Chapter 211: Li Mu's ankles

In the locker room of the Chinese team, the players did not say a word, and the head coach Gao Hongbo and assistant Fu Bo did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little stiff. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yan Tao sat in the corner, not daring to look at Gao Hongbo's eyes. His red card is very worthless, even if the Chinese team can finally enter the final, he will not be able to play, he is wondering if Gao Hongbo will insult him because of his impulsiveness.

Gao Hongbo was silent for a long time before he said: "I know that you are all in a bad mood now, what I want to tell you is that my mood is even worse!"

The team lost Zhang Shujie, and Yan Tao, the main defender, was expelled from the field with a red card, and had no choice but to let Li Mu, who had not recovered from his injury, go into battle, as the head coach, all the unfavorable factors were concentrated in this game, and it was really strange that he was in a good mood.

"Zhang Shujie's injury is something that none of us want to see. But you can't just be so impulsive to stir up trouble because he's injured! And get a red card! Wilsick is definitely going to be sent off, we could have played 11 against 10, but now it's good, 10 to 10!"

Gao Hongbo's voice became louder and louder, and the anger could be heard by anyone. The team members all knew that he was teaching Yan Tao a lesson in the open and in secret, and many people secretly went to see how Yan Tao reacted, Yan Tao was hiding in the middle of the crowd with a calm face.

Gao Hongbo fell silent again, as if to stabilize his emotions, and after a while, he lowered his voice and asked Li Mu: "How is the injury? Is there a problem in the second half?"

Li Mu frowned slightly, and then said, "It should be no problem." ”

He couldn't be sure of it himself, so he could only use the word "should". He also knows very well in his heart that now this situation is beyond him, as long as he is not lame and crippled, and he is not injured and can't walk, Gao Hongbo will definitely send him to play, otherwise who will attack the city for the Chinese team?

So Gao Hongbo asked him if he had any problems just now, and it was just a "situationism".

Gao Hongbo nodded and began to arrange the tactics for the second half: "Liu Jianye, you replace Wu Hao in the second half." ”

Liu Jianye said: "Yes, high finger." ”

Gao Hongbo said again: "Since Yan Tao can't beat ......" Saying that, he glanced at Yan Tao, looked away again, and said: "Then the three defenders in the team will shrink a little, stand closer, and we will play the configuration of three central defenders." Xu Ziyi, in the second half, you play the back and pay attention to the interception in the midfield. ”

"Okay. "Xu Ziyi has no opinion, he can play any position in the midfield.

Li Mu's words...... Be a shadow striker and ambush behind Gao Lin. ”

Li Mu nodded, he is also handy in this position, in the front court, he only has a center forward and is not competent, and the rest is not a problem.

"That's basically it, everything else is played the way we did in the first half!"

Gao Hongbo can only arrange it like this at present, there are many people in the national team, but there are only a few who are really powerful. Among the domestic players, Deng Zhuoxiang may be able to get it.

The atmosphere in the Australian dressing room is very good, the ace of the Chinese team has been sent to the hospital, although Li Mu is expected to have high hopes, but he is injured, and it is unlikely that he will play 100% of his condition. There is also defender Yan Tao, who was sent off with a red card. In Australia's eyes, there is only one Ma Junqiang in the back of the Chinese team, which is slightly more difficult to deal with.

Head coach Holger Osik laughed: "It's good, even though it's a draw, but we actually have the advantage. The most important characters on the other side have already gone down to two, and one person can only be counted as 'half'. Although the midfielder named Zhao Wenkang has good ability, he is a full-back after all, and his range of activities is limited to the side, and Xu Ziyi, the strength is there, but he is too young, less than twenty years old!"

Osik kept smiling as he spoke, and it was self-evident how relaxed his mind was. He is now at least 60% sure that he can beat the Chinese team!

As the second half was about to begin, the players of both teams walked out of the locker room and onto the pitch one after another. There have been no changes in Australia's personnel, but the Chinese team has changed two.

