Chapter 268: Twins
Twenty-two minutes into the first half, the Chinese Olympic team led Saudi Arabia 1:0. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Saudis then put more effort into their attack in an attempt to get the score back before half-time.
The Saudi team is actually a very strong team, but their biggest failure is that they know too little about the new Chinese Olympic team. Anbar only knows that most of the Chinese Olympic team this year are newcomers, and many of them rarely even play in the club's first team, and they basically play youth team games. The only people he knew were Ma Junqiang, Xu Ziyi and Chen Zihua, but he still failed to analyze them in depth.
Ma Junqiang is a goalkeeper and is not in the tactical discussion. Anbar believes that as long as Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi are stared at, the Chinese team will not have another chance. The Chinese want to build a "dual core"? That is impossible.
In Anbar's eyes, it was the twin core of the Chinese team, but in Anrong's eyes, he preferred to call them "twins". This is a title that has been around since junior high school, and An Rong does not plan to change this title.
Ibrahim and Nawaf played a one-two past Chen Zihua, and the former took control of the ball, while Chen Zihua was still behind him, which was a successful one-two. Ibrahim thought he had dropped Chen Zihua, a thorn in his side, but Xu Ziyi suddenly squeezed past him. Nawaf reminded: "Captain, be careful!"
Ibrahim hadn't realized that Xu Ziyi had leaned over, and his teammate's reminder made him realize it. Xu Ziyi's scramble was extremely fierce, and it was completely different from when he organized the attack. Ibrahim is miserable, the No. 11 of the Chinese team, who can attack and defend, is completely an all-round midfielder.
He was originally an all-round midfielder who was both offensive and defensive!
Ibrahim led the ball to the side, this time avoiding Xu Ziyi's interception, but he couldn't push forward anymore, and now he can either continue to dribble sideways, backwards, or pass to teammates.
Nawaf and Yasya's teammates responded one after the other, and Yasia also raised his hand and shouted: "Captain, get the ball back!"
Ibrahim didn't dare to slack off, Xu Ziyi behind him had already come around, and if he didn't pass the ball, he was afraid that he would be forced to a dead end. At the moment when he got up, Chen Zihua came out from the side and hooked the ball from under his feet. Ibrahim missed the ball, kicked it into the air, and because Xu Ziyi's pressing made him unable to control his body, he fell crookedly on the turf.
He immediately looked at the referee, who knew what he was playing, raised his hands flat, and the game continued. Ibrahim frowned, got up from the ground, and threw himself into the game.
Liu Jianhong couldn't help but praise: "Perfect encirclement! Xu Ziyi and Chen Zihua blocked the front and back, so that the captain of the Saudi team had nothing to do! It seems that An Rong has no problems in the use of the two. Fans and friends may know that both players are from the high school league, but perhaps few people know that they were praised by the local media as the 'twins' of the midfield as early as the junior high school league!
An Rong looked at the two of them, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Song Weifeng said to An Rong: "I finally understand why you are still full of confidence in this National Olympic team without Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, it is because there are still 'twins'!"
An Rong smiled and said, "I never doubted the people I personally selected. ”
Song Weifeng looked at the court and sighed, "I won't doubt it either." ”
After Chen Zihua grabbed the ball, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball out immediately, just now the Saudi team's attack did not hit the frontcourt, and the formation did not press on a large scale, he decided to control the ball first and observe the movement of his teammates. Xu Ziyi had already rushed up, and Nawaf followed him to prevent Chen Zihua from passing the ball to him.
Chen Zihua is on the right side of the center, and Saudi Arabia is also paying more attention to China's right side. Huang Yu and Xiao Feng on the left stepped forward, and Huang Yu shouted in his mouth: "Andy!
His voice was loud and was heard by a lot of fans in the stands. Andy...... That is, Chen Zihua glanced at the left side and raised his right foot.
Huang Yu has a habit of giving nicknames to his teammates, especially those whose names are three words, and he finds it troublesome to call them by full names. For example, when he called Chen Zihua, he called him "Andy", called Liu Jianwei "Viagra", called Xiao Feng "helper", and Bai Shoushan's "Little San" was also the first to be shouted. As for Ma Junqiang, he has long known the nickname of the number one goalkeeper of the National Olympic team, but sometimes he is called "Lao Ma" instead of "Da Shuai".
