Chapter 1133 - To play defensively

The ball just rolled into the German net.

He Wei suddenly raised his voice and hissed: "The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in! It's Li Mu! Li Mu! Li Mu! He scored a very, very, very important goal! This goal also helped the Chinese team equalize! The game was dragged into extra time! The Chinese team retained its hope of qualifying!"

Xu Yang also said excitedly: "This goal is indeed very crucial! In the last second of the game! Xu Zhixin skillfully assisted Li Mu, allowing Li Mu to score such an important goal! We can't measure the value of this goal yet! But, no matter what, the Chinese team still has a chance in extra time or even a penalty shootout!"

The moment the ball entered the goal, the Chinese fans in the stands suddenly erupted in loud cheers, and the reaction of the fans was fiercer than any previous goal. If someone were to ask how much the goal was worth, the fans' answer would be priceless!

Ye Xiaotong is definitely the one who is most excited. She stood on top of her chair, jumped and jumped, and almost fell down, but she didn't care, because it was Li Mu who scored this crucial goal, her future husband, and at this moment, Li Mu was definitely the most dazzling person on the court.

Wang Shihan, probably one of the many Chinese fans, did not cheer, but sat down in her seat. She covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, down her fingers, and dripping to the ground.

Although this goal did not come from Zhang Shujie, she was naturally very happy as a Chinese fan to see the Chinese team stubbornly equalize from 0:3 to 3:3. Besides, Zhang Shujie has already scored two goals, if the first two goals did not greatly improve the morale of the Chinese team, there would definitely not be this crucial third goal.

The Chinese players after the goal were the most excited, Li Mu ran frantically to the stands of the Chinese fans, followed by a large number of teammates, and even Ma Junqiang ran up from the backfield. They pressed Li Mu under them, as if they were stacking Arhats. And those Chinese fans also shouted Li Mu's name loudly.

Indeed, Li Mu deserves such treatment. This is Li Mu's fifth goal in this World Cup, although it came a little bit, but fortunately, it came in time.

and An Rong, after seeing the ball enter the goal, he jumped up on the sidelines like a child, and hugged Song Weifeng enthusiastically, and kept yelling in his mouth, but no one knew what he was shouting. As for the staff around him and the Chinese players on the bench, many of them ran to Li Mu's side. It can be said that it is not too much for the Chinese team to celebrate at this moment.

Liang Xiran in the locker room could not participate in this celebration because he was not on the field, but he was not idle, he jumped to celebrate his teammates, jumping around in the locker room.

Chen Hui in the press box was also dancing excitedly, he has always been a steady person, but at this moment, no matter how stable the Chinese fans are, they can't suppress the excitement in their hearts. Shen Hao is the most typical example, he opened his mouth and roared, constantly slapping the table, his hands were red, if Chen Hui hadn't stopped him, it is estimated that his hands would have been slapped until they were red and swollen. But after Chen Hui stopped him, he still couldn't suppress his excitement and hugged Chen Hui.

On the contrary, the situation of the German team was reversed, and Neuer blamed the defense of the penalty area in front of the goal: "What are you doing? Leave Li Mu alone? This is not the first time! You want me to talk to Li Mu alone? Don't you know his ability? Now it's okay, 3:0 is pulled to 3:3! If we can't win this game, it will definitely become a big joke in the history of the World Cup!"

Loew was also furious on the sidelines, his eyes were full of anger, he didn't know who he was scolding, his hands were still waving, and his angry appearance was not something that could be said clearly in a few words.

Injury time has arrived, the game has ended, the German team should have been kicked off in the center circle before the referee will blow the whistle, but the referee does not seem to want to wait for this "ceremony", and directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"Toot, beet, !——"

Now that the game is over, the Chinese team fell behind 0:3 in the first half and was sent off by one person, and in the second half, it scored three goals in a row to chase the score to 3:3, and the game had to go to extra time, which was also the second extra time of this World Cup. ”

Previously, FIFA stipulated that in some matches, as long as extra time was played, the two teams could activate a fourth substitution respectively. Unfortunately, this rule has not yet been implemented in the World Cup, which means that the German team, which has used up the full three places, has no one to replace. The Chinese team still has two substitutions.

Maybe many people have noticed a detail, that is, when An Rong's score was 2:3, some adjustments were made in the warm-up players, so that the two offensive players returned to the bench from the warm-up area, and instead called the two defensive players to warm up.

Many people began to speculate that An Rong might have thought that the game might go into overtime! After all, the Chinese team was already 2:3 at that time, and the game would not end for more than 20 minutes!

In fact, the reason is very simple: in the second half, the Chinese 10-man battle invested a lot of troops in the offense, and in the defense, to make up for the disadvantage of one less person, it is necessary for the players to have more running, and the more running, the greater the physical consumption! In addition, the Chinese team also played a period of high-level pressing, which is a very physically demanding style of play, but what is the test in overtime? It is physical strength! However, after a series of runs and scrambles, the Chinese players consumed more physical energy than usual, and compared with the German players, the 10 players on the field of the Chinese team ran a full 20 kilometers more! This is a very terrifying statistic! Therefore, if the Chinese team still focuses on the offense in overtime, it is easy to not be able to withdraw back in defense, and then it will be a big trouble.

Some people probably think that An Rong doesn't dare to take risks, but those who have these thoughts can first ask themselves, if they are in the position of head coach and the game is played to this extent, should it be "risky" or "insurance", maybe the latter is more secure. Moreover, An Rong did not completely give up attacking, but in overtime, defense should be regarded as more important than offense.
