Chapter 348: Last Minute
The Chinese Olympic team fell behind by two goals, only three minutes after the last goal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Shihan sat on the sofa weakly.
As a spectator, she is still like this, and the player is probably even more helpless.
Liu Jianhong's somewhat dry voice came from the TV: "Now that Mexico has scored again, the Chinese Olympic team is 1:3 behind, and the situation is very unfavorable to the National Olympic team, because there is not much time left." β
The TV was replaying Mexico's goal, with EnrΓquez moving to the side and crossing, and Peralta pressed Yan Tao to get a header and put the ball into the net. Ma Junqiang can't do anything at such a close distance, and if he is replaced by any goalkeeper, I am afraid it will be difficult to save this header.
Zhang Shujie kicked the ball to the center line with his foot, and Li Mu walked up and said, "This is really a big trouble." β
"That's no way, we can't just give up because of this, let's hope for a miracle to happen. Zhang Shujie said slowly.
Chen Hui and a group of full-time reporters in the press gallery all frowned with solemn expressions. It's not easy to come back from two goals down.
After the Chinese team kicked off, they went all out on the offensive, and they did it without reservation. Mexico, with two goals in hand, can defend boldly, and there are very few coaches who will continue to attack with a two-goal lead and just over ten minutes left, and neither will Turner. Take a look at the warm-up area, both of Mexico's warm-up players are defensive players.
An Rong also called Xiao Feng to warm up. Counting Wu Xiao, the two players of the Chinese team who are warming up are mainly attacking.
Needless to say, the rest of the game will be played by both sides in one offensive and one defensive phase.
An Rong let Zhao Wenkang's position advance and play the right forward, Xu Ziyi went to the middle, Li Muding went to the front, resumed his identity as a striker, and partnered with Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua was still on the left side, unchanged.
The formation of the Chinese team changed to a rare 4-1-3-2, with Bai Shoushan playing alone in the back. But judging from Xiao Feng and Wu Xiao, who warmed up, Bai Shoushan is likely to be replaced.
Xu Ziyi stuffed the ball in the middle and was blocked outside the penalty area by the iron bucket-like Mexican defense, Xu Ziyi strode up, picked up his left foot and shot a long shot from 22 yards away, and was stopped by Jimenez with ****.
The ball was still bouncing in the penalty area, Zhang Shujie rushed up to make up for the shot, but because he and Miel kicked together, he didn't kick the ball out, the ball bounced into the air, Chen Zihua pressed Salcido, jumped up to head the goal, and was blown a push foul by the referee.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the referee blows it or not, the goal didn't score anyway. The whistle was blown, but it was delayed.
Chen Zihua walked out of the penalty area and scolded in his mouth: "Damn! Blow the whistle, the ball is in their place, just kick off the ball." β
Zhang Shujie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's okay, there's still some time." β
Chen Zihua didn't speak, and wiped the sweat on his face with his clothes.
The Chinese Olympic team was replaced, No. 18 Wu Xiaoshang, No. 17 Bai Shoushanxia. Mexico are also making substitutions, with No. 6 Herrera replacing No. 10 dos Santos.
An Rong asked Wu Xiao to go up to his center, and told Zhang Shujie and Li Mu to tell the two to pull away a little from both sides. Of course, Wu Xiao is the center forward to attract firepower, and the real attack points of the three forwards are still here with Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.
Mexico's big foot to the front of the court was quickly obtained by the Chinese team, they only have one Peralta in the front, which is used to contain the Chinese team's defense, and there is no other use. His team-mates have long been cowering near the penalty area, and at the moment Peralta is completely disconnected from the midfield, it is not difficult to see that Mexico no longer intends to attack.
Chen Zihua divided the ball on the left side, and the space was too small after Li Mu stopped, and it was not suitable to pass, bring, and shoot, so he had to pass back to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua stabilized and handed it to Huang Yu.
Now there may be a little less people on the two wings, Huang Yu crossed to the penalty area, the three forwards and several defenders of Mexico were competing for the top, and finally it was the goalkeeper Corona who touched the ball, but he didn't take it off, hit the ball out with both fists, Yan Tao grabbed the ball six yards outside the penalty area, he saw that the front was densely packed with people, and blocked the Mexican goal, so he passed to the side again, this time to Zhao Wenkang.