Nicknames are not Huang Yu's patent, Chinese fans have also given nicknames to many foreign players, such as Ramos being called "Water Master", Pirlo being called "Sleeping Skin", Rooney being called "Little Fat" and so on. Huang Yu is a professional player and a fan, so it's not surprising that he nicknamed his teammates.
It's just that what Huang Yu didn't expect was that these nicknames he took not only spread quickly in the team, but also spread for many years, from the National Olympic team to the national team.
Getting back to the point, Chen Zihua's ball did not float to Huang Yu after it was passed, Huang Yu's loud shouting has attracted the attention of the Saudi players, Chen Zihua is not a stupid person, how could he pass the ball to him again. Huang Yu is also smart, he had expected how a midfield core like Chen Zihua could pass such an obvious ball.
So under his cover, Xiao Feng successfully received Chen Zihua's wonderful pass, Xiao Feng was very fast, and he almost ran wildly to dribble the ball along the sideline. But in the last moment, he went too big, and seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, he fell to the ground and slid the ball into the box with his left foot.
Such a pass is bound to be inaccurate, and Zarid has no trouble holding the ball in his hands.
Xiao Feng stood up and walked back, and made an apologetic gesture to Chen Zihua. Chen Zihua just smiled and walked back.
With fifteen minutes left in the game, Saudi Arabia still had a chance to pull the score back. Anbar, also unhappy with his team's defensive lapse on the left flank, walked out of the dugout, stood on the sidelines, and yelled at his players not to stabilize their formation and not to lean to one side.
An Rong is not in such a hurry, the players of the National Olympic team have not made any major mistakes for the time being, and there is no need for him to yell around, just play according to this trend.
The Saudi team learned the power of the "twins", and they still consciously walked on both sides. Nawaf split the ball to the left and Ibrahimm pulled it wide and unloaded it on the left. Chen Zihua wanted to intercept him, but Bai Shoushan said: "Andy, hand him over to me!"
Chen Zihua nodded and retreated to defend other Saudi players. This kind of exchange of defensive objects on the court is also one of the tactics, and it is not uncommon in regional defenses.
Bai Shoushan had seen Ibrahim several times before and had not taken advantage of Chen Zihua, thinking that this Saudi captain was not very good, so he wanted to single-handedly take it out. But he ignored a very key issue, Ibrahim's losses in the midfield were because the opponent was Chen Zihua.
Ibrahim was ready to break through from the right side, the posture was all set, Bai Shoushan stretched his legs to grab it, Chen Zihua saw that something was wrong, Ibrahim's action was made, but the center of gravity of his body did not change, this was a fake action.
"Little San, don't make a move, be careful not to fall for him!"
Chen Zihua shouted, but Bai Shoushan had already stepped out. Ibrahim smashed the ball from the left side and stepped on the sideline to dunk over Baishou Mountain. Bai Shoushan scolded secretly: "Oops, fooled!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and chased back. Ibrahim leaned on him with his body and slowly moved forward with the ball. Chen Zihua was guarding against another Saudi team member, Yasya, and wanted to help, but saw Yasia speed up and ran to the front, and Chen Zihua had to follow.
Ibrahim passed, the ball grazed Yuan Chengye's hair and flew into the penalty area, and the tall Li Yongxuan stuck to Hassan Saud, making him unable to jump. But Ibrahim didn't want to pass it to him, the No. 6 of the Chinese team reached 1.9 meters tall, and the ball in the air must be avoided by him.
Ahmed grabbed the header and Ma made a save, blocking the ball beyond the goal line. Nawaf made up the shot, but was interfered with by Xu Ziyi again, the ball was kicked a little softly, and Tang Ling rushed up and kicked it towards the outside of the penalty area.
The ball hit Ibrahim's back and bounced to the left side of the penalty area, Huang Yu got the ball, and when he saw Chen Zihua asking for the ball, he gave it to him. Ibrahim leaned over and approached with teammate Yasya, and the Saudi team planned to use two people to snatch Chen Zihua's ball on the spot and attack again.
