Chapter 1178: Efficient Counterattack

The free-kick wasn't directly on goal, but it wasn't very diagonal either, and at a distance of 28 metres, it wasn't impossible to shoot. Neymar put the ball away, and the Chinese team was lining up the wall.

Zhang Shujie came back, he, Li Mu and Zhao Wenkang together discharged a three-person human wall, and the other team members retreated to the arc of the penalty area, waiting to grab points. Brazil's two centre-backs also came up and joined the race for the top, but their purpose was different from that of the Chinese defenders. The Chinese team is going to clear the siege, and the Brazilian team is going to attack the goal.

Ma Junqiang looked back and forth between the two goalposts, and the wall was well aligned, not blocking his view, and he also retreated to the goal, waiting for the Brazilian team to drive the ball in.

Neymar is ready to wait for the referee to blow the whistle and he can pass the ball into the box or hit the ball himself. The referee looked at the Chinese team's human wall and saw that the three of them did not move forward secretly, so he blew the whistle in his mouth.

Neymar runs and takes a free throw, and his inside right foot kicks the ball into the lower middle of the ball, and the wall jumps, and the ball goes around the wall and falls into the far corner of the goal.

Neymar's ball is very weird, and it is an inner arc hanging, and anyone who touches the ball may rub into the goal, which also makes it difficult for Chinese players to defend. However, if the ball is in front of you, the players of the Chinese team cannot let it go.

Yan Tao jumped high in the crowd, pressed against Thiago Silva next to him, and fought hard to push the ball out with his head, the ball jumped over the crossbar and landed on top of the net, and Brazil won a corner.

"Neymar's free-kick was ruined by Yan Tao. Yan Tao is very smart about the ball, he didn't use his forehead, head or anything like to top it, because this kind of inward rotating ball really touched, it was easy to hit his own goal, Yan Tao chose to use the top of his head to push the ball directly out of the bottom line. ”

The corner kick was replaced by Willian, and no matter how powerful the chain method is, it cannot be used in set-pieces, so the Brazilian team values every set-piece. In fact, even if the Chinese team gets a set-piece, it will also be very important, strong and strong, set-piece is a very important means of scoring, otherwise there will not be so many set-piece tactics.

Neymar still sent the ball to the penalty area, and Liang Xiran was the first to reach the ball and go to six places outside the penalty area. Since all the players of the Chinese team are now back in the penalty area, and Zhang Shujie is also here, there is no one outside the penalty area, only the Brazilian players are there, Coutinho stepped forward to receive the ball and passed it to Casemiro, who withdrew from the penalty area, and Casemiro then gave it to Neymar, who had moved to the end corner of the penalty area.

Neymar took advantage of the fact that the Chinese players had just left the penalty area, and the "defensive chain" had not been fully opened, and immediately cut to the middle with the ball. The Brazilian is a delicate man with his feet, cutting past Li Mu, Chen Zihua and Xu Zhixin, and glancing at Ma's position, picking up his left leg and firing from three metres outside the box.

When the ball flew into the small penalty area, it bounced on the ground, which caused some difficulty and impact on Ma Junqiang's save, but fortunately Ma Junqiang reacted quickly enough, after the ball bounced, he pounced on the ball with his right palm, and the ball jumped diagonally to the outside of the goalpost and jumped towards the bottom line.

Brazil seemed to be about to get another corner, at which point Liang Xiran immediately ran up, and when the ball pressed the bottom line, he turned and kicked the ball to the sideline, and the ball flew far in the air, close to the center circle, and flew outside the sideline.

Gabriel Jesus pleaded to the referee that the ball had gone off the line before Liang cleared the ball and it should have been a corner. The referee consulted the baseline referee and determined that the ball was not out of bounds, did not form a corner, but a throw-in that was far from the goal.

Xu Yang said with a smile: "Liang Xiran is reluctant to give a corner kick to the Brazilian team anymore, and would rather send a throw-in." ”

He Wei said: "Liang Xiran's approach is right, the defender should try to minimize the pressure on the goalkeeper and minimize the threat of the opponent's attack. A throw-in from such a distance is certainly less threatening than a corner. ”

Paulinho tossed the ball to Casemiro, who then crossed to Alves. So far, Alves has not stepped in to attack, which is also related to the Brazilian team's main side of Marcelo, and now that the ball is at Alves' feet, he naturally has to make a little contribution to the Brazilian team in attack.

Alves rushed forward with the ball, Xu Zhixin defended him by his side, and Chen Zihua also came to assist, and the chain of the Chinese team's midfield and backfield was quickly opened. Alves didn't have a good way to break through for a while, so he had to pass the ball to Coutinho, who then passed to Marcelo on the left, and Brazil's attack shifted from the right to the middle.

However, the two "iron chains" of the Chinese team also moved from the right side of the Brazilian team to the left side, blocking Marcelo's offensive line, but Marcelo used his excellent skills to force Zhao Wenkang, but Tang Ling and Xu Ziyi immediately overwhelmed him, and Zhao Wenkang also chased forward, and Marcelo soon fell into the bag of the three.

The Chinese team's defense line did not appear messy, and the chain was straight. An Rong had long expected that the Brazilian team would focus on attack, so he put a lot of effort into defense, and An Rong firmly believed that the Chinese team's defense line was not afraid of any positional warfare.

Marcelo passed the ball to Paulinho, Paulinho picked up Neymar, Yan Tao caught up and stuck in front of Neymar, a header was given to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi knocked it to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua immediately split sides and passed to Xu Zhixin.

Xu Zhixin stopped the ball, Alves immediately chased back, Huang Yu plugged in beside him, and rushed to the backfield of the Brazilian team first, William went back to the defense, if he didn't help, Alves would face the impact of Xu Zhixin and Huang Yu alone, even if Alves was strong, he couldn't beat the two of them.

Xu Zhixin has already passed the ball, the ball flew to the front, Huang Yufeng rushed towards the falling ball, this side of the Brazilian team is empty, but no one dares to step forward to block at will, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi in the middle must be followed, otherwise, any of these four people have the possibility of breaking the goal.

"The counterattack of the Chinese team is very efficient! The Brazilian team has no choice now, and the gap left by Alves' assist was taken advantage of by Huang Yu!"

Huang Yu controlled the ball, he glanced at the middle, and suddenly passed diagonally to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie also suddenly accelerated, and he was still behind Thiago Silva, out of a parallel position to Silva. He stopped the ball with his right foot in the big penalty area, Silva didn't dare to open his arms, only dared to squeeze Zhang Shujie with his shoulder, and at the same time stretched out his foot, intending to block Zhang Shujie's shooting route!