"The second half is about to begin. There have been some changes to the Chinese team's lineup, Li Mu is replacing the injured Zhang Shujie in the second striker position, and Liu Jianye has replaced Wu Hao in central defender. It seems that Gao Hongbo wants to make the position of the three defenders more concentrated. ”

The players each walked to their own positions, and Xu Ziyi retreated a lot according to Gao Hongbo's request, from the mid-front to the back. The back waist can usually be mobilized to attack, but Gao Hongbo let him defend more, it is estimated that Gao Hongbo is not very confident about the configuration of the three guards, the Chinese team has hardly played such a configuration, but now there is no other way, Gao Hongbo is not willing to replace anyone in the front court.

In fact, he has no one to replace.

Liu Jianhong's voice continued: "Li Mu came out with an injury, he scored three goals and two assists for the Chinese team in the previous four games, and he and Zhang Shujie were the two best players in the team. It's a pity that Zhang Shujie was injured, and Li Mu was also ordered to be in danger and was sent to the game by Gao Hongbo, but I don't know if his injury will affect his performance. ”

The things mentioned by Liu Jianhong are also very concerned by Chinese fans, without Zhang Shujie, Li Mu has become the only guarantee on the front line.

Chen Hui and other reporters sat quietly in the press box, they pursed their lips one by one, looking at the players of the national football team, to be precise, at Li Mu.

Li Muzheng and Gao Lin stood together in the center circle, and in the second half, the Chinese team kicked off, and the referee looked at the watch on his wrist, and as soon as the time came, he blew the whistle.

The second half of the game finally began, Gao Lin knocked the ball to Li Mu, and Li Mu passed back to Deng Zhuoxiang.

Both teams were only ten people on the pitch, and neither could take advantage of anyone. Relatively speaking, Australia may be a little stronger, they have a healthy Colwill, and the Chinese team has only one injured Li Mu.

The Chinese team made a few passes at the back, causing the Australian players to press forward and disperse the personnel a little. Du Peng signaled that he could attack, so he passed the ball to Xu Ziyi and asked him to make a transition. Xu Ziyi passed to Deng Zhuoxiang, Deng Zhuoxiang shared the ball in the midfield, Qu Bo passed diagonally to Zhang Shujie after winning the ball, and Gao Lin ran in front of him. Although Australia didn't take Gollin very seriously, he had to be watched when he attacked the front, and Oglovski ran after him, and captain Nell approached Li Mu.

Li Mu is feeling quite good now, maybe it was just because the game had just started, there was not much running, and there was not much pressure on his ankle. He looked at Nell, who was a meter in front of him, and with a flick of his right foot, a beautiful feint tricked Nell into falling for it, flashing a gap.

Before Deng Zhuoxiang ran up, Li Mu slanted over, Deng Zhuoxiang stopped the ball at the top of the left side of the penalty area, and was about to volley with his left foot, Jedinak made up for the defense and snatched the ball away before Deng Zhuoxiang shot.

The two had a physical collision, Deng Zhuoxiang was supposed to raise his legs, but was touched by Jedinak, his body lost his balance and fell to the ground, he glanced at the referee, the referee decided that it was a reasonable collision, Deng Zhuoxiang was also depressed and stood up from the ground.

Li Mu's actions just now reassured the fans a lot, and he looked like everything was normal. It doesn't look like a wounded person at all, but ......

"Li Mu's sudden suffocation is very exciting, and it seems that his injury is not a big deal for the time being. But it's only been a few minutes since the game and we can't say anything about it, we all want him to be fine. ”

Liu Jianhong's words are also what the Chinese audience wants to say. Shen Hao asked Chen Hui: "Li Mu...... It should be possible, right?"

Chen Hui shook his head: "I'm not him, how can I know? ”

Shen Hao didn't ask, and turned his head to look at the No. 10 of the Chinese team on the court.

