Chapter 1135: Fifteen Minutes Left

Zhang Shujie got up at the end corner of the penalty area and passed the ball to the back of the penalty area, Li Mu grabbed this point, but don't be too happy, he didn't get the opportunity to attack the goal, Mustafi caused great interference to him by his side, the ball flew high and fell behind him, Gundogan quickly pushed the ball out, Gomez and Yan Tao grabbed the ball, the ball was closer to Yan Tao, he took two steps back, and a header was given to Bai Shoushan who came back to respond.

Bai Shoushan gave the ball to Li Yongxuan, and Li Yongxuan gave it to Chen Zihua, and Chen Zihua passed it to Xu Ziyi. At present, the Chinese team can only reverse its feet outside the German team's penalty area to see if it can find loopholes in the opponent's defense line in the pass.

"Xu Yang, I found that the Chinese team was in the same situation as the German team before it. It's hard to get the ball to your teammates in the box, so you have to put your feet on the outside. ”

"Yes. The current German team and the Chinese team have one thing in common, they both attach great importance to the defensive line. This overtime is very special, and if you play back and forth, these players who have already consumed a lot of energy will feel even more tired. Maybe the opening or even the first half of overtime was good, but in the second half, this fitness problem will be completely exposed, if it is a counterattack and does not come back when it is the turn to defend, it is really a dead end. ”

"Yes, that's right. Therefore, many teams are relatively slow when they play overtime, and there will be no one who attacks one wave and one attack, everyone is seeking stability. To put it mildly, now that it's extra time, everyone has to be ready for a penalty shootout. ”

"Yes, I believe the managers of both teams have this idea. In extra time, I can score a goal, and if I can't, then let's fight for life and death in the penalty shootout. ”

**********************

At this time, the ball was at the feet of Zhang Shujie again. He looked at his defensive teammates in front of him, and then looked at his teammates around him, in the same position as the last cross, he gently knocked the ball to the bottom line, Chen Zihua quickly unloaded and caught the ball, under the pressure of the other two, he barely passed the ball to the goal, but he fell out of the bottom line, Li Mu rushed over to grab the point, Neuer rushed in front of him and knocked the ball out of the penalty area.

The ball fell in front of Xu Zhixin, Xu Zhixin slashed his leg and shot at the goal, he didn't play at a very good angle, it happened to be in the range of Neuer's save, so although Neuer was not able to fully stand up, he still confiscated the ball.

The Chinese players started to retreat, and Neuer waited for everyone to withdraw from the box before passing the ball out. He didn't kick it off, but gave it to Hector on the wing. The Chinese team's defense line is still a little back, reducing the defensive radius and saving physical strength, which is a relatively good choice in overtime.

Like the Chinese team, the German team's attack was also smooth in front, and when it came to within 40 meters, it was difficult to take a step forward, and the backward foot seemed to be the only option. Or find an opportunity to shoot from distance, and when extra-time begins, the few shots on goal from both sides are completed from outside the box.

As soon as Kroos handed the ball to Muller, the referee's whistle blew and the first half of extra time was over. According to the rules of football matches, there is no halftime in extra time, and the second half is directly exchanged for the second half. However, the referee usually gives the players a little time to drink and rest on the sidelines, and the manager will also arrange the second half for a short time. After all, everyone is tired after the game has been played so far, and the referee can't be so inhumane.

Zhang Shujie took the mineral water handed by the staff on the sidelines and drank half of it in one go. An Rong looked at the disciples, everyone gasping for breath. "I know you're very tired, and your overall distance is much greater than that of the German team," he said. That's why I'm not forcing you to play a quick counter-attack, but you have to keep the score, and if you have the chance, you can hit a wave of counter-attacks, understand?"

"Understood!" the team replied gasping. The bottle of mineral water never left the hand.

On the German side, Loew's request was similar to An Rong's: "Defend solidly, and then find a way to attack." It's a special time and defense comes first. I don't want to see you concede goals in the second half of extra-time because of your lack of energy, so you have to intercept every goal they score. You know what?"

"Got it!" the German player also gasped in response to Loew's words.

The referee told the players of both teams to hurry into the field, and the second half was about to begin. The two teams exchanged venues, and the second half of extra time is often the most critical, because many of the goals conceded in extra time came from the second half, and it is difficult to say what the reason is, but most people think that it is still related to physical strength, and the later the game, the less physical reserves, which is an indisputable fact.

Zhang Shujie kicked off in the middle circle and passed to Li Mu, Li Mu wanted to knock back Chen Zihua, but saw that the German team did not press too much, only Gomez came alone, so Li Mu decided to take two more steps, Gomez stood alone in the half of the Chinese team, and did not expect him to grab the ball, he was four meters away from Li Mu, and saw Li Mu passing by and did not fight. However, this is also the habit of strikers, unless they are very close, few strikers will take the initiative to stick to the opponent to grab the ball.

Li Mu took the ball through the half court and called the ball to Zhang Shujie in front, Zhang Shujie turned around and pushed Kroos away, opened a gap, and then knocked the ball to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua gave it to Tang Ling, Tang Ling observed the situation on the field and passed the ball to Xu Ziyi.

The Chinese team didn't make much effort to attack the frontcourt, but it was impossible to go so easily.

The Chinese team can only reverse the foot, Tang Ling tried to hoist the ball into the penalty area once, but was pushed out by the German defender, Xu Ziyi got the ball, and the ball was still here in the Chinese team.

Xu Ziyi passed the ball to Li Mu, who came back to answer, and Li Mu gave it to Xu Zhixin, Xu Zhixin controlled it a few times, and then passed it back to him. He passed the ball to the penalty area again and looked for Zhang Shujie, but the ball was pushed out by the German player again.

He Wei said: "In the face of this kind of dense defense, the Chinese team does not have many solutions. Of course, this is not to blame the Chinese team, in fact, the world can't find many ways to face the formation like a bus, either long-range shots or crosses, but the success rate is actually not high. ”

Xu Yang said: "That's right. Even if Zhao Wenkang is in this scene, there is no guarantee that the ball will be passed to the Chinese players in the crowd, and good long passing skills do not mean that they can succeed every time. Including Beckham back then, there were also many crosses that were broken by opponents. ”

He Wei smiled: "Let's not talk about Beckham, look at Kroos of the German team, the long pass is also a well-known figure in today's football, and he can't put the ball on Gomez's head in this situation." Zhao Wenkang's words, half a catty, eight taels. ”

Zhang Shujie hit the goal with his left foot 23 meters from the goal, which was saved by Neuer, and Mustafi got the ball and passed it to Hector, who in turn passed to Reuss in front. At this time, Tang Ling had just withdrawn from the position a little ahead, there was no one in front of Reuss, and the German team's counterattack could be played.