Liu Jianhong said with a little anxiety: "Mexico's defense is indeed very tight, and the Chinese team can only see if they can find some opportunities from the side." β
Zhao Wenkang crossed, Zhang Shujie was the first to grab the point, hit the goal with a header, and hit Corona's chest, Miel hurriedly cleared the ball with his big foot and desperately kicked the ball over the middle line, there were no Mexican players here, not even Peralta.
Liang Xiran stopped the ball without any hesitation, and passed it to the front court again and gave it to Xu Ziyi.
Since the game did not reach the dead ball, An Rong and Turner couldn't change people if they wanted to, so they could only continue to warm up. The ball had been passed to Xu Ziyi's feet by Tang Ling, Tang Ling wanted to cross, but it was estimated that it might not be easy to pass in, so he handed it to Zhao Wenkang, Zhao Wenkang gave it back to Xu Ziyi, and Xu Ziyi gave it to Chen Zihua.
There are still a lot of people in the penalty area, every Mexican player is eyeing the Chinese player who has the ball, Chen Zihua tried to pass a kick, but was pushed out by Enriquez, and gave it to Chen Zihua without bias, Chen Zihua did not stop the ball, and gave it to Xu Ziyi.
The ball jumped on the ground, and Herrera, who had just come on the court, relied on his physical strength and wanted to shovel the ball out before Xu Ziyi caught the ball, but Xu Ziyi made an unexpected move, he stepped out with his right foot, blocked the ball in front of him, and dragged his left foot behind, so that the ball leaked between his legs, so that Herrera did not dare to shovel down.
However, when Xu Ziyi rolled the ball next to the inside of his left foot, he tightened the arch of his foot and flicked it with the inside of his foot, and the ball bounced diagonally from behind him into the penalty area.
The ball first jumped past Enriquez's feet, then slid past Miel and landed at the feet of Zhang Shujie.
Before he could call out to his teammates, Zhang Shujie took a slight step to the right front, which was exactly the opposite of where Miel was.
Corona attacked, and if he didn't attack, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the ball.
The fact is that he didn't block his attack, Zhang Shujie pushed the ball with his right foot, the ball passed through his legs, rolled over the goal line, and hung up the net.
Gooooooooal!China pulled a goal back!
"Zhang Shujie narrowed the score disadvantage to one goal for the Chinese Olympic team, and now it is the eighty-second minute of the game, and the Chinese team theoretically still has a chance!"
The fans in the stands and the Chinese reporters in the press box were happy for a while, but only for a short time, and as Liu Jianhong said, there was still a theoretical equalizer for the Chinese team.
Wang Shihan looked at Zhang Shujie nervously in front of the TV, grabbed the corner of her skirt with both hands, and she saw that Zhang Shujie did not celebrate the goal. The young Chinese striker was busy getting the ball out of the net and quickly running back into the halfcourt, with the rest of the team running back as fast as they could, with Zhang Shujie and Xu Ziyi clapping him halfway through to thank him for the assist.
An Rong hurriedly called Xiao Feng back and replaced Yan Tao with him.
Yan Tao's end and Xiao Feng's play were very fast, and they were completed in more than ten seconds. But it was a different story on the Mexican side, with Peralta stalling out of the pitch and deliberately delaying the time, and if the referee hadn't warned him, he might have wanted to drag it out until the end of the game.
Peralta's replacement was No. 15 Vetiri, a defender, and Mexico were going to defend to the end. An Rong asked Yang Wei to warm up again, Yang Wei can play any position on the left side, and even play a cameo as a left winger, but his ability and skills are worse than Huang Yu on the left side, and they are slightly inferior to Xiao Feng.
Chinese fans continued to cheer for the soldiers of the National Olympic team, and Xiong Kui organized cheerleaders to set off waves of slogans. The Mexican wave is relatively rare in this game, if nothing else, because the opponent is Mexico, Xiong Kui is worried that this wave will not be good if it increases the morale of the opponent.
Although such a situation is unlikely, Xiong Kui feels that in this bone joint, those things that seem ethereal and inexplicable are not necessarily bad things to believe in them.
The Chinese team had four shots on goal in just two minutes, but there was a goal for Zhang Shujie to make Corona save the ball, almost allowing Wu Xiao to pick up a leak and make Mexico a little nervous. Turner shouted from the sidelines: "Defend, pay attention, if it's outside the box, take a tactical foul and try to delay the time!"
Unlike Turner, An Rong did not yell, at this last moment, in addition to attacking or attacking, now only Ma Junqiang is not good at attacking on the field, and the other players have more or less attacking power.
