Chapter 1095: The Counterattack Is Out
Joe Hart held the ball with his right hand, signaled the players to hurry up with his left hand, and waited until everyone withdrew from the penalty area before he threw the ball to Stones, who stopped the ball and wanted to pass it to Cahill, but Xu Zhixin suddenly came out and snatched the ball directly from under his feet when he was not paying attention!
This time England's backfield was a little messy, they didn't expect Stones to make such a mistake, so many players ran to the front, Xu Zhixin grabbed the ball, passed to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua wiped the ball, wiped Dyer, rubbed the ball with the outside of his right foot, and the ball rolled to the front court against the turf, rolling behind Cahill and in front of Li Mu.
He Wei said: "Stones made an undeserved mistake, allowing the Chinese team to get a chance!"
Although it was an opportunity, it was not an absolute chance to score, Li Mu's start was fast enough, he threw off Cahill next to him, but Smalling on the other side temporarily made up for it, and kicked the ball out of the bottom line before Li Mu got the ball in the penalty area, avoiding letting Li Mu face Joe Hart alone.
Cahill turned to look at Stones: "Hey, buddy, what's the matter with you? Don't be careless! Concentrate, we can't concede any more goals! ”
Stones made an apologetic gesture, saying it was his responsibility. Fortunately, China's goal did not form a goal, if Li Mu really scored and scored, Stones probably couldn't cry if he wanted to.
Chen Hui looked at Stones and said with a smile: "It's really frizzy enough." When he was at Manchester City, there were inexplicable mistakes from time to time. ”
The Chinese team got a corner kick, Zhao Wenkang drove the ball to the penalty area, the ball fell to the front point, Zhang Shujie's header rubbed and rubbed to the back point, Liang Xiran and Cahill competed for the top at the same time, and finally Cahill took the lead in grabbing the ball and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Marcus Rashford added another header to Kane.
When the two central defenders of the Chinese team ran to the England penalty area to compete for the header, but this means that the Chinese team's backfield is set up defense, Xu Zhixin and Huang Yu, two players who are not good at heading, are staying outside the penalty area to prevent being counterattacked by England, and these two players are very fast, so when Kane gets the ball, it is impossible to use speed to eat either of them.
Kane dribbled forward, but couldn't pass Huang Yu's level, speed and foot work are not Kane's strengths. Marcus Rashford has caught up, and his speed is very fast, but he is also followed by a faster Xu Zhixin.
The rest of the Chinese players were also on their way back to the defence, and the English players also came up to reinforce Kane, who gave the ball to Rashford and ran towards the front of the field, with Huang Yu following him. Marcus Rashford passed the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right, who then fed it to Stones, who wanted to use his speed to attack the Chinese backfield, but Yan Tao had already posted it towards him.
For a while, Yan Tao and Huang Yu temporarily swapped positions, although Huang Yu was not suitable for central defenders, but this temporary top position was not a problem. Stones ran too fast and not as fast as Yan Tao, in desperation, he could only give the ball to Ali, Ali could only knock the ball to Kane under Chen Zihua's defense, and made a two-on-two cooperation with Kane, when Ali got the ball again, it was already in the big penalty area.
Ma Junqiang attacked, but did not attack too far, mainly to prevent Ali from hanging the door, Ali glanced at Ma Junqiang, pushed the far corner of the goal with his right foot, Ma Junqiang lowered his body center of gravity, a side pounce, blocked the ball with one hand, Kane rushed up to make up the shot, but the ball was not blocked very far, it was less than half a meter away from Ma Junqiang, Ma Junqiang prostrate on the ground and pounced forward, pressing the ball under him.
He Wei said: "England really found a chance this time! Fortunately, Ma Junqiang performed well and did not allow England to score. ”
Southgate was a little sorry that the goal was not scored, but he seemed to see hope that if he played like this, there would always be a chance to score. At least that's what he thinks.
An Rong walked to the sidelines, put his hands next to his mouth and made a trumpet shape, shouting: "Pay attention to defense! Don't get addicted to attack and forget your backyard! Don't lose the ball! Maintain our advantage!"
It's hard to say whether this is a mistake by the Chinese team, but England did find a breakthrough from this counteroffensive. However, with the Chinese team's usual attitude to the game, after eating a trench in this defense, it will definitely be able to grow wiser in the future. Whether England can really get a similar chance on goal as Southgate thinks will depend on their creation.
After this wave of England's attack, the game fell into a short dull period, both sides are basically fighting in the middle and back of the Chinese team, the Chinese team is mainly defensive-oriented, but England, which is the main attack, has never got a good chance, although Dyer and Kane each have a shot, but they are on the periphery of the penalty area, and the threat to the Chinese team is not great.
In the first eleven minutes of the second half, England had three shots on goal, and China did not have a single one. But An Rong was worried because England's last two shots on goal were not good chances, at least there were no mistakes in the Chinese defence. Southgate, on the other hand, was a little worried, there had been no goal for such a long time, and if it continued to be consumed, the Chinese team's counterattack would start again.
Sterling, who controlled the ball, was ready to consider whether to give the ball to Rashford or to Kane, it was his short hesitation, the ball was snatched by Xu Ziyi immediately, Sterling saw Xu Ziyi break the ball and took the ball away, he was afraid that the Chinese team's counterattack would be played out because of this, so he used a foul to block Xu Ziyi, but Xu Ziyi had already passed the ball, and Sterling's outstretched hand was instantly retracted.
Chen Zihua rushed forward with the ball, Dai came up to block, Chen Zihua flicked the ball, knocked it again, and successfully broke through from Dai Er concisely and delicately, Dai also stretched out his foot, but the ball slipped past his feet, and at that moment he thought that if he stretched the ball leg a little longer, he would be able to break the ball.
However, he seems to have overlooked the fact that if his leg could really stretch a little longer, he would likely trip Chen Zihua and get a yellow card for it.
Chen Zihua ran out of about ten meters away with the ball, and then distributed the ball to the left side, after Xu Zhixin stopped the ball on his chest, he saw Huang Yu inserted from his side to the front court, so he sent the ball forward, the ball flew past Chamberlain and Stones, Huang Yu also quickly ran past the two, and received Xu Zhixin's pass about 40 meters away from the England backfield. And in front of him, there is not a single English player except the goalkeeper, it is already an open field!
