Chapter 187: Two Goals Lead

The Chinese team has no plans to change for the time being, and there is nothing to change tactically, just pay attention to Kuwaiti striker Mutawa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info 11 people beat 10 people on the other side, as long as you don't mess around, there will be absolutely no problem in winning.

Gao Hongbo just let Yang Xuri run more in the second half and asked the two full-backs to plug in as far as possible. Gao Hongbo said: "In the second half, Kuwait will definitely change the formation and the position of the personnel will also change, but we don't have to be afraid, play at our own pace, we have a numerical advantage, and psychologically they are under more pressure than us." โ€

After speaking, he looked at Hu Xiaoning: "Don't make any more mistakes, fortunately Ma Junqiang played well in the first half, otherwise we would have lost the ball first." โ€

Hu Xiaoning nodded: "I'll pay attention, Gao Gui." โ€

"Well, I don't have anything in particular to advise, I'll leave the rest of the time to you and discuss the details of the game yourself. โ€

The players began to talk quietly, and Gao Hongbo looked at the tactical panel, not knowing what he was thinking.

In Kuwait's locker room, Tufigzic's formation has undergone a change, the original four defenders have become three backs due to Nada's departure, these three defenders are obviously difficult to reach Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's repeated impacts, coupled with the support of Zhao Wenkang and Deng Zhuoxiang in the middle, so that the configuration of the three backs is inadequate, Tufigziqi let Waleed Ali's position retreat a little and play left-back, so that Kuwait's formation in the second half will become 4-4-1.

Tufigezic made no substitutions for the time being, and he decided to wait for 10 minutes. He let Waleed Ali, who was born as a fullback, play left-back, also taking into account the offensive aspect, attacking and retreating, and defending, just doing this Waleed Ali will be very tired, but this is also a helpless thing, there is one less person in the team, so he can only be temporarily wronged.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and both teams re-entered the field. Liu Jianhong's loud voice echoed in the ears of every fan: "Now the second half of the game is about to start, the players of both sides have played, and there are no substitutions for both teams." In the first half, the Chinese team's performance was quite good, suppressing the Kuwait team in attack, and Zhang Shujie opened the scoring in the 29th minute, giving the Chinese team a 1:0 lead. Kuwait's defender Nada received a red card for a foul on Yang Xuri in the 34th minute, so Kuwait had to respond with 10 men. โ€

Kuwait kicked off in the second half, and Mutawa passed the ball to Amir, who split the side and handed it to Nzina. At this time, Li Mu rushed forward quickly and snatched the ball before Enjina passed it.

Just six seconds into the game, Kuwait conceded the goal.

Li Mu's sprint came too suddenly, Enjina obviously didn't prepare in advance, he didn't expect Li Mu to rush up suddenly, and he panicked in his heart, so he lost the ball.

Li Mu, who grabbed the ball, did not immediately return the pass, but used his excellent personal skills to protect the ball, and after taking a few steps, he passed the ball sideways to the right, which was Zhang Shujie's position.

Zhang Shujie got the ball, Zhao Wenkang and Yang Xuri inserted from both sides of him, Chen Fanyu and Deng Zhuoxiang followed behind the two and also ran up, and the Chinese team launched an attack at the beginning. Zhang Shujie handed the ball to Chen Fanyu and ran forward by himself, Chen Fanyu and Deng Zhuoxiang made a small cooperation, and the latter passed the ball to Zhao Wenkang's feet.

The Kuwaiti player certainly understands how capable the right-sided midfielder from Setรบbal is. Maybe in world football, Zhao Wenkang is not well-known, but for Kuwait, it can be regarded as a big star. Tufigzic, who has studied several of China's overseas players, is extremely threatening with Zhao Wenkang's crosses and cut-ins, which is also one of the main attacking methods of the Chinese team at the moment.

Yang Xuri, Li Mu, and Deng Zhuoxiang quickly came to the Kuwait penalty area, and the left defender Yu Dahai also entered the big penalty area. Zhao Wenkang glanced at it, sent it forward with his foot, and the ball went to Zhang Shujie.

Chen Fanyu answered in front, Zhang Shujie faced Waleed Ali's defense, there was no strong breakthrough, he took turns to shake the ball with both feet, and with a knock on his left foot, Chen Fanyu received his pass.