Chen Zihua is one meter outside the penalty area line, this position is more dangerous, if you lose the ball, there is no need to talk about how serious the consequences are. In the face of the two-person bag, Chen Zihua is also cautious and careful, first protect the ball.
Xu Ziyi flashed past him, Chen Zihua knocked, and the ball leaked through the small door of Asia and leaked to Xu Ziyi's feet. Yaxia was relatively close to Xu Ziyi, and abandoned Chen Zihua and chased to Xu Ziyi, and in front of Xu Ziyi, there was also a Nawaf.
Chen Zihua was not far away from him to protect, and Xiao Feng answered on the right side. Xu Ziyi stepped on the ball and turned around, first dodging Nawaf's pressing, then flicking to the side, and avoiding Yasya's steal. But he didn't break out of the two, just a little gap, but it was enough for him to pass the ball.
With a gentle rub of the outside of the left foot, the ball went to Chen Zihua's feet. Ibrahim wanted to take advantage of Chen Zihua's failure to adjust his position to poke the ball to his teammates, but Chen Zihua took a step back and pulled the ball with the soles of his feet, but Ibrahim had already pasted it.
But at this moment, Chen Zihua showed his excellent sense of the ball, the moment he fell to the ground, he picked up his right foot, and the ball flew over Ibrahim, Nawaf and Asia, and flew towards Xu Ziyi like a rainbow.
Raising her foot and hooking, Xu Ziyi stopped the ball steadily. The fans at the scene applauded the wonderful cooperation of the two players, and Liu Jianhong also said: "It's the 'twins' again, their individual technical ability in a small area makes it impossible for Saudi players to guard against it!"
Wang Shihan praised from the stands: "The cooperation just now is really wonderful! This is called art." ”
'Of course, it's not about who is in possession. Zhou Ying said with a smile.
Wang Shihan covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "I see, it's Xu Ziyi who is controlling the ball." ”
"You're going to deliberately raise the bar with me, aren't you?"
"Okay, I'm messing around with you. Watch the ball, watch the ball. ”
The twins controlled the midfield, and the national Olympic team also grasped the initiative in attacking. In the 40th minute, Chen Zihua passed a good ball to Wu Lei, but unfortunately Wu Lei's shot was too positive and was saved by Zared, Liu Jianwei stepped forward to make up for the shot, and it was a little slower, and Zarid held the ball in his arms.
The first half was almost over, and it seemed that the Chinese team was going to walk into the locker room with a one-goal advantage. However, An Rong was still careful to tell the players not to be careless on the sidelines, these players were too young, it was the first time to play such an important game, An Rong was worried that these teenagers would let their guard down at the last moment, and if they conceded a goal, it would be worth the loss.
His worries are not unreasonable, throughout the world football, it is not uncommon for the opponent to score goals in stoppage time or close to stoppage time in the game, not to mention that the Chinese team still has "stains" in this regard, with these previous convictions, it is no wonder that An Rong will ask the players to have a more heart.
In the 45th minute of the game, the Saudi team won a corner kick, and captain Ibrahim took the penalty. The young players of the National Olympic team don't seem to take this corner kick to heart, the scoring rate of corner kicks is not very high, and there is a tall man like Li Yongxuan in the team, everyone seems to think that the Saudi team will not have a chance. Especially the defenders in the team, Tang Ling also made a yellow joke with Yuan Chengye with a smile.
Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi told everyone to pay attention. Ma Junqiang also clapped his hands and shouted loudly to the defenders: "Pay attention to defense, don't lose the ball at this time!"
As a person who plays in Europe, he has seen the world and is more concerned about some seemingly inconsequential links.
Huang Yu said: "Don't worry, Dashuai, with Ah Xuan here, they can't top it." I don't believe we were so unlucky and conceded at the end of the first half. ”
"If you lose the ball, I'll be the first to clean you up. ”
"Okay, if this happens, you can scold me casually!"
Xu Ziyi slapped him on the back of the neck: "Don't crow's mouth, defend quickly!" After speaking, the referee blew the whistle and Ibrahim took the ball.