Li Mu was quite active. Australia's wave of attack did not enter China's penalty area, the Chinese team counterattacked, Zhao Wenkang saw Li Mu's position with the ball, and passed it without thinking.

Li Mu got the ball for the second time, and it was still Nell who defended. There was no discomfort in his ankle after passing for the first time, but Li Mu didn't dare to be arrogant, no matter how he said it, he was injured and went into battle, and everything had to be careful and careful.

With the outside of his left foot, the ball made an outer arc against the ground, and the ball was given to Gao Lin. The ball bounced twice on the ground, Gao Lin controlled the ball, he saw that Li Mu had already run up, and shouted loudly to him: "Pass it, quickly!"

Gao Lin, who heard the shout, handed the ball back to Li Mu again.

It's a two-by-two, and once this kind of combination is passed, it is very difficult for the backline to defend against it. Gao Lin's ball was smoothly passed to Li Mu's feet.

Li Mu picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and Nell chased after him. Li Mu was neither swaying nor human, facing the attacking Schwarzer, he just turned sideways, and with a light push of his right foot, the ball flew to the far corner of the goal.

In the midst of a cry of regret and fright in the stands, the ball rolled past Schwarzer's fingers, then over the goalpost, and seemed to rub lightly with the goalpost before finally rolling out of the boundary.

Li Mu shook his hand vigorously, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn!" It can be seen that he cares very much about the opportunity he missed.

He twisted his ankle, intending to scrape a small arc with the inside of his right foot that would go around the goalkeeper and back into the net from the far post, but the ball didn't go his way. I think this has something to do with his injury, he was almost unguarded just now, Nell is still two meters away from him, on weekdays, under no one to mark, he will never miss.

Holger Osik didn't feel right, how could the Chinese team take the initiative at the beginning of the second half, which was not what he thought. He hurried to the sidelines and shouted, "What are you doing? Defend well! What is there to fear from an injured person? Don't forget to attack! Don't you want to make it to the finals? Hell!"

O'Syck's roar still had some effect, and the Australian players themselves felt that something was wrong. Didn't you say that the Chinese team was not a threat? What happened to Li Mu's shot? Could it be that it was really hell?

Nell clapped his hands at the players: "Counterattack!

Goal kicks were all good chances to attack and Australia launched a counter-attack. Li Mu is worried about his ankle, so he won't go back to defense, and he basically doesn't have to fight in the front court, all of which is done by Gao Lin.

With two fewer people on the pitch, the players seemed to feel that the field had suddenly become a lot wider. Especially after Xu Ziyi changed to play in the back, the vacancy between China's two "waists" was particularly large, and Australia almost effortlessly attacked the 30-meter area of the Chinese team's backfield.

The defensive pressure of the three defenders can be imagined, but fortunately, Xu Ziyi is a barrier in front of these three people, Zhao Wenkang and Qu Bo also returned to defense, and there were not too many loopholes in defense for a while. Ma Junqiang is still directing the defenders to mark, especially Australia's Colwill.

Colwill ran in a wide range of frontcourt, and Tim Cahill's activity area was not small, and the two of them crossed each other on the left and right, which actually pulled Du Peng and Li Guobin farther away, and cracks in the defensive line also appeared.

The defenders of the Chinese team still look a little tender in the face of such a transposition attack, after all, they have never seen any big scenes, and there is a feeling of being led by the nose of the opposing striker. Valery, who was dribbling the ball, made a straight shot from outside the box, and McKay was extremely fast.

Ma Junqiang gave up the goal behind him and pounced on the ball, and McKay met the ball and pushed it, which hit Ma Junqiang's arms. The ball jumped out twice, but it was not far from Ma Junqiang's hands, he quickly reached out and took the ball back into his arms, without giving Australia any chance to make up for it.

In just five minutes, the Chinese team and Australia both gave each other a false alarm.