Chen Fan's badminton also didn't stop, he crossed directly, the ball flew to the back of the penalty area, Li Mu hit the incoming ball with his forehead while running, and did not jump, the ball bounced back in the small penalty area, just bounced under Halliday's armpit and hit the net.

Li Mu was so excited that he ran along the bottom line to the corner kick area, and Liu Jianhong also said happily: "Li Mu finally scored! He ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the linesman raise a small flag, and Liu Jianhong had to change his tone: "Ah? This goal is offside! Li Mu should stop running, save a little physical strength, and strive to score a goal in the later time." โ€

Li Mu didn't know that he was offside, he was still running, and he ran to the position of the corner flag. Deng Zhuoxiang shouted at him: "Hey, Li Mu, don't run, it's offside, this ball doesn't count." โ€

"What?offside?" Li Mu stopped and looked back, the referee was signaling to him that the ball was an offside goal.

Li Muxin reluctantly shook his hand and kicked the corner kick flag, and his first major goal in the national team was "obliterated" by the referee.

Ma Junqiang stood in front of his goal and said with a wry smile: "That stupid boy, didn't you find that the ball was invalid after running so far? If it weren't for Deng Zhuoxiang's reminder, he would still be intoxicated with himself." โ€

Judging from the slow-motion replay, Li Mu was indeed offside, and the referee's penalty was very accurate. Kuwait, with the "help" of the referee, finally escaped death.

Now Kuwait is counterattacking, although there are only ten players present, but this does not mean that they have given up the attack. Khalidi took advantage of the fact that the Chinese defenders had not yet returned to the defense, intending to play a quick counterattack, and he drove the ball to the front court with a big foot to find striker Mutawa.

Du Peng kept a close eye on Kuwait's number one striker, and Mutawa took the ball, but his teammates could not come up to support him, so he had to choose to dribble the ball himself. Du Peng kept harassing him, making him very uncomfortable with the ball, Amir was the first to rush over, and Mutawa was snatched away to defend the ball, so he passed it.

Amir looked around, the Chinese players had returned to their defensive positions, and Mutawa was even more heavily surrounded. Amir crossed the ball diagonally into the box, and it was a high ball that Mutawa wanted to fight for but found it was not for him. The ball was behind him, Jarrah Arteki and Hu Xiaoning jumped up at the same time, Arteki fought for the ball, although he was in the box, but he did not directly hit the goal, he rubbed lightly, the ball jumped to the back point.

Yusuf Nasser appeared, jumped high with the power of the sprint, and smashed his head into the ball that fell in front of him, which seemed to have a very brief pause in the air, and then flew straight to the goal.

Al-Nassr was close to goal and even closer to Ma Junqiang. The hearts of the fans of the Chinese team are all in their throats, at such a close distance, if the goalkeeper can still pounce, it can only be said that it is like divine help!

However, at this moment, Ma Junqiang seems to really have the help of gods.

Earlier, Arteki rubbed the ball to the back post and Ma Junqiang followed suit, but Nasser's header was headed at the far post and was in the woodwork. Ma Junqiang's body center of gravity has long been deviated, even if he loses the ball, it is usually not the goalkeeper's responsibility, only the defender is not tight on the mark, ignoring the opponent's back players.

But Ma Junqiang did not give up. At the moment when Nasser hit the goal, he also made a save, and even if his body lost its center of gravity, he still relied on the instinctive reaction of a goalkeeper to lift the ball off the crossbar with one hand.

Suddenly, the Kuwaiti team members invariably made the same movement: their mouths were slightly open, their eyes widened, and their hands were pillowed on the back of their heads.

"Ma Junqiang has made another great contribution! I believe that Nasser made the Chinese fans very frightened just now, but fortunately, Ma Junqiang was there, and the dragon gate he guarded did not give the opponent any chance!"

Du Peng stepped forward and patted Ma Junqiang's back, and Zhao Wenkang, who returned to the penalty area, went to hug him. Gao Hongbo exhaled undecidedly, and secretly said in his heart, "It's dangerous."

Kuwait got a corner, but that wasn't what Tufigzic wanted, he wanted China to kick off in the centre circle. But Ma Junqiang's presence dashed his hopes.

The ball was driven into the box and Amir's header was too high to fly over the crossbar.

