Chapter 1098: Time is Running Out
The camera showed the Chinese team outside the bench, Yang Wei and Yuan Chengye were already standing on the sidelines waiting to play, as long as the game was interrupted, the two would appear on the stage.
"We see that Yuan Chengye and Yang Wei are now preparing to play, and it seems that An Rong is planning to replace Tang Ling and Huang Yu. He Wei said guessingly.
Xu Yang said: "Judging from the position of these people, it should be that Huang Yu and Tang Ling will be replaced, and it is impossible to replace Zhao Wenkang and Xu Zhixin and then let Yuan Chengye and Yang Wei, the two fullbacks, play as fullbacks, right? ”
Although the Chinese team's passing control has reached the point of perfection, it will not be so strong that the England team will not even be able to touch the ball in the remaining nearly 30 minutes.
Dyer cut off the pass from the Chinese team in midfield and handed the ball to Ali, who were confident that they could advance to the quarter-finals in order to save energy in order to ensure that they had enough energy for the rest of the game - 3-0 in hand.
Ali split the ball, Sterling got the ball and tried to stuff it to Stones, who had run in front, but was blocked by Xu Zhixin, Sturridge withdrew to get the ball, and then gave it to Kane, ran to the front court himself, and Kane gave the ball back to him.
England hit the back of the Chinese team with a beautiful wall-hitting combination, but Sturridge was not facing the goal, he is now on the right side of the penalty area, if you want to force a shot, you can't help but be a little remote, the angle is still very small, and it is not so easy to score the ball.
Fortunately, Sturridge didn't do anything, he knocked the ball horizontally to Dyer, Dyer picked it again, the ball fell behind Liang Xiran, and flew towards Stones, Liang Xiran hurriedly chased back, trying his best to jam Stones' passing angle.
Stones was very close to the bottom line after receiving the ball, he rubbed the ball up with his right foot, Liang Xiran raised his leg and failed to block the ball, the ball fell to the back of the Chinese team's goal, Kane jumped up to head the goal, and the goal was close to the goal.
In fact, the Chinese team is not very worried about conceding goals now, after all, they are already three goals ahead, but they definitely don't want to concede goals. Leaving aside the fact that "zero caption" sounds good, if England really pulled a goal back to boost the opponent's morale, it is not a joke.
Kane's header was very close, and Ma Junqiang almost relied on the goalkeeper's instinct to make a save, and actually saved the ball with one palm on the goal line.
When He Wei saw it, he praised it: "Ma Junqiang, this is really a super god! He can save this kind of close-range header at the back point, to be honest, I thought they could score a goal at the moment Kane hit the goal, but Ma Junqiang extinguished their little hope." ”
Xu Yang said: "If England lose this game, then I think they really lost unjustly. On defense, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu can't be defended, and Ma Junqiang's ten fingers can't be broken on the offensive line. ”
Dier was about to go to a corner for England, but the referee called a timeout because China needed to make a substitution. The fourth official raised the LCD sign for substitution, Tang Ling and Huang Yu went down, and Yuan Chengye and Yang Wei went up.
"Sure enough, we want to replace Tang Ling and Huang Yu, and we want to replace Yuan Chengye and Yang Wei. With the departure of Huang Yu and Tang Ling, among the main eleven members of the Chinese team, only Ma Junqiang has not been replaced. ”
Xu Yang said with a smile: "Ma Junqiang is a goalkeeper, which is a very special position, and there will not be too much physical exertion." Generally speaking, if there are no injuries, the manager rarely changes the goalkeeper unless there is really an additional tactical arrangement. ”
"Yes, it's like Krul of the Netherlands at the World Cup in Brazil, who came on to save a penalty. ”
An Rong replaced two people in one go, repeating his situation against the Polish team. He still has a substitution spot now, and he plans to replace Zhao Wenkang in ten minutes.
Southgate still has two substitutions in his hand, and he intends to give the second place to Barkley, and as for the third, he is also a little hesitant to give it to whom. He is a little envious of the Chinese team, with a three-goal lead, he can take a substitution in the opposite position, and he doesn't need to make too many adjustments, so that more substitute teams can get the opportunity to play.
Dyer's corner kick went directly to the penalty area, Ali grabbed the header, but he failed to form an attack under the defense of Yang Wei and Liang Xiran, and the ball flew into the air and was confiscated by Ma Junqiang.
******************
Shen Hao stretched out in the press box, looking very leisurely. Yes, there are about 20 minutes left in the game, and the time is getting less and less, and the Chinese team can be said to be victorious. The Chinese fans in the stands sang "Singing the Motherland" to heat up the atmosphere at the scene, and Shen Hao found that the Chinese fans in this cup were more enthusiastic than in the previous one. The reason is probably because this year's China is too strong, so strong that there is a reason for every Chinese fan to look forward to the Hercules Cup.
Although there is not much change between this session and the previous session in terms of personnel, the only change may be that Xu Zhixin has taken the main position. But these players have become more mature than they were four years ago, with the exception of the young Xu Zhixin, each of whom is in his prime, and in the past four years they have won numerous titles and swept major awards in European clubs. From all angles, this is the best and possibly the only chance for the Chinese team to win the championship.
So, how can the fans not be enthusiastic?
*******************
Zhang Shujie's shot in the penalty area was saved by Joe Hart outside the bottom line, his shot was not too powerful, but used ingenuity to pocket a far corner, if it wasn't for Joe Hart's good position, Zhang Shujie would have scored twice. Even so, Joe Hart was taken aback, admitting that there was some luck in saving the ball.
The Chinese team also got a corner. Attentive Chinese fans have already spotted a problem, and that is that in the second half, the two sides did not get a free kick in the 40-meter area, and even fouls were rare. This is probably because the Chinese team, which scored three goals, slowed down the pace of attack, while England, who were three goals behind, were a little overwhelmed.
Zhao Wenkang's corner kick was punished to the penalty area, Yan Tao's header hit the goal, which was blocked by Cahill with his body and blocked to the outside of the penalty area, Yuan Chengye got the ball, and Xu Zhixin fell back and forth twice, and then knocked it to Li Mu. Li Mu is now on the right side, he stopped the ball and wiped the soles of his feet, wiped past Dyer, and at the same time knocked the outside of his left foot horizontally, and flashed in front of Sturridge, Sturridge pasted it, Li Mu made a real feint to trick Sturridge into raising his feet with his back, but Li Mu moved from him to a farther place.
He looked at Joe Hart's position, then picked up his left leg and hit the door!
