After a round of passes in the outer circle of the Chinese team, the ball returned to the feet of Dybala, because Messi's position was a little pulled to the left at this time, so Dybala actually became a striker, but he was a little farther away from the penalty area, and it was definitely not possible to shoot. He passed the ball to Correa, who was holding the ball and observing the position of his teammates, and the midfielders of the Chinese team did it one by one, ensuring that each position had its own people.

Correa was a little hesitant, thinking about who it would be better to pass the ball to, but in the moment of his hesitation, Li Mu approached from behind him, stabbed sideways, and stabbed the ball into the distance, Chen Zihua hurriedly stepped forward to take the ball and knocked it to Xu Ziyi next to him.

The Chinese team grabbed the ball, because Argentina's formation is relatively high, the backfield space is large, and this is also a good time for the Chinese team to counterattack. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sampaoli shouted from the sidelines: "Grab back, grab back!"

Sampaoli's idea is good, the Argentine players did implement the pressure in the midfield, Guido Rodriguez forced in front of Xu Ziyi, but Xu Ziyi knocked the ball to Tang Ling, Dybala pressed to Tang Ling's side, Tang Ling made a mid-distance pass, and passed the ball directly to Zhao Wenkang on the side from the backfield. Zhao Wenkang took the ball with his left foot, cut out a little gap, and then used his left foot to make an outer arc, and the ball flew straight to Zhang Shujie.

Zhang Shujie chased the ball quickly, and the Argentine defenders also quickly retreated, and finally Zhang Shujie stopped the ball near the right end outside the penalty area.

He Wei said: "The Chinese team's counterattack is really fast, and after passing three feet, the ball is handed over to the front court. ”

Sampaoli shook his head from the sidelines, his counter-robbery didn't seem to have any effect, but he still let the Chinese team's offense play. But Sang Baoli still found a detail, that is, when Zhao Wenkang took the ball, Yuan Chengye, who was also on the right side, did not insert it in time, so that if Zhao Wenkang wanted to pass the ball forward, he could only find Zhang Shujie. Of course, it can also be passed to Li Mu and Huang Yu, but the distance is too far, and when the ball flies to them, Argentina's defense is almost in place.

It is precisely because Yuan Chengye failed to assist in the front court that the Argentine defenders do not need to be distracted, and only need to focus on Zhang Shujie alone. Although Zhang Shujie's skills are extraordinary, he can bring as little as possible in this kind of counteroffensive, and bringing too much will delay the rhythm of the game. It's just that now there is no player next to Zhang Shujie, after he took the ball, he first deducted Fazio, and then shook the ball past Rojo, he couldn't take it anymore, and then he would either lean towards the bottom line, or he would be encircled.

Yuan Chengye ran up at this time, he was a little late, and Argentina had already laid out the defensive line. Zhang Shujie handed the ball to him, he looked at the penalty area, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi and Li Mu had been outflanked in place, Yuan Chengye crossed with his feet, the ball was pushed out by Otamendi, Zhao Wenkang stopped the ball and passed to Chen Zihua.

Chen Zihua controlled the ball horizontally on the periphery, Mascherano came up to force the defense, Chen Zihua strode forward, pulled the ball with his left foot and then swiped it diagonally, squeezed Mascherano behind him, Padres came to assist Mascherano, at this time Chen Zihua gently rubbed the ball on the outside of his right foot, and the ball slipped between Padres and Fazio against the turf, slipped to the penalty area, and slipped in front of Zhang Shujie.

"What a ball! Chen Zihua's pass is very beautiful, very sudden! Zhang Shujie ushered in an opportunity!"

The moment Zhang Shujie started, Romero also followed, the ball came to the big penalty area, Zhang Shujie also arrived in front of the ball, and Romero was also very close to the ball.

Zhang Shujie tensed the instep of his left foot, the arch of his foot exerted force, a clever bounce, the ball flew to the far corner of the goal, Romero did not save the ball, and looked back at the goal when he fell to the ground. Under the nervousness of the Argentine players and fans, the ball grazed the post and rolled off the line.

In the stands, the Chinese fans all hugged their heads with regret, and Wang Shihan, who had already stood up in advance, saw that the ball did not score, and sat down sullenly. Argentine fans don't have too many facial expressions, but they are inevitably frightened by Zhang Shujie's shot.

He Wei said: "Zhang Shujie's kick almost opened the scoring for the Chinese team, about ten centimeters. This was the first attack of the Chinese team in the whole game, and they got a threatening goal. ”

Xu Yang said: "Chen Zihua's pass is so good, it looks like there is no space and no loopholes, and as soon as he knocks it, the opportunity will come out." ”

Zhang Shujie shook his head with a wry smile and gave Chen Zihua a thumbs up. Sampaoli stood motionless on the sidelines, looking very calm. God knows if he was frightened by Zhang Shujie's shot just now.

Romero took a goal kick and the ball fell into the centre circle, Mascherano headed it in, and Rojo got the second point and crossed to Fazio, who in turn gave it to Paredes in front right.

Paredes dribbled the ball past from the side, Xu Zhixin came up to intercept, Paredes took a few steps sideways, knocked to Dybala, and Dybala gave the ball to Messi. Argentina still decided to find a breakthrough from the right side of the Chinese team, after all, this is the weakest link of the Chinese team on the field.

Tang Ling leaned a little to the right to assist Yuan Chengye according to the instructions, but this time Zhao Wenkang had not yet attacked the front, and he and Yuan Chengye's position was relatively close. He motioned to Tang Ling, saying that this time he would come to assist. Tang Ling understood Zhao Wenkang's gesture, and after running a few steps, he stepped back a little and retreated to his central defender position.

Xu Ziyi came from the middle to the right to fill the vacancy of Zhao Wenkang; Li Mu retreated to the midfield to fill the vacancy of Xu Ziyi; Zhang Shujie also withdrew a little behind, but not deeply, mainly to ensure the connection with the midfield, not to be disjointed. In this way, the entire defensive formation of the Chinese team did not appear chaotic, and the number of midfielders involved in defense was always equal to the number of Argentine midfielders.

An Rong clearly saw this subtle adjustment made by the players themselves on the sidelines, and he was very satisfied. The situation on the pitch is changing all the time and you can't just follow what the manager says. Just like just now, Zhao Wenkang is much closer to Messi and Yuan Chengye than Tang Ling, so he is the most suitable person to go back to assist Yuan Chengye, Tang Ling only needs to hold the middle lane. The other players also did their part to defend the Argentine players.

Messi took two steps and knocked the ball to Guido Rodriguez, who had cut in from behind, and at this point Rodriguez had gone down and Messi moved towards the penalty area. Yuan Chengye went up to jam Rodriguez's passing route, and Zhao Wenkang followed Messi.