Tufigziฤ‡ asked Mohammed Rashid to warm up, and it seems that there is a plan for a replacement. But Rashid is a defender, you know, Kuwait is falling behind, what is he going to do with a defender?

The Chinese team still has no plans to make substitutions. Deng Zhuoxiang received the goal kick from Ma Junqiang and gave it to Yu Dahai, Yu Dahai wanted to give it to Li Mu, but he didn't pass it and was cut off, but fortunately Deng Zhuoxiang moved quickly and snatched the ball back.

Ten minutes into the second half, each side had one shot on goal, and Li Mu also scored a goal, but unfortunately it was offside and was ruled invalid. Then the game was a bit deadlocked, and the offensive was not organized for five minutes, and the Chinese team occupied more time on the ball, and the players looked for opportunities on the field.

In the 63rd minute, the Chinese team launched a very threatening attack, Zhang Shujie received Deng Zhuoxiang's diagonal stopper, dribbled past Amir, and was tripped by Waleed Ali as he leaned into the penalty area, winning a free kick for the Chinese team.

Taking advantage of this dead-ball phase, Tufigzic replaced Jarrah Ateki with Mohamed Rashid, replacing the midfielder with a defender. When Rashid came on the pitch, he told Waleed Ali to return to the wing-back position. That's the purpose of Tufigzic's substitutions, maintaining a back four and four midfielders.

The Chinese team did not care about Kuwait's substitutions, and their attention was on the free kick. This position is three metres outside the boundary between the two lines of the penalty area, and both passing and shooting are possible. Kuwait's players were nervous, goalkeeper Khalidi commanded the formation of the human wall, and Deng Zhuoxiang stood in front of the ball, ready to take the penalty.

"This free kick can be shot directly at the goal, and fans and friends who have an impression should remember that in June last year, Deng Zhuoxiang scored a free kick in a similar position in the match between the Chinese team and the French team. Today's ball position is closer, let's see if Deng Zhuoxiang can surprise us again. โ€

Kuwait's human wall has been lined up, the referee stands aside, after the whistle, Deng Zhuoxiang ran to the ball and hit the far post with his left foot, but was blocked by the human wall, Du Peng got the ball and passed it to Zhao Wenkang, who withdrew from the penalty area.

The free kick didn't go in, and the people in the box gradually dispersed and walked out of the box. At this time, Zhao Wenkang suddenly rubbed the ball high with the outside of his left foot, and the ball flew past all the Kuwaiti defenders in the air and flew towards Li Mu.

This caught Kuwait off guard, and Li Mu went up to meet the ball and formed a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. He was still thinking in his heart that there was no offside now.

This time he was indeed not offside, all four defenders of Kuwait retreated, Li Mu didn't care so much, the ball fell in front of him, he volleyed a cushion shot, the ball passed through Halliday's ten fingers, and went into the net!

2:0!The Chinese team leads by two goals!

"Li Mu finally scored! He expanded the score and further opened the lead of the Chinese team!" Liu Jianhong could finally shout loudly, Li Mu scored this goal without being picky.

Halliday slapped the turf hard and scolded in a low voice, "Damn it!"

Li Mu vibrated his arms and ran towards the corner kick area as before, this area of the stands is the area where the Chinese fans are, and Li Mu celebrated his goal with these lovely fans.

Zhao Wenkang, who assisted him, was the first to run to him, the two hugged each other, Zhang Shujie also came, the three hugged each other tightly, and then Yu Dahai and Deng Zhuoxiang also ran up, and all the players of the Chinese team were congratulating Li Mu.

Shen Hao laughed and said: "It's really beautiful! Li Mu's goal is also Zhao Wenkang's assist, counting the goal scored by Zhang Shujie before, Zhao Wenkang has two assists in this game." โ€

Chen Hui nodded, thoughtful: "Zhao Wenkang assisted, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu scored, and Ma Junqiang saved the opponent's must-score twice." Did you find out, it was the four foreign players who decided the game. โ€

Cao Weilin said: "Yes." The experience in Europe has helped them a lot in their growth, but the six returnees in the team, as well as Yan Tao and Xu Ziyi, are sitting on the bench. โ€

Shen Hao glanced at Zheng Dawei, Zheng Dawei was looking at the bench, Shen Hao also looked over, he saw Xu Ziyi and Yan Tao, the two boys were standing outside the bench excitedly applauding their teammates on the field!
