long in the second half, Colombia finally got a chance to attack, which is really rare. Of course, this is also related to their style of play, they are afraid that the space behind them will be used by the Chinese team, so they have not dared to press up to play, even if they get the opportunity to attack this time, they do not invest a lot of troops, and keep someone in the backfield at any time.
The ball passed to J Ronaldo, J Ronaldo was not close to the goal, he wanted to pass directly to Falcao, but Yan Tao pushed the ball out, Falcao stepped forward to snatch the ball, and gave it to Cardona, who gave it to Arias on the left.
Tang Ling and Arias were one-on-one, Arias didn't break through, and Tang Ling didn't rush to grab it, but just stuck him. Zhao Wenkang stepped forward to assist, and Arias passed the ball to Ronaldo. Colombia was also much closer to the Chinese goal after this push, and Ronaldo had come to about five meters outside the box.
Falcao has stood in the penalty area, J Ronaldo looked up at the goal of the Chinese team, picked up his left leg is a long shot, the power is enough, but the angle is not sharp enough, Ma Junqiang slapped the ball with both hands, and then hugged it in his arms.
"J Ronaldo's foot is a little impatient, but Colombia does not have much way to put the ball in, although Liang Xiran is off, but Yan Tao is still there, Colombia has only one striker, Yan Tao can completely keep an eye on Falcao. ”
It is worth mentioning that this was Colombia's first shot in the second half, they saw that the attack did not get the desired effect, and immediately retreated, Ma Junqiang did not wait for the players to go to the midfield to kick off again, he directly threw the ball to Huang Yu, Huang Yu gave Xu Zhixin again, and then quickly stepped forward, Cuadrado looked at Xu Zhixin, and Fabra followed Huang Yu.
Xu Zhixin passed the ball back to Huang Yu, and the two had a good idea, because they were both fast players, so they used this kind of cooperation to seek a breakthrough on the side. Huang Yu was already very close to the sideline when he received the ball, Xu Zhixin was fast but not fast enough to compare with the speed of the ball, Sanchez and Fabra surrounded Huang Yu on the sideline, Huang Yu burst out, the ball hit Fabra's foot and bounced to his calf, and finally it popped out of bounds, and Colombia got a throw-in.
An Rong made another substitution, and this time, Colombia will also be replaced together. An Rong replaced Xu Zhixin with Xiao Feng, while Pekerman replaced Falcao with Baka. Both men are making their first appearances in the tournament and both are in the same position.
Bacca used to be teammates with Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, and Yan Tao in AC Milan, but his relationship with these three players is very average, mainly because he has a bad relationship with Zhang Shujie, and Chen Zihua and Yan Tao are on Zhang Shujie's side, resulting in almost no social interaction between the two and Baka. Zhang Shujie and Baca were both transferred to Milan in the summer of 2015, when Milan was rebuilding, and Baca came to AC Milan before Zhang Shujie, because in the 2014/2015 season, Baca helped Sevilla win the Europa League and scored 20 goals in the league, so he was once considered a piece of the puzzle for the revival of AC Milan. However, all this came to naught with the arrival of Zhang Shujie.
By Zhang Shujie's side, Baca can only be a wingman, but Bacca's character can't accept such a role, especially with the entry of Li Yonghong, AC Milan's large number of reinforcements make Baca have to compete with Andre Silva, Cutrone and other players to compete for a main position, and the arrogant Baca also left AC Milan and joined Villarreal on loan.
It is reported that after returning to Spain, Baca revealed to the local media: "If I had known in advance that Zhang Shujie was going to AC Milan, then I would never have go." It can be seen that although Baka does not have a good relationship with Zhang Shujie, he also recognizes Zhang Shujie's strength.
Bacca is doing well for Villarreal these days, scoring 15 league goals last season, a far cry from Zhang's statistic, but good enough for a striker who turns 32. If it weren't for the fact that his reputation in the national team was not as good as Falcao, Baca would not have played as a substitute for Falcao.
It was only after the two men came on that the referee signaled for the game to continue, and Fabra threw the throw-in from the sidelines.