There was no one in the Mexican frontcourt, and the frontcourt of the Chinese team was full of people, and several defenders rushed forward. Now it is a desperate gamble to avoid the defeat of the Chinese team with the momentum of breaking the boat.
Xiao Feng passed Huang Yu diagonally, Huang Yu couldn't pass the ball to the striker in the penalty area, and handed it back to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng crossed Chen Zihua, but Chen Zihua deliberately missed it and leaked it to Xu Ziyi in the back. At this time, Zhao Wenkang and other teammates entered the penalty area, and there was no one to answer within ten yards around, so Wu Xiao withdrew a little and retreated to a position of one meter outside the penalty area.
After receiving Xu Ziyi's pass, Wu Xiao wanted to find a way to hand it over to Zhang Shujie or Li Mu, he took it sideways, and Salcido next to him hooked his left foot and hooked him to the ground.
Free kick in front of the Chinese team.
The location is relatively close, and the Mexican players attach great importance to it, and they expel a six-person human wall. They grind and try to drag out the little time they don't have. Zhang Shujie protested to the referee: "Look at them, they are deliberately delaying time!"
The referee saw that this kind of malicious delay in the game, as the person in charge of the rules of the stadium, he could not remain indifferent, so he immediately warned the Mexican players to speed up the crowd lineup.
"The Chinese team got a free kick in a good position, see who will take the penalty for this goal. Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are less likely, the distance is very close, the ball they kick is mainly based on arcs, and it will be more appropriate to be farther away. Liu Jianhong's voice revealed a faint anxiety.
Zhang Lu said: "It is estimated that Chen Zihua will be punished." β
The human wall was finally lined up, Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu's guess was right, Zhang Shujie would not take a free kick too close to the goal, and Chen Zihua ran up. He shot with great power, hit the human wall, bounced back, Zhao Wenkang grabbed the ball and forcibly stuffed it to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie unloaded the ball and turned to hit the goal, Miel stretched out a kick and kicked the ball to the other side.
Xu Ziyi made up the shot, the power was almost the same as the free kick shot by Chen Zihua, the ball passed through the crowd, Corona's vision was blocked, and he didn't see it clearly, but unfortunately Xu Ziyi shot a little right, and Corona narrowly saved.
"The Chinese team didn't score two shots, and the ball was collected by Jimenez...... Ah, wait, Li Mu! Li Mu snatched the ball from Jimenez's feet! He snatched it from inside the box!"
Jimenez didn't expect Li Mu to suddenly come out from behind him, he was not prepared, and his teammates were also surprised, it stands to reason that in a crowded defensive line, he should not be snatched away by the opponent.
However, Li Mu just snatched the ball.
This is the edge of the small penalty area, and the ball is at Li Mu's feet, it goes without saying how dangerous Mexico's goal is, Corona scolded Jimenez: "What a bastard!" and then pounced on Li Mu's side.
Li Mu played a near corner, there is no Mexican defender standing here, as long as the ball can pass through the goalkeeper, there is no doubt that it will be scored.
Corona chuckled when he saw the ball roll under his arm, and when he looked back, the ball had just rolled past the goal line, and although Enriquez still kicked the ball out, it was too late, and the ball had crossed the line and it was already a goal.
goooooooooal!3:3!The Chinese Olympic team played the score into a draw in the 87th minute!
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Li Mu! Li Mu equalized the score for the Chinese Olympic team! In the last few minutes, the Chinese team's wild attack really got the result we wanted!" Liu Jianhong shouted, his voice a little hoarse.
This time, the Chinese players celebrated unwillingly! Li Mu ran to the corner kick area frantically, grabbed the flagpole of the corner kick flag, and waved it in his hand!
In the press gallery, reporters such as Chen Hui and Shen Hao couldn't help but hug each other, just like those fans, applauding the spirit of the National Olympic team that was unwilling to give up.
The happiest was An Rong, who rushed over with Song Weifeng and the players on the bench to the corner flag. From Zhang Shujie's goal to Li Mu's goal, it took only five minutes for the Chinese team. Five minutes is a short time, and these two goals can be described as miracles.
Since An Rong coached the National Olympic team, this brand-new team has created too many miracles, and every time it has surprised everyone.
Wang Shihan let go of her hanging heart, and she noticed that even if the air conditioner was turned on at home, she was already sweating profusely.
She leaned back on the couch, panting slightly. She guessed that this score was very likely to be the final score in regular time, and it was estimated that the two teams would have to go through extra time or even a penalty shootout to decide the winner.
